New Horizons (Park Seonghwa) (Ch. 3)

Chapter 3: Scorpions

Pairing: Park Seonghwa x Fem!Reader

Words: 3.5K+

Warning(s): insecurities and discussion of insecurities, angst, someone's rude to MC :( (None of the guys), slight hurt/comfort, dumbdumbs in love but dont realize each others feelings

A/N: Here is chapter 3. I think this one is the second hardest to write (The fourth chapter is kicking my ass rn). I'm not sure how I am feeling about this chapter? I had like three/four different ideas for it. Sooo I did a 'spin the wheel' and went with what it landed on for this lol. I feel like this is the weakest chapter but it has some charm. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy <3

Reader is implied to be living in the US bc uh TIMEZONES ARE FUCKY and i didnt realize how reliant i was on mine (PST) when looking up KST

Summary: Attempting an all-nighter while playing Animal Crossing alongside your bias, you didn't expect your turnip prices to be such a high amount... nor did you expect Park Seonghwa to actually accept your offer to sell his turnips on your island.

Series Masterlist | Navigation

"I can't tell her, Woo." Seonghwa sighed.

Wooyoung nearly ripped out his hair at the very similar phrase he has heard you tell him before. The others all groaned as they lounged around in the recording room, 10 minutes before they needed to start recording and re-recording lines for their last song on the next album.

It was now February, two months since Seonghwa figured out his feelings towards you that night you fell asleep on video call. He immediately told Wooyoung the next day he had been right and ever since then, the younger has been trying to push Hwa into confessing. He even tried assuring the older male that you most likely returned his feelings without giving away you told Wooyoung you developed a crush on Hwa just a few days before Hwa told him.

Woo's mind thought back to his conversation with you a week ago.

"I don't think he likes me like that, Woo. No matter how much you tell me." He heard you say with a dejected tone through the call. He had snuck away on his own during practice, having the choreography down before the others. "I mean, I met him as a fan. I don't want him to think I offered him to sell turnips for this outcome."

"I don't think he assumes any ulterior motives, (Y/N)." He said softly. "He speaks fondly of you."

"And that's another thing. He is Seonghwa. He is the super kind, very lovable, handsome, and talented guy who loves to mimic his villagers, build Legos, and is an all around great person. It's hard not to fall in love with him... and then there is me. The average looking, college student working at the local bookstore. I feel so inadequate-"

"Hey. Don't speak like that about yourself." He scolded, his tone and facial expression serious. "You are amazing. You are beautiful. You've been a great friend and we all deeply appreciate and love you."

"Sorry." You sigh. "I just... I want to believe you, but it's hard, you know?"

"I get it, I do. Just... keep thinking on it, okay?" Wooyoung smiled sadly. He could see the self-doubt was still eating at you and his words didn't fully penetrate the self-conscious wall you built up. He just hoped you'd keep holding out long enough for him to try and push Seonghwa into confessing.

"Okay, why not then?" Yuhno asked, exasperated.

"It's clear she only views me as a friend. And I am fine with that."

"You don't know that for sure, hyung." San offered a kind smile.

"Are you guys sure (Y/N) likes me like that?" Hwa gave them each a pointed look. Everyone tried arguing that it was clear to them you did, though the only one who knew for sure was Wooyoung. "I... I truly come to appreciate her and every time we speak I feel like I am falling further and further for her. She is sweet, funny, gorgeous, and I feel my heart is always about to burst when talking with her..."

"He's a love sick puppy." Yeosang teased, making everyone chuckle. The eldest's face adorned a bright blush but he made no attempt argue against the notion.

"It's adorable seeing you crush so hard on someone, hyung." Mingi cooed.

"Why not try and talk to her now? It should be..." Hongjoong looked at the time, seeing that it was nearly 10am for them. "... about 6pm for her. Try gauging her feelings for you and bring up wanting her to visit next month for her spring break."

"I don't know..." The eldest unlocked his phone and had your contact pulled up. Wooyoung immediately moved spots and sat next to Seonghwa.

"Seonghwa-hyung, just go for it. We are all here cheering you on." Jongho smiled softly and the others nodded in agreement.

"And its not like your confessing now either. We've told you the signs, now watch for them." Wooyoung added. The others decided to join in on the call, hoping to catch anything that gave away you had feelings for their friend.

Seonghwa took in a deep breath before slowly exhaling as he pressed the call button. He felt two large hands on both shoulders pat him and give a firm squeeze as he slowly extended his arm to make sure everyone could be visible to some extent. He felt anxiety building up with each ring, waiting anxiously for you to pick up.

They all smile when you finally pick up. You were sitting at your desk, adding what looked like the finishing touches of your makeup on your face. You looked at the camera with a small smile before you looked down, picking up a tube of lipstick.

"Hello boys. Usually you text me before you start a call. What's going on?" You ask, eyes flickering to the phone again before you focus on your hand mirror.

Seonghwa felt Wooyoung nudge him off camera. "I wanted to check in on you, (Y/N), and they all decided to join me."

"Aw, really?" Your face seemingly brightened at the fact and the eldest could feel Jongho on his left excitedly tap his leg.

"Compliment her, Hwa." Hongjoong hissed into his ear, a toothy grin was on his face as an attempt to mask any suspicion.

"Did one of you say something?"

"O-oh it must of cut out." Seonghwa nervously chuckled. "I said you look amazing. Is there a special occasion going on?"

You got a bit bashful and smiled, though everyone could tell it didn't fully reach your eyes. "I got asked out on a date."

Seonghwa felt like he was punched in the gut.

But his face remained soft with a smile.

"Really? Who is the person?" He asked, his voice steady.

The others eyed him in concern but did their best to mask it while on video.

"His name is Charlie. He is in my English course this semester. We worked on some in-class assignments together a few times before he asked me out today."

"I'm happy to hear. Well, we better get going. We are about get to recording." Hongjoong could pick up some shakiness in Hwa's voice. "Have fun and please periodically message me, just to give me peace of kind on your safety."

"Thank you, Seonghwa, and I will." You gave them a wave goodbye before hanging up the phone.

It was silent in the room. Seonghwa slowly lowered his arm, resting his phone and hands in his laps. The smile he had dropped just as slowly as he took in a deep, trembling breath.

"Hwa, are you okay?" Hongjoong hesitated, placing his hand on his friends shoulder.

"Yes. I'm fine, Joong." He asserted, getting up from the couch.

"Are you sure?" San asked.

Languidly, the eldest turned to face the rest. Their breaths caught in their throats. His eyes were full of tears, his lips were quivering as he still maintained his smile.

"I told you guys I am just a friend to her. And I will be fine with that." He sniffled, one tear rolling down his cheek. He hastily wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. "Please, lets drop it and get work done today."

"Of course, hyung." Yuhno spoke with a comforting voice and stood up, wrapping an arm around the older males shoulders. "Lets grab some waters together." Carefully, the taller of the two led Hwa out of the room. The second the door closed, everyone exhaled.

"Maybe...Maybe we were wrong." Jongho mumbled.

"No we weren't." Wooyoung insisted, pulling out his phone.

"Wooyoung-" San tried to speak but the younger male kept talking.

"We weren't! (Y/N) told me herself she likes Seongwa!" The others watched as he called you, pressing speakerphone.

The phone rung a few times when they hear the line click.

"It's just me, (Y/N)." Woo gave the others a look to be quiet. "What was that? What do you mean date?"

"Exactly that, Youngie." You sighed, your voice sounding as if it lacked any confidence.

"But you like Seonghwa... You love him."

"... I do." The others in the room looked at each other in shock, their eyes wide.

"Then why did you agree to the date, (Y/N)?"

There was a moment of tense silence before you spoke again, starting your sentence off with a sniffle.

"Because I can't logically believe he likes me the same way. He just see's me as a friend and I just feel so inadequate to be on any level with him." You faltered. "I don't have any particular feelings for Charlie but I... I just wanted to try to get over loving Hwa."

"(Y/N)..."

"I need to get going Woo. I'll... message you tomorrow." Before he could say anything more you hung up.

The room was just as tense as before. No one knew what to say. Wooyoung pressed his lips tightly together as he kept his own tears at bay. When they heard the door open everyone else started getting up and getting ready to start recording. Seonghwa looked to have calmed down. Wooyoung refused to look at his oldest hyung until he could calm down.

---

After the video call with Ateez and the call with Wooyoung, you decided to try to to push any negative thought aside and finish getting ready. You put together a outfit that wasn't too fancy but still looked nice. You styled your hair the way you liked most for things like this. Overall, despite the heavy heart, you felt cute. You left your place with an Uber, figuring you may have something alcoholic to drink, with enough time to get to the restaurant on time, sending a message to Seonghwa letting him know you were heading there...

You glanced at the clock on your phone for the umpteenth time. It had been an hour since your uber dropped you off at the restaurant, 50 minutes since you were sat down at a table, and 35 minutes since that sinking feeling in your gut that you had been stood up started kicking in.

You sighed dejectedly as you finished paying for the meal you ordered. You may have been stood up but you weren't going to let that stop you from a nice meal. Luckily your waitress was kind and nobody paid you much mind. You felt that any pity sent your way would make you feel worse.

You slowly walked outside the restaurant, your phone out as you get ready to order another uber, when you heard loud cackling. Your head turned to the left and just a few cars down in the parking lot was Charlie in a car full of people. They were all laughing and looking at you.

It felt like a bucket of ice water was poured over you.

Ignoring them and the button to confirm the uber, you started walking in the direction of your apartment. You needed to get away. You could feel your chest tightening with humiliation and panic.

"Oh come on, (Y/N). It was a joke!" You heard Charlie yell but you just kept walking. You heard the car roar with life and could hear from their rolled down window various jokes directed at you.

They all cackled and decided that was enough teasing. Charlie then nearly squealed his tires as he drove away. The tears you kept at bay finally spilled over. You hiccupped as you glanced down at your phone. It was 8pm for you, which meant it would be around noon for him.

You didn't think, really. You just knew you needed to hear his low toned, comforting voice. You opened your phone and immediately dialed Seonghwa, pressing your cell to your ear as you walked back to your place. You felt pathetic but you knew you needed to speak to someone or else you would be a sobbing mess if you were left to stew.

---

It was lunch time in the canteen area at KQ when Seonghwa heard his phone ring. His brows furrowed when he saw your name on the screen. He finished his last bite and quickly wiped off any possible crumbs on his hands with a napkin.

"Didn't she leave for her date like an hour ago?" Mingi tilted his head, everyone else had a confused look.

Seonghwa pressed the green answer button and raised his phone to his ear.

"(Y/N)?" His voice with smooth and low. "You're calling me so soon-"

"Seonghwa..." He heard your voice trembling, making him freeze. His face must of gave away to the others something was wrong, as they stared at him intently.

"Hold on, (Y/N). Let me go somewhere private." He quickly got up fron his seat and wasted no time getting into the hallway where there were less people. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"I-I got stood up." You sniffled.

"What?"

"I sat there for an hour looking like a fool. And then... And then I went to leave and I saw him outside in his car with his friends." Seonghwa could feel his blood start to boil with anger. "They laughed at me. They made fun of me." He could hear you take in a shuddering breath.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm walking home..."

"How long until you get back?"

"Maybe... Maybe 10 or 15 more minutes?"

"Stay on the phone with okay? I want to make sure you get home safe." He needed to take deep breaths to stay calm. In the corner of his eye he saw the others leave the canteen, though they stayed back, giving him and you some privacy.

"I just don't get what I did wrong to-"

"You did nothing wrong, (Y/N). Don't start blaming yourself for some asshole's behavior." He glanced to his friends, feel a pinch of confidence. "You are a wonderful person. It's his loss."

There was silence for a moment.

"Did I interrupt work?" You asked in a small voice.

"No, I was just finishing lunch. Did you eat?"

"I had something small after I realized he wasn't showing up." Hwa felt some relief when he heard your voice getting steady. "I'll probably have some ice cream when I get home."

"It better not be mint chocolate chip." He joked and smiled when he heard you giggle. "You really did look amazing, by the way. You should send me and the group chat any selfies if you took any. I'm sure the others would like to see the full look."

"Really?" Your voice was meek.

"I would never lie to you... You truly look beautiful. You always do."

"Thank you, Hwa. I really needed to hear that, especially from you." He could hear your voice tremble again.

"Don't start crying because of me, jagiya." He gently teased, the petname slipping out seamlessly.

"Where are the others?"

"They are watching me down the hallway I'm in." He looked over and saw that they were still there. Wooyoung, San, and Jongho kept their eyes on him while the others were looking at their phones, occasionally looking back at the eldest.

"Am I keeping-"

"I want to be talking with you. They can all wait." Seonghwa huffed, which pulled a giggle from you. He was glad he was able to get you to cheer up, even if it was a miniscule amount. "They are very concerned for you though."

"You can tell them what happened. Woo will bug me when he can until I tell him."

"He is good at that isn't he?"

"Too good." You snort.

There was another moment of silence before Hwa spoke again.

"How close are you to home?"

"Uh..." You pause. "I'm pretty close. I'm passing the park thats nearby. I'll probably be there in two minutes."

"Good." He hummed. "I'm glad you called me."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. Besides enjoying the sound of your voice, I am glad you felt comfortable enough during this vulnerable time to reach out to me. It warms my heart."

"I'm glad you answered."

"For you? Always. Well, unless I am on stage or Joong is lecturing us." He couldn't help but beam when he got you to laugh again.

"I see my apartment. I'm walking up to the door now." Hwa heard your keys jingle in your hand. "I'll let you go now. Thank you for everything, Hwa."

"It wasn't a problem at all. I'll check in on you when I have the time okay?"

"You don't have to." He faintly heard you unlocking the door and then heard the door close.

"I want to." He smiled. "Get comfortable, have that ice cream, and smile for me okay, (Y/N)? I'll talk to you soon. Have a goodnight in case you fall asleep."

"Have a good rest of your day, Hwa." There was a lingering pause before you ended the call.

Seonghwa let out a deep sigh, his face dropping into a scowl as he pocketed his phone. The rest of Ateez took that as a sign to approach him. They nearly froze when they saw the angry look on his face.

"I'm going to need one of you to stop me from buying plane tickets right now." Hwa muttered.

"What happened?"

"Why are you so upset?"

"Is (Y/N) okay?"

Were questions all asked at the same time.

"Let's get back to the recording studio first." Hongjoong offered. It took a lot of restraint for them to not run down the hallways.

The second that door closed to the studio, everyone turned to look at Seonghwa, who still looked pissed off. He sat down on the couch staring past the glass that viewed the recording booth. He needed to take a moment to calm himself down.

"Did something happen to our dear (Y/N)?" Wooyoung sat next to the older male, looking at him with desperate eyes.

"She called me crying, saying her date stood her up." Seonghwa finally spoke. Everyone let out shocked noises and some curses. "That's not even the worst of it. She said he and his friends were waiting for her to come outside to make fun of her."

Wooyoung pulled out his cellphone. "I'm buying you and I plane tickets."

"Count me in, I want to beat that guys ass for making her upset." San sat on the other side of Seonghwa.

Hongjoong quickly snatched Wooyoung's phone.

"Hey-!"

"You won't be making a spontaneous trip to her place and you all are definitely not going off to fight this guy." He said, using his captain voice.

"Come on, hyung. It'll be worth it." Jongho tried bargaining but quickly stopped at the look he got from their leader.

"Seonghwa." Seonghwa's attention was on Hongjoong's face after he called his name. "You already did most of your recording today. Unless you want to hang out with those who still need to record and need to re-record, or do some choreography practice with Yuhno, you should head back to the dorm and spend some time with (Y/N)."

"Thank you, Joong." Seonghwa smiled and gathered his belongings.

"We want to spend time with her too." Wooyoung whined.

"Too bad. You're assisting Yuhno after you re-record your lines." The eldest male smiled at his friends playful banter as he left the room.

He quickly fished out his cell and called you as he walked down the hallway. He was heading to his managers office to get home. He wasn't entirely sure if he had the confidence to confess right now, nor did he want to spring on a confession to you after the night you had... but he wanted to let you know he would be there for you. That he would never let you feel less than or alone. That stupid guy lost his chance and Hwa wanted to be the one treasure you. He was going to confess and tonight would be the start to his plan to do so.

"Seonghwa?" Your voice sounded confused when you quickly answered.

"Hongjoong is giving me the rest of the day off. Do you want to watch a movie with me? Or we can play Animal Crossing? Whatever you want, I want to do it with you." He took in a deep breath. "I'll even pick up mint chocolate chip ice cream and we can eat it together."

You laughed. "Sure, I would love that."

There was a pause in the conversation. Seonghwa was now waiting in front of the manager's office.

"I have a question for you, (Y/N)." He wanted to wait for later to ask his question but Seonghwa felt he had the confidence to ask now.

"What is it?"

"You said you took time off work for your spring break next month, right?"

"Yes, I have the Friday before that week off to Monday after it. Why do you ask?"

"Come visit me." He was shocked he got it out.

"What?"

"Come to Korea and visit me. I'll help pay for the flight and you can stay with us at the dorm. Is the issue with your passport?"

"My passport is fine." You sighed and took a moment before speaking again. "Are you sure, Hwa? Are the others okay with that? What about-"

"Everything will be fine. The others, our manager, and I have already discussed this in length and will probably want to discuss with you later."

"Well..." You didn't speak, which had Seonghwa feeling rejection would soon follow. "I would love to."

"...Is this a yes?"

"Yes it is." You chuckled. "I've been actually thinking of planning a visit after I graduate in May, but honestly, the sooner the better."

"Make sure to message the others about this, they'll be so happy." He smiled, unable to hide his excitement. "I am about to leave the office here soon. I will call you when I am back at the dorm."

"Get back safely."

"Of course. I will talk to you soon."

"And- Fuck!" You swore loudly.

"Is something wrong?" Worry seeped into his veins at how your voice sounded.

"I got stung by scorpion while island hopping."

In line with my last post about getting good endings with companions, the writing of The Emperor really stands out in how it defies the expectations we have as players of a game of this nature. He's a very well written character who definitely wades through the very grey areas of morality and bends the truth so much he leaves you wondering just how much he's bought into his own lies,as well.

Major spoilers beneath the cut.

