A Sweet Surprise

Something a bit different! I originally wrote this for a close friend of mine on here but it was too cute not to change so you guys can enjoy it too 💕

“But yeah, it’s weird, I love strawberries and strawberry flavoured, but I’m really not a fan of anything else strawberry flavoured.” Y/N explained to her friend as they got served their food. Y/N had a bubblegum sundae, and Y/F/N had a s’mores sundae, curious to find out what it was going to taste like.

The two women, who see each other as sisters, decided to try out a dessert restaurant to kill some time, and they were happily minding their own business as they enjoy their rarely spent time together.

Y/F/N chuckled and shook her head fondly, tucking into her s’more sundae, letting out a satisfied groan as she took the first bite. “You’re a dork though.” She added casually, her eyes briefly widening as she saw a couple of people walk in to wait at the hostess stand.

“You okay?” Y/N asked, turning to look at who she was looking at, before quickly turning back round to face the person she saw as a sister. “No way…”

Just then, Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh got sat on the table next to the two fans, behind Y/F/N. They tried their best to contain themselves and be respectful, but it was almost impossible to since Scarlett and Florence were two of their favourite actresses.

The two girls slowly ate their dessert, whilst texting each other so they wouldn’t talk out loud to be rude.

Y/N: I want to acknowledge them without being rude and ruining their meal…

Y/F/N: What if we write a little note and put it on their table as we walk past?

Y/N: That could work, I do need the bathroom which I think is in that direction. I’ve gotta try and be smooth about it but I can try 😂

Y/F/N: so that’s the plan, we can put something together and you can put it on their table.

After that, Y/F/N and Y/N got to work, eventually agreeing on a short letter to give to them. It said:

‘Hi Scarlett and Florence,

We’re so sorry to bother you whilst you’re out, but we are both huge fans of you, we wanted to do something just to say hi without getting in your face.

We are huge fans of Marvel, and seeing the way you guys portrayed Natasha and Yelena helped us to bond to the point where we’re basically sisters and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Anyway, we won’t take up anymore of your time, but we would love it if you could even sign a napkin for the two of us to fight over when we get home (we can’t take turns with it, Y/N lives in the UK). We would forever appreciate it, we’re sat at the table behind Scarlett so you can throw it at us if you want!

Have a wonderful meal and day, and thank you again for being so amazing.

Love,

Y/F/N and Y/N ❤️’

Y/N took the note, taking a deep breath nervously as she looked at Y/F/N. “See you on the other side.” She murmured, before getting up and dashing to the bathroom, gently placing the note on their table successfully as she did so.

Florence and Scarlett looked at each other as the note was placed down, they both playfully fought for it until Florence finally managed to grab it first to read it, her eyes softening at the words. “That is so sweet.” She commented as she slid the note to Scarlett, who read it and eventually gave a fond smile. “That’s so considerate…” she replied softly.

“I think we should crash at their table, show that we’re thankful, it’s rare to have fans that actually respect peoples privacy and space.” Florence told her, as Scarlett immediately nodded. “Put their bill on ours too, for an extra surprise.” She added as she called the waitress over after she saw Y/N return to her table, she could tell she was trying hard not to look over at them.

“Hi! Is everything okay with your food?” The waitress asked, making the two women nod in response.

“Yes thank you, we were actually wandering if we could join the two ladies behind us? Put the bill over too.” Scarlett asked quietly so Y/F/N couldn’t hear since she was in close range of her.

“Of course, I’ll do that now.” The waitress told them as she went over to the till. Florence and Scarlett nodded at each other before making the move. Scarlett sat next to Y/N and Florence sat next to Y/F/N, grinning. “Well hello there!” Florence greeted happily.

The young women were shocked, they stared at each other as Y/N shuffled to the other end of the seat to make room for Scarlett, but to also try and compose herself.

“Ohmygodhi!” Y/F/N replied a little quickly, clearly in shock as she also made room for Florence to sit down, but she wasn’t half a mile away like Y/N was.

“How are you guys doing?” Florence asked with a gentle smile as she casually ate her sundae, looking over at Scarlett, who was watching Y/N look over nervously between the three of them.

“Good! A little star struck but good!” Y/F/N replied. “How are you guys?” She asked politely.

“Great! Scarlett has been begging to drag me here for weeks, so we can to shut her up.” She chuckled, winking over at Scarlett, who rolled her eyes with a grin. “But it’s worth it, right?” She replied, reaching forward to squeeze Florence’s knee; making her jump and flinch a little, slapping her hand gently. “Yes, definitely worth it.”

Y/F/N looked over at Florence, she had an idea about what just happened but she knew she had to confirm it.

“Uh, are you okay?” She asked her straight out, the unexpected question made Florence’s eyes widen as she looked over at Scarlett, who simply chuckled fondly.

“Yes Florence, are you okay? You flinched ever so hard just now.” Scarlett teased with raised eyebrows.

We all looked over at Florence as she shook her head; trying to play it cool. “She likes to tickle me sometimes if I’m being a shit, but don’t worry, I make sure to get her back.” She added with a cheeky smile.

“Aw, it’s like what I do to Y/N when she’s shy!” Y/F/N commented, squeezing the sensitive spot just above Y/N’s knee, causing her to flinch and smack her leg against the top of the table.

“Oh my goodness are you okay?” Scarlett asked immediately, giggling a little as she looked over at Y/F/N. “That was soho mean!” She giggled out.

Y/N nodded silently in response, hiding away even more by covering her face with her hands. Y/F/N just chuckled and tried to pull Y/N’s arms down.

“She’s fine, you just have to push the right buttons to get her to come out of her shell.” Y/F/N explained, jellyfishing her best friend's knee with a fond smile.

Scarlett smiled and watched Y/N carefully. “I’ll try.” She said as she gently spidered into Y/N’s sides, trying to peer around to find her smile.

Y/N gasped and flinched, trying hard not to giggle as she tried to decide between protecting herself and covering her face. Eventually, she decided to try and hide her smile with one hand whilst using the other to gently push Scarlett’s hand away.

“Aww, come on, Y/N, you know you want to giggle!” Scarlett cooed quietly, moving up to her ribs and scribbling in a little faster which made Y/N squeal and attempt to protect her ribs at the same time.

Just then, Florence looked over at Y/F/N with a fond smile. “What about you, huh?” She asked casually, briefly squeezing into her lower ribs, grinning over at Y/F/N as her eyes widened, she shuffled away a little whilst letting out a single giggle.

“Nono, don’t you dahahare!” Y/F/N burst into quiet giggles, shyly attempting to squeeze into Florence’s sides, which were sometimes successful as the actress briefly retracted her hand to protect herself whilst letting out a quiet squeal.

Meanwhile, Scarlett had gently wrapped Y/N in a side hug, spidering her fingers all over her belly whilst still searching for her smile. “You can’t be shy forever!” She told her quietly, scribbling in even more which caused Y/N to eventually giggle properly whilst sucking her stomach in and attempting to push at Scarlett’s tickly hands, but to no avail.

Florence and Y/F/N continued to have their mini tickle fight for a few minutes until Florence was eventually the first person to let go, smiling a little as she squeezed Scarlett’s knee, causing her to squeal and let go of Y/N, who now allowing herself to giggle freely without hiding away.

“Oh you’re so mean.” Florence giggled fondly before resuming her dessert once more, encouraging everyone else to do the same.

“Well hey, it worked, she’s no longer hiding away!” Y/F/N smiled as she looked over at Y/N, who shyly shook her head with a bashful smile, before finishing off her dessert.

Once everyone was finished, Scarlett asked for the bill. Y/N and Y/F/N went to get their cards out, but they were soon stopped by Scarlett and Florence each squeezing their sides.

“It’s on us, as a thank you for being so considerate and not getting in our faces.” Scarlett told them, paying and tipping on her card.

Y/N finally spoke to prove that she wasn’t as shy as before. “Thank you so much… we just wanted to be respectful.” She replied, causing the two actresses to smile gently.

“Well, it means a lot. Would you like a photo or anything? You can have more than a single signed napkin.” Florence chuckled as she got up. “We can take it outside so it’s easier for the four of us to be squished together.” She offered.

Y/F/N and Y/N nodded eagerly as they got up too, followed by Scarlett. The four of them went outside and huddled together, Y/N giving Florence her phone to take the picture with.

