LETS FINALLY TALK ABOUT MY FAV POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW ((aka, me simping for mime bomb for an entire episode)) ((beware))
so starting off, i really enjoy that we see things of carmens past get to her. i love love love it when our heros arent always perfect robots and do go through emotions; including past traumas that get to them
to this day shadowsan shouldve called foul idc idc lol
black sheep doesnt get it the first time, thats fine! she knows that shadowsan is a very skilled thief. but the more she misses the more agitated she becomes until it seems like shes stealing for her life. this is a lovely detail!!
also crackle watching her w a big smile on her face bc ugh shes so cool, theres no way shes gonna fail! right?
she falls and D: but tigress is being a meanie as usual
player knowing whats wrong bc hes a great bestie
ALSO GET THIS CHILD SOME NATURAL SUNLIGHT PLEASE.
i've never personally been to san francisco so learning about the fog was a nice touch! i havent seen any movies or shows go over the fog either!
her charity fit is so slay oh my god
what an expensive stamp
i wish we couldve seen players stamp collection el oh el
devineaux yet again being a Guy, i love him lol what a Dude
SHE FR THREW A RED BOTTOM HEEL AT HIM. MA'AM I WOULDVE TAKEN IT.
julia being smart againUGH shes my WIFE.
MIME BOMB!!! THE MAN OF THE HOUR !!!!!!!!!!
THE WALKING BACKWARDS !!!! HES SO CUTE I JUST WANNA KSJDFKSUBDHSKJLF
julia being correct again.
wh. whwere is mime bomb calling the faculty from????
I think shadowsan continues to send Tigress bc he knows shes gonna fail. to this say i wish they wouldve touched on this.
i also enjoy the detail that dr bellum watches cat videos lol shes a cutie
MIME BOMB SITTING ON NOTHING??????? WALL SITTING ON AIR. THE CORE STRENGTH???????? (sidenote very attractive imo bc im crushing on him)
Brunt: "he aint what youd call the strong silent type." HES WALL SITTING ON AIR. WITHOUT A DROP OF SWEAT, NO MOVEMENT, JUST CHILL. HOW. BRUNT HOW ARE U MISSING UR CLEAREST STRONGEST STUDENT.
i think tigress' day outfit is cute. shes a fashionista.
AND THEN HES READING AN INVISIBLE NEWSPAPER, STILL SITTING ON NOTHING.
Mime Bomb is visual comedic gold. One of the many things I enjoy abt his character and how he steals the show everytime hes on screen. give him more screentime. revive the show for him, pls,.
tigress is a grown woman bringing up old shit. cmon girl.
i also enjoy the differences between how carmen and tigress open the lucky cats. I LOVE CHARACTERS.
ug hes my husband i gotta say more abt him. mime bomb is so smart, hes such a genius lil mime whos a code breaker and a quick thinker. i wish we couldve seen him be more intellectual than the rest of his peers more often. dumping the big obvious cat to not only distract carmen but to get away w the stamp? genius, he deserves a kiss. mwah.
HIS LIL STRUT!!!
"Another street clown, so what?" HES A MIME!!!! U SILLY GOOF!!!!!!
HIS DOUBE LOOK BACK STARE IM. i need him to be real. i need to omg.
miming running away to be tackled pt.2, cmon babe this is a pattern now.
THEY JUST. KIDNAPPED HIM. BAG OVER HIS FACE AND ALL.
'~' (((hes very cute)))
they handcuffed a non-verbal fella. i feel like this is more messed up then i think.
julia being pro-mime. we stan.
now rewatching this, chase straight up SLAMMED our sweet mime into a CONCRETE WALL. i need to fight a frenchman for that very reason.
yet again to mime bomb being smart, PLANTING THE STAMP ON THE SAME PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND IT AND ALSO CARMEN SANDIEGO WHO IS ALSO TRYING TO FIND THE STAMP. OH MY GOD.
his expressions r very cute. mmmmwah
slay tigress being smart!! shes not dumb she just makes some brash decisions!!!!!!!!!!! characters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"what about 'Where did you hide it'? >:( ma'am yall are in PUBLIC. CARMEN DOES THE SAME THING.
for 2 people trying to follow a mime these acme agents are doing a bad job at figuring out what he's doing.
*how episode wouldve ended if they looked a little deeper*
julia: "Inspector, could you check your left, inside pocket?"
chase: "ugh, if it pleases yWHAT-"
and then they wouldve also seen him act this out Very Publicly to a woman that is Not Carmen Sandiego which would help them for future investigations at least
LOOK AT THE DUDE YOURE FOLLOWING PLS
mime bomb didnt even keep the 26 cents tigress gave him lol
((tw: talk about the taking care of witnesses rule)) if tigress can rip up an entire article of clothing without chase even feeling a tug, then i hate to imagine how swift she takes care of witnesses tbh
SHE JUST LIFTED AN ENTIRE MAN OUT OF A CAR WINDOW, N NOT THE ONE CLOSEST TO HIM.
((tw: mention of rule again)) also this victim was a witness. he saw her face. is she gonna come back to him orrr???
chase being a dummy dumb pt. 28374
WHY DID HE JUST LEAVE JULIA THERE????? WHAT AN ASS LMAO
okay but like. so the cleaners werent planned to pick her up given shadowsans reaction. h. how was she going to deliver the stamp?? teleporting????
this kids also is why u dont text and drive
SHE TOOK IT OUT OF HER POCKET TO SHOW THE CLEANERS THAT DEF CANT SEE IT FROM UP THERE. WHAT IF IT WAS WINDY??? CMOOOOIIOOONWKJEFSKHFKJDGSKHFJ
sidenote tigress took a precious stamp out of a little baggy in one fist close without damage to the stamp, well done!
whyyyy does tigresssss put the stamppppp in her hightop boooot ((that could not only fly out easy)) in front of the woman who has been known to be an improving thief and has crashed one of her missions before. she didnt get a dollar bill once. shes mad at that. TIGRESS, IF 2+2=4!!!
mmmm side profiles
i wanna be like "oh tigress why didnt you fight her" but at that point i wouldve gave up too
also the cleaners saw this all happen lmao
also slay devinaux being in actual danger, puts actualy fear and tension into the characters future!
tldr: WOOHOO MIME BOMB!!!!! and chase + tigress are silly geese

I've once again had 6 hours to process everything I saw in season 4 so I'm just gonna say my thoughts on it (hold onto your fedoras again folks)
first off, WE FOUND OUT GRAY'S LAST NAME?? I was so shocked and happy at the same time I love how everyone asked for player's real name and we ended up with gray's surname for some reason shsjsj. NOBODY ASKED FOR THAT BUT THEY DELIVERED ANYWAY
ALSO GRAHAM IS AN ORPHAN?? my precious boy *throws mommy's boy headcanon out the window*
the second episode really had me shipping carmivy they're so cute we got a girl's trip and I'm all for it
I think I may now be a dash haber stan but let's not make a big thing of it
also ivy eating the chocolate in the middle of a mission deserves an honorable mention because of her cute little tongue (I'm weird okay djsjsjs)
zack trying to bond with shadowsan and him having none of it was delightful
that fucking robot god damn bellum really thought of everything didn't she every time I thought it was gone it made a come back I literally said out loud "carmen is so fucked"
I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME GRAY TALKED ABOUT CARMEN I KEPT THINKING HE WAS GONNA SAY "BECAUSE I LOVE HER" IN WHICH CASE I WOULD HAVE DIED AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY
yall have no idea how relieved I was when I found out that photo of julia was her and her (presumably) mother and NOT a boyfriend sjsjsjs
catch me making a headcanon that julia has a single mom because her father disowned her for coming out as gay based on that picture alone 😭
I'M SORRY BUT THE AMOUNT OF FLIRTING BETWEEN CARMEN AND JULES?? PLEASE THEY'RE SECRET GIRLFRIENDS JUST ADMIT YOU CENSORED THEM AND GO
OKAY BUT WHEN THEY WERE IN JULIA'S OFFICE AND CARMEN SAID "WAY TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART JULES" AND SHE WAS LIKE "YOU REMEMBERED" I LOST IT WHAT DID CARMEN REMEMBER JULES?? DID THEY HAVE A CONVERSATION OFF SCREEN? MAYBE I'M JUST A BIG HUGE LESBIAN BUT THAT'S A BIT GAY LADIES
carmen getting all worried when julia wasn't answering her phone was the blessed gay content I signed up for PLEASE THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER SO MUCH
never thought I'd say this but I loved devineaux this season he was funny, he improved his treatment towards julia (I don't recall him officially apologising I must have missed something djsjsjs)
the only thing I didn't like was it kinda seemed like they were trying to hint that chase and jules were into each other and I didn't really vibe with that
all that shit with dr bellum and the crown for cleo really had me thinking cleobellum was gonna be canon what a clown I am (seriously tho the way she lost it when the crown got stolen GIVE IT BACK IT BELONGS TO HER WIFE)
look all I'm saying is: tigress new outfit in the egypt episode was hot
HER FACE AT THE END AFTER SHE GOT TRAPPED WITH ALL THOSE BUGS
I wish julia and gray could have met there's so much friendship potential there 😭
is player... is he a bit 💅 I SEE THAT PRIDE STICKER ON YOUR LAPTOP YOUNG MAN YOU'RE NOT SUBTLE
ngl I nearly teared up when player finally met carmen in person
I'M SORRY BUT JULIA'S BLUSH IN EPISODE 7 PLEASE SHE'S SO SMITTEN WITH CARMEN IT'S BRILLIANT
EVIL CARMEN WAS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE I WAS SO SCARED SHE'D BE STUCK LIKE THAT FOREVER
I mentioned this in another post but when julia was like "don't you remember me? I'm your girlfriend friend, jules" I NEARLY FUCKING CRIED THEY WERE GETTING KINDA CLOSE AND THEN CARMEN GOT MIND WIPED
JULIA TOPS JULIA TOPS I SAID IT ALL ALONG AND IT'S TRUE SHE REALLY PINNED VILE CARMEN THAT'S TOP BEHAVIOR (also this now makes carmen a bottom I don't make the rules)
kinda shocked that paper star was hardly here I don't stan her so it didn't bother me much but still it was just strange they didn't use her this season
when shadowsan whipped out the last doll and carmen had all those flashbacks to when she was at vile I nearly started crying AGAIN
I LEGIT THOUGHT CARMEN HAD KILLED GRAY DJSJSJS AN ELECTRICIAN GETTING ELECTROCUTED THAT'S SOME IRONY RIGHT THERE
gray really confused me towards the end he kept switching sides every five minutes for the whole season I wasn't sure whether to trust him half the time dhshsjs
THE LOOK ON CARMEN'S FACE WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE'D KILLED GRAY WAS SO HEARTBREAKING AND THEN SHE STARTED CRYING OH MY GOD I'M SORRY BABY
the way she's always been against hurting people/taking lives and then she ended up hurting all the people she loves (she nearly killed zack for god sake) really hit me hard
gray's ending was... kinda weird I understood the parallel of him not wanting to complicate carmen's life like she said about him in season 2 but it was still kinda strange that they didn't have one more conversation or get any closure
