What If

Dean Winchester x Reader

You make assumptions after a night in Dean's bed that prove to be false

Warnings: Mention of steamy times, cursing, hurt feelings

Heat was the first sensation that hit you. The heat of a warm body curled up to your back. A strong arm laid across your stomach and warm breath hitting the back of your neck as he slept. How the hell had you ended up in this position when the two of you had simply set out to watch a movie last night after Sam had gone to bed?

You'd been in your room, laid across the bed reading a book Alex had sent you for your birthday. It was pretty good so far but you knew you wouldn't get far in it when you heard Dean singing lightly as his footsteps got closer to your open door.

You slid a bookmark in place and laid the book on your nightstand before your green eyed best friend ever Madeira to your door. You glanced up about the time he knocked “What's up Dean?” He smiled slightly “Well Sammy's gone to bed but Claire sent me a list of the top five rated horror movies. The top two we have on streaming”

A grin split your face “Go get them up, I'll grab drinks and meet you in the TV room” he winked at you “that's my girl” then turned to walk off down the hall.

You let out a sigh if only he knew what it did to you when he did shit like that. That wink, calling you his girl. The way he always invited you to watch movies, go for late night drives or how gentle he was patching you up after hunts. You shook your head to clear those thoughts out, he was your best friend. Yeah he was drop dead gorgeous but you couldn't help that you had eyes. You wouldn't ever cross a line he'd never acted as if he wanted to cross and risk that relationship.

____________________________

You were sitting next to Dean on the couch, your feet were curled up under you and Dean's favorite blanket was draped across you both. About halfway through the second movie a jumpscare actually got to you and without thinking you curled into his side, hiding your face in his chest.

He chuckled lightly as he tucked his arm around your body “Oh come on sweetheart. I've seen you take on shit a lot scarier than that and not blink!” You looked up at him and stuck your tongue out, trying to ignore just how close your faces were “Bite me Winchester. Real life doesn't bother me because if it can touch me and hurt me I can touch it and hurt it”

He shook his head “You're something else” you raised an eyebrow “What you mean by that” he raised his hand that wasn't curled around you to push your hair back that had fallen into your face “Beautiful, smart, badass. Pretty damn close to perfect” you could feel your cheeks warm slightly. It wasn't unusual for Dean to compliment you but it always made your stomach flip. “Oh shut up” you pushed against his chest hoping to turn this semi flirtatious moment into a teasing one but damn him if he didn't cup your chin gently and lift your head to meet his eyes before a smirk slipped onto his face “Make me”

You don't know what came over you at that moment. Maybe temporary insanity? Regardless you found yourself moving forward until your lips met his. It was just a simple kiss but something you'd dreamt of for far too long. It didn't take him even half a second to react. His hands went down to your hips, pulling you over into his lap and when the action caused a light gasp to leave your lips he slipped his tongue into your mouth rolling it against yours in a way that had you melting into him.

When you ground your hips down against his and a deep groan left him that was when reality set in. You were currently straddling your best friend, making out with him and damn near dry humping on the couch. You broke the kiss and damn near jumped off his lap. “I am so sorry Dean. I don't…I don't know what was going through my head”

He stood up, adjusting his jeans as he did so and your eyes flicked down to see a bulge that made your legs weak. The look in his eyes, damn how many waitresses and barmaids had you cussed over the years for having that look focused on them and now you couldn't think straight. “I wasn't exactly shoving you off” he replied taking a step closer and when you didn't back up he quickly covered the space between you pulling you into his arms “You're my best friend Y/N. Besides Sam no one on earth means as much to me as you do but that kiss was….fuck…if you want then this never happened. We'll turn on a different movie and nothing more”

“Or?” You asked, feeling your heart leap into your throat. A smirk slipped back onto his lips “Or we could go to my room and talk” “talk?” You repeated and he nodded “nothing has to happen”

________________________

A moan of Dean's name left your lips as he kissed a trail down your neck, his fingers slipping inside of you easily. “Fuck I love hear you say my name like that” he teased. It didn't take him long to find that one spot inside of you that had you clenching around his fingers and your legs shaking around his wrist.

He continued to pump his fingers lazily in and out of you as he worked you through the orgasm. When you weakly pushed at his wrist he caught your eyes before licking his fingers into his mouth, those sinful lips working as he sucked your juices off his fingers. “Taste as good as you look” you shook your head with a laugh “Take your pants off and get up here Dean” he grinned “Yes ma'am”

He stood long enough to slip his pants off then crawled up the bed, kissing his way up your body until he got to your lips. He caught them in a searing kiss that let you taste yourself on him. He pulled back enough to meet your eyes “Are you sure about this?” You nodded and felt his hardness pressed against your inner thigh “I want this”

He pressed another kiss to your lips before lining himself up with your entrance. When he slipped inside of you a moan left both of you at the feeling. He dropped his head down against your chest once he was fully inside of you to give you time to adjust. His lips left a trail across your collarbone “you feel so damn amazing sweetheart” After a moment the discomfort of the fullness of his gave way to pleasure so you turned his face to kiss him “Move Dean”

He began to roll his hips tentatively against yours and when your reaction was your eyes rolling back slightly at the feeling that was all the clearance he needed. “Eyes on me, beautiful. I want to see you come undone” it took you a minute to focus your eyes back on him and when you did he smiled almost shyly “look at you Y/N. Damn you're perfect” he pulled almost completely out of you then slammed back in. Your hands went to his shoulders, fingernails cutting into the skin as he sat a grueling pace that filled the room with the sound of skin hitting skin and both of you moaning the other's name.

When you felt yourself reaching that peak he bit down gently on your neck “Let yourself go baby. I'm not far behind. I want to feel you come around my cock, please” Dean Winchester of all men begging you to come? Christ, that pushed you over the edge with a scream of pleasure ripping from your lips.

His thrusts faltered slightly and through gritted teeth he asked “Don't you have an iud?” You nodded and he buried himself inside of you with one final thrust. The feeling of him coming worked another small orgasm out of you that had your legs shaking around him.

When he pulled out you whimpered slightly and he apologized with a light kiss “Just gonna grab my shirt to clean you up some baby ok?” You nodded weakly and felt the bed dip before Dean was knelt between your knees “Open up for me beautiful” you slowly spread your legs and he smiled “you look so fucking gorgeous like this. All fucked out” he used his shirt to clean you up as best as he could before tossing it back to the floor.

When he laid back down next to you he ran a finger down your side which caused you to squirm. “I'll go to my room once my legs work” He slipped his arm around you to pull you back against him “Take your time. No rush”

Every insecurity and what if started to flip through your head. Dean wasn't a settling down type. He didn't like attachments because he knew that put a target on them. He cared about you enough as a friend to put himself in danger. This wouldn't work. Either he'd not want this and feel some sort of obligation from your years of friendship or worse he would feel for you what you truly felt for him and it would end with him getting himself killed to keep you safe.

______________

It took some work to slip out the bed without waking him but you managed it and slipped your clothes on quickly. You needed a shower and to get the hell out of the bunker for a few minutes. You just needed to clear your head. It was supply run day. Groceries were needed and mail needed to be checked. You'd tell Sam to let you handle it. That would give you breathing room.

When you parked your car back at the bunker Sam came out to meet you and help with bags. When you glanced behind him he shrugged one shoulder “Can I ask something that may not only be none of my business but may be uncomfortable too?”

You nodded “We've known each other for a good chunk of our lives so I'd say yeah” he grimaced as he ran a hand across the back of his neck “I heard you and Dean last night so I thought…I don't know what I thought but did something happen? Because he seemed upset that you left while he was asleep”

“Sam, I didn't want to make things weird for Dean. You know my feelings” he nodded “but did you ask him his or just assume?” You didn't have to say anything Sam saw the look in your eyes. “He's in the library cleaning guns. I've got the bags”

________________

You could hear the clinking of metal when you got closer to the library. You stopped right inside the doorway and watched Dean for a moment. The way he handled the guns was a thing of beauty. He could probably break them down, clean them and put them back together in his sleep at this point.

He didn't look up from the colt before saying “You made it back in one piece” you nodded lamely “Dean can we talk?” He laid the colt down and raised his eyes to meet yours “Let me guess where this is going. You had a good night but don't want nothing to change”

You swallowed hard under the intensity of his stare “Can I talk without you putting words in my mouth?” He waved a hand to say go ahead “Dean you're my best friend and I love you, I fell in love with you. Last night was fucking amazing but I don't want to make you regrets things, you don't do love, you don't do relationships”

“because why? Dean's a man whore that just bed hops? Because Dean is incapable of love? Because despite us being best friends for over a decade there's no possibility that I fell in love with you too? There's no possibility i fucking wanted to wake up with the woman I love in my arms?” You flinched at his tone despite your heart flipping at his words “You love me?” He stood up and walked around the table “How could I not?”

You took a step back putting your back to the wall. He stood right in front of you, leaning a hand on the wall just over your head but giving you room to move “I love you Y/N. I'm in love with you. Last night was everything. Now what other demons are lurking in your head cause you know I don't mind taking on each and every one of those sons of bitches”

“What if you get hurt protecting me?” You asked and he smiled “baby I'd do that now but I know for the most part you can handle yourself and don't act like you're not self sacrificing either” you laughed despite yourself “What if you get bored of one woman?” He grinned “unlikely but we can always role play sweetheart. Believe me I mean it when I say you're fucking perfect for me”

“What if…” he cut you off by saying “What if you stop giving me excuses and let me kiss you? We could both die tomorrow and if that happens it happens but I'd rather have a day knowing you were completely my girl then live the rest of our lives just having part of you. I'm yours, you mine?” You nodded “Always. Now kiss me” He grinned “Yes ma'am”

Fr though, how would Halloween work in a society that regularly deals with litteral ghosts and ghouls. Like, are horror movies scarier than hollows??

Man, soul society LOVES a holiday, especially one that involves costumes, reasoning behind the holiday be damned. For them, it's a bit more like Mardi gras than a scary holiday, but on Halloween there are roughly 4 camps:

People who are way more into the Pumpkin Spice part of October than the Spooky Parts: Sasakibe, Isane, Aizen (as part of his cover), Love, KOMAMURA, Tousen (also info-dumping every fun fact about bats to anyone who will listen), Hitsugaya (pre-gaming for Snow Season).

People hosting the Spoopy Halloween Block Party because Halloween is for the KIDS: Omaeda (actually here for the MILFs but that's ok), SHINJI, BYAKUYA, Iba, Kensei, Mashiro, Ikkaku, Kenpachi (but only until 9PM), Mayuri (unfortunately), Urahara, UKITAKE.

People out drinking and pulling Halloween Pranks and wearing slutty costumes because Halloween is for the ADULTS: Soi Fon, Rose, IZURU, Momo (loves horror movies), Hiyroi (actually a huge chicken about horror but loves seeing Momo in a revealing costume), RENJI, SHUNSUI, Nanao, LISA, SHUUHEI, MATSUMOTO, Yumichika, Nemu (she just likes hanging out and having a night off from Mayuri), RUKIA.