“Ready? One, two, three, cheese!” Florence announced, taking the opportunity to gently scribble into Y/F/N’s side with her free hand, whilst Scarlett scribbled into Y/N’s ribs once again, causing everyone to giggle happily whilst attempting to look at the screen.

Florence took a burst and a few photos before giving the phone back to Y/N. “I’m sure those turned out adorably!” Scarlett complimented before opening her arms out to offer hugs. Y/N grinned and hugged Scarlett, giving her a little squeeze before pulling away.

Florence nodded and hugged Y/F/N, giving her an extra tight squeeze before going over to do the same to Y/N. Scarlett also hugged Y/F/N sweetly and rubbed her back.

“It was so lovely to meet you guys…” Y/N told Scarlett and Florence with a smile, huddling close to Y/F/N again, who smiled and hugged her to her side.

“It was lovely to meet you too, and thank you so much for being respectful again.” Scarlett replied with a gentle smile, getting her keys out to unlock the car.

Florence smiled too and gave Y/F/N one more hug. “Yeah, it means a lot to us when we get treated like actual humans.” Florence added as she put a hand on Y/N’s shoulder briefly, making her blush and smile. “Well, you are.” She commented back. “Unless there’s something you haven’t been telling us.”

Florence giggled and playfully wriggled her fingers and made silly noises before going over to Scarlett. “Okay, we better get going, thanks again!” Scarlett told the fans before quickly getting into the car before the paparazzi spotted them.

Y/N and Y/F/N headed to their car too, clinging onto each other as they excitedly talked about what just happened, as they watched the burst over and over again, grinning happily as they did so.

Disclaimer: This one-shot is based off the rumors that Kelso will be a dead beat dad. I have no idea if this true, but for now, I wanted to write this. Enjoy.

_______________________________________________________________________

Taking a sip on her cherry cola. Leia was cuddled up next to her boyfriend Jay. The two teens were having their annual movie night. They were watching the “Breakfast Club” for the millionth time.

“My God, are we going to be like our parents?” Andrew whispered.

Jay shifted uncomfortably in his seat, hoping his actions would go unnoticed by Leia. But unfortunately Jay wasn’t that lucky.

“Jay, you alright?” Leia looked at him with slight concern.

“Huh?” startled by her question. “Yeah, I’m fine.” he turned his attention back to the television.

“Oh, come on. Tell me what’s going on in that noggin of yours?” Leia playfully poked at Jay’s head.

“Leia.” Jay groaned. “it’s nothing I swear. Can we please go back to watching the movie?” Jay pleaded, stuffing his face full of the buttery popcorn.

A lightbulb went off in her head. “Do you worry about that?”

“About what?”

“Becoming like your dad?” Leia speculated.

“Yeah. Sort of,” Jay confessed. “I know he’s my dad, But he’s such an asshole. Do you know what it’s like to love, and hate someone at the same time?”

Leia arched single eyebrow. “Is that even possible?”

“Unfortunately for me it is.” Jay threw his head back. “I get it, you get a girl pregnant and it doesn’t work out, fine. But the second women who you marry and have a child with, come on. You should have it together at that point.”

“I wish I could say I understand, but I don’t.” Leia smiled sadly

“Be glad you don’t. Your parents are perfect.” His voice was laced with jealousy.

“Um, they named me Leia. They obviously have a few screws loose.” she reminded her boyfriend.

“Yeah, but your dad never abandoned you, to go off and do god knows what.” Jay pointed out, causing Leia to give a look of sympathy. “My dad could give less of a shit about me and mom. I swear, I could be in the hospital, and he’d find an excuse not to show up.” Jay ranted.

“Okay, you’re right. My dad’s pretty awesome.” Leia acknowledged.

“And he makes these promises.” Jay continues to speak. “But he never comes through. And what’s worse, is that my mom still believes in him. I don’t know how many time she said she’s done with him, and then bam! she goes right back.”

“I’m sorry.” Leia responded, not knowing what else to say.

“I just worry, that I’ll end up like him.” Jay sighed. “I don’t want to end up hurting you.”

“I know what about to tell you, is super cliche but, you have control have your life, and actions. You don’t wanna be like your dad, then don’t.”

“What if...”

“Jay.” Leia interrupted him. “Stop, from the time I’ve known you, you’ve never acted like him.

“Well, I guess that makes me feel better.” Jay replied half heartedly.

“Jay look at me.” She grabs his face. “I know you are. You’re friends know you are, so does your mom. We all think you’re an amazing person. Don’t worry who you might be, worry about who you are now.”

“Jesus, when did you became such a sap.” Jay teased.

“Hey!” Leia slapped his arm. “I’m trying to be nice to you, you asshole.”

“And I appreciate it. But that’s not excuse to get all corny, we’re not on some soap opera.” Jay smirked at his girlfriend, who was currently glaring at him. “Come on, don’t me that look. Let’s get back to the movie.” He kisses her on the nose.”

“Yeah, you’re so not you dad.” She giggles. “Too much of a dork.”

While more than a little agreeable, honestly, I feel that the omnipresent protests about Infested Kerrigan's redesign can be a little much.

Like. On a Doylist level, considering what company StarCraft was made by, I absolutely agree. They absolutely sexualized her! And it's gross! (The overlooked, but actually grossest aspect here is that SC2, which decided to "redeem" her, made her face white again...)

But!

On a Watsonian level, it's... fine??? No big deal? In fact, honestly, I'd argue it isn't weird or out of place at all.

Her first infested form retaining a distinctly human face makes sense; the Queen of Blades was originally intentionally designed by the Overmind--who was at least moderately prescient--so it was only natural the dude give her an appearance that could capitalize on her manipulative acumen. And it evidently paid off in the Brood War; Raynor, being Raynor, wouldn't have realistically been willing to believe her at all if she just looked like a regular ol' space bug.

I get why the hair-tentacle "dreadlocks" are a little uncomfortable, but, fellas, how else are you going to make Zerg hair? Never even struck me as dreadlocks, personally.

SC2's redesign, as well, isn't that offensive to me because, by then, it was all her doing. She made herself look like that! And of course she would! One of her defining traits has always been vanity--even when she was human, the girl wore makeup! And had long hair as a soldier! Of course she'd give herself heels and boobs and ass and sick purple lights!

And as for "impracticality," it's really just... not? Kerrigan is the core of a hive mind composed otherwise entirely of purpose-built murder bugs! She doesn't need to optimize her physical form for close combat, she's got zerglings for that! And, besides, her telekentic power level ranges from planet-sized storms to crushing marine power armor like tin cans. Barring her (also in-character) recklessness, she could make herself an ant and still be virtually unstoppable.

She's a dork partaking in self-love... let her be, man. Yes, women in fiction always needing to be sexy isn't a healthy phenomenon, but we all get that. We don't need to harp on them ad infinitum for having the audacity to choose to look good in their own eyes--women get to choose what they do with their own bodies, and if Kerrigan makes herself a pretty monster girl, nice! Valid!

That said, awesome fanart offering different takes on her infested form are also badass! Love it! And we can appreciate both!

The Wedding Date (Part 3)

Title: The Wedding Date (Chapter 3) Summary: At the wedding, also Shego realises this might be a date. Rating: PG for violence? There is a fight scene Author’s Note: This part is terribly unhinged, but I had to write it, it’s just what would happen if Drakken and Shego went to a wedding, I don’t make the rules.

I checked it through with Grammarly, so it sounds okay, tell me if it doesn’t 😘 Feedback/likes are so appreciated. Will also be posted to AO3.

Shego preferred bodysuits over every other form of clothing but she was going to a wedding, she had to dress the part no matter how much she despised it. The dress she had chosen was one of simple black silk with a slit up the side; she was beyond thankful that Alicia hadn’t asked her to wear the pink the bridesmaids were wearing, it would not match her complexion. Picking up her bag, she left to check on her companion.

Ever since the dinner they had with the happy couple, Shego found herself noticing Drakken more; he was still a cuckoo for cocoa puffs mad scientist but there were things that if she were brave enough to admit, she liked about him. She knocked on the door to his room “Doc, are you ready? I want to get there early.”

