MOREE headcannons for choso i really do love your other headcannons! heh
hell yes i love how open this is i'm gonna give ya such a random smattering of choso headcanons <3 tagging @delzinrowe bc it's choso and we talk abt him a lot so some of the credit for this has to go to her <3 ___
choso is a bit of a menace at the grocery store, but he doesn't mean to be. he's intrigued by all the packaging of different snacks and drinks- sometimes just regular products too like tissue boxes or toilet paper rolls. it often takes a couple hours to get the shopping done with him in tow. he's drawn in like a child to a candy bar!! if something is packaged in bright colors, expect to have to tell him what the product is, because he's gonna be interested in it.
i think he'd hate carbonated drinks. i think the bubbles would be a shock to his system ((did he even drink water before he met you??)) but i think he'd LOVE flavored milk. chocolate and strawberry. picturing choso casually having a lil carton of milk in his hand makes me soft. he'd go to yuji as soon as you introduce him to the wonderful beverage to see if his brother had ever tried such a delicious treat.
choso's always touching you. he doesn't know what pda is, but he's very into it... in an oblivious way. if he's not holding your hand, then his arm is around you. if you're sitting together he prefers to have you on his lap, but tucked into his side and under his arm is the next best thing. and he'll kiss you, anywhere, anytime. standing in line at the bank? the sunlight caught your eyes just right and he was just overwhelmed with the urge to cup your face and kiss you so longingly one could assume you were lovers reunited after years apart... but no, you've just been in this line together for fifteen minutes. you could tell him there's a time and place for such acts of passion but... whew you gotta catch your breath first, don't you??
he's always catching lil critters to show you. he noticed you liked to point out when there's a squirrel crossing the street, or a lady bug on the windowsill, so he notes that little creatures are some of your favorites. now on walks he keeps an eye out for any critter to present you with. he's caught all sorts of things with ease and surprising gentleness- despite being a massive hunk of muscle. he's managed to catch (and later release, of course) rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, toads, a couple of turtles, possums, even street rats. as well as bugs- just about any bug he sees. some are more exciting than others, the dragonflies, the ladybugs, rollie pollies, caterpillars, snails.... you could probably do without the roaches and big spiders, but you try not to show your squeamish side as you thank him for showing you and politely ask him to put it back on the ground <3
choso pouts if you don't shower with him. bc why wouldn't you? he got the water to the temperature you like... what, is he supposed to shampoo his own hair?? are you mad at him??
choso is quickly becoming a favorite of mine i'm sorry gojo but i have to cope somehow

˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖ shoto todoroki x reader word count: 1773
Tumblr media
pretty boy shoto todoroki is viewed as unattainable - not just to you, to everyone who ever sees him. his eyes pierce, his skin almost glows, and his demeanour is arguably cold. that's why your admiration of him is purely that. you wouldn't be stupid enough to develop a crush on him, surely.
wrong, actually. he's agile, lithe, and terrifying, but the current obsession of your brain. always hanging around izuku, or studying, or training. you never really had the time to have made any progress on your friendship aside from being picked for group tasks, and even then you had struggled. social situations are never easy, but they're another realm of difficult when it's todoroki you're socialising with. that's why your hands shake as you cut mushrooms, his voice in your ears as he discusses the latest assignment.
"how are you finding it?" shoto asks, voice void of any emotion as he converses with izuku. izuku laughs lightly and shrugs, admitting he's also struggling, his green hair tied back in what could almost be called a manbun, though it's more of a hopeless ponytail.
"mm, i could be doing better!" he laughs, turning to you. "how are you coping?"
you pause for a second to face him, avoiding shoto's gaze at all costs despite the way he's looking at you like you could qualify for the most interesting thing in the world. "i'm almost done, i just have a few things to finish up, and then i've gotta get it under the word count," you grimace. "i have about 2000 words but it's supposed to be 1500,"
shoto quirks an eyebrow at that. "already? have you been working on it since the second it was assigned?" he asks, leaning back in the chair to look at you. you laugh nervously, suddenly finding the meal you're preparing very interesting.
"i mean, yeah? i don't like being.. behind on things i suppose," you mumble, embarrassed at how little sense you're making. but shoto, the beautiful devil, nods like you made the most sense in the world. his face softens and he stands up, making his way over to you and gently taking the knife from your hand.
"go get it, i'll help you cut down on words," he offers, resuming your chopping of vegetables like it was his job in the first place. you shake your head, but you don't dare to take the knife back off him.
"oh it's no worries! the deadline is like, a week away!" you fret, reaching over him to grab the garlic and mincer. "i need to read over it anyway before i even try to reduce words!" you laugh, and izuku grins at you, noticing the pink of your ears.
shoto frowns and gently crowds your space, all to aware of the way you'd move if he got too close - and you do, moving out of his way and letting him have free reign of the kitchen. "i'll read it, and i'll help you cut down on the word count." he argues, looking you dead in the eyes.
any argument you had dies on your tongue, you just nod and head to your dorm to grab your laptop, baffled about the turn of events today is taking. before presenting shoto your laptop, you quickly make sure everything other than the document is closed, not wanting anything that could incriminate you there - such as the messages between you and ochako about how terrifyingly attractive the boy is. with a huff, you make your way back to the kitchen and place the laptop on the desk. "now let me cook," you say, holding out your hand for the knife.
shoto looks at you and smiles, like he's somehow humoured by your boldness, and he is. he didn't expect you, the girl who stares so intensely at him that he learned to tell your gaze from others, to be so bold with him. he hands you the knife, but also takes your hand in his and guides it to the green onion he was chopping for you.
"here, let me show you how to dice it," he hums, starting to manoeuvre you through the motions, before lifting his hand. "your go," he steps back, crossing his arms over his chest. you make the mistake of turning to look back at him, heat dusted over your cheeks and eyes wide, and your mouth goes dry at the way he's watching you
your hands shake a little as you copy his motions, but it must have been good enough for todoroki because he lets out a little pleased hum and heads over to your laptop, sitting in front of it and starting to read. izuku just grins, wandering over to help with the cooking.
you end up engrossed in a conversation about cooking with izuku, both of you working seamlessly along each other to prep your meal. somewhere along the line, you triple the portion size, intending to give both shoto and izuku a bowl in payment for helping you, and izuku notices this when you go back to chop more mushrooms.
"aw, are we having a triple date?" he teases, and you laugh at him, loud and clear, and it draws shoto's attention back to you for a second.
"no! i just thought i'd make you guys some too, since you're both helping me. it's just soba, it won't be anything too spectacular, but I just, i mean, you don't have to have it!" you laugh, gently nudging izuku, and shoto feels his chest tighten at the combination of you cooking his favourite meal, and cooking him a portion too. you look wonderful to him, hair tied back for cooking, sleeves rolled up, and a defensive look on your face as you bicker with izuku. he swallows, forcing himself to get a grip, and turns back to your paper, trying to drown out one of the prettiest sounds he's sure he'll ever hear - your laugh.
by the time you've finished cooking, shoto has finished reading through your paper and he's cutting the words down for you, so he jumps a little when you place down a bowl of soba in front of him with a soft smile. "there you are, i hope you enjoy it," you murmur, sitting down beside him with your own bowl. izuku has took off to his dorm with his, excusing himself to also work on the assignment.
shoto's mouth waters at the smell, and he smiles graciously at you. "it looks wonderful, thank you," he hums, setting your laptop down to eat. you just beam, a sight that makes shoto's stomach flutter, and tuck into your own food. at the first taste, shoto swears he's fallen in love, and his little groan at the taste makes your stomach do somersaults and your brain go fuzzy for a second.
it's at this moment, you both realise you're utterly fucked. something changes in the air, shoulders pressed against each others as you eat in silence, occasionally exchanging comments about the assignment, or the food, or izuku. before long, you're leaning into his side and he's subconsciously raising the temperature of his left side, and your eyelids are drooping as you relax further and further into his embrace. shoto's hand rests politely on your hip, and he's murmuring to you quietly about your paper, but you're honestly not listening.
he notices, because of course he does, and he just laughs. "something on your mind?" he asks, not really expecting a committed response from you, so it shocks him when you nod.
"why are you, someone so.. unattainable, helping me? you're miles smarter than me, stronger, everything. what do you get out of this?" you ask, a hint of insecurity creeping into your voice. shoto is taken aback, looking at you like you've grown a second head.
"i don't help you because i expect something in return. i helped you and you cooked for me. that was more than i ever expected." he murmurs, gently squeezing your side where his hand lies, and you squirm a little, but you laugh. that's good enough for shoto. "and the food was incredible," he admits.
your stomach flips again, and as you look up at him, you find him looking back at you with a sincere expression. it's enough to give your silly heart hope that he could just maybe like you back, if you were to admit you liked him. luckily, it doesn't come to that, because shoto huffs lightly and squeezes your side again, much lighter
"if you want me to ask for something in return, i can," he murmurs, and you nod lightly, not quite trusting your voice at this point. he just nods back, a subtle and gentle movement so as not to ruin the spell you're both under.
"let me kiss you," shoto asks, his brows pinched together a little, like he's terrified you'll say no, which he absolutely is. you inhale, holding the breath while you process what he's just asked. unattainable, untouchable shoto todoroki has just asked your permission for him to kiss you. as though you'd say no, as though this isn't exactly your dream scenario, as though your daydreams haven't been plagued with thoughts of what it would be like to be the one person who has attained shoto todoroki.
you don't quite give him an answer, but you do lean up and press your lips against his. it's tentative to begin with, but shoto kisses you back, and it doesn't take long before he's pulling you closer and kissing you deeper. the spices from the soba dance across your tongues, and you're pushing him lightly against the couch in an attempt to get impossibly closer to him. he's panting into your mouth, the kisses increasing in intensity before you both pull away for air, staring at each other and seeing him in a way you never have before.
he groans lightly, and this time he notices how your ears turn pink and your breathing quickens, and it takes less than a second for him to tug you back in, kissing you like a starved man. you're both lost in your own worlds, hands roaming slightly, his up your shirt and on the small of your back, and yours gripping his bicep. you only pull away when you need to, and shoto just laughs breathlessly.
"if this is what cooking for you gets me, i'll be your live-in chef," you whisper, huffing out a laugh, and shoto just grins, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead.
"you could always just be my partner instead,"

