Exam Season

The Diamonds x Reader Summary: As the semester draws to an end, finals are approaching and you struggle to balance studying and your relationship with the Diamonds. Wordcount: 4.3k More than open to criticism; this is my first time writing in years and I’m ESL, so I’ll take everything I can get.Feel free to chat me up on discord and on here … I'm happy to exchange sketches and wips, I got plenty! imbutahumblefarmer#5583 "You guys, I'm fine!"

It was your third time saying this exact same sentence while White Diamond strained herself to take up the whole screen in front of you.

Coupled with an awkward laugh, everyone would have figured out that you were lying by now. Everyone except for the Diamonds, of course.

They were a strange trio; completely unrecognizable from when you first had met them. In the place of the terrifying space dictators who had tried to squish you like a bug at Garnet's wedding were now three socially inept women with too much free time and nothing to do.

And they were endearing in their own way. Just like now.

An exasperated sigh could be heard through the connection, the screen whisked away by large, yellow hands. (White's stunned gasp was pointedly ignored, however.)

Yellow Diamond's face appeared in full on your little gemtech tablet, a curious Blue peeking over her shoulder. Her features were rough as always, one could be quick to assume that she was bored, but you knew better.

By the way her eyes narrowed, she didn't buy your shtick at all. A cool, calculated gaze met yours and you prepared yourself for the scolding that was about to come.

"... If you say so", her answer sounded oddly clipped, even for her.

Letting out a deep breath, you tried your best to smile at her and you could feel how fake it looked. Yellow just blinked at you, a hand leisurely supporting her cheek.

"Haha, yeah", you said in another attempt to calm them. They barely understood what university was, and if they caught wind of you being miserable, they would come and flatten your faculty. Or something. You didn’t want to deal with that. “It’s all over in two weeks, then I can come over… if I pass, that is”, you mumbled the last part under your breath, mentally freaking out a little. Only two weeks left … it felt like forever and nothing at all at the same time. “Two weeks?! That’s so long!”, White’s whine sounded off-screen, prompting Yellow and Blue to give her curt look, Yellow’s face contorting for a split second. “Are you serious?”, you had to suppress the laugh that bubbled in your throat. Whatever they did, they always put you in a better mood, intentionally or not. “You guys are thousands of years old, this should be like a minute for you, theoretically.” Yellow blinked at you again, her full attention shifting back to you. “We are aware. But every moment without you is torture.” This time, you laughed for real. Despite Yellow’s deadpan, she could be the cheesiest one of them at any given time. “Guys…!”

“Oh, but it’s true!”, Blue’s soft brogue interrupted your fussing. Yellow turned the device to face her, giving you two a moment. “You know we love you”, she smiled at you. You could feel yourself melting at the sight. “I miss you, I really do. I’ll get Steven to warp me to you immediately after the last exam, I promise.” It was the most you could do and it would already complicate things. But you couldn’t stand to see them like this. This seemed to be enough for Blue at least. She gazed at you in silence for a moment and nodded. With a flurry of colors, your eyes were burned by White’s pouting face again. “If you must, but not a second longer!” You sighed, grinning at her. “Of course.” A gaze at your wrist watch nearly made you recoil in horror. It was way too late already and you still had to do some revisions on unit 23! “Anyways, I really have to sleep now. Y’know, my organic needs and all...” You were a bad liar, but it did the trick on White. She looked like a moping child after their toy had been taken away. She made the most disappointed, dramatic noise while pushing the device from her to give you a look at the others. Blue gave you a little wave, still smiling sweetly. “Okay guys, I’ll call you the day after tomorrow, alright?” They nodded in unison, biding their goodbyes. Before you could switch your screen off, Yellow opened her mouth for one last message. “If anyone is giving you trouble, tell us.” With a hasty bow of your head and one last wave, you pressed the off button, your room now considerably darker again.

Your wrist watch beeped. Back to work.

Nervously tapping your pencil on an old worksheet, you tried to figure out a way how to solve the problem - you didn’t understand it back when you discussed it in class and you still didn’t understand it now. Your wrist watch gave a short beep, your signal to call the Diamonds in fifteen minutes. The break was more than welcome, maybe thinking about something else would give you a fresh eye. Tugging at your hair with a hairbrush, you hummed absentmindedly. You hadn’t really done anything today or yesterday that was worth reporting, but that never stopped the diamond’s from calling you. They simply did the talking themselves. Checking your appearance one last time in the mirror, you gave yourself a satisfied nod. Your eye bags had seen better days, but there was nothing you could do about it right now. Your thoughts were interrupted by a sudden, stark white light coming from your window. Turning your head comically slow to the source, you had a gut feeling who this could be. One of White Diamond’s eyes peaked excitedly into your studio apartment. It widened when you gave a hesitant wave. Your gut was right. “Hello, starlight!”, her voice was loud, too loud for 10 pm on a weekday. If the sudden arrival of three giant aliens didn’t get you in trouble, this would. When you didn’t answer, she brought a nail to the glass, impatiently tapping it. You were lucky it didn’t shatter on impact. “Darling”, she sang. “Come out, we came all the way to see you!” You had to shake yourself out of the trance you were in - you knew how clingy and protective they were, but this was new. Making your way to your window, you could already hear the noise rising in your neighbor’s apartment. Great. You just hoped they wouldn’t terminate your lease for this. When you finally opened the window, White’s massive hand plucked from the ground and plopped you into her other one. Indeed, all three stood in your parking lot, now hunched over to get a better look at you. “Hi guys”, you squealed, straining your neck to meet their eyes. Three faces beamed back at you, their total lack of situational awareness really showing. “Instead of calling you, we decided to visit you instead! A nice surprise, isn’t it?”, proclaimed White proudly as if she had just solved all of mankind’s problems single handedly. Blue and Yellow nodded enthusiastically next to her. You probably should be mad, but how could you? “Look, I really appreciate this”, you sighed. “But we really have to go somewhere else - people are already waking up. And it might get me in trouble.” That got you a collective ‘oh’ out of them. “Where is the ship anyway?”

You didn’t know how they managed it, but they had found an empty space large enough for the leg-less space giant. Apparently, they had walked the rest of the way and without damaging anything at that. You felt a little proud. The mental image still made you chuckle. “Okay guys, why did you come in person?”, you crossed your arms, while they sat around you in White’s head. “I thought we had a deal - I call you every 48 hours, you stay on Homeworld.” Blue and White evaded your eyes at your scolding tone, but Yellow held your gaze steadily.

"It was fairly obvious that you were not well at all despite your insistence otherwise", she offered her hand for you to climb on, and you did. "You have to take care of yourself, you are very fragile."

Now it was your turn to avoid her stare, feeling guilty. She was right, but you just didn't have the time. There was so much material to go through, so much to memorize. What could sleeping two hours less a night do? It was only for a short period of time, anyway.

And even if you struggled with anxiety and exhaustion, you didn't want to burden them. It was bad enough that you were gone for the semester, telling them how you really felt would be overkill.

But now the jig was up. You should have known that Yellow was an expert when it came to observation and you had probably hurt them even more with your lie.

"I'm so sorry", it was like someone had opened the valve and now you were pathetically blubbering. "I just… didn't want to worry you, is all."

Seeing your distress, Blue immediately pulled closer to you, a tentative finger rubbing the crown of your head.

"Little one, you know you can tell us everything. We care for you and want to help you", she cooed at you, shooting you a smile.

"You organics are so weak to stress, apply a little pressure and - poof - you just break", declared White, a finger up in the air to call attention to her great wisdom.

The stroking on your head stopped abruptly, replaced by shaking.

"Don't… say that", Blue voice was trembling, clearly on the verge of crying. As if on cue, you and Yellow scrambled to console her.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's just a little difficult right now", you turned to her, smiling.

"She is an excellent specimen and very durable, Blue", Yellow's tone was a bit more pragmatic, but honest. It was also a nice compliment, coming from her.

"Yes, this isn't the first time I'm dealing with exams", you reached out to pat her finger. "It's going to be okay, even if I don't pass."

"... really?", Blue looked at you with big, questioning eyes. "Please don't lie, you know I couldn't stand to see you - "

A shuddering breath followed. "Stars, I can't even say it."

You were scooped up by her hands and pressed against her soft cheek.

They were all experts in dramatics, but Blue was especially sensitive when it came to your mortality. The first time you had explained your lifespan and the many ways one could die to her in detail, you weren't allowed to leave her for a week. She had known how short human lives were, but this! Unacceptable.

She even made you eat nothing but mush during those seven days, too afraid of this 'choking'.

In the end, you talked her out of it. But it was a big factor when it came to your living situation. They wanted to spend every moment with you, savoring your presence.