Drakken rarely wore suits, let alone a tuxedo; he much preferred his lab coat, but it was hardly suitable for a formal gathering. When he heard Shego knock, he had been struggling with his bow tie, he was a genius but for some reason, he couldn’t figure out how to tie the small piece of material properly. He opened the door. “Shego, could you?”

Shego rolled her eyes and tugged on the tie. “You couldn’t say Shego, you look amazing first?” Typical science-obsessed dork, not noticing the important things.

It wasn’t because he hadn’t noticed, it was just that he was unsure how she would take a compliment from him; many times, throughout their partnership he had accidentally said the wrong thing leading to him getting part of his lab demolished or second-degree burns.

“You look quite nice, Shego though I’m not sure you are supposed to outshine the bride.”

Shego blushed deeply at the compliment, damn that was smooth. Here was a man who couldn’t flirt to save his life and he pulls out a banger like that? Everyone got one chance to be suave in their lifetime, she guessed that was his. She eased up on her grip a little and finished with his tie. “Thanks, you clean up nice, too.” She smiled and clapped her gloved hands together “So let’s go, time to celebrate love.” Shego took Drakken’s arm, and they headed towards the hover car.

Drakken smirked “I can tell that hurt for you to say, most women like the romance and pageantry of weddings.” But Shego wasn’t most women.

She shrugged “I don’t know, it’s always just seemed kind of fake to me. Marriage, time to buy a house and make babies.” That was what people did, wasn’t it? It sounded boring, she preferred breaking and entering over being part of the P.T.A. “But hey if that’s what Henry wants to do, good for him.” She started up the hover car and flew out of the hangar, their destination Go City.

Drakken shrugged “Perhaps you’ve just never been in love.”

Shego glared at him, he did not just say that! “Like you know anything about love? You built a fembot because real women didn’t want to be around you.”

Drakken pouted, she knew he was sensitive about that. “You’re here.” He mumbled under his breath.

Shego could feel her plasma rising, it was dangerous to let it go inside the hover car, but he set this in motion. “Explain yourself, now.”

Drakken realised he had said the wrong thing, so he tried to justify it. “You’re a woman and a devastatingly attractive one at that, you tell everyone you stay because the money is good but what about when I was in jail, hmm? You weren’t getting paid then. So, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say at least one woman wants to be around me.”

She could argue that he was crazy but there was some truth in his statement; when he was in prison Shego drifted between jobs, doing what she could to make money so that when they were reunited once more, they would have something to live off until the villainy picked up again.

Where had this confidence to speak to her so candidly come from she wondered, was it the suit? Also, did he call her hot? She wasn’t sure how to feel about that. She turned back to the console of the hover car and prepared for landing. “I have to go be normal in front of my family, but we are not done talking about this.”

“Fine.”

“Fine!” She stood and took his arm; she was mad but decided to be the bigger person. There were other things to focus on right now. Drakken just let her be, she got like this sometimes.

Shego was surprised by the number of people filing into the church. “What, did he invite the whole town?” Henry was a people person; he would probably invite everyone he ever served at Bueno Nacho if he could. As they walked in, she heard a lot of whispering, probably from people who didn’t realise she was Henry’s sister; she was sure there had been rumours about her death published more than once in the tabloids.

“Everything alright?” Drakken leaned down to whisper in her ear, his low voice was unexpected but comforting.

She nodded “Yeah, I just remembered how much I don’t like crowds.” But hey, the wedding wasn’t going to be super long, right? She could endure. Shego and Drakken took their seat in the front row and waited for the wedding to start.

“Sheila!” Her younger brother Michael, better known as Mego gave her a wave, he looked to be filling the role as best man. Shego was always closest to him, when she decided to leave Team Go, Michael was the most understanding. She was happy he was here.

Soft music filled the church followed shortly by Alicia and her father walking down the aisle. Shego smiled, Alicia looked beautiful in her flowing lace dress, like a princess and Henry looked at her with so much love it made her think maybe love was real after all.

The service itself was quite boring, shortly after the priest started talking Shego started to take an inventory of the holy relics at the front of the church and how much they would sell for on the black market. Every now and then she’d look over at Drakken, she’d never seen him sit this still before; she figured it was because he was into what was going on, what a nerd.

The conversation they had on the way there caught her off guard, she did want to be around him. He was the world’s worst supervillain, but it was kind of charming. Damn, what were these feelings? Wedding-induced, surely.

The ceremony was coming to an end; the happy couple had said their vows I dos but just as the priest was going to announce Henry and Alicia as husband and wife, the large stained-glass window above the altar exploded sending those gathered into a panic as glass rained down.

Shego, not new to having things blow up around her quickly pulled Drakken under the pew for cover. She looked up to see Aviarius standing in the broken windows with a flock of birds surrounding him.

“Fly my pretties! Round up everyone you think might catch Team Go’s attention.” The birds flew down and swooped around the building, attacking the guests.

Shego was furious, this was very much not okay, how dare that bird brain gate-crash her brother’s wedding? She looked over to where they had been standing, Henry was clinging to Alicia while the twins were helping Michael out from under some rubble. “Okay, we need to act.”

“Right.” Drakken nodded “Are we helping or hindering?” It might seem like an easy question, but they were supervillains, and it got confusing sometimes.

“Help, obviously. I’ll draw his attention so the boys can regroup, maybe you can get Alicia out?” A simple enough task, whenever Possible or the cops were after them, Drakken always managed to find way to safety. “Got it?”

Drakken nodded though he still didn’t look like he was a hundred per cent behind the plan. On impulse, Shego gave him a peck on the lips “Good luck.” He stared at her oddly, he wasn’t used to displays of affection from her, especially towards him. “Go!”

Not needing to be told twice, Drakken dashed out and went to Alicia’s side ushering her and her bridesmaids away from danger. Shego shook her head, that was going to come back and bite her in the ass later she was sure but right now she had bigger fish to fry.

“Aviarius!” She came out from her hiding place, talking loudly to get his attention. “You weren’t invited to this wedding.” Or at least, she hoped he wasn’t her brother had limited brain cells, so it wouldn’t surprise her that he invited the supervillain by accident. “I’m going to have to ask you to leave, either in a police car or a body bag, your choice.”

Aviarius looked at her with his beady eyes “Well, if it isn’t the forgotten daughter, I hadn’t expected to see you here, but you’ll be the perfect bait to lure your family out. My birds, go after the girl!”

Shego lit up her hands and started firing off blasts to scare the birds away, both her actions and the birds were tearing up the interior, it made he feel a little bad that she had messed up her brother’s wedding but on the other hand, he’d be alive so maybe it wasn’t a bad thing. Speaking of, she’d noticed they were not standing at the altar anymore, hopefully, they had gone and put their super suits on so they could help take care of this menace.

“Shego!” Hego appears beside her, picking up a pew to hurl at their foe, the bench catching Aviarius’s foot and knocking him down onto the pipe organ.

“Nice of you to show up, where are the others?”

“Mego got pretty beat up, the twins are staying with him, it’ll okay though, we’ve got this.” He grinned. “We still have the wedding reception to get to.”

Shego nodded. “Right, can’t miss that.” She ducked as Aviarius swooped at her. “What is with this guy?” Team Go’s powers weren’t that sought after, it was just that this nerd had it out for them.

Their nemesis went back to perch on top of the organ and laughed maniacally, sending more birds after them but during the commotion, Shego found she had a clear shot that would take him down. “Okay, here we go.” She aimed her hands and fired a powerful blast causing Aviarius to fall to the ground. Shego and her brother rushed to where he fell.

“Great job Shego, you killed him!” Her brother said sarcastically.

“He’s fine, aren’t you bird man?” She gave him a little kick and the man groaned in pain, Shego smiled, she had never expelled that much energy before, it was kind of exciting. Police filtered into the church and Shego immediately tensed, she didn’t want the police to think she had anything to do with what had happened there.

Hego nodded to his sister. “I’ll deal with this; you go along to the reception and check on the guests.”

Shego excused herself, outside was a mass of police cars and ambulances. ‘Where is he?’ She wondered as she scanned the crowd for Drakken. She found him sitting in the back of an ambulance, holding a cold compress to his head.

“You look like hell.” She sat down next to him and looked at his wound, it was deep, but it would heal. Another scar for his already marked up face.

Drakken looked at her with concern. “Are you alright?” He gave her a quick once over, there were a few cuts and scratches from encountering the birds, but she seemed okay. “I did not see our date going like this.” He chuckled, it was weird being the victim of a supervillain attack and not the perpetrator.

