#gives me a break from being sad about him ahah
Note
Your headcanon: Is Itachi into fashion or is his entire style purely coincidental?
I think Itachi lived like a hermit after he fled the village. He wouldn't indulge in anything that brought him happiness or even respite from the regular miseries, so being into fashion is completely out of question.
He has the nailpaint, the necklace, and ring — the only accessories. While nailpaint and the ring seem mandatory for the Akatsuki, the necklace is the only thing he owns. It's not enough to give away his interest into fashion.
He is naturally graceful.
Tumblr media
He doesn't even try to look menacing but there's a panther-like grace to him that's enough to tell you he is a force to be reckoned with. The accessories simply enhances what's already there.
Tumblr media
And this? He is otherworldly. But he unleashes this level of beauty only when he wants to.

“I don’t love you anymore [y/n]”
You kept replaying these words in your head, incapable of not hearing them. He couldn’t have said that, could he? That couldn’t be real. Yesterday you were still together, acting like the cute couple you were and today…No. No, there was no way.
You just had to look at Peter to know that he was, indeed, telling the truth. You were in your bedroom, where your boyfriend asked to see you. Of course you said yes. You would spend every minute with him if it was possible. Even if these past weeks, Peter was more distant than he usually was, you still wanted to enjoy his presence. 
When you opened the door, you knew something was wrong. By the way he kissed you quicker than normally. By the way he couldn’t look up at you, when he always talked to you by looking directly in your eyes.
He followed you in your bedroom and waited to be there to drop the bomb. What was once your safe place became your heart’s grave. Nothing could have prepared you for Peter's declaration. 
“I don’t love you anymore [y/n]” he said while being a few meters away from you. Making sure there was enough distance between you. 
“I don’t love you anymore [y/n]” he said with a broken voice. Like he was the brokenhearted one. Like he wasn’t crushing yours.
You hated how he couldn’t look at you. When you couldn’t stop looking at him. You were both crying. But you needed to see the man who was ruining your life. You needed to be sure he was the same man you loved with all your heart. To whom you would have done anything. 
“You were the best, I promise you. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner these past months, after losing Tony. But the thing is…everytime I look at you, I think about the past. And I need to move on. ”
You had no idea what was worse. Hearing that it wasn’t your fault if Peter had fallen out of love with you. Or that he was too broken to try and save your relationship. You made a step towards him, trying to comfort him and understand what he was going through. But when, at the exact same time, Peter took a step back, you froze. He didn’t want you. Wasn’t that what he just said? He didn’t want you in his life anymore. “Peter, please let me help you…” you mumbled under your sobs, but he shook his head. 
“You can’t [y/n], you can’t save me. You know, MJ and I...” 
You didn’t let Peter finish. It already hurt too much to hear her name. You never hated MJ. Not when she grew closer to your boyfriend. Not when you noticed the look she was giving him. Not even now when you understood she was one of the reasons Peter decided to break up with you. You could tell from the way he said his name. The same way he used to say yours not so long ago.
You were angry at him for playing with your heart. Angry at yourself for being a blind fool.
You walked to Peter and were ready to hit him. You never, ever, thought about doing that. But you were so mad at the idea he did anything. Peter caught your arm before you touched him. His hand felt weak around you, nothing compared to when he touched you before.
“You’re a liar!” You screamed between your tears. You heard Peter whispering your name but you didn’t care. He didn’t have the right to say it anymore. “You have the nerve to tell me it’s my fault if you don’t love me when in reality you just fell in love with the perfect MJ!” You hit his chest with your other hand, this time he let you touch him. But it was the only time. Because when he saw you breaking down again, Peter took another step back.
He had to leave before worsening the situation. 
“I won’t forget you.” he said under his breath before leaving your room forever. You collapsed on the floor when you heard the door. It was over. Peter wasn’t yours anymore. And all you had anymore was a love you couldn’t give to the only one that mattered.

selfish | spencer reid
pairing: spencer reid x f!reader
word count: 1.3k
summary: spencer never should have let you go.
warnings: allusions to sex, injury, allusions to a crime scene, spencer being a confused mess, pure angst 
author’s note: my first criminal minds fic, and it’s spencer reid !! it was loosely inspired by taylor swift’s ‘sad beautiful tragic’ and madison beer’s ‘selfish’, providing the title of this fic. I’m so excited about this fic, and hope you love it as much as I do. send your requests straight into my inbox if you want to see more :)
additional note: happy birthday to me! this fic is a lil birthday present for myself ahah
and before you get into this fic, please take some time to consider the meaning of Good Friday.
This was a case like any other.
The stakes were high—what else was new?—and the UnSub’s arrest evolved into a shootout. Before Rossi could get a clean shot, a bullet had grazed your arm and killed a police officer. Your getting injured wasn’t new (really, it’d be more surprising if you didn’t), but JJ still wrapped her arm around you, Derek and Hotch still asked if you were alright, Emily still held your hand. Penelope still smothered you in a hug. Rossi still shook your hand.
But your Spencer? He didn’t inspect your wound, didn’t berate you for your carelessness or run off another statistic on the odds of an injury in the field. He didn’t follow the usual routine of kissing your cheek and coddling you until you were healed.
Instead, he opened his mouth and blurted, “I don’t think we should see each other anymore.”
Your heart skips a beat in the worst possible way, your brain a broken record repeating his words on a loop. “I… what?”
“You’re always getting yourself injured and I… I can’t stand to see you get hurt.” That was the naked truth of it: each time you were hurt in the field, Spencer struggled to reassure himself that you would be okay, to remember a statistic or concrete fact to ease his anxiety. He could not afford the distraction, he told himself.
Field agents needed to set aside their emotions and remain objective, lest their judgement be clouded. And Spencer’s judgement had been clouded on more than one occasion.
“You can’t be with me because you don’t want to see me get hurt?”
“That’s correct, yes.”
You wish his tone wasn’t resolved, that you could persuade him to see reason, your reason. Instead you ask, “What makes this injury different from the others? Why do you get to decide how this relationship ends?”
“I can’t keep doing this, y/n. It’s not sustainable.” Always scientific, always the pessimist. Why couldn’t he ever take a leap for love? Why couldn’t he fully give himself to you?
“Spence—”
“You’re a distraction, and I…” He takes a deep breath, forcing the words past his lips. “I don’t need that. There’s nothing more I have to say.”
He leaves you alone with the ambulance, alone with your thoughts. Alone with your tears.
Your skin is warm as Spencer trails his fingers down your body, gracefully pressing his lips onto your collarbone. He delights in your sighs, testing the waters of your pleasure. Your hand curls in his hair, tugs, and he brings his mouth up to meet yours.
You smile into the kiss as he settles between your knees, hand sliding up to hold your cheek. He breaks the kiss and your lips chase his, aching for another taste. But he’s firm, breath mixing with yours as he murmurs, “You’re beautiful.”
Spencer wakes to sheets twisted around his legs. Eyes still closed, he reaches a hand out for you, only to find… you’re not there. Reality crashes into him like a train, and his mind reminds him of the fact that you’re not his anymore, you sleep in a different bed now.
Reality hurts, his memory is alluring, and Spencer just wants to go back to sleep. But then his phone rings on the bedside table, and he answers the call with a groan.
“Reid…”
Spencer tunes out Morgan’s voice with some effort, wrapped in a memory. That eidetic memory, once serving him well in catching criminals and party tricks, now serves only as a reminder of your lips on his, your fingers framing his face, your gentle touch on his skin.
He knows that if he concentrates, he can still hear your sighs in his dream, trace the curve of your lips. He’d do anything to be there, to be back in your apartment and in your arms. Instead, the team’s flying out to New York to hunt another case, catch another criminal.
“Reid.” There’s Emily’s voice now, and the sound of a female voice that belongs to anyone but you abruptly drags him out of his reverie.
His gaze snaps into focus on the case file in JJ’s hand, and he blinks away the final remnants of the dream.
“Reid, you okay?” Derek’s voice is gentle, and Spencer knows what he must look like — messy hair, messy mind, messy thoughts of you.
“Yeah,” He blinks away the concern, but his eyes meet your gaze. Spencer looks away before he can linger, but knows you’re watching him in his peripheral vision.
He wants you to stop. He wants you to continue. He doesn’t know what he wants.
Another case completed, another criminal caught.
The BAU bullpen is dark, lit only by the light escaping Hotch’s office and the lamp on Spencer’s desk. It’s late, even for you, and you’re still not entirely sure why Spencer told you to “come find me later.” But he’s always led to more questions than answers, and you find him muttering over the case file as you approach his desk.
“Hey,” your voice can’t be more than a whisper, and he pulls his eyes away from the gruesome images in his hand.
“Hey,” comes his reply.
“You, uh… you wanted to see me?” Your hands fumble together, touching the finger where your promise ring once was.
“Yeah, I…” Spencer pauses, lets his mind catch up to his mouth, thinks through what he wants to articulate. He’s not entirely sure why he asked you to come, either, but he knows that he misses you and he wants to apologise. And the words that leave his mouth aren’t pretty, they don’t solve anything—all Spencer knows is that he loves you and should have never given you up, distraction or no. He’s realised that he cannot afford to lose you. “Is it selfish for me to miss you?”
You blink in surprise, staring at the lonely brunette before you. There’s something in his eyes that suggests he really does miss you, really does regret letting you go. But if he truly needed you, truly loved you, why would he let you go?
“You don’t need me, Reid,” you eventually sigh, and your words hurt him in more ways than one. “You said so yourself. I’m an unwanted distraction, remember? Of course you remember.”
What happened to Spence? What happened to you? What did he allow to happen?
“Of course I need you, I always need you,” the words leave his mouth before he can think, before he can analyse your tone and speech pattern and wrap his head around the fact that you think he doesn’t need you. As if it hasn’t always been you.
Instead, you shake your head, and back away from him. Spencer seizes the opportunity to drink you in—eyes slightly glassy, arms crossed against your chest, head turned away from him. Tears that mean you’re upset, distance that means you’re uncomfortable, all signs pointing to the glaringly obvious truth that he’s lost you for good.
“Don’t— Don’t do that, don’t profile me like one of our UnSubs.” Your voice has hardened now, and he brings his gaze from your posture to your eyes. “You clearly don’t know me at all.”
“y/n, I—”
Your name on his lips is desperate, and it takes every ounce of your will to not take the extra step into his arms. But you pause, silent, waiting for him to continue.
His silence speaks volumes. You know that if you linger, if you allow yourself to touch him, you’ll never be able to walk away. So you turn toward the exit, head stubbornly facing forward.
Risking a final glance, you allow yourself one second to drink him in. To admire the way a strand of hair curls over his forehead, framing his features. To look into the brown of his eyes, to wonder at the depths of his imagination and ingenuity. To love his gentle heart.
But the second’s up, and you leave the BAU a hollow vessel.

2.6k smut & fluff
Tumblr media
I walked in the bar and smiled when I noticed a bunch of my friends sitting at a table. It was the worst day of a bad week but I was hoping the evening would change my luck. I hadn't expected to find my boyfriend in bed with an other girl and even if I had been suspicious for a while, I wanted to believe it was just me being paranoid. It was not, and I was embarrassed. The break-up and betrayal were so fresh that It was tough to hide the anger and sadness on my face but when I walked closer to the table, I saw him. Niall Horan. Suddenly, the thought about my now ex boyfriend cheating on me almost completely vanished. If there was one person I always wanted to be around, it was definitely Niall. I could hear his laugh from where I was and it immediately made my heart jump in my chest.
It's not like I was in love with Niall or anything, but it was hard not to have at least a little crush on him. He turned around slightly and noticed me, his eyebrows raising and his lips curling right before he raised his arm up. I licked my lips and walked to the table, saying hi to everyone and sitting next to him. He turned on his chair to face me, one of his arm on the table and his other hand holding the back of his chair as he stared at me. I was a bit scared of what he was going to tell me but it was impossible not to feel good when so close to him.
"You didn't deserve that.. you deserve so much better"
The words made my lips part and I turned my head to look at him, surprised. It was not what I had expected and I just licked my lips.
"Seriously, Y/N, you're so golden. He never saw how incredible you are. I don't think you see it much yourself."
I wanted to turn it into a joke and ask him how much he had to drink but the way he was looking at me made me speechless and I just pressed my lips together as my heart started beating faster. He was gorgeous, that much had always been through, but his eyes roaming lovingly on my face made my heart twist in my chest. I didn't know if it was because it was broken and needed love, or because I had always lied to myself about the strength of my feelings for him, but at that exact moment, all that mattered was him.
"You deserve a drink." he let out, his lips curling a bit on the left.
I watched him get up and my eyes followed him to the bar and then back to the table. He sat again next to me, putting my favorite drink in front of me and smiled. I looked down at is lips and my heart skipped a beat at the thought of feeling them all over me. I blinked a few times and swallowed, trying to push the images away and just thanked him.
After a few hours, everyone had followed his example and I couldn't keep track of how many drinks i had consumed. I tried to count the number of friends sitting around the table but could never finish simply because every time my eyes fell on Niall, I lost count.
I stopped when I realized he was looking at me too and bent closer to him, putting my empty glass on the table. He smelled good, so good i felt slightly dizzy for a few seconds, but he didn't move, and I licked my lips.
"I don't know if you feel the same, but I really want to end up in your bed tonight." I whispered, feeling my lips brush slightly against the skin of his neck as I talked. "I've always wanted it, I just never had the guts to say it before. And I was sort of in a relationship with an asshole. But I'm free now, and if you want me tonight, I'm yours."
I fought the urge to kiss his neck and just moved back slightly to look in his eyes. The surprise I read on his face almost made me laugh. Clearly, he hadn't expected those words to come out of my lips and if I wanted to be honest, I was a bit shocked by my own boldness, too, but I was too desperate and tipsy to care. His eyes roamed on me and after a while, he breathed in deeply as if he had been holding his breath the whole time.
"We need a cab."
I don't know how long it took us to get to his place, I was too focused on his face and what we were about to do, but when the door closed behind us, I turned around to face him, feeling my heartbeats accelerate.
He took a few steps closer and his hands reached for my cheeks, cupping my face gently, spreading his fingers on my cheeks and jaw. I loved the way he was looking at me and I wanted to tell him but the words got stuck in my throat.
"Do you still want this, or did you change your mind?" he asked in a whisper, making my eyes flutter.
I loved how caring he was, it was something that always made my heart melt, and even if he was as tipsy as I was, he took the time to make sure I was okay with this, and it meant more to me than I could explain.
"You have no idea how bad I want this." I murmured back, right before his mouth crashed against mine.
He parted my lips with his and I immediately moaned in his mouth. He swallowed my whimpers and moved closer, forcing me to back away. When my back pressed against the wall, I smiled through the kiss and he did too.
"I said I wanted to end in your bed but I didn't mean literally." I chuckled, kissing his lips gently. "You can fuck me anywhere you want."
He smirked, his eyes roaming on me and I moved past him, reaching his kitchen and leaning against the counter.
"How about here?" I asked with an amused smile, making him chuckle again.
"We can start here, yea."
I wanted to ask him what he meant but I didn't have time. He kissed he hard again and I couldn't believe how good he tasted. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head, throwing it away right before he pushed down on my pants to take them off. I loved that he seemed as impatient as I was and it made my heart skip a beat. We stood half-naked together, our bodies pressed together, and when I felt his hands under my shirt, I let my head fall back slightly on my shoulders, allowing his lips to brush on my neck. It made a shiver cross my whole body and goosebumps appear on my skin. My hand reached for his hair and I grabbed it hard as his fingers reached for my breasts. His palm brushed on my hard nipples and I felt my pussy throb when he pushed me against the counter. I could feel his hard cock against my thigh and quickly reached for his pants, unzipping them and pushing them down as quick as I could.
"No bra? Really?" he asked, moving his head slightly back and smirking at me, his eyebrows raised. "Did you plan this?"
I shook my head slightly and tilted it, sending him a soft smile. "No, I just wanted to feel free tonight." I admitted, licking my lips before glancing down, noticing his hard cock covered with his white boxers.
Instead to touch him, I took my shirt off and he moved back closer to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and leaving small kisses on my shoulder and down my chest. My eyes rolled back in my head when he sucked on one of my nipples and I held myself with both my hands on the counter behind me.
He kept leaving gentle kisses down my stomach and I couldn't help myself from looking down at him. He sent me an other smirk and moved one of my legs slightly up before pressing his mouth on my pussy. I tensed suddenly and my lips parted when he slipped his tongue inside me and slid it until my clit before sucking on it. I started shaking slightly and breathed in deeply as my eyes closed. I felt relief now that his lips were pleasuring me as if I had been waiting for it all my life. I grabbed his hair again, pushing his face closer to me and ground on him without thinking. The way his lips and tongue worked on me was so amazing that I felt an orgasm form in the pit of my stomach. I pushed him harder between my legs feeling the tip of his nose brush against my clit as he tongue fucked me and just as I came, he brought his tongue back up and pressed it on my clit.
"Oh my god, Niall." I whispered, feeling my legs get weak suddenly as I started seeing yellow spots.
I closed my eyes and when I finally relaxed, he moved back on his feet and kissed me hard. I could taste myself on his tongue and for some reason, it turned me on.
"You look tensed, would you like a massage?" I asked with a chuckle, making his lips curl.
"Maybe."
I bit my bottom lip and tilted my chin up to look at him as both my hands reached for his cock. I squeezed it in my hands and started stroking his dick slowly, staring in his eyes.
"It's your turn, tell me what you want."
"I want you, laying on my table, legs spread." he whispered, moving his face closer and leaning his forehead against mine. "I want to feel my cock balls deep in your pretty little cunt."
"You've got a dirty mouth." I pointed out, raising my eyebrows and smiling at him.
"You have no idea."
I chuckled and pushed gently on his chest, walking to his table and sitting on it. I waited until he walked to me and placed himself between my legs. I brought my hand behind his head and pulled him close to kiss him as my other hand reached for his cock. I didn't expect him to be as hard as he was and it turned me on again to know that eating me out had made him horny. I stroked him gently, making him groan low and finally, I laid down slowly on the table before he moved even closer to me. I could feel his cock push between my legs, only separated by the fabric of his boxers and without thinking, I moved my hips to feel his rub against my pussy. It made me whimper and he brought his thumb to my clit and rubbed it gently. My lips parted and I held my breath at how good it felt even if I had just came and when he pushed two of his fingers inside me, I squirmed and let out a short whimper again.
"What are you waiting for?"
He looked up in my eyes and took his cock out, lining it with my pussy and licked his lips.
"I've waited so long for this."
His confession made my lips parted and my heart threaten to jump out of my chest but I didn't have much time to think. He pushed himself quickly and easily inside me, helped with the vestige of my orgasm and his spit. He was so hard inside me that I almost reached an other orgasm right away but instead to start fucking me, he leaned closer to me and kissed my lips so lightly that I barely felt it physically. Mentally, on the other hand, it made something explode in my stomach. He moved his hips back and then thrust back inside me as his fingertips reached for my cheek, pushing a lock of hair out of my face.
"Fuck, you feel so good."
His eyes found mine and once again, the way he was looking at me made me feel dizzy. It was the way we connected without really understanding why that confused me and made me ecstatic at the same time.
"Mm, you're gonna make me cum again." I admitted in a breath.
He started fucking me harder, making the whole table move in rhythm with us, and when he pushed his face against my neck, I knew he was cumming. His thrust became sloppy and his hips kept moving hard against me as he grabbed my hand. I heard him groan near my ear and it brought me to my own peak, my fingers squeezing his so tight I was scared I would actually hurt him.
I don't know how we ended up in his bed but when I woke up the next morning, he was still sleeping and I remained on my stomach, holding myself with both my elbows as I stared at him. I had felt something the night before, and despite the fact that it had been mainly sexual between us, something was telling me that feelings were involved somehow.
His eyes fluttered open after a few minutes and he yawned with a smile when his eyes met mine.
"Sorry if it's creepy." I let out, pressing my lips together.
"Not creepy, it's cute."
I didn't expect his next move but he moved his upper body and put his hand behind my head, pulling me closer for a kiss. I enjoyed the feelings of his warm lips against mine and smiled.
"I'm happy you're not with that fucking prick anymore." he confessed low. "But I'm so sorry he hurt you."
"You never liked him, did you.."
Niall's eyes roamed on my face and he finally shook his head. "No, and the fact that I've always liked you didn't help." My lips parted and my eyes got bigger, making him laugh. "You didn't know?"
"N-No..."
His face became serio0us this time and he breathed in deeply, his eyes never leaving mine. "I do, I really like you. If it's only sex for you, I understand, but I wanted to tell you."
"It's not only sex." I admitted, swallowing the lump in my throat and fighting the tears. "I feel good with you, Niall. You make me feel safe. No one else does that."
Slowly, his lips curled and I moved closer to kiss them gently. "Thank you for last night."
"Don't thank me." he replied, kissing me again. "It's an honor just to know you like this."
He brushed his nose against mine and chuckled again. "What do we do now?" he continued i a low tone.
I wanted to give us a chance, even if I knew it may have been a bit too fast after the break-up but if I wanted to be honest, I didn't care. He was not filling the hole in my chest, he was not some sort of rebound. I had real feelings for him, and there was no way I was going to pass the chance to live something epic with him.
"For now, how about breakfast?"
A smirk quickly appeared on his lips and he rolled us to be on top of me. I let out a short and surprised yell before I started laughing. Once again, he moved closer to me and brushed his bottom lip against my top one.
"I want you for breakfast."