If you go through the same steps you do with other characters, endlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt, leaning into his comparisons of you to himself, helping him reminisce at the Elfsong. He seems to open up. You bring him back to his old home, seemingly listening to emotional secrets of his. All this culminating in him professing love for us. We expect this. It seems to be progressing normally as an ally would in a game. To the point where many might even kill the Gith prince for him.

So those who don't do so feel blindsided by his willingness to abandon us to join the elder brain the instant we won't do exactly what he asks.

But playing again, I picked options I wouldn't normally. I called him out for secrecy. I pressed him for the truth even when it seemed to truly hurt him.

And I didn't like what I found.

The Emperor is manipulative in such an organic way. He first pretends to be someone else entirely, but, when revealed, constantly poses himself as being at your mercy or otherwise making himself vulnerable to you. Every time he's caught in a lie, he says "ok this was a lie I had to keep to protect himself but only because it was basically the truth just with little details left out" and he does that again and again, each time pushing the truth a little farther, all while still insisting he has never lied to you.

He pretends that you just wandered into the prism in your dream because he was distracted and lonely, then he shows you little trinkets with cute stories attached at the Elfsong, giving you gifts in the form of his old armor and sword. He speaks so fondly of Duke Stelmane and acts so saddened by her death, then when you next see him in your dreams, he isn't wearing a shirt. All these things that make him seem so vulnerable. Like he's bared everything about himself.

Except he hasn't actually revealed anything. He tells you he was just some adventurer even though he knows how important who he was is to your quest. He acts like he and Stelmane were partners or friends. He never tells you anything about him, just anecdotes to make him seem relatable. Nothing but soft words to soften your heart and lower your guard.

And any time you express distrust or ask for proof or for him to be honest with you, he gets upset, he acts as though you are the one being cruel and unreasonable. As if you are hurting him after he made himself vulnerable for you.

So feels bad to select any dialogue choice that calls him out. That accuses him of what you suspect in your mind. Of what all the little red flags point to:

"You do a good impression of a human. But it's just an act, isn't it?"

And finally the facade comes down. He finally lets you see his thoughts. See something besides the story he concocted.

You see him torturing Stelmane, breaking her mind and reducing her to an empty shell. The same scenes he showed you before of them in a friendly partnership play again, this time revealing that she was just a glassy eyed puppet, her mind torn apart so he could use her body to serve him and control the city in secret.

"Be glad my methods have improved" he says. And tells you you were never anything but his puppet. That you never had a choice and you will not get a choice. That you are his thrall as much as Stelmane was.

And it feels like a real betrayal. Because he does a good job of acting the part. Even knowing you will mistrust him, even intending to mistrust him, you fall for at least pieces of it. And looking back the signs seem obvious and you see his you ignored them. Because that's how it was supposed to work. You were supposed to allow him to be vulnerable with you and be rewarded with his trust.

And that's exactly what he wanted you to think.

Ohhh my gaddd I've just read one of your ask and something just came in my mind like a freaking meteor. So in one of your fanfic where you mention that we might not remember a man with a big hat but surely he did. What if we are the reason why Scaramouche trusted dottore in the first place (sorry I don't know a lot about Scaramouche lore 😭😭😭) like what if Scaramouche saw us sleeping in a hidden room of Dottore's palace, he's just wandering until he stumble at the door where Dottore always go often which is weird because as far as he know Dottore never spend his time on anything other than his experiment and he has an entire basement(or palace even) to have an another one 3 floor above his main lab, so to answer his question he open the door and there he saw a body of someone in a bed like contraption that has some strange enchantment (this enchantment helps your body to not rot or age as the time past, it will be a bother some if it's some preserving liquid because Dottores likes to cuddle with your sleeping body as a stress relieved) he looked at the entire room and he sees all the picture of you and Dottore when you both are still in the akademiya, he saw how Dottore's eyes have become warmer and softer until he stumble to the last picture, this is the last picture he took before you fall to a long coma, he look at you with care and sadness and he knew damn well what the eye of a wishing, wanting man looks like and he can see it clearly in the akademiya Dottore' eyes. He looks more in the room stumbling into some trinkets, letters, paintings, poetry and different instruments that he's sure damn well that it didn't belong to Dottore judging with the clean writing and heart doodles. He looked more until he heard Dottore opening the door Both were shocked to see each other in this place, a lot of confronting and Dottore being angry and frustrated to see a coworker experiment being at the same room with his beloved the love of his life, his only life, the only humanity inside of him, his obsession, his beloved, did I say love of his life? But Scaramouche's curiosity is stronger and he asked him who's this human and he's shocked, because Dottore' speaks so fondly about you, for the very first time he saw an actual emotion in Dottore's word, it's very weird but at the same time it solidifies the trust he wants to give to Dottore because despite everything he is, he is still a human~♡

YES I THINK ABOUT THIS TOO EXCEPT MY INTERPRETATION IS A BIT DIFFERENT...

Human emotions are the thing Scaramouche believes to be his downfall, his weakness that he despises. And he knows for a fact Dottore was the same way, lacking obvious empathy for his test subjects and people in general, Scara included. In fact, Dottore was worse than him, at least he still held a certain fondness for kids and the elderly... Dottore on the other hand did not have anything of the sort. So for him to find out Dottore had a lover... comes as a shock to him. Though I doubt Scara would be able to find your room (Dot keeps that highly guarded and shi 😭) he might overhear some murmurs of your name from the segments. And while normally he wouldn't care at all... they don't speak of you as if you're a test subject. Scaramouche knows well very, after all, of their tone with their... experiments. However if he did happen to find you or evidence of you, he'd be met with a sharp, cutting tone and no information whatsoever. Dottore wouldn't let a mere experiment pry into his personal affairs.

If you happen to wake up while he's still in the Fatui, he really wouldn't understand Dottore's obsession with you. You are nothing special. You're really just another mere human, trying to fight the fate of mortality that you were born with. No particular outstanding qualities... he doesn't understand what Dottore sees in you. The moment Scaramouche walked into the lab and he wasn't immediately harassed by one of the clones, he knew something was up. Usually, they had already prepared everything so that they could do those... "experiments" torture on him. Yet there wasn't any of that today. Because, as he found out, there was another guest in the lab of far more importance. You had woken up. Usually the segments would be scattered throughout the lab, but in this rare occurrence, they were all practically crowding you. You're the first one to notice the puppet, and you oh so casually tug on one of the segment's sleeves to alert him. He's met with the entirely disinterested expressions of the clones and "you are not needed now." Scara scoffs and leaves, but the sight leaves questions in his mind that he doesn't necessarily need answers to... but it's something to ponder.

After all of that, I still don't think he'd trust you or Dottore one bit. He doesn't trust anyone in general for that matter. You might be just as bad as the Doctor... he doesn't know, because there is no opportunity to talk to you as you are never alone. And Dottore is a whole other person normally. But Scara does think, human emotions are truly one of the worse things there are, for even the Doctor is affected by them... which may lead to his downfall, one day.

#smooches talks #fragile reader <3 #dottore love notes <3 #scara wouldnt like either of you for obvious reasons 🤷‍♀️#still i find it interesting his pov of you since he really cant see anything special about you that the mad doctor would actually like #regardless mhm i love this brainrot #“I suggest you speak to me in a more respectful tone Scaramouche” moment

Hello, since you’re requests are open, I was wondering if I could request Gamin Yoon, Geonyeob Park, and Hanwool Phi (separately) reacting time their s/o asking them, “what would you do if I disappeared?” Hope this makes sense!

Thank you for your request!

[ Gamin Yoon, Geonyeob Park, Hanwool Phi x Gn! Reader ] - "What would you do if I disappeared?"

It was dark that day, and the both of you were seated beside each other as you both looked and peered at the endless beautiful night sky. The emotions that were burdening you for a while now finally were let out of their confinement in your chained and locked up heart, you look on over to your side to see them dozing off under the night sky.

His figure hunched over the green meadow, with the night sky as its blanket, you furrowed your brows and continued staring, "What? Is something on my face?" You fondly shake your head as you turned away from his burning gaze and your eyesight fell onto the sky again.

"Nothing, I just wanna ask you something." He hums in a contemplative manner, "What is it?"

"What would you do if I disappeared?"

Gamin Yoon:

The man stared at you with wide eyes and pulled you close towards him, his eyes that were crystally covered with his glasses were now boring. It gaze into your very being, it makes you nervous, "What?" He asks you as if unsure of what he heard, he was making sure if he heard you right.

"I said, what would you do if I disappeared?" Confirming that was your question, he looks at you seriously without breaking eye contact, "I won't do anything." Your eyes slightly widened from his answer, you were quite hurt by that.

"Wow, thanks." You rolled your eyes as you tried to push Gamin's figure but prove to be difficult with how strong he is, "because you won't be leaving my side," you stop pushing him and stared at him with doubt-filled eyes, "really?" He nodded his head, his forehead was now on yours as he close his eyes in a comforting manner, "Yes." You know Gamin Yoon by heart now with how long you spent with each other.

And you know that you should take Gamin's words by heart.

Geonyeob Park:

Looks at you as if his trauma was coming back to life, you have to assure him that you won't leave, he held your hands tightly with no intention of letting go, "Is it by your own will or others?" You cock your head to the side with his question, a hum left your lips as you look at his light gray eyes filled with contempt for the world and nervousness that the faithful night that loses his entire being will happen again.

"Hmm, I don't know, haven't thought of that yet." He looks at you dumbfoundedly as he sighs, his thumb was now lightly stroking the inner of your palm with a gentle touch, and his eyes sparkled with unshed tears, he hates feeling vulnerable like this, but if it's you then he doesn't mind, "Then what if it's by my own will?"

He hums, "Then I just need to lock you up," you laugh happily, your head rolling to the back before meeting his gaze again, seeing him all serious makes you swallow your saliva down your esophagus, "Wait really?" He nodded before pulling you closer to him, you can feel every scar and wound on his body as he hugs you closer and deeper.

"That's not healthy you know, then what if it's by others," You shivered as you felt his smile on your shoulder, "Then I just need to kill them."

Hanwool Phi:

Will grab you and shake you, "What? What did you say just now? Did my father threaten you? That fucking-" You choke on your spit as your entire vision shook and dallied around, your eyes were shaking due to the dizziness creeping up to your head, you hold his wrist that was intent on shaking you to your core.

"Calm down, I'm about to die due to you shaking me so much," he stopped immediately at the word die, he took a bottle of water and handed it over to you, "Okay, now what do you mean by that." He raised his eyebrows at you questioningly as you continued sipping the water he handed over.

"I was just hypothetically speaking," he hums, "Do you think you can get away from me?" You rolled your eyes at his condescending tone, before pointing at the flier that was on his car, the study group it read. "Yeah, if I seek Gamin Yoon's help that is."

You flinch at his warning gaze that was boring into you, you let out a nervous laugh as you cough into your fist, "just kidding, you know I like to play around." He rolled his eyes at your lame excuse, "Uh-uh, does playing around involve asking a question that can potentially foreshadow your death?"

"Okay, good point."

My Stardew Valley OC's ship lore

Been wanting to do this one for a while! Sorry if it's messy, I wrote it straight into tumblr with no planning.

Stacy x Shane

• At first, both didn't really like each other. Stacy was the one who, despite finding socializing difficult, put in the effort to make friends with him.

• During the 2 heart cutscene, Stacy tells him she used to feel hopeless, too. Tells him she's starting to heal, and that he shouldn't give up. He doesn't take the advice to heart.

• During the 4 heart cutscene, Stacy barely speaks. But the look on her face says it all. Worry overflowed her teary eyes. "Hopefully I won't be around long enough to need a 'plan'.." Shane gets slapped across the face. "Don't you dare even think of such a thing!" Tears streamed down Stacy's face. Jas ran to her room, sobbing. None of them had noticed she was listening. Instant regret.

• In a rainy summer evening, Stacy was heading back to the farm though Cindersap Forest. She stumbled upon a trail of beer cans and ran along it, desperation starting to make it's way into her heart. The trail led to the cliff edge where Shane was.

"Stacy... I-I'm sorry..." Shane said, between hiccups. "My life... It's a pathetic joke...Look at me..." Stacy kneeled in front of him, not knowing what to do. "Why do I even try?" Shane questioned, sobbing. "I'm too small and stupid to...to take control of my own life... I've been coming here often...looking down... But I'm too scared, just like always..." Stacy gripped his hand. She felt a knot in her throat as he continued. "Stacy...All I do is work, sleep and drink...to...to dull the feelings of self-hatred. Why should I even go on? T-Tell me why I shouldn't roll off this cliff right now..."

Stacy recalled the time when she didn't feel like enough, when she worked until she passed out, when she didn't have anyone to talk to, when nobody seemed to care. Choosing her words carefully, she told him what she would have wanted to hear back then:

"The decision is yours. Just know that I'm here and I always will be, and that you can count on me for whatever."

Shane's teary eyes widened. "Thanks...I appreciate that...I really do." he paused. "...I think you should take me to the hospital now."

With great difficulty, Stacy carried an unconscious Shane to Harvey's office.

Suzy x Alex

• They bonded over gridball literally in their first meeting. Great friendship material.

• A few weeks after moving in, Suzy decided she deserved a break and went to the beach. It seemed someone else had gotten there first, though.

"Oh, hi. Suzy, right?" Alex asked.

"Yup. What are you up to?" Suzy responded. "Just enjoying this great weather." he paused. "Hey, go long!"

Suzy took a few steps back, and caught the ball Alex threw.

"Nice catch!" he said.

"Your throw was great!" she complimented back.

"Thanks. You know, I'm gonna be the first professional gridball player from Stardew Valley...There's no doubt in my mind."

Suzy looked at Alex, who was now staring onto the horizon.

"I already led my school's team to the regional playoffs... Now I'm just training so I can get a spot on the roster of the Zuzu City Tunnelers. You just wait!"

Smiling fondly, Suzy said:

"I believe in you."

"Thanks, Suzy. I'll remember that."

• As they start talking more, they share bodybuilding tips, book suggestions (mostly on Suzy's part), and plans for the future.

• During the 4 heart cutscene, Suzy was shocked. She had never imagined what Alex had been through.

"You seem like someone I can trust...That's why I'm telling you this, Suzy. I don't want any sympathy. If there's anything good about my past, is that it's made me strong."

She pat his back as she said:

"That it sure did."

"Now, let me show you what Dusty will do for a barbecued steak." he chuckled, holding a large piece of meat in front of the drooling dog, who was clearly super excited.

• "Oh, hello dear! How have you been?" Evelyn said, as Suzy stepped in through the front door after a few knocks.

"I'm alright! Things on the farm are going pretty well. How have you and George been?" Suzy replied.

"Thank you for asking, dear. We're doing well! What brings you here today?"

"See, I found these leeks while foraging and thought I'd drop by to give you some." Suzy said, taking out a few leeks from her backpack and gently placing them on the kitchen counter. "I also haven't seen Alex in a while. Is he here?"

"Oh, yes, he's just in his room! You can go right ahead. Thank you for the leeks, dear!" Evelyn responded.

"No prob!" Suzy said, turning to the corridor in front of the entrance.

Reaching the end, she knocked on the door to her right.

"Come in!" Alex said.

He was standing in front of the bookshelf in his room, looking a little gloomy.

"What's wrong, Alex?" Suzy asks.

Alex sighed. "Look at all these books... I haven't read a single one of them..." He picked a random book off the shelf, examining it's cover.

"But I guess you can't make a living in this world if you don't have brains..." Alex said, putting the book where it was originally.

"...I'm worthless."

Suzy looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and sympathy. She took a deep breath and said:

"Listen, man. Everyone's got their strenghts and weaknesses. Just because you're not good at one thing doesn't mean you're worthless." She placed her hands on his broad shoulders.

"I've seen your skills with that gridball, and they're on par with the pros. You could make it into the Zuzus if you tried." She said, letting out a smile.

"And if that doesn't work out- guess what? You got me here to help you out with studying, job hunting and whatnot!" Suzy complemented.

If he doesn't marry you, that is. (Stop it!)

"...Thanks, Suzy." He said, his eyes sparkling in that way she loves so much. "I mean it. You're a great friend." He now had a warm smile upon his face.

"Thanks. I try to be." She let go of his shoulders, turning her gaze to the ground as she smiled and her cheeks turned a little red.

author note : I'm still trying my best to write better hahaha I'm new to this I'm just writing for fun and I hope you liked my ideas! 🫶🏻

THE STORY IS SET IN 1987!

and yes I remove the part where Eddie DIDN'T DIE! 😤

while walking passed by the basketball court- you saw Lucas lowingly his head down even though you can't see his face he looks like he's having a bad time

Your face softens and you walk towards to him

"It's everything, okay?"

He raise his head up and blink his tears away and shakes his head "y-yeah, everything is fine."

"No- it's not" you snort

He blushes creeps up into his cheeks in embarrassment of lying poorly as he chuckles slightly "Yeah" he scratches the back of his neck

You sat down beside him

You and Lucas enjoyed each other's slience for a moment

Until you decide to break it "So, what's up?"

He looks over to varsity players and it seems like they're having fun with the other basketball players without him

You follow his gaze and you huffed and at that point you already know what's going on

Lucas turns his head at you and decides to speak up about it "I really thought I had the place to be in their world after I won the championship game."

All of you are in that day, all of you are present and Lucas smiles so widely when he sees you're also there as well! He is so happy all of his friends are there

after the game- you congratulated him and celebrate for a moment until he decides to spend it with his new found friends

Until it went all wrong from what he expected

"I get that, I've been there before, you know" both of his eyebrows raise together as he totally forgotten you're in that exact position like he was before and he feels sorry for bringing up something that is very unpleasant

"Oh- god, I'm sorry- I didn't mean to- you cut him off

"No, it's okay, it's their loss actually" you scoffed "depends on the person too, it just so happens that you end up with a douche like them" you gesture to the school jocks

Lucas glances back at them and he frowns

"They only acknowledge your existence when you done something that gains them and after that they ignored you like nothing ever happened."

Lucas shifts his seat and he swallows because all of what you just said is right- that's exactly what happened to him after the championship game- he is just a shadow like he doesn't matter

"That's why I stopped pushing myself to be in their world when there's other more people who can truly support you and love you for what you just did- I was like fuck this I'm out- I'm going to find better people than them." You throw your hands up and laugh

Lucas laughs too and he smiles fondly as his mind wonders one thing.... his friends- Eddie, Dustin, Mike, Will, Jeff and Gareth, Max and even you...