Hiii, I just imagined a scene where Naoya and y/n sleeping in the same bed, but they don't get along, because y/n hates him for the things he did, but then he asks her with the most pleading voice ever: "can I hold you?" and it just melts my heart. (for the arranged marriage au)
Hello!!
This was really sweet and angsty :( I had to write it I'm sorry. lol I won't distract you from it now!!
Anyways, here are the warnings: misogyny. arranged marriage. you're getting yelled at.
Happy reading!!
Also, I'm unsure where this arranged marriage au came from, but I tend to take it as a guiding point as the context behind naoya's and y/n's relationship hahaha—unless this is referring to first it hurts? unsure unsure... hope you like it anyways :3!
Tumblr media
If were talking about a marriage that even when having a rough start, Naoya and you still managed to fall in love…
Then we gotta go all the way back to the beginning. Where you don’t know Naoya at all, and technically, Naoya doesn’t know you either.
Yet, he still knew he wanted to marry you. Because of all prospects out there, you were perhaps the best choice… or maybe there was something deeper inside him pushing him to favor you?
But regardless of what you and Naoya think, the moment both clans know of their suitability, an agreement was struck, a marriage of “convenience”—intended to obtain a better future, or at least a more tolerable present.
Due to the nature of this decision, you obviously weren’t consulted. Not even aware of until a week before the grand celebration!
Still, you did your best to call off the engagement. Justify that this union couldn’t amount to anything due to your ignorance regarding the Zen’in and their ways, how you wouldn’t be able to fit in what they considered appropriate, and how unwilling you were to put your family in such humiliation—things that were more than anything, trying to appease your clan’s approval, not truly reflecting your true emotions…
But the decision was firmly set, so much so that as soon as Naoya became aware of the faintest possibility of his engagement crumbling, urged your family to push the date earlier, just so you couldn’t argue against it any longer.
Eventually, the ceremony finally occurs, and while everyone is celebrating the union of a powerful clan and all the benefits that ensued, you couldn’t be any more dejected about it.
It was nothing but evident, even in the pictures taken afterwards, that the only ones happy about this were everyone but you.
How they were elated to see your suffering is something that you’d never be able to comprehend, as well as the “friendly” manner Naoya attempted to approach you, as if trying to distract you from the fact that he roped you into this union, probably even threatened your family into it given his clan’s reputation…
You didn’t want to do anything with him—nothing at all. Not even giving him a chance to get to know him. He didn’t deserve that.
All that he could get from you was nothing.
Nothing
And that would be apparent in the way you’d avoid him at all costs, to the point where even your marriage was not consummated during the honeymoon.
The Zen’in elders had yet to believe that such thing had been the truth; thinking it to be some kind of baseless rumor created from the owners of the ryokan both stayed in order to… well, humiliate the Zen’in heir—either way, they did not believe it. Didn’t think someone like Naoya could’ve allowed such transgression to occur...
But it did.
It was the undeniable truth: you did not want to be near him in any shape or form.
Because you didn’t even agree to marry him, what made them think you’d be willing to be intimate with Naoya?!
Unfortunately, your reasoning isn’t something the elders from both his and your family cared about—they simply wanted to see fruits of this union to cement their agreement as soon as possible.
And to achieve that, they started pressuring Naoya to act.
Naoya would try to first “ease” you by giving you gifts, as his relatives would suggest, for “women, as much as they’re sentimental, they’re also materialistic. Specially the modern ones.” They’d say. “Give them a few things, tell them nice words, and you’ll see how easily they succumb to your demands.”
Naoya didn’t question their patronizing words, nor cared to demand respect towards his wife, because at that point, feeling both humiliated and perhaps discouraged by your aloof behavior, all that your husband wanted was to close the broadening gap between the two, one that had evidently grown bigger and bigger with each passing day.
The gifts started with basic things he believed girls liked, such as: jewelry, clothes, accessories… objects that you didn’t end up paying mind to, or actually liked for they were none of your allure—just to highlight the fact that he knew nothing of you, nor bothered to find out.
Given the failure of this attempt, Naoya swiftly believed you were the type of person that liked to be rewarded with a good time, going out and such.
And while Naoya wasn’t particularly fond of these activities, not when he’s already gotten what he wanted, didn’t mean he was sympathetic to the fact you were nothing but apathetic to his alternatives—if anything, you appeared to be disgusted by them.
Naturally, it didn’t take long for Naoya to grow desperate beyond this point.
Yes, he imagined that something so out of the blue couldn’t sail smoothly at the beginning, didn’t expect it either… but shouldn’t his efforts count for something? Be recognized for what they’re worth? For what they represent?
It’s not easy for him, it couldn’t be for someone raised in the circumstances he did.
But if the things that are worthwhile take effort, then why isn’t he seeing results??
Naoya is tired of the way you dismally behave towards him. The way you always ignore him, the way you act like he’s not even there, when he’s your husband, the man who you will more likely spend the rest of your life with. The father of your children!
Yet, you act like he is nothing.
At the thought, alongside the nth failed approach, Naoya loses his cool.
Dropping everything on the spot and yelling his frustrations at you, careless of who saw, where he was, in such way a way that lets you know he has been holding onto this for a while now—
And that he’s not only capable of that, but more.
Naoya didn’t mean to.
Naoya didn’t intend to… lash out the way he did, yell as loud as he did, insult you as harshly as he had done…
But it simply came out like that.
His emotions getting the best of him, completely overriding any semblance of common sense, decency… and seemingly putting down the last nail onto the coffin this marriage was doomed to be enclosed in from the very beginning.
The only time Naoya manages to snap out of his trance is when he sees the frightened, tearful way your eyes look back to him, body trembling, throat tight, speechless, as you take one, two steps away from him, before turning around and running away, to seemingly nowhere he could find you for the rest of the day.
Your husband was never one to measure his words, care about the way they could impact others, but when he sees the consequences of his actions for the first time in his life, he quickly finds himself regretting all that he done towards you, immediately urged to mend whatever he could before this marriage crumbles even more—if there was anything to rescue by this point.
But as much as he considered himself to be diligent, a good sorcerer, with a keen eye that nothing ever escapes him, he can’t find you.
No matter where he searched, or how many times he’s asked the staff to cooperate, demand an answer of your whereabouts less they wanted to be fired, you were nowhere to be found.
At one point, Naoya believed you had escaped the estate. Even though there was nowhere for you to run given the location they were in, he couldn’t overrule this possibility thanks to your prolonged absence, to the point where he’s already gathering up a search crew to find you—
Until he finds you back in his bedroom, lying on your side of the futon, with your eyes to the wall, as close as the edge as possible, just as you always did when sharing a bed with him, already deep into slumber.
The first thing anyone would’ve done is demanded an explanation from you, seek to know where you’d been, reprimand you for thinking this was even right in the first place…
But all that Naoya could muster is a sigh, relieved to see you again, seemingly well, and there with him once again.
Yet, as much as he is glad to see this familiar sight… he knows nothing has changed.
If anything, it just worsened.
Naoya is tired.
He doesn’t feel like putting up a fight, or stopping you when you inevitably move away from him once he joins you in bed; so, all that he does is dismiss whatever plans he had in mind before changing out of his attire, stepping into his nightwear, slip onto the futon, and drift into sleep, which he assumes will happen in a matter of minutes.
But it doesn’t.
No matter how much he tries, how many sheep he counts or how many numbers he goes through, Naoya cannot succumb to his exhaustion, ignore the presence next to him, nor his desire to be close to you.
Even if you were there, he doesn’t believe it. He can’t believe it.
Because for a moment, for a very, very brief moment, he thought he’d lost you.
And it was the worst feeling he had ever experienced in his life.
He knows, deep in his heart, that his attempts haven’t been nice. He knows that his actions hadn’t been ones that many would consider right when trying to approach their partner, seen them fail countless times in the past—
But even with all these failures, having lead them to nowhere…
Naoya still wants to be close to you. Wants to be in your life, and you in his.
He doesn’t ask for much, he never needed much if he’s being honest.
To simply have you there, alongside him, was enough to achieve what he considered his own personal happiness.
So, with all the pain in his heart for his actions and the relief to have you there with him for another night at least, he is urged to move closer to you. Slowly shifting onto his side and sliding closer and closer to you, until he’s barely inches away from you.
Naoya’s never said it before, but his thoughts always remained the same when it came to it: he loves your scent. The overwhelming way it filled his mind, with thoughts of nothing of you…
Of the shiny way your hair looks underneath the sunlight, how soft he imagines it to be, or at least has the idea from the brief times he’s touched it, regretting how he always seemed focused on everything else but that, how he would do anything to thread his fingers through it, or make your face brighten when he compliments it.
And of course, the undeniable, most vital thing he could not live without: your warmth. The sensation that always welcomed him whenever joining you at night, which he wishes he could bask in all the time, every single second of the day: when coming home from a long day at work, or when he’s feeling particularly down.
Naoya would do anything to have you in his arms, and to not feel like he was forcing you to be there, trapped with nothing less than your tormentor.
Was it too much to ask?
… will he ever live to feel such a thing?
Can today… be the difference?
“Y/N.” Naoya whispers, softly, enough to not wake you up if you’re already asleep, but loud for you to hear if you. “Are you… awake?”
You don’t answer, yet… Naoya knows you’re awake given the way you unwittingly tense at his voice—just about the common way you’d react to him.
But even if this was proving to be the same as any other time… his heart still felt like this could change.
Or perhaps hoped it would.
“… I didn’t mean to scare you, you know?” He continues, but you still do not respond. Perhaps you were asleep after all…
Until a sniffle proves him wrong.
The sound, albeit small, was tremendous in Naoya’s mind, resonating in every crevice of his thoughts, rattling his heart and shattering whatever he had left of it, guilt settling deeper into his soul.
If he had any doubt that he had been a mad monster towards you, the same kind that his family often bred into existence—
Your tears ruled him out of any uncertainty.
To believe he embraced these ideals in the past…
But not anymore.
Because all that he cares about now is caring for you, the way he always should’ve done, and comforting you from the struggles he knows he put you through.
One step at a time.
“Can I… hold you?” he whispers, there’s still no answer from you…
But it’s maybe in the tone he asks you, or because he asked you in the first place, that you don’t do anything when his arms hovers around you, don’t put up resistance when he finally touches you, wrapping you into an embrace and pulling you towards his chest—Naoya taking in your warmth, a sentiment so… soft yet welcoming, he never thought he’d be capable of experiencing in his life.
Yet, he did, here, with you, his wife.
The only woman he has ever set his sights on for something more than just a good time, the only person he feels he could do far more than just have there, living with him, inspired him to go to the end of the world and back, just to see her smile.
Naoya always believed that something silly as this could never happen to him. Thought it stupid, delirious, an invention for people to not feel as pathetic and lonely as they really were.
But now that he’s had a taste of that emotion, or at least something he considered remotely similar… Naoya doesn’t want to let go.
Naoya wants more. Wants to know if he’s deserving of such, wondering if this could be his reality, a marriage that wasn’t built in frustration, fear, the constant disgust for the other, or convenience…
He… wishes to believe so.
All that was left then, was to know if you thought the same.
Maybe, considering you didn’t push him away…
Truth to be told, you had your own thoughts, your own doubts; naturally.
The question of whether there was any hope for you to begin with constantly lingered in your mind.
If there was even a reason for you to remain here if Naoya had been nothing but less than desirable, and that’s without even considering his family.
How little to nothing your husband had done to defend you, alongside excusing those that have wronged you, or how he intentionally keeps you isolated from the world for some unknown reason…
And now, intimidated you into thinking your life could be in danger through his own furious actions.
Any other night you would’ve rejected Naoya, just like you always did. You would’ve pushed him away, demanded to keep his hands to himself, as you did your best to survive the night.
It was obvious by this point that you didn’t sleep—no one could expect you to do so in these conditions; how you even managed to stand up in the morning without passing out due to exhaustion was a surprise, but at the same time, it’s not like you could do anything else: whether you tried to separate yourself from him, the staff and his relatives always pushed you against it.
So, it’s why you were here again at the end of the day, in his futon, listening to his surprising request…
Which you should’ve rejected, especially after the horrible way he treated you for rejecting him again.
Yet, you didn’t.
And maybe it was his tone, or maybe it was the fact that he asked you for the first time…
But not only did you not push him away, you stayed there, and allowed him to touch you.
Because at the end of the day, just as Naoya thought it impossible for him to feel something nice, something he once considered delusional, stupid, impossible…
You also wondered if this is what it felt like when having a husband that cared for you.
That held you with intentions of protecting, cherishing, and not to demean and humiliate…
To have a partner to love and be loved by.
Only for tonight, you’ll let his actions answer for you.
Tumblr media
I like to think that after this, things begin to improve between the two 🥺❤️
Anyways, thank you so much for sending in this ask! I really enjoyed diving into this particular scenario, agghhhh 😭😭😭 I cried a bit.
Take care, and hope to see you soon!!
(p.s. something like this will happen in my main fic aagagaaggagagaa spoilers)

Joey B Blurbs: Wonderful Christmastime
Tumblr media
————————————————————————-
Summary: Christmas morning with Tyson and Miles, along with some Joe teasing!
Warnings: None, fluff
Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader
Imagine universe: Into The Mystic
————————————————————————-
*December 25th, 2023 - Christmas Day!*
Was being woken up at six in the morning ideal? No.
But… when it's by your twin boy’s smiling faces you can't be mad.
Joe hopped out of bed faster than I'd ever seen and barely had both legs in his PJ pants before he ran out of the room. The twins excitedly grabbed at his hands and pulled him down the hallway.
Yes, Joe insisted on sleeping in his usual nighttime uniform, his boxers, and promised to put our matching family PJs on in the morning.
I was slower getting up, which is expected when you're pregnant.
When I did get up, though, I went straight to the closet to put a bra on. After, I brushed my hair and teeth, then went downstairs.
“There she is.” - Joe grinned
“Don’t move any presents yet, we need to take a family picture.” - you
“What.” - Joe
“Babe, don't act surprised.” - you
“I have to go put a shirt on first and fix my hair then.” - Joe
He started for the stairs in a half-jog manner, but I called for him before he got to them.
“Put your shirt on then come down here, I'll move your hair around till you like it.” - you
“Babe.” - Joe
“Joe, I'm not waiting thirty minutes. Neither are they.” - you pointed to the boys who were patiently sitting down in front of the tree
——
Joe listened, surprisingly, and came down the stairs buttoning his shirt up before walking up to me.
I got on my tiptoes to reach his head and did my best to comb his bedhead with my fingers.
“Hurry up!” - Tyson
“We don't talk to Mommy and Daddy like that, okay Ty?” - Joe
“Almost done, buddy.” - you
“Are you talking to me or him?” - Joe
“Both?” - you laughed
It only took a couple more moments for Joe’s hair to fall in the way he liked it.
“There.” - you kissed his cheek
I got my phone set up and used the camera timer on my Apple Watch to get some pics.
We had just taken a few family ones and a couple of just the twins because I was sure Joe wouldn't want to be a part of a couple picture.
“Wanna get one of me kissing your cheek, and you like holding my face?” - Joe
“What?! Are you joking… or high?” - you
“No.” - Joe laughed
“Uhm sure…” - you
Joe and I took the picture, and afterward, he said something that surprised me.
“You should make that the cover of your post later. I think it looks cute.” - Joe
“Joe what? Who are you and what have you done with my husband?” - you
“He’s still here, just wanting to show more of my affectionate side.” - Joe
I grinned and leaned in to kiss him. It only lasted a few seconds because of the interruption of my PJ pants being yanked on by the little hands below us.
——
An hour later, stockings and presents had been opened.
We had finished eating breakfast, and Joe immediately walked back into the living after grabbing a trash bag.
I sat a few feet away, watching him from the kitchen, and internally giggling as he stacked boxes and threw the old wrapping paper into the trash bag.
“You are such a dad, Joe.” - you laughed
“Well, hopefully, because I am one.” - Joe
“No, I meant you applying to most of the dad stereotypes.” - you
“Gotta do what you gotta do.” - Joe shrugged
A few moments went by as I scrolled through the comments on my Instagram post.
A few of Joe’s teammates had commented, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud at what they had said.
“Whatcha laughing at?” - Joe placed his hands on your shoulders and looked over them
“Shit! How'd you get over here so fast without making a sound?!” - you
“I’m sneaky, baby.” - Joe smirked
Playfully rolling my eyes before continuing to read the comments, Joe repeated his original question.
“Whatcha laughing at?” - Joe
“The guys’ comments on my IG post.” - you
“What’d they say??” - Joe
“They're just talking about your jammies and you kissing my cheek.” - you laughed
“Specifics, please?” - Joe
I handed my phone to him and intently watched his face to see any change in expression.
There weren't any necessarily negative comments, but the ones the boys left were kind of poking fun at Joe in a playful way.
For example;
sam_hubbard_: where‘s my pj set?
nbsmallerbear: nice jammies
lahjay10_: sheisty gettin' spicy? 💋
That's just to name a few since they were all pretty much like that.
I continued watching Joe’s face as his thumb scrolled, but nothing ever changed till he handed me my phone back.
Joe rolled his eyes with a laugh as he placed my phone back into my hand.
“Are you not annoyed?” - you
“No, why would I?” - Joe
“I don't know, I just thought you'd regret posting the pictures you were in.” - you
He reached down and ran one of his thumbs over my cheek.
“I don't regret a thing, wanna know why?” - Joe
“Why?” - you
“I knew it made you happy, and that is all I care about.” - Joe
I puckered my lips, signaling I wanted a kiss, and Joe happily obliged.
“Merry Christmas, Joey. I love you.” - you
“Merry Christmas, Mama. I love you too.” - Joe
People say that money can buy happiness, but I think that the original idea was the right idea. Because nothing that money can buy, or be wrapped and put under the tree, can be equal to the feeling of having a full heart. All because of a loving husband, and our growing family.

Authors note: Guys it's LATE. Seriously I need to go to bed.