Letter 4: 🦈 Dancing with Danger 🦈
A letter arrives in the mail. It’s crumpled, with various black splotches littering the page--as though someone was too impatient to wait for the ink to dry before starting to scrawl the next sentence. Oddly enough, the paper is also dusted with what appears to be... crumbs and flavored powder from chips. Was the writer eating while they were penning this?
A hastily wrapped parcel comes with the letter. Upon unwrapping it, you’re greeted with the most ugly looking keychain accessory you’ve ever seen. It sort of resembles a shrimp in its shape, its form patched together with various patterns that don’t go together at all: paisleys, plaids, polka dots, cheetah spots, zebra stripes, holographic print... The shrimp lacks a uniform gaze, with one googly eye being noticeably larger than the other, and its stitched smile is lopsided.
***Spoilers for chapters 3, 4, and 5!***
Hiii, Koebi-chan!
Now’s about the time of year when we say our thanks! ... is what Azul told me. I dunno why I gotta write it down, though! It’d be much quicker to tell you in person! That way, I can also make sure that you stick around to hear all of it. Lots of guppies try to run away when I just wanna talk to them! I don’t mind. Sometimes chasing them’s just as fun as holding them down is~
How are Kani-chan, Saba-chan, and Rakko-chan doing? Are they up for making more deals with Octavinelle? It was waaay less work at the Mostro Lounge with them helping out. Watching the anemone bounce on their heads while we bossed them around was cute~ Azarashi-chan made for a nice, fluffy dish cloth, too! You guys should fill in for me at the Mostro Lounge. Or!! I could skip my shift and just play with all of you instead~ Let’s go swimming together, or play tag in the water! I promise I’ll be really gentle this time!
Azul tells me that I throw too many fits, and that I’m hard to calm down when I get upset. But you know what I think? He’s just as bad--but I stick with him cuz it keeps things interesting~ You never know what he’s cooking up next! That’s why... I’m happy that you brought him back to us. It looks like I’ll get to enjoy bullying Azul again, thanks to Koebi-chan’s squad!
He doesn’t like to show it, but Azul’s actually squishy! Like, reallllly squishy! Jade and I always used to poke him and prank him just to see how he’d react actually, we still do that. Azul doesn’t cry as much anymore, so maybe that crybaby octopus I knew grew up a bit. That time was the first in a while that he broke down... so I made sure to give him a good squeeze to remind him not to scare us like that again~
Come to think of it, Koebi-chan scared us during winter break. You crashed right into the Mostro Lounge! Boy, was Azul angry and not with me or Jade for once... but in a way, I’m glad you did show up. That was the start of our Scarabia adventure!
We were like secret agents breaking in and making off with secret treasure even if I had to do the boring job this time and be distraction for Umihebi-kun! I kinda wish Azul let me borrow a deep voice for longer... It was funny seeing your face when you heard me for the first time! I wanted to see how the professors and the other guppies would react, too!
Rakko-chan cried a lot when we rescued Umihebi-kun. I wonder why? Even though Umihebi-kun backstabbed him and lied and tried to take everything from him, Rakko-chan was still so happy to get him back. Maybe he’s just too nice. Maybe cuz the desert isn’t a fish eat fish world like the sea is.
... But maybe ... just maybe... if I look back on it... I can see a little of Azul in him. And then... I can understand Rakko-chan’s feelings. Just a little bit.
Enough about that sad stuff, though!!
I’m so glad I ditched selling those stupid drinks at the cultural festival! (Can you believe Azul got mad at me for that?) I got to see Beta-chan-senpai and all the others dance on that big stage! Watching everyone up there made me wanna jump up and dance, too! Maybe I’ll join next time. Azul can be my manager, and Jade can be the water boy! Your job is to cheer for me from the audience~ Be sure to clap and shout extra loud when I snag the win for NRC, okay?

Rewatch of ep1 time!!
The little girl dressed as Nat in the theatre smiling at Clint 😭
Dude asking Clint for a selfie in the bathroom still gets me (but also how damn sad he is to see people scribble shit like Thanos was right)
He looks so awkward when the restaurant offer his meal for free, it breaks my heart that he thinks he’s not worthy of any of that
Kate really does look amazing in a tux
I love that Kates first instinct upon seeing a dog is to say hi and talk to it
“What’s your name?” / “that’s the problem, Gary, you don’t even know my name”
Kate being able to sort of hold her own again the Tracksuit Mafia but Not being able to get out of Clint’s grip at the end makes me feel things I don’t understand ahah
But also Clint just straight up taking them all out it’s the COMPETENCE Amy I can’t 😂🙈
OK, OK, OK SO...
The writers of this show are a blessing for recognizing that clint is so thoroughly underappreciated both in and out of the mcu. Like, the obvious part of this is how he reacts to Kate adoring him and being so excited to meet him, but just the little moments like the girl and the waitstaff and GRILLS. My boy finally getting recognition and I love that for him.
Kate is me and I am Kate: chatting to puppers and wants nothing more in life than for Hawkeye to like her.
This phase marvel really said "we are going to give you so many well-rounded, relatable, badass women" and I am HERE for it. Like, I already loved Katie, but they put their whole ass into giving her the debut she deserves and hailee is amazing.
I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH HOW STRONG CLINT IS FOR EVER. Ok, so comic!clint's pull strength on a bow is about 250kg. Most olympic level archers have a pull strength of about 60-70kg. MAN IS STRONG. MAN COULD PICK ME UP AND THROW ME INTO A WALL AND I WOULD THANK HIM.
He might not have supersoldier serum or anything but Clint could one-hit a guy no problem. Also, many wall-pinning thoughts and feelings have arisen from this scene, thank you very much.
I feel like the only real look we got at spy-clint in the movies was (aside from his 'I need an eyeball", taking out the guards bit while under loki's control in avengers) is him using morse code to contact nat in AoU?? And we were OVERDUE to see him like this. THE MAN IS A BADASS. NO POWERS, JUST RAW SKILL AND SARCASM

This for the commentary! BECUASE ANGST!
"You knew." He breathed, incredulous.
Saegyth stood up and started to walk toward him "Finan, I-"
"Since when ?" He cut her.
She swallowed, knowing there wouldn't be any excuses to the answer. "A few days." She said softly in hope he wouldn't hear.
"A few days ?! And ya didn't tell me!" He shouted and she bit her lips, she had never seen him angry. He passed a hand on his face, and when it dropped back to his side, his anger seemed to have vanished. Instead, he looked at her and determined, he closed the few steps separating them, taking her face between his hands. "Let's marry, we can do it in the mornin' and all this bullshit is over."
His eyes searched for hers, sparking with love and hope, but she couldn't meet them. How much she wanted to say yes, but the simple word would have tragic consequences that she couldn't bear. Her hands slowly curved around his wrist, moving his palms away.
"So they kill you and make me a widow again?" She said, trying to not succumb to Finan's deception. "I don't want to be your widow, Finan."
"But I can't let this happen!" He protested, his wrist leaving her hands abruptly. He didn't speak for an instant, breathing heavily. "I love ya." He genuinely said.
Saegyth wondered how the words that used to make her the happiest woman on earth could now hurt her so much. She wanted to reply that she loved him as well, that she doubted being able to ever love someone else like this, but it would just be selfish. Like it had been to not tell him the moment she knew Aelwulf's plan. Instead she avoided him, lied about her time spent with her brother and Aelswith when she was in fact with Wolstan, only because she was afraid to lose him.
But now she had to. She had to let him go.
"I don't have any other choices Finan." She simply said.
"And what am I supposed to do, then ?" He asked angrily but she knew it was more than just anger, he was utterly lost and desperate.
"You should leave, Finan."
She replied quite spontaneously and his face fell right in front of her. There wasn't even anger nor sadness, he was just astonished. He stepped back, his mouth opened, searching for something to say. But he finally closed it and nodded before leaving the house, the door slamming behind him.
Saegyth took a moment to realise what just happened. She fixed the door, holding her breath, hoping he would come back. But he didn't. She eventually exhaled, her hand covering her mouth as a sob escaped her. Her heart was tight in her chest, hurting and keeping her from breathing correctly. Tears cascaded on her cheeks and she had to rest her hand on the table to not fall, her legs suddenly incapable to support her. She slowly sat on the floor, crying of pain as if she got hit by an arrow, but the ache deeper and with nothing to soothe it.
God obviously that full of bread moment 😂
I honestly love this moment, because I love drama you know ;).
Finan is acting quite like he must have done in the past with his lover, asking Saegyth to give everything up for love. But she has a certain sense of duty (thank god not as strong as Ailis, you know what I mean lmao) and she would have felt guilty if people had died because of a selfish decision.
To imagine the "i love ya" always makes me want to cry, poor Finan is just dropping his last card but there's nothing to do and he probably knows it already but tries anyway.
For the "You should leave" I was inspired by a scene in Reign, where Francis asks Mary to leave for some reason i don't remember. The context is very different (well they also kinda break up for what must have been the 100th time now), but I thought I should mention it anyway lmaoo
Finally, the last lines about Saegyth crying is in fact a description of what I have felt myself and how I reacted when losing someone dear to me months back when I wrote it. It was painful to write, to bring myself back at this moment, but it made me feel so much better after, to have succeeded to put words on it. I am really proud of these lines and I hope i have succeeded to make yall feel the emotions.
Okay, so I think I am good for this one ahah! Thank you for asking 🥰
Fun fact: in a first idea, Saegyth was supposed to learn about the wedding in Coccham and not keep it a secret so long to Finan, but I never dug more this idea ahah

for your entertainment — han jisung
word count: 2.3k
summary: jisung panics when he sees cute people. he also stares at them.
Tumblr media
so you work at an entertainment store right
where ppl can buy like uhhh movies and albums n merch n stuff!!
u like ur job.. it’s one of the least popular stores in the mall so u spend most of ur time organizing and reorganizing with one earbud in listening to music
u have to wear a boring grey t-shirt as uniform so u spice things up by making the rest of u look good
everyone else does the same thing i mean … ur manager lia wears purple eyeshadow ok
ur other manager chris doesn’t even try to look good! and it’s so fucking annoying u wanna knock his fuck 24/7
random girl: hehe<3 can i have ur number?
chris: only if u sign up for our rewards program<3
u, angry bc u haven’t sold any rewards programs in a week: >:(
ur other two co-workers are hyunjin and jeongin.
hyunjin has a pretty popular youtube dancer cover channel, but for Copyright Reasons it’s not paying the bills
and jeongin is a senior in high school and this is his first job and u just wanna pinch his little cheeks every time u work together
“y/n i swear to god i’m gonna punch u and get fired rn stop POKING MY CHEEKS-”
“he’s just a little baby…*to passing customer* LOOK AT THE BABY!”
“>:(((“
so it’s a tuesday night.
tuesday nights are the fucking best (worst if u love talking to ppl) bc u’ll get like … 2 customers in 4 hours?
it’s 8pm and the mall closes at 9
usually u start vacuuming at 8:30 but at like 7:50 chris was like “GET THE FUCKING VACUUM WE’RE CLOSING RN !!”
jeongin: u do it.
u: no u do it bitch.
jeongin: *sticks out his fist*
u sigh and do rock paper scissors like the baby wants.
and u lose
u fucking lose
and jeongin just cackles, sitting down on the stool behind the registers
so u trudge to the back room and the vacuum, grumbling about how ur older so jeongin should be doing this!!
but it’s fine!
so you’re vacuuming right.
and in storms Han Jisung
yes han jisung is the kinda dude to come to the mall right before closing and go on a shopping spree
he’s got his best friend lee minho in tow, who does Not look happy to be here.
“come on minho!! i need to get season 4 of naruto to finish my collection!!” jisung whines, pulling on his friend’s arm as he stands on his tiptoes to look for the anime section.
“can you keep your voice down?? i have an image, yanno.”
“minho you’re literally here to buy a kelly clarkson album.”
minho grumbles and waddles off towards the cds, where you are...vacuuming...loudly
and minho’s like -____- why are u so fucking loud
like u don’t MEAN to be loud?? but it’s a VACUUM??
so minho’s looking for his beloved kelly clarkson album right,
and jisung comes around the corner, season 4 of naruto in tow.
and he sees you
and nearly drops it
jisung gets crushes very easily okay..
he can’t help it! the boy loves to love (◕‿◕)♡
and u look so cute in ur lil t-shirt!! like a little retail angel!!
so he grabs minho’s arm and DRAGS HIM TO where the movies are
and he panics!
“THEY’RE SO CUTE AAH I WANNA GIVE THEM A BIG FAT HUG-”
“do you mean the person vacuuming -__- loud as hell”
“minho it’s a vacuum.”
so you stop vacuuming and return the vacuum to the back room (and wash ur hands in the bathroom bc the soap smells like lemons and sunshine) and come back to the floor
u have a ton of time until closing so u just. sit.. and start reorganizing the heavy metal albums.
after a while u feel … weird … like ur being watched
so u turn around and. there they are. staring like (・_・)
and ur like “HELLO?!?!” but u don’t say anything
u just give them a Customer Service Smile and a, “can i help you with anything?”
jisung just giggles and shakes his head and minho keeps fuckign staring
mr lee i will knock ur fuck is that what u want
so u shrug and go back to ur sorting, keeping an eye on the CREEPS in ur store.
at 8:55 chris is like “jeongin go close the gate.” n jeongin’s like “FUCK YEAH” bc he gets to hold a big stick
so he’s walking towards the front of the store with his Big Stick when he sees jisung and minho
“what da hell are y’all doing?” is what he thinks but he says, “(: hi! the store closes in five minutes and i’m about to close the front gate. i’m so sorry, but you have to leave now! :)”
so jisung pouts and minho rolls his eyes, dragging his friend out of the store.
jeongin uses his Big Stick to pull the gate down and he locks it at about mid calf level so y’all can get out.
so that night, u go home and do some homework, but ur still thinking about those weirdos.
but! u’ll probably never see them again!
right?
Wrong.
u see them the next day!
they’re still watching u, but they’re closer
and minho looks more irritated.
towards the end of the night, ur Upset and Confused so u go over to them like o_o. What do u want.
and jisung goes JISJSJHTIE
and minho goes, “jisung thinks you’re cute.”
u start to blush, but jisung squeaks, “NO ahah- uh- he likes to talk in third person! he’s jisung ahaha.”
“my name is not jisung i would Hate to be named jisung.”
“WH- why? there’s a soccer player named jisung. and an idol! multiple idols!”
“yeah the guy in nct is 2 years younger than you and has the same name. and what have You done successfully? Quickly-”
“HEY-”
the two boys in front of u bicker while u start zoning out at the wall behind them.
you knew that the boy with blue hair was jisung, but you didn’t know the one with brown hair. and you assumed that they were friends, judging by the .. bonding activity that is staring at an employee.
and jisung wasn’t …. ugly
like he was really … really cute
but staring at people is fucking weird, jisung!!
when u finally snap out of it, u huff, “okay losers. we are closing soon. so you have to leave. but you’re welcome to come back tomorrow if you’re going to actually talk to me and not just stand in the corner! okay?”
the boys nod, grinning at each other before dashing out of the store.
so, like u said, they’re back the next day!
and this time they actually talk to u! Wow!
you’re sitting on the floor in the back of the store, organizing the funko pops for the 70th time when you feel A Presence.
two, actually.
it’s the two boys, sitting on either side of u.
“hi,” jisung says, playing with his fingers in his lap.
“you’re jisung, right? the cute one..” u reply absentmindedly
u hear a choking sound and then Silence
miss jisung ? miss JISUNG ?
he’s alive, but jfc BARELY
u just called him the CUTE ONE?!?!?
paying no mind, u turn to the boy on ur right, “and you are?”
“lee minho. don’t worry, you won’t forget it.”
“was that supposed to be a pick-up line?”
“did it work?”
“no.”
“HAH!” and jisung’s alive again.
u spend the rest of ur shift talking to the boys, telling them all about ur life while they told u about theirs
u learned that minho was a dancer just like hyunjin! but he went to the nearby university to study.
and that’s where he met jisung, who’s a music composition major
...and a soundcloud rapper…
u could help the laugh that pushed past ur lips at his words
“WHY ARE U LAUGHING.”
“a SoundCloud rapper. really, sung?”
“IT’S COOL ヾ(`ヘ´)ノ゙”
u couldn’t imagine him as a ‘cool’ rapper dude
he just looked so fluffy :(
at 8:55, the boys got kicked out by jeongin again, but they stood outside the gate, waiting for u
“What do y’all want.”
“i wanna walk u to ur car:(“
“i don’t.”
“ok minho then Leave.”
“NO DON’T he’s my ride don���t say that to him.”
it’s dark outside, and a warm wind blows through ur hair.
it’s late spring, with summer (and finals) fast approaching.
“walking me to my car...what a gentleman…”
“yeah that’s why you should totally go on a date with me haha.”
“what?”
“what?”
“you said-”
“i didn’t say anything.”
minho sighs from behind u, not understanding why his best friend has to be so damn stupid all the time
u lean on ur driver’s side door, not making eye contact with the boy
u didn’t know how to say bye..no one’s ever walked u to ur car before??
“so…” jisung speaks for u, “can i … have your number? so i don’t show up at the store when you’re not working.” he holds his phone out for u to take, a sheepish smile barely visible due to the lights in the parking lot.
“oh! totally.” you take the phone from him, jolting when ur fingers graze his. u set ur contact as ‘the person sungie likes to stare at~” before giving it back to him.
he chuckles at the name, and u feel something inside of u go DOKIDOKI
when he says goodnight and walks away, minho giving u a quick nod, u lock urself in ur car so u can PANIC
u barely know this boy. he’s a weirdo. why is ur heart going dokidoki
heart STOP IT!!
it only gets worse when u hear the text notification sound from ur phone:
[ unknown ]: do u work tmrw? (^_−)☆ i already miss u
…. frick …. he texts cute
dammit jisung why couldn’t u send the laughing emoji
[ y/n ]: i do ! ^.^ i’ll see u then?
[ creeper ]: wouldn’t miss it~ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ goodnight!
u nearly slam ur head on the steering wheel.
true to his word, jisung was back the next day
and the day after that
and the day after that
the day after That, u were off, so u didn’t see him
but u guys texted nearly all day!
jisung was just … really easy to talk to :/
and really funny :/
and every time he giggled u just wanted to cry a little bit :/
and u feel like a CLOWN bc u have a CRUSH on this dude that hangs out with u at WORK
one day, ur at work, and jisung isn't there:((
u feel a little dumb being upset about it, but u were starting to get used to the little guy
“somebody looks like a sad clown.”
“hyunjin~” u whine.
“oh no. that’s the boy problems whine. uhhh suddenly i’m on break!” he tries to stand and walk away, but u pull him back down next to u.
see, u and hyunjin were pretty close.
u two are the same age and watch the same dramas.
and ur both super dramatic
which is WHY when u got ur heart broken by lee donghyuck a few months after u started working there, he was ur shoulder to cry - and complain - on.
“stop :( there was this boy who came in every day and talked to me and he’s super cute but he’s not here today and i miss him :(“
hyunjin just …. stared at u like …. wtf are u talking about
“do you have his number?”
“yes.”
“have you texted him to ask why he’s not here today?”
“...no…”
“(; ̄Д ̄) Y/N U FUCKIN FOOL!!! U ABSOLUTE IMBECILE!!!”
“STOP YELLING AT ME HWANG HYUNJIN I’LL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!”
a customer standing in front of the register, trying to buy some headphones: uh.. should i go?
u make hyunjin deal with the customer while u sneak out ur phone to text jisung
[ y/n ]: where are u . no one is here 2 annoy me today (except hyunjin but he doesn’t count)
u wait 5 minutes … no reply
10 minutes … no reply
an hour … no reply
“WAAAAA 。・゚゚*(>д<)*゚゚・。 HYUNJIN 。・゚゚*(>д<)*゚゚・。”
hyunjin, handing a poor lady her receipt: jesus fucking christ
ur sulking as u leave the store that night
u still feel dumb, but now ur too Sad to feel dumb
u press the lock button on ur car keys so the lights would come on and the horn would sound, telling u where ur car was
“OH FUCK- jesus...stupid car…”
….that’s not what ur car horn sounds like.
u slowly approach, holding ur keys in between ur fingers
ur not afraid to stab a bitch with ur mail key and that’s on wolverine.
u breathe a sigh of Relief when u see it’s just jisung leaning against ur door
wait
jisung
“jisung?” u voice ur thoughts
his hand comes up to rub the back of his neck, “yeah..hi..sorry i didn’t text you back. i nearly backed out of doing this and i didn’t wanna look stupid.”
“you look stupid all the time.”
“jeez, thanks.”
u cross ur arms, stepping closer to the boy, “back out of what?”
“well i uh- do you remember how minho said i think you’re cute on the first day we talked?”
you nod.
“well...that hasn’t changed. i think you’re cute...really cute, actually.”
you blush again, just like the first time, “what does me being cute have to do with you standing in front of my car?”
“well, i don’t have a car, so i’m hoping...you can drive when we go on our first date?”
your heart nearly stops, but you start to smile.
“han jisung, are you asking me out?”
“are you saying yes?”
“yes.”
“then yeah. i am.”
your smile only gets wider as you close the gap between you two, wrapping your arms around his middle. he pats your head, a chuckle vibrating under your ear.
“also i need a ride home. minho dropped me off.”
“*sigh* jisung…”