You tried to reciprocate the cuddling by embracing her as best as you could. She let out a soft sigh, holding you a little closer. After a minute of silent embracing, she reluctantly put you back in Yellow’s hand. “We’re always there for you, no matter what”, she told you in a gentle tone, the other two nodding in agreement. “If you need me to talk to one of these organics, darling, don’t hesitate to tell me!”, exclaimed White, a smile stretching her cheeks in the most unnatural way. A mental image of her hunched over one of your professors in their office made you a little… uneasy. “Thank you, but I can do that myself”, you laughed nervously. White didn’t look too satisfied with your answer, but seemed to accept it.

“And if it becomes too much, you’re always welcome to move in with us”, added Blue, making you flush. It wasn’t the first time you got that offer, but it was just too sweet. “M-maybe in a couple of years”, you stammered, which earned you a grumble from them. You coughed, feeling a little awkward to change the topic so suddenly. “Ehm, thank you guys - I don’t want to be rude, but I have to get back to studying pretty soon.” “But it’s already dark outside! Isn’t that when humans sleep - oh”, Blue said, suddenly struck by an epiphany. “Oh no, we kept you from sleeping!” You shook your head vehemently. “No, no, we don’t go to sleep the second it gets dark, guys. I think I might have explained this to you before. But I still have some stuff to do.” Of course it was White who interrupted the stunned silence first. “You don’t have a little more time for us? We came all the way...” Yellow joined in, her voice a little louder than anticipated. “Can’t you study here? With us?” “Guys, you can’t just park your ship here - without asking anyone - and keep it in this place for days! I’m gonna get in trouble”, you panicked a little at the thought. The only spot where this gigantic humanoid vessel could be placed was Beach City. Nobody would call the police or worse, the government, over this. “So you have to leave,” this hurt more to say than you’d like to admit. “Or you have to go to Steven, if you want to stay.” All three of them pulled incredibly sad faces, and Blue was close to crying again. You would be lying if it didn’t pull at your heart-strings. “We’re here to make sure you take care of yourself, spark. You’re packing your things and then we’ll stay at Steven’s house and help you study”, Yellow nearly shouted at you. It wasn’t malicious, just her expressing her genuine concern. A relic of times now gone. You thought about it for a second - you could take your books with you, as well as your laptop and notes. Classes were over for now, you only had to attend the exams in two weeks. Technically, you could do it. And with the look they were giving you and all their efforts to make you feel better, you agreed. How could you say no to your giant space ladies? Especially when they were bending over backwards to comfort you. Steven was even more surprised to see the four of you two hours later. You had texted him on the way, but it had been left unread. The Diamonds didn’t really care for announcing their visits, but even this was a bit sudden. After White had explained everything to him, he simply slinked back to bed, planning on discussing the logistics of the situation in the morning. You were allowed to sleep on the couch, but not without the protest of the Diamonds. You loved falling asleep with them around, though regarding the circumstances they would probably dote on you until you were wide awake. They also tended to fight over who got to be the one you would sleep on, and you didn’t have the nerves for that right now. When you left the beach house the next morning, you were greeted with the sight of the three of them practically camping in front of the deck. They had missed you that much, it seemed.

“Good morning, guys!”

You were greeted by various nicknames and excited faces, White the first one to scoop you up. Behind your back, Steven groaned in his cup. “So, what have you planned, darling?”, her voice was chipper as ever, her bright eyes burning your retinas. Maybe Steven was right and it was just a little too early, but no take-backs now. “About that...”, you scratched your cheek in slight discomfort. “I have to study the whole day.” White’s fell immediately, clearly stunned. “I told you yesterday - I have things to do, but you can keep me company. Maybe even help me?” She blinked at you once, the gears in her head clearly turning. Then she gave you an eye-watering smile. “Whatever this studying is, we’ll help you!” You groaned internally. How many times had you explained it to her already?

It went better than you initially expected. The weather outside was nice and warm, the beach calm enough to simply set up a little picnic blanket with your books and notes. (You left your laptop inside, not wanting to get sand into it.) Surrounded by three (surprisingly silent) giant figures watching your every move, you got to work. It was a little awkward at first, but you fell into a routine soon enough. Each of them had her own unique way of helping you; Blue would simply nod and smile when you tried to regurgitate the material to her, White would go on a tangent whenever she recognized something you were talking about, earning her a warning glare from Yellow. Yellow herself would try to quiz you on whatever notes you had pulled up on your gemtech tablet (they were surprisingly resistant to sand). It quickly became one of the most successful days so far, you were impressed. Being with them kept you grounded, they were like a calming aura to keep your anxiety at bay. And they were extremely helpful. It was almost comical, you had to admit. At the end of the day, you were finally able to pack up your books and enjoy the evening with them. It felt good to know that you had managed to get so much done today. You were strangely at ease, their presence strengthening you. You did worry however, that this routine might get boring for them - it wasn’t like the nice things you did usually, it wasn’t playful, entertaining or relaxing. You didn’t want to force them into staying with you, you didn’t want to bore them. With a sigh you shouldered your tote bag, still too caught up in your head. Your sudden shift in mood didn’t go unnoticed. “Little one, are you alright?”, Blue crouched down next to you, her soft eyes glowing in the dusk, her form crowding you in shade.

You looked up to her, a little unsure on how to word your feelings.

"It's just", you opened and closed the fist around your bag straps. "Did you enjoy today? Was it dull? I-I still have two weeks to go and it's gonna stay the same, pretty much."

She sighed, her tense shoulders slacking.

"We enjoy your company", she gave you a smile. "We haven't spent time with each other in such a long time, starlight. If we were able to accompany every second of your life, we would."

She offered you a hand and you happily jumped on it, a little flustered at her words. They were so serious, so heartfelt. Sometimes you did forget that they were older than civilization on earth, that they would outlive you by eons.

"Thank you, Blue", you peered up at her, a relieved smile appearing on your face. "Your company helps me so much, you know? It would mean the world to me if you stayed with me until the exam."

Luckily for you, Steven had given you permission to stay on the beach - you were also allowed to sleep on the couch, but you knew you'd have to stay with the Diamonds. It was the least you could do to pay them back, even if it was just this little thing.

And this was exactly how you spent the last days leading up to your finals, either sprawled on the picnic blanket on the beach, sitting on the deck with your laptop or, when the weather didn't allow it, lounging on the couch or on the ship. You were surrounded by Blue, Yellow and White at all times, each of them trying her best to help you with the material. They kept you on track, making sure you didn't procrastinate too much (even if that meant less cuddles) and nipped any self-doubts you had in the bud.

Even as the date got dangerously close, they still patiently calmed you down. When your panic got too bad, one of them made sure to keep you close, either putting you into her lap or patting your head. At night, they talked to you until you fell asleep and woke you up better than your little phone alarm could ever do. You knew that even if you didn't pass, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Still, you were an anxious mess when the first exam rolled around, your mind a thousand miles away as you got ready to go to uni and to give it your all. Not even the Diamonds were able to calm you down, but you knew you just had to get it done and over with. The week was a blur, days blending into each other, your head always buried in a book. You were lucky that they had stayed behind with Steven, only calling you at the end of the day. While the fussing had been helpful beforehand, now it would only hinder you.

Before you could really settle into a routine, finals were over, leaving you with a weird emptiness and a restless feeling. Now all you had to do was wait for the results, a special kind of torture in itself.

The Diamonds noticed how absent you were, but no amount of well-meaning words could shake your nervousness. You didn't mean to cause them any further stress, but it was tough to keep your mind off things.

When the results were finally posted online, your heart threatened to burst out of your chest, your mouth dry and your hands shaking. You knew there was nothing you could do now, but the thought of weeks of studying going to waste was nearly unbearable. A dozen scenarios ran through your head, not one overly positive.

Once the browser had pulled up your account, the answer was a simple click away. You had to steel yourself by gripping the edge of the table - the Diamonds were waiting outside impatiently, you knew they would lose it if they saw you like this.

With one last breath, you closed your eyes and did what had to be done.

The page was on full display in a matter of milliseconds, your eyes frantically searching for the right column, moving erratically up and down.

Finally you found what you were looking for: you had passed. In a moment of disbelief, you reread the page again, but it was there in tiny black letters.

It was like someone had knocked all the air out of you with a single hit, your heart wasn't done with beating fast, but at least some of the nervousness slowly dissipated.

The realization took a while to settle in as you deflated in your seat like beach ball slowly losing air. You stared at the wall, a smile cautiously spreading on your face as if you were afraid that too much joy would nullify your results. But after a solid minute, not even your stress-addled mind fog could hold you back from jumping out of your seat in joy.

Busting through the door, you cheered loudly while you ran across the deck, immediately focusing all attention on you. Steven had distracted the Diamonds to give you some time and space, but at the sound of your happy shouting they instantly turned around, faces unsure for a second.

You raced through the sand, arms in the air, relieved laughter pouring out of your mouth like a steady stream. It was probably not the most flattering or mature look, but you couldn't care less.