"You're right, Amanda" he nods at you "at first I wanted to be like them, I've had enough like the rest of my life I was bullied and I wanted to change that but after I spend months with them- I realized I was wrong-" he forehead scrunches as he remembers how they treated Eddie and his friends and they're we're so mean to them and so harshly bad at them like what's the point of being popular if you're just being a dick to everyone? and also spreading lies about their Hellfire Club.... It sickens him

"Don't ever blame yourself for it, Lucas," you place your hand over his shoulder "just put it like this way...the reason why this happened to you... maybe it wants you to teach something... there's a lot of bad people in this world whatever you do, no matter what you try to avoid them, you will always encounter someone like them... if there's so much people like them be a good one!" you show him a smile and that made him smile as well

"You're such a good friend, Amanda, I'm so grateful to have you in my life." He says it with so much honestly in his eyes

Your eyes become glossy his words goes straight to your heart- you smile and you throw your arm to his side and you give him a squeeze

He rests his head on top of yours "I wish I were, Lucas."

"But you are?" He says looking back at you with his eyebrows knitted together

You hum in agreement and you shake your head "Thank you"

He tilts his head at you "What's going on with you and Eddie?" He gives an pointed look

You remove your hand from him and you rest them on your lap

You sigh "I'm working on it, don't worry." You look over him with a grateful smile

He looks over your eyes and searches for dishonesty but he sees nothing but fear and compassion at the same time- he believes you

He smiles and he says "Both of you are my favorite couple, I'm going to vote for the both of you at the prom." He closes his eyes shut and his eyes widen to what he just said and there's nothing else he can do to bring it back

"Oh? there's a prom going on?"

He sighs of relief a little bit as he hears that you didn't not suspect something suspiciously

"Uh- yeah" he stammers "Junior and Senior high prom together."

You nod at him

Eddie walk passes by at the basketball court and he saw you and Lucas together and his heart warms seeing you laughing- it's been a while since he saw you like that his heart easily sends so much thump in his chest watching you closely- god- he wishes that you look like that all the time

He doesn't even realizes that Mike is in front of him

"Eddie?"

He jumps back into reality- his head goes turn back to and to Mike "Oh- h-hey, Mike." he stutters

"Amanda, came into our house last night and she talks to my sister, Nancy, and she told me she's alright but I really don't buy it as she looks so bad yesterday." He paused

Eddie's eyes widen and his face turns into worrisome

"I-I didn't mean to pry, I'm just worried that's all" Mike throws his hand up in defense

Eddie smiles at the boy and he is truly thankful that he has friends like him

"Is there something wrong between the two of you?" He asks

He sighs and he clears his throat "we're not doing any good at the moment but we'll be okay." He reassures him

He smiles with a hopeful look on his eyes "Do you think she already knows?"

"Knows about what?"

"The prom?" he brings up the same flyer that has given to him few weeks ago and Eddie already knows he is giving it to El

"Oh- yeah- right" he breathes deeply "no- I don't think she knows it yet."

He smiles sadly at him "But I believe the both of you will be together at the end."

Eddie's face softens as he says "Thanks, Mike."

"You guys are the endgame." Mike added with a smile on his face

Friday, another night at Steve's house, Movie night

You don't wanna attend the movie night because you know that Eddie will be there but you also don't wanna disappoint Steve so you fix yourself up a little bit still so fucked up as you try to get yourself together

Eddie picks the movie that they're going to watch and it's the Lost Boys

You arrived very early at Steve's house and of course your bestfriend always notices something in you that isn't right

Steve gives you that look that says "Stop punishing yourself for this"

You hissed at him and you walk inside to his house and flop down to his couch

You're wearing worn out a gray acid wash KISS stretchy tee that almost look like half off shoulder as it shows the strap of your bra and classic blue denim pants with Nike

You didn't even care if your eyeliner is very bold you just leave it as it is and your hair is a mess but still looks good as your push it over to the side

Steve rolling his eyes might stuck behind his head when he watches you- sulking around

"Am I even allow to speak?" He asks as he leans back to his front door

"Yeah- as long as you're not scolding me about him" you say as you cross your arms not looking at him instead you look down at the carpet

He's controlling his anger over you as he doesn't want to spoil this evening

It's been 3 days ago since you have that conversation with Steve

That night, when both of you cried and clinging to each other's arms

Steve couldn't believe you're acting like this- he hates this attitude- it upsets him so much- he doesn't like it

He had enough- he shouts at you "Stop being so fucking stubborn and just say what you want in his face not leading him up like this! I thought you don't want him to get hurt?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?!?"

You glare at him with fire in your eyes filled with guilt

"Don't give me that fucking look, Amanda"

He walk towards you and he is now standing in front of you

"Just because you're sad doesn't mean the others around you needs to suffer." He says with a stern look

His words cut deep into your soul and it almost like something falls heavier inside your chest

Your eyes are now flaming with so much anger until you blow up

You stand up so quickly that Steve almost fall back- he almost forgot that you can beat up someone so easily

"Fine! I'm the worst daughter, I'm the worst friend, hell- I think I might've been the best future girlfriend to someone you're referring to-" you start and you walk towards him as he backs up slowly until he is against the wall

"Say all you want but I am numb, it stings but I don't feel anything anymore, I fucking- I fucking regret the things that I've done, Steve- you don't know everyday I suffer from the actions that I did wishing that I didn't do it." You say as your voice cracks and that made Steve drops his uprising anger across his face slightly

"I've lost all of my confidence, I try to gain them back but I still struggle- it hurts- I know it's been years since all of those people did to me- completely killing me mentally." you chuckled sarcastically

"I know you want me to be happy but just let me think for once, okay? just leave me alone" you sigh in exasperation

Steve stay silent as he stares at you and he rubs his eyes

Eddie- of course, Eddie came after you

You can see his eyes light up as he saw you in there but quickly fades as he senses the tension in the room

You rolled your eyes at him and you walk towards the backyard

Steve walks over to him and he plastered a smile at him

Eddie knows Steve he doesn't look good like he interrupted a steaming confrontation

He is so confused- it almost like he doesn't even recognize you anymore, not only your actions changed but also your appearance

You're still beautiful to him whenever you're in your bad days

All of the gang came inside Steve's house

You distance yourself in them

Not only Eddie is confused but also them are confused as well but Lucas is the only one who can understands the situation even though you don't talk that much

"I knew- it's a wrong decision to come over here" you think to yourself

You're watching the half of the film while you drank iced tea

Eddie always taking chances to look at you

He wants to do something and finish this once and for all

You stand up and walk towards to the table where all the goodies are- you grab a small bag of potato chips and feeling someone behind your back and you turn around

It's Dustin

He smiles slighty and he looks like he wants to ask you something but he couldn't bring himself up to say it

"What is it, Dustin?" You ask politely not wanting to make the kid feel bad

He shakes his head

"I promise- I won't bite"

"I- I just wanna say.... I missed you being at our table during lunch time." He clasped both of his together with a small smile

Your eyes softens and your serious expression drops down

"Not- only on lunch time though- I- I just really miss hanging out with you- that's all." He added

Before you can reply to him, Mike appear beside you as he says "You don't want us anymore?" Mike asks while he tries to look at your eyes

You finally looked at him and you sigh "No- no- I still love you guys." You say

"But why you're not sitting with us anymore?" Dustin asks

"Guys, don't pressure her" Lucas claps his hands to get his friends attention

You look around and you saw Lucas coming closer to the table to grab a donut and you smile at him

You bring back yourself to Dustin and Mike "I'm just... having a hard time at the moment but I promise... I'll be back soon- of course I won't forget all of you." You say and they miss that genuine smile you have and that convinces them

"I bet she's already taking you guys for granted"

Steve voice echoes through your skull and it bleeds out to your ear

Your face goes back to cold expression again

You turn around and you scoffed and walk away from the table

"Okay, dude- what the fuck was that?" Lucas exclaimed

"She fucking deserves it- you know? she needs to be waken up and make her realize that she is wrong!" he yells

"Steve- didn't you forget that she is your childhood bestfriend?!" Dustin says with a tone coming out his voice

He tsked "I know that but she-" he gets cut off by Mike

"You're going to regret all of this sooner or later, yeah- you have the right to be mad at her but you also don't want her to suffer more, that's not what bestfriends do." Mike says

Lucas, Dustin and Mike we're all right and 100% right he hates that this is happening to your friendship and it's the first time ever you both done something that you both will never forget, it's your first argument with each other, first time really getting mad but never hating each other even though sometimes when things get really bad you both hate the words coming out of your mouth coming from anger

that's how much you cared for each other

as much you wanted to stop this foolishness you just wanted something to get over with your head, you just wanted to scream all of those bottled up emotions that you had with all of those years, you're mad at yourself for not fighting and defending yourself, you hate yourself because you let them do that to you, you think that you're the problem, you wished that if you did those things that they do you wouldn't be like this even though you knew it yourself you won't going to like it, you're just doing it so you can fit in to their world....

that's the reason why you went rogue for 2 weeks, moping around and sulking around because you're afraid to admit of your own feelings

All of this chaos will change tonight

Steve stares at the 3 boys and he ducks his head down slowly, massaging his neck in the process

"I just don't...." He begins "I-I just don't want to see both of friends who are very important to me lose themselves."

"I just want them to be happy." he sighs as he flashes out a sad smile

"Don't make it hard for her, okay?" Lucas nods at him

"The storm will pass" Dustin added

"It will be better at the end, I'm very sure of it, Steve." Mike reassures him

All of you are watching the movie that Eddie picked out

Lucas and Max are both sitting on the carpet floor

Dustin and Mike are both sitting in the couch

While Gareth and Jeff you overheard them talking about comic books at the coffee table beside

Steve and Robin are both standing behind the sofa as they both leaning their backs against the wall as they watch the movie

Steve is taking any chance glancing at you while Robin notice the concern in his eyes, Nancy follows her gaze

Eddie on the other head is sitting alone on the side his knee is jumping up and down as he tries to decide whether he or should not confront about your behavior towards him

You're the one is on the dining table alone as well

You checked your watch on your wrist, it says 8:30pm

"I've stayed long enough" you think to yourself

You get up and reach down at the doorknob before you step outside, you glanced over at Steve where you already find him staring at you

He weakly nods but you can't miss the disappointing expression on his eyes

You blinked and you sigh as you close the door

Steve looks back to where Eddie is

Only to find he's not there anymore and he realizes he went out to follow you and so does he

You walked fast, you just want to go home as soon as possible but you can't help but feel worse to do this to your friends

you bite down your bottom lip from stopping yourself to have a mental breakdown in the streets at night

You shove your hands in your pockets as you can feel yourself shaking uncontrollably and your chest rises up heavily you can't breathe normally at this point

You're having an panic attack

Eddie runs out to find you sighing as he saw you not so far away yet

He jogs out to reach you and he calls out your name

Hearing his voice again only adds more guilt to your heart

You refuse to look back at him "Leave me alone, Eddie"

He's already there beside you looking at you with his confused expression

He tries to catch your eyes to look at him but you still refused

You didn't halt your tracks to talk to him but he still follows you

"W-What's wrong?" He asks

The back of your eyes are now filling up with burning tears

You quietly sob but Eddie manages to hear it, of course he did- he always does

"Did I do something?" He asks but you didn't respond again

"Please, talk to me." He asks again- he knows deep down it has nothing to do with him, you're just having a hard time trying cope up with your feelings but he just wants you to confront about it because he had enough of it

It has stop, he doesn't want you to be like this forever

"Don't make me do this, Amanda" his tone grows more serious than before

You ignore him yet again

He grumbles in frustration as he hold both of your shoulders and stops right in front of you to make you look at him

You're now finally looking at his eyes are now filled with confusion, anger and sadness

You swallowed nervously at the sight of it, you tried to make a move and escape from his hands but he holds you still so you won't leave him again

"Answer"

"What?"

"Just answer me? please?" he says with a pointed look on his face

You blinked and you can tell that he is upset about you and yet somehow he can manage to control his anger and he still acts respectful to you

He can never ever hate you

"Stop it, Eddie"

"Stop- what?"

"Stop doing this!"

"I just want you to answer me!"

"Let me go, Eddie!"

He did let go of you but he blocks out every way you try to get rid of him

"You're still afraid aren't you?"

"W-what?"

"You're a coward"

"I don't know what you're talking about" you say as you crossed your arms ignoring your stomach drops to where this is going

"Oh- you know exactly what I mean" he huffed and laughs incredulously

"No, I don't-" he cuts you off

"See? Right there, that's fucking in denial"

You stare at him in silence

"I liked you since day one and you're just scared to admit it."

You gasped at his sudden confession and you tear away your eyes at him but he lifts your chin up

"You're afraid of your own feelings and you know that I am right."

His words are like broken glass shards that went stabbing through your heart

He's right, he sees through you, he can sense every emotion that you're having

Your eyes threatening to spill so you push him away and you turned your back at him to continue walking

He scoffs as he follows you

"So, tell me, Amanda, is it Steve?!"

You look at him at his insane question "No" you shouted while your voice cracks

"Then, what is it?!"

"I-I don't know."

"You fucking don't know?!"

"I'm not having this right now"

"Bullshit- We're having this right now whether you like it or not"

You went silent- your heartbeat goes faster and faster

"If there's no one else then why are you doing this?!

"Why- you try making it hard for yourself?!

You don't answer

"I have loved you ever since I laid my eyes on you, I've waited and never stopped loving you even you're acting like this"

You glare back at him and you went back staring at the streets

"I know, you have this past that you don't seem get healed from it yet but I'm going to help you no matter what, you know that right?"

Suddenly you feel so sick and your body feels heavy

So it is true, all of them from Wayne, his friends and Marlon

He truly does care for you and he even likes you from the start and that made you emotional

"Amanda, I am not like those people, they're not me! don't ever think I would do that to you, I would fucking totally kill myself if I ever hurt you" he pauses and he clears his throat not to breakdown from his own set of tears

"I try to understand you everytime we go together"

"I just don't want you seeing like you like this"

"If- if you're having bad days I want to be there for you on your side."

"I get so confused why you're trying to push me away or like any of us who are genuinely do care for you."

"If you don't feel the same way as I do, that's fine, I'll be there always" he knows that you liked him too but he wants to hear it coming from you

He reaches down at your hand stopping you from walking

You turned around at him and you scrunched up your forehead and you can't hold back the tears anymore as you slumped your shoulders down and you feel weak

But you still try to break free from his grip in your hand

He saddens to see you like this but he still wants some answers from you

"Tell me, Amanda"

"T-tell you, what" you croak out looking at him with your blurry eyes from tears streaming down on your face

"That you love me."

You jolted at his words and finally his grip on you is loose

Eddie pushes you against the wall placing both of his hands on the sides of your face, caging you in front of him

"Answer me"

"No- I don't-"

"I can't keep going on like this forever" he shakes his head at you

"Just let me go home"

"I will- if you just answer me"

"I-I can't-"

"No- tell me- right now!"

"Eddie-"

"Do you love me?!"

"S-stop"

"I said, do you love me?!?" He yelled

"Yes" you shouted

His gaze softens as he hears your response and he searches for dishonesty on your eyes, he finds nothing but fondness

"I burn for you"

He blinks as he removes his hands on the wall

"I burn for you everytime when we're together"

"You have no idea how much I devoted for you all this time" you paused sniffling as you wiped your tears

"I yearn for you everytime when I'm away from you"

Eddie stumbles back at your words and he immediately cups your cheeks and gives you a sloppily kiss and you squeal from his action but you kissed him back and your close your eyes and throw your arms around his neck and he deepens the kiss and holds your waist even tighter and yet you're both longing at each other and you miss his touch, his scent and you miss him

He doesn't want this to end, he doesn't want to break the kiss, he wants to hold you like this forever and ever

He wants to say something so he cuts it leaving you chasing after his lips "I love you" he places another kiss on your lips "I really love you, Amanda" he kisses it again

Your gaze softens while you're looking at him- your heart flutters at his actions wiping your tears on your cheek and he caresses it

You can feel another set of flood of tears building up "I don't deserve you, Eddie"

He rolls his eyes at you "Don't ever say that, please, you're worthy of love, Amanda"

"Just let me love you"

as he places another kiss on your lips, he groaned when you run down your hand from his chest down to his waist pulling him more closer to you- he cups your ass and you mewled from his action

Eddie loved you from being just you, Just Amanda, he doesn't care about your past, he doesn't care about people might think of you, he loves all about your ramblings, your love of movies and music, your cool outfits and your attitude when it comes to mean people like bullies, you're such a badass girl and yet here you are caving in so easily for him and you don't even know why this felt so wrong, he deserves someone better

You pushed him back catching your breath

"But Eddie, I treated you so bad, you deserve someone-

He hushes you "I don't want anyone else, I only want you."

You look back at his eyes- it swims with love and adoration

"Oh" is the only thing you can say incredibly speechless of all the confession he had just said

It is just so hard for you to let that all sink in- you just couldn't believe someone like him to give you so much love and care and you don't know how to act and what to do

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Take me home"

He frowns at your response and he sadly smiles

"No- Eddie, I said take me home with you."

You can never miss the way his eyes light up

"Gladly"

Eddie takes you to his van and when he looks back at Steve's house

He saw him standing in there and he give him a grateful smile

When you arrived at Eddie's trailer he takes you immediately to his room

He lays you down on his bed and he gives you cuddles and kisses

He's holding you and you're laying on his arms hugging into you in the process

He caresses your cheek and you let him run his fingers through your hair

Your heart sinks how much you appreciate this comfortable silence with him

You're so blessed- you don't even know it

"I'm so sorry, Eddie"

"For what?"

You shrug "for hurting you"

"You never did hurt me"

"But I did" you start "and I will never forgive myself for it

He doesn't respond, he hugs you instead

"I could never hate you" he saids it to your ear and places a kiss on top of your head

he can feel you smiling at his response

"I just- I didn't know that this could happen to me, all my life I thought I could never have this."

"Like what?"

"loving me for what I am and truly respects me"

If this was another person he would just want you for your body but with Eddie.... It's different..... he could get used to this forever

He would volunteer to take away your pain in your heart so that you can never suffer again

You loved Eddie because he is true to himself and Eddie loved you for being brave and strong

He pulls back to look down on you only to find you already looking at him

He smiles at you and he tucks your hair behind your ear

"I saw you with Lucas, the other day"

"You did?"

