@spec-b asked: Cloud doesn't realize it as he's sharping his sword, but he's humming "Yuffie's song" under his breath - as it's been dubbed. That tune has been stuck in his head for days though he'd never admit it to her face it was catchy - good, even. Creative. She'd enjoy that way too much and she needs to be kept in check from getting too big a head. "I'm.. so bored, bored right out of my brain.." He mutters, testing the newly sharpened tip.

There was no way. 

Absolutely. No. Fucking. Way. 

For a moment, Yuffie just watched him, a bright smile slowly spreading across her face as it became certain in her mind - she knew that melody. Oh. This was just about the best day ever, or evening, whatever. It was the best time she could have asked for.

“I knew it, I’m famous.” The grin on her face was something. As if all the firework festivals had come at once. 

Sitting down without ceremony, the young Shinobi plopped onto the floor, crossed her legs and smiled. “You know, in another lifetime I would have been an idol.” While she might sound like she’d joking, no, Yuffie was fully convinced of it. If she’d spent as much train training for it as she did to be a Shinobi it would have been a certainty. 

“You know,” taking a bite out of the piece of fruit in her hand, she reached forward to point at the materia slots on his weapon. “I should be charging you royalties for this. An orb a song.”

Talk about being full of piss and vinegar, holy crap- Kid hasn't changed at all. Aside from the President holding his chain, now THAT'S interesting...

I am begging the 911 gods (Tim Minear) to give Buck a storyline this season that doesn't revolve around patching up Eddie's messes.

You've gotten him off one hamster wheel (his relationship patterns) now get him off this one too.

(and before anyone gets mad over this: you can actually be friends with people without constantly fixing their messes and solving their problems, and this is a lesson that Buck was starting to learn in s7, so let's keep that energy ok? I don't want them to stop being friends, I just don't want Buck's purpose in that friendship to be damage control.)

Every Baby Needs a Daddy 12

Part 11

@spectrum-spectre before you say anything, there's no smut in this one so go to sleep and read it at a more reasonable hour

In Eddie's fantasy world, he took off in a plane with Steve, escorted him back to Indiana, dropped him off at the door of the home he'd be staying at, giving him a very thorough scenting before letting him go.

But Eddie had work to take care of and Steve said he would be fine. And Eddie had gotten the hang of figuring out when Steve meant what he said. It wasn't hard. Whenever he wanted to be spoiled, he put that bratty lilt to his voice. They parted ways, Eddie having rubbed himself all over Steve before they exited the car, then again before getting to the check out counter.

Eddie was avoiding notice by wearing his hair in a braided bun and big sunglasses. He insisted on getting Steve a first class ticket. It was the only way to keep too many people from rubbing against him and thus making his scent fade sooner.

"Don't miss me too much", Eddie teased, looking over the rim of his shades.

Steve wrapped his arms around his neck. "I already do, Daddy", he whispered. He kissed him and then murmured against his lips. "Can't stop thinking about it. In less than ten days..."

Eddie put his hands to Steve's waist. He couldn't wait either. They'd be reuniting for Steve's heat. But they weren't coming back together just for that. While Steve was pretty regular and was 99% it would come when he said it did, Eddie would have Steve on the first jet to Texas on January 1st.

Steve thoroughly enjoyed the luxury of first class and landed back home with less than half the stress of a normal plane flight. Eddie had been a little zealous in spending on him sometimes, and it reflected in how much money he sent to Steve so that he could get a ride at the airport. Steve had specifically told him that Lucas could have picked him up and then he'd be with family for the rest of the time.

Eddie must've heard something different because when Steve checked his venmo, he was several hundred dollars richer. When Lucas picked him up, he decided that money could be well spent doing some last minute shopping.

"You know, I'm actually kind of relieved", Lucas said as they packed the last of the stuff into his trunk.

"Why?", Steve asked.

"I thought when you started being a sugar baby and junk you'd turn into a different person. But you're still Steve."

Steve smiled. "Didn't go through a name change last I checked."

"You know what I mean. You were still cursing out the ref at the game back in DC. And you got Robin a mug with a weird picture, not like a diamond encrusted dog bowl or something."

"She's gonna love the mug more than that. And the ref had his blinders on for the whole first half."

Steve didn't realize how relieved he was to hear that though, that he had retained the real parts of himself even though he felt completely changed by Eddie. Would he start to change in time? How long would it take? His reverie was broken when Lucas pulled into the driveway of his home.