People who are stalking the above group in the creepiest makeup/costume they can manage and charging them with real weapons and borderline-genuine killing intent, because Halloween is for the MONSTERS: YAMAMOTO, Kenpachi from 9:01 PM when Yachiru is in bed to sunrise, RETSU.

Forgot it was Halloween because he's a creepy fuck all year round and also bad at remembering what day it is: Gin.

Since you are open for Halloween prompts, how about dialogue prompt #5: “I may or may not have stayed up to watch a horror movie and now I can’t sleep - don’t laugh at me! - can you please come over?” for Nessian! Bonus points if it's Cassian being the scaredy cat lol 😉

Scared, Sweetheart?

Nesta Archeron x Cassian

“I may or may not have stayed up to watch a horror movie and now I can’t sleep - don’t laugh at me! - can you please come over?”

*******

She answered on the first ring.

“I’ve been gone less than three hours,” Nesta rolled her eyes and closed her book, making sure to mark her page before placing it on her lap. “You can’t tell me you miss me already.”

Cassian’s voice rang out clear from her speaker, as did his scoff. “Sweetheart, you should know by now that I always miss you.”

She hummed in affirmation and despite herself felt the corner of her mouth twitch up. “Did you call just to hear my voice, or did you have an actual reason?”

“Do I have to have a reason to call my girlfriend?” He asked almost indignantly, but she noticed that he avoided her question.

“No.” She shuffled to put her book on her coffee table and leaned against the arm of her sofa, glancing briefly into her kitchen to spot the flashing clock on her stove. It was late. Both she and Cassian had to work the next morning, hence why she’d opted not to stay the night at his place. She really should have gone to bed an hour ago but one minute she was picking up her book and the next she was a hundred pages deep. She should be asleep right now – so should Cassian. And while neither were strangers to the occasional late-night phone call, they generally respected each other’s schedules when it came to work. Meaning, she decided to push again for a straight answer. “But…”

He sighed. “I may or may not have stayed up to watch a horror movie and now I can’t sleep – don’t laugh.”

Her first snort was involuntary. The second one wasn’t.

He went on, serious but with a hint of pleading that only made her more amused. “Come over. Please.”

“Why?”

“Why?” he sounded offended. “Why do I want you to—”

“No, I mean why did you watch a horror movie?” She corrected with an eye roll. “You hate horror movies. You only tolerate them with me because I like them, and even then, you can’t go two seconds without holding onto me.”

“Yeah, well, I’d be holding onto you, horror movie or not. And don’t act like you don’t love it because I know you do.” He was right. “And I know that right now you’re rolling your eyes at me, but if I could see you then I’d see you biting your lip trying your best not to smile.”

Damn him. She released her lip from her teeth and doubled down on her questions. “Can we get back to the reason you decided to watch a film that you hate?”

“I don’t hate them,” he argued again. “No, I love ‘em. The scarier, the better. All those creepy-ass demons, deranged serial killers, and bloody massacres, what’s not to love?”

Nesta huffed a laugh and shook her head as she stood from the sofa and stretched, groaning as her stiff joints cracked. “And yet, you watch gory war movies without a problem.”

He sputtered for only a moment. “That gore is historical and generally accurate. If I’m watching one of those and someone’s bleeding out it's not because an undead, satanical, nightmare-inducing creature is making a meal out of them.”

“Mhm, so you admit horror movies give you nightmares?”

Nesta waited as she searched for a clean pair of dress pants she could wear into the office tomorrow, carefully folding them and placing them in a bag before aiming for her bathroom to collect her small go-bag of toiletries.

“Irrelevant,” Cassian finally answered, and she could hear rustling in the background as if he was settling into bed. “Are you coming over or not?”

They both knew she was.

So instead of answering, she asked another question, still not understanding why he would not only choose a horror movie but then watch it all the way through. “You did know what movie you were playing, right?”

More rustling.

“Yes, and?”

She thought she heard the faintest trace of a smile in his voice which stopped her in her tracks as she neared the front door.

“Did you watch that movie just to have a reason to call me back over there tonight?”

“Yes, and?”

She absolutely heard the grin in his words this time. Leaning her forehead against her door and loosing a long-suffering sigh, she tried and failed to hold back a smile.

“You’re an idiot.” Nesta stepped out of her apartment and locked the door behind her.

“Your idiot.”

“Yeah,” she agreed, half grumbling half chuckling, with another roll of her eyes as she walked towards her car, “my idiot.”

Just Watched Longlegs

Yea you know that NEON movie that people say have an amazing promotion strategy. Like, seriously, it's amazing.

Half psychic FBI agent Lee Harker attempts to pursue a serial killer named Longlegs who may have caused families to butcher each other.

It's so good!! Rather than pure horror, it's basically serial killer mystery but with supernatural element. Kinda like Se7en, but make it satanic.

Well it's not that level yet. And it's not like you're gonna come out of the theater feeling devastated like you would after seeing Se7en or Hereditary, but it's still great.

I know some say it's overhyped, probably due to the aforementioned promotion materials. But hey, from marketing and business standpoint, they work.

I personally think that I got what I expected. I never bought the "most terrifying movie of the year" line after all.

I love how the story ties everything from the trailers, from the out-of-context photos to scattered messages, and it comes full circle.

Shout out to Nic Cage. I don't like his creepy falsetto and dragging speeches at all (affectionate). He was never shown in all of the promotional material, so I was looking forward to his appearance in the movie. At first I was like "Ah not that scary huh" but after looking more closely, it's more on the unnerving side. It's like if Joker is a witch and has botched plastic surgeries and hasn't slept since then. If anything, what he says, how he says it, what he does and why he does it is what makes Longlegs scarier than his face.

For a character named Longlegs, his legs are never a focal point in a scene tho AFAIK. I actually wanted an explanation why he names himself Longlegs.

Maika Monroe is also great as Lee Harker. I love the little details of her character, like spartan working spot, ability to remember numbers and codes fast, generally avoiding eye contacts, and even her standing posture is awkward. It raises so many questions ("is she autistic? or is this the result of being a psychic? or both? or something else?") that her character as a half-psychic FBI agent unique.

Is it just me or THAT HELLISH soundeffect in the trailer didn't go into the actual movie? Well if it did and I didn't notice, I guess the placement wasn't good enough cuz it's too damn CHILLING to be missed.

My biggest protest is, well this is kinda spoilerific but let's just say, aren't America the land of guns? Or idk pick a random ass weapon and finish it instead of staring. Yeah I know it's an emotional and questions-inducing scene but still...

Oh and the snake. Yes I know what snake implies but I was actually waiting for a clearer visual instead of implications.

And I feel like what happens between Lee and her mother could be more emotional than what's being shown. I'm not gonna say anything more than that.

Tl;Dr the movie that SHOULD win an award for Best Movie Marketing.

5, 21 and 22 for the horror ask thing. For 5 personally I'd love to see more folk horror (like the wickerman) but no othee folk horrors hit the same. Maybe thats just my Scots Bias tho. Anyways i love seeing people talk horror. :)

thanks so much for asking!!! I love seeing people talk horror too, and I've never seen the wicker man so I gotta see it now :D

5. a subgenre you would love to watch more of/see more movies being made in the subgenre technically a movement rather than a subgenre, but german expressionism! I fell in love with everything about “nosferatu,” and though it’s not horror, I adore “metropolis” too. next I really need to watch more films like “the cabinet of dr. caligari” and “the golem: how he came into the world”. the influence this movement had on later films is absolutely bonkers and I love it

21. a horror movie you like that a lot of people dislike I feel like most unpopular movies I like are horror comedies/ones that get silly and campy with it. some that are intentionally self-aware spoofs on established genres are “dracula! dead and loving it” (mel brooks/leslie nielsen madness), “psycho beach party” (a wild blend of a bunch of 50s-70s genres and also lots of queer subtext/text), and “renfield” (you saw the ads. the cop character sucks but everything else about it is as if they made a movie specially tailored to 13-year-old me). then there are others that are so damn stupid it loops all the way around to being a blast: “jason x” (jason…in SPACE!), “the evil clergyman” (jeffrey combs and barbara crampton in yet another lovecraft story, this time with evil ghost priest sex and a man-faced rat), and “sundown: the vampire in retreat” (featuring bruce campbell as ultra babygirl van helsing). I blame my love for bad horror comedies on watching svengoolie as a kid lmao. if you haven’t already, check out his show!!

22. a horror character that actually creeps you out/scares you honestly, the clowns from “killer klowns from outer space”. I don’t have a problem with clowns anytime else, it’s just with these guys there’s something about their eyes and how flesh-y and tangible they look… which is a big testament to how great the practical effects are! to me, practical suits and puppets are always scarier than CGI, but usually my fascination with how they work (like in “the thing,” “an american werewolf in london,” and “from beyond,” chef’s kiss x10000 holy shit) overpowers the fear :}

thanks again for asking! if you or anyone else have any horror reccs i’d love to hear them :]

What do you think of the pets and Halloween?

Hmm, ok so this one won't be how I usually write those, it will be just a collective thing instead of describing each of them cuties.

If possible they celebrate Halloween together, unless someone is out of town, sick, etc. They're dedicated, they have costumes each time. They used to each have their own costume but after a while they really liked an idea of group theme, so they would look alike. For example, one time they were all dressed like goddamn amogus crewmates (Vinnie and Minka were impostors). Other time they had a theme or just dressing as monsters of their choice, so vampires, werewolves, ghosts etc.

Yeah, they do go trick or treating and while waiting for a person to open the door all of them, besides Russell and Zoe, chant: "Candy, candy, candy!" Zoe actually gives away most of her candies to the others because she doesn't want to consume too much sugar.

After that, they return to one of their houses, usually Zoe's (bc her house is big and that's always nice), Penny's or Minka's (bc they always really put their heart and soul into decorating and want to show that off). Besides eating their candies, one of the things they do is telling scary stories. Or at least they tried, because it turned out that it's quite hard to come up with scary stories like that. Penny Ling's good at story telling but not exactly the scary ones, though they all decided that they like her stories too much to just pass an opportunity like that. So she tells a story anyway, though for Halloween's sake she does try to add some scary stuff. The one that is always ready with a genuinely scary story is Pepper (I mean, have you seen her story in this one Halloween episode? I think it was 5th episode of season 4. Like, it was genuinely kinda disturbing, especially for a primarily children show).

They do carve pumpkins and usually leave them at whomever house they are at, so they can look cool standing there together.

Also, Sunil and Vinnie being biggest horror movies fans of course revel in it all. As they said, they hate to love it or love to hate it. Damn masochists. And so they always end their Haloween with watching some horror movie, or just a scary movie in general. If they can't come up with anything or agree on one they will just watch some true crime videos, they are true stories after all so in a way even scarier than most movie. So yeah, they do usually stay at that person's house overnight. Zoe has given each of them a kigurumi for their birthday one year so whenever they all stay together overnight they wear them. Sure, it's not very Halloween-like but they do that.

