and at last, the post that maybe three people maximum have been waiting for...

em's comfort retro rally videos: a masterlist!

in a much-needed return to this blog's roots, and as an antidote to all motorsport- and life-related chaos, i now present to you: the first edition of em's favorite retro rally videos!

general disclaimer/info: these videos mainly come from the group B era of the world rally championship (wrc), which generally speaking was in the '80s. i am only human, so expect a lot of bias toward my personal favorites...which will become very apparent as you read this list hehe. also i'm not even gonna pretend to be an expert on this or anything. a lot of these are literally just based on Vibes

table of contents

i. my top 5 rally coverage videos

mainly coverage for television, recorded on VHS and uploaded to YouTube by some truly incredible people

ii. honorable mentions

not rally coverage, but retro rally videos nevertheless

often documentaries, mini-doc features, interviews

for all videos, i have indicated the language (most are in english fyi); if any links fail or videos disappear, send me an ask or DM and i'll remove the culprit/find an alternative link.

and now, onward!

(TW for occasional flash photography in many of the night sequences of the videos, as well as a gif included in this post)

i. my top 5 rally coverage videos

in which my bias toward audi sport, mouton/pons, mikkola, toivonen, and vatanen are put on blast for all to see 🥴 i am not an expert in anything i am just very good at research and a whore for aud—[SNIPED]. for the sake of brevity, i narrowed my favorites down to 5. maybe another time i will share all the rest!

also, a general note about the commentary: sometimes, the commentary around michèle and fabrizia can get... weird. keep in mind, they were the most prominent female team partnership around that time, and the first to nearly clinch a wrc wdc, and to modern ears, the commentators really didn't know how to act around them. personally, it wasn't horrible for me, i just ignored the weirder bits, but i understand if others might find it off-putting. also for the sake of your sanity don't read the comments.

5. Rally of the 1000 Lakes, 1984 | finland

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: vatanen/alén/toivonen (full final results)

comments: this was definitely a rally for most of audi sport's drivers to forget: bar stig blomqvist, who came quite close to the podium finishers with a 4:14:01 to henri toivonen's 4:12:57! both hannu mikkola and michèle mouton had to retire from the race, which may lead you to wonder: why does this rank among my favorites? well, it's always fun to watch group b rally cars sailing through the air against picturesque scenery, and this video also contains an intriguing (at least for me!) look at the scrutineering process, with drivers at their most casual.

owie :( they were fine though!

4. Lombard RAC Rally, 1981 | britain

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: mikkola/vatanen/blomqvist (full final results)

comments: hannu winning by 11 whole minutes even after rolling his car in the middle of the forest is actual legend behavior! anyway this was michèle's first wrc outing in britain, and even though she and fabrizia had to retire, they still did quite well, consistently running high in the leaderboards after the first few stages. and that's considering the fact that michèle had a bad cold for much of the rally and had to ask fabrizia to drive the car to service park for her at one point bc she was so tired. which fabrizia did... with a pencil in her mouth. lot of big names in one video—also, jean todt makes an appearance as a co-driver!

shamelessly poached off of one of my text post edits

3. Marlboro Safari Rally, 1983 | kenya

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: vatanen/mikkola/mouton (full final results)

comments: ok can i just say how stunning the video presentation is?? the opening sequence is just!!! the shots of the wildlife! the sprinting giraffes! wow! anyway the visual of drivers in deck chairs just tickles me for no reason, and michèle please tell me what you ask for at the hairdresser's and also where you got that orange blouse (this is obviously not just specific to this rally, she always eats and leaves no crumbs). this was michèle's first entry and only finish in kenya (and of course it was a podium mwah). it was also her last wrc entry in the A1 quattro, as she switched to the A2 for the rest of her program in the '83 season. also this is one of my favorite podium pictures ever.

lksdjffnnkd there's almost too much to unpack... fabrizia somehow surviving in high waist jeans in a hot car... michèle's do-it-yourself shorts... this podium picture was the subject of a very frantic video chat conversation between myself and a friend at 2am a few months ago

2. Rallye de Portugal, 1982 | portugal

links: short recap (eng) | overall coverage 1, stuck in the middle of two other rallies. timestamps in descrip. (eng) | overall coverage 2, very vibey with cool music (ita... also peep walter röhrl speaking italian)

podium: mouton/eklund/wittmann (full final results)

comments: GOD I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH AAAA! michèle's first podium of '82 being a win? this rally being the one where there's footage of her going shopping with fabrizia afterward? (more on that later) them winning by 13 whole minutes? and that's not even considering THEE most poetic victory ceremony of all time! in fact let me talk about that bc the racing and the win aside, that's why it's so high up on my list! literally poetic cinema! it's night, they're standing on top of the car and floodlit and surrounded by cheering crowds but they may as well be the only ones there in their own little world, laughing at each other and barely even having to look to each other when they're raising their hands—like god! shut up! we get it you're besties 😭

i_just_think_theyre_neat.png

and now... last but certainly never least...

1. Lombard RAC Rally, 1982 | britain

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: mikkola/mouton/toivonen (full final results)

comments: firstly, if you were to ask me about my dream podium, this would be it. hands down, across all series of motorsport, my comfort podium would be hannu, michèle, and henri in any order. (there's such a cute picture of them from this rally on pinterest, standing in order on a staircase. henri is not looking at the camera because he is laughing at something michèle is saying and it's such a Vibe but i cannot find it wah). the battle for second between michèle and henri ran down to literally the last stage, and their times are separated by seconds, which is just wild to me. the context of this rally deserves another post, which i honestly don’t have the energy to make rn, but just take my word for it that it threatens to destroy me if i think about it too hard! anyway this is just such an awesome rally and i’ve watched this video so many times haha

i love this rally so much that i actually had a character in a story i was writing attend the ceremony captured in this picture as a small child and made it a formative moment in her life. no, there is nothing wrong with me.

ii. honorable mentions

(is it obvious who my faves are? yikes)

'Group B - Avec Michele Mouton' (eng) - taken from a longer feature presentation about group b, a segment specifically about michèle. a friend once described its vibes as ‘a synth wave edit of an 80s anime set in a cyberpunk world about racing’

'1983 Audi Sport National Rally with Michele Mouton' (eng) - in which michèle takes journalist sue baker as a co-driver for a spin in an A1 and a rally win. fun behind-the-scenes video

'Intervista a Fabrizia Pons, la Regina delle Note' 1, 2, 3 (ita) - very thorough interview which is mostly fabrizia telling all sorts of stories, including the very entertaining story of how she found out she was going to be michèle’s co-driver. also what a badass title

'2008 Otago International Classic Rally' (eng) - THE BESTIES REUNITE THE BESTIES REUNITE!!! michèle and fabrizia reunite for a rally that fabrizia convinced michèle to join, they suffer some problems but there are plenty of wholesome bestie moments to be had

'Michele Mouton hurls Group B Audi Quattro up Goodwood hill' (eng) - i mean, self explanatory. the sound of the chirping tires? asmr could never. very short watch if you want a quick pick-me-up

'1990 Louise Aitken-Walker feature' (eng) - a video featuring a female rally driver from scotland and her point-scoring run at the rallye monte -carlo. i am convinced that louise was john finnemore’s inspiration or at least an influence for the character of linda fairbairn. no my hat is not made of tin foil what are you talking about

hannu rocketing around michigan back in 2017 (eng)

hannu flying around goodwood in 2015 (eng)

sometimes i listen to fabrizia's recent onboards (yes, she's still at it!) and this one is one of my favorites, from 2016 (ita)

jazz from heaven

pairing: aizawa x gn!reader

warnings: stress mention, panic attack mention, crying

word count: 1800

summary: after a stressful week, reader drives to aizawa’s apartment at 2am for comfort

Footsteps echoed in the never ending staircase, mocking you for your late night visit. Quick, shaky breaths left you as you reached the top floor. You had always hated the position of his apartment, in the middle of the city and on the top floor. It made going in and out easier for hero work since he could use the roof to enter and leave without making too much of a fuss. After climbing the mountain of stairs that was understandable but in this very moment, you hated that he lived here with every fiber of your being.

It was a quiet saturday morning. For once the streets were empty, even the high end villains would be sleeping by now. Everyone was asleep but you. You had made your way to your boyfriend's apartment at 3am and hoped for the love of everything that's holy that he was awake.

Of course as a teacher and pro, he was bound to be awake to grade or just coming back from patrol. It was the weekend of course and you'd normally hope

he was getting some rest but now you needed him awake. Just awake enough to give you a hug.

You knocked on the door, the sounds echoing in the halls. One, two, three.

You chewed on your lip and pulled on your fingers while you waited for an answer. Maybe it was too quiet? Maybe he was sleeping?

With a knot in your throat, you stood in front of the wood door, sniffing quietly. The week had been rough, today being the worst it's been in a while. You hadn't seen Shouta in a week. UA gave him more work than he usually had, especially since he was a homeroom teacher again. Of course you guys had kept in touch through texts and calls but right now you needed the real thing. You didn't want to be the clingy s/o, even if you've wanted to come by every day this week.

On Monday, when customers had yelled at you all day long you just wanted to sink into his arms.

On Tuesday, when weird guys chatted you up on the street and didn't leave until you dared to call someone.

On Wednesday, when you met old friends and they pointed out how much happier you seemed back in the day and how much you've lost your smile.

On Thursday, when you overthought yourself into an extensive panic attack in your bedroom.

Friday had been the worst. You almost immediately started bawling once you got home from an extra shift at work, barely being able to hold yourself for a couple of hours until the tears stopped. The next thing you could remember was being on your way to his place.

Your phone lit up the dark corridor, blue light shining onto your face. 'hey, it's me at your door’

Footsteps approached, dragging themselves over the wood floor. After a few seconds of unlocking the rather old door, Shouta opened and gave you an unamused look.

“It’s 2am, y/n.”

He had a towel throw over his shoulders, his damp hair falling on it. The usual hero jumpsuit was nowhere to be seen, his pink sweatpants instantly catching your eye. Paired with a washed out and too big shirt, he looked about bed ready even if you knew he wouldn’t be sleeping for another hour or two. Warm air came from behind him, you smelling the shampoo Mic had recommended him a few weeks ago.

“I know… I’m sorry…” You breathed out while walking into his apartment. Your eyes glued to the floor, a shaky breath escaped you as you took off your shoes.

The pro’s eyes softened. His confusion turned into concern, reminding himself that your late night visits usually had a reason.

You stood back up and took another deep breath. Guilt washed over you when you remembered that you showed up at Shouta’s door at 2am, when he was probably exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. Your cheeks burned as he walked past you into the living room, one of the only light sources except from the bathroom behind you.

Shouta had just gotten done with the last grades, the pile of graded papers neatly next to his mug of tea and all of his work stuff. He wanted to finish school stuff up, even if patrol had worn him out, so that he could completely relax on the upcoming weekend.

“Sorry for not calling more, I’ve been really busy with school…” He walked past you and put away the stacks of paperwork, so that the cat didn’t have her fun with them if she came home overnight. “Kids can be such a pain, I don’t know why I agreed to be a homeroom teacher.”

A few cars passed by, slow jazz coming from another apartment. It was a faint sound but just enough to push you to the edge. Lights flickered when you took another step into the apartment, as if you had just disrupted its peace.

He huffed as he turned off the lights and got back to you. You who was still awkwardly standing in the corridor as if this was your first time at his place. You pulled on your fingers and just watched him put his stuff away.

“Everything okay?” He stood in front of you now, a hand on your cheek and soft eyes looking into yours. Even if he wasn’t the most expressive with his own emotions, he had mastered yours. Something was wrong, even if you probably didn’t want to think about it. You probably still would either today or tomorrow but he didn’t want to inquire more.

With a gentle tug, he pulled you into his arms and pressed you close to him. His warmth surrounded you while he patted your head. Tears streamed down your face, silent sobs escaping you. You started shaking as the sobs got more violent, Shouta just holding you and stroking your back.

“Oh, y/n…”

The tears soaked into his black t-shirt, your arms wrapped around him as you heaped. Keeping your low as low as possible, it was still 2am after all, you felt his steady breath against you. It made you feel safe, as if nothing could happen to you anymore.

Shouta didn’t know why you showed up to cry. But after working with a lot of different people, including teenagers and kids, he knew that this wasn’t the appropriate time to ask. What you needed was a no judgement zone and comfort.

With the last tears flowing, you started regulating your breath again. Your boyfriend noticed your deepening breaths, holding you even closer.

“That’s right, just deep breaths…” With a low whisper, he gave you kisses on your forehead as you did just that.

You sniffed and took a shaky breath as you buried your face in his shoulder. With a tightened grip on him, you just took him in and waited for the uneasy feeling to leave your system. You still trembled, trying to hold back the tears that dared to spill again. It was enough crying for today. In fact, you had cried enough for a lifetime this past week. Shouta was probably exhausted too, he didn’t need more to worry about.

Of course, he noticed your struggle. If one of you pulled another closer, you would practically merge so he felt the way you trembled and how your breath still wasn’t regulated. In moments like these, he wished he could do more. Somehow make you realise that everything would be okay and you could let it out here without being a burden to him. But he could only hold you like this while reassuring you in every way he could.

“Do you want to go to bed? A tea before?”

You shook your head and let go of him. Your head banged and your eyes burned. With the collar of your shirt you wiped away the trail of tears on your cheeks, the fabric irritating your eyes even more.

“Let’s go to bed then…” He tugged you into his bedroom and opened his drawer to give you something warmer to sleep in.

The room was neater than you expected. How did he find the time to keep everything so tidy if he was barely home? His laundry was folded and stacked on his bed, the school stuff on his desk with his laptop. The only other mess here was his bed with half torn off sheets and different pillows and blankets all over. You smiled at his little chaos before plopping onto it.

“C’mon, wear that.” He tossed one of his sweaters at you, which you somehow caught before it landed in your face. “It’s gonna be getting colder.”