Hope you enjoyed! 💕

Hummingbird - Part 6
Tumblr media

Word Count: ~1.5k
A/N: Reader is AFAB
A/N2: This takes place at the same time as Dream Come True Part 7
Warnings: Implied violence. Please let me know if I missed any.
Part 5 -- Part 7
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Steve is on edge. Ransom might be trapped in his own home and the only way to find out anything was to send in a civilian. True she was on their payroll, but she’s supposed to only be on the legitimate side of things. Bucky was swearing up a storm and vowing to beat every passphrase he could into Ransom’s head so that this shit would never happen again. 
Bucky gets a phone call from Mace, Curtis’s second-in-command. He immediately puts the phone on speaker, “what’ve we got Mace?”
“Note from Ransom that reads, Lloyd is back. Has solid plans to take over everything. We’re getting our intel to confirm and find out where he’s at.”
Steve’s blood runs cold. He knew he should’ve just had Lloyd killed but he was trying to not be like the other Bosses in the other Families. He won’t make that mistake again.
Bucky follows up, “what’s the word on Teach? She safe with you guys?”
“Not yet,” Mace answered. “She sent us a photo of the note from Ransom. Haven’t heard…” There's a ruckus in the background as they hear Curtis yelling. “Give me a minute,” Mace tells them. He doesn’t hang up so Steve and Bucky are privy to the argument between Curtis and Mace. Steve finds himself unable to argue with either man as they go back and forth between priorities. He’d heard rumors Curtis was going soft for Teach but this confirmed it for him. He can’t say he wouldn’t be doing the same if Hummingbird was in danger.
“Shit,” Steve cusses, earning a look from Bucky. “We gotta get a hold of Levinson. Start moving people out of here just in case a war does break out.” 
Bucky nods as Mace gets back on the line with them. “I don’t know how much of that you heard,” Mace’s voice is cold and a little shaky, “but Curtis is taking an axe with him.”
“Fuck,” Bucky whispers. 
“We’ve gotta get a plan in motion and we can’t do that without intel,” Steve says. “I need you and your team to focus on that. If you can find Teach you will tell me her location first so I can talk Everett down. In the meantime we’re getting Levinson to start getting the more at-risk people out of here.”
Bucky nods and adds, “we’re gonna up our patrols a bit and make sure no one goes out unarmed. I’m gonna call in a few friends, Nat should be done setting up McMann’s wife, Barton says he’s been feeling on edge so he’ll be happy to hear it ain’t for nothing.”
“Stay safe, Boss,” Mace says before hanging up.
Tumblr media
You’re getting your things ready for whatever it is Steve has planned. He’d called you earlier and told you that there was an emergency and he needed to bring you to his place for a while for safety. Hearing a knock at the door you check through the peephole first to confirm it’s Steve. You let him in and he immediately bearhugs you.
“You’ve got your things packed,” he asks. 
“Just finished.” He nods at your response and gestures for you to follow him. The entire quick walk to the car you can see he’s on alert. His shoulders are tense, every noise warrants a look or quick investigation. 
When you’re inside the car Steve seems a little more relaxed. You know from previous discussions the tinted windows are bulletproof and it looks like he’s got his best driver, Dayton White, behind the wheel. You get the impression the “emergency” he talked about means he’s in danger. 
“Is it safe to talk,” you ask, squeezing his hand.
“Technically,” he replies. “Better to wait until we’re inside.” 
You nod and hold his hand the entire trip. 
Tumblr media
When you reach Steve’s office he starts taking and making a storm of phone calls. The primary seems to be someone named Levinson. You trust Steve to explain things so you sit and wait patiently. 
After about an hour a grizzly bear of a man comes in, “Steve, where is she?”
“Ari,” Steve greets. “She’s right there,” and he points to you. “Hummingbird, I need you to go to a safehouse out of town with Levinson.”
“Excuse me,” you ask. “I have no idea what’s going on. Why am I not safe here with you?”
Levinson looks at Steve, eyebrows raised, “you didn’t tell her anything?”
“I’ve been kinda busy,” Steve barks. He looks at you, “we’ve got a very dangerous man looking to bring us down. He will not hesitate to take out anyone that might be remotely associated with us. Ari is our best at coordinating people to get them out of danger without drawing attention, I want you to go with him.”
“Is everyone else out,” you ask.
Steve’s brows furrow in confusion, “what do you mean?” 
“I mean are the others safe already,” you reply. “The nieces and nephews? The Family members that run the legitimate businesses? Are they safe?”
“I want you out with the first few trips,” Steve orders.
“No,” you retort. “I get that I’m important to you and that puts a target on my back, but I’m not leaving and taking up Mr. Levinson’s precious time that could otherwise be spent protecting the more vulnerable Family members!”
“You’re wasting his time now,” Steve scolds. “Just go with him and do as he says so I know you’re safe!”
“I’m not the priority for escape,” you argue. “I can stay inside this fortress. Not everyone else can. Get them out first and then I’ll go!”
Steve is cut off by his phone ringing. “It’s Jensen, I gotta answer.” He keeps glaring at you, trying to stare you down as he barks, “what?!”
“We…we got Teach’s location, Boss,” Jensen stutters. “Cairo hotel on 45th and Washington.”
Steve writes as he speaks, “Cairo hotel, 45th, Washington, got it. Now get back to work on Lloyd.” He hangs up and goes to speak to you but Ari cuts him off. 
“Cairo hotel? I know the manager there. What’s going on?”
Steve takes a breath, “we’ve got a person, a civilian, who appears to have been kidnapped by Lloyd. Tracker on her phone says she’s there.”
“Well, let me give him a call and see if he can’t get her out,” Ari takes out his phone. 
Steve sighs, “and if he gives you trouble, tell him Everett’s gone Berserker and will do anything to get her out safely.”
Ari freezes at that, “holy shit. I don’t think Pine will let him in.”
“I’ll talk him down first, get him to give up his axe,” Steve assures. Ari nods and walks away to make his phone call. Steve then turns his attention to you, “and you are leaving to get somewhere safe.”
“Again, Steve,” you insist, “I am not the priority here. Let the other family go first, I’ll stay right here where you can see me, and after they’re gone, and after that poor woman gets rescued, I’ll get out. I promise.”
Steve is already worn out from the slew of arguments he’s been having so he relents, “fine. But you do not leave my sight. You stay in this room.”
“Yes, Sir,” you smile gently.
He gives you a warning look and calls up Curtis. It takes him a few tries but Everett finally answers. You can hear him yelling over the phone. “We have her location,” Steve tells him. “I’ll give it to you if you calm the hell down.”
There’s some more angry yelling before Steve gets in another word,“because if we’re not careful a lot more people will be hurt and killed. And I know you know that. The last thing we need is Berserker. Now get yourself together, Everett. Put away the axe and I’ll tell you where you can get her. Full stealth operation.”
Steve looks at you and his eyes soften, “do you really want her to see you like this?”
It must’ve done the trick because he tells Curtis what the plan is as Ari returns with some of the finer details of his friend accepting the visit. When they’re done talking Ari leaves to get others moving out of danger and Steve drops into his office chair. 
“Sounds like he’s really in love with her,” you comment. 
Steve nods, “though from what I hear he might not realize it yet.”
“They’ll figure it out soon enough, I’m sure.” You take Steve’s hand in yours. “Sometimes it can take a while.” 
He nods again, “took me a couple years to actually ask you out.”
You look into his eyes, “and it’s taken me a few extra months to say, I love you, Steve.”
His eyes are a mixture of adoration and happiness as he kisses your hand, “I love you too, Hummingbird.”

Of doodles and hearts.
Tumblr media
Wanda Maximoff x fem!reader.
A/N: This little thing came from this prompt: “Wanda writing your name with hearts in her notebook with her own name.” I hope you enjoy and I apologize for any mistakes! :)
Word count: 1,442.
Masterlist.
Wanda had just finished her last class of the day and she was beyond elated that the weekend was upon her with how stressful the week had been with all the exams coming up.
Making her way through the halls a voice suddenly greets her when she makes it to her locker to put some of her belongings away.
"Hey Max."
Wanda hears and she turns to see her best friend Y/N Y/L/N standing beside her, a sweet smile on your face.
"Hi Y/N," Wanda greets shyly, your smile making butterflies erupt in her stomach.
"Any plans this weekend?" You ask and Wanda shakes her head softly, "so do you and Pietro maybe want to hang out? I was thinking we could get some food, watch a movie, and just chill at my place or yours," you smile with a shrug.
"Yeah, that sounds great Y/N/N. I don't know if Pietro has any plans yet, but I'm up for it regardless and we can do it at my house," Wanda beams, the prospect of spending more time with you making her happy.
"Awesome, your place it is then, I'll be there with pizza at 8, I'm excited to hang out," you grin. "Also, I wish I could stay with you longer to talk but I gotta get running, I still have a few others things to do here at school before I go, so I'll see you tomorrow, okay," you say and Wanda nods with a smile before you pull her into a hug, the girl relishing being in your arms more than she'd ever admit.
When you pull away and walk out of sight, Wanda squeals lightly hugging her notebooks to her chest in giddiness as she makes her way out of the school and to the parking lot, a smile present on her face as she walks to her car.
Once she's at her car the brunette girl throws her belongings into her backseat without a care in the world, full of excitement at the thought of spending some of her time with you tomorrow night, failing to realize that one of her notebooks did not make it into her car.
When Wanda makes it home from school the first thing she does is she gets herself a light snack then makes her way up the stairs and into her room.
Setting her belongings down onto her desk she begins pulling out the necessary materials to start her homework when she realizes something completely dreadful.
Her red notebook was missing.
Certainly to anyone else that wouldn't seem like such a big deal. She could just buy a new one, fill out all the missing information she needed with the help of her friends and move on.
Again, no big deal right?
Wrong.
No, the reason Wanda was panicking was because that notebook, that one specific red notebook happened to be the one that had your name written on it in several pages.
But that wasn't even the entire problem you see, Wanda would’ve been completely fine if only your name was on those pages but no, much to her luck that notebook also happened to hold Wanda's name in it besides yours with hearts and doodles around it.
It was safe to say she was losing her mind.
Rummaging through all her belongings Wanda is unsuccessful in finding the item so she quickly walks out of her room and to her brother's.
"Piet, have you seen my red notebook?" Wanda asks slamming her twin's door open, slightly breathless and pale.
"Jeez Wanda, can't you knock?" Pietro says, clutching a shirt to his chest as he was in the process of changing, "you're lucky I wasn't naked, you know!" The silver haired boy exclaims, "and no, I haven't," her twin sighs attempting to calm his heart rate, "Also why the hell does it look like you’ve just seen a ghost because of a notebook?"
Ignoring her brother's statement the brunette makes her way to the kitchen, the last spot she was at before going to her room, looking around her dining table, the cabinets and the countertops as if the notebook could've just gotten up and walked away.
"Where could it be?" She mutters frustrated, hand in her hair as frantic green eyes glance around the kitchen once again. "Maybe I left it in my locker," she says to herself, grabbing her car keys and making her way over to the door.
From the foyer, Wanda shouts up to her brother, "Piet, I'll be right back, I'm going to check at sch-" she begins, but as she pulls her front door open, her words die in her throat when she sees you standing there, hand in mid air ready to knock, "Y/N," she says surprised, "what are you doing here? I thought the plans we made were for tomorrow?" Wanda asks confused.
"Uh, yeah, they were- I mean, they are for tomorrow," you stutter, "it's just, I thought you might want this," Y/N says, hand slowly coming up to reveal the object Wanda has been searching for, "you must've dropped it on your way out, I found it on the ground by the parking space where you left your car."
Wanda gasps, cheeks flushing red as her eyes shut, "please Y/N, please tell me you didn't open it," the girl whispers embarrassed and at the lack of your response Wanda opens her eyes reluctantly.
"Look Max, I promise I didn't do it on purpose," you say hands up in surrender, "but when I found it it was already open face up and I- well I saw something that made me curious," you begin and Wanda winces, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her whole, "Wanda, I saw our names and doodles of what seemed to be us together, with a bunch of little hearts around them. Is there a reason for that?" You ask softly, not a trace of judgement in your eyes.
Wanda blushes even harder at the fact that you have discovered the secret little doodles she drew of you and releases a nervous breath of air, "Y/N/N, l- wow this is embarrassing," she begins, cutting herself short as she can't seem to find the words. "Okay, well here goes," Wanda says, steeling herself as she gets ready to confess her feelings, "Y/N, I like you." She begins.
"I've liked you for some time now and I know I haven't explicitly said that I'm gay or whatever. I mean, truthfully I still don't know what I am," Wanda whispers scared, "but what I do know is that I'm attracted to you," she begins again full of resolve, "I feel so comfortable around you, no one makes me laugh harder than you do and I guess falling for you was inevitable. Also, I know you're my best friend, so it's okay if you don't feel the same way, I completely understand. I just really hope this doesn't ruin things between us and if you don't want to see me anymore, I get it-" Wanda rambles breathlessly, her words cut off as you cradle her face and pull her into a searing kiss.
"Hey Max, breathe," you say softly as you pull away all too soon for Wanda's liking. "I like you too," you beam, "I just never said anything, because like you said, you never explicitly implied you were into girls," you shrug, thumbs rubbing Wanda's face softly, "but now, that it's out in the open, I so do want to continue seeing you. Because now I’m thinking, instead of going through with the movie night I had planned with both you and Pietro tomorrow, I take out you on a first date instead, what do you say?" You ask with a smile, arms going around Wanda's waist.
The girl beams with delight, nodding her head as she moves her arms around your neck, "yes Y/N/N, I'd love that."
"Okay, then its settled, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8, sound good?" You ask softly.
"Sounds perfect," Wanda whispers just as softly, pecking your lips a couple of times.
"Also Miss Maximoff, who knew you were such the artist, your work is on par with that of Picasso’s,” you grin, “the way you managed to capture my essence in those doodles, unmatched! We should have those drawings framed and put in a museum," you tease with a smirk and Wanda smacks your shoulder.
"Ass," she mutters, cheeks red and you let out a laugh before leaning down to press a kiss on her lips.

