ೃ  in which (Y/N) (L/N), 20, still in school, and regretfully-unregretfully-her little girl scout sister's assistant, meets eren jaeger in an embarrassing too innocent door-to-door cookie sale whilst a humiliating party was going on.

cookies, suspicious maybe-maybe-not pot brownies, meddling little sisters and friends, “oh my god they were roommates” vine on replay 24/7, homework, tears, and fairy lights bring them together.

“I’m going to enter now.”

“Ahhh yes, please!”

“Shut up, please.” Eren muttered to himself as he tossed and turned around in his bed, but still couldn’t get to sleep. “When will they ever stop doing this?” Why did Eren’s next-door roommate and his girlfriend have to do this five times a day? They had a lot of stamina for 21-year-olds who didn’t have anything better to do.

Eren’s thoughts eventually brought him to his parents.

His parents- did they even exist?

For pretty much 14 years of Eren’s life, they had been out of town or out of the country. His older brother, Zeke, blonde, bespectacled, tall, and sometimes too far up his own ass older brother who Eren is able to confide in from time to time, recently got a girlfriend whom he’s hopelessly in love with (they’re even thinking about getting married which isn’t really a problem since the girl is genuinely nice to his older brother so Eren is good with her.), so… things in the family had been a bit rough and busy to say the least.

Communication with his parents wasn’t always the best.

Eren would study late at night back when he was seven, because no one bothered to help him with homework. Along with the fact that he wasn’t the brightest kid in class, and he knew that very well, but he had ambition and he was determined to make it big in the world. He focused more on sports, particularly Soccer in middle school and high school, and tried to balance that with his studies.  After being granted a Sports Scholarship from Shigashina University, Eren decided to rent and share a flat, living with his batchmates who he met at a mixer party (before Uni started as this whole meet and get to know each other kind of thing) and whom he was so quick to call his ‘friends’, just so that he could get out of the hellhole that was his own house.

But things turned out much worse than expected.

Eren thought that the ‘College Life’ was to focus more on pursuing your future career and make a name for yourself but… it was the other way around.

He thought that after Freshmen year, everyone would take things seriously. Sure, have some drinks, get wasted after finals, or have house parties from time to time. But he was unfortunately, dragged into the wrong crowd. After attending around 5 parties in the first few months of being generalized as one of the infamous and pompous freshman archetypes present in every university, he called it a year and spent the rest of his nights doing homework, projects, playing video games, staying at the school soccer field until 10PM while his roommates were probably smoking crack and not caring about the number of units they needed to take for each of their goddamn subjects.

 He was ~living the life~ and now that he regrets most of the decisions he made in freshman year, the only option that he has left was to wait until his third year and move to a different apartment.  

 Now, here he was, Sophomore year, nearing the end of the semester, and very much eager to get the hell out of here and also study for his upcoming finals on Constitutional Law II, as his professor, Mr. Erwin Smith, was going to throw hands if one of his students score below average on the exam.

 “EREN MICK JAEGER! BROOOO!” Eren winces when he hears the shrieky and annoying voice of his flatmate Thomas Wagner, calling out to him. “Wanna go and party with us?” Eren smiles halfheartedly, shaking his head, “Ah, no thanks. I have a game tomorrow and finals coming up on Thursday.” Thomas smirked and wrapped his arm around Eren, “Oh fuck that, live the college life ya spoon.”

“No, really I have to study.”

Thomas frowned and groaned, “Oh god, you’re such a killjoy. Fine, if that’s what you want. Don’t blame us if we tell you to buy some beer down the block.”

Eren cracked an obviously fake laugh and pushed Thomas away from him, “You’re an ass. That only happened once and that was when we first met. Don’t you even dare try to ask me to buy you shit again.”

“Woah. Woah. Woaaaaaah. That was a joke Eren. Loosen up will you?” Thomas raises an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by the brunette’s sudden aggressiveness. He hums Moves like Jaeger by Maroon 5 as a way to spite Eren whilst passing by him down the staircase.

The brunette shook his head, tying his hair into a bun carelessly and sprinting into his room without uttering another word.

Eren just wanted to study. He really did.

Instead, his roommates, all of them, mind you, were all partying in the lounge and the music was too loud and Eren was too annoyed.

They did manage to bring him out and make him stay in the kitchen where he mindlessly glared at anyone who came in. He sighed and tapped his pen restlessly amongst the insane amount of books on the table.

There was a knock.

His roommate, Floch, came in the kitchen with his girlfriend who Eren couldn’t even name with all the women he has brought into the apartment. She was hanging onto his arm and giggling. Floch’s eyes were red and his speech very slow and lazy. "Eren!" he said with a sly grin.

Eren raised an eyebrow, shooting him an irritated look. "What now Floch? Are you here to tell me to take a shot again?" The ginger-haired’s girlfriend giggled once again and kissed Floch’s cheek. Floch laughed and swatted her away, though he missed by a long shot. "Someone's at the door," a thumb pointing to the den. "wouldchumind ge'in it?" another giggle. The girl nodded sloshily. "Yesss! Erenieee get 'em door, please. Be a dearrrrr."

Eren frowned and stared at them menacingly, earning no reaction from the two as they were mad drunk. "You were just in the den," Floch’s eyes widened. "My lovey wovey-we was in the den?" His girlfriend’s mouth went into an O. "Di'nt notice tha'!"

Eren sighed and stood up. He miraculously got through the throng of bodies and to the front door. "Yes?" he called out exasperated, not knowing who was outside.

"Do you want cookies?"

Eren turned and looked to see a little raven-haired girl, a girl scout no less, a blonde-haired boy pulling on a trolley who looked significantly shorter than him, wearing rimmed glasses, and an overall appearance whom his “friends” would immediately label as a nerd they had to be a few feet away from if they saw him and lastly, a girl who looked very tired and very done with life.

Beautiful (h/c)-colored hair, her eyes looked like the starry night sky, twinkling as he catches her gaze and a smile that looked forced, but warm all the same.  

A girl who was just absolutely fucking gorgeous.

Eren was captivated. His heart was beating like crazy and he could feel his ears turn red. He would make a fool of himself if he looked red as a tomato right now.

"Um," The girl peeked inside and grimaced, squeezing the hand that was her little sister's shoulder and catching Eren’s gaze. "Mikasa, I don't think these kinds of guys would want cookies."

“Unless they're pot cookies,” Eren almost said. Mikasa pouted and widened her eyes at Eren.

The older girl crouched down and frantically covered her little sister’s eyes. "Nopenopenope, Mi, don't pull that on him."

"But (Y/N)!"

(Y/N).

Her name was (Y/N).

Eren smiled sincerely (for the first time today) and leaned back inside to the drawer by the door to grab the extra cash he and his roommates put there for emergency pizza and stuff. "You know what? You're absolutely brilliant at selling cookies. I'll take one."

Mikasa smiled back at him cheekily and tugged her older sister’s hand. "See, (Y/N)?! He wants some! Go get 'em!”

The raven-haired girl then turned to the blonde teen, practically jumping up and down. “Armin look! We sold another one!"

“We did!” The boy who was apparently named Armin, clapped his hands together, then gave the little girl a high five. “You’re a natural at this Mikasa!”

(Y/N) looked at Eren, then Mikasa, and sighed. She grabbed a bag from the trolley Armin was dragging around and pulled out a box of cookies. Eren grabbed them slowly from her, their hands almost touching as he gave (Y/N) a small smile. The (h/c) girl blushed lightly, though not visible enough for the brunette to notice.

"Hope to see you again!" Eren called out when the siblings said their thank you's and bid farewell.

And, this time, even for the slightest moment, Eren’s serotonin levels were going straight through the roof. His heart was still beating loudly, almost in sync with the trash music his roommates were blaring on the speakers. and for a moment, even just for a moment. 

He felt genuine happiness that he hasn’t felt in a very long time.

 The three of you continue to walk animatedly, now that the coast was clear and the guy from earlier wasn’t within earshot, your blonde friend just had to break the silence.

 Armin smiles, pushing his glasses up to the crook of his nose. “(Y/N), you did see how he looked at you right?” The blonde chuckles softly, catching his best friend off guard.

 You blinked. “Him?” You try to stop yourself from smiling, blushing profusely. “Geez Armin, I don’t even know his name yet.”

 “I’ll bet you 100 bucks that he goes to our Uni.”

 “Even if he does, it’s not like we’ll talk to him or anything. Judging from the place he lives in and the people he was hanging out with, we’re in two completely different worlds.” You shook your head in denial, holding Mikasa’s hand, your interlocked arms swinging playfully. Armin gives you a knowing look in response.

 Mikasa continued to wave back at the boy whom they had just sold cookies too. (Y/N) looked over her shoulder and smiled. “Wasn’t he nice (Y/N)?” Mikasa asks her older sister. (Y/N) returned her sister a small smile, “He was.”

 "I hope we see him again!"

"I'm sure we will."

 The day of Eren’s dreaded finals finally arrive.

He has prepared tirelessly for this. Hours upon hours of hard work. But, before he finally gets his well-deserved sleep, he has a few more hours to cram and absorb more knowledge for his exams.

So, what better way to do so than head straight to the library as soon as it opens at 6 AM?

This time, no one was going to bother him. No annoying roommates and no distractions.

Eren heads over to a table near the coffee and snack machines. He puts down his bag on a seat next to him, and begins to study once again. Looking through the course materials and the lessons that he still didn’t quite understand. Eren was so absorbed with studying and relying on his gut feeling that no other student in this university would think of going to the library at 6 AM on the day of finals… then he’s wrong. Very wrong. 

 “Sasha, should you even be eating mashed potato this early in the morning?” Armin asks the brunette worriedly, a huge tone of concern in his voice.

“Armin! Don’t chu worry! I ate heavy breakfast! Bacon, Eggs, and Toast! Did you not see me in the kitchen!?” She reassures her blonde friend, continuing to scoop up the mashed potato on a reusable cup.

“Liar.” Connie hissed, narrowing his eyes. “I was awake since 4 AM. Not once did I see you sneak into the kitchen until (Y/N) woke you up.”

“Atatata. Can we… stop with the negative vibes for a second?” Jean tries to become the mediator by holding his hands up against his two friends who were about to start an argument. “It’s finals week. We have to keep a clear mind, body and soul-“

“Jean, you know that’s BS.” You yawn widely, still practically half-asleep.

“Oh, come on! Can’t you just let me be positive just this once!? If we fail this exam I’m going to blame you!“

The five of you continue to talk mindlessly on the way to the library. Connie pushes the glass door open, very much excited to have this huge library all to yourselves.