Without questioning him, you just changed into it. The fabric felt soft on your skin, you could tell it was fresh out of the machine. It smelt like fabric softener, the one that only he had because he ran his errands in those 24/7 shops after patrols and those were somehow the only ones that carried this brand. You couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it smelled like so it was just Shouta. One of those things you would always connect with him like cats and pink sweatpants.

You looked over at his desk, an extra picture frame of what you guessed was his new class on it. It was too far away for you to see the individual faces but they seemed like an interesting group already.

Shouta sighed and let himself fall next to you. “Wanna talk about what happened?”

With a deep breath you shook your head and rolled over to face him. Your head still ached, you couldn’t speak if you wanted to. Your throat hurt, the knot completely tying off your words.

He took you into his arms and pulled the blanket over your shoulders. “Want me to talk?”

You nodded into his chest and took another deep breath. This was what you had needed over the week. His presence, his touch, his voice. They were natural tranquilizers for you, reassurances that everything would be okay.

“Nezu gave me class 1-A, can you believe that?” His hands were on the nape of your neck, his thumb caressing behind your ear. “I had them do a fitness test on the first day… I watched them during the entrance exam and I just wasn’t fully convinced… Remember the kid I told you about that just got in through rescue points? And the one that only got in with villain points? Yeah, they’re both in my class and it’s more than obvious that they don’t get along well… They’ve all got interesting quirks, it’s a pretty colourful group and I’m... interested how they’re gonna train them...”

Both of you started getting sleepier with every word he said. He ended up slurring his words as he yawned before silence fell. There was still the jazz playing from somewhere outside, cars passing by occasionally. You hicked a few breaths but Shouta made sure to hold you closer and whisper reassuring words when you did.

“Can I stay here for the weekend?” You croaked right before falling asleep.

“You’re always welcome here, y/n…”

A World Tinted Gold | Mingyu; Chapter One

Kalon; beauty that is more than skin-deep

streamer!y/n x werewolf!mingyu

notes; werewolf au, this is mostly just setting everything up, i’ve got BIG PLANS

word count; 1617

previous | next | masterlist

summary; The only werewolves you encountered were the ones living inside your video games. They were nothing more to you than mythical creatures you often had to kill in order to complete objectives. You had a good thing going with your online gaming setup. Your supporters were kind and usually tipped well during streams. Sure it meant you had to deal with the occasional creep sliding into your DMs, but it was worth it. Playing games online was putting you through college. Little did you know your quiet life was about to be turned upside down at the hands of someone you didn’t think existed outside of the virtual world.

»»————-　♡　————-««

** y/g/n = your gamer name

“Okay I’ve died like 18 times now, I think it’s time for me to give up” you said, looking in the monitor to see you friend, and fellow streamer, chucking softly. “C’mon, you’ve just been unlucky, let’s play a few more rounds” Ciri told you as she ran around completing tasks. You peaked down to take a look at the comments, smiling when you saw a lot of them were encouraging you to stay.

“Thanks everyone in the comments, and fine I’ll hang around for a few more” you said with a bright smile. This was the life of being an online gaming streamer. Smiling for the cameras and trying out different games. A lot of the time it was just trying to keep up with what was popular, right now it seemed to be Among Us. The game itself was fun enough, but you grew bored of it quick.

“Ciri, how is it that you’ve gotten imposter like 3 times in a row now” you groaned, shifting your headset a bit as you got ready for another game. “Life of a Witcher my dear y/g/n” she commented back in a fake accent. The two of you spent the next hour playing, it mostly consisted of Ciri whooping your ass. You made sure to thank new subscribers and people who donated as you went along.

“We had almost 20 thousand people tuned in for that one” Ciri told you after the steam had ended, the two of you having your normal video chat wrap up. You weren’t always the popular stream y/n, you started off making less than perfect videos for a handful of people and grew from there. Your channel grew a lot when you found the other girls. You, Ciri, Mimi, Cat and Maia were a group that the internet liked to call the ‘Gamer Gurlzz’. After the five of you started streaming together, viewership increased a lot. You comment section was often filled with a lot of higkey creepy dudes, but they were also the ones that tipped the best. You could handle some weird comments if it got you through college.

“Wow, that’s quite a big jump from last time” you commented with a low whistle, moving to put your gaming equipment away. “I’ll edit the stream so we can each upload it to the YouTube channel too” Ciri said, typing away one her keyboard. You smiled, it was Ciri’s idea to start the Gamer Gurlzz YouTube channel, a place for the five of you to upload edited streams and other extra content. “My dedicated little Witcher” you commented with a bright grin, earning a glare from the girl on the other side of the camera.

“We should start filming more vlog like content for the channel, people seemed to be really into it. They like the whole ‘getting to know us’ aspect of it I guess” Ciri explained, slipping her glasses on as she peered at the screen. You know that without Ciri both you and the other girls wouldn’t be nearly as popular as you are now. She was the brains of all of this, followed the numbers and helped guide your content. “Hmmm, of course they like that” you murmured, grabbing a make-up wipe and beginning to cleanse your face. You like streaming when it just involved gaming, when you just went by the fake name you created for your channel, y/g/n. You didn’t like the idea of random people on the internet knowing more about who you actually were, you wanted to keep some privacy.

“As long as we are careful about it, we should be okay” Ciri said slowly, understanding why you were worried. “I just don’t want people to start showing up where I shop and stuff. Remember how bad it was when someone leaked Maia’s hometown. She could barely leave her apartment without getting swarmed” you shivered, the memory not one you were eager to replicate. “I promise I’ll edit out or blur anything that could be revealing” Ciri said softly, not wanting to put any of her friends in danger.

“Thanks C, you’re really MVP of this team you know” you told her with a smile. Not only was she the most reliable co-worker you had, she was your best friend, you would trust her with anything. “Yeah yeah y/n, now isn’t it late there, go to bed” she urged you, rolling her eyes as she sat back in her chair. You hummed as you checked the clock, time zones made it difficult to set up streaming times with the other girls. “It’s 2am, I probably should head to bed” you said yawning, collecting your hair up in a ponytail. “Night babe, I’ll have it uploaded by the time you wake up” she said, blowing a kiss at the camera before hanging up. Ciri always had a way of making you feel better, like everything would actually be okay. You really trusted her to make sure that it was.

»»————-　♡　————-««

The next morning you logged on to see that Ciri had uploaded the video and it had gained quite a few views in the short time it had been up. People were talking about it all over social media, which would be good publicity for your solo stream later today. Picking up your phone you quickly made a quick tweet about the stream to remind everyone:

Morning everyone! Thanks for all the support you showed me and @WithcherCiri last night. I have a solo stream later on today starting at 1pm, I’ll be playing some Genshin Impact and chatting with you all!

After pressing the send button, you set your phone down and hopped into the shower. You liked to alter your appearance a little bit for streams, mainly so that without the hair and make-up you could usually walk around without getting noticed. So far it had worked pretty well, which you were grateful for. After getting ready and slipping into something comfy, you slipped your headset on and began checking your equipment. Your tweet from earlier had gained a lot of positive attention, so you were eager to see how this stream would go.

»»————-　♡　————-««

As it got closer to 1pm you began setting up, checking your lighting and getting ready. After pressing start you waited a few seconds before greeting the viewers with a bright smile and a small wave. “Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by today” you said cheerfully, reading some of the comments before you started to play. There were a few usernames that always stood out to you, people who had been supporting you since the very beginning that were still around today. One of the ones that never missed a steam and was always active in the chat was someone who went by @gyu_97. You obviously didn’t know who they were, but you were always grateful for people who had been supporting you for a long time.

“Gyu_97 asked if I prefer cats or dogs? Definitely dogs” you said with a laugh, you couldn’t help but search for their comments sometimes. It was almost like seeing a familiar face in the crowd. “why? Oh well, I don’t know, I’ve always really loved big fluffy dogs. They are so warm and cuddly” you said with a giggle, answering a few other questions before turning to the game. You streamed for longer than you usually did, but you couldn’t help it, the crowd was really engaging today and fun to be around. You didn’t have any creeps commenting about your body or anyone talking trash, it was a really positive stream.

“I should probably go make something to eat” you told the camera as it neared 3pm, your stomach grumbling in protest of the lack of food. “I forgot to eat lunch this morning” you explained with a short laugh. “Don’t worry, the girls and I will be on tomorrow night for our regular weekly stream, so you’ll see me there. Thank you everyone for hanging out with me on this long stream today” you ended the video with a smile and a wave. Once the camera was off you collapsed back into your chair, rubbing your shoulders as you relaxed for the first time in two and a half hours.

“Right… food” you mumbled to yourself, standing up and heading toward the kitchen, you could deal with your equipment later on. A lot of people liked to tell you that being a stream online wasn’t a ‘real job’, but they didn’t know the amount of work that went into it. Each stream took up one to two hours of your time on average, and then there was all the time spent setting up and planning what you would play next. It was a full-time job that often had you working long days and sometimes even longer nights. You really didn’t mind, you enjoyed doing it and were thankful for the opportunity to do so. You just hated when people treated it like it was some easy hobby.

The rest of your night was spent editing your earlier stream so Ciri could upload it to YouTube and planning out the rest of your month. You email was a beat you weren’t quite ready to tackle after a long day; you were just eager to go get a bath and lie down for a while. Ever since you turned gaming into a form of income you never really played for pleasure anymore, it was something you really wished could change, but you could never find the energy to do so. Maybe someday you would rediscover the fun you used to have with playing games, but you didn’t see that happening any time soon.

SCANDAL | 4 |

Words ~ 1k

Masterlist

Chapters ~ Three | Five

A/N : Chapter 4 is here! Hope you guys like the story so far and things are starting to heat up... 👀 If you are enjoying this story please give it a like :)

*All characters / events in this story are completely fictional*

It had been a week since you told Taehyung about the picture and he still talks about it to you, teasing saying that you will be in trouble. What really sparked your anxiety was when you sat in one of the practice rooms with them and Cho-hee came up to you.

“I know your secret” she whispered, your heart stopped, looking at her wide eyed, “what do you mean? I don’t have secrets” laughing nervously. She playfully hit your arm,

“Oh come on you know, your instagram”

At that moment all the colour drained from your face, the secret fan account you were done for, before you could explain yourself, Cho-hee showed you, your personal instagram that was on private. Relief washed over you “I have been wanting to follow you for a while now but I couldn’t find your insta”

“Oh yea...I didn’t think that anyone would want it so I never gave it out” you said unlocking your phone to accept her request. Looking at how many followers she has you was amazed, “you have a lot of followers”

“Yea, a lot of people mainly ask for pictures of the boys...I have done other groups as well but for now I’m here for the upcoming tour, hey! Let’s take a selfie together and post it” Cho-hee held up the camera, quickly sorted out your hair and held up a peace sign while pursing your lips together to blow a kiss.

“That was cute!” Cho-hee squealed, she posted the picture and within a few minutes your phone was blowing up of likes, comments and follow requests, turning the phone on silent, you didn’t see Taehyung hovering over your shoulder.

“y/n..your popular”

“Tae! Oh no I took a photo with-”

“Hmm I know, I saw also next time don’t take a picture in front of the mirrors”

Confused at what he said looking back onto the picture you could see the boys in the back practicing...that's why your phone was blowing up. Curious you decided to read the comments on the picture.

‘OMG! CAN ANYONE SEE THEM IN THE BACK’

‘Who is the other girl?’

‘JIMIN! YOU LOOK SO HOT 😍 ‘

‘The BTS crew feeding us TODAY THANK YOUUUU’

‘I wish I had their job…’

‘Jungkookie looks so hot’

‘ ARE THEY SHIRTLESS?!!!! 😱 ‘

‘WE NEED MORE PICTURES’

‘Post more please’

‘Ew I wanna see BTS more than these two get out of the picture’

The last comment hurt a little bit, but you knew with working with this job people are going to be jealous of you. Now you understood Tae’s words and he was right next time think about where the picture is being taken.

“Hey y/n” looking up you saw Namjoon waving you over, walking over to the boys, “did you want to come to dinner with us?”

Your brain stopped working for a second as you had to process that information...did Namjoon, THE Namjoon ask you to dinner with the rest of BTS.

***

It was weird sitting in a restaurant with BTS, everyone chatted quietly, sat next to Namjoon on one side and the other was Jin, in front of you was Jimin while Jungkook was next to Namjoon and Tae, Hoseok was either side of Jimin.

As you took a sip of your water, Namjoon was asking you about your home country and why did you want to come and work in Korea.

“Well I have always loved music and I have always been interested in other cultures' music, I fell in love with Korean pop because it spoke to me in a way other music didn’t” Namjoon was looking at you with so much interest, it felt like a dream. If you were brave enough you would’ve leaned in and kissed him right there but...you weren't.

“Also Korea is such a beautiful country” you added as Namjoon smiled at you,

“Yea it is, I do love my country, I really want to go to your country y/n”

“Really why?”

“Because I want to see what your music is like”

You laughed as he looked at you with confusion “no my countries music is so cheesy..with wannabe boy bands and girl groups also the solo artists don’t really care about their fans only the money”

Namjoon laughed too “okay...I guess I believe you but please show me some music sometime and I can judge it” you nod in agreement as the food arrives.

Steaming hot bowls of noodles, variety of meats, vegetables and the strange combination that Jungkook was eating that you didn’t want to know. You weren't very skilled with the chopsticks as you kept dropping your food, making the boys giggle at you, in the end you stabbed the piece of food with one of the sticks.

“Hey y/n like this” Hoseok said as he slowly showed you how to hold them, still looking confused Jin leaned over and held your hand, showing you were to place your fingers, that night you laughed so much, it had felt like you’d had been friends with them all your life.

***

AhnJong called you to her office, panic set in as you thought you did something bad, break into a nervous sweat as you stood at her door. Knocking hesitantly walking into the cold room, she sat elegantly at her desk but has a serious face, “Y/n come and take a seat” walking to the chair you sat down waiting to hear the worse “bts are going on tour in a months time and I need to know are all your travel documents up to date?”

‘Yes they should be”

“Good, now there are rules about tour” You mentally groaned, more rules? How many can there be?