Sunny! I’d like to request #5 on the dirty texts with anyone - smutty dealers choice!
Ooooh, dealers choice?? Hmmm… I gotta go Yoongi on this one, I have not (and will never) recovered from the D Day tour. 😵‍💫
This was supposed to be a drabble but it's well over 1k so… sorry about that!! 💕
Title: Out of the Bag Now Pairing: Yoongi x Reader Genre: friends to lovers?, a bit cracky, smut, Coworkers!AU Rating: M(18+) Warnings: accidentally dirty texts, misunderstandings, mutual pining, masturbation (m), almost turns into phone sex, reader is flustered af (in the best way!), ends on a cute note, prompt is highlighted in bold
You: Okay, so we have everything ready for the presentation tomorrow?
Yoongi: Yeah, we're good to go
Yoongi: Nothing to worry about, so try to get a good night's sleep
Yoongi: I know you didn't sleep before March's shareholder meeting
Glancing at the last text message, you sigh wistfully.
For over a year now, you've been madly in love with your coworker, Min Yoongi. Ok, love might be stretching it a bit. You're wildly in lust with the man.
He's everything you've ever wanted in a partner - cool, calm, collected, clever as fuck with an acerbic wit that always makes you laugh (while praying that you'll never been on the receiving end of its sharp sting). Plus, he's absolutely gorgeous, the kind of guy that people would use an example of "have you ever seen a man so beautiful you cried?"
Or maybe that's just you.
But he is strikingly handsome, and makes your knees go weak when he favors you with one of his rare smiles. They usually come out when he's being sweet to you. Like when he's making sure you're getting enough sleep.
So yeah, you're head over heels for him. If only you had the guts to do anything about it.
You: I'll try
You: But you too! No late night movie marathons again, Yoongi
You: Boss's orders
That's just a dumb joke between the two of you. You're colleagues, on the same level, but Yoongi had insisted that you take the lead on this project, since you had more familiarity with the product than he did. Another check in the "pros" column - he's a man who supports his other colleagues and isn't afraid to take orders.
Yoongi: Yes boss
Yoongi: You can't see it but I'm saluting you right now
He sends a few emojis through and you giggle. For the last few weeks, the two of you have been texting back and forth after hours. It's mostly shop talk, but lately the conversations have dragged on and on, drifting into the late night hours. As this one has. You've already finished your nightly skincare and have moved on to your dental routine.
Yoongi: Seriously though, try not to stress about tomorrow
You: Honestly, I'm not! I'm feeling pretty confident about this
Yoongi: Good. Then you can just relax tonight
You: That's the plan
You balance your phone in one hand while using your electric toothbrush with the other. Yoongi cracks a joke, and your response is a little mangled by your sole thumb's lack of dexterity.
You: Sorry abour any typos
You: I'm like typing with one hand
Three grey dots dance across your screen for a few seconds.
Yoongi: Oh shit, you're REALLY relaxing. I didn't realize it was that type of conversation
You spit into the sink, brow furrowing as you reread his message. What does he mean by that?
Then you scroll up and nearly scream. "I'm like typing with one hand"?? Oh my god, why the fuck did you say that to him? He doesn't know that you meant you were brushing your teeth!
Frantically, you start typing out a response, erasing and starting over a few times, trying to figure out the best way to say "hey no I'm a dumbass who was just brushing my teeth and not touching myself to you" even though the fact is that you have touched yourself while thinking about him, several times actually, but that's neither here or there -
and then a new message appears.
Yoongi: Hold on, let me catch up
Excuse me??
Your phone buzzes with an incoming call and you nearly throw it into the sink in shock when you see that it's Yoongi calling. It takes a few seconds for the command to answer the call to get from your brain to your finger.
"Yoongi?"
A happy sigh greets you. "Fuck, that's better. Wanted to hear your voice."
The floor seems like the safest place to be right now, so you collapse onto it, leaning back against the cabinets under the sink.
"You did?"
"Oh yeah. You've got such a pretty voice, YN. Bet it sounds even sweeter when you're coming," Yoongi rumbles, that's the only word for it, he rumbles in that deep-ass voice of his, and you slide until you're just lying on your back, staring up at the bathroom ceiling, waiting for death to claim you, because how the fuck are you supposed to go on living after this?
"I - um - thank you?"
Yoongi laughs, but there's a slight hiccup in it, and it dawns on you what he's doing right now while he's talking to you. He's catching up. Images flood your brain - Yoongi lying on a couch, or maybe on a bed, hand tucked into his pants, fingers wrapped around a hard cock - and you choke on your own saliva.
"You ok?"
"Yeah! Yes. I'm fine, thank you."
He chuckles again, and it's physically impossible but you swear you can feel the vibrations through the phone. "You sure? You sound a little flustered."
"Oh, I'm sorry." What the fuck are you supposed to be saying to him right now? You're pretty sure it's not apologizing, but that's what you do anyway.
"Don't be. It's really cute."
Well thank fuck for that.
"Yoongi," you steady yourself with a deep breath, "what I said earlier… I didn't mean I was touching myself."
Silence. A lot of silence. It's a relief when he speaks again, but it fades quickly as you catch the disappointment in his voice.
"Oh shit, really? I - fuck." Now who's flustered? "What - what were you doing?"
"Brushing my teeth."
"Oh. Huh." He sighs, sounding deflated. "Guess I just jumped to a conclusion that I… wanted."
"Oh," you echo. "That's…" Incredible? Unbelievable? The best thing you've heard since you were born?
"Listen, YN, I'm so sorry. This whole thing was just - fuck, just really inappropriate, and if I've made you feel uncomfortable, I'm truly sor-"
Sitting up, you wave your arm to stop him. As if he can see you right now. "No, no! Yoongi. Wait. It's not like that. I wasn't doing anything right now but… but I have."
More silence. You bite your lip as you wait for him to catch up, for real this time.
"You mean…"
"I mean, I've t-touched myself while thinking about you. Before." Clearing your throat, you cover your eyes with your free hand, hiding your face from an invisible audience. Somehow, it emboldens you to keep talking. "A lot, actually."
He exhales shakily. "Really?"
"Yeah. Yeah, really." Uncovering your face, you stand, propping yourself up against the counter as you stare at yourself in the mirror. Is that really you having this discussion right now? You start to laugh.
"I don't think I'm getting the joke," Yoongi says slowly.
"Holy shit, this is just so surreal, Yoongi," you inform him. "I never in a million years thought I'd be admitting that I - Jesus, that I masturbate to thoughts of you! Not over the phone like this. Maybe after like-"
"A date?"
You huff out another laugh. "After a dozen, maybe. This is… I'm extremely out of my depth here."
"Well, if it makes you feel better, I think you're doing a great job." He's laughing now, too, and it makes you grin so wide your cheeks actually hurt. "How about this - you let me take you on a date tomorrow night, to celebrate our successful presentation, and maybe by the end of the night, we'll know where we stand on the timeline for surprising confessions?"
"Okay. Yeah. Yes." You close your mouth to prevent yourself from continuously accepting his offer.
"Great. Then… I'll see you tomorrow." His voice drops to a soft whisper. "Sweet dreams, YN."
"Good night, Yoongi."
Okay, so you may have lied to him. Because there's no way you're getting any sleep tonight.

Tumblr media
"Alright cmon nie baby" you heard you're boyfriend speak behind you.
you were blindfolded as your man walked you to an unknown location, he had you get dolled up and told you that he was gonna spend time with you especially after not being able to for weeks.
" nigga you act like i can see where im going, you the one leading me" you responded back to him aggravated at the nerve of him
how dare he damn near ignore you for weeks and then suddenly tell you to get up, final exams stressed you out more than ever but when the person who you went too for peace couldn't be there for you it crushed you're soul.
so when you found out you passed all your exams with flying colors you rushed to tell your man, you were met with a bunch of "i knew you could do it, get ready we have a day planned"
but even when you had that small conversation he somehow still managed to not text you all day except the
you ready??
come outside, im hea
text you received 30 minutes prior to this exact moment.
so yes even though you know you were in for some kind of treat you were still upset at the lack of affection your boyfriend had given to you.
"watch ya mouth, we almost there" he too was clearly fed up with the attitude present in you're voice.
you had no response
you just wanted to get this over with.
after walking down some steps you felt him bend down and grab until your ankle and fondle with your heel strap
"ony what the hell is you doing" you asked looking down despite the fact that you couldn't even see him
"relax ma, i need you to help me take you're shoes off"
even though you were confused you obliged and helped him
your suspicions grew some more when you heard the sound of heavy waters crashing together and you could see the dim lights through out the blindfold.
you're questions were answered when you stepped off the final step and you felt the soft cool sand on your feet
you were indeed at the beach,alone,and at 8 pm.
"ony.." the attitude that was present earlier now gone, you now spoke in a calmer, quieter voice.
because what the fuck did this man plan.
"dont ask any questions just keep holding me"
after a short walk you were set down, and ony set right across from you and told you to take off your blindfold.
when you did you were met with a beautiful sight.
it was a candle lit dinner, there was rose petals, drinks and your favorite meals already set up.
" oh baby... you did not have to do all of this"
you noticed the beach house in the back figuring that you would be spending the rest of the night there.
" um.. yea i did, i always gotta show out for my girl"
lmk if yall want part 2 with some smut tho 🫣🤨

YOOOOOOOOO! FIRST YOU GOTTA BE ONE IF THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST I HAVE EVER SEEN!! SECOND YOUR GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE IS GIVING ME BRAIN ROT! And it got me thinking!
This being inspired by art that I just literally saw a minute ago by alice angel12x! With their idea of ghost of Christmas present yn!
The scene
Frank could only look at the ghost with fear as he watched them grow older by the minute. The once bright and cheerful spirit that stood tall among the crowd now appeared centuries older, their wooden skin was chipping and rotting away like an ancient oak that had been left to grow on dying soil their labored breaths showed how tired they had became but their hood hid their face from the puppet leaving his blind to their appearance but he was certain that it had changed as well. His heart ached for the spirits well being, it was thanks to them that he was able to see the warmth of the town surrounding him for so many years, a warmth that soaked deep into his bones that he never wished to forget.
He knelt down by the spirits slumped formed worry and fear filling his eyes " spirit? Please say something! Is there anything I can do?" He asked, he begged, for as much as he knew the truth, he wanted to remain naive for a little longer.
" I'm afraid cough! There isn't much you can do for a spirit dear frank, my being is far beyond your control. Its my own fault really, I saw hiw happy you were seeing everyone that I had forgotten my own limits and now I fear my time has come"
You spoke as if it was the most obvious thing in the world as tears slowly stared to fill franks eyes. "N-no please please this cant be! There must be something I can do!" For the first time in years frank is willing to put someone else's well being above his, the idea made you smiled weakly underneath your hood.
"Theres a heart underneath that all that doom and gloom after all huh? Thank you dear frank but im afraid im already gone" you glance up at the swirling snow that surround the both of you. While frank paid no mind to it, you watched as the wind grew more aggressive causing the most beautiful sight before you mixing with the cruel glow of a blue haunting light.
" My darling, you're already here? Im afraid im worst for wear" you spoke to the air it seemed as you forced yourself to stand up. Frank tried to get a hold on your arm to held you steady yourself only for your arm to shattered into dying splinters that blew away with the wind.
Frank finally noticed the blue glow when it suddenly became like a large bonefire at the destruction of your arm but you could inky laugh as you walked on shaking legs, knocking your hollow knees together with each step.
"No there's no need for that! You cant blame a boy for not knowing, there is so much for him to learn and it is best that you take me place dont you?"
You spoke with confidence as you pulled down your hood causeing frank to lose his breath. Your once beautiful hair made of leaves had disappeared and wilted into brown dying vines that left you into a balding state, cracking lines spread across your face their source was from the now empty socket that once held one of your bright warmth filled eyes.
You look up at the hooded figure without any source of fear or worry in your entire body, something that frank was envy about as he felt fear shake his entire soul at the towering figure.
Your remaining arm reached up to the figures face, reaching into the inky blackness of the hood with some effort revealed the soft gaze of a yellow felt face that looked down at the spirit of christmas present with warmth and sadness within his eyes.
" what-what is this?" Frank asked in a shaking voice but you only could chuckle.
"No one can help who they love frank, be they a puppet or a spirit such as us. There will always be something that will block then from one another" it was almost like you were speaking with the wind, your voice rising and falling with each sound.
You slowly turned your body more fragile than a porcelain doll would as your body slowly splintered and cracked more but a smile filled with warmth still remained on your face, as if he wasnt the cause for your breaking state.
"My last kindness and his warning frank frankly, this could be your last Christmas."
You shattered, bits of wood and cloth blew through the raging wind turning into small sparks of light that were swallowed by the darkness of the winter night. Frank could only stare in awe at the sight of your dissapearing form unaware of the tears that slowly left the hooded figures eyes.
I GOT REALLY INTO THIS AND I DONT CARE MY BRAIN JUICE WAS FLOWING! I HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND I HOPE YOU DONT MIND THE SMALL ROMANCE I GAVE TO GHOST WALLY AND YN! THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!

