justifying a "failed timeline" aka: let's give Batman Beyond a distinct event that sets it apart from the DC multiverse

So. As we all know. Comics are nuts. They are constantly shifting timelines and labels. They created Elseworlds and alternate timelines to deal with that, to sort and return to it if they wanted to.

Technically the DCAU world is Earth-12, a world set decades in the future from the world we follow. The current Batman Beyond run of comics is set there. It's also inside the "cartoon rim" a group of worlds that are/are close enough to the animated series and animated movies.

The designation "12" has been used multiple times so just be aware when you are researching.

But Batman Beyond has this different tone that the original shows have, even Justice League Unlimited never really dove into. Batman is isolated, Bruce Wayne is in a dusty manor, the Justice League is short about 20 members at least...the list goes on.

tl;dr: Batman Beyond world is so cyberpunk, desolate, and isolated because in the Near-Apocalypse of '09, Wonder Woman dies.

At the time of Batman Beyond in the DCAU, they didn't have the rights to portray Wonder Woman. Instead they used Big Barda in their Justice League episode (which, happily, was proof of concept for the Justice League series) . They only got her in the Justice League series proper. And if the DCAU is a connected universe...what happened to Diana?

(yes I know she shows up in the follow up comics. But again - alternate timelines.)

so. speaking of alternate universes. Earth 50, the Justice Lord universe as seen in JL s2 eps11 and 12 "A Better World".

Wasn't it implied in Justice League that the Flash's death caused the Justice Lords to take over the world? That Flash's personality and interactions with the League prevents them from going too far? Stopping them from becoming too serious?

I submit to the Fandom that the main divergence point of the DCAU (or at least, post JLU into Batman Beyond) timeline is Wonder Woman's death. Presumably in this "near apocalypse of '09", which was mentioned in s3 ep 4 "Out of the Past" but not followed up on.

This explains why Diana never shows up to talk with Bruce. That the Future Justice League is so small compared to the ranks in their self titled show. Once their heaviest hitter was gone, it broke the trust in keeping them together. The lack of magic in the world. The loss of heroes that actually don't have trauma, that just want to help. The lack of Truth, the reliance on lies and masks to make a difference.

anyway: Fandom Homework/Class discussion:

What would the DC universe look like if we kill off one of the Seven Founding Justice League Members? That is Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and The Flash (we did that one, but you can redo it if you want.)

What does each of the Core 7 bring to the team? What do they guard against? How does the team fall apart without their input?

And if you have a super team you like, i.e. Teen Titans, Young Justice, Avengers, ThunderCats, the Gaang, etc. Use your creative muscles to push them around and see what makes them tick. It is fun. It will hurt.

(bonus points if you reference Community s3 ep 4: Remedial Chaos Theory. All those relationships collide so beautifully in that ep.)

Thank you.

okay so like WHAT IF anton found out that the reader has NEVER squirted before so like he makes it his life mission to get her to do it but right as it happens, ONE OF THE MEMBERS WALK IT 💀

this is so wild i love it

cw. squirting (duh), member walks in

maybe admitting to anton that you’ve never squirted was a mistake. maybe you wished you had told him sooner. like all things regarding sex that anton discovers through his friends, he is always eager to come home and tell you about it, and eventually try it with you.

when he brings up how eunseok made his girlfriend squirt, you can already tell where this conversation is going. you sigh internally over the boys lack of tmi and need to discuss every detail of their sex lives, but you smile at anton and you tell him that you’ve never squirted before. not every girl is a squirter, and it’s probably not impossible for you do it, but you wouldn’t get too excited over trying to do it.

anton looks at you shocked, but he keeps his composure once you finish talking. you think he’s going to let it go, but in his head he’s just plotting on making you squirt. he thinks you just haven’t been fucked good enough from any of your exes, but anton wanted to be better. so he was determined.

so after that night, every time you and anton had sex he was a bit rougher than usual. he was fucking you in positions that you can feel him deeper in, fingering you before and after he fucks you, and overstimulating you to the point of tears each time. he was starting to give up, he wouldn’t force your body to do something it just simply wouldn’t do, and theres nothing wrong with not being able to squirt, he just thinks it would be so hot and proof that he can fuck you that well.

“harder, toni please” you moan out, the boy fucking you deep but still slow. he went back to fucking you like he usually would, but you had to admit that you enjoyed the roughness that he had with you days prior.

he brings your leg to move over his shoulder, and he presses your other leg down with his other hand before picks up the pace, making sure that each thrust has his hips kissing yours roughly. it makes your moans and whines louder, and antons hand that rested on your leg moves to cover your mouth to drown out your sounds.

“gotta be quiet remember, the boys are here” he slows down just for a moment and you nod, gripping onto his bicep when he speeds up again. the hand over your mouth moves again and you have to bite your lip to keep yourself quiet, especially when antons hand travels down to your lower stomach, pressing down on the flesh. your eyes go wide at the sensation, you can feel him more like this, and you feel your orgasm bubbling up fast.

“don’t stop, please don’t stop” your nails dig deeper into his arm after each thrust, his cock abusing your g-spot. you bring a hand down to your clit, rubbing quick circles on the bud to get closer to your peak. you clench tightly around anton and he groans, trying his best to not cum from how your cunt squeezes him.

“i got you baby, go ahead and cum for me”

right when your vision starts to go dark, you see the light of the hallway shine into the room, along with the faint sound of the bedroom door opening. anton pulls out of you quickly and you moan loudly while your fingers still rub at your clit aggressively, your release gushing out and soaking his sheets and his lower abdomen.

your vision fades in and out while you try to regain full consciousness, and once you catch your breath and blink a few times you look at anton who has a pout on his lips.

“you squirted.”

“huh? oh…” you lift yourself up on your elbows to look down at the mess you made, seeing how wet his sheets were along with the bottom half of his body.

“you squirted and i missed it because wonbin just had to walk in on us,” he pouts some more, and you almost want to laugh at how your boyfriend sulks over not being able to witness you squirt as if it was the most important thing in the world.

“it’s okay baby” you bring your hand up to his face and caress his cheek, comforting him through his loss. although he didn’t lose anything, he reached his goal in the end but he had to live in knowing he didn’t get to see it. it was almost like a light went off in his head, his still hard cock twitching before he laid you back down on his bed. he spread your legs open before aligning himself back into your dripping wet cunt.

“i bet you looked so pretty… gotta make you do it again”

[mellifiedprincess]

REALLY SHORT BUT SAPPY SHIT! and boob talk for like 2 seconds.

Opening the door to the house you share with the boys, you immediately take notice of the lack of noise that usually takes place.

You can’t say you’re not a little bit grateful, especially after working a 12 hour shift as a peds nurse. It was not a good day to say the least. All you wanted in that very moment was a hot shower and to be wrapped up in the arms of your ridiculously handsome boyfriend.

Closing the door to the garage, you walk over to Chris’s door and softly knock waiting to hear a response. “Yeah?” You peek your head in and see the boy at his desk, headset on and eyes focused on the monitor in front of him. “Oh, hey Y/N/N- Yeah, she just walked in.” Chris replies to you and then who you assume to be Matt through the headset. “Hey Chrissy, just checking in before I head upstairs. You okay?” This was part of your nightly routine. You couldn’t really remember when it started, but you always had to check on Chris and Nick before going to bed. Otherwise you couldn’t sleep.

“Yeah, I’m good. Matt’s yelling in my ear right now asking for you to hurry up. Kids acting like you just got back from war.” You let out a soft laugh at his remark. “I need to check on Nick, then I’ll be in there.” “Oh Nicks gone. He went to hang out with Larray and Arrington.”

“Alright. Well, try to get some sleep. You guys have that really important meeting tomorrow morning.”

“Oh shit! I totally forgot about that. Thanks.” You nod your head and you both say goodnight, before you turn and finally make your way to your bedroom.

When you open the door, your eyes find Matt’s already staring at you. He looks so…soft. Soft and warm and inviting. “Finally!” He huffs out. You can’t help but laugh at him as you walk over to where he sits at his desk. “I missed you so much today.” His voice is muffled by his face being smushed into your stomach, his arms tightly wrapped around you as if you were gonna leave him.

“I missed you too angel.” Your fingers push his hair away from his forehead, and you lean down to place a gentle kiss to his hairline. “I do need to shower though, and then I’m all yours.” A very audible whine leaves his mouth and he pulls you down into his lap, and immediately shoves his face into your neck.

“Can’t you shower in the morning? I wanna keep holding you.”

You’re convinced your heart just melted in your chest from how sweet your boyfriend is. “How about you come sit in the bathroom while I shower? You can tell me about your day.”

“Okay!” He jumps up at that and your eyes widen at the sudden movement. “Jeez Matty, warn me next time.”

“I’m just really excited to see your boobs.” That comment earns him a slap against his chest and an eye roll.

“You act like you don’t see them whenever you want, kid.” “I could have 24/7 visual of those things and it still wouldn’t be enough. Same thing with that pretty face of yours.”

You would never understand how he could be so sweet, yet disgusting at the same time.

You make it to the bathroom, and Matt places you back down on the floor before walking over to the shower to start the water for you. “I’ll be right back, baby.” He places a quick kiss to your lips and exits the bathroom.

When he returns, he’s holding a pair of fresh love sweatpants, clean underwear, and an old t-shirt of his that you stole and claimed as yours a long time ago. “Ughh I love you!” You can’t help but exclaim before pulling him closer to plant another quick kiss to his lips. “I love you way more though. No argument there.”

And Matt really believed that.

The love he felt for you was soul consuming. It was overwhelming in the best way possible.

“That’s not fair. I love you just as much as you love me! You’re the sun in my freaking sky Matthew.” You pout. Pout. And Matt can’t help but gush at how fucking cute you are.

He looks down at you, your arms wrapped around his waist, and he swears to himself that he would be the sun in your sky for the rest of your lives. And he knew what you meant by that, but being the sun in someone’s sky is nothing compared to being someone’s moon.

And you were his moon. Full of love and hope. The most nurturing person he knew, always taking care of others before yourself, especially him and his brothers. And you were always so calm, which helped a lot when he was on the verge of a panic attack.

“Okay, sweet girl. Let’s get you in the shower so we can go to bed. I know you’re probably exhausted.” He softly pats your hip, and moves so you can get undressed and finally shower.

Later that night when you finally retreat to bed, your head lies on Matt’s chest, sleep calling your name so softly you can barely keep your eyes open. Matt just watches you. He watches as your chest slowly rises and falls, and your breathing slows. He watches as you curl into his side even more. But he knew you weren’t quite asleep yet, because this man knew every minor detail about you.

