was kimmy leaving on your bingo card? :<
(slightly unrelated but holy shit Ty for reminding me it’s the start of march I gotta update the card lmao, will post that tonight/in like 10 hours)
Hi lilac!
I know everyone is currently mourning Kimmy leaving, but think about it positively! She’s now on another yt channel where she gets to produce AND be an on-camera personality again!! 🥰
Now I put “Smosh member leaves” instead of cast specially on the card coz I was silly and it looked better on the card… which is why I didn’t count Heidi leaving
with Kimmy however, while she was crew for like a year when she left, I’m GOING to count it as she WAS cast and is therefore a cast member leaving Smosh in 2024
(I also wanna get as many right as possible 💀)

Hey Albie! How are you? Hope you’re feeling good and not getting sick :)
I see that your requests are open and wanted to request one for Rindou.
I feel like he is the one who’s not good at expressing his feelings. She had been eyeing this girl who is a part-time waitress in one of their clubs but doesn’t know how to reach out to her. He can like ask advise from Ran and Kaku but lur boy is really a shy guy and one time he approached Y/N in a rude manner he felt about it.
You’re call on how he will make it up to her ♥️
Surprise us like you always do. 🥰
A/N: Helly my sweet Anon ૮꒰⸝⸝>  ̫ <⸝⸝꒱ა I’m a bit tired from being overworked but I am not getting sick! I hope you are doing well and not getting sick! And yessss! I was waiting for someone to request Rin again. I love writing Rin just as much as I love writing Ran. I will do my best to surprise you all!
Tumblr media
I'm Sprung
Characters: Rindou Haitani x fem!Reader
Warnings: A bit of angst (Rin’s jealousy and minor violence) with fluff ending
Like, reblogging, and kind comments are appreciated.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She should be here any minute... Rin mentally prepares himself. Should he look nonchalant, confident or charming? Or would it be too obvious that he is trying too hard? He tries changing his facial expressions and adjusts the way he sits. Ran chuckles at Rin’s fidgeting about his presence. Kakucho also notices but chooses not to question him since he knows why Rin is acting this way. 
It is because of you, the cute, part-time waitress. You started working at one of Bonten’s most popular clubs for almost three months now. The moment Ran noticed Rin’s cute little crush on you, he made sure you are only to serve them when they come to the club. Hoping it would encourage Rin to make his move but sadly it’s been wasted. It’s not that he doesn’t want to try, he’s just too shy.
“Good evening, here are your drinks, gentlemen.” Your sultry voice makes Rin’s body and mind tense up.
This happens to him, every single time. It is as if it’s his instincts to malfunction when you are around. You gracefully set down Bonten’s preferred alcohol drinks, leaning over slightly which Rin happens to catch a glimpse of your cleavage. His cheeks redden, averting his gaze not wanting to be creepy.
“Please enjoy!” Your saccharine voice brings Rin’s downturned eyes back on you, observing your ‘uniform’. You are wearing a low cut top, shorts that barely cover your ass cheeks, and high stilettos that elongate your legs. Although Rin finds you alluring, he hates the uniform. He doesn’t want other clients to see you wearing this. 
“Thanks, doll.” Ran flashes his iconic lazy grin, lighting up his cigarette. He takes a drag and blows the smoke in a different direction. “How are you doing? How’s school?”
“I’m doing well, thank you for asking.” You respond back happily, “School has been-” Rin watches how easy Ran is having a normal conversation with you. How is it that Ran is always so charismatic? This isn’t fair. Rin wants to be the one you feel comfortable to talk to. “-anyways! I’ll be back in a few.” You display your adorable smile before walking down the stairs.
Rin leans his head back to groan in misery. Why is it so hard to converse with you? Ran flickers his lilac eyes at his brother and chuckles again, “Still having trouble talking to women, Rinnie?” Taking another puff of smoke before blowing it out.
“I don’t have trouble talking to women.” Rin shoots Ran an angry glare, obviously if a woman he’s not interested in he knows how to reject them. “I just…” His cheeks are reddened, “I don’t know how to talk to [Y/n]…” mumbling the last bit. Ran’s teasing grin spread on his lips.
“Does Rinnie want to ask his big bro for some advice?” Before Rin can throw his usual verbal insults, Ran shoves Rin’s drink into his hand, “First, drink to help relax your nerves.” Rin grumbles but complies, drinking the smooth whiskey and feeling the small burn in his throat. You know their favorite brand of whiskey by heart, “Second, don’t cross your arms. It makes you standoffish and you look less approachable.” Rin looks down at his arms, unaware he was doing that and undos them. “Third, stop scrunching your eyebrows. You look like you’re pissed off and ready to fight someone. Also, you’re going to get wrinkles if you keep doing that.” Ran throws in his little tease and Rin tries to relax his brows, “Fourth, show off that cute smile of yours.” He pokes Rin’s adorable cheek, making Rin drop his face to a deadpan, “Lastly, say ‘hello’.” 
“That’s it?” Rin scoffs in disbelief, “Just say ‘hello?’” 
“Yes, that’s how people start a conversation, dear brother.” Ran takes a drink of his whiskey. “Show your interest in her. Ask her some questions that will get her to start talking more.” He takes another puff from his cigarette. 
“What questions do you ask when you talk to her?” 
“I’m not interested in your cute little crush enough to know a lot about her. But,” Ran tilts his head, remembering his past conversation with you, “she mentioned something about going to concerts and music festivals.” Rin’s eyes light up. You two have something in common! “She said something about wanting to go to ULTRA Japan.” Rin nods in assurance now that he knows what to talk about with you.
Rin stands up, feeling more relaxed and determined to finally talk to you. Rin walks down the steps exuding more confidence, his lilac eyes zeroing in on you at the bar. Making his way to the bar, feeling the adrenaline and excitement coursing through his veins. As he gets closer, his lips drop to a frown. You are happily chatting with the bartender, the way the bartender is leaning over the counter and the look in his eyes… Rin can tell the bartender is definitely interested in you. His fist clenched in anger, stomping his way towards you in a blinding, jealous rage. 
In your peripherals, you see someone approaching in your direction and you turn your attention away from the bartender. You see an upset Rin coming your way, “Oh hi, Rin.” You never see any of the executives coming down from the VIP section unless they are on the dancefloor. “Did you need another drink-?”
“So, this is what you do at work. Flirt with men who give you the slightest attention?” You stare at him, a bit flustered. Rin doesn’t normally talk to you and this is the first time you two have really spoken. There are times when you think he is going to talk to you, but he ends up turning away from you awkwardly. You mostly talk with Ran or Koko since they are the more talkative executives. Sanzu is pretty loud and obnoxious or high out of his mind. Kakucho, Mochi, and Takeomi are friendly with you too but they usually mind their own business. Mikey is rarely at the club, so you don’t have many interactions with him. “Maybe we should have you work in a different entertainment if you want to freely flirt with other men.” 
Of course you know what kind of workplace he is referring to, feeling insulted that he thinks you flaunt yourself. “I-”
“Sir,” The bartender defends you in a polite tone, “she is very professional at her job.” Rin instantly grabs his collar in one fluid motion, nearly pulling him over the counter, startling everyone nearby.
“Rin, please let go of him!” You are not sure why Rin is taking his anger out on the bartender, you were both just talking about school since he attends the same university as you. The way you plead for the bartender, makes Rin even more enraged. He clenches his collar harder, making the bartender gasp for air. You couldn’t just stand there and watch. The next thing you know, your hand makes contact with Rin’s face, making several people gasp. Rin, in a state of shock that you slapped him, loosens his grip on the bartender. Realizing what you have done, you know you are going to get fired for slapping one of the owners of this club.
“That’s quite a slap you got there, doll.” Looking past Rin’s shoulder, you see Ran approaching the bar. “I better not make you mad.” Throwing in a joke with a charming smile. “Rin, could you let the bartender go so he can fetch me a drink?” Placing his hand on Rin’s shoulder. Rin slowly removes his hand, the bartender hurriedly pour Ran his usual whiskey drink.
“Here, sir.” Handling him a glass, Ran elegantly grabs the drink and takes a good sip.
“Ahhh, that’s good whiskey.” Ran smiles, then glances back at everyone else and they instinctively mind their own business. Not knowing what you should do, you want to at least say something.
“Ran, I-” He raises his hand for you to stop talking.
“Take the rest of the night off. Don’t worry about your compensation, I’ll make sure you will still get paid.” Your eyes widen, surprised by Ran’s generosity. Glancing at Rin, he refuses to look at you. “Don’t worry about him.” Ran assuring you everything is going to be alright. 
Taking one last look at the bartender, who nods to let you know it’s fine. “Alright, I’ll see you next week.” 
“See you.” Ran watches you walk back to the staff’s locker room, his eyes flickering to the bartender, “Keep serving drinks as usual. However,” Ran’s eyes narrow, intimidatingly, “this will be the last time I save your ass. Next time, you may not be so lucky.”
“Yes, sir.” The bartender goes to the other side of the counter to take orders from their customers. Ran looks back at a distraught Rin, feeling devastated how this whole situation transpired. 
“Let’s go back to our seats, hm?” Ran gives Rin’s shoulder a light squeeze but Rin shrugs him off.
“I… I need to go.” Rin storms out of the club, needing to calm himself. Ran lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
“Gotta let him figure this out.”
A week after the incident has passed, you are now back at the club getting drinks ready for the Bonten Executives. Feeling a bit nervous this time, uncertain how your interactions with the executives will go. Making your way up to the VIP section, your heart pounds against your chest from either uneasiness or the booming loud music. At the top of the stairs, your heart aches a little. Rin is sitting alone on the couch, no one else seems to be around. His facial expression is unreadable. The lights may be dimmed but you can feel the intensity in his eyes, staring right at you.
Mustering up your courage, you set the drinks down on the table. “Good evening, here are the drinks. I’ll be back to check on you-”
“Is your hand okay?” Rin interrupts. You pause momentarily, not understanding his question. As though Rin can read your mind, he continues, “From when you slapped me.”
“Oh… OH!” Gasping loudly, why would he ask that when he is the one who got slapped. “Yes… um, my hand is fine. Is your cheek alright?”
“It’s fine.” He responds curtly, making you flinch a little but then you notice his facial expression softens. “I deserved it. I shouldn’t have said those things… I was… having a bad night.” Explaining his actions, you clearly see he is remorseful. 
“Oh, I see… um, are you… feeling better now?” Surprisingly, he gives you a soft smile. You rarely see him smile like this.
“Depends.” 
“On?” Rin takes something out of his pocket, it’s a white envelope and hands it over to you. Hesitantly, you take it from him and look at him unsure at what this is. He waits for you to open it. You lift up the flap and see there are two tickets. Pulling them out, your eyes bulge out. It’s to ULTRA Japan, you have been saving up money to buy the tickets. “OH… MY GOD!” You nearly drop your drink tray, but catch it before it slips from your hand. “You’re… you’re really giving me these tickets?” They are for two front row tickets.
The look on your eyes and the way you react, makes Rin elated. “Yeah.” 
“But, why?” You are squealing in happiness, looking at the tickets again. Maybe it’s better to not ask in case he takes them back…
“To apologize for overreacting last time.” Rin rubbing the back of  his head, sheepishly. You thank him profusely, wondering who you should take. Glancing at Rin, his eyes are still on you.
“Do you like music festivals?” 
Rin quirks one of his eyebrows. “Yeah, I do.” 
Feeling relieved he does, you display your saccharine smile. “Want to come with me?” His eyes widened in surprise, originally he was going to ask you to go with him to ULTRA Japan but he didn’t want to make it seem like he’s forcing you to go. The fact that you asked him, warms his heart. 
“What? Got no friends to go with?” Rin smirks, wanting to joke around with you.
“How rude.” You feign a pout, “Here I thought we were becoming friends. Guess I should ask Ran.” 
“Are you kidding?” Rin’s face deadpans, “He’s the worst person to go to a concert with.” You tilt your head with curiosity. 
“Why is that?”
“He doesn’t like super crowded places, he doesn’t get hyped up at concerts, and this isn’t the type of music he likes.” Rin listed off his reasons, “He doesn’t even get excited when I DJed for him.” Your pupils widen, learning something new about Rin.
“You DJed?” 
“I owned a DJ booth and used to practice when we lived together.”