people we meet on vacation - jeong yunho
Tumblr media
pairing -> jeong yunho x gender neutral!reader. (they/them used)
summary -> after bumping into what you call, the love of your life at a vaction once, you found that there was no way to find out more about him. 4 years later, when you've lost all hope, you finally find him and he's your boyfriend's bestfriend.
genre -> slice of life kinda (?), strangers to lovers.
warnings -> a bunch of curses, a tattoo, mingi is a real dick (sorry, had to be <3), it goes back and forth between the past and present a lot but its all labelled that's all though.
word count -> 4255 words.
a/n -> this fic isn't in anyway related or inspired by the book of the same name by emily henry, it's just that the title of the book went along with the fic's themes so i rolled with it :) a tiny, tiny part of it has been inspired by the first half of the bollywood movie, tamasha. and and, lastly, all the translations were taken from google translate so if you find any mistakes you know who to blame. ok bye, enjoy.
Tumblr media
PRESENT, SEOUL, 2023.
“Are you ready, babe?”
Mingi calls out from the living room, tying up the laces to his boots. You took one last glance at yourself in the mirror and then called out in agreement. 
“Let’s go,”
when you're in the car with him, you look out of the window, watching the daylight completely drown out slowly. and then you look at your boyfriend, who is focused on driving. you're both going to his friend's birthday dinner and since it’s only been about 2 months of you both dating, it is one of the first time you're meeting his friends, having heard a lot of great things about them already.
he notices you looking at him and gives you a smile before giving his full attention to the road again.
mingi isn’t a bad person, you know that. but for some reason, there has been no one who'd been able to catch your attention fully or make you stay for even a month. the 2 month mark with mingi was a huge thing for you.
But then you visibly wince when you remind yourself about the texts. 
Never could you ever imagine that your tendency to never commit to anyone would bite you back in this form. 
When you finally feel secure enough with someone, you find out that they’ve been cheating on you. 
Mingi wasn’t a bad person, you convince yourself. It was just your karma.
when you reach the parking lot of the restaurant, mingi tells you to wait, he unbuckles his seatbelt and then gets out of his seat and slams the door shut and runs to get yours.
when you give him your hand, he kisses it gently, whispering a little into your ear.
"my angel looks so pretty tonight,"
and he holds out his arm for you to clasp yours into.
"ever the gentleman," you kiss his cheek.
as you enter through the glass doors of the hotel, you spot a lot of people, a bunch of foreigners going about, someone trying to check in, and people like yourself, here just for dinner.
"excuse me, what way is the banquet?" mingi asks on the front desk.
"oh, are you mr. kim's guests?"
"yes, yes,"
"straight from here, last room on the right,"
"okay, thank you," 
"___, can you go ahead? i need to take this call, i'll be there in 5,"
"let me wait for you?"
"oh, just introduce yourself, i really gotta take this,"
you were a little irritated (understatement) but decided to go ahead anyway, what’s the worst that could happen anyway?
and as you step inside the white tiled room with a huge chandelier in the middle, and golden lit lights, you think you might be dreaming.
no, not because of the ambience. but because of the person sitting there, looking up at you, as surprised as you were.
Tumblr media
PAST, CURÇAO ISLANDS, SUMMER, 2019. 
"who? what? why?"
"well, i don't know, i didn’t he would show up here when i told him we were coming here,"
"oh god," 
to say you were exhausted would be an understatement. your friend, jae-i and her "situationship" with the university playboy, kim sungwon was famous and you hoped that you could try to get her away from him during this vacation but turns out, old habits die hard. she claims she only told him that she was going for a vacation and apparently, he was here and "begging for forgiveness," because he deeply thought about how wrong his actions were.
"you know what, do whatever you want to, because to hell with our vacation, and don't you dare come to me when he breaks your heart again,"
you slam the door and get out. you weren’t that harsh and you did feel like you went overboard but she needed it. you would come back later anyway.
The bar was a couple blocks away from the cottage that you’d rented and it was right on the beach, a bunch of wooden chairs and tables and people enjoying their exotic coloured drinks, each one of them speaking in different languages. 
Speaking of languages, you weren’t quite sure of dutch. You knew the typical “hallo (hello),” and “ik ben nieuw hier (i’m new here),” but the basics was where it ended. 
“Um, hi,” 
“waar kan ik je mee helpen (how can i help you)?”
“English?”
He made a disappointed face. “No english, de werknemer die Engels kent, heeft pauze (the employee who knows English is on break),”
With a mental facepalm, you realize you’d even left your phone and wallet back where jae-i was, and you had no intention of facing her, especially if there was a possibility that the asshole would be there, and there was no point in trying to order without money anyway. 
“Nevermind, Bedankt (thank you),” he snickers at your accent but nods anyway. 
“Oh no, no, let me get that for you,” a tall man, absolutely gorgeous, with the looks of someone who could easily pass off as a well known celebrity appears beside you. 
“What do you want?”
“Its fine, i was just leaving,”
“Relax, i’m not a creep, just trying to help, you can pay me back later,”
“Oh, well, okay,”
A few minutes later, you and the handsome stranger were both seated on the wooden stools, he was taking in the sun without a lot of struggle since he brought sunglasses, meanwhile you, well, let’s just say it was a bad day for you. 
a little away from the arrangement of chairs there was a live band, some music playing as a couple danced, and then later the others joined as the tune got more upbeat.
As you sipped on the oddly coloured drink you’d seen a lot of people drinking, he turns to you, “so what’s your story?”
“Ah, well, i came here with my friend thinking it would be a little time before she could be away from her shitty ex, but guess what? He’s here,”
“Interesting story, i mean, sucks for you, but, it’s a nice plot,”
“Is that so? What’s yours?”
“Not much of a story, my one of my friends is getting married in september and the other is going to take over as ceo of his father’s company after this summer so we all decided on this trip as something of a milestone,”
“It would get harder to meet after this so,”
“Oh got it, got it,”
"wait, we never exchanged names,"
“I’m yunho,”
“I’m ____,”
he gets up, "in my opinion, You know, what you should do? Enjoy your trip, not everybody has a chance to take a trip like this and you really can’t let your friend ruin it for you,”
You think it up. “Ofcourse,”
He asks for your hand as he puts down his own glass. 
You’re almost about to slip your hands into his but then you hesitate, “but wait, don’t you have your own group of friends to worry about?”
“I think seven adult men can enjoy life without me. Besides, it’s not everyday I bump into someone like you or presented with an opportunity like this one.” he winks. 
Far away, the sun shows signs of weakening and giving into the sea, the music that’s steadily shifting to more mellow tunes and the noise of the sea gulls. 
Yunho takes your hand and guides you to the open space, a couple of people are dancing but the attention from the crowd focuses on you both as you laugh at yunho’s actions. He attempts to spin you and the crowd cheers at that, the beats become more and more danceable. 
His hands are on your waist, and his eyes, those eyes. They stare right into yours as you dance. Even though you shrug it off with your laughs, you can feel the spark. And then he’s close, way too close to be with a stranger that you just met, and instead of facing him, you just lean your head onto his chest and close your eyes. 
“Kiss already,” someone from the band shouts. 
And then you look up at him, “what do we do?”
“Only if you want to,”
His words repeat in front of you again, “...it’s not everyday i bump into someone like you or presented an opportunity like this one,”
You close your eyes and reach up to him, it honestly catches yunho by surprise but it’s over almost as suddenly as it is initiated. A peck. But it was more romantic than any kiss he’s shared with anyone. 
Tumblr media
PRESENT, SEOUL, SUMMER, 2023.
"hey, you came with mingi right? oh my god, you’re gorgeous, how did he even score you? i'm wooyoung, by the way,"
"i'm _____," you blush, this man certainly knew how to make a fist impression.
"Where's mingi? is it his manners to leave his date alone?" 
to which you let out a chuckle, "he got a really important call, he'll be here in a bit though,"
"let me keep you company then, and fulfill mingi's duty of introducing you to the others."
a few people are gathered on the far end of the table opposite from you and a few are sitting on the table already engrossed in a conversation except one of them who looks at you, eyes fixated.
“That is our friend yunho, san and his mate, milo.”
Yunho. Him. fate. There were so many things going in your mind right now, all of the memories, him paying for your drink, spending the entire day with him, forgetting that a thing like a mobile even existed, it was so funny that you both met again. There were almost zero chances, after you came back from your trip, you searched every nook and cranny of social media from whatever information you had of him, scanned every public setting, just in hopes that somehow, just somehow you bump into him again. And unfortunately, this is how you meet. 
“Hey,” he extends his hand. Does he remember all of that? Given it was not more than even a day spent together, but it impacted you, did it impact him?
There was like an unspoken agreement to not mention that you’d met before, because you’d not seen a lot of his friends on the trip neither had they seen you nor had yunho ever seen jae-i, all because of that stupid agreement. 
You try searching for recognition in his eyes, but mingi comes before you can try communicating with him even a little. 
“Mingi! Dude, why’d you leave your date alone? Thank god i was around to help,”
Mingi looks at you, “so you’ve already met them, i see,” and takes your hand into his, and never have you ever wanted to pull your hand back from someone this badly, because you look at the subtle way yunho’s eyes flit to the clasped hands and he backs away. 
-
“Hongjoong,” 
The said person is too deep in conversation with someone yunho has never seen but has deduced that they’re most probably business partners. 
He calls out to his friend again. And hongjoong looks at him, he mutters a “please,” and then steps away.
He’s careful not to be in the earshot of the group that wooyoung, mingi, you and san have created, they’re very curious to know you, someone mingi had been talking about for months, labelling his new date as his best ever. 
“Oh, mingi’s here,” hongjoong notices as he steps to the side yunho is, “wait, yunho, i’ve seen-”
“Shhh, shut up, shut up, this is exactly why i brought you here, keep your mouth shut, mingi’s date, the one he’s been bragging about, is the person i fell in love with in the summer of 2019,” he releases his hand that he had been holding over hongjoong’s mouth. 
he touches his elbow slightly, to remind his friend.
And the older guy doesn’t say anything. 
“It’s just you who knows, so please, don’t tell anybody, and don’t let anybody know that you know them,”
“It’s just unbelievable,”
And hongjoong watches as they both look at you, he looks at the way yunho watches you. “I remember you being all miserable because you couldn’t find them,”
“Yes, it’s unbelievable but also unfortunate, i’d rather have they not met me at all than this,”
Hongjoong wishes he could have done something, but he doesn’t even know what to do. He wishes he could have taken his friend’s pain because it’s so cruel but he tries to cheer the other up instead, leads him to the dinner table and carefully diverts the conversation to anything but you and mingi. 
Tumblr media
PAST, SUMMER, 2019.
"and i'm supposed to believe that?"
"i swear, i've never done it,"
"you've never ever fallen in love?" the stranger you met at the beach is clearly in disbelief over the fact that you've never been in love. it's after dinner that you're again here at the beach, walking on the shoreline.
"i don't think it's consciously my choice, it's just something that happens, i become obsessed with a person, i think that its love but then it wears down as fast as it comes."
"uh huh, okay, so you won't fall in love with me?"
you look up at him, his face lit up by the different shades of colours, the streetlight on your left, the headlights of the cars speeding past, and the lightings that are decorated on stalls at some stalls. he looks absolutely gorgeous but more than that, there's something in his eyes, that makes you feel like you actually could. you could actually dream about a forever, and this time maybe even fulfill it. was that possible? 
but the realization that you're probably never going to meet again sets in and he looks away too, thinking the same thing maybe.
"nevermind, i'm sorry,"
"wait, yunho,"
he'a already a few steps ahead of you when you stop him, he looks back at you with a questioning look as you point to at something.
"a tattoo?"
you nod.
"you want to get a tattoo with me?"
"there should be at least a little something that i can recognise you by if we ever cross paths again,"
he looks at you in awe as you walk over there, determined to get a tattoo, with or without him. 
as he follows you, he knows something very clearly, he'll do whatever you want. even if he doesn't know you, he knows that he's had a feeling of love. not entirely falling but a fleeting kind of. He doesn’t pay much attention and without giving it much thought, follows you. 
"hey, yunho,"
he turns back, spotting hongjoong at a little distance from where he was standing, his friend walks closer to him and he has a bag full of beer bottles, clearly leaving to refill the party with their friends.
"we've been looking all over for you, buddy,"
"uh, i've.. found a friend," 
"where?" he points to the tattoo shop where you're talking to the guy, and swiping through designs.
"that's great, dude, about time you find someone,"
“Yeah, and i hope y’all don’t mind it,”
He tsks in reply, “they’re all shitfaced, they probably won’t last for more than an hour or so, and that’s when i can finally drink,” he points to the beer bottles. 
"hey," you call out from your place, and interested to know the stranger standing beside your new friend, you walk up to them.
"you're?" 
"i'm hongjoong,"
“Nice to meet you, hongjoong,” you give him a smile.
"you're getting a tattoo?" he asks.
"if yunho agrees," 
"yunho, hmmm, you should go ahead, do it," 
"oh, wait, hongjoong is a great artist, he can draw something for us," yunho suggests. 
"well, if you want me to,"
and about an hour later, there’s half a butterfly on the area above the elbow on your right arm and the same location on his left arm.
"well, that was painful," you say, gripping your covered arm.
"you think?"
"but well, now i have something to remember you by so i'm not complaining," he adds.
which makes the both of you go silent again.
you want to ask him his number, but something stops you. Looking back you’re not so sure of what held you back but you wished, wished so bad that you’d taken some number, some contact anything. Heck, even an email address would have sufficed. 
But thinking that you can probably search him up on instagram or snapchat or something, you don’t bother about it.
"let's meet here tomorrow? you're here right?" 
you ask him, curious to know if he's into hanging out for another day.
"ofcourse, i'm craving some pancakes for breakfast,"
"we got it! let's have pancakes tomorrow,"
Tumblr media
PRESENT. SEOUL. 2023
"hey, i'm hongjoong,"
"oh, hongjoong,"
the man visibly pales over your mention of his name but you can't resist it, all of it is coming back to you in such a full swing and you can't even do anything about it, you should have just stayed home.
and then the tattoo, your bare arm left it being exposed, nobody would know its meaning but it just felt like an open wound right now and you wish you had some extra sleeves so you could just cover them up.
yunho is ignoring you, and as you are, too. but it keeps on poking you with a stick, the memory of all of it, and you shake your head, it was just a day, you cannot let it have so much effect over you. and it just killed you that you couldn't just drop mingi's hand and tell him that this was the man, this was the guy you had fallen in love with, for the first time and intensely and in the period of not even a day.
throughout the dinner, his friends keep trying to make you comfortable and so does mingi but every time he talks to you and you're forced to look away from yunho, it practically rips your heart apart and then the thought of going home and then again being apart from him. it just seemed like a nightmare.
hongjoong looked awkward as he tried his best to not let anything slip out of his mouth, he looked like a bad liar. and as you sit there on the dining table you realize that the guy who was getting married after the summer was hongjoong, and it was almost his 4 year anniversary soon. and the guy who was taking over a company was the obnoxious but sweet, wooyoung.
But yunho seemed different with them. When he was with you, that day, it felt like he would just about do anything without any remorse at all. And today, the tie around his neck felt too tight. 
"excuse me, i need to go to the washroom," you needed some air.
"should i come?" mingi offers.
"i'll come too, i need to get some air, i'll help you find the way?"
the dining table doesn’t notice the way the air shifts around you both and mingi nods and carries on with his previous conversation with san but you walk up to the door with yunho walking behind you and keep walking until you've reached the far end of the corridor, where he pulls your hand to stop and then looks around and opens a door.
"that's a janitor's closet-"
"shhh," he quiets you down, there’s nobody who would hear you, but its just that he wants to look at you, quietly. think about that day again and again.
you look into his eyes again, the door has slits so the lobby lights spill into the room and parts of his are visible, including his eyes. the eyes you fell in love with, is that even possible, to fall in love with someone's eyes, or to fall in love with someone you just met for a day?
"why did you leave suddenly?"
"i-" 
he places a finger on your lips, leaning towards you in the small, dark room filled with brooms and the smell of room freshners. 
and his voice comes out as a whisper.
"i searched the entire island, all hotels, all the resorts, the airbnbs. there was not a single corner i hadn’t looked for you that day, where were you?"
"i had to leave, jae-i's family found out that she'd been with that jerk and they called us home immediately, and i tried finding you but i had to leave on the first flight that morning and i'm just so, so, so, sorry,"
he puts away his finger and sighs, "it's fine,"
"fate is such a bitch though,"
"you think?" you snicker. 
"what do we do now?" he asks. a deafening silence follows. 
"i'm going to leave,"
"again?" 
you don't pay much attention to his comment.
"i'm going to get out of mingi's life because i obviously can't live with him knowing that i'm in love with one of his friends,"
"and what about us?"
you place a hand on his chest.
"there was no us, yunho, how can you even be with me like this? all we'll end up being is each other's worst secrets, i don't think i'd want that, i don’t think you would want that either."
he nods.
"you fell in love with me?"
"yes,"
his tears glisten with the light.
"i fell in love with you too, and that morning i was going to properly introduce myself, take you out on a proper date, tell you that my drunk self was just beyond crazy for the shit he'd pulled the day before. but i guess fate had other plans,"
Tumblr media
A FEW WEEKS LATER, PRESENT, 2023.
a few weeks later, when he gets a text from mingi in the groupchat, yunho feels a stake through his heart even though it was his friend who just got dumped.
he's brushing his teeth, while he goes through the texts for the entire day. mingi writes, it's been days but i've been kinda busy so i just thought i'd let you all know.
and then a notification for a private group chat, something the others had a knack for doing when they wanted to spill some gossip on the recent event in the main group chat, this particular one was revived from last year's surprise party for mingi's birthday. so the gossip was about mingi.
it was san, "you know he deserved it, milo told me he saw him with some other girl in a hotel one day,"
Hongjoong : “really? He’s such a fool for doing that to y/n, they definitely deserve better,” 
Now, that felt like a very personal jab. 
The others express their opinion too, with wooyoung saying he kinda predicted it with the way mingi left you alone that day at hongjoong’s party and yeosang and some others concluding with “what can we do? It’s his life, hopefully, y/n is not hurt a lot,”
he facepalmed. why? why were the fates so fucked? was it possible any of his friends would have your number? would it be weird if he asked for the number of one of friends' ex lovers? god, the amount of bad luck he always seemed to have was astronomical. 
Hongjoong called him right after the texts ended. 
“You, my friend, have the worst luck in the entire world,”
“Shut up, don’t rub it in,”
he lays down on his bed, tired from the day. It was only 7 pm but he felt like it would be better if he just slept. 
“We should have lunch tomorrow, by the way, my treat,”
“We’re not having a pity party for me, joong.”
Just then the doorbell rings. “Wait, hold on, i have a visitor,”
 He puts the phone on the shoe rack and walks over to open the door. when he opens, he sees the white bag before he can figure out its you. because you've shielded your face with it.
“Oh shit, shit, shit,”
when you move it out and finally take a look at yunho's face, he takes a minute to register it's you.
and he grabs you into a hug as soon as he realizes. guess his luck isn’t that bad even.
Hongjoong, still on the call and listening over, is concerned for yunho. “Hello? Yunho? Who is that? Yunho??? Answer me? Is someone stabbing you?”
after he realizes he's almost blocking your windpipe and realizes it's rude to just cry in the looby of your apartment complex, he invites you in and properly takes a minute for his emotions to settle down.
Meanwhile, hongjoong has ended the call and resorted to calling again, so yunho can pay attention to his phone. 
“Hello?”
“Oh my god, you’re alive,”
“I’m alright.”
And you walk over, looking at the caller ID, decide to introduce yourself, “hey, hongjoong, remember me? You drew my tattoo for me?”
“Yunho, what the fuck, man?”
“Don’t blame him, he didn’t know i was coming. And i stole his address from mingi, at least he was of some use,”
“Woah,” the older man is clearly surprised but then cuts the call after telling you both to not lose this chance and that he will talk to yunho tomorrow.
“So,” yunho says, you’re both in the kitchen, your white bag placed on the counter. “What is this?”
“We never got to have those pancakes,”

