Yoongi POV
God, I'm so bored
I love the guys but going over this tour stuff is so boring
I just want to be with Joanne
I'm so happy she's coming on tour with us
I can't imagine leaving her and missing her for three months
My phone starts ringing and I look down at it
Hmm
She's face timing me
I wonder why
"Yoongi!", the manager calls my name
"Sorry", I mumble and silence the phone
I'll call her back later
But then my phone rings again and I get annoyed stares from around the room
I silence the phone again
A minute later it rings again
"Oh god just answer it and tell them you'll call them back.", the manager says, getting up and leaving, "Call me when you're done"
I nod
I walk across the room to the window and answer the phone
"Jo?"
Something is blocking the view and I can't see her
"Jo?"
"YOONGI!", she screams, fear in her voice
I immediately stiffen and panic, "Joanne! What's wrong?"
"YOONGI!", she screams, "Don't come home!"
"What, why?", I panic, "I can't see you"
"I found her", a familiar voice says and my blood runs cold
No
Oh god no
"JOANNE!", I scream
"What happened?", Namjoon yells
"You wanna see her?", Han-jae taunts
"Where is she?", I shout
"Ok here you go"
Whatever was covering the camera disappears and I scream at what see
She's lying on the floor on her back
There's blood everywhere
Her face is a bloody mess and I see wounds all over her body.
And they're bleeding a lot
"No! Joanne! What did you do to her!", I shriek
"Oh my god Joanne!", I hear Jungkook yell and I turn to see him looking at my phone, tears pouring down his face
"Holy shit!", Namjoon shouts, "Call the police!"
"No!", Han-jae yells, "If you call the police you'll never find her body. Or any parts of her"
Parts of her?
He can't....he wouldn't....that's going too far even for him
"No, stop, no", I cry
"No police", he repeats
"No fine, no", I sob, "Don't hurt her. Please, don't hurt her anymore."
"Oh my god!", I hear Jimin breathe and I turn to see all of them behind me staring in horror at my phone
"Well I can't promise that", he says
She's sobbing in the background, calling for me
He turns from me and punches her in the side of her face
"No stop! No! Oh god no!", I cry, fear and rage flooding my body
"Shut up! I told you to stop calling for him", he screams at her
She doesn't listen
She keeps calling me
He turns her phone to himself and rolls his eyes, "I think she wants to talk to you"
He puts the phone closer to her
"Joanne! Joanne!", I sob, so scared
She looks so hurt, in so much pain
"Yoongi! Yoongi!", she cries
"I'm here jagi. I'm here", I cry hysterically
"D..dd.... don't, come home. Hhh..he's going to kill you after he kills me"
Blood is pouring from cuts on her face, she's in pain and she's still worried about me
"I don't care. I don't care", I shout, "If you die, I don't care if he kills me"
I hear Jungkook crying hysterically
Namjoon comes over and puts his arm around me, holding me up as I watch the love of my life bleed out on our floor
"No Yoongi. No. I don't want you to die", she cries, "Please don't come home."
"I don't want you to die either", I cry
"Aww well too bad.", Han-jae says as he moves the phone away from her
"What do you want?", I shout, "What do you want? I'll give you anything you want, just don't hurt her anymore"
"Want? I don't want anything. I told her that she's mine and the only way she can leave me is by dying."
"You fucking animal!", I scream, "Let her go"
"Well as you can see Yoongi, she can't go anywhere. See I stabbed her a lot and even if she wanted to I don't think she can move."
He stabbed her?
Stabbed her?
What the fuck is wrong with him?
"No..you fucking bastard, how could you hurt her?"
"Easily"
He moves the phone over her body and I see knife wounds all over
I cry harder
He lifts her arm up and I see more wounds
"Oh god, oh god", Tae cries
"Fuck", Jin whispers
Then he moves the phone to her collarbone and I see something sticking out
A knife
"See this? It's actually stuck in her bone! I can't get it out."
He reached for the knife and twists it
She lets out the most animalistic scream I ever heard
"Stop", I whisper in horror
He continues to turn and twist the knife
She's screaming so loudly and my heart is shattering
I can't breathe
I should be there, I should of stopped this
I should of killed him when I had the chance
"Stop it! Stop it!", Jungkook screams, "Stop it!"