"Yeah, you always doubting yourself that you're a bad person when you're not"

"You helped my friends and you make them happy- I do love them but it's not the same without you in it."

Your eyes became glossy

"I can't function without you on my side, Amanda" he added

"I don't know what I would do if you're not there on my side, if ever that happens, you can never avoid me, I will always be there."

"Do you really meant it?"

"What?"

"That you love me?"

"Of course, I do"

"Are you certain?"

"I am certain"

You stare at him for a moment and you can really tell that he is saying the truth

You buried your face into his chest and you sob

He panicked- he pulled you away to look at you

"W-what- what's wrong?"

You shake your head

"Darling-"

"I'm just really happy" you laughed

"Oh, my love, you got me worried" he chuckled

"Thank you, Eddie"

"For what?"

"For showing me that I am worthy"

"And I would never stop that you are worthy of everything" he says while looking at you he tugs out a sweet smile

You smiled at him and you hug him while you rest your head on his arms

If the world is against him and so do you

You woke up laying on his arms

He haven't unshackled you in his embrace since last night

He's so beautiful from inside and out, if only the town knew how much of a pure heart he has

You admire him in his sleep, you brush your hands through his curls and he hums from your actions

You carefully remove his arms trying not to wake him up and you kiss him in the lips

You went home

You have this sudden feeling that you're so sure of yourself that it's your time

It's time to be happy again

Your mom called out for you and asked you to sit beside her

"What's the matter, dear?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Mom"

"Come on, I know you're lying"

You hesitate at first but you replied "Eddie and I got into heated argument but we're okay now we talked each other last night" you say

Your mom doesn't even know the whole context about everything that is happened

Mother's really knows what's best

"What do you want?"

"Huh?"

"What do you want?" She repeats the question

"I-I want to be happy again"

"Then follow into the light that you found" she says and she reaches out to grab your hand

"Listen to your heart, Amanda, nothing will ever happen if you just go for it while it's still there"

She kisses your knuckles and your eyes are misty

"All I wanted for you is to be happy and do you what you love"

"Thanks, Mom" you nod at her

"Always here for you, my baby"

Eddie woke up without you on his side and he frowns

He quickly gets up and saw Wayne on the coffee table

"Woah, there, son, take it easy"

"Where is she?"

"I talked to her just give her some time" he says with a hopeful smile

He sighs and sats down on the couch "I love her, Wayne"

"I know you do, just give her some space for a moment" he reassures him

You walk up the stairs and went into your bedroom

You noticed some messy spots of your room so you picked and clean it up

Your journal caught your attention, this is where you keep all of your favorite memories of your life- the important highlights that you want to look back everytime that you wanted to

Including your new found friends and him

while looking through the pages there's a growing smile coming out of your face

but you noticed something else

you remembered that you didn't put anything on your journal.... unless

It's him, the one who put it inside of your journal

Your heart palpitates like crazy while slowly taking out the piece of paper that is tucked in one of the pages in your journal

Your eyes grows big and wide as you read down what's on the paper

It's about the prom and you know that if someone give this to you- it's an invitation

Your knees became weak and you drop down on the ground

You're shocked and you can feel yourself crying

You're happy but also at the same time you can't believe it

All of the pieces are coming together as you realized everything

You remember that one lunch time that you had together, he acted really suspicious and even his friends

Lucas almost slipped out the secret while you're cheering him up yesterday

"Oh my god"

You want to apologize to everyone, so you went from your childhood bestfriend first

You knocked on the door and ringed the doorbell

"Alright, Alright! I'm coming!"

He opens the door and his annoyance expression drops as he saw you standing in front of his house

"H-Hi" you say shyly

"Hey" he smiles and he can see the way your eyes glow and he is so glad that you're coming to your senses

"Can I come in?"

"Sure"

He gave you a vanilla milkshake and he's having a chocolate just like you always do as kids

You slide the paper across to him and he looks back at you one last time before he unfolded the paper

He eyes goes wide and he says "Wait- did he-"

"He's asking me out to prom" you say while you're crying and laughing at the same time

"Oh" he genuinely smiles at you

"We talked to each other last night, it feels nice to finally open up to everything and you're we're right all along"

He nods at you still holding on to the paper

"Steve, can you um-"

He holds your hand and caresses it "Can you bring me there? like give me a lift?"

He looks confused "It's Eddie he should be the one-"

You cut him off "No- he shouldn't know that I already know, I wanna surprise him"

He smirks "Oh- I like this plan"

You and Steve talked to each other for a moment, you both apologize about everything and he hugged you one last time and he is very excited for you

He can't stop from being excited that he went calling Robin immediately after you left and he removes his phone away from his ear because Robin screams directly on it

Everyone is involved in the plan except for Eddie who has no clue about what's going to happen in the prom

Prom | November 30 1987

You and your mom went shopping before the event

You picked out the most magical and flattering gown

Purple with glittery sparkles all over it

You prepared your hair and makeup

It starts at 7pm and the gates will open at 3pm

Everyone is getting ready and Eddie.... well- he's having problems of not wanting to mess this up

What if you don't show up?

What if you don't saw the paper that he tucked in your journal?

He wanted to call you and he even wanted to go to your place and talked about the prom but Wayne stopped him from doing those things

He is overthinking about everything and he is so worried

Wayne is enjoying this seeing his nephew getting frazzled and he just groans at his uncle and that made him laugh

Wayne talked about this over the phone with Marlon who is very happy about you and Eddie going to the prom and both men are snickering their asses off about Eddie don't know what to do

Eddie just rolls his eyes at his uncle

"I kept this for a long time now" Wayne says as he lays out his suit from his senior prom in his highschool days

"W-Wow" the suit is so elegant and the material is so sacred he must've been taking care of this for so long, he doesn't even knew that his uncle own something like this

"Well- you know I saved up some money and I really want to date the girl that I like so I did all of that" he says with a bittersweet smile

"Everything is possible as you're doing because you want it.". Eddie nods at him

Eddie stares at the suit as he remembers the story of how wonderful his senior prom is like and that's what he wanted to achieve, he wants it to be memorable like his uncle did

Eddie places his hand on his shoulder "I am sure she is with you.... always."

Wayne looks at his nephew with brimmed eyes as he remembers Clara

Back then when Eddie was just a kid he showed him the pictures of him and Clara together at the senior prom

Eddie can sense the energy just by looking at the pictures, they're both radiating with love and admiration with each other

Clara died from sickness and Wayne mourned her earnestly and he didn't stopped loving her very deeply until now

That's why he is so eagerness that you and Eddie must be together, that's what he felt with Clara, you and Eddie both have the same relationship that Wayne has before

The pureness and the genuine of just enjoying each other's company

Wayne clears his throat "Now, put this on! I wanna see you wearing it!"

"Okay, Wayne" he chuckles at his uncle's sudden enthusiasm

Eddie came out from his room wearing his uncle's suit

"Oh my dear boy! Look at you" Wayne says as he covers his mouth in awe

"Do I look good?"

"Good? You look incredible, son! It perfectly fits you just the way that I imagined!" He exclaimed

"Thank you, Wayne" he says with an unsure smile

"Son, don't be like this"

"I know...."

"Don't pressure yourself to do the same as I did before like this is your night do what you feel what is right for you both" he says

Eddie couldn't stop himself from hugging his uncle almost knocking him off in the process

Wayne smiles down at his nephew and hugs him back

"You look amazing!" Steve grins at you

Robin is staring at you in awestruck "Wow, Amanda, holy shit" as she takes polaroid pictures of you

"Give us another twirl for us, please" Steve says jumping up down

"Okay, one last time, alright?" You twirled and the two screech of excitement

"I literally can't wait for Eddie's reaction later!" Robin exclaims

You, Steve and Robin both take pictures of each other.... Until

Someone knocked on the door and all you tensed up and as soon as you heard the familiar voice

"Shit!" Steve says whisper-shout

"What is he doing here?!" Robin whispers

"I don't know!" You say as you grab your dress so you can easily run

"You gotta hide! Run for it!" Steve says to you

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Eddie says

Steve and Robin walked towards the door

"What are you going to do?!"

"I don't know it yet!"

"What are you about to say?!"

"I just- I don't know just follow my lead!" Steve says

Steve opens the door and saw Eddie in his fancy suit and he looks over to his side he saw Dustin with a perplexed complexion on his face

Eddie's face crumpled up and he is so confused why Steve and Robin are in your house

Not that is weird it's just- not what he expected

Steve gives a knowing look to Dustin and he immediately understands it

"Uh- what are you doing in here?" Eddie asks

"I love your suit by the way!" Robin says not making it look suspicious

"Yeah, Thanks, Buckley, Guys?" Eddie asks again

"Oh- Uh- Amanda's mom called us she's doing something that it needs our special help" Steve forcedly smiles

Eddie noticed this and he knitted his brows together and looks back at Robin

"Special Help?" Eddie asks

"Uh- yeah- we worked at Scoops Ahoy, 2 years ago right? and she asked to fix the ice cream machine" Robin says

"Oh" he nods

It looks like he's buying it and that gives them a relief

"Good save" Steve whispers to Robin

"Right?! Thank you" Robin responds

"Is Amanda there?" He walked in and that cause a lot more panic

"You stall him" Steve mouthed to Robin

"What?!"

"Go!"

"Fine, you're gonna pay me for this, Harrington!"

Steve saw you in the upstairs quickly carrying every piece of fabric of your dress thankfully Eddie wasn't looking up as he pulls Eddie in the living room

"I just want to say you clean up very nice!" Steve says

"You're scaring me, why are you acting weird?"

Steve doesn't know what to do as he looked over from his shoulder he saw Robin coming up and double checking to see you're not around

"Oh- here's Robin!"

Steve pushed Robin to Eddie and he holds her as she almost dropped down on the ground

Steve runs away to find Dustin

He pulled Dustin it made the kid flinched

"What the fuck are you both doing here?" Steve whispers

"I didn't know that you're guys are still here!" Dustin whisper exclaims

"Okay, fine!" He rolls his eyes "Don't ruin the plan, alright?!"

"Yeah, I know, Steve- just calm down! I'll fix this"

"is there something that I should know?" Eddie squints his eyes on Robin

"Uh- no, no, no! we're totally cool" Robin says as she shoves her hands on her pockets

She peaked her head and looked over to Steve mouthing "Are you guys done?"

"Yeah" Steve nods at her

"Just do anything you can to prevent him not to suspect anything" Steve says

"Got it!" Dustin says

Your parents walked down the stairs excited for you

"What's with all the racket?" your dad asks

Steve saw them and he whisper-shout "Eddie is here!"

"What?!" Both of your parents exclaimed

Eddie saw your parents and Robin failed to stop him

"Oh- hi there- I was wondering if Amanda is here"

Steve slowly shakes his head at them

"She's at the mall"

"She's with Nancy"

Both of your parents said at the same time

Robin face palmed and Steve winces

Eddie became even more puzzled at the situation

Dustin claps the both of his hands "Say, Eddie! I was informed that Gareth and Jeff are in there! Thank you so much for your time!"

Dustin pulled Eddie away before he can ask your parents where were you

Steve mouths to Dustin "Thank you"

Dustin raises both of his brows "Goodluck!" He whispers

You came out of the closet room "Phew! I thought he'll never leave!"

"That's a close one" Robin sighs of relief

"We gotta get you there before he can!" Steve says

Your parents smile of how stunning you look they both gave you one last hug

You're at Steve's car and you perfectly arrived on time

"I want you guys to be there"

"Are you kidding? I would die just to see Eddie's reaction!" Robin smiles widely at the anticipated plan later

You and Steve laugh

"Just get out there and have fun!" Steve says as he pinches out your cheek

It's 6pm and still there's no sign of you (that's what he thought)

Eddie is sitting at the table his shoulders were slumped and he is frowning why you aren't up showing up

He is now believing that he didn't saw the paper that he tucked inside of your journal

"Stop overthinking everything, Eddie" Lucas says as he sats down beside him drinking down his juice

Eddie sighs and crosses his arms "I just don't understand why isn't she here yet"

"She will be, just wait"

"What?"

the upbeat music stops and Lucas grabbed Eddie's hand pushes him in front of the crowd

All of the students are so confused why the music stopped

Eddie is dying of what is about to happen as he grows nervous

Mike came in front of him fixing his hair

Marlon fixed his suit even more properly "Marlon- what are you doing in here?"

He just smiles and he says "Just look up there at the stairs"

He looks so freaking confused but he follows him anyways

Nancy takes pictures of him with a Polaroid camera and Max holds up a breath freshener and she says "open your mouth" she sprays it inside and he coughs a little bit "that's a little bit minty"

He clears his throat "Care to anyone explain to me what is going on"

The two girls only giggled at him

"You'll see, Munson" Nancy saids

Dustin is carrying the flower bracelet "Oh- don't forget this, Eddie!" He says as he places it on his hand

He looks back at him and give him a thumbs up and a big smile

He just smiles at him with his knitted brows

He jumped at the spotlight at him and one at the stairs

He almost collapsed when you appeared in front of the stairs

"Oh shit- is he alright?" Wayne almost run over to his nephew

Marlon laughs "yeah- he can take this."

He breathes down heavily and he smiles at you walking down the stairs

He couldn't believe that this is real and his plan succeeded

and now there you are in front of him

Everyone at the school and gasped and you overheard them

"Is that Amanda Jones?!?"

"Oh my god, Is she dating Eddie Munson?"

"Surprise?" You say with a giddy smile

"You're so-" he shakes his head "So beautiful!" he takes your hand and twirls you around

"Thank you, Eddie" you can't help but hug him on the spot

Eddie almost fall down on the ground and everyone cheered and whistled

He hugs your back "How did you found out?"

"Just yesterday, while I fixed my bedroom"

"I'm sorry i didn't say anything after I left but- you smirked on the side looking over at your friends

Eddie follows your gaze and he tilts his head and also shakes his head in the process

Steve, Dustin, Robin, Wayne, Marlon, Lucas, Max, Nancy and Mike are all waving at him very sneaky and they all laughed

"Everyone is involved" you chuckled

He looks back at you "Oh- so all of you conspired against me?!? Huh." He smirks

You nod at him and you flash out a cheesy smile

Eddie looked over behind his back to Gareth and Jeff

He winks at you and you get confused

*Out of Touch by Hall & Oates starts playing at the background*

"Well played" you say

"You thought you're the only one who has plans, huh?"

"I guess we loved to surprise each other"

"I guess we do"

He places the flower bracelet on your wrist and kisses the top of your hand

"I love you, Eddie" you say plainly

Eddie can feel his heart wanting to come out of his chest

"I don't want anyone else too, my heart belongs to you forever" you say with a glint of thankfulness in your eyes

"I love you more, whatever happens, I will forever loving you until the end" he says

Eddie cups your cheeks and kisses you very slowly passionately and lovingly and you throw your arms around him again and holding the back of his head as he deepens the kiss

You and Eddie can hear the cheer and the screams

You break the kiss and you suddenly become shy and Eddie just laughs

You looked over to Steve and you mouth to him "Mission Accomplished!"

Steve and Dustin made a fist bumps to each other and all of them jumped to excitement

"Are you truly happy?" He asked you

"Yes I am" you say

He kisses your cheek "Thank you"

"For what?"

"For not giving up on me"

"Thank you too"

You scrunched up your eyebrows "For what?"

"for letting yourself be free and to be loved unconditionally"

"Oh- Eddie" you hug him once again

"Hey, Amanda?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you" he coos

"Oh stop it- you're such a dork"

He laughs and he tickles your sides and the prom night is filled with laughter, love and happiness

🎶You're out of touch, I'm out of time, but I'm not out of my head when you're not around🎶

that's what he feels for you and nothing ever changes that..... ♡

Whumptober 2022 Day 17: Reluctant Caretaker

Characters: Stephen Strange, America Chavez

Summary: He'd grown to like having America around

America Strange was eighteen now, hardly the girl Stephen had saved from an interdimensional octopus. For one, she had more confidence in her abilities, regarding both her star portals and Eldrich magic. She had made friends with fellow teens and young adults living at Kamar-Taj. It wasn't uncommon for America to ask, "Stephen, can insert name spend the night?" "Hey, so and so and I are gonna go shopping. Do you need anything?" He cherished the fact America was getting to be a normal teen despite her… rough childhood, but he would admit to no one that he found himself lonely without her by his side.

It wasn't long before America managed to convince Stephen to adopt a puppy she'd found discarded along some old Halloween decorations. "We should call him Bats!" She suggested, gesturing to the bat decorations he was found in. The two were practically inseparable, much like Stephen and the Cloak.

It's funny. Stephen had told Christine years ago that he didn't want kids. He told her that he didn't like them, and yet they all seemed to love him. He quickly found himself as the 'Community Dad,' according to America's friends and Wong. He once heard one of the kids say, "Mer, your dad is here," and his stomach did a weird flip. Though, he found he didn't mind.

Sure, they've had their arguments just like any other, dare he say, parent and child. When her sixteenth birthday rolled around, she saw her other friends getting their driver's licenses and wanted in on the fun. It wasn't a surprise to anyone that knew him when Stephen reacted quite extremely, expressing his opinion on cars readily and fiercely.

"You can teleport halfway across the planet! What use would a car be!"

"Yea, but they have convertibles!"

"The answer is still no, America. End of discussion."

"Why can't you be excited and happy for me like all the other dads? Oh wait, that's cause you're not my dad!"

The two definitely didn't have a normal father-daughter relationship, but then again, how could you when you had math homework in New York at six and then were facing a demon in Japan at seven? Alongside their normal day-to-day routine, the search for America's mothers continued. Honestly, Stephen had given up hope of finding her parents, not that he'd ever tell her that. They continued their search, with Stephen only giving a half-heart effort. It'd been fourteen-something years! What were the odds of finding them?

Stephen 'one in fourteen million' Strange should've known better than to doubt the odds.

America grabbed Stephen's arm in a tight grip as the portal formed. The other side was packed with people, seemingly a marketplace of some sort. "Do you think they're here?" America asked hopefully.

"I don't know, kid," Stephen replied. The people on the other side started staring at the portal in shock. Most ran away, yet two women rushed to investigate.