Oh, also one time the costume theme was just dressing up as s'omething that scares you' (and is possible to be represented by clothes, so you know, stuff like 'existential dread' doesn't count, lol). It was a catastrophy. Russell did NOT want to dress up as a marshmallow, Pepper just came as Zoe ("No, no, no, it's angry Zoe specifically"). Vinnie just came dressed as usual ("Vinnie, I don't think you understood, you were supposed to dress up as something that you are afraid of." "I know." "You're dressed as yourself." "Exactly."), and Sunil tried to wear a spider costume but kept getting scared by it each time he though about it too much ("Get it off me, get it off!").

Once when Russell, Sunil, Zoe, and Penny got out for a while to fetch something they return to the room they were in and Minka and Pepper were basically sacrificing Vinnie to demons. They had a makeshift pentagram and some candles, it didn't help that with that flexibility of his Vinnie was in the most unholy position on that pentagram - pretzel pose.

Goofy goobers.

Anthony’s Stupid Daily Blog (467): Tue 27th Jun 2023

Read about the horrifying case of the “house party killer”. This was a school kid named Tyler who hated his parents for not letting him have any fun and specially have a party. One day Tyler grew so tired of his parents for being, in his opinion, so overbearing that he killed both of them and hid the bodies in the house then advertised a huge party at his house which hundreds of people came to, completely unaware that his dead parents were in the bedroom. Now if this had been the plot of the Kevin and Perry movie I think it would be a lot less fondly remembered but it would have gone down as one of the most shocking twists in movie history. The really sinister thing about this incident is that Tyler actually confessed what he had done to his best friend who remained at the party completely shocked by what he had just been made aware of. A mutual friend then came up and got them to pose for a photo of the two friends and it’s damn sinister to look at this photograph knowing what the two friends know. Looking at the friends face you can tell that he’s just wondering what to do and whether he should tell anyone but you can’t even begin to imagine what Tyler is thinking at the moment this pic was snapped. He has somewhat of a blank expression on his face but he’s also holding up a cup in celebratory toasting fashion. It’s hard to tell if he’s consumed by regret and he’s just putting on a front for the camera or if he genuinely has no remorse over what he has done.  

I also re-watched the amazing music video for the Aphex Twin song “Come To Daddy”. This thing still looks scarier and more well made than 90% of the horror movies I’ve seen. I can’t believe that such a niche musical artist managed to secure the kind of budget necessary to produce these kind of amazing effects. The shot where the demon is screaming into the face of the old lady in particular is stunning and u like anything I’ve seen in a movie or TV show. Why would anyone have invested into making this? It’s not the kind of thing that’s ever going to have mainstream appeal. You couldn’t be showing this on Top of the Pops or on a music channel in he middle of the day (sure enough it ended up getting banned by MTV for being too scary). Maybe Aphex Twin caught a rich music mogul on a good day and convinced him to plow a good chunk of change into this musical nightmare.

when     you     think     too     hard     on     it,      you     come    to     the      conclusion    that     it     could    be    just    who    you’ve    always     been.       

RICHIE     TOZIER,       the     kid     with     a     mouth      that     worked     five    times     faster     than     his     brain,      shootin’      words    out    left    and     right     and     saying     damn     the     consequences.       

RICHIE     TOZIER,      the      kid     with     a     secret,     a     real     bad      secret.        one     the     clown     knew,       one     that       vecna     had     knew,      the     one      @wizardslays     knows     best     of     all.        

HE     KNOWS     YOU     INSIDE     AND    OUT,       just     like     they      do.        the     difference?        THAT     WAS     NEVER     SUPPOSED    TO     FUCKING     TERRIFY     YOU!

it     hadn’t     for     a      while.      ever     since     that     shift     from     friends    to     something     more,     that     week     in     california     that’s     engraved    into    your     memory     (     a    day    at     the     diner     now     tainted    by     vecna     ),       you     had     been      embracing     these     feelings.       even    if     it    was     only     will     who     knew.       you     didn’t     fucking     care.      he     made     you     feel     good.      safe.      secure.      sane.       everything    he     doesn’t     make     you     feel     right     now. 

warmth    has     been     replaced    by     something     colder.      it     should    be     expected,     right?      with      a     recovering     broken     arm      and     fucked    sight     now     completely    fucking    fucked,      you    were    bound    to    come    back     different.      when    you’re    around    will     now,     you    feel    fucking    sick.       you’re     suddenly     on     the    outskirts    of     castle    byers    all    over    again,     his    arms    around    you,      the    world    around    you    black    and    the     taste    of    salt    &    iron     heavy    on    your    tongue     as     you     scream     for    him     to      help     you,      do     fucking     anything     to     stop     the     pain     overtaking    you.        he     had     apologized,      and     it     had    made     your     blood    run     cold     the    second    you    were    aware    enough    to    realize  �� what    it    had    meant.      you     don’t    know    how    the    fuck     it’s    possible     for     that     asshole     to     still     have    a     hold     on     will.       thought    you’d    know     will     enough     to     realize    if    that     thing     had     never    really    detached,     but     you     hadn’t     fucking    known    then    either,    huh,     rich?      

you     didn’t     even     want    to     fucking    be     here.     in     fact,     when    your     mom     had     been    pretty     insistent    on    the    idea    of     you    staying    home   &     all     but    swearing    off    your    friends,      you    actually     wanted    to    fucking    listen    to    her!      that     stupid    goddamn     nagging     voice     at    the    back    of    your     mind      had     been     your     downfall.      this    isn’t    over,     and    as     much    as    you    hate    this,    as    fucking    afraid    as    you    are,     you’re     still     involved.      you     have     to     help     end      this,     and     that    means     facing     will     to     save     him     too    as     painful    as    it    is.       

the     cabin     feels     much     fucking     scarier     when     it’s     not    packed     with    the     entire    crew,      when     the    night’s    coming    to    a    close    and    everyone’s     tucked    away     in     their     respective    places.      it’s    just    you    and     will    on    hopper’s    couch,     reminiscent    to     that     thursday     night    in     california    when     some    horror    flick     had    been     playing    and     you    cared    more     about    fucking    with    william    than    the    movie    and    he    cared    more    about    kissing    you     than    anything    else.      the    thought    would’ve   made    you     smile    any    other    time,    made    you     crack    a     joke     and     grab    his    hand,      steal    a    quick    kiss    before    anyone    came    around.      

this    isn’t    california    though.      this    is    hawkins,     and     you    can’t    watch    a     horror    movie    when    you’re    living    one.     can’t    steal    a     glance    at     will     when    you    can’t    even    see.      can’t     reach    for    his    hand    when    the    very    thought    of     touching    him    makes    you    want    to    fucking    recoil.

the     silence    is     almost    deafening,      the    air     thick    and     heavy,     and    it’s    when     you    hear    will    shift    beside    you     that     you     stand.      “fuck,    i      need    to    call     my     mom    to    come    get    me    before    she    sends    a     fucking    search     party    after     me.”     voice    cuts     through     the     air,     and    you    go    to    make    a    move    until    you    realize    you    don’t    know    how    to    navigate   this    space    yet.     before    you    can    stop     it,     will’s     hand    is    taking    hold    of     you    and      the     beat    of    your    heart    picks    up.      you     know    he’s     looking    at     you,     that     feeling    is     in    your    fucking    bones.      “y’gonna    help    me    to    the    phone,     william?     can’t    just    stand    around    all     night.”

❝  please stay.  i don’t think i can be alone tonight.  ❞

OKAY,     you     want    to    say.      you     really    fucking     do.      it’s    on    the    tip    of    your    tongue,     a     desire    so    strong    you    could    choke    on     it.     when    ya     ask     all     nicely    like     that,     william,    my    dear,     how    could    i    ever    say     no?         IT’S     NOT     WILL.       not    all    of    the     time.      not    when     you     needed    him     most.      so,     you     swallow    down    that     desire    like    a    tough    fucking    pill     and     you    shake    your    head.     “my    mom’s    going     batshit    fucking    insane    over    me     right    now,     will.     you     know     that.      c’mon.     show    me    where    the    phone    is.”

ethan

- it wasn’t actually planned to watch a horror movie at first, but when you and ethan got to the theatres you realized that the movie that u guys planned to watch had actually just sold out of seats

- and ethan was kind of bummed over it bc he was looking forward to a movie date with u but he got over it quickly, and offered u to choose one instead

- u took a peak at the movie posters nearby and saw one that caught ur eye and you were like. that one.

- he doesn’t really think much of it honestly he’s like “okay! whatever u say” cos let’s be honest he just wants to spend time w u he didn’t come for the movie he don’t care

- so when you guys finally took ur seats and started watching, ethan didn’t know what to expect at all so when the jumpscare came he jolted in his seat and was like WHAT THE FUCK

- he turns to u, expecting u to have the same reaction, but u just kept watching??? not even bothering to look his way LMAOOO

- so ethan’s kind of surprised but he’s proud!! he has a s/o that doesn’t get scared easily what a badass

- after that first jumpscare he relaxes back into his chair and all the scary scenes that happened afterwards he glances at you (and u still had no reaction) n he can’t help but feel at awe at how both invested and nonchalant u were at the movie bc it had ethan lowkey shaking in his seat LOL

- when the movie finished u were talking about just how good the movie was while u guys walked home, and ethan was like ,,,hey that didn’t scare you at all? and you replied “ofc not, i don’t get scared by horror movies!” while beaming at him

- and u look good as fuck smiling so ethan feels his face grow warm n ykw he’s happy he learned something new about u

- also he’s lowkey impressed so W. he now has an additional excuse to bring u on more dates

harry

- horror movies don’t scare this boy but he isn’t the biggest fan of them either

- so when you guys were crashing at harry’s house, u decided to watch a movie and harry’s fine with it bc he’s with u :D

- and there was a new movie trending in the program he uses to watch movies n it interested u so u asked if he could watch it with u

- harry’s whipped so obviously he says to go ahead

- like ethan, he doesn’t know what to expect at first but harry quickly realized it was a horror movie about 1/3 into the story

- he nudges u and tells u that it was going to be a horror movie (he wasn’t sure if u were into that sort of stuff) he’s surprised when u reassure him that it’s fine

- like said before he’s not a huge fan of horror movies even tho he could handle them as well u can, so he huddles next to u and wraps a large blanket around the two of u with a bowl of snacks

- u guys just relax the entire time bc no matter how terrifying the movie got harry’s warmth was such an overwhelming, comfortable presence so it didn’t matter at all

- after the movie ended, u guys got way too comfortable and u both really didn’t want to move, so it ended up as a horror movie binge night with you sitting on his lap, arms wrapped around ur waist with the blanket wrapped around harry’s head as u two continued to invest urselves in the movie

- drifted off to sleep at around 5 am fucked up sleep schedule gang wya

- horror movies would usually induce nightmares or sleepless nights, but u guys slept peacefully with a good dream that night (or morning, since the sun was basically rising by the times u guys slept lol)

zion

- sneaky lil shit

- zion thinks he’s slick because u know the basic “watch a horror movie with ur s/o, it’s so cute when they burrow into your arms so they feel like they’re protected!!!”

