Hello! I really like your blog… could we have maybe some Angry, Mitsuya, Inupi and Rindou and some fluffy cuddles?

stop, you'll make me blush

:: warnings: none, just love and peace today <3

:: pairings : Souya (Angry), Mitsuya, Inupi & Rindou - aged x reader

a/n: I don't know about this but I hope you like it. I've been busy with school and shit but I love to imagine how it'd be cuddling with them (Souya was longer bc I have a special place for him in my heart, sorry sorey)

Souya.

It was a really pleasant weekend, the holidays came with a nice weather. You liked the holidays, which meant you had a break from school/work finally. However... It also meant that your two-years boyfriend, Souya, would spend the weekend working at the ramen shop he owned alongside his twin brother.

You pout helplessly as it hit five o'clock that Sunday. The previous day you'd spend with Hina, wandering around the streets and listening to her rambling about how excited she was for her wedding. You were proud of your boyfriend, of course. The shop was a success! But... You couldn't help but him there with you. Suddenly, you had an idea.

Souya would probably be worn out when he arrived home from work, so you, an exceptional girlfriend, decided to prepare him a little surprise. It wasn't going to be much because it were the last minutes, but you knew he'd like it.

You were in your most comfortable pajamas; the bed you shared with him had bowls of candy and popcorn– caramel flavored, it is his favorite. If you couldn't go out with him, you'd have your time chilling in bed then.

You awaited for him eating some candies here and there because you couldn't wait. Finally, when it already felt like ages but had only been twenty minutes, you hear the sound of keys coming from the other room. You jumped out of the bed and ran barefoot to meet him. Souya was putting down his keys when you came and embraced him from behind.

"Hi!" he greeted. It was so cute when you two started dating how you'd catch his lips turning upwards slightly whenever he saw you. It is still cute, who are you kidding? "Sorry I couldn't be with you this weekend." He apologized in a small voice.

"Oh no, no, no," you grabbed his hand and started yanking him to the bedroom. "I have something for you!" You spoke like a kid leading their parents to the living room on Christmas morning.

You turned on the bedroom lights and watched him as he squinted his eyes, adjusting to the bright light. Oh God, his messy curly blue hair reflected the amount of work he must have had... He looks so cute though, serious face with a frown, like a little kid with cotton candy hair.

"Let's watch a movie, I already chose your favorite one!" You pushed him to the bed where he sat leaned back. His face was of pure confusion, which made you giggle.

"Fruitvale Station." Souya said to himself. He loved the movie, it always made him shed some tears. You get up from the bed and turn off the lights, kissing him in the mouth briefly before sitting down and hand him the popcorn.

Despite the fact you literally shoved him into the bed and shoved the popcorn bowl onto his face, Souya appreciated it dearly! He liked to watch movies with you, unlike his twin brother, who'd ask something every five minutes, you watched the movie and he enjoyed it.

But when you look at him when the sad part of the movie comes up, you see that his eyes are drifting close and the bowl– now half empty –is almost slipping from his hands. You put the bowls aside, carefully taking the one from him. He blurts out something when you slowly pokes him on the shoulder to make him lay down.

"Uh... The movie's over?" he opens a lazy eye.

"Yes, love."

"Didn't even cry this time." he adjusts his he's don the pillow, the sound of your laugh makes him a bit more awake and all of sudden you feel two hands pulling you to his side. He lays on top of your stomach and snuggles his head down on the soft fabric of your clothes. You smile to yourself and plays with his hair.

"Sing for me?" You hear his sleepy voice.

"Sing?"

"Mhm."

You open your eyes and stare at the ceiling, that's new. You don't sing, you just hum a soft melody your grandfather used to sing for you. You hope that it'll content him and all your doubts are cleared when you listen to his soft breathing and incoherent mumbles as he hugs your waist like a plush toy.

Mitsuya.

Mitsuya is the king of cuddling, change my mind. You can't. It doesn't matter if he's had a tough day at work or it was a lazy day at home, he will look forward to cuddling you in any circumstances.

Mitsuya likes to hold you with your back on his chest. But he won't go to sleep immediately, no. You two will lay in that position (most of the times he's the big spoon, he likes holding you and you love how you feel sheltered in his arms) and will talk about your day. Mitsuya takes this moment very seriously. He wants to know about your day, what were the things you did, what did you eat, if you enjoyed it... All of it while rubbing your back/arms/waist or fiddling with your hair. He also leaves feather kisses on your shoulders.

Cuddling with him is always so good even if you're not going to sleep. Whenever he's not so busy sewing he will grant you your wishes and will lay down with you talking about all and nothing.

He likes it though, it's not like he's doing it just because you asked, he enjoys it. The proximity of you two and how he's showed you that there are other ways to love without being sexual. You love that about him.

Inui.

At first it was complicated to bring Inui to cuddle. It still is sometimes, but he is working on it.

From the very beginning you've noticed that whenever you'd be talking to him and looking him right in the eye he'd look away or turn his head away. He probably didn't his burn scar. It didn't matter how many times you'd tell him you thought it made him look tougher and cooler, he wouldn't believe you.

As you two lay down, the way you like to stay is face to face, very close. You will put a leg over his and throw an arm over his shoulders, caress his hair or trace his features.

Inui knew what he had gotten himself into, but when you two made your relationship official it became much clearer how clingy and touchy you are. He still doesn't like this much touch but he allows you because of how you'll smile until you're asleep. He likes the view so he makes an effort.

He's a pretty good listener, so you will mess with his hair and sneak some kisses here and there as you tell him whatever it's in your mind. He'll listen carefully while examining your sleepy face. You always fall sleep first and he watches you with puppy eyes.