“When on tour you have to stick to a strict schedule, no talking to anyone who isn’t a part of the crew, stadium staff. Avoid any fans, press also no leaving your room after the curfew time” you take in all this information mentally hoping that you remember.

“Yes I fully understand” you reply as you are allowed to leave, standing outside the door you sigh a relief, now going back down to the practice rooms.

On your way down you walk into Jimin, “Hi Jimin” you smile as he gives you a wave, “Y/n are you excited about the tour starting soon?”

“Of course and you must be excited right?” you ask as Jimin gives you a small laugh, “Tour is exciting and tiring. Are you heading back?”

“Yea I am”

Both of you just walk back to the practice rooms, part of your brain is mentally screaming at Park Jimin walking with you, you keep your cool as you don’t want to keep looking at him as you steal side glances at him, but that doesn’t go unnoticed, Jimin lets out a small giggle, making your cheeks flush which causes you to freak out more. “Y/n your so cute”

“Huh? What”

“aha..I said you're cute, so Y/n who is your bias?”

“Sorry?” you as in shock did Jimin really ask you this question,

“Who is your bias” his smirk grew on his face as your blush darkened,

“Erm.. I like you all equally” by this point Jimin groaned,

“Y/n come on I won’t tell the others” it was almost like he was flirting with you, in your head you knew this can’t be real and it’s some dream and you will wake up any second. Shaking your head you quickly walked away from Jimin.

***

TODAY IS TOUR DAY

It is currently 2am and you're standing outside of a plane, waiting to board. You soon learn that crew members and the group travel separately, still half asleep and not sure where you should be Cho-hee is full of energy and bouncing around you, “I’m so excited! Y/n are you excited too?”

“Yes Cho-hee I am I really need to sleep”

“Sleep is for losers” she said running off to go talk to another member of the crew, checking your phone, you see a message from Taehyung.

‘y/n why don’t you come fly with us?’

‘Tae I’m not allowed, airport paparazzi will get suspicious’

‘ :( ‘

‘Don’t worry I’m staying in the same hotel’

You finally got to board the plane and now you was chilling in your seat, looking out of the window you felt content with yourself and also super excited to be on tour, you inner fangirl was losing her mind, taking a quick picture you posted it to your snapchat as well as secret insta.

Strangely you felt like you were living a double life with the fan instagram account, which you pray that it never gets leaked that's why you log out of the account whenever you're around the crew or the rest of the boys.

After a few hours you finally landed in C/n, taking your thing you and the crew walked through the airport getting closer to the doors you felt overwhelmed by the amount of people, camera and fans standing waiting for a glance of their idol, before you got off the plane you was instructed by the other crew members to wear a mask, a hat and keep your head down.

When the doors opened it was like you were in a lightning storm the amount of lights going off at once, the fans asking about the boys, one name caught your attention, you looked out to the crowd quickly as you thought you heard your name being called but it was probably nothing.

Flopping down onto the soft hotel bed you felt glad to finally be in a safe space, laying there on the bed in the silence just gathering your thoughts. That was short lived when your phone went off reading the message form Hoseok, ‘Y/n what room are you in? We are going for food, did you want to come? :D ‘ reading Hoseok’s message was like hearing him speak it radiate positivity.

‘I’m in room 1343’

‘Okay I will be up soon!’

Smiling to yourself you decided to check your instagram, going through the feed there were the typical images that were on instagram, and you noticed that your image had gotten the normal attention, you started to read the comments.

‘Beautiful picture’

‘Are you excited for the comebacks this year?’

‘Living your best life xx’

‘Are you in C/n?’

‘Was you at the same airport as BTS?’

‘Are you a part of the BTS crew?’

The last two comments worried you as you never showed your face on this instagram or what you looked like in general but you decided to answer the comments and leave it how it was, that until one comment sent you through the roof.

‘Are you a sasaeng?’

Insomnia

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Up late again, are we?"

I nearly jump out of my skin at the sudden unexpected voice. Never a dull day in this house.

"CHRIST, Annabelle, you have GOT to stop doing that!" I scold the silhouette against my dark bedroom window, clutching my blankets in tight balled fists, heart pounding. I'd bolted upright from where I'd been comfortably laying down in my bed, a position I had held for the past several hours. I held my phone close to my chest, where it had once hung loosely in my hands, bright screen angled down to my face. Annabelle gave a low, amused chuckle, and folded her arms, leaning on the windowsil.

"Mm. Don't you have an early shift tomorrow?" She asked coyly, ignoring my protests. My heart finally steadying itself, I rub my eyes, trying to adjust them to the dark of my bedroom. She was right- I had to go in at 8 tomorrow- or today, rather, as it was already just past 2am.

"Don't YOU have something to do other than sneak into my room at night!?" I huff, only really half annoyed at her. This wasn't the first time she seemed to pop up out of nowhere. "Seriously, how did you even get IN here?"

I saw her dark outline shrug. "Oh, you know. Dark apartment, bright screen, quiet footsteps. I can just slip right in, and most of the time, you're too preoccupied to notice."

Fair enough. How she got into my apartment in the first place I suppose ill never know, but I guess a girl's gotta have her secrets. I sigh.

"Whatever. Just. Keep the spiders out of here right now."

"Awe, why?" She prods, adding just enough whine to her tone to make her seem a little bit genuinely disappointed. I know her better than that, though, and she knows that she can't play me that easy. She probably already is playing me, though, in some roundabout way. There was something about the web- their girls always knew how to play the long game, and I was always just along for the ride.

"You don't even know they're there! Too dark to see, and ignorance is bliss, is it not?"

I nervously look around in the darkness, trying to scout any sign of hairy legs or scuttling movement. "I think it's the not knowing that's the worst part, honestly."

"If you insist. Fine, I'll leave your room spider-free. For now."

I could almost hear her wink. I let myself relax a little- as much as one can around someone notorious for their manipulation skills. She'd ways been kind to me, though, and even if at the beginning id been extra-cautious about sniffing out ulterior motives, her presence had become sort of a routine for me. I'd let my guard down. I was playing a dangerous game, and I knew that, and part of me was just waiting for the day she decided she'd gotten what she needed from me and betrayed me. Until then, though, she was just too damn charming.

"Thanks. I guess." I purse my lips, well aware that not setting a horde of spiders loose in someone's bedroom was the bare minimum requirement for politeness. Annabelle laughed again.

"You're funny. So, what's keeping you up, then?" She moves to sit down at the edge of my bed, tucking her retro skirt under her legs as she set her slender form on the mattress. Her weight was barely enough to shift the bed at all. I scoot away, either to give her room to sit, or to put a little more space between her and I. I could not confidently tell you which one. I set my phone down on my pillow and crossed my legs.

"Dunno. Can't sleep, don't want to? Something like that." I tuck my legs up, resting my chin on my knees. "I guess I probably could, but I've been taking a lot of benadryl lately, and it'll make me lag in the morning."

"Oh, well, that's nothing one of your fancy energy drinks can't fix, no?"

"I guess not. I mean, ill be tired no matter what, and a monster will always get me going, but I sorta have to get out of bed in the first place to drink one."

"And that's the hardest part then, isn't it."

"Mm."

This is far too mundane for her to want to really talk about. I wonder why she's really here.

"Guess you have a choice to make, then. Wait 'till you get tired naturally, which could take ages, knowing you- or make yourself sleep and face the consequences in the morning."

I flop back down onto my mountain of pillows, and grumble. "I'm shit at decisions. No matter how simple."

Annabelle laughed again, sweet and genuine and low in her throat. I smile a little. "It's true. You can never make up your mind, can you? Always have to stop and think."

"Mm," I agree. "If you asked me who I would save if my mom and my best friend were hanging off the edge of a cliff, I think I'd just fucking throw myself off."

Another laugh from my visitor. I feel proud of myself for amusing her, a reminder of my place in nearly every friend group I've ever been in as 'the funny one' since as long as I can remember. It feels good to make people laugh.

"So hard on yourself today." She poses the thought in a way that's more fond and inquisitive than accusatory. "Why?"

I crack my knuckles one at a time absentmindedly. "Well, I'm still switching over my medication, so I've felt pretty weird all day. Spacey. More dissociative than usual."

"Oh?"

"Mm. Mirrors have been especially unkind to me today." I continue. "The caffeine probably didn't help either. It's been all spiraling thoughts and impulse ideas and such since I woke up, really."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. I was feeling fine last week though. Parents want me to wait until I'm all switched over before asking to go back on my 20-dose in the morning, but I think I've already decided that's what I wanna do."

I glance over at her sharp brown eyes, that look almost burgundy in just the right light. They're quite freaky, really. Now that my vision has adjusted to the dark, I see her intently looking down at me, as if hung on every word I say.

"Also," I start, realizing how long I've gone on for. "You are FAR too good at making me talk."

"Hah," she smiles. "Maybe consider: you just talk a lot?"

"True. Never been good at shutting up."

"Or maybe I just like listening! Who's to say?" She gives a coy shrug. I squint at her, the traces of a grin tugging at my lips.

"Who's to say." I repeat with a sort of finality, finding myself enamored with the moment. The moment of pause between her next speaking point seems to stretch on for hours before she finally makes the call to break the silence.

"You know," she starts, with that voice of hers that I could never seem to tune out. "I've not really minded our chats lately, really! You're very funny."

"First of all, I know," I accept the compliment. "Second of all, you minded before?"

I'm not exactly hurt by the revelation, per se, more surprised that she's even acknowledged a change in her out attitude out loud. If her attitude has changed at all. I'm not stupid- I know what the web does. I know I can never truly, wholly believe anything she says. But I can choose to try, if just for now.

"Sure," she shrugs. "Most of the time, when I talk to people- especially any of you assistants, good lord- it's busywork. Chores to do, to check off the list. But lately, I've found myself looking forward to our visits. Isn't that strange?"

Always turning things into a question for me to answer. Always trying to get something more out of me. Information, my thoughts. She needs to know how I feel. What I'm feeling now, how I felt earlier, how I'll feel later, how I feel about her. I'm a puzzle piece. I'm a pawn in a big, web-infested game of chess, but my heart still skips a beat when she tells me she actually sort of likes spending time with me, even if she is lying. She probably is.

I decide not to give her the satisfaction of telling her how I feel with this one.

"Personally, I think I'd look forward to them a lot more if you didn't scare the absolute shit out of me every fuckin' time."

She laughs again. "Oh, come on, now. I have to do something to keep in interesting, right? Have to keep you on your toes somehow. If you expect me, I become SIGNIFIFANTLY less scary."

That was true enough. I really didn't mind the occasional jumpscare, to be honest. It did keep things interesting as she said.

"Whatever." I roll my eyes in mock annoyance. She stands up, straightens out her skirt, and folds her arms neatly behind her back.

"Well, I suppose i should get going, then. Don't want to keep you up too long." She smiles.

"What, that's it for tonight? Where's the pizazz, the charm, that signature web flare?"

Annabelle chuckles. "Afraid so, darling. And you know very well that the web works more in subtlety than any other power." She strolls lazily over to the side of the bed. I watch her carefully with my hands folded behind my head.

"Wouldn't exactly call giant fucked up spiders all that subtle."

"Everyone's a critic, I suppose. But a literal fly on the wall seems a little too obvious, no?"

"Touche."

She huffs a final little laugh, and chances a carefully manicured hand to the side of my head, brushing a bit of hair off of my face. I hold completely and utterly still, biting down hard on my cheek. As she pulls away with an elegantly devious smile across her face, a few silver wisps of cobweb trail behind, woven messily into my curls at her touch. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, and annabelle rests her hands daintily in front of her.

"Don't get too comfortable, love. Lest you forget we feed on fear?"

I swallow hard, and cannot find a response in time. Annabelle has already started out the door.

"You really should sleep, you know. Big day tomorrow."

This snaps me out of my frozen state. "Wait, what?" I call after her, the sound of her heels clicking through my apartment getting fainter as she leaves. I just KNOW she's smiling like the devious bastard she is. "What's tomorrow?? It's just Wednesday???"

The door clicks open, and then shut. She's gone.

"You're a real cryptic bitch sometimes!" I yell after her in vain, rolling over onto my side. I bring a hand to my forehead and grasp at the loose tendrils of web, combing them out of my hair and flicking them aside. I close my eyes, and soon enough, I am fast asleep.

stilinski with a stranger

In which the reader is Stiles’ twin and goes out for a night of fun with a complete stranger... or so she thought.

Warnings: Mention of sex and drinking also never drink and drive because that isn’t cool, minor cursing I guess?

Author’s Note: Reader is 18 and this would take place around the time of the deadpool.

enjoy :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{hands tracing bone, hearts beating against ribs, lips lingering on skin}

You sigh in content as you pull into your driveway, tipsiness not quite worn off yet and although you knew you shouldn't be driving you didn't want to burden Lydia by picking you up.

You had earned a night out with all the supernatural shit that's been going on. Just You, The bar on the outskirts of town that didn't card and a stranger.

Oh that special stranger.

You stumble in the door kicking off you heels, it was at least 2am and your Dad was off working your brother Stiles was at…

"Ahem"

Shit

....pack night or so you thought.

Looks like it somehow got moved to your house because when you looked up from your shoes you were met with The Pack sprawled across every piece of furniture and floor space your living room had to offer. The movie playing in the background long forgotten as you were met with all their eyes filled with emotions ranging from complete anger to utter drowsiness and confusion.

Stiles was obviously the fore mentioned.

He stood at the front of the room; arms crossed, slightly pacing, neck vein popping out- the whole angered Stilinski TM package. You had to admit his resemblance to your father was uncanny in that moment.

"Where the hell have you been?!"

You panicked "Uh I went for a run."

"In heels?" Mason shot a quizzical look at you and your heels lying on the ground.

"Yeah Y/N cut the bullshit" Stiles spits

Scott steps in, "What Stiles means to say is we were really worried about you."

You appreciated his attempt to diffuse the situation even through you could tell he was a bit upset as well.

"We all tried calling you." Kira added with a sympathetic smile.