I'm obviously kinda upset that carulia wasn't canon they had so much potential imo and the show isn't about romance anyway BUT I'm happy with the content we got and THEY FLIRTED SO MUCH THEY'RE CANON IN MY HEART
THE TEAM RED GROUP HUG KILLED ME IT WAS SO CUTE
kinda annoyed that carmen just straight up left zack and ivy she really just left a note and said YEET
ivy's voice crack when she read the note got me all choked up
ngl I'm still not entirely sure how it ended I had to rewatch it a few times to understand what they were trying to imply sjsjsj
would have loved to know carmen's given name but at the same time she's literally THE carmen sandiego that's who she is, it would be silly to go by a name that she doesn't connect with just because her parents gave her it
her mom being a regular citizen was kinda bittersweet I mean a plot twist would have been good but at the same time it would make the story even more complicated
*dreams of a spinoff movie where we get better closure on everything*
ACME IVY ACME IVY I'M NOT AN IVY STAN BUT DAMN IF I AIN'T SIMPING FOR ACME IVY
I know carmen didn't want revenge but I feel like chief got let off with killing her father way too quickly if I'm honest sjsjsj
JULIA BEING IN CHARGE OF FINDING CARMEN'S MOM OH MY GOSH
I feel so bad for laughing when julia got knocked out the way the cloth fell on her head sent me but when the pole hit her head I was like "OKAY I TAKE IT BACK THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE"
was not expecting julia to physically fight anyone I mean she's always been so calm and collected and then this season she was like fuck it might as well hit a few people before we finish forever
wishing carmen and jules could have hugged or had a scene together where they talked about stockholm but I won't complain it wouldn't have really made sense anyway considering they were cool with each other at the university
so glad the trailer was misleading about the coach brunt situation I really didn't want her to get a last minute redemption
another honorable mention: cleo snapping at julia "DON'T YOU DARE IMPLY THAT I AM COMMON" sent me djdjs she was just stood there like "I am but a humble history lesbian leave me be"
I think that's everything I'll probably add to it later if I think of anything or I might make a part 2 djsjsjs (I've been writing this for almost an hour now 😭)
overall I enjoyed it from start to finish. I haven't really cried about it ending yet I'm still processing everything but I'll probably have a little sob when it finally hits me djsjsjs
CARULIA NATION WE BASICALLY WON NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I REWATCH ALL THEIR SCENES TOGETHER AND MAKE IT MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY

I am attempting to right a fic
So I am re-reading ACOWAR and am at the part where Nesta and Elaine go visit Graysen to try and get him to help the humans or something like that and Nesta is beating up Graysen for hurting Elaine. 
So my mind wanders and goes... what if Cassian was there to see this? and then.... what if Cassian saw this from his POINT OF VIEW!!!!!!! So I’m like let me write this, 
I have never wrote fan fiction besides some Lunar chronicles shit on Wattpad and Lesbian smut (don’t ask, it helped with my sexuality tho) SO please don’t come at me if you hate this 
I just really wanted this from Cassian's perspective, like watching Nesta be a bad bitch instead of a rude bitch ya kno? Idk but here yall go 
I apologize in advance if this is shitty ( it probably will be, please don’t hate I love u guys) and will probably never right a fic again but ok enough talking here ya go
Im gonna be taking parts of ACOWAR and typing them in so it looks believable 
**we’re gonna imagine that Cassian went with them for this to work okay**
-------------------
“So only the rich and chosen will walk through the gates?” Rhys asked, arching a brow. “I can’t imagine the aristocracy being content to work your land and fish in your lake or butcher your meat.”
This meeting was going nowhere, thought Cassian as Rhysand argued with the close-minded human boy. The fact this pitiful man thinks his mere father and some iron were going to protect him and the human lands from Hybern’s wrath was stupid, laughable even.
How he was able to land a Archeron’s sister was beyond what Cassian could think of. For once, he would agree with Nesta on the idea of this marriage. 
“We have plenty of workers here to do that.”  so the little boy speaks. Cassian wanted to retort, he wanted to desperately put this pathetic weasle of a man in his place but bit his tongue. This was not his fight, this was Elaine’s and at the moment Rhysands. He would not intervene. 
Because if he did intervene this whole place would come crumbling down and weasel boy and his father would be crying in their underwear. 
But Jurian said to the lords, “I fought beside your ancestor. And he would be ashamed if you locked out those who needed it. You would spit on his grave to do so. I hold a position of trust with Hybern. One word from me, and I will make sure his legion takes a visit here. To you.” 
“You’ll threaten to bring the very enemy you seek to protect us from?” Weasle boy said. 
 Jurian shrugged. “I can also convince Hybern to steer clear. He trusts me that much. You let in those people … I will do my best to keep his armies far away.” 
He gave Rhys a look, daring him to doubt it.
 We were still too stunned to even try to look neutral.
Cassian wondered if the elder lord might be the one who could actually be reasoned with. Especially as Graysen said to Elain, “Take that ring off.”
 Elain’s fingers curved into a fist. “No.” Ugly. This was about to get ugly in the worst way— 
“Take. It. Off.”
How humiliating, Cassian thought, to Elaine for everyone to witness this absurd man. If only he could reach around, grab weasel man by the neck, pin him against the wall and shove two of his knives into each of his balls-
That’s enough,” Rhys said, his voice lethally calm. “The lady keeps the ring, if she wants it. Though none of us will be particularly sad to see it go. Females tend to prefer gold or silver to iron.”
Graysen leveled a seething look at Rhysand. “Is this the start of it? You Fae males will come to take our women? Are your own not fuckable enough?” 
That was the last of it that Cassian was willing to endure. Was this man stupid? He should not be alive at this very second. He should be drowned in crimson and tears. 
“Watch your tongue, boy,” his father said. At Least he had some sense to shut his son up. Elain turned white at the coarse language.
Graysen only said to her, “I am not marrying you. Our engagement is over. I will take whatever people occupy your lands. But not you. Never you.”
Fucking bastard. To even speak to a women like this, to even dare 
He was going to rip out his throat 
Tears began sliding down Elain’s face, their scent filling the room with salt.
 Nesta stepped forward. Then another step. And another. 
Cassian watched her every move, every breath and the anger etched across her brow. He could do nothing but stare at her movements 
He could do nothing but stare at Nesta
Until she was in front of Graysen, faster than anyone could see. 
He watched her dress swish against her curves, he watched her fingers 
Until Nesta smacked him hard enough that his head snapped to the side.
He made a sharp intake of his breath. He had only ever seen her mad, furious, bitching to him or any other male. Never, never had he seen her so calm and burning towards someone else.
To him, she was snarky and he snarked back
To this man, she was calm and collected as her eyes burned into his face. Cassian would have never wanted to be on the receiving end of that look. 
She was devastating. 
 “You never deserved her,” Nesta snarled into the stunned silence as Graysen cupped his face and swore, bending over. Nesta only looked back at me. Rage, unfiltered and burning, roiled in her eyes. But her voice was stone-cold as she said to me, “I assume we’re done here.”
The power uttered in those words. The power in her
All Cassian could do was watch her. Watch her defend her sister to no end, watch as the poor boy looked into her eyes with fear. 
 Feyre gave her a wordless nod. And proud as any queen, Nesta took Elain’s arm and led her from the guardhouse. Mor trailed behind, guarding their backs as they entered the veritable field of weapons and snarling hounds waiting outside 
He enjoyed watching someone else take in the brunt of Nesta’s words and actions. It was entertaining to him to watch another male be weakened by her. He could get used to seeing that quite often. 
Nesta, Nesta, Nesta 
He couldn’t help laughing to himself.
She looked so beautiful when she was angry, he admitted to a small part of himself.
Gods, this women. 
-----
OKAY i know that was probably so bad but I tried? idk tell me what ya’ll thinkkkk i just really wanted this written somewere but admittidly it sounded better in my head haha 
I am just craving so much Nessian stuff at this moment like I am going to BURST where is this book.

SPN 4X19 Jump the Shark

AWW HUNTER'S FUNERAL
"Adam's in a better place" :(
Dean tried to fit himself into the Dad box, Sam's actually him
"you take it any way you want" oh for FUC- HE- I-
he looked so Sad, so like...he's stopped idolizing him
jesus christ.
boy there's gonna be overlap ok here we go.
1. poor dean. Ok couple things: 1) he elder sibling'ed it SO HARd! he didn't even like Adam, but he still tried to keep him safe(I think). he gave him a hunter's funeral! I just. It was nice to see. It was also INCREDIBLY painful to hear the realization of "you were always like dad, I never could be" and the fact that he didn't even see it as a good thing anymore? fUCK man, that huRT me. Dean tried so hard to be something he wasn't, he got probably the brunt of the abuse(because he didn't measure up to that metric like Sam always would), and in the end all it got him was...just. so much pain. Like it felt like John left his Broken children behind to get a new one, and just turned them into his quest for revenge. It was SO So fucked
Hey actually speaking of
2. AM I SUPPOSED TO LIKE BEING A HUNTER/JOHN? WHAT HTE FUCK?
YALL ALREADY MARTYRED HIM BUT UR MAKING HIM WORSE?
LIKE ok listen. John's kinda set up as the ideal of hunting. They martyred him! And I was halfway sold provided they didn't mention him again. Then! he did this thing where he abandoned his kids, seeing them only as tools to fulfill his quest for revenge, literally broke them(that too late thing+zachariah saying "it's in your blood" when really it was just trained from a young age), got a NEW family he treated a lot better. I just. I have...NO idea how I'm supposed to see him as a good guy here. Maybe I just kin Dean, or his plight is WAY more sympathetic(it is, Sam is kinda pissing me off), but John's just...coming off worse and worse and they KEEP doing it!