Hi!! I have never gotten this before so I thought it would be super cool to ask for one ahah
may i be matched to a haikyuu character? 🥺 thank you!! <3
Pronouns: she/her
Gender Preference: male
MBTI Type: I just took it for the 1000th time a few days ago and got INFP-T (but I would tend to also get ISFP dsfkjs)
Astrology Placements: Scorpio Sun, Pisces Moon, Gemini Rising, Sagittarius Venus, Pisces Mars (if it helps)
Physical Description: long straight black hair that reaches the middle of my back, dark brown eyes (that apparently makes me look like i have eyeliner sometimes) with long thick black eyelashes, light-medium neutral skin, 5'5", i apparently have long legs, thick thighs, cute butt (LMAO im just listing wut ppl have described of me too sdfkj), soft hands with quite long fingers, pretty basic body i would say sdfjhsd, and i apparently make things look expensive (i love fashion) i would say the best way to describe what i wear is probably (dark) academia but i like just wearing whatever i like--i don't like to limit myself to a certain aesthetic.
Personality Description: with new people/in first meeting, i tend to be quiet or generally don't speak much but once i warm up to you, im a really playful person or at least i really enjoy acting that way.
im honest but i should remember that my words can cut sometimes (rip), ive been described to be incredibly kind (sdfkh)... maybe because i tend to put so much energy and effort and time into other people or my relationships (friends, family, literally anyone that comes into contact with me for a decent amount of time)
i tend to act or do things according to how i feel but despite having that trait of mine or having that inclination, i can still very much be realistic. as i act according to how i feel, i have been described to act younger than my age and i doooo and i aint gonna deny it pfftt ima OWn That sHiT
i have no problem with acting like a child. i love rain, i love water, i love the ocean, i love cafes or the smell of coffee, i love the smell of fresh laundry and feeling the warm fabric (caused by drying in the sun or from a dryer lmfao) of whatever it may be (clothes, bedsheets) on my fingertips..
i love self development or just trying to be better and combined with me loving or liking a lot of different things, i try a lot of things--therefore not really becoming a master at anything dkjfhfsd. and because of that.. (i think) because i try a lot, putting quite a bit of effort into my.. goals (i have perfectionistic and overachieving tendencies) i guess.. when it fails (ofc) im incredibly disappointed, and become pretty... fucking sad hhh and when that happens.. i start to become more lazy/complacent 🤡
..bonus (if u wanna sprinkle some "angst" i guess LMAOO): i overthink a lot (so i start to have difficulty making smarter decisions or thinking of strategies to solve my problems + i still have a sprinkle of self-esteem issues of course... feeling incredibly incompetent is not foreign to me) so i could exaggerate my troubles or make a problem out of nothing 😶, im quite emotional, i have the "dismissive avoidant" attachment style, feeling hopeless quite often aint foreign to me either 😭
bonusbonus: (wow dont i love talking about myself? sdfknsd) i love corgis
Hobbies: dancing, witchcraft, astrology, divination, spirituality, reading fan fiction (LMAOOOO), reading visual novels/playing otome games, painting, drawing, looking into psychology in some type of manner, netflix, swimming, watching anime i guess, trying new things, learning something (new)
Ideal Date: tbh going to a concert of an artist we both enjoy, an arcade or an amusement park (im like a scaredy cat but im almost 100% sure im more likely to go for the “scary” rides if i was with someone i enjoyed hanging out with anyway), probably going on a tropical vacation (cus, beach anddd water activities), water amusement park !!
A Must Have in my Partner: they have to be okay with me pursuing my goals lol; i already have a problem with putting too much energy into others that i dont get to direct that energy onto myself.. so someone who has my best interest in mind + being considerate of me (because.. of that dismissive avoidant attachment style i would say--im just saying this because its the best that i can describe it) and they should be okay with my childlike actions/tendencies lol (like... they shouldnt be repulsed or something like that--that they treat me unpleasantly because of it or something) (oops i just realized thats more than one when u asked just.. one)
extra information: a short drabble would be amazing !!
sorry this was pretty messy and i pretty much just babbled LMAOO
but again, if ever you get to do this (or even if u dont..)
thank you so much!!!
i hope you have an amazing rest of your day hihi <3
sorry it took me a while ! i was just really busy lately and barely got time to write 😅
hope u enjoyy :)
Tumblr media
I ship you with..
Nishinoya Yuu !!
Tumblr media
- You are the most gorgeous person he knows ;)
- he literally shamelessly approached u the moment he laid eyes on u
- even with ur somewhat quiet first impression, he never gave up making u eventually warm up to him
- doesn’t really mind brute honesty, in fact he thinks of it as a form of bravery
- he also loves seeing your childish side since he himself has one too
- wanna dance around in the rain ?? he will 100% join u !!
- he loves how determined u are to get better and will constantly tell u how proud of you he is for it
- even if things dont go ur way sometimes he will comfort u and tell u that its completely normal to fail sometimes
- there is no overthinking on his watch !
- noya knows how bad it feels and that u definitely deserve a little break but he wont let u laze around too much, trying to help u get back up on ur feet and regain ur confidence is something he never fails to do
- he loves watching u do what u love and is always willing to join u (not that he is always fully understanding of what he is doing)
Tumblr media
BONUS :
Cheering you up on a bad day..
You were getting frustrated trying to fix a mistake you made on one of your paintings. You let out a loud groan hiding your face in your hands in exhaustion, finally giving up. Hearing a loud knock on your door, you tell whoever is outside to come in. “HEY, HOW WAS YOUR- ....day ?” noya looks at you with concern in his eyes. “are you okay ?” “yeah i’m fine, its just that this painting won’t look right no matter what i do” you sigh.“maybe i should just throw it away” “you are not gonna throw it away” he says, his tone completely different from before, more serious in fact. “you might just be tired now, so don’t you dare give up now. you can always try again tomorrow” he says walking towards you and holding your hands in his, a little smile forming on his face. “how about you take a break for now ? the sun is really warm and it’s still early; wanna go swimming ?” You look a little unsure. “you still haven’t used that corgi beach towel i got you” he says, wiggling his eyebrows. You chuckle at that, proceeding to look him in the eyes with a small grin forming on you face, “sounds like a plan”...

I’m reading Blood Like Magic so here’s my live comments
There will 100% be spoilers
Is she sitting in a pool of blood?
A lot of blood.
Ok but the whole Voya not being able to make a decision thing is exactly like me.
Fuck Uncle Cathius.
“And so humble” I LOVE KEIS BEING ABLE TO HEAR HER THOUGHTS
Wait- Alex’s bleeding came from her eyes and ears, but it was said that that’s how it is for the guys since they don’t have a period. Soo.. is Alex trans?
ALEX IS TRANS I LOVE THE REPRESENTATION
Aww i love what Voya’s mom said to her when Voya was becoming insecure about her hips.
Luc may be mean but he sounds hot ;-;
Holy shit- Mama Jova’s scars— my heart hurts for what she had to go through
Holy shit I think we’re watching how Mama Jova died
The year 2049, I’d be 44 years old in this story
Nooo Eden 🥺
Ok but maybe Mama Jova didn’t mean kill him? But also I get why she’d want bloodshed because of the way she died...
Voya just exposed Luc :0
Omg why am I starting to like Luc
I’m a Luc simp but I shouldn’t be
I suck at remembering to write in this. This whole mystery with Auntie Elaine is confusing.
I also loved that scene at the Night Market where Luc gave her a temporary tattoo. It felt like their first real raw bonding moment.
I wonder if Lucs secretly a witch. Like what if he is but he doesn’t know about it.
Aww Luc called over Voya while he was workinggg she’s growing on him.
LMAO DENNIS BEING LIKE HOW TF DID U GET LIC TO TALK TO YOU
Priya holding Edens hand hurts because she’s probably scared it may be the last time she might get to.
AHAH- LUCS LIKE U SURE UR MOM WOULD LET U HAVE A BOY IN UR ROOM, AND VOYA FREEZES AND HES LIKE DIDNT THINK ABOUT THAT DID U
Why was that cute omg
Oh they’re definitely starting to like each other
*clears throat* Lucs letting her get into his personal space
Justin did something to Elaine I know it.
I think Elaine had something to do with Justin discovering the genetic modification thing.
I like Luc and Alex kinda bonding over both being trans.
Are they really talking about her when they know she’s in the house or near it?? Y’all are witches I’d assume you’d be a bit smarter about this.
Omg he went after her crying, my heart.
HE OFFERED TO HUG HER
AWW HES SO AWKWARD IT HURTS
Dammit she has to kill him.
“‘I think you make him flustered.’” MHM YES SHE DOES
I feel so bad for Alex she didn’t deserve to find out that way.
I don’t know if I love or hate that Voya said yes to dinner.
“Every day, more and more cracks in our family get exposed” - my theory is that the whole ‘destroy your first love’ thing is about her family. Voya’s family is her first love and the has to destroy its secrets.
Can we not kill Luc please
Oh shit she killed Juras-
Oh he survived
*cough* they definitely like each other
Man, fuck Justin.
YES GO BE SPONTANEOUS
Peptalkpeptalkpeptalk
“If I give it back, what excuse will I have to keep inviting you places to return it?” STOP HES SO CUTE
I really love the representation of both Luc and Alex being trans. And Keisha being a lesbian.
He’s definitely given her profile more than a ‘glance’
I know I’ve said it before. And it’s probably getting repetitive. But I love the trans representation in Luc.
I feel like Luc is being more soft with Voya, when Voya was like examining his body cuz he told her about how often he eats, he awkwardly was like could u not examine my body. But like with other ppl I feel like he wouldn’t been more snappy with it, cuz as we’ve seen he’s not afraid to be a little mean.
Honestly I get Lucs thing about speaking Spanish to his family and being told he has an accent every time. Happens to me a lot, it’s irritating but I try.
Yes u like him and he likes u it’s so obvious now kiss.
THEY KISSED OMG
They are so adorable please don’t make her kill him.
I am so worried about her watching this.
JOHAN OMG
stop the man was wipping them like how Mama Jova died is that meant to be a sign???
Luc came to see her???
Okay okay but how tf is she supposed to explain to Luc that she got whipped by a magical man or whatever that wat because she wanted to watch a ritual so she could prepare to kill him?? - not even the killing him part, how is she supposed to explain the some magic dude whipped me part?!
No it’s a vision girl don’t believe it.
ITS A VISION STOP IT.
Omg can this girl catch a break she just got badly injured and almost died she doesn’t need this.
WAIT LUC WAS ACTUALLY THERE
WAIT THE THING SHE SAID IN HER VISION DID SHE SAY THEM OUTLOUD?!
CUZ IF SHE DID SHE MENTIONED HURTING JURAS SO LUC WOULD KNOW SHE DID SOMETHING TO JURAS.
NOOOO
I’m upset.
Watching Voya and her dad bind is bittersweet cuz I know he still hurt her despite this bonding moment.
Mama Jova better have a good ass lesson to teach Voya with this task cuz girl is going through it.
I want to see Luc again.
I am so anxious to keep reading cuz I genuinely don’t know what’s going to happen.
I feel like Lucs gonna show up to her cooking competition especially since he can easily find her location.
I WAS RIGHT HE SHOWED UP
Fuck Justin man.
At least he’s the successor
Ok I get Voya wanting to be honest but why would admit that he still considering killing him ;-; for all you know he could be recording this and take it to the cops.
“Are you breaking up with me?” STOP STOP RIGHT NOW
I hate that he blocked her but like -he has a very very valid reason. Surprised he didn’t get a whole restraining order.
Wait wait since Voya broke the circle when they were casting the spell to protect caribana that means there will be no protection and that has to mean something??
I’m betting that something bads gonna happen at the Caribana
I feel like her mom told her until to stay until they got back for a good reason
YAY SHE PASSED BUT WAT DID SHE ASK FOR
Omg I thought Voya got shot—
Ok yes technically Voyas partially to blame for breaking the circle but it’s not entirely her fault
No no no u could’ve just gotten rid of her internship or something but trap her in the house forever? Sorry girl I wouldn’t forgive u either.
I like that Lucs back but it hurts
Holy shit things have gone very south
Ofc he was gonna trap u in glass cage with Eden what did u expect Luc ;-;
Mf I swear to fucking god if u kill granny
Aww Luc and Voyas little moment through the glass. I can tell he feels guilty and still loves her...
He’s still trying to protect her.
Oh shit he’s known since before Luc and Voya even met
They’re not a legitimate genetic match-
THEY STILL FELL FOR EACH OTHER WHO CARES.
I like Voyas thing about him thinking what he had with Elaine was love, because wat they had wasn’t love if he expected her to do anything he asked just because she loved him.
Granny to the rescue
Granny is not to the rescue.
Yes Luc he’s a lying cheat.
Please I thought Luc was destined to die, not Granny 🥺
“Who will by my grandma is she’s gone?” STOP IT RIGHT NOW
“Does it also not matter that I can’t even have a conversation with my parents without arguing? That I’ve forgotten how to speak my own language because you told me it wasn’t important? If the outcome of good, are the consequences irrelevant?” STOP LUC MY BABY DOESNT DESERVE THIS.
Stop that actually hurts cuz Luc sees how great of a relationship Voya has with her family and he’s just there without a relationship with them besides shared genes.
Yes Luc argue with the asshole.
Even tho u were once an asshole.
Edennn 🥺
Omg u love Luc fighting for them
Like I love how Luc fought for Justin to let Granny hug her granddaughter goodbye. It shows he cares and how this really does hurt him especially the way Voya described him wiping away his tears and screaming.
“Granny puts Eden back down on the chair and pauses to stare at Luc. ‘Thank you. ‘Please don’t,’ Luc croaks. ‘Too bad. I already thanked you.’” - Luc probably feels like this is his fault, that’s why he doesn’t want Granny to thank him.
:0 granny was the one who saved Luc from Voya stabbing him in her vision.
I like that Granny respected Voyas wishes of not killing him by saving him herself.
Keis is eternally trapped in the house for nothing.
Seriously.
I mean I’m glad Eden was saved by that but still.
“Why would you tell me this now? Why would you make me sparked as shit with you right as your about to die?” 🥺
She regrets not trusting Voya 🥺
AWW STOP “That means you can’t die. You have to make it up to me. Borrow someone else’s gift. Fix this.”
Granny was always planning making Voya the matriarch.
STOP SHE WONT GET TO BE A MAMA
Omg omg omg it’s Auntie Elaine.
Wait that’s so smart, turning him into the prototype
Omg her killing his body’s was intense—
“Why couldn’t you listen to me? Why couldn’t you find another way?” Luc still cared about Justin but of course he did, he wasn’t the best but it’s still the man who basically raised him.
Aww he tried to save Eden regardless
Omg she almost collapsed
Oh shit. “It’s the Luc I imagined once he knew the truth. That hateful twist to his mouth and narrowing of his eyes.” He hates her.
Wait that’s so sad, him only having the bionic lenses to remember Justin by.
“‘For what it’s worth, I’m sorry. But don’t forget that we both lost someone today.’ Luc shakes his head. ‘You lost someone. I lost everyone.’” - Stopp that’s so sad. Voya lost her granny but she still has her family, but Luc doesn’t have anyone else. He’s absolutely done with Voya, he doesn’t have any other friends, his sponsee siblings seem to hate him, and he argues with his family. Justin was all he had and now that’s gone too...
Sorry I’m mad a Voya too for trapping Keis in the house.
AWW LUC CHANGED THE CHROMOSOME ID THING
“Alex said that now her ID brings up XX the way it should.” I LOVE IT
“I like to think it’s because he’s better than that.” I think he hasn’t threatened or punished them for what happened because deep down he still wants to protect Voya and he’s aware they did it to save themselves and their family.
Woahhh Justina dads death
“The ancestors must love irony.” 💀
I guess she sort of did listen to Luc cuz she’s interning at Roti Roti for Johan.
I hate that Granny’s gone :(
Voyas showing Rena, Lauren’s mom, how she died 🥺
Wait I love that.
“I bring the intent. They bring the blood. We both pay for the gift of magic.”
This was a good book.
I loved the different genres blended together. I loved the magic side of it, it’s witches, and how they had this whole system with a matriarch, and a whole community. I loved the sci fi parts, with the genetic modification and this huge new company NuGene. I loved loved loved the romance between Voya and Luc and how they didn’t get their traditional happy ever after, and how they also weren’t a legit genetic match but they still fell for each other. And I loved the mystery side with figuring out who Mama Elaine was and what important role she played.
I’ll admit the story felt slow in the beginning and I almost decided to turn around and return it for another book but I’m so glad I didn’t because it was a good and eye catching book. But it does upset me and Keis really got the short end of the stick, she spent the whole book working to get a NuGene internship only to end up trapped in the house by the person who pushed her to get the internship.
This was a good book tho I do recommend.
Also Luc never returned Voyas food container.

