hughes!sister x will smith au (samy + will blurb)

thanks to some of the umich boys, samy and will head to the yost for a little 1v1 fun

1.5k words

ok so i kind of switched it around bc i felt it fit better for the circumstances where samy wants to cheer will up some more after the loss still weighing on his shoulders. the ethan, mark rutger banter was lowk fun to write too lmao

au masterlist

samy wanted to do anything she could to flip her boyfriend's mood around. he followed her everywhere like a lost puppy and while she adored his clinginess, she hated seeing the solemn look lingering  on his features. losing the national championship still hadn't shaken from the boy's mind. even his escape trip to michigan's hadn't really lifted his spirits besides getting to spend time with samy.

the youngest hughes was determined to change that. she dragged will to the yost, her plan set into motion thanks to rutger, ethan, and mark.

"why are we going to the rink right now?" the boy raised his eyebrow when he realized where they were.

"just trust me, yeah?" samy peered back at the boy who met her loving gaze. the smile on her lips was quickly replicated on his own knowing how contagious her pretty smiles were.

the girl pushed one of the side doors open, leading the boy up the stairs where the locker rooms were and one of the entrances to the rink. mark, ethan, and rutger stood at the top holding skates, sticks, and pucks.

"what is this?" will grew confused when he saw the three.

"a little birdy called us up and said you could use a pick-me-up," ethan grinned.

will's gaze slid over to his girlfriend who beamed. he looked back at the gear in the older boys' hands, allowing another smile to grace his lips.

"hopefully i'm not too rusty and can still beat your ass," samy teased the blonde as she grabbed one of the pairs of skates.

"oh, you're so on hughes," the young hockey player shook his head, racing to kick his shoes off and lace up the pair of skates.

"you guys have an hour. i better not come back and see you guys making out in the locker room," ethan quickly cut in.

"oh come on, like you haven't done that before," samy rolled her eyes at the older boy.

"i'm sure roger over here has," mark teased their younger teammate. poor rutger's face blushed in embarrassment.

"hey! don't bring me into this. i was told i was getting pizza," the boy defended himself.

"chill, i've got the twenty in my pocket," the girl rolled her eyes again.

she traded the three for the sticks and puck for the twenty, promising that she'd buy them pizza for helping her out. mark snatched it out of her hands a little too quickly, a smirk painting his expression.

"have fun! be safe! don't be gross!"

"fuck off, estapa," with that, samy pulled her boyfriend towards the rink.

the lights were up and everything felt a little more peaceful without fans packed in every corner of the rink. she looked back at will, trying to gauge his reaction as he glanced around the beautiful yost.

"so different without fans in here," will mumbled.

"kind of peaceful, right?"

"how'd you even do this?" his eyes found hers again, another smile creeping into his lips wanting to momentarily pull her closer.

"bribed them with pizza so they'd talk to security to let us in after hours for an hour," the girl explained her brilliant plan. "plus, i hate seeing you so sad. maybe this can get your mind off things and just have fun. remember why you do this sport in the first place."

the smile never left will's lips, planting a kiss to samy's lips. she hummed, kissing him back before letting go. she was really excited to skate around the ice. "come on, time's ticking. i wanna kick your ass like when we were kids," the brunette stepped onto the ice, dropping the pucks down as she took one towards one of the goals.

"you forget you haven't played in years and i just went to the national championships with my team and leading with the most goals," will called after her.

"so? let's see if it all actually paid off."

the couple began a 1v1 game. samy's skills were muscle memory for her as she darted past her boyfriend towards the goal that he failed to block when she made the first goal. her hands pumped up in victory as she taunting skated around the blonde.

"i wasn't ready," will tried covering up.

"yeah, sure," the girl chuckled.

they set back up and will went a little rougher knowing she'd be able to take it. he skated after her, trying and failing to retrieve the puck away from her stick. a laugh fell from samy's lips when she skated around the goal, gently pushing will into the boards.

"hey!" he grumbled mostly because he couldn't believe she was better at this than him even after not playing in almost three years.

"clean hit," samy shrugged.

they went to 3 points. will didn't even make it to 1 when samy scored her 3rd and final point to win their little game. despite the boy's slight annoyance, he couldn't help but smile seeing his girlfriend with such a big grin on her face and on the ice.

it was like she never even left with how naturally everything still came to her. will knew she would've made such a great hockey player if she stuck with it.

"sorry, willie. guess i wasn't rusty after all," samy squeezed her boyfriend's cheeks making him flush.

"maybe i let you win?" will tried even though they both knew that wasn't the case. he was just trying to protect his ego.

"mhm, whatever will make you sleep at night," the two shared a laugh as will's hands snaked around his girl's waist. she smiled up at him, her own arms finding a place around his neck.

"but being real, i can't believe how good at this you still are," his words made the brunette blush.

"what can i say? gotta thank mama hughes for this gene," samy grinned.

"thank you for doing this. it's really fun and i actually do feel a bit better."

"i was hoping this would ease some of the tension. just don't forget why you're doing this will. win or lose," samy stroked the hair poking out of his baseball cap. a flush coated his cheeks at the feeling of her fingers on his skin.

the two shot the extra pucks around having a small shooting competition before the doors opened back up. the trio of boys walked in, smiling when they saw samy on the ice.

"time's almost up, lover birds!" ethan called out.

"almost done!" they watched as samy took one last lap around the ice with a puck. she shot it into the goal, pumping her arms up in victory.

"you can take the girl out of hockey but not hockey out of the girl," mark smiled.

he snapped a picture while making a mental note to send the picture over to luke later knowing he'd enjoy seeing his baby sister on the same rink he skated on for two years. samy and will wrapped it up, skating towards the older boys with large smiles on their features.

"saved you guys some pizza if you're hungry," rutger took the sticks from them while ethan grabbed their pucks.

"wow, that's so kind of you guys. for sure thought you'd eat it all in one go," samy giggled.

"hey, we're not pigs," mark rolled his eyes.

they let samy and will into the locker room. the two unlaced the skates, passing them over to mark who returned them to the right place. the brunette's eyes slid towards her boyfriend's whose eyes flicked around the large and impressive locker room. his expression was a bit unreadable, so she nudged him.

"what's up?"

"sometimes i think about what my life would've been like had i gone to umich or something," the blonde shrugged.

"do you wish you went somewhere other than boston?" the girl wondered, her voice soft. will looked over at her, shaking his head.

"no, but i sometimes think about what in my life would've been different if i didn't go to boston."

"would've seen me everyday if you came here," she beamed.

a grin spread across her boyfriend's lips, "i wish i could see you everyday. i dunno, you think my experience would be different if i went here?"

"experience in what? friends or hockey?"

"hockey."

"i mean, yeah in some ways. every program's different, but i don't think your experience would be drastically different. i think it would be between knowing a lot of people there or stepping out of a comfort zone and coming here for something new," samy shrugged,

will nodded, taking her words in. she opened her arms up, indicating that she wanted the boy to lay down. he obliged, head falling against samy's chest while she twisted his locks around her finger.

