mutual pining mutual pining mutual pining <3333

--

"Y/N! Look," Eddie gushes, racing up to you with something in his hand, "I caught one!"

You look at the creature squished between his fingers, a writhing beetle that looks furious at being held captive. It's buzzing threateningly, and your stomach churns.

"Ew, Eddie no!" You shriek, sprinting away from your best friend who chases after you with a devilish giggle, "You know I hate bugs!"

--

"'Course I do," Eddie's only a few measly steps behind you as you race through the woods, leaves crunching beneath your feet as the beetle pinched in Eddie's grip flaps its wings, "That's why I do it!"

You reach the door of his trailer, wrenching it open and slamming the door shut behind you. It's a safe zone, because the last time Eddie had followed you inside and let a centipede loose, Wayne almost made him eat it.

He's sitting on the couch when you arrive, your chest heaving as Eddie mocks you for your cowardice behind the door. Wayne glances up at you with an amused smirk, shaking his head, "All these years, 'never stop teasin' each other, do 'ya?"

"Never," Eddie's voice comes from the gap in the door you didn't know he'd created, and you squeal, rushing to lean against the kitchen counter. He holds his hands up in surrender at you, no bug in sight, but you're still angry with him for chasing you, so you take an apple from the counter and chuck it at him.

"Ow!" It smacks against Eddie's chest, and he yanks the neckline of his shirt down to reveal a slowly reddening spot above his pec, "What the fuck?"

"Language," Wayne hisses, launching a pillow off the couch at Eddie's head.

The boy barely catches it in time, his dramatic expression only deepening tenfold, "Would you two stop trying to kill me?"

"Wuss," Wayne rolls his eyes fondly at Eddie, "'F you keep bringin' bugs around here, Y/N's gonna kill you f'real."

"You'd never," Eddie gushes, tilting his head dramatically towards you, "You'd miss my pretty face."

"I'd throw you a nice funeral." You smile patronizingly at him, reaching out to squeeze one of his hands, "I'd even get a metallica cover band that costs more than twenty bucks."

"Well shit," Eddie balks, his weight shifting to his left foot and creasing the toe of his sneaker, "Might as well just get the real thing for that much dough."

"Over $20 was me being nice to you, Eddie." You scoff, swatting at his shoulder, "I'm still mad at you, remember?"

"Whatever! I just want you to know I let that beetle go far away from here, 's not like it's in my pocket or anything and I would never put it under your pillow."

"I'm staying here tonight, idiot." You back away, eyeing his pocket warily, "We sleep on the same pillow!"

"Well unlike you, I like-" Eddie pats his pocket, perhaps a little too hard, a sickening crunch coming from inside the fabric, "-Y/N Junior.. Oh no."

"You killed me!" You flop over the counter, tongue stuck out of your mouth theatrically, "You killed me!"

"Well, I'll throw you a nice funeral," Eddie mocks you, a frown on his face at the prospect of cleaning up Squashed Bug, "And for the record, I'd get the real metallica to play you off."

September

"y/n?" you hear your roommates faint voice calling out your name.

You dont bother to answer because you know she's going to come into your room at any second now.

And you're right. "y/n??" Your door opens a few seconds later.

You groan in response, not looking up and instead staying in your little cocoon of blankets.

"no babygirl what are you doing?" you feel the bed shift under lias weight when she sits down.

"what does it look like i'm doing?" you grumble back, her hand gently rubbing over your arm.

"sulking, babe" she replies, dropping her purse to the ground.

"10 points for griffyndor" you sniffle as you scooch and sit up, pushing the blankets half off of you at which she sighs.

"wooyoung was not that good of a boyfriend for you to still be crying over him" lia presses her lips together concernedly.

She's right, you know it. It has almost been two months and you still feel like crying everytime someone mentions him.

"i know" you nod somewhat defeatedly "still, i was with him for almost a year and" you hiccup "he literally ripped my heart out and trampled on it"

"i know" lia nods understandingly "but i do think it would help if you went out again, even if its just for a night, you know just to be around people"

"it probably would but i just dont have the energy for it" you shrug your shoulders.

"i get it, girl, i really do" she pats your knee "both of my exes cheated on me, my only luck was that they were both awful at hiding it so i found out pretty quickly" she huffs.

You force out a chuckle, from what you heard from one of the girls that wooyoung cheated on you with, was that it started 3 months into your relationship.

"this the most humiliating thing ever, lia" you scoff "being with someone for so long, trusting them and telling them all your secrets and you think they are doing the same for you but then realizing that they were faking it all along to have multiple side chicks, and the fact that i was too oblivious to figure it out is the icing on the cake" you rub your forehead, feeling a migrane approach due to the sheer amount of crying you've been doing.

She seems to know what's happening and hands you the water bottle next to your bed "hydrate, sis"

So, you do. Taking four big gulps out of the water bottle.

Once you place the bottle next to you and tie your hair in a messy bun, you look at your roommate more thuroughly now that the tears are wiped away.

"you look pretty" you compliment her makeup and casual yet chic outfit "what'd you do tonight?"

Her contagious grin spreads over her face, eyes turning into little crescents.

"chris took me to the fair in town" lia grins before her face drops "I'm sorry, this is maybe not the time to ta-"

"No! It is, tell me about it" you interrupt her.

"O-okay" she nods hesitantly "well, i dont know if you've been keeping track but today was our fourth date and it was amazing" she gushes.

"I cant believe how much i like him, like, its crazy" she squeals a little, at which you giggle.

"so, fourth date huh? And he hasnt tried to get into your pants yet?" you quip.

"nope, i initiated our first kiss and other than that nothing" she whispers the last words before laughing.

"thats great" you smile, genuinely happy for her.

"Hmm yea" she sings as she gets up "i'll go to bed now too"

"Oh, hey, i have an idea" lia speaks up when standing in your doorway "chris has this performance thingy in two days, you should totally come!" she offers enthusiastically.

"he has a band?" you ask, partly to distract her from her offer.

"Hmm not really a band, they're a trio and there is this performance on saturday where a bunch of underground artists perform, i didnt fully listen if im honest" she giggles "but you should come with me!!" she jumps excitedly.

"i dont kno-"

"y/n pleasee? You'd do me a huge favor too because i dont know anyone there" lia pleads, clutchig her hands together.

"you know chris" you rebuttal.

"and what am i supposed to do when he's performing? stand around like an idiot? please y/n" she pouts.

"I dont really think this is my type of crowd..." you scratch your head.

"please please please" she jumps once more.

You sigh and tilt your head as you look at her sternly.

"one of his friends is single" she adds carefully.

"and cute" she sings "from what ive seen in pictures" she adds.

"lia" you groan.

"I'll do your laundry for two weeks if you come with me"

"you will?" Your head snaps towards her.

"yes i will! i promise, just come with me, please?"

A long sigh leaves your lips "okay"

-

The strong bass of the loud music rings in your chest as soon as you step foot into the club where “3racha” is supposed to be performing tonight.

Lia comes to a halt and you almost run into her because you were to busy checking out the venue and the other people around you.

“sorry” you mumble and hold onto her arm to avoid getting lost in the crowd.

She pulls out her phone and clicks on her and hers and chris’s chat, to figure out where to meet them, you assume.

“okay” lia puts her phone back into her jeans pocket and grabs your hand “they’re backstage, lets go”

“can we just go there?” you almost yell for her to understand what you’re saying.

“yea! Chris said he’ll make sure we’ll get in, come on” she tugs at your hand for you to walk faster.

You waddle behind her, barely dodging some drunk guys beer that goes flying before you arrive at the sign that says “artists only” and a black curtain behind it.

The guy standing infront of it raises a brow at the two of you before pointing at said sign “read ladies, no fans allowed”

“hey, they’re with me” a guy, you assume to be chris, taps on his shoulder and shows his artists badge, half of his body still covered by the curtain.

The bigger guy sighs and lets you through.

“thank you” lia lets go of your hand to loop her arms around chris’s neck once behind the curtain, they kiss and you look around.

Not because you are particularly uncomfortable, maybe still just a little bitter at happy couples.

You audibly clear your throat when they are still making out after a good ten seconds.

“oh-uhm” lia looks back at you after breaking the kiss “chris, this is y/n, y/n, chris” she giggles.

“hi y/n, nice to meet you” he gives you a quick hug and a smile full of dimples, finally understanding why your roommate is always swooning about him.

“hi” you smile back, somewhat forced.

“lets go to our dressingroom” chris suggests and leads the way.

Opening the door, he lets you and lia walk in first.

One guy is dancing around in the middle of the room, singing along to the current song that’s being played in the background with a water bottle as a pretend mic.

Another is one sitting on the small couch and laughing at him.

“oh, hi” the guy stops singing and quickly hides the bottle behind himself at which chris chuckles.

“guys, this is lia and y/n” chris points at the two of you before closing the door behind him.

“ooo the lia?” the waterbottle guy wiggles his eyebrows, at which you cant help but laugh as well, he isn’t very tall but looks lean.

“what is the lia supposed to mean?” lia laughs when chris comes up and slings an arm around her waist from behind her.

“I..well-I talk about you sometimes-“

“sometimes my ass” the guy sitting on the couch scoffs amusedly, your eyes shift to him.

He’s wearing a white baseball cap and a pretty tight fitted black Versace shirt, making his shoulders and arms look broad.

His hands clad in black half-gloves, he adjusts his cap before locking eyes with you and quickly looking down again.

“channie hyung must’ve forgotten his manners, I’m jisung” the waterbottle guy speaks up “and that’s changbin hyung” he points at the most intimidating-looking of the three of them, on the couch.

“channie?” lia squeals as she sits down with chris on the couch changbin is sitting on as well, jisung coming up to you.

“hey, you want something to drink?” he asks, pointing at the mini bar feigning cockiness  “we have a mini bar”

“woow” you chuckle, playing along “sure I’d love a drink”

“how come we’ve never met on campus before?” jisung asks after mixing you a vodka soda and sitting down on the second couch in the room.

“oh, you all go to uni here as well?” you ask surprisedly as you sit down next to him..

“yea” he grins “that’s how we all met” he points at lia and chris almost sitting on top of each other “and those two”

“oh I didn’t even know that” you take a sip, trying to loosen up “I guess I wasn’t listening when she was ranting on about him”

Jisung laughs and changbin joins the two of you as he sits down next to jisung.

“they just started calling each other bubs I feel like throwing up” changbin groans as he drinks from his beer.

You huff before jisung speaks again, looking from his friend back to you “he’s usually more romantic” he quips.

“I bet” you joke with him.

“yup” changbin locks eyes with you “that’s why I’m single, I’m just too romantic” he shakes his head sarcastically.

“ooh” you squint your eyes “emotional unavailability? love that in a man” you grin, at which his eyebrow quirks up amusedly.

“speaking of man, did minho hyung text you when he’d be here?” jisung asks his friend.

“yea he said he’ll be here in 5 and that you should finally buy a new phone” changbin answers, reading it from his phone at which jisung scoffs before turning to you.

“minho is my boyfriend” he explains “he’s hot” he grins at which you laugh “I bet”

“so, y/n, do you have a boyfriend?” jisung asks after taking a sip of his drink

“not anymore” you scoff, jisung inhales excitedly “guess what, changbin is single as well” he grins from ear to ear, comically looking back and forth between you two.

“oh, please dont start like lia” you chuckle, leaning forwards to lock eyes with changbin “no offense, but I only attract assholes”

He shakes his head, amusedly raising his brows “none taken” he grins at which you huff before a young woman comes into their dressing room to tell them they’re up next.

-

Back in the crowd, you and lia find a good place just as the lights dim and the music begins to play.

Suddenly you feel someone run into your side “woah I’m sorry” he quickly apologizes “this guy pushed me” he looks behind him.

“its alright” you nod, loud enough for him to hear.

Once they come outside, the crowd goes wild.

“jisungieee” the guy next to you all over sudden screams, you have to smile when looking at him.

“are you minho by any chance?” you ask him.

He nods aggressively “yea! do you know jisung?”

“I just met him backstage” you yell over the loud bass.

Minho laughs and nods before the bass drops and chris starts the first verse.

“he’s great right?” lia screams into your ear when the first chorus ends.

“yea” you nod, actually surprised at how good their music is, now understanding as to why the crowd loves them so much.

Changbin starts his verse and suddenly you feel somewhat entranced, his voice is rough and his bars are hard, definitely fitting his appearance but what entices you is the passion with which he appears to be performing.

Throughout their whole performance you cant take your eyes off him, the way his arms flex when he grips onto the microphone a little harder or the way his jugular sticks out when he growls into the microphone.

Not to mention the thighs you somehow didn’t notice in their dressing room, you watch them strain against his leather pants and feel even hotter suddenly.

Their last song ends and lia is quick to be in your ear about going backstage to chris again.

“oh you know chan hyung?” minho overhears and chimes in.

“yea she’s his date” you point at your overly excited roommate.

“changbin just texted and said they’re upstairs in the vip lounge, come with me” the brunette holds out his hand for you to take, which you do and grab lia with the other one.

“do you know where you’re going?” you ask minho after a minute of pressing yourself along sweaty dancing bodies.

“yea! they’re here a lot” he yells back “its right over there” he points to a flight of stairs where yet another bouncer is standing in front of.

“hey minho” the bouncer greats him with a fist bump “these girls are with you?” he points at lia and you.

“yea” he nods.

“trying something new, I see” he laughs atw hich you frown.

“oh, nono” minho chuckles uncomfortably “I’m still with jisung”

“ah-alright well, have fun” the bouncer moves after looking you all up and down, letting you walk up the stairs.

“wow, you’re famous” lia giggles at which minho huffs and shakes his head amusedly “yea, for being the only non-straight person they know”

“baby” you see jisung jump up from his seat in the spacious lounge as soon as you enter.

“hii” minho holds out his arms for him to run into, you cant stop yourself from smiling when you see jisung jump into his boyfriends arms.

“lia, y/n come over here” chris waves at the two of you.

“you were so good, baby” you hear minho praise jisung behind you as you walk over to the large round sitting booth where chan and changbin are sitting.

Lia slides into the booth and cuddles into chans side “you were awesome” she squeals as you sit down on the other end and grab a fresh glass from the middle of the round table, holding it next to changbins where he’s pouring cherry vodka into.

“can i get some?” you ask, he glances at you and smirks before silently filling your glass with a  double shots worth of the slightly rosy liquid.

“so, how did you like it?” he asks as he leans back, taking a swing of his drink.

“you guys were really good” you nod “to be honest I didn’t expect such high quality music”

He laughs, leaning his head back a little, his adams apple bopping with it.

You cant help but notice the sheer sheen of sweat that expands over his thick neck, obviously coming from their escapades on stage just now.

“what did you expect? a bunch of drunks playing wonderwall on the guitar for more drunks?” he grins, straight white teeth on display.

“hey, don’t come for wonderwall” you raise your hand jokingly at which he laughs.

“I wouldn’t dare” he raises his hands comically.

“hey” you whip your head around to see jisung and minho “scoot, please” jisung speaks again.

“oh-yea” you grab your drink and scoot further into the half circle-shaped booth.

“so what do you study?” changbin asks, his voice catches you off guard because you hadn’t calculated how close you’re sitting to him.

You turn to him to realise you’re close enough to smell his perfume and aftershave.

“uh- I- art” you answer shakily before taking a sip of your drink just to pull a face afterwards.

“jesus christ” you cough a little and hold your chest as changbin laughs.

“its stronger than you’d think” he grins “can you handle it?” he teases when your eyes get a little watery.

You stare at him for a second before playfully rolling your eyes “im good” 

His eyes trace over your face as you look around before he breaks the silence ”i can get you something else if you want” he offers.

“oh-uh no, I’m just being dramatic its fine” you chuckle.

“so...what do you study?” you change the topic.

“I’m majoring in music” he says, stretching out his arms over the backrest “all three of us are”

“oh, so you like, produce all your own stuff?” you ask, your eyes jumping to where his forearm touches your shoulder, that’s leaning against the backrest.

“yea, channie hyung composes the most, me and ji write a lot” he explains,

“thats really cool” you nod, looking over to the mentioned guy.

Changbin follows your eyes and huffs when the both of you see him and your roommate sucking face again.

After a few seconds they stop and giggle before standing up to go somewhere.

“where are they going?” you huff.

“I guess they want some alone time” he chuckles, lifting the arm close to you to take off the cap he’s still wearing.

You flinch when his forearm brushes your shoulder.

“are you scared of me?” he asks slowly, stopping his movements, cap still in hand.

“no- no” you shake your head, chuckling “I- its just been a while since I’ve gone out and I don’t know” you shrug “I feel a little lost”

“hm” changbin cocks his brow at your words, running one hand through his dark brown locks.

You divert your eyes from his bulging bicep back to his face quickly when he speaks again.

“any reason why?” he leans back again.

“oh, just a shitty ex and a shitty breakup” you shrug “I’m gonna spare you the details”

“aw, no please, tell me he had a small dick and everything, now im invested” he jokes.

You tsk at him and push his arm playfully, feigning annoyance.

“that still doesn’t answer my question as to why you jumped like that when my arm touched you” changbin raises his brows expectantly.

You open your mouth to speak but-

“we’ll go get some more to drink” minho interrupts you at which changbin nods.

“so?” he asks again, once minho and jisung leave.

“did that ex hit you? give me his address I’ll beat him up for you” changbin deadpans.

“no” you shake your head after taking another sip “he didn’t” you huff incredulously.

“its just- you look kinda scary” you blurt out finally.

His eyes widen before he falls into a boyish laughter, which you cant help but join.

“me?” he points at himself before laughing again, the image you had made up in your mind about him cracking.

“yea!” you raise your brows “when you look like this” you furrow your brows and lightly squint your eyes to mimic his resting bitch face.

“what the-” he splutters laughingly.

“stoop, don’t laugh” you hold onto his forearm, still giggling yourself.

He calms himself, subconsciously scooting closer to you in the now empty booth.

“maybe scary wasn’t the right word” you snicker, looking down.

“I think the word you were looking for was: sexy, hot or mysterious, maybe handsome-” he quips, grinning to himself when you start laughing again.

“no, no, I know what I meant” you joke back, just now noticing how close he is, his knee touching yours as his whole torso is turned to you.

“so none of my suggestions are accurate?” he cheekily raises one brow at which you scoff playfully.

“maybe one or two” you see his eyes jump to your lips.

The air suddenly feels thick around you with tension, changbins tongue darting out to wet his plump bottom lip while his eyes are still locked on yours.

You breathe in before the two of you lock eyes again "so…are you gonna kiss me, or just stare?"

He raises his brows at your sudden boost of confidence, grinning amusedly.

"what happened to me being scary?" he counters before urging you to swing one leg over his thighs with gentle hands.

You take a seat on his lap, straddling his thick thighs before looping your arms around his neck "i dont know, i think i'm into it" you quip.

His hands wander up your waist "well then i wont make you wait any longer" he grins, looking at your lips one last time before closing the gap inbetween you two.

You meet him in the middle, changbins grip on your waist tightens when his plush lips land on yours.

He pulls you closer to him, pushing his tongue past the seam of your lips.

You can taste the cherry vodka on his tongue but it riles you up even more, sucking at the wet muscle before his hands wander over the swell of your ass and each grab a handful of the flesh; your short skirt riding up when you subconsciously grind against his lap.

“be careful” he mumbles against your lips, gently tugging down the piece of fabric so you don’t expose yourself to bywalkers.

“where’s the fun in that?” you cock your head to the side teasingly.

Changbin scoffs and leans in again but you get interrupted by jisung.

“hey, we-oh” you whip your head around.

Jisungs frown turns into a grin “uh” he chuckles “we dont mean to interrupt but chan hyung texted minho and they’re going to your place” he points at you.

“ugh, seriously?” you mutter.

“I’m sleeping at minhos so, hyung you’ll have our place to yourself” he winks at changbin.

“so, we’re out too, have fun you guys” minho waves teasingly as jisung drags him away.

For a second you stare after them, until a gentle squeeze at your waist makes you turn around again.

“you could come over to my place if you don’t want to go to yours right now” he offers, eyes flickering to your lips when you bite at your lower one.

-

This is usually like not you, letting some guy you barely know take you home.

But here you are the next morning, looking up at the ceiling, changbins room flooded with daylight.

You sit up and look at the still unconscious changbin next to you. His blanket had fallen down and exposes his toned torso, barely covering his private parts.

A tingle forms in your lower abdomen when you think of what happened here a few hours ago.

But you pull yourself together and start looking around for your clothes.

You spot your bra on his desk and your skirt and shoes on the floor, gently shimmying out from underneath the blanket; you grab your skirt and slide it on without your panties, not being able to find them anywhere.

Right as you clasp your bra behind your back, changbins morning voice makes you flinch “you would’ve just snuck out?” he grumbles, rubbing his eyes as you look back at him.

“what? did you take me for a breakfast lover?” you quip as you slide into your shoes, looking around for your shirt.

“damn, that’s cold” he chuckles lowly, sitting up and watching you stride around his room.

“where did you put my shirt?” you ask, bending down to look under his desk.

“maybe you should worry about your panties first” he snickers, eyes glued to your core when you look back at him.

You kiss your teeth and straighten up quickly, having forgotten about your lack of underwear.

“not that that wasn’t a great view just now-“

“you’re not helping” you interrupt him, eyes lighting up when you spot your shirt in the hallway.

“why so serious all over sudden?” he grins “last night you were everything but tense”

You scoff as you pull your shirt over your head and stuff it into your skirt before grabbing your purse and phone.

“I have an exam in 2 days and I haven’t studied yet” you exhale.

“I could drive you home-“ he runs a hand through his messy hair.

“I’ll call a cab, uhm- thanks for last night” you hurriedly smile before walking out.

“bye” changbin calls after you, frowning and dropping back down onto his bed when he hears the door shut behind you “have a nice day I guess” he mumbles to himself.

 October

You cling your jacket closer to your body as you walk through the howling wind the seasonal change had brought with it.

When you arrive at lias faculty building you take out your phone to see if she texted you about when her lecture would be over.

lia : hey babe, chris took me to his place -received at 4:17 pm

You roll your eyes, typical you think.

you : are you serious? you begged me to walk home with you -sent at 4:25 pm

You see her the little blue bubble pop up, indicating that she’s writing a message.

lia : im sorry!! please don’t be mad, he surprised me :((( -received at 4:25 pm

You scoff and turn off your phone before slipping it in your coats pocket alongside your hands. Typical, you think, ever since that night at the club the two of them have become inseparable and lia cancelling on you had become a regular thing. You are happy for her but you also miss your friend.

“y/n?” a familiar voice calls after you right as you start to walk away, you freeze and turn around.

“yea?- oh” you swallow harshly when you see changbin walk your way.

“hey” he smiles brightly and you have to bite back a grin at the cute beanie he’s sporting alongside his slightly red nose due to the cold weather.

“hi” you smile timidly.

“you never texted” he tilts his head at which you nod.

“yea, sorry I actually never got your number” you look at the ground “uh- what are you doing here?”

“oh um im on my way to the studio” he points at a nearby building “that’s the music faculty”

“ah okay, well” you lock eyes “have fun then” you turn around again, ready to walk away.

“hey” he catches up with you “you wanna join me? check out some of our new stuff?” he burries his hands in the front pockets of his jeans.

“I don’t know, changbin I really don’t want to date right now-“ you start at which he chuckles.

“I didn’t ask you to marry me” he stops in his tracks, grinning when you do as well, locking eyes “come on, I just need an unbiased opinion on some new tracks” he tilts his head.

You inhale before looking around you “I could drive you home after? So you don’t have to walk through this weather?” he offers, raising his brows at which you purse your lips.

“alright” you give in, changbin smiles and extends his elbow for you to hold.

You simper and coyly hook your hand around his arm as the two of you start walking.

-

“this is awesome!” you point to his laptop a minute after he played the first song for you.

Changbin grins bashfully and leans back into his desk chair “you think?”

“yea, the hook is super catchy” you bob your head as his eyes fix on your profile “you’re really talented, changbin” you catch him blushing before putting on another song.

After a few other songs, he takes off his headphones when you take off yours.