“That’s so cool!” You are impressed, wanting to know Rin a bit more. “Do you still have it?” Rin flashes his cute smile.
“Want me to give you a private show?” The rest of the evening, you and Rin get closer and get to know each other more. Ran, who has been watching both of your interactions from the side, smiles proudly for his brother who finally overcame his shyness.

Wait wait wait wait have we considered scar is the one who carries their calf to term?
He’d both be in heaven because he’s so thoroughly doted on and In hell because now Mumbo n cub have to check in on him more and as much as he cares about them he’s so hormonal and protective.
(If he ever got pregnant before, in the past, I guarantee that calf didn’t survive to be born. Either by the nature of bullfighting triggering a miscarriage in his first trimester, or prev owners inducing an abortion with or without his knowledge. Afterall, no crowds want to watch a pregnant bull get beat up. Even if selling the calf would make them good money, it’s too big a risk)
Even more so when the calf themself are born. Maybe because of his various health issues, it’s a rough birth. While Cub n Mumbo were confident Scar would pull through, the calf’s health was in question for a short while.
And therefore, when they’re actually born, Cub and Mumbo immediately begin to check them over. Much to Scars dismay, but at the same time, he’s in so much pain and they’re actively talking him through what they’re doing. Promising they’re not taking his calf, promising him his calf has a steady heartbeat after they check it, telling him theyre just using a wet wipe to clean some blood off real quick it’s okay.
Fun fact: generally when farm animals give birth, the father is kept far from the barn as possible because there’s a serious risk of him attacking the people trying to help. So grian being taken to the other side of the barn by Impulse and Pearl, his instinct sending him up the fuckin walls (he almost attacks Pearl but Impulse is so much stronger than him it isn’t hard for him to stop Grian in his tracks. At which point he breaks down crying. Hormones and instincts man.)
It takes way more hours than anyone would like, and it’s dark by the time Mumbo makes his way across the estate to where Pearl and Impulse took Pearl, but he does so with a smile and a lantern. They’re both okay, Grian can come see them now, he tells them.
Hot take: scarian naming their hypothetical calf Lilac is the best ever. Lilacs aren’t toxic for animals to eat (unlike most poppies) and they have Scarian symbolism.
— abridged anon
WAAAAH this is super cute tho. I love the idea of Scar being the one to carry, and he just starts trusting everyone else even more so after seeing how they treated him an his and Grians new calf... Poor Grian losing his mind over instincts, once he's let into the room with Scar an their Calf he's just on his knees crying and cooing at their little baby, sososo proud of Scar and just so happy <333

May I request Vil with a s/o who's a bit hyperactive and dense at times which make people question how they got together. But when people get a closer look at their relationship they see that his s/o just does things for him that make him smile. Like give him roses when he's having a bad day. Cute stuff like that
I also like to think people ask him why he's dating them and he goes like "because they make me smile" and I think that's so cute
Vil with a Dense and Hyper S/O !
Tumblr media
Anon I just wanna say this is my favorite request to date because of how simple but goddamn adorable it is. Although I’m pretty hyper myself I don’t know if I wrote reader hyper enough 😭. I also apologize that this post might be pretty low quality considering I’ve been having writer’s block for weeks now.
pairings: Vil Schoenheit x gn!reader
genre: fluff
cw/tw: none
━━━━━━━━━━━━✿━━━━━━━━━━━
Rumors circulate easily on the internet, especially about ultra-famous people like Vil, being his partner doesn’t make it easier for you. But who cares? It’s none of their business anyways.
You exit the flower shop excitedly waving goodbye to the owner, with how many flowers you’ve bought your boyfriend already the owner’s got to know you a lot, you didn’t tell the owner that your partner was THE Vil Schoenheit though, you would prefer if you didn’t see a flock of people in that shop everyday.
Jogging your way back to your shared apartment, you opened the front door with a big smile on your face
‘Hm? Vil isn’t on the couch today?’ you thought
Whenever you’d come home you would most of the time see Vil sitting on your couch on his laptop doing some work, you thank the Seven whenever he would wear that turtle-neck shirt that fit him so perfectly while he wore a pair of blue light glasses.
You skipped up the flight of stairs and found him laying on your shared bed, a rare sight considering it was in the middle of the afternoon, rarer being that his hair was slightly messy as if he’d just woke up
“Not working today?” you asked, your hands behind your back
Vil stretched his arms forward letting out a quiet groan “My manager gave me a day off since she thinks I’ve been working too much lately, I let myself have a small nap for once. After all, you need plenty of rest if you want to stay the fairest” he gave a soft smile towards you.
You sat down at the side of the bed and gave Vil a wide grin, he looked at you curiously but he already knew what was about to come
“Ta-daa!” you popped out the flower you bought earlier, it was a white lilac, Vil gently took the flower from your hands and brought it near his face to inspect it
“White lilacs symbolize purity and innocence, it fits you very well”
Your eyes widened in surprise and you smiled wider somehow “I didn’t know you were familiar with flower language!”
It seems like your brain just didn't register Vil's compliment and only registered the fact he knew the flower's meaning but no matter, he's already used to this after being together for years.
“Say Mr. Schoenheit, how about your love life? What’s up with that?” the interviewer asked
Vil’s currently attending another interview, the 3rd time this week actually, asking the same questions over and over again but this is the first time someone has dared to ask about his ‘love life’
“Hm…it’s rather eventful actually, my partner is a rather energetic person and brings a variety of things home everyday, it’s always a surprise waiting for me whenever I hear them open the front door” he calmly answered
“Actually a few people have spotted you and your partner out and about sometimes and it seems you weren’t joking about them being energetic, what made you pick them?”
Vil’s eyebrows twitched up for a moment before he gave a small smile to the interviewer
“Simply because they make me happy”.
You were laying on the couch when you saw the live interview, you sat completely frozen after Vil said those words, his voice ringing in your head.
Your face developed a red flush on your cheeks as you buried your face in a pillow, internally screaming in panic
“Gosh Vil, you’re so…”
You silenced for a few moments before lovingly sighing
‘I’ll reserve that thought for when he gets home’
You flopped back on the couch on your side and continued watching your boyfriend’s interview.
Vil sighed in relief once he arrived at your shared apartment now that his remaining interviews for the day and work are over, now all he needed was to get in bed with you immediately.
He rang the doorbell before opening the door, noticing that it was suspiciously quiet in the apartment tonight,
Thinking you were already asleep he quietly opened the bedroom door and changed clothes before finally being able to relax and lay down on the bed.
“Boo!” you whisper yelled at Vil’s face that was close to yours, he chuckled lightly before grabbing your waist and pulled you in so he can hug you while he slept, he gently kissed your forehead before whispering a small ‘good night’ to you
You sighed as you buried your face in his neck and let your muscles relax under his hold
“You’re so mean saying that in the interview knowing that I’d be watching” you mumbled
Vil gave a soft laugh “I’m mean out of my love for you, dear”.

LILACS AND DAFFODILS
Tumblr media
MARK LEE
[PART 2 to BLUE HYACINTHS]
GENRE: hanahaki au, angst, some fluff, some comfort, more angst
WARNINGS: mentions of death, obviously. more than once. unedited
TAGLIST: @danoolah @mariaelizabeth21-blog1 @jising-jisang-jisung and that one anon from May
A/N: at no point did i know where this was going, and umm yeah. but a long awaited part two that i hope gets y’all to feel something <3
Tumblr media
Flowers started arriving for you two days into your hospital stay. Every day, 8am. Sometimes it was pink and abundant peonies, sometimes sweet and small bouquets filled with lilacs and baby’s breath between. You didn’t know who they were from, but the little notes held poems that lifted your mood for the rest of the day. They helped you forget, for a little while at least, the reason you were in the hospital.
Your mind couldn’t help wandering back to that night. When you found out your long-term boyfriend had fallen for someone else, one of his coworkers. It was like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped on you. And then came the aftermath.
The tearful confrontation in the car after the party, calling up your friend to stay with her, the shortly thereafter admission to the hospital when you could hardly function. You still refused to get the surgery that would save your shortening life, despite everything you still treasured the near two years you spent with the man that still held your heart in the palm of his hand.
A knock on the door brought you from your misery; it was one of your day nurses, the one that usually brought up your flowers. Today was a mixture of sunflowers, yellow roses, and delphinium. A soft smile tugged your muscles as you took them in, holding them up for a deep smell as you received them.
“You have quite the admirer,” Amy said, relieved that the flowers lifted your mood so much. Most Hanahaki Disease patients withered away in their beds, refusing the life saving surgery and passing away in their sleep from broken hearts and torn lungs.
You hummed. While the flowers were indeed lovely, it still confused you to no end who was sending them. Your friend every day reaffirmed that Jaemin had no idea you were even in the hospital, so it couldn’t be him. You didn’t want it to be anyway, it would just make you more miserable.
“What’s the note today?” Amy asked, peering over the top of the bouquet. You opened the card, silently reading over it first, furrowing your brows more and more.
‘I hope this isn’t out of line, but can I buy you a drink? To replace the one I spilled that night’
-M
“Oh, a hint!” Amy exclaimed after you read it aloud. “So you do know the one sending the flowers.”
You tilted your head. “Not really. Not personally anyway. I think I do know who it is though…” you trailed.
“So? Are you gonna agree to it?”
You lifted a shoulder. “Even if I wanted to, how would I let him know?”
Amy hummed. “Maybe let the flower shop know. They keep track of regular customers, and it seems like he picks the flowers out himself rather than ordering online.”
Tumblr media
The next day another bouquet came, but the note was back to the usual poem. There wasn’t any theme to them, like they were selected as if they were his favorites. They were all lovely, as any form of art held a special place in your heart.
You brought up the request first thing when your friend came by for her daily visit. She thought the same as Amy, that you knew him, until you told her about the small incident at the party that night. You thought back on his behavior. He had been very kind, and he had been concerned about your appearance even back then. You wonder if he knew Jaemin.
Regardless, you figured that if you were gonna die in a couple months anyway, what was the harm in meeting ‘M’? So you sent an email to the flower shop with your message, and waited.
The next day, your flowers were late. Amy didn’t bring them in, and every time she came to check on you it was the same. Around noon, a knock let you know it was lunch time. Except, the door opened to a bouquet, behind which fluffy dark brown hair half covered dark brown eyes. It was weird seeing someone again that you’ve only met briefly before. A tentative smile greeted you, to which a corner of your own mouth couldn’t help quirking up with in response. That, and the flowers that made you smile no matter what.
“Hello again,” his deep voice filled the quiet space.
“Hello,” you murmured. You couldn’t take your eyes off his as he walked slowly up to your bedside. You motioned at the chair nearby so he could sit, at the same time he held the flower— daisies, carnations, yellow roses— out to you. The bouquet hit your hand with a hollow sound, as ‘M’ stuttered out an apology.
“O-Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! He-here these are for you.” You watched in fascination as his ears grew a deep red and his eyes fell to your scratchy hospital blanket in embarrassment.
A hand flew to cover your mouth as you giggled. But when he looked back up at you, you cleared your throat and averted your eyes. “Sorry, I don’t mean to laugh at you.”
The silence was a little awkward as neither of you were sure what to say while you stared lovingly down at the flowers. But then he seemed to start. “Oh. My name is Mark by the way. I… hope you don’t mind I brought the flowers myself this time. Or that I’ve been sending them at all,” Mark chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck with his now free hand.
“No I… I like them,” you whispered. “They’ve all been so lovely. Thank you. For sending them. Although I’ll admit I���m not sure why you’ve been doing it.”
Another blush lightly dusted the tops of his ears as Mark shifted subtlety in the chair. “I don’t really know myself, I just thought you were so pretty that night, and then I found out what was going on with your…. boyfriend,” he winced. “I have a friend that works here and while I was visiting him I happened to see you walking the hall with a nurse. The next day I walked by a flower shop and just thought you might like some flowers.” Mark shrugged. “That’s basically it. I hope you didn’t find them creepy, I didn’t really think that far ahead.”
You shook your head. “No, they were lovely. And besides, even if you were a stalker, it’s not like i’ll be here much longer.”
Mark shook his head hard. “Don’t think like that, you’ve still got a while, you don’t know how things might change.”
