[leclercsainzz]

hello love x

i was wondering if you could potentially do one where the reader is an actress and is in the new hunger games movies and everyone ships her with tom but she’s also dating lando … could you make a love triangle situation with these two?? like maybe she hangs out with tom more than lando or something idk lol u can come up with anything (you can decide who the endgame is) sort of like a illicit affair or where maybe she is seeing tom and everyone is aware of it idk??? (at this point im just saying nonsense i think lol)

[dramarising-replacement]

There was this G1 dragon that had been on the AH for a couple weeks, and I was waffling hard on buying it.

I was caught in the eternal struggle of "PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!" and "YOUR LAIR SPACE THOOOO??" 

Part of what made the choice hard was its tert. It wasn't bad, it was workable, but it wasn't great. And since I'm saving and waiting for WC scrolls, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to spend the measly 100g on a dragon that had an OKAY tert.

Well, I went to go check on him one day and he was purchased. Okay, alright, whatever, my fault, can't be mad.

Until, that is, I go hunting in the AH for g1 dragons with the same primary color, and find the exact same boy... relisted...... for 4kg.

Uh, fuck you?

That dragon sat in the AH for at least 2 weeks and nobody bought it at 100g. You think you're gonna get 4kg for it???

Good luck with that.

MASTERLIST

Part two

“It’s suits you.” “What does?” “Fatherhood.”

Characters: Steve x reader, Clint Barton, Laura Barton, smol child Barton

Summary: You knew what you were getting into when you married Steve Rogers. While spending time with Laura Barton, you become in tune with how badly you want children but long weeks spent apart and worried nights alone made it hard to do the things a normal married couple might do. Steve returns home from a mission, but is now the right time for ‘the’ conversation?

Warnings: A little angst, kinda suggestive at parts, cuteness at the end thoooo

Words: 2521

A/N:  So this cute little thing was based off of the prompt above that made my heart melt when I came up with it. If you guys want to send me requests based off of gif sets and stuff like that two please please don’t even hesitate, my requests are wiiiiiide open.

You and Laura Barton had gotten pretty close over the last few years. Since your marriage to Steve Rogers last fall, you’d found yourself spending more and more time together whenever the avengers were on a mission. 

‘Girls night’ was sacred between the two of you. It was a time in which neither one of you could stand being without your husband, so you got together instead. Laura had her children to keep her busy at least, but you on the other hand, had an empty house to go back to whenever Steve was out saving the world for days, sometimes even weeks on end.

You would wait patiently by the phone during the hours after the Avengers’ departure for two calls; a brief one from Steve telling you the quinjet had landed safely, and one from Laura arranging your one of many nights at her house while the men were away.

Both calls came soon after. You wished Steve luck, told him to stay safe and come home in one piece, as you always did when you tried to mask your heartache. You exchanged an ‘I love you’ with each other and that was the end of the one guaranteed phone call you got from him. 

Laura’s call was much more lighthearted, and you quickly arranged for several meetings over the next few weeks, even though each of you hoped that your husbands came back before then.

It had been about two weeks when you came over to Laura’s for the fourth time, sick with worry after having no correspondence with Steve since his first phone call. It wasn’t unusual for this to happen. Sometimes as much as he wanted to, he couldn’t call because he knew that there was a chance of that call being traced by the enemy back to his location or worse; back to yours. And you knew he would never risk putting the team or you in danger like that.

But still, you would lie awake at night wondering where he was, if he was safe, if he was going to make it home okay. You missed him so terribly that you couldn’t even bare to sleep in your shared bed when his side was cold and empty, you opted to sleep on the couch in the living room instead.so 

And you told Laura all of this late one night after she’d put the kids to bed. You stared at the ring on your left hand, remembering when he’d first asked you to marry him. You knew what you were getting into when you said yes, you knew very well that it meant long stints of not seeing each other, it meant nights of worry... But it also meant getting to spend the rest of your life with the person you loved most in the world, and you knew that no matter how much Steve warned you prior, if given the chance to choose again, you would say yes every time.

“How do you do it?” You asked Laura.

“I don’t really,” She said, sitting across from you on the sofa as she poured herself a glass of wine, “I don’t let myself stew in it all, that’s when my mind goes crazy. The kids keep me busy most of the time, so if we’re going to credit it anyone; it’s them.”

Children 

Your heart broke at the thought of them. You knew that there wasn’t room in yours and Steve’s life for them right now, not with him away so much, but you couldn’t help but want them. Babies were what happened when married people loved each other so much that they needed to make another person just to share that love with, that’s what you’d always believed. You were ready for that step, but the manner in which you and Steve operated was no grounds for children.

You’d find yourself day dreaming about raising a family with Steve at almost every spare moment of the day when you weren’t caught up with grief over his absence. 

Laura must’ve seen your vacant stare and known what you were thinking of.

“You know, you could just talk to him about it.” She said, snapping you back into reality.

“I wish it were that simple,” You sighed, “He’s away so much, Laura.”

“So is Clint, but you learn how to make it work.” She reached out for your glass, pouring you another few ounces of red.

“I don’t think it’s what either of us want. What you do is amazing but if Steve and I are going to start a family, he needs to be there. I can’t do it by myself.” You smiled sadly at her and she nodded her head in understanding.