“can I ask you something?” he asks, you glance at him.

“you just did” you quip at which he huffs, “sure” you nod.

“how much of that night do you remember?” he fiddles with one of the rings on his left hand.

“why?” you ask back.

“well, you seemed really upset the next morning so I got kind of scared that you didn’t actually want it and I kind of took advantage of you” he recalls the night the two of you spent together.

“oh, no. you didn’t take advantage of me, I wasn’t even  drunk and I would’ve told you if I had changed my mind or something. That was just the first time I ever spent the night at a guys house for a one night stand” you absently pick off some fuzzies from your jeans.

“plus I had just come out of a relationship so I was a little too emotional anyways” you chuckle.

“alright” changbin nods “just wanted to make sure” he smiles down at his hands “cause I remember all of it”

You whip your head, scoffing when you see him with a shit eating grin on his face.

“hm” you feign ignorance as you lean back “I don’t know, there wasn’t a lot to remember” you grin mischievously.

He laughs out loud, leaning forwards “no?”

You shake your head, pursing your lips comically “nah”

“cause I remember you shaking and screaming” he grins.

You shrug your shoulders “weird, must’ve faked it” you deadpan, fiddling with the headphones you’re still holding.

Changbins tongue prods on the inside of his cheek, huffing when he catches you grinning.

“right” he grins slumping into his seat a little further.

A thought flashes in your head when your gaze drops to his crotch and thick thighs, you swallow some spit in frustration as you feel your core getting hotter.

He was right, the night was amazing, maybe that was even part of the reason you stormed out the way you did.

You clench your thighs for some relief, anything really.

“want me to refresh your memory?” your eyes jump up to meet his, you open your mouth but nothing comes out; do you want him to?

Yes. Yes you do.

So, you get up and straddle him on his chair: his hands instantly gripping at your hips, pulling you closer.

“someones eager” he grins, pushing some of your hair behind your ear.

“shut up” you whisper before crashing your lips onto his.

Changbin groans when you tug at his hair, inviting you to slip your tongue in between his lips and grind your hips over his crotch.

He hisses before propping himself up on one armrest and holding your lower back with the other as he stands up; you squeal but he holds you before sitting you back down on the desk, next to his laptop.

“now who’s eager” you grin when his hands find the waistband of your leggings and tug them down with your panties in one.

He huffs as he bunches your leggings and panties around your ankles before slipping underneath the fabric barrier and inbetween your legs.

“by the looks of it..” he runs a finger through your wet folds “still you” he quips before pushing one finger in without warning.

You moan, you head dropping back onto the hard wooden surface.

“look at me” changbin orders as a second finger prods at your entrance, you whimper but prop yourself up on your elbows.

He curls the two fingers and pumps them almost violently, the palm of his hand smacking your clit with every pump.

“oh god-“ you yelp, your eyes scrunching together as your hips buck up.

“its changbin but god is fine too” he quips as he lowers his head, you curse at him, even though you have to laugh a little.

“you’re so annoy-ah!” you cry out because suddenly his tongue is lapping over your swollen clit, sucking on it forcefully when you claw one hand into his already messed up dark locks.

“fuck-bin- gonna cum” your hips stutter and you feel the pleasure that’s blooming in your tummy is getting ready to snap.

“mmh” he humms against you “cum then, baby” he moans, knowing full well what the added vibrations are doing to your body when your chest arches and your mouth drops open.

Your cries fill the studio as you clamp down on his fingers; he rides your through your high, holding down your hips with his unoccupied hand because you squirm with the euphoria that’s filling your veins.

“good girl” he mumbles, removing his fingers from you before bringing them up to your lips “now, suck them clean for me, yea?” he grins, lips and chin shiny with your cum.

-

“finally” you huff when arriving at 3rachas lounge in a club out of town; where they had just performed “this club is huge” you breathe, jisung scooting and changbin letting you squeeze past him to take a seat in between them as they chuckle.

Lia and chan already lost in their own world again as she drags him to the dancefloor, squealing when chan teasingly squeezes her sides as they disappear into the crowd.

“they are made for each other” minho sighs, sitting down and giving jisung the second beer from his hands.

“I know right” you lean back, breathing in.

“you’re still out of breath?” changbin laughs at you at which you hit his arm.

“stop it, oh my god” you feign annoyance “you know how exhausting it is to dodge beer bottles and not loose lia? she’s like a Chihuahua, I swear, you loose her once and its over” you chuckle, jisung and minho laughing too.

“you just don’t have any endurance, woman” changbin grins teasingly.

“that’s so not true” you laugh incredulously “what about two nights ago-“

“AH-“ jisung interrupts you, placing his hands over his ears “please spare us your sex stories, I hear enough of that when you’re over, babe”

You huff and changbins cheeks turn red.

“you guys are fucking?” minho asks, eyebrows raised as he takes a swing of his beer.

“good job keeping up, baby” jisung pats his boyfriends thigh teasingly at which he tsks at him.

“are you together or what?” minho props his elbow on the table to support his chin with his hand as he looks at the two of you expectantly.

“no, we’re not” you chuckle somewhat uncomfortably before looking over at changbin who just grins awkwardly.

“just here to be a good friend and keep the groupies away” you joke “right?” you nudge changbin with your elbow at which he nods swiftly, looking down again.

“yea, baby don’t be so old fashioned” jisung teases his boyfriend who just rolls his eyes playfully.

“speaking of groupies” minho mutters, spotting a group of girls just before they approach the lounge.

“hey jisungie, you wanna dance?” a pretty blonde girl bats her eyelashes as she leans down a bit to expose more of her cleavage, making jisung grin.

“baby, you’re gorgeous but I’m very gay” he nods apologetically, “Oh” she straightens up “really? You sure?”

You and changbin have to bite back a laugh when jisung nods again “very sure, thanks though, for coming”

She shrugs and looks at changbin “what about you? Wanna dance?”

“uh-“ changbin starts but you cut him off “he’s with me actually” you tilt your head.

“for real?” she stems her hands into her hips as she looks back at her posse, scoffing.

“yea” changbin loops his strong arm around your waist and pulls you closer to him “that’s my girl, so a little respect, please”

“aww” you coo dramatically as you play along, putting your hand on his jaw to turn his head towards you before you lock lips.

“whatever” you faintly hear the girls voice get quieter when changbin slips his tongue in between your lips.

“they’re gone” you hear minho but changbin pulls your legs to dangle over one of his thighs as he grips your waist.

“guys” jisungs voice only registers in the back of your head when changbin sucks at your bottom lip and you run your fingers through the hair on the back of his head.

“can I get you some more beers?” the waitresses voice pulls the both of you out of your trance as you break the kiss abruptly.

Jisung laughs, shaking his head at the both of you before turning to the waitress “we’ll take a round of shots I think”

  November

 “fuck-harder” you gasp “..mhh binnie-shit” you moan while changbin pounds into you from behind, gripping your hip tighter with one of his hands; the other one migrating up your back to gather the legth of your hair, twisting them before he pulls at their root.

You groan when you feel your hair getting pulled back, neck stretching as he picks up his pace.

“like this? fuck you love this don’t you?” he breaths ragged, but you can hear the dirty smirk that lingers on his lips every time you have rough sex..

You moan out loudly when he releases your hair and pushes your torso down onto the mattress, your hand pulling at the sheets , needing something to grip and release the pleasure.

“fuck- answer me, slut” he grunts and delivers a harsh slap to your ass.

You cry out “yes-yes-fuck-love it” you desperately gasp as he leans down to you, earning a low chuckle which sends shivers down your back.

His lips latch onto your shoulder blade and start sucking on the skin until a purple mark blooms under his lips.

“fuck” you let out a strangled yell when the hand on your hip makes its way to your front and he started circling your clit with his fingers, the pace and firmness matching his thrusts.

You cry out for him as you clench furiously around his cock “that’s a good girl” he whispers, only letting go of your clit when you flinch in overstimulation.

“cum for me- fuck baby, cum for me and let the others know who’s fucking you this good” he rasps in your ear. Not 5 seconds later, your orgasm ripples through you and you would’ve collapsed completely if he wasn’t holding you up.

You’re still panting when both of his hands go back on your hips and push them down, laying you flat on the mattress before he picks up his pace again with his last left strength to reach his own high.

“shit- y/n“ he grunts when you tighten around him again and you feel him filling the condom with some drawn out groans and a sharp hiss.

After a few seconds of nothing but heavy breathing filling the room, he pulls out and falls next to you on his bed.

You wince at the soreness that’s already presenting itself when you turn around on your back, looking over to him; you watch as he ties a knot in the condom and throws it into the trash next to his desk.

“kobe!” he exclaims gleefully at his perfect throw before looking back at you to see if you saw.

“jesus christ why am I sleeping with you” you hold your hands over your face, hating the fact that it made you laugh.

He gasps, feigning to be offended “that’s not how you speak to the guy that just made you cum three times”

“you are so full of yourself, seo changbin” you shake your head amusedly as you sit up.

“wait, I’ll clean you up” changbin is quick to rise from his comfortable position to grab some tissues from his nightstand.

“come here” he mumbles, gently urging you to lie back down before carefully wiping your own cum off your inner thighs and mound.

You watch him as he gently moves to wipe the tissue over your puffy folds, your hips jumping a little when he accidentally passes your clit.

“sorry” he grins, pressing a kiss to your angled knee; at which you feel your heart lurch forward a bit.

Woah, wait.

You’ve been seeing changbin just for sex for almost two months now, you’ve even gone with him other performances and after parties to keep groupies away and be his arm candy and never has your heart done this.

Mayday. Abort mission.

“should be good for now” changbin shrugs, shooting you a sweet smile before turning away from you to also get rid of the tissues.

You use the opportunity to shuffle to the side of his bed and slip on your panties before grabbing your bra.

“hey, you wanna leave already?” changbin asks “I thought we could hang” he tucks his hand under his head as you look back at him, clipping your bra closed “watch a movie or something”

“sorry, I promised lia I’d help her clean the apartment today” you lie, surprisingly quick, before pulling your hoodie over your head.

“so you’re just gonna fuck me and leave again?” he jokes dramatically “I don’t even get cuddles?”

“shut up” you chuckle.

“am I nothing more to you than a pretty piece of meat?” he continues as you slip into your jeans, rolling your eyes playfully.

“a toy you use when you need stress relief??” he holds his chest dramatically.

You step into your shoes and raise your brows at him.

“are you complaining?” you ask playfully.

“nahh” he pulls his covers over his abs as he watches you grab your jacket from his desk chair.

"At least give me a 'gopdbye, thanks for the bomb dick, kiss" He grins when you scoff at him. So, you lean over him and press a quick peck to his lips; he whines playfully when you lean back up again, sitting up and catching your lips with his roughly once more.

“alright, see ya” you shrug."

And shit, your heart does it again. What are you doing?

You break the kiss and ruffle through his hair.

“ugh” he huffs annoyedly, fixing his hair “I hope you have trouble walking” he quips as you go for the door.

“I’ll text you if I don’t” you wink at him before closing his door, leaning against it from the outside and closing your eyes.

“fuck” you whisper to yourself before making your way through the guys apartment.

“don’t break his heart, y/n” minhos voie comes from behind as you twist the doorknob.

“huh?” you trun around to look at him, he’s wearing a shirt that you know to be jisungs so he must be staying over.

“I’ve known changbin for a while, he seems tough but he’s a softie deep down” he crosses his arms over his chest “he hurts easier than you think”

“we- we’re both not in this for anything serious” you stammer “what do you mean?”

“I see the way he looks at you, y/n” minho smiles softly “I’m not telling you how to live your life, just, be honest with him… and yourself for that matter” he quirks one brow up, smiling before disappearing around the corner.

 -

 You squint your eyes as you’re trying to make out the label of the cereal boxes in the upper shelves, looking back at your phone you check to see what brand lia had texted you about so you don’t accidentally buy the wrong thing.

“fuck” you mumble when you see her desired cereal at the top of the shelf, so you reach up but to no avail.

“y/n?” you lower your heels to the floor again before turning around to see…

“hyunjin?” you face drops in awe.

“hey!” the tall young man smiles widely, opening his arms and inviting you to a hug.

“wow, hi” you hug him back.

Damn, what happened to him? The last time you saw him was before he moved away in 10th grade.

You used to be good friends with him, or, well, the freakishly skinny and lanky highschool version of him you met in dance class.

By the feel of it, even through the trenchcoat he’s wearing, you can tell he’s bulked up quite a bit.

After letting go of him, you cant help but stare.

His acne had cleared up and his brown hair is chin length with the top parts pulled back into a little pony tail, leaving some face framing strands in the front.

“wow- you look-“ you blink a few times to make sure you’re not dreaming “…really good, hyunjin”

He smiles on the ground, his pretty plump lips parting to reveal beautiful pearly whites which used to be covered by braces.

“so do you” he grins.

“no- I mean you look… good-good” you splutter, laughing awkwardly “like what are you a model now or something?”

“actually, yea- part time” he chuckles.

“oh” you huff  “wow of course” you shake your head laughingly, blushing furiously when he doesn’t break eye contact.

“so- uhm” you gulp, making him grin even wider “what are you doing here?”

“I’m transferring here” he nods “better dance programme” he explains shortly.

“oh you still dance” you observe out loud “I haven’t danced in a while” you look down.

“you should come by after practice sometime” he offers “to catch up- or dance if you want” he giggles, a little dimple appearing on his left cheek.

“yea, I’d love that” you smile, nodding before he takes out his phone.

“put in your number, I’ll text you” he smiles softly when holding it out to you.

“mhm” you agree, saving your number in his phone and trying not to think about him staring at you the whole time.

“alright well” he checks his phone for the time, you guess “I gotta get going, only came here for this” he chuckles, holding up a carton of milk that you, weirdly enough, haven’t noticed until now.

“alright” you nod before he moves in for a hug again.

“bye” he smiles when loosening his arms again.

“bye” you mumble, staring at the back of his perfect head as he walks away.

You were about to pull out your phone and rant to lia about what just happened, when he stops in his tracks and turns around.

“almost forgot” he grins, reaching up and getting your cereal from the top shelf; winking when he places it in your hands, your body freezing.

“bye” he grins, walking away before you could thank him.

-

 You had taken hyunjin up on his offer and met him in the dance studio after class where he showed you some of his contemporary pieces before you made your way to the popular coffee shop on campus together.

“-no seriously the second piece was my favourite I think, but they were all amazing!” you smile up at him at which he shakes his head cutely.

“can you stop complimenting me, y/n I’m getting all nervous” he laughs softly.

“oh please” you quip “with your talent and looks I would think nothing could make you nervous” you roll your eyes playfully.

Hyunjin huffs, opening the coffee shops door for you “you can” he says softly as you walk past him, you turn around to him to see him blush a litte but diverting his eyes to the big menu above the counter.

Did he just flirt with you? No, you must be tripping.

You look around to see only two other people sitting in one of the booths together, the cold must keep most people home, you think before hyunjin gently pulls at your sleeve to get your attention.

“what do you want?” he asks, the barista looking at you expectantly.

“uhm- a hot chocolate please” you say, reaching in your purse to get your wallet.

“I’ll take the same” hyunjin smiles politely, giving the barista money.

“on me” he smiles down at you.

“oh, thank you” you smile sheepishly, letting go of your purse again.

Once your hot chocolates are ready, you sit down in one of the booths, hyunjin sliding in to sit across from you.

“I was back home last week before I came here, you’ll never guess who I met” hyunjin grins.

“who?” you ask curiously.

“tim” he grins.

“tim?” your eyes almost pop out of your head “as in my first boyfriend tim?” you laugh, holding your hand to your face incredulously.

“but he moved away as well?” you half ask.

“yea he said he was visiting his grandparents, but guess the best part” hyunjin bites his lip

“what?” you chuckle.

“he got a nose job” hyunjin bites back a laugh when you gasp surprisedly “really?”

“one word” hyunjin says “botched…”

“aw no, poor tim” you frown, looking down at your hot drink as memories from back in the day come back to you.

“he always used to put his hand up my shirt when hugging” you frown, making hyunjin laugh.

“it was 9th grade y/n what did you expect?” you scoff at his rethorical question.

“I don’t know, some basic manners maybe?” you counter playfully…slowly letting the conversation die down as you both take sips from your cocoa.

“how come we never dated?” he asks softly after aminute of silence, looking up at you.

“we were friends?” you chuckle awkwardly.

“come on” hyunjin sits back in his booth “you must’ve known I had the biggest crush on you”

“you did?” you almost launch forwards in your seat, making hyunjin laugh.

“well, I guess you didn’t know then” he giggles, hiding his face in his hands embarrassedly.

“anyways, I would’ve paid good money to be able to slip my hand up your shirt” he jokes, cheeks reddening when you laugh.

“I honestly liked you a lot back then” you say “if you would’ve said something we might’ve actually gone out” you shrug gently.

“damn, way to rub that in my face” hyunjin grins.

You hold his eye contact for a few seconds before you feel your blood rushing to your cheeks again, quickly lifting up your mug to take a sip and partly cover your face.

When you put your mug back down, hyunjin grins widely, mumbling a “cute” before slowly bringing his hand to your chin and gently swiping his thumb over your top lip where a foam mustache had formed.

You gulp when he swiftly sucks the foam off his thumb, your eyes darting from his eyes to his lips.

When he notices, he leans over, slowly as if scared to overwhelm you.

That’s when minhos words pop up in the back of your head.

“be honest with him, and yourself for that matter”

But you aren’t together, and hyunjin is great and you want to kiss him but you know it would be wrong.

However, before you know it his lips are on yours and you’re not doing anything to stop him.

They are soft and inviting and you let him swipe his tongue over the seam of your lips, but then the little doorbell rings and you hear lias voice, followed by a male one before they abruptly stop, making you pull away abruptly.

Oh.

There they are, lia, chan, jisung and changbin; looking at you.

“y/n” lia grins widely, approaching your table “aren’t you gonna introduce us?” she squeals, hyunjin clears his throat and sits back down.

The three guys hesitantly follow lia when-

“woah- hyunjin?” chan speaks up.

“chan-hyung?” hyunjin gets up from his place to receive a hug from the older one as your eyes divert to changbin who is looking at the ground.

You aren’t together. Then why do you feel so guilty and why does he look so disappointed.

“he’s cute, girl” jisung grinningly interrupts your daydreaming, nodding towards chan and hyunjin who are still talking.

You force out a smile.

“how do you two know each other?” lia asks curiously.

“he went to my highschool, the last few years” chan grins.

“what a coincidence” you mumble, almost ironically.

“I went to highschool with y/n too, the first couple years though, then I moved away” hyunjin explains “oh, im sorry, I’m hyunjin by the way” he turns to jisung and changbin.

“I’m jisung, this is changbin” jisung smiles, pointing at his grumpy friend.

“I’m lia” lia grins “his girlfriend and her best friend” she points at chan before snuggling up to you, giggling.

Jesus, woman where do you get the energy? Is what you want to ask but you just flash another forced smile, hoping this moment will pass quickly.

“where were you guys?” you change the topic, hoping changbin would maybe look at you if you spoke up.

“oh, I caught them all huddled up in the studio” lia grins “they probably haven’t been outside in a week again” she giggles.

“true” jisung quips.

“hey lets all sit down” hyunjin suggests.

“I’ll get a coffee” changbin mumbles, walking back to the counter.

You usher lia to make way for you to get out of the booth, following him.

“bin” you stand next to him as he looks up at the menu but he ignores you.

“you could at least acknowledge my presence, your highness” you quip annoyedly.

“what do you want me to say, y/n?” he mutters.

“I didn’t know this would happen with him or I would’ve told you” you say, looking back at the other four talking and laughing in the booth.

“we’re not together y/n, you’ve made that very clear; if you wanna kiss lord farquaad go ahead, I’m not stopping you” he looks over to the booth as well.

“jesus christ” you huff “why are you so defensive then?”

“hi” changbin greets the barista who just came from the back “I’ll have an iced coffee to go, please” he orders.

“the world doesn’t revolve around you y/n, maybe I’m having a bad day” he answers when the barista makes his way to the coffee machines, you feel a lump from in your throat.

“yea, well thanks for making mine bad as well” you turn on your heels to join the others, hyunjin sees you coming back and scooches to make some space for you next to him.

You smile and thank him quietly when he also gives you your mug.

“everything alright?” he asks quietly, as to not disturb the others conversation.

“yea, just had to ask him some stuff” you smile at which he smiles back, turning back to the others.

After a minute changbin approaches the booth with his iced coffee “hey, I’ll run back to the studio I gotta finish that track”

“ugh, changbin I just dragged you out of there, stay for a second” lia protests and jisung nods along.

“nah, gotta get it done tonight” he shakes his head.

“alight see you later” chan nods.

“nice to meet you, man” hyunjin says, nodding at him as well.

“yea” changbin answers tight-lipped before walking out.

 December

”I’m sorry, hyunjin” you frown “I’m just not ready for a relationship after what happened with my ex-“

“its alright y/n” his large hand encases yours “you don’t have to explain yourself to me”

You sigh in relief “I’m sorry I tried to rush things, it just, seemed to good to be true to find you here and everything” he says.

“but I’ll wait for you, if that’s what you want” he looks up at you.

“oh, jinnie you shouldn’t have to do that” you shake your head “I’m sure there are great girls out there who are emotionally ready to be with you”

“yea, but you’re the girl I want to be with” he says softly and your heart shatters into pieces because you’re not sure he’s the guy you want to be with.

-

You fight yourself through the crowd at 3rachas last performance of the year, at the same venue where you met them for the first time. Just like the time before, chan makes sure lia, hyunjin, minho and you are able to come backstage.

“I’m excited to see you perform, man” hyunjin grins at chan, patting his shoulder “your stuff was already dope back then…” they continue speaking as you enter their dressing room.

Jisung greets his boyfriend as you and lia sit down on the leather couch.

Changbin is standing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair before his eyes lock with yours through the mirror, but he just diverts them to chan who’s grabbing a beer for hyunjin and himself, you guess.

“did you have to invite him?” changbin semi-whispers to the older one, nodding at hyunjin, chan just frowns confusedly,making changbin shake his head and walk out.

You look at hyunjin who is talking to minho and jisung, and doesn’t seem to have heard changbin. So, you get up to follow him out but lia holds your wrist “y/n you cant keep running after him” she hisses.

“he cant keep treating me like im invisible, I just want to clear the air” you free your arm and walk out to see changbin almost at the end of the corridor, walking out of a heavy door which, you think leads outside.

After reaching the door you open it to find him outside, leaning against the brick wall of the building, looking down at his phone.

The cold air hits your skin and you shiver, only wearing a top and some jeans since its warm in the club.

Changbin notices you and looks up “what do you want, y/n?” he asks.

“that was real classy back there” you comment, holding your arms to your body to preserve some warmth. Changbin huffs, unfazed as he looks back at his phone “whatever, y/n”

“no, not whatever bin” you step closer to him “he asked me to date him” his head shoots up and you lock eyes, for a second they are soft in the way they look into yours but something changes and they turn mean when he speaks again.

“so? that’s a you proplem” he shrugs.

“its not a problem at all, he’s sweet and loving and cares about me but for some reason im standing here, hoping that you’ll give me a reason to not be with him” you feel your throat closing up with anger mixed with confusion when he starts chuckling.

“you’re not serious are you?” he squints and your heart drops, tears pooling at your lashline.

“of course not, I couldn’t expect someone as stubborn and- and comunicationally incompetent like you to understand anything about feelings” you turn on your heels when a teardrop rolls down your cheek.

A hand wraps itself around your wrist, making you turn back “I’ve wanted to be with you since that moment in the club where you kissed me infront of all these girls. It was always you who was stubborn y/n, you never wanted to spend anymore time with me other than fucking” he snaps at you, taking a breather to start another sentence but you cut him off.

“-then why didn’t you say anything?” you ask quietly and he looks down.

“because- fuck” he lets go of your wrist “I didn’t want to scare you away, you in my bed was better than no you at all. But then fucking prince charming appears out of no where and sweeps you off your feet-”

“but I don’t want prince charming I want you” you blurt out, tears now streaming down your face, making him take a step back as his eyes soften.

