summary: miles’ parents finally agreed to letting the two of you have a sleepover, on one condition. however, miles was never the best at following directions. wc: 1,630

New york. The city that never sleeps.

The faint murmuring of bustling cars and the habitual honking of horns seeped through the tight seal of the shut apartment window; ironic in the way it somehow lulled you. An imperfect melody you welcomed—also the same one deemed a nuisance by those foreign to the chaos that naturally assimilated to comfort the longer you remained in Brooklyn. It usually helped you slip into a slumber with ease—but now— was succeeding in its attempt of doing the exact opposite.

And when you heard Miles expel a weighted, disgruntled sigh; you were led to believe the two of you had more in common with each other apart from the fact that you both lived here.

After weeks and weeks of begging, and endless explanations as to why exactly he needed his girlfriend to sleep over when they wouldn’t even get to utilize the time spent together because they were supposed to be asleep, Miles had finally convinced his mom and dad to let the two of you have a sleepover.

Fun, right?

Yeah, well you thought it’d be. Until his mom insisted the two of you bring your pillows and blankets and fantasies of your life as a matured couple to the living room and sleep out there. Six feet away from each other. You guys were practically social distancing like it was 2019 all over again.

The curt reasoning she offered included something about her not wanting the two of you in his room alone at night; not that she thought her son would actually be dumb enough to do anything along those lines with her in the house. You loved Mama Rio, but even if you didn’t, it wouldn’t matter. This was her house, and that meant you had to follow her rules. The fact that you were even able to come over as much as you did was a blessing in itself, so you took everything else in stride.

Miles let you take the couch of course, and he was currently sprawled out on his back on the floor, a pillow tucked beneath his head as he studied the minuscule cracks in the ceiling as if they truly interested him. Scrolling through his instagram timeline had gotten old fairly quickly, and at 1:00AM in the morning, neither of you were really motivated enough for conversation.

You were more than grateful to spend a night with your boyfriend, but this wasn’t necessarily how you expected it to go. Whenever you guys would hang out during normal hours of the day, you’d always end up in his embrace, curled and cuddled into each other comfortably. Whatever movie or tv-show you’d put on in the background begging for the same attention you’d give each other. After growing used to such a routine, that was really the only way you could fall asleep at his house.

But alas, holding your pillow close to you instead of him would have to suffice, you decided, as you let your eyes close once again.

“Baby?” Miles called out into the darkness, lip chewed in anticipation.

Silence.

He’d said only a word but you knew better than to engage. A conversation would end up with the two of you in trouble in the morning, so you pretended to be asleep.

“I know you’re awake. I counted exactly three seconds between your last two breaths and when you’re asleep it slows down to five.”

You stifled a laugh, ultimately blowing your cover. “Okay, now that’s just creepy.”

“People who are asleep don’t laugh!” he quipped.

A smile snuck onto your lips and you hadn’t the heart to reprimand it, lids peeling back open to stare up at the same ceiling he was.

“Yes, Miles?”

“Can you not fall asleep either, or have I become an insomniac all of a sudden?” The question came with a sigh, long arms spread to their full wingspan as he tried to count how many full rotations the ceiling fan made in a minute. That was how bored he was.

You sighed disappointedly, toying with the frayed tassels on your blanket. A moue on your face. “No, I can’t fall asleep either.”

“I think I know why.” he sung the last word in suggestion, hands absentmindedly drumming against his abdomen.

“Miles,” you warned, letting your head fall to the side so you could stare at the top of his head and address him directly. “Your mom gave very specific instructions, and personally, I would like to return home to mine with my head still on my shoulders.” grumbling your response, you shoved down the urge to invite him up there with you like your mind was telling you to.

He propped himself up on an elbow at that, eyes immediately making contact with yours. Your first mistake was not looking away, because those pretty pools of hazel were already starting to convince you and he hadn’t even opened his mouth yet.

“But how is that fair?” he complained, sounding exasperated. “We take naps together all the time when you’re here, I just wanna cuddle with you.” he sulked, as if you were the one who’d come up with the rule. Never in a million years would you submit the both of you to this kind of torture. You loved falling asleep in his arms.

You rolled your eyes at him, “Well, yeah. But that’s during the day, when she can check on us anytime she wants to. I don’t think your mom wants us that close to each other at night for,” The last part of your sentence faded to a jumbled murmur as your gaze traveled back to the ceiling. “…obvious reasons.”

He impishly raised a brow as if he didn’t know what you were referring to, chin resting in the palm of his hand. With only the faded lights of the city to illuminate the living room, the cheeky smile on his face went unnoticed, though you could hear it in the tone of his voice, loud and clear.

“And what reasons are those?” Miles asked, feigning innocence. His long lashes blinking at you.

Hand smacking to your forehead, you recited a silent prayer, a plea for strength. It was beginning to look like you weren’t going to get yourself out of this. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”

His hand gestured to the air, plainly. “Well obviously. But still, we’re not dumb. That’s why I always take you to the roof when we—“

“Miles Gonzalo Morales do not finish that sentence!”

He snorted at the squeak of your voice and you used your pillow to hide your heated face.

“This is not going to help us fall asleep.” your irritated statement was muffled from the fabric of the pillowcase.

He hummed. “Exactly, meaning there’s only one thing left to try.” Slow to catch on, you didn’t realize what he meant until you felt the couch dip from the weight of his knee.

A hand trickled up the exposed skin of your thigh and it stopped when it met your sleep-shorts clad hip, the pillow snatched from your face and tossed onto the floor where he previously resided just a second ago.

“What are you—?”

He hovered over you, one hand pressed into the cushion beside your waist to hold himself up. Your question fell short when he swiftly parted your legs with his other hand and comfortably slotted his body between your thighs. A relieved sigh escaped him, his cheek nuzzling into the soft of your chest when he laid on top of you. His favorite way to cuddle.

“Shhh, trying to sleep.” murmuring a dismissive answer to your query, he let his eyes flutter to a close and snaked his arms around your waist, forearms cradling the curve of your back.

Contrary to the fight you were putting up just a minute ago— your arm curled over the expanse of his shoulders, fingers idly twirling at the baby curls that dusted the nape of his neck, something you always did to help him fall asleep faster. He let out a low, satisfied sound and relaxed into you completely, his hold on you tightening. While a part of you wanted to protest, an even bigger part wanted to remain under him like this. His weight was comforting; made you feel secure in the way a weighted blanket did.

“Your mom is not going to be happy with us.” you reminded him, stretching your other arm down enough to grab your blanket and pull it up over the two of you.

“It’s worth it. I’ll happily take the blame,” he drawled sleepily, snuggling in closer to the kiss that grazed his forehead. “I love you…” The laggard pace to his words let you know he was already dozing off, and you smiled, fatigue finally catching up with you too.

“I love you, Miles.”

— extra scene

Jeff stood in silence, arms folded over his broad chest and lips puckered awkwardly. Rio occupied the space next to him, hands perched on her wide hips, fingers tapping against them and her jaw clenched in disapproval. Her expression was everything but amused at the scene in front of them. He stole a tactful glance at his wife every two seconds, silently trying to gauge how irritated she was without having to ask her.

Sometime during the night you and Miles had switched places, and now his lanky legs were draped over the arm of the small couch and you were on top of him, clung to his body like a wet T-shirt, face barely visible seeing as it was nestled into the crook of his neck. With his mouth hanging slack as he loftily snored, Rio felt her eye almost twitch while she stared down at her stubborn son, who seemed to have magically teleported from his assigned spot on the floor and into yours instead.

“Well, I coulda told’ya that would happen.” Jeff said quietly with a laid-back shrug, to which Rio responded with a back-handed swat to his chest.

“Ow!”

Through her aggravation she still kept her voice low as to not wake the two of you, eyes narrowed at her husband. “I am going to strangle this boy, Jeff. Dios ayudame. ¡Tu hijo nunca escucha! (God help me, your son never listens!)” she griped, gesturing towards Miles’ arm that was loosely circled around your waist. She tramped down the hall, hands tossed up in defeat while she grumbled something incoherent under her breath.

Lips downturned into an offended frown, Jeff coddled his chest with his palm and followed after her, voice kicked up an octave like a nagging child. “Why is he only my son when he does something you don’t like? We made him together!”

DEAD TO ME!

series masterlist

may 15, 2019

“are you serious paige, you want to reschedule again?” your face was contoured with confusion and irritation, your girlfriend had been putting you off for a couple weeks now.

“i’m sorry baby, i just been busy with basketball and shit” paige sighs, leaning back into the gym wall behind her.

“but i’ve been planning this for so long” you cross your arms, you were beyond fed up with the excuses paige gave you.

“and plus you know i move in a week, i wanna spend as much time as you.” you whined.

paige looks down at her phone, smiling at whatever was the screen.

everyone had her attention but you, and it hurt. you were obviously the last thing on her mind, you just didn’t understand it.

“i’m so sick of being your last priority!” your voice slightly raised, catching the few people around you attention.

paige scratches at the her neck awkwardly, looking up from her phone. “can you not yell? people are staring” she talks in a low tone.

“the fuck? so me yelling is what you care about right now?” your voice cracking, as tears begin to well up in your eyes. you quickly pack up your things.

“y/n- baby please” paige grabs at ur hand trying to stop you.

“no i’m done with you, fuck you paige.” you spat at her, your voice filled with anger and hurt. you snatch you hand away from her storming out of the gymnasium.

leaving her there to soak in what just happened.

august 6 2020

it’s been a year since you broken up with paige. you almost forget her, enjoying your “new” life in cali. but the way things ended wonders in your head, you cringe at it.

“hellooo, earth to y/n”

you were quickly snapped out of your thoughts as your best friend evelyn called out for you, swatting her hand in your face.

“did you even hear what i said” she sassed while passing you a box of your belongings.

“yes ev.” you sigh.

“jeez, no need for the sass” you roll your eyes as you walk her past her to the elevator.

it dings as the doors, a few seconds past waiting for it to get you the level your dorm was on.

as you leave the elevator, you walk to your room.

“ev where’s the room keys?” you watch the girl pat herself down, searching for them.

“shit! i left downstairs!” she yelp, she quickly rushed down to get them.

you put the last bit of clothes away in the mini dresser, you fall back onto your bed sighing from exhaustion.

“finally”

“i’m so glad we getting to share a dorm!” ev clapped, you smiled, it was so long since you had seen her. you felt a sense of peace knowing you guys were together again.

the dorm goes quiet for a while, leaving you in your thoughts again.

“you hungry?” you squint your eyes at ev.

“how’d you know?” the curly head girl looks almost as if your dumb. “im your best friend duhh! i know everything”

“okay weirdo”

“cmon!” she said grabbing her keys off the desk.

august 8 2020

it’s been two days since you’ve moved in, it was the first meeting of your cheer team. you nervous yet excited, hoping to make good friends.

one problem— you were lost, completely unaware of this new place. you try to look around searching for where dance room was.

“where the hell is it” you mumble to yourself. you flatten out the clothes you were wearing, trying to make you look less pathetic.

“yo, are you supposed to over here?” a kinda raspy voice spoke, it sounded familiar yet you couldn’t make out who.

“i’m not even sure, i’m looking for the dance room” you chuckled. “you apart of the cheer team or somethin?” the unknown person said.

“yeah, do you know where that is-” your eyes widened as you turn around, heart dropping at the tall figure in front of you. you were stunned, no words could come out of your mouth.

you were not prepared to see her.

“y/n?”

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #23

June 14-21 2024.

On the 12th anniversary of President Obama's DACA program President Biden announced a new pathway to legal status and eventual citizenship for Dreamers. DACA was an executive action by President Obama which deferred any deportation of persons brought to the US as children without legal status. While DACA allowed Dreamers to work legally in the US for the first time, it didn't give them permanent legal status. Now the Biden administration is streamlining the process for employers to apply for work Visas for Dreamers. With Visas Dreamers will for the first time have legal status, the ability to leave and reenter the US legally, and a pathway to a Green Card and eventual citizenship.

President Biden also announced protections for the undocumented spouses and children of US citizens. The new rule allows the spouse, or step-child of a US citizen to apply for lawful permanent residency without having to leaving the country. It's estimated this will help 500,000 undocumented people married to Americans, and 50,000 children under the age of 21 whose parent is married to an American citizen. Current law forces spouses to leave the United States if they're here illegally and wait and unclear period of probation before being allowed to return, but being allowed back is not assured.