"I passed!", with one last cry you came to a grinding halt in front of them, only to jump up into the air. "I did it! Ha!"

Blue's face was the first to soften into a tender smile, her expression clearly full of pride, followed by White who looked at you in excitement.

Yellow only blinked at you for a moment before she erupted in delighted laughter and scooped you up without a word, her eyes beaming with glee. It was rare for her to lose her composure like this, but that made it all the more sweet. You shot back the biggest grin you could manage, positively vibrating in her palm.

"We're so proud of you, little one", Blue's voice came out as a gentle sigh, stress falling off her back you didn't even know she had felt. It made you stop for a moment, finally grasping how your situation had affected them and how much they cared for you.

You teared up in an instant, the sudden change of feelings giving you whiplash, your heart suddenly bubbling with love and gratefulness. It was unbelievable how lucky you were, you realized.

At the sight of your sniffling face, Yellow brought you closer to her, her eyes full of warmth. It was as if she was shielding you from the others for just a moment of privacy.

"No reason to cry, spark", her tone was as soft as the look she gave you and did exactly the opposite: you couldn't help but let some tears slip down your cheeks, babbling about how happy you were to have passed and to be with them, while she smiled at you in slight amusement.

The moment was interrupted by an awkward Steven coughing not-so-subtly into his fist.

"Okay, I’ll, uh, leave you guys to it?", his voice reached a clumsy high, he clearly felt like he was disturbing something.

The Diamonds didn't really notice however, they just happily sent him off and turned their attention back to you. You were showered in affection and soft words, they were genuinely happy for you and even more ecstatic to have you all for themselves for a couple of weeks. As you listened to White ramble on and on about what she had planned for you during this break, you felt the pressure lift itself from you. All this stress had been worth it and now you were rewarded with all the love you could ever ask for. You knew that this was where you belonged.

Out of the Cold, Out of the Cavern

Type: Fan fiction (PatB) / Self-insert/Y/N/OC (sort of...) Genre: Hurt/Comfort (what else?) Words: 4,841 Rating: K+

Fan Fiction Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13724127/1/Out-of-the-Cold-Out-of-the-Cavern

As usual, I recommend the fan fiction version, which includes all of the italicized words.

Thanks to @shuunthenonbeliever, I was inspired to finally write this. :)

“One-sixty… one-eighty… two hundred,” the plump woman said, sliding a packet of bills off her jewel-laden fingers and into yours, like water pouring out of a spout.

“Thank you,” you replied, hesitant to pocket the load with those two, round, black eyes still staring at you, burrowing into your soul. They belonged to a young girl, nine or ten in age, perhaps, with short, auburn hair, her little white and turquoise dress bouncing up and down as she rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet, waiting, watching.

“She’ll need watch every weekday from three to nine,” instructed the woman, barely even looking at you or her daughter as she checked her purse for something. “If you have any trouble you have my work number.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

“But you’ll be no trouble. Will you, Elmyra?”

“Oh, no, Ma’am. Nopey nopey nope! We’re gonna have so much fun laughing and cuddling and playing with all my fuzzy whittle animals!” screeched the girl, in a voice that scratched like sandpaper.

“Yes, dear. Be good to your new babysitter, all right? Mommy has to go to work now.”

“Bye byeeeeeee!!” Elmyra waved, smiling widely in mock innocence as her mother stepped out the door.

“Bye,” you called out, a bit half-heartedly.

As soon as the door snapped closed, Elmyra turned to look at you expectantly, beaming.

“All right. She’s gone. You can go play with your pets,” you said.

“Yaaaaaaaay!! I’m coming, my fuzzy whuzzies!”

And off she hopped, skipping down the hall and around a corner ever so gayly, to a spot that you knew to be her bedroom, where all manner of horrible and unspeakable things happened.

You turned, leaned against the front door, and inhaled a long, deep breath of air, practically sliding against the thing as you counted out the greens in your hand -- one one-hundred, a fifty, a ten, and two twenties. Yep. Checked out.

You pocketed the loose change, paused, then got up and stuck it in your backpack instead. It’s not like it was going anywhere for a while. Besides, you hated carrying around more than you needed to in your small pants pockets.

Tossing the backpack next to the living room couch, you collapsed onto said couch and took a gander at your new surroundings.

It was a quaint little abode. Could have done with a new paint job, perhaps, but the yellow interior and old-style furniture wasn’t completely abhorrent. The whole cottage was rather cute, in its own weird way, sporting the occasional gothic chandelier that would have looked much more at home in Edward Scissorhands’ house, or a wastebasket that was far too frilly and posh to even be used for its original purpose. But the seating was comfortable, the cable was working, and, best of all, the fridge, stuffed to its seams, was, according to Mrs. Duff, 100% at your disposal. If there was anything that solidified a job offer for you, it was free food.

Not that the job was all chipper and charm. You knew what you were getting into when you took it, and the intermittent screams coming from Elmyra’s bedroom, as well as the cat that nearly bit your finger off from earlier as you tried to coax him out from under the kitchen table, were stark reminders of that. Everyone in the city of Burbank knew who the Duff family was, whether it was personally or from the horror stories passed down the school halls. Most who visited their house, unless they were a close family friend or relative, never wanted to step back in it again. It was common knowledge that you only went to Elmyra’s if you wanted a nice, long day of yelling and suffering, and all in your dorm would have rather died than take on the job of babysitter when it was posted online. But you took it. You took it… partially ‘cause you had no choice. What with a full-time college schedule and not much else in the cupboard save for ramen and three-day-old apples, cash was in short supply and desperately needed, and even though the last thing you’d rather do was keep watch over this kid, you also couldn’t find a job anywhere else. Besides, the pay was good. Excellent, in fact. Two hundred every Friday. You might even splurge on Chinese this weekend.

Sliding the remote off the thick, wooden table, you flipped through the channels, one-by-one, finally landing on National Geographic. The narrator was deep in discussion about the living habits of bats. Appropriate, you thought, as Elmyra flitted out of the room, make-shift cape trailing behind her and blindfold on, zoomed into the kitchen and grabbed a packet of cookies before zipping back into her room, sounding very much like a bat as she laughed in a loud, screeching tone the entire time. You did a double-take as she slammed the door behind her. Were there… other voices coming from the room? No. That’s silly. You shook your head. Crazy.

The next couple of hours went by surprisingly uneventfully; so much so, in fact, that you wondered if there was any basis in the rumors that floated around about the Duff residence being a literal “house of horror”. Some even said the place was haunted. It wasn’t until 6:55 PM, when you went to remind Elmyra that dinner was almost ready, that you got a whiff that things weren’t… quite what they seemed.

Of the menagerie loose throughout the house, Elmyra owned a total of one cat, a parrot, a turtle, and two white mice. The turtle hid. The parrot squawked. And the mice? The mice… talked.

“Narf! Hello there!” the taller of the two said, as you meandered into the room. You cocked an eyebrow and hesitantly lifted a hand to wave at him.

“Hi…,” you replied, a little taken aback.

The shorter mouse didn’t look up at you. His focus was heavily trained on a notepad rife with complex calculations far beyond your intellect. He was scribbling away as if his life depended on it. He also called you a “disposable hindrance”, albeit indirectly to his associate, something you didn’t entirely appreciate, but you also didn’t dare talk back. Not yet.

“Oooo. Munchie time! Come on, little mousies!” Elmyra cheered, and she grabbed both rodents tight around the neck with her short, groping fingers, stuffing them into her shirt pocket as she ran out of the room and in the direction of the kitchen.

You stood behind for a moment, nonplussed. Okay then.

A soft shuffling down the hallway made you turn. It was the cat. He still looked quite wary of you.

“Hey, kitty,” you cooed, gently but not in a childish fashion; more like you were simply greeting a friend. “You gonna let me pet you this time?” you asked, bending down and holding out a hand for him to sniff.

Tenderly, cautiously, the cat stepped up to you, wagging its tail slightly behind him. You narrowed your eyes. A wagging tail wasn’t necessarily a good thing, especially when it came to cats, but this was… different. The closer he got to you the more he wagged it, as if he was… excited? Curious? He sniffed your hand… and licked it. Odd. Then he peered up into your face, lolled out a long, pink tongue, and barked.

You sat back a little, wide-eyed, as the cat-dog jumped up onto your legs and actually started licking your face. It was… weird. Cute, but… weird.

After a few hearty licks, the cat, satisfied, jumped back down, scratched itself, and ran off to play with a ball. You wondered why he hadn’t come up to you before. Perhaps he still had more of the cat than the dog in him. You also now understood why some people claimed that this house was “haunted”. Two talking mice and a barking cat. Not exactly “spooky”, under your terms, but definitely unusual. You wondered what other treasures this quirky household held. Pirate bones? Dinosaurs? You had to admit it was rather exciting.