Until…

There was someone already there.

Your eyes immediately come into contact with Eren’s. His radiant jade eyes staring into yours, mouth practically agape, his hands holding on to wooden chopsticks as the hot air of instant ramen breezes through his face.

“Oh?” Connie blinks. “Guess we aren’t the first ones here then.” He whistles.

“(Y/N)!” Armin nudges you in the arm in an attempt to tease you. “Guess your wish came true huh? We did see him again! By himself too!”

“W-what am I supposed to do exactly?” You turn to Armin, speaking in a hushed whisper.  

“Say thank you to him! Offer him to go on a boba date or something!”

“You got the Sasha seal of approval (Y/N)! He’s hot!” Sasha motions you a thumbs up and you can’t help but feel yourself already wanting to die of embarrassment.

The four of them slightly push you towards his table. With your friends cornering you like this, there was no way of escaping this.

All you had to do was talk to him and properly thank him for buying cookies from your little sister.

That was it.

No need for any extra ad-libs or poor and bad attempts of flirtation.

Just thank him (Y/N).

You can do this.

You breathe a hefty sigh then approach his table with confidence. The brunette continues to look up at you whilst turning the page of his reviewer that he wasn’t even looking at.

“Hi again! I just wanted to thank you properly for helping my sister and I, out the other day. Mikasa really appreciated the gesture you did for her, and she couldn’t stop talking about you to our parents since we saw you. You see, none of the other girl scouts want to be paired up with my sister because they think she’s an emotionless and monotonous freak. They’re really mean to her but she really wants to continue being a girl scout so my friend and I accompany her whenever she has to sell cookies!”

“It’s N-no problem!” Eren quickly replies, running a hand through his hair. “Why would they say such horrible things to your sister like that? Judging from the way she acted in front of me, she was quite the opposite. In a positive way of course! Those kids are just assholes who are intimidated because another girl their age is seemingly better than them.”

You giggle in response. “Thank you. I’ll tell Mikasa that you said that!” 

There was short silence for a few seconds until you realized that you forgot to say something. 

“Ah! I’m (Y/N) (L/N) by the way!”

“Eren.” He smiles, reaching his hand out to you for you to shake. You grip his strong and calloused hand firmly, and Eren could feel his ears turning red again while you were about to blush as red as a tomato.

You hear your friends snickering in the background and you took this as a sign to go back to your table. “I guess, I’ll see you around campus?” You ask, tilting your head. For, you actually really wanted to see him again after this.

“Yea! I’ll be seeing you!” He grins widely, watching you leave where he was seated. His smile then envelops into a frown as soon as you went away then he goes back to studying.

“(Y/N)! (Y/N)!” Connie whispers loudly, calling you over by waving his hand. Why was this dunce being so painfully obvious? “Ask him if he’s looking for an apartment or if he wants to live with us!”

“Already!?” You ask in disbelief, a bit shocked by what Connie had just said. He scoots to the left, as you take a seat between him and Sasha. “Guys, you’ve known him for like… 3 minutes. Only Armin and I actually interacted with him before this.”

“He has to pass the vibe check first.” Jean shrugs, sipping on an iced expresso. “But, yeah, he does seem alright from a few feet away.”

“Come on (Y/N)! Ask him!” Sasha nods approvingly. “It’s weird that he’s studying alone like this while we’re in another table trying to remain unaware that he looks lonely as hell.”

“UMmMM… maybe he wants to study alone because that’s the only way he can focus? That’s a thing that normal people do, Sasha.” You remark sarcastically, trying to think up of more reasons to not approach him again.

Armin clears his throat, “Look, (Y/N), it won’t hurt to try right? Besides, don’t you feel a tiny bit sorry for him? He does seem lonely and you do have a crush on him so… more ways to interact with him right?”

Your shoulders slump and you breathe a defeated sigh. “Okay okay fine.” You make your way to Eren’s table again but before you do, you turn to your friends. “By the way, I don’t really have a crush on him just yet. I just find him cute okay?”

“Yeah yeah.” They say in unison as you continue to walk back to the brunette’s table.

“Hi again Eren!” You wave and try your best not to fumble or look painfully obvious that you were infatuated by him. He looks up and you try your best not to smile like a weirdo.

“Hm?” He hums.

“Would you like to come over to our table and study with us?”

To be continued.

pairing: min yoongi x reader fandom: bts warnings: non idol!au ; single dad!yoongi ; language genre: fluff ; angst ; smut previous: 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8 ; 9 ; 10 ; 11 ; 12 ; 13

summary: you never planned on becoming the babysitter of min yoongi’s daughter, one of the richest and most famous producers of south korea. you also didn’t plan on becoming so attached to the little girl, as well as her father. (Or: hot, successful and single dad hires broke babysitter.)

a/n: so, the reason why I didn’t post it sooner, is because I was really unsure of what to do. I didn’t know if I wanted to drag the heartbreak out, but then again, I really didn’t feel like doing that, since it’s already been fourteen chapters and if I had, that heartbreak part would have added like ten more chapters. aka, I think this chapter is going to make you all very happy, going to make you love Mei even more and it’s going to make you hate Minseo to the moon and back :’) enjoy. (also, all of you getting the vine reference in the end will get a cookie from me)

Weeks passed that you didn't see Yoongi.

You had asked Jimin and Hoseok to get all the things out of the apartment and bring them back to Jimin's flat where you'd stay for the time being. It wasn't the perfect solution, but it was one you were used to from the past.

You still took Mei to the park every once in a while, but it just wasn't the same anymore. She was always upset and begged you to come back, but you always tried explaining to her that you couldn't, not when a certain somebody was there.

In a child's mind, it must have been so easy.

And maybe it should have been, if Yoongi only had sent Minseo away and had told you he loved you. If he had shown you that you were the one for him and not her..

But now here you were, heartbroken over a man you thought loved you as much as you loved him. Maybe it had all been in your head? Those late night talks, those nights of you falling asleep in his arms.. maybe it had never been as serious for him as it had been for you.

Maybe all of this was your own fault.

On top of that, your new semester had started and you were back working at the club since Yoongi didn't pay you anymore.

It was like all of this had been a dream, of what it would have been like to be a part of this family. And now Minseo had returned and that dream was over and you were back at that same lonely spot you had been months ago. So maybe it wasn't a good dream, but a nightmare. Because now you had to live with this fantasy of you having a family, while you were all alone again.

God, you just missed them so much..

..both of them.

“Minseo?” Yoongi got up from his desk, the phone pressed against his ear, “What is it?”

“Mei isn't at school anymore. The teacher said she had told them you would pick her up, but since you're still at work..-”

This was the fifth fucking time in less than two weeks that she had ran away. From home, from school, from her play dates.

Every time Minseo was even just remotely there, Mei would run.

At this point, they had told her who she was.

And, well, the conversation hadn't gone as well as he had hoped.

“Do you.. understand, love?” Yoongi asked carefully, “Minseo is your mother.”

“No,” Mei crossed her arms in front of her chest, glaring at Minseo, “She's a bitch.”

“MEI!”

And with that, Mei had run back into her room and had locked herself in. That's what she overheard you call Minseo when you and Sarah had been talking and whatever that word meant, she was sure it was mean. And that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to be mean to this woman that ruined everything.

“I'm on my way,” he sighed heavily and ended the call, grabbing his coat, before he walked down to his car to drive to one of the two places he knew she'd be at. The bus stop she had first met you to wait for you, or the apartment you were staying at.

And he found her at the latter, where your best friend Jimin opened the door for him.

“Is my daughter here?”

“Yes,” he opened the door a little wider for him, “Guess she wanted to be with her mother,” and with that snarky remark, Jimin left to go to his bedroom to study, earning a heavy sigh from Yoongi.

Somehow that’s what everyone kept telling him. Everyone but Minseo.

Mei only looked up for a second when Yoongi came in, before she looked back at you.

“And Mister Namjoon says Hi!”

“Aw, thank you for telling me,” you cuddled her closer against you and dropped a kiss against her forehead.

“Mei. Let's go,” Yoongi's voice had you turn your head to him.

“What are you doing here?”

“I'm picking up MY child. Or have you forgotten about that?”

“What.. are we back at square one?” you got up and laughed humorlessly, “You telling me she's yours and that I don't have any business in her life? I think it's a little too late for that.”

The Yoongi in front of you now felt a lot like the Yoongi that you had first met. Rude, unthoughtful, not caring about anyone’s feelings..

And somehow you couldn’t help but think it was Minseo that brought back all those bad qualities in him.

“I want to stay with (Y/N), I don't want to go back to stupid Minseo.”

“She's your mother and she's not stupid.”

He’s had this conversation with her more than once not and had given up on scolding her for it. No matter what he did, no matter what Minseo did, Mei just didn’t like her.. 

“SHE'S NOT MY MOTHER!” she screamed and not in a childish, tantrum way, but in a tone that made both you and Yoongi jerk back from surprise, “She only pretends to like me so she can be with you, because you're rich daddy!”

Wow, even a six year old was able to see through her facade, while Yoongi, the adult in this relationship, couldn't.

“She.. Mei, I'm not WITH Minseo. We're not together,” and for some reason, he looked at you when he said that, because he wanted to see your reaction. But what the hell were you supposed to do with the information that he hadn’t moved on right away? Thank him for that? Hug him? Kiss him?

“But she lives with us. And she's mean to me when you're not there and I hate her and I..-” she began sobbing and even though Yoongi knelt down because he wanted her to come to him, she turned around and raised her arms to be picked up by you, “I don't want to go back there.. I want (Y/N).”

“Pumpkin,” you sighed and picked her up right away, cradling her head against yours, “I'm so sorry, angel,” because at this point, that was all you could say to her.

He did it again, didn't he? He failed her, yet again.

When you were with him, he felt like, for the first time since Mei was born, that he had been a good father to her. He had made her laugh, had made her happy, had tucked her in at night and had kissed her good morning. He had told her he loved her and he told her she was the most important person to him.

But ever since you moved out..- if anything, it got worse this time, because Mei blamed Yoongi for everything that happened between you and him.

And he knew that she was right. He knew all of this was his fault and he blamed himself as much as she blamed him. Because ever since you were gone, he realized what a big fucking mistake he had made. That he missed you at every hour of the day, that he always looked forward to coming back home, because he thought you’d be waiting with a smile, only to remember that you wouldn’t. He’d see a little boy with his parents outside and he’d remember how you and him had talked about having a son one day.. he remembered how happy it had made him.

He remembered that happiness..

..he just couldn’t feel it anymore. 