“then why didn’t you say anything?” a small smile tugs at his lips as he closes the distance between you, gently running his hands up your arms, feeling the goosebumps brought on by the cold.

You huff, looking down and watching one of your teardrops melting a tiny hole into the snow before looking back up “because I’m stubborn and comunicationally incompetent” you sniffle “and stupid apparently” 

A grin spreads over changbins face as his hands cradle your cheeks, wiping your tears away with his thumbs “so, you wanna be stubborn and stupid together?” he whispers, locking eyes with you.

You press your lips together, trying to keep yourself from sobbing even more as you nod.

He chuckles softly ”you can stop crying now, baby” at which you nod beathing in shakily but smiling when he pushes some hair out of your face.

“can you kiss me now please” you sniffle whiningly, huffing in a laugh when he pulls a face.

“i dont know babe, you’re a little snotty right now-” he jokes.

“shut up” you hit him, chuckling when he pulls you even closer by your waist and gently connects his lips with yours.

A soft wind blows through your hair and you loop your arms around his neck even tighter, deepening the kiss at which he moans, holding your waist tighter to his body.

The door creaks open and “are you guys finally together?” minhos voice makes you break the kiss.

“yea” you grin when jisung comes out after his boyfriend.

“nice” he grins, nodding at you.

“yea yea nice, beautiful love whatever, hyung we’re up, lets go” jisung rambles, laughing and running back inside when changbin pretends to hit him, minho shaking his head and following him.

“you’ll watch me yea?” your boyfriend grins at you, taking your hand and planting a kiss on the back of it.

“from the front row, baby”

Broken Melody - Part One

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight, Part Nine, Part Ten, Part Eleven,

Summary: Grammy Award winning Emma Danvers is the first to say she has a pretty good life. But what happens when it implodes around her and it looks like things will never be the same again?

Words: 10k+

Warnings: None... yet...

Pairings: Emma Danvers x Lena Luthor (Eventual)

Right! I wrote the beginning of this fic months ago. It’s going to get angsty so be ready. But the purpose of the first part is to introduce this version of B!D, a well known singer in a grammy award winning band. I honestly had a great time writing this first part!

Thank you for reading and let me know if you wanna be tagged or any general feedback will be greatly appreciated.

For @thewitchandtheassassin​, @natasha-danvers​, @life-is-hella-unfair​, @finleyfray​, @supergirl-writingz​,

The screeching of Emma Danver’s alarm makes her hazel green eyes shoot open. Normally on a Saturday she wouldn’t have her alarm set and would laze in bed. Especially when she is home from her latest world tour. However, today was going to be a day filled with the Superfriends, and she can’t wait!

Emma had mentioned at the latest game night that she wanted to check out a beach over an hour away from the city and how they could make a day of it. Kara, her Supergirl sister, instantly accepted the idea while bouncing up and down with excitement. Mostly everyone else agreed, happy to know the summer sun would be in full force that day.

Well they still had to persuade a few people, mainly Lena and Alex. But when Emma and Kara both knelt in front of the women with their identical Danvers pouts they were forcibly won over.

Emma smiles as she stretches and runs her hands through her wavy blonde hair. She quickly gets out of bed and opens her curtains. Sighing happily and just enjoying the sunshine blazing into her penthouse bedroom. Emma can totally see how Kara gets her Supergirl powers from the sun, how it recharges her and makes her the Woman of Steel.

After a few more minutes Emma turns and grabs her phone. While making her way to her ensuite she messages the group chat.

Emma: Gooooooodd Mmmoooorrrrnnnniiiinnnngggg!!! How’s everyone? Seriously can’t wait for today!

After having a quick shower Emma wanders back into her room and decides what to wear. She puts on her turquoise surf bikini with her tight black surfing shorts. She wears her blue jean shorts over the top, and a white tank top. She finishes her outfit off with her many bracelets, her apple watch and a layered necklace that has a star, sun and swan pendant. Symbolising each of the Danvers sisters. Alex is the star, Kara is the sun and Emma is the swan.

Swan became one of Emma’s nicknames in school due to there being a lot of Emma’s in the class. Her friends joked she was a swan princess due to doing ballet when she had asked them to come to a recital. Which they did and were in awe, but you know. Emma happily accepted the nickname, taking it as a compliment. Emma smiles as she looks at her ballet shoes strung over her mirror. ‘Another thing I need to get back into.’ Emma thinks wistfully. She still loves dancing, especially the latin styles like samba and tango. But she doesn’t have the time.

As she draws her attention to her reflection she definitely looks like a surfer chick, lean, toned and sun kissed. Which she was happily going for. She’s been dying to surf for ages but just hasn’t had the time. Her band had recently returned from a sell out world tour. And sadly most of the places they played at didn’t have beaches or the right surf. She felt sorry for her neglected surfboard in the back of the tour bus.

Her phone pings drawing her attention away from her musings. Emma laughs when she sees a few messages have already been sent.

Kara: Good morning sunshine! I’m sssoooooo excited too! Did you need me to bring anything else? I got all the food ready!

Kelly: Of course you’d have the food Kara!

Kelly: And good morning Emma! Shall I bring my swimsuit? Anyone going for a swim?

Kara: Ooo I am! And I think Emma is going to surf?

James: Why are you guys texting this early? I could have had at least another hour or more of sleep.

Alex: I agree with James… Emma, I hate you.

Emma chuckles at Alex’s message while she gets a bag ready with a change of clothes.

Emma: Love you too Alex!

Kara: Ahem… What about me?!

Emma: Love you too Kara!

Alex: You love me more though right?

Emma: No I love you both the same!

Kara: *Wink Wink*

Alex: Hey!

Nia: What am I just decoration?

Emma: No of course not Nia! I love you too!

James: What about me?

Kelly: And me!

Emma: Yes James and Kelly I love you both too.

Lena: Do you love me?

Emma pauses before she responds to Lena’s text. Honestly, she’s had a crush on her since the moment they met. But Lena is way out of Emma’s league. A CEO dating a musician and artist like Emma wouldn’t work. She’s not clever or brave like Kara or Alex.

Once when Lena had met her for lunch, Lena had explained what being a CEO entailed. Emma’s mind melted; it was so complex. Lena just laughed at her exasperated expression trying to figure it all out. “And that, my darling, is why you are an artist and I am a CEO.” Emma practically melted at Lena’s smile from across the table.

But that’s one of the things she loves about Lena, her passion for her work and drive for making the world a better place. And her smile. To Emma, Lena’s smile lights up the whole room.

Sighing Emma looks back down at her phone.

Emma: I love you the most… *Delete*

Emma: Yea I love you too. :)

‘Somewhat truthful…’ Emma thinks as she puts her phone in her pocket, grabbings her backpack, guitar case and placing it by the door. Kneeling on her sofa she pulls her surfboard up from behind, giving it a quick hug. Excitement surges through her veins at the thought of surfing the waves.

‘Rao I hope the waves are good today!’ Emma wishes as she swings the board around and accidentally knocks her recent Grammy on the floor. “Shoot!” Emma yelps and quickly drops her surfboard to pick up the award. Emma sighs in relief when she turns it over in her hands, seeing it wasn’t broken. Out of all her awards, this year's Grammy meant the most to her. The album had been a real breakthrough moment for her and the band, Axis, and they swept away the competition. Emma remembers the feeling of pride and honour when their name was called. How she and the rest of the band rushed to the stage in unison and linked arms as each said a thank you.

Emma carefully places the Grammy down and picks up her surfboard. Grabbing the rest of her stuff she locks the door behind her and takes the elevator down to her beloved yellow VW beetle. Which she affectionately calls the ‘bug’. Emma puts her stuff in the car and carefully straps the board onto the roof rack before getting into the driver's seat.

Taking her phone out she sends Lena and Kara a quick message to say she’s on her way to pick them up. Alex and Kelly are picking up Sam. Who did try and persuade Ruby to come but now as a teenager, Ruby has better things to do then hang out with her Mom and her Mom’s friends. James is giving J'onn, Nia and Brainy a ride.

Emma quickly plugs in her phone and chooses to blare out her playlist of her favourite songs. As she pulls out of the underground parking garage she starts singing and making dramatic hand movements as she dances along. Not caring if people see her.

Soon she’s outside Lena’s apartment building and as she turns the music down Lena Luthor herself was exiting the building. Emma’s mouth drops open with how beautiful Lena looks. And how different she looks too! Gone were the suits and smart wear of a CEO. Instead Lena was wearing a thigh length red patterned skirt that matched her red lips with a black crop top. To finish the look off she wore a black bowler hat.

When Lena opens the passenger door Emma quickly closes her mouth.

“Hi Em!” Lena smiles brightly at the blonde and leans over to place a kiss on Emma’s cheek. Making the blonde blush and causing her brain short circuits.

“Hi Lee!” Emma says more high pitched than normal.

Lena grins at her in amusement. ‘Rao I could get lost in those green eyes.’

“Er, Em… We gonna go?” Lena teases causing Emma to jump and pull away from the pavement. “So, how has your week been?”

“Fine. Got a commission to complete before Thursday but I’m almost done. I actually have to thank you, it's the lovely couple we met at the recent gala we went to.”

Whenever Emma is back in the city Lena always invites her to the gala’s. Surprisingly Emma finds she enjoys them, especially when it's one of Lena’s charity events. Lena and Emma are both thrilled to find Emma has a talent in being able to persuade the rich attendees to donate their money. Even from those who have never donated before. “It’s the Danvers charms!” Emma would laugh and wink at Lena when the raven haired women would be dumbfounded at the cheque in her hand from a rival.

“Mr and Mrs Green?” Lena asks, remembering how the couple were enthralled with Emma’s work as an artist and musician. Their donation had been one of the biggest of that night. ‘No surprise there.’ Lena smirks.

“Yea them.” Emma nods while concentrating on driving. She does love the city life but driving through it can be such a pain.

“What did they ask for?” Lena inquires while picking at a loose thread in her skirt.

“Mainly a seascape of a view they had back in the UK. Thatchers rock… I think.” To be honest Emma had been surprised by the Green’s enthusiasm when she showed them her portfolio. How they were willing to wait for Emma’s tour to finish before getting their commission. It had been made easier that there was a reference to work on. Even though she has never been to that part of the UK. Mainly the cities dotting around the island. And even though Emma doesn’t need the money she enjoys doing something different. Her art gives her another escape.

“What style are you doing it in?” Lena asks as she bobs her head along with Emma to the music. Something she’s never done before until getting rides with Emma. Something about the blonde’s carefree attitude rubbing off on her.

“I’m using oil this time. I think it works better with the layering and it can really make the sea look like it’s moving you know? Well… If I get it right.” Emma realises she started to ramble and quickly cuts herself off. Certain Lena wouldn’t want to hear the techniques Emma has been using. “If all goes to plan the painting should look different with the different lighting of the day.”

“I am sure you will darling.” Lena smiles widely at her.

Emma smiles back. Feeling butterflies zoom round her stomach at the term of endearment.

“Thanks Lee.” Emma taps her thumbs to the beat while they wait for a light to turn green.

“How-”

“How’d-”

They both stop when they realise they both started talking.

“You go.” Emma motions Lena to continue.

“How’s everything going with the band?”

“It’s going really, really well! We are already writing songs for the next album. But we’ve also really benefited having this time off too.” Emma grins thinking of the other band members. 

In some ways they’ve become another little family to her. The four other guys were already formed and were looking for a female influence. Emma saw the flyer and thought ‘why not!’ before calling them and doing an audition. The guys were blown away by her voice and talent. Unanimously they agreed she can become a member of the band and ultimately making her the lead singer. That was over eight years ago when Emma was eighteen and Axis were well known in certain areas of America but when Emma joined their popularity skyrocketed. 

However fame didn’t matter to Emma, but she loves performing and writing music. Especially when she gets fan messages about how her songs have helped someone get through a difficult time and gave them hope. She always makes sure to save those messages.

“Sounds exciting.” Lena agrees, nodding her head.

“Speaking of deals.” Emma pauses to concentrate on the traffic. “How’d the deal with the Japanese go?”

Even though Emma wasn’t looking at Lena she could feel the big eye roll the raven haired beauty did.

“That good huh?” Emma jokes but feels for the CEO.

“Honestly it was a nightmare. They kept going around in circles and I’m just getting over the migraine!” Lena dramatically rubs her forehead. Which Emma misses from looking at the road.

“Ah no.” Emma frowns as she quickly looks at Lena. “Are you sure you’re okay to come to the beach?”

“Yes I’m fine.” Lena smirks at Emma’s concern.

“Okay, I am glad you’re coming.” Emma smiles brightly back.

Lena raises an eyebrow. “Did I have a choice?” Lena teases.

“Yes! But it would have made me very sad if you hadn’t.” Emma pouts dramatically and pulls off her best puppy dog eyes.

“And that’s why I said yes.” Lena chuckles at how adorable Emma looks.

Soon they pull up to Kara’s building and she’s already waiting outside. Piles of bags by her feet. Both Lena and Emma laugh at the sight. “Joys of being Supergirl I guess!” Emma jokes about Kara’s metabolism.

As she parks Emma can’t help but remember the day Kara became a part of the Danvers family.

Emma had taken to the alien quicker then Alex, especially as there was only a year age difference between the two blondes. She also found she became the bridge between Alex and Kara. Over time the three learned how to live with the new dynamic and would soon enjoy each other's company. Kara and Alex would laugh when little Emma would cheerfully yell that they were the three musketeers as they played with wooden swords or practically any activity that involved the three of them. Even making hot chocolate together.

When Kara became Supergirl Emma almost had a fit. She’d been in New York for a sold out week of gigs when she had seen the news in the early hours of the morning. Frantically she called Kara to see if she was okay and getting even more frantic when she realised Alex had been on the plane too. The two sisters were eventually able to calm her down after a lot of sobbing and panic from her end. When Emma returned to National City she held onto her sisters a lot tighter that day. Eventually the three ended up falling asleep together on the sofa. Emma in the middle of the two as they wrapped their arms around each other.

Emma’s musings were interrupted when Kara slammed the car boot down hard. Causing the car to bounce.

“Careful Kara!” Emma yells, knowing full well her sister would hear her.

“Sorry little one! I’m just so excited!” Kara squeals as she opens the backseat door before leaping in.

“Hey I’m only a year younger than you!” Emma frowns into the rear view mirror to glare at her sister. Who just sticks her tongue back at her while clicking in her seat belt.

They continue the hour long drive to the beach, chatting and singing along to Emma’s playlist. Lena watches on in amazement as Kara sings the melody and Emma does some beautiful harmonies around her. They all laugh and cheer when Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ comes on.

“Come on Lena! Join in!” Emma yells while she puts the volume right up. So Lena does. When the rock part of the song comes on all three of them dance and headbang along. Lena laughs as she feels so carefree. She pauses when Emma starts singing passionately to the next verse.

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Honestly she could listen to Emma’s voice for hours. Which is probably why she secretly went to as many of Emma’s gigs as possible. But every time she would go to reveal herself to Emma she would back peddle and leave. Knowing that someone as talented as Emma was way out of her league. Her pride for her friend as she watched with the Superfriends at Kara’s apartment as Axis won Grammy after Grammy, award after award. How they screamed with joy and hugged each other after each announcement. Plus Lena thought someone as pure and happy as Emma wouldn’t do well with someone broken like Lena. So she keeps her feelings to herself and tries to be content with being Emma’s friend.

Lena’s heart warms as she remembers meeting Emma for the first time over 3 years ago. She had been at one of her first game nights with the Superfriends when a knock sounded on Kara’s door. Everyone had looked at each other in surprise as no one was missing. Lena watched Kara bounce towards the door and as she opened it a continuous scream of surprise and happiness escaped Kara’s mouth. This caused Alex to rush over in response and suddenly scream as well. The two sisters practically tackled the blonde beauty out into the hallway where they fell into a laughing heap. Kara kissed the blonde’s head over and over while Alex held onto her like a koala bear and kissed her cheek over and over.

Finally they untangled and Kara dragged the other blonde into her apartment. Excitedly introducing everyone to her little sister, Emma. The Superfriends each individually greeted the newcomer and when it came to Lena’s turn Emma had stepped forward and gave her an affectionate hug. Laughing that Kara has told Emma so much about her that she feels she already knows Lena well. When Emma stepped away from the hug they both ignored the warm feelings racing around their bodies. Lena had to agree as both the Danvers sister’s spoke of Emma fondly and how proud they were of Emma’s success. Lena hadn’t told anyone this but she bought all of Emma's music to listen to it after Kara gushed about her sister. She instantly fell in love with the voice coming through the speakers.

Kara soon asked why Emma was in National City and Emma excitedly revealed that Axis was moving to National City. Lena again ignored the feeling of excitement that shot through her. And again Emma was tackled to the floor as both Alex and Kara leapt towards her in celebration.

“Lena?” Kara’s voice breaks through her thinking and Lena turns to look back at her best friend. Listening intently as Kara excitedly explains a new prototype Brainy is designing to help Kara not be so affected by Kryptonite.

“Maybe I can help with it?” Lena offers kindly.

Kara’s smile brightens up even more. “That would be swell!”

Lena gives Kara a small smile before turning back to the front. To be honest it still stings that Kara didn’t tell her Supergirl secret to the CEO. It had been two years after Emma had moved back to National City when Lena and Kara were having lunch but Kara was being called away. Again. Lena couldn’t stop herself and blurted out she knew Kara’s secret. She will never forget how Kara’s face fell and the promise of talking about it after she’s finished. Lena’s face grew cold as her walls shot up. She told Kara not to bother and stormed out of the restaurant to her penthouse apartment. She refused to see anyone or answer her phone. Allowing her past hurts and hatred to simmer and boil.

That was until a knock sounded on her door. She chose to ignore it but the knocking persisted.

“Come on Lena, please open the door. Let’s talk about this.” Emma’s muffled voice sounded through the door.

“Why should I?” Lena spits out as she draws closer, crossing her arms tightly over her chest.

“Because you shouldn’t be alone right now.”

Lena scoffs. “And why not?”

“Because you’ll allow your demons to lie to you and it will eat you up.” Emma had experience with this herself.

Tears fill Lena’s eyes and against the screaming in her head she reaches out and opens the door.

“Hey you.” Emma gives Lena a small smile before stepping into the apartment. Placing the takeout bags on the floor and pulling Lena into a tight hug. Allowing Lena to break down as she sobs into Emma’s shoulder. All her past hurts rushing forward and spewing out.

After she was spent Emma gently led her to the sofa and reheated the food. Making sure Lena ate. They talked long into the night and when Lena started rubbing her eyes from exhaustion Emma helped her get ready for bed. As Lena slid between the sheets Emma leaned down to give her a goodnight hug. But stopped when Lena wouldn't let her go. “Stay.” Lena whispered. So Emma grabbed a pair of her spare clothes she left for times like this and got in next to her. Lena shifted over to her and rested her head on Emma’s shoulder. Emma wrapped her arms around Lena and held her close. They don’t say anything more but drift into a peaceful sleep.

“We’re here!” Emma sings out, causing Lena to jump slightly. They pull into a car park right next to the beach.

“Oh wow!! Look at the sea! It’s so beautiful!” Kara gasps as she presses herself against the window and like an excited child she unbuckles and races towards the beach. Having already spotted Alex, Kelly and Sam setting up.

Emma snorts at her sister’s behaviour while she unbuckles her seatbelt.

“Er… She will help us with the food? Right?” Lena looks back at the overflow of food bags in the back of the bug.

“Yea as soon as she realises she will shoot back up here.” Emma chuckles while getting out of the car. And Kara did just that as Emma went to pay for a parking ticket she watched Kara race back up to them, in human speed. “Glad to see you helping.” Emma raises an eyebrow at her sister as Kara reaches the bug.

“Sorry! I just got really excited! It’s so beautiful here!” Kara bounces like a puppy.

“Now you understand why I dragged you here instead of going to the beach at NC?” Emma says while carefully unstrapping her board before lowering it and leaning it up against the bug.

“Yes, yes.” Kara keeps her eyes on the beach.

“Hey.” Emma smirks at her distracted sister.

“Yea?” Kara tears her eyes away to look at Emma. Smiling when Emma opens are arms and they hug. “Haven’t been able to give you one yet.” Emma says in her ear. Kara buries her face into Emma’s neck, enjoying the warmth and feeling of home whenever she hugs her sisters.

The car door closing makes them break apart. “Okay I think that’s everything.” Lena says while looking at the small mountain of bags.

“Thanks Lena!” Kara sings as she grabs half of the bags before Emma can tell her to only take a few. Hopefully no one will question how a slim woman can carry that much weight. Lena catches Emma’s eye and they both roll their eyes at each other.

“Jink!” Emma yells causing Lena to do another eye roll. Before Emma can reach down for her stuff Lena steps forward.

“Can I have a hug too?”

“Sure you can Lee.” Emma opens her arms wide and Lena almost tackles her with her enthusiasm. They both sigh happily as they hold onto each other a bit longer than necessary. Emma breaks the hug and steps back, grabbing her backpack, placing a few food bags on her shoulders picking up her guitar, and securing her surfboard under her arm. “Oh Lee don’t take that many, Kara will come up and get the last few.”

“Okay.” Lena nods while swinging a food bag on each of her shoulders and they start walking towards the beach. “Kara is right though, it’s really beautiful here.”

Emma smiles at her, happy Lena approves. The sand was a beautiful white which made the sea clear and looked like a gorgeous turquoise and teal. The richness of the colours makes Emma want to weep with happiness. They could pretend like they were in the Caribbean or on the Hawaiian islands.

“Hey Peanut!” Alex yells as Emma approaches her.

Peanut has always been Alex’s nickname for Emma since their parents told three year old Alex she was going to be a big sister. Alex had been fascinated about it all and when her Mom had told her the baby was the size of a peanut the name stuck. Even when Emma grew and was the size of tennis ball Alex would still refer to the baby as Peanut.

“Hey sis!” Emma yells back, dumping her stuff on one of the picnic blankets. Alex comes over and pulls Emma into a tight hug, quickly followed by Kelly and Sam. “Been a long time Sam, how are you?”

“I know I’m sorry!” Sam says as she takes a step back. “Life’s been hectic!”

“Oh don’t I know it.” Emma laughs. “Maybe you can ask your boss to allow you to have a life?” Emma teases while giving Lena a pointed look.

“Not my problem she wants to work longer hours then she is contracted!” Lena places her hands on her hips.

“Maybe she’s following her boss's example? And maybe the boss needs to cut down too? Maybe relax a bit?” Emma stalks towards her crush.

“Maybe-” Lena stops what she was going to say and tilts her head as she watches Emma approach. A smirk on her face. “What are you doing?”

Suddenly Emma reaches out and starts tickling Lena who laughs loudly and tries to swat the blonde away.

“Lena! She’s ticklish too!” Alex snickers as she goes through the food bags.

“Traitor!” Emma yells as Lena starts her own assault. The two women fall to the sand in fits of giggles as they wrestle. Before Emma can gain the upper hand Lena straddles her and continues tickling her. “No! Lena!” Emma kicks out trying to shift the woman on top of her. But Lena was not budging. “Argh! I surrender! Please!” Emma wheezes.

“I win?" Lena stops and gazes down at Emma triumphantly.

“You win.” Emma coughs and when Lena moves off her she instantly misses the feeling of Lena’s weight on top of her.

“Are you ladies done or are you going to help?” Alex raises her eyebrow at them as they catch their breath.

“Yes ma'am.” Emma salutes before getting up, rubbing the sand off herself and reaching out to help Lena up. They smirk at each other and set to work getting the rest of the blankets and chairs out for the Superfriends.

Soon the other group arrives and they all sit chatting and relaxing. The men start setting the BBQ up, insisting they can do it, much to the amusement of the women as they try to do it without looking at the instructions.

Alex, Kara and Emma smile at each other as they share a look before giggling. The Danvers sisters have barbecuing in the great outdoors down to an art. But if it keeps the men happy they stay quiet. Sighing Emma turns away from the entertainment and looks out to sea, watching the waves and the surfers riding them.

Alex shuffles up to her, resting her head on Emma’s shoulder. “You can go if you want.”