FINALLY, a new writing, I’ve been so slow on this for some reasons, but here it is !
Originally requested by anon :  Lucy x Reader, where the reader is Caspian’s younger sister? Maybe during Dawn Treader, angst or fluff? Angst is preferred.
Sailing
Pairing : Lucy Pevensie x Caspian’s younger sister!Reader
Warnings : bad ending
Summary : You are Caspian’s younger sister, Princess Y/N of Narnia. You always were put aside, but this time you decided to sail with your brother on the Dawn Treader. You meet Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace, during your trip, and never felt so happy when you spent time with the youngest Pevensie sibling.
Words : 1,5k A/N : So, hum, I got confused by Lucy’s age in votd, so in this she and the reader are 17 or older, I didn’t want it to be awkward ahah. And this is also my first attempt at angst i don’t know if it’s good or something so, feedback is appreciated !
My gif!
Tumblr media
"Caspian, please, let me go with you."
He sighed, crossing his arms.
"No, you have to take care of Narnia while i'll be sailing, I can't risk losing my sister."
"Narnia will be fine without us ! Please, I want to see the world Caspian, i'm sick of always being put aside. I want to sail with you, my brother." Once again, he sighed, losing his patience, he directed himself to the door.
"We'll see later Y/N." He then left the room, you sighed in frustration and sat on your bed.
A few months ago…
You were Caspian's younger sister. Princess Y/N of Narnia. Since young age you were overprotected, you hated it. During the war between Telmar and Narnia, you had to run away, leaving Caspian to his duties. You only got back after his coronation, not even being able to meet the Kings and Queens of Old. After these events, you were in need of adventure. Despite the disapproval of the Lords and your brother himself, you learnt how to fight with a sword, thanks to one of your friend.
You trained hard, hoping you could become useful. During a rainy day, you got back early from your training. When you passed close to the meeting hall, you heard your brother and the Lords speaking. You overheard the conversation and froze when you heard your brother speaking again.
"I'll sail to the Lone Islands, I have to find what happened to the friends of my father. I'll let Y/N rule during my absence."
"King Caspian ! She has no experience for ruling a kingdom, you can not just take this decision like this…" One of the Lords interfered. Everything went silent for a short moment.
"She grew up a lot, I trust her." Caspian sighed before continuing.
"Fine we will see later. You can go."
You heard footsteps, meaning that all of the Lords were leaving the room. You were shaken up by the new informations you learnt. You ? Ruling ? You shook your head. No, you needed adventure. You'll be sailing with Caspian, even if it will be hard to convince him.
***
You watched the Dawn Treader from afar, hand on your sword. Caspian will be leaving in a few days. He was busy, so you couldn't talk to him again. You didn't want to give up yet, you wanted to go with him. Either you could try to speak to your brother again, or you could just make your way into the ship. 
"Are you thinking of doing something that could embarrass me, sister ?"
You jumped and immediately turned around. You saw Caspian smiling a bit, next to your horse.
"Caspian… I-"
"You don't need to explain yourself Y/N. I've been thinking a lot of what you told me this day." He made his way next to you.
"I didn't know how you'd feel about everything that happened to us. I've only been thinking about myself, for that i'm sorry." You frowned.
"What are you saying Caspian ?"
"I'm saying that it would be a pleasure to see you being part of the crew."
You froze, without knowing what to say. You stayed silent for a while, then let out a loud "Thank you !", and gave a hug to your brother. He hugged you back before saying.
"You just have to promise me to be careful."
"Of course I will."
***
It’s already been a few weeks since the Dawn Treader left Narnia for the Lone Islands. Everything went well, the crew was nice to you, and you learned a lot of things from everyone. You’ve never felt so free in your life, and you loved this feeling. You were admiring the infinite beauties of the sea, smiling. A loud yell cut you out of your contemplating.
“Man overboard !” You gasped when you noticed three young people swimming close to the ship. Caspian and other men jumped into the water quickly to bring them back. You went into the quarters to pick up some towels. When you got back you saw Caspian who was brightly speaking with the newcomers. You approached them and gave them a towel and handed the last one to your brother.
“Welcome on board !” You smiled. You figured out that they were around your age, the boy maybe a bit older. You looked at the girl next to him, you almost froze at how pretty she was. You almost got yourself lost in your thoughts until you felt a hand on your shoulders. “Edmund, Lucy, here is my younger sister, Y/N.”
You realized while hearing their names, they were King and Queen of Old. You bowed awkwardly and stuttered.
"I-it's a real pleasure to meet you, your majesties." You heard chuckles.
"It's okay Y/N, there's no need for this kind of formalities. Just call us by our names." Lucy smiled brightly while you raised your head. You smiled back, a little flustered. You heard Caspian moving a bit, as he addressed himself to the crew.
"Everyone ! Welcome the newcomers, Edmund the Just, and Lucy the Valiant. High King and Queen of Narnia." Everyone clapped their hands, including you. You never thought you'll have the chance to meet the Kings and Queens of Old, you were happy. 
"Hum, your majes- uh I mean, Lucy, let's get you clean clothes."
She nodded.
"Sure ! Lead the way."
***
Days passed, you and Lucy spent a lot of time together. You didn't know if it was admiration, or anything else, but you sometimes felt flustered when she was close to you. If not, you could say you felt comfortable, safe with her. She told you how she ruled once, in Narnia, how she lived when she was in her world. You didn't know how to name the feeling you had everytime she was around, but it felt right. 
When you both almost got sold as slaves, you were more scared for her than for yourself. You felt even worse when she almost got abducted. You were furious, and afraid something else could happen to her. During Coriakin’s speech you wouldn’t let go Lucy’s hand, still shaken up by the recent events. 
The entire crew got back on the Dawn Treader, the next step was Ramandu’s Island. You had troubles sleeping this night, the sea was agitated, and you were constantly worried for Lucy. You decided to get up, and you noticed Lucy’s bed empty. Your eyes scanned the room, and you finally saw Lucy close the fire, staring at it. You slowly approached her.
“Lucy, are you okay ?” You murmured.
She jumped and looked at you with sad eyes. “Yes… I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep.” You put your hand on her shoulder.
“You know you can tell me Lucy, if you want to I mean…” She slowly raised her head and looked at you.
“Y/N… Do you think i’m pretty ?” You felt yourself blushing, but she couldn’t see it in the dark. You smiled to her before answering.
“Lucy… Of course you are pretty. You shouldn’t doubt yourself. You’re a Queen, you’re incredible, strong and inspiring. That’s why I lo- like you.” 
She smiled back, and whispered a “Thank you.” before hugging you tight. 
“We should go back to sleep, whatever is happening will drive us crazy, I can feel it.” She broke the hug and you nodded. “I’ll just go see the boys, I’ll be back in a bit.” She left the quarters, leaving you alone. You can not believe you almost told her how you felt. What if she freaked out ? You got back in your bed, with the thought of Lucy smiling to you, and hugging you. You eventually fell asleep a few minutes after, not even thinking of what the future could look like.
And you didn’t expect the future to be that cruel. You were so happy to spend all of your time with Lucy, that you hadn’t thought of her leaving. And here you are, with Caspian, Edmund, Lucy, their cousin, Reepicheep and Aslan. You couldn’t stop the tears while Aslan was speaking. You felt your heart sink shen Lucy came close to you, without saying a word. She opened her mouth but you cut her off by hugging her tight. 
“I don’t want you to go.” Was the only thing you could say between cries. 
“I don’t want to go either Y/N, but I have to.” She broke the hug and caressed your cheek gently.
“I’m glad I could meet you Y/N, I never felt so safe with anyone before.” You could see tears in her eyes. You stay silent before cursing under your breath and finally kissed her shyly. She was a bit surprised but kissed you back. “I love you Lucy, i’ll miss you everyday, you made me so happy the past few weeks. I will never forget you.” She smiled, kissed your cheek and eventually had to leave the embrace. You watched her join her brother and her cousin, feeling your heart break. You saw them disappear behind the water, the last thing you remembered was the sad look of Lucy watching you from afar.