It was like with Minseo when she left. She took that happiness with her.

Only difference was that you didn’t leave because you wanted to. You left because he made you.. because he didn’t show you what you were worth.

But Minseo.. she just had this thing about her that he could never say no to. That's how it's been when they were at uni and that's how it was now.

For example, she had never actually asked if she could move in, she just did. He told himself that it was okay because she was Mei's mother and that this would maybe bring them closer together, but apparently he had been wrong. She continuously used his credit card and told him she was doing it because she was buying things for Mei, or doing some shopping for the apartment, but he had never actually seen her come back with anything other than Gucci and Valentino bags. She had already told all her friends that she and him were back together, when they really weren't. Yoongi was nowhere near ready to be in a relationship, not after everything that happened between you and him. He still had feelings for you and he would for quite some time. So until those disappeared, he would never, ever think about being with Minseo romantically.

And then she always had to trash talk you and that's something that got his blood boiling, because in all this, you were the wounded party. You had not deserved any of what had happened. And every time Minseo as much as mentioned your name, he would blow up and basically tell her to shut the fuck up.

But she never would.

Nevertheless, Yoongi got back up from the ground with a heavy sigh as his daughter was still crying, his eye bags clear and visible on his face from all the sleepless nights as he looked at you, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Mei was busy drawing in front of you two, while you all patiently waited for your order.

The silence was beyond awkward, you looking at Mei, while he was looking out the window.

But eventually, Yoongi decided to break it.

“I meant what I said earlier..”

“What?” you turned your head to look at him.

“I'm not with Minseo. I mean, we're not together.”

“Who you're dating isn't any of my business anymore, Yoongi.”

He was quiet for a second, before he asked: “Are you.. with.. Mei's teacher?”

“Namjoon?” you snorted, “No, he uh.. he actually is dating someone else now.”

“Really?” he sounded a little too excited when he heard you and him weren't a thing, and you must have noticed, because that smile that crept on your face was a lot softer than any he had seen since this thing between you and him had ended.

“Yeah, it's.. it's Sarah actually.”

“Wait, what? THE Sarah?”

“Didn't you know, daddy?” Mei looked up from her drawing, “They're sooooo cute together. And Auntie Sarah is so in love with him.”

“Auntie Sarah? What happened to you not liking Sarah?”

“Sarah is cool now,” she looked back down, continuing to work on her drawing, “Sarah and (Y/N) are friends, so Sarah is my friend too.”

“What the fuck?” at that word, you nudged him, “Since when are you and Sarah friends? You used to hate each other?”

“Well.. that's what happens when the same guy breaks your heart.”

Aaaaand there it was.

It was bound to come up sooner or later and he deserved it, but he still said: “I never meant to break your heart. In fact, if you had stayed that night, none of this would have happened..-”

“You still think it's about that stupid award show? It's about the fact that you replaced me. That you didn't care about me. That I..-” you stopped yourself from saying it, and instead settled for, “That I had feelings for you, that you apparently didn't have.”

“Oh, come on,” he snorted like you had before, “I didn't have feelings for you? Do you want me to remind you of the vacation you and I spent together? Of everything that happened there and after? Was that just me playing you, then?”

“Please don't fight,” Mei whispered, her eyes beginning to water.

“I don't know, Yoongi, you tell me,” you crossed your arms in front of your chest, “Would you have let me go so easily if you have had feelings for me? You should have ran after me then, you should have told me you loved me, you should have shown me that you care about me.”

“I called you! Every single fucking day, but you never answered! I begged you to talk to me, I begged you to answer my calls, but you didn’t! I didn’t know where you were, I didn’t know how to find you and I didn’t even know where to start looking!”

“P..- Please..-” the first tear ran out of her eye when you two got louder, the entire restaurant now looking at you and him.

“Because I KNEW Minseo was with you! I knew she'd be there and probably tell you what a stupid fucking whore I am! But you're like every other man, you are completely oblivious to the fact that she uses you for who you are. That she doesn't care about Mei or you and that she never has, or she would have stayed with you!”

“You don't know shit about her!”

“I know enough, you asshole.”

And with that, Mei finally had enough and ran out, sobbing her eyes out worse than before. Not only was she embarrassed by this public fight, but she was just so.. heartbroken, to see the two people she loved the most fight like this.

The two people she wanted to be together more than anything in the world..

..her little family, the one she always wanted, always dreamed of, always prayed for.

Seeing that there was no hope left for it to happen, that her dreams and prayers would probably never be answered.. it just crushed her to pieces.

“Mei,” both you and Yoongi said in unison as you got up and ran after her, the fight immediately forgotten. All that was important was Mei.

She obviously didn't get very far with her tiny feet and you were able to catch her before she could run off of the parking lot.

Yoongi had wrapped his arms around her from behind and had picked her up, turning her around and holding her against him.

"We’re so sorry, baby girl..”

“We didn’t mean to fight,” while the little girl cried into her father's chest, you gently stroked her back.

“I just wanted us to be a family,” she sobbed, “I just wanted a mommy and a daddy that loved me. I wanted a mommy and a daddy that loved each other. But you hate each other.. and I'll never have my family. We’ll never be a family.”

This was what you had been so scared of. Why you didn't want Mei to know that you and Yoongi had been a thing, because you knew this would happen when she found out and you would end things..

But neither you, nor Yoongi ever wanted this to happen. Wanted her to be this upset.

Despite this fight between you two, you still had something in common and that was the love for Mei. So because of her, because he wanted to give her comfort, but also comfort himself and you, he wrapped his free arm around you and pulled you towards him, without thinking twice about it.

And you didn't reject him, because you knew what he was doing right away.

All three of you decided to just.. stay in this fantasy for a second and pretend like everything was alright.

Like you were a family.. a real family. Like nothing that happened these past weeks had actually happened. Like you were still in that happy bubble that you had been in when you came back from Hawaii.. like you still had a future together.

But it only lasted for a moment, when the woman that had caused all of this suddenly showed up.

“What's going on here?” she asked in her high-pitched voice and that stupid fake smile on her face, “I thought you had made a reservation for us, Yoongi? You know.. for us and our daughter?”

All three of you were now looking at her, but you were the first to wipe away the tears that had inevitably escaped your eyes, about to walk away saying, “I'll just leave.”

“Don't,” Yoongi wrapped his fingers around yours, before you could even so much as take a step, “I'll drive you home..”

“Yoongi, don't, she's..-”

“I said: I'll drive you home. Minseo, I'll come back later. Without Mei,” Mei looked up at him in confusion, but he just smiled and said, “Maybe (Y/N) would allow you to stay with her for the night if you ask her nicely?”

Yoongi now knew that he had to make a compromise. This was like you and him were divorced, even though you had only been the nanny. Maybe you could come up with a plan for Mei to stay with you over the weekends, if that made her happy.. and he knew it would make you happy too.

“(Y/N)? Can I?”

You hadn't expected him to say that, but whatever he was thinking, you were glad he was.

You obviously wouldn't say no, “Of course..-”

“Don't you think you should ask me?” Minseo put her hands on her waist, “I'm her mother, after all.”

You were ready to defend yourself, Mei was ready to defend herself, but it was surprisingly Yoongi that decided he would do that for the both of you, “Minsie, (Y/N) has been there for Mei for the past months, you can't just pull them apart, that's not fair on either of them. She's going to take good care of her, I promise,” funny how he was still thinking Minseo was worried about Mei, when that was actually the least of her concerns. She just didn’t like it that Yoongi gave you such a privilege.

“Only because you've put your dick inside her, doesn't mean you know her, dear.”

You quickly put your hands over Mei's ears and grabbed the car keys out of Yoongi's hand, not wanting the little girl to hear these kind of things. You decided you'd put her in her car seat and take care of her first, Mei being more important than your pride right now.

“You know what, Minsie? You're right,” he approached her with a nod, his lip slightly pursed, until he was right in front of her, “I put my dick inside you too, yet I never knew the real you. Otherwise I would have known that you would leave me and my daughter,” this was the first time he said my daughter in front of her. And somehow it sounded a lot better than our daughter.

“I told you why I did it..- my job..-”

“..- should not have been more important than Mei and did not give you the right to just disappear without saying a word.”

Where did this confidence come from?

Actually, scratch that. He knew where.

From the same woman that was helping his daughter in her car seat.

That same woman that supported him for months, was there for him when he was at his worst and he felt like he was failing his daughter. That same woman that showed him he actually was a really good father and that he just had to show her differently. That same woman that showed him that he still had a chance at love, maybe even real love this time. Because the more Minseo revealed this ugly side about herself, the more he couldn’t help but remember things from the past that she did to him, that a person who loved another never would have done..

He realized it then, as he saw you put Mei first. As he saw you do what every real mother should do.

Minseo wasn't Mei's mother.

You were.

“Oh please..” she laughed as you closed the car door and walked back to Yoongi, “Don't tell me you've actually fallen in love with the nanny.”

“I have,” he said without a doubt and right away, more certain than ever before, “I have,” he repeated a little slower, as he was now looking at you, who was just staring at him in disbelief.

“Yoongi, I..-”

“I love you, (Y/N),” you could see how his breathing quickened and a second later, he was in front of you and had grabbed your face to pull you against him and kiss you. At first you were a little overwhelmed with emotions, not knowing whether to push him away, cry or kiss him back. As happy as you were to hear him say it, you couldn’t just forget everything that had happened these past weeks. But maybe, maybe this was the first step towards reconciilation. So you let out a sigh and just relaxed, let the love of your life kiss you, like you had wanted him to when Minseo first arrived.

Better late than never, right?

And the next thing you both heard, was Mei pushing open the car door and scream: “I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU LOVED HER DADDY!” both of you chuckled, as you watched her dance around your legs, before she innocently asked: “Can I say a bad word?”

Yoongi didn't think straight, his eyes locked back with yours and a happy smile on his face, otherwise he would have said no.

And maybe he should have when Mei suddenly turned around and yelled: “YOU MOTHERFUCKING BITCH!” at Minseo.

You waited in the hallway, after Yoongi had tucked her in, a tired smile on your face when he leaned down to kiss your nose.

“You know.. as happy as I am about this.. I still want us to talk again. About everything.”

“I know,” he sighed and leaned his forehead against yours, “I'll apologize for everything and I'll make up for everything. I promise.”

“I trust you, Min Yoongi,” you wrapped your arms around his neck, “But please don’t let me down again.”

“I’ve learnt from my mistakes,” he pulled you back in for another kiss, that turned into two, then three and before you knew it, you two stumbled into his bedroom, giggling like teenagers.