So, when you reach for his hand and bring it to your lips before squeezing it against your chest, where it would stay for the rest of the night, he knew you were finally asleep.

something something caretaker! steve gets hired by rockstar! eddie to look after and live with wayne. everything is set up over the phone after eddie was given his resume so eddie's never physically seen the guy but he has enough positive reviews and references that it seems like there is anybody in this world that doesn't like this steve harrington fellow.

wayne munson soon becomes his #1 fan.

wayne keeps telling eddie all about steve in their weekly phone calls. anytime eddie tries to steer the conversation into something actually about wayne's health and wellbeing, wayne manages to involve steve. says that steve's blushing face is real handsome while steve rolls his eyes and laughs to himself across the room.

"you should come home on your next break," wayne says.

"i'm planning to."

"steve really wants to meet you," wayne says with an infliction.

"well, shit, wayne. from how much you gush about him, i'm excited to meet your new boyfriend too," eddie teases.

"oh hush, you. my casanova days are over. you, however, could use someone good."

the next break eddie has, nearly six months after steve starts working for the munsons, he arrives at nearly 11pm. he's quiet as he sneaks into the house he bought wayne years ago and nearly shits himself when he sees steve hanging out on the couch watching TV. he drops his suitcase to the floor, jolting steve out of his trance.

"oh god, i'm so sorry!" steve rushes to say as eddie clutches his chest and tries to steady his breathing.

"steve, i take it?" eddie laughs breathlessly.

"yeah, hi," steve stands from the couch and holds his hand out. "nice to finally meet you."

steve steps into the light as he does this and eddie's taken aback by just how handsome he is. oh fuck, wayne wasn't just messing around. eddie takes his hand, firm and strong, and shakes it.

"sorry to jumpscare you like that," steve smiles and his eyes twinkle in the low hallway light.

"no, i should've prepared myself," eddie says. "someone hasn't been in the house either than wayne or i in....well, ever."

"don't worry, i'll try to keep mostly to myself as you two have quality bonding time," steve replies sheepishly.

eddie shakes his head. "you don't gotta do that. you're more welcome around us than anyone. i owe you so much for looking after him."

steve smiles. "you already sign all my paychecks."

right, yeah. eddie's technically this guy's boss. eddie's never really thought of it that way before. that means any plans eddie's monkey brain had in the last thirty seconds about flirting with the handsome caretaker is out the window. it wouldn't be appropriate. eddie slouches and gives steve a tired smile.

"i'm gonna turn in. see you at breakfast?" eddie asks, hopeful despite his conflicting internal monologue.

"be prepared for oatmeal," steve jokes. "it's the only thing he wants for breakfast nowadays."

eddie scrunches up his face. "you don't have any poptarts or anything fun stashed away somewhere?"

"depends. do you like brown sugar cinnamon?" steve asks.

"love it," eddie whispers.

"then yeah, your breakfast fate can be a little better," steve nudges his elbow and it lights up eddie's skin.

"thank you caretaker steve," eddie salutes and turns heel to his teenage bedroom.

over the next few days, eddie goes out of his mind. he watches steve just do his job, the job he hired him to do, and he's still going crazy over it. how steve prepares for everything, accidents and things eddie couldn't even predict. spoon feeds wayne if his hands are too shaky. jokes and messes around with him like he's family. wayne's eyes keep drifting over to eddie's when steve isn't looking, a smug little smirk on his face.

"it can't happen," eddie seethes when steve leaves the room. "you're what's important here and i need him to stick around."

"and i need you to stop moping about the country, getting your heart broken every other week," wayne retorts. "steve's a good boy. he would treat you right."

"we don't even know if he's gay," eddie grumbles.

wayne gives him an unimpressed look that makes eddie bark out a frustrated laugh. "take a look at his bedroom, kid. you'll have all your questions answered," wayne advises right before steve returns.

"jeopardy time?" steve asks, hands already on wayne's wheelchair handles.

"eddie is gonna beat us both," wayne claims.

"that so?" steve beams. eddie is glaring daggers at wayne.

"he's full of useless facts," wayne jokes while eddie throws up his hands and steve laughs joyfully.

eddie falls for steve more and more as the week goes on. he tries his best to restrain it, tries his best to never be alone with steve. catches himself from checking steve out (especially in his daily running outfit, god) and swallows flirtatious lines that nearly escape his mouth. it's hard to say no when steve invites him to watch a movie or hang out with him while he cooks dinner but he does. eddie has to be coming off like a total dick at this point but it's for the best.

steve is out running an errand so eddie finally decides to snoop only a little bit. opens steve's bedroom door and smiles at all the decorations. sure enough, there is a little bisexual pride flag sticking out of the pen cup on his desk. eddie is admiring framed photos of steve and some kids along with little handwritten camp postcards on his corkboard when steve enters the room.

"anything interesting?" steve jokes from the doorway.

"shit!" eddie yells, clutching his chest again like he did the first night. "fuck, i'm so sorry."

"don't be," steve shrugs easily. "it is your house after all. i snoop your teenage bedroom all the time when wayne asks me to change the sheets."

"still, i shouldn't be invading your privacy," eddie says with an apologetic face.

steve walks carefully over to where eddie is standing. "i don't think there is much privacy between us where wayne is concerned," steve says quietly with a kind smile, leaning up against the desk.

"i'm sorry about him," eddie groans, rubbing his hand over his chin. "he is a little pushy about my love life."

"no, i'm sorry that he's weird about us. i swear i called you handsome once and he has never left it alone since," steve admits with a small blush.

eddie's eyebrows raise. "you think i'm handsome?"

"are you kidding me? you got this whole," steve gestures in a circle, "rockstar bravado going on. hard not to admire the show."

"well, you've got a show i admire too," eddie admits, inching closer.

steve huffs, looking down bashfully. "do i?"

"mhm. smart, genuine guy with a heart of gold. makes wayne's days better. lights up a room. probably rescues cats from trees and saves drowning puppies," eddie smiles.

steve tilts his head from side to side. "i may have rescued a cat before but it was stuck under my little brother Dustin's porch."

"see? heart of gold," eddie repeats.

steve exhales deeply, twisting his mouth. "i wasn't sure if you liked me."

eddie reaches his hand over and touches steve's hand on top of the desk. steve looks up shyly to eddie's sympathetic face. "i didn't want to-- there's a power trip here, you know? like you said, i sign your paychecks. i'm not about to pull out the moves and make you feel like your job is at risk if you aren't into it."

steve nods before slowly rubbing his thumb over eddie's.

"and if i am into it?" steve whispers.

"well i--" eddie stutters.

"can i kiss you?" steve asks quietly. eddie's not sure he's ever been asked in his entire life.

eddie nods. when steve's lips touch his, it's all over. any pretense of keeping his feelings undercover blows up like fireworks underneath his skin. eddie feels as his resolve sparkles and cracks away into the air. he encourages steve to keep kissing him by pulling in his face closer. steve sucks his bottom lip in between his own when his watch beeps.

"wayne's meds," steve whispers.

"old bastard," eddie jokes. "watch a movie with me later?"

steve bites his lip and nods. "i know just the couch."

You Have To Be Clear, Baby

Pairing: Frat!Rafe Cameron x Reader

Warnings:  N/A

Pronouns: She/Her

Word Count: 0.5K

Summary: It's time for Asher to learn a very important lesson because his father is Rafe Cameron.

Masterlist

Y/N remembers when she learnt the very important lesson she is about to teach her son. She had just started dating her now-husband and scrolling through Instagram. Her hand shakes a little as she shows him a post of her favourite pizza place. “I wonder what it would be like to work there. It would be so cool to own a restaurant,” she thought out loud, going back to the app once Rafe saw the post. The next week, she found herself in his car with a blindfold on her eyes. She was a little unsettled by the darkness, but excited to see what the surprise would be. The car halted and he helped her remove the ribbon. Her eyes met the sight of said pizza place and excitement filled her. “Aww, you remembered that this is my favourite place. I can’t believe I get to eat here with you,” she gushed about to get out of the car. His hand grabbed her wrist, “While we can have dinner here if you want, that isn’t the surprise. You now own the restaurant, Angel. I bought it for you.” Her eyes grew to the size of a Canadian dollar coin. “You’re joking?” she tried to get him to confess. His head slowly shook, “No. Why would I? You said it would be cool to own it, so I got it for you.” “IT WAS A HYPOTHETICAL!” she yells. “WELL YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN MORE CLEAR.” 

From that point on, she knew to clarify when she didn’t want something, especially if that something was very expensive. Years later, Rafe and Y/N are talking and Asher is playing with Tabitha on the carpet in front of them. He abandoned the dolls he was playing with when the elderly cat came into the room. Y/N spots the chaos in her living room and turns to address her son. “Ash, Baby. Please clean up your toys before you play some more with Tabs.” The little boy nods and starts cleaning up his barbies. After the room is cleared, he goes running to his parents. “Daddy, can you buy me a house, please?” Asher asks, jumping into his father’s lap. Y/N knows what Rafe is about to reply. It probably has something to do with how many rooms the house should have. “Do you mean a doll house, Baby? You mean a dollhouse, right? You have to be clear, Baby, Especially with Daddy,” Y/N interrupts her husband. Asher’s head tilts with a nod, “Yeah, Mommy. I want my dollhouse so my doll can have a house. Maybe it can look like our house?” Rafe grins at Y/N’s words, thinking about the incident all those years ago. He chuckles a little to himself.

“Of course, you can. Daddy will buy you whatever you want, Bud. I’ll get someone on it right away. And you should listen to Mommy. You have to be clear with me about what you want because Daddy would buy you and Mommy the world if you want.”

Asher smiles and hugs his father, “Okay, thank you. I also want a baby. A real baby. Like Jared’s new baby sister.” Y/N’s sip of water spews all over the room at her son’s words. Asher looks very serious about the request. A devilish smirk spreads across Rafe’s face. “Oh, I can definitely get Mommy to agree to that.”

Prom Queen!

Yuji Itadori x Reader

Part 2!

Content warning: fluff, bit of crying

＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾＾

“Oh im so excited Y/N! Aren’t you!” Nobara squealed as you sat together at lunch. She was in a giddy mood ever since Maki asked her yesterday to prom.

She was gushing profusely about how cute Maki was about it. She had bought her flowers and some of her favourite chocolates. Maki had been sending her cheeky glances all day today.

“Yeah I suppose..” you mumbled. You weren’t dying for someone to ask you but the thought of it did fill your teenage heart with warmth and make your stomach flutter.

“Do you want someone to ask you?” She hummed and your cheeks warmed as you thought about it, who even would ask you?