"My phone died." you mutter as the room gets fuzzier.

Stiles scoffs and prepares to lecture you in front of everyone.

"I'm not doing this right now" You stumble to the stairs. "imma shower" you mutter.

…

"Did you guys catch that scent?" Liam questions still sniffing.

"What alcohol? She was stumbling like it was her first time on land." Mason says as Kira shoots him a look.

"No" Malia chimes in, "She smelled like sex."

"Malia!" Scott exclaims at her bluntness as Stiles tries not to choke on his spit.

"WHAT?!" He sputters almost tripping over himself to get to the stairs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stood under the falling water

hot hands tracing your body, needy breaths tickling your collar bones---

You were rudely interrupted by your memory by a loud knocking on the bathroom door.

"I'll be out in a minute!" you shout, sobered up a bit by the shower.

You rinse the rest of the soap off before wrapping yourself in a towel and padding over the door. You're greeted by a distressed Stiles, quizzical Malia, and wide eyed Scott.

"Yes?" you question with a quirked eyebrow and dripping hair.

Stiles huffs, taking in a deep breath before beginning his rant.

"First of all you do realize that you're surrounded by werewolves with a supernatural sense of smell that can tell when you've stumbled home from a drunken sex-capade right"

shit you think eyes widening

"Yeah that's right we know, and I'm not done yet missy." you roll your eyes at the nickname as your hair drips on the carpet.

"No text, No call, No way of knowing if you've been kidnapped by a werewolf mafia or something equally as badass but lethal." He takes another breath before continuing. "The only reason we didn't send a search party after you is because Lydia covered for you."

You made a mental note to thank her later.

"We worry about you Y/N" Scott adds.

"Especially when you get tipsy and hook up with a mystery dude" Malia pushes past you into the bathroom attached to your room and sniffs the shirt you were wearing earlier. "I mean seriously who is that I feel like I've smelled it before."

You tore the shirt from her hands and throw it back on the floor.

"Don't worry about it, we were safe and it was a one time thing."

"Oh my God" Stiles sits on your bed with his head in his hands, "My baby sister is having one night stands!" he whines.

"Dude, you're older than me by 11 minutes. And don’t act so innocent! I had to buy soundproof headphones when you and Malia started dating!" you say exasperated.

Malia Shrugged and Stiles was at a loss for words, Scott looked liked jumping out of the window was a more appealing option rather than staying in this conversation.

"Technically Pack nights not over" Scott points out either as a change of subject or an attempt to still make you feel welcome.

"Yeah the movie is still playing if you want to join" Malia adds.

"Thanks guys" you smile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You plop in the middle of mason and Lydia on the couch after getting dressed, ignoring the weird looks Liam was giving you.

They were halfway through Kingsman: The Secret Service, just as you were settling in your recently charged phone buzzed with a text from Lydia.

You jokingly sideye her before opening the message.

Lyds <3: So how was it ;)

You let how a small laugh, lydia had been the one to recommend the bar to you.

- unbelievably good, might even say one of the best :o

Lyds <3: So do I get to know who the mystery man is?

- we didn't exactly do a lot of talking lmao

Lydia sighs in defeat and you wiggle your eyebrows at her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Stiles was at the station helping your Dad with a case and you decided to stop by with pizza as a sort of apology for worrying your brother. You pick up Malia on the way and walk into the station together laughing at a question Malia asked.

Stiles was hunched over a stack of papers in the office and your Dad was speaking to a deputy who's back was to you. Malia goes to join Stiles and Sheriff finally spots you and the stack of pizza.

"Well if it isn't my favorite child." he beams.

"HEY! I heard that! Stiles shouts from the other room.

"Uh I meant favorite daughter." he recovers with a wink your way.

"d-daughter?" the man from earlier turns around

{ fingers gripping hips, biting shoulders, the mattress groaning beneath you }

You almost dropped the pizza

"Parrish, didn't I mention I had a daughter?" Sheriff shoots him a quizzical look.

"Uh-um I uh I don't recall sir, no sir"

Malia looks up from the papers taking a deep whiff in your direction, she continues to sniff until her eyes land on the deputy in front of you.

"oh my god"

"what" stiles says paying half attention

"OH MY GOD" Malia laughs

"Babe what, what's going on"

Malia ignores him and opens her phone to the group chat labeled "Bad Ass Babes Club"

Malia: Y/N you didn’t tell us you were under arrest last night ;)

Kira: uh WHAT?

Lydia: omg spill what happened

Y/N: …

Yay! Back at it again. I got lot of likes the last parts recently and it motivated me to really try to pick this up again. I’m switching up the idea for this but it’s quite similar to my original plan. It’s just a little more exciting for me to write. I don’t think it’s a good as the others but I still like it. Sorry for any typos and please enjoy!

WC: 1881

I.M. X Reader

Hacker AU / Heist AU

Parts I and II can be found on the master list in my bio.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Outside people are making their way around Seoul rushing to whatever destination they are heading to. It’s near the end of spring so people are dressed is light coats and and brighter colors to reflect the season. The sun is out in full force today but It feels like it didn’t quite hit the earth yet seeing how chilly and windy it is today.

With they weather being so nice, from the recent rainstorms, I felt like it was the perfect time for me to get out of the house with my friends. Hoping it would take my mind off the whole Changkyun ordeal. We had planned to spend the whole day out, shopping and eating, so that we wouldn’t get caught up watching dramas inside like we usually do. It was 12:30 pm and were sat in the little cafe that Soobin worked in, sipping on lattes and eating some sandwiches. It was very bohemian inspired with mismatched furniture and different patterns and loose hanging plants scattered all over the place. Somehow, it still flowed together nicely and gave off a very homey feel. Soobin was surprised to see us when we walked through the door earlier. We had promised to meet up after her shift but Sojung and I were complaining in the group chat about how hungry and we knew we could get some free food and drinks out of Soobin.

Halfway through brunch, that was turning into more of a lunch at this point, Sojung asked me about Changkyun. I tried to keep it light and casually but I was tired of keeping my thoughts in my head. I need someone to talk to about the secret calls and disappearing. I couldn't help but tell her anything and everything. Every little detail came spilling out of my mouth. After every question I asked her, hoping she’d tell me that I am over reacting, a little voice in my head answered for me. ‘No, it’s not normal. Yes, there is something wrong.’ I just couldn’t help but feel so helpless. After spilling my guts to her, I tried to pass it off as if it wasn't bothering me but she had no intentions of letting it go. She knew there was something deeper going on.

"All that and you haven't said a word to him?" Sojung asked me. I shook my head while I took a sip of my coffee.

"Nope. I just don't know where he is going and I don't want to be that type of girlfriend, you know?" I placed the cup down on the table.

She looked at me with wide eyes, completely surprised. I groaned out running my hands through my hair before letting my head hit the table. It was almost like I could hear what she was going to say to me, mainly because I've already been telling myself the same thing. 'You need to say something! You can't just let him walk all over you. If something is bothering you in your relationship, then you should speak up.' It wasn't long before our other friend joined us at the table. Soobin came over with a small tray with some pastries on it and more coffee.

"Alright," She placed the tray on the table and took a seat with us. "I'm finally off. I hate morning shifts with a passion but I make the most in tips. Also, if you too keep on coming here for free food, My boss is going to realize. Anyway, what did I miss?" I was going to tell her nothing but,

"Changkyun is cheating on Y/N!"

"He’s what?!"

"He is not!" I retort back, lifting my head looking at the two of them. Soobin looked at me with a similar surprised look that Sojung had earlier. "He's not," I say, looking at Sojung challenging her. She rolls her eyes and goes to take another sip from her own mug. "He would never. You know he's not that type of guy. He's just acting weird." I mumble. I didn't want to believe that Changkyun could possibly cheat on me. But no matter how much I tried my mind always ended up on that explanation for him constantly leaving our apartment in the middle of the night.

"Sure." Sojung placed her cup on the table. She pursed her lips. "Soobin," She turns to her, her body language show that she didn’t want me to input. "If Hyunjung was getting weird phone calls in the middle of the night and then after getting these calls, she jumped out of bed at 2am in the morning and just left the house, not waking you up to even tell you where she was going, then doesn't come home until after work, what would you think she was up to, huh?" The whole time while Sojung talked I wanted to interrupt but she wasn't embellishing the truth. That was everything that I was going through for the past three weeks.

"Well, I'd ..." She stopped talking, taking the moment to took over at me with sad eyes. " Oh honey," She started.

"Not you too!" I leaned back in my chair, my eyes meeting the ceiling.

"Y/N, it sounds like he's doing something he doesn't want to you know about. What else could it be?" She sounded so concerned for me but I didn't want to be pitied. I looked back at the two of them, fixing my posture in the chair.

"I don't know what it could be but I can't just come out and accuse him of something like that. I mean, what if he isn't. You wouldn't be happy if Hyunjung just came out and called you a cheater, right?"

"Yeah, but Soobin isn't giving Hyunjung a reason to worry, unlike Changkyun." Sojung budded in making another point that I couldn't refute. All I could do was look at her hoping she stop being so right about this.

"Have you even asked him about all of this?" From my expression, Soobin could tell what the answer was. Her mouth dropped open. I could understand the shock from my friends. It really wasn't like me to not say something when I was bothered. But this had to do with Changkyun. I'm always so afraid to lose him since we graduated. I always felt like we weren't supposed to make it past that last year of high school. All of it was borrowed time and eventually the two of us were going to be forced to separate ways. It feels inevitable but I just don't want it to be now. Not while I'm still so in love with him.

"Okay, I'll ask him about it tonight when he comes home. Until then can we please drop it, I came out with my friends to get away from all of that."

"You're really going to talk to him?" Soobin asked. Sojung was watching me intently. I nodded my head. I knew I really wasn't but I just wanted to let it go and enjoy the rest of my day. Soobin seemed to accept my answer but Sojung was still silent. We stared at each other until she finally broke.

"Fine. We'll drop it but I want an update after you do."

"Yes, mom." It was my turn to roll my eyes and Soobin giggled. From there, we ate the rest of our food and decided to roam around Hongdae seeing if there was place to do some shopping. we eventually came across this quaint boutique. We spent the afternoon trying outfits for the next time we would go out together. it'd be a nightclub so we wanted to look as good as possible. I ended up with a couple nice things, a few sweaters, t-shirts, a pair of jeans, and a nice party dress. They were a out of season but they were all on the clearance rack so I didn't break the bank. After all the shopping, we decided to grab something else to eat before parting way. Sojung was the first to go, leaving Soobin and I walking towards the train station.

"Don't punk out okay. Just ask him where's he's been going and let him know that it bothers you a lot." I nodded leaning in and giving her a hug.

"Tell Hyunjung I said hi okay. Love you." I said, releasing her from the hug.

"I love you too. Don't forget" She said pointing at me as she made her way to the steps of the station.

'"I won't, now go before you miss your train." I waved before she disappeared down the steps. It wasn't much a walk home from there. But I dreaded getting home more than anything. I stopped at the convenience store to waste time. Looking through the aisles picking up some chips, candy and even a bottle of soju.

An aisle over, I notice a man with wild brown picking out some bags of chips. I can't help but smile at his hairstyle thinking that he might have jumped out of bed and came to the convenience store. Knocking myself out my daydream, I pick up another bottle of soju and make my way to the counter.

"Is this all?" the cashier asks. I nodded as he starts to bag up my items. While he does that, I notice somebody beside me. It's the same man with wild hair. I take in his face quickly, the small cross tattoo by his eye and his overall outfit allude to the hair being more of a style choice than a circumstance. "That'll be ₩20,000." Immediately, I start rummaging through my bag. Each moment becoming more frantic because I can't find my wallet.

"I got it. I'll pay for both of them together.” He says, pushing his items closer to the cashier.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t put a dent in my pocket.” Pulling out a card from his wallet and holding it up for the cashier to see. He turned to me with a toothy grin and I smiled back politely. After paying for both his and my stuff, he handing me my bag.

"Thank you, that was really kind of you."

"No problem." He said simply and we both walked out of the store. "Welp, good night." He said making a small salute with his hands before walking the way I just came from.

"Good night." I say back to him and turn to walk in the opposite way. I let out a sigh when I deem we are far enough from each other. I didn’t want to have to explain to him why just because he brought my snacks, I didn’t owe him my phone number or my time, especially when I didn’t ask him to pay for it in the first place. But the fact that had just left me to go on my merry way made me smile. He really just wanted to be nice to someone.

The whole interaction almost made me forget what I had promised my friends earlier. It wasn't until I was a block away from my apartment complex that I could see the light on from the 5th apartment on the third floor. Changkyun was already home.

Nightmares - Part 2

Summary: After that night in the hotel things are different and the reader isn’t sure how to feel about Alex. When something happens at Hercules party things get even more complicated.

Pairing: Alexander Hamilton x reader

Time period: modern

Word count: 2,675

Warnings: fear of water/drowning?

A/N: You can find Part 1 here.

I actually wanted to write a second part to “The struggles of being famous” and I did, but I hated it and I want to write a new one. But this idea just popped up in my head at 2am (thanks for that brain) and I couldn’t ignore it, so here it is. Maybe there’s gonna be a third part. Anyways, I hope you like it. Please tell me if you find any mistakes so I can fix them. Enjoy!

---

The last weeks had been odd. Since the trip to Washington things between you and Alexander were different. You felt like you understood him better now in some ways. And since you now knew a whole different side of him, you found it easier to hold yourself back when he annoyed you. But that feeling quickly disappeared when he started to behave weird. Sometimes he was actually really nice, like that one time he let you copy his homework when you forgot to do it. But sometimes he seemed even more annoying than before, teasing and provoking you every time he got the chance. You just didn‘t understand his weird mood swings. So you mostly tried not to spend much time with him.

But nonetheless you thought about him a lot. That night in the hotel now almost seemed like a dream and sometimes you wondered if it actually had happened. You hadn‘t told anybody about it, not even Angelica. You didn‘t want her to interpret anything into this. Besides, you were still kinda confused and thought a lot about that night even though you didn’t want to.