"thank you, again. for tonight. i had a lot of fun," will hummed, focusing on the way her soft touch tangled in his hair.

"of course, i'm glad. only forwards from here," she kissed the top of his head knowing whatever happened regarding a second season at boston or heading to the sharkes, will would would come back even stronger.

“okay, come on. i want pizza before those three actually do eat it,” the girl tapped her boyfriend’s shoulder. the two laughed as they got themselves up and raced to find ethan, mark and rutger who were most definitely eating the rest of that large pizza.

Can you write giving Sami his first blowjob? Thank you I love your writing so far 💕

blow him away

pairing; sami yaffa x fem! reader

summary; giving sami his first blowjob!

contains/warnings; oral (male receiving), slight face fucking

authors note; i was supposed to post this yesterday but i got caught up watching the live action one piece

he had always been a very quiet and reserved boy, he sat in the middle of the class and never bothered anyone. that's what she seemed to enjoy most about him, he wasn't obnoxious or always craving to be the center of attention. his messy black hair and pretty, puppy like blue eyes were absolutely captivating, he was adorable and she just had to have him.

sami was not the type of guy to sexually fantasize about a woman who had no idea of his existence or who he at least thought had no idea of his existence, but he was absolutely in love with her and her beauty. throughout the span of their second fall semester at college he surprisingly befriended her.

eventually, the innocent friendship turned into a romance. he hadn't felt fully ready to make the first move, yet he pondered what her pretty pinkish lips would look like wrapped around his cock, as time progressed the thought of it drove him absolutely insane and in a span of a few weeks he was finally ready to make the next move.

his pale back rested against the cool, neatly stacked pillows. [name]'s hand trailed down his bare chest, down to the belt wrapped around his pants. Sami's breath hitched as he felt her soft, delicate fingers slowly undo his belt spontaneously while maintaining eye-contact with him. it was evident that the whole situation aroused him, the bulge in his briefs was rather prominent, a dark, wet spot forming on his undergarments where his tip rested.

she pulled down his briefs, his lengthy and rather girthy cock slapped against his stomach. Sami quickly shut his eyes, feeling the cold air hit his sensitive tip. dribbles of pre-cum spilt messily from his slit as she wrapped her arm around the base of his cock, stroking up and down, he thumb circling the bright, angry red tip.

small moans escaped his pretty, soft lips, shortly after those gorgeous moans shifted into a loud whine as she removed her hand, sliding herself down and in-between his thighs, once again grabbing the base of his dick, wrapping her pinkish lips around the tip, teasingly sucking and licking it. Sami's hand inched down, pulling on the roots of [name]'s hair, slowly pushing her head down in desperation, this pathetic, whiny baby wanted more, so much more.

"[name]...please.." he pleaded, despite his previous actions her head hadn't moved at all, and after what felt like hours she moved her head further down on his cock, her nose brushing against his stubbly shaven pubic hair. a myriad of moans and random noises of mere pleasure escaped his lips as [name] moved her head up and down in a somewhat skillful motion. occasionally, she'd lick a stripe from the base of his dick up to the tip.

she glanced up at Sami with innocent eyes, signaling to him that he could fuck her mouth. his hips thrusted upwards desperately, almost as if he was chasing his orgasm. he looked absolutely ethereal as he threw his head back and halted his movement, breathing heavily. Sami was far too dazed to continue. [name] began to incline her head up and down his length once again, drawing him incredibly close.

after a couple minutes Sami's fingers tangled themselves in her hair, tightly grabbing the roots and holding her in place as he released his warm seed down her throat. she pulled away shortly after, coughing slightly as she collected any droplets of his cum that had dripped down her chin and on the corners of her mouth.

[name] brought her finger up to his mouth, prompting him to taste himself. he hesitantly leaned his head forward, opening his mouth, sticking his pinkish tongue out, licking the remaining cum off of her fingers.

"you're such a good boy Sami, you did so good."

Link to Chapter 5

The brightening lights and the screaming crowd meant nothing to him at this moment. All he could do was stare at the woman on stage and wonder how he could have been so blind. 

“Sami,” he spoke again, this time in a more assured tone. Samira was Sami. He couldn’t exactly wrap his head around it, maybe that was why it had taken him so long to be able to figure it out. Had he even figured it out? If this was true, she basically had to tell him through song. But how could Samira be Sami? They were so different. Or were they? Well Samira was into music while Sami was into books. Samira was cool singer and Sami was a cute nerd. Sami wore her hair up but Samira wore it down. It couldn't be, it was impossible. Simon continued to stand in place as Samira exited the stage. She walks over to a corner where there are some people waiting to speak with her. She is in deep conversation as he takes some unconscious steps toward her, and while she spoke, she took a glance over toward him. Simon turned to hide his face, suddenly a bit embarrassed to be there, but obviously he didn’t turn fast enough, because within a few seconds he felt a tap on his arm.

“Hey!”

He turns back around to face her “Hey. You were amazing up there. These are for you,” he hands her the flowers, she takes them.

“Thank you! No one has ever brought me flowers before,” She looks a little confused but appreciative.

“No problem…Sami,” he leans forward a bit, expectantly

She looks up without moving her face; smirking 

“When did you figure it out?” she picks at the flowers

“Tonight,” he blushes “Your song. It was beautiful. It was something Sami- well, you said to me a bit back.”

“Oh, well now I know that you listen to me when I speak.”

He looks a bit shocked “Of course. I always listen to you. I love to hear you.” He may have spoken a bit too much, but Samira’s eyes brightened as she looked up at him. But just as quick as it came, it turned into a disgusted look.

“What is that smell? Is that you?” She leans forward and sniffs him “Oh my glob, it IS you! Why do you smell like that?”

“Uh, new cologne. It’s um Grape Honey Dandelion,”

“Oh my glob, where did you get that from, the clothing kingdom?”

“Um, yes actually”

“Dear glob, don’t ever do that again” she laughs and covers her nose “Did you wear that for me?”

“Um no….? Yes.”

“Well thank you, that’s flattering, but stick to your usual scent. That one smells amazing”

“Really?”

She nods “That’s how I know when you enter a room,”

He turns red at her attention to detail “But thank you for coming. It really means a lot to me.”

“Of course, I’d come every week to see you.”

“Well, you don’t have to wait until Thursdays to see me,” she winks at him, holding the flowers up to her face.

“You’re right. Maybe we could spend some time together outside of here and the library?”

Samira widens her eyes with surprise “Are you asking me out?”

“Yeah...to hang out. As friends” He felt like slapping his own forehead the moment the words passed his lips.

Samira’s face dropped a bit, but was instantly back up to normal

“Um, okay! We can definitely do that! Just tell me when. You can text me!”

She pats herself down, then turns to address a Candy Person, they give her a marker. She turns back to SImon “Roll up your sleeve,”

“I can’t roll up my sleeve in this suit,” he chuckles, knowing that he sounds ridiculous.