If only you knew that Minseo wouldn’t just give up like that..-

“Exactly what is it that you want me to do?” the man leaned forward on his elbows.

“Ruin him,” Minseo said in a cold voice, “I want you to completely ruin him and his career. I want him to lose everything. His job, Mei.. I want him to lose.. her. (Y/N). I want him to be alone. And I want him to have nothing left in the end.”

The man laughed and nodded, “They don't call me the best of the world for no reason... If in doubt,” he winked at her, saying his usual catch phrase “Call Kim Seokjin.”

Fluffy One Shots

Fics to make you smile

Sorted by length

Last updated 2/7/19 (new fics indicated)

Fight me? - 'Fight me,' the high voice quipped from under the mountain of pillows, and Harry let out a chuckle, snapping his mouth shut immediately because what was he doing?? The anesthesia must still be wearing off. Harry walked up to the patient again, bemused, and tugged at the pillow, but the person had a surprisingly strong grip on them. Again, with more annoyance in his tone, he said, 'fight me.' Or, Harry is a nurse, to a slightly loopy and sassy Louis. (one shot, 1k) added 1/14/18

Where All Our Colours Come Together -  Uni AU in which Harry is a law student, studying out in the park to get some fresh air. He is interrupted by a cute boy who wants to draw him. (one shot, 1k) added 4/30/18

Breathe For Me - “Harry Styles?” A voice called out, and Harry blinked in shock as he was assaulted by a sweet, luscious scent. There was an omega standing in the doorway, and his looks certainly matched his smell. Or, Harry is an alpha with a severe phobia of needles, and Louis is the cute omega phlebotomist who needs to get a blood sample from him. (one shot, 1k) added 1/14/18

tastes like you, only sweeter - “Oops."Louis raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Hi.”“You're Louis. Niall talks about you all the time.”Louis makes a noise in the back of his throat. “And you're loud as hell, making cookies in the fucking kitchen at arse o’clock in the morning,” the boy winces again, green eyes shining in guilt at the older boy. “This is the first I'm hearing of you.”“It's Harry, actually,” he says good naturedly, dumping the dirty flour in the trash and turning to the sink to wash his hands. “But I like that nickname, too.”-Based off of the tumblr prompt "You’re baking cookies in the communal kitchen at 3am and I’m angry but also really hungry" (one shot, 2k) added 4/30/18

❤ For Effort - When Harry Styles lets his team down during gym class, resulting everyone having to run laps, he expects the worst. But the backlash never comes.Harry's crush, Louis Tomlinson, may or may not have something to do with that. (one shot, 2k)

i can’t breathe (without you as mine) - It's slightly strange that Harry doesn't recognize him but Louis doesn't really mind because for some reason that's a mystery to him, Harry still somehow seems to be smitten with him. or, the one where Harry just had surgery and is at the mercy of anesthetics and Louis is having far too much fun video taping Harry's initial reaction to seeing him. (one shot, 2k) added 1/14/18

Whisk You Away - "Okay, so you met your high school crush, Harry Stills--" "Styles." "Not for long," Niall said in a sing-song tone, and Louis threw a chip at his face. It landed on top of his head. Niall grabbed it and put it in his mouth. "Anyway, so he is getting married tomorrow and invites you to help him bake a cake." "Mhmm." "And you accept. You can’t bake. And you can’t even make pancakes...Bravo." Or...Louis is quick at assuming the worst, only for the best thing to happen.  (one shot, 2k)

kiss me under the light of a thousand stars - Harry is a hopeless romantic. Once, when he was younger, he lit a path of candles in a park by his girlfriend's house. But when he had called her out, she said it was too dark outside and she wasn’t coming out. That may or may not have been the last time Harry did anything nice for her. But this -- this is different. He isn’t fourteen anymore and he isn’t trying to impress a girl.No, this is for Louis. Louis, who is twenty-five and precious and so, so important to Harry. He would do anything for Louis. That is why Harry is going to propose to him.~~~Or, the AU where Harry and Louis take stargazing to the next level and maybe a proposal takes place under the stars (one shot, 2k) added 1/14/18

The Weirdest Bloody Ice Cream Shop - Harry made eye contact with Lou and noticed his eyes were very blue. “Well…” Harry started. “Because you have the same name as this shop. It’s a shop rule that everyone named Lou gets free fro-yo.” Lou's lips turned up very slightly at each end. He was rather pretty when he wasn’t yelling at Harry. “Neat rule,” Lou said. “Too bad my name is Louis.” And with that Louis (not Lou) shoved a £10 note in the tip jar and walked out of Lou’s Frozen Yoghurt with his probable sister. Probably forever. Harry sighed and looked at his watch. He had two hours left before he could close up, and, as it would turn out, he thought about the cute, angry boy named Louis for most of them. OR the frozen yoghurt au in which harry accidentally accuses louis of wanting to date a 5 year old and louis keeps calling frozen yoghurt ice cream (one shot, 3k)

In the Cards -  When Zayn has an emergency & needs to leave the metaphysical store he works at, a very clueless Louis must give a not-so-clueless Harry a tarot reading. At least he's got improv skills, right? (one shot, 3k, humor) added 2/7/19

Heart Beats Like the Speed of Light - Harry goes as a guest to Nick Grimshaw's Breakfast Radio show and he plays a game where he is connected to a heart monitor. Things get complicated when Louis appears. Or the one where Harry just goes crazy everytime he sees Louis. (one shot, 3k) added 7/27/18

(one shot, 4k) added 1/14/18

took my heart upon a one way trip - in which, louis needs help with a poetry assignment and harry can't stop staring at the pretty boy who walked into his bookshop. the other three are in there too. (one shot, 4k)

you just gotta have faith - “You know, sometimes I was so scared. I thought I’d never get the chance,” Louis said quietly, squeezing Harry’s fingers and shaking his hair out of his eyes. “The chance to do what, Lou?” Harry asked looking curiously at the boy walking backwards in front of him while holding both of his hands. “The chance to love you,” he replied quietly. “But now we’ve been together for two whole years Haz, can you believe it? I always knew in my heart that you were it for me, you know? You were always the silver lightning in everything, the one person I’d always look for, the one I have always wanted to come back to, no matter what. You have always been my best friend, and I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to call you my boyfriend, to share my life with you. How crazy is it? You make me so strong and you make my life so much better, baby.” Or the one in which Harry and Louis met four years ago, have now been dating for two whole years and Louis is ready to take their relationship to the next level. Alternatively, the one in which they adopt a dog. (one shot, 4k) added 2/7/19

and if i may just take your breath away - Harry doesn’t know why, but in that moment he wants nothing more than to see Louis smile. So he thinks for a minute, and then pulls out his best joke, the one that makes Harper laugh in a second flat whenever she’s sad. “I’ve got to tell you the best joke! Okay, so, why did the football coach go to the bank?” he waits for Louis’ weary shake of the head, the tiniest smile peeking from the corners of his mouth. “To get his quarter back!” or, Single Parent Harry loses his six year old daughter in a corn maze and embarks on an adventurous adventure with single parent Louis to find her. Also, Harper is a matchmaker in disguise. (one shot, 4k) added 1/14/18

Only Reason - “We are so lucky to have with us one of the leading experts on beekeeping in the modern age, Dr. Louis Draper.” No. No, no, no… “I know I speak for many of us when I say that this man’s books have guided our practice, or helped us get started,” Harry continued, and Louis watched as the crowd nodded their heads in agreement. Oh shit. No. What? No. But then Harry was gesturing towards him, saying “Dr. Draper?” into the microphone, the crowd was applauding, and Louis found himself walking up the stairs to the stage. Or, Louis is most definitely smitten with Harry from the second he sees him, but he is also most definitely not the world's foremost expert on beekeeping. He decides to roll with it anyway.  (one shot, 5k)

Sympathy For The Devil - Louis keeps stealing some of Harry’s mail, which would be annoying for anyone, but it’s especially troubling when you consider that Harry is Santa Claus. Harry will have to go through hell to get Louis to stop. Literally.Or the one with Santa Harry and Satan Louis and a series of misspelled letters to Santa. (one shot, 5k, it seems like it should be a crack fic but it isn’t really, part of a series) added 4/30/18

I made a map of your stars - Harry does not have a crush on Louis Tomlinson. Yes, Louis is very pretty and funny, and Harry may have had more than a few inappropriate thoughts about him, but he certainly doesn’t like him. (Except for the fact that he totally does.) or, Harry is the shy boy in the back of the class that no one really notices. Louis is the loud, outgoing football player that everybody likes.  (one shot, 5k)

Accidentally On My Way To Loving You - “So,” H said, “Who are you.”Louis froze. The fork nearly slipped from his hand. So this was it then. The jig was up. Louis would have to admit that he’d stumbled into the wrong party and that, after seeing H, hadn’t wanted to leave. Louis would be kicked out, never to see H again. And who could blame him. He sounded like a total creeper. If the roles had been reversed....Louis wouldn’t blame H for never wanting anything to do with him ever again. Louis arrives at the wrong party, and finds he never wants to leave.  (one shot, 5k) added 2/7/19

Peace So Sweet -  Louis is visiting another pack. On his quest to find the guest room he finds a nesting omega instead. (one shot, 5k) added 4/30/18

you make my whole world feel right when it’s wrong - “Curly?” Louis says, stepping into Harry’s sight. “You okay?” Harry looks up from where he has two things in his hands, a thick winter coat sized for a newborn, and a sweatshirt fitting a grown man such as himself. He looks up at Louis, stricken, and holds them out for him to see. “They’re the same price,” he says. “They’re both forty dollars! Forty dollars for such little material.” (or, Harry is pregnant and stops at the mall to buy cheap baby clothes. Louis has extra money from working a long shift, and he can't think of a better way to spend it than on him.)  (one shot, 6k)

The Stories That I Can’t Explain -  “Are you closing?” the woman asked, rushing into Louis' store. “I just have to pick something up!” “I’m really sorry, but if you come back on Tuesday, we’ll be opening again at normal time,” Louis told her, trying to get her out of the shop. “No, please! I-” The woman dropped her head, and Louis watched in horror as she started crying. He didn’t do well with tears. “Please, I just have to pick up a ring, it’s- It’s for my brother, and he’s well… He’s dying. And it’s really important that I get it.” Louis could feel his mouth drop open even farther than it already had been. “Um…” Just then, a man walked into the store. He took one look at the woman and rolled his eyes. “Gemma, you haven’t told another stranger that I’m dying, have you?” he asked. The woman, Gemma apparently, turned to face him. “Of course I didn’t, Harry,” she said. --- Or, the one where no one is actually dying, but Gemma likes to lie about Harry's livelihood to get what she wants. Harry isn't amused. Louis kind of is, though. (one shot, 6k, funny) added 4/30/18