Your sad smile stabbed Mark through the chest. He wanted to hear your laugh again instead. He scrambled to change the subject. His whole purpose was to make you happy, not remind you of the situation. “I know I offered a drink, but i brought lunch instead. Hope that’s okay?”
On time, your stomach grumbled and you covered it with your hand, and a lightly embarrassing laugh. “That would be fantastic actually. What did you bring? Hospital food isn’t that bad but I’ve been deprived of a real meal for so long.”
Tumblr media
Mark started coming every few days at lunch, until it turned into nearly every day. You could tell which days it was gonna be because he brought the flowers himself when he did. They still had poems in the card, and he started sharing with you which books they came from. Quite a few of them had been on your TBR list.
Some days he brought lunch with him, and others he ate the hospital’s food with you. Amy was all too happy to bring up two plates of food those days, and made sure you knew with the wink she sent you when Mark wasn’t looking. You just scoffed and waved her off. The amount of flowers you coughed up hourly hadn’t gone down a bit so you didn’t understand her excitement.
But you did feel better.
You found yourself being cheery for longer, and you even started considering the surgery. Jaemin wasn’t the only good thing the world had. And you were still 100 percent convinced he hadn’t hurt you on purpose. It wasn’t in his nature, never would be. Sometimes you wondered how he was doing, if he might have gotten the disease too after you left. You weren’t sure if you could hold feelings for two people at once, or if the stronger one determined if you got the disease or not. Maybe there was a study on it, but maybe you’d feel better not knowing. Despite it all, you didn’t want him to feel the pain you were going through.
“Do you not have anything else to do during your lunch break?” you asked Mark one day. He’d brought spaghetti from the Italian place you’d wanted to go to for months and months, and it was divine.
“Did… you not want me to come by anymore?” Mark asked carefully. He was avidly staring at his food.
“No! It’s not that at all,” you admitted looking down at your own plate, before looking back at him. All you could see was his brown hair. “It’s just… do you really want to spend all this time with me, when I… when I might not be here by the end of the year?” you asked around the lump in your throat.
You startled as Mark shot to his feet, setting his food aside quickly. You opened your mouth but nothing came out, watching as he walked briskly out the door, shocked by his display. You stared at the closed door, your bottom lip wobbling. Head hung, a tear dripped from your eye onto your food. A loose fist wiped at your tears in shock, hand shaky as you tried to wipe the offending water away.
Your knees came up against your chest as you laid your head down, upset at yourself for upsetting Mark. You hadn’t meant to, you just forgot to bite your tongue sometimes. Now he might not come back.
The creaking door brought your teary eyes up, widened in surprise as Mark walked back inside, his eyes downcast. “Sorry for running out so suddenly, I just- Oh my god why are you crying,” Mark exclaimed, horror written across his face.
A muffled sob escaped from behind your hand but you didn’t take your eyes off him as he rushed to your side, taking your face in his hands. Thumbs wiped the tears from under your eyes as he checked you over before crushing you to his chest. Your arms wrapped tightly around him, as if scared he would leave again.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered into your hair. “I didn’t mean to make you cry, I’m so sorry, I just needed to step outside for a minute,” he frantically explained. “I don’t like hearing you talk like your life is a candle about to go out, and I needed to get some fresh air. I’m so sorry Yn.”
You felt every word against your hair, his hold tightening around you every time a cry escaped your body.Eventually your tears subsided into hiccups, but he kept holding you and stroking your back.
You gasped and pulled away as much as you could in his strong hold when you became aware of how much time had gone by, your head turning to the clock with difficulty. Definitely past the time he should’ve left by now. “You’re late for work!” you cried.
Mark turned to the clock as well, standing silently for a long moment before he shrugged.
“They can do without me for the rest of the day. I’m this late anyway. Look, your food is cold. Are you still hungry? I can have the nurses heat it up,” he offered. The plate and Mark were out the door before you could protest, leaving you more confused than before he’d come back.
When Mark returned, he was kinda quiet, lost in his own thoughts. But you still wanted his company so you didn’t say anything about it. When it came time for your afternoon walk outside, he accompanied you. There was a small garden outside the building that you liked to walk through. The benches half in the sun and half in the shade were your favorite places to spend your time.
A little while into your time outside, Mark loosened up a bit again and started reenacting a Shakespeare skit he’d seen recently while you giggled and clapped your hands. He promised to take you to a play some time in the future, and you found yourself agreeing to go with little hesitation.
Tumblr media
The days continued on. Mark spent every lunch with you now, and he’d even met your friend a couple times. Together, the three of you planned a date with your doctors for your surgery. It was a big step, a huge one. Jaemin had once been the entire focus of your life, still was to the extent of your disease. But you had things to look forward to now. You’d never seen Romeo and Juliet in person, and one afternoon as you opened the card to read the day’s poem, a pair of tickets fell into your lap. Your mouth fell open as you looked down at them, unexpected tears gathering in the corner of your eyes.
“I tried to pick a date later in the year so you’ll be recovered but… I hope it’s okay,” Mark said tentatively.
Your lips turned into a pout from uncontrolled emotion. “I love it. Thank you Mark.” You pulled him into a hug, the bouquet and tickets on your lap between you. You laughed as you pulled back to wipe your tears away. “I cant believe I’ll get to go with you. I’m so excited!“
Mark grinned at you as you chattered on about the clips you’d seen on the internet, and what part you thought would be your favorite. You had your favorite moment from reading the story, but seeing it in person was bound to bring out different emotions for different scenes.
Harsh coughing interrupted your thoughts, looking over to find Mark practically doubled over. “Oh my gosh are you okay?” you exclaimed, swinging your legs off the bed to reach over to him.
Mark held up a hand, nodding even as he continued coughing. “Fine, I just need a glass of water,” he wheezed, stumbling out the door. He returned a few minutes later with a sheen of sweat.
“Do you need to see a doctor?” you asked worriedly.
Mark shook his head. “I think it’s just my allergies.” You furrowed your brows but you let it be for the time being. Eventually the whole incident left your brain, especially as your surgery date drew closer and closer.
The day of, Mark showed up with a bouquet of roses. Your face split into a bright smile, a warm feeling spreading through your chest.
Tumblr media
Mark watched as your face lit up, his chest feeling light as air for the first time in weeks. Even with the surgery cap on your head you looked as beautiful as ever. The first time he laid eyes on you he thought you an angel, and he swore you got prettier every day, inside and out.
It was no wonder he’d fallen for you.
The relief he felt when you agreed to get the surgery was beyond words. It wasn’t that he thought you’d never love him back without the surgery. He just wanted you to live life without a broken heart once again, and enjoy it. He wanted you to live a long and happy life. And if by the hopeful chance you’d fall for him too… well who was he to complain?
So he kept his own flowers a secret, hiding the way his throat burned when he talked, making jokes that his bladder was small when you realized he left to the bathroom often. He’d kept it quiet for half the time he’d known you, and he could continue to do so for the rest of his life if he had to.
Mark promised to hold your roses for you while you went into surgery, assuring you he’d be waiting for you when you woke up.
Those three hours went swiftly by, so distracted was he on seeing you again he didn’t even cough up his daffodils. In fact, he hadn’t at all that day. He turned that realization over and over in his mind, until the doors opening caught his attention. He rose on leaden legs.
“She’s doing great,” the doctor smiled. “She should be conscious in the next half hour or so, if you’d like to wait for her in the room.”
Mark heard the words, but he wasn’t listening. Blood rushed through his ears as he walked the familiar hall to your room, quietly turning the handle to the door. You lay motionless on the bed, hair combed gently to the sides of your face. Mark’s hand trembled as he brushed a strand off your cheek. As his fingertip stroked your skin, he felt a flower rising up his throat. He stumbled into your bathroom, tears burning the corners of his eyes as he retched up daffodils.
Mark remained knelt by the toilet until the onslaught of flowers ceased. He fell back to rest against the cabinet, an arm over his lifted knee. The bouquet of roses sat an arms reach away, and a tear slid down his cheek. Mark remained that way for a while until he brought himself up on shaky legs to sit by your bedside where he held your hand until your eyes fluttered open.
Mark sat up straighter, the words ‘please let me be wrong, please let me be wrong’ a broken record in his mind. Your eyes found his, and he strained hard to see the spark your eyes always held when he walked into your room with lunch.
His stomach dropped and he felt the clawing of flowers in his throat again, as you uttered your first words.
“Who… who are you?”

Request: “yo do u take like requests and stuff if u dont its fine but if u do imagine flashing spencer on facetime HAHWHHDHSHWHD ok bye have a good day 💛”
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader
Summary: When Spencer Face-Times Y/N from the jet he gets a little more than he bargained for.
Category: It’s Just Smut
Warnings/Includes: smut, exhibitionism/semi-public sex, face-time/phone sex, graphic descriptions of sexual acts, masturbation (male and female), please let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!
Word count: 2900 words
When he calls to give the good news that the jet’s going to be landing early he accidentally hits the little ‘camera’ button by her name instead of the regular ‘call’ one. He was still getting used to the touch screen in all honesty. But it’s a pleasant surprise when she picks up and he can see her face.
He recognizes the scene, Y/N lounging on their sofa, the lighting is soft, she's probably just got the lamp in the corner on so she can read. After almost an entire week away she really was a sight for sore eyes.
“Hi sweetheart!” he lifts the mic on his earphones right up to his mouth to speak and she laughs at him.
“We’ve been over this kid, it’ll pick up your voice either way, you don't have to talk straight into it”
He starts to blush just a little, “Right sorry” he drops it, focusing on his own little picture in the frame, “Is that what I look like? Jeez” he cringes at his disheveled hair, and the prominent dark circles beneath his eyes. This week had really done a number on him.
“What are you talking about, you look perfect as always!” she affirms, “In fact, I can’t wait to see that beautiful face in person” she puckers her lips and sends him a small kiss through the screen which makes his lips curve up into an involuntary smile. Thank god the team was talking down the other end of the jet or he’d be mercilessly made fun of.
“I was actually just calling to say I’m gonna be landing soon, I should probably be home in like 40 minutes tops”
She smiles, all giddy and excited reclining back on the sofa. “That’s great news!” she says and as she slumps back Spencer notices something, the shirt she's wearing isn’t one he's seen her in before. It’s a little big on her, especially around the collar, lilac with little white buttons. And now he knows why he’s never seen it on her before, it’s his shirt.
“Is that mine?” he asks curious, “The shirt, I mean?”
She takes a second to look down at herself before turning her gaze back to him. “Of course it is, I missed you this week, wanted to feel close to you I guess?” she angles the camera down along her body so he can see all of her.
She’s wearing the shirt and from what he can tell, little else. It’s held together precariously with only one fastened button in the middle, fanning open at both the top and bottom.
“Are you wearing anything under that?” he asks in a hushed whisper, pulling the mic up to his lips on purpose this time.
The smirk she pulls is so full of mischief that he almost regrets asking the question already. She doesn’t say anything in response, just points the camera down again, angling it straight at her chest with one hand as her other hand moves to the one button holding everything together.
“Do you wanna find out?” it echos in both his ears as she whispers.
“Uh huh” he breathes, he’s trying to look nonchalant so no-one notices his tense expression from the other side of the jet.
She undoes the button so slowly, letting each side of the shirt fall apart just enough that he could see her bare sternum and clear lack of a bra, he could be imagining it but he thinks he might be able to see her nipples hard and peaking through the fabric.
“Shall I keep going?” she teases, and he already feels like his breathing must be giving him away if any of his teammates were looking out for that sort of thing.
“Please?” it comes out a little more pathetic and pleading than he really meant it to but she must love the sound of it. She arches her back off the sofa so that the shirt falls open on both sides, exposing her breasts to him fully now. He has to clear his throat to stifle a gasp, or maybe it was a moan, but as long as no one really heard it didn’t matter.
“You alright down there kid?” Morgan calls out, Spencer waves him off.
“All good” he forces out, and he can hear Y/N giggling in his ears.
“Did I almost get you in trouble?” the camera’s pulled back a little further now so he can see her face too, she's biting her lip, playing a tease. “Was it worth it?” she questions.
And the answer is yes. Obviously yes. No matter how many times he saw her like this it would never get old.