Rindou.

Rindou is another hard case. Rindou HATES cuddling. He pretty much would rather have his own blanket and turn to the wall than sleep tangled with you. The reason to that it's because he sweats a lot. I'm not kidding. And it's not in a bad connotation, it's just that he sleeps with the blanket covering all of himself leaving out only his nose –sometimes not even the nose. He's just in a silly goofy mood every night and likes to pretend he's a butterfly in a cocoon 🤪

He will cuddle with you in the couch though, with you on top of him or in a large armchair. No talking though, he reads a lot so you can sneak into his lap and enjoy his warmth in deep silence while he reads and adjusts his glasses on his nose every seven minutes.

He likes to hold you close, and will rub whatever part of your skin that's showing. But remember, don't talk while he reads or he'll push you to the floor!

Hello, i would like to request 13. and 16. for Katsuki Bakugo as fluff for your Halloween extravaganza. Thank you.

SWEETER THAN CANDY - Katsuki Bakugou

Warning: Light cursing, Bakugou w/ a low social battery

Word Count: 0.51k

A/N - Hello my dear! Thank you so much for the request <3 This one took a bit to write bc I had so many different ideas I could've used and I kept changing stuff 💀 but it's finally finished! I used a bit of my own headcanon in this, I hope that's okay. Without further ado, please enjoy :)

Lynn’s Halloween Extravaganza

“Tch, this is so stupid, I hate Halloween parties” Bakugou complained as he placed the wolf ears over his head. “I have no interest in being around these damn extras.”

“Oh come on Katsu, it won’t be that bad, I promise!” You laughed as you placed the final touches on your own costume. “We’ll laugh, and dance, and have the best night of our lives!”

“Whatever dumbass, let’s go.”

You don’t remember who suggested it first, but your classmates had decided to throw a Halloween party in celebration of the Halloween season. It was a night meant to feel like kids again, no more quirk training, and no more hero working.

The music could be heard the moment the two of you stepped out of your dorm. The rhythm of the bass could be felt under your feet and the chatter began to echo along the walls as you drew near. The first words that seemed to greet the two of you as you entered the common room were “Bakubro! Didn’t think you’d show, man!” from an eager Kirishima.

“Shut it shitty hair.” Bakugou snarled.

“Did Y/N actually convince you to come, dude?” Kaminari smirked, wiggling his eyebrows. “Who knew Bakugo was wrapped around their finger like tha-”

“SHUT UP BEFORE I KILL YOU, DUNCE FACE”

Hours seemed to tick by as the party went on, laughing and talking to many of your friends. At one point, Kaminari and Kirishima held an eating contest to see who could eat the most candy. (Neither of them won)

“Idiots are definitely gonna puke later on,” Jirou said as she watched them shove candy bar after candy bar into their mouths.

It didn’t take you long to notice the figure standing in the corner of the room, looming in the back with his arms crossed.

“I’ll be back, you guys.” You excused yourself.

Walking over to him, you could feel his irritation exuding from him, and you knew well enough what that meant.

“Everything okay Katsu?”

“Yeah dumbass, I’m fine. Go have fun.” He mumbled as he leaned against the wall.

You knew he wasn’t having a good time as his eyes held a glow of annoyance at the rowdiness of the party. Wordlessly, you gently grabbed his hand and gave him a soft smile as you led him back to your dorm.

“Dumbass, go back to the party. Stop trying to baby-” He rolled his eyes as you opened the door.

You shushed his complaints with a kiss, as gentle as a feather and as sweet as candy as you cupped his face.

“I’m sorry for making you go Katsu, I know how much you don’t-”

It was his turn to hush you as he placed another kiss on your lips.

“Shut up idiot, it’s fine.”

Rather than ending the night partying down the hall, you cuddled up to your dear lover as a Halloween movie played on the TV. You felt a sweet peck on your temple as Bakugou murmured into your ear.

“I take it back, maybe Halloween isn’t so bad after all.”

dteam + friends as old navy employees

 Bad is the manager. a very tired one, but he keeps everyone in check

bad: guys please make sure we’re asking for cards today- we’re behind and-

dream: its georges fault

george: it’s not! i ask and everyone says no-

dream: thats because you aren’t asking them right 

george: how the hell do you ask for a credit card right???

bad is long gone by that point. he’s quietly sitting in the office watching george and dream bicker

he has a photo of his dog on his desk and will smuggle her into the workplace sometimes 

will deal with the difficult customers but will feel bad for being mean even though its his job

sapnap is on the floor bc he can perfect fold things

hates every second of it and always hides in the fitting room or goes up to cash wrap to bother george

purposefully messes up piles of clothes so dream has to refold it

scares tommy whenever he hides in said fitting room

overall, super chill and will go where ever he needs to but folds like a sloth

once caught someone stealing but he didn’t say anything

george is always up at the registers and he absolutely hates it

he will never ever ask people to open up a credit card unless bad is there or unless dream gets put up there with him and they compete against each other

as soon as a customer has an issue with something, george calls bad up to the register to deal with it and he walks away

george will ignore customers and let wilbur take them instead

he steals the candy all the time

dream is tossed around all over the place

doesnt do anything, yet still manages to meet his credit card goal which annoys the fuck out of george and sapnap

he hits george with hangers 

george will always hit him back

the kids are fighting again ft. hangers 

he attracts the weird customers which makes for good stories

he once fell off a ladder and george saw that and he will never let dream live that down

a BOPIS beast- not a single order goes unnoticed by him

sapnap likes to fold the kids clothes since theyre easy and bad never checks kids

dream is a huge wingman to sapnap through the walkies 

dream: sapnap, tell that girl that the boyfriend jeans are 100% off at your place.

