𝗗𝗪 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 "𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗲"

Characters: Jake, Richy, Dan, Thomas, Phil, Alan

Warnings: None, I guess. Phil got slightly suggestive but it's Phil so. Oh, and no beta read.

A/n: Hey, look what this is. A little, silly, headcanon thingy. What can I say? No idea how I came up with it. But I was bored. Don't expect too much. It's small and it's silly, as I said. Hope you like it anyway. 💚

𝗝𝗔𝗞𝗘

Oh boy, he would freeze on the spot and be unable to move.

He would stare at the table as if he could set it on fire with his eyes. Although he has clearly heard the nickname, his mind needs a few more moments until it has seeped through every cell of his body and the real meaning breaks over him.

You could swear the man is starting to shake with tension.

He is completely shocked that you give someone like him a pet name and indirectly express your feelings for him.

On the inside he explodes with joy and in his imagination a tear rolls over his cheek which he holds back in reality with everything he has.

Either way, he would be absolutely powerless against the crooked grin which is slowly creeping over his lips, so he does nothing but let it happen.

He has clenched his hands into fists and his cheeks turn slightly red in embarrassment but he has to hear it again.

"Can you repeat it?" he would whisper with broken voice.

You would of course repeat it and it would burn into his memory and he is one hundred percent sure that this is the most beautiful thing he has ever heard.

If possible his love for you would increases even further and if you would ask him right now to commit a murder for you then he would only ask which weapon you want him to use.

If he were to stand, his knees would probably give in and he would collapse.

He’s completely at your mercy.

𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗬

Pah, the hyperactive rubber ball would lose all composure.

He would look at you with the widest grin and you would be worried that his cheeks would tear open as much as he smiles at you.

He would wrap his arms around you to pull you happily in for a hug. Probably the hug is a little too tight.

He would kiss your forehead and then rattle down all the pet names he can think of to test what would be the best name for you and how it feels to pronounce it.

He would continue without interruption throughout the entire day.

𝗗𝗔𝗡

Pff, Dan is a macho.

That man would immediately start grinning like the greatest charmer and would tease you with it.

"Well, see, see, babe it is now, huh? Took long enough. But I’ve known for a very long time that you call me that every night in your dreams, I mean, how could you not"

He would smirk sinfully before placing his arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to kiss you.

Then he would whisper "I love you too, babe" against your lips.

𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗦

What should happen? The guy’s a puppy through and through.

He would look at you like he was your pet and you just showed him his favorite little toy and he would be waiting for you to finally throw it so he can bring it back to you happily.

You can swear that you see his eyes getting a little wetter but he would say "I have something in my eye" to distract but you know of course that it’s just an excuse and would have to grin about it.

He would kiss you gently and tell you how much he loves you, of course not without also using a pet name for you.

In his head, however, he already plans that you both move into an apartment together, how you get married and have children and lead the happiest life until the end of your life.

𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡

First of all, he would warn you and ask you how many times he has told you not to use his police radio at home to "call" him. He has a private phone with which you can make calls very well.

But then he would have to concentrate completely on not grinning broadly and would tell you that in his lunch break would come home so that you can continue talking there.

The rest of the shift he’d be a little grinning idiot no matter what case he’s working on.

After he came home, he would wink at you and confess how much he enjoyed you calling him that and telling you to always call him that.

Of course, you will do it with utmost pleasure. Of course, you'll be using the police radio.

𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗟

He would smile cheekily and answer you. But of course not without using the same pet name at the end of his sentence and emphasizing it extra strongly.

He would stop cleaning the bar to come around the counter grab you by your hips.

Of course he would kiss you and then whisper in your ear.

"Babe? That’s fucking hot, I think I can go home earlier tonight, the others can do the rest on their own. We should go home urgently."

It's obvious that he would wink at you.

[incorrectnessduskwood]

Phil: I think we should kiss. MC: And I think you should die but we don’t always get what we want.

Pregnant MC waking up at 1 am craving for something.

MC: Jake, babe. Wake up!

Jake: Mmmm... babe, what is it?

MC: I want it. I want it right now. I need to touch it.

Jake: MC, it's 1 am. Can you just wait until later? I promise as soon as you wake up it's there.

MC: No! I want it right now!

Jake: Ok fine!

Jake talking to someone on the phone.

Jake: Hello, it's happening again.

XXXX: What? Common man! I'm working here. Can you try to do something with that?

Jake: Don't you think I did? And let me remind you that I hate this but what can I do, it's what my pregnant wife's craving. I can't go against her. Do it or I'll hack your bank account.

XXXX: Agh fine! Give me a few minutes.

Jake ended the call. After a while, someone rang their doorbell. Jake went to the door to get it and he let the person in.

Jake: She's in our room.

The person went inside the room and Jake followed him.

MC: Phil! I'm so happy to see you!

Phil: I wish I could say the same. I want to see you MC but not like this. At this time and with your weird craving. But here, you can touch my hair!

MC started to caress Phil's hair.

MC: Awww, thank you Phil. Wow, your hair is really silky. What's your conditioner again?

Phil and Jake both just sighed.

A/N: I don't know what's gotten into my mind but I just had to write it. 🤭 Yes, it's a really weird craving. 😂

[littlemomotian]

I missed drawing these two so I made them having a date at a club

[lyon-amore]

I don't know what expectations there are for Phil to be in the side story as another protagonist, I imagine him rather thanking us for helping him, asking us if we have a boyfriend and that's it, he says goodbye and does not return throughout the game

But if Everbyte decides to leave him as another character for the story, I think it would rather serve for a plot in which they make us choose between a complicated romantic relationship with Jake and one that there would be no problems with Phil because he doesn't run away from anything and has a stable life, owning a bar, and that we could see each other whenever we wanted, which would make Jake tell us that it is the best option, causing Jake's positive thoughts about our relationship to fade after what happened at the end. He wouldn't want to give us that life.