"Mis madres!" America exclaimed tearfully and released Stephen's arm to sprint toward the portal. The two women, America's mothers, took his girl into their arms happily, placing kisses on her forehead and speaking fondly in words he couldn't understand. They cried together and hugged each other for what felt like hours. Stephen stood outside the portal patiently, not wanting to intrude but also growing suspiciously jealous. One of her mothers pointed somewhere in the distance, and America nodded gleefully.

Stephen felt his heart drop and shatter when the portal began to close. "Ameri-" he began, practically pouncing at the portal, but he was too late. The portal snapped shut with a sense of finality. He stared dumbfounded at the place his girl had once stood. Surely she would be back, right? Introduce him to her moms. She wouldn't be gone long, though he didn't like having her out of his sight.

A few hours turned into a full day. "Time," Stephen muttered to himself, "she just needs time."

One day turned into three. America's friends were asking him where she went.

Three turned into four. Wong commented on his lack of sleep. How could he, though? He was worried about her! That's what dads did, right? Worry for their daughters.

Four days turned into eight. Stephen began to wonder if she was ever coming back.

Eight turned into fourteen. Two weeks… she'd been gone two weeks. Bats started to whine at him, obviously missing her as much as he did. "She's gone!" He shouted at the dog. "And she's not coming back!" The dog wound around his legs and jumped into his lap as Stephen began to sob.

Two weeks soon saw three. Stephen hated himself for ever agreeing to help her. She was his kid, now. Who taught her how to ride a bike? Who showed her the best way to make pancakes? Who did she go to when she needed a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on? Her moms? No. It was him! For Vishanti's sake, even his Defender variant had been the one to teach her how to shave and deal with period cramps! Didn't he have a right to know how she was doing? Not stuck on the other side of the multiverse with no way to see her?

On month three, he realized he could see her. Even if Wanda had destroyed the Darkhold, he could still visualize it perfectly thanks to his photographic memory. He knew he would corrupt himself further by dream walking yet again, but for his girl… worth it.

He didn't know which was worse. The assumption that something terrible had happened, hence why she hadn't come back to him, or the fact she was perfectly content. He saw her working on anatomy homework, something he'd always helped her with, while her moms made dinner. She was safe, far safer than battling demons every other day. She had car keys in her jacket pocket. Overall, she looked happy.

Overcome with heartache and betrayal, his connection broke and he woke up in his own body. His fingertips were now lightly tinted black at the tips.

Suddenly, he understood precisely why Wanda was so insistent. He was America's father, and it took everything in him not to remind her of that.

He now wore gloves to cover his hands. Wong accused him of obsession. Stephen thought of it as protection. He was her Guardian Angel, so to speak.

Her fallen angel watched from across the multiverse as America Chavez celebrated her twenty-first birthday.

Brain sighed , staring ahead at nothing as the gift of sleep failed to reach him. Ever since Pinky and him had taken the liberty of adopting the three Warner siblings that had moved into their water tower home, albeit that it took some hassle in order to leave ACME labs for good.

They still slept in the same cage, which Dot had insisted she decorate in order to make it more "cute". Just as long as it was comfortable, he hadn't minded. The bottom of the cage was now carpeted with a pink fluff, and their sponge bed had been upgraded to an actual frame and mattress with pillows and a blanket that seemed to be taken from a dollhouse. Either that or one of them had "borrowed" the shrink ray he'd used for a previous world domination plan.

He looked over, and sure enough Pinky was sleeping as peacefully as ever, snoozing with a smile on his face as he snuggled under the soft blanket, opposite from the scratchy one they were used to.

Brain stared at him fondly for a moment, pulling the blanket up more in order to cover his shoulder before he jumped off from the bed, thinking that maybe a glass of warm milk would do him some good.

Unlike back at Acme Labs, their cage was left unlocked so they were free to come and go out as they pleased, just as Brain was doing now. He slid down the rope that was kept there, landing with a soft thump as his feet hit the floor.

"Alright, Brain. Let's see if your kids remembered to do the dishes yesterday. Though I highly doubt-"

He was interrupted mid sentence as he heard the very specific sound of plastic balls shifting over themselves and clicking together as they bumped into each other, as if someone was shuffling through them.

Brain's ears perked up as he listened closely, hearing beneath the noise another more quieter one, that of sniffling and unintelligible blubbering in that of a whisper.

"Yakko?" He called out, making his way over to the ballpit where their oldest son slept. He grunted with some effort as he hoisted himself up the side of the pit, standing up at the edge. "It's late. Shouldn't you be asleep?"

There was no answer, but Yakko was there. He faced away from Brain, curled up in a sort of fetal position, his whole body shaking. There was no use seeing his face to tell that he was crying, with him sniffling and wiping his eyes.

"Er.." Brain struggled, his ears drooping at seeing his son like this. It was also strange, seeing him like this. Just how much was Yakko hiding from him, from Pinky, his own siblings? He opened his mouth to speak again, but Yakko had already lifted himself up, staring at him.

"Oh! Sorry, Dad. Heh, guess I ate a little too much of Pops's cheesecake last night. Which, I helped make by the way, it was my idea to-"

"Yakko." Brain cleared his throat, trying to make his tone sound firm. But it didn't last as Yakko shifted his eyes away, his eyes glimmering and turning red from the stinging tears. "..Is something the matter?"

"Well, I.." He began, trying to make a joke or a snarky remark in order to dismiss it. His tears, his shaking, everything. But his words caught in his throat, and against his own wishes his tears only got heavier as he shook his head, looking down. "It's just, uhhhh.. I had a nightmare. Pretty childish, I know. But, I'm fine now, so-"

"Would you prefer it if I stay here for the time being? That being until you're able to fall asleep again?" Brain offered him, sitting down as his legs dangled over the edge. "I.. have an idea of what it's like to be kept awake by night terrors. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

Yakko only blinked in mute surprise, before he smiled, rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah. Thanks, Dad. But, fair warning, I do tend to move around a bit in my sleep. So if I end up knocking you off there, don't be too mad."

Brain chuckled softly, giving Yakko a quick scratch behind the ear when he leaned over, watching his tail wag for that moment.

"I assure you, I'll be fine. Now, try and get some sleep. One of us deserves some tonight."

Yakko nodded, stretching his limbs out as he thanked Brain one last time, before turning over to try and get back to sleep, and the mouse took a deep breath, his heart beating fondly.

Storm Clouds on a Sunny Day

***Oooooo Teen!MC! Thank you for the request @lovevictoire! Now, although I think I'm technically Gen z??? (I could be a millennial. I have no idea). I have like 0 sense of most pop culture and probably won't be able to write that classic gen z chaotic humour properly, so I'm not going to attempt. What I can do is the hurt/comfort aspect of this which I LOVE! So, let's do this. I hope you enjoy it. ((Oh and before I forget *hugs*))***

Summary: MC has always been a happy positive ray of light that brought joy with them wherever they went; at least that's what the brothers and the other exchange students would tell you. But when they suddenly start getting quiet and begin isolating themselves, everyone is concerned.

TW: descriptions of grief.

In the darkness of the Devildom, you were the sun.

Since arriving in the dark, cruel world of the demons, you had reminded them how to smile, how to laugh, how to love. With you around, it was like the brothers had another sibling again. For the other exchange students, you were a breath of fresh amongst all the horror and despair of the Devildom.

In short, everyone had come to love and be incredibly fond of the teenage human that; which is why they noticed instantly when you weren't acting like yourself.

For starters, you had skipped breakfast, which greatly concerned Beel. The friendly giant had to go up and bring you your food afterwards.

He gently knocked on your door with one hand as he held a plate with way too much food on it in the other. "MC? Are you awake? You missed breakfast."

There was a small curse from the other side before he heard some shuffling. The door cracked open to reveal you wrapped in a bundle of blankets. It wasn't until you looked up that Beel got a good look at your face and his stomach dropped.

Your eyes were tinged red with tear tracks stained onto your cheeks. Your bottom lip was still trembling from the effort of not breaking down into sobs. There was not a trace of the sunshine child that you usually were inside of your stormy sad eyes.

Beel's heart broke as you still attempted to give him a small smile and took the plate from him. "Th-Thanks Beel."

He kept a hand on the door to prevent you from closing it. "MC, are you alright? What happened?"

Your eyes widened a little and you quickly wiped at your cheeks. "I-I'm just not feeling that well. Can...Can you tell Lucifer I'm taking a sick day?"

Beel nodded as concern grew stronger and stronger inside of him. "Of course. Whatever you need."

You weren't actually sick, Beel could tell that much. What you were was heartbroken. Something had reached into your soul and shattered it into pieces. He to ask you what it was. He wanted to reassure you that everything would be okay. But instead, he let you close the door and hurried back to his brothers.

His brothers looked at him skeptically as he arrived, noting the lack of a tiny human alongside him. It was Belphie, however, who noticed the distressed look on Beelzebub's face. "Beel, is everything alright? You look upset."

Beel simply shook his head and looked over to Lucifer. "MC has asked me to tell you that they would like to take a sick day."

Everyone was instantly on their feet in worry.

"Sick? What kind of illness? I can get any medicine they might need and look up the quickest way for them to recover." Satan quickly stated as he began to move towards the kitchen.

Belphie nodded and picked up his pillow. "If they're sick, they'll need rest right? I'll go up there and help them sleep better."

Mammon moved to go with Belphie. "I'll come with ya. They'll feel better with if their favourite's there with them."

Belphie growled and shoved Mammon as Levi spoke up. "I-I mean, I doubt they'd want to spend the entire day with me, but at the very least I can provide them with some movies and games for entertainment. In fact, it might be easier if we just, um, m-move them to my room."

Mammon and Belphie were now snapping at Levi rather than each other.

Asmo scrunched up his nose in disgust and put up his hands. "Yeah, no thanks. I love MC, but I'll leave you guys to handle all the snot and vomit thank you very much. Tell them when they're healthy, I'll give them a spa day, just the two of us."

Lucifer sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Boys, Beel hadn't even told us what is wrong with them yet," everyone froze and turned to Beelzebub. Lucifer nodded and gestured for him to continue. "As you were saying, Beel."

Beel shifted uncomfortably at the attention. "Right. So, I don't think they're actually sick."

Lucifer rose an eyebrow at this as an air of defence grew around him. "You think they would lie?"

Beel huffed in annoyance and shook his head. "No. I don't think they would. But when they answered the door, they didn't look sick. They looked like they were grieving," everyone breathed in sharply at the statement, but Beel continued. "They honestly looked like they had been crying since midnight. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get any sleep at all last night."

Lucifer frowned and finally made a move towards the door. "I, and I alone, will go speak with them. We don't want to overcrowd them. In the meantime, someone please contact Simeon just in case they truly are sick and Beel misinterpreted it," he ignored the several shouts of protest as he walked to your room.

He knocked softly on the door twice before carefully opening the door. "MC? Beelzebub informed me that you aren't feeling-"

Lucifer cut himself off as he saw you hugging your knees to your chest in bed, sobbing your heart out. He quickly made his way over and sat down beside you, gently placing a hand on your back. "MC, what's the matter? I've never seen you this upset before."

You didn't answer. You merely turned towards him and buried your face in his chest as you clung to his shirt. Lucifer quickly wrapped his arms around you and held you tight.

It was almost as if he could feel your sorrow within the sounds of your cries. The way they shuttered and cracked with every inhale and vibrated with pure agony on every exhale. You were trembling violently in his arms in a way that he hadn't felt since-

Since he held his brothers after Lilith's death.

Realization came to him as he glanced over and noticed the lightly crumped picture of you and another human on your side table. His breath caught in his throat and he held you tighter. "Oh MC," he whispered softly. "I am so sorry."

He held you there, letting your tears stain his shirt without a single care. He held you as your sobs softened into sniffles. He held you as your head lolled to the side and you finally gave in to sleep.

Lucifer had been about to fall asleep himself when he noticed the door open. Simeon, Luke and Solomon stood there with equal expressions of concern.

Luke took one look at your tear-stained face before a flicker of fury and angelic protectiveness flashed across his face. He opened his mouth to shout at Lucifer, but was stopped as a hand came over his mouth.

Solomon looked down at him sternly. "They're sleeping, Luke, and clearly in need of it. You don't want to wake them."

Luke huffed and slapped Solomon's hand away before going over to the bed and climbing in beside you and Lucifer.

Simeon pulled out a bag that clinked and clattered from the vials within it. "Satan had said that there was a possibility MC was ill?"

Lucifer sighed and continued to rub circles into your back while Luke gently dried your face with a handkerchief. "Unfortunately it seems the only illness they have is a broken heart." He nodded to the picture on the nightstand. "They appear to have lost someone. Today must be an anniversary of some sort that reminded them of it."

Both Solomon and Simeon's faces softened at the explanation. Simeon put the bag away. "I'm afraid I don't have anything that can help with that."

Solomon nodded. "It's a feeling I believe we are all familiar with," he stood in silent thought before snapping his fingers and grinning. "I know what will cheer them up! Some soup! It most certainly cheers me up whenever I'm upset. I'll go make them a pot right away," he smiled proudly as he left the room, missing the look of horror on everyone else's face.

"Oh my," Simeon began, "I better go supervise and make sure he doesn't accidentally poison them. Luke, do you wish to come?"

He shook his head and hugged you. "I'm not leaving them."

Simeon smiled fondly and glanced up to Lucifer who shrugged. "So long as he doesn't mind being the presence of a demon, I suppose he can stay."

Luke grumbled and continued looking at your hand as he held his up to it and compared sizes. "If they were able to fall asleep around you and you were able to comfort them...maybe you're not so bad."

Simeon raised an eyebrow in shock and laughed a little. "Well there you have it," he looked back to Lucifer. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything."

He nodded and watched the older angel leave.

@thegrimgrinningghost

Although the day was a rough one for you, there was not a second where you felt alone. There was always someone to hold you, to listen to you, and comfort you when you needed it most.

On days when sadness and despair threatened to cloud over the Devildom's only source of sunshine, the lords of the Devildom and your friends would be there to keep you warm until the sun could shine again.

***I hope you enjoyed this cute little comfort fic! Thanks again for the request @lovevictoire!***

footprints and doubts

this is the longest piece we’ve written so far and it drained the living crap out of us :,D but hope u guys enjoy !

pronouns: gender neutral

warnings: nothing really other than jealousy, angst, and crying, self thought cheating

a/n: r/n is region name btw

________________________________________________________________

honestly you found it hard to believe that little ol’ you from r/n could befriend let alone become someone important to ajax. the great tartaglia, 11th of the fatui harbingers, his name itself could strike fear into anyone. yet here you were, standing next to him with your hands intertwined with his at the lantern rite festival. you would give the world to him if you could, you loved him so much. he was so different from your last significant other who had been unfaithful towards you.

‘you’re just too boring.’ they had told you apathetically. you frown thinking about it.

you felt ajax gave your hand a small tug, "hey y/n why don't we go over there? looks like chef mao is cooking up something good." he spoke with a cheery grin on his face.

you snap back into reality as you felt his hand pull you out of your thoughts. you gave him a terse nod and the two of you made your way to wanmin restaurant.

after waiting a while in line, the two of you were next. chef mao looked up and practically shat himself at the sight of the male next to you.

“hello y/n! i hope you’ve been enjoying the festival, " chef mao spoke nervously, his eyes gliding to the male next to you, “y...you too sir childe.” he sputtered out. right, ajax was the one who tried to destroy liyue not too long ago after all. you shook your head, right now you were with ajax, not childe.

"woah woah woah. calm down chef, you know that’s history now. besides, i’m just here to enjoy the festival with y/n." ajax assured, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

you gave the chef a slight smile and spoke,"don’t worry chef. i’m sure he doesn’t have plans other than being with me tonight." you teased.

the chef sighed in poorly concealed relief and returned to his usual self as he took your order. ajax ordered the specialty for today, the crystal shrimp. after a small wait, the two of you waved chef mao goodbye after he gave you two your food. the warm dish let out puffs of steam and glistened under all the light of the lanterns due to it's crystal clear skin, there were 4 in total, the wrapping for each was folded into the shape of a flower. they were so pretty, you almost felt bad for eating them.

sitting down on a nearby bench, the two of you enjoyed the crystal shrimp while making small talk. the crystal shrimps were delicious themselves but it felt better to enjoy them with someone you loved.

after finishing the food, you and ajax had a great time. you guys played a few rounds of theatre mechanics, ruijin was pleased at how skilled the two of you were and rewarded both of you with hefty prizes. upon bumping into zhongli, the three of you decided to enjoy some tea with him. after bidding farewell to the funeral consultant, the two of you released some xiao lanterns and watched as they floated into the night sky.

feeling a bit tired, the two of you then decided to relax and take a walk instead of participating in games. as you and your boyfriend were strolling around the harbour, something, or someone caught his gaze. you look over to where his eyes were trailing to.

oh.

a beautiful young lady dressed in a white dress with a cecilia tucked into her golden blonde hair and a puffy companion floating by her side waved at ajax. her smile brighter than the sun and her movement as graceful as the moon. her honey glazed eyes shone with familiarity and glee at the sight of him.

of course you recognized this girl. she was none other than the otherworldly traveler, lumine. she fought alongside the liyue qixing and even the adepti to defeat the great osial. the people of liyue spoke about her often, everyone knew how she had also earned the title of honorary knight in mondstadt and defeated one of the four winds despite her young age.

you were once again brought back into reality when ajax spoke, "hey babe ill be right back okay? i wanna catch up with lumine real quick."

you felt his hand leave yours, the warmth dissipated with it. you felt an uncomfortable feeling bubble up as you watched your boyfriend run to someone else, leaving you alone by yourself to stand in the sea of lanterns and people.

it didn't feel right.

you stayed in place with a dejected look for a while waiting for ajax to return but he was taking a while so you decided to go check what was going on with him.

"-but then teucer decided to do it anyway!” you hear ajax’s boyish voice ring out with amusement.

as the blond and the redhead laughed together. you couldn't help but think about the two looked enchanting with each other.

you shook your head and decided to make your presence known. "ajax-"

ajax perked up, "oh! babe sorry to keep you waiting let me introduce you. lumine this is my partner y/n!" ajax exclaimed with a cute grin.

you gave lumine a small wave and spoke with a polite smile, "it's a pleasure to meet you lumine."