A sharp cry interrupted your conversation, baby Nathaniel must have awoken. Laura got up, but you stopped her.

“You do this all day, I’ll get it.”

She smiled brightly at you and thanked you as you made your way up the stairs and into Nathaniel’s room, standing over his crib for a moment.

The infant was squirming around, clearly very unhappy with being woken from his sleep. You picked him up, making sure to support his head and cradled him in your arms, rocking him gently.

“Shh,” You soothed, “Waking up is the worst of it all, but you’re through that now.” You pressed a kiss to his forehead as his cries slowly faded into nothing. The baby stared at you with wide eyes as he reached out with his tiny hand to grab a piece of your hair that had fallen from behind your ear.

“See? Not so bad, is it?” You asked him.

A loud rustle of trees outside of the window made you glance out the glass. Clutching Nathaniel tight against your chest, you bent lower to get a look at what the noise came from. Your heart nearly stopped when you saw the quinjet landing in the field behind Laura’s house.

“(Y/N)!” Laura called, but you were already on your way down the stairs still holding the baby.

When you reached the bottom you looked at Laura and asked her, “What are they doing back?”

“Clint called me telling me he’d be home in the next few minutes while you were upstairs, typical him calling me so last minute- Oh! I told him to bring Steve.”

Your heart fluttered at the mention of his name. Your husband had finally returned home and you couldn’t be more excited.

“Laura!” You heart Clint call out from outside as the sound of the quinjet taking off again made the trees rustle loudly in the night outside.

Laura ushered you out of her front door and into the summer air outside, still holding Nathaniel close. 

“Here, I’m sure Clint wants to see him.” You said, passing the baby off to Laura, who smiled widely at you before walking down the steps of the porch.

As the jet took off into the sky, your eyes landed on Steve. Still in his stealth suit and carrying a small bag with him, he and Clint were talking and laughing about something until they heard yours and Laura’s footsteps approach.

Laura made her way over to Clint, handing him Nathaniel, whereas you stood still, unable to move as you stared at your husband. He dropped the bag he was carrying on his shoulder and sighed as he gazed at you, completely at a loss for words at how beautiful you looked.

“(Y/N).” He breathed out.

Your name passing his lips was like music to your ears, you couldn’t believe you’d survived so long without hearing his voice.

You smiled so wide that you were sure your cheeks would hurt the next day as you ran at him. He opened his arms and allowed you to jump into them, holding you up by the waist as you embraced him tightly, kissing any part of his face that you could get at.

He laughed and set you down, tilting your chin up and pressing a long awaited kiss onto your lips. Your head spun at the contact, you’d missed his lips against yours.

“You’re home.” You said when he pulled away.

“I’m home.” He said and kissed you again, wrapping his arms securely around your waist to keep you impossibly close to him.

“We’re going back in for some more wine! You two are welcome to come back in when you’re... done.” Clint hollered as her and Laura walked back in to their house.

“I love you.” You whispered to him as he pinned his forehead against yours. 

“I love you too.”

You took his hand a pulled him back into the house against his protests.

“C’mon, (Y/N)! Can’t we just head back home?”

“I’m going to stay with Laura for a bit more. Plus I never see Clint anyways, it might be a good time for the four of us to spend time together.”

“I just spent two weeks with Barton, I don’t need anymore, trust me. And besides, I have a few other things in mind that can keep us busy.” You felt a swat at your ass and you turned back around with a disapproving look.

“Keep it in your pants for a few more hours and we can do whatever you want.”

His eyes widened and a devilish smirk crossed his lips, but your focus was shifted elsewhere as you walked back up the stairs of the porch and into the house again.

“Rogers, I got some clothes you can borrow.” Clint tossed some sweats and a t shirt at Steve who caught them with one hand as he thanked him.

Laura woke the other kids up, who were overjoyed to see their father home again. You felt your heart wrench again at the sight, so when Nathaniel began to fuss, you offered to put him to sleep.

“You guys have your hands full, I can handle the little one.” You said, scooping him back into your arms and letting Clint catch up with his kids again. 

You felt tears prickle against your waterline but you blinked them away furiously as you walked up the stairs and back into Nathaniel’s room.

You placed him back in his crib and zipped up his sleeper, making sure everything was in order as you watched over him as his eyes blinked slowly until he fell asleep.

You felt a tear run down your face, you wiped it away as you heard footsteps behind you, footsteps that you instantly recognized as Steve’s.

You felt his hands rub up your arms that were crossed over your chest and you keened at his touch, leaning into his front with your head on his shoulder. He had changed out of his suit and into the t shirt and sweats, he beamed with a much more comfortable presence than before. He kissed your temple and cheek and you hummed.

“I missed you.” You sighed.

“You have no idea.” He said, wrapping his arms around you in a hug from behind. 

You looked down at the baby again, wondering if Steve was going to pick up on anything that you were feeling. You hoped to God he didn’t.

“He’s so small.” Steve remarked.

“Yeah.” You said, trying to keep your voice steady.

As if on cue, Nate woke up again and started to cry. You reached down to pick up up, but Steve stopped you.

“I can do it.” He said.

You watched in awe as Steve let go of you and picked up the baby in his arms, gingerly rocking him back and forth in an attempt to stop him from crying. When this didn’t work, Steve held him upright.