Also! this whole cycle of revenge thing! about how if you keep taking an eye for an eye, everyone ends up blind! they barely escaped this time, and I think this was the second revenge plot that I can think of with MONSTERS alone! it was a BIG theme! Like!! hunting sucks! revenge makes you end up in worse places! it's like this one episode was made to show how SHIT hunting was!
wait who wrote this
Dabb+lofflin. The hunting sucks always comes from-
this GODDAMN INCONSISTE-
3. Fuck John Winchester
4. Individualism. Ok this is a big one. Alongside the whole revenge plot thing(which is BIG, and a hunting sucks), this one drove home the sheer individuality of hunting. But while some of the writers see that as Badass, this one made it seem lonely, and painful. Like the flip side to American Individualism is American Chronic Loneliness. I know this one was used to process the ennui of the post recession/post 9/11 time, and it's doing very well for that, but it kinda ends up like this show is EVERYONE'S therapy all at once! the gang's all here! and we're gonna traumatize you in the process as well.
EDIT: and yeah yeah yada yada american individualism is King and then so is it’s accompanying loneliness in the post 9/11 post war in iraq post recession world(we were not having fun in 08/09)
and I get that this show is the writer’s therapy and whatever
(I just thing this is phrased better)
5. bring him back. Connect! Look. I know it breaks the core ethos of this episode. But having Weird Esoteric Hunter siblings would have been SO FUNNY!
give me more sibling content! Sam+Adam teaming up against the Eldest Sibling Dean WAS SO FUNNY! I WANT MORE OF THAT
6. SAM WHAT THE FU-. Look. I hate John. I very much hate John. They set up the Sam/Dean dichotomy in regards to John first episode, and Sam acting more like an ass+like his dad is. Not making me like him. Also I feel like this was written to sympathize with Dean. Which makes the finale even more ironic, I feel.
7. Listen. Listen. One of you has to keep track of continuity. Like I know this becomes a WAY bigger problem later in the series, but if a certain writer wants to process/examine a certain part of the Life/Story(and they should, they set up a lot of interesting stuff), they have to keep track! Because then the show becomes everything all at once.
Like this show has ALREADY started feeling like fanfic of itself, where it just kinda does whatever it wants with its own concepts. And the concepts are GREAT! but you can TELL how inconsistent it is, even in the kripke era
like it ends up being Study of X, Riff on X! and I think that's where the inconsistency comes from. It's also why it's so fucking Excellent in places.
whelp this was a lot holy hell.
OH AND ONE MORE THING!
Bela didn't fit the narrative. That's why they didn't like her. I said at the beginning that an Int'l art thief does NOT fit the vibe of "grungy Angsty American Midwestern gothic" and I was right. With the lucifer story and the vibe she didn't fit, and so they just killed her as foreshadowing, and only used her like that. God I wish they'd riffed on her, especially because her callouts were all completely correct
we're Bela Salting again
listen she was preppy Jack Sparrow with some spiritualism, how dare you tell me not to like her.

klaus & diego tickle headcanons
oKAY my inbox is exclusively requests for klaus and diego headcanons so like,, i’m gonna do some for each of them (both ler and lee!!! we luv!!!)  🥰  UGH they’re my faves so i’m so excited to do this big ol post khfdsjb
Tumblr media
lee!klaus:
he’s a VERY ticklish lil bean
not the most ticklish in the family (we’ll get there ;)) but he’s def up there
he won like 50% of family tickle fights??? bc he likes tickles, he can hold out wayyy longer than some of the others
cutest lil high pitched giggles (think s2e7 17:43-ish ok?? like so precious)
flails like a fish out of water fr fr
worst spots are his armpits and his HIPS wow
i headcanon that when he was in vietnam, while they were kissin probably,, dave touched his hips and he sorta just melted into a giggle puddle uwu
his scrawny ass makes it ,,, so tempting to just grab em yk??
he’s like,, feather ticklish! like he honestly might be more sensitive to light tickles than hard ones???
his body just kinda,,, twists and contorts in some really silly ways when he gets tickled?? like he has rly,, interesting reactions that usually make his ler laugh about as much as him
the SQUEALS and just,, completely authentic laughter?? precious
ler!klaus:
a RUTHLESS ler,, him and allison typically team up on the others (especially diego dhjfsb)
he’s def the kind to act super nonchalant like,,, “oh? what’s so funny?” “hey! that’s rude, this is a brand new shirt! i don’t think it’s that bad.” “hey now, i’m trying to talk to you but you keep on laughing over me!” hkdjgfb
his fingers??? move so??? quickly??? and he’s v precise??
just kinda seems to know everyone’s weak spots
he’s also a touchy drunk so like ,, drunk!klaus is the tickle monster fr
def baby talks five and he HATES it
initiates tickle fights a lot!!!! he just loves to mess w his siblings lmao and he sees tickling as a really good bonding time!!!
he’s the one who found out that luther was ticklish when he tucked his feet under luther’s leg on the couch once ,, and he never let him live that down 
lee!diego:
i cANNOT STRESS TO YALL ENOUGH HOW UNBEARABLY TICKLISH THIS MAN IS

Title: Drunk Rice
Summary: Just a soft fic of Drunk! Risotto being touchy with his family friends.
(reposted this for all the pipz out there who spent their Valentines with friends and family. Happy Valentine’s Day yall🌹👌😂😘)
Music blared from the sound system as the club lights cast their blinding rays across the dancing bodies on the dancefloor. Formaggio and Pesci could be seen dancing, awkwardly in the case of the latter, from the table that the rest of the gang had occupied. Their group had just come from the hospital after paying their friend a visit from the ICU.
Gelato had only sustained minor injuries from the car crash, a few cuts and bruises here and there. Sorbet who had been behind the wheel had taken the brunt of the accident, sustained head trauma and a few broken bones.
Melone had insisted to go to the high end clubs (his treat) to loosen up after being assured by the doctors that their friends were in stable condition and are expected to have a full recovery.
News of the accident had rattled everyone but all of them knew who was distressed by the news the most.
“R’mber when you got fucked up by a train?”
Prosciutto sighed putting his drink down as he bore Risotto’s almost two hundred pound weight around his shoulders. Melone and Illuso snickered from across their round table as they captured the rare moment of Risotto, the serious and composed head recognized by the gang, inebriated and slurring; his speech less refined after too much of the expensive stuff Melone had ordered for them.
“I don’t think anyone would forget their near-death experience, Risotto.”
“That messed me*hic* messed me up so bad Pros,” Risotto cut in. He slammed his hand on the table jolting the empty bottles on top as well as the nearby patrons around their table.
“Why fuck were you even *hic* on the tracks? Don’t ya know tha’s dangerous?”
Prosciutto looked absolutely miserable which had Melone snorting a laugh. Illuso wasn’t doing any better, already doubled over and pounding the table with his fist. Prosciutto struggled to support Risotto’s upper body as the latter recounted the events that had almost gotten his friend killed as a child while making uncoordinated gestures with his hand.
“Always*hic* aaaaaalways tellin’ you guys*hic* t’be careful. ‘very year summun’ ends up *hic* in the fucking hospital…” Risotto shook his head removing his arm from Prosciutto’s shoulders, to the blonde’s relief, to pour himself another round. The amber liquid spilled on the side of his glass as he did, his motor skills not quite catching up with his intoxicated brain.
“Drink another round and you’ll be next.” Prosciutto chided before snapping his fingers at a passing cocktail waitress and ordering some water. He winced at the strain he had to endure on his shoulders as he stretched them to relieve the tension. His eyes signaled for Illuso to distance the alcohol from Risotto’s reach which meant collecting them all to one far-off side where Risotto’s long arms can’t reach. “That’s your last shot for tonight now drink your water and sober up a little. I’m not going to be one who’s going to haul your huge ass out of this club again if you don’t.”
Risotto laughed, the dimples on his cheek deepening the more he grinned, “You’d make *hic* a great nurse Pros.”
Prosciutto rolled his eyes “I am a nurse, Risotto. We work in the same hospital ah ah…!” Prosciutto stopped the burly arm that reached towards the collection of alcohol on Illuso’s side and slid a glass of water in front of the pouting mass of muscle.  
“Look at his face!” Illuso all but wheezed at the face Risotto was making, lip jutting out and red eyes sulking as he took a sip from the glass of water. Melone casted his eyes towards Ghiacco who had been slowly inching away from Risotto for the past few hours as he made his descent into intoxication.
“Well aren’t we silent today eh Ghiacco?”
Ghiacco’s eyes shot towards Melone dangerously, mouthing “Fuck.off.” at his grinning friend. He stiffened and muttered a curse when he felt the heavy weight of Risotto’s arm around his shoulder followed by the undeniable stench of alcohol.
“Ghiacco~”
Ghiacco chanced a cautious look at the direction of the drawl and was met with mirthful red eyes.
Fuck that’s unsettling. Ghiacco thinks he might never accept a grinning Risotto as something natural.
“Why’rnt ya drinking?”
“Leave him alone Risotto. You know he’s allergic to alcohol.”
The look on Risotto’s face can only be registered as surprise as he passionately expressed his disbelief and distress at the fact that his friend cannot properly enjoy any sort of alcoholic drink.
“Hey hey what’s happenin he-Hooooly shit!” Formaggio laughed when he caught sight of Risotto’s drunken state.  “Is Risotto drunk? Already?”
“What does it look like?” Prosciutto grumbled as Formaggio and Pesci took their seats around the table while Melone started to arrange drinks for them.
“Your kid is weak Pros. I had the ladies all round up for him and he still managed to bore them away.”  
“B-but I did as you told me and struck a conversation.”
“You think chicks would be into the logistics of fishing with lures vs. fishing nets?”
“I-it’s the only thing I could think about…” Pesci trailed off forlornly, disappointed at having his efforts fail even with the help of his fratello.
“We’ll have to work with your conversation skills. Get yourself a drink and maybe you’ll act less like a mamoni with some alcohol in your system.” Prosciutto scolded. What was he gonna do with this kid?
From beside him he watched Risotto continue to harass Ghiacco, the latter looking like he wanted to be anywhere else but beside the older man beside him. He scoffed, “Yes suffer as I did” he thought.