- and he thinks he’s a genius so he invites u over to his place to watch one of the more scarier movies

- he’s a “gentleman” somewhat so he chooses a more tame movie, like one with just one or two jumpscares

- you both were huddled in front of the television screen and zion kept touching shoulders with u and making snarky remarks like “huh y/n u scared yet? i bet ur scared >:)”

- however, he underestimated the horror movie’s scary level so when the first jumpscare came around he’s caught off guard

- expected u to hug his waist or something in reaction but he’s genuinely surprised when u just kept watching on like it was nothing

- after the movie ends, you said “damn that was it?? zion i expected more i thought u were going to show me a scary movie!!”

- tbh all zion hears is more time with u so he’s like BET and chooses the next few horror movies that were on and doesn’t even bother to watch them, he’s just staring at u intensely to see if u have any reaction

- there wasn’t

- he was pretty sad that his plan to get u into his arms failed but he takes pride in having a s/o that can watch scary stuff with ease

- also he’s a huge fan of horror themes so now there is a golden opportunity to now have u play scary games with him if ur interested of course

- secretly praising himself for inviting u to watch horror movies bc now he gets to share his hobbies with u!!!

- but zion is extremely easy to read so u already figured out his secret plan all along

- “just ask me to cUDDLE WITH U LIKE A NORMAL PERSON U IDIOT”

- “YOU FIGURED IT OUT???”

eugene

- you were actually the one who suggested watching a horror movie with him

- you guys took a trip to the theatres but none of u guys had anything particular in mind which was like mind boggling to eugene cos he was like WAIT,,, I THOUGHT WE CAME HERE BC U KNEW WHAT TO WATCH and u were like NO WAY ME TOO ???

- so obviously there was some improvisation and u did the suggestion

- and eugene’s like “pfffft u think u can handle a scary movie??”

- he’s not easily scared tho, he has the “well it’s just a movie, it can’t hurt me” mindset so he doesn’t mind watching a horror movie at all

- he’s more concerned about you honestly, but yk him he’s not gonna say it out loud >:( tsundere looking ass

- and obv since none of u guys minded u went ahead and seated ourselves in the movies

- eugene’s relaxed and all,,, but he does get quite jumpy whenever an unexpected scene happens

- so when they rolled around he made an audible gasp and glanced at u immediately

- u were already looking at him with an amused face bc ur normally tsundere bf just got jumpscared LOOOL

- eugene doesn’t really care if u were or weren’t scared by the movies

- but eugene was like WOWWWWWW Y/N I SEE HOW IT IS when he saw u laughing at him

- watched the rest of the movie with him sulking but u did hold his hand after tho (begrudgingly LOL)

- was jokingly mad at you but after the movie ends, he presses a kiss to your cheek and asked if u wanted to watch another in the theatres after u guys refilled ur snacks

lawrence

- honestly, his thought process was the exact same as zion’s

- lawrence enjoys having u in his arms while ur vulnerable bc he likes the idea of being ur protector

- he’s far far more discreet about it and purposefully leads u to watch a movie with him, and chooses a movie with an innocent looking poster so u wouldn’t see what was coming >:D

- he thinks your innocence is adorable so he’s super eager to show u a scary movie

- lawrence already knows what’s going to happen in the movie so he’s super prepared and he’s honestly only staring at you

- but when u were just there relaxing and calmly watching the movie with some people getting bludgeoned or something lawrence was like,, “this isn’t part of the plan HOLD UP”

- kind of disappointed that there wasn’t any reaction but you guys made it up afterwards because when u exited the movie theater with your arm around his, you were excitedly talking about the entire thing and you said something like “lawrence!!! i didn’t know you were into horror movies, you picked such a good one!”

- his disappointment washes off immediately because seeing your face light up was so cute and it was 100% more worth it than some cheap tactic ironic lawrence

- he nuzzles your hair and replies that he’d knew that u’d like it (he did not)

- lawrence comes up with like,,, 294713 more plans to get cuddles from u after

- but you see through it bc he’s cute when he’s needy so let it slide plsplspls and give my favorite psycho some love <3

HeliosR - Victor Valentine Card story ‘‘Seeking for what’s frightening’’

Translation of Victor Valentine’s 4* ‘’Gothic Halloween’’ card story from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.

Gray: Uwah, amazing… Did you make this, Victor-san…?

Victor: Yes, this robot was built by me. I’m occupied with pouring all my time into producing these for the upcoming Halloween League.

Gray:  I had assumed you were leaning more towards biochemistry… But to be able to build robots too, that’s seriously amazing...

Victor: As you thought my area of expertise is chemistry, however if I had to be honest, I barely have the confidence to manufacture these… 

Victor: And on top of it, I had been also struggling with the design itself...

Gray: Eh… Wondering if it has enough punch to it, you mean… I already think it’s scary enough as is though....

Victor: Adding that pinch of “scary” has been considerably difficult. I’ve been making these as requested by Marion, but as far as the details go, I’ve only received how it should be thematically based on “evil spirits of Halloween”.

Victor: Naturally I have referred to literature to form a general outline on the matter, but what traits resemble an “evil spirit”, about it having a factor of “spookiness” to it...  No matter how far I go with investigating the matter, I simply cannot draw the line where it’d be most suitable.

Gray: Like evil spirits… spookiness….

Victor: What is your impression of it, Gray? Do you think it’s able to represent those traits of an “evil spirit”?

Gray: Eh? Eeeh… uh, um…

Victor: Please do not hold yourself back, and be as candid as you can.

Gray: Be as candid as I can… Right, right...

Gray: Whether or not it looks like one, I can say that it’s absolutely close but… Um… on the contrary, it might actually be a bit too scary... 

Gray: H-how do I say this… It’s like originally you were going for CERO A but ended up heading towards CERO D instead…?

Victor: CERO……? What may that be?

Gray: Ah… awawah, sorry…. I used a game rating system for scale… a Japanese one too…

Gray: The Halloween League is an event that children will attend, in terms of gaming that would be for an event for all ages...

Gray: But, as of now it feels more that it’s heading towards a more mature audience… So I was thinking all like, how about aiming for a younger one instead~... but please don’t mind it too much...

Victor: Hmm, I see…That is very interesting, or I should rather say an intriguing point of view.

Victor: I will do as you said and make an attempt to aim for a younger demographic, however with how it has been currently going, I don’t quite have the grasp on what I should do to change it.

Victor: If you don’t mind, could you tell me more about video games for all ages to use as a reference point going forward?

Gray: !! O-ofcourse…!

-

Victor: Hooh.... Even though it’s shortly summed up as for all ages, there seems to be quite a variety of video games.

Gray: For now I kept it limited and looked up horror games that came to mind… You’d come across even more games if you were to look it up

Gray: Uuum… if you’re looking for a game that has enemies that are “evil spirit”-like, then maybe this one…?

Victor: Yes, that kind of caricature is good. It gives an impression closely resembling the ones in animation for children. 

Gray: P-personally I think it’s good if it’s as scary as these enemy characters here but… That is for you to decide...

Victor: Hmm…. If I were to judge from your perspective, would this be more scarier?

Gray: Eh? Yes… it, would be….?

Gray: I feel, that the difference is pretty obvious but… you don’t seem to think so, Victor-san?

Victor: Indeed. Even though we’re going in a different direction, I don’t feel that any of them are frightening, thus making it difficult to judge.

Gray: R-right…

Gray: Uh… I’m just asking this out of curiosity but… Is there, something that you’re scared of, Victor-san…?

Victor: Something that I’m scared of?

Gray: Ah, aaah, uuum, it’s just… it’s okay if it’s too hard to answer, or if you don’t want to! I suddenly asked something weird anyway, I’m sorry….

Victor: Fufu, what are you apologizing for? I don’t believe it was odd by any means.

Victor: Something I’m scared of… you ask? I haven’t played any video games before so on that matter I have nothing to say, and in regards to horror movies I don’t recall being frightened once. 

Gray: Eh… so you’re like, totally fine with ghosts and demons and all that…?

Victor: More that I don’t believe in such things due to my point of view as a scientist, rather than being fine with it.

Victor: Well, realistically speaking “Ghosts believing scientists” such as Nova are not too uncommon out there.

Victor: I do want to believe in the possibility of it… Unfortunately, I have yet to see a theory that justifies it to begin with. 

Gray: Wah… you’re amazing, Victor-san…. Makes me a bit embarrassed given how I accidentally believe in anything...

Victor: No, I wouldn’t say that I am. I do occasionally envy those who are able to simply enjoy horror movies as is.

Gray: Is that so…?

Victor: Do you have any issues when it comes to horror and occult, Gray?

Gray: Aah, no… I’ve built up a tolerance for it because of games that are full of it...

Gray: Besides, I think… humans are scarier than any ghost or demon, 100 times more scarier even….

Victor: Human themselves…. For example, such as Asch Albright?

Gray: !! Eh, eeeeh…. yes… His name alone makes me sweat bullets, weirdly enough...

Gray: But, not just A….sch, but I’m scared of coming in contact with other people in general...

Gray: Even before talking to them actually, like what if they hate me…. what if they think I’m weird… that’s all I end up thinking about

Victor: Which means that you are currently feeling the same sense of dread when talking to me this moment?

Gray: T-that’s right… Aaah, but, you’re not scary Victor-san… Um, it’s just...

Victor: Yes, I understand. I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t believe there’s anything odd about you, Gray. 

Gray: V-Victor-san….!

Victor: My apologies for getting us sidetracked. Could you lend me your wisdom for a little longer? 

Gray: Ah, yes… yes of course!

--

Nova: Oooh, looks like you made a lotta progress~ Making ghouls and all♪

Victor: I was able to because of the advice I had received from Gray, and so I was finally able to see the light.

Nova: Good pals with Gray-kun now, eh? Well with Ren-kun too but, lately more people have been dropping by your lab. Lookit this celebrity here~♪

Victor: ...You’re surprisingly in a good mood today, aren’t you now?

Nova: Mmh, haven’t slept so I’m feeling somewhat all over the place

Nova: I’ve been absorbed into making these robots too, and before I knew it three whole days had passed~ That scared me real good, yanno

Nova: Wait a second, nobody came to see me in these three days….!? I wanna be a celeb tooooo~!

Victor: How about resting your mind and body, rather than dawdling around here?

Nova: Naaw~ The adrenaline’s coursing through my veins, not feeling tired in the slightest~ 

Nova: Whatever you say, making these robots is right where I belong. Had lotsa fun doing it too

Nova: Obviously I’m paying enough attention to safety and all that, but there’s more space to feel at ease compared to what I usually do for work….

Nova: Not that I’m forgetting substance research by any means, it’s just pretty nerve-racking when combined with making assets and tools for the heroes to fight with 

Nova: Didn’t mean to pay that much mind to it, still it’s a heavy responsibility to have one’s life in your hands... 

Nova: Makes me go all like, damn, this fear of failure and what to do about it sure is always growing ain’t it now!~ like some kinda realisation each time, yanno

Victor: ….., fear….

Nova: You’re always doing such a fantastic job, me~

Nova: A Summerfieldtastic job~....

Victor: …….

Nova: Eh, no response!? Here I was putting all my energy into being an idiot, and instead of straight manning me, you straight up ignore me!?

Victor: Aah, my apologies… There was something on my mind.

Victor: What did you say?