The IRS announced that it'll close a tax loophole used by the ultra rich and corporations and believes it'll raise $50 billion in revenue. Known as a "pass-through" has allowed the rich to move money around to avoid taxes in a move the Treasury is calling a shell-game. Pass-throughs have grown by 70% between 2010 and 2019 and the IRS believes it helped the rich avoid paying $160 billion dollars in taxes during that time. The IRS estimates its crack down on these will raise $50 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years.

The EPA and Department of Energy announced $850 million to monitor, measure, quantify and reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Methane is the second most common greenhouse gas, responsible for 1/3rd of the global warming. The funding will focus on helping small operators significantly reduce emissions, as well as help more quickly detect and cap methane leaks from low-producing wells. All this comes after the EPA finalized rules to reduce methane emissions by 80% from oil and gas.

The Biden Administration took steps to protect the nations Old Growth Forests. The move will greatly restrict any logging against the 41 million acres of protected land owned by the federal government. The Administration also touted the 20% of America's forests that are in urban settings as parks and the $1.4 billion invested in their protection through the President’s Investing in America agenda.

The Biden Administration released new rules tying government support for clean energy to good paying jobs. If companies want to qualify for massive tax credits they'll have to offer higher wages and better conditions. This move will push union level wages across the green energy sector.

The Department of Education announced large reductions in student loan payments, and even a pause for some, starting in July. For millions of Americans enrolled in the Biden Administration's SAVE plan, starting in July, monthly payments on loans borrowed for undergraduate will be reduced from 10% to 5% of discretionary income. As the department hasn't been able to fully calculate the change for all borrowers at this point it will pause payment for those it hasn't finalized the formula for and they won't have to make a payment till DoE figures it out. The SAVE plan allows many borrowers to make payments as low as $0 a month toward having their loans forgiven. So far the Biden Administration has forgiven $5.5 billion wiping out the debt of 414,000 people enrolled in SAVE.

The Biden Administration celebrated the 1 Millionth pension protected under the American Rescue Plan. Senator Bob Casey joined Biden Administration officials and Union official to announce that thanks to the Butch Lewis Act passed in 2021 the government would be stepping in to secure the pensions of 103,000 Bakery and Confectionery Union workers which were facing a devastating 45% cut. This brings to 1 million the number of workers and retirees whose pensions have been secured by the Biden Administration, which has supported 83 different pension funds protecting them from an average of 37% cut.

The Department of Energy announced $900 million for the next generation of nuclear power. This investment in Gen III+ Small Modular Reactor will help bring about smaller and more flexible nuclear reactors with smaller footprints. Congress also passed a bill meant to streamline nuclear power and help push on to the 4th generation of reactors

Vice President Harris announced a $1.5 billion dollar aid package to Ukraine. $500 million will go toward repairing Ukraine's devastated energy sector which has been disrupted by Russian bombing. $324 million will go toward emergency energy infrastructure repair. $379 million in humanitarian assistance from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to help refugees and other people impacted by the war.

America pledged $315 million in new aid for Sudan. Sudan's on-going civil war has lead to nearly apocalyptic conditions in the country. Director of USAID, Samantha Power, warned that Sudan could quickly become the largest famine the world has seen since Ethiopia in the early 1980s when a million people died over 2 years. The US aid includes food and water aid as well as malnutrition screening and treatment for young children.

Bonus: Maryland Governor Wes Moore pardoned more than 175,000 people for marijuana convictions. This mirrors President Biden's pardoning of people convicted of federal marijuana charges in 2022 and December 2023. President Biden is not able to pardon people for state level crimes so called on Governors to copy his action and pardon people in their own state. Wes Moore, a Democrat, was elected in 2022 replacing Republican Larry Hogan.

Food is one of the most universally beloved things on planet Earth. Aligning a presidential campaign with it is smart for all the obvious reasons, but for the Harris-Walz ticket, it’s also a signal. The rhetorical challenge of progressivism is that it is by nature abstract: It imagines a world that does not yet exist, rather than advocating to return to some previous version of the one we know. [...] In foregrounding food, Harris and Walz are making theirs the candidacy of terrestrial pleasure and straightforward abundance.

The governor of Minnesota and possible future vice president’s hotdish recipe is, uh, a lot. It involves, among other things, whole milk, half-and-half, two types of meat, three cups of cheese (specifically Kraft), nearly a stick of butter, and a full package of Tater Tots. It is gluttonous, deeply midwestern, and, I am sure, delicious. Indeed, Walz won the Minnesota Congressional Delegation’s hotdish cook-off in 2013, 2014, and 2016.

Tim Walz loves food. He loves corn dogs, and the all-you-can-drink milk booth at the Minnesota state fair, and—I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this—dunking cinnamon rolls in chili. He gets excited about soda. He posts pictures of his sandwiches.  He loves to eat so much that people on X are already writing short-form fan fiction about it. Throughout his political career, but especially recently, he has gone out of his way to talk about food, the fattier and folksier the better. Last week, in a discussion with CNN’s Jake Tapper that was ostensibly about Joe Biden’s mental fitness, Walz recounted receiving a call from the president while eating the Minnesota delicacy Juicy Lucy, a hamburger stuffed with cheese. The next day, he posted on X about a different award-winning hotdish recipe of his, this one involving two separate kinds of canned soup.

We are witnessing what might be the most food-centric presidential campaign in American history. Kamala Harris is, by all accounts, an exceptional and enthusiastic home cook, and has made cooking part of her political brand—surely an intentional calculation, given the negative connotations that might arise when the potential first woman president openly embraces domesticity. In 2019, she offered an off-the-cuff lesson in turkey brining while getting mic’d up to go on television: “Just lather that baby up,” she said, eyes bright. The next year, she started an amateur cooking show; on it, she cracks an egg with one hand and bonds with Mindy Kaling over the fact that their parents both stored spices in old Taster’s Choice jars. She laughs a lot in the kitchen.

Unlike her running mate, Harris seems unlikely to throw four kinds of dairy in the oven for dinner—she’s a Californian, and she cooks like one: swordfish with toasted cardamom for her pescatarian stepdaughter, herb-flecked Mediterranean meatballs on an Instagram Live with the celebrity chef Tom Colicchio. But she’s not immune to the humble charms of ice cream, gumbo, Popeye’s chicken, red-velvet cupcakes, or bacon, which she describes as a “spice” in her household. She comes off as sincere in her love of food but discerning in her tastes. When a 10-year-old recently asked her at an event what her favorite taco filling was, she answered with the kind of absorbed expression that she might otherwise display when explaining foreign policy on the debate stage: carnitas with cilantro and lime, no raw onions.

Invoking food on the campaign trail is a cliché for a reason: Eating is an easy and extremely literal way to prove that you are a human being. But the Democratic Party has not always been great at it. In 2003, John Kerry visited the Philadelphia cheesesteak institution Pat’s and asked for a sandwich not with the traditional Whiz, American, or Provolone, but with Swiss. If voters needed proof that he was something other than the eggheady elitist they thought he was, this wasn’t it: In Philly, Swiss is “an alternative lifestyle,” The Philadelphia Inquirer’s food critic, Craig LaBan, said at the time. One does not get the sense that Walz or Harris would stride into Pat’s and ask for Swiss—not because they’re self-consciously avoiding a gaffe, but because they have deep respect for America’s foodways and are interested in enjoying food however it is meant to be enjoyed.

Their approach makes a marked departure both from the Obama era—what with its well-meaning but not entirely fun focus on childhood obesity, and its notorious seven almonds—and from the current leaders of the Republican Party. Donald Trump doesn’t really talk about liking eating; he does, famously, consume a lot of fast food, but that is reportedly because he’s afraid of being poisoned, not because fast food tastes amazing. His most well-known food tweet—“Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!”—reads like an obligatory plug rather than an earnest celebration of the way the taco bowl itself looks, smells, and tastes: all business, no pleasure. Meanwhile, Trump’s running mate, J. D. Vance, says he loves Diet Mountain Dew, but he seems mostly to be mad about it. To the degree that he has gotten specific about why he likes the beverage, the praise is purely functional: “high caffeine, low calorie.” The primary message here is that food is the site not of delight and togetherness but of anxiety and alienation, or utilitarianism at best. It’s all a little, well, weird.

Food is one of the most universally beloved things on planet Earth. Aligning a presidential campaign with it is smart for all the obvious reasons, but for the Harris-Walz ticket, it’s also a signal. The rhetorical challenge of progressivism is that it is by nature abstract: It imagines a world that does not yet exist, rather than advocating to return to some previous version of the one we know. I find it telling that Walz keeps using the word joy when he talks about the campaign and about his running mate. It’s an uncomplicated message, one that’s even more concrete than Barack Obama’s hope: Hope is the future, but joy is the present. It’s cold milk on a hot day; a perfectly cracked egg; a steaming casserole dish full of God knows what, enjoyed at a crowded table. In foregrounding food, Harris and Walz are making theirs the candidacy of terrestrial pleasure and straightforward abundance. It’s simple, really. —Ellen Cushing

Graceland Experience - PART 6

Fandom: Elvis/Elvis (2022)

Prompt: Elvis takes you for a drive and ask you questions you aren't prepared to answer. Then you overhear a conversation that could ruin everything.

TW: Implication of sexual activity

Word Count: 1212

A/N: Some things start to unravel at the end of this chapter, the reader has to think fast to figure out what to do next.

"Let's go for a little drive, honey," Elvis says suddenly, looking at you intently from across the table before wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Your stomach sinks. He gives you that same eerie look, like he's trying to pick your brain.

You, Sonny, Jerry and Elvis have all just gotten done eating breakfast and are preparing to get up and go your separate ways. Everyone stops. Elvis briefly glances at his friends.

"What are you guys lookin' at? I'll meet with y'all later. Come on, baby."

He stands up from the table and starts towards the door, a clear signal that you should follow him. Sonny and Jerry hang back while you move to catch up with him. The two of you reach the front door, getting into your shoes in silence.

You risk a glimpse at him. He doesn't look angry, which you suppose is a good sign. He looks deep in thought as his brows are knit together.

---

Elvis turns down a backroad, his thumb drumming on the steering wheel. The radio is off and it is completely silent. The two of you have been driving now, you're guessing, for about ten minutes. In complete silence. Your nerves are shot and you just wish he would say something. As if reading your mind, he finally speaks up.

"Why were you in my room yesterday?"

Your face drains as you look out the window.

Shit. What do you say? You had been so careful. Maybe he's just guessing.

"What do you mean?" You ask, not taking the risk of looking at him.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Play stupid."

You sigh as you look at your hands, your palms already starting to sweat. You look over at him and he looks at you. He still doesn't look angry, which calms you a bit.

"I, uh-" you start, thinking of something to say.

You kick yourself for not thinking of what to say in the event that he had heard you.

"Honey, I'm not mad at ya'. I Just...I know you're lyin' to me. Not just about this."

A shock runs through you.

"How?" you say too quickly.

He glances at you from the corner of his eye before looking back towards the road.

"You're not a good liar."

You pause before asking your next question.

"Does anyone else know?"

He pauses for so long a moment, you're not sure if he heard you.

"I don't think so."

At least that's some good news. Okay. So he knows you're lying to him. He doesn't know the extent, though.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone in your room. I was...trying to see if you had found me with anything. Like a wallet, so I could remember some more things about myself. I remember my name is (y/n) but that's all."

Does he believe you? He is silent for a long moment, before letting a sigh fall from his lips.

"Alright well, that's somethin' I guess."

You wonder if he's going to ask ask you about the open dresser drawer and when you look at him again, his face is a little flushed.

"And you can uh- forget anything you might've seen in my room," he says rather awkwardly, a question in the inflection of his voice.

"Yes, I didn't see anything, Elvis," you agree, your face burning as you turn your attention to the road.

He nods his head.

"Okay then."

He then finally turns on the radio.

---

You sigh as you crack open Sound of Thunder, sitting on the same chair you sat in the first day you woke up here. You read the first page, the main character preparing to go back in time. You jump ahead to the moment the main character and his group actually go on the journey.

"First a day and then a night and then a day and then a night, then it was day-night-day-night-day. A week, a month, a year, a decade! A.D. 2055. A.D. 2019. 1999! 1957! Gone! The machine roared."