Warning the following content includes swearing ideas of suicide attempted suicide and depression and anxiety and mental illness detailed graphic descriptions and sexual references and criminal acts which could be upsetting to some viewers viewers discretion advised before reading the rest of this post remember this is all of my own oc is not official and I don't know how to make it if it's even possible anyone knows please comment but for now is this is my personal SCP but other Scps mentioned are real as in official
At present day Dizzy has requested out of the blue for an interview it's noted that is SCP has often refused any interviews that is requested to her and any interviews normally that she participates in are immutable, lies or just plain out ignored. But Dizzy has come to researchers and bargains an interview for the deal of being allowed to visit SCP 1508 in private for an hour at least site director... has agreed to the interview and taking Dizzy bargain so long as she doesn't cause any harm at all, any sign of aggression or sines of excitemen stress to anyone during the interview any signs of escape interview and her deal will be off. Dizzy has to where when juring outside of her containment high Dennsery expense gloves to avoid causing inorganic objects to be affected with poison table and area around Dizzy is not to be approached by interviewer or touched juring interview because that would trigger the response of the poston to exploding and causing the effect to happen. Interview Dizzy being green interviewer is in blue
Begin log
Instant silence
You know we could come closer I won't bite, l said I won't hurt anyone and you're standing in the middle of the room on a chair looking like an idiot might as well come closer to the table.
I would but you're leaning your elbows on the table causing your so-called "poison" to infected it and if I touched any object infected with dos green veins I end up suffering norva and diarrhea for the next good 62 hours
sigh what's the point of having these gloves on when everything is already infected with this stuff, there's on point keeping them on
She throws the gloves into a nearby bin
I don't think you're allowed to do that
Err fuck like who's going to care anyway, not like I'm using them anyway
Still if you don't coporate this interview will be over
then herey up and say some God them questions
Alright why a sudden desire to communicate. Until say yesterday you refuse to take any interviews flipping off, telling to f*** off or any other offensive language to anyone who comes near you with the idea of doing any experiments or interviews. And in unlucky situations sometimes you even vandalised there cars, objects rooms, or just make them sick
(A laugh could be heard in a slight giggle) what can I say they deserved it
To you maybe
They do deserve it Dizzy slams her fists onto the table
Calm remember
Yeah I know stay calm or no interview blah you're probably going to ask me about that later in the questions and to answer your question about why I suddenly have the urge to talk to you bush bags I have my reasons but I don't think that's important the only thing your little Foundation fides important is I share my knowledge I ceep carefully to myself so if you want to know anything just ask you're stupid question you had on your mind since the day you started working and found out about me now then I can get on with my day
So long as it ends with you visiting SCP- 1508.
If you mean by Joe which is his name by the way then yes yes I do
Which moves on to the next question why do you dislike when we call you by your designated numbers instead of your name
AAA Dizzy Flores her head back laughing before continuing in a mocking manner you supposed to be smart but still asked me simple easy questions. What to get my opinion it's kind of obvious I don't like being called that because I'm not your property is the degrading and I have a name so I don't see why not use it. it's supposed to be respectful to use somebody's name and I don't see being called at number is very respectful it's why anything or anyone in here that doesn't have a name I give a name
Is that why you break into other SCP containment rooms.
At first usually I just go into the room for entertainment in the form of a conversation or to hopefully make a new friend like and Joe, know any other SCP but then after I get to know them better and I found out they have no identities and some of them are also as miserable as s***. So I give them a name to have an identity with the name.
why do you have the urge to break into other SCP containment for your own entertainment can't use ask for something to keep you entertained
No it's more than just entertainment is the opportunity to travel, explore, marvel and brighten up the day of different objects and people that can usually only be found in fantasy amazing and every experience is almost always something new you can't put a price on that or replicated is not same and it kind of pisses everyone off, so it's an added bonus for me ahah.
Next question are you aware of your other a anomalous traits other than your main one
Do you mean other than the fact that I didn't take a s*** in literally over 60 years, I haven't cough, sneeze, or felt anything other than normal for decades that I don't even need the shower when just for entertainment and It turned the water green with my poison, and that anything that comes on to me like bacteria that is harmful gust slides off my body and clothing and every part of me, that I can't feel actual fear other than shock seeing it's a negative emotion or the fact that I can't be affected by medication even with a positive effect and life vitals machines don't actually work from me yeah I kinda have notice
What's your opinion on the SCP held here at the site and throughout the foundation hard to pinpoint your exact your opinion on SCP even when observing other SCP is hard to get your exact opinion your reaction are randoms to say the least
Actually that kind of a hard one Doc, my reaction is random because it's really depending on what happens when I go in there I don't really know what to expect I just go with the flow and see what goes on in there really it's kinda going into a room blindfolded almost and as for my opinion for other SCP some of them I actually I'm glad they're stuck in here seeing that they will probably kill the whole god damn universe if they ever got out and others I feel sorry and also disgusted by the foundation for keeping it here it's not their fault and they're not even dangerous they just a little different that's all that star eyed girls she just want to get out but you won't let her shame on you
She which you have named galaxy never put any request for ever mentioned for going outside
That's because he is scared if you would just sedate her like other in here
She wouldn't be scared if people not mentioning names didn't tell exactly what people do in here to SCP when they are to Wiley
yeah put the blame on me why not it's not like he has brains to figure it out by yourself you really underestimated SCP that's another reason I find the foundation disgusting we're not objects or least not all of us
Moving on
Hurry up
Do you anything about the laxatives in the tea of dr ....
Maybe
now let's get to the source of this conversation in the first place, why the sudden urge to visit SCP- 1504 usually if you just want to see him you preferably or duo not encouraged method break into his containment and settings free usually or vice versa why now you deciding to go for more for the less catastrophic method of visiting
Like I said before I have my reasons
Oh really
What are you getting at is this a double course because if it's a double course I will
Don't worry we can't even double cross you know negative effect remember
We did some research on your friend Joe as you call him and surprisingly we discovered that today is his birthday and it so happens since was contained every year on his birthday he seems to be more miserable year after year it's also happened you demanded an interview you might despise us but we are intelligent we kind of put the dots together you might as well admit it
.... Alright fine I admit it I ordered this interview in hoping to get privileges of allowing me to visit him on his birthday he is miserable is sad seeing the only companion you probably have around here for who knows how long I stop counting decades ago just drink and get high on his birthday and not even happy it's a miserable sort of way in a sense of will depression and years getting older nothing to getting better for him even after me even just visiting him in his cell still miserable tied up in there but not even a single birthday cake or compliment from anyone other than me to make him feel better even though I know you don't even notice so I decided to take the long short by getting this party
That quite admirable actually your friend is not getting on well with his birthday so you decided to do something sweet for him, don't think from your records of time we let you two be together you'll probably get a reward like an extra radio but a party station I don't know
Worth a try
And what happens if it fails
I guess you'll be another miserable year then
Never realised that your friends up with SCP 1504 this toxic
Personally I think that comment is bullshit.
What makes you think that don't you notice you encourage each other to drink, smoke, commit crimes, and vandalism even notice once a couple of years back that you and "Joe" somehow managed to make a secret meff lab and using it to experiment with different a SCP for fun in the basement of site 91
Hahaha I'm surprised you idiots didn't notice that earlier we somehow managed to drug up at least 6 SCP before anyone noticed and even then it was by accident when they were clean out the old basement Dizzy throws back in her seat laughing AH AH
You think it's funny to drug up SCP some of them are people you know
Bravo and in only took you experimenting on them and somebody else who having needles jabbed into them who are not scientists to say it
Regardless don't you recognise that what you and 1504 are doing is cruel and reckless
Hypocrite!!
You know what I mean
sure on the surface it sounds ridiculous and somewhat crazy and be honest we kind of are it a way but before you see anything is my explanation when you were immune to heam itself we kind of lose the will to be careful in a way and when no negative effect can be brought on to you you also lose more of that desire to hold back in a sense it doesn't mean that your conscience has been affected it does means you're a terrible person a little bit bad but deep down good people or at least I'm a good person and the people we "druged up" as you called it they were all willing to do it and some of those people even asked for those hi all of the SCPS we did it were objects creatures that were animals in a way and people who asked or couldn't get any worse if we give it to them see the records none of those SCP if you don't believe me none of them were harmed at the a little bit delirious and tired after a while but fine we're not monsters we don't do it to hurt them in the way we do it to make them feel better what do you think people take drugs in the first place to make them forget about the horrible things in life it's not good to them and it temporary but what else can I get around here some of them they even steal it from us check the records again if we didn't do it together we probably would have done it in any other scenario and as for encouraging each other for doing thinks like I said when your immune due to lose any sense of dread do it we drink and smoke but in a way is nothing other than like drinking water or leads to me and as for Joe he gets drunk and high but in the end of the day it doesn't kill him it just get a headache I only do it the keep company if I do stop him you just do it anyway so really I I don't do it nothing bad will happen we are not normal people plush employees in the foundation actually bought some of the meth we made before they were probably discovered
OK how much other scenarios like the time you and Joe still Dr.... car and drove it through a SCP portal to another dimension into a abandoned waste dump full of scrap metal that goes on for miles not only did you also kidnap a mtif soldier and through in the back of your car but you also crashed the place and then crashed the car all the time when you and Joe escaped he loading some rich women and you beated her with cricket bat and then stole her money another terrible time when you were transported to another complete by plane with a couple of other SCP they decided to be better if you travel in an like normal people instead of in an enclosure and you're scps friends including Joe before you even entered the plane you used a plank placed on a rod on the floor to hit Dr clef in the balls
Slight giggles
you turned a man into a crying wimp on the floor clutching his groinedon in the plane when a Stuart found out you were french he greeted you in French you shouted back to him vous pouvez sucer le Dr Clef glorifié boules meurtries enflées Stanley Joe got drunk and you filmed it he passed out and then insulted and walked around the whole plane during the entire flight and when you came down you did the same thing you did to Dr clef only to Dr bright even though he tried to avoid it
Ok as for the car bit I was upset about my miserable life and so was joe slightly drunk and felt like we both needed something to cheer each other we saw the car out and I know Dr.... loves that car sweat to God I think I was him kissed it. I got pissed seeing Dr.... is a go for nothing jerk he puts D class into danger for no reason that's like any other people and just like any other person I would want to punish him I told this to Joe well you know what he had the idea of and there was a testing with SCP-093 dimension portal nearby so you can guess what happens next we hijack the car with some bottles of whiskey from some security officer and a camera, Dr.... was me in the car and I flip him off you should have seen the look on his face it was priceless and so we just drove straight through the portal like nothing and mtif trucks was chasing us it was absolute thrill and never felt so alive. And I didn't give a care of anything. The car was faster than them one of the sodger somehow managed to get up to us much have been in the back we didn't notice he was out match I paralyzed him and then we throw him in the back he was a jerk anyway so I don't care Anyway when the gas run out we watching the sunset tuke pictures of the car each other and us settings to the top of the car drnking whiskey having a blast gust two friends hanging out so we have no blame it was f****** awesome then the mtif scod fade us got the guy out of the truck and tode us back the car getting distorted was a actsdet nothing to do with us when we got back one of the crans for the portal fell
Ok
As for the incident in the plane Dr clef had it coming for the looongest time just ask any female SCP or researcher I did them a favour. That'll teach him a lesson to make smart ass remarks not so tough when reality
I'll be lying to say your not a little bit right there
The flight attendant mug and I wasn't it really in a good mood since I hate the foundation ice auto be a good time to that's really good friends was making some interesting memory videos and making them all upset. The woman incident was when me and Joe escape once we needed money and there was no banks nearby but a horrible rich woman don't feel sorry for her, we only steel off people that really deserved it well I do Joe don't I make him do it because I don't want him stealing off innocence the lady was a rich scamp who treated the poor folk like trust and Roberts said she was in the black market and even sleep with one of the old judges to get off from stealing charity money from orphans she deserved what she got, we beat up a little not anything fatal just enough to make her ugly then stole some money we broke into her house and use my powers to give us so blisters on her feet to just to make sure that the hit one kill her. And Joe hit her in the back with a bat
Why do you feel like you can use your powers to punish the ones who avoid the justice system in some ways
I have to power to make people suffer I might as well use it tell me if you had a chance to save someone or just stand whilst they be killed you would obviously choose them it's similar to how when I see somebody doing harm I can't just stand there I have to make them pay for it I believe everyone gets what they deserve eventually even if not in life they will get it in hell but it's too late because they're dead so I make sure they get the punishment before the dead to know what they did was wrong
when ever you brings us this or just someone annoys you and you played a prank on them you never killed them no matter how bad things they did are
because if I killed them I will be as bad as the people I call monsters I might have lost a lot of things but I would never ever in any circumstances lose my homity and dignity by being a hypocrite and committing what I believe is the worst thing a person can do to a person bring death and personally I don't really see this as a punishment when it comes to my own suffering I feed as a way out but obviously I'm immortal so that will never happened
When you first came to this Foundation was very suicidal it seemed to approve over the time I'm are you still suicidal
Sort moment of silence
Not as before to say I'm not completely suicide that would be lying kind of faded almost as the decades went through I see it as a sort of sideeffect being a model eventually your pain blur's into the conscience of your mind and your personality over take it because nobody get the live as long as me and I have pretty of distracted seeing as Foundation always bring something new that helps friends I made since helped but to say I'm cured completely nope some days is worse than others sometimes. but if there was a better option to be free for my depression I will take it of course but I'm glad I'm better than before you wouldn't believe how dark that mindset is
Has therapy helped
Yes definitely but is not just therapy I find everything helps me in some ways when it comes to friends to talk to even strangers people to listen to it that matter to get it off your chest helps a lot.
Speaking of your oh so "lovely" friends let's talk about them apart from Joe you made a couple of them over the years some more favourable than others let's talk about them less start with your closest friend and the reason why this interview is taking place in the first place Joe
Well you already know his life from his file as an SCP there's not really much to say about him apart from the fact what is he really like because unlike the rest of you I actually know for fact what he's saying or doing hints why we're so close friends
and hints why you 2 can get away with things like robbing people only two days ago you somehow managed to borrow 50 quid out of the wallet of Dr....
And we spent it on a magic coffee dispenser to trick somebody into drinking bin water just for fun
Nmmmm
But Joe and I kind of need each other he's the first to person to really understand me a fellow SCP you became my friend somebody who knows what it feels like to be lonely and is suffer for a good majority of time in fact I could say he suffers more than me even.I had are you still have a human connection or more reality until he met me he was suicidal depressed and nobody had any idea of it or even he had a blue tick knowledge you should have seen his face when you first realise he finally found somebody to connect to you and don't leave me feel worse that he couldn't give me a hug you know that's why he's in the streets that could because the amount of fluid is Santa's lack of escape makes a mad the let us be with each other and in close proximity because if he doesn't have a human connection now he goes nuts and once he was so this before escape from the mental pain he grabbed me by the solders and end of catching severe case of schizophrenia but also seeing him like that screaming bagging blood everywhere for the 62 hours is painful to watchbut we help with turning away we keep eachother company we have each other's backs we stop each other from going crazy I can feel my world go up if you don't want them with him because he doesn't care what I am he's not here to study he's really the only person that really gives a damn for me anymore and maybe is just because he's desperate for company but it's genuine at least
What about other people But 1st oof Did you ever fall in love
No, if you'd read my record, you would know that my anomalous ability makes people unable to be sexually interested in me, including able to feel any romantic feelings towards me which really sucks because nobody can ever fall in love with me which really sucks because I didn't have a boyfriend before all of this which really fuckin' sucks
Ok let's go back to some other questions then what are some of the other friends like scp-507
Honestly he's a nice guy but we and close friends sometimes gets nervous to are idea of fun mostly pranking people not into that sort of stuff sometimes me and Joe would sneak into his room he's pretty good at using computers
Explain
don't worry we just asked him let us see some videos that we are banned on watching well Joe's banned from watching is's nothing that bad and it's not like we scanned anything light drinker doe sometimes we will go to the roof to drink and being nice we invited him to come with us if you refused he would wosh out after half a bottle
Is that even allowed
Ah F*** them
What about jonesy the half cat you seem to be close to jonesy cat
I love jonesy his sweet and cute be honest he Sims more Joe friend seeing that I can't pet him but he's not afraid of me I can always play with him I told him tricks too
What tricks
I taught him to attack on command he wrecked Dr.... face it was hilarious. Moment of silence come on it was funny he only had a scratch
Moving on how about something different about Dr bright and agent Rocky Jones.
Temporary silence
Are you alright
Yes.
I believe rocky was the first person you ever encountered after your condition so to say happened if I believed correctly you two became close friends over the years even after his hair ternd completely grey you use to joke about that and he'd take time to come to see you and often joke about it until he's unfortunate demise unfortunately turned out to be by Dr bright
Rocky was a good man he was sent to like the other mtif soldier he went to the foundation for the sole reason of wanting to help others and protect others he never shot any human and never ever killed anyone even go against orders to save people including civilians and to avoid death casualties
he still experienced poison first time and leaving the second time he cut off his own hand to avoid getting infected again
Ok f*** off that was by accident and so was the second time you can't go 50 years without hitting an accident even if it's twice the actor of him cutting his arm off surprised me he did it so quickly and so swiftly I still feel sorry for him no matter how many times I see his prosthetic arm and no matter how many times he said to me it was ok I couldn't forgive myself for it but he never blame to me I don't know why but you never blam with me I'm Grace's for that
Unfortunately Dr Jack fight thought it would be a good test subject to a SCP due to the lack of D class and he was close to retirement he killed him with an axe and then experimented on his parts with SCP....
Anger: dat no good whatever he is didn't deserve to kill an innocent man and get away with it no matter how high he's clearance I wanted revenge I wanted to bury rocky picked up what's left of him in the acid bath and bury him of cause acid has no effect on me he's a skeleton but still l made sure he had a proper funeral with me Joe, some classes who are kind of nice and some scientists to also didn't like what bight did and missed rocky but he was the closest thing to a funeral I can get And then plotted my plan it was quite easy wait until it's dark nobody around other than the D classes, SCP and Joe distracted him than the clobbered him over the head well Joe bib then we tied him up to a cargo trolley and use my powers to give him a nail fungus I wanted the real pain to be more brutal than anything I have and then we'll come up he said crossword threaten even gloated and I stuck them over the face for that I told him he was going to suffer he said didn't care he's suffered before but I doubt he'd ever suffer like he did there and you could tell him his face he knew he was f***** when he realised what was coming to him a pit full of angry D classes who all had a bone to pick with him and some SCP who are also hated his guts and so didn't take the D classes we tied him up to the trolley made sure he'd couldn't escape and through him into the pit you should have heard him screaming begging for his released and even asking for help but no he was going to suffer just how rocky did .... 10 times worse the fact that I use my powers against him meaning that he wouldn't die butter suffer for round a good 10 hours it's more worse than poison because it's gets revenger gardens Joe and I just sat there watching with show during beer with him and some cigarettes it was the most relaxing thing I ever did for revents in the morning when everyone came and they put them out he's so scared of me after that's incident and it should be
And what you hate doctor bright so much
He's a prick
Oh really because your friend the plague doctor says otherwise
f*** you the plague doctor is not my friend I met him once when I escaped and he escaped in the same time and I found him by chance I only stayed with him after that to stop him from killing more people I didn't stop him from turning the bodies into what the plague doctor called the pestilence and the curd because they're already dead but he is scared of me he felt poison my poison and he's petrified of me
True when we asked about you in an interview with him he did say he was petrified to you but he also said you hate Dr bright to because you envy him you envy everything about him that he's in a SCP and he has the freedom that you can only wish for freedom to see your family the freedom to feel love freedom to have friends without restrictions to socialise and don't need to worry about making somebody have cancer just by giving them a hug and how he's anomalous ability doesn't seem to affect him that much and you hate when he says he feels upset due to his SCP status saying that because you're the only one who understands to suffering through and SCP you haven't seen your family in their decades you didn't even get to go to your parents funeral when font out you escaped to see the graves of the died of natural causes when MTF squad found are you are weeping at the graves they let you stay there a few minutes and then you went by your own recalled you carried on crying 4 weeks after that and as three siblings you don't even know what they look like no picture of them you have nothing
That plague doctor is wise I will give him that destrudo why am I a nice SCP but I'm stuck in here but all just constrictions that any other SCP has but Dr bright probably the worst person and most dumbest person I ever met is allowed almost get away with everything is not fair and that's for the real reason I hate him he says he understands and is sad because of his predicament of being a immortal he doesn't because I'm immortal to his immortality has no chains attached to it it's it's just sad to say just like that me there's always a catch I could just walk out of here with nobody stopping me but the catch is there's always a catch there's nothing for me out there there's no hatred there's no love there's no nothing what's the point of being a immortal if you can't enjoy it the only thing I bring is sickness and sadness I have to worry about giving people cancer just buy hugging them people are scared of me because of my ability and it should be but I feel miserable Dr bright is able to enjoy his life and he dares feels upset because of his predicament he should be god damn lucky he doesn't need to worry about it I didn't himself I have to worry about not only in myself my mental health but also others are not only hurt
is that why you stay here your numbers ability does prevent us from stopping you leaving
Yes
I see
it's also the reason whenever he says he understands pain the SCP feel the pain that he brings other people I make sure he's truly feels pain and he gets punished for his wrong doing
Now can I have my our with Joe
we'll have to see but that there's a lot of checklist to go through they might be even the couple of days who knows weeks until your permission has been approved
Ash I knew I wouldn't be getting to see Joe today but ok have a backup plan I went to Joe cell and talk to him before I came here if getting is interview fails there's always plan b this is breaks out and we go to the roof to enjoy ourselves and private for an hour
What
Gjvd
Rumbling noises lights Go out
Note lights went out due to SCP 1504 sneaking into the control room and the stopping the lights dizzy then escape through her miss form through the ventilation system and the two met on the roof after SCP 1504 took couple of bottles of beer from dr.... office the two stage on the roof remaining hour on deck chairs that SCP 1504 stole from a supply closetthe towards the sunset together was drinking beers a small recording managed to be caught before cameras went off of the two on the roof