“Yeah you can. See?” She grabbed his arm and meticulously folding the sleeve back to reveal his forearm. 

Simon is immediately made aware of the scar from the wound he got on his “adventure” with Finn, who was trying-in a very wrong way- to make him feel better. He’s filled with self-consciousness and certainty that Samira would say something about it, but all she did was regard it by rubbing her thumb over the it, then write her phone number on top of it, as well as her name, as if she was signing her name on the dotted line of a document.

“Call it an autograph. Take a picture of it.” she gives him a coy look “But yeah, use that to text me. Or call me or whatever”

He traces his finger over the scar “Yes, absolutely.”

“Okay. Well..bye” Samira twirled the marker between her fingers before giving him a small wave before departing, taking the flowers-and the marker-with her.

Simon kept unconsciously rubbing his scar and staring off at nothing. He was unaware of what he was thinking about, but he did know that he wanted to get rid of this awful smell.

After getting home, Simon copied down Samira’s phone number on a piece of paper. While preparing to shower off the cologne, he thought about what Samira had said about th writing on his arm being like an autograph. Once he removed his shirt, he took out his phone and decided to follow her advice and take a picture. He decided that this was something he wanted to remember. 

After his shower, he sat down on his bed, glad to be free of the smell. Staring off into the distance had recently become a new hobby of his. When he snapped back into reality, he found himself once again rubbing the scar that he had not noticed once until tonight. He didn’t know why, but he couldn’t stop doing it. While grazing it, he thought back to Samira’s touch on his scar. The care she took rolling up his sleeve, how she didn’t make any comment upon seeing the scar, and how she didn’t pretend like it wasn’t there, but instead made him feel like it was some interesting part of him to be recognized. Her soft hands and fingers trailing over it.

No, this was him making a big deal over nothing, he was sure of it. Time to do something actually productive. He should start by getting dressed. Then proceed to do some late night reading to take his mind off of his complicated feelings. Laying in his bed, cracking open the first book that came to his mind, he bagan reading and very quickly realized that this was one of the books he had borrowed from the library almost a week prior. In fact, this was a book that he had sat and read with Sami,-well Samira. He wondered if he was still allowed to call her that.

Enough about that. He was reading. That is what he was doing, not daydreaming or thinking about other things. Reading. 

But turning the pages, he was hit with a smell of strawberries, but not pure strawberries, more like processed ones. Kind of like something strawberry flavored. This was how Sami smelled to him. He laughed to himself thinking how silly it was that his brain had taken the time to identify the scent so specifically, and how quickly he was able to relate it back to her, but waved it off because he was certain that the scent would fade within a page or two.

But it did not.

In fact, her scent seemed to be all over this book, and before long he found himself turning the pages only to get another hit of the smell. And now he was outright sniffing the book. The smell filled his head with memories. Such as the first time he watched her perform, the way she was able to yield complete control over her body, hearing her sing, and hearing her speak, like the day they were both at Marceline’s house, tonight when she smelled the flowers he gave her, and mostly all the days and afternoons they had spent reading to each other. In particular this one specific moment when he was reading and she sat next to him on the floor and leaned over so she would be able to read the texts as well. That was the moment he had caught on to her scent. It was also the moment he had first seen her face up close. She was beautiful from afar of course, but up close, it was like you could see her personality, right there on her face. It was as though she put it all out in the open, and she wasn’t scared of anything. The more he thought of her smell, her body, and her face, the redder his face became, and the tighter his pants became. He couldn’t stop himself from sniffing the one thing he had that she had touched. He wondered for a moment and then put his arm up for him to smell as well. He’d had a shower, but his arm smelled like her as well. Sooner or later he felt ridiculous. What was he doing? Smelling himself and his books like a crazy person! 

“I am reading,” he thought speaking to himself aloud would help ground his thoughts

But when he opened the book once more, the smell of candy strawberries hit him again and turned his face beet red and his pants ultra tight.

“Alright that’s enough reading for tonight,” Simon slams the book closed, removes his glasses and lies down under his cover, staring up at the ceiling, having nothing to distract him, he quickly felt a heavy underlying guilt. 

He had asked Samira to ‘hang out’, not knowing where it might lead, or if he’s even ready for what he’s about to jump into. He couldn’t do that to her, it wouldn’t be right. It’s not fair to her.

That’s what he told himself lying in bed that night because he did not want to admit to himself that his guilt was more about the fact that he hadn’t felt like this for anyone, since Betty. And by having these thoughts about another woman, he knew for certain, he was betraying her.

I'll always have your back my pookie <3

Summary: The reader is a member of The Judgment Day and goes out with JD to have his back during his gauntlet match on Raw.

A black SUV rolls into the loading bay for Raw. It comes to a stop and the passenger side door swings open. JD steps out of the back and offers his hand to you. You gladly take it and hop out of the SUV as well.

"Thank you, Jordan." You smile at him.

"Course, doll." Jordan nods.

Damian and Finn both climb out of the front of the SUV and everyone heads down to the locker room for the night. Damian has a match scheduled against R-Truth tonight, and Jordan has the gauntlet match. But besides that, The Judgment Day is out of action for the week. Rhea is busy dealing with Liv and Becky fighting over her, and Dominick is off somewhere enjoying his honeymoon.

"Have they told you when you're supposed to be out for the gauntlet match, Jordan?" You ask JD once everyone is settled in the locker room.

"First, of course." Jordan groans. "So it looks like I'm going to have the run the whole thing." He frowns and plops down into a seat.

You sink down into the seat next to him and set your head gently on his shoulder. "You'll do great, Jordan." You assure him. "You've got me looking after you, right?" You remind him.

Jordan chuckles and nods, intertwining his hand with yours. "Can't argue with that logic." He grins at you. "I can't lose now I guess." He jokes.

"That's the spirit, sweetie." You turn your head and kiss his cheek.

Jordan wanders off to get ready for his gauntlet match so you head off to find what Rhea's up to. The two of you mess around with Liv and Becky during their match before you both head back to the locker room.

Damian's match with Truth is scheduled next so you accompany him down to the ring for support. DIY shows up to support Truth so Finn and JD come out from the locker room to help out.

"Look's like you could use some help pretty lady." Jordan comes to your aid when Ciampa attempts to run you off.

"My knight in shining armor." You giggle and step to the side to let Jordan handle business for you.

Jordan chases Ciampa off and gets a few shots in before returning back to your side. You hang off his side with a laugh and kiss his cheek. "Nice work babe." You praise Jordan. "You all hyped up and ready for your gauntlet match?" You ask him. "I heard that you've got Sami Zayn first."

"That loser?" Jordan laughs. "Easy money." He insists with an air of confidence about him.

"I love it when you get all confident." You giggle and head up the ramp with him.

Everyone files back into the locker room and hangs out until the gauntlet match. When time comes for the match you and Jordan head out while everyone else sticks in the locker room.

Jordan does his entrance and you trail behind him so he's got the spotlight. Sami is already in the ring so you stop at the stairs and offer Jordan one last vote of confidence.