You look up from the book. You aren't sure how well this is going to help. You didn't travel in time by a big machine, it was a couch. You groan in frustration, shutting the book as you place it on the small table in front of you. Standing up, you walk over to the room's window that overlooked the backyard.

You allow your shoulders to relax, realizing just how tense you've been since you got here. Looking out towards the stables, you are surprised when you see Elvis emerge from one, holding the reins of a black horse. Your eyes follow him as he walks out towards the trail where the riding takes place.

You don't realize just how entranced you probably look until you see him turn suddenly, looking up at your window. You gasp as your face burns, instinctively ducking your head so he can't see you, although you're sure he's too far away to see much of anything.

You peek your head back up as he turns from the window, continuing on until he reaches the trail. He holds his horse steady as he sticks one foot in the shoe holder, mounting himself onto the animal. You take a moment to admire his form, the way the pants he's wearing hugs his thighs. How his button-up short sleeved shirt hangs loosely on him. You admire him for as long as you can before he rides out of sight.

You release a breath as you turn from the window, preparing to open the book again to search for more answers. Until you hear Sonny's voice.

"Jerry, what are you talkin' about?"

"I don't know Sonny, I just thought I saw somethin' when we found her. That's all I'm sayin'."

You heart leaps as you stand suddenly frozen, your ears straining to hear the conversation.

"What do you mean, what kind of things?"

"Like a purse, I think there was some stuff in there. Elvis wouldn't let me see what was in it."

Did they know you were up here? Apparently not.

"What, so you're sayin' she's lying or somethin'?"

Jerry hesitates.

"Well, I'm not too sure of that, maybe she really doesn't remember anything. I don't know, I could be wrong. I just know I saw somethin'."

Oh no. No, no, no. You're purse?! If they found you with it, where the hell is it now? And what was in it that Elvis wouldn't let Jerry see?

"Well, maybe Elvis just wants the girl to remember things for herself, you know so she doesn't lie or somethin' to stay longer."

This is a lame excuse, Sonny knows that as well as you. Why is he defending you? Why do you hear a softness in his voice towards you that you hadn't heard before? You decide to think about the meaning of this later, right now you need to stop this conversation.

You quietly rush to the bathroom to distract the men from talking further. Turning on the shower, you hear them come to a hushed conclusion of their talk before you hear footsteps on the stairs.

This is the worst case scenario. So Elvis does have your purse. Why is he hiding it?

You need to talk to him.

oh baby !

dad!trevor zegras x black!fem!reader

friends to lovers to parents

warnings: swearing, kissing, baby, talk of birth, pregnancy, young pregnancy. young parents, traditional parents (of reader), references to smut no actual smut

author’s note: hello everyone. i’m so sorry i’ve been so inactive i had emergency surgery last week so i’ve been dealing with recovery as well as the days leading up to it i was very sick. but!! here is some dad trevor to brighten the day!! i hope you guys enjoy.

trevor was always a goofball. he never took anything serious. this became a problem as he got older. he knew when he was very talkative and liked to crack jokes. he was amazing at it after all. he knew he could get out of anything by simply just, talking or telling a few one liners to save the day.

you not so much. you were dramatic, sue me. you worried about everything. it was in your nature. trevor was never careful. he was never aware of how serious things can get. you solved problems with reason and strategy. you never had a reason to not stress.

trevor was your best friend. the only man you’ll ever let that close to you. you were childhood friends who did everything together. of course you had your girl friends that you loved dearly, but trevor was your soulmate.

september 2019 - Boston University

you loved rainy days. you would spend all day watching movies or even reading. rainy days made you feel zen, at peace.

today was not one of those days.

you sat on the cold tile floor, makeup smeared, and tears lining the brim of your eyes. you couldn’t breathe. this couldn’t be happening.

it was one time. one fucking time.

you shakily lift the third pregnancy test you’ve taken today.

= pregnant

“fuck, this can’t be real,” you sob holding the stick close to you. you shake breathing in trying to hold your sobs in.

it was nearly twelve in the morning and you had class early. you really hope you don’t wake up your roommate but you really can’t stop sobbing. you have only been here for 3 weeks and you already fucked up. you parents were going to kill you. there was no doubt about it. the worst part of this all was the fact that you had to tell trevor.

oh trevor…

you slowly stand up from the floor and set the stick down. you open the bathroom door to see your roommate kayla staring ar you with worry in her tired eyes.

“hey babe what’s going on,” she quietly asks with a hoarse voice from sleeping.

you sniffle before hugging her. “i’m pregnant,” you sob breaking down once again. she gasps and pulls you back.

“y/n, what?” she looks up with wide eyes. you bite your lip nervously handing her the pregnancy test. she looks down at it and sucks in a breath. “it’s trevor’s?” she questions.

you had told her about your little sex adventures with your hometown best friend, not even thinking about the consequences of having raw sex. raw sex with your best friend. raw sex with someone you’re going to lose… your heart breaks at the idea of telling trevor. you don’t even want to tell anyone. you felt trapped and scared.

“he’s.going. to hate me,” you sob in broken sentences. the pounding in your head gets louder the more you cry.

kayla grabs your hands and holds them tightly. she looks into your eyes and tells you a story about her mom. you knew from over the summer and talking to her that her mother was 17 when she had her first child. things weren’t easy but she did it.

“you are so strong, trevor is a good guy,” she smiles softly holding your jaw lovingly. “he’s still your best friend, just talk to him,”

little did she know that the friend ship sailed away months ago after you started hooking up.

—

y/n

can we meet for lunch?

trev <3

yeah ofc meet me at frankie’s?

y/n

yeah 11:45 don’t be late

trev <;3

yes ma’am 🫡

—

you chew your nails waiting for trevor at the cafe near campus. you look out the window and see trevor walking towards the building. he was dressed in sweats and a hoodie. god he looked so good.

trevor makes his way inside and looks for you. he smiles when he sees you sitting there. you try to cover up the fact that you’re nervous as fuck. he makes it to the table and sits down across from you smiling.

“hey cutie,” he says fixing his beanie.

“hi,” you say quickly avoiding eye contact with him.

he frowns looking at you with confusion. you were never this quiet. sure you were not as loud as trevor. no one was. but you were chatty around people who made you happy. this was odd. this wasn’t you.

“y/n what’s wrong,” he frowns deeper heart beating out of his chest. were you mad at him? was he in trouble?

you sigh feeling the tears starting to well in your eyes. you shakily breathe in and out before looking him in the eyes. “i’m going to tell you something z, you have to promise you won’t get mad,” you say holding back tears.

“yeah, yeah. of course. what’s going on?”

trevor feels sick. what could she possibly have to say. the first thing he thinks of is that you have a boyfriend and you have to stop fucking. that thought quickly brought a sour taste to his mouth. he felt a huge tang of jealousy hit his chest. no other man should have their hands on you. you were his.

you slowly lift up your purse pulling out the three tests setting them on the table. he sucks in a breath, eyes wide looking at the blue and white device on the table.

“are these…” he whispers lifting one up to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. you bite the inside of your cheek nervous.

“yeah, they’re m-mine,” you whisper holding back sobs.

he feels his heart swell up with something. happiness? pride? love? he couldn’t pin point it. this was news that he never thought he’d hear, but he wasn’t one bit mad about it.

“please say something,”

“baby this.. this is crazy,” he smiles looking at you.

“what..?” you breathe a shaky teary laugh.

trevor gets up and moves into the booth with you. he grabs you and pulls you into him kissing your head a million times.

“we can do this. no, we will do this.”

april 2020

you make your way through the halls of yours and trevor’s shared apartment. waddling your way through the days. as covid 19 was taking the world by storm you and trevor have had nothing but one on one time. talking, singing, rapping, reading, you name it. anything to your belly. after 3 months into your pregnancy trevor took you out on a real date and asked you to be his official girlfriend.

your parents were not thrilled with the news. they called you all kinds of names and made you feel extremely small and stupid. they told you that if you dropped out of school they’d disown you. they even went on to say that they don’t know if they can be in your life if you choose to keep the baby and not give it up for adoption. you have cried and cried about your parents not being excepting. you worried day and night about them. heart broken at the fact they didn’t want anything to do with you.

julie and gary have been nothing but loving and supportive. they were scared at first. worried how this would affect trevor’s future. but after getting drafted they no longer worried. they knew their son could take care of you. he was a good man, he takes care of his siblings in ways that made you feel safe knowing he was going to be the father of your child.

your pregnancy was fairly easy you had little trouble. you dealt with little morning sickness and even went to the gym with trevor as often as you could.

july 21, 2020, dylan mae zegras arrives.

8lbs 3oz, 23 inches long. a perfect baby girl. she came quick and dramaticly.

you were watching tv in the living room waiting for trevor to get home. you were slowly packing things up for the big move to anaheim. you felt wettness pool in your pants. you groan thinking it was probably sweat from being 9 months pregnant and sitting with a heated blanket. you stand up slowly feeling a contraction hit you like a truck.

“no, no, no,” you cry holding your belly. “this can’t be happening,” you cry out walking towards the kitchen. you unlock your phone and call trevor. he was at weight training and wouldn’t be home for another hour.

“hello,” you hear him on the other line. just as you were about to speak another contraction hits, harder. “baby are you okay?”

you whimper out a “it’s happening,”

[highlynerdy]

My bestie will be here next week for our annual (sometimes biannual, but not in many years) art retreat and she requested that we do some dyeing for needle felting. I ordered ~15 lbs of various wool tops and have been slowly dyeing up a rainbow of colors for us to play with. But! The magic of art retreat is we never know what we're going to spend the week making and I can't wait to see the nonsense that unfolds.

Our art retreat in February of 2020 was my first exploration of the stained glass painting series. (This video cracks me up every time...)

As well as playing around with merthur-inspired poetry (though she didn't know it was fandom-y lol)

I taught her to watercolor in 2019, she made fabric intestines in 2020, I painted in my handmade fanARTifact leather journal when I went to see her in 2022, we carved stamps and embossed in 2023.

Having creative friends is the best thing. ~5 days until chaos!

[secretnameofeverydeath]

My dad just got hit by a bus. And it broke his neck and now he's dead. I gotta pick up my mom and bring her to the morgue so she can identify his body. No I'm not kidding. This is actually happening. And now I'm high on crack.

6.1. When my brother died (unexpectedly) his widow couldn't find a phone number for me among his papers until two weeks later. While I swept my porch and bought apples and sat by the window in the evening with the radio on, his death came wandering slowly towards me across the sea.

5.6. When my parents died I chose not to eat but to burn them. Then buried the ashes under a stone cut with their names. For my brother I had no choice, I was a thousand miles away. His widow says he wanted to be cast in the sea, so she did this. There is no stone and as I say he had changed his name.

WIP WHENEVER/WIP LAST LINE

I've been tagged by a fair few people over the course of the last few weeks, and I have barely had anything to share in return, or at least nothing I thought was worthwhile. Despite my burnout, the brain still likes to write from time to time, so, have some Price POV from chapter 11 of Evening of Score and him being the stubborn asshole he is <3

November 1, 2019 - Somewhere near the Russian border

It’s the silence that killed him. So used to having her at his side, the angel on his shoulder who was never more than a phone call away when he needed her, and now it was all dead air. He didn’t expect that, hadn’t planned for that reaction. After two years and multiple missions worked together, apparently Rory could still offer him some surprises.

Price sat squashed behind the wheel of a Russian squad car and even the taste of a cigar brought little comfort. The tobacco tart, bitter on his tongue. All he could taste was the ash, the burnt cinders stinging the roof of his mouth.

Couldn’t be guilt, never.

His eyes narrowed as he focused on the stretch of yellow lines on the road, the headlights glowing out in the night along the empty stretch of asphalt. A million stormy thoughts gusting through his head, and not a single one showed in his indecipherable stare like he was the bloody sphinx.

He always figured if there was anyone that could understand, who would see why he did the things he had to do it was her. She understood what was necessary, what was required, she never questioned the motives. She was a damn fine soldier because of that. He got why Garrick would question him, he hadn’t seen the darker side of their world, but Rory? Well, she knew damn well the kind of shit they had to pull – her tac vest pocket on the left side carried the tools to do it too – and her acting as if she had the right to take some moral high ground with him made his teeth grit together, grind.