Second Nature. | Doyoung
Request: Ahah, this was not a request I just really like to make myself suffer sometimes. This is about a childhood best friend who returns after a long time.
Author’s Note: I have kind of had this storyline already and whenever I looked at Doyoung I thought he would fit into it so well. This is a scenario rather than an imagine, so it might not be fully relatable. Plus, I’m sorry if this hurts you.
Warnings: THIS IS SAD, not proofread bc I suck at it, very downbeat pov, mentions of alcohol consumption/intoxication, mentions of divorce, mentions of injury, lots of emphasis on loneliness, plus there is a dog in this story so if you’re scared of doggies/you’re a cat person, I apologize. English is my second language so there might be errors! Let me know if there is more please!
Word Count: 11664 too many words for my own good really
Genre: ANGST, fluff, childhoodfriends!au, bestfriends!au, friendstolovers!au (???), two surprise AUs that I cannot say for the sake of the story.
I hope you all enjoy! If that’s even possible! Because I felt emotionally drained just by writing it!
“Catch me if you can!”
You let out a loud laugh as you start sprinting at full speed. Your friend and neighbor Doyoung lets out a shriek before picking up his pace, both of you running through and inevitably, over the green grass of your shared garden that is scattered with white and yellow flowers all around. Parents look at your way as they take a sip of their coffee, smiling under the mug. “Don’t sweat too much, it gets chilly in the evening!” His mother shouts when the two of you run close by them. One of you answers okay, but you both cannot make out who it is because the caution only falls on deaf ears.
He catches you when you are running close to the fence, catching you by your shoulders and accidentally pulling your hair. “Ow!” He hisses along with you as you turn back. You are very clearly pissed of, which only alarms him a little further. “Doyoung! I told you to be careful with my hair— it’s longer than yours.”
“I didn’t do it intentionally! I’m sorry. You can pinch my arm so we’re even.” He sticks his arm out, his blue and grey bracelet hanging off loosely from his wrist. “No, but I want a cookie.”
He audibly gasps. “I only have 3 left!”
When you shrug, he sighs and heads inside their vacation home. It takes him a few minutes to go to the front of the house where their kitchen is and come back and by the time he’s back, he finds you sitting at the bottom of the fence. Your face brightens up when you see him and his mother’s cookies, inarguably the best dessert to come after your mother’s. He sits next to you and hands the treasure. You still notice the frown on his face. And you hate seeing him upset.
So, you break the cookie in half— an imperfect half. You get the smaller piece to yourself and hold out the bigger half for Doyoung to take. He smiles the Doyoung smile and takes it before stuffing it in his mouth.
It was a bright, sunny day. You had been at the beach ever since the morning, now late in the afternoon, with Doyoung and his family and yours. Having a sandwich for breakfast and a picnic for lunch and snacks, swimming every other second in between. Both Doyoung and you loved swimming in the aqua blue waters that would occasionally change colors to a deeper blue. More specifically jumping from the pier in what you claimed to be “athletic poses” that were, in reality, sad yet funny excuses for superhero jumps.
“I’m sorry to disappoint, honey, but I think Doyoung had that one.” Your father says when both of you climb up to the pier after your 7th jump, for the votes of your parents on who jumped better. “Yeah, I can’t jump quite as high. It’s because he plays volleyball,”  Doyoung snickers beside you with good intentions, but you still feel a little defeated. “It’s okay, you dive better than me.”
“That’s true, you suck at diving.” The realization of having said a bad word hits you both sooner than ever, and you both cover your mouths in surprise. He is smiling under his hand. You can tell because his eyes are squinting. His parents start laughing and Doyoung too lets go of the laughter he has been holding in. But of course, your parents do not look all that amused. “That’s another month before you get a pet.”
You switch to protest mode in an instant. “But it slipped from my mouth, I didn’t mean it!”
“Just because it slipped doesn’t mean it’s okay,” Your mother claims calmly, and you jump a little with frustration. “But—“
“Whining won’t get you closer to getting one.” Your father sternly adds. You stop immediately, rightfully kind of really upset. Everyone is silent until Doyoung pulls a little on your arm. You know what he means, so you let him drag you back towards the pier. Frustration stings at your eyes and Doyoung can sense it, so he nudges you a little. “Come on, don’t be sad. I’m sure a month will fly by.”
He does not receive any response, even though you argued there’s still at least a year internally. He kind of knew he would not be getting a response, because that is what you act like when you are upset. Seeing as you were, he crossed off the possibility of jumping off the pier with you for the time being. Instead he sat down at the end, dangling his legs, patting the spot next to him for you to sit. You follow his actions.
“Doyoung?” Your voice sounds like you were frowning. “Hm?” He does not look at you, because he does not like seeing people upset. “How is middle school? Is it fun?”
You were just going to be starting middle school, whereas he was going to begin his second year. As always he wanted to tell you the truth. Considering your mood, though, that might have not been the best idea. So he did not. “It is! Plenty of good friends,” Which was not necessarily a lie, but it definitely was not how it went for a lot of people. He feared you would be one of them, as you had a tendency to make friends with everyone and that was not how socializing went in middle school. But for all he knew, everything could be different and you could have an amazing middle school experience. “After school activities are really fun as well.” That definitely was not a lie. Doyoung loved volleyball. “I can’t wait to go back.”
“I’ll swim. That makes me happy.” And it must for real, because he hears the excitement in your voice.
He grins. “Then go for it.”
With that, Doyoung pushes you off the edge. Although surprised, you suspected he would do that subconsciously as he had a habit of pushing people into the water when they have just dried off to entertain himself— a rather evil habit that everyone hates. For payback you splash him with water. He splashes you back as if it would do anything, and you splash him again while calling him another bad word that your parents luckily would not be able to hear and soon enough, it turns into a splash fight.
It was the first day of Doyoung and his family’s arrival that year. You woke up feeling excited, because your best friend was finally here after a whole 5 days of waiting after your own arrival to the summer house. So you ran out to the garden right after breakfast, more than ready to see your friend.
Instead, you were not ready to see him all that much. At least not with his arm in a cast.
You go up to hug him as usual, and he mutters a low, disappointed “Hi.” In return, you give him a much brighter greeting in hopes of bringing his mood up. It does not work.
The day goes on. Both your families and you have a shared lunch, catching up on the previous 9 months they had not seen each other. Their moods are much higher than Doyoung’s and yours. His mood had made you inevitably moody as well. He was not up to play, he was not up to go to the beach, he was not up to go to the grove… It felt like he did not want to do anything. But it was summer. Not the time to be sulking around, even if his arm was in a cast.
Then came an idea.
There was a patch of young olive trees planted near your houses. They were only around the same height as you were, though it varied from tree to tree. You loved how the trees looked when they were passing through the road in between the patches a few days ago. So you only suspected Doyoung would like seeing them as well.
You run up to the parents and ask them if you could take him there. They agree without much hesitation, only warning you to make sure to stay off the road and to wear proper shoes to protect from the bugs and thorns.
Taking Doyoung there was a struggle. Making him agree to go was harder, but he also kept complaining how hot the weather was (as if it had never been that hot before) and how he was too tired (which he should not have been, because you knew he tended to sleep on car rides, and it was an overnight drive for them to get here).
But the second you arrive at the patch, something changes.
He smiles in awe at seeing just how small the trees are and how they shine under the sunlight. You both sit under one of the trees, both of your heads touching some leaves, and it leaves a funny feeling on your heads. You both giggle for quite some time until it just starts feeling nice.
“What happened to your arm?” The question was impossible to hold back, and you thought talking about it would make him feel better. The tone in his voice makes you not so confident about that. “I was dipping to hit the ball, and the arm I wasn’t using— I wasn’t paying attention to it. It twisted and snapped when I landed on it, and now I don’t know if I can play volleyball anymore.” Doyoung lets a sigh out then and it is full of feelings you cannot make out the heavinesses of, because you lacked the experience.
You hiss with attempted empathy. “What are you gonna do instead?”
He sighs again but you can make the feeling behind it out this time, it is annoyance. “My music teacher wrote my name down for a conservatoire, and both mom and dad really wants me to go. Even my brother wants me to go. Weird.”
“Singing sounds nice.” But Doyoung does not look too keen on the idea. In spite of it you smile, hopeful. “If he’s saying you should go, then you have to sing for me sometime.”
He chuckles at that and looks at you as if you suggested something out-of-worldly crazy. “Yeah. Sure. Don’t depend on it.” Then he looks down and whines upon seeing his arm and the sun hitting it— the black cover on his cast. “Ugh, it’s so hot and itchy. I can’t even swim this summer and it’s only the start,” His mouth twitches and wobbles a bit the moment he is done complaining, and you frown, even though the fact that he only realized his arm was making him feel uncomfortable when he looked at it still makes you want to laugh a little. “I’m sorry.”
Doyoung throws you the crazy look again. “I was the idiot, why would you be sorry?” There was genuine curiosity in his voice before he chuckles breathily, in what might be disbelief. You pull on his blue and grey bracelet. The beads looked okay, but the strings were a bit worn off. “We’re best friends?” You suggest, to ring a bell more than anything.
He nods just once, agreeing, examining his bracelet when he notices your gaze on it. “We should really change the strings. Yours look terrible too.”
You look down at your bracelet, green and red like a watermelon as 8-year-old Doyoung had said, and mumble. “Yeah, we really should.”
The idea comes that very second. You just seemed to beam with ideas today. “We can put the beads in your pocket and tie the strings onto the branch. A friendship tree, yes?”
He looks up and smiles. “Okay. I guess to keep in peace as well.”
You had to help him every step of the way because he lacked an arm and through the experience you come to learn that an arm is a very serious lack of a thing. Through the summer he could not do much functioning until they had to leave to get his cast off around a month and a half later, and in turn you chose not to swim when he was at the beach reading books while accompanying his parents and yours. Instead you chatted with him and put handfuls of sand in his t-shirt (being careful not to get any in his cast, of course, partly for your own safety as well) every time he told you to just go and swim, until he was too pissed off at you.
And you stayed with him and offered a piece of your mother’s tiramisu as he cried for the first time ever since the first year you met, after he got the news that his arm was in too fragile of a condition to play volleyball again. Because that was all you could do.
A chilly night, sitting on top of one of the low branches of a random tree close to your shared backyard. It would be scary if you couldn’t see the lights coming off from your houses. Or if birds were not still chirping through the calm silence. But as you sat there, blueberry muffins in your hands, it was almost comfortable. If not for the bumpy bark you had been sitting on, of course.
It was the last days of summer. More and more people were leaving, closing off their summer houses for the duration of off-season. Doyoung and his family would be leaving tomorrow, whereas you and your family would stay for just a few days longer simply because everybody loved this place with its variety of trees and its beach.
“Are you excited you’ll get to compete this year?” Doyoung asks suddenly. You nod immediately and with eager. “I’m gonna win gold.” The sheer ambition in your claim makes Doyoung chuckle, which annoys you a little. He had started doing that a lot this summer, laughing at the stuff you would claim. You look at him as if to ask why he laughed even though you know he was going through the weird phase and lucky for him, he gets the signal. Then he shrugs. “I don’t know. Winning seems important for everyone and it’s silly. Just enjoy what you’re do—“
His voice cracks. “—ing.”
You try your best not to laugh, honestly. But he breaks first, so it is only fair that you start laughing too. His voice had been doing that for almost half of this summer, which was apparently a sign of growing up.
Puberty, being a preteen and all that. You had your fair share of experiences. It was funnier when it was not happening to you.
You mock his voice when you give him an answer. “I’ll just enjoy what I’m doing!” His eyes widen a little at that and he turns a little further towards you in surprise. “Hey, that sounds like how I sound in my head!”
Both of you lose it at the silliness of the sentence, it hurts your stomach after a while. It also takes a lot of effort to not slip from the branch and fall down onto the ground. What cuts through your laugh sooner than expected was his mother calling him back, shouting quite loudly that they would be leaving before sunrise and that he needed his sleep so he should better come back before she locks the door and goes to sleep.
The way down is faster and easier than the way up had been. Doyoung stuffs the remainder of his blueberry muffin in his mouth before clapping his hands together a couple of times to clean them of crumbs. He turns to tell you that the two of you better hurry up, but the way your face looks stops him. “I’m gonna miss you,” These exact words would always leave your mouths when it was someone’s time to leave this place and the reality of not being able to see each other for another 9 months set in.
Doyoung visibly relaxes, knowing nothing was wrong. “I’m gonna miss you too. But it’s okay, it’s just 9 months— we always wait that much. Plus,” He smiles widely. “You’ll finally have a pet next summer.”
“And you’ll sing.” He shakes his head immediately. “Please?” You press your chances because it was annoying what he was doing to you. He had never played volleyball with you when he used to play (even though it was rightfully so, as you were terrible at it) and now that he was actually really good at singing (proof being that he had taken part in several shows his conservatoire organized) he would deny you the chance to hear. You were best friends. That basically gives you the right to hear his singing.
Something changes in him, as his eyes widen slightly. “You know what? If you actually manage to get a pet, I will. Deal?” You know he thinks you cannot manage to do it. But you can. So you take it.
“Deal.”
Doyoung and his family do not come next summer.
Or, rather, for several next summers.
You ask your mother the first summer he is not there, your arms on the counter and your head resting on top as you watched her cook. “Mom, Doyoung’s not coming?”
She was washing off some produce from your garden to make a salad before they went bad when you hit her with the question. You do not get an answer, and she does not slow down, so you ask again after a few seconds when she takes out a knife and the chopping board. “Oh, his father has a different work schedule now,” She answers, slicing the cucumber. “They can only use the house on spring breaks.”
Heartbroken, you turn back around to go back into the living room to play with your puppy along with your father.
On the third summer, you hear various tumbling sounds coming from outside and the faint voices of your parents through the glass. The sun is barely up, the sky a pretty pink. You hear voices of a couple of old people. Maybe more, but you cannot make it out, as sleep was fighting with you to rest just a bit longer.
There is darkness for a while. Second time you wake up the sky looks more peachy with hues of yellow. The tumbling sounds have left their place to the sound of slamming metal doors and old engines that you think can only belong to trucks, but the noise is okay, because within less than five minutes the vehicles leave.
You ask about it at breakfast. Your father takes your hand in his as he drops his cutlery, and tells you he is sorry, before revealing that Doyoung and his parents had sold the summer house. Betrayal (lighthearted betrayal which only has place in your heart during your teenage years) slowly washes over you and you stand up abruptly before mumbling something about finishing your breakfast in your room. With unshed tears in your eyes, you gather your plate and leave.
Both of your parents’ sighs are audible when you are climbing up the stairs.
By the fourth year, their house already starts to get the old, rustic, sultry look any abandoned house would get.
You grow every year, that much is sure. Your puppy does so at a much faster rate as well. Your parents get deeper wrinkles on their face. Spots on their hands. The trees get taller, thicker and older. The summer house starts smelling of nostalgia rather than just of sea salt and rarely used furniture. The beach gets even emptier than how it used to be. The grove gets lonelier and scarier. The produce of your garden loses its taste at some point. You slowly start to abandon the idea of going out to the backyard, except for the times you went out with your dog. Jumping off the pier gradually gets less fun than it once was. Your swimming partner has four legs instead of just two.
When you get your first phone, excitement washes over you with hope as company. You ask your mother if you can get Doyoung’s phone number if he has one, but she says that they have lost touch with his parents and that they do not speak to each other anymore.
Excitement leaves your body, and your smile falls.
Some couples of other years pass as time has no intention of stopping, and on one of them your father moves out. With one less person in your summer house, the emptiness grows bigger. With one less person in your summer house, the environment loses its golden glow. The leaves, even under the bright sunlight, only look a sad variety of greens. Rooms feel so much bigger. Memories start off as sweet remembrances, but they surely turn into hauntings when every single thing reminds you of one.
After your father leaves, the only person you have left in your summer house is your mother. The only things you have left is cooking and baking with her, walking around aimlessly, and sitting in the quiet at the pier with your only four-legged companion.
You slowly realize that childhood is gone. Never to come back. Growing up turns out to be loss of great people and great things, and it slowly starts to make sense why your parents kept telling you growing up and being a grown person is not as exciting as you were making them out to be when you were younger.
Summer loses its magic and grows weary. Yet, despite it all, the summer house remains as your safe space.
Because there is only the struggle of loneliness, unlike what the longer part of the years throw at you.
Yet loneliness does not prove to be much easier.
Growing up and going to college, moving out of the house took a toll on your relationship with your mother. It was not noticeable until the first time you came back for the summer break, when it started to seem like you ran out of things to talk about easily. Movie nights grew more frequent. Cooking and baking still were the fun things to do, at least.
It was not that you could not get along with her, or you had too many fights. Being around her was still comfortable. It was just that your mother could never be your friend, let alone your best friend. There were a fair amount of things you would not talk about with her. Even though she must know this, she would try to fill the gap Doyoung had left.
It was not possible. You suspected it never would be. Because he felt like second nature to you and he was gone. How could anyone replace second nature?
Her trying to fill the gap your father had left was one thing. The other was not all the same.
Summers got quiet and lonely after Doyoung left, yes. More so after your father left. But as you kept growing up and sharing less with your mother, the dimension of your loneliness shifted. It started feeling more like isolation.
And it was then, that you felt like true happiness started shifting away from you.
Your favorite time to hang out at the pier is around sunset hours.
The beach was the emptiest around that time and the night, because the general population was old and dinner preparation would keep them from going out from late afternoon and onwards. After sunset— the usual dinner time for most of the neighbors— porch lights would get turned on immediately. And when dark blue paints over the sky while the moon slowly comes out, the sounds of old neighbors visiting each other and chatting, sometimes playing games on their porch and laughing along would travel to the wooden pier where you would be laying down, listening to the wavering sea. It had quickly grown to be one of your fondest things about the summer.
That afternoon is no different. It is almost the golden hour on a hot day, and your dog is absolutely spent after a long walk so you both deserve to get a breather, really.
You move towards the end of the pier and sit down, alerting your dog gently to do the same. Her tail thumps repeatedly against the boards as she sits down looking at your hand. You cannot help but smile at her cuteness. Opening up the water bottle you had brought along, you place your palm under it curled like a bowl. Letting the water flow down carefully, you let her drink the water from your palm.
She ends up drinking most of the water in the bottle but still sweats afterwards. Happy and content despite sweating, she looks around and at the water, watching the few fishes that were swimming towards the seaweed bunched around the pier’s legs, wagging her tail in curiosity. You look at the water as well, but your mind is elsewhere. Wondering about your father.
He had promised you to come and visit before summer ended and here you were. Halfway through the summer— almost more than halfway.
Something in you started wondering if he would keep his promise a while ago. The hope that held onto the promise started dimming as the days went on.
You let a huff out in an effort to lighten the tightness in your chest. It works ever so slightly, and your companion turns her head to you. She has always had a talent in understanding when you were upset— maybe an instinct, and this time was no exception. She lies down next to you and nags at your hand. Giving in was too easy when it was her. You start petting her and letting her lick your hand and arm.
Perhaps it is magic, because her efforts of cheering you up works without any exceptions. Not giggling is impossible.
Her and you lay down, playing around for a while as her attempts of licking your face gets more frequent and although you adore her, you do not want to be licked on your face. It turns into a wrestle rather quickly. Her paws press on your stomach sometimes which is far from a pleasing experience and it is when she really just makes you nauseous that you force her down to a hug. It takes too much time huffing and puffing and annoyed-sneezing for her to calm down and stop wagging her tail but she stops eventually.
Literally seconds later there is the slightest creak on the boards and she picks her head up. The tail starts wagging and thumping again. You ignore it, wanting to cherish the moment.
“Hey! I’ve been looking for a certain someone, can you help?”
The familiarity of the upbeat voice pulls a weak string at your heart automatically. The string sends waves of electric all throughout your body and it surprises you how much it can burn still, after years of no contact, and it is only a familiarity.
Breathing deeply, you answer. “Unless you’re looking for your grandparents, I don’t think so.” The creaks get louder, nearer. Then they stop. The wagging tail is way too excited for its own good as the thumps get faster and harsher, and she starts getting excited again, trying to look at and smell whoever it is that stands near you.
A face hovers far above yours with a smile. “I don’t think I’m looking for my grandparents.”
Your breath hitches and you let your companion loose without meaning to. She wastes no time in jumping up and become acquainted with the intruder.
Except he is not. He is not an intruder. He is a familiar face. Hell, he is more than a familiar face. He is second nature.
And just one glance at his not changed but grown face takes all the betrayal, the disappointment, the feeling of having fallen out of place away. And it takes everything in you to not start crying on the spot. Instead you smile big, spring up onto your feet and throw your arms around his middle to hold him close, so close that he does not have the opportunity to leave, not now. His shoulder welcomes your face to nuzzle itself in and you take the advantage fully— shocked, even though it was an obvious fact, that he had grown so much. His arms find their places around your back comfortably. Hugging felt natural and safe but still weird to some extent, because it was not like how it was 8 years ago.
“Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you?” Your voice still shakes even though you keep the tears inside. He places his chin on top of your head as you nuzzle closer and lets out a breath himself. “I think I do.”
After many minutes of hugging and letting the emotions out in the form of squeezes and nuzzles, both of you sit down where you were stationed before Doyoung appeared. One of his hands keep petting your four-legged best friend while he keeps his mouth occupied, talking to you to catch up in any way.
You could not stop looking at him. Taking it all in. Just how taller he had gotten— though not a giant like he had sometimes hoped he would turn out as, but you do not tell him that— and how sharper his facial features had gotten. Yet it comforted you how he had not changed. You could go back in time and look at him, and compare the two looks you had seen, and you could easily tell that this person in front of you was Doyoung.
His jet black hair, even, had not changed much at all. It was still in his face in some way. It was as if he had just physically grown up, and nothing had changed other than him growing taller and his features setting in place.
That comforted you, although you were not sure why.
Curiosity took over you as you kept chatting in the comfortable silence. There was so much to learn about him. It almost felt like you were meeting with a new person. Almost.
“Where are you even staying?” The question feels kind of uncomfortably intimate for you to ask after so much time, but you do not want to lose anything that you had with him. So it would only make sense for you to act as if it is still there. He does not seem to mind the question too much as the answer comes sooner than you would expect, without the awaited stare. “I’m crashing at a friend’s couch. He lives near here.”
“Who lives here all year?” You mumble in disbelief. But you trust him in telling the truth. He smiles back, looking around as if to check the environment. “Everything looks the same. This place aged well,” His gaze shifts back to you, warm and gentle. “I can’t say the same about you, though.”
There is nothing harsh about his words, but you cannot help but feel taken aback. “What do you mean?”
He shrugs, not even bothered about your dog sweating over his leg as he keeps petting her. “A lot of things feel different about you. You look different too.”
“Is that to say I haven’t aged well?” You joke, making light of the situation. It would be a lie if you did not admit that his words did not hurt you in the slightest. Even though you knew that they held some truth value. He huffs, letting his head fall to the side, annoyed. Like the olden days. It makes you too happy to see it. “That wasn’t what I meant and you know it. There is just, something off about you, it hits you in the face.” He stops for a second to look at you properly again. You do not look offended, so he continues. “But I don’t think everyone would be able to notice it enough to make a deal about it, you know?”
It is your turn to shrug with one shoulder, and click your tongue a little, shaking your head as if this whole thing did not bother you. “Mm, I grew up,” He throws a look as if to say I know, but you keep on talking. “And I changed. Nothing too crazy.”
“You’re sweeping it under the rug, but I’m gonna let that go this once.” He says as your dog’s attention span on him expires, and she goes to lay down at the corner of the pier, a spot where she can have her own space and a rather okay view of the fish living down there. “This once?” You ask, unable to stop the hope from surfacing.
“Well,” Doyoung turns his body to face yours. He sits criss cross. “I’ll be around until the end of summer. I just assumed we can keep seeing each other?”
A laugh breaks through years of quiet summers as your heart flutters. “Of course, yeah.” Doyoung smiles back his smile, his one of a kind smile, and you have to pinch yourself to know this is not a dream.
It is not, and night had never come faster in years.
Getting to know your best friend for the second time was a weird experience. You had to ask him what he was studying since he was going to begin his senior year of university, to which he answers musical theatre. Upon that you smile a witty smile, pointing at your companion who picks her head up after she realizes she was being pointed at, and tell him that you had gotten a pet so he would have to sing to keep his promise.
He laughs and answers okay. But not now.
Within minutes, he updates you on almost everything. He tells you stories of this band he was part of where he formed his friend group, and how he had been picked up as the male lead for Tick, Tick… Boom! at the end of his sophomore year so he actually had to learn how to dance. Doyoung claims to not having been the greatest in it, so you ask with all the curiosity in your heart if he managed to get a date out of the musical. You get an answer of an overly confident of course, which tells you more than you need. Despite not having heard his singing, or having seen him dance, you tell him that he must have been amazing at it. When the argument comes you simply shut him up with the fact that he was picked as the lead.
Doyoung mentions not seeing his family for that summer because of the fact that school had ended only fairly recently, and because he could not not see this place anymore. He adds that he never even mentioned coming here to his family to eliminate any chances of them insisting he would go see them, and that he would really appreciate if you kept his presence here a secret from your parents as well. You agree to it, partly because he is still someone you could do anything for, and partly because the selfish feeling of wanting him to yourself only for a while.
The mood kind of goes down when he asks “So, uh, what was life like after I left?”
The question makes the smile fall off your face involuntarily for just a second before you push through and fight it off, smiling once again. “High school was hard, first of all.”
One of his eyebrows rise in surprise. “Oh yeah? What was it like?”
Without even stopping to think, you answer truthfully. “Like you ate shit, and tried to throw up the shit you ate, but it took you 4 years to do so.” There is a wince of disgust before he answers. “Ew. That sounds miserable.”
“Was in fact miserable.” You admit. The shits-and-giggles attitude breaks faster than you intend to. “My parents got divorced in junior year, and my father had to move out, so that was a big contribution.”
Doyoung does not look surprised, but upset. He looks down at his hands before looking back up at you. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
Again, a shrug, as your lips waver. “It’s whatever.”
Silence. Uncomfortable silence maybe for the first time ever since you met him.
So you break it. “You know what? This is a reunion, and I really don’t wanna talk about how a break up that’s not my own affected me. There are lots of happier things to talk about,”
The two of you keep talking with each other for hours and hours on end. You are sure he misses the dinner at some point unlike you who were used to having early dinners. Naturally you have to take a break every once in a while to help your dog do her business, but you hold your own business inside to have all the time you can with him. It still felt as if he would leave again and never come back.
But at some point he has to leave, so you let him go. Not without a “Let’s exchange numbers?” though.
However, the answer you get is not all that satisfactory. “Sorry, I can’t. I’ve a foreign number since I study abroad and— yeah. I didn’t activate my local one this time. And you know how internet connection is here.”
“Basically nonexistent,” You agree. “But how do we meet up if we can’t—“
He smiles. “I can just come here every night after dinner.”
Your breath hitches again. Happiness beats in your heart. You could certainly do with that. “Sure. If it’s alright with you, I mean.”
“It’s why I’m here.”
In all honesty, the fact that Doyoung is back does not hit you until around the end of the first week.
The week in itself is fairly uneventful if you overlook the excitement his presence gives you. You mostly just speak to each other, to catch up on all that lost time. One thing you notice is how affectionate and all over each other both of you seemed to get, and on your part, it was still about making sure he was truly there. Hugs quickly grew to be the default state you would hang out together. If his arm was not around your shoulders, your arm would be stationed at the small of his back as you sat at the beach or the pier, and if neither was happening your legs would be sprawled across and over his lap.
Nothing about the affection you two seemed to gain felt awkward. It came so naturally.
The only weird thing about Doyoung was how he managed to be so punctual. You would show up at the pier as soon as it got dark, basically— and often he would already be there waiting. If not, he would only be late for around a few minutes. You could not tell if it was intuition the both of you shared, or a silent agreement. Whatever it was, it was a great thing, and you were thankful for it, because it gave you the time you so badly needed with your best friend.
Keeping Doyoung a secret from your mother proved to be harder than you initially thought. The fact that you were almost a fully grown adult about to start junior year of college seemed to be an irrelevant fact as soon as you started staying outside for too long in the night, and you had to swear to your mother several times that everything was okay. You excused yourself saying it was too hot when sun was out, and the beach was breezy and enjoyable in the night, so you would rather hang out with your dog then.
Which was not all a lie. She seemed to enjoy herself a lot more then, as well, and sweat a lot less. Not to mention her liking of Doyoung.
Randomly on one night you notice the bracelet still on Doyoung’s wrist. It makes you smile silly. “You still have it on.” Your finger goes and pulls on it, reminding Doyoung of the fact. He smiles fondly. “Why wouldn’t I? Don’t you?”
You pull your leg out of the water and show him. “I do, just not on my wrist.” The green and red beads shine on your ankle with the moonlight, and your leg goes chilly when the breeze hits. Doyoung’s reaction looks questionable at best so it only prompts you to further explain yourself. “Motivates me to hold my ground. It’s easier to remember who I am this way.” The words awaken something you would rather not feel ever again. Your chest hurts with the rush of the stinging feeling, but you hold yourself to endure it.
He stops as another wave hits both of your legs and furrows his brows. “What does that mean?” You turn back around to face him better— he looks hurt, somehow. As if he can feel what you are feeling inside. You take a breath. “I was very lonely, you know,” The tone of your voice reflects the hurt you kept dearly inside, and you have to physically squeeze your hands within themselves to not let the cracks reach the bottom of your feet where they would break you in half. It is the first time you ever admit it and the words sound harsher in your ear than how they used to sound inside your thoughts. “I still am, in a way. And it’s hard to not want to run away from everything when the world basically gives you all the reasons to. So I had to stand my ground.”
When his mouth opens to say whatever he had on his mind you turn your back to him. “I don’t want to talk about it.” Your dog passes by you two, running along the shore and playing in the water, blind to the atmosphere.
Doyoung respects what you say.
Although thankful for his silence, it eats away at you for days. Some part of you keeps saying that you are not letting Doyoung get as close to you as he has been letting and is letting. Because he lets you know how his biggest dream is to really debut in a Broadway show, and how singing means so much to him now. You know he studies in one of the best schools for musical theatre. You know about how he is lifelong companions with his brother now, instead of enemies like how they had been when you were children. You know he is still very afraid of anything remotely creepy. You know his biggest insecurity is his dancing and his biggest fear is being involved in anything violent and getting hurt. You just know so many things about him. And he keeps telling you even more with excitement beaming off of his eyes.
And it makes you feel bad. Because you cannot bring yourself to talk about everything like he does.
For one night, you let the attitude fall, though.
You decide he can get to know something if he wants to, because that night you had promised each other to meet at a later hour than you normally would have. You had promised your mother a proper dinner and chat, inarguably a nice way to spend your evening, and there were a bit too many glasses of drinks in your system. Luckily you were still highly functional— treading on the fine line between tipsy and fully drunk. It was more or less an open invitation to an interrogation with how talkative you were.
Doyoung notices the slight sway in your steps before a second even passes. He chuckles a bit, giggling as you throw yourself into his open arms. His giggling prompts a sluggish laugh from you because it is just so cute. And he helps you to your station of just a bit over two weeks. He helps you sit down without slipping, and helps your dog to calm down a little by petting her head.
He is still a very good friend.
You do not bother to open your mouth, because the sky is dark, the pier is dimly lit, the breeze is soft and chilly, the smell of sea salt is intoxicating, your old love bug of a dog is wagging her tail looking at you, and Doyoung is sitting right beside you. Your head is on his shoulder.
It feels so perfect. Why would you want to talk?
But he has other plans.
“Do you want to talk about last week? The night when we were walking along the shore, I mean?” His voice is gentle as ever. Even though the question is highly expected, you huff. Yet your head acts on autopilot as it nods. “Sure.”
He clears his throat. “Why do you feel lonely?” The question is blurted out and not cautiously asked, as if had he tried to ask it with caution he would not have been able to.
Still, it feels like he has to ask the hardest questions. But, you jump into an answer without any preparation. “First, you left. Every single summer I waited for you to come back. Along those summers I kind of,” The act of jumping into an answer does not seem to be all that easier than working through the painful thoughts, so you trail off a bit before you pick your words back up again. “I guess I kind of felt betrayed and, um, lost trust? I never tried to be friends with anyone and the amount of people that take the first step towards someone who clearly won’t try is fairly low, you know?” You look up at him, and he is already looking down at you. Gently but without a smile.
“So I didn’t have friends, really. Not like you. Then, like I told you— dad left. Was the icing on the cake. I was too used to his presence, like yours. Both of you were with me for more than half my life and suddenly you weren’t.” You scoot closer to him as an instinct and he welcomes you, like he always does. “I guess that hurt the most.”
“Was too big of an emptiness to handle?” It sounds so lighthearted, yet is so spot on. So you can only nod as you hold onto his arm. “Yeah, but I handled it.” Plus, it had payed off— he was here and soon, your father would be too.
Your father calls you a few days later on a sunny but breezy afternoon when you are in the backyard playing with your dog. His voice sounds tired and old— a fact you could only realize when you were not face to face with him. Tired maybe because of his work schedule. Old because you were not the only one growing up.
But his voice is not only tired and old, it also sounds genuinely apologetic. “Hey, honey, I don’t think I’ll be able to visit you there this summer. I’m so sorry. Maybe we can spend time next summer, you could even get an internship here before senior year starts?”
Yet it still sounds just like a mix of made up excuses. “You can’t or you won’t visit me?” The question is bitter with every sound that leaves you, and your father certainly seems to get the point as a sigh echoes in your ear soon after. “I don’t think your mother would enjoy me being there, so how about we just see each other in winter break, hm? It’s sooner than summer break, and a few months will fly by with school. I’m sure.”
“Making truce for a week shouldn’t be so hard after that many years of marriage.” Your argument is intended to reflect the disappointment in your voice and it does, but there is also a very obvious hint of hope in there that goes unnoticed. “That’s not how relationships work, honey. I’m sorry. Please don’t get mad at your mom, okay? Tell her I said hi, and call me back when you feel better.”
And he ends the call.
It takes everything in you to not throw the phone hard to the ground. Instead you call your dog to come sit next to you on the grass, and cuddle her in hopes of getting better. By ways of magic, perhaps, she can tell your heart is broken and that you need the company. So she calms down in lightning speed and just nuzzles into you, and you stay there like that, her sweating and looking around and rarely whining and hugging you closer, until your mother calls you in for dinner.
Dinner is uneventful save for your mother asking you if you would be going out again, which you would be. She talks to you about these new recipes that she has found in this new recipe book she bought and you pretend to be interested in the matter. In all honesty you could not care less but it would not be justifiable to say that since you knew you would be devouring the sweets if they came to existence in that instant.
You finish your food in silence before grabbing your denim jacket and making your way out of the door with only a stern and noticeable “Dad says hi.”
Doyoung is luckily already at the pier that evening even though it is slightly earlier than your usual meeting time. He is sat down at the end, looking down and watching the small waves hitting the legs of the pier. He must hear your feet on the boards because he immediately turns around and lifts himself up to his feet, but his smile falters when he is able to make your face out in the dim light. “Why are you alone? Something wrong?”
It is only his question that reminds you that you had rushed to the pier with one less friend because you forgot to bring her. That had never happened before, and the fact that you had the ability to forget weighs heavy on your shoulders— to the extent that you only look down at your feet in shame and break down when the tears invade your eyes without any signal.
Nothing happens for a few seconds as you weep. He takes the first step towards you after the initial shock and slowly brings you into a hug as you mumble shaky apologies with trembling hands. You are enclosed in such a hug that you cannot even hug him back, and he keeps reassuring you that it’s fine, that you don’t need to apologize for crying, and that you’re so strong. He keeps combing through your hair with his fingers, and at some point he helps you sit down before pulling you back into a hug.
Calming down is hard because of too many things hitting you at once, and perhaps because your newly-built happiness had taken another blow to it. “Dad’s not coming.” You manage out after a while, and he listens as you ramble. “There’s only a couple of weeks until I have to go back and—“
You sob. “I just want childhood back. Everything was better back then. He was here, you were here, we were happy. I’d give everything up to be kids again if I knew we could.”
His eyes are brimmed with tears too, but he would never tell you that. Instead he pulls you in closer if it even is possible, and takes a deep breath before speaking up. “What can I do for you?”
“Can you sing?” The low mumble vibrating into his chest reaches his heart, and he cannot bring himself to say no. It takes mere seconds before he takes in another breath and jumps into a song.
You are just so young at this very moment, my dearest Life ahead has hopes and joys Promises of happy days For you, for an eternity Neither loneliness nor any lies may ever bring tears to your eyes You've wept enough when you were born, Let that be the final, the last
Doyoung’s singing is beautiful. His airy voice that carries so much emotion with it only makes you cry harder initially, which makes him panic slightly as he keeps trying to check up on you, but you just shake your head and bury your face deeper into his chest. The song touches every living cell in your body and gives you a strength you would never expect a song to give you, and it makes you feel hopeful.
Just a bit, but it is a start of something that blooms in your chest.
And you do feel better afterwards, though it takes you some time to quiet down properly. Doyoung asks if you are actually feeling better when the sniffles subside, and you nod.
Then an idea strikes you, and you smile.
You shove Doyoung with your hand. “Ow! What was that for?”
Slowly rising up to your feet, you look at him. “Catch me if you can!”
And you bolt away from him.
It takes more time than strictly necessary for him to realize what you mean. His words only reach your ears when you have already made your way to the beach. “I thought we outgrew this!” And he starts running to catch you.
Playing tag on sand is more difficult than you remember. Maybe because you really outgrew this game, or maybe because it is dark, possibly both, but you could not care. You were too busy with running away from him, who by the way, was much better at tag than you would expect. He still had the speed he once did while you were kids and playing the game in your shared backyard, and the fact that you two were playing on sand does not seem to be phasing him too much.
You have to resort to running along the shore with your feet in the water to slow him down, but he still comes dangerously close to catching you. So it is really your only resort to run back onto the pier.
Except the pier is not wide enough to fit two adults circling the width of it with that much speed. It would only grant a chance for Doyoung to catch you. But, the adult you was crazy enough to do something the child you would never have the bravery to.
You do not know how you manage to take off your denim jacket that fast, but you do, and you let out a scream of adrenaline just as he shouts at you to stop— and you jump into the water when you reach the end.
The water is definitely colder than how it had been in the morning when you were swimming, but you still laugh as you make your way to the surface. Doyoung looks at you with wide eyes and a smile. “Come on!” You manage out. “A little water shouldn’t scare you from catching me.”
He laughs at the invitation, takes a few big steps back, and runs forward to jump into the water himself.
Your mother scolds you in the morning about the fact when she asks you why you have got a minor cold all of the sudden, but it certainly is worth it.
“You want to sleep over at ours tonight?”
You ask him the question as summer’s last days quickly approach on a night (basically almost a morning) where you have stayed up for too long. There was not much reason to let him go back to his friend’s house. Especially when you did not trust him with traveling in the dead of the night.
It freaks him out a bit, you can tell, because he physically gets a bit smaller and fidgets. “You know I can’t, what if your mom—“
“She’s sleeping, I swear. She never stays up this late. You can just sleep for a few hours and leave when the sun comes out.”
He cannot protest the idea much after that, because he knows you would not let him go.
Together, you leave the pier and start walking back to your house which takes quite some time, but it is nice. Walking back towards that direction with him again flutters your heart. It makes you want to squeal in excitement. But at the same time it is not exactly like how it was when the two of you were kids. There was something different.
You could not put a finger on it.
Your dog trails behind you, trotting contently as you walk arm in arm. Walking that way had started off as a joke around two weeks ago when the both of you walked through the streets neighboring the beach. You two played a game of two elites roaming through the streets of the commonwealth as you told him what the neighbors had been up to in the years that he had not come. And then, it just stayed as a habit.
Because it was comfortable. And because you liked being close to him.
When you reached the backyard, you opened the gate and let him and your dog in. The bugs were still playing a symphony of various different screeching, and your summer house was pitch dark as you had expected it to be.
You make your way towards the back door and slide it to the side, and one friend of yours makes her way inside and onto her bed immediately. The other friend is not so quick. You turn around to tell him to hurry up before mosquitoes make their way inside, but you find him stuck in place with no intention of moving as he looks at what used to be their house.
You slide the door back and walk back to him.
“It looks so.. run down,” He sounds so genuinely sad for the first time ever since he came back. It hurts you to see it. “And old. I wish I could help it somehow.” The second half of his words only come out as a whisper as he inspects the place that holds his better part of childhood memories.
“Nobody’s bought it. Your parents could buy it back if they wanted to, but it does require a lot of work inside.” You suggest calmly, and with hope that is supposed to be ironic yet quite the opposite of it. Doyoung looks so confused at what you say. It takes him a good moment before it clicks. “Yeah, yeah, true. I don’t think they’d do it, though.” He sighs, thoroughly considering whether to stay there and look at the house, or to go back in. He chooses the better option even though it is hard. “Let’s go inside.”
It takes too much effort to coerce him into sleeping with you on your bed rather than having him sleep on the very uncomfortable couch. You tell him more than enough times that his back would be broken if he ever attempted even taking a nap on the couch— speaking from experience— and he just ends up giggling shyly when you tell him it does not have to be weird if you two sleep together.
So you two go to your room. As the furnitures never really needed to change, your bed was still a twin bed, which only prompted Doyoung to get that much shier.
You two get in the bed and under the covers, you on the side against the wall to give him the chance to leave comfortably when he has to. To make him feel better about it, you take your phone and set an alarm to the exact minute of sunrise, and he laughs when you tell him he is too much of a scaredy cat.
As your twin bed’s width commanded, you had to cuddle to have a chance at sleeping comfortably. Your head on his chest feels better than ever, his breathing hitting the top of your head slightly funny. He giggles when you giggle at the feeling. You can imagine him smiling crystal clear in your head and surely, when you look up at him, he is.
It is just a shame that you do not hear his heartbeat when you turn back to sleep, because you really wonder if it is beating as fast as yours do.
Just a few days before you have to leave.
You ask Doyoung to come in the afternoon that day because you want to have a picnic, which he agrees to. Both of you meet at the pier around an hour before sun would start to set, and share a hug before he starts to make his way to the end of the pier. But you stop him this once. “I wanna take you somewhere else.” He agrees to it without much questioning.
The trails seem to be a bit more overtaken by thorns and wild flowers, so it takes you a bit longer than it should have to get to the patch of olive trees. You look at him expectantly when you arrive and, surely enough, he has one of the most beautiful smiles on his face. The happiest, too, if you recall right.
You lead him to your tree and set the bag of snacks down, preparing the place— laying down the old table cloth to sit on, taking out the packed sandwiches and olives and the blueberry muffins. He is too entranced looking at the tree to notice, but he throws an apologetic glance when he realizes.
“Where are the strings? I can’t see them,” He claims. You point to one of the higher end of the branches, a place where they definitely were not initially placed. “I had to change their location as it grew,” You explain. “They were too tight to stay where we’d tied them when we were midgets.”
Doyoung laughs and its remainder stays on his face as he finally spots the strings on the tree. He looks at it for a minute or two in adoration, but his eyes hold something a bit sadder inside.
Maybe he misses childhood, too; you never stopped to think about it before.
Soon enough he sits down. You unwrap your sandwich and suggest he does the same, but he tells you he is not that hungry though he would make sure to eat it.
A warm chatter starts between you two. He asks you what you would be doing for junior year, which was pretty set already— you would be looking for internships left and right, and trying to survive the mountains worth of assignments. Midterms and finals would surely be getting more difficult as well, but that did not matter all that much. An internship would help you find a job, so that would be your focus.
You ask the same to him, what he would do that year before he graduates. It must be exciting to graduate, and Doyoung tells you he would have to start looking for places to live and extend his immigration status in one way or another while he auditions maybe hundreds of times before he manages to land himself in a good musical and hopefully a good position.
He can do it, you know. There is no way he cannot with that voice. You tell him that, and he gets a bit flattered before telling you his concerns do not have too much to do with singing but rather with dancing.
You tell him he still can.
That ends up being the finish line for that conversation and you finish your sandwich in silence, only looking at your phone sometimes to see if you have any texts or calls from your mother, since she is the one that has to take care of your dog.
He watches the leaves wave in the constant breeze this summer offered this place, and picks up an olive from the cup you had brought. He holds it up and lines it with the branches that are decorated with unripe olives, and squints his eyes before asking. “Did these come from here?”
You nod your head enthusiastically. “Mhm,” Your hand lands itself on the trunk behind your back. “From this tree itself. My dad collected them when he came here in October last year.”
Doyoung smiles and pops the olive into his mouth. He looks genuinely delighted to be eating it, which makes you happy.
The two of you continue chatting and bickering and relaxing until sun starts setting, which signals that you have to get going. The summer house still had to get cleaned and tidied up to get ready for being locked up for the off-season, and the amount of work you and your mother had to do was a bigger deal than it needed to be. Not to mention the fact that you had to carry so many stuff to and from this place every year, so there was even some packing to do, which you hated. University experience really brought too much of it.
And then there is the fact that somehow, you would have to say goodbye. Having to say goodbye to Doyoung gave you a nostalgic feeling, but mostly it made you feel sad and scared. The day you would have to tell him goodbye for who knows how long was approaching without any mercy, which did not make it any easier to plan what to do next or how to say it before going to sleep at night.
So maybe it is only fair to say what is going through your mind. Which is that you do not want him to leave again. “Doyoung,” You start off. He looks into your eyes with full attention. “Don’t leave again. Not for long.”
The request prompts the start of silence. But it is only for a short while before he gulps, and answers with determination. “I won’t.” He shakes his head. “Not again.”
The untold promise makes you so happy you can cry, and what he happens next is really not something that had a thought behind it.
You place your hands on his jaw and bring him closer, so much closer to you until your lips meet, and his hand springs to hold yours on his face with shock. What you seem to be doing shocks you as well, but you cannot exactly stop yourself. You did not want to. And you certainly are sure you would not stop unless he wants to.
Yet, he also does not seem to want to stop. Because after the initial shock that lasts for what must be only a second, he holds your hand tight and places his other hand on the small of your back. His lips are so soft and airy, and the way he kisses you is so endearing. It feels like he is repeating his promise without words, telling you he is here now, and he would be here when you come back. You stop and pull away from him just for a second, looking into his eyes that shimmer before leaning back in and pecking his lips again and again— kissing him thank you, thank you, thank you. He holds you in place and kisses you for what you know is going to be the last time, and he kisses you so forcefully it screams I love you; I don’t know how it happened but I love you and I want to keep loving you.
You push back against his lips in an attempt to say I love you yourself, but you have to pull away and hug him tight to make any sense.
It takes a moment for him to start speaking, and when he does, he sounds absolutely horrified. “We need to talk.”
You pull away from him again and look at his stressed figure. It makes your heart drop. “About this?”
He shakes his head at first but then nods. “I need to tell you something. We really need to talk.”
The happiness in you dares to falter, but you will not let it. Not this once. Not when you are this happy. So you lift yourself up onto your feet and shake your head, because you will not let him bulldoze something he had built himself. “You know what? No. Let me live with this just for a night.” Doyoung tries to protest, opening his mouth, but you cut him off before he can even start. “Just one night, Doyoung. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
He only nods slightly, and you mutter an “I’ll leave now, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” Before packing everything back up and handing him his sandwich, and rushing back to your house.
It takes you only a short while to get there because of how fast you were walking, and you do your best to get into the backyard and into the house without making much noise, because your mother was not expecting you. She might have been sleeping.
And granted, the house is silent and calm when you first walk in. But then you spot the figure of your mother hunched over the island counter in the kitchen, on the phone. You are about to go ahead and hug her from the back as a surprise when her barely audible sob stops you. It is impossible to go unnoticed just how hard she is crying, because she cannot even let it out fully. It makes you wonder why, what was wrong, but then she speaks—
“I’m serious. Our child was speaking into pure emptiness and it’s.. I don’t know what to do. I’m so scared.”

