Once you were done with work, and had your flowers for Flora, you were ready to go to the Maximoff’s house. You’d sent a quick text to Dragos telling him that you’d bring Natasha with you, to save them an extra unnecessary trip.

You pack your things quickly and head to the car, Natasha follows behind you. When you get in the car, you finally notice the subtle nervousness of Natasha.

“Are you scared to meet Wanda’s mom?”

Natasha nods a little, “It’s more than that. You guys are the most important people in her life. She told me so herself. Dragos doesn’t like me yet, Pietro and I really just looked at each other, and I heard Flora’s got high standards when it comes to partners.”

“Well, they are the kindest people you could ever meet. All they'll care about is that you keep Wanda happy,” you insist.

“I think the kindness goes out of the window, when you find out your daughter got married to a Russian spy that tried to kill her,” Natasha mumbles.

 You try to offer her some comfort, “I’m not going to argue with that but, you’ll get a little break, when I tell them I like you.”

“Really?”

“If Wanda told you all about me, then you should know they've got a soft spot for me,” you’re a little embarrassed when you say it, but it’s the truth.

If Natasha notices your embarrassment, she doesn't bring it up, “Wanda says you’re basically a Maximoff every time she tells a story about you.”

You smile, “I like to think of them as my family too. There’s been plenty of times where I want to call Dragos, papa. That means there’s even more times when I want call Flora Mama.”

“What’s stopping you?”

“I don’t want to take the chance and ruin our dynamic.”

The Russian sighs as the house comes into view. “I think they’d both love it. The way Wanda tells it, they feel as though you're one of their kids.”

You park the car before answering Natasha, “Maybe one day.”

With the hydrangeas in hand, you head to the front door. Natasha tries to walk behind you, but you pull her forward so she’s next to you.

“This is a family you have to face head on. Those uncertainties you have, keep them close to you. Don’t let them see your nerves because they’ll pounce. Just remember that you love Wanda, and she loves you too,” your attempt at a pep talk seems to calm her nerves a bit.

“You said they were nice people. Nice people don’t have warnings.”

You roll your eyes, “Natasha you secretly married the daughter of a crime lord without ever meeting the family, there’s a shitload of warnings.”

The door swings open before you have the chance to knock. You find yourself being pulled into a warm hug. It’s only a moment before Flora’s hands land on your face. She turns your head a couple times checking that you are fine, before planting a kiss on your cheek.

“Y/n, where have you been sweetheart? Too old to come see me anymore, huh? You’ve got bags under your eyes Malysh, have you been sleeping ok?”

You smile warmly at her antics, “I’ll never be too old to come visit my Flora. As a sorry, for being away I brought you these.”

Flora takes the flowers from you. “Always knowing how to get into my good graces, these are beautiful Y/n.” Her eyes dart to Natasha and you watch as her features go neutral.

 “You must be Natasha.”

The red head extends her hand, “It’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs.Maximoff.”

Flora shakes her hand, “Yes, if only we could've done this sooner. “

Natasha doesn’t shift at the words, but you can feel her nerves from besides you. Flora beckons you both into the house and you follow her into the kitchen. She grabs a vase for the flowers and begins to fill it with water.

“So, why Natasha?” She says as she places the flowers in the vase.

“I’m sorry?” Natasha is confused by the question.

Flora keeps her eyes on the flowers, “Why’d you pick the name Natasha? Natalia is a fairly pretty name, why not keep it?”

You weren't surprised that Flora had done some research on the woman. However, Natasha was taken aback by the question. She wasn’t expecting it, so it took her a moment to respond.

“As a spy, I have many aliases. However, Natasha never felt like an alias, she just felt like me. My parents and sister call me Natalia often just to tease me, but even they seem to like Natasha better.”

You decide to help the Russian out, “Are you close with your family, Natasha?”

She nods, “Very close. My parents took Yelena and I when we were very little. They saved us from some terrible people, I owe then everything. Though they'd never let me repay them.”

“Reminds me of us,” you say to Flora, who has now softened her gaze on the redhead.

Flora had a soft spot for children in tough places. You knew that's why she originally gravitated towards you, when Pietro first brought you around. This was the perfect topic to get Natasha on Flora’s good side.

“If we found you any younger you would've had our last name,” Flora places the vase the table. She eyes Natasha for a moment before asking about her childhood, “Foster care?”

Natasha stiffens a little, “Worse. Young girls all taken and trained to be weapons for whatever they needed.”

Flora’s eyes become glossy, “The red room.”

Natasha’s gaze was locked on the floor, “Yeah.”

It is a quick turn of events when Flora wraps her arms around Natasha. She holds the woman firm as she begins to speak in Russian. You don't understand all of it, but it seems that Flora was intimately familiar with the place.

“You two go and make yourselves comfortable while I start dinner,” she says finally releasing Natasha.

“You don’t want help?”

Flora shakes her head, “Go, relax malysh. I’ve got it covered in here.”

Instead of leading Natasha to the living room, you take her to the backyard. There is a beautiful large grass area, with a nice garden space in the corner. The patio has the perfect view of the sunset. You sit on one of the patio chairs and Natasha sits beside you.

“I think that went well,” you say to her.

“Thanks to you, it went really well,” Natasha looks at you gratefully.

You shake your head, “I didn’t do much.”

Natasha argues back, “I see why they call you the glue. If you hadn’t made your comment, she would’ve slighted me all night.”

“Don’t give me too much credit, you would've had her the moment you asked how many people she killed,” you joke, and Natasha gets a bit embarrassed.

“Sorry, I guess I just- “

You stop her, “It’s fine, Nat. I’ve been underestimated all my life. My first kill is symbolic to me, even in that pitiful state, I was able to snap someone’s neck. I remember all of them, though it’s not a lot, I also remember each one getting easier.”

She looks at you, “The longer it gets, the less you remember, and then one day you’re left with the memory of how you used to feel about it. Maybe it fills you with pride in the beginning, but eventually killing just leaves you feeling empty.”

Wanda comes into the backyard before you could answer the Russian.

“She’s not giving you too much trouble is she, Y/n?”

Natasha sends her wife a pointed look. You laugh at the interaction.

“She’s a pleasure to have around. I can see why you married her, regardless of the assassination attempt.”

Wanda tilts her head but keeps a smile on her face, “Telling our love story without me, my love?”

“It just came up. How was the meeting?”

Wanda plops down next to you before leaning back, “Apparently Kingpin is looking to expand his control. At least that’s what Hammerhead said.”

You clench your jaw at the mention of the large man, “He’s such a greedy bastard. He has the second largest market besides us. Which means he thinks he can take over us. I couldn’t imagine being a guy that big with no fucking brains.”

Wanda shakes her head and chuckles slightly, “You sound just like Papa. He was pissed when he heard.”

“How is he now?” You ask knowing he could get a little reckless when he was angry.

“For now, he’s alright. I told him we could use Kingpin’s greed as an example. We can crush him and in turn teach the others not to try to cross us.”

Your hands reach to rub your temples, “You make it sound so easy.”

“It will be,” you can hear the determination in her voice.

Natasha interjects, “I think Y/n has a point. It’s definitely easier said than done.”

You keep your composure, “Kingpin selling is a problem in itself, but the people should know better than to buy from him. Whoever is making purchases with him is not being loyal to us. That means he’s making allies, or rather he is taking our allies away from us. It strengthens his numbers while diminishing ours. He’s trying to start a revolution.”

Before it could be discussed any further Dragos appears, “We can discuss it more tomorrow. Tonight, we celebrate Wanda’s homecoming… and marriage. Dinner is ready.”

You’re the first out of your chair and into the house. It leaves Dragos some time with the couple.

“Remember we only talk business outside of the office, if it is absolutely necessary,” he reminds his daughter.

“She still gets that way?” Wanda asks referring to you.

He shakes his head, “She’s just started brainstorming and it’s hard for her to put it aside. She’s not that timid little girl anymore.”

Wanda lets out an irritated sigh, “Why does everyone keep saying that? I know her just like everyone else, papa. I’ve cared for her, I’ve trained her, and- “

“You missed 5 years of her life; you missed her graduation, you missed her putting all of her training to practical use, you missed her joining the family business. No one is saying that you didn't know her well, but you can’t act like you witnessed her growth.”

“It’s not my fault that I wasn’t there,” she speaks through gritted teeth.

“No one is saying it was, malysh.”

Natasha grabs her wife’s hand, “We’re celebrating you tonight like your father said. Let’s just enjoy this and eat. You never stopped talking about your mother’s cooking and the longer we spend out here, the colder the food gets in there.”

Wanda gets up from her seat, “You’re right. I’m sorry Papa, I’m just not used to being home yet.”

“It’s alright, her growth is startling. I still remember how I felt when Pietro told me she killed a boy. It was a shock; I didn’t want to believe it. She was so delicate that I couldn't picture her doing it.”

“Y/n killed somebody?”

Natasha nods, “She told me about it. Y/n actually has a little ledger, 8 people.”

Wanda’s eyes widen, “She told you about it?”

The conversation stops there, when you come back, “Flora said if you guys don’t come to dinner now that Piet and I can have your plates.”

“You’d eat Wanda’s welcome home meal, that’s pretty criminal even by our standards,” Natasha says pulling her wife along into the house.

“Oh 100%, you would too if you had Flora’s cooking.”

The playful banter continues, even once everyone is sat at the dinner table. Conversation flows freely, but Wanda doesn't contribute much. All that circles her mind is you.

Her father’s words echo in her head. She had missed some of the most important moments of your life. Wanda was scared to admit that she hardly recognized the woman you’ve grown into.

It bothered her. She was jealous that everyone got to see you blossom, but her. Even Wanda’s wife seemed to know things about you that she didn’t. It was a pill that she didn’t want to swallow.

Her little Krolik wasn’t so little anymore.

Jason heart breaks when he saw food vlogger!reader trying hard not to crumble in front of him cos of nasty comments about him so he be the one saying "Hey, can I have some hugs? Bad day today." "Huggies." "Yeah, huggies then." so that reader can hold onto him, let out her flooding thoughts as he pats and pulls her into sleep, before sending helps to Tim find out the nasty comments (which he's the second realize the mysterious bf of the vlogger the batfam recently favours is... 'This is weird' he says, as freaking out in the most calmest and blankest way:|)

You always did your best to not let those comments get to you. But we all have bad days, and those bad days just get worse when you pay too much attention to the bad things in it.

Laying on your couch while something you were not paying attention to played on tv, you couldn't help the tears that kept falling down your cheek as your laptop laid open on your coffee table, displaying all the negative comments you'd got on your last upload.

"Babe, I'm home" you heard the door opening and your boyfriend's keys being thrown on the entryway table, you quickly dry your face on the sleeves of your sweater and try to sound as okayish as possible when replying back at him.

The thing is, Jason knows you, better than anyone, and he can sense you're not alright just by the way your voice slightly trembles in your response. Approaching the couch, he glimpses at the small screen on the table and can see a few of the comments you were worrying about.

With a deep and long sigh, he climbs over the back of the couch and snuggles against your chest. "Hey, can I have some hugs? I had a bad day today." he lies.

"Huggies?" you ask, encircling your arms around your boyfriend, who just nods and wraps you thigh in his arms. "Yeah, huggies then."

Jason starts pecking your neck and caressing your back. There in his arms you feel more at home than anywhere else, and you start to feel the tears flooding your eyes once more. "You know they ain't worth shit, right?" confused where he's coming from, you just hum in reply. "Those people, on your videos. They're pieces of shit who have nothing better to do then to try and hurt others because their lives is already so shitty they can only think and do shit things in their shitty little lives. You're so much better than them, you're literally perfect. Perfect, perfect."

As you're sobbing again, his hold becomes even tighter and he kisses your temples, trying to calm you down. He allows you to cry your sadness away, while continuing with the words of affirmation declared through whispers in your ear. Soon, you've cried yourself to sleep on his chest, and he grabs his phone to message the one who he knows can help him right not.

You want me to what for who?, was Tim's first message back.

I want you to find those people, threaten them, make them pay. They've hurt y/n and they'll live to regret it. Jason texted back.

Clever as he is, it didn't take long for Tim to understand what that was all about. So, you're the boyfriend? The one in the videos? Alright, this is weird. Strange. How... how did I not notice? You're just there with us all the time I could've recognized those guns of arms you have! Anyways, they hurt Y/n, she's your girl so she's family. They'll regret ever messing with her...

Thanks, T. he finished the conversation. Focusing his attention on you again, his lips living kisses on your head. "I'll make them regret ever hurting you, baby. You'll see. They're too dumb to see perfection with their eyes even if presented to them on a plater. You're perfect to me, and that's all that matters."

How do you think Gintoki would react to his partner confessing to him that he's their first when they're about to get intimate and they're a little insecure and embarrassed about this fact? 🩷💌

A/N: OMG!!😳 I’m sorry! I just couldn’t stop myself from putting this GIF!😂

Ft: Sakata Gintoki (Gintama).

Sakata Gintoki

➵ Freaks out, as if the world is ending.