Shuffling back into the kitchen, you found Elmyra at the table, greedily shoveling the macaroni and cheese you’d made for her into her mouth as she watched a cartoon program on tv. The mice sat beside her in a little highchair, both now dressed as infants, the big-headed one looking absolutely miserable. Now and again, Elmyra would shovel a huge spoonful of mac and cheese into one or the other’s mouth against their will. Lanky mouse didn’t seem to mind it too much. Grumpy mouse turned to look at you with an expression that read: “shoot me”.

“Elmyra, be careful with how you feed your pets, okay? They might not like too much mac and cheese…,” you suggested, cautiously, frowning a little at the big-headed mouse in pity.

You knew, of course, about this kid’s harsh treatment of her pets. Everyone knew. But her parents were rich, and could probably buy out the police station and the A.S.P.C.A. if they’d wanted to, and so no one said anything. Still, as an animal-lover, you were curious. Just how badly did she handle her critters? Maybe you could do something to relieve their pain while you were there? And the situation was bad, certainly, but you’d seen worse, and there was only so much you could say besides, at least while she was awake. Too much rebellion and you’d probably be fired. That being said, you fully intended to assist in giving the poor things a little reprieve once Elmyra went to bed in an hour, and so you let the macaroni-shoveling slide… for now.

8:00 PM came and went, with little deviation from the norm aside from Elmyra quickly popping into the kitchen again at 7:23 PM, opening the freezer, and succinctly closing it before racing back into her bedroom. You shrugged at the gesture, barely turning around from the tv, figuring she probably just went to grab some ice cream. Thankfully, Elmyra not only went to bed early, but also was a heavy sleeper, so by the time 8:15 rolled around she was already obediently in bed and snoring, needing only a reminder from you ten minutes prior. The lanky mouse opened an eye as you peeked in. He was sleeping in the bed with her.

“Sorry,” you muttered, making to close the door, but the little mouse sat up.

“Wait! D-Do you mind checking on Brain? Elmyra said he went to Antarctica, but… he hasn’t been back in a while. You’ll go look for him, won’t you?” he asked, twisting his tail as he said it.

“Sure. I’ll look for him,” you responded pleasantly, and you meant it. The mouse smiled.

“Oh, thank you!” he whispered, tucking back into bed. “Good night!”

“Night,” you whispered back, closing the door softly behind you.

You frowned. Antarctica? More than likely, cranky mouse was simply hiding somewhere, but internally you promised to keep an eye out and check a few cupboards.

Several drawers, a pantry, numerous cupboards, and a couple of closets later and you still couldn’t find the little mouse. You even checked the higher areas of the house, wondering if “Antarctica” meant somewhere scalable and colder. Your first thought, of course, had been the freezer, but that was preposterous. She wouldn’t be that cruel. Would she…?

Out of pure curiosity, you headed back into the kitchen, grabbing a bowl from a cupboard as you did so. You were hungry anyway and figured that a hearty helping of ice cream before you left in half an hour certainly couldn’t hurt. You had free reign of the fridge, after all.

You set down your little blue bowl on the counter. You grabbed a spoon from a drawer and set it in the bowl. You even snatched a couple of Oreo cookies from an Oreo cookie box nearby and plopped them next to the bowl for good measure. Could never be too careful.

Noticing that Elmyra had left a box of frozen fruit pops on the counter without putting them back, you shook your head, grabbed it, opened the freezer door…… and dropped the box onto the floor with a loud plop. Hastily, you whipped off your red sweater, reached into the freezer, and pulled out a little white ball of frozen fur and whiskers.

“Oh, you poor baby,” you cooed, cradling the small mouse in your sweater as if he were precious cargo. You tittered. “Goodness. You poor thing. She actually put you in here??”

Closing the freezer door, you brought the mouse up close, pressing a finger to where his heart would be. His eyes were shut tight, and he was curled so firmly about himself that it took a little doing to get your finger up to his chest. He didn’t stir as you moved him about. There was a heartbeat… barely, faint as a whisper. It was a miracle he was still alive.

Almost instinctively, you cupped him in your hands, brought him over to the sink, and slowly turned on the faucet, checking that the water was lukewarm before carefully sticking him under the steady stream. You didn’t want it too hot right off the bat. Even a warm temperature might be a shock.

Two minutes later, after you’d let the (hopefully) stimulating mini waterfall wash over him, you turned off the faucet and proceeded to dry him off with a towel -- softly; slowly. He still hadn’t stirred, not even a little, and you gulped. Were you too late..?

8:35 PM. The stillness of the night, save for the now dimmed volume of the television, found you sitting once more on the couch, this time with a fuzzy occupant in hand. Big-headed mousie -- the… Brain… he was called? -- lay cradled in your arms, encompassed about with a very soft, very woolly blanket indeed. It was the fluffiest you could find in the house. Nothing less would suffice, in your mind. You could only imagine how frightening of an ordeal it must have been, shivering, cowering in a freezer for an hour, not knowing if the next breath you took would be your last….

A thumb gently stroked the snow white fur of the sleeping mouse, and you couldn’t help but massage that oversized head of his from time to time, muttering to him in soothing tones as you did so.

“You poor thing…. I’m so sorry I didn’t see you in there earlier,” you apologized, even though he probably wasn’t listening. He still hadn’t opened his eyes, the only indication that he wasn’t dead being the steady beat, beat, beat of his thumping heart every half a second.

“You gonna blink for me, sweet heart?”

And then, as if on cue, the little mouse sloooowly blinked, opened his eyes, and stared at you.

“Hey there, little one,” you whispered, smiling at him. “Atta boy….”

His eyes began to shift around, rapidly, and he frowned, as if trying to take in all at once where he was and what had happened.

“It’s all right. It’s all right,” you reassured him, readjusting your grip a touch as you continued to hold him close to your chest. “I’ve got you. Elmyra’s asleep. She can’t do you any harm. And if she tried I wouldn’t let her.”

He opened his mouth, closed it, opened it once more, and subsequently shut it again, as if at a loss for words. Perhaps he really was speechless, or perhaps he was still a little stiff from having been locked up in the freezer for so long. Whatever the reason, he continued to stare at you, almost unblinkingly. As you went to pet him again, he reeled back, breathing faster than normal.

“Shhh. Shhh. It’s okay,” you said calmingly, pausing a mite before resuming your soft massage of his head. “It’s all right, little one. I’m not gonna hurt you.”

And slowly, hesitantly, he settled.

“‘Antarctica’,” you mused, shaking your head. “I’m surprised you survived that. Poor thing….”

You continued to talk to him; comfort him. After a solid five minutes of being stroked and cooed to, he actually leaned into your hand. You could tell he enjoyed the massage, reluctant as he was to admit it. A heavy sigh escaped your lips. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little fellow, even if he had been a bit of a butt to you earlier. How often did this kind of thing happen to him? Weekly? Daily? How often did he bath in this torment? You decided to ask him.

“Does she do this kind of thing to you often?”

He nodded, gaze still trained on you.

“Like… daily?”

He nodded again. You sighed.

“I’m so sorry….”

He actually shrugged.

“It’s… my life,” he coughed out, in a deep, chocolatey voice that was a little raspy. It was almost comical that a voice that low could come from something so diminutive.

“Well, it shouldn’t be your life,” you countered. “You don’t deserve any of this.” He simply blinked at you.

“How long has she had you for?”

He shrugged again.

“Over a year..?” he guessed.

“Over a year…. Sheesh…. How are you still alive?” you asked, actually chuckling a little… and regretting it immediately after. This was no laughing matter.

“I… I don’t know,” the Brain admitted, his body vibrating for a second as it released a shiver. For once, he looked away from you. “I don’t know….”

There was something in the way that he said “I don’t know”, something in the way his voice quivered a touch as it floated off into the air, that made your heart break in two. It was as if he himself couldn’t believe they’d held out as long as they had; that they hadn’t given up all hope by this time. It was a dry admittance, a sad admittance, and he blinked rather rapidly and sniffed after saying it, as if trying to bite back tears.

Any animosity you’d had for such a creature had completely dissipated by this point. His honesty. His helpless quaver…. They’d destroyed it. With all the more tenderness, you rocked him gently to and fro, taking extra care to massage his whole little body, as best he’d let you anyway, trying to iron out every last bit of pain trapped in those delicate bones. He barely even resisted, save for asking once why you even bothered to help him in the first place.

“Because I think you needed it,” was your blunt response.

He’d looked away a little shyly at this, before turning back to look into your eyes.

“Thank you,” he muttered, and it sounded sincere.

You simply nodded, smiling at him, continuing to rub out the pain as best you could.

8:47 PM. You tossed a frown at the clock. Mrs. Duff would be back in about thirteen minutes. The time you had spent with your new charge hadn’t felt like enough. You were fully aware that you couldn’t take him back to your place for extended relief. He’d have to return to Elmyra’s room, or, at the very least, be put back somewhere in the house before the mother arrived. This posed a bit of a problem, however, for by this point he’d fallen back to sleep in your arms. You stopped rocking him back and forth for a moment to simply… look at him.