His cigar burned in the dark, glowing in his eyes, reflecting the fire in his belly as smoke curled from his lips and escaped through the crack in the window while Garrick sat quietly in the backseat – he could probably sense the tension flooding off him in waves right now, but Price didn’t much care; he could blame it on the mission, on Hadir, on Barkov. He had no other option but to stew in the quiet when he wasn’t able to rip a strip off someone, he certainly wasn’t going to debate himself on what he’d done, not when he knew he was right. It had to be done. And, as always, he was the only one capable of it. It’s why he was called into every God forsaken corner of the planet to deal with the filth that liked to prey on others in the dark. He’d had to become this way, no one else would… no one else could. Just him.

Flexing his shoulders against the seat, he leaned his head back against the rest, letting out a heavy breath, a low growl he could blame on the smoke in his lungs as his fingers wrapped around the steering wheel, stretching and squeezing against it, knuckles tightening until they were near white as the material squeaked under his grip. Wouldn’t know what to say to her even if she was here, he thought. She’d want him to make things right, he knew he had no reason to. Eventually she’d come around or he’d cut her a little slack the way he always did when that pretty little scowl of hers crossed her face and made her lips pout. He hated seeing her angry, it ached something fierce seeing that flash of contempt in her eyes instead. The coldness towards him was never her style, Rory always fought back, she argued – same as he did. Pushing each other until that damn smirk of hers would curl her lips knowing she’d won and he fucking loved her for it.

Whatever this was, it was fucking unbearable.

But the personal would have to wait, pushed back into the recesses of his head until later. He’d spent too much time thinking about it already. The mission came first, it was paramount. Lives depended on him, on the next steps he took. All out war was in the balance… didn’t stop him from picturing her walking away from him though. Didn’t stop him from wanting to kiss her with so much force the next time he saw her that she forgot what she was even angry about.

That didn’t stop the corner of his mouth from curling up just the slightest bit – a secret kept only for himself.

How I Came to Love Good Omens

The official Good Omens account asked to use my cosplay selfie for the recent, "Who is the Crowley to your Aziraphale?" posts on Twitter and Instagram to promote Season 2 (greatest moment of my cosplay career, that) and I was waiting to see if they would post it to Tumblr so I could sweep in with my fun Good Omens fan origin story and possibly get @neil-gaiman to chuckle but it has not yet happened, so we're going with the old-fashioned text post method.

In college I was an English Lit major. I had a few author-specific classes, including one on Sir Terry Pratchett. (Yes, I wrote academic papers on Discworld.)⁣ ⁣ Ever since, if I happened across a Terry Pratchett book on a shelf somewhere, I read it.

Late Spring of 2019, I was at my friend’s place and saw Good Omens wedged between a few other books in her collection. I vaguely recognized the title, saw “Pratchett,” and asked to borrow it.⁣ I zipped through it, finishing it on my train ride home from work later that week—and, this is the best part— all done, I checked my emails.

I am subscribed to Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s Word of the Day. There was the day’s word in my inbox:⁣ ⁣ Ineffable. ⁣

I cracked up loudly and then tweeted about it with the hashtag #GoodOmens, and was then VERY confused two little dudes popped up next to the hashtag. Why on earth was there an icon for a novel as old as me? ⁣ I clicked around and discovered a series was airing soon on Prime. I was very excited about it. No, I did not realize at the time how much it would come to mean to me, but I was tickled by the coincidence/fate of it all anyway.

——————————————————————————

Zero.

November 27, 2022

Lando put his key into Kaarina’s front door to her penthouse, he walked in putting his bag on the front bench by the door and suitcase next to it, so he remembers to put it in his apartment later having choose not to stop by his floor first wanting to go to Kaarina first, he set his keys and sunglasses in the bowl on the entry table sliding his shoes off and putting them on the rack by the front door.

He walked though the entry way hearing the silence around the penthouse knowing Kaarina is still sleeping as the sun is not even up yet, as he chose to take a flight late at night instead waiting to leave in the morning to fly home.

Lando walked towards the living room before passing the kitchen and walking through the long hallway all the way to the end where Kaarina’s bedroom was and gently pushing the cracked door open seeing the tall window blinds being shut being sure to block the bright sunlight when it comes up, in the center of the bed was a sleeping Kaarina who was peaceful sleeping with something snuggled in her arms, and the white duvet cuddled around her.

Lando paused leaned on the door smiling admiring his girlfriend having not been with her in a week as the season just ended and they had separate things they had to do with there teams, he could feel the tension and anxiety release from him being so close by Kaarina again.

Lando knew he should go shower from coming off the plane but all he wanted right now was to cuddle with his girl and go back to sleep with her in his arms, He walked over setting his phone on his side of the bed and his nightstand that Kaarina had specifically had empty when Lando started coming over, he slighty smiled seeing the phone cord still there for him he plugged in his phone setting it on his table before sliding off his hoodie and socks throwing them on a large chair in the room before lifting the side of the duvet and sliding in the bed.

He stopped seeing the thing between her arms feeling his lips beginning to lift up, seeing the one of the many jelly cats he got her, specifically her favorite the croissant, cuddled up in her arms and she had on a LN hoodie that he knew was his as she liked the smell better of his better than her own and a pair of purple quadrant sweat shorts.

Lando gently scooted closer to her, making Kaarina stir before she scooted closer and naturally nuzzled her head into his side as her body began relaxing against him. Lando brushed his hand though her hair tucking it behind her ear, just as her eyes slighty flutterd open looking up seeing Lando, her eyes soften and her lips turned into a tiny sleepy soft smile, the smile that is one of Lando’s favorite as it’s he the one only for who will ever see it.

“Hi baby.” Lando cooed grinned at a sleepy Kaarina slowly kissing her forehead, Kaarina hummed feeling Lando cup her cheek and she nuzzled into the palm of his hand, her eyes slowly began fluttering back to sleep as she fell asleep quickly to the sound of Lando’s heartbeat, Lando not quick behind her, easily falling asleep with Kaarina in his arms.

Kaarina was the one who woke up a few hours later her head still tightly pressed against Lando’s side as his arm were wrapped around her, she could not stop the smile forming on her lips, seeing her favorite person home with her again, she gently moved her eyes around his face admiring him having missed seeing him, FaceTime and photos not the same.

Lando slowly began to wake up feeling Kaarina scoot up resting her head next to his and her eyes staying on him, he turned his head to the right leaning on the pillow opening his eyes looking right into the crystal blue eyes he loves so much. Lando leaned his head forward making his nose brush her’s, Kaarina nudged her nose against Lando’s before resting her forehead against his and closing her eyes.

Lando looked at the love of his life before whispering words quickly, “Let’s tell everyone.” Kaarina slowly opened her eyes hearing Lando.

The two been dating for over two years, and while they have never hide their relationship they weren’t really showing anything that would hint to it, not because they didn’t want anyone to know but they wanted it to just be them in the beginning learning each other and then they were just comfortable with it being private and kinda a secret, they have told family obviously and they both told their closet friend but they never felt the need to tell the world liking their private relationship.

“Yeah?” Kaarina hummed running her hand through her boys hair, her favorite curls especially when he lets them grow out.

“I just want everyone to know you’re mine.” Lando simply said relishing in the feeling of her fingers in his hair.

“Ok.” Kaarina agreed just smiling slighty.

“Yeah.” Lando perked up, seeing Kaarina nod her head making him grin more, He leaned forward kissing her slowly not caring that either of them had not brushed their teeth yet, before gently pulling back and setting a quick kiss on her nose loving how it scrunched up.

“We can just stop hiding it and let people figure it out.” Lando mischievously grinned knowing they both love messing with people.

“I like the way you think.” Kaarina grinned laughing slightly, before cuddling into Lando’s neck enjoying the quiet time between the two.

One.

Charles, Alex, Lily, George, Carmen

January 6, 2023

Carmen, Lily and Karrtina sat around the top deck of a boat as Kaarina showed different outfits and photos from recent shoots and upcoming events to the girls, when the loud sounds of the boys became louder and closer to them.

Alex, Charles and George walked towards the girls, Alex sitting on the larger chair scooting in next to Lily, George settling down next to Carmen on the couch dropping his arm around her shoulders and Charles sitting on a couch by himself having broken up with his girlfriend two months ago.

It was peaceful silence between the group just the sound of the water moving below them and the late night breeze, before they all heard the last pair of footsteps, showing Lando who walked over to the couch were Kaarina was sitting alone, and cuddled up into her side intwining one of her hands with his and her other running though his hair, as she relaxed against him.

Lando grumbled cuddling closer to his girlfriend making her look down as her whole face soften looking at him and her lips turned up, shocking the others even more as she is known to not love any physical touch and is not the biggest smiler, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t smile but Kaarina is more reversed to her self and a select few.

“How long how this been going on?” Lily gently smiled figuring it out the fastest, glad her friend has found someone she can be relaxed and happy with.

Kaarina looked up at the people she would call friends not that she would ever tell them that but felt comfortable answering them knowing it came from a good place, “Two and half years.”

“TWO AND HALF YEARS!!!” Charles yelped in shock staring at the two people he would consider some of his closest friends. Lando head lifted from her side sliding closer and resting his head on her shoulder instead, his thumb soft brushing the back of her hand, beginning to fiddle with her rings that he picked out for her today.

“Why didn’t you say guys say anything?” Alex curiously questioned looking between the two and noticing how calm the two were next to each other, and wondering how he didn’t notice it before.

“We didn’t hide we just did not feel the need to announce to everyone.” Lando explained, before he grinned slighty, “And Kaar wanted to mess with everyone.” Lando laughed as he said it.

“Of course she did.” George fondly chuckled, knowing how his teammate is, him seemingly the least surprised as everyone else, as he sees Kaarina the most and have seen her with Lando, the way they act towards each other and has seen her home screen which is a picture of the two smiling together with Lando chin on her shoulder and arms around her waist.

Lando just grinned proudly kissing his favorite persons cheek, whose nose got slight dusted with pink.

Lily and Carmen shared a aww look loving how cute the two were together already.

“I wanna see photos!!!” Lily smiled clapping her hands while Carmen nodded quickly looking at the two.

“Alright, Alright.” Karina fondly rolled her eyes grabbing her phone and opening it up to her camera roll heading to a folder of photos of the two of them together or ones Kaarina and Lando took of each other, she tossed her phone to Lily who quickly caught it and began looking at it with Carmen.

“So how did you get Kaarina to go out with you?” Alex grinned teasing Lando, looking at the two.

“With my great looks.” Lando sassed back with a smirk, Kaarina shook her head a small snicker leaving her knowing that’s not the reason, Lando who heard her looked at her in fake offence, “It is not?” Lando grinned teasing his girl knowing the real reason they got together.

“If it was i wouldn’t have said yes.” Kaarina snarked back, joking knowing she thinks Lando handsome but that is not reason she said yes to him.

“Ouch love.” Lando pouted as the boys were dying laughing.

Carmen and Lily gasped at the same time as they looked at the phone, Lily looked up, “That is so cute!” Kaarina raised an eye brow as Carmen turned the phone showing a photo of the two of them in a grass field with her sitting on a blanket and her legs crossed and Lando laying on his back and his head in her lap as he looked up at her and she was smiling looking at him and her hand was resting on his face.

“Oh, yeah it is.” Kaarina softened looking at the photo, it’s one of her favorite photos of the two and one Lando loves to look at because of her smile.

“It’s one of my favorites.” Lando chimed in with a smile not only is her girl smiling at him but the picture shows how she looks at him too.

“It is actually cute.” Alex smiled looking at the picture and anyone would eyes could tell the two loved each other a lot.

Two.

Lewis Toto, and Mick

March 19, 2023

Kaarina was curled in a tight ball on her favorite all black couch that’s in her driver room, she had a white and green flower fluffy blanket covered over her whole body that was a gift from Lando and she brought with her everywhere and the two use the blanket at home together so it has Lando scent on it, she had on her sand speedco hoodie on and the hood over all her hair, in her arms was a sun jelly cat from Lando, a heating pad on her stomach to try and help with the pain and cramps in her stomach.

Their was a knock and quickly then three following after making her know exactly who as the door and she called out a quiet come in, Lando opened the door frowning slightly at Kaarina hiding in her blanket before quickly shutting the door behind having snuck in the Mercedes garage with George’s help.

“Hi baby.” Lando softly cooed, walking and sitting by her head and slowly lifted the blanket from her head and gently brushed her hair from her face leaning down and putting four kisses on her forehead, “How you feeling my love.”