"it’s nice to meet you too y/n.” lumine replied cheerfully.

now that you’ve got a better look at the blonde, she's so much more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.

her velvety blonde hair fell gracefully, her porcelain skin was practically glowing without a single visible blemish, her golden eyes shone with beauty that rivaled cor lapis. to wrap it up, her short stature was presented with grace and poise. all in all, everything about the blonde was nothing less than perfection.

everyone loved her and you could understand the reason behind it very well. gorgeous, kind, and righteous, the hero of every region everyone respected. you couldn’t help but wish you were like her instead of your boring self, without a vision, without any standing out achievements either…

you started to space out while the two started up a conversation again, thinking about the feelings you were currently having. why were you feeling like this?

"hey babe we should get going! it's getting late." the voice of your lover broke you out of your thinking.

you were overthinking a lot today huh. "oh. we probably should get going then."

"bye ajax! bye y/n! it was really nice meeting you." lumine said with a pearly smile gracing her features. she then walked off to find her floating companion who was near a food stall inhaling dish after dish of food.

wait.

ajax..? he wasn’t childe or tartaglia to her, but ajax. you didn't know how to feel upon hearing the real name of your boyfriend slip out of the blonde. you knew how secretive ajax could be when it came to his family and personal life so the fact that lumine knew his real name put a feeling of unease within you.

the way home was pretty quiet, you didn't want ajax to notice that you were feeling off. you felt so guilty for having these feelings about him and lumine but you couldn’t help it. your last relationship had practically trampled on your ability to trust others, you could never tell if someone was lying to you or being truthful. you contemplated telling him how you felt but you decided against it, you’ve never been great at expressing your feelings after all. however, after a while of him blabbing about random topics, you couldn’t curb your curiosity any longer and realized you wanted to know more about your lover's relationship between him and lumine.

after a while of peaceful silence, you let out a small breath, "hey ajax?"

“yes y/n?"

"who is lumine… to you?"

ajax perked up at the sound of the blonde's name, "lumine? she's a good friend and a formidable opponent of course. it's been a while since i’ve fought with someone who could keep up with me on the battlefield!" ajax spoke with enthusiasm.

you felt a twinge of pain shoot into your heart at the tone that your lover used when speaking about the blonde. did he speak like that when he was talking about you?

"oh… i see. she must be a very powerful person then." you replied with feigned glee.

ajax noticed that you were in low spirits, "why? is something wrong?" he questioned with slight worry.

"no! i'm alright. i was just curious because you two seemed… close." you lied. you weren't ok, but you didn't know how to tell him. probably because you didn't even know why you felt such-

envy

that was what you were feeling. not petty jealousy or sadness, you were envious. envious of lumine. her beauty, her strength, her personality, everything. the feeling consumed every inch of your body and dyed you green. your insecurities swallowed you up and spit you out, rendering you vulnerable against the little demons that poked at your thoughts.

when the two of you got home and freshened up, ajax practically passed out the second he lied in bed with you. on the other hand, you stayed wide awake, stuck thinking about the way lumine and ajax interacted. the smiles, the laughter, the fond looks they gave each other plagued your mind, rendering you unable to sleep. after a while of staring blankly at the ceiling, you groaned and carefully lifted the sheets to not wake your lover and got out of bed to make yourself a cup of tea. you used the tea leaves you bought from pops kai, the calming properties of the tea always helped you when you felt down.

"they're just friends, don't overthink it, just friends, just friends." you whispered to yourself, trying to give yourself a sense of reassurance. after finishing the tea you got back into bed, it was hard but you eventually fell asleep next to your lover.

next morning, you were woken by the sound of your boyfriend walking around in the living room doing something. it was only around 7am so you were wondering why up so early as he usually woke up at 8. you groggily walked out of the bedroom.

ajax noticed you and smiled fondly at the cute sight of you rubbing your eyes. "good morning babe, did i wake you up? sorry about that, i was just getting ready to go train."

"oh. by yourself?" somehow, you had a feeling of where this conversation was headed.

"no, with lumine, we made a deal yesterday to go to yaoguang shore today to fight some ruin guards and hunters for materials!" he chuckled.

lumine. lumine

the name echoed in your mind like a mantra. you were aware of his weekly spars with the blonde but today would be the second day he went out with her this week. a part of your heart told you to stop him, another part told you to let him go. in this internal battle, you chose the latter and let him go. after all, who were you to stop him? it's not like you could be the one to satisfy his thirst for battle, only someone like lumine could.

you were having a day off due to the lantern rite festival, but to be honest it's not like you needed the money. with the amount of money ajax had he could probably support you and your next 4 generations. with your spare day, you decided to clean up the house because it was a bit messy due to teucer playing around the day before.

while cleaning up you found a spare xiao lantern that teucer was supposed to release when he came over. since you had spare time you decided to set another lantern yourself, it would be a waste to not use it after all. as people say, during the lantern rites, put your wish into a lantern and set it into the sky for it to become true.

"i wish to stay with ajax, till death does us apart."

you only hoped he felt the same way about you.

you put the note in the xiao lantern and set it off into the sky, you watched with sentiment as it floated away towards the clear blue sky.

you had a hard time focusing on the task you were doing for the rest of your day so you decided to take your mind off things and go take a look around liyue harbour to see if there was anything worth checking out, or buying.

liyue harbour contained the usual, the fragrance of grilled tiger fish wafting from the stand next to where you would usually buy your groceries, the kids messing around near the boats, and you even met xiangling who tried to offer you her new recipe of jade parcels but you kindly refused.

after that you went to give the adorable little pharmacist, qiqi, a visit. she was under the cashier stand like usual, you gave her a little pat on the head and asked for the usual medicine you buy for ajax.

you then bumped into zhongli, who was also strolling around. the two of you chattered about the festival and other shenanigans before bidding each other farewell. the amount of history about liyue and its traditions the man was familiar with would never fail to surprise you.

there wasn’t really anything left for you to do in the harbour so you started to head back home. not far away from the liuli pavilion you saw a familiar redhead talking to the owner of mingxing jewelry with a shorter figure standing beside him.

upon closer inspection, you noticed it was ajax with someone else at a jewelry shop looking at the items. it was none other than lumine standing next to him. you watched as lumine picked out a piece of jewelry from the stand that would look so well on her. the gem glowed it’s colour under her smile and looked more fitting than ever. weren’t they supposed to be at yaoguang shore?

without second thought ajax bought the jewelry in lumines hand and put it in a gift bag with a look of tenderness. your heart dropped to the pits of your stomach, you felt as if the world was crashing down on you. your breathing quickened and your heart palpitated at alarming rates. every little insecurity that was planted in you had finally finished blooming. was this really going to happen to you a second time? was once not enough for the entertainment of the gods?

that was when he saw you, standing only a little bit away from him holding the items you purchased for him and the fresh groceries you were going to use to cook dinner for him.

ajax’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing you, “y/n!? why are you he-” he was tense, you noticed, just like your ex-lover when they were caught.

you tried to regulate your breathing and spoke, “stop.” you managed to say, cutting off ajax before he could finish his sentence. he flinched at your dull tone.

“y/n! i know what you’re thinking but i promise we were just-” ajax hurriedly tries to explain.

“don’t. i think i've seen enough childe.” he frowned at the use of his moniker.

your lips trembled, water collecting at the bottom of your eyes. ‘don’t cry. don’t cry, don’t cry.’ you repeated in your head, you didn’t want to appear weak in front of the two. your ajax who you loved so much, who you cared for so much, who you were planning to spend the rest of your life with, is now buying jewelry for someone else after lying to you.

“i was foolish this entire time, of course. instead of someone like me, a visionless nobody you would choose her over me. you’re just like-” your voice cracked as you forced the words out of your tightened throat.

“y/n it’s not like that! please just let me explain!” ajax pleaded urgently. he hated that you were talking bad about yourself.

after gaining a smidge of composure you decided you couldn’t be near the two, “no need childe, i understand. now if you’ll excuse me, i'll be on my way.” you muttered and brushed past the two.

“wait y/n!-” he reached out to grab your arm before the blonde next to him stopped him.

lumine sighed and spoke up after staying silent, “let them go for now. leave them alone for a bit, they need some time to think. it’s understandable why someone would be upset if they saw their lover with someone else like this.” she comforted before patting him on the back.

“yeah. i guess you’re right...” ajax murmured with a crestfallen look. he regretted not communicating with you, otherwise this wouldn’t have happened. he should’ve cleared up any suspicions you had and reassured you. he knew about how you weren’t confident due to your last relationship. gods, he felt like he was worse than your dirtbag of an ex.

you walked towards your home slowly trying to process what just happened. your tears already ran dry and you didn’t think more were able to escape from your eyes. the fading sunset seemed so blurry yet peaceful. somehow, instead of walking home, you ended up near yaoguang shore which happened to be the spot you and ajax would go to often. his name brought bitter feelings back as you remember the events that just happened but you took a deep breath and sat on the sand across from the shore. you listened to the sound of the ocean, the waves dousing the sand it touched. you took notice of the starconches laying on the sand.

feelings of melancholy welled up inside you. these are ajax’s favourites. the blue shells reminded you of his eyes. his lovely eyes were the blue of the waves of the sea, they crashed into you and pulled you into them. you could spend all day swimming in the infinite hues until you drowned.

you buried your head onto your knees and let out a pained cry you’ve been holding in. here, where no one can find you, where no one can hear you. only the ocean will hear your troubles and worries, you hoped it could wash them away and you could forget about them forever. you sat there in peace by yourself for what felt like hours.

you sighed and decided that you should get going, but to where? you didn’t want to see ajax if he’s even going to be there at all. maybe you could crash at zhongli’s place…

just as you were about to leave you heard a familiar voice behind your back. “y/n!” it was the man you loved, ajax, sprinting to you with the same gift bag he was holding in his hands at mingxing jewelry.

you turned around to look at him. your hair was flowing in the wind with the sunset behind your back. to ajax it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life.

“i knew you’d be here.” ajax spoke with relief.

you looked away from him not knowing how to feel right now about your “lover” and stayed silent.

“y/n. i swear it wasn’t what it looked like, i would never do that to you. lumine and i really don’t have anything going on in between us, i chose you as my partner and i plan on keeping it that way for the rest of my life. in fact,” ajax murmured while opening up the gift bag he was holding. it was a bracelet with a fine piece of noctilucous jade in the middle with cor lapis fragments decorating the border of the blue gem. the jewelry wafted with fragrances, the morning dew smell from a qingxin, the classical smell of the harbour from a silk flower and lastly the everlasting aroma of violet grass.

“do you like it? lumine and i picked it out for you at mingxing jewelry for our upcoming anniversary. i just wanted her opinion on what to choose for you. this was one of the most beautiful pieces that they had. i heard it took a super long time to make, oh! the jade in the middle will also make the bracelet glow in the dark! pretty cool huh?” ajax smiled as he lifted your wrist to put it on you.

at a loss of words, you lifted your head up at the male and gave him a soft smile, “thank you ajax… i love it, it’s perfect in every way possible.”

“just like you.” the redhead spoke fondly with a grin on his face while softly stroking your hair.

“oh shut up you flirt.” you tried to hide your smile as you both giggled on the beach with the sunset dripping behind you two.

after a while of being engulfed in ajax’s arms you spoke, “ajax, i want to apologize for jumping to conclusions about you and lumine. i..you know about how i find it hard to trust people sometimes but it was unfair for me to do that to you, i know you would never cheat on me.” you spoke, hugging him tighter as if he would leave if you get go.

“y/n. don’t you dare think for a second that i’ll leave you for someone else ok? you’re the only one in this world that i want and it’s staying that way. i don’t care if you’re visionless, or if you don’t have any achievements whatsoever. i still love you so so much.” ajax exclaimed as he buried his head into the crook of your neck.

you felt a certain warmth as your face flushed. how did you end up with someone as perfect as ajax. you lifted his face with your hands and pressed your lips against his. he deepens the kiss and your heart melts.

“thank you ajax. i’ll always be by your side too, no matter what happens. my love for you has no ends.” you speak with pure affection as you nuzzled your face into ajax’s soft yet firm chest.

ajax feels his face heat up and he quickly speaks, “c’mon now, let’s go home, i can’t wait to taste your cooking after running around all day today.”

the two of you walked together on the beach, hand in hand, leaving footprints and doubts in the sand.

Lone fae (Yandere Malleus x reader)

To my favorite lonley dragon fae happy birthday!

Malleus had been told about a fae living in a town of humans for quite some time now. At first he had become angry seeing as he was King and someone would dare ally themselves with the enemy. He'd punish them himself. As if any traitor could stand against him and live was a mistake that'd cost them their lives. He told his advisor and guardian Lilia that'd he'd be back after dealing with said traitor.

Only to get to said town and notice a woman with pointy ears, beauty beyond belief, picking berries within the forest that surrounded the town. At first he kept his composure watching for a moment maybe a bit longer considering she acknowledged his presence.

"Ah, hello sir."

She didn't know who he was? That was surprising literally everyone whose anyone knew the Fae King and would tremble at the mention of his name. Yet this naive little fae knew nothing about who she spoke to. How cute.

'A fae in the village? How strange do they not know about our hatred towards humans?'

"Hello." He had his arms crossed and came out into the open.

She noticed the ears and instantly became curious.

"Our ears are similar." She murmured it under her breath, but Malleus still heard it. She noticed his horns too and realized that she must have been a bit different since she lacked them.

'So she hasn't met her own kind before?'

That was how their first encounter went. They chatted for a little while exchanging names as Malleus wanted to test if she knew him by that but got no reaction. Malleus watched her go back all the way to her house in secret of course. From high up in the air. As soon as he saw where she lived he went back home.

'This so called "traitor" would require a bit more inquiry.'

* * *

He decided to find out himself, her background by asking a different question to gain some information.

"Y/n do you have a family?"

"Hm? I have a little brother named Aiden at home but that's about it."

"What about your parents?"

"I can't recall when I was kid all I remember was waking up in an alley with Aiden crying in my arms. There was a- .... lot of blood about the place my dress that was once white had been stained. Anything before that isn't anything I probably want to remember considering that scene alone." She trembled for a second before continuing to pick herbs and berries from bushes. Malleus sided eyed her reaction feeling slight guilt towards it.

"I see, my apologies for bringing up troublesome memories." Malleus wasn't hard of hearing considering how she paused as if she didn't want to recall the gory scene. Yet still she smiled without much effort it was small but it did make him feel some what relieved.

"It's fine your the only person I've told. No one else talks to me in town and I'm not ready to tell Aiden yet with his innocence, I'd rather not taint. He's all I've got and I don't want to lose him."

* * *

He understood quite a bit now pertaining to their situation. He had to admit though, he had become fond of the female fae. Someone so innocent and docile couldn't be a traitor. Lilia saw that the situation was taking longer than expected and decided to accompany Malleus this go around.

He wanted to see for himself if Malleus was being fooled, though he doubted it. Not only that but for the sake of his own boredom in the castle and to satiate his own curiosity.

"Y/n this here, is a comrade of mine." Malleus stood next to his comrade, a short cheerful looking child with bright magenta stripes of hair under the black side. Two pointy ears stood on the side of his head too.

She was happy to say the least to know two new similar people to her at the very least. Today happened to be the day Malleus was going to meet Aiden. She didn't mind Lilia tagging along of course.

"Lilia Vanrouge, Ms. a pleasure." He looked rather young in her opinion but his voice signaled to not be fooled by his appearance. She shook hands with the male who brought a pleasant atmosphere with him.

* * *

"So your Malleus huh? My sister speaks very fondly of you sir. She's been talking about you for centuries!" The little boy exaggerated making Malleus's eyes widen and at first he felt an overwhelming amount of happiness with how he had made a good impression.

Both him and Lilia chuckled to themselves as the girl who had been in the same room blushed furiously from embarrassment. Taking her brother by the arm she glared at him.

"Aiden you know that isn't true, you asked where I had been and I answered." She strained her voice to try and put emphasis on her truth only to receive laughter from the boy.

Lilia came up to him patting his head with a smile.

"Fondly and centuries such large words for a child so young." Lilia had felt a slight connection to the energetic youngster. He thought it'd be fun to get to know him better.

"Sis is teaching me to read and write words from the dictionary! I'm very ingenious!" He was smug about the new words he was learning with a proud smile causing Lilia to laugh.

Malleus had a smile on his face small and affectionate but a few other thoughts came up to his mind upon thinking about the boys words. He looked toward his sister who was now in the kitchen making dinner.

"Aren't there schools about here he could go to?" His concern for the child was showing.

"There are but with his ears, I'd rather not take chances until his hair grows out, not to mention his abilities are still uncontrolled, and we're kinda barely keeping this house, so school isn't much of an option at the moment." She looked down chopping vegetables but was still focused. Until her brother spoke again.

"Look I can do magic!" He was so enthusiastic, but the dread look on his sister's face said it all.

"No! Don't you dare we can't hope to fix the ceiling!" She yelled but Lilia stopped her seeing as she yelled she covered her mouth in realization.

"Worry not my dear, let me see this young lad do magic. I'll make sure he doesn't damage anything." He was calm and collected which was shocked her but she let him do as he wished.

Aiden whose excitement had been on the rise at the thought of showing someone else raised his hand and emitted a large slew of green flames rising fast. Of course it actually shocked both Lilia and Malleus to see the color itself and how big the flames he conjured were.

Lilia had regained his composure for a split second and created some wind to dispell the flames before they could reach the ceiling and burn a hole. Malleus and Lilia looked at each other knowingly for a moment before Lilia showed a smile toward the young boy with his fangs gleaming in the light.

"I see the problem your letting out all of your mana at once young one, still your mind and channel the flow to ignite a single flame." He advised carefully with hand on Aiden's shoulder.

Malleus felt as if he was watching a younger version of himself seeing his guardian teach another. The young fae had followed Lilia's teachings to a tee and a small green flame became lit in front of him.

"Sister! Sister! Did you see I got it! I did it!" He was jumping up for joy at his achievement.

"Yes I see thank you Lilia. You thank him too Aiden." She was happy to say the least, it was as if good fortune was brought with them to have met these two.

"Thank you Lilia!"

"Your welcome dear child you can learn with me anytime. You have a lot of potential that shouldn't be wasted." That made his eyes light up in pure unadulterated excitement.

"Sister did you hear that!"

"I did." She was just relieved someone could teach him besides all her past failed attempts.