Nova: I-I didn’t say a word! Vic’s a dummy! I’m gonna go to my room and sleep! Good-NIGHT!!!

Victor: …..?

Fun trivia corner:

The Japanese game rating goes from CERO A to D, and Z. All ages would be CERO A, for 12 years old and above CERO B, for 15 years old and above CERO C, for 17 years old and above CERO D, and at last CERO Z for 18 and above. The European one is PEGI with age specific ratings (PEGI-3, or PEGI-18) and the American one is ESRB, with letter codes such as T for teen, M for mature, and so on. Helios is rated as 12+ on the Apple app store, that would be CERO A, PEGI-12 or ESRB T.

MIYA TWINS.

➜ oh my goodness, i pray so hard and dearly for your parents because y'all are WILD WILD

➜ when you guys were young, you know those videos of twins confusing their baby on who's their parent??

➜ yeah THESE TWO TRIED IT WITH YOU

➜ it was probably atsumu's dumb idea

➜ he watched it a few days ago in youtube

➜ so he suggested it to osamu which begrudgingly accepted, curious on how you would react

“ c'mon, come to big brother 'samu ”

➜ atsumu says as he stretches his arms out to you while you're oblivious poor innocent ass was doing the grabby hands to him

➜ ngl you looked so cute he felt a little guilty for what's to come

➜ while osamu sits next to him with a monotonous expression

“ no, i'm big brother 'samu ”

➜ your head spun to his direction

➜ and you're just like 👁👄👁

➜ while switching left and right in confusion as you dropped your arms down so fucking fast LMAO

➜ while atsumu was trying so hard, really he promised he won't laugh so soon, that osamu keeps pestering him to shut his bitch as up

➜ until the faintest of sobs were heard, forcing their mini argument to a halt

“ will you stay quiet ─ ”

“ ─ oh no no no, please don't cry ”

➜ osamu is in distraught because he actually doesn't know how to take care of a child crying

➜ while astumu is trying to carry you

“ hngg i ─ hic ─ want big brother 'samu ─ hic ! ”

➜ bitch almost wanted to drop you right then and there honestly

➜ he's like ??? DOES THIS BITCH EVEN KNOW I EXIST EYE??

➜ and when osamu heard you calling out to him, something in him snapped

“ i knew this was a bad idea ─ ”

➜ as he shoved atsumu off of you, hugging you as he tries to coo you, whispering “ shh . . don't ya worry, yer big brother 'samu is here ”

➜ this MANS OHMYGOD

➜ your cries seemed to have ceased as atsumu is standing there like ??

➜ i'm thEIR BROTHER TOO !!

➜ bb boy held a grudge on you for a few weeks ngl

➜ but then you grew up and now you know that you actually have two (2) big bro 'samu

➜ but more annoying & bitchy

➜ you're their favourite victim to bully

➜ well, atsumu

➜ but they won't let their teasing lead to you crying because they actually can't stand the sight of their younger sibling crying

➜ contrary to popular belief, when you realized there was another big bro 'samu, you were now attached to atsumu while he's similing smugly and triumphly at osamu

➜ atsumu would 100% be very competitive for your attention though he makes you hate him whenever he bullies you

➜ but we all know osamu hates losing

➜ so there was definitely a time of your life that their fighting over who was the best big brother

➜ ugh y'all cute cute

➜ while you're helping osamu around the kitchen, atsumu would just watch from the side lines because the kitchen is kinda yours and osamu's thing

➜ though while in his earlier years, he'd get upset because he wants you to hang out with him too :(

➜ while you have the cooking thing with osamu, you have the baking thing with atsumu

➜ shh hear me out

➜ osamu is actually not good at baking shit

➜ the first time he attempted baking was when you joined a baking club & now you're obsessed with making cupcakes and all that good good

➜ and he wanted to also try and back

➜ and how and what did he do to make your cupcakes look like dog shit was beyond you

➜ and while smelling something burning, atsumu ran to the kitchen and after realizing what osamu did

➜ he'd try and make your next batch of cupcakes presentable

➜ because he's?? actually?? good at it??

➜ and now you guys have your baking sessions and brother 'tsumu bonding time

➜ but even though you guys have other things with the other person, you guys LOVED doing chores together

➜ like, your guys' mom would make the boys clean the bathroom and before you knew it, LIKE YOU WENT THERE JUST TO TALK TO THEM WHILE THEY CLEAN, you find yourself cleaning the toilet necause atsumu ain't doing that shit

➜ washing dishes?? that as well

➜ you and atsumu would be the ones washing while osmu would do the drying

➜ 11/10 of the time would leave you guys a damped mess

➜ while cleaning the kitchen, i absoloutely headcanon, like STRONGLY

➜ that you guys would just talk either about random shit, talk shit about someone honestly, or quote reality tv shows

➜ like one thing you would be sweeping the kitchen floor,  and while sweeping, you accidentally hit the trash bin hard that the contents flew out of it as it fell down the floor

➜ and atsumu's like : “ pooja what is this behaviour?? ”

➜ then something clicked in you that made you remember that one show bigg boss something

➜ and you'd be like : “ i'm sorry i kicked it ny mistake ”

➜ osamu would roll his eyes before joining you two :  “ you can't kick it by mistake ”

➜ “ then pick it up if it bothers you ”

➜ ugh y'all aRE ICONS

➜ y'all would be at the pool and atsumu would shout “ oh no my diamond earing is gone ”

➜ and osamu would reply “ kim, there's people that are dying. ”

➜ you'll be their biggest fan in the court

➜ whenever they play with you on the sidelines something in them just snapped and they'll be scoring points by points in a row

➜ they lowkey love to show off

➜ if you're a girl, every fangirl of they have would be wary of you at first, but then realized that you were just their little sister

➜ and to their bisexual fans, they would ngl have a huge ass crush on you too

➜ and if you're a boy as well, oH MY GOD WOULD THEY HAVE FALLEN AMD CAN'T GET UP

➜ LIKE BITCH THE MIYA GENES ARE THRIVING IN THE THREE OF YOU

➜ you bet they'd be throwing hands if someone decided to break your heart

➜ though, osamu would be the more rational one

➜ if they ever meet your s/o, atsumu would want to rile them up while osamu is just being calm but the scarier one of the two?? but he knows you don't need any protecting because you know how to do it yourself & you don't have any need for that

➜ 12/10 would recommend as brothers

➜ in conclusion, you guys may not always get along, but you know damn well they care about you and would apologize right away if they did something too far. and you guys are such good sibling goals😤

BOKUTO KOUTARO.

➜ definitely know how to deal with his emo mode

➜ since you guys grew up together

➜ and sadly, you didn't have an akaashi to help you out with it while you were young

➜ like he'd be the older brother but you would probably be the more mature one

➜ but while you guys were young, he was your knight & shinning armor

➜ like when you scraped your knee while trying to catch him, he'll do a 180° and bitch has never ran faster to you than that time

➜ & if you were crying because of it, he'll make stupid jokes but it'll always make you forget about the pain in your knee

➜ and it's one of those times that you could really see that he was actually older than you

➜ then he'll piggyback you back to your house

➜ homeboy be reliable even while he was young wow

➜ and even 'till now

➜ if you ever got sick or injured

➜ or god forbid, HEARBROKEN by someone

➜ a bitch will throw hands

➜ but before that he'll make you laugh & do his best to take your mind off whatever is causing you to hurt

➜ ngl you would always look up to him, even if he may seem childish

➜ he'll hang out with you the rest of the day, he doesn't care if it's a school day, he'll drag akaashi with him

➜ my boy here GIVES THE BEST ADVICES

➜ though he may reword them differently, but his advices never seemed to fail you

➜ fights don't usually happen, and if they do they're probably serious

➜ he's the type of brother that lets you sneak out the house

➜ he'll usually back you up in everything

➜ and this bitch would take the fall for your faults

➜ ugh WE STAN

➜ but also if you sneak out the house to your significant other, bb boy has to know their number, address, occupation etc.

➜ because he ain't having a broken hearted sibling

➜ and he just wants the best for you

➜ and in the future, though he may be busy with being a professional volleyball player;

➜ he'll always have time for you

➜ he'll cLEAR OUT HIS SCHEDULE JUST FOR YOU

➜ you're that urgent to him

➜ your his first best friend before volleyball

➜ speaking of volleyball, if you aren't found in the stands in his matches ─ he'll go TO EMO MODE Y'ALL

➜ because you're usually always there in his games and it makes him give all his 120%

➜ since he's usually busy, he'll ALWAYS have those covey sisters movie nights

➜ if ykyk

➜ he's a sucker for family bonding time ogey

➜ the type to binge watch all the hsm movies & know all the lyrics to all the songs

➜ the type to defend sharpay with all his might

➜ and you guessed it right

➜ sharpay is his favourite character

➜ no one tell me otherwise

➜ THE TYPE TO DUET SONGS WITH YOU

➜ HIS FAVOURITE?

➜ EVERY SHARPAY & RYAN SONGS

➜ HE'LL BE SHARPAY AND YOU'LL BE RYAN

➜ AND THAT'S ON BOP TO THE TOP

➜ hates horror movies

➜ so if you ever watch it with him, he won't leave your side for the rest of the night & will have a sleepover on the living room

➜ f o r t s

➜ loves doing ridiculous challanges

➜ your phone would be BOMBARDED with crackhead videos of him

➜ probably broke a bone or two ngl

➜ 100/10 would recommend as a brother

➜ in conclusion, he may not always be there, and would be a bit childish & needy at times; but you know that he would step up as a big brother for you ANYDAY, ANYNIGHT, ANYTIME. because how could he want the best for you when he's not being his best on his part?

things that go bump in the night

Posting this for a second time, cause I deleted the first one oops! I'm an idiot who messed up the first time.

This is Jamilmads! Just some pure fluffy Jamilmads for Halloween. There is nothing scary, just BAD puns

Full fic under the cut!

Jefferson hates Halloween. He despises it. He hates the stupid costumes, the dumb obsession with horror movies, the kids that ring his doorbell all evening and into the night begging for sweets. 

But most importantly, he absolutely despises how jumpy he is. How easily scared he is. How simple it is to get a ridiculously girly scream out of him, just someone jumping out on him rips a terrified shout from him.

Even more than that, perhaps the most, he hates how the office takes advantage of that.

He knows it's Halloween, not based on the calendar, nor the sudden influx of party-sized bags of Snickers in every Walmart store, but by the dumb fucking 'scary' decorations littering every square inch of his office.

Goddamn it, everyone in the building is above thirty! How are they all so damn childish-? He'll never know.

Thomas physically winces at all the horrendous puns hanging in the office.

"Resting witch face" actually made him groan with dismay as he passed it, the puns got worse every damn year. 

There was a shiny, orange plastic banner hung in almost every room, made to look like pumpkins. They were often accompanied by black streamers, and when he stopped off in the break room, he found the coffee machine covered in fake cobwebs and plastic spiders.

Thomas sighs as he pushes the decorations off to pour himself a coffee, "that must be some sort of safety hazard," he mutters, stuffing his hands in his pockets. He watches his coffee pour, the air around him cool and quiet. His humming, usually silenced by the buzzing atmosphere, is a clear tune for once. It doesn't hit him until he's sipping from his mug while walking down the hall towards his office how… quiet it is.