“Wait, this was a date?” She supposed it was, though she hadn’t let herself think about that. “You said I was hot earlier.”

Drakken shrugged “You kissed me. Sounds like a date.” It had gone better than most of his previous dates at least. “Probably something we should discuss at some point?”

Oh yay, a long awkward conversation about their feelings, that sounded like fun. “Sounds like future!Shego’s problem, right now I’m hungry for cake.”

Drakken stood and offered Shego his arm. She smiled and took it and together they walked through the crowd to where the after-party was being held.

Put On Your Raincoats | Bad Girls (Frazer & Svetlana, 1981)

There's a key scene late in the movie, after the heroines have been captured by some evil secret S&M society of powerful political figures, and are imprisoned for "conditioning". One of them, played by Anna Ventura, is forcefully taken aside by a scoutmaster, played by Ron Jeremy, who then demands she seduce him or he'll beat her. So then we get her going through some tired porno dialogue for the benefit of this pointedly inadequate man. Like many a questionable porno scene, this asks you to get off on what is conceptually a pretty sleazy scene, all the more so due to the presence of Jeremy, given both his offscreen actions and his off putting screen presence. The sheer magnetism Ventura displays helps alleviate some of these downbeat vibes, but I think there's something else going on here.

One of the villains of the movie, a judge who runs this evil secret S&M society, announces his motivations soon after we meet him. "We are crusaders in a world of forgotten values, and it is up to us to maintain and pass on to future generations the tradition. We are truly the male chauvinist pigs, and I for one am proud of it." So you have him, Jeremy and a few others (all of whom look like members of Jethro Tull) seeking to control women for their desires, driven less so by actual attraction than a sense of frustration and contempt for women. "Incels" weren't defined as such back then, but you can see this skewering the same view of masculinity. (I think it's somewhat intentional that the movie doesn't attempt to mine any erotic charge from the manor setting used by the society, as it's essentially a clubhouse for dorks and losers.) You compare this to an almost parodically macho figure early on, a lumberjack played by John Leslie with a five o'clock shadow, abs glistening, two blonde babes in his arms serving him (warm) beer after a long day of chopping wood.

And in contrast to all of this, you have a group of female characters who through sheer vivacity maintain a level of agency despite all the porno cliches they go through. (Take an extended seduction scene that seems like it'll go somewhere obvious, only to end abruptly.) Despite the darker turn halfway through the movie, this is essentially a hangout piece, with some very appealing leads who play really well off each other. The highlights are the aforementioned Ventura as well as the great Michelle Bauer, who share a very hot lesbian scene that is unfortunately interrupted by Jeremy. (I do not enjoy his presence, but appreciate that this movie acknowledges how he ruins its good vibes and otherwise dunks on him relentlessly.) This is fundamentally an excuse to watch gorgeous women get it on in a picturesque setting (the woods are beautifully shot, although the Deliverance scenario envisioned by Ventura doesn't quite come to pass), and is perfectly enjoyable on that level, but I appreciate the grace notes it finds in the material.

I love how Joe is still a dork with a slightly too earnest slightly pretentious heart on his sleeve. Sometimes I’m like, he really left that line in? but it’s kind of endearing in its rough-around-the-edges-ness?

The problem with Album is I have Opinions about who should be singing most of these songs and it's the actual Family, not the flashy big names who do the one song but are distant cousins at best.

(that’s not jason tam. the answer isn’t the most jason-tam-or-bust black suits song for me, but his black suits character work is unmatched)

(although, I have to appreciate Heidi Blickenstaff. She is my preferred Ammonia vocal and I have to give her credit for how much she commits and isn’t afraid to sound weird and not-pretty when the song calls for it, like “aw shit I love to clean the house” hits in a very particular and important way)

yeah sorry I mean this version of Archie is fine but it’s not EWM so it just sounds wrong. i do appreciate having a cleaner recording, but will I really listen to it when I can listen to EWM? probably not.

at least nobody’s trying to replace Lauren on Lydia! Sweettooth sounds kinda different? not like it’s someone else, but maybe it’s just a different acting choice or being older or something? seems like they slowed down the song as a whole too. so... i might feel the same way i feel about these replacement people even though it’s the right person. (however i have my own baggage with this song and maybe it’s not a terrible thing that it’s not taking me to the emotional place that my preferred version does)

for new people doing songs i’m most looking forward to play the princess!

i mean... i have no idea how i feel about “naked caucasian girl”? (ok i guess i do by the end of this paragraph) i mean, is it supposed to make him less racist? ‘cause “caucasian” for “white” is associated with nazism... i’m not saying that the original version was unproblematic but like, it’s a character song and the guy is obviously fucked up in a bunch of ways so i’m not sure that having him fetishize a korean woman is any worse because it’s the character, no one’s saying you should spy on your neighbors, barge into their apartments, and commit violence against yourself, with or without the racism. anyway it just seems pretty unrealistic that this white guy would think “naked caucasian girl” like. come on. what kind of white person sees another white person and immediately thinks, “a caucasian person!”?

i totally worked with jose restrepo once. joe is so obsessed with nostalgia and i vibe with that. i’m feeling this. helps that i don’t have a history with it

totally get that the song isn’t about transness but still kinda interesting to me to cast l morgan lee as the conventionally attractive feminine actress with all the pretty privilege. makes me think about how beautiful trans women’s relationship to pretty privilege is different than beautiful cis women’s and maybe in some ways the same. probably that natalie vid on beauty is relevant here.

peeking ahead i’m really curious about the choice of which songs to include from full musicals, and especially ones that already have studio recordings. why those particular songs, joe? i guess to get a new take on them? (is there anyone whose job it is to, like, edit? to be like, hey joe, maybe we don’t need this song on this album ‘cause it’s not actually that good or interesting? not saying that i feel that way about any of them but also i’m gonna be real impressed in LMM can sell me on the idea that muthers r speshul is more than a self-indulgent cute bit in a live show)

ok i am not that attached to the version of “yesterdays” i’m used to, i LOVE jason veasey on this. i always love jason tam and it’s great but i’m also thinking of all the other songs i would’ve wanted him to be singing on this album that he’s not, so that’s the downside. (this song is also so similar to right place/wrong time)

what’s lorinda doing these days? i kinda want to hear her do ammonia. she’s underrated.

i think joe should have a separate album that’s just the horror movie fanfic songs. they’re great but they just feel more like a set than something that should be mixed in here with all the rest. idk (it sorta feel like there’s a deliberate grouping of them together in the track order, except that lydia and norman aren’t in that part and sympathy for the killer is. is sympathy for the killer based on a horror movie? i don’t think so?)

ok so i think they changed a couple words in “saddest girl” maybe but nothing that would actually make it less ableist? like, you could just leave the song off the album. it’s ok. sad amputee song made more sense for edgelord!joe over a decade ago than it does for progressive!joe who is a middle-aged man with a large young audience

i don’t think i’ve ever heard of grace mclean but like... prisoner’s christmas song does not need to be on this album.

thank gods right place/wrong time has the right performers. no offense to everyone else in the world but.

is 52 the one that’s cowritten with michael r. jackson?

more surprised that they changed the ending of “guy that i’d kinda be into” than the gender

and they went back to the older “joey is a punk rocker” lyrics? speaking of annie golden, why aren’t there any songs from broadway bounty hunter on this? (i am less surprised that there’s nothing from plant and rewrite, especially because rewrite is... not good... sorry about it)(i guess there’s not really anything from lihn because teenage delinquent is functionally a different song)

i kinda don’t mind the overproduced version of social worker? i mean obviously it’s nick so i can’t argue with the vocal but the production is so different but also the same?

i guess lance is hard to replace in slide whistle because his song is in the lyrics, but also... do we need this song on this album?

unpopular opinion, i think having the spoken explanation of muther r speshul is wimping out. like, if you want to put this song on the album, just fucking do it. commit to that decision.

i feel like there could be a trans reading of velociraptor? but also a more play-the-princess reading that is more relatable for a me type.