“Not in the mood to sleep, huh?” Steve asked the child whose cries had now calmed as he stared at Steve’s face.

“That’s alright, kiddo.” He tapped Nathaniel’s nose, “I won’t tell anyone if you’re awake for a little while longer.”

You couldn’t tear your eyes away from the scene in front of you nor could you stop yourself from imagining Steve with a baby of your own. 

You wanted to surprise Steve with the news of you being pregnant and go about telling all of the avengers. You wanted to shop for cribs and blankets and little tiny ‘my daddy’s an avenger’ onesies. You wanted to paint the baby’s room with Steve. You wanted to feel the baby kick for the first time and wake him up in the middle of the night just to feel it. You wanted to cry when you saw Steve holding the baby for the first time. You wanted to bring the baby home from the first time and know in your heart that your life would change forever.

It seemed that Nathaniel had changed his mind about stay awake, so Steve set him back in the crib and stroked his cheek gently to make sure he was comfortable.

You looked down at the floor, unable to look at him anymore. Your wedding ring caught a glint of the beams shining from Nathaniel’s nightlight. The band seemed to weigh heavier at this moment.

“It suits you.” You choked out.

“What does?” Steve asked, still marveling at the baby.

“Fatherhood.” 

He turned back to you with a frown on his face, knowing the sound of your voice when you were about to cry.

“I wanted to talk to you about that actually.” He said, reaching his hand out to hold yours.

“Please, Steve I can’t hear this, not now.” You said, looking up at the ceiling to avoid spilling tears down your cheeks.

“(Y/N), I’ve been thinking a lot about it-”

“Steve, don’t.”

“-And I talked to the team about some things-”

“-I know what you’re going to say already, please I don’t think that I can handle hearing it.”

“-Raising a baby takes a lot of time, darlin’, and I know how much you want one but I’m always on missions-”

“Steve for the love of God.”

“-So I’m gonna take a backseat for a while with the team so we can try.”

You stopped trying to shut him up and stared at him, mouth hung open.

“Wh-what?” You asked.

“I’ll do more paperwork, be more of an adviser than a field agent. I want this just as bad as you do.”

You couldn’t stop your tears now, each one flowing freely down your face.

“I can’t ask you to do that.” You said.

“Then I guess it’s a good thing you’re not asking.” He laughed.

“Oh, Steve.” You cried, a hand flying over your mouth.

He pulled you into his arms tightly as you cried.

“Thank you.” You said into his chest, completely overwhelmed by the news.

He smiled and kissed your hair gently, “Of course.”

He swayed you back and forth to the beat of music that didn’t exist in the room, but you swooned just the same. The man you loved most was giving up a part of his life to start a family with you, and you knew in your heart that Steve Rogers was the best husband, and he was going to make an even better father.

Mornings Without Good Coffee

originally based off this (but really i veered off course) jungkook x reader genre: fluff + not-a-morning-person/rich asshole!jeon word count: 2799 warnings: none, but the fluff thoooo, im disgusted by myself

Jungkook knows that when his marimba alarm rings in the AM, he has to get up. He can’t revel in the silk of his bed after a week of late nights that have succeeded in draining his energy to a lowly poor amount, and he most certainly can’t take his goddamn time with getting up. He’s given his personal assistant the week off (something about his father being sick) so no wake up call, no suit ready and waiting on his hangar, no hand-crushed coffee beans in his coffee. This means, not only does he have to make his own fucking coffee, he has to pick out his own goddamn suit, and his own goddamn cufflinks, and this is so goddamn stupid. Though Jungkook can’t quite remember the last time he put his cufflinks on by himself, he’s sure that it can’t be that difficult. He’s wrong. Terribly wrong. At least he managed to pack for himself. At least he knows how to drive to the airport. And if he can’t drive, then he’s sure he can get a helicopter to pick him up from the house.

The coffee tastes horrible, he tried to crush his own coffee beans, but when they fell into a mess all over the floor, some pieces crushed like pecans and others smashed into fine dust that looked like cumin powder, he gave up.

The black BMW he drives waits for him outside, the setting moon before the dawn shining on it’s perfect surface. He looks at the immaculate paint job and smiles. At least something is going right this morning, other than his really fucking impeccable alarm. On the way to Incheon, he picks up a espresso from a fast-food restaurant. It tastes like shit also to his freshly-grounded-coffee beans taste buds.

When Jungkook walks into Incheon Airport on Monday morning (actually it’s not so much morning as it is really fucking late night, at least for Jungkook) at 3:10 AM, he expects it to be empty, at least of all those perky vacationers, who usually leave on Fridays. He expects it to be quiet, only the low hum of the conveyor belt and maybe the occasional rumble of a half-empty airplane taking off overhead. He expects it to be peaceful, only a cup of black coffee, a no sugar, no cream americano to be exact, in his hands and a black Tumi bag that he can store carry-on.

His shoes, freshly polished, scuff against the floor, and he’s missing a cuff link to his new suit. Without an assistant this morning, he’s falling apart, from the seams of his jacket to the tie that doesn’t match or suit the business meeting that he’s supposed to be attending. Jungkook scowls.