Emma rests the side of her head on her sister’s. “I know, but the waves aren’t quite right yet.”

“Okay.” Alex wraps her arms around Emma, who returns the gesture and holds onto Alex. Emma moves her head and kisses Alex’s head before resting her own on Alex’s again.

Alex smiles and kisses Emma’s hand that's holding her close. At first Alex wasn’t too keen on the idea of coming to the beach, too much work to do at the DEO and an hour travelling seems like an eternity. But Alex is glad she came. They sit content.

“How can you tell if the waves are not right?” Brainy asks, having left J'onn and James to sort out the BBQ.

Emma looks up at him. “I don’t know, you just can. It’s a feeling.” Emma runs a hand through her hair trying to think of a better way to explain it. “Like when you are out there you know a big wave is coming, the wave. You just got to be patient and take the moment when it comes.”

Brainy tilts his head at her. “I think I understand.”

“Well I’m glad you did.” Alex snorts and yelps when Emma playfully slaps her bare arm.

“Oh come on I didn’t slap you that hard!” Emma laughs but rubs her sister’s arm.

“Anyone wanna play rounders?” Lena asks the group as she picks up one of her bags. She pulls out a rounders bat, which is shorter than a baseball bat, and ball.

“Rounders?” Kara asks, confused. “Don’t you mean baseball?”

“No, I mean rounders, it’s what we played at my boarding school. It’s the game that baseball came from. The first known account of it was in 1744 with the Tudors.” Half of the group look at Lena blankly, while the other half look interested and know who the Tudors are. “Basically you still have four bases, home runs etc. The bowler must do underarm, though we can do overarm…” Lena pauses. “It’s just different okay?”

“Sounds good to me!” Sam leaps to her feet and starts setting the four bases up. Everyone else follows suit and splits into teams, Lena and Sam being the captains of each team. On Lena’s team is Kara, James, Alex and Emma versus Sam’s team which has Kelly, J'onn, Brainy and Nia.

After a coin toss Lena’s team bats first with Sam being the bowler, or pitcher, as Alex yells out.

“And can we make a rule of no powers? We don’t want the ball getting batted into space!” Sam jokes as she jogs to bowler base.

“Sounds fair.” Kara says looking at J'onn who nods in agreement. She gets into position to bat. She hits the ball no problem and starts to run, but she hits the ball too high and Brainy is already waiting to catch it.

“Out!” Sam yells as Brainy holds the ball in his hand, causing Kara to skid to a halt. She turns and walks back to the team, kicking the sand as she goes.

“Hard luck sis.” Alex rubs Kara’s back when she comes back to the line up. Pouting all the way. Emma gives her a hug and kisses her cheek.

“You’ll do it next time.” Emma reassures her.

They watch James get into position and hit quite a good ball. He manages to get to third base before having to stop when Nia catches the ball while on 4th base.

Lena is the next to go and Emma can’t help but watch as she sways her hips getting ready to strike. Her ball goes low and far. She sprints off and her team screams and cheers when she manages to do a home run.

“Nicely done Lee!” Emma holds her hand out to high five the out of breath CEO.

“Thanks.” Lena smiles brightly at the blonde while holding onto her hand longer than necessary.

Alex is up next, feeling the pressure of going after Lena’s home run.

“You got this babe!” Kelly smiles from the 2nd base. Alex smiles back at her before readying herself. She misses the first ball.

“Strike 1!”

Huffing Alex gets back into position again. And misses.

“Strike two!”

“You got this Al!” Emma claps and encourages her sister.

Taking a deep breath Alex readies herself and watches the ball. She manages to hit it and sprints to 2nd base.

“Nice to see you Alex!” Kelly teases the red head causing Alex to gently shove her girlfriend.

“Right you’re up Emma!” Sam calls as she catches the ball.

Emma picks the bat up, wiping the sand off it and stands in position. Noticing the opponents are standing mainly to the left, Emma decides to trick them. When Sam throws the ball she quickly turns her body and whacks the ball to the right side of the field far away from the group. She runs half the way and seeing Brainy is still running to the ball she walks the rest of the way, dancing and blowing kisses. She starts sprinting the last few feet as the ball is being thrown towards Nia. The team celebrates her home run and they play a few more rounds, having a few collisions and lots of laughter. They have two more goes each and swap over. Lena takes over as the bowler. “Pitcher!” Alex yells as she runs to man 2nd base.

The new batting team does just as well and Sam’s team are one point behind. J’onn is up as the last batter, it’s all on him. If he gets a home run Sam’s team has won the game. Emma watches the ball carefully as Lena throws it and in a split second it's coming right at her. She reaches out her hand and catches it. Everyone stares dumbfoundead before yelling in surprise and either excitement from winning or groans for losing.

Emma’s team crowd her and she laughs at the attention.

“Emma?” A voice says behind her.

Emma’s head shoots round and she smiles when she sees her bandmates standing there.

“Guys?” She rushes towards them. Emma had told them of her plans and had invited them to join. They had said they were busy so it's a huge surprise to Emma that they stood in front of her. “What are you doing here?”

“We are… Wanted to talk to you.” Jack, the guitarist and other singer, says before he looks at the Superfriends behind Emma, watching them intently. “Alone.”

“Sure.” Emma shrugs, she turns back to Lena and throws her the ball. Emma walks with her bandmates along the beach until they are far enough away. Though Emma is sure Kara can still hear them. “So, whats up? Everything okay?”

“Er… So about that-” Danny, the drummer, starts but rubs his neck. Feeling very awkward. Frankie, the keyboardist, doesn’t make eye contact with Emma and shuffles his feet in the sand.

Mick interrupts. “We want to leave the band.”

Emma’s mind screeches to a halt. “Leave? All of you?”

“Yea Em. Just with Jack getting engaged, Frankie’s Dad being ill and Danny’s baby is due. We just don’t have the same drive like you do.” Mick looks sadly at her. “We are a great team, but it’s just not the same. After moving to National City we realised we want to settle, have families, the whole white picket fence thing.”

Emma places her hands on her hips, biting her lips to stop the tears threatening to fall. “What about the new album? We’ve already written most of the songs.”

“You don’t need us Em. You are the front runner and can do this with anyone.” Jack tries to reassure her.

“But they won’t be you.” Emma’s heart starts to break when she looks at the finality in each of their eyes. “And… And nothing I can say will change your minds?”

Her four bandmates shake their heads.

“Okay.” Emma looks up at the sky, taking a deep breath before looking back at the men in front of her. “Well, can we do a farewell tour?”

“Sounds like a good plan.” Danny smiles sadly at her and the other three nod.

“Can we give you a hug?” Jack asks quietly, hating seeing Emma so defeated.

Emma nods and they go in for a long group hug. But as the tears start to spill Emma breaks the hug and rushes back to the Superfriends. Ignoring any questions, she throws off her clothes and jewellery and grabs her board. Sprinting to the surf and diving into the sea.

She paddles quickly, still hearing voices, most likely Kara and Alex, calling after her. But she drowns it out by duck diving under a wave as it rolls over her and she resurfaces. Emma continues further out past the swell where she can stop and just lie there. Letting the board bob as she gazes at the horizon. Emma allows her tears to fall. Her face distorts with her disappointment and hurt.

‘What am I going to do?’ Emma thinks. She gets why the guys want to leave. Knowing this would happen one day. Or at least a break, but it still hurts. ‘Since when did it change for them?’ Emma stays like this for a while, lost in her own thoughts.

Some time later splashing behind her makes her turn her head and she sits up. A wet laugh breaks through her lips when she sees Kara and Alex balancing on a paddle board trying to reach her. Alex particularly looks like how a cat would look in this situation. On her knees and very tense having come to a very deep part of the beach. Alex doesn’t like not being able to touch the bottom, or see it. Kara is using the paddle, obviously using a bit of her super strength with how quickly they are going.

“What you laughing at?” Alex snaps.

“Nothing.” Emma smiles sadly at her while wiping the tears from her face. She swings her legs around and places them either side of the board. When the paddle board comes alongside Emma’s, Kara moves to sit down. Causing Alex to shriek as the board rocks dangerously. Emma reaches out and steadies it while trying not to laugh.

“Sorry Alex!” Kara apologises before turning her attention to Emma. “You okay?”

Immediately Emma’s smile drops and her eyes fill with tears again. She furiously rubs her eyes to stop them. “Yea fine.”

“No you’re not.” Alex sighs, hating seeing her sister look so unhappy.

“Guessing you heard?” Emma looks at Kara who nods sadly. Crinkle on her forehead evident of her concern. Emma looks down at her hands, not able to look at her sisters anymore. “I just… I get why…” Emma exhales deeply. “It just hurts you know. We are so in sync with each other and I honestly can’t imagine having to restart all that again.”

“But you will.” Alex reaches out and touches Emma’s linked hands. “Because your voice, your music needs to be heard Em.”

“Yea it's one of my favourite sounds, like ever.” Kara agrees. “But you know you will always have us, right?”

Emma nods, allowing a few more tears to fall.

Alex reaches out and wipes the tears from Emma’s cheeks. “And yes it sucks right in this moment but you will get through this. We will both help you through this.”

“Totally.” Kara agrees.

“Thanks.” Somehow Alex manages to hug Emma without falling in and Kara joins them.

Right on queue Kara’s stomach rumbles. “Oh and lunch is ready.”

“Uh oh the monsters coming.” Emma smirks as she looks at her alien sister.

“Race ya?!” Kara jumps to her feet making the board rock dangerously and had Emma not been holding Alex the red head would have fallen in. After making sure her sisters were okay Emma waves them off.

“Nah, you go on ahead, I’ll be right behind you.”

Emma watches her sisters go, hoping Kara has enough control not to cause Alex to fall in too far from the beach. She keeps her eyes fixed on them, slowly following in case Alex needed her. But when they reach the shore Emma lets out the breath she didn’t realise she was holding. Emma chuckles when Kara returns the paddle board they borrowed to get to her.

Shaking her head Emma starts slowly paddling into the swell and waits, her board moving with the ocean. Suddenly she feels a shift. Emma lies on her stomach and starts paddling hard. She smiles as her board gets picked up by the huge wave. Whooping as her board flies through the tube, she reaches out and skims her hand along the break. She comes out the other end and using the momentum turns her board, shooting her closer to the beach. Until finally her board slows down and she jumps off, wading the short distance to the shore.

“Hey!” A surfer approaches her, smiling flirtatiously. His brunette hair slicked back from the sea.

“Hi.” Emma responds while picking up her board.

“That was a sweet wave you just did!” His enthusiasm makes Emma smile.

“Thanks, kind of wish it went on forever.” She admits, cause really there was nothing like going through the tube of a wave. The colours and sounds were breathtaking.

“Ah man I know right?!” He laughs. “So, I was wondering if I could have your number?”

“EMMA!” She turns to look at Kara who is waving her arms about wildly. Most likely due to Alex saying she can’t eat until Emma joins them.

“Thank you but I’m kind of not available. Sorry.”

“No worries at all.” He looks slightly disappointed but still smiles.

“EMMAAAAAA!!!”

Emma laughs at how Kara’s yells got even louder. “Well I better go, don’t want my sister getting any more hangry.” Emma starts to walk back to the group.

“It was a pleasure meeting you, Emma.” He calls after her.

Emma swings round but continues walking backwards. “You too.” She turns back around, smiling and shaking her head.

As soon as Emma gets near, Kara is loading her plate up at top, human, speed. Emma chuckles at the sight and digs the end of her board into the sand before taking the leash off and flopping onto the picnic blanket.

“Who was that?” Kelly asked across from her. Lena pretends she isn’t listening in as she gets some food.

“Oh just some guy congratulating me on my sweet wave.” Emma imitates the guy's accent which makes them laugh.

“And he wanted her number!” Kara teases while she sits next to Emma.

Whistles and ooo’s sound around the group. Alex watches bemused as Lena purses her lips before going back to a neutral expression.

“So where’s the number?” Sam asks excitedly, not missing Lena’s rigid posture.

“Meh, not my type.” Emma tries to play it off cooly while she grabs her top and shorts to change into again. Not minding that they will get a bit damp as the sun is out in full blaze. She also applies her suncream handing it around and reminding everyone to keep it topped up.

“Since when has hunky surfer boy not been your type?” Kara asks confused as she focuses on the surfer. “Honestly I could grate cheese on his abs!”

“Kara!” Emma laughs loudly while she dishes up a plate of food.

“You also said you weren’t available,” Kara presses on, missing the looks Alex was giving her. “Who's the lucky guy or gal?” Emma had come out as bisexual when she was a young teenager. Her Mom and sister’s supported her and Emma was glad she could do the same for Alex when she came out to her. Alex had even flown out specially to where Emma was gigging to tell her. At first Emma was really worried when Alex avoided eye contact and was nervously fidgeting in her seat. When Alex finally blurted it out Emma held her sister close. Saying how proud she was of her and her love for her sister hadn’t changed.

“No one, I just wanted to get him off my back.” Emma says nonchalantly but inside she was freaking out. She’d said it because yes she wasn’t available because her heart belonged to Lena.

Kelly gives Alex a look and watches as Emma settles in-between Lena and Kara under the umbrella they were sitting under. Alex doesn’t miss how much closer Emma sits to Lena than her sister.

The Superfriends continue talking and when everyone has finished eating they split off to do their own thing. Alex and Kelly go for a walk, mainly to come up with a plan to get Emma and Lena together. While Kara, J'onn, Sam, Nia, Brainy and James play volleyball. Girls and against boys. “Original.” Emma mutters causing Lena to snort.

Lena and Emma opt to stay with everyones stuff. Lena is happy to sit back against the pile and read a book she’s been wanting to read for months but never had the chance.

Emma sighs as she looks at her guitar case. Twiddling her thumbs for a moment she draws her knees to her chest and watches the waves. But not feeling quite ready to get back in.

After half an hour Lena puts her book down and focuses on Emma. “Something on your mind?” Lena asks, nudging her shoulder into Emma, causing the blonde to sway.

“Guessing Kara told you?” Emma keeps her eyes fixed in front of her.

“Yes, she was relaying what was being said.” Lena says apologetically.

“It’s okay. Makes it easier in a way.” Sighing heavily Emma turns to look at Lena. Who is watching her with concern. “I just don’t know what to do. I need to look for new bandmates, but that just seems so daunting. Can I really go through that all again?” Emma runs her hands through her hair. Huffing she looks back into emerald eyes. “Okay if we don’t talk about it? Just enjoy what we have right now?”

“And what do we have?”

“Great company, good food and a wonderful view.” Emma motions to the beach around them.

“Yea, I can do that.” Lena keeps her eyes on Emma.

“Go back to your book Lee. I’ll be fine.” Emma tries to smile reassuringly.

Lena doesn’t buy it but starts reading again. She watches Emma from the corner of her eye as she shuffles over to her guitar case, opening it and pulling the guitar out, making sure it is in tune.

Emma gets her songbook out of her case, opening the page to a song she had started writing. Making sure she doesn’t hit Lena with her guitar Emma settles back down. Grabbing her phone she hits record and starts plucking. Softly singing to herself.

Tell me somethin', girl Are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?

Emma pauses as she remembers a chorus of a song she’s been working on. She quickly flips to that page and moves her fingers to find the chords. She continues to play. Not realising her soft singing has steadily got louder.

I'm falling

Emma sees Lena in her mind as she sings. Her pain at falling for her friend and not having the courage to take it deeper.

In all the good times I find myself Longin' for change And in the bad times I fear myself

Sighing Emma looks at the sea before turning her head slightly to look at the raven haired beauty. Whose focus is on the book in front of her. Returning her attention to her notebook Emma keeps playing and singing.

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now

Lifting her head she focuses on the sea again.

In the shallow, shallow

In the shallow, shallow In the shallow, shallow We're far from the shallow now.

Emma pauses and stops the recording. Running a hand through her hair which starts getting more wavy from getting wet.

“Wow Em.” Lena breathes out.

Emma turns to Lena who put the book next to her. “You like that?”

“Yes, seriously… I don’t have the words.”

“Thanks, it’s not really finished. It needs another verse…” Emma goes through her notebook but comes up empty. Replaying the first verse Emma closes her eyes to figure out the words for the second verse.

Tell me something, boy

“What rhymes with boy?” Emma mutters to herself. “Toy? No… Void?”

Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?

Emma sighs as she remembers friends she has lost due to depression and addiction. Knowing how hard it is to feel whole and get out of the pit.

Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

She sings through the bridge and the chorus again, making sure it all fits. But to her horror she realises she stopped the recording.

“Crap!” Looking down her phone wasn’t where she left it. Instead it's in Lena’s hand.

“I could see you didn’t press record so I did it for you.” Lena answers Emma’s questioning gaze as she presses the button to stop the recording.

“Thanks Lee.” Emma takes her phone and grabs her pen, listening to the recording and writing the song out in full with the chords.

Lena watches Emma. “Do you usually write songs that quickly?” Lena asks, fascinated.

Emma laughs in response. “No, not usually. I guess I was more inspired.” She shrugs, placing her guitar back in the case with her notebook. She shuffles back over to Lena. “Can I?”

Lena looks up and nods, letting Emma lean down, resting her head in Lena’s lap. They do this quite often and it always makes Lena’s heart skip a beat. Slowly she puts her book down beside her and runs a hand through Emma’s hair. Looking at the view and doing what Emma said, enjoying the moment.

Time passes on and Emma watches the group playing volleyball. Kelly and Alex have joined them, Kelly staying with the girls while Alex went over to the boys side. Emma smirks when Kara would not so sneakily use her powers to gain an advantage.

But Emma’s attention diverted back to the sea, the tide was coming in and the swell had gotten bigger. Turning her head to look up at Lena Emma pauses. Her eyes linger on Lena’s chest before taking in her profile. ‘Rao she’s so beautiful.’

“Okay if I catch a few more waves?” Emma asks, finding her voice.

Looking down Lena smiles. “Sure.”

“Thanks Lee.” Emma sits up and presses a kiss to Lena’s cheek. As Emma takes her clothes off she grabs her board and runs to the surf. Lena touches her flushed cheek and smiles softly.

Soon the volleyball group end their game, the boys team winning by a few points. They head back to their set up, laughing at how both J'onn and Kara leapt for the ball, only to miss it completely.

“Hi Lena!” Kara says while sitting next to her best friend. “How's the book?”

“It’s…” Lena looks down at the book and realises she’s only got through part of the first chapter. Her attention had mainly been watching Emma surf. “Slow.”

“Ah I hate it when that happens!” Kara hands Lena a drink while they sit and watch Emma. Who had just gone through another tube, much to the excitement of the surfers watching in the shallows. “I don’t know how she makes it look so easy!”

“It’s one of her many talents.” Lena agrees, though there is always a feeling of anxiety whenever anyone she cares for is in any body of water.

“Totally.” Kara says before sighing sadly.

“Kara?” Lena asks concerned for the Super.

“I just… She’s worked so hard. I know she will come back from this, but when Alex and I got to her she… She just looked so broken.” Kara sighs again. Worry filling her eyes as she watches her sister.

“She didn’t want to talk about it. But said how daunting it is to find new bandmates. Which I can understand.” Lena knows how hard it is to make friends in general.

“Yea it’s not the easiest of processes. She needs to click with them, for them to become in sync with each other and then get on with them. How they managed to drive around in that tour bus all over America and later the world is beyond me!” Kara says with wide eyes, she had joined Emma for a few gigs and thankfully the venues weren’t too far from each other. But Kara found the journey long and boring.

“Kara, anything slower then you flying is beyond you!” Lena's teasing causes Kara to laugh loudly.

“True!”

They continue watching Emma who attempts a few aerial tricks. The spray of the sea flying high above her. “She wrote a really beautiful song just now.”

“Really?” Kara perks up and Lena nods. “Think she’ll play it for us?”

“Maybe.” Lena hopes Emma does. She really wants to hear it again.

While Emma still surfs the Superfriends play UNO. Laughing at how competitive Alex is getting and only getting calmed down when Kelly gives her a gentle kiss. 

As the sun starts to slowly descend Emma finally gets out of the sea. Waving goodbye to a group of surfers she had been talking to.

She notices a fire has been built in the centre of the Superfriends circle and a few of them are roasting marshmallows.

Emma’s body is completely shattered but she smiles at the feeling. Making a note to come back here as much as she can. Even if the weather isn’t perfect like today.

The Superfriends greet her while she grabs her stuff to change. Alex stands and uses one of the blankets to block anyone’s view of Emma. Kara joins in and goes to the other side. Emma scoffs knowing full well she can change without showing anything and there has been no paparazzi bothering her.

Finally dry and feeling much warmer Emma sits next to Lena and places her head on her shoulder. She can’t help but yawn and let her eyes drift.

“Tired Em?” Alex teases from across the circle and smiles at Lena whose cheeks are tinged with red.

“Uhmm.” Emma confirms. “Do we have any more food?” She asks, keeping her eyes closed. “Or has Kara eaten it all?”

“Hey!” Kara swats Emma playfully but causes Emma to jump and glare at her. “Sorry! Did I hurt you?” Kara asks, panicked.

“No, I was just surprised.” Emma sighs before resting her head back on Lena’s shoulder.

“Well I did see a pizza place as we drove in. Maybe we can order?” Nia asks.

“Sounds like a good plan to me!” Emma gives a thumbs up. Pizza is one of her favourite foods.

With the joys of technology the friends order and half an hour later a pizza boy with a mountainful of pizza boxes comes towards them. They thank him and dig in. Emma grabs Lena and her pizza, two cans of soda and some salad left over from lunch.

“M’lady.” Emma holds out the cans which Lena takes. “I got some salad too.” Emma places the container in front of Lena.

“Thank you Em.” Lena says touched that Emma thought about her. She opens the lid and wonders how she can eat it. Looking up she sees Emma holding out a knife and fork for her and she smiles.

“You may need this.”

Lena grins back thanking her and takes the cutlery from the blonde.

Emma happily munches away at the pizza, rolling her eyes when the debate about Hawaiian pizza is brought up.

“Personally I don’t see anything wrong with it.” Sam defends laughing at Brainy’s stunned face.

“But to have a fruit on a savoury dish… it just does not compute.”

“Brainy.” Emma gets the alien’s attention. “Have you actually tried it?”

“No I have not.” He looks appalled that Emma would ask that.

“Then how’d you know if it doesn’t work?” Emma tilts her head.

After a moment of thinking Brainy nods. “Fair point.”

“Next game night I will order one and you can try it!” Sam says happily while winking at Emma, who smiles back.

“Just keep it away from me.” Alex says, shivering at the thought.

“Sorry to change the subject, buuutttt, Emma.” Kara says making Emma freeze while her last pizza slice was near her lips. She lowers it slightly while looking at her sister, who is beaming from ear to ear.

“Yea?”

“I saw you working on a song, wanna share it?”

All the Superfriends turn to look at Emma expectantly. Always appreciative of hearing anything Emma is working on. Taking a deep breath she lowers the slice back to the box and wipes her hands on a napkin.

“Peanut, you don’t have too.” Alex says glaring at Kara. Emma would do anything to make her sisters happy, Alex knew this. So did Kara. And yes, they would both exploit it sometimes.

“No, it’s okay. Would be great to get everyone's opinion.” Emma grabs her guitar and notebook. Reminding herself of the chords. “So… This… Well…” Sighing heavily, Emma closes her eyes to control her nerves. “I kind of imagine this as a duet, but with, well, the band breaking up. I may have to rethink it a bit.” Emma focuses on the fire in front of her, feeling too embarrassed to look at anyone.

She starts playing the chords and sings. Allowing the music to wash over and for her voice to carry with the wind. Emma adds the new verse but as she nears the end she feels her emotions take over, her frustration at her situation and the need to release it. She improvises. Closing her eyes and allowing herself to go with it.

Whoa-oh-ah-oh-ahh

Emma belts out, slamming her fingers into the guitar strings as she increases in passion and volume.

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in I'll never meet the ground Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now

A smile graces Emma’s face as she lifts her head.

In the shallow, shallow In the shallow, shallow

Emma softens her voice, allowing the natural end of the song to take place.

In the shallow, shallow We're far from the shallow now.