Dio - Back to you
This is cross-posted from Wattpad and available on AO3. This is an old work, the writing has improved ever since. 
Enjoy~
Living in London in the 19th century was not easy for everyone.
If you were born in a wealthy or a noble family, you would live a peaceful life, in the countryside maybe. Going into the inner city from time to time to run some errands or have a good time. Study, graduate, get married to a beautiful lady or a nice gentleman, found a family and be happy.
But that was far, far from your situation. You were a street scum. Yes.
You lived in London, in the dark side of the city, where misery reigned. You were an orphan, you only had your father, and unfortunately, he was slowly dying of a horrible disease. A curable one, yet, way too expensive for you to afford the cure.
You had dropped out of school and stole your way out most of your life. You barely had enough to eat every other day. When your father fell ill, you had no choice but to find any way to work when possible and pay for his treatments and your basic sanitary needs, mostly putting his well being over your own.
It was hard and stressful, but you knew you could always count on that one person who was always there when you needed him.
The one and only Dio Brando.
Dio grew up with you, he knew the streets of London like the back of his hand, and he often helped you when you were troubled by the men of Ogre Street, or when you were caught red-handed stealing.
Both of you got close as you were in similar situations, so you helped each other out and talked out your problems and concerns. You only had one another and couldn't trust anybody else.
He could act rather coldly or even violent towards people who picked on him, but you knew he hid great pain under his persona, so you could never hate him. You would usually hang out together outside or get something to eat if you could afford it.
On his side, he was always delighted by your presence. Even with your life situation, you always came up to him with a bright smile on your beautiful face. You never judged his actions and always listened to him.
He wondered sometimes how someone with such a pure heart could even stay with a demon like him. He felt like he had to protect you. He could fight, he was also very smart, he could always help you, he wanted you to depend on him more.
You both had an unexpectedly tight relationship.
One evening, you came up to him inside a rowdy tavern where he often bet and played chess with strangers. You had a surprise for him.
You came from behind him and put your hands on his shoulders to scare him, but sadly for you, it failed. He turned gracefully around and greeted you.
"Oh Y/N, how are you?" his lips curled upwards charmingly.
"Dio I have amazing news! Did you eat yet?"
He shook his head, wondering what was so amazing that he needed to hear it on an empty stomach.
You sat down at the table in front of him and pulled out something wrapped in paper towels. You unwrapped it onto the table to reveal some skewers.
You looked at him expectantly with a huge smile on your face while Dio's eyes widened like saucers.
"Are you nuts?" he questioned your sanity, bewildered. "Where in hell did you get meat? Are you even aware how expensive that is?"
He still couldn't believe how crazy you were, bringing him noblesse food, for no particular reason. Meat was one of those things you couldn't just steal that easily.
"I know, but I wanted to surprise you! You deserve it after all. Here, eat up!" you handed him one of the skewers eagerly.
"How did you afford it?" His tone was dead serious.
"Huh? It's not important, eat!" You insisted with a hand gesture, but he didn't even spare a glance at it. His features darkened suddenly.
"Y/N don't tell me... Don't tell me you..."
"I what?" you asked confused.
He had an idea of how you could have had that much money in such a short period of time, but he didn't want to think about it. He didn't want to even imagine you would have done this, by yourself, alone, without consulting him...
After all, in the dark streets of London, at this time, that business was flourishing, especially with young teenage girls...
"You didn't sell your body for these, did you?" he asked almost painfully. He swore if you said yes all hell were going to break lose.
If he was going to protect you, he would protect all of you. He wouldn't forgive himself if you had to deal with harm all alone for his sake.
You blushed at his unholy assumption and frantically answered.
"W-what?! No!! Of course no- I mean..." You paused, wanting to chose your next words carefully.
"Not yet at least I.. Maybe if one day I don't have a choice anymore... For father, but... I'm okay! I didn't do anything reckless just for meat!"
You tried to reassure him. He was relieved, but still had a dark expression on his face, like he was not entirely convinced.
"I earned that money properly, I swear! I actually worked for it!" You smiled big as he finally took the skewer from your small hands.
"But don't worry, okay? I said if I really don't have a choice, as in... life or death matter. I really don't want to have to do it either..." you trailed off.
"Don't ever do it. Even if you don't have a choice. Only I, can give you the choice to make." He sounded confident as ever, but he couldn't shake the scary thought out of his head .
"Of course! You're the only one I can trust with my decisions anyway." you told him sheepishly.
You knew you weren't as smart and composed as him, so if anything, you'd ask him for help and advice before anything.
"You better, otherwise you'll hear from me." he muttered as he took a bite out of his meat "You don't eat?"
You shook your head "Just for you. You need proteins to win boxing fights, big boy."
He just scoffed and ate, secretely glad to have you safe by his side.
Weeks passed, and Dio wanted to see you to announce something important. You didn't know what it was, but it seemed serious, so you joined him.
You saw him standing in front of the tavern so you jogged a bit to get to him.
"How's my favourite friend?" you said excitedly with a big smile.
"I'm your only friend." he blurted with a straight face.
"Ouch. I mean, it's true but still!"
"Let's get inside." He entered the building and you followed suit.
You both sat down. You were excited wondering what kind of announcement he needed to make.
Dio, however, had a grave expression on his face. He simply slid an enveloppe across the table towards you and you furrowed your eyebrows at it. You took it and opened it to read the content of the letter inside.
"Remember when I told you my failure of a father had history with the Joestar family?"
You just stared at him and nodded silently. He send you a look signaling you to continue to read so you would understand what he meant.
The letter was from Georges Joestar. In it was a message telling Dio that he would be more than happy to take him in, as Dio's father was close to death. A cab would be sent to him as soon as Dio contacted Georges. As you finished reading you put the letter down and softly asked.
"You... You're going to live with the Joestar...?" there was a mix of surprise and sadness in your tone. Dio nodded in confirmation, and you smiled, trying to hide your sadness.
"It's amazing! Really! I'm so happy for you, Dio! You will live in an easy family and finally get what you always deserved!"
You were genuinely happy for your friend. You always told him how sofisticated, charming and smart he was. He was like a prince in the slums, he totally didn't belong in the piss hole you lived in.
No, a man like Dio belonged in a castle, with a bunch of servants ready to serve his every needs. He would flick your forehead everytime you told him this, telling you to stop fantasizing, but secretely hoping it would come true.
As the blond didn't respond you continued.
"You're going to have a great home, and eat a lot, and maybe you'll have a huge library there! I know you love books. And I'm sure you'll feel right at home, you belong in a place like that, I always said it! Your life is going to chang-"
"Y/N you're rambling again." Dio cut you off as he saw you were getting out of hand.
"Ahah, I'm sorry! It's just..." your expression softened as you looked down. "I'm so happy for you Dio... You're getting out of this crappy place once and for all." Even if you were happy for him, you couldn't shrug the pang of sadness in your heart.
"What's wrong Y/N? You should see your face right now." He said, noticing your obvious pain.
It hurt a little. After all, he was leaving you. You only had him, but now he was going away. You tried to imagine how your daily life would look like without him. It was painful.
You couldn't look at him, you were scared that if you did, you would start crying. You just looked away, staring at nothing.
"It's just... I'm going to miss you, Dio... A lot.." You didn't want to make it all about you so you quickly added.
"But it's okay! I'll write you some letters! And if you ever come to the city to visit we'll see each other, right? Let's say... On week-ends? Or I'll sneak into a train and come see you!"
You wanted to laugh it off, but stopped immediately when you felt warm calloused hands grab yours from across the table. Your expression faded and you stared at his sharp amber eyes.
"Y/N..."
You flinched and your breath hitched. The way he pronounced your name made your heart flutter. You really felt like it was the end for you both when he spoke like that. You wanted to carve his voice deep inside your memory before he went.
"Y/N, I have an objective. There's something that I need to do. I'll come back to London, and I'll come back to you eventually." He explained with dark determination.
He tightened his grip on your hands and you nodded in understanding without a word, not trusting your voice at the moment.
"I'll tell you when I'll go. Don't do anything reckless when I'm gone. Don't go to Ogre street. Come home early. This is not a request this is an order."
He let go of your hands and got up, you got up afterwards and without thinking, ran up to him, abruptly wrapping your arms around his waist. You buried your face in his chest, trying to hide your tears.
You felt him sigh and caress your head gently, letting you sob in his arms.
He was definitely coming back to you, that's for sure. After all, he wasn't done making you his.
Dio is the one character that I can't seem to write about? I don't know, I understand his personality and motives and actions, but writing something with him makes him out of character. Everything I write about him feels wrong.
Curse you Dio, you fucking whore.