Julinemo Week, Day 2: Battle
"You…"
The impromptu crowd flooding Mesagoza fell silent. Their formerly-youngest Champion, the incomparable, unrivaled prodigy, had yet to uncover her face after the blast of Tera Shards being shattered off of her strongest Pokemon and strewn across the plaza. She had been defeated. By another kid, no less. She could be defeated.
… Was she crying?
"Nemona…?"
The victor -- as well as the Director and the Top Champion in the crowd -- all started to step toward her with concern written on their faces, when…
"YOU DID IT!!! This is legit incredible! You’re the strongest out there, Juliana!" Nemona suddenly roared. The relieved audience resumed their cheers as Nemona rapidly closed the rest of the distance to Juliana, holding up her shaking, clenched fists like she was barely restraining herself from launching onto the rooftops like a rocket.
Juliana giggled with a proud, toothy smile. In another timeline, she could've easily flinched and backed away from Nemona's overwhelming energy, but not this one. "Hehehe, thank--"
"I mean, you knocked me flat, and I was… giving you absolutely EVERYTHING I had! Everything I… I… Ha haaa! Hahaha! Oh man. Pokémon battling, am I right??? It’s so much better, so much more fun than I ever even knew! Man! Hahaha! Haaah... hoo..." Nemona continued to enthuse, sounding like she was nearly hyperventilating.
"Y-yeah, that was a lotta fun! I'm glad I finally got to see what you're like without holding yourself back for my sake."
"… Heh! And I'm so super proud of you for bein' able to handle it! Now I've got a real challenge to overcome again! It's like you've… like… given me back the thing I loved most! But uh… heh, I guess that's just kinda what you do, though, isn't it?"
"Mmm, I guess so, huh?" Juliana had to agree. It was true, this was at least the third new friend whose Treasure Report she was very likely to end up in that semester, at the expense of her sleep schedule. "Well… I wouldn't be here without you, either. I might've never known I could do something like this, if you didn't... take me under your wing and believe in me."
"Aww. Well, I might've had an ulterior motive, heh heh… but that sparkle in your eyes during our first battle was your own! I can't make you love something if you didn't already! Believe me, I've tried. I mean, why else would you go all the way to the top, huh?"
"… To see you this happy?" Juliana offered.
"Heh! Good one! Put 'er there, rival!" Nemona said as she offered her hand to shake, which Juliana took and held firmly as if she was being helped to stand up. "Now I gotta think about what Pokemon to bring for round two!" the council president declared, eliciting some facepalms from Geeta and Clavell. "Decisions, decisions…"
Juliana side-eyed those two but didn't point them out to Nemona. "No, really, I mean it."
"Mean what now sorry?" Nemona blurted out quickly, snapping her attention back to the present.
"I never gave up any of the times I was tempted to on my Gym Challenge, 'cause… I wanted you to share your favorite thing in the world with me. 'Cause… I imagined how happy you'd be right now, and didn't think anything would make ME happier than seeing that."
"… Jules, I-- Don't make me cry in fronta all these people, c'mon!"
Juliana smiled sheepishly. "Sorry!"
Nemona responded with a hearty laugh and a tight hug. "Hahaha! Man… I think YOU'RE my favorite thing in the world, actually."
"Aww. Best treasures?"
"Best treasures."
More "awws" could be heard from the crowd at that, even if they couldn't hear all of what was being said... as well as the sound of an old man bawling uncontrollably.

-
You circle the hotel room at a frantic pace, a battle of reason and emotion waging war in your mind. You’ve had the past two hours to sit alone and think about everything - where you are, what you’re doing. And lord help you, what you’re about to do. Scattered thoughts slam back and forth at an impossibly fast rate, bouncing around in your head until you can’t think straight anymore.
How did I get here? Like how did I actually get here? Am I really about to try and seduce Elvis Presley? But has he already seduced me by sending me to his hotel room? What if I mess up my timeline? What if I mess up Elvis’s timeline?
What if, what if, what if.
You had a plan. A solid plan. Spend one incredible night with Elvis, a night you could look back on and re-live forever. And now that it looked like that plan was on its way to actually becoming a reality, you were freaked out. You weren’t a prude, far from it. You were a 21st century woman - empowered, enlightened and ready for almost anything. But faced with the stark truth of your present circumstance, you were failing to keep a grip on your mental and emotional state.
Adrenaline is pumping hard and fast through your veins as you convince yourself you couldn’t possibly go through with the thing you had come to do. It was too much. HE was too much. How did you ever think you were supposed to be alone in a room with him, talk to him face to face, and keep it together? Not to mention…others things? Your thoughts become more and more frantic. Your fight or flight instinct is kicking in and before you know it, flight has taken hold. You have to get out of this room, if only just to breathe a little, clear your head. Grabbing your purse you practically run to the door, throw it open and bolt out without even looking. Only to run smack into Elvis for the second time that day, colliding with him harder than the first time. He lets out a grunt at the impact and his arms instinctively wrap around your waist as he struggles to keep you both from falling.
“We’ve got to stop meeting like this, honey,” he huffs out as he finally balances you both on your feet, gripping you closely to his chest. “Leaving so soon?”
You swallow thickly and shake your head as you look up at him, absorbing him. Your senses are in overdrive being this close, all your synapses firing at once. The way he smells (spicy with a hint of smoke), the way he feels (hot - like a furnace, lean and solid), the way he looks (sleepy bedroom eyes - curious and tired, hair mussed and soft, sharp jawline as if carved by Michelangelo himself). And the intangible things - the calmness (even in your current state) that settles over you as he cradles you, his powerful magnetism unlike anything you’ve ever felt (it rattles your brain a little) and the need that radiates off him. Not sexual, just…needy.
You start to shake a little, knees feeling weak. If he didn’t have such a firm hold on you you're sure you might slide right down to the floor. His body pressed so tightly against yours has you flushing with heat, your heart rate increasing every second you’re trapped in his embrace. You want him to let you go. You want to stay in his arms forever. You can feel every inch of him, hard and soft at the same time in a delicious dichotomy. His blue eyes are playful as he waits while you drink your fill of him.
“You gotta name, or shall I just keep callin’ ya honey?” His smile is cheeky and irresistible, those cheekbones deepening to impossible sharpness, a dimple peeking through in his left cheek. His arms are still gripping you like a vise and you can barely breathe being this close to him.
“Y/N,” you say, but it comes out as more of a whisper than you intend. “Y/N,” you say louder, voice more steady this time. “And you’re Elvis Presley.”
His laugh is deep and rich with a hint of gravel, it vibrates in your chest, shooting through your body like lightening, down to your toes and back up again, settling somewhere near your core.
“Yes I am, darlin’, for better or worse.” He finally unwraps his arms from around you and lets you go. The sudden feeling of loss is so powerful, all you want is to be back in those arms again. He steps into the hotel room and you follow like a lost puppy, all thoughts of leaving vanish into thin air. “I know you, don’t I? We’ve met before.” It’s not a question.
“No…never,” you shake your head. “Believe me, I’d remember meeting you.” You can’t help the wolfish smile that transforms your face, your cheeks tinting pink, the dirty thoughts in your head surely readable on your face.
He laughs again, eyes sparkling and amused. He hums in thought a minute, eyes narrowed and concentrating on your face, biting his pouty bottom lip. He shakes his head, black hair flopping slightly over his forehead.
“I know you. I’m certain of it. I never forget a face. Y/N…Y/N. I just can’t….I can’t remember from where,” he insists. “It’ll come to me later, when I’m not so tired. Been a helluva day. Been a helluva couple weeks, actually.” You don’t argue the point, it’s not important. He stifles a yawn as he moves to the couch, grabbing an acoustic guitar on the way, and plopping down unceremoniously. He rests the guitar on his knees and leans his head back on the couch, his tan neck exposed and inviting - you feel your stomach flip flop at the thought of your mouth on his skin there, sucking and biting, and a shiver runs through you. His eyes flutter closed for a moment, long lashes dusting his cheeks, before popping open when he realizes you haven’t followed him to the couch.
“Well sit down, darlin’. Don’t hover over me like a bird that can’t settle.” He’s teasing you, the irritation he projects only put on. He watches as you sit down on the opposite end of the couch, desperate to be near him again but wanting to keep a clear head as much as possible. Satisfied to finally have you fixed on the couch with him, even if it’s not as close as he’d like, he starts strumming on his guitar, playing a pretty little tune you’ve never heard before.
A thrill runs through you and a thought pops into your head. You want him to sing to you. And only to you. You’d hoped the opportunity might arise but you hadn’t planned on it. But here it was, presenting itself to you. You wonder if it’s too much to ask of him, this man who sings for a living, who gives his heart and soul to the audience he loves so much. Who has been running ragged with rehearsals and filming. But this is your chance, you may never get another one. You scoot a little closer to him and one side of his mouth curves into a smile without looking up at you as he finishes the song he’s playing.
“Elvis,” you say, a little hesitantly. He looks at you expectantly, his beautiful face a combination of soft little boy and strong masculine features. “Would you…will you…?” You stop, embarrassed. You’re not sure why this is such a hard thing to ask. It feels too intimate, too personal. His eyes are curious now, fixed on you, and you see heat behind them. It’s hard to breath, knowing that he’s thinking at least some of the same things you are.
“Go on,” he murmurs, biting his bottom lip. "Whatcha wanna ask me, Y/N?"
You cut your eyes down, unable to meet his as you mumble out quickly, "Will you sing for me?" You hold your breath as you wait for his answer. You're not expecting him to laugh. But he does and it fills you up again, because it's genuine and sweet. You look at him and see that he’s surprised and pleased that you asked, boyish grin on his face, like he just wants to make you happy.
"You want me to sing to you? Honey, that’s not what I thought you was gonna say. Most women...they...well… they want me to...,” he trails off.
You blush deeply, unable to to keep your thoughts from running rampant. He notices and a slight flush creeps up around his neck, his only tell. You take a deep breath to steady yourself and he starts to strum his guitar again.
“Any special requests?”
You’ve thought about this a lot. Too much in fact. You settled on the perfect song long ago. It was always going to be Can’t Help Falling In Love. The first Elvis song you ever loved. The song you’ve always wanted at your wedding. The song that IS Elvis to you. When you tell him, he rolls his eyes playfully but you can tell he approves of your choice, and he starts to play the chords, fingers moving deftly across the strings. And the earth stops spinning and you stop breathing when he sings the first words and tears prick at the corners of your eyes. You can’t help it. It’s the most surreal moment of your life…for an instant you can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality or a mix of both. You start breathing again at some point as the tears fall down your cheeks but you don’t care because this is it. This is something you’ll carry with you forever. And this moment is just for you. Only for you.
You try and wipe your tears away discreetly but he chooses that moment to look at you, as the song ends, and you can tell it does something to him, the fact that you’re so moved by him, by this experience. There’s something different about you that Elvis can’t quite put his finger on. You’re bold and confident yet shy and unsure - all at the same time. You carry yourself differently and speak differently and look different from other women. You’re unlike any other woman he’s ever known, and he barely knows you. Part of him sent you to this hotel room because he wanted to be with you tonight but part of him wanted to figure out just why you were so intriguing, such a study in contradiction. And now here you were, sweetly requesting he sing you a song. Most women were only interested in sex, practically throwing themselves on him the moment they were alone with him, asking him to take their virginity, among other things. The fact that you didn’t puts him off balance and makes him want to tread carefully, treat you tenderly. Plus, he’s certain he knows you from somewhere and he’s not sure why you’re denying it but he aims to find out.
You take this opportunity to inch closer to him on the couch. He opens his arm for you to snuggle into as he sets his guitar down. You hesitate just a moment, suddenly shy. Trembling, you scoot close as he envelopes you into his side and pulls you in. You’re practically on his lap as you settle against his warm chest, his heartbeat thumping softly in your ear.
He tucks you in tighter and rests his chin against the top of your head. It’s so cozy in his arms, with his chest rising and falling steadily, your breath and his combining into the same rhythm. Your eyes are heavy, you’re so tired from the events of the day and you know you should be making the most of this time with Elvis but you just can’t seem to keep your eyes open. You blink heavily again and sigh, trying to stay awake. You feel Elvis yawn against your head and you bring a hand up to his chest, running your fingers through the soft hair there before grabbing a handful of his shirt, holding onto him as if he’s a life raft on an open sea. It’s here, snuggled up with Elvis Presley, that you fall into the best sleep of your life.
You open your eyes into darkness. You’re freezing cold and you struggle to breathe as you sit up. Your head is as light as a feather again and your heart is pounding, tears springing to your eyes. Oh no, oh no, no no no no no, you think. Not yet, I didn’t get enough time. You don’t realize that you’re speaking out loud as you begin to cry, softly at first and then harder, your heart squeezing with pain.
“Honey?” Someone says in the darkness. “What’s wrong?” Elvis. At the sound of his voice you begin to cry in earnest, relieved you hadn’t lost him, that you still had more time. A soft light flickers on somewhere in the room.
“Hey, hey, hey, little one, don’t cry, don’t cry.” Elvis moves across the bed and pulls you into his lap, wrapping his arms around you and rocking you back and forth. He strokes your hair as you cry into him, clinging to him. He makes gentle shushing noises and rubs your back and kisses you tenderly on the forehead, but he lets you cry it out. Slowly your tears subside and you take a shuddering breath. Once again, Elvis has comforted you as you fell apart. What must he think of you?
“You wanna tell me what’s got you all worked up, little one?” He speaks into your hair as he holds you to him. You’re still coming down from being so upset, taking in unsteady breaths. A hand squeezes your shoulder, encouraging you, letting you know it’s ok, whatever you have to say.
“I thought…I thought I was alone. That you’d gone and…I was scared,” you finish lamely, trying to get away with a half-truth.
“Mmm,” he murmurs, not convinced but not wanting to push you further. His fingers gently grip your chin and tilt your face up towards his.
You can see the glint of his azure eyes, the outline of his features, the white of his teeth and he smiles as he leans his forehead into yours.
“Ain’t gonna leave you, baby. Not tonight. So you don’t need to worry bout that, ya hear?”
You nod your head, and suddenly your heart rate increases as you realize his mouth is inches from yours. You’re breathing in his warm breath and before you know it, you’re closing the distance between you, finding his mouth, your hand moving to tangle in the hair at the nape of his neck. He’s stunned for a fraction of a second before his lips move against yours to return the kiss, urgent and impatient. His delicate tongue slips into your mouth and traces your lips teasingly. His thumb is pulling at the corner of your mouth and you can’t resist breaking the kiss and taking it between your teeth, running your tongue over it and sucking so hard he hisses. You’re still sitting on his lap and you feel him harden beneath your hip. You kiss him again as his hands find the zipper on the back of your dress and he slowly unzips it, fingers caressing the bare skin that’s exposed, inch by inch. You shiver and feel your nipples stiffen into hard buds, already aroused and needing more. You shift up onto your knees and turn to straddle him, as he lifts your dress up and over your head and tosses it aside. Your nimble fingers move to unbutton his shirt, already halfway undone because he’s Elvis and that just how he wears it, damn him. Your hands slip over his shoulders, smooth and warm beneath your touch, and push his shirt off.
You lean into him and lay your head on his shoulder, your breasts crushed against his bare chest as he wraps his arms around you and holds you there. His fingers are gliding across the skin of your back, tracing shapes and making you shake, as his lips ghost the skin of your neck. Your fingers reach into his hair and gently massage his head, scratching and tugging. His head falls back, heavy in your hands, mouth parted and breaths shallow and every now and again you feel his stomach muscles flex and contract. You tilt your head and lick a stripe along his jawline, tasting his salty skin and repeat it on the other side, his long sideburns tickling your nose. You press wet kisses down his neck and lightly suck and bite at his skin, drawing a strangled moan from him. Elvis’s hands grip your back more tightly and you relish the feeling of his fingers digging into your skin.
His long, delicate fingers find the hard pebbles of your nipples and he twists and tugs and pinches, making you gasp sharply. Then he’s leaning you back slightly and dipping his head to take your nipple into his warm, wet mouth, teasing it with his tongue before sucking it between his teeth and teasing it some more, wrenching desperate moans from your mouth. He pays the same attention to your other breast and it has you almost coming apart from the pleasure of it. You grind down on him, needing some friction to ease the ache between your legs. He lets your nipple go with a pop and slides his hands into your panties, over your ass, as you fall back onto the bed and help him slide them off. You lay there for a moment, just looking at him, your feet planted on his shoulders as he runs his hands up and down your smooth legs. His tan skin is flushed the prettiest pink, black hair messy and falling over his forehead, a look of pure sin on his gorgeous face. It feels like your insides are crashing together, like you can’t get a proper breath, like you’ll die if you don’t fuck him right now. You sit up quickly, suddenly unable to wait any longer, and fumble with the clasp on his pants. He swipes your hand away as he easily undoes it and shoves them down over his hips and off completely.
You straddle him again and grab his cock, pumping it a few times before lining it up with your slick opening, guiding it to the right angle and spreading your lips gently to ease his entrance. He’s panting slightly from the effort of control as he kisses you again deeply, waiting just a moment before he slowly pushes you down onto him, inch by inch. You gasp into his mouth as he fills you, stretches you. You cling to his shoulders, your fingernails digging in and leaving half-moon crescents on his skin. He’s still kissing you to distract you from the pleasure and pain, the stinging that has your tight hole clenched snugly around his considerable size. His tongue finds yours and he sucks on your bottom lip. Just when you think you can’t take any more, he thrusts his hips up as he forces you the rest of the way down onto him, fully impaled. You stop breathing altogether, squeezing your eyes shut, arching your head back, your mouth falling open into a silent cry that never leaves your lips. Elvis’s forehead drops to your shoulder and you vaguely register him clenching and unclenching his jaw. You’ve never felt this full before, never been spread this wide, never felt like you were going to come apart at the seams if he moves just an inch.
“Open you eyes, baby,” you hear him rasp out. You inhale a shallow breath but your eyes remain, literally, screwed shut.
“Come on, look at me,” he coaxes, running a thumb across your eyelid, resting it on your cheek. “I want to see how your eyes look when I’m all the way inside you.”
Your eyes flutter open as you struggle to focus and meet his gaze, his pupils blown wide and his blue eyes now a shade darker. He searches your glassy eyes and finds them much the same, blown out with a hint of wildness. Slowly you adjust around him and start to move up and down, hips undulating, his own thrusting up to meet yours. He grips handfuls of flesh at your hips, so hard you’re sure they’ll leave a mark, and you secretly hope so. You want to be marked by him, claimed in some way, even if only for a brief moment. Sweat is beading in the hollow of his neck and you run your fingers across his chest, through his chest hair, down his shoulders, touching and exploring and kissing. He takes one of your nipples in his mouth again and your hands find his hair as you hold him to your breast as he teases and sucks. Little whimpers leave your throat as the fire grows in your core, bringing you ever closer to the edge. The drag of his velvety hardness inside you is more than you can take and suddenly you’re clenching tightly around him, coming so hard you’re seeing not only stars but a whole galaxy. He groans at the feeling and lets out an “Oh goddamn, honey,” and through your haze you watch as he comes undone, biting into your shoulder as his cock twitches inside you and fills you with his hot seed. You see the vein along the left side of his neck popping out, the one you’ve always noticed appears sometimes when he sings or gets angry. It thrills you to see it in the flesh, knowing you had something to do with it. You place a tender kiss there as the sight of it has you clamping down around him again, milking him through his high.
Elvis falls back against the headboard of the bed and takes you with him, arms wrapping around your back and waist, his cock still buried deep inside you. You nuzzle into his neck, both of you breathing hard, and slightly trembling. You feel him start to giggle but you’re too spent to look at him to figure out why.
“What’s funny?” You whisper as you feel the laughter rumble in his chest, deeper and deeper.
“I was just thinkin’ bout how you nearly ran out on me earlier and I’m awfully glad you didn’t,” he says, “else I wouldn’t have just had one of the best lays of my life.”
You blush and for once are thankful he can’t see you. You don’t know how that could possibly be true but decide to take the compliment and return one his way.
“I’ll do you one better, baby. You are the best lay of my life, Elvis Presley, and god help me if I’m not ruined for other men now,” you say, and mean it. You’ll need all the help you can get if you plan to have a normal life now. Fuck.