He was so small. Much smaller than expected for a pet mouse. Perhaps he’d been a field mouse in the past? A body that fragile shouldn’t be thrown around in a house by a volatile little girl. He should be cared for; comforted; loved.

8:48 PM. He was actually snoring, so quietly it was barely audible. Despite yourself, you leaned down… and kissed him on the top of his head. He stirred, but didn’t awaken.

“I’m so sorry,” you whispered again, swallowing thickly.

You looked at the clock. 8:49 PM. You sighed.

You couldn’t do this. You knew you couldn’t do it from the moment you opened the freezer door and saw him lying in there. Two hundred dollars a week wasn’t worth it. You were going to be fired and that was that. Screw the money. The thought of leaving the two mice in such a condition as this was unbearable. You couldn’t rescue all of her animals, of course, and you hated the idea of stealing, but this one had almost died.

8:50 PM. You groaned. This wasn’t going to be easy….

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Sunday morning saw you bright and early, topping off some pancakes in your dorm room with maple syrup, cutting up a few tiny pieces, and setting aside said pieces on a small napkin on a table. Two little white mice immediately stepped up. You smiled at them as you dug into your own, much larger portion of the breakfast, watching the sun rise beyond the balcony.

In the end, you’d chosen the lesser of two evils: voluntary departure. The moment Mrs. Duff had returned home, you’d politely thanked her for the payment, but regretted that you didn’t think you could continue to operate as babysitter. She’d been disappointed, but not surprised. It wasn’t the first time a new hire had quit so suddenly. The turn-over rate with Elmyra was high.

And so you left, leaving the two mice behind at the house, but had returned the next day around 1:00 PM while Elmyra was in school and her parents were preoccupied. She had a tendency to leave her bedroom window open, you see, and it didn’t take much convincing to persuade the mice to consider new living arrangements. The taller one, whose name turned out to be Pinky, was a bit uncertain, and felt bad about ditching without even a note of thanks or apology, but the Brain said it wouldn’t matter, that Elmyra would get over it soon enough and find some other tiny rodents to torture, and so Pinky relented. Not that you could blame him for being hesitant. You also felt bad about literally kidnapping them in this way, but you couldn’t think of any alternative.

Watching Pinky happily lick maple syrup from his lips, however, and observing Brain take notes on a pad while he chewed on pancake satisfactorily, you felt it had been worth it. Pinky still felt a bit guilty about ditching Elmyra so suddenly, but he seemed to adjust to change surprisingly quickly, and sweet breakfast food every morning was a-okay in his book. Brain was still getting used to you, and spoke only when necessary, but he hadn’t forgotten the freezer incident. When he did speak to you it was fairly formal and polite, and he’d even let you scratch behind his ears now and again. Pinky was undoubtedly the friendlier of the two, and you enjoyed spending time with him, talking about movies and playing board games, but there was a special place in your heart reserved for Mr. Grumpy. You figured that would always be there after what had transpired several nights prior. All you could see whenever you opened a freezer door now was an ivory, frost-bitten body trembling in your hands.

Bright sunlight was pouring into the dorm room now, alighting the chairs, the tables, the dishware…. Smiling, you stood up, plate in hand, and stepped out onto the porch, choosing instead to rest in one of the outside seats, the better to enjoy the day’s warmth.

Several minutes later, as you popped a piece of pancake in your mouth, something, or someone, crawled up into the chair beside you. You looked down. It was Brain.

“Hello,” you greeted him pleasantly.

“Hello,” he replied. He licked his lips a little timidly. “Umm….”

“Yes?”

“I…. Well, I… I just wanted to say that… you’ve…. Well, it’s… it’s nicer here than at Elmyra’s….”

“Glad to hear that. I would hope so,” you smirked.

“And… I…. Well, I… um…,” he stammered, scratching at his neck.

You smiled.

“It’s okay,” you said. “You’re welcome.”

He looked up at you, then back at the sunrise. A minute passed. Quietly, inconspicuously, he sidled up close to you, and leaned his entire body against yours, closing his eyes as he did so. Your heart warmed at this show of trust. Oh….

Gently, so as not to startle him, you brought up a hand and began massaging him.

“I love you, little one,” you whispered under your breath.

In response, he pressed closer against you. It wasn’t at all what you expected from him, but you gratefully accepted it all the same.

You both sat like that for a long time, enjoying the touch of the sun’s rays, Pinky finally joining in some moments later as he snuggled up to his friend. Brain actually wrapped an arm around Pinky... and smiled. Pinky hugged him back.

A grin tugged at the corners of your mouth as you watched them, before turning your attention back to the sunrise. Hot pancakes. A beautiful view. Soft mice. And no Elmyra. It was nice.

As you petted the two little fuzzies cuddled up next to you, warm and full and far away from any girls who would put them in freezers, one thing became absolutely decided in your mind: no amount of money could ever substitute for this.

The End

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

Author’s Note:

I promised myself I’d never do a self-insert. Granted, that applied more to drawings, and even then I’ve made a couple of exceptions in the past, but writing out this kind of thing is still a bit embarrassing to me. I feel like it tampers too much with the canon universe, but, then again, so do AUs and even fan fiction in general. Every story is a “what if”.

This one came about, however, because I was inspired by a friend of mine, Shuun. She’d written a very sweet little story called Haven Forbid (which I suggest you check out), that was, in turn, partially inspired by a soft idea I’d had in which a young woman, taking on the job of Elmyra’s babysitter, discovers Brain trapped in the freezer and proceeds to nurse him back to health. The idea in general is one I’ve had for months and months and months. Whenever I daydream about cuddling and comforting Brain, it often comes back to this particular scenario. So, yes, it’s a flat-out self-insert. Ha-ha. I just normally don’t like sharing these things publicly, but Shuun inspired me to be brave. Heh. :)

Although this is written with a y/n perspective, the character of the babysitter is basically me. This is what I would most likely do if in this situation. Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain is a show that I not only abhor, but that hurts my heart terribly. The pain I feel regarding Brain, watching him get beat up, tossed around, thrown against walls, choked, and all manner of other despicable things, is nigh through the roof. So dearly do I yearn to rescue him from such a predicament that I’ve literally been in tears thinking about what he had to endure in that show, even though it’s technically not canon. He can be a little butt himself sometimes, but he absolutely did not deserve any of what he was put through in that series.

Hand me a little frozen Brain and I’d do exactly what you saw in the story. Let me warm him; hold him; love him; tell him he’s not alone…. He’d probably balk at a majority of it, but, deep down, he wants to be comfortable and secure as much as the next person. I have so much love for this little fellow. A lot of the time he needs a kick in the pants, to be certain, and occasionally he’d rather be left alone than spoken to, but once in a while, even though he’d never admit it, I think he also needs a kiss to the head.

(As a side note, the title of this story was… paaaaartially inspired by the famous “Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire” chapter title in The Hobbit.)

Studying from home

People take leaves of absences for many reasons, sometimes they just can't afford to study, a distant family member might need their company, an unexpected pregnancy might happen or they may have a medical condition.

Taking a leave of absence is a lot like a gap year where you stay at home while all your friends are out there getting an education. At first, it may seem lonely and depressing but it's a good opportunity to take better care of your mental health or whatever responsibility you have at hand, practice some quality self-care or taking up some projects you've always wanted to sink your teeth into.

Why

A little context to this post, I'm currently taking a leave of absence this semester as suggested by my academic advisor, persuaded by my university counsellor and signed off by my therapist since I was recently diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. Originally, I never agreed to take a leave of absence in the first place because I wasn't too keen on extending my studies and graduating late but as I was failing papers, stopped attending classes and using self-destructive coping habits to get by, taking a leave of absence was almost inevitable.

How It Feels

For starters, it feels rather lonely. I'm not someone that socializes a lot, but now that I don't have the luxury of having my few friends around when I need them it definitely makes all the difference. Life sucks when you don't have the liberty of choice. But on the other hand, it really does highlight who your true friends really are and who would actually care and worry about you without your presence in their lives. I hope I'm not being too vague, but I assume you can get catch my drift.

Benefits

Taking a leave of absence, besides the initial purpose can be very beneficial in many other ways

taking time for your mental health, preventing (or recovering from) burnout and resting

finding out who you are outside of school work (for me, university life is something that has occupied 90% of my brain and thoughts for the past two years, it's nice to take a break from it all)

getting some job experience and saving money

working on your general well being (exercise, sleep, healthy diet)

freedom from school if it helps...

time to do whatever you’ve wanted to do, any personal projects and stuff

trying new things, new hobbies, new interests?