➵ Despite Gintoki's cool and unbothered demeanor most of the time, he's the most likely among the Gintama boys to react this way.

➵ He honestly doesn't know what to do, and it's more likely that his partner will end up taking care of him instead.

➵ I swear! He's not trying to be mean, but poor baby just really has no idea what he's supposed to do! 😭

➵ He doesn’t mind the fact that it’s their first time, of course! It’s just that he doesn’t know how to continue with this newfound information.

➵ He's probably going to be extremely awkward throughout the whole process, constantly worrying about where to place his hands and how rough to be.

➵ The worst part is that he's too shy to even ask questions about how his partner wants things to go! It's just too much for his manly ego to admit that he has no idea how to proceed! 😤 His partner will have no choice but to guide him through it all.

➵ And if his partner wants him to be rougher, then they'll have to literally snap at him to get some action. Otherwise, he'll continue with the whole 'my s/o is too fragile to handle me' act.

➵ Somehow, this guy has managed to mix awkwardness with smugness. I have no idea how it works, but it does with him.

➵ In the end, everything will depend solely on how his partner decides to deal with him.

➵ If they decide to be the sweetest thing on earth, he'll turn into the king of smugness for providing such a night of pleasure.

➵ However, if his partner decides to tease him, he'll become the most discreet little mouse they've ever seen, blushing at the smallest things.

➵ Ultimately, it's all up to their preference. 😉

You find yourself in a cozy, dimly lit bedroom. You're lying next to Gintoki, who's lying on his back, staring up at the ceiling with a small smile on his face.

You glance over at him, feeling a blush rise to your cheeks as you think back on what just happened. Despite his usual sarcastic demeanor, Gintoki had been surprisingly sweet and attentive, taking his time to make sure you were comfortable and enjoying yourself.

You clear your throat, breaking the comfortable silence. "So... that was, um, nice," you say, feeling awkward despite yourself.

Gintoki chuckles softly, turning his head to look at you. "Just nice?" He teases, a smug grin crossing his face.

You roll your eyes, feeling a smile tug at the corners of your lips. "Okay, it was amazing," you admit, snuggling closer to him.

Gintoki's expression softens, and he reaches out to run a hand through your hair. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," he says, his voice low and gentle.

"You know, for someone who's been with other people before, you were surprisingly clueless," you tease him, earning a blush from the usually smug samurai.

He grumbles in response, "Hey, I never said I was a pro at this. I just go with the flow." You chuckle at his nonchalant attitude, but you know that he's actually just too shy to ask about your preferences.

"It's okay, Gintoki," you reassure him, reaching over to take his hand. "I enjoyed it all the same."

He squeezes your hand back, relief washing over his face. "Good, because I was really worried I was too rough."

You shake your head, "No, you were perfect."

He grins, "What can I say? I'm the king of providing pleasure."

You can't help but laugh at his arrogance, but you know that deep down he's just happy that he was able to make you feel good. You snuggle closer to him, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.

There's a moment of silence as you both just lay there, enjoying each other's company. Then, Gintoki speaks up again. "You know, I'm not usually one for this kind of thing," he admits, sounding a little awkward.

You turn to look at him, curious. "What do you mean?"

Gintoki shrugs, looking a little embarrassed. "I mean... I'm not very good at the whole... emotional stuff," he says, frowning slightly. "I don't really know how to talk about my feelings or anything like that.”

You reach out to take his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "That's okay," you say. "I'm not exactly an expert either."

Gintoki gives you a small smile, looking relieved. "Thanks," he says quietly. "I just don't want you to think I don't care or anything like that."

You shake your head, feeling a surge of affection for the lazy, sarcastic man lying next to you. "I know you care," you say, smiling. "In your own way."

Gintoki chuckles, sounding a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I guess I do," he says. "I mean, I wouldn't have done all this if I didn't care about you."

You feel a warm feeling spreading through your chest at his words, and you lean in to press a soft kiss to his lips. "Thank you," you whisper.

Gintoki wraps an arm around you, pulling you close. "Anytime," he murmurs, his eyes sliding closed. You both drift off to sleep, wrapped up in each other's arms, feeling content and happy.

"Come oooon Y/n, it'll be fun! Just a small hang out sesh. No cameras, none of that. All the guys will be there. I promise you're gonna love it!" 

You sighed softly, pinching the bridge of your nose as you listened to probably the 5th plea today from your boyfriend, Kim Namjoon. The two of you have been dating for about 5 months now, but since he was in such a popular music group, you two decided to keep your relationship a secret. You never told anyone, even the friends he was in the band with, and you were honestly okay with keeping it that way for a little while longer. However, Namjoon couldn't be more of the opposite.

Namjoon cherishes his friends almost as much as he cherishes you. He is very proud of what they've become since they first got together. They are basically his second family. It would be an absolute dream for him to see his best friends and the love of his life meet each other and get along. Not to mention that he takes great pride in you and would show you off to the entire world if he could. You know this almost as much as he does.

Truthfully, the problem for you wasn't that you wouldn't like them or a fear of getting found out. Namjoon has already told you plenty of stories about them, and the videos they post online of their daily life pretty much confirm that you'd love to hang out with them. You were more afraid of the possibility that the others wouldn't like you. You've heard all about the infamous "V Test" and you had a strong feeling you wouldn't pass that, or the other guys' judgment tests for that matter.

"Joon, please. I'm really not sure if I want the others to know I'm your significant other yet. I know how much they mean to you, and I don't want to intrude... especially if they don't approve of me. Besides, what if someone outside of them sees us? As much as I love your fans, you know how some of them can get. I don't want to put either of us, or the guys, in that kind of situation..."

Your boyfriend was quick to silence your concerns with his reassurance. "I understand baby, I really do, but no one will know. I promise I'll do everything in my power to make sure no one recognizes either of us before we get there. I know plenty of tricks to get us there safely. Furthermore, I'm not asking you to tell the guys who you are to me. We can just say we're friends. But I really just want you to meet them at least. They're really cool and they'll love you, trust me."

Namjoon gently takes your hand in his, lifting it up to press soft kisses to your knuckles. You couldn't help but melt a little at his tender touch. He looks back up at you and smiles. "At least think about it, okay? If you still don't want to when I leave tomorrow then I'll drop it." Even though you knew it would mean the world to him if you tagged along, you were still very grateful that he was also willing to wait until you were ready. You nod, returning the smile. "I will. Thank you."

And indeed you did. It kept you up a little later than you usually would stay up, outweighing the pros and cons of finally going out and introducing yourself to Namjoon's friends. After a long night, you turn over and cuddle close to the already asleep popstar, finally finding yourself drifting off to sleep content with your decision.

- - -

"I'll go."

The way Namjoon's face lights up at your words makes you feel even more sure of your decision. You'd have to meet his friends eventually, right? So just go for it. Besides, as long as you were with him, you knew everything would be okay.

Your boyfriend wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you in a tight hug from behind as you finish making your breakfast. "Thank you baby. I promise you won't regret this. But if you do ever want to go home, just tell me and I'll take you back, okay?" You nod as he pecks a few chaste kisses against your cheek, which elicits a giggle out of you. After the two of you finished your breakfast and got dressed for the day, you both head out to a studio where you were meeting today. Apparently it belonged to one of his friends, Yoongi if you remember right.

You were a little nervous, and even though Namjoon texted the guys ahead of time and told them he'd bring a guest with him, you couldn't help but gently squeeze his hand anxiously. He looks down at you and offers you a gentle smile, one that helps you ground yourself before you spiral down a path of anxiety. It doesn't take much longer before the two of you are standing in the building of the studio.

After going up a level of stairs and down a hallway, you find yourself in front of a door. "Min Yoongi" was on a plaque that hung on the door. You turn to Namjoon, who looks around the hallway to make sure the coast is clear before giving you a quick, reassuring kiss. It definitely helps. After taking one deep breath, you open the door and walk in.

- - -

Out of everyone you met, the one person you definitely hit it off with was Jin. The two of you had been talking since the moment you walked in. Admittedly, it was partially due to the fact that during your viewings of the Run BTS episodes, you knew for a fact that you wanted to talk to Jin. The way he tries to keep respect because he's the oldest while also being one of the most childish people in the group was absolutely adorable and hilarious. Which, in its own way, is funny considering how much of a parental figure he really is to the rest of them, especially the three youngest. And it really seemed like he enjoyed your company too. Not like everyone else didn't, in fact, they were all really sweet and funny guys.

It has been a couple hours now since you arrived. You and Jin were practically attached at the hip, joking about anything with the others, making fun of the guys when they do something stupid, and just generally having a good time. It was such a relief that they made you feel comfortable. It didn’t feel like you had hijacked their group and added yourself in; you are a part of the group now. And Jin was especially accommodating.

After a while of hanging, you were getting a little hungry. Jin notices you staring at the empty candy bowl on the table for just a little bit too long. “You alright? Do you need anything to eat?” You look up at him and smile. “Oh, yeah. That would be nice. Thank you.” Jin smiles and gets up to grab you some snacks. In that moment by yourself, you decide to check up on your boyfriend. You didn't mean to go this long without saying something to him, but things just turned out that way. As you looked over to him, you noticed that he looked a little off. Namjoon was slightly slouched in his chair, arms folded over his chest as he listened in on Yoongi and Jimin's conversation, the corners of his pretty lips turned down into a frown.

Before you could catch his attention and ask him if he was alright, Jin came back from the kitchen with a nice assortment of snacks, sitting back down next to you. “Thanks, Jin.” You reach out to the table and grab one of the snack bars. Jin nods as he leans back on the couch. "So, how long have you and Joon known each other? We usually know most of the other guy's outside friends and we've never heard from you before."

"Yeah, well we only met a couple months ago. I guess that it just never came up. But he invited me to come out here today, and I'm very thankful that you guys have seemed to accept me into your group." Jin smiles and runs a hand through his hair, fixing the stray strands. "You're a really amazing person Y/n, of course we'd let you hang out! I'm glad he brought you. It's no wonder you and Namjoon became friends. Hopefully we can all get to know you as well as he does." You couldn't help but laugh a little under your breath, knowing no one was gonna know you as well as Namjoon does. "I'm glad you feel that way. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with you guys more, if that's okay." 

"Of course that's okay! I love having you around, and I'm sure the others do too. You make a very nice addition to our little group. Your personality really lights up the room and you're nice to talk to, not to mention you're easy on the eyes." He winks. You laugh, pushing Jin's shoulder who simply laughs along with you.

"Dork! Flattery will get you nowhere. Not that I don't appreciate it." Jin shrugs, a knowing smirk on his lips. A loud groan grabs the attention of both of you, looking up at a clearly amused Jimin. "Get a room! Some of us want to talk in peace." He jokes as he shoves Jin to you, causing him to lose his balance and land with his head on your lap. More laughter erupts from the two of you as you roll your eyes and turn your head away from the others.

It was only at that moment that you actually got to steal a glance at Namjoon again. It didn't take a genius to realize that he wasn’t happy, except, you have never seen that kind of expression on his face before. You could see him biting the inside of his cheek and the line forming between his furrowed brows. He looks... bitter? No, no it's not that. More like he’s spiteful about something. Like he's trying to bite his tongue and keep himself composed, but the way he keeps clenching and relaxing his fists clearly shows otherwise.

He sees you looking at him, obviously confused by his demeanor, and simply rolls his eyes. He stands up and calmly walks out of the room. Honestly, that hurt you a little bit. He's never acted like this before, especially not towards you. You look around at the others, but no one seems to have noticed Namjoon’s exit nor how upset he seems to be. Without thinking, you gently lift Jin's head from your lap and get up off the couch to follow Namjoon outside the room, granting you some eyebrow raise from the others, especially Jin.

You walk out into the hallway, looking around before noticing your boyfriend leaning against the wall around the corner, back facing towards you. Cautiously, you walk up to him, keeping your voice quiet so as to not startle him. "Joon..? Hey, what's wrong? Why'd you leave-" Before you could finish your sentence, Namjoon turns around and quickly pulls you into a deep kiss. You squeak, not quite expecting the sudden affection. Before you could do anything in response, he pulled away, resting his forehead against your shoulder.

"Sorry, I just really needed that right now." You wrap your arms around him, gently playing with his hair. "Hey, it's okay honey. I’m just worried about you... Can you tell me what you're so upset about?" Your boyfriend looks up at you dumbfounded. "You really don't know...? You didn't see it?" You shake your head, brows furrowed in confusion. Namjoon shakes his head and lets out a breathy laugh, almost like he was relieved. "Jin's been flirting with you all day." It takes you a second to process what he said before you feel your face heat up in realization.

"What..? No, no he was just being nice. I just thought he was like that with everyone... Are you sure?" Namjoon laughs again before gently kissing your forehead. "Yes baby, I'm positive. Everyone saw it." You bury your face in your boyfriend's chest, hiding your shame. The fact that all of it went over your head made you feel like an idiot. "Oh my God, I'm so fucking stupid..."

"No, no you're not. And actually, I'm glad you didn't notice. It makes me feel a bit better." Now it was your turn to look up at him bewildered. "Why would that make you feel better?" 