Twelfth Night -  Queen Anne holds a masquerade ball to try and find matches for both her children on Twelfth Night. While anonymity reigns, Prince Harry spends the ball getting to know a handsome stranger. (one shot, 6k, light angst) added 2/7/19

Not the Desperate Type - “First of all, I’d like to tell you how disturbing it is that you’re this familiar with your neighbor’s sex life,” Liam said, amusement lacing his tone. “Fuck off,” Louis said, laughing. “Second, that is really very sad. How bad is the stomping? Are you sure your neighbor doesn’t like it fast like that?” “With the amount of cleaning the guy does, I think he’s taking out his sexual frustration on the cleanliness of his apartment. I can’t imagine the guy makes enough mess to require daily vacuuming.” It sounded like the guy was actually moving furniture above him as he was sweeping now. Damn. Did Louis miss the seven minutes in heaven or was the guy angry because he didn’t even get that much pleasure today? “I’m kinda afraid with the amount of noise he produces while cleaning that one day I’m gonna look up through my ceiling and be able to see him.” “Tell him we wish him a better sex life and that we’re rooting for him if you do.” Or the one where Louis' neighbor has a series of unfortunately short sexual experiences and Louis can hear every. Single. One. (one shot, 6k) added 4/30/18

Lovin’ It Up - What did Niall know? This had nothing to do with the few times (okay, countless times) Louis had pined over the idea of Hot Neighbor while drinking. Nothing at all. So what if he had perfect lips and long legs and the cutest little curls around his ears? Certainly not Louis.He continued to scribble away, most of his words indiscernible except for one written in large letters at the very top of the napkin: REVENGE Or, a neighbors AU in which Louis vows to get revenge on the guy who didn't hold the elevator for him - no matter how ridiculously attractive he may be. (one shot, 6k, this made me laugh) added 1/14/18

come on, jump out at me - Harry is a witch from a long line of power, an ancient line that’s one of the strongest left alive in their hemisphere. He can cast spells without a word if need be, fly on a broomstick, and has a black cat (a kitten, really) named Felix that is his animal familiar. He can shape galaxies in his cupped hands and can destroy them just as easily. He can choose exactly how to use his power, for encouragement and support, or for more nefarious causes if he wishes to. And as fate would have it, he’s scared of haunted houses. (Harry is a witch who carries around a stuffed pumpkin, Louis is a vampire with too much time on his hands, and their best mates Zayn & Niall aren't exactly what they seem...)  (one shot, 7k, part of a continuing and very good series)

Fake It Till We Make It - #33- Keeping up with the Neighbors“We can fake it.”What?“What?” “You heard me.” “No I did not. Say it again.” “I said” Harry started slowly, “We can fake having sex to teach them a lesson.” It was clear to say that Louis's mouth went a little dry at the suggestion. Or ,Their neighbours were a bit too loud during their bedroom activities and Harry comes up with the worst plan to shut them up. Louis agrees anyways. (one shot, 7k, pretty smutty also) added 2/7/19

I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm -  Louis takes a deep breath, and replies very quickly to get it over with, “Well, see, I don’t have any heat in my flat right now and it’s hard enough to go to sleep when I’m bloody freezing—” “Oh god. And my music’s gone and made it even worse,” Harry cuts in. “Well, it only went out today,” Louis explains, “So it wasn’t that bad before, erm. Now.” “Before?” Harry asks, horrified. “How long has this been?” “Oh, erm,” Louis folds his hands where they hang in front of him and admits, “All week.” Harry visibly wilts. He looks so sad, it makes Louis feel awful. He’s gone and crushed someone’s Christmas spirit. Some beautiful boy who looks like Danny Zuko is sad now and it’s Louis’ fault, which means he doesn’t stand a chance at being the cute neighbor from the floor below. And now he’s going to have to sleep in his freezing cold flat knowing he may as well have ruined Christmas. Or, Louis' heat is out, Harry's a terrible upstairs neighbor, and an empty Christmas tree is the perfect excuse to fall in love. (one shot, 7k) added 4/30/18

Worth a Thousand Words - “Look, I’m learning some new stuff!” My name is Louis. My favorite color is green. I like movies. Do you know sign language?Harry huffed grumpily. Why are you learning sign language? “Because, I want to be able to talk to you.” Louis looked small, gripping tightly at the steering wheel. Why?    You’re my friend. Louis signed shakily, having to try it a few times before getting it right. And well, Harry just snapped. We’re not friends. I don’t know what makes you think that we’re okay but we’re not. You stopped being my friend once you found out that I went deaf. I don’t know if this is your way of ‘making up for it’ or if you think that hanging out with the deaf guy and learning a bit of sign language is your ‘kind deed’ to the world but I don’t want to be your charity case and I don’t want to be your friend. or Harry went deaf at 5 years old and Louis just wants the chance be heard. (one shot, 7k, bit of angst but mostly fluff)

Always Fearless in Love - Harry Styles is the international popstar who refuses to remove his lipstick just minutes before a live performance. Louis Tomlinson is the tragic intern stuck with the job of wiping it off. Chaos ensues. (one shot, 7k) added 1/14/18

Moon Wrapped in Gold Paper - Louis deadass just stared, willing himself to play it cool, to play it natural, to not look too shocked. So he lifted the apple to his lips and took a huge bite. His mouth, his entire life, his very soul instantly filled with regret. The roommate’s eyes widened in something akin to horror as Louis continued to chew the massive bite of red onion currently in his mouth. “Uh….” “Louis!” Liam called, coming down from the hallway and into the kitchen.Louis continued to chew the onion, trying to smile around his current mouthful of solid, rancid….“Is….that….an….onion?” The first time Louis meets Harry, several things go very wrong. (one shot, 7k, bit of angst) added 2/7/19

Take The Bitter With The Sweet - “They did not,” Louis said in the midst of laughing, which had now turned more of hiccup giggles. The name resembled Liam’s shop name, differing by just one word even if it boasted a whole other specialty. “They did not just name their shop too similar to yours.” “They fucking did!” Liam exclaimed as he slammed his hand against the counter so hard that the drawers shook. “They have the audacity to open a coffee shop right in front of mine and steal my shop name and customers. They serve ‘gluten free’ hipster stuff and ‘kale smoothies’ or whatever, which is mocking my food I feel. The name taunts me. I can’t fucking believe.” Liam recruits Louis to spy on the 'rival cafe', which Louis is less than enthusiastic about but it does lead him Harry, the pretty barista who works there. (one shot, 7k) added 2/7/19

Dream About That Casual Touch - And that was the first thing Louis noticed about her. Not her nipples, or not only her nipples, anyway, but the fact that she was so confident with her body and didn’t seem to care that her tits were sort of soft and floppy and uneven or that she had a little roll of pudge around her hips that poked over the top of her jeans when she wore crop tops. She wore what she wanted to wear whether or not it was in fashion or technically even flattering; her hair was always messy, she only wore makeup half the time, and she seemed to like heeled boots even if she was already fairly tall and they made her tower over the boys. Louis always thought it was so fucking sexy how unconcerned Harry seemed with what people thought of her, how comfortable she was in her own skin. That by itself seemed like a sort-of gay thing, so Louis kept a remote, careful eye on her, hoping to one day see something else that blipped her radar.---Or, Louis and Harry fuck up two dates before they finally get it right. (one shot, 7k, genderswap, includes smut) added 7/27/18

Sweet Creature - It's year 2019 and it's the final night of Harry's third solo world tour. Louis and Harry had spend a nice day together and the pictures of that outing where everywhere, as per usual. But they were out, happy and in love, so it didn't matter. The only thing what mattered to Louis at that moment was the fact that Harry had been acting weird all day. Was it just nervousness because of his last concert? Or something else? Or the one where Harry and Louis have been publicly together for a year and Harry is finally going to ask Louis to marry him. (one shot, 8k) added 4/30/18

You Came Along And Moved Me, Honey - Louis was gone for Harry from the moment they met, already planning their wedding and picking out rings in his head, and after months of living in each other's pockets they knew almost everything about each other. The one thing Louis didn't know about Harry was what he did for a living. Faced with vague answers and question-evading, Louis begins to imagine scandalous and dangerous secrets that Harry must be keeping - but maybe Harry's secrets aren't so sinister after all. In which Louis thinks Harry's hiding a life of crime and Harry just really likes candles. (one shot, 8k) added 7/27/18

Tentatively - The whole university was anxiously waiting for the final weeks of the semester to wrap up, the taste of the summer already hanging sweetly and tempting in the air. Harry was right there in the thick of it all, getting distracted by the very same feline-born he had been crushing on ever since the beginning of uni. Harry had absolutely no plans to ever approach the boy. Ever. But clearly the Universe (or the boy) wasn't a fan of Harry having any control over his own damn life. -Or, Louis is a feline-born, and Harry’s big dumb crush on him is so massive he doesn’t know what to do with himself. (one shot, 8k)

A Christmas Wish - "So when are you going to tell him?" Louis pursed his lips at his sister, his Skype video call relaying his thoughts on that subject perfectly. "Next question," he mused. Lottie rolled her eyes. "It's your birthday in four days, Louis." "What difference does that make?" He scoffed. She shrugged."You can get drunk and confess how you feel and take it back afterwards if he doesn't feel the same." That might work if Louis wasn't in love with Harry. But Lottie didn't know that and she didn't need to find out. "Thanks Lots," he said anyway. "Seriously Lou what's stopping you?" Louis sighed."Fear mostly." (one shot, 8k) added 1/14/18

Love Is a Kitten from Hell - Louis Tomlinson passes himself off as an arrogant prick at his new school to hide the fact that he's terrified of being bullied again. Just when he's getting tired of putting up walls, he finds himself in a local pet shop where he finds a sanctuary playing with the kittens in the front window. Harry Styles is the popular football player who works at the pet shop, secretly watching the boy he thought was utterly unlikable prove him wrong. Partnered together for a class project, Harry gets more and more hints that Louis is actually someone worth getting to know. But the real question is, will Louis let Harry in?(one shot, 8k)

A Pun-derful Life - Falling in love with his best friend was never part of the plan, but it happened. It keeps happening; Over and over again on a daily basis. Sometimes, even that’s too long between falling in love. Or, Harry and Louis use too many puns as a means to make each other laugh. (one shot 8k) added 2/7/19

