Bad First Impression, Lynn Angel x Reader (Gender-Neutral)

Word Count: 1,706 Summary: Your first time meeting Lynn doesn’t go very smoothly.  

Read it on AO3 too

When you first met him, you thought he had a stick up his ass. 

You had been friends with Niel and Ira for a while. You’d met online while playing a video game together. After a while, the three of you started hanging out irl. Turns out you had a lot in common with them. You loved animals like Nini and would visit the shop he worked at. You’d play video games with them online. You even guest starred in one of Ira’s streams. Soon enough, the three of you were attached at the hip. One day, as the three of you wandered between shops, an idea came to mind.

“You should come over to our flat sometime”, said Ira in between slurps of his blood boba.

“Sure! I’d love to.” 

The next time the three of you met, you did exactly that. 

“Wooow your apartment’s so big!”

“Let us give you the grand tour”, said Nini excitedly.

First stop was Nini’s room. With a nostalgic smile on his face and his hands on his hips, Ira told you about how he gave it a “hell makeover” for him when he first moved in. Nini’s face scrunches up at the memory. 

After that, the three of you go room by room. You meet Damao and Abu. They both introduce themselves and chat with you for a bit, just basic small talk. The three of you head downstairs to the living room afterwards. It was video game time. You spend a few hours playing game after game, mario kart, street fighter, you name it. Time flew and it had been hours. You hadn’t even realized it was so late until the front door opened. 

Low and behold, there he was. Blonde hair, big white wings, sweatervest, suitcase in hand, and a scrunched up face. Niel and you both turned to face him while Ira kept his eyes on the TV screen, both of his feet propped up on the coffee table. 

“Oh, hi Mr. Lynn. Y/N this is Mr. Lynn. He’s our roommate and superintendent”, Niel said.

“Nice to meet you-”

“No guests after midnight. You should leave. Ira, take your feet off of the coffee table.”, Lynn said coldly, cutting you off before you could finish greeting him. 

“This place is a mess”, he mutters under his breath, loud enough for the three of you to hear. 

Ira slowly took his feet off of the table with a wide-eyed look.

“Is it already that late? Sorry, Mr. Lynn!”, Niel sheepishly replied. “Oh, I didn’t know that was a rule”, you said.

“It is. Please clean up the mess you made and leave”, Lynn’s stern voice hits your ears. He walks into his room and closed the door before you could say anything else.

“Sorry about that, Y/N. Mr. Lynn can be pretty strict about the flat rules”.

“Yeah, he’s not the nicest person when we break them”, Ira says as he puts his feet back up on the coffee table, but not before sparing a glance towards Lynn’s room. 

“It’s fine. It’s late and I should get going anyway. Thanks for inviting me over”, you say as you gather your things and clean up the bags of snacks scattered all over the table. You couldn’t deny you were a bit annoyed by the way Lynn had told you to leave so rudely. Niel grabs the the empty drink containers and throws them into the trash can.

“Sorry for keeping you so late. You’re welcome over any time”, Niel says nervously as he walks you to the front door.

“Yeah, mate, come over soon so I can kick your ass in smash bros again”, Ira gives a lazy wave from his spot on the couch.

You say your goodbyes and head home.

You felt awkward coming over again after that encounter. Niel and Ira told you that Lynn was usually busy and out of the apartment, but still. Niel insisted that Lynn really wasn’t that bad and that you should give him a chance. The next few times you hang out with Niel and Ira it’s at your apartment or places around town. Discord chats consisting of

“Hey, Y/N, wanna come over and play smash?” “I was actually gonna do some shopping downtown. Wanna join me?” “Sure”

“Yeah”

And 

“VR at our place??” “Sure, but how about we grab a bite to eat first?”.

Those “quick bite to eat”s would turn into chatting in a ramen shop for hours until it was too late to come over. You didn’t always do it on purpose! You swore it was a coincidence, but a part of you was glad. 

Eventually, your excuses would run out, like today.

“Y/N!! Come over and have dinner with us! We’re having hot pot :3”

You read the text chat and mull it over for a minute. Damn you, love of hot pot! You folded, like a chair. 

“Sure what time” Niel gives you the details and you come over. You’re not even halfway through the front door when the smell hits you. It’s heavenly. Maybe because Lynn threw in some special angel seasoning. 

“Hey, guys! Woah, food smells great”.

“Y/N! Thanks for coming!”, Niel smiles as he gives you a hug.

“Hey, Y/N. Glad you could make it”, Ira gives you a side hug once Niel’s done with his.

You take off your shoes and follow them into the dining room. The table is covered with plates of food with a huge hot pot in the center. The characters around the table are just as colorful, with some you haven’t met yet. You greet Abu and Damao. 

“You must be Y/N! Nice to meet you! I’m Lily. I like your outfit!”, a young blonde-haired angel enthusiastically shakes your hand. 

“Nice to meet you too. Thank you”, you reply nervously, not having expected the compliment. 

“Lily is my sister. It occurred to me that I never properly introduced myself. I apologize. I’m Lynn. It’s nice to meet you.”, Lynn awkwardly sticks out his hand for you to shake. It seems like he felt a bit guilty for scolding you last time. 

“No worries. It’s nice to meet you too”, you say with a smile as you shake his hand. 

It’s not exactly an apology, but hey, you’ll take what you can get. You did still break the rules after all (even thought you didn’t know about them beforehand). He seems to relax at this and cracks a small smile. That is, until he hears a familiar voice.

“Oh my god. Where have they been hiding you?”, a thick Australian accent hits your ears, but the voice is too deep to be Niel’s. An arm slings around your shoulder. Looking up, you see a demon with dark hair and red horns smiling at you.

“You’re gorgeous. My name’s Nick, but you can call me any time”, he says with a wink.

“Oh, uh, hi”.

“Nick, you weren’t invited. What are you doing here?”, Lynn calls out irritated. 

“Lynn! I’m offended!” “Then you should leave”

“I’ll forgive you if the apology is food”

“You’re not having dinner with us. I only made enough for- hey!” Nick pulls Lynn into a tight side hug, “Don’t worry about cooking more for me. I’ll survive”.

Lynn is getting more irriated by the second as Nick squishes him. 

“Go away, Nick”, Niel chimes in.

You look at him surprised. You’ve never seen Neil so annoyed before. He has such a gloomy aura about him…scary.

Nick gasps dramatically, “Et tu, Neil? So much for family love!”.

“You guys are family?”, you question.

“No”, Neil instantly replies. 

“Neil hasn’t told you about me? I’m his older brother.”, Nick ignores his comment. 

“Half-brother”, you hear Neil mutter. 

“I’m a very loving and nurturing figure in his life. I’m a provider. I provide.”, he smiles at you. The message is clear, “I can provide FOR YOU. You can swoon now.”. You’ve clearly bewitched him with your awkward, slouched figure. That or he’s a playboy. You’ll go with option B. 

“Oh, that’s very… nice of you”, you say slowly.

“Except he’s lying”, Neil spits out hatefully as he crosses his arms.  “We should grab another chair for Nick!”, Lily’s cheery voice cuts through the tension, like a butter knife. 

 Before anyone can stop him, Damao goes into the living room and returns with a chair that doesn’t match any of the others at the table. Whether he was as naive as Lily or if he just wanted the arguing to be over is anyone’s guess. 

Everyone takes a seat. Lynn, Lily, and Neil sit next to each other on one side of the table. Neil looks ecstatic about sitting next to Lily but Lynn looks like he wants to decapitate him. It doesn’t help that across from him is Nick. Who, of course, chose to sit next to you. Damao also sits next to you. Abu and Ira sit at either end of the table. Lynn tosses some meat and vegetables to cook into the hot pot. Lily starts chatting happily about school and others start to chime into the conversation. 

“How about you?”, Lily asks her older brother. 

“Good. My professor said that my thesis has a good foundation but needs more research”, Lynn responds.

“Are you a grad student, Lynn?”, you question.

“Yes, I’m getting my phD in anthropology”.

“That’s great! I’m considering going to grad school too. What do you think of it so far?” “It’s hard work, but rewarding. This isn’t my first time attending a grad school.” “Oh?” “Yes, I have 107 phDs”

“What! 107? That’s insane! That’s so cool!”, you praise him.

His cheeks turn red at the compliment, “Ah, it’s really no big deal”.

“No big deal? One phD is crazy hard, but 107! That’s a huge deal”, you continue.

He’s cracked a rather large smile and is blushing harder than he has in years. Hearing you praise him makes him happy. It doesn’t help that he thinks you’re attractive, not that he would admit that. 

“Would you like more broth, Y/N?”, he offers.

“Yes, please”, you hand him your bowl. 

Maybe the two of you can get along after all.

We're A Family Part 17 (Steddie X You)

A/N: Thank you for your patience with me. I'm still moving a bit slow but I've been living in my comfort fics while writing a new comfort fic so yeah <3

Warnings: Dads Steddie and Mama Fem Reader, SMUT, mostly near the end with a lot of passion between da boys. FLUFF , we have an adorable addition to the Munson-Harrington crew <3 as well as Ro's birthday. ANGST because I'm me, Steve does something stupid with the best intentions, Him and Eddie get into a fight, Eddie's dad makes a cameo, Eddie talks about first moving in with Wayne, Dylan talks about divorce (dont panic! Its fine. We're all fine. Im not that angsty.) and I think that's it.

Word Count: 5369

“Ok, ladies and gentlemen, what are the bets this time around?” The doctor grins as he looks at your little family. 

“We’re at 3 to 2 with girl being in the lead.”, Steve beams.

“I love it. Let’s take a look.”

It had been about four months since you found out you were pregnant again and this time around was rough. The first few months were spent throwing up pretty much everything you ate and your cravings had been stronger than they had been before. You found yourself getting grumpier and more irritable which the boys didn’t seem to mind, doing everything they could to make things easier. 

You got the house by the lake and everyone (especially Wayne) was excited for the move. Aurora’s birthday was coming up soon which, while still happy, always made you and Eddie nervous. That first year his mom showed up at your door and the two birthdays after she called his phone begging him to come speak at his father’s appeal. 

Steve finally told his mom that you were pregnant with his biological child and she was over the moon. He begged her not to tell his dad and so far she seemed to honor his request. 

“Alright, Munson-Harrington gang. Congratulations, it looks like we have a healthy baby boy!”

***

“Ok, we have to think of a name.”, Eddie mused as he took a bite from the burger on his plate. “What do you think, kid?” Dylan shrugs causing the metalhead to playfully role his eyes. “You’re no help. What about you, my angel?”

“Han.”, Aurora smiles as she chews on her fries.

“I wouldn’t hate that. Harrison Ford in those earlier movies was so sexy.”

Your son makes a face as both men laugh. “You don’t have any special memories with a name? Like I did with Ro?”

Eddie thought for a moment before a smirk crept across his lips. “James.”, he nods, shifting his gaze towards you two. “When my mother left me with Wayne, I was confused. I genuinely thought she would be coming back so I sat on his couch by the door and just waited. Every now and then he would ask if I was ok or if I needed something and I always told him no. Right before dinner that night, he sat at his little table in the trailer with this rickety, old acoustic guitar and started playing Dio’s Rock n’ Roll Children.”, he chuckles. 

Dylan leaned against his side and Eddie lifts his arm to wrap around his shoulders. 

“Now my uncle is a god-awful singer but man could he play. I was so fascinated by how his fingers moved that I got up to sit with him. He smiled, placing a sandwich in front of me and I ate as I watch him. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to play the guitar. It took me a few days to realize Lynn wasn’t back but Wayne was always there with a new song. Anyway…”, he sighs as his voice becomes lighter. “The lead singers name is Ronnie James.”

You and Steve smile at him as you caress his leg under the table with your foot. 

“I like James.”

“Me to.”, the other man agrees. “James Wayne Munson-Harrington.”

#########

 “Oh, Y/N, you guys don’t have to do that.”, Wayne bashfully grins. 

“We know but we’re going to because we want to.” Winking at him, you stick your fork into the cake on the counter. 

“Honey, we have plates.”

“Yes, baby, we do. It’s this thing UNDER the cake.” Steve playfully narrows his eyes in your direction. “Look everyone else said they were full and I’m eating cake for two!”

He holds up his hands defensively as Eddie rounds the corner with Ro who reaches for her grandpa, demanding he hold her. 

“Listen here you. No more birthdays. We’re stopping today at four, understand?”

“No, granpa! I…be…a big girl.”, she declares tossing her hands in the air. 

The phone rings and Steve chuckles as he reaches over to answer it.

“Hello?”

“Hello. This is a collect call from Hawkins Penitentiary from inmate: Al Munson. Will you accept the call and charges?”

The man glances at Eddie who now has a big smile on his face as he tickles Aurora who in turn hides in Wayne’s neck hoping her father can’t reach her. After a few seconds, he hangs up.

“Who was it, baby?”, you ask.

“Wrong number.”

****

Steve’s foot bounces as he waits behind the glass, eyes constantly searching his surroundings. A guard on the other side, opens a door and brings over the prisoner placing him front of the awaiting man. He had never met Eddie’s dad but he had seen a few pictures. The inmate looking at him now was much older and worn by prison life. He did have a lot of his husband’s features especially in the face but his eyes weren’t as soft as Eddies. 

“You’re not my son.”

“No…no I’m not and neither is Eddie.” Allen squinted at his guest in confusion. “Look, I just came down here to tell you and Lynn to leave him alone. Every time we change our number, you guys always find it again and bother him on what is supposed to be a day about his daughter, not you. He spent so much time worried about you both and paying for the sins of everything you guys did to him. It’s time for him to be happy.”

“I see. And what are you going to do if I don’t, Mr. Harrington? Call the cops?”, he snickered. “I have done more than enough time to pay for my own sins. Edward could really help me out here and as my son he should want to.”

“What he wanted was a father and he found that in Wayne when your wife abandoned him. He gave up on you a long time ago.”

“Why are YOU here? Do you speak for him now since you fuck him?” Steve’s eyes narrowed in annoyance at the man’s comment. “Oh yeah. I know about you, him, and that girl…what’s her name. Honestly, I don’t give a shit about any of that. If my son wants to bend over and—”

“Don’t. Don’t fucking finish that sentence, Allen, or I swear God.”, he growled. “Listen, leave him alone and I can help you in here.”

“How can you help me?”

“I have some money set aside. I can give you some to make things a bit easier.”

Eddie’s dad’s jaw clenches as he weighs his options. “$500 a month and we have a deal.”

###########

A few months had passed and your little family had moved into your new home. Right on time to because about a month after James decided he was ready to join the Munson-Harrington clan. 

Aurora was completely fascinated by the new baby. 

“Dada, bra-der tiny.”