"Okay, so Dustin told my parents you were seeing someone and Mike told them it was someone famous but they don't know it's Eddie Munson."

Steve felt his stomach drop. "Do they know that I'm?"

Lucas shook his head. "You get to tell them that."

"You've gotta be fucking kidding me", Steve groaned.

The last thing he wanted to tell the people who helped him through the final years of high school and the first couple of college was that he was getting dicked down by a celebrity and was falling for him too. The Sinclairs were more like his parents than his actual mom and dad.

They didn't hold back either, bringing it up the moment he entered and they got their hugs.

"Dustin told us you're seeing someone?", Mrs. Sinclair said.

Steve snuck an ear twist as Dustin walked by with a grin, one that the Sinclairs definitely noticed but let him get away with. He had to be honest not just because of how important they were, but because they'd find out everything sooner or later. New traveled fast online and he was honestly surprised they didn't know more already.

"I met him one night at a bar. He covered my dinner when I was a little short", Steve said as his hands were kept busy helping with the food preparation.

"Sounds like a gentleman", Mr. Sinclair said.

Lucas and his friends were sitting in the living room, which Steve was thankful for. He knew they'd want to spill every last bean. He got away with giving them minimal info: Eddie's first name, the fact he was a musician, an alpha, and that they'd been on a few dates.

That night, he cornered Dustin and Mike and made them swear to keep their mouths shut about anything else.

"Lucas got basketball tickets. We should get something to", Mike said.

"How's about you don't get a tanned hide?", Steve offered, eyes hard.

Christmas went as usual, Steve spent the day of and day after in the Sinclair home, then returned to his own apartment where Robin was already waiting to celebrate New Years. He didn't get two feet into the door before she was feeling his stomach.

He rolled his eyes. "I'm not-"

"But you could be. I know you and your cumslut tendencies. So I know you're not making him wrap it up."

"But I'm still taking my birth control", Steve said.

"You just know that if you get knocked up I'll have no choice but to move back in with you and help you raise this pup", Robin said.

"There is no pup. And I wouldn't make you do that."

"I would though. For you", she promised.

"I know Robs. That's why I'm not gonna let it happen. If I wanna have his baby, you'll get a six month notice before we conceive."

"Thank you for that."

They spent December 31st ordering take out from three different places and binging Empire. When it got to the time for real festivities to begin, they turned the tv to where Eddie said he was going to be performing.

"So that's your beau. He's not bad", Robin complimented. "How's the rest of the band?"

"They're great. I think you and Jeff would really get along. He's actually really into brass instruments too. And Gareth knows a bunch of nerd languages."

"You mean like Klingon and Elvish?"

"And apparently he's learning Atlantean."

Midnight came and Steve kissed her forehead and Robin kissed his cheek.

--------------------

The next day, he was packed and ready to hop on his flight. Robin dropped him off and hugged him tight enough to hold him over until the next time they met. His ticket was first class again and when he landed in Austin, he was already feeling a tingling under his skin. He missed his alpha. Need his scent, his touch, the rumble of his voice.

Because of this, while he loved the other CC boys, he was a little disappointed to see them awaiting his arrival and not Eddie.

"The Ed-man had to finish something in the studio last minute", Gareth explained as they led Steve to the car.

"Thanks for picking me up, guys", Steve certainly preferred them over a stranger from Uber.

Grant drove the way back, taking them to a mansion that had Steve's jaw dropping. He was no stranger to big houses, but he was used to them being simply for status. They'd been grand but sterile, devoid of any personality. The moment Steve stepped in, he could see that wasn't true for this place. He could pick out each of the resident's scents, could see each of their quirks as he was given a tour of the place.

They saved Eddie's room for last and he found out when Eddie barreled down the hallway to meet them at his door.

"They're really good pack", Steve said as Jeff, Grant, and Gareth left the two of them alone.

"I knew I could trust them with you." Then Eddie kissed him about six times. "For all the missed mistletoe." Then again. "For New Year's."

Steve laughed against his lips. "You gonna show me the bedroom anytime soon? I'd love to lie down, Daddy."

Eddie bit his lip, looking nervous all of a sudden as he slowly opened the door. Steve wanted to take in everything. After all, a bedroom could tell you a lot about a person. But his attention was immediately grabbed by the bed situation and what was sitting on the bench in front of it. There was a thin quilt turning it into a canopy bed, much like the den Eddie had made in their hotel room back in New York.