It's so impossibly eerie…

Thomas takes a louder sip, hoping to alert the bat-eared Alexander. The man's biggest pet peeve was always people slurping their drinks, could always seem to hear it from offices away and would come storming in to insist they stop.

But one of his boyfriend’s does not come. Not even a whip of the man's emerald green coat tails fly down the hall. It's beginning to- not scare him. No, he's not scared, he's… apprehensive. Worried. On edge. It unnerves him, even as he pushes into his office. Still silent. Madison doesn’t appear with Alexander, the both of them are nowhere to be found. Neither of them. 

Thomas takes another drink from his mug, slurping again and burning his tongue. "Ouch," he hisses through his teeth and places the mug down on his desk, leans on it and peers around. 

Were the lights always off in the hallway?  

It feels ridiculous, a horror movie move, but he narrows his eyes. It's so quiet. Like the office has been deserted. Is it a day off and he merely hasn't been alerted? Surely Washington would've sent an email, and Thomas would've seen it! He reads his emails religiously every morning, an hour after he wakes as he scrolls through the news reported on through the night. 

"Hello-?" He finally calls, suspicious. "Is- is anyone there?" He swallows thickly. A slow creeping eerie feeling grows in his chest, a little swelling bubble of anxiety. His office door is ajar, showing off the dark hallways.

There's nothing. 

Thomas sticks his head out the doorway and suddenly there's something and it's jumping at him and he stumbles backwards with a yelp until he loses his footing as the thing screams.

Then the lights flicker on. 

Thomas groans, rubbing his forehead. He had landed on the ground, thankfully his office was carpeted. There's laughter, and a hand on his shoulder.

"Gotcha," the voice is smug as Thomas opens his eyes. Fucking Hamilton. Of course it's Hamilton dammit. "We tried to scare you in the break room but you moved-!"

"We-?" Thomas stares back at the doorway and of course- James is standing there, laughing to himself. He has a wide grin, eyes clustering with tears in the corners that occasionally drip down his cheeks. He wipes under his eyes with his thumbs. “I should’ve guessed-” Thomas scowled, getting ready to push himself to his feet, but Alexander sets a hand on his shoulder, sitting down on the floor beside him, crossing his legs to sit criss-cross (apple sauce). 

“You moved out of the break room, so we had to rethink our entire plan! We had to convince everyone to come in late just to pull this off! You know the things we have to do?” Alexander keeps speaking, as James collects himself in the background. Thomas can practically hear the cogs whizzing in his mind, clunking together to think up his next words very carefully. With whatever James is about to say next, no one can tell. There’s a fifty-fifty chance that it’ll be something either - gorgeously philosophical or a blatant, awful awful attempt at a ‘dad joke.’ A bad pun, a terrible hilarity. Whatever you may call it, when it comes to James Madison, truth be told no one knows what he’ll say next. 

“I have to do Angelica’s paperwork for the next month and Jem agreed to sign Lee’s next vacation leave for him!” Alex finally finishes his ramble, huffing and crossing his arms. “Your reaction was so worth it though-” he snickers, hand over his mouth as he laughs through his fingers.

James clears his throat, and suddenly the attention is on him. Alexander expects a poetic comment, a silk thread of words, sewn together by an expert hand. However - Thomas knows better. He knows fine well that the next comment is going to be some awful, cringeworthy pun. He waits. And then James’ smiles, eyes devilishly focused on Thomas. “Oh, yeah. You tried to run away,” he laughs before he even says the next thing, clearly pleased with himself. “You could be Jekyll but you still couldn’t Hyde.” 

Thomas groans at him and finally reaches into his pocket, tossing a pen in James’s general direction. It hits him in the stomach, but James casts it aside and keeps laughing, not bothering to hold it back. “That was scarier than you jumping out on me.”

“You love us really!” Alex cuts in, nudging Thomas on the side with a snide looking smirk. James still bares his beaming smile, and Jefferson can’t help but melt a little. His frown fades into a sheepish smile, a little sliver of teeth until he’s spouting small giggles. Alexander joins in until all three of them are laughing together in Thomas’ office. 

“You’re damn lucky I do,” Thomas ruffles Alex’s hair until he scowls and bats at his hands. “C’mere, James.” He gestures, beckoning him over until they’re all huddled on the floor together, crossed-legged and occasionally falling into little fits of laughter.

It’s silent for a long moment, just smiling as they scramble to collect their trains of thought until James’ lights up again.

“Let’s creep it real,” James starts and Thomas’ smile almost automatically falls. “We’re three gourd-geous men,” he snickers, as does Alexander.

“Who’re all Hallow-queens,” Alexander snorts, listening to Thomas’ noise of complete and utter dismay.

“Shut up,” he drawls, placing his hands over his ears with a screwed up face. James and Alexander laugh, cackling like witches.

“Don’t be a jerk-o-lantern!”

“James, I’m going to kill you.”

some more thots:

once race and al were watching a horror movie with a group of friends and race was scared out of his mind so al used his *epic gamer senses* and told race what tactics they use to make the scene feel scarier than it is and predicting the jump scares so he starts to relax a little. now theres a photo on twitter of race practically shaking hiding in albert while al is pointing at the screen and explaining how they changed the lighting to convey a sense of unease

al has a lip scar because he got in a fist fight with someone (al won but thats irrelevant) and his fans s w o o n e d when they saw it

in retaliation for race posting a video of him playing the keyboard, al posts one of race singing and everyone loses their minds

once when playing among us they were imposters together and they won before a body even got reported

then the round after that race vented in front of someone and got ejected before anyone was killed

athletic al hcs would be much appreciated please

also would you like my hcs for them playing multiplayer games together? i was left alone with my thots and now i have Too Many

anon has done it again THESE ARE SO GOOD

ok so,,,, everyone prepare for chandler struggling to explain her thoughts

-y e s 👏 so yk how one person will sit on the couch or something with their legs spread and someone else will sit between their legs and lean on them? al’s sitting on the floor against the couch, race is leaning back on him while al whispers to him about all the horror movie tricks. katherine, aka the one in their group with any sense of adorable romance, was the one to take and post the picture. she later posted a second picture of them STILL sitting like that, rambling about the avengers half asleep like 4 hours later because the movie ended but they were comfortable and race had finally stopped shaking.

- he’s got in plenty of fistfights (his entire friend group was loud gay theater kids and the delanceys exist, enough said) but barely any of them a c t u a l l y left any scars. the one he DOES have on his lip is on the right side of his face and literally runs across both of his lips. the story is, basically, some asshat said something to race al didn’t like, said asshat had a bottle in his hand he decided to smash, and the smashing of the bottle sent glass shards flying everyone and one of them caught al. albert then proceeded to kick the bottle of the guys hand and punch him in the face. (good job al <3) someone asked him in chat while he was streaming slight tipsy (read: drunk) and he did a very dramatic retelling of the story while race cackled in the background. and yes, everyone swooned. (suckers for a knight in shining armor AND for boys with scars, all of them)

- he does, particularly a video of race in the kitchen singing in italian while he cooks. he doesn’t even really know what songs he’s singing, just that it’s what his mom did what he was really little and it makes al melt EVERY TIME so he posted it and all the fans lost their damn minds

- yes, because they muted their mics on discord and albert told race exactly what to do. they’re always partners anyway, so the tactic was basically just double kill til the game ends. the strategy was flawless and everyone is scared of them when they both get imposter cause they’ve never lost a game that way

-and then race gets imposter next round, but with jack, and promptly vents in front of jojo cause he has no idea what he’s doing

- yessss i can talk about this all day. so albert did elite competitive gymnastics from age 4-15, roughly, and the only reason he stopped was because of a knee injury because of a bad landing during competition. he played hockey for all of middle school and high school, except sophomore year when he was dealing with that pesky gymnastics injury, and was team captain his senior year. now he plays rec hockey (kinda? he’s on the ice a couple times a week but he doesn’t always get to actually play) and does kickboxing, but also is just a crossfit guy and is at some sort of gym almost daily. (sidenote, sometimes he’ll streaming after kickboxing and still look slightly bruised and banged up, and everyone - including race - finds it like,,,,, unreasonably attractive.

- please please please please p l e a s e i love these so much

did i just ramble for way too long again? you betcha ✨ thank you for sitting through it anyway <3

These “M*F*K*Z” make me want to cut some vegetables.

This past Friday was the 13th, so of course, as a lover of horror, I had to break out a scary movie in the home.

At first, we thought  - Classic

Then, I thought, maybe some foreign freakiness.

Or maybe some goofy mayhem to celebrate the night.

Somehow, we ended up with "MFKZ". 

It's an animated movie about a young black man, who feels trapped in the city, while the world appears to be against him. Seems too real, for some, right? - I thought so too, but I was told there are a lot of chase scenes in it, so I was game. Besides, what's scarier? - having a monster break into your home and brutally slaughter you (but it's over quickly)?

 or

slowly dying in a God-forsaken hood?

We both know the answer I'm going for, but honestly, if I had the choice I'm going for the hood... unless it's a sexy monster.

I'm fine with sexy monsters knocking on our door, but that doesn't serve my post, so let's go:

"MFKZ" starts off by introducing us to a place called "Dark Meat City", where the action takes place. 

Apparently, names like "Crack Whore Town" and "Broken Home Valley" were taken.

Our hero is named Angelino,

 and he is a pizza delivery man by profession, though he can't seem to keep a delivery job. His best friend is a skeleton with a head full of flame. I don't mean that figuratively, for some drugged-up punk rocker.

I mean an actual skeleton. 

He’s kinda cute, right? - like he could Ghost Rider’s son.

Angelino also has a legion of roaches as pets (I’ll spare you a pic). Standing back from this info, "hero" may be too strong a term for him.

He's out doing his delivery thing in "Dark Meat City", when he sees a beautiful woman named Luna. Luna winks at him.

It is here when I paused our tv, to warn Angelino. If you find yourself in a cesspool of iniquity, but see one shining as a  light , and she happens to be a beautiful woman, who is playfully winking at your ugly ass, KNOW... it's a trap.

Angelino does not listen to me, and that's when the chases begin. He's chased by cops, SWAT, MIB, well-suited gangsters, street thugs, the government, demon aliens (yikes), he has a hidden power inside which also gets him into trouble, Luchadores 

(though they're chasing him to help him... and they're teamed up with his legion of roaches, but still). How many of you know that if you find yourself in a sitch which requires professional wrestlers and roaches to save you, you've messed up in life. Again, "hero" is too strong a term for him.

That's it! This movie is all about a variety of chase scenes.

And if that's it, it can make for a bad movie. I got bored several times. I actually started making dinner while watching. People got mad at me, but they know that movie is kinda boring. It's one of those on-your-phone-while-you-watch movies. Still, a scary premise to ponder:

You're stuck in life. Your place has roaches. You feel like everyone is after you. There's some sexy woman or man who winked at you once, and now you curse that day. You're scared.