You sighed, trying to focus on your textbook again. Mr. Washington had announced that there would be a test next week so you had decided to spend some time at the library to be prepared.

“There you are! What are you doing at the library?” A familiar voice caught your attention and you turned your head to find Alexander plopping down next to you on a chair.

“Learning.” you answered, gaze wandering back to your textbook. You didn’t really want to talk to him now. Especially since you hadn’t figured out now in which mood he was yet.

“I can see that. But would you be so kind to stop that for a minute?”

You looked up, raising an eyebrow.

“Why? You got important news or what?”

He grinned, reaching for your book and closing it, ignoring your protests.

“Since I have your full attention now, yes there are news. Herc is throwing a party this Friday and he asked me to invite you. Well, you and the sisters, but you weren’t with them and Angelica told me you’d probably be here.”

“A party?” you asked, furrowing your brows. “I don’t know… It’s nice that he invites me, but tell him I’m not sure yet.”

He expression changed immediately. He seemed almost disappointed.

“But you have to come!”

You chuckled. “Since when do you tell me what to do Hamilton?”

He sighed. “No one can tell you what to do because you’re too stubborn.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” you said with a grin, taking your book back, trying to find the right page again.

“Come on, please Y/N. You don’t have to stay long. Just… show up.”

You groaned.

“Why is that so important to you?”

He shrugged. “Don’t know. Maybe I’m just trying to be nice and improve your social life by helping you to get to know new people.”

You huffed. “Of course you just want to help. And my social life is perfectly fine by the way.”

With that you turned to full attention to the book, demonstratively turning away from him.

“All right. See you on Friday then.” he said grinning, finally leaving you alone.

After thinking about your encounter with Alexander for a while you eventually decided not to go to the party. You didn’t like parties that much and spending your Friday evening at home sounded much better to you. Unfortunately that plan was quickly destroyed by Angelica. Since the sisters were also invited she had decided to drag you along, whether you wanted or not. But she promised you that you could go home whenever you wanted. In the end you agreed.

The week went by fast, almost too fast for you liking. Angelica picked you up since she agreed to be the driver for tonight.

When you arrived at Hercules home you couldn’t help but feel impressed. It was a huge house with a big garden and there where colorful lights flashing everywhere. Loud music sounded from the back of the house and noticing the many people around the house you wondered if Hercules had invited the whole school.

Angelica immediately grabbed your hand and guided you through the house. A wide kitchen led to a terrace and a huge garden. You didn’t know Hercules lived in such a big house.

Most of the guests were outside. Angelica made her way trough the crowd, greeting a few people here and there.

Suddenly you noticed the huge swimming pool in the middle of the garden, that had been concealed behind the people previously and you froze. Angelica noticed your change in mood and squeezed your hand reassuringly.

“Don’t worry. We won’t go anywhere near the water.”

You nodded mechanically. “It’s fine. It’s just… somebody could have told me sooner.”

Angelica dragged you to the other side of the garden and went to get some chairs. You and the sisters made yourselves comfortable and after a while you were able to relax and really enjoyed yourself.

“What about some drinks?” Peggy asked and you all agreed. You accompanied her back to the house and to the kitchen. You grabbed two plastic cups and poured in some juice for you and Angelica.

“You made it.”

You looked up startled to find Alexander at the other side of the counter, smirking at you.

“Obviously.”, you stated, putting to bottle away. You carefully examined his face. Something seemed odd. But you couldn’t really tell what it was.

“I thought you didn’t want to come.”

Something in his voice had changed. He tried to sound normal, but you thought you heard an underlaying anger. Your mood dropped. “Well, I’m here now.”, you answered nonchalantly.

“Good.”

“Yeah.”

Now you felt angry too. Why was he so mean? He wanted you to come tonight. You took a deep breath and decided to leave, before this ended in a fight.

Without another word you grabbed the drinks and left. You chatted a while with the sisters but you couldn’t stop thinking about what just happened. You couldn’t help but feel angry now. He had insisted that you had to come and now you were here and it seemed like he didn’t want you here. Your gaze wandered over the crowd, searching for Alexander. You found him with Hercules and a few other guys near the pool, flirting with a girl. You suppressed a huff. How typical for him.

The sisters didn’t notice your anger and you did your best to ignore it. You were here to have a good time and you shouldn’t let him ruin that.

Shortly after midnight you got tired and told the sisters that you would leave. You stood up to search for Hercules. Since he was the host of the party you should say goodbye to him too and you also wanted to thank him for inviting you.

It didn’t took you long to find him, he was standing in a small group next to the pool. To your displease Alexander was also there. But what stressed you more was how close they stood to the water. You took a deep breath and tried to calm yourself down. Everything was fine. You would just say goodbye and leave. That’s it.

When you approached the guys they were talking about some games they wanted to play later. You ignored Alexander completely, turning directly to Hercules.

“I’m gonna leave now, just wanted to say goodbye. Thanks for inviting me.”

“Of course Y/N. Hope you liked it.” Hercules said, smiling.

“You’re Y/N?”, a different voice suddenly asked and you turned around to a guy you didn’t know. You had seen him with Alexander a few times so they were probably friends, but you didn’t know his name.

“Yes.” you answered, slightly confused. What did he want from you?

“Well, if that’s the case...”

He didn’t finish the sentence. Instead an almost devilish grin appeared on his face and suddenly he pushed you back. You could hear Alex yell something but in the next moment everything went quiet when you hit the water. For a second you couldn’t even realize what happened. You couldn’t hear a sound, everything around you was blurry. But when your lungs cried out for air there was nothing. You swallowed water and desperately moved, trying to get back to the surface but you couldn’t tell where up and down was. Panic was rushing through you as you searched for the ground, just anything to get back your orientation. You felt your hands shaking and the pain in your chest was getting worse. Why was no one helping you? Suddenly you felt an arm around your waist, pulling you with it and back to the surface. You gasped for air and were immediately hit by a coughing fit, your lungs contracting painfully. Your hands found the persons shoulders and you put your arms around them, clinging to them as if your life depended on it.

When you looked up, you stared into Alexanders brown eyes. You could see the shock on his face and also the worry in his eyes as he carefully moved you both back to the edge of the pool.

“Are you okay?”, he asked, examining your face. You just nodded, still coughing from the water you had swallowed. He lifted you up so you could sit on the edge of the pool before he climbed out.

He reached out a hand for you and pulled you up, dragging you with him.

“Let’s get you out of here.” he muttered.

You stumbled after him, still too shocked to protest. You felt weirdly numb. Everything had happened so fast.

Alex led you back to the house, through the kitchen, up to the first floor to an empty room, probably a guest bedroom. Just like you, he was soaking wet, his hair messy and his clothes were dripping. He closed the door behind you and let go of your hand to open the closet.

You didn’t know what to say. Your hands started shaking again and your heart was still hammering in your chest. Tears were forming in your eyes but you quickly blinked them away. You didn’t want to cry in front of him.

Alex grabbed a towel from the closet and came back to you, carefully laying it around your shoulders. He didn’t say anything, he was just looking at you carefully, worried, as if he was trying to figure out if you’re really okay. You tried not to look away, forcing a weak smile on your lips. But you couldn’t hide your shaking hands and when you felt the tears in your eyes again you knew you had lost.

He pulled you into a hug, one hand drawing soft circles onto your back, the other one carefully striking your hair.

“It’s okay. You’re safe now. Everything's fine.”

You tried to take deep breaths, listening to his soothing voice. He held you like this for a while, until you weren’t shaking anymore and your heart was beating at a normal rate again. Somehow Alex had a really comforting effect on you. Just like he had that night in the hotel. Only now you were way closer. Your body was pressed against his, your cheek resting on his chest. You felt your panic slowly subside and closed your eyes for a second. Your mind was finally calming down and you noticed that both of you were still wet, clothes dripping.

“We’re ruining Hercules carpet.” you mumbled. He chuckled and you felt his chest vibrating under your cheek for a moment before he let go of you and took a step back.

“Don’t worry about that. But we should get some new clothes before we catch a cold.”

You nodded, watching him as he started searching for something to wear in the closet. He handed you a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants and pulled out new clothes for himself too.

“I’m gonna change next door.”

He left and you stood there for a moment, unable to move. Now that the shock was over you started to think about what had happened. Who was the guy that had pushed you? Why did he do that? Why did he ask for your name first? And why had Alex been the first one to react? Other people had been standing closer to the pool.

You changed clothes and sat down on the bed, waiting for Alex to come back. A few minutes later you heard a soft knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

Alex entered with fresh clothes, a towel on his head, hair still dump.

He crossed the room and sat down next to you.

“I told Herc you’re okay. He’ll take care of this later. And he’s looking for Angelica so she can get you home.”

You nodded. Getting out of here and back home was really what you needed right now.

“Thank you Alex.” you said quietly, eyes on the floor before you. “You saved me.”

“No need to thank me. Of course I did. I can’t just let your drown, right?”

You chuckled, punching his arm lightly. “No you can’t.”

It was quiet for a while and as you looked up you found a small grin on his face.

“What’s so funny?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.

“That’s the first time you called me that.”

“What?”

“Alex.” he explained, his grin only widening. “I mean normally you call me just Hamilton, or idiot or dumbass or -”

“Alright enough! Don’t read too much into it.”, you grumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He laughed at that.

“I’m gonna mark the day at my calender.” he continued teasing. You sighed, rolling your eyes. But he was right. You had never called him by his nickname before. But you also had never had a moment like this with him before. Of course he had helped you that night with your nightmare but this was different than just talking. It felt different. And you were glad he was here, with you. But if he worried this much about you didn’t that mean he liked you? And if he did why was he always so mean?

“Why were you behaving so odd lately?”

The question was out of your mouth before you could stop it or even think probably about it.

“What do you mean?” he asked, seeming confused.

“In the last weeks you constantly switched between being nice to me and being a total idiot. I don’t get it. An hour ago I thought you were mad at me when we met in the kitchen and now you’re sitting here with me, making jokes. I just… I don’t understand. Did I do anything?”

Now he was the one staring at the floor. He was quiet for a moment and you could tell that he was hesitating.

“I wasn’t mad at you earlier.” he suddenly said, turning to look at you again. “I’m sorry if you thought that. I’m just...”

He sighed, leaving the sentence unfinished. You wondered why he was struggling so much to tell you. Alexander wasn’t someone who was afraid to speak his mind.

“You can tell me Alex.”, you said and his gaze flickered back to your face. He seemed nervous, looking at you unsure. You had never seen him this way.

“Alright.” He let out a breath and ran a hand through his hair.

“The truth is I think-”

He was cut off when the door burst open and a really worried looking Angelica entered the room.

“Are you okay? Herc told me what happened. What kind of person just randomly pushes people into pools?! I’m getting you home!” She grabbed your hand and pulled you with her.

Alex cleared his throat. “Yeah, that’s a good idea. See you two on Monday then.”

With that he left the room, almost running out. You wondered what he would have told you if Angelica only had come a minute later.

#dontbeavictor - 1.3k, single chapter author(s): spookyfoot fandom(s): Yuri!!! on Ice pairing(s): Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov

“Katsuki, you recently moved to Russia to train with your coach Victor Nikiforov,” Yuuri’s not sure why reporters need to tell him things that he already knows, but he’d rather not deal with Minako yelling at him over Skype so he just nods, and the reporter—Shana?—continues, “what do you like the most about training at Yubileyny?”

“Well the facilities are amazing…” Yuuri switches to autopilot and recites the list of training resources that Victor had galloped through after the Grand Prix Finals—when he mistakenly thought that Yuuri needed any incentive to move to Russia other than Victor himself.

He must answer the question well enough because she just nods along to some beat that Yuuri can’t hear. “What’s your least favorite thing about training in Russia?”

The answer bursts out of him before he has any time to consider a diplomatic alternative, “Victor’s driving.”

(Things escalate from there.)

“Don’t fall asleep on me.” Kageyama muttered as Hinata curled into his side, awkward with the armrest between them. Hinata nuzzled his face into Kageyama’s neck and hummed quietly. “Stop.” He said, firmer. Hinata didn’t have to look to know that he was scowling.

“Get up, sleepyhead,” Izuku tries to roll out of bed to brush his teeth, but is suddenly stopped by the tightening of Katsuki’s arms. “Hey, you. We gotta go.”

Katsuki’s reply is a press of his face into his back and a kiss on the bare skin. It makes Izuku shiver. “No,” he pulls him back into the bed and wraps even his legs around him. “Stay.”

Obito stares at the towering oak in front of him, not quite able to tear his eyes away from it. There's nothing outwardly strange about it except its size, which is vast even for a Fire Country tree. Thick boughs stretch out, not picture-perfect but twisting, curling, and the bark is thick and weathered, green with moss.

Nothing special, nothing beyond the ordinary, and yet something about it sings in Obito's blood, winding through his veins like golden streamers of sunlight in the middle of winter.

He remembers being scared and nervous at first. He remembers hitting Aizawa in the middle of a crowd. He remembers talking. He remembers feeling warm, feeling strangely happy. He remembers that small strip of paper Aizawa had given him, the one with his personal phone number written on it, and the promise he’d made to his teacher. And he remembers the promise his teacher had made to him.

He has no idea why he’s here.

Todoroki Shouto wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there. He knows two things—he made a mistake somewhere along the way, and for some reason, Aizawa Shouta and Yamada Hizashi are here.

"no," said Scrooge. "absolutely not."

"it's a short list."

"it's ridiculous." he taps the paper. "ask for something reasonable."

and so Louie rewrites his list, glumly.

1. scarf

2. scarf

Eijirou hums affirmatively. “I got one on my tongue.”

Izuku’s brain short-circuits. On his tongue? Eijirou has a piercing on his tongue? It shouldn’t be that alarming, but Izuku has heard things — myths perhaps — and right at that moment, with his crush’s palm veiling his eyes as they’re alone in Eijirou’s room, Izuku can’t help but wonder after that revelation. Is it true that kissing someone with a tongue ring feels good?