“Yeah, you’re—” he stutters, trying to find the words that aren't wildly inappropriate to say out loud here, “You’re so pretty, I can’t wait to see you”
Her face softens for a second at the gesture before she’s right back to mischief. She takes her free hand again and settles it over one of her breasts, grabbing it softly, digging her fingertips into it and kneading. Letting her mouth fall open at the feeling, a quiet little moan escaping.
“How excited are you to see me Spence?” she rasps, and it goes straight to his dick. He readjusts himself in his seat, angling himself so that his satchel is right over his lap. Just in case.
“Really excited?” he’s not sure what else he could possibly say that wouldn’t betray him.
Her face falls a little at his answer, her hand falling from her breasts and trailing down along her stomach. She takes a second to change her position on the sofa, lying down on her back, propped up just a little against the arm rest. His purple shirt now slumped around her shoulders.
She hovers the camera right above her face, taking two of her fingers and placing them in her open mouth. Making a show of swirling her tongue around them thoroughly, hollowing out her cheeks. When she removes them a small string of saliva follows them, leaving a slight shine on her lips and chin that he can’t rip his eyes away from.
“I’ll ask again.” she breathes, “How excited are you to see me Spence?” it’s gentle but commanding and it makes his heart stop for just a beat. He looks up to double check everyone else is busy ignoring him before he speaks. Whispering so quietly into the mic.
“I’m so excited to see you that I’m fucking hard on the jet Y/N” if it sounds frustrated it’s because he is. Squirming in his seat and trying not to let any involuntary noises escape.
“That’s more like it” she moans enthusiastically and continues her movements. Trailing her fingers back down her torso, flipping the camera around so she can more easily film. Tantalizingly slow she dips her fingers inside the waistband of her underwear, teasing herself as well as Spencer.
“Should I take these off Spence?” She questions, and he can pretty much hear her pouting lips as she speaks.
“Uh huh, yeah” he has to gulp down the lump in his throat before he can force the words out. But she starts to ‘tut’, dramatically disapproving.
“You know how this goes baby, you’re gonna have to give me more than that” she chastises, pulling her fingers back out leaving them to linger on top of her stomach, perfectly still, waiting.
He’s getting bolder and more nervous all at once, chancing another look up and down the jet before bringing the mic right to his lips yet again. His voice is low, nervous, and more than a little turned on.
“Take them off, I want to see you touch yourself, I wanna hear you”
She’s satisfied with his answer this time, lifting her hips off the couch so she can shimmy out of her underwear leaving her in nothing but his shirt now.
“And what do you want me to do now Spence?” She’s turned the camera back to her face now, an expression of mock innocence adorning her features as though she genuinely needs instruction. Even for her wicked side this feels like a cruel taunt.
“C’mon Y/N. You know.” He tries to encourage but he knows it’s futile.
“I’ve got no idea” she sticks out her bottom lip before taking it in between her teeth gently biting down. And he’s just trying not to melt. Or maybe just not to cum in his seat.
“Fine” he whispers, gruff but as quiet as he’s been this whole flight, “I want you to stick those fingers right into your tight wet little cunt for me, I want you to make yourself cum and I want to hear everything”
She’s impressed by his boldness, she honestly thought that might be the move that broke him, maybe even made him hang up completely. So this was an encouraging surprise.
“These fingers?” She holds up the two that had been in her mouth earlier, still a little shiny, and he nods. She lets him away with that one, flipping the camera back to focus on her lower half again.
Following the trail of her hand as it ghosts over her breasts, her stomach, her hips, until it comes to rest between her legs. He can’t see it fully from this angle but her can tell she’s rubbing circles around her clit, gathering the wetness there first.
“I said inside sweetheart” it comes out quiet through semi-gritted teeth and she doesn’t need to be told twice. Sinking two fingers inside herself at once, her hips bucking up off the sofa at the jolt of pleasure.
Again, he can’t fully see what’s happening but fuck can he hear it. The wet sounds of her fingers sinking in and out sloppily, the familiar moans she makes when it’s his fingers so deep inside of her. He can’t help but think of the feeling. Her walls tightening, clenching around him in anticipation when he’s not even moving his fingers yet, when they’re just resting in there.
“You’re so pretty” he says, it’s innocuous so he lets himself say it at a normal volume. At least the team will probably just assume something soppy and romantic is going down and leave him alone.
“You think I’m pretty like this, fucking myself on our couch, wearing your shirt” the words drip from her mouth like honey.
“Turn the camera around” he speaks out loud again and she obliges, turning it to show him her face again, along with some of her chest. Both are now coated in the faintest sheen of sweat. Her hairs a little messy from where it’s been moving against the cushions and there’s a flush to her cheeks that wasn’t there before. And she looks perfect.
One thing Spencer has learnt is how to take a screenshot, and he takes full advantage of that function now. Just to capture that perfect image. He could try and remember it but he knows he’d never be able to do her justice.
She sees the notification pop up on her own screen, she doesn’t stop, she just moans the words rather than asking them. “Did you just take my picture?” And he feels caught. Not like he was trying to do anything sneaky, he just thought she looked beautiful.
“I’m— I can delete it!” He rushes out flustered and a small giggle escapes her lips.
“Don’t you dare, I’m just gonna need one of you later”
“Deal” he agrees, shuffling in his seat again, becoming more and more aware of how hard he is in such a public place. He can feel a damp patch forming where he’s already leaking at the thought of getting to finally touch himself. Or her.
“I’ve got an idea” she gasps while the camera is still focused on her face, though it’s obvious that she’s still working her fingers in and out of herself with the way she’s breathing.
“Why don’t you get to the bathroom and show me just how fucking hard you are for me?”
Thankfully the bathroom is right behind his seat so he’s not going to have to walk past anyone to get there. He can’t believe he didn’t go straight there first.
“Hold on gimme a second” he tries to gather his nerve, and strategically pull down his bulky sweater to give him enough leeway to make it to the bathroom, locking the door behind him, and then double checking that lock, before sitting down on the closed toilet seat.
The jet bathroom is poky, with fluorescent lighting, and way more germs than Spencer wants to think about right now. But he’s focused on something else entirely.
While he was moving so was she, having propped up the phone with a book on the coffee table she’s managed to angle the camera so he can see all of her, sitting up on the sofa, teasing herself with both hands now, one working between her legs, the other playing with one of her breasts.
“Fuck” his breath is unsteady and the word shakes as it falls from his lips involuntarily. “I’ve still gotta be quiet in here” he reminds her but she doesn’t seem to care, she probably sees it as more of a challenge than anything.
“Now that we’re alone” she giggles, “put me out of my misery” she must hit a spot inside her self as she’s speaking because she lets out the filthiest moan as she speaks and Spencer almost cums from just the sound.
“Jesus, you’re gonna kill me” he whines, unzipping his slacks, pushing them down along with his briefs, just enough so that he can pull his dick out, gripping it firm with his one free hand. He stifles a groan as he squeezes it and it twitches in his hand, so desperate for stimulation.
“Fuck, your cock is so beautiful” she whines, and she means it, even in the ugly lights of the plane, every part of Spencer was beautiful to her. “God baby, if I was there you know I’d have my lips wrapped around you already, sucking the head just right, love the way you taste” she can feel the slickness continuing to spread between her legs. Slipping in a third finger as she thought about the feeling is Spencer’s cock against her tongue.
“You know I’d take it all in, deep in till you hit the back of my throat. Ugh” she mewls, “miss that feeling, my eyes watering while you fuck my mouth”
Spencer has to stifle what was probably a scream from deep in his lungs. His hand working up and down his length as he let his head fall back against the wall. He let his eyes close for a moment before remembering that there was a show going on right in front of him.
“I think I’m gonna cum” it’s such a quiet little whine and he hopes that the thin walls and the noise of the engines are keeping their little secret as his dick starts to throb in his grip.
“Cum for me baby, show me that pretty cock, I wanna hear you” she’s just teasing him now but he can’t help but give her everything she wants. He moves the camera so as much of him is in frame as possible as he spills all over his hand, still working up and down at a slow pace, working himself through his orgasm.
That’s when he hears the little click and looks back down. She’s got the phone in her hand now, staring intently at him while she continues to get herself off with the other hand.
“Did you take a screenshot?” He asks through heaving breaths.
She nods, her eyes closing, screwing shut, clearly close herself. “You look so pretty when you cum Spence” she moans out, and she’s so loud their neighbors can probably hear everything that’s going on.
“So are you, fuck” he watches intently, listening to the little noises she makes as she rides out her own climax. He’s almost hard again watching her.
When she finally stops she brings the camera in close to her face, taking her slick fingers and showing them to the camera, to Spencer. She sucks them into her mouth, teasing them against her lips before removing them with a pop.
“I’m gonna get fucking hard again if you don’t quit it” he whispers harsh into the mic, cleaning himself up so he can return to his seat for landing.
“Well then you better rush home before I go getting ideas” she winks at him, pulling his shirt back up onto her shoulders to cover herself a little.
“Don’t you dare move” he rushes out, already planning out what he’s going to do to her the second he gets in the door.
“Oh I won’t, I’ll keep myself busy. I’ve got my new picture of you to keep me entertained”

Idiots Like Lockhart
Pairing: Severus Snape x Reader
Requested by: anon (mix of two requests as they were VERY similar)
Summary: Lockhart’s shameless flirting is getting to you.
AN: so the first of the kinktober fics is queued up! Things are getting busy w school (and I also recently got animal crossing new horizons and Tom Nook do be keeping me in debt) so things may be slow or erratic in terms of uploads.
Warning: unwanted flirting
Tumblr media
“Good morning, YN!”
Resisting the urge to roll your eyes, you plastered a strained smile on your face as you turned to your colleague.
“Morning, Gilderoy,” you said politely, before turning back to your porridge. You didn’t need to look to your other side to know that Severus was tensing up.
“I trust you got my owl?”
Sighing, you set your spoon down. “I did, Gilderoy. The answer is still no, no matter how many autographed pictures you put in the envelope. I’m not going to the Three Broomsticks with you,” with a huff, you abandoned your breakfast and made your way to your classroom, really not in the mood for Lockhart’s pathetic flirting today. If Severus would just come out and say that you were together, you wouldn’t have this issue. Everyone on the staff already knew you had been a couple for two years now, so you didn’t see the point in hiding it from Lockhart. Perhaps Severus merely wanted to wait for the right opportunity (he was a bit of a drama queen with his sweeping black robes and low drawling voice) but still.
In an increasingly foul mood, you groaned when you spotted a lilac envelope on your desk, your name written in swirly purple handwriting. Pursing your lips, you swept it aside, soon letting your first class in. The lesson went without a hitch until a giggling group of third year girls saw your envelope.
“Oooo, is that from Professor Lockhart?” One girl asked, her friends squealing slightly when you nodded. “Oh! Open it professor! I bet he fancies you! Imagine that, a real life celebrity sending our teacher love notes!”
You sighed and kept a level head. “Miss Beckett, my correspondence with my colleagues is none of your concern, do remember that,” you said, gently but firmly, before holding up the note. You read it quickly to yourself and rolled your eyes, before tapping it smartly with your wand and muttering ‘incendio’. Several of the girls gasped as the pretty paper burst into flames, but a few of the boys grinned.
You swept the ashes into your waste paper bin, before turning to the chalkboard, the chalk magically beginning to write as you explained the basics of the new topic you were covering with your class. All was going fine until there was a burst of knocking on your door. You flicked your wand at it to open it, half expecting a student on a message from another professor.
Instead, you were met with the sight of someone who was quickly moving up your list of least favourite people. “Professor Lockhart,” you said through gritted teeth. “Is there a problem? Surely not another one of your practical lessons have descended into chaos? I’d expect better from such an... accomplished wizard,” your backhanded comment did not go unnoticed- someone muttered from the back of the class ‘I thought that vampire seemed a bit stupid!’
Lockhart’s boyish grin fell slightly, but he stepped into the room. “YN-”
“Professor YLN, if you don’t mind,” you said cooly, turning back to your chalkboard. There was a snort of laughter from the left of the room which was quickly covered up by a fake cough. “Now, class, it’s a common misconception that the-”
“YN, please, just listen to me! I understand your worries, but a little drink at the three broomsticks will do no harm. We won’t get hounded by paparazzi, darling. If you’re that worried about a public scandal, I can put a concealment charm on you,” he said, smirking as he winked at a few of the students. His arrogance caused anger to finally flare up inside you. The chalk clattered to the floor as your focus was torn away from teaching.