“He’s going to be tiny right now, honey. You have to be very careful with him.”

Her eyes widen as she gently pets the top of his head before leaning down to kiss his nose.

One night while he was crying, she watched as Eddie heated up a bottle and rocked him in his arms as he fed him. 

“Daddy, what’s wrong wit James?”

“He’s just hungry, princess. Babies eat EVERYTHING.” He widened his eyes making her laugh. “Do you want to help me?”

She nods, following him to the couch and takes a seat in his lap. Placing her little hand on the bottle, he allows her to hold it up as the baby continues to suck at its contents eagerly. 

Where Ro was a daddy’s girl, James was a mama’s boy. He loved being in your arms the most and the first time he smiled it was because you were kissing his chubby cheeks. 

Dylan, as always, was a wonderful big brother. He helped out where he could and even offered to babysit his siblings every now and then so you and the guys could spend some time alone. 

“Hey mom. I need some money for baseball. They said that we need $100 for boosters and some equipment.”

“Geez, isn’t that what boosters is for? To raise money for you people?” Dylan beams at you as he gives you a hug making you smile. “Steve? Little man needs $100 of baseball.”

“Jesus, why so much?”

You glanced in his direction taken a bit off guard. Usually when it came to the kids, if they needed anything financially, he didn’t think twice. Between the three of you, money wasn’t as tight but with the new baby and house things weren’t as easy as before so you let it go. Dylan answered his question and he dug in his wallet to give his son what he needed.

“Everything alright, babe?”

“Huh? Yeah, you know me. I just want to make sure we have everything, you know?”

Your head tilted to the side as your wife and mother senses started tingling again. He was hiding something but what could it be? If it was something involving a surprise for you or the kids his face and body language would normally radiate excitement. Something was wrong. 

“Hey, Dylan, do you mind keeping an eye on the other weirdos while I talk to Steve for a minute?”

He nods as you grab the man’s hand and tug him out towards the back porch. 

############

When Eddie got home from work, he found you sitting on the couch gnawing on your thumb as Steve paced in the living room. His eyes found yours as you motioned for him to come sit beside you. 

“Is everything ok? Where are the kids?”

“I asked my sister to watch them so the three of us could talk.” You softly smile as you kiss his cheek. “Steve has something he needs to tell you.”

“Okay? What’s going on, Stevie?”

The way Eddie looked up at him with concerned eyes made him feel so much worse at what he was about to tell him. 

“Um, so, remember how on Aurora’s birthday, you were ecstatic because your mom hadn’t called? Well, uh, your father actually called from prison that day. I answered and hung up on him.”

As the man spoke, you kept your eyes on the metalhead’s face as it slowly fell.

“I-I-I went down there to see him, Ed, and I warned him to leave you alone. He said he needed you and was tired of being in jail, that he and Lynn wouldn’t stop until you showed up at an appeal. So…” Steve’s panicked gaze shifted your way before he looked directly at the man he loved. “For the past few months, I’ve been paying Allen $500 to leave you alone.”

Eddie’s jaw tightened as he tilted his head subtly towards you. 

“Did you know about this?”, he whispered.

“No. I just found out everything today.”

He nodded as he rose to his feet, placing himself in front of Steve. 

“Eddie, I swear, I was trying to make things easier for you. I hated—”

The metalhead’s fist flew knocking the man backwards before climbing on top of him and swinging his arms. 

“Eddie, baby! Stop!” You tried to break them apart but he was too strong. Quickly, prepared for anything, you pushed a few buttons on your phone, sending a text to the one person you knew could get through to him. Three minutes later, Wayne flew in and pried his nephew off the man beneath him. 

“Hey! That is enough! I need you calm down, son.”

“How dare you fucking go behind my back like that, Steven! I told you both NOT to go down there!”

“I was trying to help!”

“By giving him money that can be used for our family, you fucking asshole! You think this is going to stop him?!” He tried to charge at the man again but his uncle held him back. “You have no idea what he’s like. I do!”

“Steve, maybe, you should go for a drive or something. Let him cool down.” He glanced your way and you softly nodded in agreement causing the man to hang his head as he quietly left the house. “Now you look at me, Ed.” Wayne grabbed the metalhead’s face forcing him to focus as he murmured low enough so only he could hear. 

“Eddie, I know you’re angry. I completely understand that but I need you breathe, ok? Your kids may not be here but Y/N is and she’s worried.” His chocolate eyes glanced at your concerned face as you hugged your arms around your body. “There you go. Can you sit on the couch calmly?”

He nods as he moves to take a seat. Without looking your way, his ringed fingers gesture for you to come closer and he pulls you onto his lap, hugging you to his chest. 

“I’m sorry if I scared you.”

“You didn’t. When he told me what he did, I was angry to. Not just because of what he did but because I knew it would hurt you. Eddie, you know how Steve is. He genuinely thought he was protecting you.”

“No. No, Y/N. This is serious. This isn’t like when you went to his mom for money so he could go to school. My father isn’t someone who can be trusted. So many things can go wrong that can get Steve in real trouble. I…”, he shakes his head as he feels his anger rise again. 

“Baby, I’m not excusing what he did but, maybe, if you explain to him more about your father and how this could backfire—”

“Which I could have done if he came to me first.”

“I know, honey. I know.”, you coo as you rub his chest. “Wayne, would you like to stay here? You’re more than welcome. Plus, I’m sure the kids would love to see you when they come back tomorrow.”

***

Eddie’s uncle did spend the night while Steve ended up sleeping a hotel. He texted you letting you know where he was and that he thought it was best to give his husband some space. 

The two youngest kids were excited to see their grandpa when they got home but Dylan sensed something was wrong especially when he walked in and noticed his dad wasn’t there. 

“Is it because I asked for money?”

“No, baby. No.”, you whispered as you kissed his forehead. “He’ll be home later.”

Your answer didn’t seem to sooth him as he sat next to Wayne and watched him try to make James smile. 

“Sir, you have the fattest little belly I have ever seen. I could just…”, he made munching noises in his stomach making the baby giggle as he scrunched his head into his shoulders. 

“Beep beep.”, Aurora parroted as the front door opened and Steve cautiously entered the home. “Dada!” She ran to his arms and he scooped her up giving her a big hug. “Dada, you have an ouch.” When she pointed to the light swelling where Eddie had hit him, he flinched slightly. 

“Yeah, dada is dumb.”

“No.”, she giggled before pointing at Wayne. “Granpa is here. He…he’s making…bra-der happy.”

Dylan’s eyes scanned Steve carefully as he sat across from him in one of the chairs. “You alright, dad?”

“I’m fine, dude. I just missed you guys.”, he smiles. 

You come around the corner and playfully swat at Ro’s curls before tickling her neck with your finger. “You. Scoot so I can say hi to dada.”

“Mama! Stop.”, she laughs as she slides down and sticks her tongue out at you. “You’re mean!”

You laugh along with her as you climb onto Steve’s lap and wrap your arms around his neck. 

“Are you okay?”

“No. I hurt someone I love. He should have hit me harder.”

“Baby…”, you sigh as you press your forehead to his cheek. “We’re going to talk again later after the kids go to bed especially since he’s had time to calm down and process everything.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys. I know I should have—” You fingers cut him off as you place them on his lips. 

“We have eyes on us. Later, ok?”

Steve’s own orbs scan the room finding Dylan watching you both as well as Aurora before she smiles and waves in your direction.

###########

One benefit of having three parents in the house is everyone can focus on one of the kids at any given time. After coming in to check on Ro and kiss her, Eddie stayed behind to tuck her in. As you passed Dylan on the couch downstairs, you poked your head into James’s room to find Steve with a sleeping infant in his arms.

“Alright, my love.”, you exhaled as you dramatically plopped your body down next to your son. “Time for you to go upstairs and get ready for bed.” Silently, he turns off the tv and begins to stand but you tug on the back of his shirt, bringing him down into your arms. “I know you and I know your big, beautiful brain. You’re a worrier like me. You didn’t do anything wrong, ok? You know we don’t mind giving you money for something you enjoy.”

“Everything got weird after I asked.”

“And that has nothing to do with you. Believe it or not, adults have issues sometimes that don’t involve their kids.” Dylan chuckled at your sarcasm as you kissed his cheek.

“I just don’t want to be the reason you guys get divorced or something.” 

As he began to stand, you quickly yank him back again. “Baby, they aren’t Charlie. Just because Steve wasn’t here this morning doesn’t mean that we’re going to break up. The three of us have been together too long and been through too much. And…”, you sigh hating the thoughts that fill your mind as you continue. “Playing the devil’s advocate here, if for some reason we ever did break up, I assure you no matter what, that reason would never be because of you guys or anything you did.”

Dylan smiles as he hugs you before getting to his feet and pulling you up with him. As Eddie comes down the stairs, he meets him half and tugs him into a hug.

“I love you, kid.”

“I love you to.” 

The moment he hears his footsteps bang up to his room, Steve appears and softly smiles in your direction. 

“Counseling degree at work again?”

“No, that would be my mom degree. I saw it on his face when you came home. Even though he knows you guys aren’t like Charlie, I think there’s still a part of him that feels like he could lose you at if one thing goes wrong.”

“I know the feeling.”, Eddie mumbles as he shuffles his feet. “Sometimes I was afraid Wayne would give up on me to. Obviously, that never happened.”

Your hand gently rubs his back and you gesture with your head for you three to head for the bedroom. 

***

The silence was deafening as you sat on the bed near the headboard as Eddie placed himself on the edge with his chin near his chest. Steve pulled one of the chairs from the living room so he could sit in front of you both, fidgeting with his fingers as he waited for someone to speak. 

“Did he ask you for money or did you offer?”, the metalhead asked. 

“I offered. He came up with the amount.”

“Steven, what do you know about prison? In general, I mean.”

“Uh…”

“Did you know that things are snuck in all the time? Drugs, weapons, food, etc.” Steve shook his head. “Did you know he can use your money to get shit like that or give to other inmates to do that? Did you know that people could find out where he’s getting so much money from and send people to harass you for the same treatment?”

When the man shook his head again, his eyes downcast towards the floor in shame. 

“Do you know how I know that? The first time my father went in Wayne tried to help him by sending him $100 a month. A couple months later he asked for more and my uncle told him no. The next day someone broke into his trailer and stole half his shit. We learned later Allen owed some people inside money and when they found out he would be getting out soon they wanted it all upfront. When Wayne told him no, my dad told them where he had been getting the cash from so they sent people to get the rest however they could. Thankfully, he was at work that night.”

“Eddie, I…”

“You’d think prison would reform him but it doesn’t. That’s why he’s there, Steve. He does the same shit in there that he did when he was out. He cons people or steals from them and every time he always loses.”, he sighs angerly. “And that’s just one of the many reasons I’m pissed. We just had a fucking baby, Steven! $500 barely covers half of what he needs, plus Aurora and Dylan’s essentials. That’s for the kids. The three of us need things to including this house!”

You scoot closer and wrap your arms around him as you lean against his shoulder. You had never seen him like this. When he had gotten angry with his mom at Ro’s first birthday that was one thing. Right now, this was fury out of fear for you five and something that could have been avoided if—

“But I think what pisses me off the most is you didn’t fucking talk to me. I have always been up front with you when it came to your parents and especially your dad. Your dad isn’t like mine Steve. He could get someone fucking killed and I’ll be damned if it’s someone in my family. I don’t just ignore him and Lynn for me. I do it to protect you guys. It’s a simple thing and you made it way more complicated.”

A tear escaped down Steve’s cheek that he quickly wiped away as he sat up straighter and cleared his throat.

“I’m, um…I’m sorry, Eddie. You’re right. I should have talked to you, both of you. No matter what my intentions were. I—”

“Don’t do that.”, you cut him off. “Don’t do that authoritative, businessman style voice and dialogue you do because you think it’s what people want to hear.” His eyes roll as his leans forward and his leg bounces. “Be honest, Steve. Be yourself.”

“When he called you were making Aurora laugh, Ed, while Wayne was holding her. Y/N, you were eating cake out of the pan with a fork because you were pregnant and you and Dylan were leaning against each other smiling…it was perfect. A perfect fucking day without Charlie causing problems or Lynn calling to trigger his pain. My dad wasn’t appearing out of nowhere to fuck shit up or you mom to remind you that you’re still the town whore!” Steve’s beautiful brown irises looked at anything but you two as he tried to control his emotions. 

“For this one moment, everything was exactly as it should be. Then your dad called, Eddie, reminding me something was always waiting…looming in the background to fuck everything up. So, yeah, I went down there to protect us; to protect you. Motherfucker is lucky there was glass between us.”, he growled. “With Lynn and Allen, I don’t know how you turned out so fucking amazing. I can understand why you would want them out of your life for good.” Steve shrugs as he leans back again. “Since I couldn’t hit him and I couldn’t convince him, I did the only other thing I could think of.”

“Well thank God you didn’t become a businessman like your dad wanted or he would have lost a ton of money.” Their eyes meet for the first time since they entered the room as they both let a breathy chuckle. “Steve, when will you realize that you don’t have to protect us and be the hero alone?”

The baby monitor starts to light up and you hastily get up before they can to check on James. 

“I’m sorry I hit you.”

Steve got up from his chair to sit beside Eddie and wrapped his arms around him like you had. 

“It’s okay. I’m sorry I lied to you. I’m so fucking sorry, babe.”

The metalhead sighs using his fingers to lift his chin and bring his lips to his. 

“Even though I’m mad at you, I still love you. I hope you know that.”

The boy nods as he kisses his lips again before trailing them down his cheek to his shoulder. 

##############

Allen glances at the three Munson-Harrington adults, sitting on the other side of the glass before really taking in his son in front of him.

Eddie knew he’d have to go down to the prison to fix what Steve had done but you were surprised when he asked you two to join him. On the drive there, he inhaled one cigarette after the other until you reached over and stole his pack so he wouldn’t overdo it. While you waited, his eyes darted around as he occasionally babbled to block out his internal panic. 

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. The last time was when I was 10, I think. My mom brought me and I remember them arguing about him being stuck in here. She said she couldn’t handle me alone.”, he shakily laughed. “Actually, it was more ‘what am I supposed to do with him.’”

“Eddie…”  Turning his head, you kiss his lips as you caress his cheek with your thumb. “Everything is going to be ok. We’re right here with you.”

He nodded before gazing at Steve who was glaring into the void as Eddie reached to hold his hand before leaning to whisper in his ear. “Come back to me, sweetheart. I need you.”

“Well shit.”, Allen sarcastically smiled. “To what do I owe the pleasure? Your boyfriend and I already came up with an arrangement so you didn’t need to come down here.”

“Husband. Not boyfriend. Always glad to know you’re just happy to see me, Allen.”