He tries to lift the knife out but instead he lifts her up by the knife
She cries out and I hear her begging him
"Stop. Please, stop. Just kill me, please. Just kill me"
"No Jo no. Don't say that.", I wail
"It hurts Yoongi. It hurts so much. I want it to stop", she says through tears
"No jagi, please. Don't leave me", I beg
"Oh you're not gonna die yet. I'm not done with you yet."
I hear fumbling and Han-jae says, "Hey Yoongi. Look what I got."
A gun comes into view
"No!", I scream, "No don't. No!"
"Yoongi!", she screams, terror in her eyes
Han-jae cocks the gun and shoots her in the shoulder
I never knew a human could scream that way
He leans over and holds the camera above her
Her shoulder is bleeding a lot
I see his hand come into frame and he sticks his thumb in the bullet wound
I scream as she does
He twists his finger in the wound and as she screams he says, "Say his fucking name again. I dare you. Every time you say his name, I'm going to put another bullet in you."
"Stop! Stop! Oh god!", I cry
I can't believe what I'm fucking seeing
I can't believe I'm watching her die
"Fuck this", I hear Jimin say, "I'm calling the cops"
He walks away and I hear him on his phone, "You need to get to the apartment immediately. Han-jae Hwung is there and he's torturing Joanne Russo. He's going to kill her."
"Yoongi", she whimpers, her eyes closed
The gun goes off again and she groans
"Uh oh, I think she's dying", Han-jae says, "I shot her in the leg and she didn't scream
"Just kill me", she begs him, "Please. It hurts so much. I want to die. Just kill me"
Han-jae laughs
He actually laughs
Motherfucker
"I don't want you to die yet. I want you to suffer"
"Yoongi", she calls me and I break down screaming
Another gun shot
She whimpers so softly
"Yeah she's dying"
"Why are you doing this?", I cry, "Why?"
"Because she left me for you. Now I'm taking away what you love."
"Don't, please don't", I beg
"She was wrong about one thing though. I'm not going to kill you. I want you to live knowing what you lost, knowing that you watched her die."
I cry harder
He moves the camera to her face.
"Hey. Wake up.", he shakes her and her eyes open slowly
"Any last words to your precious Yoongi?"
She looks at the camera and I crumble to the floor as I see unconditional love in her eyes
She smiles softly and says, "I love you Yoongi. Always. Forever"
"I love you Joanne", I tell her
She smiles again and closes her eyes
The camera moves and the next thing I see is the gun pointing at her head
Her eyes are closed and she's whimpering, struggling to breathe, a wet sound coming from her mouth
"No. Please. Don't. Don't take her from me"
"Say good bye Yoongi"
"No!", I shout
He pulls the trigger and shoots her in the head
She doesn't move, doesn't flinch, doesn't cry out, doesn't make a sound
"No", I scream crying and standing up
He killed her
He fucking killed her
And made me watch
"You're dead!", I scream at him, "You're fucking dead. I will hunt you down and I'm going to kill you. I'm going to make you wish you pulled the trigger on your head instead of hers."
"Good luck", he says then ends the call
I scream and throw the phone across the room, it shattering into pieces
I turn to see the guys looking at me
Jungkook is still crying hysterically, Tae holding him trying to calm him even though he's crying too
Jimin is standing looking shocked
Hobi is crying on the couch with Jin sitting next to him his head in his hands, shoulders shaking
Namjoon is kneeling on the floor where I was watching my jagi die
"Where's the fucking cops!", I scream, "Why didn't they come?"
"T.th..theyy said they'll be there as soon as they could. Th..they said the cops were dealing with a hostage situation."
I scream, then turn and walk out of the room
As I walk down the hallway, the guys follow me
"Where are you going?", Namjoon asks panicky
"To her", I growl
"You can't go there! He could be waiting for you!"
Anger fills my body as I continue to walk
"You know what Namjoon, I really don't give a fuck"
"Yoongi...listen"
I whirl around to face him and them
"No Namjoon, you listen. I just watched some fucking animal torture and kkk...ki...", I stop and breathe
Fuck I can't even say the words
"I just watched the love of my life, the only girl I ever loved be tortured and killed. He made me watch her die and I couldn't help her. I was supposed to protect her and I failed her twice", I say through tears
Oh god I failed at protecting my baby
I left her home
I should of taken her with me
I shouldn't have let her out of my sight
And now she's gone
"I just want her. I want hold her before she has to be put in the fucking ground. And if he's there to kill me then he can. He took everything from me, she was everything. And I don't want to live in a world that she's not in."