sapnap: dude i have a girlfriend 

dream: okay, say it for me then

sapnap: dream im not saying that-

george: will you please shut up i can’t hear anything but you two idiots

alternatively- also the biggest instigator

dream: george, i dare you to not talk to the next customer

george: what? no, i have to it’s literally my job to talk to them-

dream: do it, trust me

george: im not gonna ignore them as i check them out

dream: if you dont, im telling bad that you dont ask to open credit cards and you didn’t count the money from last night and youve been stealing the kitkats

long story short, they got a complaint and george was tasked with cleaning the bathrooms that night as punishment

tommy is in fitting room and he loves it 

he was put there since he was “too aggressive” to be on sales floor

but hes the only person at the store that can open more credit cards than dream due to his aggression 

he gets to go on his phone and drink coke whenever

once locked sapnap in the fitting room for three hours 

whenever he has to return the ‘go back’ clothes, he sprints through the store. he literally runs the clothes. 

once fought a customer that told him he was wrong about a price. 

tommy: HOW IS IT WRONG I SCANNED IT WITH THE FUCKING IPOD AND IT CAME UP THAT PRICE HOW IS IT WRONG

tubbo is holding him back while bad is apologizing to the customer and offering them 70% their entire purchase

wilbur is on register with george and they gossip about the customers 

wilbur is the best dressed there

him and george are lowkey the power duo on register 

he cares very much about sizing and taking proper care of the clothes

he drives tommy and tubbo to work

dream and george go get lunch together on their break

dream will occasionally bring george mcdonalds if he feels like it

george, in return, won’t do anything special <3

jk- george just helps dream fold the floor after closing instead of hiding behind the cash wrap counter

george will always bring dream a starbucks cookie on fridays

one time, bad wouldn’t let george wear one of his supreme shirts and he had to wear dreams hoodie to cover it up

techno is a ghost at this old navy. hes never scheduled to work but when he comes it- everything is perfectly folded and they have a spike in customer satisfaction- but people rarely see him do these things

small rivalry between dream and techno obviously 

they will always make a competition out of everything

always a closing time employee- he never opens the store. 

dream is obsessed with how he perfect folds and will stalk him around the store when he does work

techno just wants to work tbh  

tubbo is in fitting room with tommy 

hes more…passive… with the customers 

will always wish everyone a nice day even if they leave the room a mess

will take the time to clean each room while tommy sprints in and out with his arms full of clothes

does whatever tommy wants to do

except when it comes down to who is cleaning the bathrooms at closing time- then its a battle

(just rock paper scissors) 

tubbo and dream sometimes trade places, but tubbo always goes back to the fitting room since he has no idea how the sales floor works 

dream ROCKS old navy clothes 

he abuses the fuck out of his employee discount 

sometimes he’ll get george to give him a bigger discount 

george always wears stuff with brands even though its against dress code (he will not give up his hypebeast shirts) 

bad will let it slide most of the time but not all the time yk?

sapnap shoves his phone into clothes and plays games 

on the quiet days- everyone is on sales floor except tommy. tommy is forbidden from being on sales floor.  

tommy watches from afar as his friends slap each other with hangers and talk shit about the public

his time will come. he will get out of the fitting room

at closing time, dream and george hide in a blind spot and talk for the rest of their shift

sapnap: can you guys please stop flirting and go fold in mens? bad says if we fold everything we can leave early-

dream throws a bundle of socks at sapnap 

george wants to be on sales floor so bad, he complains about register everyday

dream wants to be on register since sales floor is boring to him

bad wont let them switch 

tommy, tubbo, and wilbur always start fights with george, dream, and sapnap

a ‘war’ broke out one night when they were closing

bad made them stay an extra two hours to refold the entire store since they trashed it

george once parkoured over a jean table

sapnap is always friendly to the customers and will ask them how theyre doing as soon as he sees them

scares the shit out the customers at the same time. he’s a ninja

tommy got out of the fitting room once and hid in a rack of dresses so bad couldn’t find him

bad just wants people to open up credit cards

sapnap would bring his girlfriend in a lot and now bad is considering hiring her since shes here so often

on their breaks, they will all sit in a circle and watch the cameras and make fun of people

they have a groupchat called “the navy soilders” and they literally just send the same video of dream falling off the ladder that george pulled from the cameras

PB & (Alcoholic) Punch

i d e k  let me start by apologizing ;-; I have no idea what made me do this bc it just wrote itself in the middle of the night. For any grammatical and punctuation errors, pls add them to my growing list of apologies! Me is sorry if you don’t like it and hate it TuT

Fandom: DCMK Pairing: mostly Heiji/Kazuha and Kaito/Aoko, side Shinichi/Ran and Makoto/Sonoko Rating: NC-17 Genre/Tags: Comedy, Crack, College!AU Warnings: crack!fic, mild sexual content Summary: Sonoko throws a party and when a Truth-or-Dare game takes off, certain things comes into light. (a.k.a Kaito and Aoko finally kiss and Kazuha finds out about Heiji’s daddy kink)

•

“Kuroba is so drunk,” Heiji slurs, pointing towards the other side of the room where Kaito currently has his arms stretched across the window, “Look at him.”

“I know, right?” Shinichi leans back against the wall, and takes a swig from his beer bottle, lazily waving his hand over at another corner of the house. “Look at those two. No, not the dudes in tank tops, there—those two with the bleached hair by the kitchen island. Don’t they know what peanut butter is for?”