Kaarina answer was a pained groan and she brought her knees up tighter to her stomach.

“Is there anything that will make you feel better?” Lando gently asked always feeing hopeless when she wasn’t feeling good.

“Hold me?” Kaarina softy whispered. Kaarina being more vulnerable as she is in pain and usually she wouldn’t want anyone near her but she’s always been comfortable with Lando and never worried about protecting her self from him, and knows she’s safe with him.

“That i can do.” Lando smiled before gently scooting under her letting her whole body weight lay on top of him and putting a hand on her stomach where the heating pad is and gently massaging knowing they can help her when her periods bad. Kaarina slowly fell asleep to the feeling of his hand and the sound of Lando’s heartbeat. Lando felt her breathing slow down and knew she had at least a twenty minutes before either of them were needed. He slowly rested his eyes too and before he knew he was fast asleep.

Toto knocked on Kaarina driver door with Lewis and Mick behind both told by Savanna, Maya and George that Kaarina isn’t feeling well and they could all tell this morning when she walked in she didn’t look too great, there wasn’t an answer on the door figuring she was sleeping he slowly opened the door raising a eye brown as the scene in front of him, his number one driver cuddling with Mclaren number one driver, though he isn’t as surprised as he should be but he always felt there was something between the two.

Lewis nodded smiling looking at the two thinking they are so different but they probably balance each other nicely, and Kaarina is a great judge of character and if she is comfortable enough to cuddle and fall asleep on someone then there good for her.

Mick smiled he thought the two had something as she brought him on family trips but they acted like best friends he wasn’t sure if they ever became more but it looks like they have.

The three shared a look before slowly closing the door and walking out knowing they can still rest for a few more minutes.

Lando slowly woke up to a buzz ok his phone clicking it on noticing it’s probably a good idea to wake up her up, he gently moved his hand to her back rubbing it with his hand up and down, “Kaar baby you got to get up.” She groaned trying to cuddle closer and Lando wanted nothing more to stay here and cuddle but he knew they had to get up, “Cmon angel let me see those pretty eyes.” Lando cooed cupping her face with his hands. Kaarina slowly fluttered her eyes open making Lando smile and kiss her cheek.

She leaned up stretching her arms and rubbing her eyes, she slowly slid off Lando knowing he has to go to his garage, Lando leaned up as well kissing the top of her head, “I’ll see you in few minutes yeah.”

Kaarina nodded kissing his cheek watching him walk to the door opening and closing it behind him.

Lando walked out of her driver room down the hallway past a door that was open when he heard his name being called by Toto he turned seeing Toto, George, Lewis, Maya and Mick sitting in a room that had couches and a long table, he walked in slowly looking at them.

“Next time you come to see Kaarina you’ll be allowed in without sneaking it.” Toto calmly told Lando trying not smirk.

“What?” Lando raised and eyebrow looking between them all.

“They saw you cuddling Rina.” George simply piped in, enjoying the slight panic on Lando’s face when he turned around to look at Toto.

“Oh.” Lando realized they knew about him and Kaarina, he nodded, “Cool thank you.”

“Hey Toto-” Kaarina stopped mid sentence as she stopped in the doorway as she was walking braiding her hair but stopped seeing Lando stand in the room with her team. She turned slightly to Toto raising her eyebrow in question as she finished her fishtail braid and tied it off.

“Might want to lock your doors next time.” Toto explained seeing the questioned she was asking.

“Oh.” Kaarina just shrugged not looking bothered they knew, in which she wasn’t bothered she wanted them to know anyways, and she knew Maya already knew as she comes to her house on training days anyways and has seen Lando there, and both of their trainers know about their relationship.

Savanna, Kaarina’s personal assistant and a good friend of hers, came walking in with her heels clacking looking down at her ipad and a handful of stuff in her hands, she was grabbing what Kaarina is allowed to have before the race and was approved by her trainer Maya. She stopped in front of Kaarina handing a pain medication for her cramps and the pain in her stomach and head, few different vitamins that help her when she is on her period and a pre race smoothie, Kaarina threw the handful of pills in her mouth sipping the smoothie to swallow them down. Savanna seemed to continue to work on ipad before showing Kaarina a picture of her for approval to he posted on her stories, Kaarina nodded to the photo before turning to Lando.

“You probably have to go get ready.” Kaarina looked at Lando knowing they are getting close to race time and he a pre race ritual he does.

“Yeah, Later.” Lando nodded in agreement waving bye to the others in room, walking to Kaarina kissing her cheek before looking in her eyes and the two seemed to have a unspoken conversation with their eyes, leaving them both in small smiles before Kaarina gave him a small shove towards the door knowing he really needed to get going.

Kaarina closed her eyes feeling the teasings looks from the whole room, “Don’t say a word.”

Quadrant

August 5, 2023

The Summer break had just started and Lando and Kaarina had to do a few days at their headquarters for their teams filming and shooting a few things for summer break, so the two stayed at their house they have together in London right in the middle of the two factories, mostly during the season they don’t get a lot of time to get home to Monaco as when they have a off week they usually have to be at the factory so they bought a house together so they could be more comfortable and not have to stay in hotels as much.

Lando was having his Qudrant team come over for a few hours to film a challenge video and a few other videos, while Kaarina was out doing a photo shoot with a brand for the day.

They had finished filming their video and was done for they day so most of them decided to stay and they ordered in, they all sat around the large island in the open kitchen eating Chinese food, when they heard the sound of heels clicking, and Kaarina walked in with blue jeans with a few rips, a black laced tank, a leather jacket and heeled boots, her long blonde hair was waved and down.

Ria grinned waving at Kaarina as she’s become a good friend of hers, Kaarina smirked a little waving back. There was Niran, Max, Aarave and Ethan still there as well as they all looked up at the sound of her heels saying hello.

“Hey.” Kaarina greeted back walking over to Lando standing next to to him, closer to his height with her shoes on, she gave a look and he answered in a nod leaning down to kiss her cheek as she took on one of his spring rolls, happily munching on the food as Lando grabbed a box on the island he got specifically for her knowing she loves these, he handed her the box watching her open them and he sees her light up seeing her favorite potstickers and she quickly picked one up eating it.

Lando wrapped and arm around her waist leaning his chin on her shoulder wacthing her happily eat some food, he knows on shoot days they can be long and stressful and she usually doesn’t have time to eat or doing to much and doesn’t realize she hasn’t eaten yet.

Niran, Max, Aarav and Ethan went back to their discussion they were having but Ria was wacthing the two wondering if there was something there, she always thought they would be perfect together, she means they do own a house together and they balance each other out nicely, and as she watched Lando get food for Kaarina resting his chin on her shoulder as Kaarina fed him his spring rolls she knew right there they were together already especially when Lando leaned down and pecked her lips in what seemed like a thank you.

Ria squealed grinning as she clapped her hands, Max cursed flinching away as he was the closest to her well his ear was, “Jesus christ Ria.”

“Sorry.” Ria grinned not looking sorry as she was still looking at Kaarina and Lando, “Oh my god how long has this been going on.”

“What are you on about?” Ethan questioned looking genuinely confused, Max titled his head seeing Ria stare at his best mate and one of his closer friends and figured she probably saw them do something as a couple, as Max had known since ever as Lando needed help getting Kaarina to go on a date with him, and Lando’s his best mate.

“Kaarina and Lando!” Ria grinned answering the question, Ethan still looked confused looking at her for answer.

“There together you muppet.” Max rolled his eyes explaining it to Ethan, as he knew Kaarina and Lando were fine with people knowing.

Ethan looked at Max, then looked at Ria and then Kaarina and Lando, Lando who was smirking seeing Ethan be so slow, Ethan slowly nodded, “Ohhhhh.”

“Woah!” Niran mumbled suprised Lando and Kaarina are together, not that Kaarina’s ever been rude or bitchy to any of the Quadrant team she just is more reserved and likes to keep to herself, but he could see why it makes sense as Kaarina and Lando have been best friends from what Niran knows a lot time so it makes sense.

“Almost three years.” Kaarina answered the question Ria wanted to know leaning into Landos side more as his hand rested on her waist.

“Awww.” Ria grinned looking at the two.

“Try third wheeling with these two muppets.” Max jested pointing towards them, Lando was sliding his fried rice in front of Kaarina giving her look to eat, making her fondly roll her eyes taking a bite being thankful for Lando protective and caring nature.

“They can’t be that bad.” Aarav looked at Max for an answer. Max playful grimaced instead of answering.

Kaarina picked a piece of rice flicking across the island at Max’s forehead, “We are not that bad.”

Max looked offended once he realized what hit him in the forehead, as the rest of the people in the kitchen was laughing at Max getting hit with rice.

“Your terrible.” Max exclaimed, Lando just chuckled knowing they weren’t that bad, if anything Max was worse with his girlfriend.

A few hours had gone before they all left leaving Lando and Kaarina alone.

Kaarina had hopped up on the island awhile ago with Lando standing between her legs and her hand in his hair. Lando leaned forward letting his head rest against her chest.

“Are you excited.” Lando questioned against her chest relaxing at the the feeling of her hands in his curls.

“Very.” Kaarina smiled leaning down to kiss his head.

The two have been doing a lot of extra work with their teams and businesses, filming extra content in the first week of summer break so they could spend two weeks off in Greece for a break just the two of them, and to celebrate there upcoming three years together.

Lando lifted his head cupping her face with both of her hand smiling as he leaned closer to her face, “Good.” He pressed their lips together feeling her smile into the kiss.

Four.

Max, Daniel, Pierre, Carlos, Oscar, Logan

September 3, 2023

Some of the drivers on the grid sat around a large table booth in the corner of a large huge club, hidden away from the blaring lights and other bodies dancing around the floor, empty glasses were flitted around the table as they celebrated there race from that day in Monza or was getting drunk to forget about their race, They also were celebrating Kaartina breaking the record for most consecutive wins ever.

Multiple conversations were being held around the table all talking about different things.

Lando arm was draped around the back of Kaartina seats as he leaned his mouth to her ear, “Dance with me baby?” Her eyes flickered up towards Lando, whose was pulling out his puppy eyes knowing they always work on her.

Kaartina fondly rolled her eyes before nodding making Lando grin brightly before he jumped up off his seat that was at edge of the bench and put his hands on her waist lifting her up before she could change her mind, Kartina lightly smiled as her hands landed right on Lando’s chest and she saw his mischievous smirk, before he dragged her to middle of the room as her fluffy ponytail whipped around.

“Did Rina just let Lando touch her willingly?” Daniel sputtered out in shock, Chalres and Alex shared a looked snickering, George smiled drinking from his glass, Max raised his eyebrow before nodding not seemingly that suprised, Pierre opened and closed him mouth.

Carlos titled his head muttering to himself, “You muppet.”

Oscar was nonchalantly drinking from the glass already knowing about the his best friend and teammate. Logan next to him having alreadly see the two together.

Lando spun Kaarina around pulling her close to him by her waist as her arms looped around his neck and her fingers threaded through the base of his hair.

Lando leaned down putting his forehead against hers, “I love you Kaar.”

Kaarina eyes soften and she mumbled back, “I love you too Lan.” Lando smiled brightly before connecting his lips to her as one of his hand cupped her cheek and the other squeezed her waist pulling her even closer.

Daniel jaw dropped looking at the two, Carlos looked genuinely surprised most likely with the fact Lando is actually with someone, Pierre just rapidly blinked and Max just kept drinking his drink.

Alex and Charles could not contain their laughter, the two dying laughing realizing they probably looked just a shocked when they found out.

“How long has that been going on.” Carlos questioned out loud, not thinking anyone at the table knew about those two.

“Three years.” Five voice all chimed in at the same time.

Carlos whipped his his head back at the table hearing Charles, Alex, George, Oscar and Logan all speak, surprising him as he thought, one no one knew and two how the two have been dating for that long and he never found out, “That long?”

Oscar nodded, “Yeah.”

“How have we never figured it out before.” Daniel questioned looking genuinely stumped.

“They kept it kinda private for awhile and this season they have been letting people figure it out.” George simply explained, understanding the two wanting to keep it private especially the sport they are in and the hate Kaarina gets as a female driver it would make since for them not wanting everyone to know about their relationship.

“Makes sense.” Max nodded he too likes the more private side of a relationship, his relationship is public but they keep many things private between just them.