"Uh... I may or may not have gotten a little jealous of you two." As soon as he says that, all the little dots slowly start connecting in your mind. "Really?" Namjoon sighs softly and rubs the back of his neck. "Yeah, and I really started to get frustrated at everything and myself. I didn't know I could feel that way, but I guess I'm just a protective person. Especially when it comes to you, baby. I'll do absolutely anything for you and to make you happy and keep you close to me." You couldn't help but smile at that last part. "And I was also mad at myself because I knew it wasn't yours or Jin's fault. It's not like we told anyone about us so I can't blame him for hitting on you, I'd do the same if we weren't already together. And I know you’d never do something like that to me. I just didn't like feeling angry at one of my best friends... I'm sorry. I was the one who said everything would be okay and now I'm messing things up."

You smile, gently wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him down for another soft kiss to let him know that everything was okay now. "So, that's why you were upset when you left, hmm?" Namjoon looks up at you and nods. "And is that why you kissed me like that when I followed you out here?" You tease, finding the whole situation quite amusing. He nods again, this time a little more sheepishly.

You coo at your boyfriend's embarrassment, leaning up and kissing his cheek. "You’re too cute. If you wanted a moment all to ourselves, you could have just asked honey.~" You wink, very satisfied with the flustered reaction you got. It wasn't hard to see the rose color that bloomed up on his cheeks, and his sudden speechlessness always made you giggle. You gently grab his hand and squeeze it, bringing him back down to Earth. "Come on, let's go back. We can't keep everyone waiting forever."

OHHH ALPHA SYDNEY WITH OMEGA KYLAR... Howls about it. How simple things seem when they're younger (probably before they present), how complicated it all gets as they grow up...

Sydney noticing Kylar being bothered by people in the library and going to do something about it, because barred from talking to them or not, Kylar doesn't look well (and part of Sydney still cares for them), full of cornered-animal fury but looking closer to collapse than they've ever seen, and the library is their responsibility, and they Can do something here, it'd be worse not to and surely the Lord would understand - only to be hit with the full force of Kylar's heat (preheat?) once they've shooed off the others, their heart that's already beating fast with the stress of confrontation speeding up for a different reason...

(The pure force of want that hits them frightens them. Their mouth starts to water, eyes dilate, they have to hold their cross to steady themself (maybe haven't ever been so close to an omega in heat before) - but they can't focus on that, can't afford to indulge the sinful thoughts and Kylar is still staring wide-eyed up at them and they can't, they need to get them somewhere safe, as much as part of them aches to lean in closer and scent them and mark them and take care of them, Kylar looks ill, they need to go to the nurse, or they need to go to Sirris, and and and...)

(God. And to be KYLAR here, cornered (yet again.) but knowing it's so much worse this time because they're going into heat, they're going to be vulnerable soon and these bastards can *smell* it on them, they have their pepper spray but they'd get another assault charge with so many witnesses - they just need to get away, to make sure they aren't followed, they need to get home and cobble together some nest to curl around their owl in, hide away in for a while and...

Suddenly they don't have to endure it anymore. They're being saved, someone's coming to their defense, and their heart jumps into their throat before they realize it's Sydney standing there with a ruler in hand, putting off pheromones Kylar never would've expected from them, actually talking to them again, for once, worrying about them... THE MIX OF EMOTIONS GETS ME!!!)

Whether either of Sydney's intentions pan out, or Kylar just runs away instead, Sydney ends up going home early, too. They feel distracted, feverish, they... God. They're beginning to get frustrated with their chastity belt, which is a mortifying thing to even think. They're clearly ill. (A/N: that's rough rut, buddy...) They can't stop thinking about it.

(Unbeknownst, Kylar might be having a very similar reaction in their own house.)

(BONUS: ohhh there is some connection to be drawn between scentmarking in omegaverse and body writing . Leaving a mark people can smell/see, whether just friendly or far more intimate...)

im dead and buried anon jesus christ i could kiss you omg

Kylar that night, feeling obviously conflicted, because, on one hand, that's Sydney, their former friend that hasn't talked to them in years, and reconnecting now of all times has to be a joke. But on the other hand... Sydney saved them, and that look in their eyes at that moment was, was just... Incandescent, as well as just purely indecent. The hot feeling in their gut won't go away, and every time they remember Sydney's face and the want in their eyes, Kylar can't help but grind on their plushie and bury themselves deeper in their nest.

They spend their whole heat just fantasizing about what could've happened in the library, desperately rutting into their pillows while picturing Sydney's face and body. Once the heat passes, they'll obviously have very mixed feelings, but in the moment, this is all that's getting them off. Imagining being Sydney's omega, having Sydney as their alpha, the life they could have... It's putting them in a trance.

Meanwhile, Sirris is getting worried, Sydney hasn't come out of their room for dinner and their voice is very strained when Sirris asks what's wrong. Maybe it's just sickness ? But what kind of sickness requires the help of the toolbox and lubricant ?

Once they're both ready to come back to school, Kylar is surprised to see Sydney waiting for them at the school entrance, and even more shocked when the latter quite literally douses them in their scent. They're too stunned to even think about getting away, and Sydney takes this opportunity to ruffle their hair and slip away with a smile. Surprisingly, they get bullied less the following days.

(oh man i had such a blast reading your ask i was literally jumping around thinking about this !!!)

pairing: steve harrington x eddie munson

word count: 3,285

warnings/what to expect: lost of fluff, robin is the captain of the ship, steve is very much in love, feelings are confessed, and guys are kissing, steve is bisexual in this, just steddie being happy, this is what really happens you can ignore whatever you saw in that shitty finale, ALSO:  this fic contains references to bisexuality being equal to “liking guys and girls” which totally leaves out non-binary people. i’m only keeping everything regarding sexuality and gender so archaic because this is set in the 80s and there wasn’t much understanding around these topics. i’m not trying to be biphobic or invalidate anyone that aren’t male or female, just adapting to what the characters might think given the time they live in

a/n: since we got queerbaited once again i wrote this to give us actually good queer content so i truly hope you enjoy and helps you feel better after what we had to go through <3

"You should go talk to him."

Steve was snapped back to reality when he heard Robin talking to him, taking a seat right next to him outside the van they just stole a few hours ago. She wasn't looking at him when he turned to face her, focusing on the scene Steve was just looking at before she walked up to him.

Dustin and Eddie were improvising a small battle in the middle of the empty field, shouting stuff Steve can only assume has to do with that board game the two are so obsessed about. He watches as Dustin shouts something, pretending to aim at Eddie, who immediately falls to the ground in an awfully theatrical death. Steve couldn't help the smile forming on his face when they both began laughing, the younger boy helping the other to stand up from the ground before Eddie is wrapping his arms around him in a bone-crushing hug. The scene was just too much for Steve to bare.

He used to feel to jealous about Eddie and Dustin's relationship. He felt replaced. Now? Now he wishes he could be there standing next to them on that field, pretending to be three knights in search of the monster to save their kingdom, being able to go back to the real world whenever they wanted to. Instead, they're just three random guys in a small town, about to hunt a real monster. This wasn't a game, no matter how badly Steve wishes for it to be. He can't pretend he's a knight about to go on some fictional adventure. This is real life.

But if only. If only he could be a brave knight joining his group of friends on a noble crusade. To slay their enemies and come out undefeated. Everyone will be save, and they can all go celebrate their triumph. If only Steve was able to fight side-by-side with Eddie, hunting down the monster together only to get almost captured by the evil creatures- almost, because Eddie would be there to save the day. To save him.

That's what was going on in his head before Robin interrupted. The perfect ending for a seemingly perfect story. The knight finally getting the other knight and living happily ever after. Not...whatever this was. Just a bunch of teens about to face the biggest threat they've faced so far with no way of knowing if they'll get a happy ending. The knight still terrified to confess his feelings to the other knight.

"What does that mean?" he asked after a few seconds in complete silence, acting like he had no idea what his best friend was talking about.

"Look, I know it's scary, but you have to say something before it's too late."

Steve didn't know what to say at first. "Like how you talked to Vickie?"

"Okay, I deserve that. But that is exactly why I'm trying to talk some sense into you!" she quickly argued. "I can't go back to Hawkins now to tell Vickie how I feel and it's quite literally killing me, because I don't know if I get the chance to tell her after all of this is over."

"Don't say that," Steve interrupted her little speech, frowning at the mere idea of Robin not making it. Of anyone not making it after they kill Vecna. Instantly and just like many other times before, his thoughts drifted to Eddie. What would he do if he doesn't make it. He won't allow that to happen, not before they can get their happy ending.

"I say it because it's true, Steve. We don't know if all of us are going to make it, so this could be your last chance to tell Eddie how you feel."

Tell Eddie how he feels. That's sounds much easier that what it truly is. Even Steve himself has struggled to fully understand what's been going on with him ever since Eddie Munson walked back into his life. He used to know him as nothing but a weirdo who got stuck in senior year, but now he's so much more than that, and it kills Steve to admit it.

To Robin everything made so much sense since the very beginning. The quick glances Steve would throw Eddie's way, even when he's not doing or saying anything. How Steve would get all nervous when Eddie comments something about him or even refers to him. It was evident for her that Steve was slowly falling for Eddie.

But Robin didn't push him to do any confessions or force him to accept something he was probably not ready to accept. She knows how difficult it can be coming to terms with one's true identity when you've grown up seeing nothing but people freaking out when someone is different like that. However, she was lucky enough to have good experiences during her journey of self-discovery, finding a friend that love her no matter who she's attracted to. It's Steve the one who was there for her when she felt completely alone, finding comfort and strength in him to love herself the way she is.

She wanted to be there for Steve just like he was there for her and she wanted to be just as good as he was. After telling him she likes girls, everything has always been on her terms and Steve continued to give her the space and time to talk to him about the situation whenever she needed it. So, she wanted to give Steve his space and come to her when he was ready.

And she was just over the moon when Steve was comfortable enough to trust her with this. He knew she would understand, and of course she was as supportive as he was when the roles were reversed.

"It's...weird," Steve had said to her that one night in the woods, before the group had to find the hidden portal under Lover's Lake. "I know I still like girls. I mean, I was clearly in love with Nancy when we were together, but...I guess I like guys, too? Does that even make sense?"

"Of course it does! There's plenty of people who like both."

"Really? Is that a thing?" he asked, more relieved to hear he's not the only one that feels like that. "I just thought you could like one. Like, maybe...maybe I was just confused or I was just tricking myself into believing I liked girls when I only liked guys..."

"Pretty sure you can like one, all, or even no one," she interrupted, trying to calm him down. "Thing is, everyone is different. And your experience is not less important or less valid because it's not the conventional i-like-guys or i-like-girls type of thing. It's okay to be somewhere in between."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, I've been thinking about this for a while and...I'm pretty sure I like both."

Robin smiled at his statement. "I'm happy for you, Steve. And you know I'll always be there for you," she says, trying not to get all emotional on him right now. "Except when you start liking a guy, I have no idea what to do in those cases."

Steve laughs at her last comment, looking down at his shoes as he did. "Well, about that...I, uh..."

"Okay, hold up," she interrupted, visibly excited to be hearing all of this. "Okay, I know I just said don't talk to me about boys but let's ignore I said that and please talk to me."

That made Steve smile, though he was still unable to look at Robin. He was just too nervous to do that. Instead, he looked ahead at the lake. "I think it's pretty obvious where this is going..."

"Oh, I know exactly where this is going, I just want to hear it from you."

"I've been thinking about the whole me-liking-boys thing recently because...I- I think I might like one?"

"You think you like one?"

"I do. I do like one," he quickly corrected. "Shit, I like one a lot."

"Well, I doubt it's Keith we're talking about here..." she started, making Steve visibly frown at her for hinting he would ever like someone like Keith. "So that would leave us with..."

"Hey, you two!" they were interrupted by the voice of Eddie. They both turned around to see the entire group waiting for them by the boat they were using to get to the portal. "Chat all you want after we find this stupid portal, okay?"

Robin immediately turned to look at Steve. "Your boyfriend looks kinda mad so we better go."

"Yeah," Steve agreed, following after her before he quickly realized what she actually said. "And he's not my boyfriend, Robin."

"Not yet!" she replied, walking faster to join the rest of the group, ending their conversation there.

Steve was awfully quiet, finally turning to look at Robin. "It's not that easy and you know it," he insisted. "It's like you said. We ask the wrong people and it's over for us."

"And like you said, I don't think Eddie is the wrong guy. Have you seen the way he looks at you?"

"You're just saying that because you're my friend."

"Believe me, I'm not," she quickly argued, leaning closer to him. "Steve, he's crazy about you. I wouldn't be saying this if I wasn't sure about it."

"He...he is?" Steve asks timidly, once again watching as Dustin and Eddie continued their imaginary battle.

"Yes! Trust me, he's too obvious. I'll be surprised if no one else has realized about it by now."

Steve was considering his options. It's not entirely false what Robin is claiming right now. He has noticed a few signs himself. How Eddie is always throwing ironic comments his way that could easily be seen as flirting when you don't think about the fact that they're two guys talking to each other. Or how quick he was to give him his jacket. Or how often he would catch Eddie looking his way the entire time he had his jacket on.