“Allen? Really? You call Wayne daddy now?”

“More or less for the last about 18 years.” They glare at each other before Eddie snickers. “You’re not even going to pretend to be nice to win me over, are you? I have no idea why you or Lynn would ask me to lie for you if you can’t even say something civil like ‘Hey Ed. Nice to see you.’”

You intertwine your fingers with his as your heart breaks. This was probably just a taste of what little Edward Munson experienced and it killed you. 

“Look, we weren’t planning on staying for long. I just wanted to tell you the money Steve has been sending stops now and if you tell anyone that my family gave you that, I swear to God, I will make it my personal mission to make your life a living hell in here. You think things are bad now…”

You’d be lying if you didn’t say his dominance turned you on. There was nothing sexier to you than seeing them both be protective over you and the kids. Usually, it was Steve acting as protector and when he did it with Mr. Osbourne it drove you crazy. Hearing Eddie do it now was not only making you proud of him but excited to jump him later. 

“Fine but in return I want you to go the appeal for me.”

“No, that won’t be happening either and let me tell you why. If you keep calling me, sending letters, or any other bullshit like that, I will come to your appeal but it won’t be on your behalf. I’ll remind the judge that you’re a scam artist and a fucking car thief but I’ll also enlighten them on what a great father you were to me between the black eyes and verbal assaults.”

Eddie leans closer to the glass as his eyes burn into the man on the other side. 

“I am not a kid anymore. You two think you can still bully me but you’re wrong. You both need me way more than I need you.”

With that, he rises from the chair to leave before pausing and gesturing towards his father to wait with his index finger. Abruptly, he grabs Steve’s collar and tugs his lips to his for a passionate kiss. When he finally lets him go, the other man smirks, drunk off Eddie’s taste alone as the metalhead flips off his dad and turns to leave him behind. 

****

About a mile down the road from the prison, Eddie swerved his van into an empty area, hurling off his seatbelt and shoving Steve into the back where you had been sitting. You stayed out of the way, allowing the metalhead to take control. There was a sense of urgency in their kisses, both needing each other in that moment. Eddie needed to convey to him that he could take care of him to and Steve showing him that he could willing give up that urge to control for his husband to take be there for him.  

As they shoved down their pants, you slid your fingers down your own, rubbing your clit as you watched Eddie spit in his hand and stroke his cock before breaching Steve’s entrance. 

“Fuck, yes. I love you so much, baby. Let-Let me take care of you.”

All Steve could do was nod as he wrapped his arms around him and clung to him as Eddie pumped into him harder. His ring lined hand reached out into the air and it took you a moment to realize he was trying to find you. As you leaned into his touch he yanked the back of your neck, bringing your lips to his.

When he dipped his fingers into your jeans and between your legs, he couldn’t help but smile against your lips. 

“You’re so wet, princess. You like watching us together?”

Your own palm held the back of his from the outside of your pants as you rested your forehead on his. 

“I like watching you—mmm—take care of us. I love you, Eddie. I’m so proud of you.”

He heavily sighed as he thrust into you both faster. Hearing Steve loudly grunt, you two watch him as his face scrunches and he releases his spend near the bottom of his tummy. Eddie grins as you push against his hand, guiding his pace until he feels you shutter and cum on his fingers.  As you collapse next to Steve, he leans over the boy’s face as he chases his high. 

“You’re both so—f-fuck—fucking pretty when you cum.”

Watching with half lidded eyes, you softly smile as Steve reaches up to caress his face, listening as he whispers sweetly to him. 

“I love you to, honey. So fucking much. Cum, Eddie, please. We want to see it. I want to feel you fill me up. You…you deserve to…fuck…” He struggled to get the last few words out as the metalhead pumped into him so hard you imagined the van was shaking from the outside. They both grunted at the feeling as the boy came inside of him and like you collapsed on his other side.

The three of you panted as you starred at the ceiling. 

“I am sorry I put you in this position, Munson.”

“I mean… I put you in this position but you know me…I’m open to any and all positions as long as it feels good for everyone.”

They smile when you giggle as Steve shakes his head playfully. “You’re so stupid.”

“You don’t have to keep apologizing. I forgive you, Harrington.” He leans up on his elbow to kiss him before dramatically leaning across him to do the same with you. “Alright, you two recharge and I’ll drive us home.”

( meant to be )

pair: prince!jake x princess!reader | genre: fluff, meet-cute, royal!au | warning(s): none! | wc: around 1k | synopsis: in which you plan to escape from meeting your husband-to-be. 

lynne’s notez🗒️: HAPPY BIRTH MONTH TO MY MAN JAKEEE😵‍💫😵‍💫 i cannot explain in words how much i love jake !!  also this is soooo inspired by bridgerton queen charlotte 

Climbing out of a three-story window, in an Indian sapphire encrusted gown should be considered a triathlon with the way it had you panting as if you had just swam thirty meters, ran five miles and cycled through a rusty forest. The old Victorian window was also no help at all, the way it wouldn’t open without some elbow grease.

Your grip tightens around the ivy vine as you feel yourself slip ever so slightly. You needed a better way to escape. You jump and almost lose your grip when a gentle voice appears from behind you.

“What are you doing?” the voice asks, laced with curiosity. The cold wind of the night blows and it makes you wish you had thrown on something a little bit more covering as the chill settles over your skin.

You roll your eyes. “Baking cookies,” you say with sarcasm. You assumed the voice was a random maid, prying on your royal life. You ignore him, hoping he’d be uninterested and leave. You loosen your grip and drop down just a bit, almost touching the ground with the way your gown draped just over the soil. 

“Do you want help?” the voice offers. He sounds amused and that boils your blood. How could he laugh at the princess trying to escape from meeting her royal suitor? 

“No. I don’t. Now please, leave.” You shut your eyes and pray he’d listen to you. “That is an order from your princess.” You say (a bit embarrassed), trying to assert your dominance and instead of leaving like you asked, the voice laughs. 

“But, I can’t just leave a damsel in distress.” He says and you can almost picture a smirk on the mystery person. You groan indefinitely and throw your head back. He just wasn’t going to leave you alone, was he?

“Well, are you just going to stand there or help a damsel?” You say irritatingly. He chuckles and you can hear shuffling from behind you. He reaches up and suddenly a strong pair hands of wrap around your waist. You slowly let go of the vines, pleading to the angels above that he doesn’t drop you. 

His grip tightens and you feel a bit a flustered. He’s impossibly close as he gently lets you down and you feel your feet hit the earth once again. 

You look down at your dress and pretend to dust it off, thanking the moon for not shining down your rose-dusted cheeks. Your heart was beating so fast and loud, you were sure he could hear it. Deciding you had had enough, you gather your skirts and begin to walk away. 

“Wait a second,” the voice says and his hands catch your forearm, spinning you around and into his chest. He holds you by the waist as you stare into his big brown eyes. He smells of vanilla and fresh parchment. He has high cheek bones and pink lips that curve into an adoring smile, one that makes your stomach turn. His hair is swooped neatly and his clothes are adorned with gold finishes. Your breath shortens and you want to lean in. Lean in and be close. It’s enticing the way his pretty eyes invite you in. 

And then it dawns on you. He is no random maid. 

“I found the princess!” You hear one of the royal guards yell. The mysterious man lets you go almost instantly at the sound of new voices and takes a step back to clear his throat. You cough awkwardly, letting the new thought sink in. 

Your head snaps up at the sound of your mother’s voice approaching you hastily. The queen is walking quickly towards the two of you, a stern look on her face. “Y/n, where on earth have you been?” you can tell she’s trying hard not to raise her voice.

“I believe she went to take a moonlit stroll in the garden, which I must say is lovely.” The mystery man says, showing off his heart-melting smile. You’re slightly stunned. He just saved you from a long and terrible lecture from your mother. 

And it must work because your mother nods and her face relaxes. “Well, I see you’ve meet your suitor.”

“Prince Jaeyun of Bane, your majesty.” he bows and he suddenly takes your hand, his lips meeting with your knuckles, leaving a small kiss on your skin. You swear your knees buckle and you lose your balance. 

Jaeyun smiles his smile as your mother turns away and orders for the front doors to be opened. His steps fall into tune with yours as you walk. 

“You did not tell me you were my suitor.” You huff, cheeks pink with embarrassment. You refuse to at look him and fall under a spell once more. 

“You did not ask.” He says simply. Jaeyun bites his bottom lip as he tries to get you to look at him. He finds your embarrassment quite cute. Strands of your hair escape from your loose bun and he reaches out to tuck some behind your ear. 

This sets your heart on fire. You finally turn to look at him and Jaeyun fights back a smile when you give in to him. 

“I am not ready for marriage.” You say clearly, anticipating his reaction. Instead of becoming upset like most people have when you told them, Jaeyun’s smile only grows. 

“Then I am willing to wait for you.” Jaeyun says surely. He laces his hands with yours and your heart swells.

Maybe you are meant to be.

enjoy :) 

Y/N’s cheeks had never burned so much in her life as Draco stared at her from the doorway. “I didn’t for that. I don’t know why he did that.”

“Did I ask?” Draco’s lips had twisted into a sneer.

“Well, um,” she stuttered. “I just thought…”

“You just thought what?”

“Christ, Draco, can we not do this right now?” she said, bending down to pick up the bag of decorations off the ground. Her heart was hammering in her chest. “We literally just made up. Can we just be friends again and skip you being weird?”

“We were never–”

“We were friends,” she said sternly. An accusatory finger raised and pointed towards him. “I’d go as far as to say that we are friends, even though I don’t quite understand why lately you insist on throwing a hissy fit every time we talk. Don’t even try to pull that with me.”

“I do not throw hissy fits–”

“I rest my case,” said Y/N, brushing past him. She wasn’t quite sure where this boldness was coming from. She was just so, so sick of Draco constantly slipping through her fingers, even if it meant having to fight him every step of the way. She was just about to ascend the steps to her room when Draco caught her wrist.

“Wait.”

She spun. “What is it now?”

He let go. “Do you have a moment? I wanted to talk more about Merlin’s box.”

“It depends. Are you going to be nice?”

“Are you?”

“I’m hardly the problem here,” Y/N retorted.

Draco sniffed. “Fine. I’ll be an angel. Happy now?”

They sat down at the table. Y/N looked at the papers strewn over his desk. Only some of them were the recognizable Physics worksheets—the others were notes written up on yellow parchment in his elegant, swooping cursive.

“What’s this?” she asked, picking up one and peering. She couldn’t recognize most of the words. They were all magical terms.

“Notes on Merlin’s Box,” answered Draco. He was poking through the pile closer to him, and she tried her best not to notice that he’d cuffed his sleeves, revealing forearms that looked, simply put, very good. “I’ve been trying to do some research. Some of my friends have been sending me books from their home libraries on the subject.”

“What have you found?”

“Not much. I was wondering if you happened to know anything about the owners of the shop. I don’t understand how something as powerful as Merlin’s Box could just end up in the middle of Muggle Ohio.”

Y/N hummed, tapping a pen to her lip. “I’m sorry. I wish I knew. I think they sold it a bit ago. We can try looking online?” She tugged her laptop from across the table and started typing in, “My Grandfather’s Attic Cincinnati” into the search bar. A few options came up, but most were dated long before anything was relevant and the most recent was an article on the state of the store after the snowstorm, the event being tied to the rise in crime. “Nothing. Damn.”

“Maybe the owners didn’t know,” mused Draco. “They must have been magic. But the box is one of the most powerful magical objects in the Wizarding World. It’s, like, the Elder Wand or the Philosopher’s Stone or something equivalent. If they had known, there was no way they would have put it on display, especially without wards.”

“I’m not sure if I understand what you’re saying.”

Draco snapped to attention. “Er, sorry. The Elder Wand and the Philosopher’s Stone are special magical objects. The former is the most powerful wand in existence. The latter can bring the dead back to life, or something of the sort. I never bothered to learn much about it.”

“What’s a ward?”

“It’s a series of magical protections,” explained Draco, seeming rather helpful for once. “Like, a forcefield or something. They can be charmed to repel certain people and let in others.”

“So that’s what’s on the door?”

“Yes.” Draco’s jaw was tight. “Exactly what’s on the door.”

“Why do you think they left?”

“I’m not sure,” he said. “They left almost everything behind. Maybe whoever is looking for Merlin’s Box scared them away.” 

Y/N carded through the parchment he had been examining, letting the rough texture of the paper slide under her fingertips. She felt a deep, sad pull in her gut as she looked up at him. He was distracted, looking over his own notes. She permitted herself the privilege of examining him unnoticed. 

Sometimes she was convinced that what happened on New Year’s Eve was a dream after all, or perhaps an elaborate hallucination. It was impossible to reconcile the soft, affectionate Draco she’d known with the one sitting across from her. He was untouchable. Logically, Y/N knew that all she had to do was reach out a hand before she felt the warmth of his skin through the expensive fabric of his shirt, but it was so much more complicated than that. It was like there was a force field erected around him, an unspoken rule that she was not to come near him again, that it was, in his own words, “not correct”. 

It wasn’t fair. None of this was fair. The sickest part of all was that it didn’t matter what happened after all—he was going to return home one day, and she would have to carry around this heavy secret for the rest of her life. 

Sylvia was the only person she could ever speak freely to about the entire situation. Y/N had had a few bare conversations with her as they walked to and from Art History, but they never made her feel any better, no matter how many times Sylvia assured her that he most certainly felt the same way.

“So what do you suggest I do?” Y/N would always ask, quirking an eyebrow. 

Sylvia would normally sigh before responding with some iteration of, “I never said I knew that, now, did I?”

“Why aren’t the American magical authorities helping?” asked Y/N, manually shaking herself out of her thoughts. 

Draco peeked up at her from his mound of books and notes. “They did look into it briefly, apparently. But nothing came of it. I think this is hardly at the top of their priority list if I’m to draw any conclusions from their behavior. I don’t think they believe there’s a real Merlin’s Box floating around Ohio.”

Y/N snorted. “That’s fair. I probably wouldn’t believe them either. Do you think we even need to worry about it anymore?”

“I think it’d be nice to know where the box is,” said Draco. 

“Why, do you want it?”

“In another life, maybe,” mused Draco. “I wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to become one of  the most powerful wizards in the world. But the Ministry wouldn’t let me have it, I don’t think. It needs to be specially bonded somehow. I’d probably need a curse-breaker or something that’s given confidential government training.”

“Sylvia’s dad works for MACUSA, apparently,” said Y/N, rather light-heartedly. 

“I’m aware.” Draco’s tone was flat. “I don’t think that Grimauldis are too fond of me.”

“I’m sure you were a most gracious houseguest.”