When the Lion Met the Fawn - Maybe lions are meant to hunt fawns, but in this case was the fawn who hunted the lion. (Or the one where Louis Tomlinson is a natural fighter without a fight and Harry Styles is a fawn hybrid too scared to stay but even more scared to run away. He gives Louis a reason to fight for)  (one shot, 9k)

From Vanilla to Jasmine -  Louis could just tell Harry that he was only looking for scents because Zayn had told him to get to the store and not return until he found something that would stop making their apartment smell like ‘the inside of Bob Marley’s underwear drawer.’ But that just would've been too easy. --- Basically, the AU where Harry loves incense and thinks that Louis does, too. But really, Louis just buys it to cover up the smell of his weed. (one shot, 9k, tiny bit of angst at the end but it’s mostly fluff and humor) added 1/14/18

Only Been Here One Time - “Good morning, Liam. Harry.” Louis nods at them both and then cocks his head. “Are you aware you have four nipples, Harry?” Harry looks down at his chest, suddenly worried. He doesn’t know how many nipples humans have, but four must not be a usual amount. “Should I have six?” “Not unless you’ve a litter of kittens to feed.” (one shot, 9k, crack fic) added 2/7/19

but he can’t be what you need (if he’s eighteen) - “I need you to do something for me.” Harry said, pinching his bottom lip between his thumb and forefinger. “It seems like you’re asking me to kill for you, H.” Louis laughed nervously. “It’s nothing that drastic, I promise. It’s just. I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m not a.. normal eighteen year old.” Louis furrowed his eyebrows at that, narrowing his eyes at the younger boy. “Are people giving you a hard time?” Louis wondered. Harry shifted in his seat and brushed some of his fringe off his forehead. “Yeah, that’s. That’s kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.” Harry swallowed nervously. He could feel the sweat pooling at his hairline so he wiped it with the sleeve of his sweater. “I need you to uhm, pretend to be my boyfriend.” or the one where harry is sick of getting bullied and casts louis as the hot punk boyfriend to scare them away. louis needs harry to return the favor. punk!louis and flowerchild!harry (one shot, 10k)

Tell Me What You Want - Based on the following prompt: "Harry is looking for a new roommate after Liam moves in with his girlfriend. After a few bad dates he’s done with men for the moment and wants to concentrate on school. That’s why he’s looking for a female or a straight male roomie. When Niall tells Louis about the free room he leaves that little detail out. Louis, desperately looking for a room, pretends to be straight, thinking it would be easy, until he discovers that Harry likes to be naked at home. His best female friend posing as his girlfriend doesn’t work very well either." (one shot, 10k) added 1/14/18

Heaven Fun Over There? - “Fuck!” he cursed the moment his head emerged, hands flailing over his head and startling a few birds that had gathered around him. He was still light enough to float on water, even with his angel wings reduced to something transparent and small. Probably like the wings of a dragonfly. “I hate earth. Bloody soil and water.” “Unfortunate, isn’t it?” a voice said and Louis found the faint form of his friend sitting on the grass a little away from the banks, legs crossed and a wide grin on his face. His wings were sprawling beside him, the white getting caught in the faint sunlight and glinting. “Since you’re covered in both at the moment.” Louis is an angel temporarily banished from heaven and Harry can't stop making angel jokes around him, not knowing that Louis is an actual angel. (one shot, 11k, somewhat of a crack fic) added 2/7/19

Love You To Want Me - “Remember when you had that collection of braces? I think about four of them in different colours?” Louis nodded, pursing his lips before he searched the bottom of the closet and found one of them. He didn’t know where the rest of it had gone but he was sure it was there somewhere. Honestly, his closet could be the entryway to Narnia. The one he grabbed was the red one, the one which usually went with his red jeans. He looked at Niall from the corner of his eyes, noting his excited expression. “They were lying unused for so long. Do you think that I should wear all of them and see if it suits me?” “YES!” Niall exclaimed and jumped up and stood with his hands raised in the air. Niall coerces Louis into doing 'spring cleaning', which is basically cleaning their flat which leads to Louis finding the pair of braces he used to wear back in early Uni days. Harry, Niall's bandmate has a strange but visible reactions to the braces. (one shot, 11k) added 7/27/18

set alight my veins - If Liam really thinks it's funny to send him on a surprise date with a tattooed, leather wearing punk then Harry's going to have words with him later. When he's managed to stop staring at the guy across from him.-Harry's quiet and shy and does all his homework. Louis drives motorbikes and never turns up to school. Their respective friends think they'd be a cute couple. (one shot, 11k)

Cling To Me - "What do you want, Niall?" Louis figured he may as well get to the crux of the issue since Niall was known to argue from sun up to sun down until he got his way. "I've got a friend." Louis frowned. "Are you setting me up? Because no offence but-" "No I'm not fucking setting you up!" Niall cut over him, sending him an accusing look. "Don't be so disgusting." Louis sighed and folded his arms."My friend. He's...well he's a hybrid. A half breed human. He's not a slave or a pet and he doesn't really need anything but-" Louis peered at him. There was always a but. (one shot, 12k, locked) added 1/14/18

Don’t delete the kisses - “No way I am doing it!” Louis exclaimed.“Louis, it’s on the list, you have to!” Liam still felt extra cheerful, even though Louis was already starting to get on his nerves.“Fuck it, fuck the list, I’m not going to sing ‘Let it Go’ at Tesco in front of everybody!” Louis was still staring at his bucket list with a deep frown on his face. Liam made sure to not laugh; this was all too enjoyable.“Louis, if you start by picking and choosing what you’re going to do and what you’re not going to do, what’s even the point of writing each other a summer bucket list?” Or Louis and Liam have a bucket list to complete during their last summer together and Harry is the too cute for his own good beautician that appears in Louis’ life at the right time. (one shot, 12k) added 7/27/18

Talk Dirty To Me - They were both naked. And that seemed, again, like a catastrophically bad idea, but here they were anyway. Naked. In the dark. Only a few feet apart.It hadn’t even been a discussion. The minute Harry flipped the lights off, they’d both shucked out of their clothes as if they’d been on fire. “Alright darling,” Louis said, his hand wrapped loosely around his own cock. “Just remember, start slow. Lots of descriptions. Light on the hygiene, heavy on the compliments. You’ve got this.” As if Harry were about to compete in some kind of athletic game. __Or the one where Harry is absolutely terrible at dirty talk so he asks his best friend to teach him. And the one where Louis knows it's a catastrophically bad idea but agrees anyway. (one shot, 13k, there’s a lot of smut, but it’s still very fluffy) added 1/14/18

i can’t help myself from how my heart is racing -  Louis is just trying to be a good friend by working out at the gym that Liam owns. He never expected to (quite literally) run into Harry, the hot boxer who sings embarrassing songs in the locker room showers. (one shot, 13k) added 2/7/19

LoveJoy - “Dance-mat!” Liam voted. “Guitar hero,” Zayn chirped up. “What about a game of Trivial Pursuit?” The voice was deeply serious and even Louis grinned as Harry leaned forward in his seat. Three faces scoffed. “Jesus, Hazza, live a little,” Niall teased. “Is that what a wild night is like for geeks?” Zayn wondered. “No, that would be more along the lines of driving out to the middle of nowhere and camping in a field to study the interstellar medium of the Orion Nebula,” Harry quipped with a little, happy smile. (one shot, 13k, some angst I guess, locked) added 4/30/18

It’ll Be -  Louis has always wanted children and he decides he's done waiting for love to come first. However, after adopting a baby girl just days after she's born, he quickly realizes how hard parenting is. Louis hires Harry to be his Nanny, and it all works out great. Until Louis falls in love with him. (one shot, 13k) added 1/14/18

Lose Myself in Time - Reason #15: The chance to show your childhood bed some action. When Harry is sixteen years old he works as an intern at his favorite theater in the world nestled up in the mountains of rural Vermont. He takes one look at the older, more mature, Assistant Master Electrician Louis Tomlinson and falls in love. From afar. Ten years later a terrible storm hits the village, and the theater asks for any and all former staff members to pitch in for the clean up. Harry takes some time off work and returns to help, only to find himself in the presence of his old crush once again. (one shot, 14k, small amount of angst) added 1/14/18

when you kiss me heaven sighs -  University AU where they have a morning class together and Louis always walks in late and has obviously just woken up and Harry thinks that the grumpy person who sits in front of him is the cutest thing ever. He's trying to keep his fond stares to a minimum. It's a work in progress. (one shot, 14k) added 7/27/18

Hold My Heart - “Excuse me, mate, I’m the window seat here.” The voice was soft, apologetic, and accented in something a bit unfamiliar — northern England, maybe, Harry thought. “Oh,” Harry jumped to his feet and moved aside, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you standing there.” The other man laughed as he swung a bag into the overhead compartment and slid into the seat. “You were well caught up in that book, mate. What are you reading?” Harry paused, wondering how to explain the fact that he was reading an epic and x-rated romance that was the story of a relationship between a prince and the man he’d enslaved. “Oh, you know, just some fiction my sister recommended.” He turned to look at the man and froze.Sitting next to him was Louis Tomlinson.*** Or, the one where famous Louis Tomlinson offers his hand and a lot more to his seat mate on a transatlantic flight. (one shot, 14k)

Saw It In Your Eyes - Harry Styles counts himself extremely lucky that he has landed such a great roommate. It doesn’t bother him at all that his new roommate is gay. In fact, they get along so well that they have formed an extremely close friendship that takes up pretty much all his free time. When Louis starts bringing a new guy home with him, Harry is surprised by how much it bothers him. Is he not as okay as he thought he was with Louis’ sexuality? Or the one where Harry is an oblivious walnut. (one shot, 15k, there’s some angst but the story it’s based on is super cute) added 4/30/18

In All Its Imperfections - From: Louis Tomlinson To: Undisclosed Recipients Hello! I’ve asked the front desk and you lovely folks are the ones who are on the same level as me in the car park. I found a to-do list today that looked somewhat important because it has lines of poetry scribbled at the bottom that seemed like they might be for a card project. The stationary has a moose in a canoe at the top of it (and he is quite adorable). Let me know if it’s yours! Cheers! “Oh. My. Fucking. God,” Harry whispered, his eyes darting over the sentences again willing them not to make sense. They did, they did make sense. “Oh. My. Bloody. Fucking. God.” The next thing he knew he was on the floor, staring at the ceiling, with a very concerned Liam hovering over his head. "What happened, mate?" Liam asked.Harry just pointed to his computer. Liam bent over Harry’s desk to read the email. “What? This isn’t bad. Is that your to-do list? Did you finally come up with the inside text for those cards?” “Leeyum" he groaned. “It’s what’s on the list.” “Oh,” Liam paused for a beat. “Is it dirty stuff?” Harry nodded.There was more silence. And then, “Dirty stuff with Louis?”  (one shot, 15k, very funny) added 1/14/18