That seemed to encourage Robin, thinking she could have a chance to convince him. "You can't miss this chance to tell him, Steve. Whatever happens, it's better to try than not saying anything at all."

"How come you're so good at this, yet your love life is so screwed up?"

"It's called self-sabotage, dingus. It's like my biggest personality trait," Robin replied. "So, does this mean I convinced you?"

Steve shrugged. "I guess I can give it a try."

"Holy shit, I wasn't expecting this to work!" she visibly freaks out, excitedly standing up from her seat. "Are you going to talk to him now? Should I tell him to come over here? Oh, I can tell him I need something and then he follows me here and then I say some silly excuse like-"

"Robin," he says gently.

"I'm doing it again, right? The fast-talking thing...sorry. I'll go help Erica and Lucas and leave you to it."

"Don't be weird about this, okay? And if this doesn't work out you'll have to start taking the bus to school."

"And if it does work out, you have to be my driver for three months. Not just drive me to school, but anywhere I want."

"You know what? Deal."

"A deal it is," she said as she started to walk away. However, she stopped to turn around for a brief second, "I really hope this works, though. Not just so I can have a personal chauffeur, but because you two would look insanely cute together."

"You're being weird," Steve warned.

Robin lifts both of her hands up in the air, continuing to walk away to leave Steve alone. When it was just him, his attention focused back on Eddie and Dustin. Before he could regret it, he stood up and walked up to the two of them.

"Hey, look what we made!" Dustin says excitedly, showing Steve the weapon they created. A shield made with a trash can lid and nails.

"Looks good, man," Steve said, not really caring about that right now. His heart was beating rapidly as he turned to look at Eddie. "Can we talk?" Both Eddie and Dustin exchanged a look, beyond confused as to what was going on. Eddie looked back at Steve and shrugged, waiting for him to continue. "Uh, alone?" he had to clarify, feeling more embarrassed than ever in his entire life.

"Yeah, sure," was Eddie's response, standing up from the ground to follow Steve back to the van.

When Steve turned around, he noticed Dustin still looking their way with a confused look and Robin occasionally turning around to see what they were doing. Clearly, this wasn't what he had in mind when he said he wanted to "talk with Eddie alone".

"Can-can we...?" he asks, titling his head to the van.

Eddie didn't reply, simply walking forward to open the door of the van, waiting for Steve to walk inside before he did, closing the door behind him. All Steve could focus was the fact that Eddie just opened the door for him. And waited for him to walk inside first. He shouldn't have done that, so why bother? Why he felt like doing that? Oh, this was going to be very difficult.

Steve noticed Eddie leaning against the now closed door, arms crossed across his chest as he waited for him to say something. After all, it was him the one who wanted to talk. "You're scaring me, Harrington," he says after realizing Steve wasn't going to say anything. "What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you because...since we're going after Vecna and all...I- I thought this was the right time to tell you that I..."

Eddie's arms fall to each side of his body as Steve begins talking, looking more like he was expecting something than trying to figure out what was going on. "Yes?" he asks gently, the tone making Steve's heart almost skip a beat.

His mind was racing. It's not fair he's leaning against the door looking so incredibly pretty with his ripped jeans and long messy hair and those rings that look just so good on him and his eyes staring back at his own. How is he supposed to talk right now and not get lost in such beautiful eyes? How can he act normal when he is standing in front of him looking so painfully gorgeous? How is he supposed to think his next words when all he can think about is those ringed fingers holding his face while they share a much-awaited kiss?

"Hey," Eddie insisted, snapping Steve back to reality. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just...there's a lot in my mind," he muttered, feeling his cheeks beginning to burn, which only helped to get him even more nervous. "I wanted to talk to you because in case anything happens to us, I needed you to know that I like you."

Eddie froze in his spot, not knowing what to say at first. He was in complete disbelief, never in a million years expecting Steve to say something like that. "I guess you're okay too, dude?" he says, testing his luck before saying something incriminating.

"No, I don't mean it like that! I mean, I like you, like you. As in...more than friends?"

For a moment, Steve thought he screwed up. Because Eddie was standing there without saying anything and it was impossible for him to tell if that was a good thing or not. Eventually, he relaxed just a little when he noticed Eddie approaching him, though the fact that he was standing much closer now almost made his knees tremble.

It was only when Eddie was standing right in front of Steve that a smile appeared on his lips. "You like me?" he asks.

"I...yeah, I just said that..." Steve stutters, too nervous to properly reply.

"Say it again," Eddie pleaded.

After a brief silence, Steve replied with a barely audibly, "I like you." He could feel Eddie's hand gently cupping the side of his face, which only encouraged Steve to repeat, "I like you."

Eddie was dangerously close to him right now, his thumb softly caressing his cheek, their nose practically rubbing together and his lips almost touching his. The sensation of their bodies so close made Steve wrap his arms around Eddie's body, needing to have him fully pressed against his own. He wondered if Eddie could feel his heartbeats right now, truly hoping he was so he could get an idea of the power he holds over him.

"Again," Eddie whispers, their lips practically touching now.

"I like you, Eddie Munson," Steve complied, praying that would make him earn the kiss.

And that was exactly what happened, because as soon as he heard those words, Eddie crashed his lips against Steve's. It was obvious to them that both were waiting for this moment for a while now. It could be proven by the way Steve would hold him so impossibly close to his body, or how Eddie was practically holding onto his arm as they kissed, as if he was afraid Steve would move away.

Kissing Eddie is everything Steve was expecting and more. He's surprisingly gentle but so incredibly passionate it was hard for Steve to keep himself under control. The kiss was just so...Eddie. Like the type of kisses only he can give. Kisses envolved with such fierce, yet so soft. They were nothing but the representation of what Eddie Munson is. A seemingly intimidating and mean guy who carries the most precious soul. A freak with a heart of gold.

Steve never imagined a kiss would make him fall ten times harder for someone, yet here comes Eddie to once again prove to him that he knows absolutely nothing at all.

The kiss lasted just a few seconds, and for the two of them is has become the best moment of their lives. Eddie just couldn't seem to get enough of him, leaning closer to kiss Steve again, a gesture he gladly accepted. When they finally pulled away, Steve didn't let go of Eddie's body as he still held him close. Eddie move his hand away from Steve's face only to wrap both of his arms around his neck, one of his hands starting to play with the hair at the back of his head.

"So...that means you like me too?" Steve tried, still feeling his cheeks burning.

"I guess you can say that," Eddie grinned. "You have no idea how badly I wanted to kiss you."

"You did?"

"All the time," he replied. "I was practically throwing myself at you, you idiot."

"Wait, really? How come you never said anything before?"

"Yeah, I was about to confess my feelings for you in front of all your friends," he replied ironically. "I thought I was being obvious enough."

"Well, I'm terrible at reading signs so...no more of that, please. And-and don't call me Harrington anymore, it feels weird."

"What would you like me to call you, then?" Eddie asked, laughing at Steve when he saw his reaction after such question. "God, you're adorable."

Steve was evidently still very flustered, so after getting teased like that he made the gesture of letting go of Eddie, only for him to pull him closer, hugging him tightly. "I'm not," Steve protested, though accepted the hug anyway.

"You are," Eddie argued. "And I can't wait to remind you every single day."

That last comment made Steve smile, "every single day, huh?"

"Every single day," Eddie repeated.

"Honestly, I kinda like the sound of that."

Neither of them said anything else, not like there was a need to say anything when they can just stay in each other's arms for as long as they could before having to let go. To spend as much time as they could like this to make up for all the time they lost admiring each other in silence.

And for once, Steve let go of his worries about Vecna. All that really matters to him is the fact that he's here, right now, with Eddie. The knight finally getting the knight. The happy ending he so desperately wanted to have.

Fathers.

"Well hello there instructor."

"Admiral." Y/N replied, entering her father's office. "How you been?"

"Oh you know, being scolded by your mother and then making it up to her by a beautiful present."

"So the usual?" She said, smiling.

"Yes."

"It's good to see you dad." She said giggling.

"It's good to see you too kid." Replied Iceman. The Admiral was seated in his chair, smiling at his daughter as she was facing him, grinning.

"So how's the tranjng going?" He questioned.

"It's going." Y/N replied vaguely.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked again.

"It's just difficult dad. All there time I'm the Navy, they've been told they're the best of the best and now they've started to believe it. It's annoying, they're over confident, they're cocky, they can't do anything properly, they risk their damn lives just in training so I have no clue how they'll survive the actuall mission, they pick up fights with each other and they are just a pain in my ass." Ranted the younger Krasinski.

"Who is he?" Asked Tom, smirking one has saw his daughters flushed face.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Nah, father's just know everything." He replied. "Now tell me who he is."

"Lieutenant Jake 'Hangman' Seresin." She replied.

"Nice callsign. Reminds me of someone else's." Her father said.

"Yes, I know it's quite similar to yours. His behavior is as well."

"How so?"

"He is just as over confident as you, a huge player and a mess. He also picks up fights." She answred, leaning more into her chair.

"Who did he offend?" The older Krasinski asked, intrigued by his daughters love life.

"Rooster."

"That's him?" He said in surprise.

"You know about him?"

"Mav told me."

"Of course, your second wife." Teased Y/N.

"First actually, I met your mother after him." He went along with it, making Y/N laugh out loud. He could see the happiness on her face, it was still the same.

He remeberd seeing this look for the first time when Maverick had taken her on a joyride on his motorcycle. Neither her miter or Tom were supportive of this idea, but after much pleading by both Y/N and uncle Mav, they agreed, and they were quite happy they did. Cause for the first time in her life had she ever smiled like that. They had only seen this look on her three times, this being the third.

"How'd you meet?"

"At the hard deck. He hit on me using this awful, awful song and then followed me into the bathroom to stop me from making a mistake with Mav and have sex with him." Y/N recalled the night she had met the guy fondly.

"Which song?"

"You've lost that loving feeling."

"Oh that'd ones a player." Replied Iceman, recalling having seen this trick once before.

"He is, but I'm not risking anything."

"If he make you happy, taking a risk is fine." He dad said.

"That's the thing dad, I don't know what he make me feel." Whined Y/N.

"You'll figure it out." Her dad said getting up slowly. "Now let's go have dinner before you mother kills us both and we never get to see the end of your story."

"I can tell you the end now." Y/N said, getting up as well and putting her arm on her father's shoulder as she helped hin out of the room. He had gotten weeker than before, but she wouldn't admit it

"And give me a spoiler." He fake gasped, making Y/N smile at her dad. The last smile she'd ever give him.

Enjoy!

They've had their eyes on y/n for a long while now.

Yunho and mingi are of course in a relationship with eachother but the two of them have had secret feelings for him that they've kept from eachother, being afraid of ruining their own relationship that they've had for years. They both love y/n as much as they love eachother but none of them have ever given any hints of being okay with polyamory, imagine loving someone for so long but never getting a chance to tell them because you already have someone who loves you.

They didn't want to break up of course it's just they have so much love in their hearts that sometimes even they can't handle it, when y/n is with them they can't help but get all lovey dovey with him, small little romantic touches are exchanged, compliments are said with more meaning then they seem at first. all go unnoticed under the three of their eyes but to the rest of ateez its clear to them.

They'll always try to push them to do more intimate things with y/n but they've always pushed back and said they were only friends with him and continue to hide the feelings the two of them share, it's sad for the boys to watch them just go on knowing that their are some things that they aren't talking to eachother about especially since mingi and yunho's problems are both something that they both agree on.

And even when they try to tell themselves that it's just a small phase and that they'll eventually just stop feeling that way about y/n that's when they keep finding reasons to love him more. deep down mingi just wants to have a loving relationship with the boys he loves most, and yunho wants to be able to tell mingi how he feels about y/n without fear. But they both have one thing in common that's keeping them from doing those things,

they both have the anxiety of them breaking up and never being the same as they were again.

y/n also has feelings for mingi and yunho but he's never told them out of worry that they'll think that he has some sort of perverted fantasy about being with them when he really just wants to go out with them, hold their hands and even fall asleep in the comfort and safety of yunho and mingi's arms.

Heaven for him is yunho and mingi and if he can't tell them how he feels, it'll only keep hurting more then it already does.

to him they're his family and home.

One afternoon yunho and mingi were getting ready for a little lunch date when as soon as they opened the door y/n was there "oh sorry, the boys called me over and im not sure why" he said standing in the frame of the door. yunho knows whats going on and looks to the rest of his members and they all try to act natural but it fails miserably and they all look extremely suspicious, but before yunho could tell y/n that the boys were probably just goofing around mingi speaks up "we were actually just heading out to lunch, you wanna come join us?" y/n turns light peach at mingi's question, not wanting to bother them "only if it's okay with you guys" y/n and mingi look at yunho they're eyes full of pleas. yunho thought about it for a minute wanting him to come with them but also not wanting mingi to feel upset if he gets touchy with y/n "yeah it's okay, ya ready?" "Yep" he responded eagerly,

"Hold on" san came over to them before they closed the door "what place are you guys going to?" "you know the place down the street right?, cause it's not that far" mingi responed to san, san now understanding where they're going "have fun you three!" san waved at them as he closed the door. an idea formed in his head that put a mischievous smile on his face "what is it this time?" hongjoong yawned probably from having stayed up too late last night "oh nothing, just that maybe we could check and see how well their little date is gonna go" "ya know what, that's the only plan you've had that I actually agree with" seonghwa walked over to them crossing his arms. this soon caught the attention of the others "honestly they're all so in love with eachother it almost angers me, like why can't they just date y/n already" wooyoung half shouted putting his arm on hongjoong's shoulder.