He gets in line to get his boarding pass (the electronic machines don’t make much sense, and what’s the use in that when there are people for a reason to help a person) behind a woman. She also carries a black Tumi bag, and in her black pumps and pencil skirt, she looks like she is leaving town for a business meeting.

But then she opens her mouth. “Hi, I’m going to Busan,” she says. And yes, if Jungkook were a romantic he would describe her voice as a fairy’s, not unlike his best friend Jimin’s, all tinkling bells that don’t fail to light up the air around her and lullabies that seem to reflect all the moonlight keeping the world awake at night. But Jungkook’s not a romantic, so he doesn’t think that (yes, he does), and her cheerful voice, just like every other cheerful, perky-ass voice, sets his teeth on edge. It doesn’t help that he’s going to Busan too, and it’s quite likely that he will be on the same flight as her. He mumbles an excuse me, pushing past her to get to the other kiosk, where another official dressed in blue and white airplane color awaits him.

And the girl turns, opens her mouth to say sorry, most likely, but then stops. She probably sees the expression of ultimate distress and distrust and disgust on his face because her mouth arranges itself into a scowl and she frowns. Jungkook wishes she would stop because, unfortunately for his sanity, pretty girls with frowns make up some of the parts of his brain that file away most annoying people in the world.

But instead of the probably insincere, habitual sorry that Jungkook expects, she spits, “Yes, excuse you.” Jungkook has enough to control to prevent his face from turning red, but he knows the tips of ring-clad ears are burning like hell. Her face is pretty, and he wants to reach out to touch the tips of her hair that looks too soft to be real. Her eyelashes are long and they dust across her cheekbones with every blink of eyes that Jungkook is sure belong with stars. He wishes he had enough courage to stay around and talk, but his body betrays him and he spins on his heel to talk to the noticeably male flight attendant.

After attaining his boarding pass, Jungkook walks through the long halls corridors of the airport. The intercom calls for flights 712, 713, and 256, in its staticy female voice, the epitome of computerized feeling.

His gate enters his field of vision, but he stops to get another cup of coffee that will keep away the sleep, like a ward against evil. He almost chokes on the tasteless nastiness of the black bitter coffee. Yes, Jungkook has resigned himself to this type of coffee, but he doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to it, no matter how many times he tells himself he needs it. But he doesn’t and as a night owl by nature, he’s sure coffee doesn’t help him any. He sips away, already used to the horrid taste, like a first-time smoker gets used to his cigarette.

He gives his boarding pass to the attendee who stands patiently waiting. She’s taken aback by Jungkook’s hostile expression, but Jungkook’s knows this look by now, in fact he’s intimately familiar with it.

“Sir,” she says, pointedly staring at the cup of coffee in his hands. “You’ll have to throw that away.”

“Why?” he asks her, as nice as is possible for him right now, but it still comes off as mean.

“We do not allow food or drink on domestic flights, sir,” she patiently says.

“And when did you change the policies?” Jungkook inquires.

“I do not know, sir, I believe this has always been our policy.”

Jungkook doesn’t look away from the woman as he throws away the cup in the trash that stands next to her.

Jungkook walks into the plane, with his Tumi bag, and his black shoes, and his tailored jacket, in a huff.

His seat is annoying too, the pillow and the blanket that are usually customary in flights this early in the morning are both missing, and Jungkook wants to sleep. He wishes he didn’t get the coffee because he can feel the jitters buzzing through his veins, his brain struggling to find fatigue and finding none. He slumps in his seat, wishing for the business class ticket he usually gets.

He’s finally staring contentedly outside the window, when she walks towards him. She doesn’t carry anything but a small brown leather backpack, and a phone, into which she is speaking rapid-fire Korean. The Tumi bag is gone, obviously checked in. He stares at the graceful curve of her neck (it’s actually a bit like a swan’s, but, you know, without the white feather down) for a few seconds, watching the pulse flutter at the top of her collarbone, and she flushes when she catches his unrelenting staring.

The phone clicks off, and she takes out what is obviously her airplane ticket from the brown leather bag, forehead creasing. Jungkook tries not to think about the fact that she looks incredibly cute, the skin between her eyebrows furrowing, and bright eyes squinting so that he can’t see what color they are anymore.

“So,” she says, annoyed, and though Jungkook does wonder what has piqued her annoyance, he is more curious about her herself. Her eyebrow raises. “You seem to have taken my seat.”

“No.” Jungkook is bristling, because who does she think she is. He pulls out his own ticket from his wallet in his back pocket. “I do not believe I have. You see my ticket here, says 9...” Jungkook trails off.

There is silence as she waits for him to continue.

“Does it say A or B?” she inquires, that note of patient annoyance in her voice. Really Jungkook thinks it is condescension.

“B. I suppose I read it wrong,” Jungkook says, the apology in his voice noticeably missing. He gets up into the aisle, leaning into her as he does so. She steps back.

Jungkook tries to get more comfortable again (but comfort obviously doesn’t exist in economy), but he finds himself staring at her, her profile much more interesting than the small window on her right. She reads a SkyMall magazine, and Jungkook finds himself much more entranced than he would like.

The plane rumbles as it takes off, the vibrations making Jungkook sick, he’s always hated the sound and the stale air of the plane. But quickly he finds himself falling asleep with headphones in his ears and the sweet sound of Dean melting honey upon his eardrums.