But come on, I prefer Jake who talks to you like you're a goddess than Phil who asked his sister where we lived instead of us because he wants to fu—

Thoughts caused because the chat I'm going to have is Phil's soon

Eternal love - Chapter 4

A/N: Sorry for such the long delay on this chapter. Between taking a break mentally on everything and getting sick I had ideas but could not right. This chapter is not exactly what i wanted for but things don't always go as planned.

Everything with Phil has been going great, it's been a fun couple of weeks going on dates and waking up next to him. I would never admit this to anyone but he is something nice to look at.  However this morning, I find myself wanting more. Phil has admitted he doesn’t want to settle down and I can’t blame him. He has a reputation to keep up in this town and as a bar owner. 

I’m home today alone and I pull out my phone. For some reason I never deleted a picture of Jake and I, you can’t see his face but I know it's him. My heart starts to break all over again. I put my phone down and go and make myself another cup of coffee trying to get my mind to focus on work.

Jakes POV: Last time I reached out to her she told me she never wanted to see or hear from me again. I can’t blame her but I have to know she’s safe. I look at my laptop and see she’s home. It's where she has been lately. I’m 200 miles away in colville to keep distance between us because if I see her face I’m going to lose it and run to her.

I take a sip of coffee as I watch my screen between tracking her and my pursuers. I’ve had little sleep but I need to make sure they stay away from her. I realized they were only close to her last time because I was so I stayed away. Everything in my heart is telling me to run to her and kiss her one more time but her safety will always be my importance. I just don’t see what she see’s in Phil still. She told me I didn’t have to worry about him and yet they are together, at least for now. 

I know guys like him, he will mess up and she will walk away. I had learned things about her and she isn’t one to give second chances. I hope I can be the expectation that once I get everything cleared up because god how I miss that smile as she looks at me with those eyes. The touch of her hands on my face that is used to being covered by this mask. She saw me and while I should be worried that someone is going to come after her I can’t let her into this life with me. That's why I ran all those weeks ago from her. I knew she would hate me for it but it was the only way I could keep her safe.

MC POV:

It’s been a couple hours and I finally got work done today, thankfully my boss hasn’t noticed me slacking lately. I keep telling myself I won’t go down the rabbit hole of finding a way to help Jake but I find myself on the dark web. He had shown me some of it when we were together so I found myself in a forum. I never post or talk to anyone but I hope to know he is okay.

I finally about to close when I see a notification pop up: “if anyone knows where Nym is or that girl he is with there is reward for him alive”

Shit, shit, shit. He’s already with someone else and they are looking for him and her. I grab my phone and I still have his number saved. I go to type something when I see he comes online and I stop. 

“No MC you are not to get caught up in his issues” I say aloud to myself. As I delete his number this time and delete the account I created in that chat form.

I take a deep breath and I call Phil up. He answers and I hear him already in the bar. “Hey love” he says.

“Hey, I was hoping to catch you before the bar opened but I guess I'm a bit late tonight.” I say sadly.

“You can always come stop by, once one of my employees comes in we can head upstairs.” I hear that sly smile of his.

“No, I should rest. Today was a rough day at work and I haven’t eaten except for drinking coffee and a protein bar,” I say with a sigh.

“I’ll make it up to you” he says as I hear him helping a customer.

‘Its okay really. I’ll come stop by in the morning tomorrow as I don’t have work.”

‘Okay see you then love, goodbye” he says as he hangs up.

“Goodbye” I say into the phone to noone.

I go and order myself some takeout and decide to do a little bit of cleaning as I throw on my favorite playlist at the moment. I hear my phone go off but I decide to ignore it. I need to stop jumping at my phone everytime it goes off. It's a bad habit I got into with Jake as I always wanted to talk to him. I hear the doorbell ring and the food is there. As I’m about to close the door a hand stops me and I see it’s Dan and Jessy.

“I tried calling you, boo,” says Dan.

“Sorry I was doing some cleaning,’ I say with a sigh as I let them in and put the food down. “What's going on?” I am concerned they are both here.

He pulls out his phone and there's a text message from an unknown sender. 

???: Tell us where nymos girl is and no one gets hurt

“I didn’t answer because I know you're not his anymore but obviously someone else didn’t get the message and you're in danger. Have you heard from hackerboy?” Dan asks.

I look at him and Jessy concerned, “no not for a couple weeks. I deleted his contact from my phone because he’s part of my past now” I say as I turn around to grab my food.

“Well someone things you're still his, MC” says Jessy.

“Well I’m NOT! I don’t care what he’s up to anymore, for all we know he could be someone new.” I yell.

Dan looks at Jessy, “what's going on? Don’t tell us anything because we know you MC.” Dan states.

“I still miss him okay! I thought he was my eternal love and he walked away from me. I thought we could work through whatever issues we had but he decided to run away instead of fighting for us. So I'm trying to do the same.” I cry out.

“Is that what this is with Phil?” asks Jessy.

“Phil is just something fun for now. There is no end game with him and I plan on breaking it off tomorrow.” I say with a sigh.

Dan comes up and wraps his arms around me. “MC, you still love him don’t you?” he asks

The tears fall and I lean into Dan’s chest. “How am I supposed to stop loving the man that my soul is made for?” I ask looking up at him.

“It won’t be easy but you will make it through I promise you.” he says.

We enjoy a night watching movies and eatting dinner while also playing some games.

I wake up the next morning and remember I have to go over to Phil’s Jessy and Dan are still there so I make up coffee and leave them a note. I head over there and knock on the door.

“Morning” he says as he answers the door in just sweatpants with that sly smile.