The Edge of the Stars - Louis laughed. “You think you can convince some random guy to want to go out with me?” “Oh baby,” Jay chuckled. “I can convince all of the UK to want to go out with you.” Or, a Meet the Parents AU where Harry is the man of Louis’ dreams, and it’s up to Jay to convince him to date her son. (one shot, 16k)

An Ever-Fixed Mark - Louis has zero chance of passing Literature. At least without a tutor who knows Shakespeare well enough to recite it as if those words were his own. And he finds just that, and a lot more, in Marcel. The course of true love never did run smooth. But is it worth it? (one shot, 16k, definitely some angst) added 2/7/19

Pi Time - Harry, 20. Less Than 1 Mile Away, Active 1 minute ago. I think when it comes down to it, I’m just looking for someone supportive. That’s all I really need in life. I know this is an app, but we can find people in all the most obscure places ☺ -H.S or Hot, hipster Harry from Tinder is nothing like Louis expected. (one shot, 16k) added 4/30/18

the love is ours to make (so we should make it) - “I’m.. Harry. I nanny? For Ernest and Doris?” Harry responded. “A nanny? How old even are you? You look twelve.” Louis remarked. Something caught Louis’ eye, and a closer look revealed that Harry had a coat of pink nail polish on his fingers. “Nineteen. I’m nineteen.” Harry replied. “Right. Nineteen, wears pink, flower crowns and paints his nails. Who the actual fuck did my mum hire?” or the one where louis takes some time off from life to return home, only to be met with a strange boy in pink and a flowercrown as the nanny of his siblings.  (one shot, 19k, some sad parts but still really cute, please check for trigger warnings)

Heart Without A Home - Louis is staying at the shelter when a late entry pulls at his conscience and he decides to share his precious bed with the mysterious Harry. The pair somehow find an instant bond but Louis can't help but feel Harry is hiding something...Featuring Zayn as a chef, Perrie as the shelter manager and Liam as a helper- and Louis' best mate.  (one shot, 20k, this is kind of angsty but it still made me smile)

Sing You Butterflies - Louis stares for a moment before some primal sympathetic force in him activates. He has to help this boy. He can hardly walk, and he seems so young (yet ageless, beyond age, like a sea turtle or a parrot or a tree or something else odd and magical), and on top of all that, he has body glitter clinging to his skin, like that roll-on stuff his sisters used to use as preteens, only pink-gold and twice as thick. It’s, like, professional grade. He’s also wearing grass- and dirt-stained pink silk women’s underwear, so maybe he’s from London. Maybe he’s a drag queen who crawled all the way from a nightclub in Soho just to save Louis from his horribly mundane and woefully heterosexual neighbours out here in the middle of nowhere.---or, Harry’s a clumsy unicorn who accidentally stomps on a witch’s garden and is turned into a human as punishment, so he wanders into a nearby village covered in glitter, still figuring out how to walk on two feet, and meets the fairy-tale-fine Louis, who has to teach him how to live as a human and stop him from eating soap. (one shot, 22k, kind of a crack fic? but still very good) added 7/27/18

Away With The Fairies - Harry liked pretty things. Mostly the ornate flowers that grew around him, the trees majestically climbing towards the sky, sometimes the little colourful birds that flitted around in the branches of those trees. Harry's wings themselves were considered beautiful, big butterfly-like shaped things glistening pink in the light but white underneath, almost translucent. He fluttered them behind him, feeling the breeze brushing off them. He was high up where he could see the most, studiously watching the human life on the ground below. He shouldn't be here of course, he was beyond the borders of the part of the forest where his kind lived, but he couldn't help it. Because Harry had found the prettiest thing of all. (one shot, 22k, locked, you should read everything by this author)

faith, trust and pixie dust (and a little bit of something else too)** - “Are you seriously apologizing for taking out a bullet that was lodged in my shoulder and saving my life?” he asks slowly. “Y—yes?” the boy looks unsure of himself now. “Marry me—” For once, the boy isn’t the only one blushing and Louis silently curses Earthen terminology for making its way into his vocabulary. Taking a deep breath to regain his composure, he coughs out, “I mean thanks. That was very nice of you…?” “Harry,” the boy fills in quietly, flashing Louis a tentative smile. Louis thinks it suits him well and he mouths the name to himself, liking the way it rolls off his tongue. He watches as Harry hesitates before asking his own question, albeit doubtfully. “And you’re—you’re P—Peter Pan, right?” Or, the one in which Louis is a punk Peter Pan and Harry is an insecure flower child.  (one shot, 27k, quite a bit of angst but Harry’s character was too cute for me to not include)

Whiskeyed Me Off My Feet - It was the twenty-eighth time he'd been in....the guy with the stunning smile. The fact he also had incredibly beautiful eyes and this mischievous little purse to his lips when his eyes crinkled was a small detail. The fact he had lovely features and the longest eye-lashes Harry had ever seen-well that was a minor observation. The fact he was kind of small and would fit perfectly in Harry's arms?He had a lot of interest in that, definitely. But he was with someone. The beautiful one was taken.Well, of course, Harry arched a brow cynically. He was beautiful, of course he was going to be taken. (one shot, 27k, locked, some angst, by my fav author!!!) added 7/27/18

with your love we could breathe underwater - Harry’s brow furrows, a look of confusion spreading over his face. “But I am real. I exist, see,” he says, raising a hand out of the water and wiggling his fingers at Louis. Louis finds himself relaxing a bit. Harry seems harmless really. And he’s quite cute, for something that’s not supposed to exist. If Louis is indeed having a hallucination right now, at least it’s a cute one. AU where Harry is a mermaid, Louis is a human, and they both discover a lot more than they anticipated. (one shot, 28k)

28. Has your school ever had a lockdown? If so, for what reason exactly? Okay so when I was in highschool I was in music class in a classroom attached to the gym which is slightly separated from the rest of the school. We were watching lord of the rings bc we were learning about film soundtracks. One girl had gone outside, walked all the way around to the bathrooms at the back of the gym and come back. It was just after she got back that one of the groundskeepers came into our class and was like “what the hell are you guys doing?? You know the whole school is on lockdown, right? Didn’t you hear the alarms? Get under your desks!”  So we were all like “um wtf??” and got under our desks and turned the movie off. We peered out the windows across to the carpark and there was a bunch of cop cars with their lights on. Turns out there was an intruder in the school with a knife and the lockdown alarms had been going off but there was no alarm attached to the gym so we didn’t hear it, especially not over lord of the rings. They installed an alarm there that same week.

32. Where was the last place you vacationed to? Did you enjoy this time? I went to Paris a couple of weeks ago. It was okay but would have been better if I had people to hang out with. I’m pretty bad at travelling solo and I struggle to meet people in hostels.

39. When’s the last time someone made you feel like you mattered? I was talking to a friend about when I’ll be back in Aus and he asked for plenty of notice on what date it would be so he could take a couple days off work because he was really excited to see me again. That was a nice thing to hear and I’m pretty sure we’re going to get fucking smashed when we see each other again because we are each other’s party friend. My liver dreads this date but the rest of me is excited to see him again.

40. Would you say your life is on the right track right now? It’s off-roading

41. Do/Did you skip class? On days I had drum lessons I would usually skip an extra half an hour or so. One of the drum teachers I had did not give a flying fuck that I was skipping class and he would actually kinda help me with it. My lesson was supposed to be 30 minutes every week. But I would rock up toward the end of the second break and stay until home bell rang almost 2 hours later. We would just jam or sometimes I’d show up and he’d literally leave to go get lunch while I sat there playing drums instead of going to maths.

42. Do you have long eyelashes? Yes. My lower eyelashes are so long that if I were to wear mascara it would smudge onto my skin when I blink. I learned this when my mum put makeup on me as a trial run before my highschool formal.

44. What is the highest outdoor temperature you’ve ever had to endure?  Outdoors? It was 45 Celsius in Varanasi, India AND I was sick at that point which made it even worse.

On one bus my phone was in my bag and it turned itself off because it was too hot.

45. And the lowest?  When I went up the swiss alps as a kid. It was summer but up at the peak my dad says it was negative 20. Tbh that’s probably an exaggeration but it was still pretty damn cold.

46. Can you usually tell when someone has feelings for you?  Oh my god no. I am so oblivious to this. Like that time a guy was hitting on me in a restaurant in central america and it took me more than an hour to realise. People say latino guys are more direct but I still didn’t fucking notice

47. How often do you straighten your hair? I don’t think I ever have

48. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? I had sips of beer and wine growing up but my first ever full alcohol beverage was a can of pre-mixed JD&coke. Or was it jim beam and coke? Idk. One of them.

49. Do you ever take medication to help you fall asleep? I have sleeping pills and I used to take them sometimes when I did shift work but they ended up making me just as drowsy the next day as if I hadn’t slept so they aren’t really worth it unless I desperately need sleep and only have a certain amount of time before I have to go somewhere.

50. Do you feel more comfortable with a male or female doctor/nurse? Female. For invasive procedures and also a woman is more likely to actually listen if I’m telling them something is wrong.

Less than 2 years but it is structurally falling apart. I have to be careful how I pick it up or adjust the screen angle because I could literally just break the whole thing apart. I just need it to last a few more months until I can afford a better one. 60. What is your blood-type? O+ the same as my mum 61. Are you donating your organs? Not currently. I’d prefer to wait until I’m not using them 62. What is one show that is canceled that you wish was still on? The Bitch in Apartment 23

63. Have you made any life altering decisions lately? To go back to Australia, I guess. But it’s more of a necessity than a choice.

64. What is the closest store to you? The cornerstore is next door to my building on the right and a bar is on the left. 65. Do you have any songs currently stuck in your head? Yofo - Molotov 66. Where is the last place you applied for a job?  No idea. I applied to a lot. 67. Which continent would you most like to travel to and why? Aside from going back to Australia, the next place I go will probably be somewhere in Latin America again. There’s so much more to see there. 68. Are there a lot of tourists where you live? So goddamn many. It’s not so bad now that it’s winter but the summer was so hectic.