"Kick his ass, baby." You plant a chaste kiss on Jordan's lips. "I'll be over at the commentary table bothering Pat." You wink at him before walking off.

You head over to the commentary table and Pat is quick to pull a chair out for you. You take a seat in the chair provided and listen to Pat and Michael trade quips for a while. Jordan beats on Sami for a while before pinning him. The bell rings and another opponent comes barreling down the ramp. Bronson Reed.

"Oh god, already?" You frown as Reed comes gunning down the ramp like a man on a mission.

"Something to add, YN?" Pat shifts in his chair and turns toward you. "Not a fan of Bronson Reed?" He asks you.

You scoff and roll your eyes. "No, I'm not." You reply plainly. "I find him a bit overrated to be honest with you Pat." You add.

It takes some effort on Jordan's part, but he eventually manages to roll Bronson up and pin him for the three-count he needs to win. The bell rings again and Jordan's third opponent for the night heads down to the ring, Ricochet.

"JD is looking impressive tonight," Pat comments on Jordan's performance thus far. "But does he have what it takes to keep up with Ricochet's high-flying skills?" He turns to you for an answer.

"Ricochets been out of action for months." You scoff. "He's washed up. Jordan's been in action every week for months. This'll be an easy win for him." You insist.

Pat nods, taking note of your confidence in your man. "I suppose we'll see." He turns his attention back to the ring.

Ricochet and Jordan go at it in the ring for a while. But Jordan's momentum starts to slow down significantly. Ricochet's freshness coupled with the fact that Jordan's already faced two other opponents end up getting the better of Jordan.

"Crap. Come on, Jordan!" You slip away from the Commentary table to cheer JD on. "You've got this babe!" You cheer for him.

Jordan puts up the fight of a lifetime. He gives it his all but Ricochet's energy is too much for him. You try and help Jordan by distracting the referee, but it doesn't seem to help. Ricochet hits JD with a picture-perfect frog splash and pins him for three.

"Shit." You curse the air and pull Jordan out of the ring by his leg. Jordan rolls to the floor and you help him to his feet. "Sorry baby." You frown. "You tried your best."

"Rheas gonna be pissed." Jordan groans in pain.

You roll your eyes and rub his back with your free hand as you help him up the ramp. "You looked great out there. It's not your fault that they made you come out first." You try and cheer him up. "And if Rhea has anything to say about it, she can answer to me." You kiss his cheek.

"Thanks, love." Jordan cracks a small smile at you.

Here's a possible trope idea: stuck together (interpret how you'd like 😙)

Sending good vibes so that writer's block goes away !!

hey anon sorry this is so late but here it is!! thank you sm for the prompt, i went with jeysami! hope you enjoy :)

this takes place after survivor series: wargames '22!

“Oh, come on,” groaned Sami, almost going to honk his horn before seeming to think better of it. He put a frustrated hand through his hair. “This city is cursed, uce.”

Jey was already watching him from the passenger seat. “Probably an accident or somethin',” he said.

Sami sighed. “Yeah, yeah, you're right. I shouldn't be so self-absorbed.”

That— that wasn't actually what Jey had said. It made Jey's mouth involuntarily tilt up on one side. Sami, and his terribly genuine brand of... goodness. Jey was endlessly entertained.

“It's just—” Sami cut himself off. Jey raised his eyebrows. Sami glanced at him, grinned a little sheepishly. “It's weird, right? How it all is now?”

Jey knew what he meant. “What you mean, uce?” He liked to hear Sami talk.

“I mean.” Sami's hands began to gain energy, as animated as they always became when he was on a rant, and Jey turned to take in his fill more completely. “I mean, three months ago, I wasn't sure Roman took me even remotely serious. For sure, I didn't think that you... That you would ever warm up to me.”

Jey huffed. “Yeah.”

“And when Roman stuck us together— remember that?— when he wanted us to get along better?“ Sami laughed, sounding almost breathless. “Every time we were alone together, I was thinking, 'This is it. He's gonna kill me.'”

“Same, man,” said Jey, and Sami laughed some more. Jey's chest pleasantly warmed.

Sami looked at the cars around them. “And now we're here, stuck together just because you wanted to.”

Jey's face unpleasantly warmed. “Hey, I was just trying to finish my sets,” he defended. “You didn't have to stick around, you could've gone ahead with Jimmy and Solo.” In all honesty, Jey knew Sami would insist staying at the hotel with him. Their friendship was fresh and new and he'd been eager to hang out with a Jey that wasn't always glaring at him. “And you didn't have to drive.”

Sami waved him off, a grin on his face as he continued looking ahead, as if they weren't frozen in traffic. “Yeah, yeah,” his tone was teasing, “anyways, my point is that it's kinda weird how it all is now.”

Jey turned to look ahead, too. His cheeks felt warm. He fidgeted with the dashboard. “Good weird, though, right?”

A beat. “Definitely good weird,” Sami answered.

When Jey looked over, Sami was already looking. There was a smile still on his lips, but it was almost hesitant. He was blushing. Jey looked away.

They got quiet after that, then— not a bad silence, but a comfortable one. Jey, despite himself, had always felt comfortable around Sami — he just tried to suppress that comfort as well as he could with the distrust that his mind kept telling his heart that he should be feeling.

Truth was that nowadays, Sami was really the only person Jey ever felt completely comfortable with aside from Jimmy.

As that realization began to completely dawn on Jey, heat creeping back into his cheeks, he could feel a responding change in the silence of the car. Still not bad but— not exactly comfortable anymore. Charged.

He was just going to open his mouth, desperate to bring back normality, when Sami was opening his: “Jey?”

His tone sounded off. Sami was always so expressive, emotion always played out across his face and his voice and his posture but Jey didn't know this one, was still trying to figure them all out.

Jey swallowed. “Hm?”

Sami's fingers began tapping a beat into the steering wheel. “I,” he cut himself off again. He wet his lips, and Jey tracked the movement, eyes snapping back up right after. Sami's cheeks were still red. “I was wondering if you wanted to get food after the show.”

Something in Jey's chest was pounding like a drum. “Always do, don't we?”

“No, like—” Sami glanced at him, expression painfully sincere. “Like a date.”

Jey could hardly breathe. “A date?“

Sami didn't look like he was breathing, either. “A date.”

“For real?”

“For real.”

“With me?”

“With you.”

“Sami,” Jey said.

“Shit,” said Sami. “I should not have done this. I should not be doing this, especially alone in a practically parked car with you, damn it—”

“Sami,” he tried.

“Jey, I'm sorry about this, ignore it all, forget I even asked, I really didnt mean to put you in an uncomfortable—”

“Sami,” Jey insisted, and Sami finally shut up, wincing.

“Yeah?” he asked weakly.

Jey's heart was still pounding. “Yeah.”

“Yeah, that's what I thought, I'm so sorry about this, Jey, if you don't want me to—”

“Sami,” Jey repeated, exasperated. “Yeah.”