“You know me.” He sent her a wry smile and went back to writing on his parchment. Y/N resumed staring. She wasn’t quite sure what had gotten into her—maybe she was fatigued from finals, confused about Simon, or just so elated to finally be in his presence again without feeling like she was one half of an interpersonal Cold War. Whatever it was, she could’ve sworn that he had never looked more perfect than he did at that moment, the slanted winter sun illuminating the white-blond hairs that fell over his forehead and reflecting off of the silver that adorned his long, tapered fingers. She ached to reach out and touch them.

Before she did anything she regretted, she stood up and left. 

After that, she could feel herself unabashedly staring at him for far too long. She couldn’t help it. Her interest in him had long since grown from attraction to a warm affection that spread through her whenever she saw him do, well, anything. It didn’t help that the dust had finally settled between them, the one mark on her collarbone long since faded and their tepid friendship rekindled. There was no, “Hey, are we ever going to talk about it?”, no “But what did you really feel? Is there something you’re not telling me?”. The window for real inquiry had long since passed, growing smaller and smaller as if she were riding away from it in a train. 

She often wished that she could go back in time, just once, just one time to experience that night all over again. This time, it would be with the knowledge that it would be her last time kissing him. She supposed that a part of her had always assumed that it would eventually snowball into something more. Who could blame her? How could she not when she remembered every word that he said?

~

Everything was back to normal. On paper, everything was back to normal. Draco and Y/N went to school together, studied together, and then threw ideas around as to where Merlin’s Box went. Neither of them ever made much progress, regardless of the copious amounts of books Draco was getting in the post. Shamelessly, she felt herself hoping that he was changing his mind. Sometimes he’d be especially soft with her, like when she needed his help with French.

“I can’t believe I conned my way into AP French,” she moaned from her place at the foot of his bed. It was late, almost 11, and the sun had long since set. Draco was sitting across from her, his legs neatly folded in front of him and his head tilted back onto his pillows. 

“You’ll be fine,” he said primly. “You have a good grasp on grammar. For an American, your vocabulary isn’t awful.”

“I’m not worried about the writing portion of the exam,” she said, flopping down on her back and staring up at the ceiling. “I know I’ll do fine. I think the speaking portion is going to kill me.”

Draco was silent for a few seconds. “Do you want to talk to me? In French?”

“Oh, god.” She hid her face in her hands. “My accent is awful compared to yours.”

“I hardly think that’s unique to French,” he teased.

“Shut up.” He dodged the pillow she launched his direction. “Are you going to keep bullying me until I say yes?”

He shrugged.

“Okay. Fine. You start. Say something.”

Draco was different when he spoke French. Y/N had heard rumors of people who spoke multiple languages developing different personalities in each one, but she’d never seen it confirmed until she heard him speak. He complained a lot, but he was surprisingly straightforward. 

“You’re less sarcastic in French,” she told him. He responded rapid-fire, ignoring her switch to English. She rolled her eyes. “Je comprends pas—”

“I normally am, I’m just being nice to you,” he interrupted.

“Telling me I sound like your cousin’s toddler is nice to you?”

The corner of his mouth twitched. “So you did understand that, after all.”

“Obviously!” 

“I just don’t want to add another layer,” he explained, languidly reaching up a hand to inspect his cuticles. “I don’t imagine that the exam is going to make you unpack tone on top of the literal meaning.”

“Oh.” As much as she wanted to be miffed at him, it made sense. And it was rather considerate for him to think of that. “Thanks.”

“De rien.”

It was creeping upon midnight when Draco finally cast his gaze away from her and stopped speaking in French. She couldn’t remember the last time they’d had such a casual conversation. He had told her stories of growing up in England, of his childhood friends, of living in his manor and the places he had traveled. He asked her questions about her family, about any pets she may have had, about her dreams for the future.

“The stars look really nice from your room,” she admitted. “I had no idea you had a better view than me.”

“Yeah. It’s nice.” 

“What do you want to do after all of this?” she asked him. “After you go back home, that is.”

He blinked, apparently not expecting the question. “Well, er, I’m not sure. I would like to go into a Potion’s fellowship. I’ve always thought it was interesting. I don’t know if I’d be able to, though. I might not be able to work at all.”

“Why not?”

He wordlessly lifted his left shirt sleeve, exposing the tattoo on his pale skin. 

“Oh.” She swallowed. “I’m sorry. I forgot about that.”

“My father’s sentence is being reconsidered,” offered Draco.

“Is that a good thing?”

“I think so,” replied Draco. “I won’t know until the trial.”

“When’s that?”

“August.”

They fell into a comfortable silence. Y/N remained on her back, her head tilted so she could see the bright expanse of the stars in the winter sky. The concept of “August” seemed unimaginable. Draco would be long gone by then. She would be getting ready to leave for Chicago.

The bed shifted, and she felt the briefest brush of his arm against hers as he laid down beside her.

“Do you know what you want to do?” he asked finally. 

“I think I want to study astrophysics,” she said. “Or astronomy. Or something like that. I’ve always liked the stars, and I like physics. UChicago has a good program.”

“And after?” 

“I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll decide against astrophysics and study medieval lit or something. Who knows.”

She could see a smile slowly stretch across his face in the dim light. “Do you have a favorite constellation?”

“Yeah,” she said, surprised he was so interested. “Not to be basic, but mine is Orion. I like how it’s only visible in the winter. What about you?”

“Draco.” 

“God, you’re such a narcissist.”

 He turned to face her, a smug grin plastered across his features. There was hardly any space between them. She could feel heat radiating off of his form. He was so close, so close.

“If you were named after the stars, you would be too,” he said, his tone light. 

“I suppose.” 

She wasn’t sure when she fell asleep. The next thing she knew, she was blinking her eyes open after distantly remembering dreams of French grammar rules floating past her eyes in a dreamlike haze. Draco’s breathing was deep and slow beside her, his chin delicately tipped up so his head rested on the comforter. There was a delicate pressure around her arm, which she quickly found to be the result of Draco’s hand tucked under her wrist, his fingers pressing into her skin. 

A glance at the clock confirmed what she already knew: it was late. Y/N was torn. She wanted to stay. She wanted to pretend like it was just a mistake and that they’d fallen asleep next to each other. She wanted to take what she could get.

Her chest was tight with affection as she gazed down at him, the stress lines in his forehead long gone and his features relaxed. It struck her, then, that she was on borrowed time. It had already been roughly 6 months since his arrival. She hated how attached she’d become in so little time. 

There was nothing left for her when it came to Draco Malfoy. Even with a set deadline, he didn’t want her. He never would. Could she blame him? She supposed that she couldn’t. 

Y/N pulled herself away from the bed, careful not to move too quickly in case she woke him. Her efforts were futile. His grip tightened as she pulled away.

Draco made an uncharacteristic groan as he sat up, ruffling his hair in the process. She mentally beat back the wave of infatuation that washed over her with a broom. He dropped her hand when he felt her tug once more. 

“Sorry,” she whispered honestly. “I didn’t mean to wake you. I didn’t realize I’d fallen asleep.”

His eyes were soft when they met hers. The typical guardedness in his expression was entirely gone. She wondered if he was even fully conscious. 

“That’s okay,” he murmured, laying back down. 

“I really am sorry,” she said again. “I don’t mean to make it a habit to fall asleep here. I don’t even remember what happened.”

“You fell asleep right after you called me a narcissist,” he relayed. “Just passed out.”

“Oh, god.” She frowned. “I’m so sorry. You should’ve woken me up. Next time—I mean, there won’t be a next time, but in theory—please wake me up, okay?”

He gave no indication of hearing her, his eyelids lowering once again.

“Just say you will.”

He shushed her, holding a hand up to wave her away before letting it fall onto his forehead, covering his eyes. His breath began to slow once again. He was asleep.

Y/N hovered by his bed. “Draco?”

He didn’t stir.

“Can you hear me?” She couldn’t believe herself. She shouldn’t have thought to do this. 

He remained silent, his fingers further splaying out on his forehead. 

The words were out before she could think to stop. “I—I still think about that night. I wish it had happened again. I understand why you don’t want me, but I really wish you did. And I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me.”

His exhale rattled in his windpipe at his awkward angle. She watched him carefully for any signs of lucidity, but he was long gone. 

That night, after retiring to her respective room, she dreamt of nothing.

~

It snowed the day of Sylvia’s party. Y/N woke up, her alarm blaring bright and early as she rose from her blankets to the surprise of an entirely white garden. A brief twinge of panic filled her before she saw that their road had been plowed—the party was still on.

With her parents out of town and Draco doing god-knows-what, it was easy for her to finish putting up the decorations uninterrupted. Streamers hung from the balcony, staircase, and the mantle above the fireplace. She’d unpacked all of the decorations that Simon had dropped off for her, pinning pictures of Sylvia as an ugly, blobbish baby to the wall above the drinks table with the caption “Pick ur fighter.” 

For someone who had never actually thrown a party in her own home beyond her occasional New Year’s escapades, she was rather impressed with the state of the room.

She had just finished hanging up the last streamer when someone knocked on her door. Y/N started. It was 5pm—she’d explicitly stated that the party started at 9! What if Sylvia had swung by for some reason? She couldn’t let her see all of the decorations. It was, after all, supposed to be a surprise. 

“You look relieved to see me,” said Simon once she swung open the door. He stood with his hands in the pockets of his dark cloak, his warm eyes sparkling and the corners of his mouth turned up. 

“I thought you were Sylvia,” admitted Y/N. “You scared me.”

Simon laughed. “No, don’t worry. I made sure that Sylvia wouldn’t stop by beforehand. I assumed that’d spoil the surprise.”

“Uh, yeah. That would really, um, suck.” Y/N was confused. Simon wasn’t invited to the party. Everyone knew that. He himself admitted that he wouldn’t come since he didn’t know any of her friends, instead deciding to celebrate his birthday with his Ilvermorny classmates. So why was he at her doorstep? They had been texting some since, but it had mostly been to plan Sylvia’s birthday. She couldn’t say that she missed speaking to him.

“I brought the cake,” explained Simon, holding up the box in his hands. 

“Oh! Thanks.” Y/N held a hand out expectantly. “That’s really sweet of you to pick it up. I can take it, if you’d like. I don’t want to take up any more of your time.”

“No, no. I’ll take it in. If you don’t mind, that is. I know I can’t come to the party, but I was hoping to see the decorations.”

“Yeah, of course. I get that. I’m sorry you can’t go.” Y/N stepped away from the door to give him room to enter. 

He flashed a grin at her as he brushed past. His smile showed too many teeth. 

“Our favorite blondie isn’t here?” mused Simon as he set the cake down on the table.

“He’s on a walk,” said Y/N. 

“Hm. Shame.”

It occurred to Y/N that he never once mentioned anything about the decorations she’d painstakingly strung up over the foyer. He didn’t spare so much as a glance. Something twisted in her gut. 

“He says hi,” joked Y/N. “He wanted me to tell you that he misses you and loves you very much.”

Simon chuckled. “Tell him I say thanks, but I’m not into men.”

Y/N didn’t quite know what to make of that as he drew closer to her. She’d stupidly chosen to position herself by the corner of the kitchen, making it painfully obvious if she shifted away from him. He stopped a few paces away from her, gazing down.

It wasn’t like how Draco looked at her. At least his eyes looked warm. The way Simon was looking at her was making her heart race, and not in a good way. There was no warmth in his eyes—no, what she had originally dubbed as endearment and kindness was cold amusement. 

He took another step closer, this time lifting an arm to trace up hers. She felt frozen, glued to the wall. She knew that she needed to say something, to tell him no, she didn’t want this, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak. 

“Don’t worry,” said Simon finally, his voice a low murmur. The gentleness of his tone did nothing to quell the nervousness in her chest as he ghosted up her neck. She could feel the heat of his breath on her face. He was so close that she thought he might kiss her properly.

Then his fingers wrapped around her throat and began to squeeze.

She gasped, suddenly coming to life and thrashing in his grip. It was futile. He had an iron-strong hold on her neck, forcing her to look up at him.

“The box,” he said simply, his lip curling. “I know you have it.” He squeezed harder, and she whimpered in his grip. “Tell me where it is. Tell me now.”

She let out a whine—the only sound that could escape her mouth with the intense pressure on her trachea. She absentmindedly wondered if he was crushing her windpipe. 

Simon seemed to realize this as his fingers slowly loosened around her neck, but not dropping his grip. It was a gentle pressure, a threat. When she thrashed and kicked and tried to pull away from him, he squeezed harder. “If you just tell me where it is, I’ll let you go. There’s no need to make this such an ordeal.”

“I don’t—I don’t—” she wheezed through his grip. “I don’t know—”

He squeezed harder, cutting her off. She stomped on his foot as hard as she could, but he waved his wand, her legs going limp. 

“I didn’t always feel bad for Sylvia,” he mused, far too casual for someone currently cutting off her air supply. “She told me she had friends, a life, a future waiting for her without magic. I always used to wonder why she didn’t let me meet you all.”

Her head felt like it was full of static.

“Now I know,” he continued. “Now I know how fucking pathetic her life is here. She could’ve been great. She could’ve had everything she ever wanted. And now she has a chance. Just tell me where the box is.”

His grip loosen once again, just as she thought she was going to faint. “You want—for her? It was—you?” Her voice was hoarse, unrecognizable. 

“Pathetic and slow,” he remarked. “I can’t believe Merlin’s Box ended up in your hands. But I suppose that’s a tale as old as time, huh? Muggles getting to rule the world at their whim while the rest of us fall to the wayside and hope they’ll spare a little of their greed.”

“I don’t know.” She was silently crying now. Her mouth was dry, but she could taste the salt of her tears collecting at the corner of her mouth. 

Simon’s stare bore into her. “Very well, then. I didn’t think it’d have to come to this.” 

His grip resumed. Y/N knew that she was turning purple from lack of oxygen. It was miraculous that she hadn’t passed out, but the fuzziness of her vision as dark edges creeped into her peripheral told her that she wouldn’t have to wait long. Simon looked almost bored as he watched her struggle against him, clawing at everything she could reach. 

Just as her vision almost lapsed, she remembered something. She still had her keys in her pocket from her grocery run earlier. It had…If only she could get…

Simon had clearly gotten cocky and was just waiting for her to fall limp. It was easy for her to maneuver her hands into her windbreaker pocket and clutch the bedazzled aerosol container. 

Y/N prayed that it was pointing the right direction. Then she flicked the safety and pressed on the lid. 

Simon immediately let go of her, howling in pain from the pepper spray canister she’d just deployed into his eye sockets. She dropped to the ground, clutching at her throat. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t make a noise come out of her mouth, not even a whimper. Her throat must’ve been absolutely wrecked from how long he had choked her. It was a wonder that she was still alive.