“I r’mbered when I first met’ya*hic*. Arrogant lil’ shit wasn’t he Pros?” Ghiacco winced knowing the memory too well. Risotto laughed through his nose remembering something, “But not as*hic* not as arrogant as ‘luso the day I met ‘im tha’s for sure.”
“Hey!”
A round of laughter resounded around the table. Risotto’s eyes become serious as he trained them on Ghiacco.
“You’re alright now though, aren’t you Ghiac?”  
“Yeah.”
“You can always talk to me. You know that right, fratello?”
“Tsk I know that.” Ghiacco’s tone was haughty but didn’t faze Risotto, “Life’s been less shitty so I don’t have anything to tell you.”
“Hmm tha’s good.”
Prosciutto’s lips twitched as he watched the resident hothead and the youngest of the group nod awkwardly at Risotto’s drunken mini-tirades. Prosciutto came to realize that this band of troublemakers had the common denominator of meeting Risotto first before coming together. Each had their own stories to tell, most of them not good like Ghiacco’s, but they had each other growing up which helped them in a way to not be consumed by the troubles of their past. They were all indebted to each other in some way and as Prosciutto sloshed his drink around his glass eyeing the people around his table, he couldn’t help but admit how grateful he was to be friends with this particular group of idiots.
He was pulled from his thoughts at the sound of glass shattering and he cursed at Risotto who apparently was not able to control the force of him “tapping” a wineglass with a spoon. He was unapologetic, muttering a half-meant “oops” as he put down the remains of the shattered glass on the table.
“I have something to say.” All attention was focused on Risotto. His voice had sobered considerably which meant he was about to drop some serious talk. After a while, his red eyes regarded the people surrounding the table.
“You know I love you guys right? I mean to me,” he gestured to all of them in an awkward wave, “you are all family. And family is important to me so please please take better care of yourselves. What happened last week should be the last time I see a brother wheeled into the ER covered in their own blood.”
Risotto listened to their sounds of agreement with Formaggio and Illuso drawing out “sooorry Risottoooo~” in the background. Risotto nodded, satisfied with their response.
“Siamo una famiglia, si?”
A collection of yeahs sounded from around the table. Melone raised his glass for a toast dedicating it to their years of friendship and the years to come. Each grabbed their own with Prosciutto slipping Risotto’s glass of water towards his wandering hand when it went too close to a shot glass. The others followed suit with loud exclamations of salud around the table. Prosciutto stopped mid-sip when he heard sniffles beside him.
“Jesus, Risotto…” He watched Risotto wipe his tears with his handkerchief, his eyes down casted but his lips smiling. The next thing he knew, Risotto was reaching towards him with his arm pulling the smaller man in a tight hug.   
“Ti voglio bene fratello.” Prosciutto clicked his tongue but returned the embrace anyway patting Risotto’s broad back as he mumbled small messages of thanks against his shoulder. His strained voice told Risotto to let up on his grip before he suffocates and the larger man released his hold around him but not before leaving a kiss on Prosciutto’s forehead. He then faced a wide-eyed Ghiacco, his intention the same but his messages considerably longer consisting of words of advice telling him to be less angry and how he will always see him as a baby brother.
“What the fuck, who’re you calling a baby brother. I’m a fucking grown ass man…” Ghiacco mumbled in his seat hiding the redness of his cheeks with his glass as he took a sip of his drink and rubbed the kissed spot on his cheek. It was clear that it was Risotto’s plan to embrace everyone when he got up from his seat and slowly walked his away around to the other side of the table. Illuso, not one for hugs, cursed and was ready to bolt from his spot but was held down by Formaggio and Melone.
“Let him.” Prosciutto sighed waving his hand exasperatedly, “Just…let him.”
 Risotto was a force to be reckoned with when he’s drunk and touchy, any attempts to deter him from hugging someone would be futile. He simply won’t stop until he has managed to wrap his arms around his target and say what needs to be said.  
“Now now, Illuso. Rice hugs are rare so you gotta enjoy this once in a lifetime treat.” Melone laughed.
“Yeah, ladies and gentlemen would kill each other for one of these. You’re lucky to get one for free.” Formaggio laughed alongside Melone as they held down their struggling friend.
Risotto managed to finish his personal mission of showering his friends with acts of affection with a little difficulty from Illuso as he was nearly the same size as him. Formaggio and Melone, he had no trouble with; the both of them meeting his embrace with open arms while muttering their own words against each other’s shoulders. Last was Pesci who he whispered a secret about Prosciutto caring for him more than he let on and that he shouldn’t let his harsh words get to him because he only wanted him to be the best that he could be. By the end of the hug, Pesci was tearing up on his own which caused Prosciutto to scold him again for being soft.
Boy’s night didn’t end until four am in the morning as all of them had no other plans or work scheduled for that day. Risotto as well as several others ended up being wasted after Formaggio funded another two rounds of the bar’s stronger selections. Prosciutto was all hissy about it of course cursing more than Ghiacco throughout the whole ordeal of chucking full grown men into the seats of his and Ghiacco’s car while threatening anyone who would dare ruin his car’s interior. Ghiacco was surprisingly silent throughout the process thinking that the blonde was cursing enough in two languages for the both of them. All had made it home safe that morning, each suffering through the effects of last night on their own by the time they woke up.

headcanon. kny au breath style - breath of the bear
I just wanted to have some fun and thought of different forms for cecil’s kny au breathing style, breath of the bear
I don’t really wanna go crazy here, gonna make it so that there’s five forms but i’ll add more later if I think of them. 
Also keep in mind, I do say Cecil’s attacks are slow a lot here but infact they are decently fast to the normal person/demon. Most new demon slayers will remark Cecil as fast while higher ranking slayers remark that they’re slow. It’s a matter of perspective. They could be faster, and it’s obvious they have room to improve if they maybe didn’t have such a heavy weapon to weigh them down - but they refuse to give it up. Look here for Cecil’s appearance in this verse and understand what i mean by huge weapon.
First Form: Jaws of the bear.
Did yall know that grizzly bears  bite strength is 8,000,000 pascals, which is strong enough to crush a bowling ball??? wild.
Anyways this attack involves basic slashing movements, but keep in mind that Cecil’s sword is very big and very heavy, so each time this attack lands a hit it’s doing a massive amount of damage. The most Cecil can keep up this attack for is about 5 swings, maybe 6 if they’re really pushing it but they do downwards than upwards swings in rapid succession. making it seem like something is actually trying to eat at the enemy in a chewing motion. 
It’s arguably Cecil’s fastest attack but also takes a lot out of them stamina wise considering how difficult it is for them to swing their own sword. 
Second Form: Eyes of the bear.
This attack comes in two parts - eye contact and then an attack. 
This move isn’t as effect as Cecil hides one of their eyes - but eye contact with a bear is supposedly threatening posture for bears. So locking eyes with Cecil while they’re in this breath form is dangerous. They can pretty much momentarily paralyze / scare stiff an enemy long enough to pull off a heavy attack with their blade. 
But the effect is still in place even if Cecil has the walk closer to attack - note that I say walk. Moving too fast could case them to break eye contact and that’s the last thing they want. The attack is normally an upwards slash, so they can move their hands and sword into position without their arms possibly cutting off eye contact and their swinging their sword upwards. 
Third Form: Claw of the bear.
This attack is similar to Jaw of the bear but can be done much easier because it’s a slower attack. It’s only three quick slashes of Cecil’s sword, sometimes even done in a zig-zag pattern to make it easier for them to preform it.
Because it’s slower, it’s actually a lot stronger. It’s probably their second strongest attack, right below the fourth form. 
Fourth Form: Weight of the Land.
Reminder again!!! that Cecil’s weapon is massive and heavy!!!
This attack involves Cecil jumping up and stabbing their sword into the ground, causing a tremor and to crack the earth around them, kicking up dust, knocking over trees, etc. This could also be stabbed into an enemy if they need to be pinned down, as Cecil can’t move for a good few moments after using this attack as they put their own weight into it as well. 
This move is either used as suggested above for pinning down a large enemy or something like manipulating the environment to their advantage. Kicking up dust to hide from the enemy (after all they won’t know they can’t move for a bit after using the move), knocking down trees to block a path, etc. 
Fifth Form: Hibernation.
This form is similar to Giyuu’s Lull ability in the case that the user becomes completely still and is able to withstand certain attacks. However there’s a key difference between hibernation and lull - and it’s the fact that Cecil is asleep for this form, they can’t use it consciously.
Hibernation is a way to force themselves into an unconscious state and in doing so their body hardens, they’re able to take the brunt of more attacks as well as handle more weight on their body. This is pretty much the embodiment of an ‘immovable object’ - Cecil’s defense becomes tighter than anything and they can handle almost any attack thrown at them. Because of their amount of fights they’ve been in with demons and their rank, it’s assumed that only a lower or upper moon could possibly break Cecil’s hibernation. 
Like how Lull can be broken when the speed of attacks reaches a certain point - hibernation can be broken under two conditions. One if the weight of an attack is above a certain point, aka the strength behind the attack. Two, if Cecil wakes up. 
However because of this ability as a whole, it’s extremely difficult to get them out of the hibernation form aka wake them up. They can wake up naturally but it won’t happen for hours, sometimes even days, after the form is first triggered. Normally food is a good way to wake them up, but as mentioned above enough strength behind an attack could shake them out of it - so it is possible for an enemy to force Cecil out of hibernation by attacking them with an extreme amount of strength.

lets get it
-----------------------------
Tumblr media
-----------------------------------------
N City High, one of the most respectable schools in all of Seoul, was adorned in the middle of the bustling city. With daughters and sons of millionaires attending the pristine, three story building, all eyes from every social media outlet were focused on the high school. The most brilliant and athletic prodigies were born from this school, some people even being scouted for colleges before eleventh grade. To attend this school meant your future was secured. Everyone was rich and fell on different ends of the spectrum. Either people cared way too much or didn’t give a shit. Of course, why worry during in school when you’ll inherit your father’s business?
Unlike your counterparts, you cared about the mark you would leave upon the school. Perhaps you cared a bit too much. A bit detrimental to your health even. Your grades were spectacular, a child genius. However, with one blessing means one affliction.
You were dirt poor.