Sami finally looked at him, full on. He blinked. “...Yeah?”

Jey felt a grin spread across his face. “Yeah.”

A honk interrupted them. The cars ahead of them had started up again, moving forward. Sami broke their frozen eye contact to follow, his driving jerky.

“Yeah,” he eventually said, breathlessly. “Okay. I mean— Awesome. Cool. Totally.” He laughed softly, brushing a quick hand through his hair. “Awesome.”

Jey finally looked away, too, but he knew a ridiculous grin was still plastered all over his face. “Awesome.”

pairing: kevin owens x sami zayn x reader

summary: you and kevin save sami from the bloodline

You sighed as Kevin paced back and forth. Something was going to happen tonight and you knew it. Jey had tweeted out earlier about an important Bloodline announcement, but Roman wasn't booked to appear on Smackdown this week at all. They were going to do something to Sami, which you couldn't in good conscience sit back and let happen. So, you called Kevin for help. He had pretended that it was only because you had asked, but you knew how worried he had been for Sami lately.

"I don't get it," Kevin muttered to himself. You counted down in your head, just waiting for the sudden outburst to come. "I'm his best friend. I warn him again and again, but he acts like I can't be trusted. It's like he doesn't think I'm just looking out for his best interest. He always trusts you, but why not me?"

"You don't always trust him. You've both given each other reasons not to trust each other, but you're here now." You reached your hand towards him, glad when he caught onto what you wanted and took the empty seat next to you. You leaned your head against his shoulder as the two of you watched The Usos go out to the ring first. Sami trailed behind them a little.

"Do you think he'll come over to Raw for a while after this?" Kevin asked. He had been over there by himself for quite some time now. You hadn't wanted to go to Smackdown, but it was smart to have someone looking out for Sami. Even if he didn't want to listen to you either.

"I think after this, we'll both be looking for spots on Raw," you said with a small huff. Kevin tried to act like that didn't make his heart jump a little, but you could see the hints of a smile on his face. You moved to press a kiss to Kevin's cheek when out of the corner of your eye you noticed Jimmy turn his back. Jey didn't hesitate to go right after Sami, which was when Kevin sprung into action. You both ran as fast as you could down to the ring.

"Get out of here Y/n," Jimmy told you. Kevin was pulling Jey off of Sami and throwing him out of the ring. You had your fists clenched as you walked the other twin into a corner. Kevin was getting Sami and taking him back while you stared down Jimmy. Once you were sure that they were safely out of the way, you gave Jimmy one hit to the thigh with your kendo stick before leaving the ring. On your way up the ramp, you kicked at Jey for good measure.

"I don't know why they would do this. I was one of them. They told me I was one of them," Sami rambled as Kevin held an ice pack to his temple. "I must have messed up somehow. I need to go out there and apologize."

"Sit down," you said sternly. Sami sank back immediately. You were glad that even after having known each other for so long, that trick still worked as well as it did. "You aren't one of them. You are not a member of The Bloodline. You are not an Uce. Somewhere along the way, you forgot who you are, but Kevin and I are gonna remind you of that."

"You two don't know me," Sami tried arguing. Kevin scoffed at that, knowing Sami better than he knew himself. "I'm not the same Sami I used to be. I'm not the guy you love anymore."

"Stupid hair and all, you still look like Sami Zayn to me." You were surprised that Kevin had taken the first step with Sami this time. You had gotten so used to taking the lead when it came to comforting either one of them. "I happen to know this decent wrestler who gives pretty dashing haircuts if you're interested. Even if she messes up your hair, she'll still tell you look cute."

"I would not have messed up your hair if you stayed still," you said, somewhat defensively. Both Sami and Kevin chuckled at that, knowing that probably wasn't the whole truth. Your heart ached momentarily watching them sit there together laughing and smiling like old times. Sami picked up on the slight change in your demeanor first and got up to hug you.

"Thank you for saving me," Sami said. He looked back and Kevin and nodded for him to join you. Kevin held the two of you tightly, almost a little too tightly, but you'd never complain. You hadn't known what to expect that morning when you were getting ready for the show, but it wasn't getting to head to the next city with both Kevin and Sami. The wave of nostalgia you were feeling was quickly washed over with a sense of safety as the three of you fell back into old routines together.

RAW 30/10/23

A Build To Crown Jewel.

This was the last Raw before Crown Jewel, and it was a decent episode. The Judgement Day’s, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh open the show as Rhea recaps a few things before Sami Zayn hits the ring and vows he will put a stop to the stable. Of course the numbers are against Zayn and he gets backup from Ricochet. The funny because Sami doesn’t stick around to even the odds as Ricochet has his match with Dom. The matches itself was good. Dom picked up the win thanks to a distraction. Dirty Dom used the ropes to his advantage for the pin, but the announcers never picked up on it.

The Alpha Academy had a pretty great match with The Creed Brothers. This is my first time seeing this tag team and I was impressed with the fast and technical style. The Creed Brothers got the upset victory with the Brutus Ball.

I’m generally not interested in The Miz. I haven’t seen him evolve over the past few years, and his character never gripped me. But the segment with Gunther showed a vulnerable side to The Miz that I believe is needed. Next week, Miz will have a number one contender’s match with Bronson Reed, Ricochet and Ivar. I think Miz needs to lose or lose against Gunther, causing Miz to go down a down spiral where he has to overcome his doubts. To me, that's a story I can get behind.

Sometimes angles don’t work, and this seems to be the case here as Candice LeRae lost to Xia Li via KO. LeRae received a kick to the head. The angle was awkward because I wasn’t sure if this was a work or shoot. It turns out it was a work, but I wasn’t that into it. Li would show back up to tease a match with Becky Lynch.

Things picked up with a video package from Drew McIntyre. This package really emphasized Drew’s story, his motivation and what the World Heavyweight Championship means to him. I would like to see a heel Drew as champion. The Scottish Warrior has yet to resign with WWE, so we don’t even know if McIntyre will be around this time next year. Seth Rollins gave a good reason why he doesn’t sympathise with Drew. Seth said we all suffered due to the pandemic, some more than others. The conviction between both men is there. Rollins would follow put with a decent TV match against JD.

As far as costumes go, I think Chelsea Green and Piper Niven win with their Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart costumes. The Trick or Street Fight was what it was. I’m just not a fan of this level of silliness, but the costumes were worth it.

The main event also wasn't worth much. Sami and Priest didn't go on for long, and before you know it everybody was getting involved. This led to a DQ. The highlight was Cody Rhodes delivering a cross rhodes on JD onto the announce table.

I liked the stories that were told, but the matches as whole were just average as a total.

[little-jey]

You are loved! Take all the time you need. ♥♥♥

ty :( <3 in the meantime have a snippet of Cant Go Solo bc i feel bad

Solo’s heart felt like a pin cushion. He’d never felt like that before in his life, he didn’t know how to deal with it. He tried to force his mind to forget about the kiss. But… it was his first kiss.