You were interested in boys but none were really interested in you. You had watched all today as different people were asked to prom. You puffed your cheeks out as you mulled over her question.

“Hmm. I mean, i guess I do a bit. Every girl wants to be asked but I don’t think anyone will” you mumbled mushing your food about.

“Hmm. I wouldn’t be so sure” Nobara giggled and your brow raised. She had that look in her eyes. A look you knew all too well.

“What are you up to Nobara-“ the bell rang and she quickly hopped up and rushed away waving her hand.

“Nothing! Don’t mind me. See you later!” You rolled your eyes and grabbed your bag.

You didn’t have any class. You began heading to the library to get ahead in some classes since you had prom tomorrow and would definitely be in no shape to do anything the day after.

You found yourself a table in the corner away from everyone else, opening your books up and grabbing a pen. You buried yourself deep into the lines of writing, jotting important notes as you read.

You hadn’t noticed the person who joined you until the cleared their throat and you jumped a bit. Your head snapped up to find Yuji. Your brows furrowed and you opened your mouth to tell him to go away when he spoke.

“Hear me out! Please” He bowed his head as he placed a small box in front of you with another larger box fulled with your favourite sweets. He straightened back up and you just stared at him.

“I’m sorry for whatever I have done to you Y/N! Please allow me to make up for it. I’ll do whatever you ask” His voice was hushed but you could hear the desperation within it as his round brown eyes stared into yours.

“Whatever you’ve done? As if you don’t know Yuji” you spat lip curling as you began packing your books.

“I-I don’t know! Thats the thing. You hate me so much but—I don’t know why” he whined as he grabbed your science textbook and held it to his chest.

“Yuji, give me my book” You were growing more and more agitated with him. You had made it so very clear that you did not want him to approach you but of course it gets round that people hate him so of course the perfect boy he is makes his ‘attempt’ at fixing things.

Because who could ever hate poor Yuji?

“No, not until you tell me why!” His raised voice gained a loud hush from the librarian. Your nose flared and skin warmed at his defiance.

“Y’really wanna know? What is this some sick prank? Because I got fed up years ago with your bullying Yuji” You snapped, teetering on whether to just lunge at him and wrestle the book from him.

“B-Bullying? I—No. i never bullied you” He stated eyes wider and mouth agape as he stared in shock.

“You tortured me every single time I was forced to go to your home. You pushed me, pulled me, broke all my toys. You pushed me from that damn treehouse!” Your cheeks were red with anger that was threatening to bubble out of you as your fingers curled around your bag strap.

“Wh-what? No—I never went in the treehouse as a kid. I was too scared” He defended himself and you scoffed.

“Stop lying Yuji. God, you’re so fucking full of yourself that you’ve deluded your own reality. You pushed me from that treehouse when we were seven and I got this” you raised your arm and pulled the sleeve up, showing him the white jagged line that stretched up the skin.

His brows raised and an ‘oh shit’ slipped past his lips. Your lips curled believing he finally crashed down from his high, high horse and remembered all the awful things he did to you.

“That was Sukuna. He did all that to you Y/N not me!” Yuji stated and you had enough. You snatched the textbook from his now limp grip and immediately took off.

Yuji scrambled after you grabbing the gifts and pulling at your bag. You tried to fight his grip but failed. There was no getting out of the grip of the star quarter back. Your eyes were wet with frustrated tears as your emotions were feverishly spilling over to reality.

“Y/N please. I never did those things to you. I have a twin brother called Sukuna. He used to tell me of a girl he picked on sometimes. I thought she was from school but it was you” His voice was low and sympathetic but it only drove you crazy. You were able to spin round and jab a finger into his chest.

“You’re ridiculous! You know that. A twin brother? I was at your home almost everyday. You don’t have a twin brother Yuji” Your wet eyes were wide, lips curled into a shocked smile as you jabbed his chest a final time.

Yuji quickly fished his phone out of his pocket. The box of sweets now crammed under his arm as he feverishly searched for proof. You sighed gathering yourself up and wiping your eyes. You sucked your lip in and went to turn and walk away when he yelped.

You glanced at the outstretched phone and your eyes widened. Your lip falling open as you stared at the screen that showed two Yuji’s. You glanced up at Yuji before pulling the phone from him and zooming into the photo. He did actually have a brother.

But that doesn’t prove anything. He could be using Sukuna as a fallback to try and make you believe him.

“Yeah? Well how do I know it was really Sukuna who was bullying me” You stated crossing your arms after forcing his phone back into his hand.

“B-Because! He told me all the time about what he did” He whined.

“Yeah well, how come I never seen you two together, like, ever” You asked.

“He had behavioural issues as a kid so my Grandfather often sent him away to a summer camp. He doesn’t go to this school either because of his issues” He informed you. His hands were white around his phone. His heart slamming in his chest as his cheeks tinted pink.

This was the longest you’d ever spoke to him!

You eyed him warily not really believing his story as there was no strong proof it really was Sukuna all these years. Yuji sensed your suspicions and quickly tapped his phone pressing it to his ear and talking.

“Sukuna, you remember Y/N from when we were kids” He pulled the phone to you and placed it on speaker.

“Y/N?…Y/—oh! That brat who I always teased when she came over” Sukuna’s voice was entirely different to Yuji’s. It was deep and gravelly and the sound of it made hair stand on your skin.

“Y-Yeah well, um—I was just wondering what happened in the tree house again?” Yuji sounded timid almost scared of Sukuna himself. Sukuna cackled through the phone and you felt tears gloss your lashes.

“Ah! That was hilarious. I managed to get her up by tellin’ her that her favourite little doll was up there—which it was..in pieces. Anyways, when she got up I pushed her back” Your throat grew dry at his description of what happened and You shook your head shuffling back on your feet.

Yuji’s heart dropped at your pale expression. He quickly hung up as you briskly took off. He was quick to follow however the bell had just rang and he watched you get swallowed into the sea of people.

He cursed as his hands dropped to his sides groaning and walking back into the doorway of the library to avoid getting swallowed too. He checked his timetable on his phone and almost leaped when he seen he had science with you.

He quickly rushed out barging past people to get there as soon as he could. He needed to apologise to you.

…

Yuji pushed the door open with a smile. His eyes narrowing in on your seat only to find it empty. His brows furrowed and he glanced over to his teacher.

“You’re late” Yuji didn’t say anything, didn’t try to apologise or conjure up an excuse. He simply turned on his heel and walked right back out, ignoring the yells of his teacher as he began scouring the halls for you.

He groaned as he headed back unable to find you anywhere! He even asked a few girls to check the women bathrooms. He turned the corner and landed his eyes on Nobara and Maki. His nose crinkling as he watched them make out.

“Uh—sorry to interrupt your gross pda but do you know where Y/N is?” He asked. Nobara’s head spun as her cheeks turned bright red.

“Y-Y/N? What do you want with her Yuji” She asked narrowing her eyes as Maki took a step back from her.

“I think i made her cry” he cringed as the words toppled out. Nobara’s eyes widened and her nose flared as she stepped forward raising her hand ready to pummel Yuji when Maki grabbed her.

“Woah spitfire. Yuji what did you do” Nobara was seething as she struggled against Maki in an attempt to lunge at Yuji.

“It wasn’t on purpose! I was going to ask her why she hated me and..y’know ask her to prom but she told me its cause I bullied her!” He told them his hands suddenly aware of the boxes in them.

“It was a big misunderstanding! My twin brother Sukuna was the one who hurt Y/N, not me” He explained but Nobara shook her head and flared her nostrils.

“A twin brother? What kinda lie is that Yuji” She turned her nose up at him.

“No really—“ he pulled his phone out and showed her the same photo he showed you and her eyes widened “I even called him and he admitted to Y/N that it was him”

“Ugh, you’re such a brainless idiot. Why even bother going near her” Nobara groaned as she dragged her hand down her face. Maki just grinned.

“Didn’t you hear? He has a little crush on your friend” Nobara simply rolled her eyes.

“I heard i just don’t understand why. You both never speak—“ Yuji opened his mouth to defend himself but Nobara continued “anyways, theres a few places she goes we can split up.

…

Yuji found himself scouring the football pitch outside. He had already checked the nurses office and the lower-class study hall. Nobara said you sometimes went underneath the bleachers if you really didn’t want to be found.

He ducked his head under and looked down each end pausing when his eyes fell on you, crouched low to the ground with your phone in your hand. He slowly walked up not wanting to startle you.

“Y/N—“ you quickly jumped up eyes wide and wet as they stared at Yuji who quickly stretched his hand out.

“Wait! Please. I wanna make sure you’re okay” He begged and moved closer now standing in front of you. Your sniffled made his heart drop.

“Go away Yuji. I want to be alone” you just sat back down pulling your knees to your chest. Yuji ignored your request and joined you.

“Im sorry for upsetting you Y/N. I just wanted to know why you hated me so I could make up for it” He mumbled shrugging his bag off as he turned his head towards you. You peeked a glance before returning your gaze straight.

“Why? Why even bother after all these years?” You mumbled. Yuji’s cheeks tinged pink and his ears warmed as his mouth drew dry.

Would he have to seriously admit right now why he bothered. He didn’t want to tell you about his crush like this!

“U-Um, well—I” he cleared his throat “IreallylikeyouandhaveforagesandIwantedtoaskyoutogotopromwithme!”

You turned your head to him brows furrowed as you repeated what he said in your head but couldn’t make sense of the rushed words. He sighed looking at your confused face.

“I-um, have had a bit of a crush on you since we were kids” he scratched the back of his neck as your eyes widened and your cheeks warmed “thats why I came to you in the library m’wanted to ask you to prom”

He held out the scuffed sweetie box as well as the smaller one. You carefully picked the smaller one up and slid it open. Your eyes widened further as you carefully picked up the shimmery silver bracelet with a pink gem as the center piece.

This whole day had been crazy. You laughed loudly which shocked Yuji and he turned as you dropped your head into your palms. The boy who you hated for bullying you turned out to have never done it and now he’s telling you you he likes you and wants to go to prom.

You were loosing it. You slid your palms down and placed the bracelet back into the box turning fully towards Yuji now. Your knees touching. His palms were sweaty as he looked at you. His skin warm and cheeks darkening.

“Yuji-I—I’m sorry for y’know how i’ve treated you all these years. I really didn’t know about Sukuna an-“

“Please don’t apologise Y/N! You had a good reason to hate me” He gave you a small smile which you returned. Your eyes drying.

You sat there for a moment just looking at each other. You didn’t feel any hatred towards him anymore now that you knew the truth. He wasn’t really that bad then everyone loved him for a reason and you liked a few of his friends.