I know you've been hurt in this walk of life. (let me find my shoes, I will walk with you.) - A Larissa Weems x Reader hurt/comfort fic.
A/N: purely self indulgent. as previously mentioned on the last episode of dragon ball z, my partner of two years broke up with me. On top of that, I've been relapsing because I'm oh so smart, but enough of the sob story, Have this fic I coughed up during my Depressive episode
This isn't proofread because, well, my proofreader dumped me 😭
TW: Self-depricating thoughts, Self-harm, implied child abuse, just the sads all around
.
.
.
Your life was shit. Pure unadulterated shit. It feels like from the moment you were born the universe was out to get you, like every circumstance was a "fuck you" to the face. Nothing ever went right for you. For starters, your parents were the absolute worse. They were constantly breathing down your neck about your grades and about how you present yourself in public, gotta protect their image they would say. From a young age you had to act older than you ever should have had to. Then in highschool everything just came crashing down on you, fear of the future, dread from the past... you finding out you were an outcast was just the cherry on top; it was one thing for you to be your family burden, but now you're also a blood sucking monster! Just your luck.
Life was a sea you were drowning in constantly, you felt as if there wasn't a day where water wasn't in your lungs and your mind wasn't constantly belittling you. It was tiring, exhausting, whatever else is synonymous. You just want it to stop. You wanted to feel something other than your emptiness, your constant dread of a lack of purpose.
Maybe that's when it started.
The first time was an accident. You were working on a school project and was cutting up some cardboard for a model, unfortunately you're a clutz and you accidentally dropped your cutter. You winced and grabbed your wrist which was now bleeding. Oddly enough though... you didn't really mind. You'd blamed the vampirism then but.. then you found that the cuts on your wrist went from accidental to on purpose.It was a dumb idea now that you think about it, you realise that now, maybe not then. You wanted to feel something, anything. The stinging sensation of the blade piercing your flesh was intoxicating, it hurt, but it hurt so comfortably. You found solace in it, no matter how morally grey it seemed.
But now, several years later, standing in front of your bathroom sink and staring down at the very same flesh you've abused all theseyears you can't help but loathe the scars you made. It's entirely your fault, you think, but that doesn't make you hate it any less. You stare and stare, each scar a reminder of how miserable you were, how pathetic you were.
It was a reminder of what life was like before her.
Larissa was a breath of fresh air in your miserable life. If you walked around with a rain cloud above your head she was the one holding and offering you an umbrella. She made your life a little bit more tolerable simply by being in it. Ever since meeting Larissa, you've noticed you've made some good changes to yourself. One of them being that you were almost half a year clean from cutting yourself!
..Almost.
Your hands grip the edge of the sink tightly, fighting back tears as you stare at two fresh scars you made the night before. That familiar feeling of dread filled you again, blinding yourself from seeing reason. Relapse is normal, Larissa once said, but you refused to tell her, you didn't want to disappoint her.
Then again, nobodys more disappointed in you than you are.
You're so lost in your self-loathing that you fail to hear the front door to your apartment open, Larissa had a spare key, you felt it was only right for her to have one by your 7th monthasarry. She calls out for you from the living room, but you're too busy hating the person in the mirror to realise that.It's only too late when you realise. The door to the bathroom clicked open, your angel's voice filled with such worry over your silence. You're like a puppy around Larissa, the moment she's back in your vicinity you're like a dog missing it's owner and suddenly you're all over her. Not tonight, though. Tonight you were quiet. Tonight you were staring at yourself and your scars, hating yourself like you always do.
It's only then you look up to stare at her, she's quick to be by your side her hands rough, a testament to her hardwork, yet so soft and gentle when handling you. She grabs onto your wrist and notices the fresh scar from the night before, her beautiful oceanic eyes painted with deep worry.
She takes you to your bedroom and sits you down. She's talking, but it all feels like it's underwater to you, you felt like the world and everything around you wasn't real at the moment, with nothing but the ringing in your ears distracting you. You try to make out what she's saying but ultimately give up. She's cleaning your wound, you notice, she's taken a first aid kit and she's making sure your cut is properly disinfected. Her touch is so soft and caring, it almost makes you tear up and cry. You stare at her, her eyes fixated on her task. You take a moment to admire her, her beautiful blonde hair, the way her brows furrow and her nose scrunches when she's focused.. for a moment, you're lifted from the tide and you can see clearly; you see her. Your Larissa, Your love.
When you realise those blue eyes are staring back at you, that's when you notice you seem to have regained your grasp on reality, she's looking at you with such warmth yet such worry, you feel bad for burdening her, but you've never been a burden, not to her, no. She adores you. She wishes you could see that.
"Are you okay?" Her words finally register, you blink at her, unsure what to say. Are you okay? You don't know yourself, honestly. She can see the conflict going on in your mind and hums, as if understanding something, her hand hovers over your cheek, a silent question in her eyes. You press your cheek into her palm and nuzzle into it, your eyes closing at the warmth and familiarity of her touch. Her eyes soften at that, her thumb caressing your cheek.
"Do you want to talk about it?" You shake your head, finding yourself unable to speak. She nods in understanding and the two of you stay there for a while, a comfortable silence falling between the two of you.
Eventually, She moved you further onto the bed. Her heels were discarded somewhere across the room, her coat hanging against the headboard, you stare up at her as she situates you so that your head lay on your chest, the steady rise and fall of chest calming your nerves and anxiety that you didn't even realise was there.
Silence falls between you two again, but you don't mind at all. Her hand mindlessly draws shapes on your back with her fingers. You bury yourself in her embrace, her touch alone lifting away all your worries... well.. almost all of them. You felt the need to open up to her but you hesitate, that same old voice in the back of your head telling you not to bother her with your pathetic whines. But as you look up at her and you find her staring back at you with nothing but love and warmth.. you can't help but let the dam loose.
You lay there and open up about everything, how tired you've felt recently, how disgusting you feel especially when it comes to your scars. You want to cry, but you can't, so you just kept it all in until you couldn't anymore. As you rant, She listens to you intently, her eyes filled with nothing but understanding and care. When you end your small tangent, she brings your wrist up to her face and presses a kiss to it.
"Thank you for telling me," She whispers softly, her lips pressing against the skin of your wrist, you shiver at the contact, confused as to what she's doing. She continues to kiss your wrist.. no, your scars, you notice, and you watch in silence, your eyes curious yet filled with warmth.
She takes her time with each one, each kiss soft and meaningful. You could feel the pure love radiating off of her, it was overwhelming. It nearly made you cry, but what really did it were her next words."I know I can't do much to help you see yourself the way I see you." She mutters against your skin, her eyes reading into yours.
"But not once have I ever found you pathetic or disgusting, nor have I ever thought you were a burden." She pulls away from your wrist and caresses your cheek once again, her gaze filled with sincerity. You listen to her, clinging onto each word, the familiar feeling of warmth from her comfort already lifting the weigh on your shoulders.
"And most of all," She grabs your wrist with her free hand, her fingers gliding across the skin. "These scars... while the way they got there is.. unconventional. They're a testament to how resilient you are, how resilient you have been."
"I will never view them as disgusting, because despite everything, they still make up the person that you are, and I love you all the same. And I'll continue to do so, For as long as you'll have me."
..
Tears sting your eyes, but not in a bad way, never in a bad way with Larissa. Your heart was swelling with such gratitude and love for the woman before you. You can't help but stammer like an idiot, your tears spilling down your cheek. It was an embarrassing sight, you're sure of it, but not to her, she wipes away every tear wordlessly, no judgement or mockery in her eyes. Just pure unfiltered love, love you never recieved growing up, love you needed all this time, love you deserved, love she offered.
As you fall asleep that night with her arms wrapped around you and the steady beating of her heart lulling you to sleep, you come to the conclusion that living isn't so bad, as long as you had your Larissa.

Honestly that c!Dream & c!Foolish (& c!Sam) convo is one of the best things I've ever seen. A gift from the heavens. It makes me very happy to see it being talked about and I would love if you talked about it more 😁 (feed me.)
OHHHH where to start....
I gotta rewatch that stream sometime and just break everything down line by line but for now something that always sticks out to me is how cdream talks about cfoolish and the power he supposedly holds. Long post ahead
Dream says that he wasn't sure Foolish or the vacation home was real, that the premise of "incredibly powerful person with incredible wealth living peacefully in an incredible land" is inherently unbelievable. He thought Foolish, and his home, was a myth. Which, I think Dream says for two reasons, the primary one being to provoke Foolish. Needle him into potentially giving too much away. He also does this when he calls Foolish "quackity's bitch" before ultimately changing tactics. The second one being, Dream genuinely can't believe something like that exists. Probably more in a "something sinister is hiding beneath it all" way. Foolish and everything he represents is too good to be true.
Foolish is also completely able to hold his own verbally against Dream. This isn't Dream completely powerless in the prison or Dream naive to how people manipulate conversations, this is Dream at his peak when it comes to controlling an interaction. The whole set-up is at Dream's behest. He chose to go there to talk to Foolish. He picked the location, the time, and the other party. Foolish should be playing defense, and for the most part he is. He's just reacting to Dream's confrontation.
Keep in mind that this conversation is also just a power play against cSam. Calling them friends, ordering him around, practically daring Sam to even try to treat Dream how he did as the Warden. It's all very intentional. A lot of this is to show Sam that Dream is free, and he can go anywhere he wants, even to Sam's peaceful friend who hasn't hurt anyone. And he can tell Sam's friend exactly what Sam did, and there's nothing Sam can do to stop it. The single most lasting part of this conversation is the damage it does to Sam and Foolish's relationship. They are never the same after this. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain this is their last canon interaction, at the very least it's one of their last.
(quick sidebar; foolish is the one Sam went to to vent about the prison, to talk about how hard it is!! foolish went from "you're a good man" to "everyone is a scumbag" I AM GNAWING AT THE WALLLS OHHH MY GOD)
But, even though Foolish is playing defense here, he instantly plays at Dreams speed. He's very quick to levee what dream's done against him while at the same time doing what almost no one has done: listen. Foolish is receptive to what Dream is saying, and isn't shutting him down on principle. I think this is something only Foolish could have done; something I've said before and will say a million times is Foolish has this incredible capacity for forgiveness and kindness in a way that no one else on the server has. He's incredibly lenient and incredibly docile. He never hits first, and never without provocation. Foolish also has no history with Dream, unlike Sapnap or Tommy or Bad or anyone else Dream could have come in contact with. He's also stronger and more present than any of the other newcomers. Keep in mind Foolish joined, and then literally the next day Dream was in jail. He just missed him.
All this to say that conversation is basically this perfect storm, both giving and conceding more than they'd like and both taking what they really want. Foolish: a potential way to avoid death, Dream: a potential safeguard against quackity. The whole thing is like a game of chess, so strategic. If giving more time, I really think there lore could have gone some awesome places. Again, dream and foolish both fear the finality of death and both had ways to circumvent it. Foolish would have gone a long with the Plan I just know it.... Alas 😔