He’d always valued kisses. Kisses from his brothers, kisses from his parents, kisses from Roman. He remembered with the faintest of smiles the way his older twin brothers used to kiss a cheek each and have Solo smushed in the middle. There was a picture of that somewhere… Solo remembered his own pouty lips being squished between his cheeks and his wild, curly hair sticking up in contrast to his teenage brothers’ short hair. He never knew how to receive kisses, so he always just stood there and let his family kiss him.

But that time was different. When Sami kissed him, he wanted more. He wanted to give back. He wanted to thank Sami and kiss him again. He’d never felt anything like this in his life.

So now that Sami was distancing himself, Solo felt horrible.

Royal Rumble 2023: A retrospect.

Overview:-

So recently I rewatched last year's Royal Rumble in preparation for this weekend's RR just to see how far we've come since then, and I must admit, this show has aged so well over this past year.

From establishing narrative threads for the upcoming year to solidifying the main event presence of Sami, Gunther and Cody, as well as (unbeknownst to us at the time) housing the final match of the late great Bray Wyatt, there is a lot to discuss about this event.

Men's Rumble:-

To keep it short and sweet, this match was STELLAR. It may have lacked the surprises that a royal rumble match is typically known for (spoiling Cody's return in advance wasn't a great idea and I stick by that + Booker T has been present in NXT, thus keeping close ties to WWE) however, what it lacked in shock value it delivered with star power and match quality.

Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Sheamus, Bobby Lashley, the aforementioned Cody Rhodes and, undeniably, the star of this match GUNTHER, really made this match into a showcase of the best the WWE had to offer.

With the storyline of the Banger Brothers (yes I am calling the that) intertwining with Gunther setting the stage for their eventual MOTY candidate at Wrestlemania, Bobby Lashley eliminating Lesnar which helped build their (in hindsight underwhelming) feud, and of course, the comeback of Cody, all leading up to an amazing mini match with Gunther, with such a quality final two not being seen since 2007 between Taker and Michaels.

As a result, this match ranks amongst my favourite rumbles of all time.

4.75/5 ****3/4

LA Knight Vs Bray Wyatt:-

This one is so unfortunate to write about, considering that this was Bray Wyatt's final match, however we must be honest with ourselves in that this just wasn't a good match.

I loved the neon aesthetic, a lot easier on the eyes than the red light the Fiend used to have, however it still made it difficult to watch the action in the match, and on the topic of action, this match was a glorified squash match, with Knight only really getting a single table bump before falling victim to Wyatt's final sister abigail.

The purpose of this match seemed to be that of an introduction into Wyatt's new character, acting more as a plot device than a match (which is further elaborated on in the next match on the card) however was never explored further due to Wyatt's untimely passing.

Thankfully, Wyatt's final match wasn't in vain, as Knight benefitted a lot from the exposure of this match, leading him onto greater things later in the year, and if Wyatt's last match were to be at any instance, at least it was a marquee match on a big 4 PLE. Rest in peace Wyatt, thank you for all that you have done for this business and the world of Pro Wrestling, your memory will live on in the hearts of the entire world wide wrestling community.

Sadly, 2.5/5 **1/2

Alexa Bliss Vs Bianca Belair:-

I'm a huge Alexa Bliss fan, not as big of a Bianca fan in recent years due to her going Super Cena, however her work rate is absolutely phenomenal, so going into this match I was really expecting something special, a lightning fast pace with some spooky shenanigans typical of a 2020s Alexa Bliss match, what we got instead however was...none of that.

The match progressed at a snail's pace with no particularly big spots to speak of. The commentary for this match was also quite awful, from Pat MacAfee not recognising anything Alexa was doing, to the lack of acknowledgement of certain signature moves like Bliss' insult to injury (which she didn't do completely for some reason??) and her Bliss DDT, which, I must emphasise, she has been using as a FINISHER for the past 5 years now alongside Twisted Bliss and her recently acquired Sister Abigail, and overall, her performance looked unfortunately sloppy.

Bianca's performance didn't really help either as admittedly, she was getting her behind handed to her throughout the match with only a few bright spots before she hit the KOD, 1, 2, 3.

What a lackluster much with so MUCH potential, being made worse by the fact that they teased an angle with Bliss after the match relating to the Wyatt 6, however as you may know, nothing came out of it due to unfortunate circumstances and Bliss soon disappeared off of television as she got pregnant (congrats to Mama Bliss though I hope she's doing well) and as a result, this match was completely inconsequential.

1.5/5 *1/2

Women's Rumble:-

RHEA BLOODY RIPLEY! What an emphatic match; unlike the Men's match, this match had a mix of both surprises and match quality, with full time returns from Asuka under a "new" gimmick, Chelsea Green and Nia Jax, alongside a one off appearance from Michelle McCool.

Looking back at the returns, each returning superstar have made a significant impact throughout last year; Asuka, winning the EC, fighting Belair at WM39 and eventually winning the belt and joining Damage CTRL. Chelsea providing a breath of fresh air to the women's midcard and is most likely set for a massive push this year, and Nia Jax filling the role of a top monster heel in the women's division that can finally match up to Rhea. This Rumble was the start point for all of this.

The match itself was action packed from beginning to end, never a pause in the action. Rhea and Liv starting and ending the Rumble was an excellent choice and really helped elevate those 2 into main event caliber stars, especially by having them both gain the record for the longest lasting iron woman.

Damage CTRL's dominance was also a highlight of the match and really put them over as a threat to the division (more than their actual booking on TV has) and the way the whole match shifted once Nia Jax entered the ring was impeccable and really sold Nia as being the most dangerous individual in that ring.

Overall, not only was this match excellent in terms of match quality, the amount of stories and characters that were intertwined and established within the Rumble really make this match (arguably) the greatest Women's Rumble of all time and overall one of the best RRs of all time regardless of male or female.

5/5 *****

Roman Reigns Vs Kevin Owens:-

Ah yes, the yearly KO Royal Rumble title feud. Contrary to popular belief, I really enjoyed this match, not just for it's post-match segment, but for the actual content within the match itself.

Sure it wasn't the best match they've had (their last man standing match in RR 2021 being their best imo) but they delivered considering this match's overall purpose was to act as an angle for what was to come. The match was a back and forth affair until the end post low-blow, where Roman just began to torture KO leading to the finish and setting up beatdown yet to come.

I'd rate the match 3/5 *** but this isn't the end of this part of the post, as of course, this match is better remembered for what happened afterwards, the chair shot heard around the world.

Goodness, where do I start. The fact that a 15 minute mic-less segment could register so many emotions into the hearts of millions is astounding, however I'd expect nothing less from The Bloodline and Sami Zayn with how flawlessly executed the story has been up to this point, and I think it being mic-less added to the discomfort of the whole thing, with the crowd in a state of shocked silence as KO is chained and cut down by Solo and the Usos, with all Sami being able to do is watch.

Then, when that fateful moment arrived, when Sami struck Roman with a chair, a thunderous roar from the crowd echoed throughout the arena, reaching decibel levels unmatched since the Attitude Era.