You keep hoping that some writer/producer/director will magically place you in a different story or make this story that you're in better... but much like this movie, they never do.

So, you accept your fate and live happily ever after with a thousand roaches as your friends. The end (Ok, so not so much “scary” as it is sad).

Spoiler Alert, that's kinda how this movie ends, if you can even call it an ending.

Wow, that IS sad; a lil too sad, so let's just give this a Grade: D, and focus back again on the sexy woman or man who winked at you...

... who may or may not be wearing a napkin for a skirt.

Sure, it's probably a trap, but what if you seized that trap anyway. Sweep that trap off its feet! Have some fun with that trap! Get into some trouble with that trap!

LIVE, DAMN YOU! - without the roaches! Maybe the powers that be still won't write you out of your "Dark Meat City", but that's a better story to hear about than redundant chases. Maybe I'd listen more to your story, instead of periodically tuning out to cut vegetables.

Whatchu gonna do with your Luna? Ride her into victory or let her ride you into Hell?

I'm not sure if I should have worded it that way, but y'all know what I mean... I think. Plus, I'm too lazy to change it. And it smells like dinner is ready, so FKIT.

Ride on!

Ch. 3 Thriller

Chinese!OC x Kelce

This wasn’t supposed to happen. Zombies were meant for apocalyptic movies and TV shows where one could binge watch for a day and return to their mundane life. But something happened, a lab test went wrong and suddenly the outbreak started. This story takes place exactly three weeks after zombies slowly started to take over the planet. 

Series Master list

WC: 4,536

Warnings: Remember last chapter when Kaili said people were a little more evil than zombies? And remember how I kept mentioning that you are responsible for the media that you consume? Well, this is the chapter where it is applied. Less zombies and more evil men, violence, death, blood, weapons, guns, knives, stabbing, shooting, cussing, killing of people who are not zombies, a guy licks Kaili’s neck without her consent and is gross about it, mentions of wanting to vomit, I think that’s all the important warnings.

A/N: The SUPPORT I get on this fic blows my mind. I know that zombie fics are an acquired taste and not a lot of people like it, I get it. But those who do, wow. Thank you for allowing me to do this and giving me motivation to keep doing it. You all are incredible.

Kaili woke with a start when she heard a row of banging on the side of the bus. Her forehead slamming against the ceiling before she could process the noise she was hearing. The windows rattled and so did the plates in the cabinets. With her heart pounding out of her chest, she grabbed the machete lodged in between the wall and the mattress before letting her feet hit the cold floor.

As fast as she was on the ground, she was off of it again. JJ had turned to push her out of his way and onto the sofa, ordering her to stay seated, as if she was a pet who’d listen to his orders. Over her dead body, and maybe even then.

“Who the fuck?” Topper narrowed his eyes as he peeked out the window, “there are about six guys out there,” another bag came crashing against the bus. All Kaili could hear was the sound of the men laughing and Wheezie sobbing in the back. Kaili, against JJ’s wishes, got up to look out the window as well, seeing the guys from the gun trade.

“Kelce,” she called to get his attention but she didn’t need to because he was already watching her as he clicked the magazine into his gun, “it’s the guys from earlier.”

“What did you do, Kelce?” Kiara hissed, pulling a shotgun from underneath the sink that Kaili didn’t even know was there. 

“Come on out, pretty girl!” The greasy man yelled. 

“If we don’t meet them outside, the windows are going to break and then we’ll have a bigger problem,” Kaili informed. 

“A bigger problem than what? Dying?” John B limped his way into the common area of the bus, a hand over his wound and the other draped across Sarah’s shoulders. 

“Come out or we’ll shoot our way in!” 

And she did. Kaili slipped around Rafe who was standing by the door and pushed her way out, the machete in her hand and the knives still attached to her belt and thigh holster that she never really takes off. 

“See, I told you she was beautiful,” the man chuckled to his friends and Kaili could’ve sworn that they looked a little bit intoxicated. 

Kaili scanned the scene in front of her. The only thing illuminating their faces was the moonlight. The ground was wet from the rain that had poured upon them a couple of hours ago, which didn’t help with how cold that made the weather. The green-eyed boy wasn’t amongst the men that stood before her, one looking more disgusting than the rest. The smirk on their faces when she appeared made her wonder what promises the greasy guy had made to them for them all to agree to come with him.

Kaili widened her stance, preparing for a fight as she held the blade in front of her. It was difficult, being a mixture of scared shitless and annoyed that she had to even go through this. She heard a couple of clicks behind her and she knew that at least she wasn’t alone in this fight. A gun came parallel to her and she could see it was Kiara pointing the shotgun at one of the guys. 

“What do you want?”

“Well, you see, I’m still really sore at that boy,” he pointed behind her and Kaili didn’t need to turn around to know it was Kelce he was pointing at. “And honestly, he hurt my feelings,” the man snickered at his own words.

“Doubt that,” Kiara muttered next to her and Kaili felt the strong need to protect the girl. Even though she knew that her shotgun has way more power than Kaili’s own hands have.

“As much as he hurt your face?” JJ called out, the humor in his voice deadly. 

“Semantics,” the man’s voice suddenly turned just as threatening and though Kaili wasn’t exactly sure he was using the word correctly, she wasn’t truly in the mood to sit and argue over the English language. 

“I want you, darlin’, I’ve always wanted a little doll to play with, and let’s face it, you kind of owe me after what th-,” his words were cut short when JJ interrupted him again. 

The man’s eyes wild as he bellowed, “stop interrupting me!” For the whole campground to hear but no matter the ruckus the men have already made, she noticed that no one else wanted to get involved. They didn’t even peek out the window to see what was going on. Cowards. 

Kaili was still so angry at the situation that she didn’t register the greasy man pointing a handgun right between JJ’s eyes and pulling the trigger. It took him a couple of clicks before she found herself lunging toward the man and that broke out to an actual fight. She didn’t know who was fighting who or if anyone was seriously injured. She just knew that if the man was smart enough to release the safety of the gun, JJ’s blood would be splattered all over her now. 

She couldn’t lie though, the man knew how to fight. With every step forward and every time her blade swung at him, he’d dodge it. Taking a step back, finally grabbing her wrist so hard she was sure he could break it if he wanted to. He spun her around. One of her hands pressed at her back that was now flushed against his front and another hand with the blade too close to her neck for her comfort. 

“Stop it!” The man ordered, next to her ear. Every wriggle that she made caused him to painfully twist the blade in her wrist closer to her skin but she refused to close her eyes and give in to the man. She told herself that her shaking hands were from the cold and the pain, it wasn’t from the fear that bubbled up inside of her. The weakness that she suddenly felt by not knowing how to properly fight. All she remembered thinking was that she’d rather die than be taken by this man. She looked at the company she kept, Kiara has blood splattered all over her shirt, no doubt she used the butt of her shotgun to snap some noses, and JJ’s face in the moonlight was scarier than any horror movie she’s ever seen. He spat out blood but it still decorated his teeth as he pulled his lips up into a snarl. 

“Let her go,” the voice came from Kelce. She couldn’t see him which meant he was either beside them or behind them but he was close enough for her to feel his proximity.

“Put the gun down or I’ll slit her throat right here,” the man said next to her ear, pressing the knife against her skin now, causing her to whimper. Kelce stepped from behind the man directly in front of Kaili. His eyes did a quick scan of her body and noting if anything was off about her and finally meeting her eyes. He did not take his eyes off of hers even as the man behind her started to speak.

“I’m only taking what I’m owed and that’s it. But you children have to make it so hard on yourselves. Don’t you know there’s a pandemic to worry about? A zombie virus? This way, there’s one less mouth to feed. And damn it if it isn’t a gorgeous mouth,” he more so whispered the last line as she the man leave a wet trail on her neck as the man ran his tongue across her skin. If she wasn’t so frozen from the action, she’d have vomited right there. 

It was as if the man knew Kelce’s next actions, calculated it with his friends because when Kelce did not hesitate to lunge at the man, his friends were already grabbing onto arms to keep him where he was. Away from her.

“I’ll cut your fucking tongue out, you disgusting piece of—“ he got cut off by a blow to his stomach as the greasy man’s friends laughed but kept him upright and Kaili got why they were so keen to keep him right in front of her. Because no one else could see what the greasy man was doing to her with the way that he was angled and also Kelce’s friends didn’t have a clear shot so they couldn’t attack. Or so they thought. 

Kaili heard the bang before she saw a body drop right beside her and she took the man’s shock as an opportunity to pull away from his grasp and kick him hard on his chest, causing him to topple over. She saw more bodies drop but she didn’t pay attention to them. She couldn’t. All she could think about was the man who had held her and touched her without her consent. He tried inching back on his elbows as he unintelligently tried to come up with an excuse about how he was just joking or how he didn’t know how to say hi but she couldn’t process his words. Something in her wasn’t clicking, all she felt was pure rage. 

Kaili moved so fast that no one even realized she threw a knife until it landed just below the man’s testicles, “I’m letting you know, I do not miss, ever. You try to come at me like that again and I’ll fucking castrate you,” she said the blubbering man with every intention to leave him alive but then she thought to the kids in this camp. The other girls he’d come across that he wanted and without another breath, she brought her larger blade down onto his stomach, pushing the end of the handle so that it would puncture in deeper. She must’ve blacked out from the rage because the next thing she knew, she was being hauled onto a moving bus as bullets were flying by her.

She tried to ground herself by counting the people on the bus with her. Making sure that everyone was still there. Everyone was still alive. Everyone was still alive. Everyone was still alive. Was everyone still alive?

“Can you look at me?” Kiara asked her as she squats in front of the motionless girl. She had what looked like a wet cloth in her hands, as she angled her head toward the sink, being careful not to touch Kaili so suddenly but even when the girl had seen it coming, she still flinched. As she was getting the blood washed off of her palms she gathered that Topper had shot the first guy in the leg while Rafe had already started driving the ‘getaway car’. She also learned that no one had shot to kill, exactly, and that’s why they started shooting at the bus for retaliation. Which also means that she was the only one with literal blood on her hands tonight. 

Kaili didn’t say anything after Kiara finished washing her hands and she stayed mute as Sarah pulled her into the bathroom for her to shower for a second and change her clothes into something less drenched with blood. Sarah has given her an oversized t-shirt and basketball shorts that she rolled up at the waist to keep them there.

“We don’t blame you, you know,” Sarah said, her voice low while they were still in the bathroom. Kaili just stared at her reflection. “He could’ve gone after another girl afterward,” Sarah offered.

“I don’t know that. I took his life away but it wasn’t my decision to make.” Kaili rebutted and Sarah winced at her words. 

“Even if you were his exception to the rule, Kaili, I know he wouldn’t have spared you. At least that’s what it looked like from where I was standing.”

Kaili’s face scrunched up in disgust at the memory. The feeling of him on her skin. She rolled her bruised wrists and nodded at the girl’s words. Maybe she was right but it didn’t make her feel any better.