is it bad that i kinda don’t get the “gone tomorrow” part of “him today, gone tomorrow”? like the future state is explicitly the she, and it ends with that instead and i love the “me today me tomorrow” but what’s the gone? is it supposed to be anxiety over the uncertainty of the post-transition self? i don’t get any of that from the song though because it seems positive and excited from the beginning, not like there’s any doubt... is it just gone from “him” generally but not specifying the her yet? (it’s also slightly striking to me that there are two trans women on this album and neither of them are either of the smith twins.)

this might sound shady but it’s not intended that way, but like, i am impressed by how much joe seems to still like his early work. i feel like so many artists, even when their early work is great, start to get really critical of it and have negative reactions to how much people love it. but there are so many early songs on this album and no need for him to do that except that i think he’s still proud of them.

is tightrope walker gonna be one of those too relatable songs

i feel like most of what i can say about why i like this recording of party hat i shouldn’t say because it’s mean. (and weirdly that fact has emotional baggage? a type of bitchiness that was to only be expressed in a space that no longer exists because... exish) i mean if you have heard most other versions you might be able to guess why this one is better. (some of the asides seem new too? maybe? or just more audible?)

so the next 4 songs are something i think we haven’t seen yet on this album: songs from musicals, performed by people who performed them in those musicals. i was kinda thinking that was something that was being avoided earlier but it’s here now. (also back-to-back songs from the same show i feel like hasn’t happened on here before)

i know joe is into the i’m-another-species outcast song, and there are many ways to read such things, but i think it’s pretty safe to say nato is neurodivergent-coded?

Hello!

May I request a romantic Ouran High School Host Club matchup and moodboard please?

My pronouns are she/her and I would like to be paired with a male character.

Some facts about me: I’m an Aries who is an INFJ-T. My favourite colour is lavender and my favourite aesthetic would be Minimalism. The most prominent features of me would be my eyes and smile.

Personality: I’m extremely empathetic and I care about those around me, constantly making sure that they are doing alright. My friends even call me their own therapist! I’m patient with people and can handle many types of people whether they have anger issues or simply just childish. I’m always there to make sure that they don’t go too far and that they continue with their tasks. Although I’m an INFJ, I consider myself as an ambivert. I can easily make friends but I may have trust issues at first.

Hobbies: I like listening to music, journaling, cooking and learning new languages.

Current concern: I often dwell on past mistakes which affects my daily life. Sometimes, I feel so guilty that I feel motivated to do anything. I would like to have a person who would be able to make me feel better by telling me that it’s ok to make mistakes and cheering me up by making me laugh and smile.

Love Languages: Receiving gifts, quality time and acts of service.

Have a nice day!

Thank you in advance!

╚⏤╗Hello lovely Haru, welcome to the party!! Hope you have a lovely stay!!╔⏤╝

╰┈➤you have been matched with....

->The ever knowledgeable and business-oriented guest who showed up perfectly on time and has been a delight to host, Kyoya Ootori!! Kyoya is ever a gracious guest, he came on time with an extravagant gift a bunch of loveable dorks in his wake. His invitation was one that was returned back first with an RSVP. Now this is only a guess but he saw this part as a good opportunity for the Host Club and to make more connections for himself.

AT THE PARTY YOU TWO WOULD...

-You would be in a group conversation when something about you caught his eye, maybe it was that gorgeous smile or the intelligence and wit in your tone- He was drawn to you. -He decided to speak to you one on one, thinking this feeling was related to his true purpose of coming to the event; making business connections. -You spent the night speaking about different experiences, and interests you two have. He mostly listens to you, but engages with parts he related to such as learning other languages -It caught him off guard when he heard you laugh, he hadn't realized it but he had made a joke as it was out of character for him (his friends were getting to the mature and cool man). But god,, that laugh made his heart warm. He had heard many women laugh, never finding much joy in it until now. He wants to hear that sound over and over.

I PAIRED YOU TWO BECAUSE...

-While at first I was considering Tamaki or Honey due to your patient nature and love to laugh. The rest pulled me right to Kyoya, while patience and laughter are two things Kyoya needs in a partner. -Aries and Sagittarius are a terrific match -Kyoya's rose is lavender and that's a color I often associate him with! -I also feel as though he enjoys minimalism -I think he needs a partner who is empathetic and patient with him, with his closed-off attitude and familial trauma- not to forget his work-oriented brain -Two lovely people with trust issues -I feel as though you are also an intelligent person, something he would appreciate -He would love meals cooked by you, you would set a whole new standard for him -He would never let you dwell on mistakes, as his partner he's so kind to you compared to how he is with others. He would always know when you need reassurance and give it to you how he can. -You two have the same love languages, simple. The more time he can spend with you no matter how or why, the better. Spoiling you with gifts? Yeah, what else is this money for? And when you do little things for him, his heart melts.

MOODBOARD

● The party has only just begun my friend●

On One Piece and talent

I've been thinking about this for a while but one thing I really really love about One Piece is the absolute, complete lack of talent and genius among the characters in the conventional sense of the words.

Don't get me wrong, they're all talented like crazy in their respective depratments but it's never the focus, never the main (or entire) defining part of their character. And more then that, they all worked their asses off to get where they are. And the all have flaws.

Is Luffy an amazing fighter with incredible charisma? Absolutely. He grew up on a mountain fighting tigers and boys 3 years older than him, training every day. He even had to train for 2 years to master his gift of Haoshoku haki and he's still learning. He is also stupid and an absolute dork.

Is Zoro a talented swordsman? Absolutely. He works his ass of every fucking day since he was like 8 or something. He is also stupid and has less then zero sense of direction.

Is Nami a genius navigator and cartographer? Absolutely. She studied navigation since she was a child and did nothing but draw maps for 10 years. She is also "a queen witch" with a money obsession (for obvious and understandable reasons).

Is Usopp a perfet shot? Absolutely. He practiced by himself since he was child. He also has major self-esteem issues.

Is Sanji a world-class, talented chef? Absolutely. He taught himself to cook, got training on a cruiser ship and then a lot more of intense training under Zeff and in Kamabakka. He is also incredibly weak to women.

I could go on with basically everyone.

The closest character to perfection I can think of is Lucci, but even then, the thing that's brought to our attention more than his talent is his ruthlessness and devotion to the world government. Him being a genius is mentioned basically in passing.

(There's also Oden who had been fucking people up since he was pretty much a kid but no one who talked about him cared about his talent. The important part that was brought to our attention the entire time we've known him was that he was completely incorrigible and a human calamity on Wano. He was always a considered a monster (kind of like Zoro is a demon) not a genius. Which is, somehow, both Oden's talent and his flaw.)

And to me, this particular part of One Piece is so so important. A lot--a vast majority, I dare say--of shonen manga/anime have at least one character that is a born genius who excels at everything and anything they do without really having to even try and whose talent is like 90% of their character, their only flaw being that they're too perfect to understand normal people. But Oda puts all the attention on the hard work that's behind the success, even with the ones who were "destined for greatness" -- we know that Lucci got rigorous training under CP9, even the genetically modified Vinsmokes got worked to the bone since they were toddlers. And all of them have flaws.

Actual flaws.

And I think characters like this are so important, inspiring and beautiful and I will forever thank Oda for appreciating characters for working hard to achieve their own dreams, with support from people who love them, instead of praising what was given to them at birth.

Disclaimer: this isn't by any means criticism on talented or gifted characters in media, they definitely have their place. This is simply me putting into words one of the most important aspects of One Piece to me, personally.

#one piece #eiichiro oda #op meta #i suppose #luffy #zoro #nami #usopp #sanji #rob lucci #oden #katie thinks she's relevant #as someone who got 15 years of hard work ripped from her hands by talent and a pretty face #seeing characters get appreciated for all the work they put in #makes me very happy and emotional #just something that touches me very deeply #might delete later idk

Bloody Season

Donnie and Leo X Fem!Reader

This is a serie of three chapters about Donnie explaining to his brothers about menstruation. His such knowledge was given by reader through a doubt he had during her period, and from deep researches.

Warnings: SFW, blood mention.

Leonardo was in the kitchen drinking some water before prepare himself for another training round, as he always do—a glass of fresh water soothe his nerves, relaxing his tensed muscles. You were caught off guard by his deep voice calling you, who was staring at his toned muscles (damn, it might had made Leo think you were flirting or something).

"Oh, hi Leo" You hide your embarassement with a forced smile.

Leo tilted his head sightly, a pair of blue eyes studying you.