69. Do you have to use public transport often? Whenever I go somewhere that’s not walking distance. The metro system is really good here. 70. Does your house have an alarm? Why, you gonna try to break in? I’ll save you the effort, I have nothing of value aside from the $30USD on my shelf 71. Have you ever asked someone out on a date? Y'know I actually don’t think I have 72. Whose grave did you last visit? Oscar Wilde’s

73. How far out of your age bracket would you date? Ideally within about 5 years of me but I figure anything less than my parents’ age gap is passable (15 years)

74. Could you go a day without talking to the last person you kissed? I have gone many days without talking to him.

75. Do you like mac n cheese? It’s mediocre.

76. Did you wake up in the middle of the night last night? I woke up at midday but then went back to sleep for another 2 hours.

77. Are you usually wide awake when you wake up? God no. 

78. How long have you known your first phone contact? Since May

79. Which would you rather play: guitar or drums? I can play both but I prefer drums

80. You can never drink tea again or soda. Which do you give up? I don’t drink tea anyway so that’s a pretty easy choice. Besides, I wouldn’t mix rum with tea.

81. Do you live in the past? What time travelling secret do you have that I don’t know about?

82. Do you think that black cats actually bring bad luck? the fact that I’d have just seen a cat would already be the result of good luck.

(Part 1.5 AKA The interlude)

James wakes up to the opening strains from “He’s a pirate.” He groggily lifts his head from the pillow and answers the phone. 

“Hi dad.” He croaks into the phone. “How was your first day at uni.” His father asks jovially. (He feels bad. He only called once yesterday to let him know that he had gotten to Manchester but hadn’t said anything since). “I’m sorry da-”

His father interupts him quickly. “Listen lad, I remember my first few days of independence. My mum heard nought from me for three weeks.” Hal then laughs. James smiles at that, he then rubs the nape of his before talking. “Yeah, the first day was okay. My flat mates are alright and the halls are in a great location. I’m like 3 minutes from Lidl.” Hal hums. “Anything else?” James starts. (”How the fuck did he read me, I didn’t say shit. What in the hell”). “Uh, yeah. We’re having this guy over for tea tonight and I don’t know what to think.” Hal hummed again. “I mean he’s really attractive, but I also don’t know what to think of him or what he thinks of me. Is he even attracted to me??.” James shifts in his bed as he thinks about Thomas and everything that happened last night (which was nothing). “Can I offer some advice?” Hal asks gently. James nods and then realises his dad can’t see him. “I’ll take the silence as a yes.” His dad says. James outright laughs at that. “Enjoy yourself James.” James stops laughing. “I know how hard it was for you growing up here. There are exactly three openly gay and bisexual boys in this village and I know you wouldn’t touch any of them with a 50 foot pole, and that says nothing about all the teasing that went your way. All the jokes and ridicule at your expense.” James purses his lips and then opens his mouth to speak, but before he can get a word out Hal interupts. “I mean it James Flint McGraw. Enjoy yourself. Live, laugh, get too drunk and stumble home at 8 in the morning.” James starts laughing again. “Just enjoy yourself.” James smiles softly. “I will dad.”

“Now go socialise before your flatmates start thinking you’re an antisocial ass.” James smirks. “You should also go and make sure Billy is fed before he decides to eat you.” He sasses back. “Your brother would rather die than eat me.” Hal quips back. “TOO MUCH FAT.” James and Hal say in unison laughing. “Speak of the devil.” Hal says. “Hold on a sec James, Billy is going to talk to you.” There is quiet for a beat.

“Hi James.” Billy says. “It’s Billy.”

“Who the fuck is Billy?!” James says in a deadpan voice.

“Fuck you Jamie.”

“I thought we were never to speak of that again.” James hisses down the line.

“We don’t know each other, so how did we make that agreement?” Billy says in a solemn voice.

“Fuck you Billy.”

“Now, now boys.” Hal says somewhere in the background.

“Anyway, good luck at uni bro. I hope you don’t fail too badly.”

“Thanks Billy, good luck with high school.”

James rubs his face after the call and thinks about how tired he still is. He blacks out again. 

Part 2. (The continuation of the main plot?? Who am I lying to, there’s no plot. Think of this as a slice of life anime- it’s all about characters and the stuff that happens to them).

He wakes up to the smell of oatmeal,eggs and bacon frying and strong coffee. He leaves his room and goes next door into the common room.

Madi is sitting on the couch eating oatmeal. Max is holding a copper and glass cafetiere and pouring the rest of the coffee into a white mug. Miranda is plating up the eggs and bacon and Vane is eating an apple. (”Wow, how domestic, I didn’t anticipate this either, I thought it was every person for themselves, but I guess I was wrong.”) Vane sees him, grins and chucks the apple core at his head. “Fuck you Vane.” He picks the core up and tries to thrown it into the bin. “Boys.” Miranda says sternly before actually putting the core into the bin. Vane laughs. “I’m heading out for a smoke. Anyone coming with?” Max gets up. “I’m game.” She says with a smile on her face. “Can you make me more coffee when we get back?” She asks Vane. Vane nods as he grabs a coat and his keys.

James watches them leave. “I missed something.” He tells Madi and Miranda. “Yup.” Madi says. “Charles Vane bought coffee grounds and a cafetiere, Max did not.” Madi tells him before going into the kitchenette and putting her bowl in the sink. Miranda gets her toast out of the toaster and digs into her eggs and bacon. “I was starving.” She says to James who was staring at her demolishing half the plate. “No please you don’t have to explain yourself.” James says quickly. “I’m just trying to think where I’ll get food, I haven’t done any shopping.” Madi looks at him for a second. She then goes to a cupboard and removes an oatmeal cup. “Here, help yourself.” She says casually. (”Great I’m already magically the charity case person. Shit!” James thinks as he takes the offered oatmeal.) “James.” James turn to look at Miranda. “We’ll go shopping in like an hour when the shops open. You’ll buy your stuff then.” Madi smiles at him. “We’re flat mates. We’ll probably help each other a lot over the course of the year.” She says, “So don’t feel bad for needing help right now.” (“How are they reading my mind right now?!?!?!?”) She then chuckles “Also, it’ OATMEAL, not a gold bar. Stop being awkward.” He huffs a small laugh before putting the oatmeal cup with water into the microwave.

Max and Charles return. Charles boils the kettle and grabs the cafetiere and cleans it out. Max smiles at them. “We really need to shopping.” She says. “I need to get actual food.” Madi and James make eye contact and Miranda says, “Lidl, Asda and Tesco all open at 10.30 on Sunday, which is in an hour. We’ll all go then.” Miranda then gets up. “Excuse me I need to do a bit more unpacking.” She goes into her cupboard and removes a tray of eggs. “Help yourselves. Unfortunately, I ate all the bacon though.” She then smiles at all of them before leaving. The kettle finishes boiling with a click. “I’ll finish that.” Max tells Charles who had begun to spoon grounds into the cafetiere. Charles leaves her to make her coffee and goes into a cupboard where he removes a loaf of bread. “Anybody want toast with their eggs?” James looks up at Charles before speaking. “Yeah.” He says softly. “I can make everyone their eggs if they want.”  “Dude,relax okay.” Charles tells him. “You don’t need to be this awkward.” Madi huffs out a laugh. “I already told him that.” Max looks at him for a bit. “I like my eggs over easy.” James smiles at her gratefully. Max then turns to Charles. “He’s offering to cook eggs once, not to clean your room and do the laundry, YOU relax.” Charles raises his hands. “Fair dos.” Charles then says to James. “Sunny side up.” James grabs a pan and begins to cook. “Madi?” He asks her. “No, I’m allergic to eggs.” She then goes for the loaf of bread. “But I’m having some of the bread.” 

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

Later in the afternoon after they get back from doing a TON of shopping and have arranged who’ll have which cupboard and which fridge shelf, Jack returns with his girlfriend. “Anne meet everyone. Everyone meet Anne.” “Hi Anne.” Max says with what was fast become her trademark charming smile. Anne then ‘bro-hugs’ Charles. “Hi.” She says to the room. “Oh yeah, Jack, your the second shelf in the first fridge and your cupboard is under the breakfast bar.” Charles informs him. “Cool.” Jack says. “I’ll go shopping in a bit.” He says. “Also Anne’s staying in the night.” Charles just smiles. “Great, she can join us for dinner. My friend Thomas is coming over.” Miranda says. Anne, Jack and Charles all look at each other. “Cool.” Charles says for all of them. “Is it gonna be a party?” Charles asks. “I hope not, I have my course meeting tomorrow morning at 9.” Miranda responds. “Oh come on, we’re freshers.” Charles pouts. “Drink yes, get totally smashed, no.” Miranda says. “What ever mom.” Charles tells her. Miranda just shakes her head. “I’m cool with a chill evening.” James says. (”That’s right, I meet my supervisor tomorrow at 10. Better to be sober and well rested, I don’t want them to hate me before I’ve even begun the year.”) “Fine.” Charles says. “Also you two can go.” He tells Jack and Anne. They then both go to Jacks room. Vane rolls his eyes. “Love birds.” He tells every one. “They’ve been together since the first year of high school.”

“Cute.” Max says.

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

Miranda gets a text and raises an eyebrow. “Thomas’ll be here in an hour.”

“Okay.” James says sinking further into the couch.They (James, Max, Madi, Charles, Miranda, Jack and Anne) are all watching a marathon of “The Chase.”

There’s a beat of silence. Madi finally gets up and turns off the TV. “What the fuck?!?!” James and Vane say.

“Our common room looks like a ring of Hell.” 

Sure enough, there’s liquor bottles and stains every where, a pile of take away boxes and a mountain of washing up that looked like Everest. Also somehow there are clothes on the floor.

“Fine.” Vane said. 

He grabs bin liner and begins to stuff take away cartons into the bag. Vane then separates out the trash to recyclables and non recyclables. Flint looks at the overflowing garbage bin and decides to take the already existing garbage out. Max beats him to it, though. He then decides to tackle the washing up. Miranda has already plugged the hoover into the wall and has begun to hoover. Madi starts to organise the common room.  Jack goes to help with the washing up and Anne starts wiping surfaces. Max returns and puts the washing up away as soon as it’s done. Miranda then mops the floor. In half an hour their common room is spotless. They’re also filthy.

They all retreat to their respective bedrooms to have showers and get dressed for the dinner.

A/N: Here’s parts 1.5 and 2. Next up, the dinner with Thomas. Also for those who might be wondering. Most student accommodation in the UK is called “Halls” and they are mostly self catered (i.e. you need to cook for yourself) and you don’t really have a roommate, you have flat mates. Also,again this is based on my experiences in Uni. Not all flats have a great synergy, but some do. I decided that the characters would be good friends and support each other even though they are practically strangers. (The breakfast thing happened to me in my third halls, I just got offered a cereal bar and some eggs on toast with baked beans from two different people so yeah, that happened).