When Jungkook wakes up, he smells mango and mint, a fruit cocktail in the air, and he’s swallowing hair, the strands stuck in his mouth and in his nose. It’s not bad precisely, the luscious locks smooth and silky, but there is a weight on his chest that he can’t say was there before, a weight that’s actually quite nice, Jungkook smiles. Maybe the morning never fucking happened and it was all a nightmare. Yes, nightmares tend to be actually scary, not incredibly boring, but who knows.

He opens his eyes, the blurry lines of the airplane coming into sharp awareness, and Jungkook becomes painfully aware of the vibration of the airplane, he can tell from a quick glance at the window that they are still in the air. And another quick glance tells him that it’s–

Her. She’s sleeping on his chest, little wisps of hair blowing out of her space with every breath, light snores that sound like a lullaby Jungkook could fall asleep to, her sweet face unmarred by annoyed scowls. If he thought she was pretty before, with her glares of dislike, she’s beautiful now, all peaceful and still and so, so relaxed. He can’t deny that he’s attracted to her. He lets her sleep, lets her stay lost in the land of dreams, in the land of beauty and horrors. Really though, it’s for his own benefit, he could stay here smelling the orange and green scent of her hair forever, letting it wash over him like a tidal wave, too much and altogether too little, the waves pulling him under and over; he’s unable to stop himself from falling into the chasm of her, though he knows little about her, not even able to let the sweet taste of her name grace his lips. Though only this morning he hated her and all the cheeriness she represented. He’s been pulled so deep that he lets her pull him into dreamland with her, and his breath slows and deepens.

She’s staring at him: he can tell from the prickling feeling of his face, the piercing of her eyes, noticeable even with his own eyes closed. Jungkook’s mind wants to leap to conclusions (What if they have a connection?), but he forces himself to stop.

“I can feel your glare,” he smirks and opens his eyes. “I don’t think I’ve ever been hated so intensely by someone I don’t know.”

She blushes, the pretty pink shading her face like a painting, and Jungkook’s hand itches to touch her pink cheeks, or maybe draw it. He would do it in pastels, wine, and sunset, and rose gray.

“I’m sorry.” Then to Jungkook’s extreme disappointment, she turns and looks outside the window. But Jungkook can’t help himself from teasing her.

“So,” he drawls, “Did you sleep well?”

“Fine,” she mutters.

“Yes,” he announces, “I’m sure my chest was incredibly comfortable.”

And she blushes again, but this time his mind jumps to white sheets and long nights and her coral cheeks against his silk duvet.

“I’m sorry about that, too,” she says.

“Don’t be.” She swallows at his words and turns to look at Busan; from the air, the sea-city is beautiful, but the plane circles the city for the third time now, and Jungkook knows it can’t be that interesting. He keeps hoping for her to turn and look at him, with those eyes as deep as oceans, just as full of emotion, ever changing, ever beautiful. Maybe she’ll talk to him. And maybe she won’t. But maybe she’ll say–

“Hey.” There is an apologetic look on her face, all wide eyes and downturned puckered mouth that Jungkook wants to kiss. He wonders if tastes like the strawberries it looks like. He wonders if he will be given a chance to smooth the remorseful look that shadows her face. “I’m sorry. About earlier I mean. I just– I was really stressed, and I’m not a morning person, and I’m incredibly sorry.”

Jungkook can’t help the grin that stretches his mouth, her pout is just so cute, and so fucking adorable. He doesn’t know what has made him take a complete 360, but the girl is cute, so why the hell not forgive her.

“It’s okay. I can’t deny it, I was a bit of an ass, too.”

Her eyes of galaxies widen, “A bit?” she choruses, in a tone that tells him she thinks his assholery was much more than a bit.

“You know, a smidgen.”

“Definitely more than a smidgen.”

“You think?” he asks, and the grin has definitely been permanently etched onto his face. He doesn’t ever want to stop grinning like this, so wide it hurts. Probably a bit belatedly, he wonders if there is anything on his teeth. But that thought stays in the recesses of his mind because he realizes she is grinning just as wide at him, pearly whites stark against the natural red of her lips, the angles of her face beautiful and elegant. Jungkook can feel his heart fluttering a bit, as she leans into whisper into his ear.

“I think so, yeah,” she says, lips brushing against the cuff his ear. Maybe it’s just him that feels the electricity of their proximity. Maybe it’s the both of them, but either way Jungkook finds himself, in this two-sentence conversation that they’ve just, that he likes her.

“So,” Jungkook smiles, taking a chance here, heart in his throat, pounding and fluttering so much that he can barely hear his voice. He only stares at stars that make up her eyes, at the soft curves of her face, and then he continues, “Maybe I can make it up to you by buying you breakfast when we get to Busan?”

He can see her hesitance, just by the way her eyes close, the waves of emotion in her eyes unavailable to him.

“There’s a beautiful cafe on the beach,” he cajoles. He knows that the way his eyes widen and his bunny teeth stick out that no one can resist. He doesn’t prove to be wrong.

She blinks and smiles. “Okay,” she agrees.

“I’m Jungkook, by the way,” he remembers.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been asked on a date before I got a name.”