Shinsou is far from oblivious even before he got fostered by 'the nice couple' who curled their fingers into his shoulders like possessive talons. He noticed how they ask around for the kid's quirks in the orphanage- only looking twice at powers that were strong or unusual. Shinsou's was both. He knows why they chose him.

But he's only little. His neighborhood isn't nice enough to have a hero on patrol every day. The police will want proof that he can't give. So when Eraserhead is tracing a path along the rooftops one night, he knows this might be his only chance.

[Shinsou finds Aizawa first, but it's Aizawa who keeps him.]

Then there were cathamsters:

“I’m not going to go to a vet and somehow put myself in a situation where I have to explain that I think my male cat got my male hamster pregnant.”

Some time after that we were joined by Guinea pig!Gimli, Cockatiel!Legolas, and others.

Then there were guineatiels:

'Kíli stared down at the eggs. Eggs. EGGS. Tiny smooth things that shouldn’t really exist. Well, not these eggs anyway.'

Yeah.

His fingers brush over the pulse in Denki’s neck and rest there, and suddenly his mouth tingles, and his hairs stand on end but he can’t break away. He needs more, pulls Denki in with an arm around his waist making their bodies press flush against each other, and the electric shock he receives travels like a bolt down through his core, right through his heart like Cupid’s arrow.

Its still a sore spot for the man. Deep down, he knew he never would have met Takeda if not for his persistence, but it was also painful to know that Takeda would never have given him the time of day if not for his surname. And honestly, Ukai thinks, why would he? Takeda is older, distinguished and educated. Keishin was…Well, Keishin was Keishin. At twenty six, he works in his families convenience store, picks beans, smokes cigarettes and is easily irritated. What Takeda saw in him is a mystery to the younger man, but he's grateful. Out of the many things in his life, Takeda was probably one of the better ones.

Or Bakugou just didn't want to fuel the bets going on behind their backs. It was probably that.

“They’re hideous.” Katsuki said with a shake of his head. He looked over at the ridiculous snowflake pattern on the one that Shoto wore and rolled his eyes.

LOL YOUR ROOMMATE?? I can't stop laughing omg

god did i ever share the full story of what happened with my housemate last year? i think i bitched about her a little bit but here’s the full write-up of my six months with that housemate. unedited and probably full of errors and discrepancies sorry cause im going off entirely from memory

i’ve now moved out of this apartment, but i was there for a year with three other girls. two of them i got along with fine, and we introduced ourselves to each other before we moved in because that’s common courtesy to see if we get along right? but basically before any of us could talk or interview candidates for the last spot in the apartment, this girl, i’m making up a name and calling her emily, this random girl named emily basically came in and signed on for the spot on the lease without talking to any of us. uh, okay? so we eventually all get in a group chat and talk and introduce ourselves and plan to move in. day one: emily moved in before me and i moved in a few hours later. i walk in and see the kitchen and she’s already covered the fridge with magnets and pictures and paper clippings featuring…. herself. like, a few of them had her friends, but most of the pictures were of her. basically. am i crazy or is that fucking weird? so from the get-go she just seemed……. if not privileged (which i also knew she was later), then definitely some sort of weird type of entitled but i couldn’t tell if it was maybe just cultural differences? (she was russian but had grown up in the states. idk)

anyway. she had this boyfriend who would come over occasionally, it was no problem since we didn’t talk and just waved hi to each other occasionally. but from the first week she and another housemate who lived on the far end of the apartment were both having trouble sleeping because someone else on the floor was blaring their tv loudly all hours of the night in the room next door. after several weeks of not being able to sleep through the night, they’d pretty much had enough and managed to track down whose apartment it was, and it turned out to be this elderly black woman’s apartment. i don’t really know if the woman understood why they were so upset because i think she might have been going slightly senile as well, so i think maybe the tv, or the volume, was something she wasn’t entirely aware she was doing? but the other housemate, i’ll call her veronica (who is more chill but was still upset) understood that this was probably not a fight they wanted to pick. veronica noticed that the elderly woman had a middle-aged male visitor, who looked like family, come visit the woman a few times a week and take care of her/take out the trash etc, so veronica decided to wait until she saw the visitor again to talk to him about lowering the volume or turning the tv off, or maybe getting his relative headphones or something. but emily, like….. kept pushing it every single night. every single night for the first month or so she’d stomp across the floor and rap on the door loud enough to wake up the entire floor (the walls were thin and it wasn’t a big building). and most of the time the woman didn’t respond, but there was one notable time someone else got fed up enough to wake up at 2am and yell at emily (deservedly so) for waking up the whole hall. all of which i heard very clearly because my room was next to the main door to out apt.

things escalated when i overheard emily talking to her friend on the phone about the situation and then she mentioned that in retaliation, she went over in the middle of the night and put vaseline on the woman’s door handle. i was kind of stunned and disgusted that a grown ass adult (she’s at least a few years older than me, i’d guess late 20′s/early 30′s?) would do something like that???? but anyway a few nights later iirc, once again in the middle of the night, i was woken up by a shouting match down the hall because apparently the male relative had come back to check in on who he said was his mother, and HE WAS PISSED, UNDERSTANDABLY SO, AT FINDING MY ROOMMATE IN THE MIDDLE OF PUTTING VASELINE ON THE FLOOR CREVICE UNDER THE DOOR. LIKE. THAT’S NOT JUST PETTY BUT REAL FUCKING DANGEROUS TO DO TO AN ELDERLY WOMAN. he basically shouted at her and she kept talking about how she can’t sleep for months because of the noise, and whatever, but she stomped back to our apartment and they had this argument loudly at the door (remember, my room was right next to the front door). i listened to it for a couple minutes wondering if she would like, acknowledge what she did was wrong? and it became clear that she was so focused on the noise she wasn’t listening to this dude, so i came out and i tried to be a voice of reason. the guy was understandably really pissed that she would do something like that and i apologized for her and said she was wrong to do that (she had stomped off back to her room meanwhile) and he seemed grateful to talk to someone who wasn’t batshit crazy in the meantime so he mentioned that he had grown up in this building all his life before moving out so it hurt to see someone treat his mother this way who had lived here for 50 years or something. and after that i was just thinking like, jesus, this is so not the kind of fight you want to have with a family like this as a white woman in a gentrified apartment complex. like at some point you need to realize this is not your fucking place and if you must settle things, do it civilly or just dip out entirely.

i think emily eventually apologized and he accepted and they found out that the tv wasn’t even coming from the woman’s room at all, but from someone on the floor above who THEY also had had problems with for months.

veronica was away on a trip i think during this climax, but before, while it was still escalating, i was talking with veronica and veronica mentioned she and emily had bitched about the noise to each other often, but veronica said she drew the line when emily basically started making her complaints race-themed ever since she found out the elderly woman was black. etc the complaints turned from “it’s too loud” to “this neighborhood is so ghetto” and “that’s what black ppl are like” and stuff like that. veronica wasn’t cool with that, so she planned on handling any other complaints herself directly so she could resolve things like a normal person, but ever since veronica mentioned that i knew emily was a pos

emily also complained about people partying/drinking on the street outside till ~11pm, which imo isn’t too unreasonable, like normal people do, and basically being too loud or whatever. on some level i get it cause she had to go to sleep early to go to work early, but also at some point i was just wondering how she functioned as a human being in the real world

ANYWAY THE STORY I TELL AT PARTIES IS THIS ONE, THE ONE IN WHICH SHE LEAVES (i will try to keep this as short as possible while still giving you all the details you need to understand just how fucking weird it was):

in early november, emily group messaged everyone asking if her boyfriend could come live with us. to her credit she said she wouldn’t do it unless everyone was ok, and she waited to hear back from all of us. i was out of town at the time but i remember being really put off by this idea and i was going to say no, when i noticed that my two other housemates had ALREADY said yes in the chat. just like that. i was stunned. what? like, no follow-up questions or “we dont even really know him” or “how is this gonna work”? were they fucking insane?

i messaged her privately saying i really wasn’t comfortable with it, for xyz reasons. among those being 1) rent, because nowhere did she offer to split the rent five ways instead of four (they were basically going to split her room between them, which, no). 2) fridge/living space, which was small enough with four people to one apartment as it is, and 3) just overall “i dont fucking know him” atmosphere. she messaged back saying she understood, and i got to asking why this was so important to her to do now, because she mentioned she wanted to do it “asap” if we’d said yes.

and this is where my “no” turned into “hell fucking no.” she told me this:

in response to my question of if she’d want to put him on the lease, she said no, she wouldn’t want her boyfriend on the lease in case “something happens so she could just tell him to leave” (raising my question: what, exactly, do you expect to happen? maybe the landlord, who lives in the building, finding out someone’s living here illegally? bc THAT WOULD DO IT FOR ME)

she was marrying him in december which is why she wanted it to happen “soon” so they wouldnt be living apart. i asked why she couldnt just wait until the lease was up to do all this, to which she said:

her boyfriend’s green card (he was russian) had expired so he was now paying month to month and that’s when i realized, oh. bitch he’s using you for a green card marriage and you’re trying to inconvenience all of us instead of owning your life like an adult, or something

at some point during the conversation she like tried to bribe me with a couple hundred extra dollars per month “to cover the cost of the extra utlities/wifi/inconvenience,” which i politely declined. this was when i said basically “look i never got the sense you particularly liked living here (massive understatement) and i think that it’d work out best if you moved out, which you’re clearly already planning to do”

and she did start looking immediately. at some point while she was looking i overheard her talking to veronica mentioning that he was a huge fan of putin and she’d asked him to like, politely, stop?, lmao because she didn’t like his entire yknow politics, and he basically said “i’m sorry, i can’t betray my personal/national identity, i just really believe in putin” or whatever the fuck and i thought to myself, this bitch is marrying him anyway for some godforsaken reason

i don’t know why i hoped that she would be any more considerate moving out than when she moved in, but somehow i was still surprised when the sublet she picked out was someone she never introduced us to or mentioned before, she literally just said “hey here’s your new housemate and when she’s moving in” and dropped us a phone number and facebook page.

one last thing: while emily was moving out, veronica mentioned to me that she was really pleased i stood up to her because she felt massively uncomfortable with the situation too. i asked why she didn’t say something, and she said she talked to emily privately airing out her problems, and emily had managed to talk her into accepting that sort-of bribe privately off message, and emily told her ‘just say yes’ in the chat, so she did and was kind of kicking herself for it after. (our other housemate was off doing fuck knows what at this point; she was gone for weeks on end leaving us to take care of her guinea pigs for her with little to no warning.)

but then, veronica says, the big thing that astounds her is that this wasn’t even the same boyfriend who she’d had when she’d moved in. six months had passed by this point. SHE HAD BEEN DATING GREEN CARD GUY FOR LIKE, THREE MONTHS WHEN SHE DROPPED THIS ON US

and then she moved to fucking harlem, one of the yknow most diverse neighborhoods in the city known particularly for its black heritage, so i guess have fun honey

(her replacement somehow turned out to be just as bad as she was, so you can imagine why i was eager for my lease to end in may)

2021.09.06

i went to bed too late the previous night, i spent an hour missing and catching the A and the L and then stayed up chatting with a friend in a completely different time zone. i set an alarm for (and woke up at, miraculously) 7:30 so that i could make it to 8:30 brunch. but i was suspicious that brunch would happen, or at least that it would happen at that time, because the friends with whom i was meant to be brunching had been out until at least 2am, maybe 3am that night based on the group chat, lol. i got ready and then saw a text (from the earliest riser) reading that the new plan was to “eat once everyone [was] awake.” fine, but i couldn’t take a nap immediately post-shower, as much as i wanted to erase the dark circles from my eyes before the evening’s date (which went well, or maybe just not badly; more on that later). so i read some of one way street, and then at 10ish i went to put our names in line for brunch, and then i bought an iced tea and read more of one way street on a bench in the park. brunch (11:45) was delicious but rushed because there were simply too many people who wanted clinton street’s pancakes on labor day; the waiting list closed not long after i added us to it. we strolled around the LES for a while, i spoke briefly with (and gave half of my remaining cash to) a homeless woman who told me how hard it was for her to sleep when it was so sunny, but it was also hard for her to sleep when it was rainy. she asked if i could buy her a coffee; i wanted to but also didn’t want to, and my friends came out at the right time. but maybe i should’ve bought her one? when i was walking with carl and matt and kiara around carroll gardens an old woman asked us for a dollar and we said sorry, we don’t have cash and then matt was like, fuck, she was just asking for a dollar! and he turned around and caught up with her and gave her a dollar. and kiara said wow, i’m surprised you have cash! which i thought was a weird thing to say. i always have cash except when i don’t, but i mean my default is definitely having cash in case i want halal. and matt said, i’m surprised when people don’t have cash! anyway... we looked around a few shops, i was very taken with an $84 tee with a b&w screen print of sinead o’connor smoking a cig. but i wouldn’t buy it, obviously. or would i? the first thing i did on sunday morning was shop the urban outfitters sale on sale, i don’t know if i mentioned that. anyway then i split from them and moved towards home, on my way home i bought bananas from the fruit stand, i gave him a fiver and wanted change but then he convinced me to buy four more dollars worth of peaches and blackberries and then he threw in a plum because i was “really cute.” he went on like that which started to unsettle me slightly so i dipped and walked home faster. then i decided i could read in the park a bit more before i went to go check on sam’s dog (which she wanted me to do again!!! it’s not that easy for me to get to her apartment) and i got a brown sugar oatmilk etc etc etc from sbux and sat in the park and then a BIRD SHIT ON MY BAG!!! i didn’t even realize what had happened, i was like what’s this green stuff that seems to be on my finger (a little) and on my copy of one way street (a little) and then i saw my bag and realized it was BIRD SHIT! and then i spilled my coffee. i tried not to get up immediately in order to maintain my dignity but i was so grossed out that i went home and washed everything and ripped the shitstained page out of the book (luckily i had already read it). then i walked to sam’s to hang out with the dog and do some homework. i barely accomplished any of the homework before i had to head home again to get ready for my date. my roommate was home so “getting ready” consisted mostly of him catching me up on his weekend upstate and me spritzing perfume and giving up on concealing the large whitehead on my right cheek. yeugh! i took the F to the date, my mask was disgustingly sweaty in that station, the last time i took the F in that direction i was getting off at 2nd ave for my first post-breakup date, now three months later i was getting on at 2nd ave and getting off at york st. i was only five minutes late :) i think it’s better for the woman to be later than for the man to be later. he was interesting, pleasant, inquisitive, cuter than he appeared on hinge. compact but not smaller than me, you know? he was ready to pay for our drinks but said “thanks” when i insisted on putting my card down too (i didn’t insist, i literally just put my card on top of his card). he has a soft voice but not in the way of my first hinge date where i found it slightly annoying, it resembles more the voice of (i know how strange this sounds) my preschool friend’s dad who is the consummate vermonter. and this guy is from maine so maybe it’s just like. a northern new england thing? (my ex wishes!) we parted ways, i walked to the F, i scared a group of four rats who were lounging in the trash and they made a break for it, two of them RAN OVER MY SANDALED FEET!!! very unsettling! when i got to my building i told my roommate he should meet me downstairs and we could go to the dumpling shop. and we got dumplings and then we went to a little bar nearby and we both nearly fell asleep in our drinks. it was only midnight!