“So-about prom? Y-You don’t have to say yes! Or anything but um-“ He trailed off wide eyes looking ay you for an answer and you remembered his question. Your stomach fluttered a bit.

You didn’t really know what to say. You never took an interest in boys as most didn’t have an interest in you. You truly believed you would go to prom alone but here was Yuji. A popular, well loved and sought after boy asking you to prom. Any girl would give to be in your position.

Your mouth was dry as you tried to think of an answer and Yuji caught your hesitance and interjected once more.

“We can make it a new start! As friends” His eyes crinkled as he smiled trying desperate to hide the slight disappointment and his nerves of being so close to you. His knee buzzed from where it touched yours and felt his skin prickle.

“Just friends?..” he nodded and you gave a small smile putting your hand out for him. “Okay Yuji as a new start”

He shook your hand but immediately pulled away and began apologising for how sweaty it was. You just giggled and stood up sticking your hand back out for him to take as you grabbed your bag.

He picked up the boxes and handed them both to you. Your cheeks warming as you thought of the bracelet inside. You headed out from under the bleachers hearing the familiar shrill of the bell as you walked back into the building. It was time to go home now anyways.

You found Nobara waiting at the front doors for you. Maki beside her along with Megumi, Yuta and Todo who waited for Yuji. You bumped Nobara who immediately began nosing into the boxes you had as you turned to Yuji and waved.

“Yuji! See you tomorrow!” His heart skipped at the smile on your face knowing he caused it. Todo’s mouth dropped open and even Megumi looked slightly surprised.

“She spoke to you?! She’s smiling at you!” Todo exclaimed as he grabbed Yuji’s shoulder.

Yuji just turned his head over to look at his friend and grinned with a shrug.

“Just a misunderstanding. Shes going to prom with me”

He couldn’t stop the giddy feeling that tingled up his spine and dropped into his stomach sending it fluttering the whole walk home. You liked him! Even as a friend but it was better than hating him anymore.

You know, I somehow never thought of how upsetting it would get to Floyd to be compared to Jade all the time - and the double standard would make it even worse because I’m sure Jade doesn’t get the blatant judging “you’re not like Floyd at all” kind of comments that he would probably get. :(

Also, you saying Yuu has scary guard eels is so funny and just… lol instead of scary dog privileges she gets scary eel privileges! 😁

Also, I know I was going on about wanting them to be a ship but I also want to reiterate that I also just love their amazing bond of friendship in Symbiotic Relationship. Like, I do recognize that they are NOT a ship in the fic.

And that just makes the moments so much better to me tbh????? The fact that, throughout the entirety of this, all of those moments, they are just close friends that would literally die and kill for each other (more the tweels than Yuu on that last one maybe lol).

Like… my best friend and I like to joke around and say we’re platonic soulmates. And that’s what I mean when I say platonic and familial love is just as important as romantic. Like I’d adore them as a ship (quite obviously) but I also love seeing them as they are in Symbiotic Relationship.

Like you said in the tags, they’re two eels with their (mantis) shrimp and Sevens help anyone that messes with them! 😂

🦈🦐🐬

Also I hope all these asks aren’t getting annoying and I also hope the last ask I sent wasn’t too “please write a sequel and ship them!!!” I really just wanted to gush over how freaking cute the three of them are and how much I love your writing. I’m bad with tone. 🙃 Anyway. I’m gonna go reread more! 😂

Oh no, I love these asks and I love talking about them~

I find that most of the Yuu stuff I write about, I write her relationships in such a way that it could be read as either romantic or platonic and neither would bother me. To the tweels, Yuu is an honorary "Leech", they adore her that much. Also, what cemented it for Jade about how much Yuu trusts him, is that she would look him in the eye and not look away unless something caught her attention.

This entire thing has spun off into it's own thing, it's got a mind of its own now. The boys totally gifted her with jewelry: Bracelet, necklace, sturgeon earrings.

"Shrimpy, you got your ears pierced, yeah?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nah~ It's a secret."

The Greatest Gift Of All

Genre: Romance, Idol!AU, Fluff

Pairing: Seonghwa x Reader (y/n)

Characters: Reader, Boyfriend!Seonghwa and other Ateez members. 

Summary: When you just wanted a small intimate birthday celebration with all the boys, of course your boyfriend has a few tricks up his sleeve to make it more special. But what he doesn’t know is that he is the greatest gift you could have ever asked for. 

Word count: 3.6K

“Happy birthday!” The boys all wished as you entered the dorm shared by Seonghwa, San and Mingi. They had all decorated the living room and put out loads of food. 

“Aww, thank you guys. I really love it.” You smiled, grateful for all their efforts. When your boyfriend had asked you what you wanted to do for your birthday, like go to a fancy restaurant or stay at a fancy hotel for a short vacation, you surprised him by requesting to just celebrate your birthday at the dorm with the other Ateez members. 

“Happy birthday, princess.” Wooyoung hugged you, kissing your cheek. San grabbed his collar, yanking him back.

“You’re lucky hyung didn’t see that or he’ll get angry. Again.” San shook his head, lecturing the shorter male. Wooyoung just gave an unbothered shrug, he wasn’t going to be intimidated. 

“You were mine first.” Wooyoung flirted.

“Speaking of... Where is Hwa?” You looked around, not having realised the most important person wasn’t here. 

“Right, let’s sit first.” Yeosang guided you to sit on the couch while you blinked in confusion. What was going on? The sudden silence in the room and serious demeanour of the boys made you worried.

“What happened? Did something happen to Hwa? You guys are scaring me.” You were now panicking, wondering if something happened to your boyfriend and they were not telling you. Hongjoong clicked his tongue, slapping the back of Yeosang’s head. 

“Yeosang ah, you can’t just say that to her, you’ll give her a heart attack.” Hongjoong scolded.

“Sorry.” Yeosang rubbed the back of his neck. 

“So, you know how you have a favourite Seonghwa?” Yunho asked, breaking into a wide grin. You frowned slightly at his question, unsure of what he was asking you. 

“Favourite Seonghwa? What are you talking about?” You asked. Wooyoung dug into your pockets, showing your wallpaper. 

“Oh... you mean, Halazia Seonghwa. I don’t have a favourite Seonghwa, I like all Seonghwas.” You chuckled, feeling your cheeks heat up. 

“Your phone wallpaper, computer wallpaper, contact photo says otherwise. And all the times you randomly bring up how good looking he was in the music video and the performance.” San mentioned.

“Shut it!” You squealed, covering your cheeks. You didn’t think you gushed that much, thinking you’d like to have some sort of cool persona around the boys. But all of them knew about your odd obsession with that one look of your boyfriend during a certain comeback era. You just thought that stylistically, the hair and outfits fit him very well. 

“We’re side tracking. There’s a surprise for you. Close your eyes.” Jongho redirected the chaos back to the main point of the conversation. You did as you were told, closing your eyes. 

“I swear, if you guys bought some lifesize Halazia Seonghwa body pillow, he’s gonna get jealous and kill you guys. Even if it is him.” You pointed out. 

“Like that one year Yunho got you his body pillow?” Mingi asked. 

“Everyone was getting Yunho body pillows that year.” You shrugged. Even Seonghwa got one later on his birthday from Yunho. But Seonghwa made you put yours in the cupboard. 

“You still haven’t told me where Seonghwa is.” You reminded. 

“I’m right here, baby.” Seonghwa’s soothing voice flooded your ears. The smile that came on your face was an involuntary reaction to him. You opened your eyes with the plan to jump into his arms to hug him but you just gasped.

“S-Seonghwa.” You covered your mouth, unable to hide your shock as you took a step back. 

Standing in front of you was Seonghwa, in his Halazia outfit. The exact one that he wore in the music video and was wearing in the picture you had as your wallpaper. He had his black hair styled and make up done the same way, looking like he literally stepped out of the music video. 

“Baby?” He smiled with a tilt of his head. The only difference was the black hair and the fierce expression and persona Seonghwa had in the music video was replaced by his loving smile and soft tone as he spoke to you.

“You broke her, hyung.” Wooyoung stated, stifling a laugh. Maybe he was right, your brain felt like it wasn’t really forming a coherent thought. 

“Baby? Are you alright?” Seonghwa put his hands on your arms as he shook you gently. He let out a nervous chuckle. Maybe for some reason, you didn’t like the surprise.

“I-I need a picture.” You finally recovered, scrambling for your phone. 

“Sure.” He nodded, opening his arm for you to standing with him. 

“No, I need a picture of you...like this... on your own...” You gestured with your hands for him to stay put. Wooyoung handed you your phone that he took earlier. Seonghwa stood there awkwardly, not expecting you to take solo pictures of him. Mingi and Yunho peeked over when you were just standing there with the phone.

“(y/n) just took like 200 photos.” Yunho announced. You slapped his arm for exposing you. San led you forward and Seonghwa tucked you under his arm for Hongjoong to take pictures of the two of you together. 

“Gosh, this is so embarrassing. I’m like a crazy fangirl.” You mumbled. Seonghwa turned to look down at your flustered face.

“Breathe, baby. And fangirls won’t get to do this.” He cupped your face with both hands and gave you a peck.

“Yuck! Get a room!” Jongho yelled. 

“Dream come true, isn’t it, (y/n) ah? It was my idea.” Wooyoung raised his eyebrows proudly. You wanted to curse and thank Wooyoung at the same time for making you feel like this.

“For that, I will forgive to fact that you kissed my girlfriend earlier.” Seonghwa said, glaring at the younger. 

“You like the surprise that much?” Seonghwa’s eyes bore into yours as he stroked your head. You nodded, hiding your embarrassed face in his chest, feeling the fur of his outfit tickle your skin slightly. You couldn’t even meet his eyes. His chest rumble from his laughter.

“Stop teasing me.” You hit him with your clenched fist.

“Alright, alright. Go ahead and eat guys. Thanks for celebrating with us.” Seonghwa said. The moment he said that, it was like unleashing hungry puppies as the boys piled on the food.

“Yeosang, you can’t cut the queue!” Mingi scolded as Yeosang cut in front of him to take a piece of chicken from the tray. 

“Hang on.” Seeing the others distracted, Seonghwa pulled you to his room. He sat on his bed, pulling you into his lap, his arms loosely rest around your waist.

“Aren’t you not going to look at your boyfriend?” Seonghwa continued his teasing, dipping his head down to make you have eye contact with him. You just coughed and looked away.

“You’re adorable, baby. I didn’t think me dressing like this would get you so flustered.” He chuckled. 

“You know this is my favourite era and look...” You mumbled. 