Emma allows the last chord to hold longer than necessary. She keeps her eyes closed and waits.

A huge roar around her causes her to jump and open her eyes. A crowd has gathered round the group and are applauding her. The Superfriends all clap wildly too, Alex wipes tears from her face and Kara beams as brightly as the sun. Emma turns to look at Lena and her smile is as bright, if not brighter then Kara’s. Her green eyes simmering with tears. Emma watches as one falls and she gently reaches out and wipes it away with her thumb.

She then acknowledges the crowd with a small wave and thanks them with a bow of her head. They soon disperse, returning to their own groups and Emma sighs in relief.

“So, was the song okay?” Emma asks while picking at a chipped bit of wood on the base of her guitar.

“Okay?” Alex's voice booms causing Emma to quickly look at her sister. Alex’s eyes are wide. “Okay? Em that song… Wow I don’t have the words!”

“That’s what Lena said.” Emma smiles at the two women.

“Well it’s true.” Lena grins back, nudging her shoulder into the blonde’s.

The other Superfriends nod and agree.

“It really moved me.” Sam says smiling at Emma who blushes in response.

“Yes.” Brainy adds. “Very- touching.” Nia smiles at him. Emma grins too, happy Brainy was able to express himself.

Emma plays a few more well known songs and the Superfriends join in. But as the sun dips slowly into the horizon Emma stops and hands the guitar to James who continues playing. Not as well as Emma but enough.

Emma heads back towards the surf, wading in up to below her knees. Taking deep breaths she watches the colours change, memorising the rich reds, oranges and yellows. Lena comes and stands next to her. They watch in comfortable silence and Lena links her fingers with Emma’s. They smile softly to each other before watching the sun dip under the horizon.

| MASTERLIST IN BIO |

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the days after the jokes carried on but you both weren’t quite as forward with it when you were in front of people.

But the night that you ended up going out for a meal, you both sort of had to pretend it was real.

“Y/N” Alex called as he walked into the lounge.

You were sat in your spot on the sofa just scrolling though twitter on your phone. You weren’t that invested in it so you were happy for whatever distraction he was about to bring.

“Yes, my love?” You say as you look up from your phone to the messy haired brunette that was your best friend, Alex Turner.

Alex grinned at you calling him that, but he didn’t make it obvious that he would love you to address him like that all the time. He just tried to carry on his conversation without grinning as much.

“So, I was thinking…” Alex says as he sits himself down next to you but then shuffles closer.

“Never a good thing” You smile at him teasingly as you lock your phone.

Alex then sends you an evil glare before pushing your shoulder. You half fall onto the arm of the settee before you sigh at his actions.

“Why do you insist on bullying me Al? I’ve done nothing wrong” You said sitting yourself back up, now facing the brunette next to you.

Alex scoffed at that, “You just said that I think too much”

“No, I didn’t at all” You defend yourself, shaking your head.

“Well you inferred it then” Alex said, and you didn’t have a comeback.

You could only smile at him and Alex looked at you with a victorious smirk.

“Wipe that smile off your face and tell me what you’re thinking” You grin at him before putting your hand over his mouth for a second.

Alex chuckled beneath your hand before he pulled away so he could tell you.

“I was thinking, we could go out for dinner tonight with Matt and Bre?” Alex purposed.

“Yeah I’m up for that” You smile at your best friend.

“Sweet I’ll ring the Matt and see if they wanna go. I’m really excited to finally go here. It’s meant to be really nice” Alex tells you, excitement clear in his voice.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing though” You grin at Alex knowingly.

He looked at you dumbfounded, obviously not following you at all.

“You just don’t want to cook” You point out and Alex bursts out laughing.

“Damn right. Stop calling me out on it though” He laughed, and you couldn’t help but giggle.

After double checking with Alex what sort of restaurant it was, you ended up dressing yourself in a burgundy dress that came down to your mid-thigh. You didn’t bother with much make up you just ended up doing a winged eyeliner and a little bit of nude eyeshadow.

You put some black heels on and put your purse and phone in your black bag that you brought and once your hair was straightened you went downstairs.

You waited for Alex to come down before you put your leather jacket on. You didn’t think about bringing a dressy coat with you so the leather jacket would have to do.

Alex ended up coming down the stairs in an all-black suit which you fucking adored. He looked fit as fuck and that was putting it nicely.

He’d styled his hair back like usual and fuck, you wanted him to just call off the meal and take you upstairs. He looked delicious.

Before you knew it, you were in the car on the way to the restaurant. Matt and Breana said that they would drive up separately which no one minded about.

You were just going to wait for them when you got there.

“If I’m going out to dinner with you Alex, you better treat me right” You tell him in the car.

He scoffs at you, “When have I ever treated you wrong?”

“That time that you didn’t even give me a chip and I paid for your takeout” You recalled with a giggle.

When you got to the lovely looking restaurant, you and Alex headed to the bar to get yourselves a drink first. You got the both of you the first one and paid cash for them so at least you could say you got something tonight.  

You had no doubt you’d fight Alex over the bill later.

After about 20 minutes and Matt and Breana were still nowhere to be seen, Alex decided the ring them to see where they were.

“Where are you both?” Alex asked when Matt answered the call.

Matt told him, “The car’s broke down”

“Shit, are you alright, do you need us to come get you?” Alex asks but he doesn’t hear Matt’s reply because you took his attention.

“Are they okay?” You ask, slightly worried.

Breana wasn’t due for another 3 months, so you mind immediately went to the baby.

Alex obviously saw the worry that took over your gorgeous face and he nodded to calm your nerves. He put this arm around you and ran his hand up and down your arm to try and sooth you a bit.

“Yeah don’t worry, their car broke down” Alex told you.

“Oh shit” You say, a small pout forming on your lips.

Alex wanted to kiss it away.

“Do we need to go get them?” You ask as you look into those brown eyes and ask.

“Shall we come get you?” Alex asks Matt again.

“Nah don’t worry we’re fine at home” Matt told him, which confused Alex a hell of a lot.

How could they have already been at home if the car was broke down? They said they set off 5 minutes after you both did in the text he sent before.

“But I thought you jus-“ Alex started, but Matt interrupted him.

“Yeah that’s the excuse you can tell Y/N about why we’re not there” Matt told Alex.

“What?” Alex asked now completely confused.

Matt told Alex, “We’re not coming. We are reliving you of our presence so you can grow some balls and go on a date with Y/N”

“Matt -” Alex was about to scorn him, but he was interrupted yet again.

“No don’t start, just shut up… You won’t pull your finger out and do it yourself so here’s your gentle shove in the right direction…” Matt tells him and Alex all of a sudden wants to murder his best friend.

“We hope you both have a lovely night, and you can consider this a date with her. So then if it goes well, you’ll hopefully finally both do something about the suffocating sexual tension” Matt can’t help but chuckle.

“You’re a twat” Alex scorns him in a low voice.

“I am a twat for putting petrol in my diesel car, you’re right. That’s the story by the way. Have a great night Al” Matt said before hanging up the phone.

His best friend played games well, Alex would give him that.

“What’s going on?” You asked as you watched Alex putting his phone in his pocket.

“Matt’s an idiot and put petrol instead of diesel in his car, so it’s fucked” Alex told you going along with the story he was given.

You can’t help but laugh, “He’s such an idiot”

“I know”

You ask your boy in black, “Are we going to get them?”

Alex decided to give his best friend’s plan a shot, “Actually he told us to have the meal anyway. He said there was no point in ruining everyone’s night because of his stupid mistake so he told us to carry on”

“Ooo, so I get my boyfriend all to myself then?” You cheekily grin up at him.

“You have me all to yourself anyway” Alex says with a grin.

You can’t help but smile at that as you take a sip of your drink.

“I’ll just go tell someone to change the table for two instead” Alex told you before placing a kiss to the top of your head. 

Why did even that send your heart racing a mile a minute?

“Let me hang your jacket up whilst I go?” Alex asked you as he gave a small tug on the collar at the back of the jacket. 

You smiled at how gentlemanly he was being and you let the jacket slip off your shoulders as he pulled the leather from your arms. 

“Thought we were saving the strip tease for when we got home Al?” You turn and grin at him. 

Alex smirked and raised his eyebrows at you suggestively as he put your jacket over his arm. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll be after one when we get home too. But that can go instead of the jacket” Alex said nodding down to your dress. 

You couldn't help but grin at the thought. You raised your eyebrows suggestively at him and he could see the playfulness in your eyes. 

Alex winked at you before disappearing off and you have to get your temperature under control whilst he’s absent. Everything he did made you hot and bothered. 

You really were a complete mess for Alex Turner. 

After Alex sorts everything out, he comes back over and you note that he’s now rolled the sleeves of his black shirt up to his elbows. So you’re left subtly looking at his toned arms and it was like you were having your meal now. 

He was to die for. 

Everything about him drew you in. The aftershave he used smelt amazing and you’d obviously already took notice of his strong arms. 

But with the blazer shed off him too, you loved that his shirt hung open a bit more because nothing was keeping it in place. The 4 buttons that he had undone made him more drool worthy. 

And not to mention the stunning jawline, high cheek bones and perfectly styled hair. His chocolate brown eyes that never strayed away from you also made you hot and bothered. 

When you’d both finished your drinks at the bar, you nudge Alex with your shoulder. After understanding your silent instruction for you to follow him he was hot on your heels. 

“Right boyfriend, come on” You joke as you head towards reception where you were told go when you were ready to come through to the table.

“Ah, this lovely gentleman is your boyfriend?” The older waiter asks you. You can hear a hint of an Italian accent too and you love it.

“Oh I…” You start stumbling on your words, not meaning for anyone to hear the joke but Alex.

“How lucky are you sir, to call this beautiful lady yours, yes?” The Italian man asks Alex with a grin.

“Oh yes, I’m very lucky” Alex says before throwing an arm around your waist and he pulls you into his side.

“You are indeed sir, follow me and I’ll show you to your table” The man smiles

You start to follow the man in the dapper black suit, but Alex keeps you close to him as you do.

“Looks like your definitely mine for the night now” Alex says and without looking at him, you can tell a smirk will be on his face.

You fire back though, “Thought I was definitely yours anyway?” trying to get even with him for the what he said at the bar.

You hear his low chuckle as you make your way to the table where the lovely older gentleman is waiting for the two of you.

The waiter tucks your chair in for you and you send him a smile of gratitude. You can’t help but take in your surroundings though.

The restaurant was stunning. Despite it having a lot of tables, it still felt quite personal.

You had a lot of space and the room was immaculately presented. The theme you could tell straight away was black and red.

From the waiter’s uniforms with the black suit with the red tie, to the menus that had the same colours and the red water glass and napkin on the table. You and Alex had matched the room pretty well.

And considering you’d never been here before, the burgundy dress made you feel like you fit in more. You still felt like you were a bit too common for such a fancy place, but you could already tell you’d love your night here.

“My name is Roberto and I’ll be serving you this evening” He told you as he poured the both of you some water.

Roberto then proceeded to tell you what was on the menu and you’re immediately overwhelmed by choice.

Roberto gave the both of you a few minutes to look at the menu which you were thankful for.

“I have no idea what to get” You tell Alex as you look through the menu.

“Same honestly” Alex chuckles and after 5 minutes of deliberation you both finally decide.

Roberto came back over not long after and took your order, and Alex ordered a bottle of Malbec for the table to.

You felt so fancy, you hadn’t been to a restaurant like this in a long time. You sort of felt like you were on a date too which you definitely didn’t mind about.

After all, he was your ‘boyfriend’.  

As Roberto took the menus from you, he asked, “So, what are we celebrating today? Anniversary? Birthday?”

“Bit of an early birthday for this one” Alex smiled across from you, you can’t help but grin back.

“Oh lovely. How old, if you don’t mind me asking?” Roberto asks you, taking up your attention again.

You smile at the lovely man, “I’ll be twenty-nine at the end of the month”

“Ah lovely, you look about twenty-one” Roberto jokes.

“You’re too kind” You laugh.

“No just truthful” He grins at you.

“What are you doing with this old man, why can’t you give someone like me a chance, ey?” Roberto asked before gently putting a hand on Alex’s shoulder.

You couldn’t help but laugh at the whole situation. “What can I say? He was just too lovely to not give him a chance”

“Handsome too, no?” Roberto asks you and you watched as the smile grew on Alex’s face.

He was cheekily waiting for your answer with a huge grin and it only got bigger when you said, “Yeah I guess he is”

Alex could see that you were trying not to smile at Roberto’s question. You didn’t even look embarrassed to give him the compliment.

“You better keep her close, my friend. Because I want to steal her from you” Roberto told Alex and the both of you chuckled.

You could feel your cheeks growing hot at what Roberto had said but also at that Alex told him.

“Sorry mate, I’ve gotta keep her all to myself. She’s stunning and she’s too good to me, so I can’t be sharing her” Alex told him with a smile.

When Alex looks back to you though, he sees you grinning at him.

God, he loved seeing you smiling at him. And you looked out of this world. 

Alex wished you were his.

After a few minutes you slip into normal conversation with each other. But Roberto comes back with the bottle of wine that Alex ordered you both and turns the conversation back to the two of you.

As he pours the wine into both of your glasses, he asks you, “So how long has the lovely couple been together?”

You and Alex look at each other for a second not knowing what to say, until something pops into Alex’s head.

“Nine years or so” Alex tells Roberto.

You couldn’t help but silently chuckle at the number. That’s what the article had said about you both.

“Oh wow, that’s wonderful. Together since you were children then?” Roberto asks as he finished pouring the wine.

“We grew up together” Alex tells him and Roberto’s face morphs into one of complete joy.

Roberto’s Italian accent rang out as he said, “That is so sweet”

He chats to you some more before he’s moves along to another table but every time he comes back, he can’t help but make you smile.

You and Alex were flirty quite a lot of the night anyway, but it just got so much more interesting for the both of you when you were called out on it.

Roberto certainly knew how to be an amazing and cheeky host.

“I’m sorry to interrupt but I’ve got to ask you to stop looking at each other with so much love and adoration, because I’m afraid me and a few other customers are getting jealous” Roberto comes and tells you both just before your main course comes.

You can’t help but giggle at his antics. This man was sent from heaven you had no doubt at all.

Roberto tells you both, “You two are actually the cutest pair I’ve seen in a long while”

“You’re both so adorable, I hope me and my wife looked like this at your age” When Roberto told you that, you heart melted instantly.

“How long have you been with your wife?” You can’t help yourself but ask.

Roberto thinks for a year at “It will be fourty-two years in October”

You can’t help but release an ‘Awh’ before you say, “That is the cutest thing ever”

“Yes, she was my high school sweetheart as people over here would say” Roberto tells you both and it makes you want a love story like Roberto’s.

Why did this relationship have to be a fake one? Fucks sake.

“My question for you though my friend, is why haven’t you made her yours yet?” Roberto asks Alex as he picks up your left hand, examining your bare ring finger.

You couldn’t help but feel yourself go hot at the question. Alex seems to keep his cool though and he smiled at Roberto then to you before saying, “I’ve got it planned don’t worry”

“Oh my…” Roberto says with a smile looking down at you.

You smile up a Roberto’s joy and he asks Alex, “Please tell me I haven’t ruined the surprise for tonight?”

Bless the worried man. He was so adorable.

“No, you’re good, don’t worry. I was thinking next year” Alex tells him but looks at you.

You knew he was talking about the pact straight away. It especially just confirmed it when he raised his eyebrows playfully at you.

“Best thing I ever did was getting married” Roberto tells you both. And he makes you go all embarrassed again when he tells you and Alex, “You’ll love it, I assure you… The honeymoon especially”

After Roberto making comments all night about the two of you though, the best definitely came when he cleared your main course plates away.

“I hope you don’t keep each other up too late when you get back home” Roberto grinned at the two of you.

That took Alex back a bit. He didn’t really know what to say without it either being too forward to you or ruining the little charade that you both created.

It seemed like you had other ideas though.

“No promises there” You say with a cheeky smile to the lovely Roberto, before glancing back to Alex.

He looks at you and you can see he’s holding back a smile. You loved his little tells, you knew him so well.

“Lucky man” Roberto clasps Alex on the shoulder before disappearing off.

“Gunna keep me up Y/N?” Alex questions you.

“If you play your cards right Al, you never know” You can’t help the slight smirk that comes onto your face before you take a drink of the red wine.

Alex’s eyes darken a bit at that, and he decides to play your little game a bit more.

“I’ll hold you to that Y/N/N” Alex tells you before leaning forwards the tiniest bit more.

You can’t help but saying, “Hopefully that won’t be the only thing you hold” before taking another sip of your wine.

The way you both stared at each other after that, made you feel like you were the only two people in the busy restaurant.

The intensity between you was like the room was on fire. You loved that you had his attention and he was looking at you like he wanted to take you on the table.

The moment was gone when Roberto came back with a brownie that had a candle in it, and he placed it down in front of you.

He was softly singing happy birthday to you and you couldn’t help but giggle at the lovely cheeky gentleman who was serving you.

You glanced back to Alex who now also had the cheekiest grin on his face as he chuckled and sang along quietly with Roberto. How the fuck did he go from looking at you like you were a meal to him being the cheeky boy you’d always loved?

It wasn’t fair how much of a snack he was.

When Roberto finished singing and you’ve blown out the candle, you couldn’t help but say, “Thank you so much”

“Anything for you Darling” He said before picking up your hand and kissing the top of it.

You couldn’t help but smile at the man who had made your evening 10 times better. “I think you’ve earnt a kiss on the cheek” You tell Roberto and he grins at you.

“Are you sure your man won’t mind?” He cheekily asks you before looking to Alex almost to check if it was safe to do so.

Alex is just smiling, especially when you say, “Don’t worry about him, he can have his own later”

“What a very lucky man” Roberto says as he kisses both of your cheeks.

You can’t help but laugh at his jokes. “Thank you, Roberto”

“Anything for you my dear” He tells you as he wonders off

“I actually love that man so much” You can’t help but grin at Alex, placing a hand over your heart.

“Remember you’re mine tonight” With a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, how could I forget” You grin at him but then you get a whiff of the chocolate treat that lies in front of you.

“You want to share?” You ask moving the candle that lit the table to the side a bit and also moving the roses to the side too.

“Silly question” Alex says grabbing his spoon before sitting forward.

You giggle at his enthusiasm before removing the long candle in the centre of the brownie. You both end up finishing the brownie off in less than two minutes. To be fair to you it wasn’t big, but it was fucking delicious.

After you both finish that off Roberto brings out the actual deserts that you ordered. You actually have to hold back the moan that wants to escape you lips as you eat the warm chocolate fudge cake.

Alex wanted to thank his lucky stars that you were eating that chocolate cake in front of him. The way your eyes rolled and then you shut your eyes as if it was the most pleasurable thing that had ever happened to you made Alex want to try and make you look like that whilst he was doing something just as pleasurable to you.

“This is the nicest thing I’ve ever tasted in my entire life” You take Alex out of his little trance.

“You gunna let me try some?” Alex asked you, once he got his bearings back.

You smile and wipe your face with your napkin, making sure no chocolate was on you. “Only if I can try some of that cheesecake” You tell him.

It looked really nice; You couldn’t even lie.

Alex gets a bit of the cheesecake on his spoon and holds it up to you to eat. You don’t even hesitate to lean forward and eat it from his spoon.

Something that Alex was very thankful for because he got to see your beautiful lips wrap around something, he now wished he could be. And he got to see a little more of your cleavage which was something he definitely wouldn’t be complaining about.

He needed to stop thinking like this. It wasn’t healthy for your friendship.

You lean back once you’ve taken the dessert in your mouth and you love the taste of this one as well. This restaurant completely won with their desserts.

“That’s really nice too, oh my god” You can’t help but groan at the taste.

“I know” Alex smiles at you.

He looks down to your cake and he nods towards it. “Come on now Love, don’t be stingy I want some of that”

You collect some of the gorgeous cake on your spoon and make sure you get some of the melted chocolate on it to before you hold it out for him, like he had done for you.

Alex leans forward and takes it into his mouth and as soon as it touches his tongue, he understood why you had the reaction you did to it. It was lovely.

“Isn’t that the best thing you could ever want to taste?” You ask him.

Alex nods smiling to you but he’s lying to you.

He’d rather have a taste of you.

The rest of the night involves Roberto making you hot and bothered by calling you out even more because once you’re finished you stay and chat for a while.

Roberto comes up and says things to Alex like, “Why haven’t you taken your beauty home yet?” and “Come on you can’t be staying out too late when you have things to be doing when you get home”

You were burning hot each and every time he came back up, but he never failed to make you laugh. He always said he was joking too as if you didn’t both already know.

He was such a cheeky guy; You’d absolutely loved your evening with him waiting on you. And you were certain Alex was enjoying it too because of the cheeky suggestive looks he was giving you every time Roberto left the two of you.

Roberto was literally the wing man of the century.

When you do finally get home after hours of chatting, it wasn’t even that late. Maybe you should start eating earlier because you had so much time to chat afterwards.

But when you get back home, you are reminded why you usually eat later on and not at 6pm.

“Are you hungry? Because I’m fucking starving now” Alex asks as you both walk through the front door of his massive house.

“Oh thank god it’s not just me” You couldn’t help but giggle as you slipped your heels off by the door.  

Alex laughed at your relief and after you hung your leather jacket up, you walked to your man and rested your head on his shoulder.

“I felt so bad because of how expensive it was but I just don’t understand why fancy restaurants feel the need to have tiny portion sizes when you’re paying more money” You say as your hands wrap themselves around his waist, travelling inside his blazer though.

Alex had ended up paying for the meal whilst Roberto was in front of you so you could keep up the charade that was this relationship.

You tried your hardest to make him take the money off you for it in the car on the way home. But Alex point blank told you no and that it actually was for your birthday.

Alex smiles feeling your hands travel inside his blazer, obviously wanting a hug.

He wraps his arms around your waist and tells you, “You pay for the experience at a restaurant and half the time it’s usually shit”

“Well it wasn’t shit tonight… I had so much fun” You tell him without hesitating at all, as you pick your head up to look at him.

“Yeah?” Alex questions.

You nod with a big smile on your lips, “Yeah course I did… Every night with you is fun Alex”

“It’s a shame every night’s just moderately okay with you then, isn’t it?” Alex tells you cheekily.

“You cheeky bitch” You can’t help but laugh at the giant grin on his face, giving his lie away.

“You know you love me” You say as you make your way through the kitchen and into the lounge, not forgetting the wine glasses on the way.

You and Alex only had the one glass at the actual restaurant because Alex was driving you both home and you didn’t want to drink loads if he wasn’t. So, you both decided to save the majority for back here.

“I guess you’re alright” Alex says as he takes off his blazer.

“Alexxx” You whine but laugh, and he can’t help but chuckle too.

“I’m joking. I’m joking” Alex chuckles as you both collapse into your spots next to each other on the settee and finish off the bottle of wine.

~*~*~*~

The following morning, Matt and Breana came around, they said to make up for missing last night. You all had a mini pool party which was so fun.

You and Breana had a nice catch up, even though you’d seen her the day after you landed, and you both relaxed by the poolside too. The lads kept themselves entertained by throwing themselves into the pool and you even helped Alex out when he kept Matt’s attention and you pushed him in.

After their pool antics, Alex got tired pretty quickly after a full morning of messing around. At around 1:30pm both you and Breana sent him upstairs as he was literally asleep on the settee.

Your morning in the pool quickly turned into a lazy one when you all headed inside now fully clothed. You wore some light blue denim jean shorts with a white vest top tucked into it and Alex wore some blue jeans and a dark grey crewneck top.

He was however, crumpling the top as he lay asleep after half an hour of chatting.

In no way could he have been comfortable, so you both just said he may as well just go and have a proper nap upstairs. He didn’t argue with either of you, he just made sure you were alright staying downstairs.

“You gunna be alright?” Alex asked as he got up from the sofa.

“Alex. I’m twenty-eight, I’ve not lived with my mum for six years and Matt and Bre are here. I can take care of myself” You tell him with a smile.

“Just go to bed” You instruct as you point towards the stairs.