"so what?, we just go in the back of the cafe and watch them unknowingly flirt with eachother?" jongho questioned not looking away from his phone "don't you want to see our little mingi and yunho happy?" everyone thought about it for a moment not wanting to bust in on their date and ruin it from the three of them but also wanting the best for them. Seonghwa spoke up at last "alright then let's go, we don't wanna waste any more time" everyone scrambled to the car and drove off to yunho, mingi and y/n's date.

Ateez successfully arrived to the cafe before the trio could and sat in the back and ordered some coffees and pastrys(just because your spying on people doesn't mean you should take up space without ordering) and wait.

The trio arrive and sit down at a table a good distance from the members, chatting to eachother and choking on they're food when one of them makes them laugh and having a good time overall it was nice to see it. They're all so close and comfortable with eachother it warms the boys hearts seeing them in pure bliss. mingi can't help but just stare at y/n in awe of him loving how imperfectly perfect his was until he looks back at him "are you okay mingi?" he questioned his face colored pink and breaking eye contact with him "yep, totally fine" mingi responed looking away embarrassed by the situation he just put himself in, yunho laying back and watching this unfold he can't help but let out a small laugh because of how cute he thought the two of them were.

The two notice his laugh as yunho holds both of their hands and looks to y/n "im glad you came with us, you're amazing" he says in the most sincere way he can holding y/n's hand up to his face, y/n's face getting increasingly more red. "now kiss" wooyoung whispered pushing his fingers together to make it look like they kiss, mingi looks at yunho feeling insecure that he might be more interested in y/n then him, yunho looks back at mingi and realizes what he's doing and quickly lets go of y/n "as our friend of course, sorry" he shyed away from him a bit "it's okay" y/n and yunho smiled at eachother then looked back at mingi "you alright baby?" yunho gives mingi a peck on his cheek "I need attention too you know" mingi joked and playfully slapped his arm before yunho gave him another quick kiss on his lips, the both of them laughing after he pulled away "im glad im not a third wheel to you guys" y/n laughed with them.

Both mingi and yunho thought about his words for a second in the moment, they both wonder 'why are we both so comfortable with being romantic to y/n?' 'is he more then just a friend?' 'is he more then someone who just joins in on our dates?' but those were thoughts they wonder about later, when they have time to themselves.

"I swear to fuck take a HINT-" hongjoong was immediately shushed by the others when he rises his voice making the trio look back for a second not knowing they were the rest of ateez before continuing with their conversation. "looks like we've all finished eating, did you guys wanna go somewhere else?" y/n suggested switching his gaze back and forth between yunho and mingi.

"this might sound kinda dumb but, I was think we could drive up to this hill and like watch the sunset, if you guys want to" mingi responed his face getting pink and avoiding eye contact "yeah that sounds cool" "alright then i'll pay the check, you both can get in the car" yunho and mingi get in the car, y/n following behind after paying. "I guess that's our queue, let's roll" but before wooyoung could get up yeosang held him back "just give them 5 minutes, then we'll go" wooyoung sat back down crossing his arms like a grumpy toddler.

The trio pulled up to that hill mingi was talking about and sat down next to the edge, it was more then beautiful just the view of seoul with its bright city lights and the setting sun in the horizon "wow" was all y/n could say as he took in the view "I love it up here" yunho said while sitting next to him with mingi on y/n's other side. mingi reached for y/n's hand to which he took it while his other hand took yunho's. y/n has crashed yunho and mingi's dates in the past but today felt different for all them, all of the trios feelings that they have for eachother since mingi and yunho started dating feel stronger then ever.

"today was fun, but now I feel tired" y/n said dramatically falling back on the grass beneath him "i had a really great time too, even though it wasn't much" mingi added laying back as well "I guess just spending time with people can be more exciting then doing a million things" yunho responed being the last one to lay back and relax. meanwhile ateez have successfully snuck around silently watching and smiling as they see mingi and yunho look so at peace with everything around them. when the three look up at the sky they can see all of the stars start to come out along with the small crescent moon that was right above them, slowly covering the sky as the sun went down. they all wish this could last for eternity, but the most beautiful things always have an end to them.

As the two boys enter the dorm after their date they're met with their members sitting in the living room with san on one of the chairs stroking shiber on his lap "so, how was he?" san questioned with a smug look on his face "um he was nice??" mingi responed confused as to what he meant when he said that "come on, you two can just say you both like him" yunho and mingi both simultaneously feel their faces heat up "stop saying that san!, he's just a friend!" yunho shouted face redder then the actual color as he went to his room and mingi went to his.

"They're a match made in heaven" seonghwa swooned imaging what the trios future with eachother could be like.

After yunho finishes putting on some more comfortable clothes he lays on his bed, his mind filled with y/n he couldn't stop thinking about him and his love for him and mingi. which leads him back to those thoughts he had earlier in day but this time he knew the answers. and no matter how hard he tried to stuff it down, no matter what he would do to try to forget,

he knew that y/n was more then someone who their joined dates.

Mingi was finishing up and getting ready to sleep when he thought more about what happened today, all of those thoughts he had started to come back to him, how affectionate yunho was with y/n and the things he said about him. mingi's brain was spilt in two, maybe yunho might also love y/n just like mingi does. or in the worst case scenario yunho might break up with him because he loves y/n more.

The thought of yunho breaking up with him causes tears to form in his eyes and start to spill over cheeks, mingi prays that yunho won't break up their relationship as that thought still looms over him.

Yunho heads over to mingi's room and mingi wipes his tears away before he could see them "you wanna cuddle baby?" mingi nods his head sleepily as yunho guides him to the bed, he lays down first and lets mingi climb up into the crook of his neck "goodnight my pretty boy" yunho whispers to mingi putting his lips on his for a second before putting his head back on top of mingi's as the two drift off to sleep for the night.

As the days went by like usual the love triangle began to find themselves spending more and more time with eachother ever since that date that y/n joined.

But with mingi almost feeling, left behind. like yunho just left him while he has more attention on y/n. and it didn't help that he would sometimes give y/n a kiss on the cheek or forehead during or after the date. he hadn't told yunho for awhile now but over time it just became more and more unbearable. especially since the members invited him to stay the night which he accepted.

That day mingi decided that he would confront yunho about how close he was getting to y/n, when suddenly as he was walking toward the room yunho was in he heard him talking to san and yeosang. "come on yunho, im not interrogating you for nothing" san said raising his eye brow at him silence fell down on them for a few moments before yeosang spoke up. "you're gonna have to tell mingi you know" he spake in a worried tone having seen them hide both of their feelings for y/n for so long now. mingi's chest began to tighten he didn't want to assume what yunho had been hiding from him but deep down somewhere where even he didn't know, he knew what he was hiding. y/n saw mingi from behind up against the door of the room yunho was in, yeosang and san were in as he began to eavesdrop on they're conversation too mingi jolting at y/n suddenly appearing behind him but careful not to make any noise. yunho glances at the two boys in front of him with fear and disorder in his eyes "you guys don't understand, I don't want to risk breaking his heart, I love him too much" he responded tearfully holding himself as the anxiety of breaking up came back to trap his heart.

"Hey yunho it's okay, just calm down and try saying it to us first" san said in a relaxing tone in an attempt to get yunho out of his head and helped him take some deep breaths. yunho picked himself back up and faced yeosang and san "okay good now pretend you're talking to mingi" yeosang led on, yunho closed his eyes as he took another deep breath opening them back up as he glanced at san who smiled at him with his thumbs up.

Yunho began to fluster up but still managed to blurt out "I think I might be in love with y/n!". mingi's heart began to burn up with the pain he felt by yunho's words, mingi thought that he was right, yunho didn't love him anymore, yunho didn't want him anymore. his eyes filled with giant tears as he silently cried carefully covering his mouth so that they wouldn't hear him. y/n felt a wave of guilt and shame wash over him, he didn't want yunho to just love him, he just wanted the the three of them to be together but now he thought that he was the reason they're going to break apart, he couldn't but also began to cry with mingi. "okay!, now go out there and tell him yourself!" san said in a determined tone "umm, alright!" yunho responed still feeling nervous but with a little more confidence this time.

Yunho headed for the door ready to talk to mingi and finally tell him how he feels. but to his horror when he opened the door he saw sad, crying mingi and y/n looking at him wide eyed after realizing they had been caught.

"W-wait mingi I can explain really!" yunho tried to defend himself coming out of the door frame and mingi standing to face him properly "I don't think I can do this anymore too yunho, im sorry" mingi rushed back to his room locking it behind him as he sank to the floor and crying feeling overwhelmed with despair. y/n stared blankly at the floor before for just a moment "I didn't mean to do this, you both deserve to be happy without me!" he quickly got his shoes going out the door making his way home with tears still in his eyes thinking his love for them was ripping the both of them up and that he was the cause of this. yunho stood there frozen with shock 'why did they both have to be right there' he thought to himself as he began to feel the same sort of heart burning sensation mingi was feeling, 'how am I going to fix this' he stumbled on his bed holding his face in his hands trying to not become a sobbing mess.

San and yeosang sat down next on each side of him, both rubbing his back to help him calm down. "its gonna be okay, just go talk to him" "you heard what he said, he's not going to forgive me that easily" san put his hands on yunho's cheeks Turing his head to face him "you love them right?!" yunho nodded "well don't give up, go talk to them they'll understand" yunho wiped the tears out of his eyes "what if they both dont want to be polyamorous?" "oh trust me, I've been watching your gay ass shit show for years now, y'all are IN love" he took a second to look at yeosang who smiled at him patting his shoulder. "just tell them how you feel, okay?" yunho got up heading to the door giving the two of them a small smile.

He knocked on the door of seonghwa's room, which mingi had ran into. "can I come in?, I really need to talk to you" he heard mingi's footsteps come toward the door, he unlocked the door and quickly jumped back on the bed. yunho steps inside the room and sees mingi curled up in a blanket his eyes puffed and watery, he looks away when he notices yunho starring at him. yunho sits himself down right next to mingi and puts a hand on his back "what is it?" mingi let out tears still streaming down his cheeks "i've messed up, alot on my wording that was a really shit way to say how I feel and im sorry" he started looking down away from mingi who was now looking back at him trying to decipher what he REALLY meant "do you wanna know how I really feel?" yunho glanced at him with flushed cheeks, mingi put his hand on yunho's shoulder "go on" yunho turned to properly face him intertwining his hands with mingi's. "I wanna be in a relationship with you and y/n" he began looking at mingi who was still listening "and I swear that everyday I'll spend with you and him, I'll never pick a favorite and love you guys the same" he looked back at mingi again seeing new tears taking shape in eyes, yunho was about to go back on his words and say that he'll only love him but he then started laughing?.

Why is he laughing?? yunho thought mingi rubbing the tears out of his eyes "oh my god, ah im so dumb all this time I thought you only loved y/n and not me" mingi took a second to breathe covering his mouth with one of his hands the other one still holding yunho's. "wait do you feel the same way!?" yunho was shocked learning that mingi would be okay with adding y/n to the relationship. mingi raised his head back up to look at yunho "of course, i've been wanting to date you and y/n for a while now too" he responded squeezing yunho's hand, they both embraced eachother tightly laughing with one another. yunho was seeing stars and feeling butterflies all over himself he thought that this was something he couldn't have in life (thanks to toxic monogamy) but they both didn't have to worry anymore. oh expect about how y/n was doing.

"Should we go to y/n and tell him how much we love him" "yes, definitely" they both got their shit and headed for the door "where are you guys going now?" hongjoong shouted from the back of the living room "no time to explain we gotta tell our boyfriend we love him" they swiftly head out the door hearing the members rejoice with happiness that they now would finally be able to attend a wedding someday.

The duo ran over to y/n's door knocking eager to see him. as he opened the door they noticed how puffed up his eyes were and the big sweater he wore clinging to the ends if his sleeves with his hands. "what are you two-" yunho and mingi both threw y/n into an hug making them stumble back into y/n's house and closing the door. the two pull away from y/n their arms still around him looking at y/n worryingly "are you okay?" mingi asks him wiping the tears falling down his face and y/n melting into his touch "im so sorry" he began to cry more tears, yunho and mingi both guided y/n to one of the couches in his living room and sat him down between them "you don't have to be sorry about anything y/n" yunho held his waist and put his head on top of his "we've talked about it, it's all good now" mingi took y/n's hand in his and pecked his cheek, y/n blushed softly feeling less depressed now that his crushes were here. "what did you two talk about?" y/n said looking up at them wondering what made get back together so quickly. the boys straightened themselves each now holding y/n's hands with the two of getting pink in their cheeks again.