I turn around and keep walking
"Do you want us to come with you?", Namjoon asks
"No. Just leave me alone"
---------------------------
I walk up the stairs to my apartment
I open the door and I see blood everywhere
The fucking cops still haven't shown up yet
I walk inside, to where I know she is
I look down and see her there
I sink to my knees crying
There's so much blood, most of her skin covered with it.
I look at her face and I lose it
I pick her up and hold her to me, sobbing in her hair, rocking back and forth
"Why? Why did you have to leave?", I cry
My god the agony is enormous
It's taking my breath away
"Why did you have to be taken from me? I can't live without you. I don't want to. I want to be with you"
Why?
Why did this have to happen?
Why?
My life is over
I died when she did
I mean what I said to Namjoon.
I don't want to live without her
I don't care if I die
The agony I feel at knowing she'll never smile at me again, never talk to me again, that I'll never see her again, is killing me
I sit there and just hold my world in my arms
I'm fucking enraged
I'm furious that he found her
I'm furious at what he did to her
But most of all, I'm furious at myself
I wasn't there
I promised to protect her
I swore I'd never let anything happen to her
And I failed
Twice
And this time she died
She screamed for me
She screamed for me and I couldn't do anything
That thought breaks me and I scream
She called for me and I wasn't there
She screamed for me to not come home
"Yoongi don't come home!", I can still hear her scream, "Please don't come home!"
She was scared
For me
When she was being killed she was scared for me
I don't deserve her
I look down and just stare at her through tears
And her chest moves
"What?", I say to myself
Am I seeing things now?
Am I wishing so badly that she was alive that I'm imagining her breathing?
Her chest moves again
I put my hand on her chest where her heart is
And I feel a heartbeat
"What?", I whisper
Her heart beats again
It's faint but it's there
I put my head down to her mouth and listen
I hear her breathing
It's shallow
But she's breathing
I look at her head, which I avoided looking at because I didn't want to see the bullet wound
I move her hair around but I don't see anything
I saw him shoot her
I turn her head to the side and see a huge cut along the side of her forehead
I look down and I see the bullet on the floor
He missed
He missed!
I need to get her to a hospital
NOW
I don't know where her phone is and mine is on the floor in pieces at the BigHit
I can't call an ambulance
"Shit!", I gasp
I pick her up, hold her close to me and run out of the door to her car
I put her in the back seat and I climb in the driver seat
I turned the car on and speed to the hospital
---------------------------
I burst in the emergency room, carrying her and screaming for help
"Help please. Help!"
I run to the front of the emergency room
"Help!", I scream hysterically, "She needs help! She's going to die! Please don't let her die!"
Nurses run to me
"Holy shit! Get a stretcher now!"
"What happened?", one asked me as they lead me to a stretcher
"She was stabbed and shot"
"By who?"
"Han-jae Hwung. But please help her. Save her. I love her. Please", I beg
The stretcher comes and I'm instructed to put her on it
They wheel her to a section of the emergency room and I follow
The nurses and a doctor immediately crowd around her, hooking her up to machines
"Faint pulse"
"She's barely breathing"
"She needs surgery, now."
"She needs x-rays!"
"She needs blood. She lost a lot, find her blood type now"
Amidst all this, I stand there crying not knowing what to do
I can only watch and not do anything to help
Again
The heart machine suddenly starts making a loud rapid beeping sounds
"She's going into cardiac arrest!"
"Get the paddles! Get her shirt off!"
A nurse cuts her shirt open as the doctor gets some kind of paddle things
"Ready?"
"Fully charged"
"Clear"
The doctor puts the paddles on her chest and the impact from whatever coming out of them causes her body to jerk up
The sight makes me sob harder
"Again"
"Clear"
"It's not working"
"Shut up. Again!"
"Ok"
"Clear"
Please please please, I pray.
Please let her survive
I hear a long loud noise from the machine
"She's gone"
The doctor hands the paddles to a nurse and starts giving her CPR
"Give her 1 c.f. of Epinephrine and 10 of Atropine now"
A nurse grabs two needles and injects her with them
"Sir, she's gone, we should call it"
Call what?