How To Study

Since I'm going to start my fourth semester this September (i was supposed to start this February) I am advised to take this opportunity to catch up on my studies and try to get a head start on excelling in my repeated papers (there's four of them btw, and yeah depression really messes you up in the most inconvenient ways possible Σ(๑+⌓ o｡)シ) So being the so-called diligent workaholic that I was pre-mdd era, I made yet another intensive study plan ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ.

In my original timetable (that I would've used if I had continued my studies this sem) there are exactly 4 hours for each subject with seven subjects in total (all with 3 credit hours). So since weekends and weekdays are all the same for me, I divided my schedule to study 2 hours worth of 2 different subjects every day. I made sure that I wasn't learning the same subject in two consecutive days because it helps me to retain information for longer when the spaces between each revision isn't too long, and if unlike me, you have subjects more on the theory side and subjects more on the calculating side, be sure to have one of both each day so you wouldn't get tired from calculating for four hours straight or memorizing facts for four hours straight.

Be sure to obtain the study guides from your lecturer or classmates so you can keep up on when you are supposed to learn a topic and for how long you should be learning that topic. In my university, one semester has 14 weeks so I made a semester overview spread in my bullet journal with my weekly objectives for each subject as well as the dates of tests and quizzes.

Obtain study materials if your university provides them. I have really generous lecturers at my university that shares the lecture notes, slides and tutorials online that I can download and use. Also, a few past year papers are good too with answer schemes if possible. You can also ask your friends for the current test or quiz papers or any extra notes the lecturers provide in class. I always make sure I have this list of study materials:

Course Outline

Lecture Notes

Tutorials

Past Year papers

Answer schemes

A seperate online or textbook reference (from Youtube or the app Brilliant)

4. This step is mostly personalised and its the study materials that you yourself provide for your studies. For me its making handwritten notes from textbooks or lecture notes; flashcards for definitions and formulae from my handwritten notes, and blurting which is a little study method I learned from Unjaded Jade.

What To Do

Besides study, instead of cocurricular activities and club meetings and stuff, you have all that time to do other things that you or may not have the time to do them at university. These include:

learning a new language (I'm learning German)

Take up a part-time job or two or five.

Save up money

Backpacking or travel (if you can afford it)

Start a Youtube channel or a blog

Start a business

Volunteer

Take up yoga or meditation

do some mindful activities like journalling

write a song?

learn some new skills

binge-watch a new series

and so many more things ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

I hope this was somewhat helpful if there's anything you'd like to ask or you'd like me to add feel free to hit me up!

Just Another Day (Office AU, Part 1)

Pairing: Dean Smith x Reader (Female)

Summary: The Reader has been Dean Smith’s hardworking assistant for the past few months now and things have been going great. That is until people start dying at Sandover. And what’s with that freakishly tall IT guy that keeps bothering her and talking about ghosts in the elevator?

Word Count: 2,265

Warning: Language

Author’s Note: Remember the “It’s a Terrible Life” episode? Yeah, this is that. But with the Reader added to the mix and a few things changed. This is only Part 1 so there is definitely more to come! Leave me comments, honest opinions, and a thumbs up if you like anything you read :)

Your day officially started at 5:00. Every single weekday, sometimes on the weekends. It was a uniform schedule really. You would wake up, take a shower, put on your clothes that you pressed and ironed the night before, water your plants, and be out the door by 6.

You always walked to work in the morning. Traffic was too hectic to catch a cab and you also had to make a stop on the way. It was a pain in the ass to make the particular stop but you knew you wouldn’t be able to set foot inside your office without it.

You grumbled every time you opened the door to the Starbucks and would hear the jingling of the bell above your head. It wasn’t that you hated Starbucks, you actually loved it. They made damn good lattes. The problem was the wait. The place always had a line outside the door and it always had 2 or 3 asshole customers. You hated waiting in line as much as the next person but there was no reason to take it out on the staff. That’s why you always tipped and tried to muster up a smile despite how early in the morning it was.

You usually didn’t even have to place an order once you got up to the register. You’ve been there so many times that the staff knew your order by heart. A Venti Café Macchiato with skim milk, an extra shot of espresso, and a whole grain muffin, and a Grande Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of Vanilla with a blueberry muffin. Your order obviously being the latter. Your boss had a healthier and more refined palate than you did.

Typically, after your Starbucks run, you had a 10-minute walk to the office building. The tricky part was always making sure the Starbucks was still hot once you reached your desk. Your boss hated cold coffee.

The worst was always when the elevator was out of service and you had to climb all the way up to the 12th floor. On those days, you made sure to move quick enough but not fast enough to make you sweat like a pig. You’ll be damned if you ever showed up to work flustered, and unprofessional. And you could only go so fast in heels anyways. But for the most part, the elevator was usually working. And you always arrived at your desk on time. 7:15.

At 7:30 exactly, on the dot, your boss would walk through the glass doors, tapping away on his cell phone in concentration, his workbag hitched on his shoulders.

You gave him a small smile. “Good morning, Mr. Smith.”

Mr. Smith looked up from his phone and gave you a small nod. “Morning, Y/N.”

You reached for a folder and the newspaper that sat on your desk. “You have a meeting today at 10, an appointment for 1:30, and a phone call conference for 3. I already filed the paperwork for Miller and straightened out the whole Templeton fiasco. Turns out it was a simple case of miscommunication…Oh and your fun fact for today would be that Led Zeppelin were huge Lord of the Rings fans.”

Mr. Smith chuckled while taking the newspaper and folder from your hands.

“Zeppelin? Really? Is that the type of music you think I listen to?”

You shrugged. “Wild guess, maybe? I mean, you don’t listen to the stock market reports on the radio or NPR, right?” Mr. Smith looked down sheepishly at the folder in his hand and began to leaf through the papers.

You let out a laugh. “Oh my gosh! You do!” You noticed the tip of your boss’ ears began to turn red with embarrassment.

“Shouldn’t you be preparing the Johnson file right now?” He grumbled, beginning to walk away from your desk.

“Don’t worry Mr. Smith, your secret’s safe with me. Besides, I think you’re a secret Zeppelin fan at heart.”

He waved you off. “Back to work Ms. Colt.”

“Mr. Smith.” You sang.

Mr. Smith turned around to you once more and you held a Starbucks cup and bag out in front of you with an innocent grin. He shook his head.

“I would sink without you.”

“Indeed.”

You don’t really remember how you stumbled onto Sandover Bridge & Iron Inc. It just sort of happened. One day you just found yourself on the 22th floor of Sandover in Dean Smith’s office. According to your research, he was an up and coming force in the business, with the title of Senior Partner almost in his grasp. All at the ripe age of 30. And he was looking for an assistant. A lot of rumors circulated about Dean Smith. A lot of people said he was a hard-ass, others said he was brutal, and a generous amount said he was a complete asshole. Yet you found yourself at the interview.

When you first strolled into Dean Smith’s office, you thought you were being Punk’d. All you saw was a smoking hot man sitting behind the desk. A sleek suit, soft spikes of sandy blonde hair, golden tan skin, freckles, and piercing green eyes. The guy was fucking gorgeous. You had the sudden urge to pull the man by the tie and let him fuck you into the next week.

You bit the bottom of your lip as Dean Smith began to stare at you critically.

“Ms. Colt?” You nodded and handed him your resume. He motioned for you to take a seat. He never dropped his gaze though. And with one swift motion, he tore your resume in half. You let out a small gasp.

“I don’t really like resumes. They have a lot of words that don’t really mean anything. I’ve had plenty of assistants with an excellent resume and turned out to be complete shit,” He gave you a cold, hard, calculating look. “So why should I hire you?”

So maybe the rumors were true about him. You felt somewhat nervous but the setting felt also… familiar? You couldn’t put your finger on it exactly but everything about being in the office with this man felt familiar and almost second nature.

You realized that the next few sentences would either make or break you. You knew exactly what to say.

“May I ask why your previous assistants aren’t working for you today?” You asked.

Dean Smith let out a snort and gave exasperated sigh. “Well, one never showed up on time, one wasn’t good with deadlines, a few tried to lay one on me or feel me up, another asked me what a memo was, and the last one couldn’t get my coffee order right.”

“Okay, well,” You locked eyes with him and squared your shoulders. “I just moved into town not too long ago, which didn’t really leave me room for a social life therefore I have nothing to do but arrive to work on time, I work 10 times better under deadlines, I’m a classy girl and don’t put out on the first date, a memo can be defined as a written communication or a reminder, and lastly I consider coffee the liquid of life, if someone messed up my coffee order, I would fire them too Mr. Smith.”

The room fell silent for a moment, and Dean Smith stared at you with an unreadable expression. Perhaps you might have fucked this one up.

The corners of his mouth twitched up into a smile and he laughed. “You’re hired.”

That was 2 months and a half ago and somehow you were still his assistant. And you found out for yourself, the rumors were all true.