"What, what is it?" y/n questioned genuinely not knowing why they were so nervous. mingi took a deep breath be answering "y/n, can we be in a relationship with you?" they both stared at him with pleading eyes. "we already talked about it so you don't need to worry" yunho put his free hand on y/n's cheek caressing it softly. "really?" he responded feeling tears take shape as he leaned into yunho's touch. "duh you're so cool, why wouldn't we love you?" mingi said hugging y/n's side yunho joining in "he's right, we really do love you" they both kiss him on his cheeks as y/n starts to happy cry while giggling from the affection of the two on his sides as they began to attack his face with more kisses.

then his tears stopped when yunho and mingi's lips were just barely inches apart from his, they all froze in that position for a moment none of them knowing what to do. "can we kiss you?" the duo asked in sync, y/n nodded as he put each of his hands on one of their cheeks. they all put their lips together as any feelings of doubt, fear and anxiety had began to disappear before them. none of them had ever three way kissed before but it was a new happy feeling that they all welcomed in with open hearts. the three pulled away with warm smiles on their faces as they each looked lovingly at eachother.

"Now that we're dating, im starting to think that all the things I said on those dates weren't so straight" y/n said his face going pink with embarrassment "no one in the poly cule is straight honey" yunho laughed as the other two joined in.

This was it, this is what they wanted for what seemed like millennia and it was finally there's. and as laughter filled the room they shared, they all knew,

That they didn't have to worry anymore about what anyone had to say.

Thanks for reading!. I hope this made your day at lest a little better, i've been wanting to make a polyam fic for awhile but I couldn't decide what group for some time. so I hope this was good because I feel pretty proud of it.

[thatturtleleon]

OMG I am soooooo sorry!! I meant for tfp Airachnid x arcee x fem human reader! My bad 😅😅😅😅 That was totally on me lol

It's still cool if you can't! And if you can't some genreal fluff hc's with tfp arcee and her human s/o will be fine! Thank you and have a good day/night!!!!!

Note: Lol ur good!! I've never explored this ship before so hopefully these are ok! You have a wonderful day/night as well <3

TFP Airachnid x Arcee x Fem! Reader hcs:

*cracks knuckles* alright lets get started

first of all, these two bots are definitely more on the reserved "I work alone" side

Airachnid spent most of her life going solo, collecting alien species after she left the Decepticons, and Arcee doesn't do well with people, and is constantly dealing with the trauma of losing her past partners

(In this situation we'll pretend Airachnid wasn't involved in any of Arcee's trauma)

however, when you arrive in the picture, they found themselves drawn to you

they began to enjoy your company more and tagged along side you in missions

Airachnid was offered to join team Prime, but she refused, claiming she wanted to remain solo but was still open to helping out only if the team really needed it

that being said, you and Arcee noticed she "just happened" to be free to assist you guys on a mission, especially when it was going to be just you three

very soon the three of you were together almost all of the time, they felt comfortable around you and each other

you felt comfortable around them as well, every time they let you ride around while they were in one of their vehicle modes, you felt perfectly safe

eventually you all confessed to each other on a mission after being badly injured

that incident made them realize how fragile humans were compared to Cybertronians, and how quickly someone special could be taken away from them

it's safe to say they were more than happy to know that you had feelings for them as well

I imagine the others hearing about the news and making a little sign that said "congrats girlfriends!!" or something cute like that <3

dates include laying down together after a long day and looking up at the stars, each of you taking turns pointing out different constellations and telling stories

Airachnid likes to show you and Arcee around her ship, eagerly explaining all of the different species she's collected over the years

if you have a hobby you really enjoy, they'd nod and listen carefully as you talk about it

although, you could be talking about something as boring as a potato and they'd still be 100% willing to listen

they love your voice and they love hearing all the wonderful human traditions humans do with their partners too (you explained anniversaries to them and they never ever forget to get you something special that day)

on missions, these two show off for you. they try to act like its nothing but secretly (not so secretly) very much enjoy when you tell them how awesome and badass they were

both Arcee and Airachnid "fight" over who gets to drive/fly you around that day

"I believe it is my turn Arcee"

"Really? Cause it looks to me like y/n's eyes are definitely screaming 'motorcycle' right now"

"Her eyes are not screaming such things"

its cute, you let them bicker and love to tease them

cuddling was a bit of a challenge at first because you were so much smaller than them, and they didn't want to squish you or hurt you in any way

eventually you settled on laying on each of them, taking turns leaning on each of their shoulders

if you're really tired, they'll make sure to grab a pillow so you have something a bit more comfortable to rest your head on <3

they're also incredibly protective, of each other and of you

both of them know you can take care of yourself but they want you to know that they've got your back, as well as you got theirs

Sarah Cameron x Fem!Reader: Club Night

Y/N = Your Name

TW: Alcohol (usage is discussed) - btw, everyone is over 21 in this!

Sarah's POV

Losing my father was tough. It hurt me to lose him. Breaking up with John B was needed. We needed to be away from each other to fully heal and grow as individuals. I feel like I was stuck in that relationship for so long. Rafe is living his life and I don't like talking to him. Wheezie exists with Rose. Topper and I were friends with benefits all summer. I broke it off when I moved to college. Oh, I moved to college. It will be good. A new start.

3 years later... Your POV

You couldn't help it. You loved to dance. You would go out with your friends every weekend and sometimes leave with someone new. It depended on how you were feeling and whether or not you wanted company for the night. Truth is, it would be nice to be in a relationship, but no one in college is looking for that. You’ve looked.

You were going out with your friends tonight and they were bringing some new girl, she was roommates with your friend's girlfriend. Your friend, Penny, had been with her girlfriend, Maria, for 2 years. They were cute and you loved third wheeling with them. You sometimes wish you had someone to hold hands with, but no one wants what you want in a relationship and the attractive ones never want you. You were going to the "LGBTQ" club tonight because they had half-off drinks from 11:30 pm-12 am. It was a short window, so you have to be aggressive at the bar. It wasn't called the LGBTQ bar, but everyone there was part of the community, and those who weren't stuck out like a sore thumb. You were pansexual and proud of it. It didn't matter who you spent the night with, just if the feeling was right and if you were attracted to them.

We sit in Penny's car as we wait for Maria and her roommate. They walk out of the apartment and you exclaim, "Holy shit! Maria's roommate is beautiful." Penny replies, "Maybe she'll want to commit." You playfully slap her and say, "Shut it. A girl can dream." Maria slides in behind Penny and kisses her on the cheek. You turn to face the roommate and you say, "Hi, I'm Y/N." The girl says, "Uh hi... I'm Sarah. I'm Maria's roommate." You reply, "Nice to meet you."

You go to dinner first because if you're going to consume alcohol, you need food in your body. That is a fact. (Like actually please eat before you drink and do not consume alcohol underage.) We went to this diner that has the best burgers ever. They get better after alcohol too.

You slide into the booth and Sarah slides next to you while smiling at you. You all order food and you say, "So, Sarah, I don't know if you've heard, but we like to dance when we go out. We go all out with the moves. Can you get behind that?" Sarah laughs and answers, "Yeah I can. Maria showed me some videos of some of the dances." You gasp and ask, "Oh god, which ones?" Sarah answers, "I happen to remember this sexy number where you gave someone a lap dance." Sexy ... ?!?!? I look to Penny and Maria to see if they've heard that comment, but they're very much having a conversation. I turn back to Sarah and say, "I know that video because I've only given one lap dance. God, I can't believe she showed you that. I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless." Sarah smiles and says, "Yes I did. Is it okay if I stick with you tonight? I know Maria is the designated driver and she's dating Penny, so they'll be together. I know nobody else because I haven't gone out in this town yet. I know it's weird that I haven't gone out, but I suppose I just haven't found the right people yet. So, is that okay?" You answer, "Of course it's okay. You don't have to feel weird about not going out. It's all good. Just a word of warning, Maria and Penny get hot and heavy as the night goes on. You don't want to be around that." Penny says, "Excuse me! I heard that!" You ask, "And what are you going to do about it? Deny it? It's true." Maria answers, "That's usually when you dance and make friends anyway. We never think of it as leaving you alone." You answer, "Tonight I won't be alone, I'll have Sarah." Penny and Maria gasp. Penny asks, "What does she mean, Sarah? Please tell me that Y/N is not bringing you into her dream of being in a relationship on a club night." WOW ... just wow... Sarah says, "I know I haven't been out as bisexual for long, but I would be proud to be with Y/N on any night... But tonight, I just asked to stick by her side. You two have each other. I know nobody else. I want to make sure I have someone that I know." Maria says, "God they're perfect for each other." You exclaim, "I am ignoring you two until further notice." Penny and Maria laugh.

The rest of dinner is fun and you love hanging out with them.

You all go to your friend's house to pregame a little. He has shots lined up as soon as you walk in. Penny, Sarah and you take 2 shots together to start. Then, you all sit on the couch with your friends that are there and you watch a movie. It seems weird that you eat out, pregame at friends with a movie, and then go out, but it's your Saturday routine. And god, you love this routine. Sarah is next to you and she has progressively gotten closer as you watch the movie tonight. Her arm presses lightly against yours and you can smell her perfume. You don't want to read into this, but you do like her and the proximity to her is almost heavenly. Your friends bring over beers and hard seltzers for everyone. More people enter the apartment. Everyone says hi and you introduce them to Sarah.

After more talking and drinking, everyone is ready to go out. Everyone heads to their car with their designated driver and you all head out for the club. It's time to party!!!!!!!!!! You can feel yourself getting tipsy. It feels good. You feel free and happy.

As you all wait for everyone to arrive at the parking lot, Sarah leans over to you and asks, "Can I ask you something?" You answer, "Sure." She says, "I'm really nervous about going to my first LGBTQ club and I've only been bisexual for 6 months. I don't want to rush into things and I know I've had some alcohol, so my decisions will be not great. I don't want to hook up with anyone, I just want to dance and have fun with people that I like. Could we pretend to be girlfriends so I can tell people I'm not interested in them?" You ask, "What if you are interested in someone else?" She answers, "I don't think I want anyone else." Is she saying what you think she is saying?! Or is she just saying she wouldn't date someone in the club scene? The alcohol is really clouding my thoughts. You agree because you want to see her happy and you like her. She smiles so widely before grasping your hand with hers.

Penny looks at over at one point and I mouth, "Don't even ask." Penny laughs.

After getting your IDs checked and getting your first round of shots, you all find a table to fit most of the group. Maria pulls Sarah for her first club dance.

Penny slides next to you and asks, "What happened with Sarah? She has been attached to you like you two are dating yet you seem both happy and confused about it." You answer, "Don't tell anyone. We are pretending to date." Penny gasps and you tell her about the conversation. Penny says, "She likes you. Holy shit! That was her attempt to try to ask you out but she didn't know how so she asked for you to be her pretend girlfriend. Come on, think about it, she's never really dated many girls and Maria tells me her love life is rough. She didn't want to face rejection for real again. Also, she was practically on your lap at Sam's place. She likes holding your hand. She said she wouldn't mind being in a relationship with you. Please tell her that you like her." You reply, "You saw that too! I was trying not to read into it. I didn't want to come off as too strong, but then she was leaning all over me on the couch. You're right. I should probably just tell her that I like her. We're already fake dating, what's the worst that could happen? I can actually think of worse things, so we're going to move on from this conversation." Penny replies, "Fine... Just so you know, Maria thinks you're hot together. I do too." You ask, "So, are you going to stop that other girl from flirting with your girlfriend?" Penny looks over to some girl obviously flirting with Maria and Penny storms over. Sarah sees Penny and immediately rushes back to me.

Sarah slides next to me where Penny was just sitting and says, "I thought that was about to get intense. That girl was just going on and on about herself to Maria. Maria even told her she had a girlfriend." You laugh and then ask, "Have you told anyone we're dating yet?" She answers, "Yeah, a few girls and Maria. Maria said she'd keep it a secret. Have you ... have you told anyone?" You answer, "Just Penny... speaking of you, you said earlier that you don't want anyone else. You also said that you would be proud to be with me. I know you haven't been out for a long time and that we barely know each other, but I like you. I like you and I think you're one of the most beautiful people I've ever met." Sarah smiles widely and says, "I like you a lot too. I've liked you from the first time watching that lap dance video." You laugh and say, "I can make that happen again whenever you feel ready." She smiles and replies, "I would really like that a lot, but not tonight. I do want to dance with you." You reply, "Say less. Let's go." We hop off the bench. You hold out your hand, which she gladly takes then presses a quick kiss to your cheek. You turn to her and give her a quick kiss on her cheek, but she moves at the last second and you're now kissing her on the lips.