“Phil, can we talk?” I ask

“You're not happy are you?” he asks

“No, it was fun. I won’t deny that but my heart isn’t in it. I need more time to get over him. I’m sorry” I say looking down.

“It’s okay,we both knew this was just something fun. No hard feelings.”

“Thanks Phil, I’ll see you around.” I say with a soft smile.

Midnight Cravings

This story was born from a writing prompt I received from @layanasstories (thank you <3 ).

It plays after the events of EP10 but has no direct tie-in or spoilers whatsover. Enjoy!

It was shortly after midnight, when MC rounded a corner and finally realized where she was. She had snuck out of Jessys apartment to get some fresh air. After a while she had to confess to herself, that wandering the streets in the mddle of the night was not a smart idea. She was lost.

But now she could see the front of the Aurora and wondered if it was still open. As she approached the bar, she saw Phil coming out and locking up. “Hey there stranger”, she called out. To her surprise, Phil got startled, dropping his keys. “What the hell MC! What are you doing running around at this hour scaring innocent citizens?” He picked up his keys and locked up. “I went for a walk and somehow ended up here.” MC shrugged. “I see you're done for the day.” ”Yes,” Phil replied. “I was about to head home. But now that you are here...” He put his index finger to his chin af if in deep thought. “I want to go for ice cream.” “Where would we get ice cream at this time of night?”, MC laughed. “I know just the place. Follow me!”

And with that Phil put his arm around her shoulder and lead her away from the Aurora, back into the direction of the market square. Shortly after they reached the main street leading between the market square and the church, he suddenly stopped. “We have reached our destination.” “Okay,” MC said, eyeing the front of a small cafe. “They do sell icream here. But this place is also very much closed for the night.” Phil smirked and took a few more steps to a small side door. “I would say we take a page from your friends books tonight and consider this establishment as open for us. Invited guests only.”

He turned his back to MC and briefly struggled with the doorknob. “What are you doing?”, she whisper-hissed at him. “We can't just break in there!” But Phil did not reply. Instead she heard a soft click and the door swung open. Phil turned around and gestured with a wide smile. “After you. Come on, before someone sees us.”

MC hurried inside and Phil followed, closing the door behind them. They were now standing in a small but industrial looking kitchen area. There was a door leading to the cafe and another metal door probably leading to a cooling unit. Phil was already heading for the meatal door, while MC was still taking in their surroundings.

“Were are you going?”, she inquired. “Well, getting the ice cream of course. They store it in there over night. Can you check the front for bowls and some toppings?” MC hesitated. I hope they don't have an alarm system, she thought. But now, that she was already knee deep in trouble, she might as well go along with it. So she walked through the other door, finding herself behind a counter, that would normally hold baked goods and the cooling containers for the ice cream. Shelves were lining the wall behind the register, stacked with cups, small plates and bowls. There was also a fancy looking coffee machine, the kind that would automatically dispense different kinds of beverages at the press of a button. MC could not help it, but briefly played around with it, when it suddenly whirred to life. “Waaah!”, she exclaimed. “What are you doing there. Are you trying to get us caught?” Phils voice was bearly audible. He must have still been standing in the cooler. And the noise of the coffee machine did not help.

Ignoring him, she quickly grabbed one of the cups to catch whatever she accidentally put into motion. Then she remembered her task and took two small bowls from the shelf. She had to rummage around a bit to find some spoons. Both in hand she returned to the back, where Phil had already put a number of ice boxes on a counter. “Tadaa!” He shot her a wide smile that could have melted all the ice cream in the shop.

“What's your favorite?”, MC asked, handing him a bowl. “You.”, he winked, while MC rolled her eyes dramatically. “But if you're talking ice cream, I'd say double chocolate.” He helped himself to a generous serving. “And for you?” “Vanilla”, MC replied. “Boring.” “A classic.” Phil was about to dig in, when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Hey! Where are the sprinkles? I can't live without sprinkles!” MC raised an eyebrow. “First off: I will from now on always call you 'Sprinkles'. And second: They are out front.”

A few minutes later - after putting the containers back in the cooler and then starting a competition over who could come up with the most horrendous toppings combination - they were both leaning against the counter, finally enjoying their ice cream. “So, are you enjoying your first visit to Duskwood?”, Phil asks around a mouthful of chocolate-sprinkle-pistacchio-marshmallow mix. MC sighs. “Yes, but it is also a bit exhausting. It seems like your sister is cramming all possible activities of the area into my three day visit.” “Is that why you were wandering around alone at one a.m.? To get away from them?” MC laughs. “No. And yes.”

“Oh no,” Phil exclaimed, making a sad face. “Whats up?” “My mouth is very cold now.” “Is that so?”, MC asked, slowy putting down her bowl. And with a devilish smirk, she asked: “Would you like me to warm it up for you?” Phils face brightened immediately. But did MC also spot a little blushing on his cheeks? “Yes please!” “Ok. Close your eyes.” A surprised look crossed over Phils face, but he obeyed and closed his eyes. Then he suddenly felt his bowl being replaced by a warm cup. His eyes flew open. “What is that?” “Hot Cocoa. This is what you meant, right? It will warm you right up.”

MC could barely contain her laughter, while she watched a flustered Phil looking back and forth between her and the cup. “You are mean, you know that?” “Yep. And now come on, Sprinkles. Lets finish and get out of here. I have no desire to be arrested in Duskwood after all.”

This one is giving me Mc x Phil vibe ❤️🥵

Sorry Jake 🥲

About last night

Jessy, Phil x MC

Genre: mostly friendship but there's a spicy part

Jessy and MC are having brunch after MC spend the night with Phil. Sorry I played jump rope with the time line, it just came out like that...