“If I change out of it, will you finally look at me?” Seonghwa rested his head on your shoulder, trying to act cute. You could practically feel his breath against your neck and cheek. A part of you didn’t want this to end, you wanted to continue seeing him like that. But of course, Seonghwa was still your Seonghwa, whether he was dressed up or not.

“One more picture?” You held up a finger like a child. He chuckled and nodded his head, letting you take another picture of him. He surprised you by grabbing your phone, kissing your cheek as he took the selfie. 

“Cute.” He smiled, sending himself the photo. You had a stunned look on your face in the picture. 

After Seonghwa changed into regular clothes, you wrapped your arms around his neck, standing on your tiptoes to kiss him properly.

“As much as I love Halazia Seonghwa, I will always love my Seonghwa the most.” You smiled, giving him another kiss. He squeezed your waist lightly, nuzzling your cheek with his own. 

“Happy birthday, baby.” He wished. The two of you went back out to join the others before t hey could eat all the food. 

“Thank you all for putting this together.” You thanked them again, touched that they would do this for you just because you requested it. But that’s all you wanted, to spend time with them because they were like your family.

“Don’t thank us. Of course we would celebrate your birthday! You’re always doing so much for us.” Hongjoong said. 

Yes, you were Seonghwa’s girlfriend but you also took care of all of them. You visited them often, bringing homecooked food to them since they really couldn’t cook. And you made sure all the fridges in their dorms were stocked with side dishes and snacks. 

“I haven’t done much, really.” You blushed. You stood with Seonghwa at the food table. He pointed at the different dishes as he held the plate for you, asking what you would like to eat. 

“My mum made the marinated crabs and marinated anchovies you like.” He said, putting some on a separate dish for you. 

“I’ll call her later to thank her.” You grinned. 

You had a great relationship with Seonghwa’s family as well. They treated you like their own and his mother was also constantly sending food over to you, reminding Seonghwa to ensure you’re well fed. 

“What Seonghwa hyung do you want for your next birthday?” Wooyoung asked, nudging you.

“I’m so not telling you.” You scoffed. Seonghwa came and sat between you and Wooyoung, being a little possessive since Wooyoung could be touchy with you. It was just in his nature to show physical affection to people that he was comfortable with but Seonghwa knew that Wooyoung did it deliberately to tease him sometimes. 

“Ah, hyung!” Wooyoung whined as he had to scoot backwards.

“I know! You like Bouncy biker Seonghwa hyung with the grills, don’t you?” He snapped his fingers. You didn’t reply him but Wooyoung knew you too well to know he was correct.

“Here.” Seonghwa ignored him, holding a piece of chicken for you to eat. You smiled and leaned forward to take a bite. 

“Make sure you’re eating too, Hwa.” You laughed, turning to talk to Hongjoong. Seonghwa watched you talk to his members, he loved that you all got along.

The day Seonghwa introduced you to them, he was so nervous. But the boys all loved you and were very accepting of you. You instantly clicked with all of them and most of the time, were even part of the chaos.

“The video of Hongjoong reluctantly kissing Hwa’s cheek on that show has gone viral.” You showed the others. Hongjoong facepalmed while Seonghwa let out a sigh.

“Why do you have it saved?!” Yunho laughed. 

“(y/n) is the only person I know who ships her boyfriend with another person. She even has a folder for Matz videos and fan edits.” Yeosang shook his head. 

“Hey, some of those edits are really nice and cute, alright? Especially with that whole mom and dad of Ateez thing. Honestly if I wasn’t dating him, I would be convinced that the two of them are dating for real.” You admitted. The 99 line boys and Jongho all laughed, nodding in agreement. 

“Woosan or Matz?” San asked. 

“Ah, of course, it has to be Woosan!” You answered without hesitation. The boys all adored that you were just as much of an ATINY as you were Park Seonghwa’s girlfriend.

“Yes! That’s the way. Woosan always wins.” Wooyoung clapped and cheered, doing the Woosan handshake with San. 

“Alright, kids, let’s clear up the area before we have some cake.” Seonghwa stood up. You all obeyed, splitting up to do different clean up tasks.

“Not you. You sit, baby. It’s your birthday.” Seonghwa sat you back down. 

“But I can help.” You pouted. He patted your head, leaning over to kiss you temple before going to the kitchen to help the others. The leftover food was neatly packed into containers for the boys to bring back to their dorms. 

“How has university been?” Yunho asked, coming to sit with you when he was done with his task. 

“Now we’re getting close to our examination period so it’s been busy. That means I don’t get to see Hwa as much as I like. Hopefully as we get the end of the year and the holidays come, my workload won’t be too bad.” You winced. You were currently studying in university, getting your Masters degree in pharmacy and public healthcare. 

“That sounds tiring.” He sent you a sympathetic smile.

“Being an idol is tiring too.” You giggled. Seonghwa was very supportive of your education. He always reminded you of how proud he was of you studying hard on your scholarship. 

“That’s true.” Yunho nodded. Seonghwa always wanted you to put your studies first, even before him. He knew how important it was to you. 

“Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday, dear (y/n)/ baby~ Happy birthday to you~” The rest of the boys came out singing. Seonghwa carried the cake with the lighted candles.

“Make a wish and blow out the candles, baby.” Seonghwa said. 

“Okay.” You clasped your hands together and closed your eyes. You wished for all the Ateez boys to always have good health and to always be safe. 

However, as you opened your eyes to blow out the candles, Mingi and Wooyoung blew out the candles in a quick puff. You just stared in shock, not expecting them to have done that.

“Yah!” Seonghwa put the cake down and yelled at the two mischievous boys for robbing your chances to blow out the candles. 

“It’s okay, Hwa.” You assured with a giggle. Seonghwa sighed, a little disappointed that the chaotic children messed up the more significant part of any birthday celebration. He handed you the plastic knife, at least you could have the first cut of the cake. 

“Who wants cake?” You asked. The boys all raised their hands excitedly. Seonghwa placed the paper plates and plastic forks down. After you put the first slice of cake on the plate, Seonghwa took over.

“Have the first slice, love. I’ll do the rest.” He said. You nodded, taking the first bite of cake.

“It’s really good.” You melted. With Seonghwa busy serving the other members, you took a small piece and fed it to him. 

“Here, let’s share a bigger slice.” Lastly, Seonghwa put a new bigger slice on your already empty plate. His arm rested on your waist as you shared the slice of cake, alternating between feeding him and yourself. 

When the cake was finished, the boys gave you their gifts and left the dorm, wanting to let you spend some alone time with Seonghwa. San and Mingi offered to stay at the other dorms tonight to give you and Seonghwa privacy but you assured them that it wasn’t necessary. The only plan the two of you had was to cuddle and sleep. 

“Goodnight. Thanks again for tonight.” You bid Mingi and San goodnight.

“Ah, enough with the thanks.” Mingi waved you off. San waddled over and gave you a big bear hug. Mingi joined in, wrapping his arms around you and San, making you laugh.

“Goodnight. Sleep tight.” San smiled softly. You waved before going into Seonghwa’s room. You changed into one of Seonghwa’s shirts and a pair of shorts you left the last time you stayed over. 

“This is from me.” Seonghwa handed you a small wrapped box.

“Hwa, you didn’t need to. Spending time with you and the others was enough and Halazia Seonghwa’s appearance was already an even more amazing present.” You said.

“Ah... Just open it.” He sat beside you, resting his hand on your thigh. You opened the wrapping and recognised the box.

“Seonghwa, this is too much. I can’t accept this.” 

“What are you talking about, silly? You don’t even know what it is yet and you already don’t want to accept it. See what it is.” He laughed. You opened the blue box and saw the rose gold ‘S’ necklace that was encrusted with diamonds. You softened at the sight.

“D-Do you like it?” He asked nervously, worried that it was too tacky or sent the wrong message. When he dragged Hongjoong to the Tiffany store, the captain had mentioned that it might seem a little over the top. 

“I love it. ‘S’ for Seonghwa. Thank you.” You wrapped your arms around him, planting your lips on his. 

“Come. Let me put it on for you.” You lifted your hair as Seonghwa put the necklace around your neck and clasped it in place. 

“You’re mine, okay? And I’m yours.” Seonghwa hugged your waist, putting his chin on your shoulder. You giggled and nodded your head in agreement, you were more than okay with that. 

“Thank you for this, Hwa. But I want you to know that having you with me is the greatest gift of all.” You shyly admitted. Seonghwa showered you in another round of kisses. 

“Sleep first if you’re tired, baby. I’ll go shower real quick. You can open the other gifts tomorrow.” Seonghwa said when he caught you yawning. 

“I’m fine.” You said through another yawn, rubbing your eyes. He chucked and kissed your forehead before leaving the room. 

While waiting for him, you were on your phone, replying to friends and family that were also wishing you a happy brithday. There were some ATINY that wished you happy birthday on social media too. With your free hand, you reached out to take Seonghwa’s famous white bear plush to hug. 

“You were able to celebrate with Seonghwa?” 

“Yes, omonim. I celebrated my birthday with all the boys, they prepared everything. Thank you for sending over the food, I ate a lot and enjoyed it.” You giggled as you spoke to Seonghwa’s mother. 

“That’s good. I hope the boys didn’t do any cooking since they aren’t very good. I’m glad you enjoyed it, Seonghwa told me you have been too busy to eat so I told him to make sure you eat a lot.” 

“Don’t worry, they ordered the rest of the food in. And yes, Seonghwa has been making sure I am well fed.” 

“University has been busy, right?” 

“Yes. There are a lot of assignments and exams to study for. But with Seonghwa by my side, I’ll get through it!” You heard her laugh on the other end. 

“I’m glad my son can be there for you. You work too hard, (y/n). You need to make sure you’re taking care of your health and body too. Sleep enough, eat proper meals.” 

“I will, omonim. Thank you.” Your heart grew warm at her kind words. 

“You should go to bed. Happy birthday again, my beautiful girl.” 

“Goodnight, omonim.” You smiled, even thought she couldn’t see you, and hung up. You scrolled on your phone, pressing the white bear plush to your face as you inhaled Seonghwa’s familiar scent. At some point, you fell asleep with your phone on. Seonghwa crept in, knowing that you would have fallen asleep, he knew you too well.

“Pabo. I told you not to wait up.” He chuckled. He took your phone and closed the app you were watching, putting it on his nightstand to charge. 

When your phone lit up to show the charging status, Seonghwa couldn’t help the snort that escaped him at your wallpaper, which was the fan selfie he took while shooting the Halazia music video.

He was glad he was able to make you happy today just by dressing up. He had never seen you act that way around him before, he thought you were so endearing and adorable when you were flustered and embarrassed. 

After he slid under the covers, he gently removed his bear from your hold. 