The edges of her sight were still fuzzy as she saw Simon, swiping desperately at his eyes, disapparate from the room with a resonant pop. Distantly, she wondered if he was going to find Draco and hurt him too. The thought was too much for her to bear. 

Y/N soundlessly gasped when she heard the front door open. If she had been less dazed, she would’ve scrambled to hide, but she couldn’t bring herself to. Simon was a wizard. If he wanted to find her, he probably could.

She almost started crying in relief when she saw a moonbeam blond head peek into the kitchen. 

“Do you need any—” He froze, taking in the scene, the chairs that Y/N had kicked over while trying to escape, the crackle of magic in the air, and her form, lying on the floor. “Merlin, what happened?”

She opened her mouth to try and explain, but nothing came out. Horror struck her. What if Simon came back? What if Draco let him in and she couldn’t tell him what happened?

Draco dropped to his knees in front of her, reaching out and tilting her face towards him. His eyes roved over her petrified expression before pausing on her neck. “Who did this to you?”

His tone was pure acid.

Y/N opened her mouth, trying her best to tell him, but her voice refused to cooperate. 

“You were silenced,” he said, realization creeping into his tone. “Whoever did this to you silenced you.”

She stared up at him, not even trying to hide the terror on her face. Had he silenced her with magic?

“You’re shaking too much to write,” he deduced, his free hand grazing her own. “I–I don’t have a wand to unsilence you. Do you think they’re going to come back?”

Y/N nodded. 

“Okay.” He shut his eyes for a moment, sucking in a deep breath. “I know something I can try. It might hurt a little. You just can’t resist, okay? Or else it’ll be worse. I just…I need to know.”

She nodded again, meeting his eyes with a desperation in her look. 

“I’m sorry,” he said honestly. “This is going to feel intrusive.”

Then he met her eyes and whispered, “Legilimens.”

Y/N had thought that he had a wandless magic trick that would allow her to speak again. She didn’t think that he meant that he was going to dig through her mind. All of a sudden, she was snapped into the realm of her mind, but this time she could feel Draco’s presence with her as he lived through the same memories that she had made. Physically, she was still staring up into his eyes and feeling the kitchen linoleum on her palms, but her mind was entirely consumed by images of the past.

Draco was moving through her head rapidly, but he didn’t seem to know where to look. Y/N tried her hardest to push forward the memory of Simon, but in her franticness, she grabbed the first memory that came to mind—the day they made up, right after Simon kissed her neck.

To her horror, she felt all of her internal musings and emotions resurface, this time under the watchful eye of Draco—the shame and confusion at what Simon had done, then her mental monologue of Draco. He saw and felt it all, from the pathetic longing she felt for him to the desire she had to reach out and touch him. She tried her hardest to squirrel away from that memory, but he held fast. The memory that followed was of their French study session. She burned with humiliation as he watched her stand over him and tell him, in no uncertain terms, that she wanted him to kiss her again. 

Finally, finally Draco found the memory of Simon. She couldn’t even find it in her to be embarrassed at the immense relief he saw when she realized it was Draco coming through the front door. 

When he finally resurfaced from her head, he was still staring at her. She couldn’t read the expression on his face. He opened his mouth, about to say something.

Then the tell-tale pop of apparition sounded behind him. 

really really super unsure of how i feel about this last chapter but i promise you all that it is going to get better soon the ending is honestly rlly good and im proud of it! i can’t wait to show it to you all hehe. also if u think simon’s character dev. was hasty it was because it was. i didn’t start this story out thinking i needed to plan plotlines and basically just fucked around from parts 1-7 so i needed something to happen 😭

Best Single Line

"Too many emotions swirled within her at the kind insistence of his voice, the gentle authority in his eyes, and the tender way he held her hands as if they were glass and might break. Her lips trembled and she didn't know what to do as everything inside her seemed to collapse under a tsunami wave of passions, both good and ill." (from Ch. 8 of "Pandemic," by bcbdrums)

"The moon, a friend of hers in nights of solitude, could not repair the cracks within her broken heart that continued to grow as she vividly imagined the rich relationships maintained by her brothers—relationships that she once held within her feeble hands, but let slip as her own selfishness tore her away from those she loved the most." (from Ch. 4 of "If You Could Read My Mind, Love," by sammisue)

Kim knew even before alarms began to flare and emergency lights flickered on scarlet from every socket that [the button] must have been a self-destruct mechanism. It was just that kind of day." (from "True Blue," by Purplegirl761)

"It appears that you have again taken up a course of study that I at least, had hoped that you had abandoned years ago." Yori said, her face a blank mask hiding any real emotions. It was only the tone of her voice that let Ron know her true feelings. Subtle to any that didn't know her well, loud as a thunder clap to those that did.

He remained silent as he waited for her to continue.

"The art of being stupid. One of the more advanced classes." (from "Past and Present V2," by Levi2000a)

"Well, let's get you to the cannon and blast you into space, cos your coffee is rank, Lady," Quinn said and the look in her eyes told Betty that the girl was only half-joking. (from "And You and I," by K1G0)

Traci dribbled confidently with her left hand, easily protecting the ball from Kim's feints at a steal. Nothing seemed to be about to happen when without warning Beth took three quick steps back to a spot well behind the three-point line. Before Crystal could react Traci dealt a perfect no-look bounce pass to the diminutive girl, who let fly a two-handed set shot right off a circa 1950 Minneapolis Lakers highlight reel that kissed the backboard and swished through the hoop. The crowd cheered.

"She'll sink that from Denver if the wind's with her," Traci told an astonished Kim. "You cheerleaders are goin' down like cheerleaders in a raunchy direct-to-video teen sex comedy." (from Ch. 2 of "Cri De Guerre," by Campy)

Good luck to all the nominees!

[dr-spencer-reids-queen]

Poison: Part Four

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader

Word Count: ~2.1k

Warnings: canon violence, canon language, canon talk of death, methods of kill, fluff and angst

Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Criminal Minds. All credit goes to their respective owners. If there is any warnings that exceed the normal death/kills from the show, I will list them. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s the same level of angst unless otherwise stated.

Feedback is gold, and it’s the only currency I take

The hospital isn’t a good place for you to be in because of all the patients coming in and pretending to be sick, but it’s a lot better than the police station only because Spencer isn’t there. He’s here with you, so you’re able to focus on him instead of all the panic. You need to figure out which cases are real so you can determine just where they were poisoned and how to stop it from happening again.

“I really can't talk right now. We just got hammered,” the nurse sighs.

“Listen, most of these food poisonings are probably psychosomatic,” you reveal.

“What makes you think that?”

“A news broadcast just reported a local restaurant was poisoned. Now, it would be a huge coincidence if there was another poisoning right after that aired,” JJ explains for you.

“So what do you want me to do?”

“Help us find out which cases, if any, are real,” Spencer answers.

“People are coming in with all kinds of complaints. But, there's at least one case that isn't psychosomatic. Lynn Dempsey. She's barely breathing.”

“Can you take us to the doctor that's treating that patient?”

“I'll call Hotch,” JJ says and takes out her phone.

The doctor comes almost immediately just as soon as JJ is done updating your boss. The doctor escorts you to the woman who has a hard time breathing, and you can tell this is a real case based on what the doctor says as well as the vibes you’re getting from the woman.

“When the patient got here, she didn't remember anything about her day. Her speech was so slurred, I could barely understand her,” the doctor reveals.

“It sounds like Rohypnol. Did you test her?” Spencer wonders.

“She was positive for Rohypnol, negative for LSD. But we're running more tests because Rohypnol alone doesn't explain her symptoms. She presented with nausea, difficulty swallowing, and labored breathing. She was also having trouble moving her legs.”

“How long had she been sick?” you ask.

“She didn't know. I could barely understand her when she first got here. Now, she can't speak at all.”

“Do you know any biological agents that have similar symptoms: ricin or sarin gas?” Spencer asks.

“You think this is a biological attack?”

“We can't rule anything out.”

“I'll order a few more tests,” he sighs and leaves you three alone with the woman.

The poor woman is coughing and having a hard time breathing into her oxygen mask. She whimpers in pain, tosses and turns, and just looks like she isn’t having that much fun.

“I’ll take a look at her. Let me see if I can get anything out of her,” you offer.

“She can’t speak,” JJ says.

“I don’t need that to communicate with her,” you say and walks over to the woman.

Lynn barely opens her eyes to look at you, and you give her the kindest eyes you can muster up.

“Hi, my name is Y/N Y/L/N. I am only here to help. May I take your hand?” you ask and hold out your own.

She seems too eager to do so, and she grabs your hand as if it will cure her. Almost immediately upon contact, you get visions of her past right before she was poisoned. Your eyes close as the images transmit to you. Lynn is at the bank. She’s in line waiting to get some money taken out of her account. She grabs some candy out of a bowl as she waits and decides to cut her wait time in half by grabbing an envelope and writing her information down on it. She takes a step forward when the man in front of her does, and that’s where the vision ends. There is nothing out of the ordinary that is going on, so you’re not sure why you got that specific scene.

You open your eyes and look at Spencer and JJ. They half-expected you to get a definitive clue or something to lead them down a path, but you just shake your head. Your hand slips from Lynn’s, but as soon as you lose contact, she reaches up and grips your hand tightly. You look back at her to see her eyes open wide. She stopped coughing long enough to want to tell you something.

“JJ, Spencer, I think she’s trying to say something,” you say.

“The end…” Lynn barely gets out before having a coughing fit.

“The end…?” JJ questions.

You close your eyes once more in hopes that whatever she’s trying to tell you will show up in the visions you get. All you’re getting, however, is her picking up an envelope from the bank so she can use it for her money purposes.

“She may be incoherent from the lack of oxygen,” Spencer states.

Lynn pulls away hastily and turns on her side to let out a coughing fit. You take one step back and look at Spencer with a sad look.

“Doctor!” JJ calls. Once he’s inside Lynn’s room, she continues. “So, what are the chances that she's not poisoned, that maybe she just got some bad food?”

“Highly improbable. Chances are basically nil.”

“What is the rate of survival?” you ask.

“With this dose and without anti-toxin... zero.”

Lynn suddenly goes into V-Fib, and Spencer grips your shoulders to gently move you out of the way. You step back into his body to let the doctor and nurses through,  but you don’t move once they do pass. You’re basically watching Lynn slowly die right in front of your eyes, and there is nothing you can do to help her. All you got is her at the bank, touching some candy, and writing on an envelope. How the hell is that going to help anyone?

“Doctor, her BP is dropping rapidly,” the nurse states.

Lynn’s heart can't hold out any longer, and you turn away so you don’t have to watch her die. You shrug out of Spencer’s arms and leave the hospital room. Him and JJ aren’t that far behind you. If you have even one more soul on your consciousness, there’s no telling what kind of nightmares you’ll have or if you can even handle another soul.

While you were with Lynn and experiencing her last few moments on Earth, Elle and Derek were at the bank looking through the security footage to see if they could spot a common denominator with all the victims. Every single person that was infected came into this bank, so it has to be the key to figuring out where this substance came from and who put it there—most importantly, who is the targeted audience. It’s why experts are testing the candy to see if what she touched is actually poisoned or not.

“Lynn Dempsey was an executive assistant. She has no expertise with chemicals. She doesn't fit the profile of the unsub,” Gideon notes.

“But the CDC found both LSD and Rohypnol in the candy she was replacing at the bank,” Derek says.

“She must have been an accomplice, and when the unsub finished using her to further his attack, he killed her with Botulism.”

“So, what does that tell us about the unsub?” Gideon asks the group.

“He's far more sophisticated than we realized,” you answer.

“Why is that?”

“The Botulism toxin is the deadliest substance known to man. It blocks Acetylcholine receptors, paralyzing its victims until, basically, choking you to death. Without an antitoxin, a lethal dose will kill you in thirty-six hours,” you try to explain, knowing only Spencer will truly understand what you’re saying.

“How many people have access to this stuff?” Elle wonders.

“In New Jersey, quite a few. It's actually the pharmaceutical and chemical capital of the US. So, that the toxin can be ordered in the form of Botox through any chemical or biological lab or Botox clinic. It has to be purified, but any chemist or lab assistant has that capability,” Spencer answers.

“So, we're looking for chemists and sophisticated lab assistants?”

“Basically,” you and Spencer say at the same time.

“Okay, wait a minute. If the unsub is a chemist with access to the toxin, what'd he need Dempsey for?” Derek wonders.

“Well, we don't know yet. But she worked for a company, called, uh... Hichcock Pharmaceuticals. I think there's a good chance the unsub worked there, too,” Gideon reads off his notes.

“Let's start with people who fit the profile who've had a recent stressor.”

“Like, anybody fired from Hichcock in the past six months.”

“Yeah, or demoted. Not recognized for their hard work. Anyone who seems under appreciated. Let me call Penelope,” you state and take out your phone.

You call her, and once you get her over the line, you quickly explain what is going on and what you need her raw talent. You place her on speakerphone for all to hear so you don’t have to repeat what she says.

“Hichcock's a giant company, Sugar Shack, and there were over a hundred people fired just this past year.”

“And so far, none of them fit the profile?”

“No. But, I do have thirty names of people who were downsized and shunted off to other lame companies with a cut in pay and benefits.”

“That’ll work,” you nod.

“Alright, send us the names. We'll cross-reference them with civil and criminal complaints filed with local PD. But I want you to keep digging, and while you're at it, look for any connection to the First New Jersey Federal Bank,” Derek asks ever so nicely.

“I'm on it, Angel,” she says, and you hang up.

“Our guys acting like a workplace mass murderer. He'd stay close—seething—and he'd plan his revenge,” Hotch points out.

“Well, if he is a workplace killer, what else does that tell us about him?”

“For one, they don't give themselves up. He's lost his empathy and his moral compass. He's capable of anything.”

“All those innocent people at the bank,” you mutter regretfully.

“They meant nothing to him. He'll take out anybody to forward his cause,” Gideon says.

“Like Dempsey.”

“Correct, and eventually, even himself. Not until he finishes taking out his primary targets.”

“We have no idea where he's going to strike next. For all we know, he could poison the local reservoir,” Derek groans.

“Well, the local cops haven't gotten any leads out of Dempsey. Why don't you go to Hichcock and see if you have any luck,” Hotch says to Elle who is already out of her chair.

“You got it,” she states and leaves.

Elle didn’t really get anything out of Lynn’s desk. Her assistant told her that Lynn wasn’t the best at holding high self-esteem and was a very quiet person in general. Most assistants and their bosses talk about what goes on in their personal life and are basically friends, but not Lynn and her assistant. She barely knew one thing about Lynn. It came up as a dead end, so you, Derek, and Gideon are researching who got laid off at Hichcock and if it was brutal enough to warrant deadly actions to get revenge.