“I can think of thirty different ways to use that jar of peanut butter, and none of them involve sandwiches.”

“Wait, Hattori, look at that guy hugging the window. I’m so glad we’re not friends with these weirdos here. ”

“How drunk are you, Kudo? He is our friend. That’s Kuroba, you idiot. Now look at those two over there.”

“That’s us in a mirror, you idiot.”

“Oh yeah.”

Makoto picks his way through the crowd of drunken fools, cringing every time he accidentally steps on some trash or a limb. Wait—was that the crunch from some spilled food on the floor that he stepped on or was it someone’s body part? “This party is such a bad idea,” he mutters. He probably wouldn’t have been here if it’s not his girlfriend who’s hosting the party.

Shinichi and Heiji snicker at his dismay.

Making his way to stand beside them, Kaito sighs into his red cup, already looking like the world’s ended thrice over. “This cruel, sad existence of mine,” he sighs, for the thirty-ninth time, and he downs the cup, already reaching for another on the table he’s conveniently placed himself next to. 

“You’re one of the saddest drunk people I’ve ever met,” comments Makoto mildly. Kaito doesn’t even react, he just sighs again. He’s at the point where it hurts to not let his pent-up feelings out. If anyone wants to make fun of him, so be it.

“Yeah. What’s up your ass?” Shinichi slurs.

“I think I like Aoko,” utters Kaito dolefully, staring out into the crowd, where Kazuha and Ran are teamed up against the horrendously inebriated Sonoko and Aoko for a beer pong challenge, to a group of cheering spectators. “Since you guys said that it’s troublesome to fall in love with girls you grow up with, I have come to the conclusion that I will live my life in pain and sorrow and never again see the light of day as I bury myself in a cave of my own despair.”

Heiji blinks. “God, that is depressing. Let’s get out of here.”

As they move through the crowd, ignoring Kaito’s sighs, and the agonized shrieks that come from a few unfortunate people who they shoved out of their way, a person pops up in front of them suddenly, and Makoto nearly trips over himself in surprise. No more people-stepping for him. “Gah!”

“Holy shit,” says Shinichi, eyes wide, clutching at his chest, “What are you doing here?”

Shiho is bouncing on her heels, smiling wider than a kid at a candy store. “Sonoko dragged me here, duh!” she says, and her voice is high and squeaky. This is rather alarming. “Did you know that there is a secret stash of Red Bull in the pantry? She told me I can make a punch with it. A lot of people like it. I also dropped a bottle of Absolut in there. Do you guys want some? Wait here.”

And she slips away, giggling, leaving the four of them standing in profound silence.

“I’m scarred for life,” says Kaito.

“Never drinking again,” says Shinichi, but then he looks down at his half-full bottle, and he raises it to them, “Cheers!”

“Hey boys!” Sonoko calls out to them in a sing-songy voice, Makoto immediately zig-zags across the room to her side, “Wanna play Truth or Dare with us?”

“Sign us up!” shouts Heiji, and he drags Shinichi and Kaito, who’s still downing his last bits.

The girls and some others are seated in a circle, already playing, and Aoko says, “Truth,” voice cracking due to her skyrocketing anxiety at the anticipation.

“Who here, do you really want to get into bed with?” asks Sonoko cheekily, ignoring the obvious fact that probably, literally, everyone else already knows her answer. Aoko turns even redder, if it’s even possible. “Come on, answer!”

“Can I just switch to dare, please?” begs Aoko under her breath, looking at everyone but at a certain boy.

Sonoko is not giving up. People don’t call her Cupid-sama for no reason. “I dare you to kiss Kuroba-kun!” She says gleefully. Maybe too much glee. Kaito’s eyebrows flew mile-high to the ceiling.

“Well, here goes.” Despite the fact that she’s stuttering, she makes her way to Kaito and plants a shy kiss on Kaito’s mouth, taking him aback. The rest of the room whoop extremely loudly around them.

Kaito, his head spinning and his entire body going red, still reeling from the kiss, goes, “... Aoko?”

She offers him a shy smile and takes the empty space next to him before dropping her voice an octave lower so only he can hear her, “Later,” she promises. “We have to make the best of this game right now.”

“Okay, Kazuha!” Aoko’s eyes glint, and Kazuha gulps, thinking back on all that she’s ever done to Aoko, and what kind of revenge might be swirling around in her head right now. “Truth or dare?”

“Dare,” says Kazuha, because she can do anything that anyone dares her to, because she is a fierce, independent woman. When Kaito leans down to whisper something to Aoko, her confidence wavers. But nevertheless, she has made up her mind. “What do you have for me, Aoko-chan?”

“I dare you to call Hattori-kun ‘daddy’ for the rest of the night,” says Aoko, and the rest goes ‘uuuuuh oooooh~’ in the most annoying, drunken voices possible.

Kazuha blinks. This is the easiest dare that anyone has had, as of tonight. There’s literally no harm that can come out of this. “Done!” But then when she turns to Heiji, she sees that his eyes are wide, and still staring at Aoko and Kaito. “What’s up with you?”

“Nothing,” stutters Heiji, but he’s already glancing nervously between Kazuha’s confused face, and Aoko’s girlish grin and Kaito’s evil eye, tries to distract himself by averting his gaze to Shiho, who just reemerged from the kitchen.

She is walking her way to the group, juggling four cups, and accidentally knocking over a random guest who falls over Sonoko’s beautiful leather couch. 

“Is that her special punch?” Ran observes slowly, who’s been sitting on Shinichi’s lap. 

“Don’t drink her punch,” comes a feeble voice from behind the sofa, who sounds suspiciously like Saguru.