“Sorry, buddy.” He put the bear aside and took its place, putting your arm over his body and his own arms around yours. 

“Hyung.” San poked his head in. Seonghwa craned his neck, softly shushing the younger male. San waved the phone that Seonghwa left in the bathroom.

“Just put it over there.” He nodded over to the desk. As San came in to put the phone down, Seonghwa protectively shielded your sleeping form with his own body. He didn’t want anyone seeing you in this state, even his own members. It was for him and him only. 

“Goodnight.” San wished.

“Goodnight.” Seonghwa replied in the softest whisper as San closed the door. At the small noise, your eyes peeked open and you looked up at Seonghwa. 

“Hwa...?” 

“Shh, go back to sleep, baby. I’m here.” Seonghwa stroked the back of your head, hushing you to coax you back to sleep. He used his free hand to adjust the blanket over the both of you before cradling you against his chest. 

“I love you.” You murmured in your sleep. You snuggled into his chest, letting out a relaxed sigh.

“I love you too. More than you know.” He pressed his lips to the top of your head, letting them linger there for a while. 

Like you did with him, your warmth and scent made Seonghwa truly relax. He could spend an eternity watching you sleep in his arms. He brushed the hair away from your face, the soft smile never leaving his own as he saw the necklace sparkling around your neck. 

“Happy birthday, baby.”

Hello love! Can you do 22. " My mum asked about you again. " with Owen Power 🥹 thank you!

Owen bby doesn’t get enough attention

Days like today were one of your favorites. Owen was back from morning skate and you had off of work and together the two of you sat quietly on his couch. You let your fingers run through his long hair and made sure to scratch his scalp just as you knew he liked.

The two of you had been together for almost a year but with the routine you both fell into and how comfortable you felt around him, it felt like longer.

You weren't very focused on what was playing on the television. You much preferred paying attention to the way Owen was basically nuzzling into your hand. He, himself, was tapping away on his phone every few seconds.

“Would you ever come home to Mississauga with me during the next off-season?” His question broke the comfortable silence. The way he said it though, sounded as though he had been thinking about it for a while.

Your fingers stilled in his hair and you looked down at the boy whose head was in your lap. He looked sheepishly but you couldn’t help but smile. Neither of you had met the other parents. You told your family occasionally about the hockey player you met in Buffalo but not much, you wanted this relationship to be just yours and you were afraid that if you shared that with your parents and siblings then they would find a way to get involved.

You had no idea what Owen told his siblings or parents about you or your relationship and, truthfully, you were hesitant to ask. If he hadn’t said anything and you were the only gushing about your boyfriend then maybe he didn’t think it was as serious. Maybe he just saw you as a friend who he liked to have fun with in bed.

Asking you to visit his hometown, though. He must have been as in about the relationship as you are.

“Would your parents be okay with you bringing a random girl home?” You asked, trying not to let the giddiness or nervousness slip out. “I mean, it would be during the off-season, wouldn’t they want to see just their little boy.”

Owen snorted and sat up so he could look at you better.

“My mom keeps asking when I’ll introduce you to her.” Owen said, “I think it’s about time but if you don’t want to I understand.”

“You’re mom asked to meet me?” Your voice was quiet but you started to get excited and a little shy at the idea of his mom asking specifically about you.

You had never met the woman but from all that Owen talked about her, you knew she was important. You were frightened that if you met them all and somehow messed it up Owen might never talk to you again. After all, it hadn’t even been a year, how easy would it be for him to wash his hands of you?

“Oh, yeah, on the phone last night my mom asked about you again.”

You were about to say something until you ran his words through your mind again. His mom asked about you again. How often did he tell her about you? Your hesitancy went away after that and was replaced with a warm feeling in your chest.

You smiled at Owen as you teasingly said to him, “You talk to your mom about me?”

Owen smiled back but his reply was earnest when he said, “All of the time, baby.”

You couldn’t stop yourself from leaning over and stretching up to kiss him softly on the lips.

“Let’s go to Mississauga over the off-season,” you mumbled quietly, with your lips still slightly grazing his. You could feel his grin as he kissed you again, “I wanna meet your family too.”

Fan Club (Harley Quinn x f!Reader)

Summary: Harley introduces her amazing girlfriend to the Birds of Prey

Warnings: Fluff, Harley squeeing over Y/N, PDA, mentions of food

Request?: Requested on AO3

A/N: I'm still trying to get the hang of writing F/F stuff 😕

Harley was unusually cheery as she sat in the diner with Dinah and Helena. She was normally quite peppy and cheerful on a regular day, but this time she was almost bouncing in her seat.

“Harley, what did you invite us here for?” Dinah asked while Helena looked out the window.

“I wanted to introduce you all to someone important,” Harley said excitedly.

“Important?” Helena asked, turning her attention back to the table. “How ‘important’ are we talking?”

“Well, the most important person to me,” Harley said, her pale skin flushing as she turned her eyes down to the table.

Dinah and Helena exchanged a knowing glance just as the bell over the diner door rang.

“Hey, you can’t bring that in here!” one of the waitresses yelled as a hyena on a leash bounded through the room, followed by a girl trying to hold it back.

“She’s here!” Harley squealed in delight and leapt to her feet. The hyena made a beeline for her, pulling the girl along with it and knocking a few diners into the tables.

“He had to come in as soon as he knew his mommy was here,” the girl said breathlessly.

“Because he’s a good boy!” Harley said as she ruffled the hyena’s furry head. “Aren’t you, Brucie?”

Bruce licked Harley’s face and tried to jump onto her but was held back by his leash.

“Um, are you going to introduce us, Harley?” Dinah said from their table.

“Oh! Yeah, I was,” Harley said as she linked arms with the girl and led her and Bruce over to sit down. “This is Dinah and Helena, Renee couldn’t be here because of cop shit. Ladies, this is Y/N, my amazing, beautiful, super hot girlfriend.”

Y/N waved awkwardly, or as much as she could with Harley clinging onto her.

“Nice to meet you,” she said shyly.

Dinah knew that Harley had started seeing someone, but she didn’t expect them to be like Y/N. Harley was so lively and colourful while Y/N seemed to be more subdued and quiet. Opposites attract, she figured.

“So, Y/N,” Dinah started. “How did you and Harley meet?”

Y/N opened her mouth to speak, but Harley jumped in for her immediately.

“Oh my god it’s so cute, we met at the library!” Harley said, pronouncing it as ‘lie-berry’.

“Library, sweetie,” Y/N corrected. “It’s where I work. I thought she was coming in to borrow movies but it turned out it was to talk to me.”

“Aw, that's sweet,” Dinah said as she and Helena watched Harley rest her head on Y/N’s shoulder.

“Guys, she’s so smart, she knows so much about so many things!”

“Babe, you have a PhD,” Y/N said. 

“Oh that old thing doesn’t matter,” Harley said with a handwave. She must really like this girl if she’s willing to say that, Helena thought, knowing how proud Harley was of her qualifications.

After a lunch that mostly consisted of Harley gushing about Y/N through mouthfuls of food, the four ladies went outside to say their goodbyes for the day.

Or at least, that’s what Dinah and Helena were about to do when they turned around to Harley lip-locked with Y/N as she tried to keep Bruce by her side. The two of them seemed to be oblivious to the fact that they were out on the street and were contained in their own little bubble of love. Helena cleared her throat to get their attention but was ignored.

“Harley?” Dinah piped up.

“What?” Harley said, her lips loudly smacking against Y/N’s as she broke away. Her mouth was smeared with red lipstick but she clearly didn’t care about her makeup at the moment.

“We’re gonna head off,” Dinah said. 

“It looks like the two of you could do with some privacy,” Helena added.

“Oh, we’re fine,” Harley said as she nuzzled her cheek against Y/N’s.

Y/N, however, looked like she was about to hide, obviously not used to Harley’s public displays of affection.

“It was nice meeting you two,” she said to Dinah and Helena and smiled warmly. “Hopefully Reneé can meet with us next time.”

They all said goodbye and went their separate ways, Harley and Y/N hanging back a little longer before heading off home themselves.

“Thank you for meeting my friends, baby,” Harley said as she tightly hugged Y/N.

“No problem, I had fun,” she said as she returned the hug and kissed her on the cheek.

Harley took her chance to capture Y/N’s lips again, tasting leftover maple syrup on her mouth and stroking her head gently.

“I hope they end up loving you as much as I do,” she said, her lips not moving away from hers, desperate to continue kissing her.

“We’ll see,” Y/N said. “But can we go home now? People are starting to stare.”

“Let ‘em stare!” Harley said. “I want people to know that I swept the hottest girl in town off her feet.”

Bruce whined from next to them and nudged Y/N’s leg.

“I don’t think I’m the only one who wants to go home here.”

“Alright, fine, we’ll go. But not because this big baby said so.”

Together forever

• Zenitsu Agatsuma x Male reader

• Genre: Fluff

• Summary: Zenitsu realizes that he wants to be together with you for all of eternity but, he doesn’t know how to explain it to you because you’re related to Inosuke Hashibira.

Zenitsu was in love.

He wanted to spend the rest of his life with [Name]. He wanted to scream to the whole world about how much he loved him. He wanted to tell [Name].

He wanted to tell [Name] how much his heart ached for him.

But [Name] was oblivious, he was like his brother Inosuke an idiot.

But to Zenitsu he was a lovable idiot.

You see here everybody knew Zenitsu was in love with [Name]. Everyone but [Name] and Inosuke, they were to caught up in their sibling fights and arguments.

So when everyone heard that Zenitsu was finally going to confess to [Name] they were more than happy to help, but Zenitsu politely declined any offer.

“Im sure I can do this Tanjiro!” Zenitsu said to Tanjiro giving him a nervous smile.

“Are you sure Zenitsu?” Tanjiro worriedly asked him. Tanjiro wanted the best for his friend, although he wasn’t so sure his plan would work.

“Im one hundred percent sure!” Zenitsu said. He really hoped his plan would succeed, but he had his worries.

“Okay, I’ll see you later Zenitsu!” Tanjiro grinned as he saw the boy walk out the room.

When Zenitsu walked out the room he felt a gush of nervousness spread throughout his body.

‘Get yourself together.’ Zenitsu thought to himself as he took a deep breath in and out.

“Now I have to find [Name]!” Zenitsu mumbled to himself. Of course finding [Name] wouldn’t be a problem. He could sense that the boy was all alone, his plan was going good so far.

Zenitsu quickly rushed to the yard where [Name] was in. He was about to open his mouth until he noticed how handsome the male was. He couldn’t even tell that he was staring at [Name].

“Hey Monitsu! Are you gonna sit down or what?” [Name] asked, making Zenitsu snap back to reality.