“Okay. I’ll see you two soon, I’m sure” Alex gives a little wave to Matt and Breana as he climbs the stairs.

“Night Al” Breana calls after him, and you all have a little chuckle when he calls back down the stairs.

“Goodnight” He yells.

Matt and Breana stay for another hour until they have to go out to one of Breana’s friend’s houses. You didn’t ask as you didn’t want to pry, but you could see on Matt’s face that he didn’t really want to go.

You had no doubt that he’d much rather stay with you and Alex the whole day, but the things people do for the ones they love, ey? You knew that by the time he got home he’d be having withdrawal symptoms from Alex.

After about half an hour of you sitting reading outside you were bored. You couldn’t have a jam to the music because you didn’t want to wake Alex up with it.

It was too early to cook anything, and you didn’t feel like going swimming in the pool again. Well not alone anyway.

You also couldn’t call anyone back home because of the time difference. It was an awful ordeal that just left you alone over here. And you definitely weren’t calling Miles.

And in truth you were missing Alex’s company. Never mind Matt having withdrawal symptoms, you were just as bad if not worse.

So, after another 5 minutes you thought you’d go and wake him up because you knew he wouldn’t mind. He wouldn’t sleep tonight if you didn’t wake him up anyway.

You walked into his room slowly to see that the blinds had been half drawn so the room was dim enough to be able to sleep in. As you got closer to him you called, “Boyfriend”

You heard Alex let out a long, tired sigh which informed you that he was at least half awake. You got closer to his bed and noted that he had stripped off his top and you could see his muscles resting above the covers.

His jeans had also been discarded on the floor which led you to believe he was just in his underwear.

“Come on boyfriend. I want some attention” You said as you reached the end of his bed.

“I wanna sleep” Alex groaned.

“And I want my boyfriend to keep me entertained but he’s always in bed” You joke with him.

“Jump in and I’ll keep you very entertained” Alex said in a low husky voice that made you gulp.

You thought you’d test this little game he seemed like he wanted to play. So when he turned and lay on his back to look at you, you climbed onto his bed on your knees.

You crawled up over his body which caused Alex’s eyes to open fully and watch your movements. You rest yourself down on top of him and your head was about half a foot away from his before you rested your chin down on his chest.

You smiled at him and said, “This where you want me?”

Alex chuckled before shaking his head, “Under the covers would be better”

You chuckle at that before picking yourself up off him and getting yourself under the covers next to him. You pull the covers up to your shoulders so you can keep the warmth that you’ve found from being under there.

“Awh, my girl, all snuggled up in bed. Wanna cuddle and nap with me?” Alex grinned at you curled up facing him.

“I wanted my man to get up and come outside with me” You say hopefully but his bed was rather comfy, you didn’t mind staying.

“This is definitely more fun than outside Y/N/N. Roll over” He instructs.

“Yes boss” You chuckle doing as you told, so your backs now facing him, and you feel him moving behind you.

“Get yourself comfy” Alex instructs you and you do.

You take a pillow from underneath you head and bring it to your side and hug it against you.

“Okay” You hum.

The next thing you feel is your hair being moved to the side and Alex’s arm wrap around your waist. His chest then presses against your back and he nuzzles his head into the back of your neck.

You can feel your heart beating rapidly in your chest at this. You’d never wanted to be somewhere more in your life, but you were nervous despite knowing everything was fine.

You felt Alex release a sigh onto the back of your neck which caused a little shiver to run down your spine. Alex seemed to take notice of it as he said to you “Relax Y/N/N. I won’t bite you unless you want me to”

You lowly chuckled at his joke and you took a deep breath before letting your body relax.

As you do you joke, “I knew you had a thing for biting” which made Alex laugh against your skin.

You smile as you hugged the pillow slightly closer to you as you lent back into Alex a bit.

This action made Alex smile. He liked the feeling of you pressing yourself against him, so he hugged you the tiniest bit tighter.

“Would I be expecting this a lot next year?” You ask him.

You feel him hum against your neck and slightly nod, “Every day we’re home”

“And we’d just pass the time in bed?” You question trying not to smile.

“Yeah that’s how I’d see our days going” Alex tells you.

“How do you picture it Al?” You ask him curiously.

He hums for a second before he starts making up the story, “I recon we’d wake up and doze about in here for a bit because we both don’t like waking up, and then you’d go for your shower, I’d go and make us bacon butties for breakfast…”

You can’t help but smile as he carries on, “Then we’d be lazy for the morning and catch up on last night TV from back home downstairs with a cuppa tea. And then when I got tired, at like three, I’d come back up here and you’d listen to your music for a while until you’d come and bother me”

“Like right now?” You smile, enjoying the feeling of him talking almost right down your ear and him being so close.

Alex smiled again your skin, “Exactly like now. Then you’d come to bed again and we’d nap till 6ish because we both don’t get hungry till later anyway”

He paused for a second obviously thinking for more ways to fill out your imaginary days.

He continues with, “Then I’d go and have my shower and, depending on the day, one of us would make tea and we’d eat it on our knee as we watched a film… because lets me honest we’d only eat the Sunday Roast you make at the table because we’re lazy fuckers and just wanna be comfy all the time”

You chuckle at that completely agreeing with him. You loved how he’d planned your days together even though you could tell he was making it up on the spot you loved everything you were hearing.

“Then after the film we would stick some shit TV on from over here or back home… Or we’d watch a new series and we’d cuddle on the settee until one of us falls asleep and the other would have to drag us back up here.” Alex explained and you let out an amused hum at the last part.

“But when we get into bed, we’d of found a bit more energy and we just lie down chatting like this until we both went to sleep and the process repeated itself the next day” Alex finishes off.

It’s no fucking wonder he was so good at writing songs if he could just make up scenarios as quickly as he had done then. He astounded you.

“I like the sound of that” You hummed and lent back into him a bit more.

You felt Alex smile against your skin, “Yeah?”

You nodded against your pillow “Yeah... but you left some details out boyfriend”

A chuckled escaped Alex’s lips at the nickname again.

“Like what girlfriend?” Alex smirked against your skin at the nicknames that had stuck the past few days.

“You forgot about the sex” You said.

Your voice sounding more tired than you were before, but Alex was now slightly more awake hearing that word fall from your lips.

Alex cleared his throat before saying, “Don’t worry we’d definitely find the time for that”

“Don’t worry that’s all scheduled in my brain now. I know exactly where it’s going” You smile to yourself.

“Wanna enlighten me?” Alex said against your skin and you loved the feeling despite it being perfectly innocent.

Alex feels you nod your head before you start to tell him your new schedule. “Well because we’re not going to be boring bastards when we get to thirty, we’re going to be having sex at least twice a day” You can’t help but grin.

You tease though and say, “If you can handle that Turner?”

Alex chuckles against your skin and this time he nods “That’s very okay with me”

“Good… So, the first time would be in the morning. Just after we’ve woken up so we start the day off in a good mood... But in the morning, it’s slow. We’re both still tired but it still feels amazing because it’s not rushed and we’re taking our time because we’ve got nowhere else to be” You explain to Alex and you had to stop yourself from imagining it.  

Alex wanted to do what your describing right now. He didn’t want to wait a year for this.

Everything you were saying was something he wanted to do now and as you carried on, it just confirmed it in his mind.

“Then afterwards, like you said, is when I’d have my shower… But you wouldn’t join me because you’d know we’d be having sex again later and you’re too lazy to have two showers a day when you could be doing something else” You explained, and Alex chuckled. You knew him too well.

“Then like you said we would have a lazy morning, until you’d get tired again and come back to bed. And when I got bored of being by myself because my boyfriend’s once again left me alone…” You throw in the nickname again as a joke and you feel him smile again.

“I’d come and find you in here… And then I think I’d try and make you have sex with me again, but you’d have none of it and make me fall asleep next to you. I don’t even think sex would bring you out of that drowsy nap state that you get into” You tell him with a laugh and Alex chuckles even though you were wrong.

You, of all people, asking him for sex was something he’d never turn down. No matter the time of day, or if he was tired of not.

“So then when we both woke up again, I’m guessing you’d remember what I was promising you could do to me if you woke up earlier on and that’s when we go a bit crazy… That’s when we’re both like animals and we fuck each other senseless. Kinks and all… and I’d even put my knee socks on for you if you wanted me to” You could help but throw the knee socks in there for him.

‘Fuck’ Alex thought. He didn’t need that thought in his head when you were extremely close to him and you were both about to go to sleep.

“That sound okay so far?” You asked him and you felt and heard a low hum emit from him.

Alex was down for anything you would ever suggest about sex. He really had to stop himself from getting excited about the thought of it.  

“Good” You grin to yourself before you continue. Alex wanted to groan though. It was torture to him.

“So then after that you go for your shower, and depending if I could move or not after, I’ll come with you and maybe we get up to some more dirty things in the shower…” And then you feel the need to tease him a bit, despite you becoming tired.

“Maybe you’d fuck me against the wall, or you’d have me on my knees… I don’t know, something you’d enjoy for your shower” You say getting far to invested in this imaginary day.

Alex was now fighting to keep his breathing even. His heartbeat had accelerated at the mere thought of having sex with you, but you describing everything to him was sending him over the edge.

“And then like you said we could make dinner… And despite the days I would sit with you and watch you make the food and we’d chat about everything and nothing as we did that. And once we’d eaten, the cuddling would definitely happen whilst watching a film” You smile but then you grin as you continue

“But you know, if a sex scene came on… we both have the same mind, so if we weren’t tired, we would definitely shag each other until we were knackered” You chuckle.

“And then we’d come back to bed and wait the matter of hours until we could repeat it all over again” You finish telling him.

Alex cleared his throat before saying, “I like the sound of all of that Y/N/N”

“Me too” You grin silently freaking out that he was on board with everything.

“When are you thirty again?” Alex asked you and you giggled.

“In about three hundred and eighty days” You estimate.

Your birthday was a few days after you were due home from here. And if you were honest, you just wished it was next year already.

And it seemed you weren’t the only one.

“Do you wanna change the pact to you being twenty-nine?” Alex asks you.

You chuckled at that, “That wouldn’t be very fair on you Al”

“Why’s that?” Alex pried. He wanted to know exactly what you were thinking.

You started to yawn as you said, “You could get with another model or a singer in that time. You don’t wanna be stuck with me unless you have to”

“I think by the sound of it, I’ll happily be stuck with you when the time comes” Alex told you and he was being genuinely serious.

After what you just told him it just confirmed that he wanted you more than ever. Even if he didn’t have the balls to ask you out this time, he would damn well make sure he stayed single until your thirtieth. And he would pray that you stayed single too.

“You’re adorable Al” You say, and Alex can hear the sleepiness creep into your voice.

“So, twenty-nine then?” He asks against your skin hopefully.

You giggled before reiterating, “Thirty”

Then you properly yawned into the pillow you still hugged and tried to fall asleep.

He prolonged your tiredness though by asking, “Can we do it when I turn thirty instead?”

You laugh at that. You grin to yourself before saying, “Tell you what, we can have a practice on your birthday, if you want?”

“God yes” Alex said a bit too enthusiastically.

But you both laughed it off before you started settling again.

Alex found that you fell asleep in his arms relatively quickly after that. Your breathing slowed and you fully relaxed into his embrace.

He loved the feeling of you being against him and he tried to remember every detail about it before he fell back to sleep. Alex had no idea how long you’d both been asleep when you woke him up by moving yourself into a different position.

All Alex knew was that he was tired and wanted more sleep with you against him. And thankfully it seemed like you weren’t going anywhere.

You were trying to turn yourself over and you felt Alex pick his arm up that was around your waist which helped a lot. You twisted yourself round so you were facing him before you snuggled yourself against him again.

You felt Alex’s arm go back around you and you felt him move his other arm out so you could use it as a sort of pillow. You also absentmindedly made him tangle his legs with yours, so you were comfortably cuddled facing each other.

You head was now buried in Alex’s neck and he could feel your cool breath against him before you let out a small satisfied hum about your new position. The noise made Alex smile and he lent down a bit to kiss you on the top of your head.

You smiled at that not being fully asleep again yet, so you pressed you own kiss against his neck before you snuggled yourself into him again and tried to return back to sleep. Your action caused Alex to hug you tighter to him and he fell asleep again with a smile on his face.

Neither of you knew what time it was when Alex’s phone started ringing and neither of you wanted to move. You snuggled yourself tighter into Alex’s body to try and escape the sound of it. You felt him pull you tighter against him, as if it would shield you both from the noise.

Thankfully the phone stopped after a minute and you both tried to settle back to sleep, until it went off again. At that Alex groaned and started muttering profanities under his breath as he rolled himself onto his back.

That subsequently meant that you were now using his chest as a pillow and you let your arm rest on him as well.

“Hello” Alex answered groggily but it was easily the best hello you’d ever heard.

“Sorry, you’ve woke me up mate” Alex said after he cleared his throat with a small cough. You couldn’t hear who was on the other end of the phone, so you just focused on Alex’s replies.

“Yeah... Yeah we can do. What time do you want us?” He asked.

“What time is it now? Seven, right okay well see you in an hour then”

“Cya” Alex said before hanging up the phone and throwing it down the bed.

He lay his arm over yours that rested across his chest before he rubbed his thumb across it soothingly.

“Where’ve we gotta be?” You asked Alex with your eyes still closed. The tiredness could still be heard in your voice.

Alex let out a sigh and told you, “Matthew wants us round for a barbecue at eight. I only said yes because I can tell neither of us wants to cook anything tonight”

You smiled but said, “More like it’s your day and you don’t wanna cook”

Alex sleepily chuckled at that, “You got me”

You both dozed again for another 5 minutes until Alex let out a low groan which was again one of the best things you’d ever heard.

“I guess I’d better shower” He sighed.

You hummed in response to him but kept your eyes closed. You reluctantly moved yourself off him and let him escape as you stayed lay down.

You told him, “I’m gunna have another fifteen minutes here before I go get ready”

You heard Alex chuckle as he sat up and got himself off the bed after rubbing his face to wake him up a bit.

“You gunna join me, or did I wear you out?” Alex asked referring to the imaginary sex that you were planning to have after your naps in the future.

You giggle and open your eyes to look at him. He looked great with his hair smattered about in different direction, clearly fresh out of bed with grey boxers also low on his hips.

“Consider me fucked... I need my sleep Turner. You wear me out” You smile up at him.

“Did I do a good job?” He asked you with a hint of a smirk on his lips.

You chuckle closing your eyes again before saying, “Oh yeah. I wanna go again you were that good”

“Come in the shower and we can” Alex said after he stretched. You look at him with humour clear on your features as you reply to him.

“Alex if I do we would never make it to Matt’s, which would mean he’d come here to complain and he’d interrupt us” You tell him as you pull the covers back up and you hug the pillow that Alex was lay on.

“I hate that your right” Alex groaned.

“Go shower boyfriend” You hurry him with a smile because you wanna try and get back to sleep.

“My girlfriends moody when sleepy. Noted” Alex smiles looking at you lay in his bed. .

“Cheeky bitch” You murmur into the pillow and Alex laughs as he disappears into the bathroom.

Later you were woken up by Alex calling your name. Which you weren’t best pleased about.

“Y/N” You hear him call.

“Alex” You groan back.

After a second he shouts again “Y/N”

“Alex let me sleep” You complain not wanting to wake up.

Alex asks you, “I forgot a towel. You wanna get me the one from my wardrobe?”

“Alex it’s a walk-in wardrobe, get yourself one. I’m trying to sleep” You tell him. This man had more house than he needed. It was practically half empty it was that big his wardrobe.

“Oh yeah so you can perv on me” He says.

You throw the covers over your head and joke, “You’re safe from my pervy ways”

You hear the bathroom door open and Alex feet patting across the floor. And you have a funny thought as you hear him disappear off into his wardrobe.

You shout after him, “You know Alex, maybe I should just look? If I’m gunna see you like that anyway”

“If you get a free look. That means I get a free look” He shouts back, and you can hear the chuckle in his voice.

“Absolute not. I’ve got another year to hit the gym before you get me naked Alex” You grin to yourself.

Alex then pulls the cover off your head and you open your eyes to see that he’s in a pair of black boxers this time. You try not to let yourself look there though.

He looks down at you with his wet hair and says, “I’ve seen you in a bikini, there’s not that much difference… And do you really think I judge people on their looks?”

You furrow your eyebrows but keep the smile on your lips, “Erm, from the last two stunners you’ve publicly been out with… Yeah Alex, I think you do”

“Well I don’t… But you’re just as gorgeous as them anyway so shut up” He practically told you off.

“Lies” You call bullshit.

Both Alexa and Arielle were stunning, still are. You could never compare to either of them. You weren’t famous, you were just some girl from High Green who had a semi decent job behind her.

Alex frowned at you. “I’m not lying” He tells you in a stern voice.

“Your equally as sexy as them if not more so” He flirts, and he gives you them eyes again.

“Ooo Al, you should just have your way with me now then” You say sarcastically not believing a word.

“I mean if you want me to” Alex said before quickly getting on the bed, positioning himself between your legs. He hovered a few inches above you and you laughed at his actions.

Alex smiles down at you, you looked so cute giggling beneath him. And you still looked cute when you started scorning him because the water from his hair started dripping onto your face.

“Alex” You pouted wiping the water from your face.

Alex chuckled down at you before shaking his head and it got all over you. You wiped your face again as Alex laughed and then before he could do it again you brought your hands up and ran your fingers through his wet hair to try and comb it back.

You kept your hands in his hair so he couldn’t get you again and you giggled.

“Can you stop?” You pleaded.

Alex then shook his head before using one arm to remove your hands from his hair and pinning them above you whilst he got you with his hair again.

Alex shook his head and you watched as his hair fall back down and when it did, he let it run over your face. You giggled scrunching your face up and you smiled to yourself when your noses kept brushing as he did it.

“You’re so fucking annoying” You laugh as you get free of his grip.

You were both giggling for a good few seconds before you again wipe your face dry then you run your fingers through his hair to stop it dangling down onto your face. You look up unto his pretty brown eyes that are full of amusement and giggle.

“When do we have to leave?” You ask. Your eyes roaming his face.

He was so fucking perfect with his high cheekbones, the fucking incredible jawline and how flawless his skin was now.

“Soon. I had a longer shower so you could sleep in peace” He tells you still staying close. His eyes looking around your features to as he noted you studying his.

“Such a gentleman” You smile meeting his eyes again.

Alex grinned down at you partly because you were adorable and partly because he could feel you playing with the back of his hair.

“Always” Alex says.

After a second of silence as you both grin at each other, Alex does something that shocks you both a little bit.

“Come on” Alex says before leaning down and pecking your lips before he carries on saying, “We need to get ready”

Alex then got up off of you and you sat yourself up as well. The kiss was a surprise to you, but definitely a good one.

As you got out of bed you tried to hide the smile from your face, but you were failing miserably. So, you elected to scurry out to your own room so you could silently scream and get yourself ready to go to Matt’s.

Alex on the other hand, wanted to lock himself in his room and never see the light of day again. Why had he done that? Why did he kiss you? You weren’t his to kiss like that, and he’s definitely made things awkward with the way you quickly walked out of his room.

And his night didn’t get any better when he got to Matt’s.

You were being odd with him. Every time your eyes would meet, you’d look away within the first second and he couldn’t hold your gaze like he usually could.

At Matt’s you found yourself fighting a blush every time Alex did anything.

When he spoke, you’d act like a schoolgirl in love and go all shy on him. When you glanced at each other, you looked away because you didn’t want your feelings to be horrendously obvious.

All you wanted to do was grin like a teenager who’d gotten her first kiss.

You played with the hem of your ripped shorts and pulled at the lace that was coming loose as Alex chatted to you all. That was until the conversation took up the whole of your attention and Matt was making jokes which made you laugh.

Thankfully Matt and Breana didn’t notice anything up between the two of you and to both of your moods weren’t called out. You weren’t purposely being shy, and Alex wasn’t purposefully getting agitated.

Alex just wanted a second alone with you to apologise and hopefully then you would both go back to normal. But the chance didn’t present itself easily.

Breana was either showing you something new on her phone or Matt was chatting to you about old times back home. It was a nice enough evening together with your friends, but Alex could feel tension that didn’t sit right with him.

Alex only got his chance when Breana asked Matt to help her find something inside their house. You’d all been outside all night as it was still quite warm out despite the sun disappearing.

You watched as Matt headed inside the extravagant house after hearing her shout out of the window for him to come upstairs. You smiled as he faked a yawn as he went inside, and you got yourself up.

You looked down towards your empty glass on the table and noticed Alex’s was empty too. Without looking at him you nodded towards the glass before asking, “Do you want another one?”

Alex, however, didn’t reply to your question.

He stood himself up and moved towards you which made you jump because the movement was so fast, and you held his gaze properly for the first time since you got to Matt’s.

Alex stood infant of you and said, “Y/N/N, about before…”

“Al” You try and make him stop.

But he carries on, “I just wanted to say I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-“

You interrupt him, “Alex you’re fine”

“No, it’s not, I shouldn’t hav-“

“Alex” You stop him once again. You both look at each other and there is a second of silence between you.

“It’s fine” You tell him before you lean up and peck his lips to make it even.

“It’s okay” You reiterate with wide eyes almost pleading for him to understand that his action really was okay. More than okay.

“It’s okay?” Alex asked you with a confused look. You don’t know if it was confusion from the kiss or the fact that you were saying you didn’t care that he’d initially done it

You nodded your head with a smile before you lent up and kissed his lips again. A little bit longer than the last one but not by much.

You and Alex looked at each other for a moment before Matt startled you by shouting from an upstairs window that you couldn’t see. You glanced up to see if you could see him, but he wasn’t in your eyesight.

“Y/N, Bre wants you up here” Matt’s voice shouted down to you.

“Coming” You shout back to him. You look back to Alex and smile before stepping around him and heading inside.

That night when you got back to Alex’s place it was pretty late and you both pretty much went straight to your own beds. You got into your pyjamas that again consisted of an extremely oversized top and a pair of pyjama shorts.

You were once again struggling to fall asleep because of the temperature so you discarded your duvet and used the blanket that you’d claimed as your own instead. Then you found yourself unable to get comfy which was just your luck.

You’d had such a good day, why did your inability to sleep have to go and ruin it?

It wasn’t even like you weren’t even tired, you really were, but sleep just wouldn’t find you. So, you tried to distract yourself by going on your phone for a bit.

Even that didn’t seem to be working for you, so when you heard a quiet knock on your open door you welcomed the distraction. You saw Alex at the doorway and the little light that your room gave out shone on Alex in a lovely way.

He walked his way over to you and you smiled at him as he reached your bed.

“Can’t sleep?” He asked you.

You shook your head and sadly smiled, “How could you tell?”

“I saw that you were tweeting away” Alex said before pulling your blanket up and shuffling himself underneath it to join you.

You smiled at his actions and he murmured “Come on same position as before”

You complied immediately and twisted yourself, so your back was once again towards him.

As he moved your hair so it wouldn’t be in his face, you asked him, “Are you ever going to tell me about this twitter account?”

“Secret accounts for a reason Y/N. No one knows it’s me then” He tells you before he hugs you to him once again today and he nuzzles his nose into the back of your neck.

“Gotta keep my eye on you somehow” Alex says against your top.

“You like keeping your eyes on me Alex?” You play a little.  

“Occasionally” He tells you before he hugs you too him again. This time a little tighter.

“Now come on sleep time” He announces.

You tell him, “I’m just gunna keep you up, you don’t wanna be in here with me”

“Well I’m not moving again now so let’s just try” Alex says softly, and you do as he says.

You lent yourself back into his chest a bit more and you let out a soft sigh. Your bodies slotted comfortably together, and you found that he was extremely cosy to cuddle up into.

“How are you always so warm?” You ask him, enjoying the heat that was radiating off him. You felt at just the right temperature now.  

Alex tells you, “It’s a talent”

“My man’s very talented then” You smile to yourself, closing your eyes

“Well, you said it” He says sleepily.

You focused yourself on Alex’s breathing and tried to match your own with his. This process seemed to get you tried but at the same time you also found that you wanted to change position.

“Al” You say softly not wanting to startle him.