Kaarina slid back into her seat Lando sliding in right next to her, they shared a mischievous look knowing the others probably saw them.

“I’m surprised you manage to keep it a secret that long.” Carlos was the first to speak looking between the two wondering how he didn’t see the subtle things between them.

“I’m still surprised Lando kept it a secret too.” Kaarina smirked knowing Lando is the worse at keeping secrets and was genuinely surprised they kept their relationship to themselves for so long.

“Hey!” Lando complained from getting teamed up on by one of his best mates and his girlfriend. Lando tried to poke Kaarina side where she’s ticklish but she caught his finger just in them giving him a warning look but all it did was making him grin and lean down and to kiss her forehead, He slid his arm around her shoulders letting her lean under his arm on his side.

Five.

Sebastian, Lance, Valterri, Esteban, Zhou, Yuki, Liam.

September 20, 2023

Kaarina had one of her hands on the steering wheel and the other intertwined with Lando laying on his thigh, The car was silent with the sound of August by Taylor swift playing on the radio, Kaarina lightly hummed to her favorite singers as she pulled in the parking lot, putting the car into park and shutting it off.

She grabbed her purse throwing the rental car keys into the bag grabbing her Christian Dior lip oil and about to open it when Lando gently took it from her hands, “Let me my love.”

Kaarina softly smiled watching Lando look so concentrated putting on her lip oli, one thing Lando loves to do is help her get ready, from learning how to use hair tools and do hair styles, to helping her get on a outift or zip a zipper, kneeling down to tie her shoe and he loves helping her with her makeup. Lando just loves being able to send time with his girlfriend and this gives him more time to do so.

“There perfect.” Lando grinned brushing back a stray hair of Kaarina’s golden blonde hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear, her hair curled into the perfect curls wearring a black and slight red dress and a velvet black blazer and all black stiletto heeled boots, with a all red Christian Dior purse, “You look beautiful.” Lando smiled watching Kaarina purse her lips to hide her blush making Lando fill with pride knowing he can still make her blush after three years.

“I know you told me already.” Kaarina softly snarked back having Lando tell her at least ever five minutes.

“Good.” Lando grinned cupping her cheek and kissing her lips softly before pulling back making her try and move forward pouting trying to reconnect their lips, “Sorry love we’re already late.” Lando smiled kissing her cheek before she cupped his face and gently wiped off the lip oil that transferred to his lips, before turning around and getting out the car.

The two walked up the stairs inside the building walking towards the elevator and sliding in with the door closing behind them with only the two of them in the elevator.

Lando leaned in the corner of the elevator as they waited for it to take them up all the way to the top of tall building, Kaarina walked towards Lando leaning her chin on his chest looking up at him making him smile as he tilted his head to kiss her forehead as Karina fingers fiddled with his turquoise shark tooth necklace that she got for him, the two gently pulled apart when the elevator dinged and the doors opened revealing the view from the top of the large skyscraper and its restaurant on the top floor, the view over looking japan.

They saw the restaurant empty expect for one big table and noticed almost ever driver from the grid was there, the two saw Roscoe curled up on a bed on a chair.

“There they are.” Daniel grinned seeing the two walk in about twenty minutes late as he gave them a suggestive eyebrow wiggle making Lando laugh and Kaarina roll her eyes.

Sebastian stood up shaking Landos hand before turning towards his niece, who grinned “Hi uncle Seb.” He smiled pulling her into a hug being reminded so much of his best friend, her mother Marie.

“Thank you for coming.” Seb grinned as Kaarina nodded in response before walking towards the only two seats open and one seat was next to Oscar and Kaarina quickly sat down in seat giving Lando a smirk.

“Hey he’s my teammate.” Lando squawked out in protest as he sat in the seat next to her and Alex.

“He’s my best friend.” Kaarina snarked back making Oscar chuckled quietly. Lando fondly rolled his eyes.

The next hour was filled with chatter and conversation as they all got their dinner served to them, Sebastian who is in town for the race as well, invited all the drivers for a dinner after media day to talk with them all and see how everyone is doing.

Roscoe woke up sticking his nose in the air smelling a scent and jumping up and running around the table to Kaarina and hitting his paw on her chair making her look down seeing Roscoe looking at her she stood up and kneeled down in front of the dog shaking his paw before giving him pets, making him roll onto the ground on his back.

“Hi boy.” Kaarina smiled as she pet him, Kaarina always been a big dog person but hasn’t had time to have a dog or go get a dog.

Lewis looked up seeing Roscoe out of his bed and saw Kaarina kneeling down with his dog, Lewis smiled knowing Roscoe adores Kaarina and the feeling is extremely mutual. Kaarina stood back up and sat back in her chair as the waiters came out with dessert plates, as many of the drivers just raced in Singapore and have weight to play with so they can have a few cheat meals or snacks.

“Thank you.” Kaarina said as the plate was put in front of her a freshly baked warm double chocolate brownie with homemade caramel drizzle on top, one of her favorite desserts. Lando got the simple vanilla ice cream as he’s the most picky of all of them but Kaarina’s looked really good so he grabbed his spoon and snuck it on her plate and grabbed a put quickly bringing the spoon to his mouth.

Kaarina chuckled watching Lando try and sneak a bite she fondly rolled her eyes scooping a bit and putting in front of his mouth for him, “You know you could have asked and i would of gave it to you.” Kaarina whispered looking at Lando, watching him take the bite off her spoon.

Lando smiled simply shrugging his shoulders, “Yeah but i got you to laugh so i like my idea better.” Kaarina softy smiled trying to keep her cheeks from turning red.

Sebastian who turned from his conversation from the sound of his niece laugh saw her smiling at Lando, not even surprised knowing Lando is extremely special to her as she brought him many times to meet her family and when her mother was alive Kaarina would bring Lando to see her as Marie always loved Lando like a son. Marie always said Lando would be the one for Kaarina as he brought out a side of her no one else ever has.

Lando most of made a good joke because Kaarina and Lando were dying of laughter, the two laughing so hard attracting the rest of the table’s attention towards them, most of the table had barely see Kaarina truly laugh, besides a fake PR laugh.

Kaarina giggled leaning forward learning forward resting her forehead on Lando’s arm, as the two tried to catch their breaths.

If one of the drivers haven’t realized the two are together by now it was obvious watching the two, how they were in their own world, Lando kissing a kiss to her forehead as she easily leaning into it, Kaarina resting her head on Lando’s shoulder or arm, or maybe the way the two looked at each other.

No one had ask anymore questions as the actions spoke loud enough.

The night seemed to end quickly and before everyone knew it they were heading back to their hotel room, Lando and Kaarina stood in a elevator alone, Kaarina leaning her head on his arm.

“Think the rest of them figured it out.” Kaarina lips turned in a small smirk.

“For sure, there’s no way they didn’t.” Lando chuckled, the two having planned to let the rest of the grid figured out about them.

“Good.” Kaarina nodded.

“Good.” Lando smirked questioning her.

“Good.” Kaarina smirked back lifting her head from his arm and standing in front of him wrapping her arms around Lando’s neck and her fingers tugging on his hair on the bottom of his neck, She leaned towards him pressing her lips tightly against his feeling Lando’s smile grow as they kissed.

+One.

September 23, 2023

“KAARINA YOU ARE A TWO TIME WORLD CHAMPION!!” Lewis shouted happily though the radio, Kaarina brightly grinned as her hands shook happily around her steering wheel, she slowly slowed down the car going through through her cool down lap.

“Thank you, thank you everyone on the team, everyone back at the factory, thank you Toto and Susie, thank you George for being a great teammate and thank you Lewis i couldn’t of done this without you.” Kaarina voice calm despite being the opposite right now, her car parked in the number one spot as she quickly unbluckled throwing her steering weel on the side of the car quickly standing up and standing on her car throwing her hands in air listening to the cheers fill her ears and catching sight of her father standing proudly with a smile gracing his face, a site not seen by many.

Kaarina jumped off her car kneeling to her tire and resting her forehead taking a minute to breath, while she was ecstatic to prove everyone wrong a second time all she wanted was her mother to have been able to see this.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Lando who’s viser was up and she could see his crinkled eyes that were watery as he looked at her, Kaarina stood up and Lando hugged her tightly spinning her around. Kaarina rested her forhead through her helmet on his shoulder as his gloved hand came to the back of her helmet holding her steadily.

“I’m so proud of you baby.” Lando voice shook as he spoke quietly to her holding her tightly a moment just the two of them before everyone stole her.

“Thank you.” Kaarina whispered back before gently pulling a way before putting her gloved hand on the cheek of Lando’s helmet feeling the flash of cameras not caring, before she felt a poke in the shoulder and turned seeing her best friend grinning, as he came P3 behind Lando and her.

Oscar was the first person who she choose to be her friend, her first teammate and someone who she would consider one of her best friends and someone she knows she will always have in her life.

“Glad i got to see this one K.” Oscar grinned his little grin putting his hand out for their handshake they have had since they were 9.

“Me too O.” Kaarina grinned back leaning into the side hug he gave her, Karina turned to the barricade where her team was celebrating, she uncliped her helmet pulling of her balaclava, she jogged over to her father stopping in front of him.

“I beat your record.” Karina cheekily smirked nonchalantly shrugging.

“Good.” Kimi responded smiling at his first born pulling her head to him and resting their foreheads together, the way they two show they love to each other, “I’m proud of you tytar.” Kimi whispered in Finnish to just his daughter ignoring everyone around them, “And so is she.” Kimi knew his best friend is so proud of their daughter from where she’s watching over the two.

“Thank you papa.” Kaarina blinked back the slight wet in her eyes.

“Go.” Kimi gently shoved her towards her team and the other drivers who were coming towards her. Kaarina nodded before turning and jogging at her team letting her self be patted on the back and shaking their hands, she got to the end of the barricade seeing Mick, Gina, Lewis and Toto.

“Well done.” Toto smiled pulling her into a hug patting her back, “Your proved everybody wrong again.” Toto grinned, he’s always been someone who supported her career being the first girl to get to formula one, get a podium win a race, and win a world championship not once but twice.

“Thank you.” Kaarina smiled slightly enjoying the happiness she’s feeling, she moved to Lewis moving first and hugging him tightly, Lewis has been her biggest supporter and became a friend she relied on and he has helped her a lot to win this year, “Thank you Lewis.”

“No thank you.” Lewis smiled being glad to watch her gain her dream for the second time and being able to help her achieve it.

Gina smiled wider when Kaarina looked at her, “Look at you superstar.” Kaarina smiled at her bestfriend accepting her hug and letting Gina rock her back and forth.

Kaarina turned towards Mick, who was grinning widely and looking so much like her godfather in that moment, Mick moved forward tightly hugging her godsister, “I’m so proud of you Mila, So is dad and aunty m.” Kaarina grip tightened on her god brother.

Kaarina pulled away smirking in a thank you, turning around seeing other drivers out and getting out of their cars, George who came in fourth that race already had his helmet off and was walking towards her.

“Well done Rina!” George smiled putting his hand out knowing she doesn’t love touching but Kaarina just fondly rolled her eyes before pulling her teammate in her arms, not that she would ever tell him but he’s always been an older brother to her.

“Thanks Georgie.” They pulled away from each other, she turned watching more of the drivers come and congratulate her.

Before she knew it she had already been drenched in champagne and been given her trophy, been through her after race interviews and conferences.

She was back in her hotel before going out later that night, she heard the key card reader going off and knew who it was as only one person has a card to her room, she stayed in the comfy hotel bed with her freshly clean hair still dripping wet from her cold shower.

“Kaar love!” Lando voice called out as he walked through the entrance of her large hotel suite, he heard the sound of her hum walking into the bedroom seeing her laying in the bed he smiled walking over watching her eyes look over at him, he sat on the bed leaning on the headboard as Kaarina moved close to him settling between his legs and cuddling into him, as Lando made sure the blanket stays over her.

Kaarina’s chin was settled on Lando’s chest as she looked at him feeling his eyes on her, “Hi.”

“Hi angel.” Lando smiled caressing her cheek before leaning down and beginning to pepper kisses all over her face, over and over muttering how proud he is and how much he loves her, Kaarina laughed as Lando kept kissing a ticklish spot under her jaw, Lando flipped them over his knees spread over her hips as his fingers carefully dug in the spot under her ribs and peppering kisses on her face.