Yes, you were the poor kid at school and were the highlight of whispers. Tattered uniform and scuffed shoes screamed that you weren’t wealthy. People didn’t outwardly mock you but boy, did they stare. You could guess that you weren’t going to inherit your father’s business due to the fact that there was no business.
The principal noticed this with the unpaid bills and your parents rejecting each call from the security. He didn’t think you would become a problem child but as you didn’t turn in any checks to the front office, he become a bit troubled. With a bit of of devising, he formulated a plan to be replenished from all the missing dollars.
One rainy afternoon, a messenger knocked on the doorframe of your boisterous classroom, everyone watching as she handed the note to your teacher.
“(Y/N)! Main office, please.” Your teacher commanded without a second though, returning to play games on his laptop.
Dragging yourself up from your seat and making your way down to the front office, your mind scrambled for anything that could’ve happened. If they tell you one more time that you haven’t been paying the tuition, you were going to be pissed. It wasn’t news that you were struggling with tuition but the staff needed to bring that up to your parents, not yourself, a child. Hopefully they wouldn’t punish you like last time when they locked up your grades from being viewed and you had no clue as to what your grade was in each class. That would truly fuck up both your parents and yourself.
Plastering a fake smile on your face, you buzzed the front office to let your principal know you were waiting. A click sounds and the huge, wooden doors swing open.
“Hi, Mr. Kim.” You say sweetly, taking the seat with the least amount of rips from aggravated students beforehand. “What can I do for you?”
“Hello, (y/n)! I’m so glad you could come down right away. Let’s get straight down to business. Your tuition—“
Here we go.
Ears burning red, you glare into his eyes and reply in a snobby voice, “I cannot do anything about the tuition. I am a child who does not pay the bill. Please email or call my parents.” You’ve been preparing this response since you were called to the voice.
He returns the scowl with the same icy tone as yours. “Well, maybe if your parents would pick up the damn phone for once. Then, maybe we wouldn’t be having this conversation?”
Your hands gripped onto the chair handles tightly, knuckles turning white. How dare he offend your parents? This was escalating rapidly and you weren’t sure if you were going to leave the room still attending N City High.
“So what’s the point in requesting my presence? To mock me?” You bite back. There was no way you were going down without a fight. You’re not all bark.
His expression softens and he places a hand on his table, trying to give himself a calmer appearance. Having been in here so many times, by the furrow of his eyebrows showed his true emotions. He was furious.
“I have a compromise. We want to raise more school spirit and want a bigger crowd showing up at sporting events. The committee and I thought the best option would be a mascot. We would take off a large chunk of your tuition if you would accept this offer.”
Was he a fool? Sacrifice your integrity for a few dollars off of your tuition? Naive and stupid was this man. On the other hand, a few dollars off would make a grand difference to your family. Maybe your parents wouldn’t have to work overtime so often…
“How much is ‘a large chunk’?” If you play your cards right, you might be able to bargain off a larger amount. It was a dangerous game but a risk worth taking.
He rubs the back of his neck, not expecting this question. A pauses for a second then resumes, “All of it.”
Sacrificing your integrity was worth it.
Thus, you became the mascot for the school. Practice wasn’t surprisingly difficult. Working with the gymnastics coach soon got you to be pretty flexible and cheerful, even without showing your face to the crowd.
The mascot was an ugly, green monster looking-parrot. Being the first ever mascot of N City High meant it had only been used by you and you only, but it got disgusting real fast. Inside of the costume felt like it was a desert and you wouldn’t dare to take off the head during a game so instead you suffered immensely. From all the games built up, it soon smelled like sweat and a bad perfume you tried to use to mask the musk. Dreadful was the most appropriate word to describe your feelings but it was all to help your parents in the end.
Not exactly a perfect high school fairytale, huh? With grades and an abundant amount of time dedicated to cheering at sporting events, life became a drag and tiresome.
High school would be hell if it weren’t for Seo Johnny, a sweet, brown-eyed boy who was about as tall as a cyclops. He was the only thing you enjoyed about the hellhole. If he didn’t talk to you that day on a dare, who knows where either of you would be?
One afternoon during break during ninth year, a boy walked over to you and slammed a chocolate milk on your desk. Dazed, you looked up and saw Johnny glancing down at you, clearly embarrassed. Slowly, you grab the milk and puncturing a hole at the top, you ask, “Why did you give me a chocolate milk?”
He stares at you for for a few seconds and then whips his head around to the door. A group of boys were gathered, giggling and cracking jokes at seeing Johnny be so nervous. He glares daggers at them, making the group hide once more behind the wall. Sighing, he sits in the desk in front of you.
“My friends wanted me to talk to a girl on a dare. I’m sorry but I hope you take the chocolate milk as compensation. It’s really stupid, I know.” He confesses, playing with the ends of his blazer. Now that he’s up close, you notice more of his features. His hair was a deep, brown color but you could tell by scanning the roots that it was dyed. Johnny was the student who was always making jokes during class and him being so awkward had you giggling under your breath.
He raises his eyebrow, perplexed. Had he done something unintentionally funny?
“Well, I won’t take it as an insult since I know you’re a friendly guy. Just letting you know, I like strawberry milk better than chocolate.”
Once the next day rolled over, a strawberry milk was placed on your desk and from that moment, Johnny and you had been inseparable. History had been made and the future shined bright for the both of you.
You witnessed Johnny through all his trials in life. Dreadfully, you were there when he got his first girlfriend and comforted him throughout the night when she broke up with him. When Johnny had his first alcoholic drink ever, you drove him home while he threw up in your car. Cleaning up the mess was not how you wanted to spend your Friday night but since it was for Johnny, it had been worth it.
Flash forward to present time, you listened to Johnny whine while shoving the school’s newspaper in your face.
“(Y/N)! I’m just so curious. Who do you think they are?”
Rolling your eyes, you played with your pen, dissembling it and then fixing it. A downfall to being Johnny’s favorite friend was that you were the one taking the brunt force of his unhealthy obsession with the mascot. Johnny would spend more time creating theories for the mascot rather than study, much to your dismay. But, you didn’t mind too much. The way his eyes lit up while talking about something he liked ignited a flame of passion in your stomach. You would never tell him, but Johnny is really cute.
“Johnny, I really don’t know and I can’t force myself to care about.”
He pouts and huffs dramatically, wishing to receive a different answer from you. “Well, I think it’s Lucas. That kid has so much energy so embodying the mascot would fit him!”
Laughing nervously, you reply, “Have you seen how tall Lucas is? Definitely not. Our mascot is shorter.”
He smirks and teases lightly, “Oh, so now you want to contribute to the conversation?”
“Theory-crafting, actually. A conversation has more meat to it.” You fire back, pointing the pen at Johnny.
Johnny sighs, a sign of him giving up. “Hey, are you gonna go to the first volleyball game? I’ll be playing!”
You shoot him a sad grin and lie through your teeth, “I’m sorry, you know I need to study. And you know how strict my parents are.”
As a matter of fact, you needed to be at their first game tonight. The latter, however, was a lie. It was rare if you could catch any game without being in that stupid costume. Johnny would have to choke it out of you for a confession about your double identity. Seeing Johnny’s sorrowful expression, however, rips apart your heart. It sucked. You never had time off from being the mascot and never have time to cheer on Johnny as yourself, not the mascot.
“You never even study though!” He complains, flailing his hands and legs around dangerously. Johnny seriously has to consider how big he is in retrospect of the world. He might hit you one of these days and he would have to experience true pain from you.
“Oh yeah? Who set up the principle foundation of atoms in Ancient Greek?”
Johnny remains silent until he finally answers, “Hades?”
“Oh my god.” You mutter, rubbing your temples. “You’re mixing up physics and literature!”
Johnny laughs and soon has you laughing as well.
As long as Johnny never finds out your dirty, this friendship will last even with all the tribulations.
Later that night, you hyped yourself up behind the bleachers while avoiding the moldy food and pair of panties the janitor hasn’t cleaned up yet. Despite cheering for three years, every game worried you. People paid attention, too much attention, to you. It’ll be plastered all over social media if it seemed like everyone’s favorite, lovable mascot was feeling less energetic than usual. Anything could happen, even if you’re one of the best schools. A reverse sweep might ensure and you’ll need to be ready to boost the crowd’s morality. To be prepared for anything gives your school the upperhand. Keeping a steady flow of your tuition being paid was also a plus.
The obnoxious buzzer rings and you take one final, deep breath before running onto the court. You waved wildly at your school’s crowd, sending kisses and hearts to everyone. A few of the girls mocked you, fanning themselves off. You shrugged off the mockery, not insulted at all. As long as they were enjoying the show then they’ll be cheering the entire night. Getting into position, you started your signature dance. Rallies grew in volume as you ended perfectly and skipped back to the sidelines, watching the volleyball game start. Huffing laboriously in your suit, your eyes scanned for Johnny.
Adorned in his neon green jersey and shorts, he displayed his number to the referee. While turned around, he glanced at you, giving you a quick wink before groaning loudly. Seems like they lost the coin flip.
Still, that little shit winked at you!
The referee blows the whistle and the opposing team lobs over the volleyball, a float serve. Fortunately, your setter dives just in time to launch the ball into the air..
“Setter out!” He yells, backing away to let his team handle the ball.
Their middle back steps to the ball and numerous voices yell out different numbers. He ends up setting the ball to the middle of the net, position four. Johnny, their ace and middle blocker, starts his approach and slams the ball, a loud smack following the ball as it slammed onto the floor.
From the sidelines, you jump up and rile the crowd. If Johnny can keep this up, the team would win in no time.
The opposing team never got past ten points causing your team’s supporters to mock and provoke their supporters. Crowd control was enforced, but nobody listened. The night ended in a victory, everyone rushing out of the bleachers to fire up the volleyball team on their first win. Silently, you snuck out and made your way to the locker room.
Locking the room behind you, you removed yourself from the suit. Sweat stuck to your skin as you gazed at your reflection. Another mindless, boring night. At least Johnny was entrilled about their first win. Whenever you saw his delighted face, it seemed like you could breathe a little easier and could keep cheering for a while longer, even if it tired you out greatly.
Slipping on your casual clothes, you escaped through the back and drove home, never thinking about the game.