Call WHAT?
The doctor ignores him and keeps doing chest compressions
"Time of death, 9:37 pm", a nurse says
"No", I sob
No no
She can't be dead
I can't, not again
No
I'm leaning against the wall sobbing hysterically when I hear a beeping sound
"She's back!", the doctor shouts, "Her heartbeat is back. Give me the paddles!"
He shocks her again and the machine goes back to the regular beeping sound
"Weak but stable for now."
"Prep for emergency surgery. Go!"
The nurses start wheeling her away from me
I make a move to go with her but a nurse stops me
"I'm sorry but you can't go with her"
"But.."
"She's going to be in surgery for what looks like a while."
"What do I do?", I ask, tears still falling
"I'm sorry. I know it's hard but you have to wait."
"Wait?", I repeated
"Yes. You have to wait in the waiting room. You also have to fill out paperwork and answer questions"
"Paperwork? You have paper work on her. She was here last year."
"What's her name?"
"Joanne Russo"
She nods, "Ok but you still have to wait in the waiting room. We're going to do everything to save her."
"I..I..I.."
She motions for a nurse to lead me to a waiting room
When I get there I use the phone and call Namjoon
---------------------------
I have been sitting in this damn waiting room for hours
Namjoon and the guys came as soon as I called and they've been waiting with me
They were shocked when they heard she was still alive
Shocked and praying she'd make it
The guys are all asleep except for Namjoon and Hobi.
We're watching the T.V. and something flashes on the screen
"Breaking news"
"BTS rapper Suga, real name Min, Yoongi, was seen running into this hospital's emergency room carrying a bloody girl"
"Shit", I whisper
A clip plays, showing me running in the room screaming for help
"Help. She needs help! She's going to die. Please don't let her die!"
It cuts back to the reporter
"According to the clip Min, Yoongi states that the young woman was stabbed and shot."
The screen cuts back to the clip
"She was stabbed and shot", I hear my voice.
"By who?"
"Han-jae Hwung", I hear myself scream, "But please help her. Save her. I love her. Please"
Fuck
This is going to be a problem
Not for me because I don't give a shit but for the managers and the company
And the guys
I feel bad for them but at the same time I don't.
Because I don't care about shit like this and media coverage
I don't care if everyone knows I love her
But the managers will
They'll care about us losing fans because it'll get out that one of us is dating
But I don't
I would rather lose all our fans if it means she's alive
"An hour later the rest of BTS show up at the hospital."
A clip plays of the guys running into the hospital
They get to me and I see myself explaining to them that she's alive
"What?", Hobi yells in the video
"Thank god!", Jin proclaims
"She's going to be ok, right?", I hear Jungkook say on the tv right before he starts to cry again
Tae puts an arm around him to comfort him
Back to the reporter
"There are many questions left unanswered. What does BTS know about this crime committed to this woman? Who is this woman that brings out so much emotion in the members? And did she survive?"
"Well this is gonna suck", Namjoon says
"Yeah after everything we're gonna have to deal with this petty shit", Hobi adds
"I'm not dealing with anything. I don't care.", I say
"Don't worry Yoongi, we'll handle it", Namjoon says
"Thanks", I nod at him
I hope someone comes out to talk to us soon
I need to hear that she's alive
I need it
---------------------------
A few hours later a doctor comes into the waiting room
He's wearing scrubs
Bloody scrubs
"Min, Yoongi?", he calls
I jump up and he comes over to me
"Please. Sit", he says and I do
The rest of the guys come and sit around me
"Is she ok?", Jungkook blurted out
"As much as can be expected"
I breathe a sigh of relief
"She's stable for now but in critical condition."
"What does that mean?", Tae asks
"It means that while she is stable for now, something can go wrong. And honestly we are not sure if she will survive the night."
"What", I choke out
She has to survive
She survived all this, she can't die
"Her injuries were extremely extensive. She's being monitored round the clock in the intensive care ward. It's a miracle she survived with the condition she was in"
"Can I see her?", I ask
I need to see her, be with her in case....
Fuck
"In a little while, yes.", the doctor said
I nod
"It was also a complete miracle we were able to save the baby"
My eyes snap up to him
"Baby? What baby?", I asked completely shocked
His eyes widen, "You didn't know? She's four months pregnant."