Band Camp Day 2

it's 1:38am on the 17th, I just got back from the bar, and it's time to type

August 16th (I'm turning 21 today!)

<< 2 >>

Stayed up until 2 am last night:

The good thing about Monday is that we don't start at 8:30am yet. The dorm people move in today, so us off-campus people get to vibe.

Or in my case, get my birthday starbucks

among other birthday beverages

aka there's another coffee shop that also does free birthday drinks

librarians had to be in at 10am doing music, so that's when my day personally started (band camp wise, anyway)

I should mention that this is the official first day of band camp

music went fine. We checked every folder individually for mistakes and stuff. There was a little upset with who didn't go on my birthday coffee run and who did, which I understand, but it's such a small thing in the grand scheme of things

I do feel bad, though

check in started at 12:30 and went until 1:30, so we managed to get there around 1:15. However, the drumline instructor decided that that was the time to tell us he needed the entire score, which is the Worst time to tell us

and it's my band director's fault, to put it simply. Not even his

but we had to check in, so that became an issue for later

we checked in, which was simple and easy, and I got to see the piccs I haven't seen in forever, they managed to find our one freshman, which was super cool bc that was my first official time meeting her

I also got to see all of my other-section friends, which was awesome

then the Meeting began

before the meeting, all of band council and staff had to wait outside the room so we could run in like we're special or somethin

we are. Our shirts didn't come in on time, but we have bright yellow bandanas to wear all week so that people know who to ask for help

the whole "wearing it all week" thing was revealed to us WHILE our band director was saying it to the entire band

oh, and to set the scene, we're all standing behind him, facing the band

it's just all the normal introductory stuff. That was the most I've ever faked being happy bc I have to

he introduced us. Mispronounced my name. I thought it was really funny and so did the entire band, so at least we're all in on it

he explained how we get free meals until Wednesday, but then he talked about how the meal cards charge by meal? So then he was like "don't go to the dining hall for a minor meal, just eat in your dorm" which like

cool, now there's gonna be a starving freshman who was guilt tripped into eating a poptart in their dorm

like wtf. Charge the school as much as you want, kids, you're paying to be here.

halfway through, the drumline section leader left, and that's when ML2 realized we needed copies of that score now so it was really awkward watching her dart across the stage and do all that and get keys and stuff

she goes on a bit of a power trip so she prolly had a blast being center of attention in an indirect way

Once the meeting was over, we started auditions. I don't have to do that bc I'm a drill instructor, so theoretically I should have been doing librarian stuff, right?

right?

no, wrong, ML2 was doing it, even though she needed to audition. And now, we learned that the entire drumline doesn't have music at all, so we need to get them music

like that would have been nice to know

she did eventually audition, and speaking of auditions, my section leader from freshman year was the person helping our new section leader out, and it was so fun seeing her again

that's my mom

she goes "you're all so grown up" and then half an hour later "you guys are exactly the same"

ofc that was after we discussed doing some chicken slapping 7-mile spanking style for section bonding on thursday

so, this is sorta when ML2 comes back, done with doing librarian stuff, and just,,, leads us back to the building where we're doing full band rehearsal

this sounds fine, but she did it in a "duh, follow me" kinda way where she didn't slow down and was Fully Leading the section as if we didn't have a section leader who was supposed to be doing that

and no one was ready to move. None of us had all our things together

and we had a lot of time before we had to get there, so why the rush

she wanted to be in charge, that's why

now we're in the building where we're gonna have full band rehearsal, and we have time to kill, so we make our group chats, get to know our one first year, and just have normal convo

now fast forward to that rehearsal, where we're really gonna test how well we did our librarian jobs. All 130 folders we prepared, 20 songs each, handed out.

honestly? not too bad. We needed to make an extra cymbals folder and an extra tenor folder, and that was it.

well, we also had to recopy a clarinet 1 part, which was weird, bc I said that, and then ML2 talked to that clarinet, and she came back and said "she needs clarinet 1"

yeah

i said that

it was a little more complicated than that but that's the gist

oh! and this is also when we learned chair placements. I didn't audition (co-DI rights), and I asked for 2nd, which my section leader said "yeah who else would get it"

so i went from 5th my freshman year, 3rd two years in a row, to second!

[it's 2am, i'm continuing this tomorrow when I get home from day 3]

[hi hello it's 11:38 pm on day 3, let's continue, shall we? I have a lot to type tonight]

so anyway, ML2 and I do librarian things and miss most of that band rehearsal. I got back just in time to play Al, which is practically our second fight song

after that we had dinner, where our band director?? decided to sit with us??? for some godforsaken reason???

we don't like him, he doesn't care for piccs, it was really weird

we didn't?? tone down our personality for him, either, which is,,,, bad

we are a v inappropriate section, and we all love it, but maybe not in front of him

he also goes?? "hey where do I get pasta? should I ask for it [DI]-style? with extra meat"

SIR WHAT THE FUCK

we've been,,, losing our minds about that one

After dinner, we were back down at the field to learn more fundamentals

honestly I don't think anything terribly crazy happened? I've now had to stand in front of the band to demonstrate things?? with the other DI's, which is sorta wild

the band sang happy birthday to me!! which technically I asked for bc I wanted the attention but!!! it was really nice!!!!! and then the seniors got together to plan our first prank

and we did the singing and stuff where we had two years of people not quite know what was going on (thanks, covid)

ML2 is,,, very judgy about me being DI and it's been getting worse as we go on, but more on that tomorrow. We had some Facial Expressions today

we didn't do the after-band activity bc we were tired and planning on going to the bar for ML2's 21st bday

my dm do be texting me about how salty ML2 is tho. It's making me very anxious

sorry this is a day late! I got 4 hours of sleep last night

#band camp #2k21 bc adventures #band #marching band #rant #cpb speaks #cbc #guys i'm so tired

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)

A not so random review...

What’s this, content outside of the periods of October or December? Well, I guess you could call this striking while the iron is hot-ish, and trying to keep the ball rolling after I actually made it through a whole October for once. That and this is laying the groundwork for something a little further down the line.

Summarizing this as ‘the Indian dude from Van Wilder and the Asian dude from American Pie’ almost feels a little lazy but I think that’s literally how it was advertised at the time. Apparently John Cho’s character in Pie is who we have to thank for the popularization of the term ‘MILF’. As for Kal Penn, I had totally forgotten he’d worked under President Obama for like nearly two years.

It’s Cho I’m more familiar with though, primarilly down to his turn on the short lived TV show Off Centre that I would watch in the early 2000’s when it aired in the middle of the night on a Friday/Saturday and I had nothing better to do. That show was notable for having a lot of people from American Pie working on it and doing cameos. That and having Brit Sean Maguire in it for some reason. I think watching Cho on there is how I came to watch this because Chau rules, it says so on the wall. He was on FlashForward too, I keep referencing that. He’s arguably the more succesful of the duo, doing the new Star Treks over the past decade or so and he had that movie Searching last year which I think got a lot of buzz due to him being the lead and that was a first for an Asian-American actor. That and it takes place entirely over computer and phone screens so that’s a bit of a unique presentation. Kinda like Unfriended being done over Skype.

There’s a bit of an odd couple situation going on between Harold and Kumar, Harold being a more repressed, law abiding type (apart from the rampant weed use) and Kumar being the more outgoing, messy type who will shave his pubic hair in your room because you have the full length mirror and wont see any problem in that. After getting high, the pair have a craving for some White Castle and this starts our whole whacky adventure.

An adventure that wont include their stoner neighbours who would prefer to stay home and watch ‘The Gift’ because they get to see a topless Katie Holmes. Dude, it’s 2004, I’m pretty sure you can just look at them online by now. They later describe her tits as the opposite of the Holocaust which is certainly an interesting description. Try that as a chat up line, I’m sure it will end well. Their neighbours being David Krumholtz, notable for his role in Numb3rs or, more pertinent to this blog, the lead elf in The Santa Clause. Then there’s Eddie Kaye Thomas who was also in American Pie and Off Centre, I feel like he kinda fell off the face of the earth after that though.

They serve as an early example of the cameos that this movie will through at you, which I suppose is fitting for a road trip movie, the story is just passing through all these locations so you get a brief look at these new characters before moving on. But there’s a ton of them in here, so many recognisable people from Fredd Willard, Ryan Reynolds, Christopher Meloni and…ugh, Jamie Kennedy. We’ll save the most prominent one though…

I wasn’t really feeling this at first, mostly because it takes a while for anything of interest to happen. Like, one of their early stops is Princeton because they’re trying to score more weed but most of the time is spent with Harold and this really boring group of nerds that seem to idolise him. Kumar hits it off with these two British chicks but we then get a prolonged sequence of fart jokes with them in the toilet playing ‘Battleshits’. I have no clue on how the mechanics of this game work, I guess it’s just whoever gets the loudest fart scores as a hit?

Things pick up when the movie starts embracing absurdity, like when Harold gets bitten by a racoon so they have to go to the hospital and Kumar swipes his Dad’s security pass so they can go steal medical marijuana. Only, they both get ushered into the operating theatre to operate on a guy who’s been shot.

Or the mechanic called Freakshow who has all sorts of boils over his face and a cuckoldry relationship with his wife who he invites our two heroes to have sex with.

Speaking of sex, they also happen to pick up a very horny Neil Patrick Harris who isn’t interested in their talk of White Castle and wants to go get laid at the strip club instead. The wikipedia page for the movie describes NPH as playing ‘a fictionalized version of himself’, would that be the part where he’s off his tits on ecstasy or the part where he’s attracted to women?

For all of it’s cameos, there’s almost an anti-cameo in the form of this cop who writes Harold a ticket for jay walking for taking like a step out into the road at 2am with no cars around. He just looks recognisable in some way but I can’t see that the actor has done anything of note. Maybe it’s just because he looks like a low rent Ron Burgundy.

The movie suddenly decides to develop some social commentary here with this heavy handed display of racial profiling where the police arrest an African-American man for a shooting in spite of the fact he’s at sleeping at the time. They’re processing him in his pajamas and night mask for God’s sake!

This does bring us the dream sequence of Kumar having a love affair with a big bag of weed though. You know the type, the slow motion running into each others arms? Well this goes a step further by having him fuck the bag, get married and then go through this marital strife where he backhands her for making some bad coffee before having to comfort her.

And then the pair get high with a cheetah and ride it around because NPH stole their car. You see what I mean about the absurdity?

Thankfully they do finally make it to White Castle, at about 7am, and indulge in a mammoth order of 30 sliders, 5 french fries and 4 large Cherry Cokes. And that’s just for one of them. Times that order by two and it all comes to $46.75. I know those burgers are only small but they still feels pretty cheap for all that food.

And for as much as this does feel like one big advertisement, they really go the whole hog by having this food seemingly give these characters epiphanies in their lives. Kumar is no longer satisfied with avoiding life, he’s finally going to knuckle down and nail one of those university interviews because as much as a stereotype as it is, there’s probably a lot worse things to be than an Indian doctor. And Harold finally stands up to his jerk boss who dumped all his work on him because those Asians just love crunching numbers.

He even gets the confidence to talk to the hot chick in their apartment building but it sucks that it took him until now to strike up a relationship because she’s going to Amsterdam for the next 10 days. Clearly this calls for another crazy adventure because you can’t just leave things like that for the best part of two weeks, plus you know what’s legal in Holland…only, knowing the title of the next movie, I don’t know if they ever make it that far…

I feel there’s a weird mix of tones with this movie, I think it excels when you have your far out moments of drug related dream sequences or cheetah based road trips but it’s pulled down to reality with these really harsh scenes of just explicit racism and this message of standing up for yourself. Again, knowing the sequel, that whole race thing seems to remain quite a strong focal point of the movie….

Chapter Nine: Cracks

Word Count: 3258

☏ ☏ ☏ ☏

“So that’s it?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Me too.”

It’s a strong statement to say both teens are to blame for what happened. Blame isn't really the right word, even though both Riley and Lucas are at fault for what transpired the day they called quits on their friendship. Everyone involved believed that their actions were the right thing to do. But, that’s getting ahead of ourselves.

Riley and Lucas are at their best when they’re just talking to each other so if one decides to withhold parts of the truth, cracks begin to form in their deep connection. Cracks much like the ones that sprouted after Riley hid her feelings from Lucas in Texas.

Dancing around the truth is something both Riley and Lucas have been guilty of doing since they each went back to school. Riley’s little white lies are an attempt to protect herself. A shield blocking all potential pity she may receive from Lucas.

Lucas takes Riley’s vagueness or her ‘too good to be true’ nature as her hiding something from him. One of Lucas’ biggest faults is how blind he is when it comes to Riley. Knowing her is something he’s very good at but sometimes his jealousy clouds rational thinking and his mind wanders to conclusions far from the truth. For example, in the Texan’s mind Riley is having a wonderful life but her eagerness to change the subject every time it’s brought up comes from her being too shy to tell him the truth about certain things, like her feelings.