If only you could support Johnny in public, you wishfully thought. It would help your situation immensely. You would shower him in heartfelt compliments, praising him on how well he did during the game. Due to your own pride, you could never tell him. Maybe one day if you get over yourself but you didn’t feel like making yourself both the poor kid and the weirdo of the school. Especially being the best friend of one of the most popular guys at the school. You would be destroying yourself and him.
‘Sorry, Johnny.’ You think while adjusting the mirror. ‘I’ll cheer you on proudly in the future. I promise.’
Some promises were never made to be kept. Some promises are created just for the moment.
To make up for missing Johnny’s first game, you showed up to his practice the next day. There were no scheduled games you had to cheer for so everything was working out well.
For now.
Johnny kept staring at you throughout the practice, waving at you or making a fool of himself with silly faces. Giggling to yourself, you worked on some homework and studied a bit as well. Might as well get something out of this practice while waiting for Johnny to finish up.
The slam of the gym doors disturbs you, promptly shutting your book in shock. Two boys stumble in, laughing boisterously and greeting everyone on the volleyball team. Clearly this was a daily occurrence as you take notice how their coach doesn’t even move to repremiend the boys. Speaking of the boys, they head over exactly to where you were seated on the bleachers and panic builds up within you. There wasn’t anywhere to go especially since it’ll look rude if you fled the situation. You really didn’t feel like interacting with anyone though. Time to suck it up.
“Hey, (y/n)! That’s your name, right?” One of them greets, a boy with neat light-caramel hair greets.
Shyly smiling, “Yes, that’s my name. And you might be…?”
“Yuta! And this is Taeyong, we’re friends with Johnny.”
With Johnny’s name reverberating in the air, your anxiety subsides. If they’re close friends with Johnny, close enough to come to his practice, then they’re most likely decent people. Johnny wasn’t one to make terrible friends.  
“Ah, that’s great!” You genuinely exclaim.
“We told Johnny we would be here to support him but honestly we’re both here for Winwin.” Yuta confesses, setting his lacrosse gear sprawled out along the bleachers. You nervously chuckled in response. Who the hell was Winwin?
“I’m only here because Winwin promised to help quiz me on World History.” Taeyong grumbled, watching the fake match intently.
Slowly, the three of you slipped into a comfortable conversation. It was relaxing and refreshing. Usually, Johnny would make conversation with you but the two boys were great fillers. They listened carefully as you told them stories and understood your humor as well. Occasionally, you threw a glance to Johnny and he caught your eye every time but quickly turning his head away every time. What got into him? Soon the practice was over and after their final cheer, Johnny ran up to you, sweatier than a sumo wrestler. His hands tried to grab you in an embrace while you squealed.
“Don’t touch me!” You yelp, running behind Taeyong. Taeyong groans as he attempts to push you towards Johnny, not willing to deal with your shenanigans.
Johnny chuckles. “Well, all three of you got pretty friendly, huh?”
Yuta strolls up to you and throws an arm around your shoulder, smirking and with a teasing tone, “Yes, we did actually. (Y/N) should just confess her undying love to me already.” At this point, Winwin also arrived to the scene, stifling a giggle behind his hand. Turns out Winwin was their setter.
You fake gag, not missing a beat when you notice how Johnny’s cheeks flare up. Either in jealousy or embarrassment, you couldn’t tell. Johnny was a master when it came to hiding his feelings.
“Well, why don’t we all go get some boba to celebrate this friendship?” Johnny says, giving a bright grin to everyone. Yuta whoops in delight while Taeyong and Winwin are already halfway out the door.
Now, this would be exciting.
A few weeks into spring had you doubled over in laughter and a constant heat left on your cheeks. Taeyong and Yuta were hilarious to say the least. Surprisingly, they weren’t snobby jerks like most the people at your school. Both of them had a heart of gold towards anyone. They helped cured that springtime sadness that came around every year due to Johnny being at practice more often. Without thinking of Johnny much, there was no room to feel blue. You occasionally missed his presence but Taeyong, Yuta, and Winwin made sure you weren’t too down.
It soon become routine that if you didn’t have to cheer that day, the three of you would head down to the gym and watch volleyball practice. Yuta and Taeyong didn’t know your secret and every time you would be questioned about why you couldn’t join them, you would shrug in response and respond with, ‘my parents don’t want me going out every day!’ They immediately shut up every time.
Today the boys were especially talkative, topics ranging from school to hobbies to love like rapidfire. Barely being able to hang onto the conversation, your mind drifted to the volleyball court. Johnny was breathing heavily, wiping away the sweat on his forehead. He glances at you and turns away, talking to a team member.
Frowning, you look down. Johnny never gapes at you and doesn’t wave immediately afterwards. Maybe you were reading too much into it, but your heart still spiderwebbed into tiny cracks. Johnny, the sweetest boy you knew, was ignoring you. The more time spent into analyzing his recent actions, the more you became worried. Johnny has been acting strangely around you recently.
During class you would slide notes to him and he would just leave them upon his desk, focused on copying the notes that had been left up previously for the past ten minutes. Johnny was anything but slow. You tried texting him later that day, the only response being left was a ‘Read at 4:57 P.M.’
Throwing your head back, you inaudibly groan. How could you be so stupid? Johnny hasn’t been himself for a while. Perhaps the title of best friend should be ripped from you since you can’t even recognize when Johnny was acting strangely. What could it be? Did someone hurt him? Was he sad? Your thoughts were slowly spiralling out of control, not realizing that practice was officially over.
“(Y/N), you good?” Johnny asks, carrying his schoolbag and his volleyball bag.
Knocked out of your haze, you nod, laughing awkwardly. When was the last time you felt awkward around Johnny?
He nods as well, halfway out the gym doors when you yell.
“Johnny! Let’s go get some ice cream. Without the boys.”
Johnny and you were close. There has never been a dull, awkward moment between the two of you. Sharing the sidewalk and quietly eating your ice cream has never made you want to crawl into a hole and die until now. Johnny barely spoke on your walk, only commenting on how he got extra sprinkles than usual. Silence suffocated the air and the smell of Johnny’s fading cologne has your chest tightening uncomfortably. Every other time you had been with Johnny, this scent has comforted you. But at this current moment, you wanted nothing more than to push him away.
“(Y/N)?” He asks, cutting the silence like a knife. “A-Ah, yeah Johnny?”
“Do you like Yuta or Taeyong?”
Your heart drops. Is this was he was so dejected over? If so, it was a foolish reason. As best friends, you made sure to tell each other everything, no matter how small. The two of you shared what you had for breakfast or the latest gossip you overheard your mom explaining so for him to accuse you of breaking such a precious promise hurt. It was childish, but it was your thing. Johnny and you both owned it. It was nobody else’s except yours. That’s what being best friends meant.
Your feet stopped and your chest filled with sick, dense, air as your teeth grit together tightly. How uncalled for.
“Really Johnny?”
His brows furrowed and he says accusingly, “What?”
You laugh mockingly, shaking your head and staring into Johnny’s brown eyes, “You really don’t know.”
With a flushed face, Johnny raises his voice. “What do you mean?”
This was an ugly site. On the sidewalk in the middle of the evening were two teenagers yelling at each other. Neither would give in and forget what had happened. If a passerby witnessed this, they probably would walk hurriedly along, not wanting to see the outcome.
“I’ve been your best friend since ninth year. I would never hide something like that!” You yell, frustrated. Johnny was an idiot at times, especially when it came to people. He could never recognize the emotions of others and how his words may possibly hurt them. Anger erupts in your chest, leaving you with hot insults dancing on your tongue. For him to think that you would betray him so easily cut you and left you with a nasty scar.
“You say that when you lie about how you always need to study and that your parents aren’t strict. I’ve met them, (y/n). They let you practically do whatever the hell you want!” He accuses, any regard for causing a public commotion vanishing.
He was right. You were lying about your situation. Why? Johnny would accept you either way, mascot or not. Is it because it’s embarrassing? A friendship built upon lies and lies? Would he stop being your friend?
Yes, that’s what scared you the most. Would Johnny, the popular, beloved Johnny, still want to be friends with the dirt poor (y/n)? Foolish was Johnny’s middle name. He would sacrifice his good name and reputation for you. You couldn’t stand to see him fall from such grace to land where you remain. Selfless, a cruel form of selfless, was your middle name.
“You know what? Forget it.”
Johnny’s sharp voice snapped you out of his trance and he turned sharply, walking away from you. His shoulders shook and his head was down. You knew he was crying. He is such a crybaby.
No tears stained your face that walk home or that night. The only stain that remained was the sticky, vanilla bean ice cream left on your hand when you crushed it out of despair.
Oh, how it resembled your heart all too well.  
———————--------------
“Why are you so mopey?” Yuta voices, sitting down at your desk as Winwin sits adjacent to you, pretending to read his textbook but is really engrossed within your conversation.  
“Don’t want to talk about it.” You mumble, hiding your face in your desk and rubbing at your eyes relentlessly. Although you didn’t cry, you stayed up all night regretting your fight with Johnny.
A hand taps you on your shoulder and you see Taeyong with a chocolate milk. Your heart hammers within your chest and you think back to Johnny and how you would share a milk almost every day.
He would know to get you strawberry milk.
Tears welled up in your eyes and your lip quivered seeing the carton. This scene was all too familiar. Yuta quickly rushed to shush you as Winwin waved his hands in front of your eyes to keep tears from falling.
After calming you down promptly, Taeyong begins, “Why don’t you just talk to him?”
It was dangerous threading these waters. How could you work your way around it without saying, ‘by the way, I’m the mascot, the embarrassment to our school!’ If it were that simple, you wouldn’t have almost cried in front of the boys!
“I can’t…” You whisper, dejected and wishing to drift to a different plane of existence. “It’s too difficult to explain what’s going on.” You trail off, hoping they wouldn’t push the subject but understand your point.
They seemed to understand, nodding pitfully as Taeyong rubbed your back. What you didn’t realize was Johnny saw you when he peeped his head in your classroom. Biting his tongue harshly, he almost ran to his classroom and sat down in a huff, face flushed red with rage. He knew his outburst yesterday was uncalled for but seeing you so close to your recent found friends made his blood boil.
It was no secret that Johnny had a huge crush on you. Anyone with eyes and a brain could tell. How could anyone not be in love with you? A distant night in freshman year confirmed his undying passion for you. There was nothing special about that night but your smile and laugh had his temperature rising and his hands shaking. It certainly didn’t go unnoticed by others either. So why were those three boys acting so close to you? It provoked Johnny deeply and his emotions haven’t been in check because of lingering touches between you and everyone else. Being a teenager is hard, especially when you can’t recognize the line between friend and lover.