Warnings: smoking, alcohol, sexual content

 „Do you need help?!“ MC shouts down the stairs from where she can hear rummaging noise and clinging glasses. “No! I got this...just sit down.” answers Jessie's faint voice.

It's a warm Sunday morning, perfect for realizing the plan Jessy and MC made in the Aurora bar last night: coming back in the morning and have brunch together.

The Aurora Bar is situated on the ground level of a very old and strange building, on the left side of the second floor is the quieter part right above the storage area of the bar – that is where bar owner Phil had set up his apartment a while ago.  The other part of the second floor is empty and still not renovated, no walls just wooden joists and floors with a large old fashioned window to the front side – a perfect place to sit and relax on a sunny morning like this.

MC opens the window and some of the old brittle paint is snowing down, she dusts off the sill with her hand and sits down, her back leaning on the frame with one leg out of the window. The sun spills warmth over her face. She can hear a door slamming from downstairs and steps coming up, Jessy smiles at her, holding up a tray with two glasses, a bottle and something in a paper bag.

“Voilà! Our brunch.” she said with a triumphing look. She puts the tray right in front of MC and sits down on the other side of the window sill, so the two girls are facing each other - toasting with the glasses and each take a sip.

“Uahh!” MC shakes her head and flinches. “I don't really like sparkling wine.”

“Me neither. Bah!” Jessy stretches her tongue out. “So why are we doing this?” reluctantly MC takes another sip. Making a smart face Jessy answers “Well, you said you wanted brunch and on all the pictures of brunching people, they are drinking sparkling wine, or actually it might be champagne but we cannot afford that...” she laughs and puts down her glass. “That is true and they also have food in those pictures, don't they?” MC tries to copy the smart face of her friend.

“Say no more!” Jessy opens the paper bag with a grand gesture. “O, Doughnuts!” MC sighs and takes the one Jessy is handing her. “Mh'erfect!” she mumbles through the first bite and powdered sugar is dusting out of her mouth making Jessy laugh.

“We are really bad at having brunch!” Jessy comments and both girls burst into laughter. “Well it seemed to be a perfectly good plan yesterday.” MC brushes the sugar off her leg.

Suddenly Jessy's face changes and she looks at her fried with serious eyes, MC meets her look with surprise “What's wrong?”

Jessy takes a long breath before she speaks again and her voice takes on a very different and serious tone. “Speaking of ideas one would have in a bar...” Suddenly MC is hit by a sinking feeling in her stomach, it is dawning on her where Jessy is going with this.

“...I couldn't help noticing, you were here before me this morning and I found my brothers shirt on the banister and a lot of grapes on the floor, which is weird – buuut anyway, detective that I am...” she hesitates, her look is begging for her friend to answer without her having to ask.  MC turns her face away and lets her look stride out the window over the house fronts on the other side. Her mind went back to how last night ended...

 

The way out of the back of the bar and upstairs was kind of a blur, she just remembers the cold wall against her back when he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. They never broke the kiss, just for a second that it took her to pull his shirt over his head.

The very messy kiss that started an avalanche of passion, two hands grabbing her by the hip, sweeping her vigorously off the counter she was sitting on. A burning heat rising up and an almost painful hunger for his touch consumed all her senses. Her hand messing up his hair, sliding down and clawing into his shoulders, trying to devour him. The room around vanished and all that remained were his lips on hers and his hands sliding firmly and curiously over her skin.

He guided her up the stairs, stumbling as they crushed into each other over and over again, never losing touch. FInally they reached the apartment and he spun her around, kissing – more biting – the back of her neck. She took this opportunity to scan the unknown room, everything seemed to be in a haze. She fought down the urge to close her eyes again and melt away under his touch. With blurred vision she spotted the edge of a bed through a gap of one of the doors, lighted dimly with street light that must have been streaming in through a window.

In that moment she decided, that it was her turn now and she grabbed Phil by the waist band off his pants pulling him towards the bedroom while undoing his belt. As they reached the side of the bed, he moves behind her again letting his hand slide down from her waist - entering her with two fingers. Gasping she let her head fall back on his shoulder, arching her back. Everything around her started spinning and she could feel her legs giving in, forcing her to sink in his grip while he held and played her like a precious instrument, curling his finger and causing her to gasp and moan louder. Just before she lost it, she lifted her head with fury and stopped his fingers from moving by grabbing his wrist. She turned around and met his confused look with a seductive smile.

“Sorry...” she whispered through another kiss. Taking him by surprise, she pushed him onto the bed quickly lowering herself on top of him and pinning his arms down. “...but this is my ride.” she smiled down at him, covering his lips with hers before he could even answer.

 

“Ouh...gosh! Really MC?!” Jessie's whimpering is tearing MC out of her reminiscence, she looks at Jessy and slowly nods her head. Jessy covers her face with both hands and sobs through her fingers “I knew it! I knew this would happen sooner or later. That stupid brother of mine! Couldn't just leave you alone could he? Argh, what the hell did he...” - “Jess.” MC interrupts her softly, leaning forward “Look at me. I'm fine. It wasn't like that...” With a shy smile she tries to get Jessy out of her distress. She watches her slowly lowering her hands and suddenly MC is feeling terribly angry at herself – not for one second she thought about what kind of affect her night with Phil would have on Jessy. Now MC buries her face in her hands. “I'm so sorry, Jessy – I really didn't mean to make you feel like this. I don't want things to be awkward between us, please forgive me. We don't have to talk about this, let's just forget about it.” she looks up with begging eyes.

Jessy wrinkles her forehead, she looks like she is struggling with a bad taste in her mouth but finally she nods her head.