She hated the mood on the bus when she finally left the bathroom. Everyone seemed to be on an adrenaline rush chattering quickly and animated until she appeared around the door and the voices went to softly and then to nothing. John B had insisted that he felt better and if he needed more space then he was more than willing to pull the sofa on each side down to make a big bed so if Kaili wanted, she could take the room in the back and she did. She needed the privacy of the door, at least for tonight. She hadn’t even gotten the door closed all the way yet before sobs began wracking through her body. Not caring if the rest of the bus could hear her now, she sat on the floor with her back against the bed as she pulled her knees up to her chest and allowed herself to feel. 

She wished that her mom was here so that she could tell her that people needed to change and adapt to new environments and that’s all that she was doing. But she didn’t want to become savage in the midst of it all. Everything about her felt disgusting, the skin that he licked, the hands that were coated with his blood. She wanted nothing to do with it at all but she couldn’t escape herself, even if she wanted to. 

As her sobs turned into whimpers and sniffles, she heard the door slide open. Quickly wiping her tears away with the hem of the shirt, she peeked out from beside the bed to see Kelce closing the door behind him. Spotting her eyes, he walked towards the side of the bed that she was on and outstretched his arm, offering her to take his hand, and she did. She allowed him to pull her up and allowed him to lift her onto the bed. Her body curled beside his as her legs draped across his. 

“Remind me to ask you to wash that before you give it back,” Kelce smirked but there was sadness in his eyes. 

“This yours?” She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand again. 

“Don’t worry about it,” 

“Promise I won’t make a habit out of stealing your clothes,”

“I don’t mind,” Kelce was quiet for a moment, as she began crying again. She didn’t think she would ever stop tonight, “no one blames you or looks at you differently. You know what right?”

“I look at myself differently...maybe I am different. Maybe this is who I am now. A murderer,” 

“I’ll let you in on a secret though, if you hadn’t have killed him, I would have.” 

“Right,” Kaili said sarcastically through sniffles as she buried her face into Kelce's chest further, trying to get the image out of her mind. 

“I’m not joking.” And for some reason, Kaili believed the boy next to her. As his chest rose and fell, they sat in without a word between them. Until, of course, Kaili broke away from him to wipe her tears with the back of her hand but he had reached out before she could. Gently touching her wet cheeks with the pads of his thumbs. The look on his face unreadable as his fingers lingered, hesitantly pulling them back.

“So what’s your story? Not your zombie story, like who were you? Your family?” Kelce inquired, giving her space and not pulling her back against him. 

“My mom was a doctor and my dad was an engineer back in China...of course, that doesn’t mean anything here in America. Their degrees don’t hold here. So, they taught me what they knew, they wanted me to have a good life here and I tried. I tried doing pre-med but it didn’t interest me and then I tried prelaw and I was terrible at it” she chuckled, “I almost failed out of university until I found the abnormal psychology extension for the psych program and I fell in love. Obviously it’s not like it matters now anyway. I never graduated and my parents are well” a lump formed in her throat “I don’t think I can ever unsee what they became. If I had just gotten to them sooner, maybe. I don’t know.”

Kelce shook his head, “it’s not your fault. If you’ve gotten to them sooner then you wouldn’t be here right now.”

Kaili shrugged, “so, what’s your story?”

“Same as the rest of them, I guess. My grandfather helped invent the internet.”

“What?”

“Yeah, then he was able to sell his program off to some big company for billions of dollars.”

“Yeah...that’s a typical story for sure.”

“It is where I’m from,'' he said, an edge in his voice “we’d always one-up each other with stories of who has more money. Who had more property and business ventures lined up when they go to an Ivy League school that’s paid off by our parents? It was all superficial but you can get caught up in it,” he smirked more to himself. “But what’s the point now? My father had status and money and now he’s just...dead.”

“I’m sorry you had to see that,” Kaili said sincerely, and then she looked at Kelce, “and that your dad chose to do what he did.”

“He did what was best for him,” he defended, looking like what Kaili thought to be as offended. Kaili reached out her hand to place them on top of Kelce’s that was on his lap, carefully tucked away from her legs that still was draped across his. 

“I don’t mean to offend you, I’m sorry. I just know that if it came down to it, I wouldn’t have left you. I’d fight with you even if we couldn’t win.”

He looked at their hands and then raised an eyebrow at her before she cleared her throat and pulled her hand back.

“Anyone of you. I wouldn’t leave anyone of you.”

And as if a line of intimacy has been crossed, Kelce had just nodded. Kaili didn’t understand it because she was just laying across him so why was touching his hand any different? Why did it feel different?

Kelce pressed his lips into a hard line as he pushed her legs back and got up from the bed, suddenly cold, he said a quick goodnight before exiting through the doors that separated her from the buzzing noises of the rest of the crew. 

As if privacy warranted a revolving door, Wheezie slowly opened the door to her temporary room and squeezed in as if she was sneaking in but Kaili would bet that she was sneaking out of the group instead. 

“Hey,” Kaili greeted from her spot on the bed that felt way too comfortable after what she’s been sleeping in. 

“Oh, hey! Um, I wasn’t sure if you were asleep or awake, Kelce didn’t tell anyone anything but like it’s going to take a thousand years before we get anywhere because Topper convinced Rafe to drive with the headlights off so we don’t ‘attract’ more zombies,” she rambled while using air quotes, “and I haven’t had a chance to like sleep in this bed yet because someone is always in it but you also look like you could use the company, no one really told me what happened out there because they think I’m too young but I’m not too young. I need to know and I—,” 

“Come here,” Kaili patted the spot next to her as she cut Wheezie off. In all fairness, the girl was thirteen and though she might be too young to be exposed to the horrors of this new world, she had to know what she was getting herself into. Wheezie didn’t waste a moment as she took off her glasses, kicked off her shoes, and jumped onto the bed. Pulling a pillow to her face she smiled and mumbled about always being the last to get anything. Kaili gave the younger girl a half-smile as she settled into bed herself. 

“What happened?” Wheezie asked in the light of the moon, though her eyes were more closed. 

Kaili didn’t know how to respond but she knew that she couldn’t lie to the girl. There might be a day where this girl is the sole survivor and she had to know. 

“I killed a man today.”

“You mean a zombie?”

“No,” she sighed, “a man. He wanted to hurt me, he did hurt me. His friends hurt my friends and so I killed him.” 

“That explains it,” Wheezie only nodded as if the fact didn’t bother her at all.

When Kaili looked at her, waiting for an explanation, Wheezie only sighed as if feeling her eyes on her, “why Kelce’s so grumpy.”

“I’m not following,” Kaili explained 

“He likes you, he’s probably angry that you got hurt.”

“He doesn’t know me.”

“Doesn’t mean he can’t like you. Zombies are roaming the streets, lady, I don’t think now’s the right moment to be asking people to take it slow.” Wheezie huffed and of course, she doesn’t understand. Kaili didn’t expect her to, she was barely a teen. All she knew is that it wasn’t the right time for crushes, for feelings that were complicated enough back when things were normal. And with that, Wheezie turned around and pulled the blanket up to her shoulders leaving Kaili to her thoughts all night. 

—

In the morning, Kaili had woken up with Wheezie’s arm draped across her face as the girl was still softly snoring next to her. Her wild hair taking up most of the pillow underneath her head and as Kaili tried very slowly to slip off the bed without waking her, she noticed how small and frail this girl looked. How this cruel world had ripped her innocence away from her. 

Softly pushing the door open, she was met with the wide, broad shoulders of Rafe. He stood about a foot taller than her, give or take a couple of inches, so it was easy for him to look over her head onto the bed as he visibly relaxed seeing Wheezie in bed. He didn’t move even as she stepped out of the room and closed the door back up. 

“How are you?” The look on his face looked pained as he asked the question as if this man didn’t know how to be civil and kind without difficulty.

“As good as I can be, all things considered.”

“How is she?” Rafe referred to Wheezie and now Kaili knew that there had to be a difference in his upbringing than in Kelce because where Kelce excelled in charisma, Rafe lacked completely. His stiff body still boxed her in against the door, he looked at her expectantly. 

“She’s good. She just wanted to sleep in the bed, she said no one had allowed her on it yet so I allowed her on it, no alarm.”

“Oh, okay. Well, just so you know we’re not upset about what you did. We’re not kicking you out or anything.”

“Okay...Thank you?”

He exhaled as he twiddled his thumbs, his eyebrows knitting together. 

“Everyone else had asked me to stay here and wait until you guys got up. They’re kind of scouting the area, looking for people here or zombies, whichever they run into first. We reached some pretty nice houses and kind of wanted to retire the bus for a couple of days in case the guys went looking for us then they wouldn’t look there. Anyway,” he shrugged, “I heard you crying last night— I guess we all did and I’m not that good at comforting people. Honestly, it makes me uncomfortable but I just wanted you to know that if I had been there to see it and not on the bus, I’d have stopped him before he even got the chance to hurt you.”

Kaili didn’t know what to say but she thinks this was Rafe’s awful stumble-through version of telling her that he cared whether she lived or died.

“It’s okay,” she lied but her smile was genuine for the struggling boy in front of her. She gave him a light tap on the chest congratulating him on making it through that speech but also telling him to move so she can walk past him. In which he apologized for before, if not literally, pushing himself up against the side of the bunks so that she could move through the narrow hallway.

“It’s not okay though. Your wrists are…well, you know,” 

“Rafe,” she turned quickly and grabbed the boy’s shoulders, she’d shake him if she could, “Thank you, I appreciate it, truly.” 

“I guess I’m just sorry I gave you a hard time or like wrote you off. I don't like changes and I’m adjusting. I’m not saying we’ll be best friends or whatever but I’ll be less of an asshole” 

“You know how to do that?”

“Ha ha. You’re so funny,” 

“I think that I am.”

“You gotta admit me driving the getaway bus was pretty badass though,” Rafe joked, visibly loosening up around her as she walked over to the front of the bus.

“Meh,” Kaili shrugged, “I give it a four out of ten.”

“A four?!” Rafe’s mouth hung open as if no one has ever criticized him in anything before.

“We still got shot at,” she teased.

The group came back shortly after. They found a house that had six bedrooms. The neighborhood had light and running water which meant they might be able to stay here a little longer if they were able to find some food. They only had enough to last them two days, maybe four if everyone cut their portions in half.

The group started to take the weapons off of the bus first and then the food and all the rest of their belongings, leaving the bus almost bare in case someone were to take it from the house they parked in front of. 

Sleeping arraignments were a lot easier and quickly decided that Kaili would’ve thought they’d be. John b stayed with Sarah, which was no surprise to anyone. JJ, Pope, and Kiara had taken the largest bed because they said that if anything were to happen, they’d be more comfortable knowing where the other was. Which was fair, but it did heavily draw a line of where the divide between the groups was. Though Kaili insisted that she didn’t mind sharing the bed with Wheezie and actually preferred it, Rafe made it known that he wanted to be there to protect his little sister in case something happened and the only person he trusted to do that was himself. Kaili tried not to take it as an insult. So, that left Kaili, Kelce, and Topper with their own rooms. To be honest, Kaili loved it. Being able to spread out in her bed without worrying she’d fall off the side or hit a person next to her. She did try not to think about the others who’d slept in the bed before her, though. No, she doesn’t think she’d be able to keep her cool if she did.