"What?", I whisper
"Yes. It was very fortunate that she was not stabbed in the stomach. In fact, except for a bruise, her stomach was completely left alone."
"Wha..What?", I stutter
"We suspect that the assailant was sitting on her stomach to hold her down while he attacked her. That would explain why there's no injury there."
"Oh god", I whisper
"She does have some defensive wounds on her hands which means she fought back."
Of course she fought back.
She's a fighter
It's one of the things I love about her
"I need to explain a few things to you about her injuries. I need to report them to the police and I want you to hear them from me first."
I nod
"I'm sorry to tell you these things and it will be difficult to hear."
"I know", I said
"I read her the files we have on her. And needless to say this attack was much worse."
Obviously
She wasn't stabbed or shot last time
"Joanne has severe injuries. She was stabbed 13 times, with her arms taking most of the wounds. Other areas that were stabbed are her calf that was very deep, her shoulder blade, her chest, her side, her collarbone and her back. Her arm was severely cut open from one of the stab wounds, when it was dragged down her arm. We repaired it as best we could and hopefully with physical therapy, she'll be able to gain full motion of her arm back. The plate put in her arm from last year has knife marks indented on it, so we replaced those"
I'm numb as I listen to him
She was stabbed thirteen times
Who does that to someone?
Someone they supposedly love?
"Some cuts were shallow and others deep and we stitched and stapled them closed."
I bite my lip to keep from falling apart
"The knife that was removed from her collarbone, shattered it and we had to put pins and a plate in place to repair it."
I just sit there listening to what my baby had to go through with tears falling down my face
Again
"She was shot four times. Once in the shoulder, once in the thigh, once her forearm and once by her head. We took out three bullets. Thankfully she was just grazed in the head by the fourth bullet and not actually shot."
"Yeah great", I say sarcastically
"It really is fortunate Mr. Min. If that bullet went in her head, she would have died instantly."
I close my eyes for a second, just trying not to flip out
He continues, "Two ribs broke and one of them punctured her lung. It was repaired and a chest tube was inserted to help drain the air and expand her lung. We had to leave it in for now"
I guess that was the wet sound I heard when she breathed during the face time
"Most of her left orbital bone shattered. It's a miracle her eye was not injured. The pins put in last year completely broke as well so new pins were put in to help repair it as well as plates to strengthen the bone. She cannot get hit there with force again. If she does the bone will collapse completely and she will lose her eye. It can't be repaired again."
"No oh my god!", Hobi yells out, "Oh god!"
Jesus Christ
She can lose her eye
Fucking hell
I'm going to murder Han-jae
I should of killed him the first time I found him hurting her
"I'm sorry. Her right eye had a very large deep cut from her forehead to her jaw. Her eyelid was cut too but not as severe as her face. Thankfully her eye was not injured and we stitched the wound closed"
She could have lost both her eyes because of that bastard
This is fucking insane
"She was hit in the jaw multiple times which caused some breaks in the bone. Again, we put pins in place to repair it and had to wire her jaw shut. It has to stay that way at least for the first part of her recovery. She will be on a liquid diet and we will monitor her and the baby while she is. We will make sure the baby gets the nutrition it needs"
"Shit", Jin whispers
"She lost a lot of blood and we did give her blood during surgery. We were not able to give her much anesthesia during the surgery. Normally it is safe for pregnant women but with her body in it's weak state and that fact that she flatlined once, we made the decision to not use much, if any. Thankfully she was unconscious for most of the surgery."
Most?
Did he say most?
"She woke up?" I gasp
"I wouldn't say wake up like we think about it. She made some sounds and we gave her as little as possible to keep her unconscious.
Unfortunately, we took x-rays before we found out she's pregnant. We've done everything since to protect the baby."
Fuck this is so much to take in at once
"Joanne also has a concussion but I'm happy to say that she did not flatline during the surgery like she did in the emergency room or during surgery last year."
I nod
I don't know what to feel right now
I'm happy that she's alive but I'm heartbroken, upset and so fucking angry that she's in this condition
And honestly I'm wondering how she survived all this
It really is a miracle
I hope she survives the night
She has to
"Mr. Min?"