“Yes...I mean no! We have to be able to talk about this. You are my best friend and I have to deal with this.” She swallows hard and now a helpless smile appears on her face, she seems calmer. “We cannot suck at having brunch and awkward conversations!” That statement causes MC to chuckle - Jessy is indeed an amazing friend. “Okay.” Jessy takes another sip of her glass and sits up straight “Let's rip that band aid right off! Tell me what happened... no wait!” She raises her hand just as MC wanted to answer. “No details! Can't handle it... Just tell me, what happened after I left.”

For a moment MC falls silent, thinking what exactly kicked off the events of last night.

“Do you remember, that I told Thomas and Dan that I just finished my internship at the newspaper and that they offered me a job? And Thomas said something like 'Wow, that's so great, MC, how you always got everything figured out.' And even Dan agreed with him, he said ' That's our little success, always sticking to her plan!'”

MC shakes her head frowning and continues “That just didn't sit well with me at that moment. That's not at all how I want to see myself, you know? I used to be so spontaneous and fearless and now I'm Miss All-figured-out? Through the last time I was so wrapped up in my work, I always held back and I don't want to end up like that. I mean, I wanted to become a writer to experience life and not just work my days away and stick to a plan.”

Jessy nods her head to show MC she is with her so far.

“Anyway, I started brooding about this yesterday and realized, that I really always held back from being just me - for my studies and the job and so on. And suddenly I felt a very consuming urge to break out of that.”

Jessy tilts her head looking MC directly into the eyes. “MC, I don't think the guys meant anything by saying that and even so, I would have to disagree. You are a spontaneous, creative person, you just had to get some things done and in order. And you are still one of the most unpredictable people I know – that doesn't change just like that. And it's not like you have to take the job. Why would you even worry about that?”

MC answers with a shrug and with an abashed smile she continues the story. “Well it bothered me a lot yesterday, so I just stayed in the bar after everyone left – still brooding and obsessing. I know that might sound absurd, but I just didn't want to go home. I thought I could start breaking my routine with drinking all night.” Jessy suddenly chuckles and MC looks at her with surprise. “Sorry, for a moment I almost forgot where this story is heading. So what did my brother do to you then?”

MC shakes her head looking down on her hands. “Phil didn't do anything to me, the poor guy was just there while I was obsessing about my life being stuck. Not pleasant, believe me. I think he asked me if I am sure to finish the drink, since he overheard that I wanted to meet up with you in the morning. And he couldn't know but that was just oil on the flame. So I started a fight, I tried to provoke him, I was pissed....it wasn't really serious.”

...What happened last night...

Phil is busy cleaning behind the counter and starts to put all the bottles back on the shelves. He looks over his shoulder at the full glass of whiskey in front of MC.

"That's still full, are you gonna make it?"

MC, who has been just staring at her drink with a rather sinister expression, lifts her head and slits her eyes. "Why wouldn't I make it?"

Phil just shrugs without interrupting his work "Just asking, you said you want to have brunch here with my sister in the morning, it's getting late..."

"So? You're not my mother, are you? Since when are you so patronizing?" MC snaps. Phil turns around slowly with raised brows and crosses his arms while MC chugs half of her glass and shivers under the burning taste.

"See." She points a finger at Phil - "I'm not just chasing after security, sticking to the plan, jobs and...mini vans. Screw the plan, I just chugged down the plan! What are you gonna do about that, Mr. Hawkins?"

A slightly irritated smile flickers over his face while he lights his cigarette, he doesn't dare to answer. MC just keeps ranting on.

"Of course, how would you know, what it feels like? You can just do whatever you want, you really got that whole 'bahaad boy' thing down, don't you?" She gestures with both hands.

- "Will you marry me?" Phil asks smiling and shuts MC up. Brought out of concept, she shakes her head and starts laughing, covering her face with both hands.

"Ouch, I'm sorry, Phil. I don't know what got into me...except for this." She holds up her glass and drives a hand through her hair. Phil turns around again and pours another glass of whiskey. MC lifts her eyes "Thanks, but I still got some left."

"Good." Phil pulls up a stool behind the counter and sits down right in front of MC.

"That one is for me. I kinda have the feeling I will need it." He says with a wink and takes a sip. "So..." he reaches over and pushes a strand of hair out of her face "What's up with you, MC? The bar tender is listening." Tired and sad she smiles back at him.

"Ouh, I don't know. It just came to my attention, that I got myself in a rut. I worked so hard the last year in school and at work and for what? I feel like this just eroded my spirits, I didn't write a single line in forever and I'm just...stuck. How did I become such a boring person?" She takes the cigarette out of Phil's hand and looks at it as if the answer is somewhere hidden in the smoke. His deep chuckle draws her attention back. "What's so funny?" Phil leans back pinning his dark eyes on her.

"You are really hot when you are losing your marbles, did you know that?" He shifts forward and steals his cigarette back. "Now why would you say something stupid like that? Who would ever call you boring?" MC shrugs and mumbles in her glass "Well they didn't use the exact word, but..." Phil starts laughing again shaking his head.

"Okay, enough now with that nonsense! You, Miss MC, are the furthest from boring as a person can possibly be. Seriously, a job offer doesn't disrupt the big bag of crazy that you are. Look at you having a personal crisis and obsessing about nothing! Like a real writer! And hands down, you are one of the most exciting people I've ever met and you know, that I cannot bear to be bored for a second. Come to think of it, you might even be the second most exciting person in this bar right now." He winks and points at her ironically, causing her to laugh out loud. "Definitely, I'm the second most stupid one here..." MC sighs and this time the smile remains on her face. "Thanks for cheering me up, Hawkins. Still, I feel like I should do...something." She looks at him for a while with an intriguing expression and big eyes.-

"Let's go to Vegas! You and me, let's do that, like right now!" Phil meets her inviting look with a raised brow, he nods his head and finishes his whiskey.