“So, daddy,” tries Kazuha casually, and Heiji freezes in place. “Are you okay? You look a bit flushed, daddy.”

“I’m fine.” Heiji tugs at his t-shirt, and fans at himself. “I need to… go get some fresh air. Or something.”

Kazuha watches in confusion as he dashes away, and she follows, not even noticing the drunken cackle that escapes Kaito’s throat. For a guy who’s a sad, lovesick drunk not half an hour earlier, Kaito sure recovers really fast. Thank Aoko for that.

Kazuha manages to find Heiji pretty easily. She speeds up her pace and catches him just as he is about to close the bathroom door. He nearly jumps, spinning around to face her. “Are you okay? You don’t usually—Oh my God, Heiji! When did that happen?”

Heiji has pitched a rather big tent, clearly visible through the line of his jeans.

“Uh,” says Heiji, and he looks flustered. “Just now?”

“What do you mean just now? We barely even touched each other tonight! We were only playing—“ Kazuha stops herself there, and a flashback of the game runs through her mind. “Oh. I see.” Her lips curl up into a sneaky grin, and she adds for a good measure, “Daddy~”

Heiji quickly pulls her in and locks the door.

“Do you like it when I call you that?” She takes a few steps forward, and Heiji exhales, not taking his gaze away from hers. 

“Christ,” whispers Heiji, just as Kazuha’s fingers trail lightly up the expanse of skin under his t-shirt.

“Come on, daddy,” She whispers in return, snaking a hand around his neck to pull his head down, “I’m all yours, always.”

She can see something in Heiji’s eyes just break, and then he crashes their mouths together in a hot, searing kiss, backing her up against the nearest flat surface, knocking down some things in the process. He kisses like he’s in control, and she lets him. 

Resistance is futile, Heiji realizes, when it comes to Kazuha.