I snap out of my thoughts and look up at the doctor.
"I was saying that even though she did not flatline her heart is still weak. She hasn't woken up and right now all we can do is wait for her to wake up on her own"
"O...ok", I whisper
"She's in recovery right now and I'll let the nurses know to get you in a little bit. I'm sorry but only one person is allowed in the intensive care at a time"
"That's fine. It's fine", Namjoon says,
"We just want to know she's ok"
The doctor nods then turns to leave
"Wait!", I say
"Yes?", he says as he turns to me
"The baby. Wha..what is it?", I ask
"A boy. You're going to have a son", he says
A boy
My boy
My baby is giving me a boy.
I actually smile a little bit
"Congratulations", the doctor says then leaves
"Congratulations Yoongi!", Namjoon says hugging me, "She's alive and you're having a baby!"
"Yeah", I say
"She'll make it Yoongi. She will. She's strong", Hobi tells me
"She's a fighter", Jimin adds
I nod
I know she is
She's been like that her whole life
I sigh in some sort of relief and wait to be brought to her
---------------------------
Half an hour later a nurse brings me to the intensive care
I told the guys they didn't have to stay
I told them to handle the media however they wanted
To tell them whatever they wanted
I really don't care
I'm brought to a room and I go inside
I see her in the bed, hooked up to all kinds of wires and I instantly break down
She looks so small in the huge bed, a bandage on her head and one over her eye, her face covered in bruises and stitches
I go over to the chair next to her bed and collapse on it
I take her hand and hold it desperately, putting my head on the bed and crying
"Please Jo. Please wake up. Don't leave me. I love you. I love you so much", I beg, to her, to the world, to god, to whoever, "Please baby. Don't go."
I reach up and stroke her hair, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I wasn't there. I broke my promise and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you."
There's no reaction from her and it tears me up inside
"We're gonna have a baby", I choke out, touching her stomach
"A boy. Our son. He needs his mom to live so he can be born. He needs his mom. I need you. Please jagi, please."
I lay my head down again, gripping her hand tightly and I just cry.

queer and feelin longing emotions and thinkin bout shortcake and the harleyyyhhh: when she first sees you shes like 👁👄👁 speechless, How could you possibly get hotter??? ure driving into frankie's driveway because you all are carpooling to meet the guys for a night out. she meets u in a daze at the end of the drive while youre taking the keys out of the ignition.
"i didnt know you owned a motercycle" she says, her face growing warm while u kick out the kickstand.
"oh um, yeah! i do!" you say with a nervous chuckle; your heart always races when youre around shortcake, but you've never seen her look at you Quite like this.
"why do i never see you riding it?" she asks, glancing down every so often as you absent mindedly start fidgeting, rubbing ur hands against the seat and the handle bars.
"ummm, i really only ride it when i need to think on some stuff or when i need to calm down," you explain. "its also really impractical for days i have a certain way i want my hair to look" u chuckle as u unclick the buckle to your helmet and hope, as youre taking it off, that your helmet hair isnt unseemly today.
"is everything okay? have you been on edge lately?" she asks, her brow furrowed. you smile at her but it doesnt quite meet your eyes.
"a little, but i'm working through it" you respond, you grasp the handle bars a little harder, u hadnt meant to let That slip.
shortcake seems unsure but after a moment she reaches out to gently lay her hand atop yours and u loosen ur grasp. "is there anything i can do to help?" she asks softly, kindly. you feel so Seen, so Loved; shes only touching your hand but you can feel the warmth of it through your entire body. "i'll uhhhh i'll let you know?" you leave it open ended, because you dont Think its possible for her to help you with your growing feelings....But you Never Know. the answer seems to appease her, for now at least.
youre together in this moment quietly, contently, a single innocent touch and your gaze at one another are all that connects one another to the present. you hear the front door of the house open and shut, you both suddenly move your hands away; the self depricating thoughts, quickening heart rates, and warm faces are all that you share now.
"hey, nice to see you bringin the ol girl out for a change" frankie says while walking towards the two of you. he raises an eyebrow at you, "you good?"
you nod, "i will be." he nods back, knowing. that sometimes you arent ready to talk about what thoughts ail you.