Johnny desperately wanted to cross that line and for everyone else to stay far away from that line.
A hand clamped down on Johnny’s broad shoulder and he jolted straight up, ready to yell at whoever disturbed him. An ugly scowl was plastered onto his face.
“Johnny!” The boy was from his volleyball team, smiling brightly but soon fading into a straight line. “What’s wrong?”
Johnny fakes a grin, “Nothing! What do you need?”
He rubs the back of his neck. “Ah, well now that you ask, I forgot.”
Is he lying because he saw Johnny pissed? Can Johnny even be that scary?
“It’s okay! Just tell me when you remember.” Johnny reassures, turning back to his desk.
“W-Wait!” the boy stumbles, looking for the right words, “the volleyball team created a plan recently for the last volleyball game of the season to celebrate…”
This peaked Johnny’s interest. “What’s your plan?”
Mark was sweating buckets, tense that Johnny might reject the team’s plan. Everyone was going to be pissed at him if Johnny rejects the plan. Plus, he would have to buy dinner for the week for everyone.
“We wanted to reveal who our school mascot might be…”
Johnny quirked his eyebrow up, interested. A small grin broke on his face and his little obsession with the mascot was fully on display. Two of his desires would be fulfilled. One, he would finally know who the mascot was, something that has been irking him since ninth year. Next, he might get new recruitments for next year’s team! Nothing negative could come from this.
“Let’s do it!” He confirms and Mark lets out a long-held breath. Mark bids goodbye and dashes out of the classroom, glad to be out of such a tricky situation.
For a short moment, Johnny forgot about how upset he was about you. Looking outside, he analyzed how the flowers bloomed slowly. He would love to show you right now.
Unfortunately, it appeared that both of you were on different sides of a flower. Not everything in life is supposed to be easy.
——————-------------------
Huffing and puffing behind the bleachers, you sat down for a moment to catch your breath. Usually you wouldn’t be so out of shape but due to emotional eating and lack of sleep because of Johnny, your physical state was lacking. It was the last game of the season and it had to be your best game yet. You couldn’t bare to let Johnny down again, even if he doesn’t know it’s you. As it was the last home game as well, you needed to make the night special.
The buzzer, loud and alarming, warns the teams that it’s soon time to play. You come jogging out onto the court, waving at the huge crowd. With the last home game of the volleyball season, a majority of the school showed up. Waiting for the cue of music, you got into position. After a few tricks and turns, the crowd erupts into joyful yelling as each team runs onto the court, wishing the other good luck.
You sat by the bleachers and distinctly you could hear the whispers of your classmates around you. Jerking your head around, all you see is the crowd smiling at you and praising you. Jumping around as a way to say, ‘thanks!,’ you turn back to the game. People were definitely plotting something, but what? Is there going to be a huge prom proposal tonight? Or maybe another party? Whatever the reason may be, it caught your attention greatly. You didn’t even realize when the opposing team called a timeout.
Starting the cheer to mock the opposing team, your school stomps on the bleachers and yells, “TO!”
A flash of a figure makes you step back and you see a mop of brown hair flying and a boy excitedly jumping up and down. Johnny urges the crowd to scream louder and louder as one of the teachers supervising the game shouted for them to shut up. Obviously no one paid attention as both Johnny and you were riling up the crowd. You didn’t dare miss the glint in Johnny’s eye in that moment you saw him staring.
With the timeout finished, Johnny runs back to his team and resumes the game. You watched intently as a rally began, neither side giving up. This game was surprisingly close and N City High looked as fierce than ever. The opposing team has been rivals with your school for years in athletics. If they didn’t win tonight, the entire volleyball team would be the joke of the school until another team loses in some sport. Quietly praying to any gods above, you hoped that wouldn’t happen to them. Johnny had worked so hard to build up his team; you couldn’t bear to see it all come crashing down.
Finally the score was 24-24. The game was neck-to-neck and people looked more stressed than usually. A surprise tip came from Winwin and had the crowd soaring and roaring out of their seats. The ball was rolled under the net to a giant, confident boy who strode up to the line with confidence. His arm extended fully and whacked the ball hard, barely passing the net and almost being out of boundaries. Luck was on his side as the score changed from 25-24 to 26-24.
N City High has done it.
The band breaks out into a cheery tune as the fight song echoes throughout the gym. You merrily clap your hands along and head to the center of the floor, giggling inside the big, mascot head. It was infectious seeing everyone so joyous.
Suddenly, you’re lifted up into the air and multiple hands are on the outside of the bodysuit. Panic sets in your stomach and you thrash around, trying to shake off whoever has grabbed you. A few yelps of pain were expressed and soon you were set back on the ground roughly, falling to your knees. Crawling away shakily, you’re jerked back by the hands of someone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate our win, we will show everyone who our esteemed mascot may be!”
A sharp light fills your view and the mesh that surrounded your eyes from the mascot head disappears. Your eyes take a moment to adjust but soon you see the gasping faces of your classmates around you along with the horrified face of Johnny, holding the head of the stupid, ugly parrot. Its face was mocking you silently with uplifted eyebrows and knitted pink patches of blush.
Not even giving yourself a second to think, you bolt out of the gym, charging straight to the locker room. With choked sobs, you slammed the door and ripped off the rest of the outfit.
How fucking humiliating.
You have embarrassed yourself more times than you would like to admit but never on a level as extreme as this. Slipping on the black hoodie you arrived in, you caught a glimpse of your distraught face in the grimy mirror and immediately let out a whimper, sliding down to the floor and taking a moment to yourself.
You couldn’t leave. There was no way anyone would let you leave without questioning you. A cry escapes your lips and you slam your hand to your mouth, biting on the flesh until the taste of blood coats your mouth. It was embarrassing for your identity to be exposed. But by your best friend? That’s on a whole new level.
The door swings open abruptly and your head is filled with flight instincts. You rush over to the bathroom, locking the stall and listening to the loud footsteps.
“(Y/N)?” A sugary, honey voice presses, footsteps becoming closer.
“What are you doing in here, this is a girl’s bathroom!” You spit out, outraged at the offender.
Johnny sighs and you hear and feel a small ‘thump’ on the door of the stall.
“Can we talk?”
“We are.” You promptly respond.
“I meant face to face…” Johnny corrects.
You soundlessly unlocked the door and swung it open, not caring if you hit Johnny or not. Dejected, you stare at the floor in silence, waiting for him to start the conversation.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” You laugh, not sure if it’s a taunt or out of pure shock. “Why? Because it's embarrassing as hell. Nobody wants to be friends with the fucking school mascot.”
“Are you stupid?” Johnny replies and you feel the space around you grow a million times hotter. He steps closer to you and with a firm hand grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him. “Do you know how much I don’t care? I’ve been obsessed with that mascot for so long because I wanted to befriend them. To think you thought of me so lowly hurts.” Tears well up in your eyes and you tear your gaze from him, stepping back. “Obviously. So what do you want? To make fun of me? Say your goodbyes?”
He scoffs and engulfs you in a hug, his cologne invading your senses. You instantly relax and wrap your own arms around his waist. After such a terrible week, having Johnny all to yourself comforted you immensely.
“You know I don’t care about reputation.” “I know.” You sob, hiding your face in his shoulder. “I’m sorry.” You were a fool. Johnny was one of the most kind, careless people in your life. If anyone wasn’t going to judge you, it would be him. Johnny sighs, “I should be saying that. I’m sorry I was so stubborn and thought you were hiding secrets about your love interests. And that I also accidently revealed who you were to the entire school. I’ll beat up anyone who bullies you.” He jokes. Your heart was finally mending after all these troublesome days. A small smile graced your face as your tore yourself away from Johnny’s shoulder. “I’m glad I finally have my best friend back.”
With a sharp inhale, that mischievous glint reappears once more. “Can I change that?” Your confused look was wiped off instantly as Johnny smashed his lips against yours, his hands trailing to the small of your back. A gasp escapes your lips and Johnny sees it as an invitation to explore your mouth. Your hands make their way up to his neck and arms, not sure where to place themselves. You’ve fantasized over making out with Johnny hundreds of times but now that it’s happening, where did you put your hands all those times?
He pulls away slowly, nibbling on your bottom lip as he does. Your hair is all tousled and eyes wide as Johnny takes in your appearance. He chuckles and leans down again, stealing another kiss but putting more passion than lust into it.
“Sorry,” he whispers, kissing at your neck. “I didn’t mean for our first kiss to be in the locker room.”
“It’s fine. It’s pretty hot if you ask me.”
Laughter ruins the once serious atmosphere as Johnny and you were both cackling at the hilarious situation.
Becoming the school’s mascot was the worst deal you’ve ever made with that scoundrel of a principal.
However, earning Johnny and a few new friends for a lifetime was something you would never trade back in, no matter what reputation you held.

Vanilla Stage - Connor McDavid
Tumblr media
Notes: you won’t get the title unless you read the entire thing sorry yall. but this ended up being longer than i thought, so here ya go!! hope you enjoy :)
Warnings: sex-related things
Request: Can you do a Connor McDavid one where you guys have been dating since high school and you already know all the guys and the wags. everyone thinks you guys are innocent baby's but then you go to one of there houses for a pool party and there are scratches all over his back and hickeys on your neck and boobs. And they tease you guys ????? You are an amazing writer.😁😁😁😁           
Everyone who looked at you and Connor always came to the same conclusion, you were the innocent, vanilla couple, who went apple picking and made apple pies in your spare time and did absolutely no sexual stuff, whatsoever. There was nothing exciting about you and Connor, you were quiet, usually grumpy, but happy, looking people. But, like any couple, you had your secrets.
Your secrets were all on display whenever an article of clothing was removed, ranging from bite marks and scratches, to hickeys that littered your chest and thighs, and scratches that ran themselves down Connors back. No one knew about these though, with Connor wearing under armor shirts unless he was in the shower, and you wearing scarves and high-necked shirts.
Originally, you were that vanilla couple that everyone assumed you to be, but over time, the inner freak comes out in everyone. Years of dating Connor had brought that side out of the both of you, and the marks flawing your skin were examples of that.
On the other hand, you were a shy person on the outside. You didn’t like people knowing about your personal life, so you sure as hell didn’t like people knowing about your sex life.