Lucas had been sugar-coating things from his end in New York too, also in an attempt to protect Riley’s feelings. Lucas didn’t want to ever make Riley feel like she wasn’t apart of their world anymore so he avoided talking about things that didn’t include her. Riley knows this, she knew that from the start but once Rain came into the picture Riley worries their distance was more the cause of a new girl in his life rather than him holding on to the old one.

One thing is certain in this confusing mess of miscommunication and that is that both teens, as smart as they are, are completely wrong.

You could say the beginning of the end was the day Riley began school in London, that the first crack, as tiny as it was, showed. However, the real damage happened the night Riley and Lucas video chatted about Rain asking him on a date.

“Hey Riles, I should probably go.”

“Sure, speak soon okay?” Riley grins one last time before they end the video chat.

In New York City, Lucas closes his laptop and remains at his desk. The Texan wears a crescent fallen expression as he rests his chin in his hands. Something about their conversation was off and their last few conversations for that matter. Lucas starts to overthink every conversation they’ve had of late, the distance between them and he tries to pinpoint when it started. Lucas is quite confident it began around the time they both went back to school. At first Lucas passed it off as her being busy adapting to a new school, he’d been in her position before. But now, after their most recent call Lucas revisits the thoughts he had the night Riley was tagged in Finn’s photo at the party.

Lucas wonders why Riley was so supportive, why she seemed happy about him dating someone else. If Lucas took a moment to remove jealousy from his mind he’d easily come to the conclusion that Riley truly does just want him to be happy, like she does for all their friends but, in Lucas’ mind that has been swirling with conspiracies about Riley’s feelings for months he can only come to one conclusion: Riley is a) no longer interested in him romantically and b) romantically interested in someone else. Finn.

He decides to call Rain.

One Week Later

Lucas arrives home, it’s relatively early for a Saturday night, 9pm. He makes his way to his room and pulls out his phone which has been turned off all night. He switches it back on and a few notifications pop up on his screen. Only two of which mattered to him.

(3) Missed Calls from Riley 💜 (2) Texts from Riley 💜

Instantly he’s hit with a wave of guilt and for more reasons than one. He and Riley had made plans to video chat that evening. After their call ended so quickly last week the two found trouble finding time for a longer call so even though it would be 10pm for Riley and 5pm for Lucas they decided that that was when they’d catch up properly. Quickly Lucas opens her messages.

Even though she only texted him one hour ago he still knows it’s 2am in London so he just sends her a text rather than calling her back.

Sadly this wouldn't be the last time Lucas forgot he was supposed to chat with Riley. In his defence though, Lucas was trying his very best to do right by everyone in his life and assure that no ones feelings were hurt, not Riley’s or Rain’s but he was crumbling under the pressure. Even though his greatest worry was to spare anyone heartache he unknowingly caused it through the very actions he hoped would save them from it.

A month passes since Lucas’ first date with Rain and ever since then he’s been more aware of the strain on his and Riley’s relationship. Even though he’s worried about Riley he finds himself avoiding her and still not being able to open up to her when it came to Rain.

Riley noties Lucas’ distance, she feels Lucas slipping away from her more and more as they days go by. To make things worse Riley has noticed Lucas purposely lying to her before. He’d apologise for not being able to chat because of one reason only for Riley to later find out he was occupied for a different one. Although, Riley being Riley just smiles and lets it slide. She’s still so trusting of her former boyfriend, he’s one of her very best friends and if he tells her something she’s going to believe it. So when Lucas missed another one of their scheduled video chats she believes him when he says he got caught up in an assignment.

It was the early AM for Riley when she finally got a response from Lucas. Riley almost felt guilty for making Lucas feel bad for missing their call but after she assured him it was okay she fell asleep quickly. The very next morning Riley wakes up thanks to her alarm for school and notices a tag notification of Lucas. It was a photo Rain posted a short while after she fell asleep. Quickly Riley opens the photo.

Riley burns red with rage after discovering that Lucas had lied to her yet again and she was even more cross that she’d felt guilty about making him feel guilty. Riley had let this slide one too many times so she decides to finally call him out on it. Knowing it would still be the early AM for Lucas she’s surprised that Lucas replied instantly.

They then make definitive plans to video chat that coming Saturday. No matter what, they weren't missing that call.

Still irked about her current predicament with Lucas, Riley sits alone that morning before school on her favourite bench outside. She’s spooked when Finn sneaks up behind her.

“Hey,” He hands her a paper cup from the cafe around the corner from their school.

“Thanks, but I don’t drink coffee,” Riley gives him a small smile.

“I know, that’s why I got you a hot chocolate,” Finn smirks.

“Thank you,” Riley gives him a warmer smile and sips on the hot beverage.

“I feel like we haven't spoken in forever,” Finn says as he sits beside Riley on the bench.

“I’m really sorry,” Riley gives him a sympathetic look.

“Is it because of the party?” Finn asks quietly, “I really am sorry.”

“No, it’s not that,” Riley lies because it was a little that. “My New York life is clashing with my London life and I’m just struggling to balance them.”

“Sorry to hear that,” Finn says genuinely.

“It’s okay, I get to go home for a few weeks during the Summer so hopefully things will work out before then,” Riley shrugs, desperately wanting to change the subject.

“I hope so too.” Finn smiles and turns his attention to the lovely gardens surrounding them. A moment of silence passes before Finn speaks again. “So we’re good though, right?”

“Of course,” Riley nods.

“Good, I just wanted to make sure we were still friends because it would be weird this weekend if we weren’t,” Finn lets out a breath of relief.

“This weekend?” Riley narrows her brows in confusion.

“I’m staying at your house?” Finn coaxes his head, confused as to why she was confused.

“What?” Riley lets out a nervous chuckle.

“It’s my parents anniversary weekend and they’re going to Rome...” Finn waits for Riley to catch on but she doesn’t so he continues, “My parents don't trust me alone anymore after last months party where my apartment got trashed so your mom offered to babysit me for the weekend.”

“She did?” Riley remains puzzled.

“Yes and I assumed it was cleared with you first,” Finn chews on his bottom lip. “I can make other arrangements if it’s too odd for you.”

“No, I’m just surprised,” Riley laughs, “It’s fine, we can have a movie night or something.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Finn nods.

That afternoon Riley confronts her mother about it and Topanga is very apologetic for not telling Riley. The plans had only been made that passed weekend after brunch with a client. Riley doesn’t blame her mother for letting it slip her mind, Riley had been well aware of how busy her mom now is and how frazzled she seemed of late trying to balance her new position and new home life.

Riley feels a little awkward about the situation but settles when she gives it some more thought. Finn is her friend, he’d be sleeping in Auggie’s room whilst Auggie stayed with Riley and they’d just be hanging out the way Riley would with Farkle or Zay. Still, Riley decides to keep this to herself because she doesn’t want to arouse suspicion or cause waves within her friend group and it’s at this very moment when Riley realises she’s gotten angry at Lucas for something she’s been doing for months, lying. It’s because of this realisation that Riley’s anger towards the Texan deflates and she makes a mental note to apologise to him for being angry and somewhat jealous.

Riley starts to come to her senses, she lets her jealously go and thinks rationally about Lucas’ behaviour. Of course he’s just trying to spare her feelings with the whole Rain situation. Riley knows Lucas would never rub that in her face. After deep thought Riley decides she’s fully prepared to have an open and honest conversation with Lucas that coming Saturday liked they planned, she wanted to clear the air with him and patch any cracks in their relationship. Riley even thought about sharing her struggles these past months with school and friends.

In theory this conversation could have saved Riley and Lucas but an unforeseen roadblock got in the way.

Friday 11:50pm London. 6:50pm New York City.

After marathoning the first three Hunger Games movies Riley and Finn contemplate staying up and watching the last one before calling it a night. Finn had to be up early for soccer practice or ‘football’ as he says and it always makes Riley giggle. Not to mention that Auggie was already passed out in Riley’s bed so the two teens thought about just leaving it but when Riley jokingly grunted, “Sleep is for the weak!” like some drill sergeant Finn lost it completely, erupting into hysterical laughter and the two settled in to watch Mocking Jay part two, but not before Finn could document the moment he found so hilarious.

Now, Finn couldn’t have known that this would cause such conflict in Riley’s relationship with Lucas. To the Brit he was harmlessly documenting something funny that happened during his stay at the Matthews’ apartment. He wasn’t even trying to be vague or misleading with his caption to imply something else as he’d told all his friends about having to be babysat that weekend and they’d all laughed about it. Even Riley had a giggle about it when she sat with them at lunch. But, nonetheless the caption was misconstrued as something else to Lucas and Riley woke up in the middle of a metaphorical storm, one that even she couldn’t calm Lucas down in.

5:00am London. Riley stirs in her bed when she hears Finn’s alarm sound in the other room. The brunette is hit with instant regret for watching that last movie. Riley looks over to Auggie with a smile on her face as he’s still sound asleep beside her. Riley stretches her tight muscles and sits up, eventually getting out of bed. Riley pokes her head through the door, she figures it would be the polite thing to do for her to check on Finn before he goes. Riley spots him quietly exiting Auggie’s room with his sports back over his shoulder. He notices Riley and gives her a small smile from down the hall and whispers an apology if he woke her. Riley mumbles her response and wishes him well. They exchange ‘see you laters’, he’d be back later that day as he was still staying the night again.

Riley tiptoes back to her bed, her plan was to catch a few more hours sleep before starting her day but when she checked her phone to see the exact time it’s not the early hour she notices as much as the backlash from the post she was tagged in. She had two missed calls from Lucas. Knowing it was just after 12am in New York Riley took her chances in calling him back. Worried that something was up for him to call her because he would have known it was the early AM in London at the time. She makes her way into the living space so she doesn’t wake Auggie and hits dial.

It should be noted that Riley was unaware she was tagged in any photo so the conversation started on a very confusing note for the brunette.

“Lucas?” Riley asks panicked through the phone when he answers. ��You called and we were supposed to talk later today so I was worried. Is something wrong?”

“I just think it’s funny how you lecture me on lying when you’ve been doing it for months,” Lucas is clearly agitated.

Riley is caught off guard by his tone. “That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about today, when we video chatted.”

“You're only saying that because you were caught in the lie,” Lucas scoffs.

Riley is confused, why would Lucas be mad at her for feeling lonely? Surely he’d understand why she felt the need to hide that. “What?” Is all she managed to ask.

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know,” Lucas says, “I know about you and Finn.”

“Me and Finn?” Riley repeats, “Did Maya tell you?”

“She didn’t have to, I just worked it out. Why you’ve been acting so weird lately, why you never really want to talk about it.”

“It was just one kiss. Finn is a really nice guy.” Riley and Lucas are still having two different conversations. In her mind Riley was admitting to the awkward kiss but defending Finn’s character, she didn’t want Lucas thinking he was a bad guy. Especially after the nice time she had with him last night, things were starting to feel natural between them again.

“Okay, just one kiss, now he’s sleeping over at your house?” Lucas asks. In his mind they’re talking about Riley confirming her secret relationship with Finn.

Riley is confused for a moment, how would Lucas know about that but then she remembers seeing that Finn had tagged her in a photo, she just didn’t open it because all Riley saw were Lucas’ missed calls.

“Wait, Lucas I think you have the wrong idea...” Riley shakes her head.

“It seems pretty clear to me,” Lucas states, “I can’t believe you’d get angry at me for spending time with Rain when you’ve been doing the same thing with Finn this whole time.”

“Whoa.” Riley says firmly, her panic and confusion is quickly turning to anger, “I was never angry at you for spending time with Rain. A little jealous maybe but never angry. I was only ever angry at you for lying to me or constantly forgetting our calls.”

Jealous? Lucas hears her but can’t fully register what she’s saying, that whole jealously blinder thing he has when it comes to Riley. “But what about Finn?” Lucas asks, “I thought we were always supposed to be able to talk to each other. Or was that just another lie?”

“Finn and I are just friends, Lucas and you have no right to get mad at me even if we were more than friends,” Riley snaps.

The conversation went back and forth for ten more minutes. Neither teen actually communicating properly just spitting angry comments out at one other. Lucas being blinded by his jealously he couldn’t hear Riley when she said he’s misunderstood what was going on. Then there’s Riley who in the face of conflict says things she doesn’t mean and rightly so she’s offended that Lucas is attacking her like he is.

Both Riley and Lucas are arguing different things but what neither of them say and what both of them are actually so worked up over is that their upset with how distant they’ve become.

Yes, Lucas is certainly blinded by jealously. His temper is something he’s always had trouble controlling and with the lack of Riley in his life lately there’s been little to calm him.

Riley takes a deep breath, being the first one to realise why she’s really upset and tries to soften her approach

“Lucas I don’t want to fight,” Riley says calmly.

“Neither do I,” Lucas sighs, “This is why I’ve been avoiding your calls.”

“So you have been avoiding me?” Riley asks hurt.

“That’s not what I meant,” Lucas says quickly.

“What else could you possibly mean?” Riley questions.

“I’m just stressed out okay,” Lucas groans. “I can’t do this anymore!” He blurts out.

“Do what?” Riley asks cautiously.

“Us,” Lucas sighs.

“Why does it feel like you’re breaking up with me?” Riley crinkles her brows.

Lucas is silent for what feels like a lifetime to Riley before he quietly says, “I don’t think it’s a good idea that we speak anymore.”

“That’s what you want?” Riley can only whisper.

“I just can’t anymore. It’s not fair on Rain...” Lucas remains deflated.

“So that’s it?” Riley is too stunned to process if she’s angry or sad in this moment.

“I’m sorry.”

“Me too.” Riley says quietly then after a moment she says something again, “Oh and Lucas, you know what I find funny? You were the one that needed to know things wouldn't change between us if you went out with Rain. I was sure they wouldn’t. Guess I was wrong.”

With that she ends the call. Angry. Yeah, she was definitely angry.