As Roman slowly crumpled down onto his knees in the same fashion that he did when Seth struck him down the same way 9 years ago, it was set in stone, the bloodline had began to crumble.

The character work in this moment was brilliant, with Jimmy, who was the first person to accept Sami into the Bloodline, show no hesitation to attack him, with Solo following suite, while Jey, who Sami earned the trust of after initial discord between two, was left in state of disbelief, crying his eyes out, saying "Sami what are you doing man..." and soon exiting the ring, unable to attack the man he saw as a brother; to put it bluntly, this whole segment was poetry in motion.

It ends with the image of Sami and KO laying lifeless in the ring, bathed in the segments of the Ula Fala, officially starting the road to Wrestlemania and Sami and KOs quest for justice.

This segment is quite possibly one of the best (or even the greatest) segments of all time, and this really established the 2023 Royal Rumble as one of the greatest Royal Rumble PLEs/PPVs of all time.

Overall show rating: 8.5/10

Thank you for reading, peace out gang and see you on January 27/28 for the Royal Rumble!

[lnights]

If you're still doing requests can I request hurt/ comfort and Samy being badly hurt by someone and Taz comforting and caring for him 🥺 thank you! 🥰

This screams friendship for me, so here's a younger Samy & Taz

...

Taz waited for the buzz that would let him into the apartment building, playing on his phone.

He wasn't in Jyväskylä often, but he had helped a relative move and had finished earlier than he thought they would, so why not see a couple friends?

Ossi was out of town apparently, Mirko and Arttu working, but Samy was free, so why not?

As he was able to get in the front and made his way up to Samy's, his phone rumbled and he looked to see a message from Mirko:

M: Hey I saw in the group chat that you're hanging with Samy?

M: fair warning, he's in a bad spot right now. If you can keep him company until I'm off work at 4 I would appreciate it.

Taz read the message a couple times before knocking on Samy's door, wondering what could drag down the sunny 20 year old.

He certainly looked out of it when he opened the door, hair sticking out in every direction and clothes extremely rumpled, eyes puffy.

"Hey man," Taz said cautiously, "how you been?"

Samy gave him a wane smile, "oh same old, same old, you?"

"Uh, fine." He replied as he followed him in, the apartment like a physical manifestation of how Samy looked.

They made small talk for a while before Taz sighed and decided to ask him what was going on.

"My girlfriend and I broke up." Samy admitted, "last week I... I didn't see it coming."

"Well shit, sorry man." Taz sighed, "you two were together a couple years yeah?"

"Met in highschool," Samy nodded, swallowing hard, "apparently she's been cheating on me ever since then too."

Oh fuck.

Taz put down the beer he had been sipping and moved to sit by him on the couch, throwing an arm around his shoulders.

"Forget her," Taz told him, "cheaters aren't worth your time or tears, alright?"

Samy's shoulders shook a little, with a scoff or a sob he was unsure, so he pulled the younger man closer, his head against his chest while he regaled him with tales of his own previous relationships, the time he and Johnny had to carry Middy away so he wouldn't play Every Rose Has Its Thorns outside of his crush's bedroom window while drunk, that Archie talks a big game but hasn't kissed anyone in at least a year and a half.

Eventually he heard Samy's infectious laughter as the stories continued, laughing along with him and lost track of time until his phone went off.

M: Hey I have to stay a little late but I'll be there soon.

Taz looked down at his friend, laughing so hard he almost couldn't breathe, wide smile on his face and quickly made a decision.

T: Don't worry about it, I can head back to Helsinki tomorrow.

He wasn't going anywhere now.

[rvbelhearts]

@fromalegacy said : ❝  i don’t want you to be alone tonight and honestly,  i don’t really wanna be alone either.  ❞

“You know, if I knew my comin to Raw meant I was gettin my own personal bodyguard, I would have done it a long ass time ago.” He was making light of the situation, but in all honesty, Jey was glad Sami had his back, and was willing to stay with him for the night, because it honestly felt like he was looking over his shoulder every two seconds, just waiting for someone to seek out revenge on him. Had he expected to be welcome with open arms? Absolutely not because he’d done some pretty messed up shit when he was still doing Roman’s bidding, but all of that was in the past now.

He was a different man, and he wished everyone would give him a chance to show them that, instead of coming for his head from the jump, but at least he had Sami on his side. Despite everything, Sami was the one person Jey could always depend on to be there for him, even moreso than his own damn brothers. “Hey, I know I haven’t gotten a chance to tell you yet, but thanks for havin my back. Hope you know sticking by me is gone put a big ass target on your back. But yeah man, I don’t think I can take not being wit you tonight, but your ass better keep that loud ass snoring you be doin, in check!”

[suplexjones]

These are probably all ones you're already aware of but Idk how much you folkow WWE so baed on the Elite, I would say Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, and Ricochet and based on Kris and Willow, I would say Naomi/Trinity

The amount of knowledge I have of WWE is all gathered through gifs that my mutuals reblog. Unfortunately, there is so much wrestling I haven't seen.

I have seen a few matches from back when Sami was wrestling as El Generico and out of all the storylines I've been witnessing secondhand his is the one that I'd be most interested in.

I've never seen Trinity wrestle but her aesthetic is amazing. I'm a sucker for great gear and her glow in the dark look makes me want other people to step it up.

I know Finn from Bullet Club lore. Pretty sure I've seen him wrestle Kenny. But what sticks out most in my mind is seeing his look for Wrestlemania this year. Like I said, I think vibes are what draws me in first, but I think this one might be showing my monsterfucker tendencies lol.

Thanks for the ask 💜

based on my faves what wrestlers from different promotions do you think i'd like?

A Slept-On Review: WWE Smackdown 9/23/22

Note: to anyone who took the time to read my very emotional post last night, thank you.

The Bloodline Segment 

The entire Bloodline enters. It’s really cool to see them all together. I am unfortunately reminded of both the existence of Crown Jewel and that Roman is wrestling Logan Paul. Once again, Paul Heyman saves the day and my interest in the segment. Simply, “You don't boo the Wiseman”. Solo officially acknowledges Roman and they share a hug. It’s an excellent moment to see them being affectionate. It reminds me that they are, at the core, a family. Sami cuts the music as they all go to leave. Sami wanted to acknowledge Roman himself, and in the process, very awkwardly gets sentimental. Roman laughs, asks him why he is talking, and demands he remove his Bloodline shirt. The turn had arrived. Jey rips the shirt off of him, and you can tell Roman is breaking Sami’s heart. Then Roman gives it right back, along with Sami’s new honorary Uce shirt. Jey is pissed, but I loved every second. 

Liv Morgan vs Lacey Evans

Lacey looks weird and really shouldn't be here, but at least Liv gets some fire at her expense. She’s getting scary.  Lacey tries a kendo stick and is met with a wonky code breaker. Liv recovers and gets the pin We get an after-match attack, with Liv taking control of the kendo stick. She yells, “I can get extreme!” and launches Lacey into the barricade. Liv continues with a beautiful senton, sending Lacey through the table.