"Is everything okay? You seem far away" the leader commented as walks past you towards dojo.

"Oh uh, yeah, I'm fine..."

"You sure?".

"Yep, of course" Another dork smile curled over your lips, making Leonardo shake his head and following his way to another side of the big space of the Lair.

"Oh, Y/N-" He called, turning to face you again "Wanna join me for training?".

You gulped by concern. Of course, you have always accept his invitation to spend some time in dojo—not to execute heavy ninjutsu, but for a basic self defense session, yoga, or meditation. It is, mostly, physical effort; and today you sorta "forbidden" of require from it.

"I appreciate it, Leo, but... I... can't..."

"Why you can't?" He simply asked, confused. You have never refused his invite for training, but today he noticed you were quieter than before.

You trembled a bit "Uh... You wouldn't understand..." your shoulders shrugged, making your form smaller than normal. Moving his nimble legs, he made his way to you. He had never seen you acting like this before: quieter than as you used to be, staying in your own personal space during the much time of the day, tired and sad eyes expressed over your gently face. He knew you were not okay.

"Y/N, are you sure you're okay?" He asked, landing his massive hand softly on your shoulder.

"Yes, Leo" You assured "I'm not in those mood days, ya know..." You looked up at him, watching carefully his worry face staring down at you.

"You're not okay. Don't lie to me". You felt the concern and authority in his voice. The urge of explain your fragile situation is big, but would Leonardo understand? You do not feel comfortable to talk about it; you're not ready yet.

"I..." You sighed deeply "I'm on my period".

Now who was caught off guard was Leo. The poor fearless froze with his hand still touching you, his mind far away from reality. What is he thinking, you thought, trying to not laugh at his confused face.

"Leo?"

His eyes twinkled, his attention back to you "I-uh, of course. Period?" He murmmured the last word to himself "And how are you feeling now? I mean!-" Poor man, he is so lost "I will- I'll train. Call me if you need some help" he smiled timidly, leaving you alone in the main space.

You couldn't help but let out a chuckle, walking towards a couch near you. You have no idea what Leo was thinking back there, and you would pay for know that.

Leonardo, in quick steps, head to dojo; his mind still lost in an infinity of questions, hipotheses, weird stuff. Why can't you do your stuff during your period? So many doubts fills his head. Leo stops a step away from the door of the dojo, face down and eyes locked on the ground. He doesn't accept being struggled by such of curiosity, and he doesn't dare ask you about it.

"Donatello" Leo called as enters in the computer station where his young nerdy brother was working on something which Leo didn't lose time to think about.

"Leo! You scared me!" Donnie protested, placing his hand above his upper chest "What happened?".

"Listen up. There's something wrong with Y/N. She has been acting weirdly in the last few days and it doesn't smell good and I'm not liking that. She didn't agreed in join me in training today and-".

"Whoa, whoa Leo. Chill out!" Donnie interrupted "What are you talking about?".

"She said she's on her period or something."

Donnie's cheeks swallowed, then the boy broke in laughs, making Leo blush a bit "Why are you laughing?".

"Leo, there's nothing wrong with Y/N. As she said, she is on her period. It's normal".

The leader eyes focused on a random spot in the lab, thinking, then at Donnie again "What do you mean?".

Donnie composed himself, leaning back on his skateboard chair, hands above his both thighs "Well" he lets out a heavy breathe "Do you really wanna know what is going on with her?".

Leo nodded affirmatively, stteping closely towards Donnie while picks a random chair near him and positioning it between his legs as lands his elbows above the back of the chair. It's the first time that Donnie sees his older brother's attention locked on him, which surprised the genius.

"Okay, I'll say. But you have to pay attention carefully".

Leo nodded again, Donnie's eyes moving over a screen next to him, its light illuminating half of his face "Once a month women undergo a natural process called period or menstruation". Leo nodded softly as listen carefully each word pronounced by his young brother "As we—everybody—knows, it happens within an organ named Uterus, or womb".

"Yes, yes" Leo agreed.

"The uterus prepares itself for pregnancy every single month, if the woman does not get pregnant, the uterus expels all its hard work which it has done throughout the month. That's why women bleed during this time".

"Wait, bleed? You mean blood runs out of their body?".

"Yep, blood runs out of their body... Well, what more... Oh, have you noticed Y/N's behavior before and during the menstruation? Women have syntoms of it. They feel cramps, lack of humor, tiredness, nausea, loss of appetite, and etc.".

"Oh..." Leonardo uttered, looking down.

"Of course, not every women feels all the syntoms. But they suffer from it. There are some women who faints by rough cramps".

"Geez, they suffer a lot...".

"Yeah, they do... But what can we complain on? Is their natural process. Y/N is one who keeps herself in her own personal space without interact too much. It's her way to be comfortable. She doesn't feel that up in doing daily stuff".

"I noticed that. Now I get why she didn't want to join me. And me thinking that she was bothered with something instead of... that" Leo giggled, running his hand over his bald head and behind neck "So... recaptulating all our conversation, m-menstrual...

"Menstrual cycle".

"Right. Um... menstrual cycle is when woman's body makes her go through a torture for not have a baby?" the leader lets out a nervous small giggle while rub behind his neck.

Donnie giggled as well "Yeah, something like this".

"That's cruel...".

There was a moment of pause, both mutant turtles looking around rether themselves. Is not comum two men have a debate of feminine stuff like what they just had, but at least Leo knows what is going on with you.

''Thanks, Donnie.'' Leo smiled, getting up, placing the chair back where it was, and heading out of the computer station. Of course, he is still with his cheeks burning for known something intimate about women, but he thanks his nerdy brother for open his eyes about something normal and obvious.

''Happy for help'' Donnie smiled back, turning back to his work.

''Hey, Y/N'' you jumped a bit as Leo's voice calls you again. The leader chuckled by your reaction ''Sorry for scare you. I know you do not have conditions to push your body to its limit today, but... Would you want to watch me training?''.

That makes you blush.

You grinned ''I'd love.''

"BTS' Jeon Jungkook rumored to be dating stripper from nightclub!"

"Jungkook is no longer single, ladies!"

"Jeon Jungkook is dating a stripper? Why the hell is he doing that?"

"Who the hell does she think she is? I bet she's not even pretty."

"Jungkook fell for a stripper? Out of all people? Damn, and I thought he was better than that."

Jungkook has been tired, the rumors constantly being spread day in and day out. But, it still didn't mean he was gonna say shit to prove himself to people out there. He didn't need to give anybody answers. Hell, this was strictly between you and him and that's how he wants to keep it.

Fuck every single one of you who didn't wanna be behind him and support him. Don't even think about calling yourself a fan of his if that's your mindset.

He could truly care less. He was happy and he felt ten times better than he has in a really long time. It's unfortunate how people love to stay narrow minded. The only thing that bothered him was the fact that it was so unfair for you - how they stuck to that stripper image, rather than really getting to know you beneath the surface.

But it's not like anyone else deserved to know the real you, not after all this shit. And he was gonna keep it that way, and protect you.

"Hey, don't listen to any of that shit, okay?" Jungkook says as he meets you in your car in the BigHit building garage. "None of that matters to me."

"I know, but Kook." You look at him. "Your career, BigHit literally might not even want me here and-and—"

"Then I'll make sure they understand it's not an issue, because it's really fucking not." He says, getting irritated only at the thought of the company giving him issues over you. He watches as you slightly frown, causing him to sigh and soften his own facial expression. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get worked up like that. It's just annoying how people are narrow-minded. This has absolutely nothing to do with you." You give him a small smile. "Come on, I'll walk you." You silently nod and hop out of your car. You follow beside him, your stomach in knots having to meet with their performance director. This meant you'd also most likely run into the rest of Bangtan.

In which happens to turn true pretty quickly.

"Jungkookie!" Hoseok says loudly down the hallway as he approaches the both of you. He does nothing besides smile, curiosity definitely filling his eyes.

"This is Y/N. Y/N, Hoseok hyung." He holds out his hand for you to shake, his head tilting ever so slightly because you know he's familiar with your face. He's just trying to remember from where. Or, he has recognized you, but he's trying his hardest not to say anything.

Cause they have seen all of you, especially in that fishnet bodysuit.

"Hi! Nice to meet you! You can call me Hobi for short. Are you meeting with someone?" You nod.