“Professor Lockhart, I suggest you leave my classroom this instant before I hex you into next month,” you said, eyes flashing with rage. “And for the record, I would never go anywhere with an arrogant, self-centred, immature fool like you, no matter how many pathetic love notes and inappropriate interruptions to my lessons you make. As a matter of fact, I’ll be reporting the harassment to Professor Dumbledore, so tread very carefully, Gilderoy, or so help me god,” you glared at him, your wand clutched tightly in your hand. “Now get out and leave my class in peace. We have important content to learn,” you had slowly been backing him out of the room and slammed the door in his face, before storming back to your desk. “Books out. Answer the questions on the board,” you instructed your class.
“That was brilliant, Professor!” Someone commented and you couldn’t help the small smile that twitched on your lips.
“Thank you, Benjamin,” you said bashfully, before burying yourself in your work. You dismissed the class when the bell went, and sighed. You wanted nothing more than to curl up with Severus, but you still had a few more classes to teach.
***
Later that day, you and the majority of the staff were sat around in the staff room, drinking tea and chatting, although you kept to yourself. Most had heard about your rant at Lockhart, but you still hadn’t seen Severus- what if he was angry? What if all this was simply too much for him?
When he swept into the room with Lockhart on his coat tails, jabbering on about a duelling club, you tossed your book aside. Without really thinking, you flung yourself into sev’s arms, burying your face in his neck. Minerva and Albus smiled at one another, knowing how much comfort you sought in each other’s arms as Severus rubbed your back, frowning. “Are you alright, my love?” He murmured, kissing your temple.
“Much better now I’m with you,” you replied, pulling back and pressing a gentle kiss to his mouth. Without another word, you walked back to your shared chambers in the dungeons as you explained what had you so tense that day.
Lockhart was left gaping, his mouth opening and closing but no sound coming out, rather like a goldfish. “She... what... HIM?” He said incredulously looking around the staffroom.
“Oh yes,” Dumbledore said cheerfully. “Severus and YN... such a strong love they have for one another...” he hummed, popping a sherbet lemon into his mouth and looking off dreamily.
“You’re very welcome to place your bet, Gilderoy,” said Professor Sprout grinning. “So far ive got 10 galleons on it happening by easter, Filius bets 15 by Valentines Day, and we’ve got Minerva betting 50 by the New Year half term! Should I put you in the book?”
“Betting? What for?” Lockhart demanded.
“On when Severus will propose to YN,” Flitwick said brightly.
“Speaking of which, Pomona, I want to change my bet to October half term. Something tells me Severus isn’t likely to leave it any longer...”

Tumblr media
➤ KOKICHI OMA & NAGITO KOMAEDA
⤷ Contrary to bystander belief, this relationship would be as boisterous as it is philanthropic; built upon a foundation of veiled compassion.
⤷ Whilst your boyfriends contradict traditional conveyance of affection, there’s no doubt they truly do appreciate you. But neither could compare to the benevolence you’ve granted the duo.
⤷ Albeit in rather old-school conveyance, you persistently seek forms of portrayal for your affections. Whether it be the occasional handwritten notes left beside the plates of breakfast you’d left behind for the two, each expressing your fondness and wishing them a wonderful rest of their day.
⤷ Or even the splurge of gifts for the two, purchasing trinkets you believe they’d enjoy. And, for every dollar spent, it’ll all be worth the million-dollar gleam that brushes upon their eyes.
⤷ Nagito infatuated with the idea that someone would dare spend money on scum like him, much less buy him something they insisted he’d be interested in. It’s a foreign sense, an exotic appreciation in which you’d taken the time out of your schedule to even think of him.
⤷ And as he’s about to spout his gratitude and disbelief upon such devotion to trash such as himself, he’s cut off by the infamous trickster himself.
⤷ “Save that crap. What about me? Where’s my gift? Huh, huh?” Kokichi’s petite stature leaning to the right as he attempts to catch a glimpse of what you could possibly have in store for him.
⤷ Paying no heed to the interruption of his valuation, Nagito smiles fondly as he eyes the amethyst-haired male eagerly bounces on the balls of his heels, awaiting his gift, though impatiently.
⤷ One would assume you’d get fed up at his persistent antics but, in all honesty, it was one of the many things you―along with Nagito―had appreciated.
⤷ Even amidst moments in which the air is stilled, tension doused in the form of metaphoric clouds above your heads, he’s bustling with a rowdiness that shows no hintings of dissipation.
⤷ And as you reveal the gadget hidden behind your back, presenting it to your practically vibrating-in-anticipation boyfriend, you swore not even the stars could capture the illumination of glee that brushed upon his lilac eyes. His hands reaching forward with such fervor that he was seemingly a blur within that very moment.
⤷ “You didn’t!” He professed in disbelief, lips split into a grand smirk as he eyes the gift you’d presented him; a water gun.
⤷ Albeit an inkling of concern swirled within your gut upon his sinister cackle as he testingly aims at Nagito, in which the taller male’s eyes widen in surprise as he raises his hands in surrender―his own gift within his left hand.
⤷ Upon Nagito’s reaction, Kokichi’s cackles morphed into wicked chuckles as he feigns to reload his water gun with imaginative ammo.
⤷ “That’s right, put ‘em up.” He jests. All the while, you rolled your eyes with an amused visage of your own at the sight of your shorter boyfriend’s antics.
⤷ A Pavlovian reaction from the younger male, eagerly jumping the gun—quite literally—and pestering Nagito to engage in his games, claiming he’d be the perfect companion. (Though, by this, it usually meant the perfect individual to carry him piggyback due to his tall stature.)
⤷ Nonetheless, the sight of your boyfriends joining forces against you with the gift you’d bought is undeniably one you cherish. Even as you sprint full speed through the household, dodging the blasts of water aimed towards you.
⤷ Despite Nagito’s persistent insistence that you’d be better suited to entertain Kokichi than a mere nobody like him, the aforementioned amethyst-haired male that assures him he’s the only one capable.
⤷ It isn’t the common occurrence to be of witness to Kokichi’s considerate moments; withdrawing himself from his playful nature to build another’s esteem.
⤷ And thus, it’s even more satisfying to bask in Nagito’s united laughter with Kokichi’s manic cackles as you narrowly avoid a blast of water. The former carrying the ladder on his back—rather easily due to how light Kokichi is—and dashing after you.
⤷ It’s a laugh so carefree—so riddled in unhindered joy—you almost couldn’t believe this was the same, unabashed laugh of your self-degrading boyfriend.
⤷ Not even Kokichi was immune to the flurry of butterflies within the encompass of your stomachs as he, too, smiled giddily upon the melodic laughter, a roseate decorating his pallid cheeks in momentary euphoria.
⤷ In the beginnings of your gifts, Nagito struggled immensly to accept them. Even as he blushed a hue so fiercely—face burning with awe as sweat began to dampen his rosette skin—he insisted he couldn’t accept any gift from someone of your ethereality.
⤷ He swore up and down that he was already taking far too much of you and Kokichi by intruding on the relationship, much less, garner your affections.
⤷ Though, with time, he steadily learned to see past the hindrance of his self-loathing, it was still rather difficult to bear witness to the one who’d claimed both of your hearts to avoid your conveyances due to their poor views of themself.
⤷ Much to your delight, he’s now discovering value within himself as he peers through the lens of you and Kokichi’s combined love. It’s a gradual process but one that you’re more than willing to wait for to see the treasure of Nagito truly loving—if not love—than tolerating himself.
⤷ With every conveyance of your affections, you hope that your love can be transferred to the two, and assist them in melting through the walls of their hindrances; their shields in which they’d desperately hid their vulnerabilities from the world.
⤷ Whether it be through the gifts in which your taller boyfriend would insist that he was undeserving of and promise to return the favor with a gift of his own whilst the shorter would use your gifts against you, similarly to the water gun incident, comically; love letters; domestic care; reassuring consolation; service.
⤷ Anything that could possibly provide insight of the affectiom you’d withheld for the two, you’d committed to with a fiery passion. Not a trace of hesitancy or delay.
⤷ Typically, within the day-to-day, you and Nagito would withhold a majority of the materate responsibilities. Though Nagito eagerly offers to take the workload upon himself entirely, there’s no denying the softening of his eyes as you reject his offer and, rather, offer to take the workload off of him.
⤷ He appreciates your insistence, especially the way you’d put his wellbeing within the realm of priority. A hierarchy he’d never considered himself within, so to think that you could do so much as care for his state is more than he could ever ask for.
⤷ Truth be told, one of Nagito’s favorite domestic activities to complete alongisde you is laundry. The intimacy of being able to sit alongside you and fold the articles of clothing whilst chatting, blissfully distracted, is serene.
⤷ More so, the lighthearted, momentary comedic relief of revealing that your underwear was within his clutches is always a treat. Especially when you’d rapidly swipe the garment with the inklings of embarrassment within your grin.
⤷ Though he does have quite a habit of sniffing the fresh clothing. The extent to which he does so is—by bystander perspective—questionable, but he promises that he merely adores the cleanliness of the warm clothing. (And that even after the garments trip through the washing machine, there still is the lingering of both his lovers’ scents.)
⤷ Kokichi has offered to help at times—though usually with an intentional entirely other than to actually do laundry. The petite, amethyst-haired trickster sedentary between you and Nagito as he sloppily folds the clothes.
⤷ It’s blatant that his mind is elsewhere as he appears less than pleased whilst assisting. Even offering to “spice things up” and tosses a pair of socks at you and Nagito with a wicked giggle.
⤷ Sometimes he’ll even steal some of your—you and Nagito’s—clothes and wear them while working, claiming they make his Ultimate Supreme Leader senses at top-notch. To which Nagito agrees with, mindlessly, as he mumbles something about wanting to appease the wishes of a leader.
⤷ But, of all the domestic activities Kokichi has taken part in—not much but still—he claims that cooking together has to be his favorite.
⤷ Not only because he adores being the taste-tester—of course, as the Ultimate Supreme Leader, he must test it first to assure that it’s adequate for his beloveds—but because he’s enamored with the teamwork; the collaboration.
⤷ Not within a lifetime will Kokichi ever explicitly confess such, but he admires the notion of teamwork. To make a collaborative effort and genuinely place dependence upon one another to reach an end goal... he finds the idea to be so far from the encompass of his will that he adores the conception of it.
⤷ He, himself, struggles with depending on others. Opting for completing everything on his own and taking charge in the form of claiming stake upon the workload.
⤷ So being able to ask of you to grab something and to be able to complete the order asked of him—he’s usually the mixer—it’s euphoric for him. And, along with this, he truly does enjoy cooking.
⤷ Though his skills are rather questionable due to only being able to properly create a selective variety of dishes. But when he does succeed, it’s an absolute delight to be able to taste it. Nagito sometimes claims the dishes to be something akin to that of an Ultimate Chef.
⤷ A love delievered through the swan-sunken eyes of sensuality, fingers brushed upon one another as you go about your daily lives, is a love in which your two lovers value above all. To be cared for even when there are other priorities, it’s empowering.
⤷ However, amidst the serenity of the closest of affections, nothing can counter their equally preferred time of day; the nighttime cuddles.
⤷ Laying atop the mattress that could just about fit the three of you, entangled limbs drawing each of you closer as the warmth of the blanket barely rivals that of your bodies. Each of your breaths rhythmic of one another.
⤷ Kokichi’s form—by his drowsy request—between your bodies as he rests his back against Nagito’s chest, gazing up at you with a rare yet genuine grin riddled with the inklings of slumber.
⤷ The aforementioned male coiling his arms around the waist of your boyfriend, too, has his arm extenting outwards towards you, pulling you into the spooning as well. Much to Kokichi’s delight, the ladder instantaneously latching his legs around your hips, pulling you into his arms.
⤷ Yet the most blissful of these moments in which true adorations lie is the most miniscule of all. It’s so peaceful; such tranquility to be within each other’s arms as each of you is gradually lulled to sleep.
⤷ And yet, it’s as uneventful as it is impactful. Perhaps it was the nights in which each of your boyfriends felt sleep come easier? Perhaps it was the warmth of your collective bodies that brought upon the savory bliss?