“I expect you to be on time every single day. I highly recommend you be here before I even arrive. I like to have an itinerary of the day on paper for me before my day starts, I prefer well-written profiles of each client I come into contact with, I eat lunch everyday at 12, and every morning I drink a Venti Café Macchiato with skim milk, an extra shot of espresso with a whole grain muffin.” Mr. Smith rattled off.

You were thankful you remembered to grab your notebook.

“And most importantly, dress professionally. We only perform as good as we dress. And with that being said, you are responsible for some of my home duties as well. Picking and dropping stuff off at the cleaners, making sure my car gets cleaned bi-weekly, the usual.”

You almost wanted to high tail it at the mention of all the work and phone calls you would have to do daily. But you were never one to back down, for anything, or anyone.

“Mr. Smith.” You knocked on his office door lightly.

“Come in.” Mr. Smith had his Bluetooth in and was typing on his computer with speed. You held up a bag and lightly shook it.

“Lunch is served, oh mighty Overlord.” Mr. Smith didn’t bother to look up and continued typing. You began to unload the contents of the bag and place the items on his desk. “You lucked out today, they finally got shipment of that organic dressing crap you always rave about.” Mr. Smith finished typing and finally looked up.

“It’s not crap. It’s healthy. It’s suppose to cleanse your systems but provide nutrients at the same time.”

“Honestly Mr. Smith, this whole cleansing diet thing is just a little bit-“

“A little bit what?” He asked pulling the Bluetooth out of his ear and placing it on his desk.

“Unnecessary.” You pulled a few napkins out of the bag. “I mean, you’re probably one of the most in shape 30 year-olds I’ve ever known,”

“Because of the cleanse,” He said in a matter-of-factly tone.

“No, before the cleanse. You only started up this stupid cleanse about 3 weeks ago. You were in perfect shape then too.” You were busying yourself with taking the lids off everything, like it was second nature. “I mean when I first walked into your office for an interview, believe me when I say you were in shape, I-“ You paused for a moment and looked towards your boss. He had a slight smirk on his face. Your eyes widened. “Did I just say that out loud?”

Mr. Smith nodded. “Yes you did.” His face danced with amusement.

You started to babble. “I didn’t mean it like that- What I meant to say was- I promise I’m professional- I just was saying how you didn’t need that stupid cleanse- I don’t even know why that slipped out of my mouth- Just forget it. Forget every word I’ve said now. I’m leaving now.” You awkwardly crumbled the bag that the food came in and headed for the door. You could hear laughter coming from the office once you closed the door.

You let out a puff of air as you fell back into your office chair. Those outbursts have been more frequent as of late. And sometimes it would be the weirdest things.

A few days ago, you found yourself typing the name “Dean Winchester” for your boss’ memo rather than “Smith”. You’ve never even met someone with that last name before.

Then just yesterday, when Mr. Smith dropped off a stack of paper work while you were mindlessly typing on your laptop, you gave him a small “Thanks babe.” Thankfully your boss didn’t seem to notice and said “Welcome.” before walking back to his office. It all seemed too natural. The realization of what you just said didn’t even hit until seconds later. You were horrified. But your boss never mentioned it.

You opened your lunch bag and began eating with a rock station softly playing in the background.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, you always leaves the office with Mr. Smith, prepping him for a meeting of some sort that he always schedules for 6:00. The two of you exit the glass double doors and enter the elevator.

“Don’t forget you’re meeting O’Dell at Fait Avec Amour instead of Swingers tonight, and don’t forget he’s a sucker for white wine,” You said while leafing through a manila folder.

Mr. Smith put down his phone and let out a groan. “White wine? Really?”

You looked up from your files and raised an eyebrow in concern. “Is there a problem?”

“The cleanse only allows room for water and the cleanse itself. Not white wine.” He said massaging his temple.

“Oh my. What it must feel like to be worrisome of drinking top shelf, white wine.” You deadpanned. Your boss acted like a child at times.

“I don’t pay you for your smart ass remarks you know.” He began to busy himself on his phone again.

“I’m pretty sure payroll does that, Sir.”

Instead of the elevator opening up to the ground level, the door opened to the 12th floor. You looked up to see a guy in a bright yellow shirt, which signaled he was from IT, towering over both you and Mr. Smith. And it was pretty damn hard to tower over Mr. Smith.

His height wasn’t what threw you off though. It was the way he was staring. He was staring at the two of you like he recognized a celebrity or seen a ghost of some sort.

Usually when people realized you were Dean Smith and the assistant, you got the celebrity reaction, but this guy’s stare was different. It was haunting, and knowing.

You quickly dropped your eye contact back to your papers and shifted a little on your feet. Your boss seemed to not notice a thing.

“Do I know you two from somewhere?” A voice filled the elevator. It was the IT guy. Mr. Smith looked up from his phone and you looked up from your papers.

Mr. Smith simply raised an eyebrow at the guy like he had two heads. But you actually stared back. No, you didn’t know him from anywhere. But something about him screamed familiar. Maybe you rode the elevator with him a few times or so. You were about to say just as much until your boss spoke instead.

“No, I don’t think so,” Mr. Smith answered, speaking for the both of you. Like he knew who all of your friends were in the office. You rolled your eyes.

The guy shook his head and scratched the back of his neck. “Sorry man, the two of you just look really familiar.”

The elevator finally dinged and the doors opened at the base level. “Yeah well, save it for the health club, pal.” Mr. Smith said with a bit of snark before exiting the elevator.

You threw the guy an apologetic look before following your boss. You forgot that there was a reason why a lot of people didn’t favor Dean Smith. That part of him always seemed to go away when it was just the two of you. It wasn’t your place to call him out on his behavior though. He was still your boss after all.

“That guy was definitely trying to hit on you. How unprofessional. He’s lucky I don’t know his name or I would report his ass.” Mr. Smith pulled his earpiece out and turned towards you. He sounded genuinely pissed.

“Mr. Smith, I don’t think he was. He seemed actually curious…” Your sentence lingered. You were curious too. The whole exchange seemed a bit weird. “But thank you for defending my honor, Sir.” You giggled and for a quick second, you swore you saw your boss blush.

“Yeah, well- uh, I should get going.” He took the manila folder from your hands and hiked up his messenger bag. “Have to prepare myself for all the wine guzzling tonight,” You laughed at your boss’ face of distaste and he laughed along with you.

“Well don’t get too wasted Mr. Bossman, you’re always a bit more cranky after a night on the town.” You said quickly fixing his tie without a second thought. “I have to now see a woman about your dry cleaning.” You looked up to him with a smile. “See ya.” You waved and started walking the opposite direction of Mr. Smith.

You didn’t want your boss to get the last word in after that particular comment. You loved giving him shit about being a lightweight.

But you did really have to see a lady about dry cleaning. It was one of your many duties as Dean Smith’s assistant. And since it was a Tuesday, you had to make sure Mr. Smith’s car was washed. Then, after the cleaners, you had to color coordinate his outfit for the next day according to a chart you received from his stylist advisor.

You rolled your eyes at that. You wondered if the guy even owned a pair of jeans. If he did, you haven’t seen them yet. You always imagined what your boss would look like with jeans on and a simple Henley. You laughed at the thought.

A Dean Smith who isn’t dressed up isn’t a Dean Smith at all.

By the time you got home it was around 8 pm. That’s the time you always got home. You would cook yourself a quick dinner, take a steaming shower, and read a chapter or two of your book before falling asleep. And It was like that every single weekday.

You should have known something was wrong when you missed your alarm the next morning.

Tips For Finding The Right Limo Hire

With wedding season in the rearview mirror and graduations rolling around just once a year, now is the time to take advantage of discounts on limousine rentals. If you're considering splurging for your special night out or event,

Read our helpful tips for finding incredible deals during this off-season!

It's the perfect gift.

If you want to spoil the people in your life, you can treat them to an unforgettable experience. With some savvy budgeting that included renting a limo plus spa treatments, it was less costly than buying multiple gifts for everyone individually. Your loved ones will surely be ecstatic with their surprise adventure and talk about it until nearly the following holiday season! They will indeed be surprised once they see their ride show up. They'll be stunned to know they're about to have a luxury ride, which they only used to see in movies.

Weekday travels

Fast Limo hire brought a different kind of hustle and bustle. Their signature limo service was in high demand when wealthy travellers jetted into town for concerts, conventions, and other occasions. Even with the added business from special events, he still kept weekday rates low to ensure everyone could experience luxury travel at an affordable price. Not only that, you can travel in style during weekdays. A limousine rental will take you wherever you want to go.

Travel with special people.

Are you looking to make a special occasion stand out? Booking with the right limo service can take your night from stunning to spectacular. To avoid overspending on flashy options such as Hummer or extra-stretch limos when shopping around for quotes, remember what truly counts is delivering a memorable experience no matter how many people join in! Typically, different car sizes are priced differently - so if budget matters, consider getting an affordable six-passenger vehicle that suits all your needs and ensures everyone fits comfortably! And feel free to inquire about any deals for older vehicles as long you know they will always maintain good condition.