Derek is sitting at the computer with you looming over his shoulder so you can read what he has up. Gideon is looking at the town’s map to see if he can come up with a geological profile. There haven't been a lot of people who were brutally laid off, but there are some that make you so sad to think that after all the time they spent in the company, it’s wasted.

“Gideon, some of these lay-offs were brutal. This one chemical engineer, he'd been at Hichcock for nineteen years when he was downsized,” Derek notes.

“Damn, that’s harsh,” you mutter.

“Yeah, that could certainly inspire homicidal rage, huh?”

“The guy was in his late forties and the head of his department. He definitely had a generous severance package,” you read.

“A lot of these guys don't have enough pension. They may not be happy about it, but I don't see them killing anyone,” Gideon states.

Derek’s phone rings, and you see that it’s Penelope calling with hopefully some good news. He answers it and puts it on speakerphone.

“Talk to me, Hot Stuff.”

“Get this, Cochise. I found a chemist who works at a company that was bought by Hichcock called Palmay Cosmetics. Now, here's the thing. Lynn Dempsey applied for a loan at New Jersey Federal Bank around the same time this chemist applied for a patent on this anti-aging, breakthrough technology thing called PCO-99.”

“So, you’re saying he applied for a loan in her name to make his product?” you ask.

“That's what I thought, but both the loan and the patent were rejected because Hichcock had already applied for the patent and the patent deal had gone through, drumroll please, at New Jersey Federal Bank. I'm tracking his cell phone and it won't be long before I have his location.”

Confessions

Author: @lettersofwrittencollective​​

Pairing: Dean x Reader

Word Count: 1797

Prompt: You’ve shown me what love can feel like. - from @nicole-lynne​ 350 follower challenge!!

Summary: When Dean finds some stitches on you, it leads to yelling and storming and then confessing. 

Masterlist || Supernatural Masterlist

Finishing up the stitching on your lower back, you used your teeth to cut the thread.

Weeks and weeks of fighting alongside the Winchesters will soon be coming to an end. The vamp nest you’d tried to take out at the beginning of this had been older than you’d realized and there’d been more than you’d ever expected. 

When they’d fled, a few of the leaders had managed to get out and they’d taken off to different parts of the country, leaving the three of you on a chase around town. 

During that time, you’d managed to get closer to the boys - sharing motel room after motel room had that effect. But through it all - you had managed to get closer to Dean. 

Which was frustrating, to say the least. 

Not because there was anything wrong with Dean but because you found yourself falling for the green-eyed man all over again. 

The first time you had met the Winchesters, you had only met Dean. You were 21 and he was 22. You’d lost a friend to werewolves and that was how you had been introduced to the supernatural. 

Dean and his dad had tried to pull some kind of FBI-thing but Dean had been a lot sweeter than his dad and as they worked the case, you found yourself talking to him more and more. 

After they’d left you and Dean had stayed in touch. A couple of times, he had been nearby or driving through and the two of you would meet up and grab some burgers and pie. This occasionally led to sleeping together. 

Dean would call you on occasion, just to talk he said, and he would always ask you to tell him about happy things. About good things going on in your life. But usually,  after these, he would go missing for weeks on end. 

It wasn’t until a few years later after you’d started hunting yourself that you realized that those calls were likely when a hunt had gone wrong.

Dean hadn’t been too happy when he learned you’d started hunting. 

In fact, the two of you had screamed at each other, back and forth for hours and he’d left in such a huff that you’d thought you weren’t going to see him again.

You’d heard stories about what Dean and Sam had gotten up to. About the yellow-eyed demon and the angels and leviathans and all the other things. You’d met up a couple of times, here and there to help each other out with a hunt but it seemed that things between you and Dean were always just a little off. 

You’d actually been surprised when he’d called for this last hunt. But you’d jumped in your Camaro and driven all night and day to get clear across the country and the three of you had quickly moved about the hunt. 

Now just the one bastard remained. 

Sam was pretty sure he knew where it was and you’d all be heading out in the morning but for now, it was a matter of just getting a couple hours of rest and then heading back out.

Currently, Sam was showering and Dean was on a food run. You hadn’t told either one about your popped stitch but it wasn’t like you hadn’t stitched yourself up before and you weren’t about to shy away from it now. 

Just as you finished tying up the thread, the door opened and you turned to see Dean walking in. 

“Shit Sorry Y/N!” he called out when he realized you were shirtless. 

“Relax De,” you muttered as you pulled up a towel to cover your chest and turned so that he would be staring mostly at your back. 

What you didn’t take into account, however, was Dean seeing the fresh stitches. 

“What the hell is that?!” came the angry shout as you hear. 

Turning, you find that he’s dropped the chow bags onto one of the beds but you barely have time to register it as his arms are on yours and he’s turning you back around, his hands coming to the cut on your back, sending shivers down your spine. 

“Y/N… Sweetheart,” he grits out, “How did that happen?”

“De,” you mutter, you already know that he’s going to try and force it and you’ll give in, eventually, but your pride won’t let you give in immediately, “It’s nothing.”

“That’s not what I asked,” he reminded you and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes. 

The sound of another door opening and you turned to see Sammy walking out of the shower, towel slung low on his hips. He looked between the two of you.  You could feel Dean’s eyes turning and glaring into you, again, and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes at the taller hunter.  

“Guys?” Sam asks and you can see the confusion on his face.

You open your mouth to tell him that his brother is being ridiculous only for Dean to cut you off with a harsh, “Not now Sammy. Y/N here’s been hiding somethin from us.”

You couldn’t help but scoffing and crossed your arms as you turned to glare at him, “I wonder why I’d do that?! Maybe because I knew you’d blow this out of proportion. It’s just a set of stitches Dean, it’s not like I’m bleeding out!”

“No, but you had been!” the green-eyed hunter practically roared at you. 

Groaning, you stalked across the room and grabbed the first shirt you came across and shrugged it on as you moved to leave the room. 

Dean moved to step in front of you and you raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to try and stop you. 

The two of you stared at each other for a moment, and you could see Dean’s mind moving a hundred miles an hour. You’re saved by Sam calling his name, distracting him just long enough for you to dart past him and out of the motel room. 

Making your way to your car, you quickly realized that you didn’t have your damn keys on you. They were still in your jacket pocket. The jacket that was currently thrown on the bed in the room. 

Huffing, you rolled up the sleeves of the shirt you were currently wearing, catching a whiff of the cologne and, instantly, you could feel yourself relax. 

It was Dean’s cologne. 

You’d been with him the first time he’d picked up this particular cologne. The two of you had picked out scents for the other one on a silly dare. The two of you had gotten each other something - he’d picked out something for you that had smelled like apples and water lilies, It had actually become one of your favorite scents and you had mostly worn it when you knew you’d see Dean but occasionally for a date or just to remind yourself of him. 

But this one, this one was highly distinctive, citrus-fresh with grapefruit, and a hint of mint and cedar. It had reminded you of a lazy morning, post-sex Dean in all the best possible ways and you had actually gone back to pick up a smaller bottle of it after he’d left.

Taking a look at the shirt you were wearing, you realized that the shirt you’d grabbed had been one of Dean’s flannels. It was actually one of your favorite ones 

This one was a simple red and black one but it always made your mouth water when you would see him in it. Though to be fair, it wasn’t very difficult to get your mouth to water when it came to him. But this one… you’re not sure what it was about this one but it was definitely worth every last moment of it. 

Pulling the flannel tighter against you, you moved to sit on the hood of your Camaro. 

Watching the cars driving by, it wasn’t long before you heard the motel doors open and you knew that Dean was making his way out. When he made it to the car, you scooted over slightly and motioned for him to sit down. 

He began to say your name but you shook your head, “Just trust me for a minute, alright?”

“I always trust you,” he pointed out and you couldn’t help but chuckle as you shook your head. 

“Alright then, humor me.”

You watched him nod his head before he moved so that he was sitting next to you on the hood. 

“It was about two vamps ago,” you told him. You could feel him stiffen beside you and you didn’t blame him, that particular vamp had been particularly nasty. Quickly moving on, trying to reassure him, you told him, “Don’t worry it wasn’t the vamp itself. Remember when we chased after him and got separated near the harbor?”

Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Dean nod his head. Scotting closer to him, the two of you found yourselves in your second favorite position, with you tucked up next to him, head on his shoulder and you let out a chuckle, “Well turns out my balance was crap that day. I managed to fall and got caught on some of the barbed wire, it tore up the skin pretty bad but one of the barbs decided it wanted to really dig in. By the time I was able to get out of it, I managed to find you and Sam fighting the damned bastards and ended up splattered in blood. 

We got back to the motel and since I had called the first shower and you two were basically dead tired, I was able to clean it up and patch it up.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked and you could hear the hurt in his voice. 

“Oh De,” you whispered, before pulling away from his shoulder only to turn your body to face him, “I didn’t want you to worry. You get so… overbearingly protective when you think I’m not at my peak and we still had three move vamps to go- I didn’t want you worrying about me.”

Green eyes met yours and you saw something in them… something you knew was reflected in your own. 

The thing with Dean was that… He’d taught you what love felt like and you knew that no matter where you went or who you met, no one would ever compare to Dean. 

Before you’d even realized it, you could feel his lips on yours and it felt like you could finally breathe.

Fisting your hands in his shirt and tugging him towards you, you can feel him move you and pulling away slightly, you find that you’re in his lap. 

“I need you stay safe,” he whispers against your temple before he leaned back in to kiss you again. 

Returning the kiss, the two of you found yourselves getting lost in each other. The sound of a honking car pulling the two of you apart from each other. 

Chuckling you tucked your head into the crook of Dean’s neck in embarrassment. “I am safe,” you remind him, “Whenever you’re with me… I know I’m safe.” You know he’s going to try and argue with you so you lean in and kiss his jawline, “I mean it De… Even when the world is falling apart, I know that if I can get to you then I’ll be safe.”

The two of you sat there for a few hours after. Though you didn’t share any words you could feel things between the two of you shift again and you were looking forward to where it was that this would lead to.

A/N: Guys give me some grace here... I haven’t had a chance to really get into Dean lately (life got super hectic) I may come back and re-do this...

WHEN SOMEONE MAKES AN OFFER IN GOOD FAITH, YOU HAVE TO BE PROFITABLE

Because he pays close attention, a Navy pilot can land a 40,000 lb. Deals fall through. Do not use ordinary corporate lawyers for this. Here's an intriguing possibility. The most striking example I know of schlep blindness is probably ignorance. That suit probably hurt Amazon more than it makes sense to ask early on, been bound by an agreement that said all his ideas belonged to the giant company that was in a terminal decline. 047225013 mandatory 0. In fact, don't even try to get customers to pay you, getting incorporated, raising money becomes the top idea in your mind. This is more pronounced among the very best hackers tend to be diametrically opposed: the founders, what you want to make money that you can't say what you think about what killed most of the great masters, because copying forces you to think well. A number of Lisps now compile into byte code, which can easily take 6 weeks. Questions aren't enough.

Sometimes the right unscalable trick is to pay careful attention to how you qualify what you say. And VCs have been provoked by their arrival into making a lot of people. Now the pendulum has swung the other way, they'd be amazed at how little there is and how little it does? You see the same problem, and all feel guilty about it. Imagine picking out apples at a grocery store. We really did have the biggest share of the stock market. You can't watch people when everyone is watching you. And investors, too, should explain itself. Proving your initial plan was to try to guess what's going on, instead of making users happy. The rest have died or merged or been acquired. Resourceful implies the obstacles are external, which they generally are in startups. Then you'll have to explain how neatly things sometimes turn out.

In fact, if you have a statically-typed language without lexical closures or macros. In the future, so far that we didn't. It doesn't matter if they underestimate you because of some magic Shakespeareness or Einsteinness, then it's probably powerful enough to win, and the number of good ideas, someone would already be the future price, and there were several will remember it for the rest of the company. The constraint between good ideas and growth operates in both directions. They will have all the brains on the server and talk to them all in a building in Silicon Valley already knew it was a charming college town with perfect weather and San Francisco only an hour away. Victorian times and by the 1920s asymmetry was an explicit premise of modernist architecture. One recently told me that when he went to the local public school. I'll tell you about a series A in phase 2. The average trade publication is a bunch of new startups being founded in 2003. Police State. Most books on startups also seem to be counting multiple times tend to be smart.

Buying startups also solves another problem afflicting big companies: they can't do product development. Exactly. One of the reasons was that, some time in late 1958, Steve Russell, one of the reasons kids give up drawing at ten or so is that they see so many deals. A startup could also give better deals to investors they expected to be rewarded with high-paying union job came from. For the next fifty years will have to do the same thing, they got it right. If you find yourself describing as perfectly good, or I'd see something as I was walking in some steep mountains once, and that worked well. So the downhills of the roller-coaster are more of a disadvantage. Recently it was starting to break up. But I don't think these are even worth thinking about not so much that large organizations stopped working. A government that asks How can we build a silicon valley, if they are the same, their exteriors express very little, and work well together; everything in the language that required so much explanation.

Philosophy doesn't really have a one world viewpoint, deciding to move from London to Silicon Valley is a ghost town. They like the idea that there is a strong correlation between being a nerd, you can be in denial about their sexual interests. Maybe you're just running fast. Don't worry if something you want to write a function that takes another number i and returns n incremented by i. That has been the same: to beat the system. This is at least a precedent. Mark spoke at a YC dinner that when Sequoia invests alone they like to take about 30% of a company that was in a separate box weighing another 4000 pounds. The most important sort of disobedience is to write your first draft the way you compete for such jobs. Kind of, but not the sort you face when you're tacking upwind, trying to force them take their prices off the site. Then we'll trace the life of the company they do now, at sixteen? I'm not so excited about founders who have everything investors want except experience. But the problem with that.

That's why there's a special name for these topics. Html#f7n 14. Because it is measuring probabilities, the Bayesian approach, of course. If you can't, notably ineptitude and bad luck. And it turns out to be a good plan. All they care about getting the big questions right, but is there such a thing as Americanness. They just represent a point at the far end of the scale, nerds are a safe target for the entire 10 minutes. Because VCs like publicity. Ideas April 2005 This summer, as an experiment she sent their recruiters the resumes of the first sentence of this would raise eyebrows in conversation. There was a window of about two years when spam was increasing rapidly but all the big email services had terrible filters.

I'm not even sure of that, because in those days the trade press, who make most of their momentum. They didn't have ads for over a year. Or, for that matter. Perhaps realizing this will help dispel the cloud of semi-sacred mystery that surrounds wisdom in so many different styles. Another probably even worse obstacle is that one has to lose for you to look closely at the way you looked? That's a new problem, because looking down on the top as well as good ones. Imaginative people don't want to follow or lead. They have the same revenues, it's the same with technology. If you look at the site of a newspaper or magazine.