His mouth tries to smile, before he realizes he’s smiling as wide as he can. “Was I going to get a name?” he asks. “I don’t think I’ve ever been on a date before without getting a name first.”

“Well, unfortunately,” she is smiling too, and Jungkook wants to see that smile as they walk on the beach, wants to remember it as he sits to the droning of people at his business meetings, wants kiss it when he gets home. “I don’t think that today is the day. I’m Y/N.”

He laughs as the plane lands in Busan; the captain’s speaking, but he cares about the way that she laughs back, the way it sounds like the tinkle of bells, the sound effect that seems to come with magic. And it is magic, when she speaks to him and his heart flutter like a giddy school girl’s. And Jungkook realizes, after breakfast, after he’s attained her number, that sometimes mornings on which you have to wake up at 3 AM without any good coffee aren’t all that bad.

september: week two

04: we got out of bed pretty late. we were exhausted from traveling so late yesterday. i did a bit of cleaning up and doing some household errands  / internet errands for myself. we ate chicken nuggets and potstickers for brunch and then went straight into playing overcooked. we beat the main game! the last level was pretty hard because you were only given a certain amount of time for different foods to make. then we played a bit of battleblock theater before meal planning and getting groceries from kam man; it was a quick trip. kevin played some overwatch after putting away the food and i continued doing things on my to-do list haha. then i did a hiit workout with my old mizunos i brought back -- they’re not cutting it LOL so i think i’ll bring them back home during thanksgiving for my mom to donate with the other shoes. i think for now, i am leaning towards working out in the yoga studio with my adidas. i’m still thinking about getting the white ones but when they’re on sale mayhaps. anyway, after exercising, i made rice and made the pico de gallo part of our makeshift chipotle burrito bowls. kevin made the chicken.

we ate our pretty healthy dinner while watching an episode of agents of shield and then we went into playing another co-op game. i think it’s called something force? i forget, but it’s more fighting-based. it took some time to hook it up so i talked with vivian for a bit and then once kevin figured it out, we got into the groove of the game. i actually did an abs workout as well today after. i put on the rest of ‘the break up’ on netflix and worked out while finishing the movie. it was too late for me to wash my hair so i just took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and headed into bed. i was struck with sleepiness during my shower haha. i think kevin showered soon after and went to sleep too. zzzz. it was 1 am though and we felt like it was 12 am (it would be the case if we were back in chicago).

05: i was so dehydrated when i woke up x_x i did 30 minutes of cardio and then kevin left for work and i ran some errands before working. i washed my hair today and i felt so cleeeaaan. then i went downstairs to drop off a package mistakenly put into the concierge locker under my name and also pick up my package from eggie!!! it was just a normal box but when i opened it, my black blazer was covered in an eggie bag, it was on a hanger, and there was a cute eggie zip bag in there that i can use to hold skincare or make up for flights! i can’t really tell what it looks like because i don’t have a full body mirror, but it looks and feels amazing! then i started doing laundry and used the new mesh bags i got on amazon to wash my sports bras, bras, and delicate shirts. after all of that, i hopped on a client call and then cleaned out my email and ordered another sports bra from aerie just in case i run out again...haha. i ate lunch while catching up on youtube videos and then went to work a bit on wireframes.

after stand up, i talked with phil about my wireframing and i basically have to make new ones, which frustrates me a bit because dave and phil didn’t really communicate what they wanted from me? or at least, when they decided to switch gears, i wasn’t involved in that conversation so all my wireframes are ‘not attached to real life situations’ right now. ugh. the good thing is that these wireframes are probably going to be easier to mock up. after the call, i folded laundry and then finished some errands and then did a bit of work on the wireframes. i want to double-check with dave as well before diving in so we’re all on the same page... i did some of the beginnings of the wireframes and then i took a break and worked out. i did thighs today and they burned like crazy. then i showered while the chicken and rice cooked. kevin got back later than i expected so i ended up nomming on my chicken and then ended up just eating dinner before he came back. we watched agents of shield and then i became pretty obsessed with finding what shoes kelsey wells, an instagram fitness star, wore. LOL. she had three pairs that i was super curious about and they were all adidas so that was a start. i ended up pinpointing that she has the black adidas adipure 360.3s, black ultra boosts, and black/turquoise pure boost x’s,

this gives me a lead on what shoes to get for training again. i also noticed she wears the shit out of her white edge lux shoes ;D this was what i was going to get if all else fails but i didn’t want to get the same shoe in a different color because i own the black/white ones. anyway, i really like the shock yellow pure boost x runners and the black / dark grey / sunglow pure boost x trainers. the adipure 360.3s would make more sense for me to get but i don’t just want a plain black sneaker ;( anyway, kevin and i also spent some time figuring out flights for holidays. i might get my family to come over for thanksgiving and then for christmas, fly out dec 18th to st. louis to hang with the chen fam and then fly back to chicago for christmas and new years. tickets for thanksgiving are so expensive thoooo. i’ll figure it out. with all the shoe research i did at night, i went to sleep later than i wanted to (12 am) but i still ko’d real quick.