Sins & Amends Chapter 45
Tumblr media
(Not Adi considering the Reader is non descriptive but this baby is cute af)
Billy Russo x Female Reader (60 part story)
This follows pre- the punisher into the storyline of daredevil, punisher season 1 and beyond
This is NOT Canon Billy. This is decent human being Billy left with bad options over worse decisions
This was also posted to A03 under: WaywardGaPeach. That account and this one is the only place you'll see me post this. If you see it on any other platform/account know it's not me.
Chapter Summary: As Adi's first birthday draws near a new deal is presented from Homeland but no one will sign off on it unless you do
Every day that passed with Adi brought what family you still had closer. Once your maternity leave was over the days that you and Karen both had to work Sarah was more than glad to babysit.
When Frank had time off him and Karen would practically beg you to let her stay over with them. Curtis was always on hand when you needed someone too considering he lived closer to your place than anyone else and even Matt and Foggy would stop by more often.
Whenever she would look up at you with those dark brown eyes of Billy's that you had fell in love with so long before you knew she was twisting you around her little finger even more. She was the best thing that had ever happened to you no matter how she'd come about.
You still got together with Frank, Karen, Curtis, Foggy and Matt but it was now once a week. Sometimes Candance or Marci would come but one thing remained the same, every aunt and uncle would fight for the chance to hold little miss Adi while all of you caught up from the week. 
Frank would relent most times considering him, Karen and Curtis saw her the most but sometimes if he'd had a rough day or things were just bugging him he'd keep her tucked tight against him and only give her up when you had to feed her or change her although sometimes he'd grab a bottle or clean diaper before you had a chance.
To you it seemed as if Frank was combining the love he'd once felt for her father into the love he had for her. 
As for Karen she was the best aunt you could ever imagine for Adi. She'd had your back throughout the pregnancy and would still do anything for you or Adi. She'd crossed the line somewhere along the way from best friend to more of a sister. It felt almost like it had with you and Maria. You more than understood what had originally drawn Frank to her back when he was still neck deep in being the Punisher. She was amazing.
Tumblr media
You still missed Billy every day. Every day you saw Adi growing and knew it was something so precious and so important and that he was missing out on so much. He had barred you from visiting him or calling and a child wasn't something you told someone about in a letter so you'd sworn everyone who still had contact with him to secrecy about her. You just didn't see a point in adding that pain onto him. It was just better he never know.
Tumblr media
Adi was almost six months old when Curtis stopped by one evening after his weekly visit to see Billy. You hadn't been expecting him so when he knocked on the door you answered with her half asleep on your hip. "Look baby it's uncle Curt!" You handed her to him with a smile "Perfect timing. I need to fix a bottle so I can put her down"
She nuzzled into his chest sleepily as he asked her about her day like he was talking to an adult and expecting a response.  
You glanced over your shoulder at the two of them walking around the living room while you made her bottle in the kitchen and smiled "Not that I'm complaining Curt because you know you're always welcome but to what do I owe this visit?" You asked walking back into the living room to hand Adi's bottle to him.
He settled into the recliner Foggy had bought you when you were pregnant and offered the bottle to her then glanced up at you "I need to talk to you and Frank said he needed your answer before he agreed to anything" "Ok gotta point out that doesn't sound good" you half joked watching Adi's head dip twice before the bottle fell down beside Curtis. 
He nodded at her "Get her settled and I'll start coffee" you stood to pick her up off him but not before saying "Coffee and needing to talk..are we having a meeting Curt?" He shrugged "in a way yeah I guess so" you scooped Adi up onto your shoulder and tilted your head back at the kitchen "Well you know how I take my coffee. I'll be back as soon as she's down good"
------------------
After you got her settled in her crib and grabbed the baby monitor you walked back into the kitchen where Curtis was carrying two cups of coffee to the table. He sat yours down in front of a chair then sat across from you. 
"Well you said we needed to talk but um what about?" You asked taking a tentative sip of the coffee while he made himself busy adding sugar and creamer to his own cup. "Well you know Frank's went with me a couple times to see Billy now"
You did in fact know that. It had almost bothered you that it seemed you were the only one Billy didn't want to see. It had been a little over eighteen months since he turned himself into Mahoney. "Are you coming to tell me they tried to kill each other on one of the visits because I'm really not sure what to say to that considering Matt and Foggy are both of their lawyers" 
Curtis cracked a smile at that and shook his head "No actually what I came to talk to you about is that apparently our little team is proving handy to Homeland. Me, Frank and David are working well with Madani, Stein and their team so she offered the prospect of another deal possibly being put on the table but I um well honestly I drew the short straw because everyone is in agreement we want to make sure you're ok with it"
"Another deal? What, do they need a medic? I'm happy where I am" you couldn't help letting a joke slide to cover up the knot that had formed in the pit of your stomach the moment you put together the pieces he'd laid out.
"They want to offer Billy a deal. He gets time served when it hits the two year mark then he comes to work for Homeland. He'll be under certain requirements for the first year same as Frank was along with being under the care of a psychiatrist which Kenzie has already been approached about but after that he'll be free and clear and officially an agent"
You sat your cup down hard to keep from dropping it and glanced down the hall towards Adi's room. "So what the SAC of Homeland wants my permission to offer a deal? Seems like everyone has already been told about this but me. Hell I'm just his baby mama. He hasn't spoken a word to me or tried to write me besides that one letter since he went in. Why should I have any say so?" You realized you were going on the defense hard but hell you had the right to be. So much had happened since Billy went to prison. 
Curtis looked down at his cup then glanced up "The doctors are confident in his recovery. Y/N he's healed up a lot. He remembers a lot more. Stuff he's glad he remembers and stuff he wishes he could forget again. He remembers making the deal with Rawlins for Frank to be in the cross hairs instead of you. He remembers the smuggling, Anvil. Every person he cared about that he hurt he remembers most of it. There's still some blanks spots but they're willing to sign off on the condition he keeps with his treatment plan"
"Once again Curtis what the hell does that have to do with me?" You asked hearing the edge to your voice when you spoke. He shrugged and that smile he wore in meetings slipped into place "Y/N he loves you. He's always loved you. I think, no I know he'll want to see you. If that's too much it's ok I'll handle it but know not a visit has went by that he hasn't asked about you. We've all avoided that certain subject but if he gets out he's going to want to at least talk to you and there's no way to hide a child when you'll be face to face. Frank won't sign off unless you're ok on it. Neither will I or Stein and Dinah has already said if you're not ok with it she'll squash the deal as if it never happened" 
You took a deep breath and stood up abruptly. Yesterday if someone had asked you'd resigned yourself to the fact that Adi would probably never meet Billy. You had pictures of him throughout the apartment. She carried his last name and if you were being honest you wanted nothing more than for her to have some sort of relationship with him. Him being in prison for the two year mark was still eight months away. Could you prepare yourself in that amount of time?
You hadn't realized you'd been pacing until Curtis stepped in front of you and grabbed your arms "I don't need an answer tonight. I just wanted to lay the newly played cards down" you nodded slowly then said "If Frank's ok with the deal so am I. My only condition is I tell him about Adi" he smiled then motioned back to the table "No one else has the right to tell him about her. Now let's finish our coffee then come tomorrow I'll let everyone know the ball can start rolling"
Tumblr media
You never knew that time could move so incredibly slow yet so incredibly fast at the same time. The next few months crept by at an iceberg pace. Your nerves were getting worse the closer it came to Billy getting out.
A small reprieve came in the form of Adi choosing to start walking on the day she turned ten months old. You were sitting in the middle of Frank and Karen's living room with her on your lap. You'd been talking to Karen but the moment Frank walked in Adi had stood up which she'd been doing for a couple weeks but then she took a few wobbly steps. All of you held your breath so Frank walked closer. She made it to him before she started to fall but he caught her before she could. "You wanted uncle Frank huh kiddo?" He asked her with a broad smile. 
Karen grinned at you "Oh he's gonna talk about this for months" Frank winked at her "Why wouldn't I? Out of everyone she walked for her uncle Frank" 
Of course the next few days after that involved Frank and Curtis baby proofing every household Adi spent any time whatsoever at. 
Tumblr media
The day of Adi's first birthday Karen was over bright and early to help you despite her party not being until that afternoon. 
Sarah and David were out of town visiting family and had came the week before to bring her presents. Dinah had to be in meetings so did Sam so it would be you,Frank, Karen, Curtis, Alice, Kenzie and Matt at your place. Foggy and Marci were working late on a case.
Adi had went down for her nap so Karen was decorating while you put the icing on both cakes."So how are you doing?" Karen asked as you put the finishing touches on Adi's smash cake. You shrugged "I'm good. Nervous that the date is ticking closer but I'm not thinking about it today. Today is about Adi" she grinned and went back to decorating.
---------------------
By the time you and Karen were finished Adi was waking up. You walked into her room and found her laying in the bed talking to her stuffed wolf Frank had bought her. She had named him Coco the moment Frank handed him to her. "Hey babygirl you ready to get dressed?" You asked and she sat up. 
"I pick?" You laughed and pointed to where you'd already laid three outfits out "Yeah baby, you pick"
You picked her up out the crib then made sure her legs were under her before letting her go. She waddled over and looked between them before pointing to her purple and pink dress. "Good choice! Let's get ready. Aunt Karen even bought you a birthday bow to put in your hair!" Her eyes widened at the mention of a bow.
-----------------------
While you were finishing Adi's hair you heard a knock at the door. "Wonder who that is?" You asked and she grinned "Unkie Frank?" You tilted your head and sure enough heard Frank's deep voice "It is uncle Frank! Let's go show him how pretty you are"
She walked over and grabbed your hand then pulled you towards the door so you opened it and let her waddle out. "Unkie Frank!" 
He of course gushed over how pretty she looked. "Are you ready for some cake babygirl?" She nodded. So he looked back at you "Everyone else is downstairs finding places to park"
-------------------------
You were standing between the kitchen and living room watching with a smile while Karen took photos of Adi demolishing the smash cake. 
She held out one hand towards Frank and called "Unkie Frank" and you knew he was had. He dropped his head with a sheepish grin and walked to her "Yeah babygirl?" Her response was to smear hot pink icing across his face. You couldn't remember the last time you laughed so hard.
You heard the camera clicked and realized Karen had caught a candid of you and she grinned "Sorry mama. You looked too happy not to catch it" then she turned her attention back to Adi and Frank who was now being offered pieces of cake from Adi. Matt walked up next to you and bumped your shoulder "how's Frank look wearing icing?" You laughed and leaned towards him "I don't think I can accurately describe it" he grinned in response "Your voice tells enough of a story"
You glanced towards his face and saw he was facing towards where Adi was sitting giggling as Curtis came close enough for an icing attack on him as well. "So are you excited for Billy to meet her?" He asked after a moment and you went silent knowing he could tell if you lied. 
"Honestly? I'm nervous Matt" one eyebrow raised before he said "Why? I've talked to him Y/N. He's even asked me about you. I don't know how much he remembers where you and I are concerned but I don't think he's exactly gonna get out and run when he finds out you have a daughter"
"I've hid her from him" you clarified and he shrugged "All of us in this room have hid things from each other at one time or another. Doesn't mean we don't care. It'll work out but for today just enjoy Adi. You're an amazing mom and have busted your back to make sure she's had a good life up until now. Whatever comes next you have her back and we all have yours" 
That was something you had always liked about Matt, he always seemed to be able to talk people into believing in themselves. Even when he didn't believe in himself after Elektra was killed. There had been a while you had worried about him but you had in his own words been too stubborn to let him go through it alone.
"Thanks Matt" you said and reached out to hug him but he'd turned into it before you had a chance which shouldn't have surprised you "Any time. Remember no matter what's in the past we're friends. You said it yourself back when Adi was first born. It's a motley crew but we're all family by now" "Even Billy?" You asked quietly and he nodded "Even him"
Tumblr media
The next two months seemed to come and go in the blink of an eye. 
Curtis had ended up as a go between of sorts to plan Billy wanting to see you when he got out. After some thought you'd decided it was better to rip the bandaid off so the working plan was that Karen would come pick up Adi about an hour before Billy was supposed to be at your place giving the two of you enough time to talk.
It was a simple enough plan but just like everything in your life when did anything ever go as planned?

Estera "Miłka" Polińska v1.0
Model credits here
February me did not know how much it would impact me to buy that damn game just because it was on discount /pos
But yes, that's an OC based on Lethal Company (their name is Estera and they go by they/them). I'm not really keen on making characters based on someone's elses AU/enviroment?/etc., so this is a pretty big deal for me. Nevertheless, it didn't stop me from spending most of July on working on Estera's model and their character. They were occupying the space in my head rent free you could say.
The point I made above also lead to me creating a new (and first ever) sideblog, focused on LC content. I didn't want to spam this blog with all the information, reblogs and everything of that game so I got myself a place for it. So if you're interested in it, you can follow it here: @pawrogi (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
More rambling below↷
I won't really be going into details of Estera character as I will probably be talking about it on my sideblog (like I did in this reblog). Rather I will go into the functionality of the model itself as I wouldn't be myself if I didn't add some details.
Firstly, the props~
Flashlight and walkie-talkie are not a part of an outfit in-game, they're just a stand-alone objects. Although I wanted for my version of the said outfit to be more detailed and functional lore-wise, i.e. what I imagine could be a more realistical way of equiping/holding those objects while you're exploring. So one of the things I added to the belt are holders for those objects. You can freely move them from their original place on model. Both have their own morphs: walkie-talkie has a retractable antennae thing and flashlight can be toggled on to react to Soboro's "AutoLuminous" effect. And as an addition/accessory, I've also made the infamous shovel.
Comparison between in-game objects (left) and my version of them (right):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other than holders and some additional pockets, I've made that the belt can act as a climbing harness. And yeah, those are not the perfect replictation of a proper climbing harness but that's just a detail I want to ignore. I'd imagine that lore-wise there'd be some uses for it and you gotta at least pretend that the HQ cares about the health and safety of its employees.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you could see from the gif at the beginning, Estera has a couple of different looks.
Of course I've made the iconic helmet but it took away a bit of the character's personality, made them too anonymous. This design works perfectly in game but here I was looking for something more, you could say, personal. Therefore I've also made a "lighter" version of the helmet. Covering your whole head can save you from harmful uvs or whatever enviromental hazards the game's moons present, but in the safer places I thought that a simple mask with oxygen would be sufficient. At the same time, it shows more of character's face and makes them feel more like an individual than "just another employee". Of course I've also made the version without any masks or eyepatches because why not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
From other functions, you can also take the oxygen tanks off if there'd be a need for it. And also there's a morph to make my gay heart skip a beat /j
Tumblr media
But yeah, I think that'd be all! Not much but at the same time it's quite a lot for just a model so.
As a little bonus, you can have a video from when I was working on the model's rig. (motion "jewel" by エバ, じゅんこだ, Oisis)
and that is the name of the save I had prepared for the testing with the said motion