“Connor, are you serious? You knew about the damn party, but you just ‘forgot’ about it and decided to leave marks everywhere? That’s not funny!”
You slapped at his chest, an upset looking flowing across your face as you subconsciously rubbed at the hickey on your breast, even though you knew it wasn’t going to make it go away. You grumbled under your breath while trying to find the easiest bathing suit to hide the hickeys and marks that Connor had littered your body with the night before, but of course, you had none.
Feeling arms wrap around your waist, you went to swat at them, only for your boyfriend to grip you tighter. “Baby, it’s not a big deal, just wear a dress over them and say you didn’t feel like swimming today.”
“Con, all the girls will know right away that, that’s a lie. They’ll pester me until they figure it out.”
Pursuing his lips, Connor looked like he was in deep thought, but after a few seconds a dejected look fell across his face, “I think you’re outta luck, babe. If it makes you feel better, they’re going to see all the shit on my back and chest too, and you don’t see me freaking out.”
“That’s because you don’t care! It’s embarrassing; I don’t want people knowing about our sex lives, Connor.”
“Don’t worry, (Y/N), no one’s gonna care, I promise you.”
Spending the entire ride to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins house subconsciously rubbing at the hickeys on your neck didn’t help your nerves, whatsoever. If anything, it just made it worse. You tried to downplay all the anxiety that was currently rushing through your body, but you knew it wasn’t going to work. You were friends with all the girls, and all the guys were easygoing enough that you could have a conversation with them, and make a joke, which meant Connor and you were going to be the brunt of the joke for the entire party.
Connor pulled into the driveway, just as Darnell did as well. The three of you got out of your respective cars, Connor walking around the car so he could grab your hand and basically drag you towards his teammate.
“Sup, buddy?” The two teammates did their typical ‘guy thing’ as you liked to call it, while you eagerly checked your phone, hoping that by some miracle, someone would call you with an emergency so that you didn’t have to go into the party. But sadly, your phone remained dry, and your hopes low. Your thoughts were broken to the feeling of the defenseman pulling you into a hug, attempting to piss off his captain with the position of his hand.
“Move your hand, far, far away from my ass, Nurse.” Moving his hand away from your butt, Darnell pulled away to grin down at you. “Cute hickey, (Y/N), or is it a straightener burn this time?”
A few weeks ago when you had seen Darnell, he had accidentally walked into Connor’s house while you were trying to find a shirt that you had carelessly thrown somewhere in your boyfriends living room. And, with just your luck, he had made direct eye contact with all the hickeys littering your chest. You had made the dumb decision to tell him that they were ‘straightener burns’ just for him to laugh it off and make fun of you repeatedly for it, for the last few weeks.
“Fuck you, Nursey. Go inside, you Hammertown asshole.”
Darnell grinned at your words, proudly showing off one of his multiple ‘Hamilton pride’ shirts, for whatever sports team was now in Hamilton. You didn’t notice your boyfriend come up behind you until he placed his hand on your lower back, leaning down to press his lips against yours once Darnell finally walked away.
“Stop stressing, baby. No one’s gonna say anything unless they actually see them, so just make sure no one sees.”
Mocking his words, you tried to mimic him, just for him to pinch your butt, making you squeal and jump a little bit in the air. “Fuck you, Connor.”
“When we get home, babe.”
Connor walked in front of you, grabbing your hand and gesturing for you to follow him into the backyard of Nuge’s house. Your ears were almost immediately drowned with the sound of people yelling yours and Connor’s names, offers of beer and food being thrown around at the same time, Valentina Lucic ran towards you, eager to see her favourite ‘Auntie’.
You let her jump into your arms, swinging her around as she giggled into your ear and demanded hugs from both you, and your boyfriend. You hadn’t noticed that her hand was on the top of your dress for support, tugging on it to make sure she didn’t fall, until the loud sound of laughter came from beside you.
“Jesus Christ, (Y/N), were you mauled by a fucking bear?” A blush immediately dawned on your cheeks, a few people telling Ryan to watch his language around the children; well everyone else diverted their eyes to you, or more specifically, your exposed hickeys.
You let the little Lucic down, while quickly pulling up the top of your dress and attempting to get rid of the attention that was now solely focused on you and Connor.
“Shut up, Ryan.” You mumbled, walking towards the table with all the beer, hoping to drown your current nerves in the alcohol that was there.
Ryan’s current girlfriend appeared beside you, her hand gently grabbing your arm. “Don’t worry about him, (Y/N), everyone’s shown up covered in hickeys and stuff before, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Ryan just likes to tease you guys cause’ you’re so young.”
Laughing lightly, you nodded your head in understanding, “I know, I just… ugh… I don’t want anyone thinking like about mine and Connor’s sex life, you know?”
“Oh, sweetie, don’t worry. Everyone knows how vanilla you and Connor are, anyways, at least according to Nursey.” She winked at you, a large grin overtaking her beautiful features.
Pouting, you just glared at her.
“Connor, you’re captain, you can’t just not play. Captain has to play, and captain’s girlfriend also has to play, (Y/N).”
You could kill Leon, you really could, if glares could kill, he’d probably already be dead by now. But you knew no one was gonna let Connor or you live it down if you both opted out of playing, someone probably making up the joke that you were both too ‘boring’ and ‘vanilla’ to do anything that involved touching each other or other people.
One thing the team typically loved to do at pool parties was water fights, but not any old water fight, but it just had to be chicken fight. The team loved it, even though it was like someone got hurt every time they did it.
“I nominate McJesus and (Y/N) and Nuge and Bre!” The chorus of yeah’s and ‘me too’s’ followed Darnell’s nomination, as you and Connor looked at each other with a grim looking on both of your faces.
“Do we not have a say?”
“Nah, cap, start stripping my dude,” Darnell grinned as he informed your boyfriend to begin stripping, which Connor reluctantly did, revealing the surplus of scratches and hickeys that littered his body. You were normally pretty tame during the season, but with the fact it was preseason and you weren’t expecting the pool party, you had forgone the ‘tame’ behaviour the night before, which you knew was about to come back and haunt you.
“Holy fuck.”
“Jesus, McJesus, you need Jesus.”
Whistles and ‘holy fucks’ were the only thing that could be heard as both yours and Connor’s cheeks went a bright red, the two of you trying to ignore the jabs and teasing remarks coming from his teammates and their girlfriends.
You groaned as they all looked at you, smirks littering some of the guys faces who already knew about yours and Connor’s ways. You knew you weren’t getting out of this now, so you shyly pulled your shirt off your head, your own marks on full display for everyone to see and jab at.
“Oh my god, my eyes, my eyes! You’re supposed to be the babies, you’re not supposed to be like this! Make it stop Nursey, make it stop.” Ryan’s dramatic antics had everyone looking at you and Connor, wide eyes and laughter following his words.
“If I knew this was gonna be a show and tell, I would’ve told you to wait until the kids were inside. Thanks for the warning, Con.” Milan Lucic, the ever-so-amazing jokester said, as he jokingly covered his daughter’s eyes, a glint of laughter evident in his own.
You tried to ignore their remarks, walking towards Connor so you could wrap your arm around his waist, gently poking at the scars you had left on his back. “What happened to the vanilla sex we all thought you were having?”
Nuge’s girlfriend was back, again making jokes about the ‘vanilla’ sex. “Bre, we’ve been dating for like… 5 years, I think we got over that vanilla sex stage years ago.”
The girl laughed, nodding her head in understanding, “Hey, if it makes you feel better, Ryan’s still in that stage.”
“Hey! Don’t talk about our sex life to the kinky children over there!”
Both you and Connor laughed at the nickname, all your nerves going away at the fact you knew your luck had run out and you were going to be teased about it for ages.
“At least we’re not stuck in the vanilla stage, as you so like to call it, Ryan.” Chirping the guys had basically become a second-hand nature thing for you, it was easy to come up with a quick quip that would personally attack one of the guys.
“I retract my statement about you getting mauled by a bear, (Y/N), I think you are the bear. Look at poor McJesus’ back, your claws destroyed the poor kid.” Ryan quipped back, the attention now focussed on other things, not the mauling of Connor’s back, and the bruises littering your chest.
“Shut up, you’re just jealous that the so called ‘babies’ aren’t babies anymore, and are having more sex than you, old man.”
“I’m not even that much older than you!”
“Stop attacking my girlfriend, Nuge, or I’ll make sure you’re the first person doing suicides.”
“Shut up, bear attack.”

Not that I have to say it but I will
If I say yes and don't like it, I don't fuck the guy again.
Let's take Fred for example. I was 21 and he fucked me like he raped me. But I never complained to him or the police. I just didn't fuck him again although we lived in the same house and it pissed him off.
He had a little dick. I always thought pencil dick was a joke until Fred. It's real yall
He told me size doesn't matter so says the girls, it's how you do it so he acted like he had a big dick and he was horrible at it.
I guess I should told him how to make it better but he wanted to show me and I wasn't gonna let that happen Even if I was telling him how it is
And I've also fucked married men -- before I got married and realized it's actually not nice.
And Matt knows all this. Even Fred. Who is probably his favorite because I hated it so bad!
Idc any guy that is bad in bed makes him happy.
So neither of us will make up rape stories. He likes it when I don't like it because then he has a chance when he feels like h3 doesn't.
And I would never lie to hurt someone when I know the truth hurts more.
There's been times when I didn't want to tell. Alot of people can tell you that. So if I'm saying it, then it's real.
If you believe it, that's up to you
I can't convince you nor will I try but when you're told the truth you can tell even if you don't notice.
That's why I began to love Alexis, she didn't notice. And it made matt irate mad I wouldn't tell him why he saw the change in me. Because if I told him everyone would know. Even still, he knew.
There's paranoia. True. And that's when you have believed lies for so long that you only will believe a lie.
I know how that feels although I never hit meth paranoia.
So telling between a lie and truth is difficult even for me.
So the more that believe me actually helps me.
The less that believe me ... well... it helps my anger on bad days. Matt gets the brunt.
Even if I want to beat him in the head right now, i know it's true. I say it every now and again but it doesn't Make a difference. He still gets the shit. But I know why.
So believe or not that's not up to me or you -- unless you're a DA or FBI or some ultra thing such as that.
And unless you're willing to face the truth in your own life, you'll never know what is what.