Andy Barber x Daughter!Reader

Warnings: Language To be honest, I absolutely love this idea! I just have a thing for a father Andy Barber thing. Its horrible to think I want him to be my dad.

~~~

  The day was starting to go great so far, you were going through your locker to find your books for your next class. You started looking over those polaroid photos on your locker as you smiled at them.

“Hey, Y/N!” A girl shouts, you turn to wave at the girls, “Hey, guys-” You felt a pair of arms pull you letting you squeal. “Jonathan! Put me down!” You laughed as he spun you and trapped you on the lockers. 

“Morning,” He says, you laughed, “Morning.” Jonathan Rifkin. One of the best athletes in the High School. 

He has a little brother in Middle school still along with mine. “Do you want to go grab scoops at the ice cream parlor? I heard they added cotton candy,” He says. You slightly gasped, “As much as I would like that cotton candy, I have homework.”

“I can help you with that. Drop some ice cream off, too?”

“You’re not dropping by, remember my dad?” You asked, he didn’t seem to care about your dad. Almost everyone’s parents were lawyers. “Pfft, your dad’s not scary.”

“He is when he can be, come on. It’ll only be just for today. I can facetime you,” You slightly shove him and Jonathan grins. “You know I hate this distancing thing you do.”

“Oh stop, complaining isn’t gonna get you anywhere.”

“Get to class love birds!” A girl calls in a sing songy voice. You rolled your eyes at your best friend and closed your locker. “Come on, I’ll go to class with you.” You two made your way to your next class, his arm holding you close as you did.

.

The teacher spoke his lecture as you wrote down the notes he had to list. Glancing up to see Jonathan staring at you. You look at him weirdly. What?

He shrugs back at you. Nothing. You ignored him as you smiled, looking back down at your notes. After a few seconds, the comm goes off.

“Attention Archer High is now on lockdown, effective immediately,” The horn blares in the classrooms as the windows began to use the lockdown covers, “All students are to remain in their classrooms.” Everyone began to stand up in panic. 

Your heart would’ve collapsed when Jonathan came for you first and helped you over to the wall as one of the earlier procedures from the beginning of the school year. “All right, everyone stay calm.”

Your teacher began to turn off the lights and closed the door and locked it. You sat next to Jonathan, “I’m gonna call Ben, see if he’s okay.” You nod at him as you stayed close to Jonathan.

If your brother is also in lockdown. What is happening? Everyone was on their phones, possibly contacting their parents or gossiping what they’re assuming is happening.

Jonathan groans, “He’s not picking up.”

You look over, “Do you want me to call him?” Jonathan shakes his head, “I called him three times, he’s not picking up.” You reached for your phone and pulled it out. 

Finding your dad’s contact, you pulled the phone up to your ear.

“Pick up, dad...”

“Y/N, sweetheart. You okay?” He asks.

You looked around, “Yeah, I’m okay.The high school’s on lockdown, have you heard from Jacob?”

“I did. He’s okay. I was wondering when you’ll call, but you two will be okay,”Your dad said. You sighed, “Who is it? What’s happening.”

“I can’t talk about it right now, sweetheart. Just... Just stay calm and listen to your teachers, do what they say, okay?”

“Is it a psycho shooter, dad?”

“No, it’s nothing like that, honey. You’re safe,” He says, you felt Jonathan pull you closer as you nod, “Okay.”

“All right, I love you,” He said. You lowered your head, “Love you, too.” Then you hung up.

You huddled closer to Jonathan as he rubbed your shoulders. 

.

You returned home not too long after. The police cleared from whatever happened and you walked back home after Jonathan got a call from his parents and he left early. 

He didn’t tell you what happened but he left before he could.

You returned home and tried to message Jonathan. He would reply late but you only left it to one message because you didn’t want to stress him. Your mom, Laurie drove you back home along with Jacob’s friend, Derek.

Derek was gonna play video games with him. You sat in your room and looked at your phone. Everything from the news was popping up. A 14-year-old boy was murdered in the Cold Spring Park.

The park where Jacob comes through. You were interrupted by a knock on the door and you shot up, “Come in.”

The door opens to Laurie and Andy. “Hey, sweetheart,” Laurie says, she comes over to sit on the edge of your bed so you lift your knees up. Andy leans on the wooden edge of your bed as they look over.

“How you doing?” Andy asked.

You look up to them, “Who was it? The body, I mean...” Andy had his arms crossed as he looks at Laurie. “It was a kid from Jacob’s school, Ben.”

“Rifkin?” You asked. Andy doesn’t nod but the look on him knew you were right. You dropped your head into your hands. “Honey, what’s wrong?” Laurie asked, you felt her hand on your knee.

“I just...” You sniffled, “I know Ben’s brother and... he must be...” Laurie looks up to Andy heartbroken. He looks at you and walks over, “Hey...” He sits down on the bed and wraps his arm over your shoulder. 

“We’re sorry about this. If there’s anything you want to say to us, we’re here for you, okay?” Laurie says, your head gets pulled to Andy’s chest as he rubs his hand down your arm. “We love you. Very much,” Andy said.

You nod, “I know. I love you, too,” Andy smiles as he placed a kiss on her head and then Laurie does. “We’ll talk to Jake about this, okay? We’ll have dinner in 30 minutes.” 

The two leave your room and you reached for your phone, going to Jonathan’s contacts and you looked at the message.

Hey, you okay? Read at 8:07

You bite your lip and pulled the phone away before laying flat on your bed. That night you skipped dinner.

.

The next morning you got up, after not eating dinner, you had a big breakfast. Laurie was packing a few things for you and Jacob while Andy was throwing on a tie.

“How come you didn’t come down for dinner?” Andy asked, you turn to him but looked away. “I wasn’t hungry. I was doing homework.” Laurie and Andy look at each other afterwards and he turned away.

Laurie continues her packing, “I’ll drive you two to school, okay?” Jacob nods while you packed your bag and looked at your phone. Still no messages from Jonathan.

“We’re gonna be late,” Laurie says, rushing over to Andy. “I’ll see you later,” Laurie kisses Andy as he sighs, “Okay. Be good, guys.” 

.

Laurie dropped you off first, stopping just at the front of the school. “Okay, sweetheart, I love you.” You stepped out and grabbed your bag, “Love you too. Bye Jake.”

“Bye,” Jacob said. You closed the door and walked up to the front. “Y/N!” Someone calls out, your best friend, Rose rushed up. “You heard about Ben-?”

“Yeah, have you seen Jonathan?” You asked, Rose looks around, “I saw him with his friends, he seemed pretty upset. I mean by the look on his face, I’m sure he won’t mind you.”

You walked forward and headed down the halls. You went to find his locker. He’s usually by his locker during the mornings with his friends. You walked over to his locker and spotted him with his friends.

You saw his friends leave him on his own, giving you the chance to talk to him. Just him.

Jonathan opens his locker and you leaned next to it. “Hey...” You said, Jonathan looks over and you could see the agony, his eyes were almost red from possibly late night tears and lack of sleep.