⤷ Or perhaps it was the way that as each of them gazed upon—meeting your eyes with each of their infatuated own—there was a fire alit. One in which, after the periods in which you’ve all spent together; learned together; changed together, had never seemed to fade.
⤷ Not even as they, too, know they’re pushing your limits, irritating you to no bounds. Not even as they find their moment sin which they’re far too sluggish to be of decent assistance. Not even during the meltdowns in which they’d shut you out of their heart and recline to their suppressive defense.
⤷ There was never a moment in which the flames of had dwindled; an eternal ember of compassion. Not even throughout the sabotage of their demeanor. And not even as you flutter your eyes shut, enveloping slumber within your embrace.
⤷ The searing of love within your eyes had never faltered and that, on its own, is enough to reign over each of their hearts—assuring them that they, truly, are lovable without condition—and lull them to sleep as well.

Can u write a small fic where a female intern is flirting shamelessly with ethan and he is completely unaware of it😂😂(well his mind is actually not on her but on lilac he just pretends to listen😂🤣) and lilac sees this sets intern in her place(they r married at that point) and it is only fair if lilac is also jealous😛
Autograph
Book: Open Heart Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x f!MC  (Dr. Lilac Allende) Word count: 800 Warning: language   
Tumblr media
It isn't until the roaring of the blender comes to a complete stop that Ethan realizes someone has been talking to him this whole time. Although, in all honesty, his distraction had nothing to do with the crowded, bustling coffeehouse and everything to do with the picture coming into his phone's inbox. Lilac's beautiful face contorted into the most ridiculous expression, one Ethan always pretends to mock even when it leaves him glowing with contentment. 
“Dr. Ramsey?” a voice says next to him. 
It's a short, blonde intern he remembers from rounds that morning. At least, he thinks it's the same one he is remembering. They all blend together into a swirl of terrified faces at this point. 
The blonde smiles coyly, parting her lips deliberately, her posture straightening. 
Ethan is unmoved, teetering on the edge of impatience. 
“Dr. Ramsey,” she repeats, his name uttered with the cadence of a breathless murmur. It  almost drowns in the clattering background, forcing him to strain to hear her. 
Ethan is already annoyed. 
“Is there something I can do for you, Doctor. Or can it wait until after I'm done enjoying a scrap of peace during my free time?” 
The young intern pouts her lips and, to Ethan's dismay, she doesn't look offended or discouraged. Instead, she produces a hardcover book from her bag, holding it up to Ethan like an of offering to a vengeful god. 
When he peers down at it, he can see it's a brand new copy of his book, complete with plastic wrap and price tag. 
“I was wondering if you could sign my book?” She makes her voice deliberately melodious, no doubt thinking it irresistible. 
“No.”
This does give her pause. 
“What? But—” 
“I don't do autographs.”
The brash intern opens her mouth as though to argue. Ethan waits, almost stunned with disbelief, though his face betrays nothing. Maybe Lilac is right (as always) and he was going soft. No intern who valued their job or their dignity would have dared challenged him years ago. 
Well, except maybe one. 
“Don't take it personally,” a soft voice says from a few feet away, sending every nerve ending in his body into high alert. “The last time he autographed someone's book, the person just gave it away as if it were a Nicholas Sparks novel.”
Ethan readies a stern, disapproving glare but the sight of Lilac, looking fiercely irresistible in an elegant and rather form fitting pant suit, easily inspires a fond smile instead. Lilac, on the other hand, is far from smiling, sending a cool, assessing look at the puzzled intern. 
“It was an overall traumatic experience for him so he doesn't do them anymore.”
Ethan narrows his eyes at her when their gazes finally meet. This brightens her expression with amusement, the hard edge of her features softening considerably as she gives him a charming little smile. 
“I don't under—” the befuddled intern begins. 
The words halt abruptly, however, because at that very moment, Lilac settles into his side, her arm encircling his waist, her body fitting like a puzzle piece against his. Green eyes glance up to meet his from behind those cute spectacles she started wearing a few years back, her cheeks glowing the prettiest shade of pink from the mid October chill. Pulse affluter, he decides he cannot resist another second without kissing her in greeting. 
The intern, whom Ethan had forgotten about, lets out a surprised squeak. 
“Dr. Ramsey, I didn't know you were—” 
“Married?” He doesn't hide the irritation at being interrupted. “Happily so. A fact you could have discovered with a modicum of research before deciding to flirt with one of your attendings.”
The intern clutches the book to her chest, mortified. In the end, she escapes back to Edenbrook, dignity in shreds. 
“You are quite the celebrity, Dr. Ramsey, ” Lilac teases, exaggerating the intern's breathy tone. 
The tiny space around them tightens with customers and Ethan pulls her close in front of him. 
“Are you jealous, Dr. Allende?” 
“Yes,” she returns without hesitation. “I'm big enough to admit I don't enjoy it when my husband gets hit on with my own autograph move.”
Ethan laughs. 
Hands at the dip of her waist, he leans in to whisper, “So are you finally admitting you were hitting on me that day?” 
“In your dreams, Dr. Ramsey. ” 
She is taunting him again, her voice an alluring, breathy murmur. Hearing it from her in that sexy, dark whisper, has his skin humming like an exposed wire. 
“Say it again.”
“Your name?” 
“Yes. The same way you just did.”
She gives him a devilish little smirk, eyes glinting in the gold lighting of the coffee shop. Her voice is a lush whisper, barely audible over the blenders, but Ethan leans in to catch every word. 
“No. I only call you that at work,” she begins casually. Then her voice plunges dangerously. “Or in bed.”
Ethan groans. 
The barista calls out their order, completely breaking the spell. 
“Come on,” she says with a laugh, tugging at his hand. “We only have twenty minutes of lunch left. For now, I'll have to keep you awake and alert with good coffee.”
Tumblr media
A/N: Again, a little piece of nothingness. Thank you anon for this. And also, other anons (old and new) I am working on a few of your requests! (Coming up are the Ethan with the kids request, the parent jealousy request, and Naveen with a neighbor request from months ago)
Thank you for reading!

Her Matching Pair of Socks - George Weasley
Tumblr media
Title: Her Matching Pair of Socks Pairing: George x Fem!Reader, Adrian Pucey x Fem!Reader (ish, not really) Summary: George will always protect Y/N, even if it means confronting his true feelings . A/N: for the anon who wanted George being overprotective of the reader who was being teased!! The house of the reader is unspecified b/c it truly doesn’t matter but I pictured her as a Hufflepuff as I wrote, please do with that what you will haha. Feedback is always welcome!!! Tags: @feltondarling​ @pandaxnienke​ @raerae27​ @thefifthweasley 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“George? George?” Y/N asks, waving her hand in front of his face. She giggles as his eyes seem to refocus on the world and he smiles at her. “Were you listening to anything I just said?”
George nods as he searches his brain, trying to see if any part of it retained any of the things Y/N had been talking about just a second ago while he’d been daydreaming. Y/N is magnetic. She has warm eyes, a kind smile and the biggest heart George has ever seen. She draws people in with one look, and once she’s captured them they have no chance of getting away; not that they’d want to. Unfortunately for George this means he rarely gets a moment alone with her, which is something he so desperately craves. Y/N has been the star of George’s thoughts since the first moment they met when she had quite literally saved his ass.
He and Fred had just pulled a prank on a few Slytherins and were running away from Snape. They had split up at some point, and as George ran away he could hear Snape gaining on him. George was sure he was about to be caught when a hand grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked him into an empty classroom. Y/N had simply placed her finger over her mouth and winked at him, and as soon as Snape ran by their hiding spot she’d burst out in a fit of giggles. George had never heard anything so beautiful, and he sat there with her for hours, sometimes talking, but mostly just watching her knit. Y/N is sunshine encapsulated, and George could have sat there for days, basking in her rays of light and warmth.
Fred had found him eventually and dragged him back to the Gryffindor common room, and George worried that he’d never see her again. But the next morning at breakfast the hat she had been knitting was sitting in his usual spot waiting for him, and when his eyes met hers across the Hall she winked. From that moment on George has been caught in Y/N’s magnetic field, constantly swirling around her but never quite connecting the way he wants.
“Were you? Then what did I say?” she questions with a grin, one of her eyebrows raising.
George’s heart melts and he leans in closer to her, resting his chin on his hand. “I’m sorry, love. I wasn’t giving you the attention you deserve. Tell me again.”
Y/N rolls her eyes playfully and puts her knitting needles down so she can ruffle George’s hair. “That’s okay, Georgie. It wasn’t that important anyway. What’s on your mind?”
“Just this Transfiguration assignment,” he lies. George isn’t quite sure why he hasn’t shared his true feelings with Y/N, and it’s not as if he hasn’t tried either. There have been quite a few times when his confession was resting on the tip of his tongue, but each time someone ended up being drawn to Y/N and stole her attention away. “McGonagall’s really giving it to us this term.”
“Maybe your assignments would be easier to handle if you didn’t wait until the last minute to do them?” Y/N suggests with a wink.
George’s heart flutters in his chest and he has to take a deep breath to calm himself down. “Ah yes, but if I didn’t leave my homework until the day before it was due then who would sit here with you and keep you company while everyone else is outside soaking up the last of the weekend?” George is sure that anyone Y/N asked for companionship would drop everything to sit with her, and he feels honored that she always chooses him.
“Now how can I argue with that?” she teases, picking her needles up once again.
Watching Y/N knit is one of George’s favorite pastimes. She’s tried to teach him a few times, but he always ends up just creating a big knot of yarn and using the needles as drumsticks. The way her fingers move mesmerizes George to no end and he loves watching whatever she’s making start to take form before his eyes. More often than not whatever she’s making somehow always ends up in George’s possession, not that he’s complaining. So far this school year he’s added two new jumpers, three hats, a scarf and half a dozen pairs of socks to his wardrobe. Every item radiates the same warmth Y/N does, and on days where he can’t have her to himself he puts something on and when he closes his eyes it’s as if she’s right there with him.
“Whatcha makin?” George asks, completely abandoning any attempt at finishing his homework. McGonagall will probably be shocked that he did any of it at all, and he doesn’t want to put her into an early grave by actually finishing it.
“A sweater,” she responds sweetly, not looking up from her work. “And before you ask, no it’s not for you,” she chuckles and gestures towards the skein of yarn she’s using. “Though you may recognize the yarn.”
The yarn Y/N is using is a soft lilac color with glitter interwoven throughout the soft strands and George recognizes it because he’s the one who bought it. He and Fred had ventured into Diagon Alley a few days before Christmas to check out the space they were thinking about opening their joke shop in, and the yarn had caught George’s attention from a window display. He spent quite a bit of money buying every skein the store had, but it was all worth it to him. Lilac is Y/N’s favorite color, and George would do just about anything to see her smile. He gave it to her on the first day back from break a few weeks ago, and he can practically still feel how tightly she had hugged him.
“Does look kinda familiar, I bet a world class bloke gave that to you,” he jokes. Y/N laughs, and it makes George’s stomach feel queasy.
“Best bloke I know anyway,” she compliments with a wink.
George can feel his cheeks heating up, and he’s thankful for the distraction when students start to pour into the Great Hall for dinner. He sighs heavily and starts to pack his homework up, disappointed that his time with Y/N is already coming to an end. “See you in class tomorrow?”
Y/N nods as she stands up, gathering her latest project into her arms. “Most definitely, Georgie.” She leans over and boops him on the nose, before turning away and heading towards her house table.
“Hello lover boy,” Fred greets suddenly.
George jumps, having been too focused on Y/N to notice his brother’s sudden presence. He glares at Fred as he plops into the seat next to George, and he smacks him on the chest. “Screw off.” Suddenly the tables in the Great Hall fill with everything needed for dinner, and George starts piling his plate with food. “You get everything we need?”
Fred nods as he does the same as his brother. “Oh yeah. We’ve got enough Chinese gun powder to level all of England. It’ll be delivered to the store next weekend. We can apperate to Diagon Alley from Hogsmeade to meet the delivery person.”
“Wicked,” George responds, a glint of mischief in his eye. Fred had used the secret passageway into Honeydukes basement to meet a guy who deals with explosives at the Hogshead Inn. They’re starting to put their plans together for their joke shop, and the first step has been to find decent suppliers so they can start producing some stock. “You take care of the other stuff I asked?”