“Um…Sure!” Zenitsu answered, as he took a seat next to [Name].

Zenitsu couldn’t believe it. [Name] looked so pretty from up close. The scars on is back from battles, the way how his skin shined in the sun, it was just amazing.

He was amazing.

“If you’re here to just look at me I’m leaving.” [Name] bluntly said as he played with his fingers.

“Oh no, I’m here because I needed to tell you something important!” Zenitsu mumbled.

“Okay…What is it?” [Name] interrogated, wanting to know what was so important to Zenitsu.

[Name] looked at Zenitsu and told him, “Calm down, I can feel your heart racing. Are you hungry?”

“No I’m not hungry I’m fine!” Zenitsu said in an attempt to reassure [Name].

“Alright, so what did you wanna tell me?” [Name] implied.

Zenitsu took [Name] and made him stand up, took both of his hands, and intertwined them with his, and took a deep breath.

“[Name], I don’t really know how to tell you this. But I really like you. I like like you. I like spending time with you, I like fighting battles with you, I like everything about you. I want to be with you forever [Name]!” Zenitsu told the boy.

[Name] looked at Zenitsu with a look of pure confusion on his face.

“I like like you to.” [Name] shared back.

“No [Name] I wanna be with you forever!” Zenitsu screamed.

“Ok so we’ll be with each other forever, I pinky promise.”[Name] said, a small smile beginning to appear on his face.

“You swear?” Zenitsu asked.

“I swear.” [Name] smiled.

The Perfect Tree | Arthur Shelby x Reader

Request: no - part of my Countdown to Christmas Event

Pairing: Arthur Shelby x reader

Summary: In which Arthur and his family wait until the last minute possible to find their Christmas tree…will it still be perfect?

Warnings: one bad word

Word Count: 1365

A/N: this one feels personal given that I’ve only just got me tree this past Saturday. Only 5 more days, y’all! Enjoy! :)

"Is today the day, mumma?" seven year old Stephen Shelby asked as he walked into the kitchen, where his mother and father were just finishing up with dealing with breakfast.

"I think it may be," (Y/N) answered her child, a smile on her face as she draped the dish towel over the sink.

"The day for what, son?" Arthur chimed in from where he was sitting with the newspaper, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"We're getting our tree today!" Stephen cheered, his smile just about touching his ears.

"Why don't you go make sure your sister is ready?" (Y/N) suggested to the boy, who eagerly jumped on the task that was presented to him.

"We're getting our tree today?" Arthur looked at (Y/N) the second Stephen left the room.

"I figured we would...given the fact that Christmas is now five days away," (Y/N) answered him, not shying away from placing emphasis on the lack of days that there was until Christmas.

It seemed like the Shelby family had really dropped the ball with the Christmas preparations this year. Like (Y/N) pointed out, there were only five days until the big day, and they'd only barely decorated. There was a good reason for this though.

"Well I thought that maybe you'd want to scale it back this year...with Leo being born and all," Arthur explained his thought process. Their youngest of three, Leo Shelby, had been born at the beginning of December, so it was only fair to assume that there was a potential of things looking a bit different this year.

Not in (Y/N)'s mind though. "Oh no, Arthur...if anything we need the tree even more now. We can't not have a tree on Leo's first Christmas," she stressed the importance of tradition. Her son was only going to have one first Christmas, and sure he'll most likely not remember it, but she damn sure will.

Arthur pursed his lips and nodded his head. She'd made some very good points. "What'll we do with Leo though? You plannin' on bringin' him with us?"

"No, having him out like that wouldn't be good for him. I'll call either Polly or Ada over to watch him while we're out," she explained her remedy for that roadblock.

"I suggest you call 'em now so they'll have some time to get over here," Arthur suggested, nodding his head towards where the phone was hung on the wall.

"Good idea," (Y/N) said with a grin, "how 'bout you go and check on the kids. I'm worried that Eileen's giving Stephen a hard time since they've not come down yet," she told him what he could in the meantime.

Arthur nodded as he stood, mumbling something about not being the best one to be put in for this situation. (Y/N) just rolled her eyes at his comments, ignoring them as she made her way over to the phone.

—

"Thank you so much for this, Ada," (Y/N) gushed as she opened the door to see her sister-in-law, who'd also brought her son, Karl, along.

"Of course, (Y/N)," Ada smiled back at the other woman, "I'll make sure Leo stays warm in here while the rest of you go out and find yourselves a tree," she said, stepping inside and following (Y/N) to the sitting room, where Leo was bundled up in his moveable bassinet.

"Stephen?! Eileen?! Are you ready to leave?" (Y/N) called out for her two older children then.

"Coming, mum!" they both shouted as footsteps were heard racing down the stairs then.

"Hi, auntie Ada!" Stephen greeted the other woman who was standing in the sitting room. Ada smiled at the two children as they moved over to hug her.

"Arthur! We're getting ready to go out!" (Y/N) called for her husband then.

"I'm comin’!" he called back from where he was in the kitchen. He appeared seconds later, working on getting his coat situated. "We all ready?" he asked once he was in front of his family.

"Yes we are," (Y/N) affirmed, a smile on her face before she let the two children go out the door first before following behind with Arthur.

——

"Are we almost back home?" Stephen asked as the family trudged their way back through the snow.

"We should be," Arthur answered, grunting as he continued pulling the tree across the ground, "don't know why we had to go out so far," he couldn't help but mumble.

"Because there were no good trees closer, and it had to be perfect," (Y/N) answered him, happy that Eileen had insisted on holding her hand. She didn't want to have any parts in the tree dragging.

"Well let's hope that there's still some branches on it by the time we get back," Arthur stated, squeezing his eyes shut as he used up whatever energy that he had left. He didn't expect to be pulling a tree through the forest today.

"I can see our house!" Stephen exclaimed, pointing out ahead of him.

"Thank Jesus," Arthur breathed.

"We're almost home," (Y/N) said with a smile, the excitement building up inside of her. Decorating the tree was her favorite part of getting ready for the holidays.

It only took them a few minutes to get to their door, and several more for Arthur to get the tree inside. Soon enough, it was standing upright in their front room, and the kids were bouncing with excitement as they prepared to begin decorating the tree. (Y/N) made sure that all of the materials were out before she spun around to see where Arthur was.

"Sitting this one out?" she asked him, looking to where he was sitting on one of the chairs; a glass in his hand.

"I'll let you and the kids have the fun," he answered her, fiddling with the glass in his hand then. He smiled as he looked at her, watching as she accepted his answer and turned back to their children so that they could begin working on the tree.

The tree was decorated rather quickly, and soon enough, all of the lights in the room were out so that Stephen and Eileen could bask in the warm glow of the candles that were positioned strategically around the garland, tinsel, and ornaments. (Y/N) was sitting on Arthur's lap, her arms hooked around his neck as she smiled down at her children.

"We picked a good tree this year," she started, looking it over once more, "I might even say it's perfect."

"You certainly have the eye for them," Arthur commented, a grin tugging the corners of his lips upwards.

"I'm sorry for getting upset with you in the woods today," she told him then as she turned to face him, a slight frown on her face. It wasn't obvious in the moment, because (Y/N) cared a great deal about her tree, but the fact that she and Arthur had what was on the verge of a full-blown argument over the type of tree that they'd be getting was a bit over the top thinking back on it.

"No need to apologize there, love," he brushed her off, "I should know by now that the tree is your area of business and that any feedback that I may give might only serve to complicate things more."

(Y/N) couldn't help but giggle at his statement. "I shouldn't 've said those things to you though," she said then, resting her head on his shoulder.

"The kids got a kick out of it at least. They're used to their dad saying shit like that...never would have expected it from their mumma," he said with a chuckle, his hand falling to rest on her kneecap. They both laughed at his comment before silence fell over them. A smile formed on (Y/N)'s face as she looked at her children again. "It does look perfect though," Arthur spoke up after a few moments had passed.

"It does," (Y/N) agreed, her eyes focused on the tree. Now they were officially ready for Christmas to come.

MASTERLIST

Countdown to Christmas MASTERLIST

[scepterno]

Aaa i would love to see things from Alejandro point of view, stories can become almost completely different when u look at it from another angle!! Especially since Noah and Alejandro have somewhat different outlooks on things.

and ab the sequel I think I’ve said this before that u write an stuff no matter how gritty and I have a feeling you will go into detail for the fic oh god😭 I will have to put my phone down and think a good few times I’m sure hahaa

Anyway I acc adore ur writing and I hope you do more based off of TD (Idk much ab the other fandoms you write/draw for :( ) especially Noah since I personally believe he is an insanely interesting character despite having little major screen time (notice how his only big arc in the main series is based off of alejandro sorry for splitting this into a whole 3 paragraphs)

alejandro pov would definitely be. VASTLY different from noah's, which i think would be SO MUCH FUN to write just because of the fresh breath it would grant me. the more i talk about it, the more i want to do it, so GOOD JOB MOTIVATING ME.

as for the GAY SEX. yeah. i get very descriptive when i write porn. i really love describing the beauty of the human body, especially disabled and queer bodies!! it's less about the sexual gratification for me and moreso about the EMOTIONS. the PLOT. i almost never write smut for the sake of smut. its always about the CHARACTER for me.

alejandro especially is going to be very fun for me to write for since i think i personally see him in a different light than most would?? like, not to outright spoil anything, (and warning for discussion of nsfw topics), but he is a pure bottom to me. i do not see this man topping nor having the desire or ABILITY to top. which i know doesn't really mean anything or have significance to others as important, but as a gay man myself, it does! and i love exploring characters' psyches through their sexual preferences or abilities.

and with the addition of alejandro being disabled, it does greatly affect how he approaches sexual intimacy! which is very.... idk. raw? and healing? to explore through writing. and i hope some people will be able to relate or at least emphasize with him and OTHERS irl who experience what he does. ya know? ya dig? ya vibe?

as for noah. WHOO BOY. i sure am an enthusiast when it comes to giving side characters a whole fleshed out personality and story of their own. i LOVE love LOOOOVE being given tidbits and morsels to work with, as opposed to having everything spelled out for me in the canon material. noah is a wonderful character exactly how he is because you get enough to love him and be interested in why he's such an emotionally closed off asshole, but not too much that it satisfies you as the audience. you want MORE, so you end up CREATING MORE yourself. that's the beauty of loving side characters with little to no content. YOU create the content!

anyways. phew.

im out of metaphorical breath. thank you so much for the messages, anon!!!! the autism in me is thriving rn. i love discussing this sort of stuff!!!!!! so much!!!!! im very passionate to my core. gushing about fiction and literature and art is like. THE biggest source of happiness in the world to me. yipeee!!!!!!!!!! mein cola!!!