You gazed up at him, “Come here.”

He fully turns towards you and you pulled him into a hug. Your arms were pulling his neck down so his head nuzzled in your neck as his arms held your waist. “It’s gonna be okay,” You run your hand through the brown locks in his hair to soothe him.

“I’m sorry I didn’t text you back,” He muttered.

You grinned, “I’m not mad about that. I understood what you were feeling. It’s okay.”

He pulls away and sniffles, “I was... thinking to have you over.”

“For Ben?” You asked, he nods, “My mom was gonna talk to yours about that, I was thinking you’d hear it from me.” You nod as you took his hand. “Of course, I wanna be there for you.”

“Your dad was there when it happen, right?” He asked, you nod. “No more, okay? I don’t want you to feel any worse than now. I’m sure I can go and get ice cream with you after school.”

Jonathan managed to smile as he leans down. You feel his lips on yours and he pulls away. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

.

After that day, Laurie had taken you and Jacob to the Rifkin’s house. You were the first one to walk in. People looked at you and your family. You turn to Laurie, “When is dad coming?” You asked. Laurie looks around, “He’ll be here in a few minutes, you and Jacob can go hang out with the kids in the other room. Here, Jake, I can take your coat.” 

Jacob removes his coat and Laurie takes it upstairs as you walk into the other room filled with middle school kids.

They all looked at you as you and Jacob walked in. You were the only high school kid in the room. Not till Jonathan came in and he wore a suit and tie. “Hey,” He says, you looked at him and smiled.

“Hey,” You look over to Jacob who sat down on the couch, Jonathan followed your gaze. “Do you want to go up to my room?” He asked. You nod, “Yeah, sure.” You’ve never been to his house but you wanted to. Not like this.

Not for his brother’s murder. 

“Hey, dad,” Jonathan says, he entered what looked like Ben’s room. His father, Dan looks over, “This is-uh, Y/N, from school.” You waved softly, “Mr. Rifkin.”

Dan smiles, “You’re Andy’s kid are you?”

You nod, “I’m his oldest. Jacob is my brother.” Dan nods, “You two must be very good to your parents, are you?” He asked.

You nod once again, “We try not to give him a hard time.” Dan smiles sadly as he turns away. A few seconds in, Jonathan cuts the awkwardness, “I’m gonna go show her around in my room.”

“Okay, son.”

You followed Jonathan over to his room, seeing the posters on his wall. His jersey from the school team on his bed with the desk that had controllers and a game console. 

You looked around and smiled, “It’s really cool. I like it,” You say, taking a seat on his bed.

Jonathan smiled, “It’s not that cool, I guess. I took hours to clean it.” You laughed lightly as you looked over to him when he sat. 

.

Andy was looking around for Jacob once he got there. People were staring and asking questions about Ben’s case. He didn’t want to give them anything so he wanted to take Jacob with him while Laurie was getting a ride from Toby.

He looks in the room filled with kids as he spotted Jacob in the chair, “Hey.” Jacob looks up and spots his dad, “You ready to go?” He asked.

“Yeah, sure,” Jacob replied. Andy nods at him, “Did you bring your coat?” Jacob nods, “Uh, mom put it upstairs.” Andy nods, “Where’s your sister?”

Jacob looks over to the right, “She went up with some boy, I’m pretty sure she’s upstairs, too.”

“Okay, I’ll go find your coat and sister. Meet me at the front door.”

.

You held the photo book in your hands as you flipped through the pages. “This is when I first got on a coaster, when I was tall enough.” You laughed, “You were so cute,” You looked over the photos.

“Then I took baseball practice in this picture. Our first game, I scored two home runs,” You hear Jonathan say, you smiled and closed the book. You stood up with Jonathan and held his hands in yours.

He looked down at them and ran his thumbs over them. “You know... every time when I’m alone... I think of him,” You look up to him but his eyes never looked at yours. “But when I’m with you,” He lifts up his head and smiles, “Every thing goes away. It’s just you who I think of.”

You smiled at him and kissed his cheek, “I love you.”

He grins, “I love you, too.”

You heard someone walk over and you both look to his door and saw your father come in view. “Y/N, you here?” He asked as he stops to see you and Jonathan. “Oh,” He says, spotting your hands laced with Jonathan’s, “Hi.”

You cleared your throat and pulled your hand out of Jonathan’s, “Hey, dad.” Andy nods at her, “You ready to go? I was gonna take you and Jake back home.” You saw Jake’s coat in his arms and you look at Jonathan.

You can go.

You nod at Jonathan and nodded at your dad, Andy smiles at Jonathan, “I’ll see you at the front door,” He says to you before leaving. Once he left, you see Jonathan’s eyes go wide. 

“Shit, he knows now.”

You smiled, “It’s okay. Even if he was upset, I’d talk him out of it. Now I have to go.”

“Wait!” Jonathan pulls you back and placed a kiss on your lips. You smiled, “Bye.” You stopped and reached over to the jersey on his bed. “I’m stealing this by the way,” You say.

He chuckles, “Just go.” You trotted out of the room with his jersey as you head down the stairs and spotted Andy at the door. Andy looks up to see Jonathan on the stop of the stairs. He gives him a nod and the Barber family walks out.

.

Andy had his hand on top of the wheel as he glanced over to you. Your hands clicking on the phone, texting what might have been Jonathan. “No texting while I’m driving, Y/N. I’m sure the boy would complain.”

“Dad, don’t start,” You say. He smiles, “Hey, your mother and I were the same, I’m just saying, he’s a good kid. He’s Ben’s brother?”

“Yeah, he is,” You say. Jacob laughs, “Did you catch them in the act?” You turned in your seat and glared at Jacob. Andy chuckles, “Some high school sweethearts.”

“Can you guys stop!” You asked, Andy smiles. “Is he a good kisser?”

You shrugged, “Oh, why don’t you find out, dad!” You say. Jacob cackles in the back as you grew red. Andy looks over, “I scared him, didn’t I? He looked like he saw a ghost.”

“Dad, stop...” You covered your face.

Andy shakes his head as he sighs, “Did you guys get something to eat?” He  asks. “Not much,” Jacob replied. You look over to Andy who looks at you for an answer.

“Did you?” He asked, “And don’t tell me it was J-”

“Dad,” You say, “No. Just go to the diner.” Andy grins as he keeps driving. You were red as a tomato through the whole drive.

And none of those boys never ended the teasing ever since.

i bet that like jon and steve would both have crushes on the other but not wanna admit it until one day steve cant take it and he just kisses jonathan bc hey he wants to + jonathans too unsure and scared and never would've on his own