"Alright - you got it, might just be a bit late for that at the moment." He gets up and opens one of the fridges under the counter, coming back up with a bowl in his hands. "For now...wanna throw grapes at the bar mirror? That's what I do in times of crisis."

MC jumps up "Aw yes!" and sits down next to Phil on top of the counter. She grabs a grape out of the bowl chucking it way to high on the wall.

"Missed." Phil comments and takes one himself and throws it right in the mirror where it leaves a purple-ish smudge.

"See, like a real pro." He pinches MC in the arm and she takes another shot.

"Hah! Right in the middle." She raises her arms in a winners pose. "Doesn't count." Phil shakes his head and MC protest "What? I aimed right at your reflection there, mister!"

Phil slides down from the counter and points at the mirror. "See that? My smudge is at least two inches higher than yours, that means I win." He turns around and builds himself up in front of MC "Sorry, kiddo, rules are rules..."

...

"And then I kinda just grabbed him by the neck and... kissed him." MC looks at Jessy who was listening fascinated and a little frightened. "I think I spare you the rest." MC concludes and now waits for her friends reaction.

Jessy looks out the window for a few very long seconds and then sighs deeply, MC askes softly “Are you alright?” and Jessy starts nodding. “I will be. I guess the question is, do you know what happens now? I mean, was this... a one time thing?”

"That would be a shame and technically it was more than one time already..."

"Ah shush!" Jessy lifts a finger as a warning. "You know what I mean."

MC scratches her chin. “Well in the spirit of not having a plan – I really can't tell you. Who knows.”

“And you are okay with that?”

“I am.”

“So you are really fine?”

“Absolutely. Are you?”

“I think so.”

Jessy stands up from the window sill and stretches herself like after a long run.

“I think I did good.” she looks satisfied with herself. “I got through this conversation, didn't throw up once and my MC is fine. This could have been a disaster but we got through it.” She smiles down at MC who feels relived.

“I love you, Jessy.”

“I love you too, MC.” Jessy points a finger at her friend. “But I gotta tell you, you are one crazy broad! I have to go now, we will work on that brunch thing another time.” She puts on her jacket and picks up her bag.

A door opens on the other side of the room and Phil is leaning in the door frame, wearing a leopard printed blazer and sun glasses. Jessy locks her arms and looks frowning at her brother, then she turns around to MC. “I don't even want to know!” she says and bends over to kiss MC on the cheek, then she just waves a goodbye to Phil and flies down the stairs.

MC throws her legs from the window sill to take in the sight of Phil still leaning there, she approves finally with a smile.

“Nice. Are you ready then, Sailor?” she asks.

“Taxi will be here in 20 minutes.” he answers holding up his phone.

“Alright.” says MC and jumps up from the window walking over to him with a little dance in her step...

“Let's go Vegas!”

The Punishment

Link to Chapter 6

A/N: Hello my favorite people! Here's what you have been waiting for. We'll finally know the reason behind Jake and Jessy's behavior. More drama on this chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

MC: What the fuck are you doing here?!

MC stood from her bed and slowly walked towards Jake. Jake was just standing there frozen.

MC: And how did you get in here?! You really have the guts to show your face to me after what you did!

MC is now standing right in front of Jake

Jake: I, I borrowed Jessy's spare key to your apartment.

MC: Oh how sweet she is. So supportive of you. Give me that key! She no longer has the right to that as soon as she betrayed me. She's no longer my fucking bestfriend!

Jake handed MC the key, his hand is shaking.

MC: I'm going to ask you once again. What are you doing here? You sneaked in here like a thief huh. Do you want me to call the police? Oh no, not yet. I can beat you first and call them. I can't be arrested if I say it was self defense.

Jake: MC I don't care what you do to me. I deserve it anyway but please, give me a chance to explain first.

MC: Explain what Jake?! I saw it clearly! You and Jessy... Fuck! I was so stupid to think that there's something special between us but I was wrong! It's Jessy who you want!

Jake: MC no it's not like that!

MC lost her temper. She unconsiously slapped Jake using her injured hand. She hissed in pain.

MC: Aghhh, fuck!

Jake: MC are you ok? ( Jake tried to hold MC's arm to check her hand. )

MC: Get away from me!

Jake: MC please. I am so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you. You're the most important person to me!

MC: Stop now with your lies Jake! Hannah is back. You no longer have to pretend! Now I understand, all those things that you said to me while we were investigating Hannah's case, all those are just your lies to manipulate me. You pretended that you care for me, that I am special to you so I'll continue helping you. You needed me to find Hannah. You used me!

Jake is so hurt with all the things that MC said.

Jake: Is that what you really think about me? That I manipulated you?! That I used you?! You said you trust me.

MC: I did Jake! I trusted you! God I was even willing to sacrifice my life for you! But what did you do! You betrayed me! With my bestfriend! If it was her you want all along you should have just told me. I would be willing to continue helping anyway. But you chose to lie to me and make me fall for you. And now, now you broke me. I hate you Jake!

Jake: MC stop! It's not true! I did not use you! All the things I said to you are true! I love you MC! I fucking love you! You're the only one for me! It's because of you that I'm still here. You're the reason why I had the will to live. If it's not because of you, I would have just let myself die in that mine. But you, you gave me a reason to fight and look forward to a future where I can be happy with you.

MC was shocked with all the things that Jake said. She didn't know how to process it. Is he saying the truth? Then what about Jessy, why did he act like that with her?

MC: Jake... how can you expect me to believe that? If you're saying the truth, then why did you and Jessy...

Before MC can finish what she's saying, Jake interrupted her.

Jake: It was all an act MC! It was all just a stupid act!

MC: What?! An act? What do you mean it was all just an act?

___________

A few days before MC and Jessy had a girl's night at Jessy's apartment.

Jake: Hello Jessica.