[buckevantommy]

alright i finally managed to get a copy of the ep and i'm watching it on my smallass iphone screen which isn't ideal but i can't wait 3 days to get access to a bigger screen so here we go:

i need to know if that rainbow flare on buck was intentional

i might be looking too hard but that hand grabbing buck's throat and then eddie's junk could be foreshadowing for you know what, i mean who's to say?

oliver deserves a fucking oscar for his nervous smitten buck performance

tommy shaved for their date which is so old school i love it but i also miss the scruff and need to see its return asap

hints of Tommy Backstory, my beloved

the convo about renting out a home with marisol and eddie but including buck is making me think of how buck is possibly being 'rented out' to tommy in the narrative for now but later eddie will be the one to buy

i understand tommy ending their date early but WHAT HAPPENED to him picking up buck from his loft?? and don't tell me he ubered for a first date when we know he drives. although i get not wanting to drink and drive ig

also: tommy was meant to pick up buck at 8pm and now they've finished dinner so wtf is eddie and marisol doing starting their dinner at like 930pm is that an LA thing bc that's insane

'oldest italian restaurant' sign just makes me think of tommy and buck's age gap and i giggle and gasp

buck's reaction to being rejected is breaking my hearrrrt. tommy opened him up to his sexuality and buck was So Excited and now this guy is just dumping him?? who is he supposed to bounce his restless bisexual energy off now??

we're not even 10mins in so i have no idea what the bulk of this ep is gonna be about

oH YEAH THE GAY MOMS pls let them be happy

BUCK COMES OUT TO MADDIE ACCIDENTALLY like a true bisexual disaster

The Guy Thing is very much The Point buck, you sweet thick cinnamom scroll

buck is doubly an ally. he's a bially.

keep talking buck i am cackling you adorable baby bi

insane thing to have eddie post-sex with his nun gf after buck was gushing about tommy

it's okay buck, false starts with difficult convos happen, you'll get there

something something buck intending to come out to eddie and eddie explaining his sex problems all while eddie gets sweaty and swole

LIKE SEAMONKEYS! buck i adore you

buck wishes he could lend eddie a hand but he can't bc he's no homewrecker and bc eddie is quote unquote straight. not bc he himself is taken, bc the hot pilot dumped him and oh now i'm sad again :(

there's some buck+guilt [re:self worth] meta glanced over here that makes me wanna delve into some introspective reads

buck giving good advice is something that can be so personal

hen saving a rescue dog after it attacked the firefighter trying to save it as a parallel to their current foster child situation. it's just good storytelling. the dark stuff is getting hopeful

HANG OUT WITH THE BOYS eddie you don't know how perfect your words are

i really love the way they chose for buck to come out to eddie. trying to do it at a certain time didn't work for him, it was too daunting. but as soon as eddie mistook buck's date with tommy for something platonic? buck doesn't want to hide anymore. it really speaks to the human and especially the queer experience - that need to correct someone's misinterpretation (someone important to buck) of who you are.

GAY TOMMY CONFIRMED

supportive eddie and 'this doesn't change a thing between us'

buck finally getting to talk to his friend about getting dumped by a guy he was really hoping for more with

eddie's turn to give good advice to buck re:his dating life and we come full circle

buck's relief at eddie knowing and accepting him. the double-back for the hug. the comfort is all there.

i want to shower the wardrobe department in love for putting buck in that slutty blue 70s polo for his date within tommy and then the sky blue sweater and now this tight stripey number i am digging the vibes

buck hearing that he didn't screw things up with tommy, tommy just didn't want to pressure him bc the feels are mutual! and buck taking responsibility for his behaviour bc he's mature like that he's a good dude

i love lou but oliver literally glows - and i don't mean from the sunshine - he lights up every scene

the way buck gushed about tommy's confidence to maddie and now he's the confident one reassuring tommy that he wants this and that it won't be weird for tommy i am so proud of him

HOUSTON WE HAVE HAND HOLDING

sad my buddy chim was barely in this ep :(

WEDDING TEASER and we've got a Hangover situation and a missing groom omg

the writers are working their magic and we are reaping the rewards.

[mrsbsmooth]

Do you know any of the tea about Jin from Kyle or Bea??? I don’t have the gems to find out for myself 😞

Hi love <3

Bea [Chat 1]

It was low-key. Drinks and chatting. Jin let her lead the whole conversation.

She was flirting with him but he was having none of it.

He seemed bored on the date. He asked her lots of questions but didn't seem that bothered about the answers.

Bea was a bit gutted. She did fancy him. But he kept talking about you.

It was completely platonic between her and Jin right from the start.

Casa Boy Chat

I'm not a shit-stirrer but

Before Casa kicked off, your OG boys were already chatting about it.

Now, this is weird. The script is saying that it was your LI who brought up Casa Amor, but I swear to god Max [in my game] said it was Oakley? Weird. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it was Oakley.

Bea [Chat 2]

Bea is talking to [OG girl] on the terrace (for me, Emel)

She's trying to stall to start with, but she opens up.

Jin shook her hand at the end of the date.

There were TWO OTHER GIRLS.

He was super platonic on his final date, but it was different with the first girl, they seemed to really hit it off. Her name was Sienna.

BEA_IDLE: They were chatting about pranking their mates. BEA_EMBARRASSED: They were both finding each other really funny.

If you're on a Claudia/WLW route, Bea hits on you. If not, she says she actually really wants to be your friend.

Anyway, here's the rest (without expressions)

BEA: The reason I was a little awkward with you at the start was because I felt torn.

PLAYER: Why?

BEA: I didn’t know whether to drop the truth about {0} and Sienna. I was the new girl, I didn’t want to cause any drama, y’know?

PLAYER: So, there really was a proper strong vibe between them?

BEA: I’ll be honest with you, {0}. It felt like his head might’ve been turning.I heard him tell her… Oh, I don’t know if I should say this.

PLAYER: It’s better to just be honest about it, Bea. Especially if you want us to be friends.

BEA: He said she was stunning, a head-turner for sure were his actual words.

PLAYER: And was she? A head turner?

BEA: Well, she was pretty stunning, yeah.

PLAYER: Did you speak to her?

BEA: Only briefly. She was super excited before the date. I think she said he was the only boy in the villa she properly fancied. She was buzzing to get to spend time with him.

PLAYER: Did she say anything about me?

BEA: She might’ve mentioned you.

PLAYER: Go on…

BEA: Something about how she didn’t see you and {0} lasting. And that she’d be a much better fit for him.

Is she for real?!

PLAYER: Is this girl for real?

PLAYER: Making big statements like that when she doesn’t even know me?

PLAYER: She has no right to comment on mine and {0}’s connection.

BEA: Yeah, she seemed like the type of girl who doesn’t hold back.

PLAYER: Sounds like it.

Maybe she is…

PLAYER: I mean, maybe she is.

BEA: Seriously?

PLAYER: I don’t know the girl. I wasn’t there on that date. Maybe they’ll end up being the loves of each other’s lives. You can never predict these things.

BEA: I’m not so sure about that {0}.

She can think what she wants

PLAYER: That’s funny.

BEA: Is it?

PLAYER: Kinda.

BEA: Are you not bothered?

PLAYER: I couldn’t care less. I’ve never met her. She can think what she wants.

BEA: Fair enough. I spoke to her after her date too.

PLAYER: What did she have to say?

BEA: She was mainly just gushing over how much she liked {0}. She said they had a lot of chemistry. And the date flew by because they were talking so much. Sounds a lot different to the date I had with him.

PLAYER: Sounds like she had a good time.

BEA: She was certainly a happy girl. Apparently they were on the same wavelength about a lot of stuff. She said she’d never clicked with someone like that on a first date.

[discussion of whether ot not the girl is lying it’s not that important]

BEA: There’s one more thing…

PLAYER: More?

BEA: {0} didn’t actually choose who he got to bring back with him.

PLAYER: He didn’t pick you?

BEA: It was down to a public vote. So, I’m thinking… Maybe Sienna would’ve been here instead of me, if things had been different.

Hope that helps love <3

THE HELL IF HE KNEW... HE KNEW OF LOVE... knew it better than the back of his hand, but while he knew of it, he couldn't quite say it spoke fondly of him. Oh, love, how it became sort of a TWISTED JOKE in his life. First, his mother.... they say a mother's love is by far the most important... but she didn't stick around long enough to offer him THAT LOVE. Can't even remember what she looked like; all he knew from what his old man told him was that he had his mother's eyes.

It could explain why his FATHER HATED him so much. He never looked Ben in the eyes... always right through him, like he never could exist. Sure as hell didn't get love from his dad, maybe if his mom stuck around, but... who the hell knows. Crimson Countess, his once-upon-a-time fling, HATED his guts; while he claimed to have loved her, she spoke passionately of just how much she and his old team hated him.

He wanted it, sure. Sometimes he craved the shit out of it, searched it through all those so-called fans of his who would do ANYTHING for him... the amount of PUSSY he had gotten was unbelievable, but while these fans cried out how much they loved him, he knew it WASN'T REAL. He wasn't fucking blind. So, while he wanted love, he did everything he could to not have it... Soldier Boy really was a fucked up individual.

Then Michelle came into his life... and he doesn't know exactly how to explain it... doesn't want to be some cheesy bitch and say it's like a romantic movie ( not that he watched romantic movies ). He's around enough women to catch from time to time when they GUSHED over said romantic movies. But fuck, he's being a cheesy bitch and saying it IS LIKE A ROMANTIC FUCKING MOVIE.... his heart skipped a beat, for fucks sake. Their touch was electrifying; she grew on him, his Chelle. He could only really shrug, defeated for once in his life because he couldn't explain why her... she's a sweetheart, she accepted him, a heart made out of GOLD. She made him feel... as in feel... everything.

" Why do you stay after you've seen just how fucked up I can be ? See you... it's easy to let you in, don't fucking know why, you just have that..... that atmosphere around you. If you were any other woman, I'd say something inappropriate because that's who I am ! But-- while yeah shit, you're a fine woman, SO FINE. And you tickle my nuts ! But you also do something to my heart, and when I hear your voice... I don't know. Peace greets me, and it's wholesome and new. I never had that. Never had an ounce of peace... or something as SWEET and wholesome as you. The world showed how much they didn't give a FUCK ABOUT ME.... my old man looked at me and saw me as a disappointment; hell, even my mom knew I would be a failure since she dipped before I learned to walk. I could continue, but I'm not here for a PITY PARTY. You want honestly ? I like having you around; you are the first person to keep me in check, which says a lot. "