You hear him hum behind you and you carry on to say, “I need to move”

You feel him pick his arm up slightly from around your waist and he lets you swivel around. You knew that within a few minutes of changing into the new position you would be asleep. And you were happy that you would finally be getting some rest.

You turn yourself around so you’re on your side facing him now, much like you were before. You hook your leg around his again so you can be comfortably lay together again and Alex doesn’t seem to mind.

Your faces weren’t that far apart now either, you could feel his cool breath running over your face as you were sharing a pillow now. Even that was beyond you though because you literally had 4 pillows on the bed with you.

You tilted your head down slightly so you wouldn’t be breathing in his face, but you were still only an inch or two apart.

You settle against his body again. His arm around you still but this time he hugged you toward him, so your abdomens were pressed together and you weren’t complaining because he was so warm. You loved it.

You felt yourself slowly start slipping back to sleep and you tiredly decided you wanted to thank him again.

You drew a bit closer to him and tilted your head up so your nose brushed with his for a brief second. You smiled to yourself and said, “Thanks Al”

You kept your eyes closed but you heard him say, “What for?”

“Helping me sleep” You tell him.

Alex hummed happily at that before he nudged your nose back down with his and he said “You’re welcome”

You smiled at that before you leant closer and sleepily kissed him.

It was an innocent enough gesture. One that was just simply a ‘thank you’.

Alex seemed to move his lips with yours and you both kissed again before you rested your head back onto the pillow.

And that night, both you and Alex drifted to sleep with a smile on your lips.

Having A Crush On The Savior Of Humanity

Okay so I can’t not do read more on my phone or my tablet so don’t come at me.... and please do not correct my spelling and shit I can’t catch everything this is also on Wattpad. This is a Murphy x oc but if you’d like to use your name and what you look like please feel free to do so... thank you for reading. I have more chapters if you’d like to read more please let me know and I’ll post them I have up to chapter 38 done

Chapter 1

  Running that's all we did it was all about survival. We were in a damn zombie apocalypse. You had slow zombies, fast zombies, zombies that seemed to have super speed, zombie animals and there were also different blends of zombies depending on how the died and where they were when they died it was crazy and chaotic.

   Hi, I'm Nik I was twenty-three when the world went to shit and zombies took over and my little brother Tommy or as he liked to be called 10k, he says that's how many zombies he's going to kill than his name will be Jeff he was seventeen. We were out with our dad when everything happened. We traveled for a while but then our dad got bit and turned and Tommy had to put him down. He changed after that he wasn't the scared nerdy loner kid anymore. Me, on the other hand, had always been hardheaded, strong, independent. I was overly opinionated, could never keep my mouth shut, I was sarcastic, a smartass got in trouble as a teenager. I learned how to use guns, knives, bows, how to survive out in the wild at a young age the same as Tommy. As soon as I could I left and traveled around. I drank, I smoked, I had lots of sex, got high on the occasion. My dad never approved of anything I did. But after being gone for five years I came home for Tommy. The world ended and zombies took over shortly after.

  After Tommy and I were alone for a year and survived black summer we ran into a group of people at a school, helping them out with the Zs from afar.  When they were leaving they stopped and an older man with white medium long hair and a ling white beard asked us to join them so we did. There was Warren who was in the National Gaurd, Garnett was also in the forces, Doc the man who asked us to join them, Addy and Mack who were a couple, Cassandra was a girl they found in a cage, Citizen Z who was at the North pole at northern light and then, then there is Murphy. Murphy had been a bit eight times and survived. Why? Well because he was given an experimental Vaccine. He had special antibodies in his blood and needed to be taken to California to the CDC. That was our job, keep him safe and get him across the now wasteland of a country filled with zombies.....alive.

  But let me tell you what, it was not easy getting there it took three years just to get to California. Why? You may ask. Well, Murphy was not by any means an easy person to get along with. He was a sarcastic ass, selfish, only cared about himself, thought he deserved to be treated like a king. He kept running off and people kept trying to kidnap him for themselves or someone who was offering them something big. He got on every last nerve of mine and if it wasn't for the fact that he could be the answer to a vaccine to end all this end of the world shit I probably would have killed him. But let me backtrack and take you through our little journey. Starting at the beginning of when we met the group. And how we ended up becoming Operation Bite Mark for Citizen Z.

 

It's been a year since the world got overrun by zombies. I and my little brother Tom.... sorry 10k were walking up on the hill by the high school when we noticed a black truck pull in. Seven people filed out of the truck and looked to be making up a plan on what to do. While three of them went one way the others stayed near the truck.  They were fighting off the zombies when I noticed an older man with white hair and a white beard struggling with a zombie. "10k," I said and nodded towards the man. He understood and brought his sniper rifle up and took the shot. He, of course, got his mark perfectly as always. He was always a better shot than I was.

   My weapon if the choice was a custom bat I had made way before the apocalypse happened. It was stainless steel with spikes long enough to reach the brain all up and down it. It was red with a black handle. I was always really into zombie movies and figured I'd have a costume bat made just for the hell of it. Never thought I'd actually put it to use in a real zombie apocalypse. I also had a machete, bowie knife, and my 9mm semi-automatic pistol with extra magazines all in my belt. 10k had weapons hid everywhere. The man had looked up and spotted us and then turned to fight off more zombies. 10k helped them out taking down any that got to close.

  After all the zombies close by were mercied me and 10k started walking. After fifteen minutes down the road, a familiar black truck pulled up beside us. The older man with white hair popped his head out of the back window "Hey, hey there. You're that sharpshooter that saved my ass, aren't you?" The man said. 10k just looked at him. "He is, yes," I told the guy. "Oh man. I want to thank you," he said. "It's no problem," I told him. "Do you need a ride?" He asked. I looked over at 10k and he shrugged his shoulders and nodded. "Yeah, thanks that would be great," I said. 10k got in the back and the man got out and I got in the back with him and another guy.

   "I'm Doc," the man said. "Nik," I told him. "This here is Warren and Garnett, in the back is Addy, Mack, and Cassandra and this here is Murphy," Doc said. "It's nice to meet you Nik. Thanks for saving Doc," Warren said. "Oh, that was actually my brother. He's an amazing sniper always hits his mark," I said. "So where are you guys headed?" Warren asked. "Um.. nowhere really. We just keep moving," I told her. "Well, you can come with us. We're going to California," Doc said. "California? Why there?" I asked. "Murphy here is our cure for the zombie apocalypse," Doc told me.

   I looked at Murphy "That So? And how so?" I asked. "He was bit eight times and survived," Doc said. My eyes widened and I looked at Murphy, my mouth hung open. "Don't look so surprised princess," Murphy said. "One doesn't call me princess and two it's hard to believe someone could be a bit eight times and survive," I said. "Well you're looking at the one and only princess," he said. "Call me princess again and I'll kick your ass zombie boy," I said. Just as he was going to say something we started speeding up and ran over zombie after zombie.

  Eventually, we pulled over because we were running out of gas. "Out of gas," Garnett said. We got out and stood on the side of the road. "Hey Warren we got a problem," Doc said. There was a zombie stuck up under the wheel and axle.  "That explains the pull to the left," Doc said. "What you waiting for? Kill it! Kill it!" Murphy yelled and walked away. I walked over to Murphy and stood beside him. I had to admit he was sexy probably twice my age but I always liked older men. I stood there twirling my bat in my hand. "What do you want?" He said. "Nothing just thought you looked lonely zombie boy," I said. "I'm not a zombie," he growled. "That you know of," I replied. That's when we heard motorcycles coming up the road and I noticed Cassandra turn away to hide. As they went by they looked us down "that's right to keep rolling and we all live to see another day," Warren said.

We stood on the road looking down at New York City. "Even after all this, it's still beautiful," Warren said. We turned around and headed down the road to an old junkyard and started going through the cars for gas but there was not a drop in any of them. "All these cars and there's not a drop of gas," I said.

Addy pulled put a cam and started recording. "What ? you on vacation?" Murphy said. "Someone has to record," she said. "You know we're probably the last generation of humans on Earth," he said. "To us, it's the apocalypse, to her it's the memories,"  Mack said. Murphy scuffed and rolled his eyes. "Would it hurt the antibodies if I kicked him the nuts?" Addy asked. "We could find out," I said.

  Doc laughed and looked at 10k. "So kids what's your name?" He said. "Ten thousand," he said. "That's bot a name. That's a number," Doc said. "It's my name. I made it up myself," he said. "Well supposed you have to. Does it mean anything," Doc asked. "That's how many zombies I'm going to Kill. Already on 1,055," 10k said. " damn so what happens when you get to 1o,ooo?" Doc said. "Change my name," "to what? Twenty thousand?" Doc asked and I snorted. 10k looked at me with a bitch face and looked at doc "Jeff. I like the name Jeff," he said. "I like your real name but okay little brother," I said and walked off.

    I found Murphy and walked up to him "I don't think you should be alone," I said. "I'm not alone Warren is over there," he said. "Do you even know how to take a Z down?" I said. "Don't need to. I have all of you," he said. "You sure about that?" I said walking closer to him so we were only a few inches away from each other. He is at least a foot taller than I am and I'm only 5'4. I looked up at him and smirked. "Would be threatening my short stack," he said. "Oh you really don't want to make it to California do you," I said look into his blue eyes. He looked back into my own blue eyes and stepped closer. "Now you wouldn't want to kill the only hope for the human race would you princess?" He said. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to my level. "I told you not to call me princess," I said.

  We stared each other down when 10k stepped up beside us "You're not going to kiss him, are you? You don't know where it's been," he said. Doc, Mack, and Addy started laughing. Murphy grabbed my wrist and I let go of his shirt. We started walking back to Warren and I noticed a new guy one of the guys that passed us on the road. "He knows where we can get gas," Warren said. With that, we walked back to the truck and I was stuck in the middle of Doc and Murphy. I purposely say a little closer to Murphy just to annoy him and because it's how I was with guys I found sexually attractive. "Do you mind," he said in my ear. "Do I mind what?" I said. "Getting out of my personal space," he said. "I'm sorry Murphy but there's not much room," I said and he groaned.

  We had arrived at a refinery that was crawling with Zs.  "This place is full of Zs," I said. We got out and Warren went over the plan and gave everyone jobs. "Nik, Doc stay here with Murphy," she said. 'Yeah sure," I said. "Hey, I'm going to go up high and keep an eye out," 10k said to me. "Alright, be careful do you understand me?" I said. "Yes, Nik I'll be fine," he said and walked off. Doc, Murphy and I all got back into the truck and doc and Murphy played go fish. "Eights?" Doc said. "Go fish," Murphy told him. "You cheated! At fucking go fish!" I said. "That's life princess," he said. Before I could say anything a few Zs started banging on the Windows. Doc got out to try and drawl them away and Murphy started freaking out. I climbed into the passenger seat.  "Murphy! Calm down!" I said. He wouldn't stop and got in the driver's side and took off. "Murphy! Look out!" I yelled but it was too late and he ran into a pole.

  "Fuck!" I yelled after hitting my head on the dash. I put my hand up to my forehead only to bring it down to see blood. "Great! Now I'm bleeding because you freaked out over a couple of Zs!" I yelled at him. Doc came running over and opened the passenger side door. "Nik! Are you okay?" He said. "Oh I'm fine don't worry," Murphy said. "Shut the fuck up before you become zombie food again!" I growled. Warren and Garnett ran over and Doc helped me out if the car. "We have to get out of here that tanker is going to blow," Garnett said. We all piled into the black truck "wait where's 10k?!" I asked. Before anyone could answer he jumped in the back and we took off.

6! 10! 15! 18!

Yay, more! ;) Thanks so much, hon! :D *hugs*

6. If you’re really concentrating, how many words can you write in a day?

My best day came from about 5 years ago during NaNo, where I wrote allllllmost 10k words in one day! O_O That’s rare, though.

10. Do you enjoy writing dialogue, exposition, or plot the most?

I usually find dialogue the most fun, followed by exposition and then plot. Yep, oddly in that exact order, lol! ;)

15. A Hollywood producer tells you that they want to film just one of your fics. Which fic would you want it to be? 

Ooo, it would be a toss-up between the Partners In Crime series (I still really enjoy that version of Eobard and Caitlin, even though the show ended up giving us a different Killer Frost) or “The Thousandth and the First.” I’d probably give it to “Thousandth” if I had to break that tie because I really would love to see all of that acted out, lol! ;)

18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

For the non-Snowells answer, it would be this line from “Five Times Oliver Held Felicity (And The One Time She Held Him):“  He held her like she was spun-glass fragile and infinitely breakable, but he knew the truth. Between the two of them, she was far, far stronger in all the ways that really mattered. She always had been.

I just felt like that summed up what I wanted to say about Oliver and Felicity. I really enjoyed writing Oliver in this, which is funny because it was originally intended to be Felicity’s p.o.v., not his and he literally just... took it over. ;) This was written early in the show and I enjoyed this look at this man who was both very powerful and skilled but also utterly broken on the inside. He was fun to write. Which makes me sound slightly psychotic, now that I see it written down. o_O

And for a Snowells answer, because it’s ALL SNOWELLS, ALL THE TIME in my fangirl heart these days... :P It’s from “Star-Marked:” "It's called a 'thigh,'" she said. "I have 'em and chickens have 'em and you have 'em, too. And they're delicious." Now his gaze popped up to meet hers. "My thighs are delicious?" "Chicken thighs are delicious," she corrected. "I don't know enough about yours to have an opinion."

That exchanged just popped out of nowhere. She was just supposed to say the part about it being called a thigh and then the scene go on from there and she starts on about chickens and delicious thighs and he’s all YOU LIKE MY THIGHS, Y/Y??? and it was at that point that I realized how very much I was enjoying Frost’s voice in this particular story. This one was one of the most fun to write because of that, lol! :D

[dulharpa]

far from home -  bucky x stark sister!reader

firstly, i like how youre introducing the reader from buckys pov, like you can sort of already gather what shes like from them

‘Bucky can hear Tony’s soft inhale, feel the intensity of the man’s glare directed at Steve. He shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but a twitch of muscle would be enough to alert both men that he’s here. With the amount of tension crackling in the air, a brush against the wall would be equivalent to a thousand cymbals crashing in cacophony.’

IM CRYING ALREADY. the imagery in here is GLORIOUS. your tone here is so fitting! oo and the alliteration here is perfecto

ooooooo!! the backstory coming in  👀👀

‘despite what some people think that Steve and Captain America are two different personas, there will always be parts of Steve in the Avenger, and parts of the Avenger in Steve. They both want to believe in something good. They are, after all, one in the same.// Just as how Bucky and the Winter Soldier are the same man despite everything. HYDRA simply amplified the hate, fertilized the seeds of rage, curated the quiet thunder within his soul, within James Buchanan Barnes so that the Winter Soldier could thrive.’

yIKES! lol this is very character study like! nICE. it hurts tho, my poor children, i love you both 

oo ‘starlight eyes’ that is a very nice way of describing them

‘“Then what was London?” The protesters. “São Paulo?” The earthquake. “Vancouver?” Freezing cold water.//“Look, I care if Stark’s gonna run us over trying to find her. I care enough because she’s part of our team. Come off it, Steve. I know she can take care of herself. I’m gonna take a nap. Dr. Cho said no partying post-Singapore and what do you know, we throw the biggest party ever.’

ooo singapore uwu and london? (coincidence? haha jkjk) and the hints abt reader and buckys background are so good?? but so annoying??? like i just wanna KNOW yknow?? 

‘The water runs copper and the sting bites at his palm as he tries not to think. Tries to focus on the numbing cold that runs over his skin.’ 

your imagery is so vivid?? im actually in awe??? i am so regretful i havent kept reading your fics. like i know they are amazing, i just keep putting them off??? idk man. hopefully this makes up for it (gd tho, im still not done with commenting on one fic. this is what im doing with my motivation teehee ;)

‘ He feels weak. Tired. He wants to go back to bed but he also wants to stay out in the sun for a few hours more. The sun kisses his skin through the windows and he squints against the blue sky, wondering ‘

mood during this quarantine lol

‘“Oh, right.” Your voice is flat, uninterested, cold, as you stare at him. “You killed my parents.”Shit.‘

 OUCH LMAO THATS C O L D, O GOT +100 PHYSIC DAMAGE FROM JUST READING THAT

ooo robin as a nickname noice. very much gives me batman vibes lol

oh! and the way of doing the ‘flashback’ is neat! very original. it both tells us what happened AND buckys reaction to it again. he can re-analyse himself and reader. very cool

‘If you walk away now, don’t bother coming back!” Silence. Bucky can hear his own strained breathing, your soft sigh as you soaked in his ultimatum.’

👀👀 yikes that ultimatum. :// not good bucky. tbf theyre both trying to hurt each other but Yikes

eyy!!! readers pov!! finally! and the switch after we find out the outsiders pov? brilliant

oh no :(( more angst

‘When’s the last time you saw your therapist?”“Don’t have one. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself.”’ they BOTH need therapists;;;;

very good fic!!! :DD they rlly do hate each other! i definitely like how you went back and forth with the timeline! it gave me a v strong idea on what yn was like even before we rlly got introduced. i am now very curious on where reader is? i love your characterisations! 

i will read the 10k+ fics but heck the last one took me ages lolol (i will comment in the future tho!! i promise <3 ) (that took me over an hour jjhghgdjh)

slipping away- amnesiac modern bucky x reader

omg,,, AMNESIA! >:DDDDDD

‘ Put your fucking seatbelt on’

oh no, istg theyre going to have a car crash arent they (’ doesn’t put the seatbelt on to spite you.’ NO PLEASE PUT IT ON U DUMBASS)

ok,,,,, at LEAST he put it on before he got hit, thank heck. but still. youre so cruel to your poor characters lmaoo

oh gosh

‘You fall apart slowly, like pieces of you peeling away until you’re nothing more than your broken heart. The sobs that wrack your body are relentless and you shove your forearm into your mouth to muffle your cries. You want to bite into your skin. You want to distract yourself from the agony tearing you to shreds. You want to feel anything but the pain.///Tears sweep into your hair, cloud your vision and your whole face floods with heat as you try to breathe through the pain. You’re cleaved into pieces on that bed, eyes squeezed shut as the tears keep flowing, and your throat burns’

this hurts damn, it is so vivid?? i can really feel it 

i am so glad you got into writing yk?? so glad

NO PLS, TELL HIM. TELL HIM :((( ‘shes nice once you get to know her?? shes known nat for years now!! years!!

oh god ‘he looks younger without the burden of your time together’ this is so angsty omg

‘Well, he was stumbling through his apology and I just let him finish.” Your body fills with warmth as you remember his embarrassed smile, the way he shoved his baseball cap farther down his head, chin tucked to his chest, trying to hide that face. “When he was done, I opened my mouth to say something polite but what came out was ‘You look like someone I’d very much like to kiss’.”

this is so soft i stg im crying in the club

OH SHITTTTTTTTTTT , you left it off like that!!! thats so cruel!!!! i can’t!!! how dare you!!!! :””””””((( im typing this with tears in my eyes ill have u know!!

anyway!!! very good fic!! you could honestly make that into a longfic very easily lol. i felt too many emotions :(( 

i was just about to say where is the fluff!! where is it!! when i saw the next one and yay :))) pls i cant have more angsty stuff rn

.

cookies and rings and things bucky and reader

‘how much do you love me?’ ‘count the snowflakes, multiply by a million’

did you have to start the fic off with such a SOFT line? its so soft! so TENDER 

‘He wonders what kinda insane person wears socks without any clothes on, but then decides that it’s the kind of person who’s fallen in love with him.’  jesus, the soft moments filled with love are the greatest <3

you can write fluff so well, whyd you have to pain me with all that angst ;””””) (1/10 hurt, 9/10 comfort is the way to go lolol) (jkjk ill read the angsty ones too when i have the spoons) (gonna reread that hydra steve one and ik thatll fuck me UP)

‘ Then, he can feel the cold metal of the ring she slid onto her own finger less than twenty-four hours ago and realizes that he had thought a lot of things shouldn’t be possible, and yet they still are. ‘

you literally brought me to tears reading this softness, you have truly found my weakness

‘ She’s so damn gorgeous with flour on her face and eye bags beneath her eyes that he’s sure she will inevitably make his heart burst ‘

he already likes her so much! i can’t believe this is affecting me so much :’)

‘Bucky is quite sure Sam is in love with his girlfriend in the fact that he’s in love with the fact that his girlfriend is possibly in love with Bucky’

this is so soft??? sam loves reader bc reader loves bucky sm. pls my hear <3333

you do fluff SO WELL DAMN 

‘F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice echoes in his small little perch and he still thinks it’s weird without having the side effect of Stark in his suit chasing after him to hear the A.I. but he shoves that uncomfortable feeling of the dead man out of his head. That is too much regret to unpack right now on a mission. ‘

yike bringing back that reminder oof

but thats so soft??? (i am def overusing soft but,,,,, i love it and the vibe) she sent him cookies! god i can feel the love  

‘She expresses her feelings through cooking, which Bucky has learnt the hard way. One time, they got into an argument over something stupid—he can’t even remember what started it—and came to the kitchen at 2AM to see her sitting at the kitchen island crying her eyes out and surrounded by baskets of muffins.’

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 my hEART

you show how much they love each other in so many ways??? i am dying

“Alright, I like it.” Rolling his eyes, he pecks her forehead and she smiles victoriously. It’s so adorable that Bucky, with less than three hours of sleep, adds, “God, I want to marry you.//”“What?”//Oh.Shit.

oh my god! i am literally tearing up!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!

oh shit o am literally crying

your fluff got me crying harder than your angst i hope youre happy

I really hope you enjoy reading this?? i keep forgetting to like text you but i wanted to do something for your birthday. especially in quarantine when everythings gone crazy. one year i swear ill do something REALLY good for you. not making promises bc i hate if i dont. but ill like, learn how to podfic because you D E S E R V E  I T 

ive spent like three hours doing this lolol 

thank you so much for everything hayley!

[passingthroughstranger]

Oh, wow...

This is gonna be another long one. Depending on tumblr, this could be one of my last posts here.

So the Super Best Friends Zaibatsu are no more...

First Liam left, then years later, tonight/today...

It is the 16th of December right now in my country. I know the stupid rule is effective tomorrow, but I'm guessing they're gonna use US times, so I have... 2 days left?

But if it's effective immediately when midnight struck?

Hmm.

I've never been a social person. I do have real life friends, but they're all so far away now, doing their things. Adulting their own way.

I'm sure many have accounts on social media sites, but as I've said before I don't trust any of them. Always tempted to make a facebook or twitter account, but I'm a somewhat private person and I hear that they require some personal info just so I can have an account.

Fuck that.

Instagram? I don't do photography, and even if I want to it would be action figures doing cool poses and I have neither the money to get the toys I want, nor do I have the skill to even use photoshop to pretty them up.

Yeah, someone who doesn't know how to photoshop. Sue me, 'cause nobody taught me.

Hell, I can't even make a YouTube video. I do have an account there, but they're all to favorite all the cool videos I've seen there. And yes, just as many as my tumblr posts.

Okay, not really; probably still in the 10K rather than the 200K posts I have here.

... Guess in light of the Zaibatsu departure, I'd like to be a bit more open to you all.

My PSN is SolidusStranger. I have another PSN, but that's only to buy US only games... And I haven't used it for so long I forgot the name and password lmao

One of these days, I have to plug in my PS3 just to check.

Discord name is CordialStranger#1996

... Been here since 2012, and my stupid ass had only made one friend. I'm sorry for all the followers who I almost never interacted with, I wish I was more social so we can geek out about tokusatsu or games... And be friends.

I have an account on fanfiction.net and it is StrangerDenB4. I made plenty of tokusatsu fanfics but I do have some that aren't... But they're only a handful. I'd link the following stories, but as always this website ruins it.

DOOM: Knee-deep in the Dust; one of the highest reviewed Doom x RWBY crossover in that website. I still can't believe people like my trash, but I'm grateful either way.

Unlike many Doom crossovers, mine is a bit more fun and silly. Doomguy isn't as gloomy as how most people portrayed him in fanfics. But of course, there are and will be serious moments and grim events. It's STILL a Doom crossover, after all.