On the dance floor, you two fully let loose. You dance and you have the time of your life.

kdshfwe ok so i went back and reread both vision qualifications and sunshowers to jog my memory of how visions being taken away works (oh the irony) and from the way you portrayed, the longer and more unstable you are the more memory loss takes place. i swear i could remember a scene where y/n had their vision in their pocket most of the time, but i literally cant find it anywhere i cant tell if im blind or just remembering wrong or whatever (1/?)

Spoilers: Ask is referring to this fic

I don't think Alhaitham would steal away (Y/n)'s vision– it ruins whatever he's trying to do. He wants them to be near him as much as possible, which means that if they receive a geo vision (it was bound to happen), they'll be busy with engineering, which is pretty much the path to thread away from him. Dendro vision, on the other hand, would give them more opportunities to collaborate. The reader is plenty competent to work in the Haravatat. They've been invited loads of times by the sages but they declined.

It's a good thing Zhongli values contracts above all else, hmm?

(Y/n) doesn't genuinely recall Alhaitham's face most of the time, not just because they're not carrying their "damn grass vision" but because they're REALLY spiteful. Which is, well, funny for me lmao. That's why Alhaitham keeps bothering them and forcing them to remember him. 

They're actively trying to avoid him. If they got the idea that having their vision taken away would help them forget who Alhaitham is then they'd probably consider having it gone forever, only as a threat. They're petty in their own right– I've been writing a more crackfic-like part 2 to VisiQual and it glosses over why (Y/n) forgets faces easily. It uses Crying Anon's elf!reader idea and it's been really fun!… until fricking mafia au!Cyno kicked my door down–

I honestly can't tell if I deleted the pocket thing or if we both hallucinated it. I sometimes edit fics but they're mostly just for grammar errors. I did have a scrapped idea about Alhaitham scolding the reader to stop leaving their vision anywhere unattended and the reader snapped– but I hated how emotional it turned out. The reader felt too similar to Kaveh so I added the "If Kaveh's incredibly verbose dislike for Alhaitham is considered normal, then you are a man of few words" line in the final draft. I ended up loving how VisionQual's ending felt like a jumpscare so yeah (it's obvious by now, but I love plot twists lmao)

"If Alhaitham ever decided to take (Y/n)'s vision away how quic–" faster than you could say "Akademiya" my friend LMAO. They'll probably ramble about Kaveh and think he owns Alhaitham's house. He is GONE 🦀

So finally: "If, hypothetically, haitham takes away y/n’s vision, why, and how would both of them react?"

The only reason I can see Alhaitham taking (Y/n)'s dendro vision away is to make them temporarily compliant. He hates it. It's like cheating on a test. He'd secretly prefer hearing (Y/n) scream out should he kidnap them, even if it's inefficient. Alhaitham would return the vision in no time. He traded a part of him for you to earn that dendro vision, and he's not letting you lose it.

As I mentioned above, taking (Y/n)'s vision is counterproductive, but once he permanently snatched (Y/n)'s vision away he'd be the most affected. Alhaitham admires his darling's wit and spiteful nature, yanking that aspect out will surely topple the Jenga tower, you know? Not my best analogy but I think it sums it up rather well. Without that drive, the reader wouldn't have made an outstanding presentation just to prove a point. He thinks they're incredible the way they are. I think Alhaitham's the type who wouldn't care much if you hate him, as long as you won't be with anyone else, he's "content" with that. Take away (Y/n)'s dendro vision and make his "building rapport" activities meaningless. 

How would (Y/n) react and behave? They'd easily turn into a mad scholar. They don't know why they're so passionate about reading engineering textbooks despite forgetting everything they've learned the next morning. They'd wake up every day crying, feeling like something is missing. It's a cruel cycle. Taking their vision away long enough helps no one.

Sidenote: I never thought I'd see Sunshowers mentioned in an ask ( ☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)!! The fox reader in Sunshowers is numb as heck after Ei took their vision. While, yes, they remember Ei cause she's always there, they don't recall anything else… I wanted to imply that the reader had a relationship with Miko but it's an Ei fic dyifakaoodsf. Kitsune no yomeiri means Fox Wedding. Both Yae and the reader are foxes. That phenomenon happens when it rains. The reader has hydro visio–

[mystical-lemonade]

hey pal, do you think I could get some sugary sweet headcanons about trey with an artist s/o? honestly any headcanons you have about trey would be great <3

~Teddy

Warnings: N/A

Wordcount: 567

Pairings: Trey Clover x gn!reader

Trey would hype his s/o's art up so much

He'd do his best to always be positive and supportive no matter how much of a slump his significant other was in

He refuses to entertain his significant other talking down their skill

Either they admit they are hardworking and talented at what is by all accounts a hard skill set to aquire

Would Trey give suggestions or criticism if he's asked? Absolutely!

But it's always polite and Trey would only step in without his S/O giving permission if they were about to do something that wouldn't end well

For example if they were about to use a drastically incorrect colour in a drawing or painting

Trey would also be the type to ensure that his significant other wouldn't accidentally do something like drink paint water instead of their coffee or put a piece of clay in their mouth instead of their snack

On the nights that Trey's s/o was in the zone and working very hard on a project they would receive plenty of snacks and drinks from Trey to make sure that they didn't feel sick

He would also drag them to bed after a while if he noticed them flagging after too many long nights

Tries his best to get his significant other away from their work station to take a break when they've been at it for over 4 hours straight

Even if that break is only 5 minutes to help him fold laundry or another chore

Trey would absolutely go over the top with decorating treats for any celebration he has with his S/O

Honestly the amount of effort he puts into making every detail in the pastries perfect deserves at least 5 magicam worthy photos before you start eating

Isn't much of a traditional artist in the sense of using paper and pen

But Trey does like to think that a well made, and even better decorated cake could be classified as art in a way

Even if that "art" is how well it satisfies his significant other's tasebuds

If his s/o was good at painting he would ask them for ideas and tricks to get his cake decorating skills to the next level

Definitely asks them if they also think a date to a chocolate sculpting class would be fun

Would try super hard to get to know stuff about the art that his lover partakes in

Trey absolutely adores watching his significant other work on their latest project

It just makes him so darn happy to see the person he loves looking so passionate while doing something they so clearly adore doing

He'd try and help out in any way he can so you remain having fun while you work.

Is ten thousand percent okay to be used if you ever needed a pack mule to help carry supplies for you

Trey would absolutely make sure to gift you materials that you need for your hobby if you lose/break/run out of/etc. any

They need more high quality thread for that wall tapestry  grandma asked them to embroider? They'll get it from Trey don't worry!!

Want a standing weaving loom? Welp Trey will do his very best to have a carpenter build you one

In conclusion the praise and support that comes from Trey is immense, he truly adores his S/O's talents

Sometimes your Bestie deserves nice things. So have some soft fluffy Trey homie. Muah!

If you enjoyed this post and want to see more from me check out the previous wishes or make a wish of your own.

Sincerely,

Jupiter

[undertale-writing-times]

For the hanahaki disease prompt, may I request Error? Thank you!

This one was a lot of fun to write! Error's flower is a blue rose. It means Unfulfilled longing, pretty much -w-

There were a lot of things that Error didn't know.

They didn't like to admit that they didn't know things, mostly because, you know, how the hell were they supposed to know that they didn't know it? Nobody has ever really told them much!

So, when Error started to cough up flowers, and the petals fell from their body; they didn't know what was happening.

They hadn't seen something like this while exploring the multi-verse. It was new, and they... didn't like it. What the hell was going on? They would pull the vines out of their ribs each time they started to form, hoping to stop them before they got too bad.

Then the next day they would be back, and they couldn't pull them out. The vines curled around their ribs and the flowers nuzzled deep inside of them.

Error tried to ignore it. They were just flowers, it wasn't like they were really causing issues, right? Then they kept coughing up the petals, it started to feel like they were choking them. It wasn't like they could die because of them, Error was unable to die in the Anti-Void, they knew that, they've tried, but that made it hurt.

Plus, the flowers had thorns. Why were they coughing up blue roses?!

Error hated this. There was no reason for them to be feeling like this, it was so stupid. Ever since the Star Sanses and the Bad Sanses got together and started to work together, it was... nice but also, you know, pretty annoying. Mostly Ink, being Ink. They all agreed on a truce, and it was going well.

Now, this was happening, and they wondered if they were connected at all...

There was this one person in the group, their name was Y/n, and... They caught Error's attention. They had no idea why they caught their attention but they did, and they were caught in their trap. Like a bug and a spider.

You know, Error bet that they were the cause of this! Yeah, that makes sense. Well, you know what? They can ignore it, and then they'll go away!

We all already know that that isn't what happened.

The flowers started to grow thicker, stronger, the vines curling around their ribs scratching them with their thorns and making it hard for them to breathe or sometimes even move.

Error... didn't know what to do.

This only started to happen after they started to spend time with Y/n, so they were most likely the one to blame for it, right? They knew that they were. Their mind wondered quickly with different thoughts until they finally decided on what they would do.

On the next Star Sanses and Bad Sanses meet up, Error walked over to Y/n, their arms crossed. Their movements were hard to do, they were tired, and they just wanted to lay down but they also knew that stopping Y/n would make all of this stop as well.

"y/n, We n-n-nEeD To tA-TaLk," Error would start, "i dO-Dd-dOn't kNoW W-W-WhAt tYpE Of pOwErS YoU HhHhH-HhAvE BuT YoU NeEd tO S-StOoP U-U-UsInG ThEm oN Me, We'rE In a t-tRuCe"

That caught a few of their attention. Nightmare could most likely sense Error's negative feelings.... fucker never did anything to try to help though.

"What?" they ask, looking at Error with big eyes, and shaking their head "I haven't been doing anything."

"yEaH RiGhT" Error huffs, rolling their eyes "t-tHeN CaRe tO ExPlAiN Wh-w-w-wH-WhY I'Ve bEeN GeTtInG F-F-FlOwErS AnD Pe-p-pE-PeTaLs iN Me sInCe i'vE SsSsS-S-StArTeD To tAlK To yOu?" They pull out some of the flower petals that they've collected, holding them out in their hand.

Dream makes a soft gasp sound, and Blueberry was confused while Ink snorts.

"Urm... Error those... They aren't... Y/n isn't making those flowers appear with their powers. It's um..." Dream starts to try to explain, moving his hands while Error squints, annoyed.

Ink bounces over, holding up his arms "You love them!"

What?

WHAT?!

"wHaT ArE Y-Y-Y-Ou tAlKiNg aB-A-A-AbOuT, sQuId?" They snap, glitching a bit worse than before, their cheeks flushed.

"You have a disease, they grow when you love someone and they don't return the feelings" Ink laughs, putting his arms around his middle while almost coughing with his laughter. "Oh geez! I never thought the big bad Error would ever fall in love with someone"

Blueberry lightly punches Ink's shoulder "Stop laughing! You're being so mean, Ink"

Error's eyes shoot around. Some of the others were laughing too, Y/n seemed so embarrassed, and... damn it.

"i dOn't... ShUt uP!" Error felt like they were going to bluescreen, they didn't want to glitch too bad. They hated it when that happened, afterwards they felt so weird so they open one of their glitches, then shoots out their strings grabbing Y/n "wE'Re lEaViNg" and then pulls them through with them, leaving them in Error's Anti-Void together.

Error stares at them, while they stare back, and they squint "...wHy wOuLd i lOvE YoU?"

"I don't know... why do you?"

Error opens their mouth, then shuts it again putting their arms around themselves, not sure how to respond. How the hell were they supposed to respond to that? Why did they fall in love with them? How did they do that without realizing what they were doing? The flowers were the only hint in their mind.

Sure, Error wanted to see them smile and be... happy but that didn't mean anything! Did it? How the hell... They let out a shaky breath, feeling the petals coming up in their throat making them shiver turning their head down and putting their hand over their teeth. They can't come out, not right now. Fuck, they knew that the thorns were cutting up their ribs...

This hurt.

It really hurt.

Error heard Y/n's footsteps, so they lifted their head to watch them come closer. They slowly reach up, putting their hands on Error's cheeks causing them to tense their bones locking up.

Why were they touching them?!

Error couldn't move.

Error couldn't push them away.

They slowly lean over, pressing the softest kiss against their cheek. "If it means anything... I like you too"

What what what?

They...

No.

They're lying to Error.

Damn it.

They had to be lying to them.

They reach up, pushing them away from them glitching out badly, Error's chest rising and falling with their quick breaths "d-d-d-dOn't tOu-t-oU-ToUcH Me!" They snap "wHy w-w-wOuLd yOu tOuCh mE, jUsT To tE-T-EeE-TeLl mE ThAt? I Ha-a-a-hAtE P-P-PeOpLe tO-T-ToUcHiNg mE, aNd y-oOo-y-yOu kNoW It!" They would have kept going if they didn't realize...

Hey.

Error could breathe again. They didn't feel the petals in their throat anymore, the pain was still there but a lot less than before. They reach up, touching where their neck was under their scarf, then looks at Y/n again. "You... like me?"

They nod, from where they were sitting on the ground looking sheepish... ugh.

[foxmenbetter]

Findings I

A/n :i dont know if any of this will make sense sooo...gn reader,gn traveller,gn traveller's sibling. !English is not my first language, if you feel uncomfortable reading a fic with gramatical mistakes leave!