"Yeah." Is all you can reply with as you shyly tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.

"Nice, goodluck!"

"Is everyone else here?" Jungkook asks, making Hobi nod.

"Yeah, but they're still running through some stuff in the dance studio. I just ran off to take a break."

"Okay." Jungkook looks at you. "Follow me, he's in one of the private studio rooms." You both part ways from Hoseok, the need to clutch onto Jungkook's arm immensely strong right now. You hold yourself off though, because even with passing a few female staff members, you catch them looking at you oddly with the way you're walking side by side with Jungkook.

Nope. Don't even think about it, Y/N. It doesn't matter.

Jungkook knocks softly on a door, the middle of it being made up of entirely frosted glass so it's difficult to see inside. Their performance director opens the door swiftly and welcomes you in with a warm smile, stepping aside to let you in.

"I've got it from here, Jungkookie. Thank you." Jungkook nods but tries to peek through the door to get one last glimpse of your face before he shuts it fully. "How are you doing, Y/N?" He sits in front of you, leaning onto his knees with his hands fully clasped together.

"I'm good. How are you?"

"Good, tired." He chuckles. "Thanks for taking my call earlier and for meeting at such short notice on a weekend. I had a couple of things come up and didn't want to push things off until later." You smile.

"It's no problem."

"Jungkook tells me a lot about you."

"Does he now?" You chuckle and tilt your head to the side.

"Says you're a really good person. Super hardworking. Told me a little bit about your situation with your brother."

"Mmyeah, it's a little complicated."

"It's alright, no need to get into the details." He smiles before letting out a small sigh. "It's incredibly rare for me to hear Jungkook speak like that. In general. He's usually very closed off, doesn't like to let people in much. He really respects you, you know? Cares about you a whole lot." You slightly blush.

"I'm still getting used to it." He chuckled.

"Look, I know you've been worrying because of where you've been and all that, but I want to reassure you that none of it matters. I don't like to focus on all that. You're here as you, not her." He says, putting another pronoun to your stripper persona.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." He nods. There's a small pause before he begins to speak again.

"I could really use some help around here if you're still interested? The boys are becoming a lot for me to handle."

"Ah-uh, yeah! Of course I am." You found yourself stuttering at the sudden offer. Was this fucking real?! "But, you are aware of where me and Jungkook are at, right?" You ask, trying to be completely transparent and honest about their relationship. He nods and waves his hand out.

"As long as you keep it professional here, right?" You nod.

"Right."

"Come, let me show you around really quickly and have you formally meet the boys." You swallowed the lump in your throat. Fucking great. He definitely didn't know they've all seen your titties and pussy out during Yoongi's birthday, and now here you were - about to meet them again in this environment. Hobi was awkward enough even though he tried not to be.

Surprisingly, Jungkook wasn't waiting outside in the hallway like you thought he would be, but the tour commences and the PD is taking you around pretty quickly. You feel even more awkward and somewhat alone [even though you weren't] without Jungkook nearby, but you chug along and say your hello's to the people you're introduced to. He finally brings you into the dance studio, where there's loud ass music blasting, Jungkook, the boys and some backup dancers in front of the mirrors fooling around.

"Aye boys, come here real quick." You and Jimin lock eyes and your body suddenly gets tense. The room feels 10x hotter than it already is, especially when he slowly walks over and clenches his jaw. He is literally seeping with hate right now, maybe actually disgust, and he doesn't even try to hide it. Most of them for sure recognize you, but they seem to brush it off and give you a big wave/smile anyway.

"Last, that's Jimin - Jimin, Y/N." You give Jimin a fake smile, and the only thing his ass can reciprocate is the smallest, tight-lipped smile you have ever seen. You've never even seen your mom do that when she got mad or upset with you.

"Hi." Is all you can say.

"Sup." He looks at you before turning on his heel and walking away.

"Ooookay?" Namjoon furrows his brows as he watches Jimin walk away so rudely. "The hell was that about?"

"I knew that was Kookie's girlfriend! Maybe Jiminie remembers seeing her titties and shit too, needs to walk away before he gets his ass beat by him." Yoongi says lowly behind Namjoon.

"Yeah, like you're any better." Namjoon says, looking at Yoongi weirdly.

"I mean, we did see her practically naked." Jin says, chiming into the discussion.

"I touched her." Yoongi's mouth slightly hangs down. "I touched her."

"Go ahead, say it louder so Kookie can hear you." Jin nods sarcastically. "Go, say it!"

"No, stop." Yoongi's cheeks turn red while shaking his head and laughing. "He'll literally launch me out the window with one hand."

"Good."

"You asked for her to sit on your lap too, bro!"

"I was joking, and it's not like she did it anyway!"

"Whatever, I'm keeping my birthday deep in my memory storage."

"Clean slate for her so it should be for you too, my guy." Namjoon says as he has enough of their conversation.

You look at Jungkook who is silently standing there, looking like a big dork with a huge smile on his face and his thumbs up. You give him the tiniest nod before proceeding to follow the PD out.

"So?!" Jungkook dashes to meet you in their waiting room area, where an abnormally large picture of Jimin posing oddly hung up.

"He said he'll send me all the info and papers and stuff!" You respond excitedly as Kook hugs you and quickly swings you around.

"See, I knew it would work out!" He puts you down. "Are you gonna tell Kai?" You shook your head.

"Not today at least, it's his birthday and I don't wanna take away from that. It's his day." Jungkook smiles at you.

"Text me when you've picked him up? I should be home by then."

"Okay." You blush and back away, making Jungkook look at you with confusion. "I have to keep it professional here, duh."

"Ah I see." He chuckles. "That won't last very long."

"Jungkook." You whine.

"There's a lot of private rooms here and—"

"I'm not listening, sorry. I think Kai is suddenly calling me." You cover your ears as you begin to walk away, giving him one last smile before leaving him to the rest of rehearsals and whatever else they're doing. He laughs to himself as he waves you off, excited to get through the day so he can just spend time with you and Kai.

As the hours go on and it's about time for you to pick Kai up, you quickly stop by the store because you're a procrastinator and didn't buy Kai's birthday gift any earlier. You felt bad you weren't able to find the shoes he wanted, but you at least snagged the video game he had been talking about for a couple of days now. Before walking into the arcade, you made sure to write your birthday card and slip some more money into it before shoving it in your bag to give to him later.

"Your pretty sister is here." Yeonjun grabs Kai by the shoulder as he finishes up a game.

"Yeah, and you're too young for her."

"Age is nothing but a number. It's only like.. 6 years apart."

"Besides, she's taken, dude. Sorry." Kai snorts as he watches Yeonjun's smile fade. "You would have never had the chance."

"You're mean."

"I'm mean, or you just have really high, unrealistic expectations?" The rest of their friends laugh as they follow Kai over to you.

"Hey!" You smile at all his friends.

"Hiiiiii Y/N." They all say in unison, some waving in awe, while the others shyly dug their hands into their pockets. "Birthday boy, you all good to go? Got some good Loco Moco waiting for you."

"Yeah, I'm good."

"Happy birthday again, Kai! Get online later!" Soobin yells out.

"Yeah, yeah." He says, waving them off as he follows you out to your car.

"You guys run through the entire arcade?" Kai laughs.

"Pretty much." He sinks into his seat, legs damn near touching the glove compartment with how long he is. "I'm honestly so excited for Loco Moco. It's been years!"

"It has not been that long." You laughed.

"You're right, it's been months." Kai looks out the window. "Wait, you're passing the road to get to our go-to shop though?"

"Cause I found a better place."

"How is there a better place when that one was already supreme?!"

"Hey, trust me on this okay?" You laugh. Kai starts telling you about his day and how so many people he knew from school had been messaging him happy birthday. He truly looked his happiest today and it was all you could ask for. Though at the same time, your heart slightly sank at the fact that he'd be going off to uni soon and staying at the dorms. He was just growing up way too fast, and you wanted to spend as much time as you could with him now before he was too occupied being a college boy.

You slipped yourself past Jungkook's security, parking in the one guest spot they have in the garage that's closest to the elevator. Kai doesn't really question it and hops out anyway, his hands in his pockets as he follows you into the elevator and onto Jungkook's floor.

"You ready, kid?"

"Is this some like, Michelin Star Loco Moco restaurant?"