02 Notkhan (No kinks please! Maybe some activity/hobby you like to see/write them doing together instead?)
when or if I started shipping it : An excellent question ! That I don’t have a solid answer to. I. Uh. I. Know it’s because of Patho 2, but I genuinely can’t pinpoint when I started shipping it. I kinda just. did. I also have an extremely bad memory for stuff like this, so. This is left as an open ended “I just don’t know, but somehow, I did”
my thoughts: The whole friendship breaking and yet the clear respect and that, faced with a tragedy larger than them, they try to make peace for the sake of more than them, it’s good, okay, it’s good. P2 really decided to take a look at these two and go “what if........ more respect and friendship between the children gang leaders, despite their conflict that leads to clearly awful and violent events ?”, which was the best possible move ever. Add crushes on it and it’s just my jam. I just love it. P1 Khan and Notkin are slightly more murderous children than their P2 counterpart, and P1 Khan is just A Baby, gods I still can’t believe he’s ten, so it’s a little weirder anyway in that context, so yeah, it’s all P2 thoughts for shipping at least, even if (holds P1 Notkin Termite ending) I would love to see that happen in P2 Diurnal, with him and Khan working together, one focusing on the outside relations of the Town and the other on the Town itself, it’s some good content and possibility for the future. So. Yes.
What makes me happy about them: (waves around) ... I think it’s the fact that I do find interesting that those two teens who come from radically different backgrounds have this potential to be so close, even after their relation clearly end up in a bad shape over ideals and all that.
What makes me sad about them: With Notkin being so at risk of the plague, just imagining Khan ending up taking care of Jester makes me awfully sad, because it’s both grieving for a friend that was no longer completely a friend, and that held more, and, you know, the inherent risk that he was facing and that Khan couldn’t do more than what he did during the outbreak. And learning how to take care of Jester. And things like that. The potential of sadness is immense and it’s all about grieving for someone close and the potential, but I feel like there is a level of sadness in particular about Khan taking Jester in if Notkin dies.
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Not enough fanfics for me to say that there is anything that annoys me, honestly, ahah
Things I look for in fanfic: Fanfics. I look for fanfics. Just in general. (I need to provide my own okay)
My kinks Hobbies and things I like to see them do: Still hidden in my WIP is a museum date fic set in the Capital, that includes them discussing both theory and more “tactile” aspects of a piece of art, and I think that it’s a good summary of what I like to see them do. That and taking care of animals. I don’t. I just want to see Khan getting some affection from pets. I have a fondness for Khan getting a half and learning how to take care of it with Notkin.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:(shrugs) Ehhh, I guess Capella for Khan, even if it’s not my favourite as I prefer them as friends ? ... Honestly I just don’t give enough of a thought to other ships with them. Sticky and Notkin can be a cute option ? I have no idea. Why not ? These can be cute.
My happily ever after for them: I’m good with them being alive and happy, you know ? ... Which is not a given in Pathologic’s world.

Bad Day
Summary: You had a horrible day, but Bucky is there to make it a little better
Warnings: fluff, swearing
Pairing: Bucky x Reader
Word Count: 1211
A/N: This piece is for my lovely @kneel-begyourpardon​, who had a really bad day few days ago, and I wanted her to feel a little better. But it’s also for all of you, having shitty days. Know that you are not alone, and that Tumblr friends and Bucky are always here for you. This piece is super short, and very probably not good, because I wrote during my 12-hour shift, but bear with me please. Love y’all xx
Tumblr media
Masterlist
You were fuming. You were coming home from work, and all you wanted to do was to bury yourself under tons of blankets and just die. That’s how bad your day was. The only thing you were actually looking forward to was seeing your man, Bucky. He texted you that he got home sooner than you, for the first time in weeks, and was cooking dinner. Your time schedules were usually very different, and for a few weeks, you always only managed to spend a few hours before you passed out in the bed. But he was home now, and the thought made you smile. But then the images of the day resurfaced in your mind, and you were pissed off and sad all over again.
You unlocked the front door, and a lovely smell filled your senses. Bucky was making teriyaki based dish, you weren’t quite sure what yet, and saliva started to gather in your mouth. You could feel your body relaxing already, just by the mere fact that you were home, and that Bucky was back sooner than usual. And to top it all, he was making your favourite food.
“In here, doll,” Bucky yelled from the kitchen, and you followed both the odour and his melodious voice. The sight that welcomed you made you smile. Bucky was already serving the food on the plates, his brows crouched in concentration, and the image was drawn to perfection by him wearing your fluffy pink apron.
“I could get used to this,” you said with a smirk, and he just smiled, and after he was finished with the task at hand, finally looked up. He smiled warmly at you, but his smile quickly faded and was replaced by a worried frown. You could feel him looking deep in your soul, searching for the reason you seem so upset. He knew you too long and could read you too easily, for you to be able to conceal anything from him. For better or for worse. He let go of the food and took 3 long steps to get right in front of you. He cradled your face and looked you deep in the eyes.
“What happened, doll? Who pissed you off?” He was so caring and lovely, and even though you didn’t really feel like crying before, suddenly, there was a lump in your throat. You knew that if you spoke up, the dam with tears would break. So you just shook your head and closed your eyes to regain at least some level of composure.
“Tell me, Y/N! I wanna know whose ass should I kick for making my girl this upset.” You smiled at that, knowing very well that he’d actually go and kill someone for you.
“It was just such a shitty day, you know? “You started and felt that you need to get it all out. “Like, you know how my boss gets in these moods, well, today, he probably had his shittiest yet. I’m the only fucking person who actually does what he or she’s supposed to. Hell, I even do some work for others because I know I’m good at it, and today, that piece of shit just asked me something about an audit we’re supposed to be having in two weeks, but nobody informed me about it. And so he started degrading me in front of the whole floor, pretty much calling me stupid and useless, even though everyone knows it’s not true! And then Miriam, you know the bitch from personal, came in and started telling me how I’m not able to fill out some yellow form properly, and if I’m fucking dumb and stuff, and just... Ugh!” You were full-on crying now, but you didn’t give two damns ’bout that.
“And then I came to my car, and noticed that a guy was getting out of his right next to mine, and his door bumped into mine. So I was like what are you doing, and all that, and he just told me to stop being a bitch and get over it, and I was so close to hitting him, babe, you have no idea! And I just- don’t want to face the world ever again.” You finished your speech, your tears still hot on your cheeks. Bucky was listening to you the whole time, holding you tightly, grounding you, in a sense.
“Well, that sounds like the worst day ever. Is there anything that would help you, baby?” He asked you incredulously, and more tears streamed down your face, and this time, you weren’t sure if you were crying out of frustration from the whole day, or from the sole fact that Bucky was so damn perfect, and always knew how to act around you, even at your worst.
“How about a massage? I haven’t given you one in a long time, and I bet your back and neck are screaming to be touched after such a day. And don’t start and give me cheeky grins, no funny business, young lady, I really mean massage as in massage, no cryptic message here!” You smiled because that was exactly where your mind went instantly.
“That sounds- actually really amazing. Won’t you mind? I don’t want you to do something you’re not comfortable with, especially when you were at work as well. Gosh, what kind of girlfriend am I when I didn’t ask you how your day was?” This brought more tears to your eyes, but Bucky shushed you quickly.
“Stop it, Y/N. You are the best girlfriend and human being I’ve ever met, and I want to give you a massage because every other day you’re taking care of me, and now you need me, and I’m going to oblige most happily. I fucking love you, ok? And if you want, you can quit your job first thing tomorrow.”
“I don’t think such drastic measures will be necessary, but thank you. For everything.” You kissed him, and when you wanted to deepen the kiss, Bucky pulled away. “Ahah! I told you no funny business. Now, we eat, I’ll run you a bubble bath and I’ll open the bottle of wine you were so keen on getting the other day, I will even light up some scented candles to make it all relaxing and stuff, and when you’re a mush, I’ll give you the massage of your life, and then we sleep this shitty day away. What do you say, doll?” The tears that were not decorating your face were slowly drying, and there was no other reason for them to float again.
You honestly had the worst day ever, but you realised that no day can be totally shitty if you’re surrounded by people you love, especially someone so special as Bucky. He was your beacon of hope and love, and you were about to make sure just how awesome he truly was. Making you smile on a day like this was a miracle, and he did it with such ease. God, you really did love him so much. He grabbed your hand with a wink, and led you towards the table, with teriyaki rice, tofu and vegetables. The night couldn’t have been better, even if it followed such a horrendous day.