"So does that mean you can use magic too then?" Malleus had wandered closer to her without her knowledge it made her flinch. Seeing the anticipation of her answer in his eyes, she answered him.

"Yes though mine's is a bit more controlled. I can conjure wind and green flames. As well as levitate a multitude of things toward me at once but that's about it. I haven't had too much time to practice." She waved her hand with a slight glow and brought a couple of ingredients in cupboards down on to the counter letting them shut on their own again.

Holding put her hand she conjured a small green flame that wouldn't cause any damage over the palm of her hand.

"Seems like your well taught." Lilia mentioned.

"That's only because before we got this house we lived in the forest and magic made things a bit easier, but otherwise while we live here we don't have a use for it. Aiden still wants to learn but my teaching can only go so far as I don't know much on the subject." She looked somewhat frustrated at her own uselessness. Malleus could tell she wasn't lying about what she could do that's for sure.

* * *

After dinner both fae left the home walking out but saying goodbye to the siblings. At first they walked away from the house, but soon to prevent from being seen by any late night walkers they teleported to the castle.

"A pair of fae with royal blood is rare. I do wonder how the both of them ended up in that human village though." Lilia started off by saying.

Green flames were the insignia to regal blood for fae even Malleus knew that fact. Known to be the most powerful of all faes. Yet two were living in a human town right within the heart of the enemy and neither knew.

"Yes but from what I've been able to tell whoever had taken care of them is probably dead. Slaughtered by humans most likely. She said she wasn't able to remember anything before that. I'm assuming her and her brother come from some line thought to have been killed when the war against the humans started." Malleus recalled all he learned about her over the past few weeks he came to know her.

"Such a shame those two don't even know their own kind. Living their life in solitude as outcasts when they could be a lot more free if they lived here." Lilia did actually feel pity for the pair of souls having grown an attachment toward the younger sibling as he had taught Malleus when he was young as well. Those days were reminiscent for him. Aiden just happened to be similar to young Malleus in that regard.

"Malleus, if any humans discover royal fae over in that village they'll be killed. It's only a matter of when." He stated that matter of factly considering he was a general during the aforementioned war and many fae had been chased out of human villages. The ones left had been unfortunate to be victims that were sacrificed.

"I know, I won't let them lay a finger on either of them. Get Silver and Sebek have the staff prepare two rooms in the castle for our guests." Malleus walked away from Lilia without a second thought after saying what he wanted done.

"I was hoping you'd say that. Seems you've gotten attached to her in a different way. Ah, I'm so glad to see you chasing after someone, it feels like ages since you've been small so long ago. I'll have little Aiden to teach all the stuff I once taught you. What a joyous occasion to think someone will finally sit on the throne next to you." Lilia smiled feeling eager and chipper at the future ahead.

He went to go get the two knights that would always await orders from their master. Skipping down the halls all the while humming an unknown tune.

* * *

Something has been different with Malleus as of today. He was fiddling with his fingers a bit more often than usual. He didn't want to meet her gaze at the time either.

"Malleus is there something wrong?" Worry laced in her tone for the man sitting next to her.

"Yes." He replied rather swiftly but ended it there.

"Would you like to tell me what about?" She at least wanted to try and comfort him however she could.

That's what made her different than most fae, most feared him, she didn't of course she and that oblivious little head of hers didn't. Before she could even grasp how much power she could have held it was taken from her.

Malleus had turned his head and looked her directly in the eye.

"You."

"Me?" She was surprised and confused about what he meant by that, lowering her head for a second to think.

Of course it didn't last long, as Malleus directed her chin to gaze at him instead of the forest soil.

"Y/n, my alluring little darling, would you do me the honor of staying with me?"

He said with a gentle smile. The proximity and his words had her face red within seconds. She still had to give him a reply and sadly she didn't want to upset him but she didn't have much of a choice.

"I'm sorry Malleus I can't. This place is all I've ever known. Going somewhere else with all that could happen, ... It's not that I don't like you but my own fears are holding me back." She was trying to come up with the right words so he'd hopefully understand.

It stung, it truly did. The rejection wasn't something he hypothesized but it was still an option. It was fine though, all would be well. That sheltered mindset of hers would just have to broken a bit. She'd come to rely on him, she'd have no other choice afterall.

She hadn't experienced much of human cruelty, he'd just have to show her how cruel they could really be and then she would have to seek his aid.

* * *

Everyone in town today had been on edge it seemed. She left Aiden at home sound asleep, while she went out to go and buy veggies and meat she couldn't get in the forest. As she walked toward a thrifter many people side eyed her. She was the only person to walk with a hood on. In fact many people generations before this one too when asked had seen her.

As she got up to the vegetable thrifter the man in front of her had scowled. She saw this but just thought he was having a bad day. That's when someone came behind her and pulled her hood down abruptly.

"A fae! A fae in the village!"

"She's the one who cursed the crops! If we kill her the curse will end!"

"Someone grab her!"

Before she knew it she ran, someone did lay a hand on her but she pushed them away with wind magic. It wasn't on purpose, but fear overtook her person and magic required self control.

She wanted to run back to her house but with how fast the mob was chasing she couldn't put Aiden at risk like that. Maybe just maybe if she went back to the forest, he'd be there. He could help her, or Lilia either would do.

* * *

She didn't see him. Maybe her words struck a cord. She should have agreed. A stupid decision on her own part, he could've probably taken them somewhere where people like her were accepted. Where magic was used and no worries to be had.

She just narrowly dodged an arrow fired at her. It seemed the mob had caught up. Turning her attention back toward their screeches, what could she do?

In a last ditch effort attempt she called his name.

"Malleus!" The crowd closing in on her arrows knocked and aimed. So this was it huh?

Suddenly something slithers around her body, her waist to be more precise and holds her in a vice grip.

A tail? Of long reach with a purple scales of a dark pigment.

Before it pulled her into the darkness of the forest behind her. Until she felt a chest that placed her gently to the ground freeing her from the grip the of the tail that had once gripped her tightly.

She saw a light emitted from where she had once been, green flames took its place in her stead.

"I do hope you'll accept my offer to stay with me now, my love." Malleus's voice brought her out of her stupor, a frown seeing her in such fear. He didn't want to go so far but he would rather have liked her to willingly agree to living with him as his Queen. She wouldn't have any worries should she live her life on the throne worshipped by everyone.

"Wait! Wait! Please let me bring Aiden I can't leave my brother behind!" She had gripped his clothing turning around desperate tears spilling.

Speaking of said boy who popped his head from behind the fae that stood in front of her, smiled and ran to hug his sister.

"Y/n! Malleus let me up on his shoulders he was so tall! Wait why are you crying?" Her brother's happiness went away for a moment at the tears he saw from his older sibling.

She was shocked, since when had he been here. He was asleep before, she was sure. It didn't make any sense.

"Aiden how, ... why are you here?"

"Lilia offered to teach me more magic! He said it was dangerous to teach me inside the house so we came out here." For a second she thought it was a dream. A bad dream turned good.

"Were you worried? Sorry, I'll tell you next time I promise." Aiden hugged her after finishing his sentence trying comfort his sister from her state of fear. It worked a little having her shoulders relax.

Malleus had stroked her head to sooth her worries as well. A small smile graced his lips at the scene before him.

"Worry not my dear, I'll accept all parts of you. Of course I'd never forget your dear brother. Will you accept my proposal now?" He was awaiting an answer, the same look in his eyes akin to when he asked if she could use magic.

"Yes I do, it was my mistake for denying your offer in the first place. I'm sorry Malleus."

He was happy that the situation had caused her to regret her answer. Of course he didn't outwardly show it. But he was internally pleased. His new queen and energetic little brother would make a wonderful addition to the Draconian line.

As they disappeared instantly to where their new home would be, Malleus left behind some what one would call fireflies by the looks of it. They were just traces of his magic to other faes. It was a calling for someone else though.

The town the two faes once called home was being destroyed as soon as they left. Screams upon screams could be heard one after another. Flames of red and orange to destroy and have no one alive to recall the prescene of two royal clan faes.

All done by three, one wise fae, and two knights that served to do everything their master asked of them. It would all be gone while Malleus would help them settle into their new lives, the one they deserved from the beginning, if humans hadn't taken it from them.

Meet the one who makes me happy

Summary:

It's Christmas time, family time, so even though Christmas is not celebrated on Asgard, Frigga wants to take advantage of this moment to meet the one who makes her son happy. But Mobius is anxious...

Day 22: Family

Notes:

I dream of a meeting between Frigga and Mobius

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35877043

915 words - Rating G

Loki and Mobius walked towards Frigga who was waiting for them at the end of the rainbow bridge. Even though Christmas was not an Asgardian custom, Frigga had insisted on having a small family reunion, arguing that it was the perfect opportunity to get to know Mobius. As they walked along, Loki noticed Mobius' pace slowing down, he looked at him and noticed his strained expression.

"Mobius?"

Mobius continued to walk forward and answered with his gaze still fixed in front of him.

"Hmm?"

Loki asked, "Are you okay?"

Mobius turned his head toward him and replied, "I'm fine."

"Really?" insisted Loki.

"Yes." Mobius replied rather curtly. But Loki didn't take offense - he knew Mobius well and knew that his tone hid something else. Turning his gaze to the figure of his mother at the end of the bridge, he said softly, "She doesn't bite, you know."

Mobius paused and turned to Loki as he replied, "I know, well no, actually I don't know, but... I'd be stressed out already if your mother was a 'normal' person but this is Frigga, I mean..."

Carefully, Loki took Mobius' hand, and rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb in a way that was meant to be reassuring.

"Mobius she's going to love you, I'm sure."

Mobius gave a small nod and a half-smile, but Loki saw that he hadn't convinced him.

Loki leaned over to look Mobius straight in the eye and said in a determined voice, "Hey I mean it you know!"

"I know you mean it, but you can't speak for her."

"Are you really that nervous?" asked Loki.

Mobius turned his head away, doing his best to hide his embarrassment.

"Don't make fun of me."

"Never Mobius, but I'd really like to reassure you. I swear I have no doubt that my mother will love you. Besides, my guess is that she already loves you without knowing you."

Mobius chuckled softly, "That doesn't reassure me. What if upon making my acquaintance, she was disappointed."

Loki couldn't hold Mobius in his arms, and he whispered against his hair, "No risk. In his eyes you're already a saint because you brought back the prodigal son."

He felt Mobius chuckle against him and mutter, "Nonsense. I didn't do anything. You did it all by yourself."

Then Mobius stepped back a little and took on a serious expression, "Seriously Loki, what if she doesn't like me?"

Loki refused to consider it and shook his head, "That's not possible.

"I'm serious," Mobius said abruptly, "If she doesn't like me, what does that mean for us?"

Loki finally understood the real fear behind it all, the visceral fear of losing him. He put his hands on Mobius' shoulders and answered firmly, "It won't change anything for us. I'm not going to stop loving you even if my mother doesn't, which is completely unlikely, I insist."

Loki leaned over and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "I love you Mobius, and nothing will change that. My mother never tried to change my mind about anything, because she knew I would react the opposite. But you know, my mother will realize something right away when she sees me."

Mobius looked up at Loki, puzzled.

"What?"

Loki looked at him fondly, "That you simply make me happy."

Mobis said nothing for a long moment and then he took Loki's hand in his, and brought it gently to his lips.

"I don't deserve you."

"Nonsense," Loki said, "Neither of us deserves the other, because our relationship isn't like that. We love each other despite our flaws. That's all that matters. Neither of us is worthy or unworthy of the other because we are equals."

Loki smiled inwardly, because it was a discussion they often had, each finding themselves unworthy of the other, but in the end they were so complementary that one always found the words to reassure the other. It was only during moments of doubt that the subject would come up again.

"Are you ready?" asked Loki.

Mobius looked up at him again and standing on his tiptoes, he kissed him gently on the lips. Then, taking a deep breath, he grabbed Loki's hand and said, in a firm tone, "Let's go."

They began to move toward Frigga again, Mobius keeping Loki's hand in his. He kept it until they reached Frigga, and when Mobius wanted to let go, Loki kept his hand firmly in his. All this under the amused look of Frigga who had not lost anything of the silent exchange.

Mobius extended his hand to greet Frigga, and found himself caught in a warm embrace that melted all his doubts like snow in the sun.

Then releasing him, but keeping his hand in hers, Frigga disarmed Mobius with her honesty, "It's good to finally meet you," then she turned to Loki winking at him and added, "To meet the person who makes you happy my son. Come."

Frigga held out her other hand and Loki grabbed it. The three of them ended up embracing as Frigga whispered, "Merry Christmas my boys."

Suddenly they startled, Thor's thunderous voice interrupting the sweet moment, "Let's get down to the good stuff my friends! Let's go celebrate!"

In a joyful hubbub, led by Thor, they all headed for the palace.

Mobius squeezed Loki's hand in his. Loki looked at him and saw that all traces of doubt and uncertainty had disappeared from Mobius' eyes, he read there only joy and love.

_________

As always, bear with me as it is not beta'd and english is not my native language. I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless🥰

Remus x Reader

"Second chances"

(Warning : sadness ahead.)

You look at the piece of paper in your hand and smile as you see the famous Hogwarts train..the same train you took a few years back as a student. And now ? You would be returning as a teacher. You get on the train and look for a place to seat. You see that all of them are full but one, with only three students and a man inside. You open the door and sit down with a wide smile.

" Hi ! I'm Y/N L/N. The new potion assistant."

They all politely shake your hand while telling you their names as well. Your eyes widen when you hear that Harry Potter is among them. You are about to tell him that you were an old friend of Lily when the red-head next to you interrupts you, his face as white as a sheet.

" Wait..Potion's assistant ?! As in, assistant of the donjon bat ?!"

Hermione gives him a warning look, but you only laugh lightly.

" Donjon bat ? Is that what kids are calling him those days ?"

They all seem surprised as you don't seem offended, only mildly amused.

" Wait..You know professor Rogue ?!"

It's Hermione's turn to be surprised and you only nod in response.

" Of course I know Severus. We were friends.."

" Were ?"

Harry picks on and your smile turns downward as you remember that Severus and you hadn't talked to each other since..Lily's death. However, you don't have to answer the boy that the train abruptly stops. You frown before looking outside and freeze when you feel thee familiar cold air entering the wagon.

" Dementors.."

You whisper as the temperature lowers more and more. You then see the darkness making its way towards your door and then, the door open ajar, letting the monster inside. He inspects all of the passengers before finally landing his attention on Harry. The boy is paralysed by fear and the dementor takes it as an opportunity to get a taste..However, the sleeping man and you get up at the same time and yell.

" Expecto Patronum !"

The flying nightmare gets ejected out of your wagon and leaves you all try to get your breath back. You automatically crouch beside Harry to make sure he is fine and the stranger kneels beside him as well.

" Are you okay, Harry ?"

You ask and he nods silently.

" Yeah..What was that thing ?!"

Before you could answer, the stranger does it for you.

" Dementors from Azkaban, they're searching for Sirius Black."

At the name, you close your eyes and feel nauseous..To think that Sirius could be the one behind Lily's and James' death..It just didn't make any sense to you. Sirius was the best friend of James, and a good soul..But no matter how much you fought to prove he had nothing to do with it, nothing could be done. This is why you had gone. The pain was too much..The only guilt you had was to have left Severus and Remus behind. You wonder, are they the same now ? Where is Remus even ? Is he alright ? However, the stranger gets you out of your thoughts by standing up and extending a hand towards you.

" I should probably go see if any of the other students need help, while you can stay with Miss..?"

You smile and accept his hand for him to get you up.

" L/N. Y/N."

Suddenly, his grip seems to tighten and his eyes to darken as he looks straight at you with what you can only imagine to be sadness and he takes a step back, as if your touch had suddenly shifted to burning lava. He doesn't tell you his name, even though you feel as if you had already seen him somewhere and walks out. However, he turns one last time to give a piece of chocolate to Harry.

" Here. Eat. You'll feel better."

You want to follow him, ask him for his name and why he seemed shocked by the mention of your name. But, you have to stay with Harry, as he was the perfect victim for the dementors. You decide to do as you were told and stay with the Golden trio until arrival. As soon as you are out, you search for the mysterious man, but cannot find him anywhere. The trio enters a carriage and you climb up with them, sharing it with a strawberry blond girl with clear blue eyes. A ravenclaw, no doubt. Her cleverness shows behind her eyes as she looks at each one of you until she speaks. She talks about thestrals and your eyes brighten. You always thought that those creatures were amazing and the reflection of past mistakes..However, you wonder, what past mistakes did you commit this time ? You enter in the surroundings of the castle and shiver at the sensation..You were home. Home again. You get out of the carriage and see that McGonagall is waiting for you. She smiles when she sees you and takes you to the Great Hall.

" It's been so long, Y/N. To think that two of my most brilliant students are going to be reunited this year.."

You frown and want to ask what she is referring to, but your eyes land on the man who had saved Harry in the wagon. You sit down next to him and see Severus that addresses you only a dismissive sideway glance. You smile at him, but he doesn't reciprocate. You sigh loudly before listening to the headmaster's welcome speech. It brings back memories, of James dancing on the table, of Sirius singing so high to cover his speech with a modification spell..and Remus. Remus smiling and laughing at his friends idiotic acts, but still defending them. But then, the murder happened..And you had to leave. The headmaster calls your name and you stand up with a small smile, but then, he calls another name..

" We also have a new teacher of defense against the dark arts: professor Remus Lupin."

The man stands up and bows slightly forward, but you are too shocked to do the same..Even after he sits back down, it take you a few seconds to sit back down. You decide to look over to Severus that is staring right at you. However, he doesn't linger and only looks at the students, knowing that among them is the son of Lily..Harry Potter. However, as soon as dinner is over, you want to talk to Severus, but he walks out quickly, followed by the waves of new slytherin students. You sigh before turning around and falling face to face with Remus that seems as surprised as you.

" Y/N ? It has been a while.."

He smiles sadly with his eyes translating a sort of melancholy. You smile back and nod.

" Indeed Remus..It has been a while. Didn't think we would bump into each other here. Of all places."

He chuckles while looking up at the ceiling, as if trying to find his words from the gargoyles..

"..This is where Sirius took the old quidditch teacher's broom and broke it in half..I remember the earful we had gotten from McGonagall.."