"Ah, I guess you could say that." You knocked on the door, hearing music playing in the background. Jungkook opens the door and Kai's eyes widen.

"Oh shit, that's Jungkook?" Kook laughs and steps aside to let you both in. "Sis why—what—how come you didn't tell me we were seeing your boyfriend? I look like a mess!" He says lowly.

"You don't!"

"Hey Kai! Happy Birthday!" Jungkook says smiling, making Kai actually blush. He's cheeks are tinted with a rosy color and he suddenly gets all shy.

"Thanks."

"Your brother's tall." Jungkook looks at him up and down.

"Looking at an 18 year old 6 footer."

"Must be nice."

"Go sit." Kai silently nods as he sits awkwardly on Kook's couch, while you go and check in on him in the kitchen.

"Is he always that shy?"

"No. Just with you, apparently. He's not even that shy around girls." You chuckle as he places a quick kiss on your head. "Need my help?" You still ask even though the plates are neatly prepared already.

"Not really." He smiles down at you. "You hungry though?"

"Starving, actually." Your eyes light up at the plates. "Ouuuuuu, yum."

"Honestly, I think this batch might be better than my first."

"Still honored to be your guinea pig." You carry a plate over to Jungkook's coffee table in the living room.

"Oh shit, that looks amazing." Kai says, slipping himself down from the couch to the floor so he could get a good whiff of the plate. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jungkook hands you the remote before walking into his room. "Pick something."

"Here, birthday boy. Help me choose."

"Let's watch Soul on Disney+." At this point, Jungkook comes out of his room with a wrapped present, his eyes locked on the TV.

"Ooh, I keep seeing this everywhere! Niceeeee." Jungkook says, smiling with Kai nodding and already digging into his plate. "By the way, this is for you." You shoot him a look as he sits on the floor by you, watching as Kai unwraps the present. Kai's eyes light up as he sees a shoebox underneath the wrapping, quickly flipping the lid open to reveal those blue Air Jordans he wanted.

"Kook?!" You say lowly, making him smile at you and gently pinch your side.

"Holy shit!" He holds out a shoe, only for him to immediately shake his head and close the box again. "Jungkook, I can't take this." Kai says.

"No, it's your birthday."

"Yeah, but isn't this expensive? You've already done so much for me and my sister, I-I don't want to—"

"Kai, it's cool. If it's one thing you can do to repay me, it's to take my present." You literally want to cry at how sweet Jungkook is being with your brother. He had been good to you, no doubt, but this was one thing you didn't expect from him at all. Quite frankly, you had forgotten you mentioned the shoes to him. The fact that he actually remembered and kept his word.

"Okay." Kai says, gently setting the box down aside before looking at Jungkook with a small smile on his face. "Thank you. I really appreciate it. Like, even with the food and everything. It means a lot to me."

"You're welcome." You give him a soft smile before digging into your food while Soul was already off to a start. Kai and Jungkook devour their food together, with you following shortly behind as Jungkook brings over a small ice cream cake from his fridge for Kai to blow his candles on. After the boys had helped themselves to a good serving of the cake, they started getting hyper and pulled up Smash Bros on Kook's Nintendo Switch [as if Kai hadn't played enough games today]. It started to get intense; the boys jumping and yelling everywhere, bouncing off of the walls, with you getting pulled into the competition every now and then. Even though you knew you'd lost over and over again, you happily joined in anyway, seeing how excited your brother was - plus, it was always a bonus to hear Jungkook's loudly obnoxious, nerdy laugh.

"I WIN!"

"Hey, hey, hey. I let you win because it's your birthday." Jungkook said, making Kai laugh as he crashed to the floor.

"Sure." Kai huffed and puffed. "Crap, I'm tired. What time is it?"

"Almost midnight. We should start heading out, bubba." You patted Kai's chest gently.

"What? No, it's late. Why don't you two just stay here?" You suddenly remembered you've had Kai's shit in your trunk since you dropped him off at Yeonjun's this morning. You didn't have any change of clothes, but that could easily be fixed with Jungkook's closet.

"Only if the queen wants, she's driving."

"It's late, baby." Jungkook says to you softly. "No way I'm letting you two head out there."

"Okay." You give him a small smile before handing your keys. "Can you do me a favor?" He chuckles.

"What is it?"

"Kai's duffle bag is in my trunk." He nods and takes your keys.

"I got it. Kai, you can take the guest room or my office room." Jungkook says with his 3-bedroom apartment having ass. "I have my computer in my office room though, and a pull out bed. I don't know how comfy you'll be."

"It's cool, I'll just take your guest room. I always bring my laptop and switch whenever I sleep at my sister's." Kai says getting up. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jungkook says, toothlessly smiling at the both of you, completely endeared at how alike you two were - even down to the fact that you both said thank you for every little thing. If this was a result of Kai being close to you and having you as pretty much his mother figure, then Jungkook wouldn't know what to do with his feelings. He felt butterflies every time he thought about how cute and sweet you were, and he was always excited to be around you.

Jungkook does a quick jog to your car, grabbing Kai's Nike duffle from your trunk before jogging back to the elevator and back to his apartment. He walks in to see Kai helping you clean up the remaining dishes in the sink, tidying the rest of the things in his kitchen.

"Thank you." Jungkook says himself, a little unfamiliar with saying such a thing to be completely honest.

"You're welcome." You say softly, wiping your hands on his hand towel. "Off to bed, or are you gonna go online with your friends?"

"I'll see what they're up to, but I'm pretty beat. Today was fun." Kai smiles at the both of you. "I really appreciate it." You ruffle his hair a bit before gently pushing him towards his bedroom for the night.

"Bathroom's right over there, help yourself to anything you need."

"Don't stay up too late."

"Only if you aren't too loud." You gasp while Jungkook laughs out loud.

"Kai!"

"Hey, I'm just being honest. Please remember that I'm right in this room."

"Oh my god, go to bed." You shove him inside the room and shut his door. "Don't even say a word." You look at Jungkook shyly as you hurriedly brush past him to get into his room - even though Jungkook is literally right behind you with those long ass legs of his, making every stride so much easier for him to catch up to you.

"What's your outfit of choice tonight, pretty lady?" He shuts his door behind him as you start to make your way into his closet.

"Hm, I'll just wear this plain black--" You unfold it. "Balenciaga? Okay, I definitely can't just wear this to sleep."

"Why not?"

"Because this is like, name brand and everything."

"So?" He shrugs. "Just wear it, babygirl. It's not gonna make much of a difference, you're wearing it either way." You do a slight pout before you start to slip out of your clothes to get into his shirt. You make his way to his bathroom to take a little tinkle when you notice another toothbrush sitting next to his. A pink toothbrush, next to his blue one.

"Why do you have two toothbrushes?" You wash your hands as he comes in to the bathroom to start getting ready for bed.

"That's yours." Your eyes light up at his statement.

"Mine?"

"I figured since you'd be over more, it'd be easier for you." He furrows his brows lightly. "Unless.. you didn't want--" You press a kiss against his lips, his hands resting on your arms to keep you close.

"No, I did want that. Thank you."

"Of course, baby." He pecks your forehead.

"By the way, way to make me look like such a bad sister!" You say as you start getting your toothbrush ready.

"Why? The shoes?"

"The shoes, the Loco Moco, the games, the ice cream cake." You laughed. "I literally got him a video game and some money."

"I mean, he is turning 18. I wanted to help make it as memorable as possible."

"I appreciate you a lot. Really."

"I appreciate you too." Your eyes widen as you brush your teeth.

"Waaaaow, say thaht wun mohr tiyme." You say, pulling a Jungkook while brushing your teeth.

"Eye apprushiate yoh toh." You giggle. The both of you finish getting ready for bed before slipping into his warm sheets. Jungkook never goes to sleep early, however, he makes sure all the lights are off and that the show he's watching isn't too loud. You have no idea what's going on in his show, but you lay on his chest to watch for a little bit until you feel yourself getting a little more sleepy. He's holding you close, his hand brushing through your hair softly, causing tingles to ripple through your body.

"Kook."

"Yes, baby?"

"You make me happy." You say sleepily as you hung him tighter. He smiles down at you, your eyes now shut close as you slowly start to drift into a deep sleep. He presses a light kiss against your head, fingers still in your hair.

"You make me happy too, sweetheart."