It's worth the price.

Make your transport dreams come true with a limousine rental! When you call, the service will ask for details about where to take you - calculating miles and factoring in gasoline costs as part of their price quote. So remember: when booking Limo rides, plan; it could save some serious dough!

Consider additional expenses such as parking and road tolls when making your transportation arrangements. It's also important to remember the gratuity for the driver can be included in many quotes - make sure you ask if it is! Be reassured that trustworthy providers are always upfront about their fees.

Important reminders

When renting a limousine, ensure the company has proper insurance and that all chauffeurs have valid licenses. Keep shady companies from getting away with cutting corners by evading these important overhead costs - ask for proof before booking to ensure you're getting an experience backed up with professional safety precautions!

Contacting various companies via email is a great way to compare their selection of luxurious vehicles, not to mention all those wonderful extras. Skip the phone calls and get your limo quote faster! Don't wait - start researching for that perfect ride in style as you make an unforgettable entrance at any event.

Safety should always be top-of-mind when selecting a ride service. But you can still sacrifice excitement - verifying the company's certifications is an easy way to ensure everything from driver expertise and insurance coverage to vehicle quality is up to par with your standards of excellence!

Harness the power of your network! Get quality recommendations for limo services from trusted friends, relatives, or colleagues. A first-hand referral could be an ideal way to make a well-informed decision when selecting a reputable company in this space.

Week number calendar 2022 iso#

#VALUE! error – Occurs when either the given serial_number is non-numeric or cannot be recognized as a valid date.

Week number calendar 2022 iso#

The formula is based on the ISO week date system, where the week starts on Monday and the week containing the 1st Thursday of the year is considered week 1. C5*7 adds the number of weeks multiplied by 7 (the number of days in a week) to get the Monday (start date) of the week in question.įor the end date, we will use the following formula: It calculates the date of the last Monday in the previous year. Suppose we are given the data below:įor start_date, the formula to use will be: We can turn a week number into a date using the WEEKNUM function. Here, we took the return_type argument as 15, which means it will take Friday as day 1 of the week. Let’s see how we can get the week number from the dataset. Suppose we are given the following dates. To understand the uses of the function, let’s consider a few examples: Example 1 WEEKNUM is a built-in function that can be used as a worksheet function in Excel. How to use the WEEKNUM Function in Excel?

A date returned from another function or formula.

A reference to a cell containing a date.

Therefore, the serial_number argument for the WEEKDAY function should be entered as either: Excel interprets text representations of dates differently, depending on the date settings on your computer.

Week number calendar 2022 serial number#

By default, Januis serial number 1, and Januis serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after January 1, 1900.

Week number calendar 2022 serial numbers#

MS Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so they can be used in calculations.

If we omit the return_type argument, it will take the default value of 1.

It will take Saturday as the first day of week, Saturday = 1, Sunday = 2. It shall take Friday as first day of week so, Friday = 1, Saturday = 2. It will take Thursday as first day of week, so Thursday = 1, Friday = 2. It will take Wednesday as the first day of week, so Wednesday = 1, Thursday = 2. It will take Monday as the first day of week, so Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2. It will take Sunday as the first day of week, so Sunday = 1, Monday = 2.

System 2 – The week containing the first Thursday of the year is numbered week 1.

System 1 – The week containing January 1st is numbered week 1.

Return_type (optional argument) – This specifies which numbering system should be used and which day of the week should be treated as the start of the week.

When entering the argument, we should enter the date using the DATE function or as a result of other formulas or functions.

Serial_number (required argument) – This is an Excel date for which we want to return the week number.

The WEEKNUM uses the following arguments: Thus, the function is particularly useful when planning and scheduling work for business projects. Suppose we wish to determine the time required to complete a certain project, it can be used to remove weekends from the given timeframe. WEEKNUM is quite useful in financial analysis. The function will return an integer that represents a week number from 1 to 52 weeks of the year. It will return the week number of a specific date. The WEEKNUM Function is an Excel DATE and TIME Function.

25 Tips For Maximizing Your Limousine Service in Buffalo Grove

Is it your first time booking a limousine in Buffalo Grove? Then, check out our expert tips from seasoned limo riders and maximize your experience.

1. Don't forget about prioritizing and planning your trip carefully. For example, we do not recommend waiting until the last minute to book a limo service in Buffalo Grove. If at all possible, reserve at least two weeks in advance because limo companies can experience high demand too, and booking at the last minute may not allow you to get the car of your choice.

2. Rent an unconventional limo (like a Hummer limo) or even a limo bus for larger parties, so everyone can get a one-of-a-kind excursion that expresses your personality and identity, to boot.

3. Go for it if you don't mind riding in style in an older limousine model. Vintage is awesome! Limousine companies spend a lot of money on vehicle maintenance each year, so an older model doesn't necessarily imply it won't be in good shape. Models from the past are in vogue. Older models might save you money, too!

4. You should also bring your snacks to the car. Because limos don't usually have a lot of food, carry some extra snacks to make the most of your limousine ride in Buffalo Grove. You can also bring your drinks because most limos have a bar fridge, so you won't have to worry about keeping all your favorite beverages during the trip chilled to perfection.

5. Why not make a playlist of your favorite songs! Make a special Spotify playist for this journey, so you don't have to ride in quiet or rely on the driver's choice of music.

6. You can rent a limo bus instead of one or perhaps a few limos if you have a large group traveling to a particular event. A limo bus is simply a stretched-out limo. However, it is still fashionable and well-equipped.

7. If you have any special requests, it's a good idea to request a detailed itinerary that includes information such as your pick-up time, arrival time, reception departure time, all addresses to and from where you're going. The itinerary should also include details like the limousine model, color, size, the name of the professional limo driver, etc.

8. When choosing a limo service, think about the entire day's activities. Get a quote when you've factored them all. Avoid 'surprise trips' if you don't want to have problems with your Buffalo Grove limo service. These trip specifics should include everyone's pick-up and drop-off points and hours, any scheduled stops, and anything else you have in mind to make the journey pleasant. Communicate all of these things to the limo company beforehand!

9. When your current journey is shorter than usual, consider booking by the hour. Before making the reservation, look at the actual route and estimate how long the trip would be. Apps like Google Maps or Waze are indispensable for planning any trip in any region of the country. However, if your route is long and has plenty of stops along the way, booking a package will save you money. In addition, traveling with friends is better because you will be able to split the bill.

10. If feasible, check the traffic graph for that road for that particular day using Google Maps or other means, so you know ahead of time if congestion is expected. By doing so, you can avoid traffic by booking on a different day or a few hours before or after your chosen time.

11. Check the weather to see if there are any unusually severe weather conditions, such as the potential of a snowstorm, that could disrupt your limo travel.

12. Calculate the quickest path possible. For example, if you have hired the limousine by the hour, this type of preparation will save you time.

13. Avoid hiring the vehicle during prom season, which runs from February to April. This is when limo reservations are at their highest. If you require a limo during those months, make a reservation ahead of time.

14. For the holiday season, which runs from December through early January, make reservations in advance.

15. The wedding season (late June to early October) is the craziest and busiest time for limo rental providers. So if you're scheduling at the last minute, try to book ahead of time or for the weekend.

16. Weekday bookings are nearly always less expensive than weekend bookings, so try to change your travel day if at all possible.

17. Instead of relying on a spur-of-the-moment thought, plan all of your trips' details. You'll know where you're going, what time and date you'll be there, and you'll be able to reserve your limo ahead of time. In addition, by reviewing your alternatives and comparing pricing ahead of time, you will be able to make informed judgments about the limo. You will be able to get discounts as a result of your foresight.

18. Make a headcount and limit the number of persons to no more than six. This is because limo companies charge by car, not by the number of people, though the two are related. Limousines are often available in six-, eight-, and ten-passenger models. The six-passenger limos are the most cost-effective, so you'll save the most money if you choose one.

19. The more information you can give your limo company, the more excellent value and service you'll get from special packages, which can help you save money.

20. When it comes to limos, the cheapest isn't always the best. In the case of limos, there are many different levels of quality and price, and if you choose a limousine service solely based on pricing, you will most certainly be dissatisfied.

21. Companies that are members of industry groups are generally required to follow specific insurance and service rules. The National Limousine Association (NLA), for example, is a positive sign that your service provider has done their homework.

22. Decide how much time you will require, i.e., how long you will need the limousine from beginning to end.

23. Inquire about the limo service's payment options, such as debit cards, credit cards, crash, or even crypto.

24. Inquire about the inclusions in the limousine package.

25. Don't get too close to the vehicle's capacity limit. A six-passenger limousine is designed for six passengers, but it is only best-suited for four adult riders in terms of comfort. Don't fill the limousine to the brim. Instead, get a more spacious limousine or just rent more limousines.