"oh hey your hair is a little..." he starts, moving his hand up to you head before stopping, "can i uhhh-" "oh yeah sure, thanks" you say, quickly. as frankie messes with your hair, you feel your stomach do flips and shortcake admires how sweet you look together.
he steps back admiring you- his amazing skills as a hair stylist, "better than ever" he says with a grin.
"oh wait hold on, you missed something can i just real quick" shortcake says, searching for consent. you nod you head at her and now she hands taking back stray pieces or smoothing out others. you shiver slightly as she tucks your hair behind your ear? you arent sure she actually moved anything that time. frankie is watching the two of you intently; he loves the careful way she tends to you and the way your eyes flutter shut every so often.
she moves back, and says "there, now we're good" with a soft smile. frankie smiles at her and gives her a quick peck on the cheek, "i love your attention to detail," he says, adoration in his eyes as she giggles.
"thanks," you whisper. you dont want to ruin this moment with your feelings butting in; they are so happy together, you wish so desperately you could make Them that happy.
frankie pats his pockets until he finds and fishes out his keys, "i'll go start the car, you can set your helmet inside the garage if you want?" he offers. "that'd be great thank you," you say, unstraddling the bike and the couple, unbeknownst to the other, watch a tad too intently as you do.
shortcale shakes herself out of slightly inappropriate gaze and decided to walk you up to a garage, "i've never ridden a motercycle before, it seems like fun" she says, just to fill the silence.
you're quiet, comtemplating for a moment. "would you like to?"
she laughs out a breath "oh i would love too. its a shame you dont have a second helmet, we could ride together"
you glance at her and grin a little before turning around to call out, "hey frankie? you still got that helmet i leant u?"
(idk why im writing i Got homework to do and like i keep thinking tumblr is gonna cut me off with a word count or a character limit but No they just let me Keep Going for like AN HOUR, anyways 👄👁👄
Anon I offer you my hand in marriage the dowry is easy: just keep sending me asks (also go do your homework babes!!)
I absolutely LOVE THIS AAAAA
Also the thought of shortcake going for a ride with you hhh. Her arms are tight around your waist and the engine is rumbling in her ears as shes pressed against your back, it makes you grip the handlebars tighter and at a stoplight you have to take a deep breath to calm yourself. She's never ridden a motorcycle before but in the moment, cruising down the road with her arms around you, she feels safe and secure and wants it to last forever.
Frankie walks outside just as you pull up the driveway.
"How was it?"
Shortcake tugs the helmet off with a giggle and he takes in her wild hair. "So much fun! I never knew it'd be so relaxing."
She never knew how nice it felt to have you in her arms.
Frankie ignores the way his heart hammers wildly in his chest by seeing the way shortcake, his girlfriend, stares as you lean on the handlebars of your bike. He sees her flushed face and hears the hitch in her breathe when she looks at you.
He tells himself it's from the weather. It has to be. Theres no way she feels the same way for you as he does. That's just his own mind taunting him with a fantasy.
That's just him being selfish.
"I should probably head out." Your voice breaks them both out of their own head. Both members of the couple you dreamed of each night wearing a face like a kicked puppy.
"Are you sure? You can stay for dinner if you want-"
"We can order takeout and-"
You hold your hands up in an apologetic gesture. "As fun as its be to watch you guys argue over pizza toppings again, I'll have to pass. I've got an early shift tomorrow. I should get home before it's late so I can get some sleep."
The hand that frankie held on his girlfriend's waist tightened as you backed out of the driveway and into the street with a final wave.
He knew you didn't work tomorrow
"Is she gonna be alright?" Shortcake's voice was tiny, barely heard over the roar of your engine as you drove off.
Frankie knew you were going to spend the whole night driving without a destination.
"Yeah." He pressed a comforting kiss to her temple. "She's alright, just needs to clear her head. We all get like that."
He knew at somepoint in the night you'd stop at that one 24-hour dinner you loved, he would probably stay up and meet you there. If you didnt want to talk about what was bothering you that'd be fine. He would simply order himself a burger as the two of you spoke about whatever nonsense came to mind at 3am before leaving, usually with you following him home and crashing on his couch.
You hadn't done that in a long time. He wonders why.
"I worry about her."
Ah. Right. That's why.
Shortcake leaned her head on his shoulder and he felt a steady thrum in his chest.
"Me too."
Maube he would take her with him tonight. She'd like the fries.