Kaarina’s face was softened with laughter as Lando slowly began stopping tickling her. Lando smiled happy to hear his favorite sound and see his favorite site, her smile. He pressed one more kiss to her forehead as one of his hand intertwined with Kaarina’s bringing it to his mouth kissing the back of her hand and kissing her ring finger that was empty but hopefully in a few years it wasn’t.

Kaaarina looked at her boyfriend making her decision, “Let’s post pictures of us.” Kaarina deciding she wanted to just post their relationship as most of their friends and the grid have found about them now anyways.

Lando raised an eyebrow grinning, “Yeah?” Kaarina smiled nodding. Lando pulled out his phone turning it on the lock screen a photo of the back of Kaarina’s head as she faces the waves on the beach and opened the screen to reveal the home screen a selfie of the two of them where Kaarina’s hand is squeezing his cheeks and her lips are in a full smile with teeth and everything, it’s one of his favorite photos as they both of smiling and their eyes both look so happy.

Kaarina reached her hand out to the nightstand grabbing her phone, the front screen the photo of the two of them, where Lando has a backwards hat on and turned away from the camera and Kaarina is kissing his cheek hiding her face as her braid is half over her shoulder, her home screen a photo of the two of them where Lando has his arms wrapped around her from behind as his chin leaned down on her shoulder and they smiled at the camera.

The two both picked out a few of their favorite photos and both got them on their instagram, tagging each other and then posting them at the same time.

quinn twin sister request?????? with trevor as the love interest

shes younger then quinn and plays hockey as well, she was drafted second in 2018 to the ducks and then trevor joined in 2019 and was very happy the girl he’s been crushing on for years would be on the same team. Trevor has been boldly flirting with her since they met because of jack and trevor has had a huge crush on her forever and truthfully she always thought he was joking as trevor flirts with everyone and she never really felt anything romantic wise towards trevor for along whole, maybe after a few years of being on the same team and become good friends she starts caring more trevor more and seeing him rather than the side he shows everyone and the two started getting closer and eventually trevor was drunk and confessed he was never joking about his feelings for her and the reader knew then that she did feel more for trevor than platonic?? mayeb they finally get together or something and maybe a part two is everyone realizes they finally got together and trevor got the girl he’s in love with

oooo, I love this too!!! this is also like really long haha sorry.

ok so for background, she'll be quinn's twin and drafted like him in 2018. she goes in the 1st round like Quinn and goes 2nd to the ducks. they actually play at umich together and she decides to return for a second year like Quinn does.

Quinn and reader are literally in separable. since her and Quinn can't wear the same number, I think that she wears the family number of 6 bc Quinn did during his 18s year at the program.

and so she obvi meets trevor thru jack and them playing together at the program. trevor instantly thought she was beautiful and had tried flirting with her but it was never reciprocated. she knew of trevor's flirty personality so she did her best not to let it phase her.

after trevor got drafted by the ducks, the flirtiness of trevor started to crack her shell the more she had to see him.

Y/N's POV

It was no secret that my twin brother couldn't stand trevor zegras. and sometimes I didn't blame him. but after trevor got drafted to the ducks, I started trying to form a friendship with him. to give him a friendly for when he decides to join the ducks after playing at BU.

the first time trevor came out for dev camp, he was in the room next to me. we hung out pretty often before he went back to New York and I went back to michigan.

I had made the decision after I was drafted that when Quinn signed, I signed. Quinn signed after we got knocked out in the playoffs in 2019 and I signed the day after he made his debut. just so that I could be there to see it.

once I signed, everything was going good. I ended up crashing with one of the older guys for a few weeks while we finished out the season. I had my debut and even scored in it!

unlike my twin, I don't play defense. I'm a winger. I play the left side mostly but will occasionally play center. after trevor signed with the ducks he a good chunk of time in San Diego with the AHL team so I didn't really see him until February of that season.

when he came up from the Gulls, I offered him the extra room that I have so that he has a friendly face. he jumped at the opportunity. we grew closer during that season and I could've sworn he was actually flirting with me.

turns out he was.

but that summer was radio silence from him. I didn't hear from him at all from the time we left Anaheim until the time we had to go back for training camp. I was sad and kinda heartbroken.

I had realized like a month after him living with me that I had feelings for trev but I guess he didn't reciprocate. I kinda just closed myself off from my brothers, especially jack and Quinn, that whole summer.

they were confused but gave me my space. it was hard to explain to jack that I had feelings for his best friend and to Quinn that I had feelings for the guy that he can't stand. I head out to Anaheim early that year to avoid talking about it with my brothers.

turns out, trevor had decided to go early too. I get to my house and find trevor's car there and all of his shit inside. I yell out, "trev?"

"Y/N? that you?"

"yea." I yell back. I mumble under my breath, "this is my house." i roll my eyes and bring my bags in to start unpacking. he comes into the living room after I grab everything from my car. he asks, "I didn't know you were coming back today?"

"and I didn't know that you were coming back early either."

he doesn't say anything but grabs some of my bags and brings them to my room for me. I smile at him and throw all my hockey stuff in the garage. I check the fridge and see that there's no food. not that I was expecting there to be. I see trevor walk in and say, "how long have you been here?"

"yesterday."

"and you didn't think to go food shopping?"

"no. I just got chipotle instead. I don't know how to food shop and I know you have a specific way of doing things and I didn't wanna mess that up."

"you could've asked trev. just like you could've told me that you were gonna be coming back early and would be here yesterday."

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it mattered. I figured you would be sticking around in michigan for as long as possible to help Luke move in." he says and sits at the counter. I sigh and shake my head at him. I have no words to even say to him. he asks, "hey, what's going on?"

"nothing Trevor. nothing that concerns you at least. I'm gonna go food shopping. text me if you want anything."

"wait. what do you mean nothing that concerns me? did something happen this summer?"

"no trev. nothing happened. that's the fucking problem."

"what do you mean?"

"where have you been? I graciously let you live with me during your rookie season so that you have a friendly face and after living with me for 3 months, you go radio silent from me. your best friends with my fucking brother and live with me during hockey season but you can't even bother to text me every once in a while. I thought we were friends. I thought we were closer than that."

"I...don't even know what to say."

"an explanation would be nice. you know what, save it. I'm gonna go get food for the fridge, and do what I originally came here for, to get some fucking alone time."

I grab my keys and leave. I go get gas and then go to the grocery store. I take my sweet time while I'm out to avoid going back home to trevor. it's not that I don't wanna see him, it's just I spent so much time trying to forget about my feelings for him which was way easier when he wasn't in the next room for me.

I eventually make it back to my house and unload the food into the house. trevor helps me bring everything in but can tell that I don't want his help and so he leaves me alone.

later on I'm sitting on the roof just enjoying the view when trevor comes out, clearly having the same idea. when he sees me he says, "oh I didn't know you were up here. do you want me to go?"

"no you can stay. I'm getting tired anyways."

"are you avoiding me?"

"like you did to me this summer? yea I am. I came back early to get away from my brothers because they've been insufferable and I didn't have the one person around who usually makes it better. I'm not doing this right now trevor."

"y/n come on. at least let me explain." he calls after me. I ignore him and just go back inside. I hear him follow after me. he says, "y/n wait." he catches up and grabs my wrist, turning me to face him. he looks down at me and I realize how close we actually are.

I look up at him and next thing I know, he's leaning down to kiss me. my hands instantly go to the back of his head to pull him closer. when he pulls away, he's smiling. he rests his forehead against mine and says, "this is why I avoided you. Quinn advised me not to come and he scares me. I like you y/n, I always have. I just never thought I stood a chance because I'm just your little brother's best friend. I was planning to ask you this summer but Quinn asked me not to come so I didn't. I'm sorry. I should've called or something and I know I fucked up but I really do like you y/n."

"I like you too trev. I have for a while. you were never just my little brother's best friend. you're mine too. and I fell for you, hard."

"me too. so let's give this a shot?" he asks. I nod and kiss him softly. I say when we pull away, "let's give this a shot. but we gotta keep it from the team. I'm the first woman in the nhl, I don't need word getting out that I'm dating a teammate just yet."

"ok. should I find somewhere else to live?"

"no. we'll figure this out trev. together. but you have to talk to me and not shut me out anymore."

"I won't I promise."

"good. now kiss me again." I say and he instantly captures my lips with his. that's how we spent the rest of the night, kissing and being wrapped up in each other. and then tomorrow I'll be ripping Quinn a new one about telling trevor not to come out to the house this summer.

Beginning of college, 2019

Having all of your friends chant the same name every time you met to decide where to celebrate the beginning of another chapter of your lives was starting to give you a bit of a headache. Vegas here, Vegas there. It wasn't that the city didn't appeal to you; heck, you were as excited as them, but you were also scared—so many things could happen in one week, and you weren't usually the luckiest one when it came to stuff like this. You could even imagine yourself drunkenly marrying someone you hopefully won't ever see again, and though what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, that would remain tattooed on your heart as well. And despite your friends acknowledging your hesitation and saying that you should decide where to go, for the first time in a while, you agreed to go with the flow and see what was waiting for you there. 

Said and done. Your little vacation in Vegas has started better than you would have expected; the first days were pretty chill, the rainy weather making you stay indoors more than not, which you enjoyed; you weren't quite a big fan of parties, so that was more than perfect for you, despite wanting to visit and see more of what the city had to offer. 

The next few days though, were going to be the interesting ones. The beach was full of decorations for the upcoming party, the shy shadow of a moon settling itself on the sky. The sand was hugged by the blue waves of the sea, while your friends started to make conversations with the other late teenagers, wanting to have some fun. The atmosphere seemed to have a different effect on you, though—you find it quite suitable for you to reflect over your future, the comforting noise of the beach cleaning your mind; or at least intending to do so, unless you heard your name from your friend's loud voice. 

"C'mon, Y/n, you can't stay here all night and do nothing. We came here to have fun…" Wooyoung said, a bit of anxiety in his voice as he feared you didn't feel good with their choice of coming here. "Is there something off?" 

You smiled at him, making him relax a bit, though he wasn't entirely convinced that you were feeling it. "I'm fine, Woo. I was just thinking…" 

You heard another voice coming from behind you, your other friend's arms patting your back softly. 

"Y/n, the future is something you can worry about after this trip. You worked hard to get where you are now, so consider this your reward. Furthermore, I'm getting married tonight!" 

Despite laughing at how determined she was to make her dream come true, her advice might have actually helped you a bit—so, on an impulse, you grabbed Wooyoung's hand and got up, grabbing a can of beer for yourself and going to the big crowd of people. 

Later on, you forgot about whatever happened before you joined them. Everyone's jokes were getting the loudest laughter out of you, your tipsy nature showing already. More chaos was summoned the moment your friend chose to fake a marriage with a dimpled-smile boy for fun, getting you responsible for the rings, which you gladly accepted. And that's when plans changed for you—when, guided by your excitement, you ran into a tall man, his eyes shooting you a worried look immediately. 

"Are you okay?" he asked, hand on your back to give you some support so you wouldn't fall. 

The stars in his eyes made something sparkle inside of you as well, and knowing yourself and how you attach to people, this was what you feared the most before coming here. 

"I'm fine…" you whispered, looking away from him as soon as you noticed him looking back. 

"May I ask why you were in such a hurry?" he chuckled, moving his hand away from your back since he was scared that it would make you uncomfortable. 

"My friends are getting married and I need to buy the ringssss!" you squealed, pointing your finger to the happy couple. 

"San is marrying your friend?" 

"The dimple guy is your friend?" 

You two laughed together, an echo of innocent chuckles around you as you discovered a thing you two had in common. 

"Let's go together, then." he smiled and offered you his hand to hold, which you gladly accepted. 

On your way to finding whatever would serve as two rings, you found out that his name was Yunho and he was the chill type as well, resembling you. They were there to celebrate San's birthday, so he was all around the place, hoping time would pass just a little faster. His other friend, Mingi, was a party lover since they knew him, and something about his attitude made Yeosang love them too after a few glasses of alcohol. Jongho was usually chill, but he let go of his personality for the sake of the birthday boy. You told him that your friends were similar as well, Wooyoung being the type to go clubbing and convince Seonghwa and Hongjoong to follow him (mostly because he was a menace), while your common friend loved getting herself some new friends.

"Do you want to go take a walk after they are done?" he smiled, convincing you almost immediately. 