I'm currently focused on writing Hybrid Insector: Shiin Rider Academia. A Kamen Rider x My Hero Academia fanfic.

I'm proud to say that I was the first one who made a section for this crossover in that website. Someone else might have made something before me back in 2015, in another website... but I don't know if there were anything before mine.

Unlike the majority, I don't use the Heisei Era Kamen Riders, but a Showa Rider; old-school fisticuffs, minimum fancy attacks variations and gadgets, all skills.

Specifically, a son of a Showa Rider. Read and find out.

My personal pride and joy are two peculiar fanfics; Kamen Rider Kuuga: Rising Unto the Stars, and Kamen Rider OOO: Dusts of Avarice.

Respectively, crossovers with Pretty Cure and RWBY... And self inserts.

Oh no! A grown ass man writing self indulgent self inserts, the horror!

... So fucking what?

Both were made when I was in my early 20s, so the writing may not hook you in. But I still plan to continue both of them, and make one more.

Oh, yes. One more self insert... I have a lot more ideas, but I think this new one should be enough for now.

I'm pretty sure it's not narcissism that drives me to do so... I just want to write something fun for myself.

We all have thoughts of going on adventures with our favorite characters, yes? What's so wrong about me writing about it?

So I have fantasies about romancing fictional women, who doesn't nowadays? I can only promise that there won't be any... Lemon scenes. I don't do that, ever.

At least I dared to write such stories.

I used to write Kamen Rider Amazon: Friendship is Magic. Yes, really. Not a self insert, and yes an MLP crossover.

Season 3 sucked the fun out of me to continue, and I was too young to plot properly because I had way too many ideas.

I might remake this, using the post-Equestria Girls seasons, when Twilight Sparkle got her wings and became an Alicorn.

Basically, all 15 Showa Riders helping out the ponies against evil. Turns out years later after I wrote it, said evil was Tirek. I can do something with that.

Next... Well, that's all the places you can find me. I have a Deviant Art account, but I haven't visited it in ages ever since I moved here.

Heh. Whenever I feel gloomy, I always feel talkative as well.

I guess... This is all I can say. The gloomy feeling is slowly fading and I don't have much else to say.

If I'm not banned, then it's business as usual as I reblog hundreds of interesting random posts.

... If I am? Know that I love you guys and gals.

This is Rasyid, and until then...

[jeongjaebae]

ah my new year gathering was canceled ! the host got covid the week before and just canceled it in case! and uhm ( • •;) i have like 256GB HAHA but i'm at 10k now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ back when i had 6k photos i told myself that it's not going to be worse than this.... then it did.... ANYWAYS I SAW THEY STARTED POSTING ON INSTAGRAM i'm like pls let me catch up first (T＿T)

yeah league is similar to val! when people say playing league is a red flag they usually categorize it with val... but i choose to turn a blind eye on it.. for now bdkdbdkdn oh i play sstbz too! oh my god, have you seen a clip of jacob failing at sunwoo's rap and saying "sunwoo, rap slower please" LOL the whole thriller album 🙅🏻‍♀️ too hard for my chubby little fingers. oh i'm not a skater, (professionally wise) but i'm avid fan of it! i just like to casually do skate. oo figure skating ? figure skating always fascinated me, why did you quit if i may ask?

ooo bermuda line + sangyeon? and gosh you don't need to say thank you! i wanted to see how you were doing even if i didn't have enough energy to talk <3 gosh,,, i love wadada although the second part of the chorus... not my fav but i'm on neutral on the "oh~" part now! hmm, SMILEY!! smiley gives me like a disney 2010s vibe and i miss that era. i also like polaroid love & pirate ! any groups you recently started listening to? hmm usually with two toned hair most people call it skunk LOL. i know my big three! (obviously my sun sign is scorpio) cancer moon and gemini rising ! i don't know much about zodiacs but my chart says i have water the most then earth after and fire then air in last! man, everyone who guesses my chart as well think i give off earthy vibes, so you're not alone! and thank you! but maybe sticker playing on repeat on my feed helps me think it's okay LMAO.

but ah i should've realized from your blog theme i never thought about that BDKXNXKX. hmm mine changes on the day but it's mainly dark purple. even though i don't post on my blog anymore, if you saw it you could as well tell from my theme! gosh i agree! i don't know how long your winter break was but mine was pretty lengthy but still felt so short 😭.

gosh -20? i can never endure the cold, the most it gets cold here is like 60 (fahrenheit) ~15 celsius! it doesn't snow here but in the winter we get wind and light rain ;-; (i don't know if you can tell where i live based on the weather, can you guess? HAHA) but yes stay warm as well ! -🐿

ahh well i hope you had a fun new years anyway!! but yes stay safe and healthy <3 omg 256gb didn't sound like a whole lot until i checked my phone and... i'm sitting at 64gb 🤡 tho my gallery is mostly just tbz and fic insp LMAO. but yeah INSTAGRAM TOO NOW as if it wasn't already hard enough to keep up with their updates in one spot!!

league, val, and... overwatch 🥴 the trifecta of red flags AHAHA. and omg sstbz... sunwoo's raps!! are so difficult!!! would agree that thrill-ing as an album is difficult, obviously with out of control, but thrill ride... isn't exactly one easy either... but omg watching juyeon play compared to the other members is so funny!! ahh i see, yeah skating is fun!! i quit bc of a knee injury years ago but like i wasn't great at it anywayyy :') now it's kinda just fun showing off a little while casually skating with friends or attempting to teach them simple moves haha (or like... analyzing olympic figure skaters like i've been doing these days LMAOO)

juyeon has actually made a comeback on my bias list since my last message about him slipping but i feel like that might be due to his hair... maverick era did him dirty >:(( i'm also writing him rn so there's that LOL. ooh the wadada dance looks like so much fun!! i saw the huening fam cover but ngl still don't like the song very much... agreed that the second half of the chorus is what makes it not so good HAHA. smiley is fun, have you listened to the rest of the album? i'm obsessed with her bside pretty boys 🤩 ooh polaroid love is a nice song to write to!! hmm i really liked yuju's album OH AND the game by pentagon!!

ohhh i don't think i would've guessed air being last for you but the earth vibes part is so interesting considering it's not in your big 3? have you read into your chart? i'm not exactlyyy a believer but there are some things on my chart description that seem strangely accurate HAHA. i have a taurus moon, libra rising, and gemini venus/mars!! oh is your theme still dark purple... would i find u... if i went thru my followers 👀 JK JK but that's a pretty colour!! i like purple too 🤩

just 60 fahrenheit??? lucky omg... i cannot stand walking my dog these days it's so cold 😭 wonder if jacob is also enjoying this canadian weather now that he's back LMAO. but hmm based on that i'd probably guess cali, arizona, nevada, texas for where you live??? haven't been to texas but when i did a winter trip to the other three states it basically felt like the fall weather here :')

but yes stay warm!! take care of yourself!! i hope you're doing well <3

NaNoWriMo Day 6

10K!!!

Tatie sipped her drink. “Then again, college professor money isn’t really anything to make a fuss about anyway. So I guess he does make a lot of money off it compared to the average.”

“That’s pretty nice. I’ve really only got the money for the bottom two floors of my landlady’s house.”

“You rent someone’s house? That’s interesting.”

“Well, I guess, but it’s not really that uncommon. It’s nice, and my landlady rents it to me at a really unbeatable rate. I wouldn’t be able to get anything like it anywhere else in this area.”

“That’s true,” Tatie laughed. “This place strikes me as a ‘rich people in the valley’ kind of area.”

“It is,” Maria nodded. “Which goes really well with my whole aesthetic of hating people who remind me of my low status.”

“Oh, then you must love me.”

“Oh yeah, totally. I’m jealous just looking at you. You have the pretty face, the nice hair, the good clothes, what’s not to love?”

Tatie giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. “Stop, you’ll make me blush. And look who’s talking! You’re way prettier than I am.”

“Oh, my god, don’t you get started,” Maria said. “You’re prettier than me, you’re not allowed to tell me I'm the pretty one around here.”

“Factually incorrect,” Tatie said with a smirk.

“Okay, we’re obviously gonna disagree on this one,” Maria said. “I stand by my findings, though.”

“Alright, then. And I stand by mine.”

Their food came, and they spent a few minutes in silence as they ate.

Tatie spoke first. “Hey, I’m curious—what about your parents? I told you about mine, what’re yours like?”

Maria let out a quiet hiss between her teeth. “My parents are… interesting people. To say the least.”

Tatie’s eyebrows shot up. “Ooo, I’m sensing a story behind that. Wanna share, or does that require a little more time getting to know each other first?”

“Nah, I’ll share with you now. It’s good to get it out of the way,” Maria said. “It’s a fun one, though, so we’ll be needing refills on our drinks.”

Tatie’s smirk became a grin. “Now I’m really interested.”

“You’ll enjoy this.

“My parents are a couple of typical New Jersey folks, born and raised. Mom’s name is Theresa, Dad is Richard. Surname of Prince.”

“I thought your last name is Taylor.”

“It is,” Maria nodded. “That’s my legal last name.”

“So, what, was your mother’s maiden name Taylor?”

“Nah, her maiden name is Youngston. I had my name changed when I was 15.”

“Oh…” Tatie’s face wasn’t quite as bright now. “So there was, um… ah, fuck, what’s the English term—bad blood! Bad blood?”

“Yeah, there was a lot of bad blood between us,” Maria sighed. “Because they really fucked up my life from the get-go. You know the whole thing that happened in the 60s about designer babies, the ‘tailor-made’ shit?”

“Yeah, I remember reading about that in school.”

Maria pointed to herself. “Congrats, you’re looking at one of ‘em.”

“What? You were genetically modified?”

Maria let out a little laugh. “Yeah, that’s a—that’s the blunt way to put it.”

“Oh—sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude.”

“Nah, don’t worry too hard about it, I’ve got better things to be mad at anyway. But yeah, Mommy and Daddy decided that, rather than concieve their first child naturally, they’d rather have me grown in a lab and fuck with my genes so I’d be better than the riff-raff. That’s why I’ve got the hair, the eyes, and the fucking perfect skin. They also gave me all those super boosts to the immune system everybody was raving about.”

“Oh, Jesus, they really went the whole nine yards, huh?”

“Yup. Wanna know why?”

“Do I?”

“They did it to make a statement. To say science is good or some freshman English level BS.”

“Oh my god.” Tatie looked down at her drink, then downed the rest of the glass in one gulp. “Yeah, I see what you mean now. This calls for at least another round.”

“Yeah, especially since that’s only the foundation for all of the stuff that comes up after it,” Maria said. “It gets worse.

“Since I was the tailor-made baby, I was given the expectation of being a good example on every level. I had to be some sort of golden girl because of something they decided for me, which is bullshit upon bullshit.”

“Yeah, holy shit. I’m guessing things didn’t quite go so smoothly on that?”

“That’s being polite. I grew up with it, but by the time I was about 11, I started wising up to what was really going on with things, and, being a precocious pre-teen, I started acting up as well. And my parents got mad. Like, really mad about it.”

“Oh god, this doesn’t end well, does it?”

“No, it does not. Remind me at some point that I need to talk about how my little sister fits into it.

“So, since I was fucking up the perfect image these guys were working so hard to create, they got angry, and I started to suffer the consequences for my actions. Y’know, for all the stuff they would say about being caring, loving parents and never wanting to hurt their kids, they did an awful lot of it. Never anything physical, although Dad came awfully close a couple of times near the end. So I decided I wanted out, and I spent ages 13 through 15 working up a case to bring to court, and I actually managed it.”

“Yikes. That’s pretty scary.”

“Yeah. I moved out, changed my last name, used all my savings to pay for my last two years of high school while I got a job, and I got lucky with finding my landlady, so I had a good place to stay.”

“What about your sister? How did she deal with things?”

“Oh, man, she got the short end of the stick, which is saying a lot. If I was the golden girl who was expected to make the family look progressive or some shit, Thalia was the extra. They managed to get some bonus points with her despite her all-natural conception, since she was born blind, but she turned out to be just as troublesome as me. Worse, even. ‘Cause I only acted out by ruining my image, but she went further and actually went out of her way to piss other people off. For a blind kid, she apparently knows how to pick a fight.”

“Damn. I imagine she never really came out the winner in those.”

“Nope. Multiple bloody noses and awful bruises. And boy howdy, I could feel Dad’s shouting through the floorboards in my room upstairs.”

“Yikes. Richard does not sound like a very nice guy at all.”

“Oh man, what I wouldn’t give for an opportunity to tape his mouth shut and give him the shouting of a lifetime one of these years. I have enough repressed rage to power my house for a month.”

“Man, this makes my life sound positively idyllic,” Tatie said. “The worst I had to deal with was a few mental illness problems caused by my own unrealistic expectations.”

“Well, I can’t judge you for that, unfortunately, ‘cause I know mental illness is a fucking beast that doesn’t really care who you are or how good your life is.”

“Yeah, that much is true. I’ve spent the last five years of my life on medications for anxiety and depression and it’s honestly a bit of a fucking nightmare sometimes.”

“I could probably use something similar, myself,” Maria said. “I haven’t had the spare cash to afford mental treatments.”

“Yeah, from where I sitting, I think you could also benefit from some professional help,” Tatie giggled. “As well as some better living conditions than paycheck to paycheck.”

“Well, I can’t really complain about the pay part. Everybody goes through that phase when they leave the nest. I wouldn’t mind a little extra spare change every so often though, give me the chance to come out here more. That would be nice.”

“Maybe next time we get together I should just invite you to my place. That way we don’t have to worry about picking up a check when we’re finished.”

“I wouldn’t mind that so much. What would we do at your place?”

“Oh, we could do a lot of things. We could watch movies, cook, maybe bake something, get drunk, all the good stuff that girls normally do together, y’know?”

“I like the sound of that. I like the sound of that.”

“Of course, the real question is, would we get anything done for the project in the process? Because, after all, part of this is to get to know you as a groupmate, not just as an unfairly attractive friend.”

“Okay, first of all, sweetie, like I said, the attractive one at this booth is you, not me, and second of all, you make a fair point.” Maria took a big sip of her drink. “I think we could get a lot done for the project if we put our minds to it. The big roadblock would be focusing, and I think given our previous experiences dealing with idiots in group projects, we would be too afraid of dealing with that shit again to let ourselves slide. Especially since we’ve got people like Hannah and Adrien on our asses this time.”

“Very true,” Tatie nodded. “I don’t know much about Adrien, but I can vouch for Hannah’s track record. She’s very strict about keeping projects moving. It gets nasty if you don’t stay on her good side.”

“Ah. Excellent. We’re five for five on people in this group who will tear out the throats of the slackers.”

“Oh, I enjoy being a part of that group. You get to see the fear in their eyes.”

“The best of things. Those fuckers earn it.”

“Damn right they do. I see no reason to show mercy.”

The UNTAMEABLE Peggy Schuyler

a/n: ... guess who finished 6 episodes of kimmy schimt? meee.  summary: Peggy is a sweet but strong willed girl who is taking on the city with her untamed spirit. She rooms with some colorful individuals and manages to make some great friends all the while hoping her past doesn’t bite her in the ass. warning: unedited/raw draft drabble & corny ass plot w/c: 1865

1. Peggy & the Boys

“Welcome to Fatro Bank, how can I help you?” 

“Yes, hi, I’d like to take all the money out of my bank account please.” “Name Ma’am” “Margarita Schuyler, but everyone calls me Peggy.” “Mm…Ma’am you have eighteen-thousand dollars in the bank with us…” “I know, I want it all.”

Nothing beat the summer in New York City. It was an aesthetic to get use to. The noxious fumes of cars and trash, the neon colors of signs meeting the contrast of bland and lonesome concrete, yes the city was not for everyone. Making it here meant selling a bit of humanity. Manners and dignity were often second hand traits to survival, the hustle and bustle. It was no place for a girl of eight teen sporting a semi-expensive yellow dress in the middle of Brooklyn’s busiest intersection. It was no place for wide brown eyes and a duffle bag full of dreams and wonders.

It was not a place for the tamed and the easily broken. 

It was a good thing that among the many things the youngest of the Schuyler girls had was an untamed spirit. Of course running away at nineteen was unheard of. Peggy deliberated for days before her big scheme whether she was suffering from some sort of stress crisis. But from what? Perhaps the pressures of having two seemingly perfect sisters and who were leading perfect lives? The idea of going to college and unsure what to pursue or maybe the boy her father had introduced her to was finally getting on her last nerve? “ugh…” she grumbled scratching her arm, all of it was giving her hives. She shook her head and began walking down the line of lovely brownstone apartments. “Excuse me.” She walked up to a man with large, mane like hair. “Are you selling these homes? I’d like one, please. Something with a view…ooo and maybe some shelves…” The man turned his head and arched an eyebrow. “You would hm? Sure darling let me toss in some open floor plans and a pool on the roof while I’m at it.” “Oh I don’t need a pool, maintenance on those are In.Sane.” Peggy giggled looking around. The man in the purple suit ran a hand over his puff of hair, letting it spring back to form. “Darlin’, why don’t you run back to your mommy and daddy. Unless you got 10k to drop on me every month these houses are not for the likes of you.” “Pay…you?” “Yes, darling, see I bought these houses off some I dunno, immigrant family or whatever, flipped them for profit and fun. Its like…playing monopoly with…a lot more racial displacement and gentrification.” “That sound awful.” “I’m a Jefferson, its what I do. Now, leave before I call the cops on your pretty little behind”  Thomas wiggled his fingers as Peggy made a face taking a few steps back from the front steps of the building. He was a very mean man who had a very nice voice. She wasn’t sure how she felt about that, no matter. Surely there had to be another place. The hike around Brooklyn’s more scenic areas reminded her of visits to her aunt in Manhattan. Lovely buildings with iron fences and small rooftop gardens, more importantly the adventure that waited at every corner. Peggy found a few cats, a couple with triples riding a bike while drinking juices, and a homeless man she traded 50$ for his snap-back hat. This was the most fantastic day already! And it wasn’t even noon. Peggy paused in front of another row of lovely buildings and noticed there was a sign beside the stairs that read ‘Property of Thomas Jefferson’ and a phone number. “Here too? Man…he must really like monopoly.” She turned up her lip and kept walking. It seemed every building she tried so far was owned by Thomas…Finally after two hours Peggy hiked herself away from the soft, urban scenery of the upper class too…a drastically different view. She took two steps back and felt the warm, bird singing ambiance of the nicer neighborhood then took a step forward and was immediately met with the sounds of police sirens and crying babies. “Trippy…” she muttered walking down the cracked sidewalk, the buildings were mostly condemned with a few where shirtless men lounged on the stoop. They catcalled her and she immediately turned around. “Hi I’m Peggy Schuyler and most definitely not your…’Mama’ do you know where I can find a place to stay” after some crude offers and red faced insults the men were left dumbfounded as Peggy stormed off. Having left a copy of her eldest sister’s book ‘Women: how to treat them, how to love them’. To be honest she was just happy to get rid of it, it weighed a ton. Eventually she stopped a particularly rundown looking apartment with a large shouldered black man sitting back in the stood with a bag opened. She was on guard, ready to breeze past him when she noticed there was a ‘Roommate Wanted’ sign beside him. “Oh! Oh are you?...” “Yes!” The man exclaimed, “can’t a black man knit on his property without the police—oh you’re not police. Sorry, I’ve been frisked twice. I’m having a bad day.” “I’m so sorry why would anyone do that to you?...what’s frisk?” “They pat me down looking for something, then they laugh at me when they find my back is full of yarn and knitting needles. You honestly can’t win this some people.” Hercules shrugged a bit. “what can I do for you lil lady?” “Sir, I am looking for a place to stay!” Herc looked her up and down taking in her shiny flats and yellow dress… “That hat…does not go with your outfit” He commended on beaten up Red Soxs hat. “I wanted to blend in with New York.” “Rule one: New Yorkers HATE the Red Sox, also I think that hat has fleas.” He motioned to her head, suddenly Peggy tossed the hat aside and began scratching her head feverishly. “As for the place, we need a roommate, but I don’t know…” “Please, please, please I can pay!” She opened her duffle bag and Herc took a step back. He hadn’t seen that much money in years. “I’ve been walking for hours and I can’t find a place that isn’t owned by that…Jeffy guy.” “Ok, hold your roll sweetheart” “Peggy, my name is Peggy.” “Ok Peggy, why do you have all that cash are you some…new age drug dealer?” “No I’m…” She paused wondering if this would be the time to reveal she was a wealthy daughter to a wealthy lawyer from upstate. “I won the lotto?” Herc looked at her for some time and crossed his arms. Peggy felt sweat bead up against her neck as she held back nervous giggles that would give her away in no time. “Alright…but you have to pass the roommate test with the rest of the guys.” “Of course!” wait, guys she paused. She followed Herc up seven flights of stairs until she was huffing and panting. He opened the door to a cozy, and slightly musky smelling apartment. He gave her a quick tour of the kitchen which only had two working burners and a microwave. Also a fridge that if it wasn’t buzzing meant it wasn’t working. The living room where various video games and pants were scattered, and three doors. “Alright, so that room is John’s, this one is mine, and that was a closet but Alexander uses it. He doesn’t take up space…I’m pretty sure he’s sleeping on the desk he installed there anyway. Rent is 250$ a month not including water and gas. We split that evenly and I do the grocery shopping, you want anything you gotta leave me the cash for it.” Herc smiled a bit. “How does that sound to you?” Peggy was already digging through her things and slapped cash into Herc’s hand. “Awesome, sauce!” “Alright, well if you wait about two seconds you’ll meet John.” He took the money and walked into one of the rooms. “Johnny” Herc cooed in a strangely affectionate voice. The door closed, there was some rustling, some stumbling, then the door swung open again and Herc walked out with a smaller, freckled man punching his arm playfully. “John, Peggy, Peggy John. She wants to move in.” “Hiya!” Peggy beamed offering her hand. John looked her over and nodded, “sure, she’s cute so she fits in perfect with us.” He gave her a toothy grin. “I’m John Laurens, I work in the pet shop about seven blocks away.” “That’s great!” “Sure if you love puppy mills and kids running in trying to tap the fish tanks.” John shook his head and went to the fridge. “Surprised Alex let you bring someone in.” “Well…” Herc rubbed the back of his head. “Didn’t say Alex knew yet.” With that, John let out a hard laugh. “Alex is gonna be piiiiissed” Peggy looked between the two men, dropping her bag on the floor. “Who is Alex?” “Currently the only one paying rent.” John chuckled. “I just started working so I’m not seeing a paycheck for a bit. Herc works from ‘home’ manning his Etsy shop. Alex works with the government.” “Woah..” Peggy blinked, that was impressive. “Like a spy?” “More like…uh…he’s the guy that does the research for the guy who does the speeches for the guy who suggests things to some of the city council members. So I suppose down the change of government work…yeah its kinda cool.” Herc shrugged a bit taking a plop on the couch, uplifting some dust and moths. “To sum it up, homeboy argues for a living.” “I’m fairly certain if he’s not arguing he dies…isn’t that what we signed for when he took him in?” “I’m sure it was mentioned in the fine print.” The three joined in laughter, though Peggy had no idea who the third roommate was, he sounded fantastic. She couldn’t wait to meet him! She settled in for an hour, cleaned a bit, spoke to Hercules and John about their lives as she skillfully avoided any questions about her life. Eventually the door swung open again. The man that walked in was pretty small in comparison to John and Herc in both height and frame. He dropped his messenger bag on the floor and dragged his feet towards the small room. “Hey Alex, long day?” “mhmm” He groaned, eyes shut as he tread like a zombie through the house. Herc and John nodded, adding in “well we found a roommate” “Nice…” he yawned only half listening, his mind was aching. No sleep for three days and nothing but work was finally coming down on him. Nothing they could say would stop him from hitting the bed and falling asleep for the next week. “Yea she’s great you’ll love her.” Herc spoke low watching Alexander slid into his room. “Alright, I think its all settled!” Peggy clapped her hands once she was presented with the lease, she had just finished her signature when an unholy, high pitch screeched came from Alexander’s makeshift room. “SHE?”