Jessy: It's Jessy! 😤 And hello to you too! I wonder why you are messaging me.

Jake keeps on typing and deleting his response...

Jessy: Spit it out Jake! I know you're not going to message me if it's not important. Is this something about MC?

Jake: Actually, yes.

Jessy: Ok what is it?

Jake: How is MC?

Jessy: She's fine. Why are you asking me when you guys are hanging out together. Why, did you notice something wrong with her?

Jake: No, it's just...

Jessy: Jake just tell me what you really want to know or else I'm no longer going to respond to you.

Jake: Alright. Do you know if MC and Phil are together?

Jessy: What? Are you seriously asking me this? I thought it's clear to you that she has feelings for you. She and my brother are only friends. Though I know Phil is crazy about her but MC made it clear that she only wants to be friends with him. Seriously Jake, why are you asking this?

Jake: Well, I just wasn't sure. About her feelings for me. I know we both expressed that we care for each other. That we're important for each other but we never really made it clear what is it between us. After Hannah was found and I became free, we didn't really talk about our feelings. Though I'm sure how I feel about her, I'm not really sure if she feels the same. Especially that I see her and Phil getting closer, I thought maybe she changed her mind about me.

Jessy: Why don't you just tell her how you feel? Then you will know if she feels the same, which I'm sure she does.

Jake: I, I can't. I don't have the courage.

Jessy: Oh my God, what am I gonna to do with both of you!

Jessy: Do you want me to ask her then?

Jake: Yes please, that would be great. :)

Jessy: Ok. We're going to have a bonding this Saturday. I'm going to talk to her. Maybe I'll also provoke her a little. That way, she'll get the courage to talk to you and say what she really feels.

Jake: Do whatever you think will be good. Thank you Jessica! :)

Jessy: Again, it's Jessy! 😤 And you're welcome.

___________

After MC and Jessy's girl's night where Jessy asked about MC and Jake's status, Jessy texted Jake excitedly to tell him what she and MC talked about.

Jessy: Jake!

Jake: Jessica!

Jessy: Agh, whatever! I have good news!

Jake: What is it?

Jessy: So... MC is in love with you!!! 😍 See, I told you! I just can't understand why you didn't know when it was so obvious.

Jake: Thank you. You know I love her too.

Jessy: Yeah of course. The two of you are so obvious about what you feel for each other but also you are both so coward to admit it. 🙄

Jessy: The problem is, looks like MC has no plan in telling you. She said she'll just leave whatever is between you now and see what happens. So if I were you, I'll go to her and tell her how much you love her!

Jake: No, I can't do it.

Jessy: What, why? Even after what I told you?

Jake: I told you I don't have the courage. I don't know how to tell her.

Jessy: Oh my God Jake! I can't with you! 😮‍💨

Jessy: Will it give you courage to admit how you feel about her if she tells you first?

Jake: Yes of course, how can I not tell her that I love her back.

Jessy: Ok, I'll help you. I have a plan. But I have a condition, since this is going to be very risky and I'm afraid of what MC will do to me. You need to do me a favor.

Jake: Ok, tell me.

Jessy: Stop calling me Jessica!

Jake: Deal. :)

Jessy: Ok, great. So what were going to do is make her jealous. You know, we need to act so sweet together.

Jake: Do you think it's a good idea?

Jessy: Well, not really since I'm afraid we'll both end up in the hospital. But I'm sure this will make MC admit her feelings for you. You know, she has a bad temper. If she sees us acting so sweet together, she'll probably storm towards us and say, "What are you doing Jessy?! How dare you stole the man I love?! 🤭 Now, she finally admitted her feelings for you and you just have to do your part.

Jake: Ok, we'll do it then.

Jessy: Yay! Let's execute the plan on our get together at the Aurora bar. Just follow my lead, ok? Ah, I'm so excited and afraid at the same time but this will do both of you good.

Jake: Thank you, Jessy. See you at the Aurora then.

Jessy. No problem. See you!

___________

MC: Oh my God Jake! Are you fucking serious?! I went through all of these shit just because you wanted to make me feel jealous! To make me admit my feelings for you first! How fucking stupid!

Jake: I know and I'm so sorry. But you could have just told me.

MC: Seriously Jake?! You could have just told me also but you are a fucking coward. How ironic, you were wanted by the government. You weren't afraid to fight them but you're too coward to admit your feelings for me. And then you agreed to do this stupid idea!

Jake: I'm so sorry MC. I really didn't want to hurt you. Please MC. Please forgive me.

MC: No Jake! I can't forgive you. You didn't consider about my feelings. Do you have any idea how I felt when I saw you flirting with someone else, and not just someone else, with my best friend?! Ok, it was all just an act, but that act broke me Jake! Do you understand that?! You did this for yourself, you did this so you can confirm how I feel about you so it will be easy for you to admit your feelings for me but you didn't think about me. How it will hurt me. So no Jake. I can't forgive you.

Jake: MC, I...

MC: Save it Jake. I don't want to hear anything from you. Just please, leave me alone now. Get out from my apartment.

Jake did what MC asked. He left MC's apartment devastated. He cursed himself. How can he be so stupid? Can MC forgive him someday? Or did he lost her forever? All these thoughts filled his mind. He suddenly realized that he has been crying all this time. He went to his car and drove his way back to Lilly's.

After Jake left, MC fell to the floor. She didn't know what to really feel. She can't process everything. Should she feel relieved that there's nothing going on between Jake and Jessy? But they still hurt her, what they did still broke her. MC hugged her knees while sobbing. How can you be so stupid Jake? ( MC muttered to herself. )

A/N: Yeah, that's it. They just wanted to make MC jealous. What do you think guys? Is it really stupid especially that Jake's goal is to make MC admit her feelings first? He's too coward to make the first move! Should MC forgive them that easy especially Jake? Share me your thoughts. By the way, I won't be able to post an update tomorrow due to Christmas celebration. But I want to greet you all an Advanced Merry Christmas! ( for those who are celebrating )

I'll probably be sleeping already right after posting this because my eyes are already closing so I'll reply to your comments tommorow. It's midnight from where I am. 🙂

Sam loves his boyfriend, but if he could choose...