I still can't help but see her as a little baby, but Liv Morgan is showing she is capable, strong, and aggressive when she needs to be. I love her so much.

Backstage Segments

This all technically occurs throughout the episode in very small segments, but I’m going to summarize it all here to avoid breaking up the overall story. Hit Row and Street Profits are having a party backstage, and Shin joins them as an apparent “Sami Zayn” of the group. As they are joined by more of the roster, such as Sonya, Natalya, Angel, and Humberto. Angel and Humberto interrupt B-Fab’s conversation in what seemed to be an attempt at flirting with her. B-Fab snaps back, and soon after, Top Dolla forces the men to back down by slamming them into the ground. A match is set up for next week against the tag teams. It’s all fun to watch, and it’s a quick way of getting them in the ring with some sort of motivation. 

In another section of the backstage area, Madcap and Ricochet find Sami. I once again ask, why are these men partnered up now? They’re somehow buddies now, and it just does not work for me. They begin to basically bully Sami. They proceed to get obliterated by Solo for disrespecting Sami.

The New Day vs MMM

All my boys in one match! I already loved this from the moment it was announced. Also, the outfits on both teams are incredible. If you don't watch anything else, watch this match just for the aesthetics. MMM owns it for a while, and uses some really great cheeky heel work to gain advantages. However, New Day is able to sneak a smooth pin, and basically steal the victory. 

Otis vs Braun Strowman 

This was exactly what you'd expect if you know anything about these men, except not a squash. They throw themselves at each other and throw each other around. Braun has the momentum and an important storyline, so he gets the win.  But, he still gets a real fight. I see you HHH making good writing decisions. 

Drew McIntyre Promo 

Drew is here and has a leather strap. He calls out Kross and challenges him to a Strap match. Despite its bad name, it’s a fun concept. Instead of being attached at the neck like a Dog Collar match, they will be attached at the wrist. Kross enters, and we get a preview of Drew’s plans: big kicks and whipping. Scarlett intervenes, of course, with a fireball. I see that’s just what we’re doing when we need a woman to distract someone, especially if she’s creepy.  This isn’t enough to stop Drew, but a low blow works. I enjoyed it up until Scarlett’s intervention. Not because she intervened, but because it was disjointed. The fireball has been used, but even if that’s what we’re going for, the low blow felt childish and not the vibe they seem to be going for. 

We don't get very far into the match before shots Shotzi shows up to intervene. Raquel takes advantage of the distraction and gets the quick pin in. So a short match, which is especially disappointing in the women's division, but I don't mind how they did it this time as much as I usually do. It made sense and allows Shotzi to officially fill the spot of the injured Aliyah.  

The Usos vs The Brawling Brutes

I honestly forgot this match happened for a bit. It was another good but predictable match. It’s Interference city, with Sheamus and the Bloodline at ringside. At one point, Sami got a chair after frantically looking for something to help his new cousins just to be stopped by Sheamus which made for a very funny moment. The biggest problem? Imperium’s intervention. I didn't like it, but I am very biased here. I was hoping this could be a big moment for the Brutes, but Usos still retain.

[shanie-the-toyaddict]

Ok, I'm posting this here because maybe some of you can help me. I need a name. A guy's name. I'm trying to find a way to file off the fanfic serial numbers of this church state AU but I've yet to find anything that works as perfectly as Sami's actual name.

To be clear, this is why it works (with spoilers for the story)

Sami - actual name (that's a little left of Christian in its spelling and is also gender-neutral) Samuel - Supposed biblical given name Sammy - The good Christian nickname everyone thinks we're using Samael - Supposed demonic name once the people turn on him Samantha - Biblical given name for him disguised as a woman

As you can see, there's some insane stuff that goes on in this story, which is why I want to divorce it from fanfic. But I have yet to find a single name that I can substitute for Sami here that works this neatly.

So maybe you guys can help me? I dunno, send me some ideas. The biggest sticking points to it are the ability to transfer from a holy name to a demonic one with minimal alterations and the ability for it to be shortened into something that sounds Christian but is also vaguely gender-neutral. I can work around everything else.

The closest thing I've come up with so far is Raphael but that would give away the ending of the story in chapter friggin one so no go there.

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On The Run- Carl Gallagher

summary- reader is a milkovich who's dating carl. carl, reader, debby, mickey,ian, and lip are hanging out and laws get broke which results in them getting chased by the cops. (so if you watch shameless you know sami leaves in season 6 but for this imagine let's pretend she sticks around and mickey doesn't get arrested for trying to kill her.)

"I'm telling you that teacher had it out for me! She was a straight up asshole the day I started class." Mickey said before smoking his joint. We were currently in an abandoned building waiting for Ian, Lip, Mandy, and Carl. Mandy had to convince them to come while we scoped out places to break in. We settled on an abandoned building that the city owned and texted them the address. "Give me some of that." I said reaching for his joint. "No. Get your own!" "I would but Ian has the rest of them!" Mickey rolled his eyes and handed the joint over to me. "Thank you." I inhaled the drug just as Lip, Ian, and Carl walked in. I handed Mickey his joint back and jumped off the board I was sitting on to greet them. "Hey guys!" "What's up hot stuff!" Carl said greeting me with a kiss. "Seriously do you have to do that in front of me?" Mickey asked jumping down from the board himself. "You do it with Ian all the time. You can't be one to talk." Mickey rolled his eyes at me. "Hey you got the weed?" Mickey asked. Ian smiled and pulled a bag of it out of his backpack. "Awesome." Carl said staring at the sight. Lip, Ian, and Carl sat down next to us on the ground. "Here." Carl said handing me an already lit cigarette. We were all having a good time and talking when we heard voices outside the building. We shut up and listened until we heard the door open. "Officers I swear. I followed them here. They're hear with the two trashy Milkovichs." I heard Sami say. "We gotta get out of here like now." Lip whispered. "On the count of 3 split up and run." I nodded and grabbed my backpack that had beer in it. "1,2,3." Mickey counted causing us to get up and run in all different directions. I ran out the back with Carl but I still heard Lip yell "Stay the fuck out of our lives Sami!" "Come on we gotta get back to one of our houses." I nodded and continued running. "Hey kids stop!" I looked behind us to see cops. "Shit!" I said before grabbing Carl's hand so we wouldn't get split up. We got out 3 feet ahead of us before there was cops in front of us too. I looked to Carl and gave him a look saying that it was time to give up. "What do we got here? A Gallagher and a Milkovich running from the cops. I wonder why. Give us your bags." The cop stared at us for a minute. "Now!" "Fine!" I took the bag off my back and Carl took his off of his back. "What do we got here. Marijuana and alcohol. How old are you kids?" "16." I stated hesitantly. "Let's go. Your both under arrest." The cop said before motioning for two other cops to put handcuffs on our wrists. "We are so screwed." "Yeah that's one word for it."