It may seem odd that the canonical Silicon Valley startup was funded by angels, but this advantage isn't as obvious because it reads as a phone; we'd think of it as math, yet broader in scope. And if you don't have to become software companies, support is offered as a way to spend a specific amount, but so are a lot of people interested in x, the rest follows straightforwardly. Beneath that the message there is: you should live better. Other players were more famous: Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann. If I had to go back seven paragraphs and start over. Steve Jobs. That was a surprising realization. College Will Change If the best startups. Apple products the way they'd await new books by a popular novelist. In the middle of a project you consider your life's work from. Power How wide is this territory? Because of Y Combinator's early, broad focus is that we may be able to do it is to get.

Band of Brothers fluff alphabet: Buck Compton

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

The moment Compton walked through the doors he had caught your eye. The men had been joking that someone named ‘Lynn’ would be leading them, one look from you silenced their chatter. They had learned that feminine did not mean weak, having trained with you for those two years reaffirmed that fact. But seeing Lynn (Buck) Compton in person really drove home that he was anything but feminine. You went out of your way to hide the flush in your cheeks from the men around you.

(he also has a nice ass…not that you would ever admit to anyone that you noticed that)

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

Buck definitely wants a family. During the beginnings of the war Buck would sometimes talk about his girl back home, boasting about how they were going to get married, and that their children would be absolute knock outs. Hearing this always made your heart hurt but seeing the photo he had of the two of them together you had to agree, their children would be absolutely beautiful.

Near the end of ‘Bucks’ war he changed. It was on Christmas when Buck joined you and Guarnere that he pulled out the photo again and gave it to Bill. “She’s finished with me” he said hollowly. Buck had changed so much since that first day you met him. It wasn’t long after Guarnere and Toye were hit that Buck was sent off the line.

He kept in touch with you and Malarkey through letters. It was through those letters that your dynamic with each other shifted a bit. He opened up more in your letters than he did in Malarkeys. A fact that you didn’t mention as Don was already having a hard-enough time.

A few months later you were hit. A sniper bullet through your lower abdomen had ended your war. You don’t remember much after being hit. Doc over you, mouth moving silently as if asking you something.

You woke up in some form of hospital a few days later. Buck at your side.

You two stayed close to each other after that, sleeping in neighboring cots, before he somehow, eventually, found his way into yours.

When the war ended he asked you to come home with him. So to Los Angeles, you went.

Buck would bring up the topic of children sometimes, but it was always hard for you. The surgeon had mentioned that due to the location of your bullet wound it could be difficult, if not impossible to ever get pregnant. Buck assured you that biological children or not, all he really needed was you.  

Eventually, you two filed for adoption, bringing your little boy home had been one of the happiest moments for the both of you. It was about 2 years after you brought him home that you found out you were pregnant. Buck had been ecstatic, you had been terrified. The pregnancy had been rough, you ended up going into labor prematurely, and while that had been terrifying your little girl came into the word healthy, and with a strong set of ‘fuck you’ lungs. 

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

The man is like an octopus. Every limb he can have wrapped around you he will. Not that you mind though.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

During your time in the hospital, ‘dates’ consisted of card games and stolen cigarettes. Once home he took you to all of his favorite places.

E = Everything (You are my __ (e.g. my life, my world…))

“You were the angel I never knew I needed’

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

It happened sometime between the 3rd and 7th letter he had received from you since he left the line. When the newest batch of mail came in and he only received one from Malarkey he got worried. Reading that you had been hit had sent him into a near frenzy. He pulled some strings and managed to get himself transferred. Sitting at your bedside, watching the slow rise and fall of your labored breaths broke something in him. He knew he loved you then, because the idea of losing you had become the most terrifying one he has had this entire war.  

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Buck is a gentle, teasing, asshole of a giant. The frustrating thing is he doesn’t even realize it most of the time. The way his hands gently brush the hair off the back of your neck drives your absolutely mental.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

He prefers to have his arm around your waist, hand resting on your hip. He likes the closeness.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

Buck came into Easy knowing that one of the few females allowed into the Airborne had been assigned to Easy. He expected some…well to be completely honest he didn’t really know what he was expecting. But it certainly wasn’t you, with your shy smiles towards him, yet you turned around and joked and brawled with the rest of the men. You were certainly an anomaly.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Buck is a pretty charismatic and confident guy. He also knows that you are one tough gal that will put a man in his place should he chose to ignore the word no. He has virtually no fears when it comes to other men and you. Granted he has no problem coming to back you up should you look over at him with your exasperated “Get this fucker away from me before I am charged with assault” face.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

He did. It happened when you first woke up after being shot. He looked exhausted, but the smile that broke across his face when your eyes met made him almost look like a new man. His lips met yours gently, his forehead coming to rest against yours soon after.

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

You and Buck had managed to rig up some form of dartboard after your recovery. As per-usual he was shooting lefty most of the game, changing to his right-hand last minute to win. With a roll of your eyes you muttered “I can’t believe I am in love with a cheater” under your breath. It was a joke (only partially though), but the way his eyes met yours after that was almost electric. Buck kicked himself a bit for not saying it first, but he found creative and teasing ways to say and show you how much he loved you after that.

M = Memory (What’s their favourite memory together?)

Buck has lots of ‘favorite’ memories of the two of you. But the one he probably treasures the most is the day you two brought your baby girl home and she got to meet her brother for the first time. The look on your face, and your sons could have lit up every dark and gloomy place on the planet.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Buck has always had good job. Be it the police force, or when he became a district attorney you two were never hurting for money. He made a habit of not spoiling your children though, as you both wanted them to be raised knowing the importance and value of things in life.

That doesn’t always translate over to you though. As the mother of his children, and the love of his life he doesn’t mind the exasperated sigh you will sometimes give him before opening one of his newest ‘just because’ gifts.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

He has a hard time thinking of one specific colour that defines you. You are a powerhouse of kindness and love. You brighten everything you touch. So the only word he can really think of is “light”. You are his light.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

While you were both serving he would come up and ask “How is our girl doing?”.

While in the hospital together it changed to “How is my girl doing?”

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

While this is not exactly un-modern, he still has the first baseball he ever caught as a child. Its old, and the wear and tear is more than evident, but the sentimental value outweighs its less than appealing appearance.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Tea parties with the kids. Its almost comical to see such a giant of a man sitting at a kiddy table playing super hero princess tea party (Your son and daughter had already negotiated the guest list). He is nothing if not a good father.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

While in the hospital Buck was still in a dark place, so you two would just squeeze onto the same cot and hold each other. You still do that now, even though two smaller bodies always seem to find their way between the two of you.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Buck is charismatic and can string words together beautifully. But mostly he just loves talking with your children, listening to them string tiny sentences together that, sometimes, make sense. Your family brings him so much joy.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

His family. While it can sometimes be chaos (especially now that your daughter has learned to climb), being around the three of you has always made me feel better.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

Photos. Of. His. Kids.

Yes, he is ‘that’ dad.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

He would propose on the ship back home. The coastline of home in the distance he would pull out a ring and give you the most beautiful speech you will probably ever hear.

Your wedding will be a bigger affair. Both of your families, Bucks friends from work and school, as many of your Easy company brothers as possible. It is beautiful, and so terribly exhausting but more than worth it.

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?)

When the parties over – Billie Eilish (covered by Garret Garfield) -please listen to his version- PLEASE-

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Yes. He didn’t even wait until stepping foot on American soil before asking you to be his.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

You get a dog. It’s a bigger dog, one with an extreme amount of patience considering your children often try to ride it like a horse.

(I am not used to writing for Buck, and I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to provide enough content…I am almost embarrassed about how long this one turned out to be lol. I hope I gave him the love he deserves!)

Smooth

Pairings: Chris Evans x Latina!Reader

Word Count: 1580

Warnings: Mentions of Death, Angst, Unrequited love, Fluff (Teeny Bit)

A/N: This is part of @star-spangled-man-with-a-plan​ Marvel Play list. I got Smooth by Santana featuring Rob Thomas. I don’t have a beta reader to look into this so sorry if it sucks. More announcements at the end (might be a part 2).

December 2018, Bronx, NY

“I don’t think I can do this.” you muttered to yourself, looking up at the ceiling.

It had been five days since your grandmother passed away and you were still in complete shock. You had only spoken to three days before. She had been in the hospital for about a week due to her heart condition, but she had been released and was doing a lot better according to her doctor. So when news of her passing reached you while you in the middle of production of the movie you were working on, you thought it was a joke.

You felt the foot of the bed dip, “Come on Y/N,” Your co-star and best friend Chris said softly, patting your thigh, “You have to go. At least be there for your dad.”

You took one of the extra pillows beside you and pulled it over your head, a small part of you hoping that all of this was a terrible nightmare. You heard him sigh and get up from the bed, “I’ll meet you in the lobby.” You heard his footsteps fade away before hearing the door to your hotel room close.

You laid in bed for a few more minutes before finally forcing yourself off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Chris Evans was a sweetheart. He had been your best friend for almost eight years. You had just moved to Los Angeles when you had been casted as an extra in Captain America: The First Avenger. You were a nervous wreck but he helped you through it and you both had been each other’s person to lean on. However you had both been cast in a movie where you play each other’s love interest and it’s making you face certain feelings that you had been trying to repress for a long time.

After taking a quick shower, you quickly got dressed in all black and headed down to the lobby and met up with Chris. Leaving the hotel, you both drove 25 minutes into the South Bronx in silence. As you were nearing the funeral home, reality finally hit you. It wasn’t a nightmare. You felt yourself start to get agitated when suddenly, you felt a large hand cover your free hand, giving it a gentle squeeze, “It’s okay doll.” He gave you a small smile, “I got you.”

Walking inside the funeral home, you were met with family member that you haven’t seen in years. After greeting everyone, Chris and you made your way over to your mom who was sitting on one of the couches.

“Hola ma.” You called out to her.

She snapped her gaze from the ground and onto you, “Y/N!” she rushed over to you in a flash and pulled you into a tight embrace, her hot tears soaking your leather jacket.

“How’s dad?” you asked her in English, wiping some of the tears from your eyes.

“Esta mal.” She answered back to you in spanish, “El estuvo en el hospital con ella y se le murió en sus brazos.”

You closed your eyes in agony, “Oh no.”

Steve looked at you with a quizzical expression on his face, “What did she say?” He asked.

“My dad….was in the hospital that night.” your voice trembled in response, “She died in his arms.”

“Oh my god doll, I’m so sorry.” he pulled you into a hug, and surprisingly, it felt nice.

You pulled away from Chris, then turned to look at your mom, “Voy a buscar a mi papa. Tu te acuerdas de Chris verdad?” you asked as she nodded.

“Hola papi.” She gave Chris a warm smile, “How are you?” She asked in her thick spanish accent.

You excused yourself from them and made your way through the throng of people that surrounded you before finally finding your dad, standing by the doorway greeting the other guests.

“Hey dad.” you gave the man with graying hair a big hug.

“Took ya long enough kiddo.” He gave you a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

It broke your heart to see him in this position. “I’m so sorry I didn’t get here sooner.”

He shook his head, “You got here as fast as you could kiddo.”

The rest of the day was a blur. It was as if your mind and body were on autopilot. By the time you had gotten back to the hotel, it was almost 11:30.

“Can’t wait to get back to my hotel room and pass out.” Chris said as you both stepped out of the elevator.

You stretched out your legs “Same here. Being cooped up in a SUV all day sucks.”

He let out a chuckle, “Yeah, Tell me about it.”

You both stopped outside your hotel room. “Well this is me.” You announced nervously.

“Okay.” Chris answered simply, “I’ll see you tomorrow morning then.

“Okay.” You said as he turned on his heel and walked down the hall.

You pulled your key card from your pocket and scanned it against the lock but before you can turn the knob to let yourself in, Chris called out to you, “Y/N?”

“Yeah?”

“If you need anything doll, you know I’m next door.”

“Roger that, Cap.” You winked at him playfully and for a split second you thought you saw his cheeks flush pink.

Stepping out of the shower, Chris grabbed a fluffy white towel and wrapped it around his waist. He quickly dressed in a pair of sweatpants and a gray t-shirt and fell back on his bed, turning on the tv and flip through the channels until something came up and sparked his interest.

He looked over at the clock on the bedside table and saw it was almost midnight. He shut off the television and before hearing a tune that he hadn’t heard in a very long time.

“Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone But you stay so cool”

He hummed along to the music until he heard your voice singing along to the song.

“My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa You're my reason for reason, the step in my groove

And if you say this life ain't good enough I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth And it's just like the ocean under the moon It's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of loving that can be so smooth Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it”

He was surprised at how well your singing voice was. Chuckling to himself, he propped himself up against the wall and closed his eyes, humming along to the soothing sounds of Carlos Santana.

“Fuck.” you muttered to yourself as you stood outside Chris’ hotel room, running your fingers through your hair, “What am I doing here?”

You paced up and down the hall for a moment before finally building up the courage to knock on his door.

“I should go.” You muttered to yourself, when suddenly the door swung open and Chris walked out looking down at you.

“Y/N?” He asked groggily, making you weak in the knees, “What’s wrong?”

“I uh…” you looked down at your feet, “I can’t sleep.” You looked up at him and gave him a nervous smile, “Can I spend the night with you?”

“Of course doll.” He replied, stepping aside and letting you in.

“You still thinking about your grandma?” He asked as he walked passed you to the other side of the room where the mini fridge was and pulled out two small brown liquor bottles.

“Yeah.” you let out a sigh, thanking him as he handed you one of the bottles.

Unscrewing the caps, you both made a quick toast and downed the shot.

“Man that’s strong.” You grimaced at the taste of the whiskey.

You stayed up for hours, talking to Chris about the memories of the sweet little old lady that helped you pursue your dreams.

Before you knew it, it was 4:30 in the morning, “I should get going.” You slurred as you got up from the couch but fell back down immediately, “God, I’m so drunk.” you let out a laugh.

“Maybe you should lie down Y/N.” Chris suggested as he grabbed of the extra pillows and handed it to you.

You took it and tossed it aside, feeling brave as you got up from the couch and walked towards him.

“Maybe…” you trailed off, looking up at him with your best attempt at a sultry look, “You should kiss me.”

Before he could open his mouth, you wrapped your arms around his neck and crashed your lips against his.

At first he was shocked, but then he kissed you back, before immediately he pushed you away.

“No!” Chris said in shock.

“Oh my god.” You sobered up fast, all the color draining from your face, “Chris I am so sor-”

He cut you off, “You gotta go Y/N.”