You smile fondly at the memory of Sirius whistling while riding said broom. You look at each other and stay in comfortable silence, until a familiar low and deep voice makes itself heard behind you.

" Well, if it isn't the beauty and the beast..Reunited again. How charming.."

You turn around to face Severus that seems highly unimpressed, an eyebrow raised and arms crossed over his torso. His hair is longer and he is dressed in darker clothes than you remembered him..but besides that, he hadn't changed much. His eyes still hold a sadness and hatred that the loss of Lily had only worsen. You are about to talk when Remus does it for you. He takes a step forwards to stare directly in Severus' eyes.

" Happy to see you as well, Severus. Glad to hear that your long-lasting sarcasm hasn't faded over the years..I take it that you weren't aware that miss L/N would be coming back as well..?"

Severus doesn't falter his gaze, not even taking the time to give you a side glance.

" Obviously."

It is only then that he looks at you with a flicker of hurt in his eyes, but quickly gets back his composure to look back at Remus.

" You both have class tomorrow. I would advise you both to get back to your private quarters.."

And with that, he walks down the corridor without giving you a second glance. You want to go after him, but Remus stops you at the last minute.

" I wouldn't do that if I were you. Severus hasn't been quite himself since you left and seeing you again may be..painful to him ?"

You look between Remus and the way Severus had gone and finally agree.

" You're right. I shouldn't intervene too much.."

He smiles for a second before turning around to walk towards his own quarters. You can only stare at him until the light of his wand disappears completely. You smile sadly, knowing that your return wasn't painful only for Severus..Remus waits until he is in his room before letting go of his emotions. He soundproofs the room with his wand and takes a shaky breath before screaming so loud that it hurts. He doubled in pain and slides down to sit and bury his face in his hands to hide his tears. He had Sirius to save and now, another ghost from his past had come back to haunt him..He sits on his bed as images of the past swirl in his mind.

Flashback :

Your younger self is running through the woods, looking for someone. She finally finds a quivering Remus covered in blood and a dead deer by his side. Young Remus looks up at her and starts sobbing as he extends his hand towards her.

" Please..Don't go. I'm sorry. I know I'm a monster but, I don't want to be alone.."

She only smiles compassionately before kneeling in front of him and taking his hand.

" You're not alone Remus, and you're not a monster either."

He seems stunned for a moment, but smiles hopefully before taking you in his arms, crying in your shoulder.

" You..You don't think I'm a monster ?"

You hold on to him even tighter and answer confidently.

" Never..I would never think that."

He backs away a bit to ask, his voice filled with hope and desperate need.

" You'll stay with me then ?"

You smile and nod.

" Forever.."

End of flashback.

Remus lies down on his bed and closes his eyes, listening to the different sounds he can hear from the outside. After a while, he falls asleep, his head filled with memories of you..and how you betrayed your promise.

Next day :

You wake up just in time for your first lesson with Severus. You dress rapidly before running outside and barging in the great hall. Multiple head shot up to look at you, and one of them is Severus that looks at you with barely hidden disdain and the same unimpressed expression as last night. You also quickly notice Remus' empty seat and sigh before taking your place. You just have the time to grab a toast that the food disappears and the headmaster stands up to announce the beginning of classes. Severus doesn't wait for you and walks out of the great hall in a hurry as soon as Dumbledore is done talking. You have to hurry to catch up with him and are relieved when he waits for you in front of the class.

" You didn't need to go so fast..I nearly fell three times following you !"

You complain, but he only snorts.

" Incompetent and lazy..That's a good start."

You can't believe his words and humph loudly before following him inside. But he doesn't acknowledge your disapproval and only starts looking through his papers, preparing the class as the students would soon arrive. A few minutes later, the students sit down and you wait for Severus to make the introduction..which he doesn't.

" Amortentia. You have 40 minutes. Be quick."

You frown as he sits back down at his desk and leaves the students to do the potion on their own. You see many struggling and decide to go help them.

" Here, you have to be more gentle with the Ashwinder eggs. Come on, let me show you.."

You take the knife and gently cut the eggs to add them to the mixture. But, suddenly, Severus slams his hands flat on the desk, making you and the nearby students jump in surprise.

" Miss L/N! Do I have to remind you that you are not to interfere with my class unless I tell you so?"

He surely thinks that you'll back down and apologize, but you only stand up to face him. You don't step back and stare right back at him before answering straightforwardly.

" Your students should have been more prepared. They barely know which ingredient is which and you want them to learn how to bottle love ?! Dear Merlin, this is insane."

You can see his eyes darken and he menacingly says.

" If you don't like how I teach, miss L/N..Maybe it is best for you to leave !"

Your next words stay stuck in your throat at his forbidden expression and you grit your teeths before getting out and slamming the door behind you. Of course, you get a visit from Dumbledore a few hours later, insisting that you make peace with Severus. You take a big breath before knocking at his door. You hear a few muffled curses on the other side before the door opens, showing Severus with his hair disheveled and covered in ink stains.

" What do you want ?"

He harshly asks while eyeing you up and down in distaste.

" Can we talk ?"

You reply, doing your best to hide your thoughts from him and anything that would betray you. You need to talk to him, and he would listen, that he wants to or not..With another glare, he finally gives in and opens the door ajar for you to enter. You walk inside and look around. Not a lot of personal items or anything other than practical. Your eyes then land on him, looking at you impatiently with his arms crossed and tapping his foot on the ground.

" So ? What did you want to talk about ? How you interrupted my class ? Made a fool out of me ? If so, there is no need. I do not care that the headmaster appointed you as my assistant. Disrespect me again ? And I won't hesitate before throwing you out of my class and this school. You may have thought that our..past..would bring you some kind of special treatment, but I can assure you that that is not the case and I.."

" Are you finished ?"

You cut him off and he seems surprised, but you don't let him speak again before he hears what you have to say. You move forward until your noses nearly touch and thrust your finger on his torso multiple times, as to make yourself clear.

" I don't know what I've ever done to deserve such wrath from you, but those students have done nothing to deserve this. As for our "past", Severus. Consider it erased. I don't know what you thought I was there to do, but I have a job now. Unlike you, I am not stuck in the past. I may be your assistant, but I am not your student and you have no right to speak to me this way. Professor Snape, I am as qualified as you and this will be the last time I will ever let you embarrass me this way. We used to be friends, I thought that maybe we could get along as colleagues, but I was obviously wrong. I am not here to apologize, because you are the one who should be apologizing."

He snorts at that before looking down at you and you can feel the tension rising as he stares down at you with a sneer.

" Really, Y/N ? Are you sure about that ? Your memory must be hazy, let me clear it up for you.."

You don't understand until he looks straight at you and uses his legilimens on you. You see yourself, Lily and Severus playing together. You see multiple memories of your life at Hogwarts together and then, the fall. Severus knocking at your door in the middle of the night and begging you to let him enter. You then see yourself opening the door to a sobbing Severus, carrying Lily's body in his arms. The last memory he shows you is the day that you left, a few days after James' and Lily's funeral.

You come back to see the eyes full of pain and sorrow of Severus that his gripping your shirt tightly. He is keeping himself from breaking up in tears in front of you. You feel bad and try to gently stroke his cheek, but he grabs your arm before you could go through your action.

" Get out.."

The order is so low that you don't pick up on it until his eyes stare right at you and he yells.

" I said get out !"

This time, he drags you out and locks the door behind you. You stay still for a few seconds before clenching your jaw and turning away to leave. You thought you could make peace, but Severus doesn't want peace, he wants to be left alone and hated by all. You tried to talk to him, but he doesn't want to listen. You try to talk to him some more in the weeks that follow, but he ignores and when you're in his class, any step closer to him and he glares at you or yells at the students. As if just by being near you, he would burn to ashes. Before you know it, the Yule Ball approaches and even though you know that Severus is probably not among the crowd, another one is. You see Remus smiling at you and making his way to you.

" Well, glad to see you. I was starting to think that you were ignoring me ?"

You laugh and shake your head.

" No, Remus. I wasn't ignoring you, I was searching to get back a friend that I lost."

He seems to understand and nods.

" I see. Well, maybe you should apologize ?"

You snort, as if you hadn't tried for the last few months..

" I tried, but failed. I only have one year here, and if I don't make it up to all those I've wronged..I may never find peace."

He sighs and guides you away from the crowd of students, on one of the bridges of the school. You then stay next to each other, looking at the night sky and it's you that decide to break the silence.

" I'm sorry, Remus. I should have at least say goodbye but, I couldn't. I was afraid of his reaction. I couldn't even say goodbye to you after what happened to Pettigrew.."

Remus nods before looking at the sky again with a a small dreamy smile dancing on his lips.

" You remember when we used to watch the stars together ? It was on one of those nights that I asked you to the Yule Ball. I was so nervous..I can't believe the years that have passed. The people we lost along the way. And even though, we're still here. The beauty, the beast and the donjon bat..You never wish that Lily or James were still here ? Instead of Severus and I ?"

You frown and shake your head vividly before taking his hand to squeeze it lightly.

" Of course not, Remus. Nobody should have died. What happened..It was unfortunate and cruel. None of us deserved it. And between us ? I always wondered if you weren't the beauty in this story of ours."

He looks at you with widened eyes and you only chuckle at his surprise before looking at your hands. Once he understands that you weren't joking, he laughs as well before adding.

" Why ? Because you were my princess in shining armor ?"

You smile up at him and gently caress his scarred cheek. He instantly closes his eyes and melts into the soft gesture before pressing his own hand against yours.

" Always, Remus. No matter if you are a werewolf, a man or a beast..It doesn't mean that my heart stopped belonging to you. Leaving was the most painful decision I ever took."

Remus opens his glassy eyes and tears start rolling down his cheeks.

" Then, why did you leave me ?"

You feel your heart tighten in your chest and take a step back, digging the tip your fingernails in the palms of your hands to prevent you from telling him the true reason.

" I'm sorry, Remus. I think it is better that I don't stay close to you..It may be dangerous."

He frowns in incomprehension before asking, his voice trembling with sorrow.

" For you ?"

You would have laughed at the question if it wasn't for the emotional is which he asked it. You turn around and shake your head again.

" No. For you, Remus. There are things I had to sacrifice to be here today. Things that I may never get back. Become attach to me, and you'll suffer.."

He frowns in confusion, but before he could take your hand, you walk away. As soon as you are in your room, you sigh loudly and start sobbing. You knew it would be painful, but still..Suddenly, hands wrap themselves around you and you lean in, knowing perfectly who it is.

" Are you sure that it was a good idea to come ?"

Severus asks and you can only wipe your tears and try to breathe better as he holds you even tighter.

" No..But it was necessary. We both have someone we want to protect. I saw Lily's child, he looks like her."

He nods, but prevents you from turning around to face him. When you finally succeed in turning around, you see that he was crying, and an empty bottle of firewhisky was on the carpet.

" Oh Severus.."

You moan in sadness at the sight of him in such a state. He is drunk and can barely look at you in the eye.

" It isn't fair. I know why you left..but it is still not fair."

You bat your eyes heavily, as to not cry in front of him and agree.

" I know, it wasn't fair..But, it's what had to be done. I couldn't stay, Sev'. I had to do something."

He sits down on a nearby chair, not having enough force to stay up and supports his head with his hand to look at you.

" And ? Did you ?"

You smile and nod.

" I did. It won't bring back Lily or James..But it will save others."

You decide to finally show him and take out the thing you had been searching for all these years: the time turner. His eyes widen significantly and he looks at the object for several minutes before standing up again and observing it more closely.

" Incredible. I thought that there was only one in the World.."

" Two. This one is a prototype, and it would break if even one alteration to the time-line was to happen."

His breath quickens as he touches the object and weighs it in his hand, as if to check that it is real. Once he is completely convinced, he frowns and asks in a trembling voice.

" W..Why didn't you use it to rescue her ?"

You don't need the name to understand who he is referring to and you shake your head.

" I'm sorry, Severus..But, Lily is too important. She is the mother of Harry and without her death, the Dark Lord will never be defeated."

He groans in pain as his dizzy mind starts spinning around and he has to seat again in order not to fall. You sigh and take a blanket to cover him.

" You can sleep here tonight..Just, sober up."

Once his eyes close, you take a shaky breath before looking at the time turner in your hand..If he only knew what you know, he would understand that you had no choice. Too many deaths haven't occurred yet. Deaths that you could prevent. You lay on your bed and sleep quickly takes over you. When you wake up, Severus us gone and replaced by a neatly folded blanket. You sigh before standing up. However, you can see that it is still dark outside and have a sudden strange feeling that something isn't right. You grab your wand and get out to see Severus' cape disappearing at a corner. You decide to follow him and get outside, near the Whomping Willow. You eyes widen as you understand in which moment in time you were..Pettigrew. It doesn't take you long to know what you are supposed to do. You dive under it and succeed in entering the secret passage which leads to the most important episode of Harry's life. You enter the room just in time to see Sirius about to denounce the treachery of your long lost friend: Peter Pettigrew. You also see Severus with his wand withdrawn, about to attack Sirius. You quickly get out your own and disarm him. He looks at you with surprise and betrayal.

" Why ?!"

He shouts and you answer with a sad smile.

" Because I believe in second chances.."

He grits his teeths and shakes his head in disapproval.

" There are no second chances.."

Severus is about to grab his wand again when Remus uses his wand to throw him away. You look at Remus that seems caught up in the situation but then, you see him look up and stare at the full moon..You know what is to come. You could stop Pettigrew now, or try to save the love of your life. You walk towards Remus confidently while Sirius is trying to calm him down the best he can. You put a hand on his face and force him to look you in the eye.

" Remus, I know you can hear me. I'm here. And I'm not giving up on you. So, don't you dare give up on yourself..You are a teacher at Hogwarts. The best teacher. You taught me to never give up, to always see the bright side and now, I need you to find that bright side in yourself and keep holding on to it. Do not look at the moon. Look at me."

He seems to hesitate for a moment, but finally, his eyes get back to their usual color and you take him in your arms, not wanting him to fall on the floor. Pettigrew is long gone by now, but you are glad to have at least helped Remus control himself. At least, he will remain a teacher..You smile and then, Sirius puts something in your hand, the marauders map. You look up at him with confusion, but he doesn't explain. He takes your place and carries him towards the castle while you tell Hermione and Harry to go in the forest, follow their destiny. They don't seem to understand, but you trust them enough to know that they'll do the right thing..You leave them go ahead and use the Time Turner, knowing exactly where you are supposed to go now. It is time..

You appear at the battle of Hogwarts and look around for Greyback that you see following Remus in the castle. You only have a few seconds to think about what to do and finally decide to follow them. Greyback has Remus cornered and you put yourself in front of him defensively. You yell a protection spell while pointing your hand out towards him.

" Protego Totalum !"

You then run towards Greyback at full speed and make him fall headfirst against the wall that collapses with both of your weight. But just as you are about to fall to your death, Remus, that had been fast enough to get out of the way, grabs your arm and shouts.

" Hold on !"

You look up and smile at him before taking the Time Turner in your hand.

" Don't worry..I've got it covered.."

You then look up again with tears in your eyes. The Time Turner is broken, but he doesn't know that..You had altered greatly the time-line, it wouldn't work.

" Remus ! Before I go, I want you to promise something to me !"

He nods, his eyes looking down at you for a moment and you smile with tears in your eyes.

" Promise me that, no matter what, you and Tonks will live ! I want you to be happy, Remus..Enjoy the second chance I have given you. I love you, Remus."

He frowns at that last part but, before he could answer, you let go of his hand and fall, the broken Time Turner clutched in your hand. You know that it was meant to work only once, that any shift in the time-line would break it..A life for a life. You think of Ted, his child that would see him again. You think of Tonks, she would die without him. And finally, you think of Remus..You look up at him one last time and smile genuinely at him.

" Nooooo !"

He cries out when you let go of his hand and fall to your demise. However, someone stops you from falling to your death. You open your eyes and see Severus with his wand withdrawn. You smile gratefully at him and he smiles back. But, you don't have the time to warn him as you see Nagini crawling behind him. He grimaces in pain as the giant snake bites his ankle.

" Severus! No!"

You run towards and catch him as he collapses. You cradle his face in your arms and gently remove the hair from his face to look him in the eye.

" You fool! Why did you do it?!"

He takes your hand in his and smiles while giving you his reason.

" I couldn't lose you..like I lost Lily. At least, this time, I wasn't too late.."

You can't help but smile tenderly at him and kiss his forehead.

" No..You weren't."

You then see Harry running towards you and you feel your heart sink, knowing that he needs a tear from Severus..his last tear. You start sobbing while tightening your hold on his body, even after his last breath left his body. Remus is by your side and puts his hand on your shoulder.

" He's gone..Come on."

You look up at him and, to your surprise, see that he was crying too.

" T..Tonks ?"

You ask and he shakes his head negatively, adding to your pain as you look back at Severus.

" I..I thought things would be different."

Remus kneels down beside you and closes Severus' eyes significantly, a sign of respect and sorrow.

" He was a great man..Better than many of us."

You nod in agreement before replying sincerely.

" So was Tonks. I'm sorry for your loss."

You look at each other and instinctively throw yourselves in each other's arms. There are so many things left unsaid, but for now, you would comfort each other the best you can.

A few weeks after :

You are about to get on the train, ready to leave this damned school and all of its miseries behind when you hear someone running after you. You turn around to see a panting Remus.

" Is it true ? You love me ?"

He asks and you wait for him to get his breath back before answering truthfully.

" I do."

He stares at you for a second before straightening himself and looking at everything but you. He rubs the back of his neck nervously before asking you.

" I..I was actually going back to the muggle world to take care of Ted. I have no experience whatsoever at being a parent but, I guess that if I had someone with me..It would be easier. I mean..If you want to ?"

You freeze for a moment, wondering if you had heard him right. But, once you are sure you didn't imagine him asking you to stay with him, you smile and take his hand.

" I guess that there are worst ends than this. Very well. Lead the way, Remus."

He only chuckles before going inside with you. However, just when the train start, he leans in and kisses you. Before you can reciprocate, he takes a step back, blaming it on the abrupt movement of the train. But, the small smile he gives you while walking ahead makes you think otherwise. You finally smile too before taking your suitcase and following him.

" Looks like you were wrong Sev', everyone can have a second chance.."

This was a request from @remusbabyvampire. Hope you like it. 😁