[lyon-amore]

A special reunion Oneshot

At first, he didn't imagine that she was that MC that was being talked about so much. When he saw her walk into his bar, Phil recognized her right away. MC had already been to Duskwood. Exactly ten years ago. When she lived there. There were many memories that they had, especially because it had just ten years ago, the two of them had dated.

It was long before he earned the title of womanizing boy. That girl had been his first love. His first girlfriend. Seeing her again made him remember those happy moments they had spent together. When the girl sat in the chair, leaning against the bar, she gave the bar owner a smile.    "Phil Hawkins" MC smiled, with a proud smile "Who was going to tell me that I would get you out of jail?"    "Who was going to tell me, that you'd be the one who got into Hannah's business?" Phil leaned over the bar, with a charming smile "Thanks for helping me."    "I wasn't going to leave you in there" the girl replied, resting her chin on her hand "How long ago? Ten years?" She asked in a nostalgic tone.    "Saying it in that tone, you make me feel old" MC laughed and he stood up "What do you want to make you look beautiful? A beer? A good wine? Me?"     MC leaned back a bit, with a somewhat awkward laugh.    "Really Phil?" She shook her head "Ten years without seeing each other and this is how you want to start?"     Of course, he had screwed up and to the bottom. He had forgotten that Jessy's group had spoken badly about him. To which surely, they would have told the young woman that he flirted with all the girls he liked. True, but it wasn't for her to get like that either. They were supposed to be confident, right?    "Sorry" the young man apologized ", I guess I got nervous seeing you."    "That's a lie and you know it." she pointed his finger at her, accusingly, but without erasing his smile.     They both stared at each other, as if they were communicating telepathically.    "You know? Since we've met again, let's celebrate.” Phil took out the tequila and two small glasses.     He began to prepare the drink, passing it to the girl, who looked at the glass before looking at him.    "To our reunion." Phil raised his glass.    "To our reunion." MC imitated him.     They gulped it down, making a throaty sound. Although it was little, it burned in the throat.    "So" Phil continued, sitting up again at the bar ", now you're going to look for missing persons? I thought your dream was to be an actress and get away from this quaint little town."    "And I have some small roles" She pouted ". On television... As an extra..."    "Poor your dreams."    "But I'm not giving up" She poured himself another glass of tequila and drank it in one gulp ". God, I needed it..."     He wouldn't stop looking at her. Remembering the pain of when they had to say goodbye.

Maybe it was out of spite or because he was unconsciously looking for MC in all the girls that hooked up with. He fixed on her lips, remembering the last kiss they shared. He wanted to remember what it was like to kiss her again. Would it be just as passionate? All the memories of her were coming back, the moments alone.    "What's up?" MC asked, with a laugh.    "I was thinking" Phil approached her, placing his hand under the girl's chin "Why don't we remember the old days?"     They were approaching each other, her lips were close. But MC was clever and avoided it, approaching his ear.    "Like I said" MC began to whisper ", you can't start a conversation like that after ten years."     And he thought he was the only one who knew how to make girls nervous. MC was managing to turn the tables, now she was in charge. The feel of her hand running down his arm made him shudder. As she slowly pulled away, he kept his gaze on her tempting eyes. He had gasped at the sight of her. More than before he wanted to kiss her.    "It seems" the young woman smiled mischievously "that I am capable of dominating you."     Phil laughed, taking another glass of tequila.

The people and the music flooded the environment but he only listened to her. Her voice controlled him now.    "I do it because I respect you, precious." He replied, controlling himself when he saw her with that provocative smile.    "Very well then" MC put his hand to Phil's face, her red nails standing out against the boy's white skin ", you have to learn to be a good boy, Phil, you don't have to rush so soon."     Phil cursed everything he was going through in his mind. Out of respect for MC, he was controlling himself. For someone he had loved and admired in the past and still did as soon as she entered his bar, he remembered it. He was picturing her without clothes, would she be offended if he told her? He bit his lip, looking her up and down. MC laughed.    "Aren't you torturing me too much?" Phil asked her "We know each other too well for you to do this to me, MC, doesn't it hurt to do this to me?"    "No, not really" she laughed with a bit of malice ". But I'll tell you when you can kiss me, okay?"     Phil smiled. So yes, she wanted the same thing as him.    “And how long do I have to wait for that?” he asked her, running a finger along the girl's neck, down to her cleavage.    "When you stop trying to get me on your turf like you do with the other girls."    "You offend me if you think I'm not going to treat you like the other girls." he approached her, brushing his lips over her neck and up to her face.    "Isn't that what you're doing now?" MC whispered, leaning to one side of her, inviting him to continue "Aren't you afraid they'll get jealous and come after you?"    "I don't do this the first time with girls" He left small kisses on the girl's neck and saw that her skin was starting to get goose bumps. She was enjoying it ". And if I'm honest" he passed his hand behind the young woman's neck, looking into her eyes ", at this moment, I don't care if they look at us now."     MC smiled, approaching his lips. Phil took it to mean that he could kiss her, but he was surprised because again she took the initiative from him, biting his lip and playing with his tongue.

When they broke apart, they gasped for air. A small laugh escaped the MC's lips which Phil liked.    “Can you hand over the bar to one of your employees?” She asked, whispering in his ear.    "Give me just a minute and we'll go home."    "Perfect."      They should have more reunions like this.