"I would love to." you said, returning his gesture. 

Two hours later, the wedding was "officiated" by his friend, Mingi, who seemed to have a lot of fun while playing that role, with some of the drinks packaging serving as the papers the married couple had signed. You and Yunho went for the walk he promised, admiring the stars cladded sky while finding new stuff about each other. 

"Do you think they will regret anything in the morning?" you asked, gaining a soft grin from him. 

"Even if they do, it's nothing official anyway. We would probably make fun of Mingi for the rest of our lives though." he said, before entering another mantra of silent thoughts: "When are you leaving?" 

"In two days, what about you?" 

"Three. I still have a bit of a long ride, but at least I have someone similar now." 

You honestly thought that time flew faster than it should have with Yunho by your side. You were supposed to have fun with your 5 friends, yet, you found yourself screaming old songs' lyrics while Yunho was driving around the city, turning the chilly ride into a Carpool Karaoke wannabe. You even got yourselves matchy bracelets, something about your bond making you feel like you have known each other for years. You took pictures together, tested the diners around the hotel you stayed in, swam together, all under the nosy looks of your friends (who bonded immediately as well, especially because Wooyoung and San seemed to become best friends and your friend didn't stop calling San her husband).

And as much as you wished for these two days to last forever, these beautiful moments end faster than we expect. For the last time, you were out with Yunho, the cold water touching your legs as you shared your impressions on this holiday, in the last 5 minutes you had together. His head was on your lap while you played with his blonde hair, listening to him saying he was gonna miss this, miss you.

"You know… I've had an idea…"

You looked at him with doe eyes, showing him that he had all of your attention.

"Do you think we are meant to be? I mean, we still have to pursue our careers, we live in different states…"

It was way too early to think about what future was planned for you and Yunho, if there was even a future for the two of you. You did feel like you two were completing each other, but the time you spent together wasn't helping you, nor the conditions you'd be in as soon as you return to your usual life.

"You might be the right person, but our time was too short to even figure it out, Yunho." you looked away from him, avoiding his saddened gaze.

"What if we meet again in 4 years?" he innocently asked, getting up from your lap so he could properly face you. "Same place, same date, but in 4 years. That would be enough for us to figure out what we want to do with our lives, to see what would happen."

You frowned a bit at his offer, there was no way he was serious, was he?

"That's insane, Yunho. What if we will find someone else in those years?"

"Well then, this would mean the inevitable—we weren't meant to be."

You didn't have the nerve, nor the time to think about this too much. You were sure that things would settle differently until then, but you chose to go with the flow once again.

"Let's do that, Yunho. May we meet again." you smiled and kissed his cheek, going to your friends who were already waiting for you.

"May we meet again…" he said, touching his cheek in the spot you kissed it before.

End of college, 2023

"I still cannot believe you two did it like the oldies. What are you? Millennials? You had all the possibilities to talk, yet you chose to not even get his number!"

"Woo, stop—"

"Even when San offered to give me Yunho's number, you refused it!"

A laugh took over your face as you looked at Wooyoung, not believing he was really scolding you right then for what you and Yunho decided. Yet, there you were, the taxi almost passing the speed limit as you were pleading him to take you faster to the beach where it all started.

Yunho was nervously walking back and forth on the sand, with San following his every move.

"Can you stop already…? You're making me dizzy." the younger said, watching as his friend was walking further from him.

"Yunho, listen to me! I know it's past the time, but… give it another shot, it doesn't have to be perfect to turn into something beautiful!"

Yunho looked at him, a soft smile creeping on his face.

"I guess I should trust you… you seem to have your way with words."

San smirked at that, a little dimple appearing on his cheek as he went and hugged his friend. And right when he opened his eyes, he saw two pretty familiar figures running towards them, his face lightning immediately in joy.

"WOOYOUNG!" he screamed, pushing Yunho and going to the other boy, hugging him tight.

Yunho turned to his direction, noticing the joyful reunion of the best friends, and lastly, but who he expected the most, you.

You took in his features, his dark hair making him look even better than when you last saw him.

"You came."

You both said at the same time, giggling shortly after you noticed that your chemistry was still there.

"Would have been here earlier, but the traffic was insane."

His hands grabbed your waist softly, his deep gaze scanning your beautiful features.

"I guess we were… meant to be, or whatever?" you asked, hands around his neck.

"Someone got a bit bold." he smirked, getting closer to your face.

"Well, I seem to be stuck with you, so I gotta charm you somehow."

In a blink of an eye, your lips pressed together, melting into a sweet kiss, full of longing, but also relief—the relief that things worked for you.

"Love birdies, we're still on a beach, public space, you know?" San said cockily, giving Wooyoung a high-five.

"Said the one who almost crushed his long lost friend."

"That's a story for another day!" Wooyoung defended himself.

"That's right, because the main story is about me and my future lover today." Yunho smiled, hugging you close to his chest once again.

"Come, love, we have a lot to catch up on." you dragged him after you, leaving Woo and San flabbergasted behind.

Maybe destiny has its way of working, and those ways are different for every couple. For you and Yunho, it proved that the distance couldn't extinguish the flame between the two of you, the touch of heaven making you grow more found of each other, waiting for the next plans the future had with you.

Interesting (All Might) fic finds

Cute/Slice of life fics:

Slightly Cracked by Krisington

Really sweet, a bit bitter at the start.

The more Izuku made friends at UA, the more he realized that All Might was just as friendless as he himself had always been. Despite All Might's insistence otherwise, Izuku found this to be completely unacceptable.

Secret Identity fics:

Yagi-Sensei by Swiftwidget (or also HERE)

<3

A short drabble inspired by a post by alicekaninchenbau on tumblr. An AU in which "All Might" was not hired to teach at U.A. but instead Toshinori Yagi teaches Foundational Hero Studies and no one but Principal Nedzu, Recovery Girl, and Izuku know he is All Might. Toshinori actually does come through the door like a normal person.

Mr Yagi by Swiftwidget

Amazing, makes me smile every time.

Mr. Toshinori Yagi from the Second Secretarial Office: A kind, generous man with an uncanny knowledge about the Might Tower Staff who never hesitated to make their days brighter. At least, that's how they knew him. / Inspired by the Vigilante 006 Beta chapter in which Detective Tsukauchi meets Toshinori Yagi at Might Tower for the first time.

Missing Everything by Haptronym

Izuku misses a very important reveal and ends up with a villain-filled soda bottle instead. In the ensuing chaos, he befriends someone named Toshinori Yagi. All Might misses the chance to make a snap decision and ends up mentoring a very heroic, very determined child who has no idea who he really is.

No Such Thing As a Hopeless Case by Origamidragons

I read this fic ages ago and it has lived rent-free in my brain since then. Dead since 2019, but what is written is worth reading.

The story of how Toshinori Yagi (not All Might, Toshinori Yagi) singlehandedly defeated his archenemy's League of Villains by accidentally adopting them all. Or: Toshinori's gonna redemption arc everybody, just watch him.

GOT THIS POWER THAT IS TAKING ME OUT (shall I go now? you'll like it, you'll be the hero) by canbreathe, debesys (canbreathe)

Heart-warming.

<<"You do not have any kind of teaching qualification, do you Yagi-san?" "I, um," he desperately grabs at straws, "cleaning? I've done. Cleaning.">> All Might, or rather, Yagi Toshinori, becomes a janitor at U.A. It goes much better than expected.

Badass Small Might:

to measure time by sundefeater lou (sundefeater)

Dad Might becomes feral.

Five minutes. Five goddamned minutes. He had just wanted to restock some essential supplies at the nearby konbini while Izuku got some much needed rest with the aid of the last of the cold tablets and a cool compress. Or: Izuku is sick, the villains don't care, and Toshinori has had it up to here with these assholes.

Mr. Yagi by writers_writers

Beginning of manga-Bakugou learns some practical lessons.

With Aizawa still out of commission on the Monday after the USJ attack, the question is, who is going to teach Class 1-A. All might is out recuperating as well and the rest of the teachers are already stretched thin working on the security on top of their own classes. The kids are shaken and on edge from the devastating events the week prior and need someone with a steady hand and a kind voice to get them back to a sense of normality. It's a good thing that All Might's secretary offered to come in for the day just to keep an eye on them.

Yagi-san by soulofdarkandlight

All Might finds a way to be a hero without using his quirk.

When Nedzu asks All Might to retire, he surprisingly agrees. Little does he realize, it's All Might who agreed, not Yagi.

Harmony in War by Quisanne

(Restricted to AO3 users) Dad-Might and Dad-Zawa for your enjoyment. Also some Bakugrowth towards the end. I just love Aizawa's POV.

Aizawa and All Might go on a warpath to raze Aldera Middle School to the ground. A story in which Aizawa is the one smiling at people and All Might is the one intimidating everyone.

Dadmight:

The Best Day by Nicnac

So cute! All fluff with a tiny bit of angst in the predictable place. Worth a thousand reads.

All Might saves Izuku from the slime villain when the boy is only four years old. Things proceed accordingly.

Quirkless Yagi Toshinori:

Thunder by Hayato (TheLennyBunny)

Yagi Toshinori manages to become a quirkless hero in the harsh world of his youth.

This Autor has a whole mountain of amazing fics.

In this universe, he never meets anyone. He sits as an island, isolated, standing with stacks of notebooks and muscles gained from years of self-defense. He tells his middle school counsellor he wants to be a hero, and she laughs in his face.

Angst / Harsh fics (no bad endings):

Statistic by aconstantstateofbladerunner

When victims and bystanders are gaslighted into believing it's their fault, help is difficult to come by.

In a world where All for One was defeated the first time around, new villainous groups are constantly bubbling up just under the surface of society. New crimes need new tactics, so in an effort to flush out an alleged anti-quirkless group, All Might decides to go undercover as Yagi Toshinori, quirkless middle school teacher. But Toshinori hasn't been quirkless in a long time, and he learns the hard way how much things have changed.

Toshishan and Baby 'Zuku (I Know How the World Treat Us) by 18ems_girl

Super-cute! And it has some iteresting character studies.

A de-aging quirk affects Izuku and Toshinori and, while baby Izuku is happy to meet heroes, teen Toshinori is scared because he knows people treat quirkless kids awful.

Humour:

When Monologuing To Your Nemesis Goes Wrong by Ilentari

Crack. Also SPOILERS.

Ugh, he didn’t want to be subjected to this boring monologue anymore. Perhaps this was All For One’s plan? Rant to him until his ears began to bleed? All For One cleared his throat and started back up where he left off, and All Might sighed in irritation. “Why are you like this?” he groaned, wanting the villain to shut up. All For One initially had seemed annoyed by the interruption, but quickly brightened at the question. “I’m glad you asked!” He flourished his hands dramatically. “You see, once upon a time there was a baby born as evil as one could be—” That was stupid. All Might snorted. “Babies aren’t born evil.”

Take My Place on the Witness Stand by Quisanne

Hilarious. (Restricted to AO3 users) I also recomend the rest of the Series.

[Officer] Name, age, current address, and quirk, please, if you would. [Suspect] I'm afraid I can’t tell you most of these things. [Officer] Oh? And why would that be, I wonder? Would it allow us to track you down and find your stash of other stolen IDs? [Suspect] ...It's a matter of national security. [Officer] Yeah sure, and my mother is a late descendant of the Emperor. ----- OR: Yagi Toshinori gets arrested for having All Might's possessions on him and his friends are amazingly incompetent at getting him out. Maybe they're having too much fun with this.

The Torrid Affair of All Might and Yagi Toshinori by Speedwagons_Glorious_Mane

Super-fun.

It's the perfect cover. No one will ever suspect that All Might and Yagi Toshinori are the same person if everyone thinks they're dating.

Healing (literally):

Flashback by Psyckosama

Amazingly self-indulgent. A bit spicy at times. Really well written even if at first it seems it will be a chaotic fic.

On the day Izuku Midoriya was to receive All Might's quirk, the sacred torch of One for All, a young girl glowing with a corona of power runs up to the mentor and student yelling for them to stop as she desperately contains the energy within her. After pleading with Izuku to, impossibly, take One for All from *her*, she lays the weak and crippled Toshinori Yagi's hand upon her sparking horn and All Might is reborn in his prime. But who is this mysterious girl, how did she know the fateful exchange that would be taking place on that isolated beach, and what ominous portents does her appearance that day fortell?