(I like the way you think anon)Steve can’t stand Jonathan’s stupidly cute face, it’s disgusting. At first he was unsure whether or not he’d actually get along with the guy, they seemed to be from two separate worlds in his perspective. But after spending a little time together (with Nancy there to mediate of course), he was shocked to find that Jonathan wasn’t as annoying and weird as he thought.Of course he was still annoying and weird, but in a way that Steve actually liked… What sort of alternate universe was this, anyway? He made sarcastic comments and kept his distance, sometimes he could barely make eye contact with them. But over time it seemed to fade, and then Steve realized very quickly that he didn’t like where things were going.Nancy had left for college early, which was possibly one of the saddest days of Steve’s young life. He’d sat on the curb with Jonathan after saying their goodbyes, eyes burning a little and postures slumped. Jonathan seemed just as bummed as Steve was, but he wasn’t the one that had been dumped! After that, things were all downhill.There was a few incidents with some gross monsters, which was stressful and not to mention scary enough to make even grown men cry. But they held up under the pressure, Joyce, Hopper, and the kids were all dealing with the same thing. There was a mutual comradery between himself and Byers, and really neither of them had any friends but each other.It was bound to happen eventually, he supposed. But he quickly recognized the signs of a stupid, stupid, stupid crush forming. Jonathan Byers was stupidly loyal and stupidly cute, and Steve didn’t want to do anything but shove him around until he got the hint and either kissed him or left him (He really didn’t want to be left, but his slightly damaged emotions offered him no other options). However, Jonathan wasn’t like that, he didn’t respond to being roughed up. Steve hated to admit it, but he didn’t want to tease Jonathan (past their normal limits of course, he had to have fun on occasion) or hurt him in the slightest. So he decided to go the extra mile and be nicer than usual.“Here, Byers.” He grumbles when the young man answers the door, practically shoving the box of candy into his arms before stepping past him inside. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”“You got me candy?” Jonathan splutters as he follows Steve closely towards his room. Steve hated that his mind compared him to a lost puppy sometimes, some stray Nancy had picked up and Steve came to love and got stuck with instead.“We’re lonely losers, Byers, who else is gonna get you candy? Besides, Valentine’s Day is over, that was on clearance.” He explains it away, flopping down on Jonathan’s messy bed ungracefully.Jonathan seats himself on the edge of the bed, staring down at the box of candy with his cheeks tinged a red color. Always embarrassed and flustered, damn him, why’d he have to be so cute?“Thanks, I guess.” Jonathan turns to him when Steve sits up slowly, and then they’re too close to each other. Neither of them are moving away, and Steve feels like there’s a magnet in his lips that is drawn to the one in Jonathan’s (what sort of lovesick crap is that anyway?). He leans in and mashes their lips together, Jonathan doesn’t really respond but he doesn’t pull away either. When Steve pulls back, he can tell that his face is the same color if not brighter than Jonathan’s. They both stare at each other for a moment, and Steve scowls.“Why’d you gotta be so damn attractive?” He huffs, irritated and mortified with himself. Jonathan’s face scrunches up in adorable confusion for a moment before his lips twitch with an amused smirk.“Steve Harrington likes Jonathan Byers, who would have thought?” Jonathan whispers finally, and Steve rolls his eyes. “C’mere, Harrington.” He pulls Steve back in with a hand on the back of his neck, clumsily kissing him.It wasn’t experienced or even that good of a kiss, but damnit Steve enjoyed every second of it. Maybe his stupid crush wasn’t so bad after all.

oh you bet… it’s not that it’s cluttered with a ton of stuff or anything it’s just that i tend to leave clothes all over my bed instead of putting them where i should and plus my closet and wardrobe are extremely disorganized because i just like shove random clothes in there,, same with other drawers full of school supplies and stuff, i can never put away stuff neatly it seems

6. describe your personality in 3 words or less

bore, bored, and boring

14. if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why?

oh man idk, i think i’d just like to live somewhere where it’s not easy to be isolated, like right now i live in a small house where there’s no sidewalks in my neighborhood and it’s impossible to walk down the street without a car zooming past and i’ve lived here for about 11 years and i only know one of my neighbors and i just hate it a lot. i remember before i moved when i was 5, i lived in a small city in a multi-residential house, and me and the three other kids who lived in it would always hang out together, and my grandma would like to take us to the small little cluster of grocery stores and bodegas less than a mile from our house and buy us candy and fun-yuns and stuff, and maybe i just remember it so fondly because i was just a little kid, but i really do miss that. 

26. how many pillows do you sleep with?

i’m a one pillow kinda person, more than that bothers my neck

31.  3 favorite boy names

um elijah, oliver, and leo i guess

32. 3 favorite girl names

35. who is your celebrity crush?

if you follow me you pretty much know who all of them are,, uhh lemme think who don’t i post about too much

brandon flowers is,, a big one like i don’t get how he just looks!! like that!!

and um,, yeah i guess i do post about him frequently, but gerard way is truly one of the most beautiful people to exist

36. favorite movie? 

um idk honestly, but i guess i’ll say either the breakfast club or heathers

41. top 10 favorite songs

currently: fob’s cover of i wanna dance with somebody by whitney houston, there is a light that never goes out by the smiths, flaming hot cheetos by clairo, empty by kevin abstract, don’t panic by coldplay, music when the lights go out by the libertines, pale shelter by tears for fears, desert song by mcr, the numbers by radiohead, and isolation by john lennon

51. how old were you when you found out santa wasnt real?

55. what is your dream job?

i’m not really sure what i’d like to do yet, but if i was good at it, i think it’d be cool to be a baker, my cousin is one, and he has the quaintest bakery and makes the best chocolate croissants, and idk it just sounds fun

idk, i guess it depends if i ever find someone i want to marry

76. what color looks best on you? 

oh lol idk i don’t put nearly enough effort into how i look to notice… black maybe? sjdnjdfjhfdjj

80. what is your biggest pet peeve? 

i think pretty much all my pet peeves boil down to people who are narrow-minded and can’t listen to or respect other people, while it’s talking over/ignoring others in conversation, or being inconsiderate of people’s feelings. 

94. favorite lyrics right now

I’m big, humongous, enormous and smallAnd it’s not fair that I am nothing and nobody’s there

- Declan McKenna, Humongous

so i decided to finally check out his stuff at the beginning of this month because he was showing up in my recommended a lot, and man for being pretty young (18? 19? im not quite sure) he’s putting out some insightful stuff. this is probably my favorite song of his i’ve heard thus far, and it just like, hits the nail on how frustrating it is to be a teenager. you’re bigger, and you have to make big decisions about the future, but older adults still look down on you like you’re small, and oftentimes don’t value your opinion. it’s enough to make you feel worthless and that “no one truly understands”. 

97. dark, milk, or white chocolate? 

milk definitely, i think dark chocolate is so bitter, and i havent had white chocolate since i was little so i honestly cant have an opinion on it