Fred rolls his eyes and hands George a bag from Honeydukes. “Yes, you big softie. I got everything on the list, don’t you worry.”
“Thanks, prat.” George takes the bag from Fred and peers inside to make sure he actually did pick up everything George requested. Y/N’s sweet tooth is one of George’s favorite things about her and he’s always sure to have a stash of her favorites on hand at all times. “Where’s my change?”
Fred grins and pats his pocket. “Consider it my fee so you could spend the day staring at Y/N inside the warm castle, while I tread through a dark underground tunnel.”
“Whatever, drama queen,” George huffs with an eyeroll. He puts the bag down and starts to eat, turning his attention to Y/N. She’s sitting with her friends talking happily, and George can feel his heart rate increase as a smile spreads across his face. But just as quickly as it appears it vanishes, when Adrian Pucey comes up behind Y/N and taps her on the shoulder. He watches her nod as they talk, and when Adrian walks away he looks way too smug with himself.
“That didn’t look good,” Fred comments, nudging George with his elbow.
George shrugs, trying to seem like his stomach isn’t churning with dread. “You know how Y/N is. People like talking to her. I’m sure it’s nothing.”
-
“What did Adrian want yesterday?” George asks Y/N the following evening, trying to sound casual. They’re sitting in the library working on a Potions assignment, and it seems like there has been a never ending stream of people approaching them to speak with Y/N. He’s been dying to ask her about Adrian, but he wanted to wait until they were alone.
Y/N bites her lip as she looks up at George. “He asked me on a date, actually. To Hogsmeade next weekend.”
“Oh,” George says softly. His stomach has dropped into the floor and it feels like he was punched in the chest. “What did you say?”
“I told him that I would think about it.” Y/N gives George a look and there’s an unreadable expression on her face. “Do you think I should say yes?”
The tips of George’s ears feel like they’re on fire, and he has to put his quill down so he can wipe his sweaty palms off on his school trousers. What he wants to say is no, that she should go with him to Hogsmeade instead, and then lean forward and kiss her. But instead he shrugs and says, “If you want to, I guess.”
“Oh, okay,” Y/N responds quietly, twirling a piece of hair around her finger. “Thanks, I guess.”
George refocuses his attention on his homework for once, hoping that the sound of his heart pounding in his chest isn’t audible.
-
The next day by lunch time word has gotten to George that Y/N agreed to go on a date with Adrian. It makes his chest feel hollow, and he avoids her gaze at all costs. He avoids her in the hallways and when she asks to study with him in the library George brushes her off, claiming that he already has plans with Fred. He can tell that she’s upset, and it breaks George’s heart as he walks away.
He’s never been jealous over Y/N before. Even though he craves her presence and would give anything to spend every moment of every day with her, George has never minded sharing her with others. He’s spent countless hours with Y/N where they never even speak because her attention is captured by other people. Whether it’s people catching her in a casual conversation, or someone who takes a seat with them for a deeper interaction. George has always been content to just sit there and watch her face light up as she talks about whatever topic is at hand. Even if he’s not around Y/N, he loves to watch her from across the room as she talks to people. He finds everything she does absolutely adorable, and Fred often teases him for how hard he swoons.
But the thought of Y/N being alone with Adrian fills his chest with so much jealousy it feels like he’s drowning in it. He knows he has no right to be jealous, he’s never shared his romantic feelings with Y/N, and she isn’t his girlfriend or even a girl he’s casually dated. She’d even asked his opinion on whether she should accept. And instead of doing the smart thing and just telling her how he feels, he’d basically brushed her off.
As much as George wants to avoid Y/N, he’s still stuck in her orbit, so on Wednesday afternoon during break he parts ways with Fred and heads over to Y/N. “Got room for one more?” he asks, grinning down at her. Y/N moves over but doesn’t say anything. George frowns as he sits down. “What’s got you down, clown?”
Y/N cracks the faintest smile before she lets it fall from her features. “Just wasn’t sure you were talking to me is all. You haven’t been around lately.”
“I’m around now,” George points out, swallowing the lump in his throat. “I’m sorry, Y/N. I’ve just been a bit busy with Fred is all. You’re still my number one girl.” George’s heart feels like it’s about to beat out of his chest as he raises up one of his pantlegs. “I wouldn’t be rockin’ these bad boys if you weren’t.”
Y/N giggles as she looks at George’s sock, shoving him playfully. It’s neon pink and is truly the most offensive piece of clothing she’s ever seen. The yarn had been left over from a Christmas present she made for a young cousin a few years ago, and Y/N needed to use it up somehow. She originally planned on leaving them in her sock drawer for a few months before donating them to a charity, but the second George saw them he nabbed them from her, and he’s worn them quite a few times sense.
“They look wonderful, Georgie. Though I think it’s best you keep them hidden, they clash terribly with your Gryffindor tie and your fiery hair.” Y/N reaches up and tugs on a strand of George’s hair and he can feel his blood pressure spike.
“Well in that case.” George leans down and rolls up the cuff of both his pant legs, so a few inches of the socks are visible. “How do I look?”
“Ravishing,” Y/N says with a laugh.
It’s the most beautiful sound George has ever heard, and it sends a shiver down his spine. “Bet you wished you kept these for yourself now, don’t ya?”
Before Y/N can respond, one of her other friends swoops in to talk to her about her upcoming date with Adrian, and George sneaks away to avoid the heart break.
-
“Are you excited for your date?” Y/N’s friend Emily asks as they head towards the entrance to the castle.
Y/N nods happily, letting her eyes scan the crowd of people heading out of the castle. She gets her hopes up when she spots a shock of ginger hair bobbing above the crowd, but they evaporate when the person turns around and it turns out to be Fred. Y/N hasn’t seen George in three days, and his absence has been driving her crazy. She’s friendly with everyone but only has a few true friends, and she considers George to be one of them. She would even consider George to be her best friend, and it feels weird to not have spoken to him in a few days.
“What are you guys going to do?” Emily asks, pulling Y/N’s attention back to the present.
“Just have some butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, hang out, talk. Nothing too super crazy. I don’t really know Adrian that well, so I think it’ll give us a nice chance to get to know each other.”
Y/N had agreed to meet Adrian there, so when her and Emily reach Hogsmeade a few minutes later, she parts from her with a wave and heads right into the pub. She grabs a drink at the bar before settling in at a table in the back corner. When Adrian is 5 minutes late Y/N brushes it off, figuring that he got caught up leaving the castle or lost track of time. When he’s 30 minutes late, Y/N has already ordered another drink, figuring that he’ll be there any minute. And when he doesn’t show up after an hour Y/N decides to throw the towel in and head back to the castle.
Y/N feels emotionally drained as she makes her way back up towards Hogwarts, and she blinks back a few tears. Even though she’s not particularly interested in Adrian romantically, it had felt nice to be asked out and she truly was looking forward to getting to know him more. She always gives anyone who wants it a piece of her day, and Adrian not showing up make her feel as if she’s been taken advantage of. Her plan is to try and forget this ever happened until dinner that evening.
Y/N turns around when she feels something hit her in the back of the head, and when she turns around she can see Adrian, Marcus Flint and Theodore Knott laughing amongst themselves. There’s a piece of balled up parchment on the ground, and Y/N tries to ignore their stares as she leans down to pick it up.
How was the butterbeer? Lonely?
Y/N’s cheeks feel like they’re on fire, and she quickly turns back into her seat, shoving the piece of parchment into her pocket. She forces her tears away as she tries to get back into the conversation going on around her, unable to stop herself from searching George out in the crowd.
-
For the next week it seems everywhere she goes Adrian, Marcus and Theo are following a few paces behind. They never directly talk to her, but they talk about her loud enough for her to hear.
“Can’t believe she actually thought I wanted to go out with her!”
“How pathetic. I can’t believe it took her over an hour to realize you weren’t going to show up! What a moron.”
“She’s such a weirdo, no wonder she has no actual friends.”
It doesn’t help that George seems to be avoiding her as well. He doesn’t pass her stupid little notes in class anymore and when their eyes lock across the Great Hall he immediately looks away instead of giving her a cheeky grin. Every time she tries to ask him to come sit with her in the library he turns the other way in the hall before she catches him, and when she catches a peak of him and Fred outside pelting snowballs at Ron, he’s wearing his Gryffindor beanie, instead of one of her knit caps.
She misses George like crazy. He’s one of the only people who doesn’t want something from her. Most people only spend time with Y/N when they need to vent or ask her a question. George is the only person who is content with just sitting there with her in silence while they do their homework, or she knits. She could sit in silence with George for hours and just exist, so having him gone while also being tormented by Adrian and his gang has left Y/N with a deep ache in her chest and a pit of loneliness in her stomach.
-
Avoiding Y/N has to be the hardest thing George has ever done, and he once spent a week with his Great Aunt Tessie when he was 8. He craves her presence, but the thought of hearing about Adrian endlessly makes his stomach churn. Watching Y/N’s face fall every time he dodged her absolutely broke George’s heart, but he can’t stand to see someone else make her happy.
“You think she’s going to cry?”
George grimaces when he’s brought from his thoughts of Y/N and notices that Adrian and his goons are a few feet in front of him. Most of the school is in the Great Hall having dinner, but George didn’t feel like eating. Y/N had spent most of Transfiguration trying to get George’s attention, and ignoring her has left his stomach queasy.
“Reckon she might with how soft she is. Bet she’s cried herself to sleep every night this week.”
He has no idea who they’re talking about and he figures they’re tormenting some first year who is walking ahead of them. George is a little too far behind them to see who it is, but he decides to follow them anyway, in case he needs to intervene.
“What a stupid girl.”
Adrian’s words cut George deep. How could Y/N be interested in someone like him? George clenches his fist and starts to walk faster to catch up with them. He’s been wanting to smack Adrian and his smug face since the day he asked Y/N out, and this seems like a perfect excuse.
“Will you leave me alone!” Y/N shouts, and George’s blood runs cold. Her voice is shaky, and George knows that if she’s not already crying she will be soon.
Adrian, Marcus and Theodore stop in their tracks and cackle, and the sound makes George even angrier.
“Aw, poor pathetic Y/N has finally managed to stand up for herself. How cute,” Adrian taunts.
Y/N sniffles, and George can feel anger swell up in his chest. “Standing me up wasn’t enough for you, was it? Now you have to torment me about it too? Is that why you asked me out? So you could be mean to me?”
“Why else would someone ask you out? You’re not worth anyone’s time.”
George reaches them then, and he grips is wand tightly in one hand while the other grips the collar of Adrian’s shirt. He pulls him back sharply, causing Marcus and Theodore to take a few steps back as well. George takes one look at Y/N’s tear stained face and lets the anger in his chest consume him completely. “Leave her the fuck alone,” he spits, turning to face Adrian.
“Shove off, Weasley. Can’t you see we’re in the middle of something,” Adrian seethes, squaring up against George.
“Not anymore you prick.” George can hear Y/N crying, and he moves slightly to shield her behind his back. “Now get lost before I make you.” Adrian takes a step forward and George raises his wand, pressing the tip of it to Adrian’s throat. “Unless you want to end up in the Hospital Wing for the next three weeks I suggest you move along.” George’s jaw is clenched, and his voice is deep and dark. George doesn’t move until they disappear down the hall. Only then does he drop his wand and turn around to hug Y/N.
Y/N presses her face into George’s chest and lets out a few more tears. “Thank you, George,” she mumbles.
“Of course, love. I will always be there for you, you know that.” George squeezes her tighter and resists his urge to kiss the top of her head. Instead he rests his chin there, and his eyes flutter closed as he soaks in her warmth. “How long have they been bothering you?” George asks quietly when he starts to feel like himself again.
“Since last Saturday, after Adrian stood me up.” Y/N pulls away from George’s chest so she can look up at him. “How come you’ve been ignoring me, Georgie? I’ve missed you so much.”
George’s heart breaks, and he brings a hand up to wipe away the last few tears from her cheeks. “I’ve missed you too, Y/N. I was being an idiot, like usual.” He takes a deep breath to prepare himself for what he’s about to say. “I’ve liked you Y/N, for as long as I’ve known you. And after Adrian asked you out I got so unbelievably jealous that I couldn’t be around you, I couldn’t hear you talk about your date with him and how excited you were because just the thought of him being alone with you made me want to throw up.”