'He was.. interesting, to say the least. It was almost fascinating how fast he adapted to new situations. I didnt understand many things about him, but i still used these things to my advantage. I will win.

This was my free choice, even though it felt kinda forced, i agreed and I can't take it back it'll hurt my pride and i can't let that happane around him. He's too precious to me now.'

There exist groups of such dangerous guys that have control over a few gnosis of the archons.. i heard that the ballader ran away with the electro archon's gnosis and betrayed them. Now one is missing one is... well dead and one is constantly causing truble for them. Thats the world i live in.

If i had lived in Shneznaya and not in Liyue i would have probably known more about that, but I dont. All i can do now is try and help the traveller find their sibling based on my theories from the places i travelled to and try not to interefere with anything too dangerous... even though i already have getting in to that bet with him.

I just wanted to get some information out of him but he sure is tougher then he looks like he is. He flashes that smile and walks around like he knows is all.. i mean, he probably does but it still annoys everyone. The first time I met him he wasnt like that. He was standing in the rain looking deeply regretful about something he has done.

I think i walked in on him after a big fight.. i was visiting mondstat and saw him in the back of the dawn winery that's where we made that bet. I dont think i can actually call it a bet but rather a sort of promise, since we knew where we came from, its not suprising for me to try and reason him to come with me. But he saw me as a threat to his already almost ruined life.

"We live in lies, so you have to make a bet with me.. if you cant win this bet you will live with guilt." He looked at me for such a long time, i was wondering what my options we're live the life of bearing the curse with the 'sane' people of my nation or not. Its a pain, should i meet him or not?

"I... shall accept your bet, if you truly think I am someone suited to help guide him in this journey." I accepted his decision with doubts about ever finding him. "Alright then, you have as long as you need, after all you will be stuck here until you try and get rid of it, or become one with the other sinners that lost their 'self' "

This was some dangerous stuff, but when the traveller showed up, i knew what my duty was. Explain our current situation in full detail and make him my companion, companion for life, "Support his decisions, please, your sibling wants to take away our freedom without even realising it, they've become currupt from staying in that place they need your help! We have tried, multiple times, but they don't- no, won't understand or pleas."

Their eyes we're turning grim as i said that ."Why should i beleive you?" Right.. I dont even have a vision, i am a sinner, i dont have a delusion and most people dont think i can protect myself. Heck i dont even have the abbysal powers! When he saw that i was visionless of course he didnt beleive me! So i left, I dont have time to waste, especially not on this. "Its fine if you dont beleive me, just tell me if you see dainsleif, say my name to him, he'll remember." They were pondering for a bit and then finally answered "alright, i shall tell you."

So i left them, they'll learn the truth, maybe its the wrong time now but they'll come to me later. Its no use if i try to force them, Dainsleif probably has a plan for the traveller, and knowing him, it's probably better then mine. So i give up on this case for now, if he needs me, he knows where to find me. I may not be someone who sticks out too much but im not a see-through wall either.

My journey stopped halfway but im going strong now, im still gonna look for him, and present him with my evidence and claims. Its been so long since we last saw eachother and kaeya and the traveller didnt want to hear my insight on our situation. Im sure he'll understand me, he always did.

I travelled through the abbys firstly and tried to find 'the other sibling' while trying to avoid lethal effects of the elements in my world. I stood strong against enemies with my claymore if i could not avoid any interactions. I dont need their materials so i sold them for food, i sometimes collected ore to refine my weapon. Forging was difficult at the start and my hand became even more bruised and colloused then they already were.

I built a lot of muscle traveling in inazuma and felt as if i had built a certain amount of resistance to electro. Liyue and monstat were my most known theritories and for a challange i tried exploring the chasm and found many interesting things and left notes on the places only he would have been able to see and read.

'Im looking for you, please come find me.

-Yours truly'

was often a thing said in my notes. Even if he shall not remember me, i always will remember him. I still hoped he did though, it would be pretty painfull if he didn't..

[cinematicsoph]

it should've been me • marvel blurb

summary: during the snap, Tony Stark is the one who got dusted rather than Peter Parker, leaving Peter in space with Nebula. The only problem is, with his super spider metabolism and lack of resources, Peter is suffering more consequences than Nebula

warnings: pain, I'm so sorry

a/n: this is inspired by a random thought my bestie (@nonsensicalollie) had and texted me about. the cover art is also done by him

"Is this recording? Hey, Aunt May. Or whoever found this. This better not end up on social media, Flash will never let me hear the end of it," Peter sighs heavily and looks out the window. He's lost track of the time, space is always dark. "I don’t know if you’re ever going to see these. I don’t even know if you’re still...God, I hope so. Today’s day twenty-one, no...twenty-two."

   Nebula is listening from the other side of the room. It's been twenty-two days since the snap and half the world dusted, leaving Nebula and Peter in space. Luckily, The Benatar was left there too so they had a way to get back to earth. Unluckily, they only have so much food and water for the both of them (and who knows how long they'll be out here).

   "You know, if it wasn’t for the existential terror of staring into the literal void of space, I’d say I’m feeling a little better today. Infection’s run its course, thanks to Ms. Nebula back there. I think you'd like her, May. She’s very practical. And only a tiny bit sadistic."

  Nebula smiles slightly at his words. During the twenty-two days, they've formed a bit of a bond. Nebula was never one to show emotions, and Peter was one to always show emotions. An unexpected team they were, but still a good one.

   “The fuel cells were cracked during battle, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge. I know you don’t know what any of that means, but basically we bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight time. Problem is that was about...49 hours ago.” Peter chuckles, trying to bring humor to the depressing vibe he’s created. (Spoiler: it didn’t help). “Which means, we’re dead in the water. A thousand light years from the nearest 7-11.” (Still not helping, Pete).

   Nebula knew that between the two of them, she’d be more likely to get out of this alive. Nothing against the kid, just everything against that damn spider metabolism. Peter’s spider powers affected his metabolism more than he was letting on, Nebula quickly figured that out. On about day ten, she started realizing that if they didn’t make it back to earth soon, he would likely die in space.

   “Most of the quote-unquote ‘food’ and potable water ran out two weeks ago,” Peter sniffles. He’s trying to keep it together for May, for anyone else that happens to watch this, and maybe a little bit for himself too. “I know I said no more surprises. But, I gotta say, I was really hoping to pull off one last one. But it looks like…” Peter freezes. Come on, Spider-Man. You know what it looks like, Nebula knows what it looks like, and anyone seeing this video knows what it looks like. Taking a deep breath and shaking his head, Peter leaves the last sentence unfinished. “Don’t feel bad about this. Really, May…anyone. I was trying to be like…I should probably lie down for a minute, rest my eyes. I’m fine, totally fine. I larb you, Aunt May.”

   Nebula steps away from where she’s standing and goes to grab the last little bit of water. She walks back over to Peter and sees him with his eyes closed. 

   “Kid!” She nudges his foot with hers, maybe a little too hard. “You can’t do this, okay? Here. It’s the last of the water. You need it more than I do.” She hands him the water expecting him to take it but instead gets no response. “Peter?” She nudges him again except this time she leans down and nudges his shoulder. She hated to admit it, but she was scared. The spider metabolism is a real bitch to the poor kid.

   "I'm fine!" Peter jerked awake and stared at Nebula. He would never mention it, but he saw the tears in her eyes as she stared down at him. “I’m sorry, I just needed to rest my eyes a few minutes.” His voice was raspy and his head was pounding from minimal water intake. 

   “Take the water.” She didn’t bother acknowledging the kids voice, she figured he already knew. She handed him the water and he grabbed it. He took the biggest sip of water she’s ever seen anyone take. She was right though, he needs it more than she does. She can survive this. Him? She’s not so sure anymore.

   Nebula finds Peter laying on the floor sleeping. She helps Peter into Quill’s chair. Since the guardians have disappeared, Peter and Nebula have guessed that they wouldn’t mind them using their stuff.

   Peter slumps and slouches in the chair. Nebula leaves his alone, giving him his privacy. Peter closes his eyes and leans against the glass window next to him. He’s so tired. He’s never been this tired in his life. The dehydration, the starvation, the lack of sleep, everything is catching up to the poor kid and he can barely keep his eyes open anymore. The window is so cold, which isn’t helping Peter’s shivering problem. But it’s helping him stay awake…kind of.

   Peter’s been out for a bit now. Nebula lets him sleep, he needs it. She looks over at him and sees a bright light shining on his face. She expects him to open his eyes at the light, but he doesn’t. She walks up behind the chair and shields her eyes. The light means they’re back to Earth, it means they made it through. She looks down at Peter smiling and sees his eyes are still closed.

   “Peter?” She goes around the chair and shakes him. “Peter, wake up. We did it.”

   Steve, Bruce, and Natasha run out of the Avengers compound. They see the silhouette of someone guiding the ship to the ground. Steve runs up to the ship as Nebula is seen carrying the lifeless body of Peter Parker.

   “It should’ve been me,” she sniffled.

Lost post ahead. I have a feeling it will influence my followers in one way or another, but I honestly don't care.

CW: Religious talk. Issue with Israel, Hamas, and Palestine. Just overall a rant. Probably some swearing.

Rant Under The Cut

I was raised to be a Christian. I got saved at a young age. As a Christian, I was taught to "Stand With Israel" no matter what. Why? Because according to the Bible, they are "God's Chosen People", that's why. I just always shrugged and went along with it. When this whole thing started, the only thing I heard about it was Israel was being attacked. Considering that this was the only information I knew, I still supported them.

As I see more and more information, I have become disgusted with myself for ever supporting them in this whole shit storm. For quite some time (not sure exactly how much), Israel has been attacking other countries, such as Palestine. When this started, no one batted an eye. But the moment the Palestinians decided that they've had enough of being victims that no one was going to help and started defending themselves, suddenly THEY'RE the bad guys.

I'm not saying that I'm standing with Hamas, either. That's not what I'm saying at all. I DON'T support Hamas OR Israel in this situation. I support the countries that never wanted to be involved in a genocide and are suddenly being attacked (because this isn't a "war", it's just straight up genocide at this point). Long ago, the land belonged to Palestine. They gave a portion of the land to Israel. Now, Israel has decided to follow in the footsteps of their Imperialist supporters and take all the land as their own.

Am I saying all of the people in Israel are bad? No, not at all. But there's enough people for it to be a huge problem. There are good people and terrible people in every group. I am supporting the people who never wanted this to happen. The people who are living in fear, wondering if their kids are going to ever get the chance to grow up. The people who don't even know if they'll ever get to see their kids grow up.

There are a few things that being a Christian in the Southeastern US has brainwashed me into believing. I have outgrown quite a few of them. A lot of them are based on hate and judgement (something that is AGAINST being a Christian). Part of the LGBTQIAA+? Going to Hell. Not a Christian or Jew? Hellbound. That was especially true for Muslims. My pastor constantly says "Allah didn't do it! Buddha didn't do it!" in reference to giving up his life to save the world, however, Allah is another word for God. "Muslims don't believe in the Bible!" Actually, that's not true. The Holy Bible is part of their Trinity of Holy Books (which are the Torah, the Holy Bible, and the Quran). "They don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah!" Again, not true. They don't believe that the real Jesus Christ was crucified, but a replica of him. They fully believe that Jesus has gone to Heaven and will return again one day.

In my opinion, EVERYONE is valid and deserves respect until they do something to have that respect taken away (TERFs are the first example that comes to my mind, though there are many more). I understand that as Christians, we are supposed to support Israel in their time of need, but right now, they DO NOT need saving. What they are doing is wrong and against God's word. One of the Ten Commandments (which are in the Torah, the holy reading of Jews, which is the religion associated with Israel) is "Thou Shalt Not Kill", and another is "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor", and let's not forget "Thou Shalt Not Take The Lord's Name In Vain" (which is referring to using God as an excuse to do something heinous. For example "I'm killing these people in the name of God!"). Though I can't quote this next part word for word, I can give the general idea of it. This is from 1 John Chapter 4: "Love one another, for love is of God. He who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love".

If I am supposed to support Israel during this genocide because "God said so" and "they're God's Chosen People", then I don't think that I can follow this God. What is going on is not what the God in my Bible supports or sees as right. Judgement and revenge is His, not ours.

I've honestly been questioning my religious affiliation. If I can't love God and love who I am as a person, then I don't know what to believe anymore. The God that I know and that I love created all of us and He loves us. A lot of the verses used to put down the LGBTQIAA+ Community are mistranslations. There is one verse that I love to use against so-called Christians. Again, I can't quote it word for word, but you get the general idea. A lot of "Christians" say they will disown and kick out their child if they end up trans or gay. Here's my argument, from the very same Bible they claim to stand behind. "If any man careth not for his own, especially of his own flesh, then he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." You know what an infidel is? A nonbeliever. In God's eyes, disowning your own child makes you considered to be WORSE than someone who does not believe in God.

Say whatever the fuck you want about me. I will stand by my opinion until someone gives me a valid reason not to.