Steve recognized the pattern from what he'd heard before. Jeff's handiwork. And by the foot of the bed was a small bench where a collection of clothes sat. Steve went right to them and took a whiff of the first shirt. It was so undeniably Eddie, he would have thought his neck was pressed to his nose were he not still by the door.

Then he picked up a tank top and caught notes of lemon and ginger. "Are these...?"

"I tried to scent a lot of stuff before you got here, the boys helped out too. I hope that was okay?" His hands were stuck in his pockets and his back was tensed like he might run.

"It's more than okay", Steve reassured him.

"And the den? You like it? I can always change it if you don't. We've got tons of linens here, all that can be scented in a moment's notice and-"

"Eddie", Steve put a hand to his arm. "It's great. Now...", he held up one of the garments. "Help me nest?"

Eddie swallowed and nodded. He followed Steve's lead as they arranged everything on the bed for maximum comfort. Once Steve was satisfied, he sank down into it, smirking when he saw the way Eddie gingerly lied down next to him.

"Your first time doing a heat?", Steve asked.

"I've been around omegas in heat before. Just not as the uh, let's say star alpha", Eddie admitted.

Steve turned so his back was against Eddie's chest and pulled his arm over him. It took Eddie a moment, but he got comfortable and melted against his body. The exhaustion from the flight and being up for hours finally got to him and Steve closed his eyes.

When he opened them hours later, his body was warm and he felt a wetness between his legs.

terminology (wip)

Burrowing: regular cuddles. Could be any position. Used as an act of bonding.

Nesting: person A (dominant) wraps their body around person B (non-dominant), restricting movement. Could be laying down or standing up. Usually used as defense or as an act of bonding.

Clinging: when person A follows person B around. Could be with nesting, but is usually just hand-holding or watching from some distance. Usually used as defense. Person B usually enjoys this, and pulling them apart may result in aggression.

Other: what person A is to person B. This may be romantic, sexual, familial, platonic, protective, or otherwise. The process of becoming one's other is referred to as othering.

Personing: the process of undoing an othering. You could think of it as "breaking up."

Imprinting: when person A grows to be affectionate to person B. This process could be automatic or slow.

Quick imprinting (or auto-impriting): when person A meets person B and is enthralled. They immediately take it upon themself to be this person's other. Othering is often sudden and immediately noticeable. Personing is easy.

Slow imprinting (or nonauto-imprinting): when person A may not like person B at first, but after some exposure, come to like them. Othering is often a slow and subtle process. Personing is difficult.

Bonding: when person A and B become closer through acts; hanging out, burrowing, intimacy, or otherwise. Used for emotional connection (love), but there have been reports of physical or psychic connections being formed.

@spec-b asked: "I don't want you to feel alone, but…"

His words crashed over her life a wave. He was trying, that she understood….but the idea that people couldn’t even relate to what she was going through just made it feel worse. She pulled her legs closer to herself, arms wrapped around them…oh, the conversation made her feel small. “But you can’t relate.” She would happily shrink away into nothing if it got her out of it but he was trying. She didn’t have it in her to punish him by shutting the conversation down right there and then.

Instead, she at least attempted to explain. “Maybe it’s better if people don't know.” What were they going to do with the information? “There’s nothing anyone can do to help. There’s nothing anyone can say that changes it. It just changes the way they look at you.” The latter she didn’t want, she was okay being the happy one. People didn’t look at you with pity, they didn’t tiptoe around you. “Then they have to live with knowing what happened to you, and they have all these weird feelings about it. It’s just better you don't poison them with it too.” 

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she took a shaking breath. Dark brown eyes focused downwards, on a point miles below the floor. “Sometimes I feel like I live in a snowglobe…” a strange analogy, but one Yuffie felt like it fit. She had one as a kid, that she would shake every time she walked in and out of her room. Maybe this was karma for it? “People go past me and everything gets shaken up but you never really…” were part of anything or had control over it. 

“I think maybe…in another life I was just a bad person, and this is what happens.”

honestly i’m so annoyed, because i have so many thoughts about how buck and eddie’s friendship could play into this cheating arc, but i just know that if i post them and they break containment it’ll inevitably be interpreted as b*ddie canon spec.

[daisysmalia]

Y’all do know if the lasagne is a Buck and Eddie thing and it’s burnt, it’s to symbolise the issue in their relationship (cuz Eddie lied to Buck) and not Buck’s relationship with Tommy right?