06: i woke up at 7:15 am and then felt really awake but then slept for like 10 more minutes lol. i did a cardio kickboxing workout in the morning, showered, and then ate breakfast. i decided to wear my new eggie tuxedo blazer today; it blew in the wind like crazy but i felt so cool ahahha. there were severe delays on the red line coming from both ways -- cole messaged me in the morning and said he was basically stuck for like an hour on the train x_x; so i took my time in the morning but i still ended up taking an hour to get to work. i got to work before 10 am though :P i found out where the ups drop box is inside the building -- there’s a fedex one here too! then i did a bit more adidas shoe research and got to work. it felt like a pretty short day because we had a 1.5 hour meeting for all-hands. i finished up my wireframes for the day and did some internet errands before the meeting. it was an in person meeting so we all had to go upstairs to a conference room. we all hopped in an elevator and then met some people in the conference room. i didn’t know what was happening. i got to snack on some sweets before the meeting started. so by the time i post this, the news will be out, but my company, t7, has been acquired by genpact.

nothing is changing culture-wise and work-wise yet so i’m not sure what the effects are going to be on the company, but it seems like a symbiotic relationship and i hope this goes well! lol, it’s funny because i said i would probably never want to work under a huge corporation and now i am. x_x we’ll see how i’ll feel about this. the meeting went a bit over 5:30 but i stayed a bit and mingled until kevin got to south station. he waited for me so we would go home together <3 i told him the news and then we went back home. we chilled a bit too long before he cooked and i exercised. i did pretty intense oblique exercises because i feel like i haven’t been at my best recently and i feel blech all around -- eating and working out. i think it’s more of my stomach troubles though because my stomach has been hurting nonstop for a few weeks. anyway, i made sure i worked out my obliques real good but i was super hungry after and i ate a bigger portion of noodles than i should have...

needless to say, i went to sleep bloated ): ugh. i need to eat earlier too. man, i should take my own advice. lol. we ate at like 9:30 pm so that’s pretty late. we watched an episode of agents of shield and because we slacked off when we came back home, we couldn’t game together. i was exhausted and went to sleep at 12 am...because i was on my phone before sleeping lol. gg me.

07: man, i need to sleep earlier with at least 30 minutes of no electronics before sleeping... i woke up tired again x( i did a cardio sculpt routine in the morning and then showered and took forever to figure out what i was going to wear in the rainy/humid weather :/ then i ate breakfast and waited for the train for like 10 minutes :/ womp womp. my train slowly moved and then stopped and told everyone to get off at jfk/umass so we waited for the next train. i got to work an hour late again but when i got in, no one was in the product office...lol. i talked to cole for a bit before going to the new members brunch for wework. we got free french toast <3 we ate and talked for a bit and then headed downstairs to get back to work. i made a few changes to the wireframes and then decided that i would leave work probably after the 2 hour training session phil and i had at 1 pm. my stomach was not feeling ok though. i decided to leave during lunch time because my stomach was feeling pretty bad. i got home and just had calls for the rest of the afternoon. after work, i did a weighted booty workout and then i showered and relaxed. kevin got back home from climbing and we ate leftovers while watching an episode of agents of shield and we got to play a bit of battleblock theater before kevin washed the dishes and cooked lunch for tomorrow. lol i ko’d on the bed while waiting for 12 am to arrive so i could wish vivian a happy birthday <3 i woke up at like 11:50 pm and then brushed and got into bed, typed up a message, sent it, and then stayed up on my phone until 1 am LOLLLL. -__-” i was so close to sleeping early and healthily T_T

08: i slept in today and got up when kevin did. then i ate breakfast before i did a strength workout in the morning. i’m going to focus on strength stuff moving forward and cut down my cardio. i need to change up my schedule a bit. after, i showered, and then got on a call with phil and a client. i picked up my aerie package and saw that they sent me the wrong shirt :( so i live chatted customer service and they were pretty much useless... so then i decided to call. i also found out that my zappos returns was just sent to me as store credit -_- so i had to email customer service on that. blech. today i feel a bit unfulfilled. i got on stand up after eating lunch. i recorded a video tutorial before the end of the work day and then went straight into another strength workout. i think i worked on back and arms. kevin came back early and we played some coop games before eating dinner and watching agents of shield. i was expecting us to sleep early but we didn’t lololol. we gamed after dinner as well and yeah, it didn’t feel like we were going to be moving tomorrow. i think we slept somewhat late but planned to get up early tomorrow... well, at least i did LOL. oh, the ae rep i called was super helpful and let me keep the wrong shirt, gave me a refund, and ordered the correct one at the price i bought it for previously! he was great. i also got my zappos return back on my credit card. woot! yup, lots of things happening.