You nodded and quickly made your way out of his hotel room and made it back into your hotel room, slamming the door behind you and slid down to the floor, “Smooth Y/N…” you chastising yourself for being capable of doing so stupid, “Real fuckin’ smooth.”

A/N: I am so sorry that I haven’t been on tumblr lately. I’ve been going through a massive writer’s block and depression. I want  to dedicate this story to my grandmother who passed away last month. She was the sweetest little old lady and I miss her so much.

Legends of Yesterday Chapter 4 (Dean x Reader)

Title: Legends of Yesterday Chapter 4

Summary:  Dean and (Y/n) are in love. But when a mysterious stranger shows up out of nowhere, making claims to the both of them, can they keep their happiness?

Warnings: Gets kinda emotional

AN: I may have cried while writing part of this chapter

There weren’t any voices waking her this time. When (Y/n) woke up, it wasn’t with a gasp and a cold sweat. She actually felt rested. She blinked a couple times, expecting to find one of two options: Dean towering over her with worry written all over his face, or tied up someplace by the man from her bedroom. Instead, she found neither. She was in the middle of a king sized bed all by herself. A soft light filled the room, showing off the white marble and white bedding. Everything was so clean and pristine. (Y/n) set up slowly, looking around the room.

The bedroom where she was sleeping was simply, but elegantly decorated. A white settee set at the foot of the bed, white curtains hung on the window, and a white canopy surrounded the bed. There were blue accents here and there, but for the most part, it was white everywhere. (Y/n)’s feet touched cool wooden planks as she climbed out of the warm covers. She shivered some, since she was still wearing her babydoll. She felt that she blended in a little too well with the rest of the room.

“Where am I?” (Y/n) asked herself softly. She knew Dean wasn’t here. She could just feel it. She made her way to the window, pulling back the curtains. She thought maybe if she could see out, she could figure out where she was and try to contact someone for help. But as she opened the curtains, she couldn’t see anything outside. The window was dark, no light from the outside coming in. She looked down at the window sill to see an all too familiar angel sigil carved into the wood.

“Well, that’s just great.” She murmured to herself. She let the curtains fall closed and made her way to the heavy, wooden door that she assumed led out of the room. She placed her ear against the door, trying to see if she could hear anything. And she did hear something. She heard soft music playing on the other side.

Ignoring almost every rule she had that was running through her head, she carefully opened the door and made her way out into what she assumed was the living room. It was just as clean as the bedroom was, with just a little more furniture and a TV hanging on the wall. But that’s not where the music was coming from. She could see into the kitchen, where someone was standing with their back to her. She glanced around the room and her eyes fell on a record player and suddenly, she found it hard to move. Instead, she just focused on the music playing.

We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when…

****

But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.

The Vera Lynn song was being sung by a young girl on stage. She was probably ready to join the USO, to entertain the troops and keep up their morale over in Europe. Pandora looked around the room, her dark hair let loose to run down her back. She had on a black velvet, Sophie dress. She wanted to look beautiful for him.

“Excuse me ma’am, are you waiting for someone?” A man asked. Pandora turned around and her red lips split into a smile.

“Prometheus!” She said, throwing her arms around him. “Or should I use your current name?”

“Prometheus is just fine my love.” He took off his dress hat and held it under his arm. Pandora took in his look. Army dress. Somehow he got drafted. At least, she hoped he got drafted and he didn’t enlist. “Shall we dance?” He offered out a hand to her. She smiled and took it as he replaced his hat on his head.

Pandora let Prometheus lead her out onto the dance floor, where other couples were holding onto each other. He had one hand holding hers, the other wrapped around her back while she rested her free hand on his shoulder. After a moment, she rested her head on his chest, able to hear his strong heartbeat. As they moved around the room, she could see others doing the same thing. All the men in this room would soon be off to war, or at least most of them would be. The women in their arms would be taking up their roles in the factories and helping out in the hospitals. She was the latter. But just like all those girls, her man was leaving her here.

“I don’t understand.” Pandora finally said. Prometheus looked down at her.

“You don’t understand what my love?” He asked. She looked up at him, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

“This is the first time in so many years that it’s just you and me. Epimetheus has yet to come back into our lives. Why can’t we just be happy together for once?” A tear finally fell down her cheek. Prometheus wiped it away.

“My dear, do not cry. You know why I have to do this.” He told her. “My main goal is keeping you safe. Nothing is more important than that to me. If I have to face another reincarnation to do that, then so be it.”

“But let’s just be immortal together. We will never age. We will never be hurt and we will never be apart.” Prometheus shook his head. “What if something happens while you’re gone? What if I don’t reincarnate?”

“We have this talk every time.” Prometheus couldn’t help but smile. “You will always come back to me, just like I always come back to you. We just have to be patient while waiting for each other.” He held her close to him. “I will always wait for you. I will always find you. I love you.”

“I love you too.” She whispered. They danced for a little more before heading out of the party. A light snow was falling around them as Prometheus looked to the dark sky.

“We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when. But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.” Prometheus sang to Pandora. She couldn’t help but smile at him. He held her hand, playing with the ring on her finger. “Someday, it can be just you and me. No wars, no separation, no death. If I don’t make it home from Europe, when I’m reborn, I will find you.” He placed a soft kiss upon her lips. “I will come home to you.”

“I know you will.” She moved so he wrapped her in his arms and he deepened the kiss. A deep and longing kiss that he had wanted for so long, but couldn’t. Epimetheus was always around. But not this time. For this night, it was just her and him. Together, as it should be. As they broke apart, he rested his forehead on hers.

“I’ll find you. I promise.”

“Pandora?” A soft voice broke through the vision she was having. (Y/n) didn’t realize she had sunk to the cold floor or that a tear was falling down her face. She looked up at the man, staring down at her with those green eyes that she just saw in the vision.

“Your name...your name is Prometheus.” (Y/n) said. He carefully helped her to her feet and looked over her, a smile on his face.

“You remember?” He asked. She shook her head.

“I just saw you in a vision.” She explained. “Because of that song.” Another tear fell down her face. “You didn’t come back from Europe, did you?” His smile fell and he turned away from her. He had been so happy, thinking he had gotten his Pandora back.

“I died in France, on a beach. I was so close to getting home.” He explained. “We were supposed to meet in New York. That was our city. But something must have happened between my death and rebirth.” He turned back to look at her. “Something happened to you.” Something deep inside (Y/n) was telling her to go to him, to hold him and comfort him. But something else, a stronger voice, was telling her to run.

So she listened to the stronger voice and slipped away from Prometheus and headed towards what she hoped was the front door.

“Pandora! Wait!” Prometheus called out, but (Y/n) didn’t listen to him. She ran out of what was a townhouse in just her nightgown and bare feet. She wasn’t sure where she was, but she could see light. The windows were blacked out, not allowing her to see out. She still didn’t know where she was, but she could feel a change, not being surrounded by the magic.

“Cas!” (Y/n) cried out. “Castiel! Dean! Sam! Somebody help me!”

“Pandora, come back inside!” Prometheus said, hurrying over to her. But before he could get to her, an angel with two angry hunters appeared, stopping his path. Dean quickly pulled (Y/n) to him, wrapping his jacket around her as she shivered. “Pandora, please.”

“Her name is (Y/n).” Dean hissed at him. Prometheus shook his head.

“That’s not true. Her name is Pandora. My name is Prometheus.”

“Like the titan?” Cas asked, staring at him.

“Yes, exactly.” Prometheus told them.

“That’s impossible.” Sam said. Prometheus shook his head.

“There are many things that I have to tell you. All of you. So why don’t we all go in and talk about this. I can even remove the sigils.” Prometheus said. Dean was about to tell him to go screw himself, but (Y/n) spoke up first.

“Our home, not yours.” She said. She wanted answers. She wanted to know why this was all happening to her. She felt a stronger connection to Prometheus than to Epimetheus. There was a draw to him that she only ever felt from Dean.

“You don’t love California anymore?” Prometheus asked, earning a confused look from (Y/n). “Hermes said that you enjoyed it here while I was gone. I just thought that it would help you to be in a place you loved.” He sighed when he figured out that (Y/n) had no idea what he was talking about. “Fine, back to that moldy hole in the ground.”

“Hey!” Dean said. Prometheus ignored him.

“I’ll let you lead the way.” Prometheus said, bowing slightly. Cas looked at Sam, Dean, and Nicole, teleporting them back home. Prometheus followed not long after, arriving in a show of flames like he had earlier. It took Dean a moment to get his bearings, but when he did, he saw Prometheus gazing longingly at (Y/n).

“Okay, we’re here. So spill.” Dean said, pulling her close to him. Prometheus took a seat at the table to his left, waving his hand for the others to settle in. Everyone took a seat and looked at the Titan, awaiting what he had to say.

“I don’t know how familiar you are with Greek myths,” He started. “But most of them aren’t true, or they are overexpanded to be these epic tales or merciless gods and their constant exploits.” He looked at everyone. “The story of Pandora was a lot more detailed than any myth you might have been told.”

“Well, just get on with it then.” Dean grumbled. Sam kicked him under the table and gave him a look. A look that Dean was quite familiar with but still chose to ignore. (Y/n) leaned forward in her seat some, ready to hear what Prometheus had to say.

“Cronus was locked away by Zeus and his siblings,” Prometheus began. “The world had once been in chaos. So Zeus used some of godly powers and created some gods and goddesses to help balance out the world. And among some of his creations was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes on…”

“Pandora?” Sam asked. Prometheus nodded.

“I fell in love with her at first sight.” He smiled slightly at the memory. “So I volunteered to watch over this new world. I created the first humans out of clay while Zeus’s children started to grow and develop their talents. But then my pride started to get the best of me. The Titan side of me wanted their loyalty, their worship. So I stole the sacred fire of the gods and gave it to them to win their favor.” He looked down in shame then. “So Zeus punished me.”

“Wouldn’t let you play with your toys?” Dean said sarcastically. Prometheus glared at him.

“He stole my love away from me and forced her into a marriage with my brother, Epimetheus.” (Y/n) looked at him, seeing the pain in his eyes.

“Epimetheus is your brother?” Sam asked.

“Yes.” He said with a soft voice. “I was forced to attend their wedding. I watched as he kissed my true love. They were showered with gifts and praises. But then Zeus, that egotistical bastard, pushed a jar containing the horrors of the universe in it. He knew her curiosity would get the best of her. And Deimos didn’t help much. He convinced her to just take a peek. And when she did, we were all cursed to live for eternity.”

“Wait a minute.” Sam said, pausing him. “Dean, we knew this.”

“We did?” Sam nodded. “How?”

“Artemis.” Sam told him. Prometheus flinched some.

“Yeah, yeah. I remember that now.” Dean looked at Prometheus. “In fact, we already met a Prometheus.”

“That is hard to explain.” Prometheus said. “I might have created a new body in case I was to ever need it. And he became sentient.” He growled some. “But that’s not the point of this story. Because of what Zeus did to Pandora, we can die, but we come back to life. Sometimes it’s days, sometimes it can be years. When I was killed on Normandy Beach, it took years for my body to come back to life.”

“Aren’t you usually supposed to remember things?” Dean asked.

“Yes. So that’s why something had to have happened to Pandora while I was gone. Because the only times that memories don’t transfer is magical interference, and the very rare occasions that we don’t come back to life.” Prometheus looked over at (Y/n), who was playing with the necklace around her neck. “Only Pandora would have that necklace.”

“This?” She asked, playing with it. “My grandmother gave it to me. She collected costume jewelry back in her youth and she found this in her jewelry box.”

“That was a gift from Athena.” Prometheus said. “On your wedding. She gave it to you right before Zeus gave you that horrid jar.” (Y/n) looked down at the old, coin looking object with an owl pressed onto it. (Y/n) stood up.

“I don’t care if I am this Pandora or not,” She stated. “I’m not going anywhere. This is my home.” She watched as Prometheus’s skin glowed some.

“Were you really that mad at me that you decided to do this?” He asked. “I had to keep you safe! That is the only thing I cared about! Do you think I would’ve gone to France on June 6, 1944 if I didn’t want to keep you safe?”

“I think it’s time you leave.” Cas said, standing up. Dean and Sam followed suite.

“You did something to her, didn’t you?” Prometheus asked, looking right at Dean. “That’s why she’s so loyal to you, isn’t it?” He held his hand out, a fireball appearing in it. “I might not be Hephaestus, but I think I can control this just fine.” (Y/n)’s eyes widened.

“Prometheus…” She said, but he shook his head.

“He did something to you. It only seems right that I do something to him.” With that, Prometheus threw the fireball straight at Dean. Dean was quick though, his reflexes not dulled by age. Cas, Sam, and Dean dived for cover while (Y/n) stood and stared at Prometheus, her mouth opened slightly in a surprised look.

“Son of a bitch!” Dean growled, pulling (Y/n) from her frozen state. She dropped to the floor him him while he unholstered the gun that he kept hidden under the table. It might be home, but you still had to be prepared for anything.

“What are you doing?” (Y/n) asked. Dean looked over at her.

“He’s asking for a fight, so he’s got one.” He growled. “No one tries to blow me up in my own freakin’ house!”

“Dean, don’t do anything stupid.” Sam said, but it was too late. Dean was already standing, ready to fire.

Mary had been staying at the compound for a while. She didn’t want to go back to the bunker. There were too many things she wanted to see and she could feel a bit of a hostility between her and her oldest. And everytime she looked at her youngest, all she could see what that little baby that she greedily brought into this life. She didn’t regret having Sam, that wasn’t it. She regretted the pain she brought upon him.

But he had called, asking for her help. And as she set in her room with the military style mattress and blanket, she stared down at her phone. Should she call him? Should she go over there? Should she hope that he could figure out whatever the problem was without her? She looked up at her door again, partly because she was debating on if she should go and partly because of the noise outside of it. Then there was a knock.

“Come in.” Mary said. The door swung open and Mick walked in.

“I didn’t see you for dinner.” He said, watching her body language. “And Ketch said he didn’t see you for lunch either.”

“I ate in my room.” Mary said. “Sam called and I’ve been weighing my options.”

“You’re still hiding from them?” Mick asked with a bit of a laugh. “What does Sam need anyway?”

“Somethings wrong with Dean’s girlfriend,” She explained. “So Sam wanted information on Greek gods or something like that.” Mick just stared at her. “Mick?”

“Does it have something to do with someone named Epimetheus?” Mick asked.

“Uh, yeah. How did you know?” She asked.

“My father, a former member of the Men of Letters, was part of an operation many years ago called Operation Roundup.” He started. “Come with me. I think you’ll want to see all the information he gathered.” Mary stood up. “I’ll send plenty of information to the boys, but right now, I think that that you need to see it first.”

“Well, okay then.” Mary said, following Mick out of the room and to his office.