09: kevin got out of bed at like 11 am. i thought we were supposed to wake up early today :P haha. we ate breakfast and then signed our lease and then we got a cart and started moving. it was sort of a moving blur today. lol i kept thinking about when i was going to eat next haahah. we moved all the entryway stuff, then clothes, and then to actual furniture. we didn’t want to deal with the bed in the morning so we left that for last. we used all of our suitcases in storage to move everything and some plastic bins as well. you’d think it’d be easy to move down a couple hallways but it was still a struggle. the cart we had kept veering off to the left too. ahha. well, we moved from 12 pm or so until 6 or 7 pm. we left the cart outside of our apartment just because it didn’t seem right to keep it inside. we ordered takeout fro kkatie’s burgers and i got a veggie black bean burger again because i need that fiber. i also got green fries, which turned out to be green beans ahah. kevin got the hawaiian burger with curly fries. we put away things that we could. while we moved, kevin and i noticed things that might be a problem. for example, there is no built-in spice rack anymore and i realized that our kitchen cabinet space was cut by about half because the kitchen only takes up one wall...

so little things here and there were noticed but the windows and light coming into the apartment soothed my worries haha. we drove to get the food and then kevin popped in oh my tea to get us some boba too. we ate at home while watching agents of shield and then once we digested and everything, we opened the door only to find that the cart was gone. .___. kevin looked on all the floors to check if there were any anywhere. there are 3 carts in the building for use: two smaller, shorter ones and one tall one where you can hang stuff on. we had the tall one. this meant that we couldn’t move our mattress and bed frame. this meant we would have to carry all the cups and pantry stuff in boxes. by this time, our arms and backs were tired. so then we did some organization in the new apartment. then we both went to look for a cart a couple more times. we even reached on out the facebook group -- we had a lead but nadda. this means that someone in the apartment flippin’ took it inside their apartment and didn’t bother to put it back in an common area. -__-”

kevin was tired so he relaxed on his computer for a bit after he set it up. we set up the den area with our computers and stuff, which was nice :) we also picked out a kitchen shelf for our pots and pans and pantry items / stuff we couldn’t fit into our cabinets. then i went back to the old apartment and started cleaning the crap out of the kitchen and bathroom. kevin came by to help vacuum and swiffer later. after that, we just chilled on the sofa in the new apartment. we checked one last time to see if any of the three carts were returned but nope. so we went and got our sleeping clothes from the old apartment, showered in the new apartment, and then went back to the old apartment to sleep. yup. great. lol. we did ko super quickly though. i think we went to sleep at 1 or 2 am. moving is tiring even if you’re in the same apartment complex x__x;

10: kevin actually woke up at 9:30 am :O we had to walk over to the new apartment from the old one (where we slept) and then get ready for the day. we pretty much skipped breakfast and then drove to target to pick up the kitchen shelf. i got benefiber and kevin got glazed apple fritters because he got hungry. we waited a bit for them to bring the shelf up and we also looked at other furniture and found a nice ottomon we liked :) it was cheaper online so we decided to get it there. we got everything and then went back to the apartment. the office didn’t open until 12 pm so kevin built the shelf while i went back to the old apartment and brought all the fridge stuff and leftover pantry stuff over. i was cleaning like crazy and walking back and forth a lot and my body kind of freaked out. my hands were red and started shaking so i ate some food and rested a bit. then we finally got a cart and i went back to the old apartment to clean the fridge -- it was dirty af. kevin helped me and then i finished cleaning the apartment in its entirety after that. :D

we also moved the dresser and all the artwork. moving the mattress tested my frustrations LOL. -__-’ it was a floppy queen sized mess but we made it! kevin had to take the head board of the bed frame off and then we moved the light headboard and then moved the big af bed frame. it was so heavy x_O we got it and then celebrated a bit. we fixed up our room and then went to vacuum the old apartment once more and said goodbye to it :( then we dropped off our keys and laid on the bed for a bit to rest. then we drove to ikea! ikea is only a 10 - 15 min drive from us! it looked like an amusement park when we drove in. there were a lot of flags. i noticed that kevin was just overwhelmed by everything and asked if it was his first time in a physical ikea LOL. it was his first time as an adult in an ikea :OOOOO we went straight to the restaurant and i got the vegetable meatballs and an almond brittle cake and apple pie slice, kevin got the swedish meatballs and cheese pie, and we split a plate of chicken and waffles. all of this was only $26!!! i got the lingonberry fountain drink and it was so refreshing. the vegetable meatballs were kinda meh because of the artichokes in the sauce x( i’m always going to get the swedish meatballs from now on.

after eating, i guided kevin through the showroom and taught him how everything worked. we actually got everything we needed...and more... kevin was addicted to getting stuff and we had to kind of run through the last sections of ikea because he was scared he was going to buy more things LOL. we got a dining table, 6-drawer chest, and a large mirror and sent that for home delivery because those things were loooonggg. we also got 2 really pretty serving dishes, jars, drawer organizers for the kitchen and clothes, baskets for the kitchen shelf, and some orange marmalade. after shopping, i got us an ice cream cone, hot dog, and cinnamon roll for only $2.75. i love ikea. we’ll be back! we still need dining room chairs so yeah... we got home, cleaned the apartment and put things away the best we could. there was a foul fishy stench coming from where we stored the potatoes and the dish washer so i thought the former tenants didn’t clean the dish washer properly because there was gunk on the sides... we cloroxed it and then ran a cycle with vinegar but even after, it still stank. we pulled out the potatoes and found a rotten black ass potato and i asked kevin to sniff it and he’s basically traumatized now LOOOL. it was the rotten potato... i didn’t know that potatoes could smell like that???

well, i watched youtube videos for a while, kevin gamed, and then i showered and noticed that the water kept draining slowly... ugh. then i watched more videos until kevin showered and we called it a night. it was like 2 something am when we went to sleep. i was definitely going to wfh. both of us are exhausted from moving this weekend... we are ded. our apartment is looking really nice though <333