Y/N bites her lip as she considers what to say next. “You’d do anything for me George, right?”
“Of course, Y/N. Anything,” George confirms, cupping her cheek gently.
“Kiss me,” she breathes.
George hesitates for a second before he leans down and presses their mouths together softly. Their lips move together slowly, and George can feel his head spinning. His knees shake when they pull apart, and when George looks into Y/N’s eyes they shine brighter than the sun.
-
“Nice sweater,” George compliments as Y/N joins him in that Great Hall that Sunday. She giggles and does a little twirl for him and George feels like he’s soaring through the air.
“Thank you, my boyfriend gave me the yarn I used to make it.” Y/N leans over the table to press a kiss to George’s cheek before taking the seat across from him. She digs around in her bag for a moment before pulling out a pair of socks, knit from the same lilac material as her sweater.
“For me?” George asks, giving her a bright smile. He takes them from her excitedly and kicks off his shoes so he can pull them on.
Y/N laughs as George bring one of his feet up to show off the lilac sock, letting the glitter in the yarn shine. “Of course. What’s a sweater without a pair of matching socks?”
George leans over and kisses Y/N gently. “I’m always down to be your matching pair of socks.”

I love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch everything wrong. -Lemony Snicket
Tumblr media
The first time you met him was quite by chance. You’d broken away from your maids,  eyes glowing in the darkness as you strolled through the woods, humming an odd tune to yourself. It was a full moon night, so you’d headed out under disguise for a night time frolic in the nearby woods. You’d forgone the heavy skirts and tiaras of your royal wardrobe for the looser bodice and thinner skirts of a homespun dress your maid lent you, tendrils of breeze and grass grazing your ankles as you moved. 
All too suddenly, you stumbled  into a clearing by a lake- it was small but beautiful, almost ethereal with it’s still waters and edges disappearing into the shade of the trees. But what caught your eye was a slash of  of white against the darkness of the far shore- upon squinting, you realized it wasn’t a bird, but a boy. Evidently, he’d noticed you too, because he straightened up from his kneeling position, head cocking to the side as his eyes scanned yours.
You smiled at him uncertainly, unsure of whether you were invading a moment of privacy or worse, a moment of dark magic. Your own magic roiled inside you, careful of the possible threat this boy could pose to you. However, he only smiled back, and stepped onto the water- walking over the surface, almost gliding across the lake to your side of the shore. He didn’t leave a single ripple in his wake, almost like he was just an apparition floating right above the water. You watched in silence as he he stepped out of the lake, coming to a stop in front of you.
He was slight in build, almost birdlike- but his shoulders seemed strong under his white and gold outfit. His bright golden eyes curved softly above his cheekbones, burnished bronze hair falling elegantly over the planes of his forehead.
“Hello, mortal.” His voice was deep, instantly sending shivers of wonder down your spine. “Or should I say royal?” He smiled, rosebud lips parting slightly as he nodded at the signet ring on your finger, the only sign of your heritage. He had a sharp eye for detail, this strange boy who could walk on water. Perhaps he was Fae?
“You know of my heritage, but I know not of yours,” you hedged, not wanting to give him your name; names held power, after all. The boy grinned wider, poking his tongue into his cheek as he eyed you amusedly. “You may call me Felix, darling.”
He wasn’t Fae, after all. He was from a far off land, he said, beyond the bounds your kingdom knew of.  He was to stay in these very woods as an apprentice with a family of magic wielders and alchemists. He was an easy talker and an even easier listener; he enjoyed your accounts of the royal court and the parlour you presided over and your evenings of sneaking past the guards into the night markets.
It was a peaceful time with him, walking amongst the woods- you forgot that you were supposed to be with your maids, basking in the new companionship you’d found. You enjoyed Felix’s company, you realized as the night wound down, making way for a new dawn as Felix led you to the edge of the woods.
“You must come see me in the castle gardens,” You smiled, clasping his hands in yours. Felix eyed your intertwined hands before looking back up at your face. Your eyes were bright, your skin glowing against the soft morning sun. “It is a glorious place, you will love the magical herb-house, and oh, the fountain too-”
“I would be honoured, princess.” He bowed his head slightly, suddenly shy. “But I am a being of the night. Visiting after twilight isn’t the most becoming of a lady of your stature, I’m certain.”
Your brows furrowed; he was right, but you did not want to entertain the possibility of never meeting your new friend again. Stars knew when you’d get to sneak this far out of the castle again. “It matters not, dear friend.” you declared. “I shall slip past the guards into the garden, if it allows me to see you again. That is,” you fumbled, a wave of awkwardness invading your mind as you dropped his hands and stepped backwards.  “That is, if you would wish to meet me again, I do not mean to impose-”
“As I said, princess,” Felix smiles-no, smirks, backing up into the trees, almost melting into the shadows. “I would be honoured. Until next moon, then.”
//
True to his word, you saw him standing next to the fountain from your room balcony the next full moon. Slipping past your guards and into the garden, you found Felix gazing around in wonder, eyes bright as he took in the sight.
The wide fountain was set in the center of a large square hedge of rose bushes. At the center of the fountain was the sculpture of a long-haired mermaid with a trident in her twisted hands, face serene as water gushed around her stone-scaled tail. At night, the water shimmered in the moonlight and the soft glow of the moonflies that flitted around the area, making the scene all the more exquisite.
You loved the privacy and peace the fountain provided you, with the tall rose hedges and the flow of water. The moment you stepped into the hedge, Felix’s eyes shot towards you, widening in wonder. You were dressed in lilac gossamer, a silver cape akin to butterfly wings draped over your shoulders and a matching silver wreath woven into your hair... You looked less like the girl-next-door he met and more like the heiress of the kingdom he lived in. He averted his eyes, rubbing the back of his neck. “You… You look breathtaking, Your Highness,” he murmured, bowing low.
You giggled as you walked towards him, your skirts dragging on the grass. “Felix, please. I’m no more than the girl you met at the lake during the last moon. I plead you to not see me otherwise when I am dressed in the garb of a royal.” He straightened up and smiled at you, his demeanor relaxing almost instantly after hearing your familiar voice. He looked almost angelic in the light of the moonflies, bouncing off the glitter on his eyelashes.
“As you wish, princess.” He turned back towards the fountain, letting his fingers trail in the shallow water of the pool as he sat on the edge. “You were correct, this garden is a work of art.”
“It is, isn’t it?” You responded, sitting next to Felix on the edge of the pool, uncaring of your pretty garments. “The gardens take up a good half of the castle grounds. I love spending my nights there. The herbhouse, in particular. We grow a lot of the kingdom’s alchemical herbs ourselves, so I’d suggested we supply them to those who need it for no cost.” Felix glanced at you in surprise, his fingers twirling together two streams of water from the pool. “That’s generous.”
“It’s our duty as royals to make our subjects’ lives as easy as we can,” you shrugged, leaning your head back to watch the stars. “While levying taxes is a necessity, it felt prudent to cut down costs for a normal man and make alchemy available to all. Knowing what herbs are used for what can save lives someday.”
“That’s very noble of you, princess.” He murmured, his lips quirking up as he stared into the night sky. “I’ve seen royals that are drunk off the crown’s power to the point of greed and gluttony. But here you are, giving everything you can for your subjects. It’s admirable, really.”
“As I said, it’s my duty.” You let your attention slip to the pretty shapes Felix was conjuring out of the pool’s water. “Now, tell me, how has your time in the woods been?”
//
As you grew into adulthood, your daily responsibilities became larger, but you welcomed it. You’d trained and studied for years so you could take on the mantle of crown royal for your kingdom, and you were only too willing to make your contribution to council meetings and parlour galas alike. However, your friendship with Felix was like a safe haven from the day’s happenings, a space where you could just be Felix’s companion and not a royal with responsibilities.
The both of you grew more and more comfortable with each other, letting yourself slip into familiarity when you were together. You showed him all your favourite corners of the garden, but your favourite place to spend time together was at the mermaid fountain. You’d always meet there at the last midnight chimes on full moon nights and sit at the stone edge, talking and flicking water at each other.
He would always bring you enchanted wreaths of flower crowns that wouldn’t wilt for weeks- it was for you to remember him by until the next full moon, he claimed. You would wear them everyday until the magic wore off, counting down the days until you got to see Felix again.
The first time you met him was quite by chance. It had been almost a year since you’d begun to meet Felix in your expansive garden. He was waiting for you by the fountain, just as he had a year ago- but something was different. He’d normally be trying to catch the moonflies or playing with the pool’s water, but today he was looking straight at the entrance of the hedge, almost like he was waiting for you.
“Good evening to you too, sunshine.” You smile, walking straight into his arms, as you always did. Hugs were your way of greeting your magical friend from the woods, once you’d caught on that Felix loved physical affection. He’d normally catch you and swing you around, the two of you trying to stifle your laughter as he set you down. This time however, he pulled you closer by the waist, pressing you to his body as he nuzzled his nose into your neck. A shiver of apprehension slithered down your spine. This wasn’t normal.
You pulled back, but his arms tightened around you, restricting your movement- and that was when you noticed it. His normally gold eyes were the darkest shade of obsidian black, his lips pulled back slightly in a smirk. Instead of his usual outfit of golds and whites, he was dressed in stark red and black, making you stumble back at the realization. In your haste to see him again, you hadn’t noticed his clothes, demeanor or eyes, none of which alluded to the boy you were used to meeting.
“You’re not Felix.” You said out loud, hoping against hope that you were wrong. But the boy that stood before you cocked his head, an action that you were so used to seeing from your friend but right now, looked like a foreign action of pure impertinence. “What makes you think so, princess?” His smirk grew wider. You stood your ground, hackles rising at the almost insulting tone he was using. “Was it the clothes? Or maybe the fact that I’m making it obvious how much I enjoy touching you?”
Your teeth gritted as you let out a snarl of your own. “ Watch your mouth, Felix.”
To your surprise, Felix let out a laugh, sticking his tongue in his cheek- another familiar action that seemed disrespectful on this.. This impostor. “Are you scared of me, sweetheart?” He cooed, taking another step towards you. Your magic stuttered to life as adrenaline rushed through your body, an invisible protective forcefield molding itself around your body. “Oh, that’s adorable.” He laughed again, loud and derisive. “That forcefield doesn’t hold a candle to my kind of power, princess.”
“If you’re Felix, prove it.” You demanded, the fear sharpening your senses to cold awareness.  He rolled the cricks out of his neck, training his jarringly black eyes on you again. “We met at a lake a year ago this day. Or rather, you met my twin. He’s the one you’ve been meeting all this while, although I’m loath to admit it. I guarantee you, I’m much looser with my tongue than my damned twin is.”
“If Felix is your twin, what’s your name?” Your voice was cold, devoid of the fear that was rippling through your veins at the moment. “I’m Ellix. Pleased to make your acquaintance, princess,” he spit the endearment out like a curse, dropping into a mocking bow. When he rose, his lips quirked up in the same arrogant smirk, his hands running through his hair. “And who said anything about different bodies?”
//
A quiet knocking awoke you from your slumber the next night, prompting you to sit up and pull the bedcovers over your body. Were you hallucinating? You hadn’t slept at all the previous night, still reeling from the oddity that was Felix. You ordered him to leave the premises immediately after his strange declarations of having a twin… in the same body? He’d held his arms out, pouting for another hug, but you snarled at him until he left. 
Another knock brought you out of your reverie; you were definitely not imagining it. Pulling a robe around your body, you stepped out into the balcony, to be faced with an unfamiliar boy standing next to the railing, his hands twisting together nervously. He had jet-black hair that engulfed his forehead and high cheekbones that made his round eyes look bigger. Your heart dropped slightly; you were hoping it was Felix, here to explain himself. You needed explanations, and your midnight companion was the only one who could give them to you.
“Your Highness, Many apologies for the late hour.” the boy bowed, his voice high for a male, yet smooth- you shook yourself. You were comparing his voice to Felix’s infinitely deeper one. “Who might you be?” You questioned, your voice even.
“I.. well, I’m Han Jisung, your Highness. I’m from the Twilight Woods. You’re Felix’s companion?” The mention of  Felix’s name had you jolting to attention, but you kept your face schooled to polite indifference. “What is it to you?”
“I heard that he.. He wasn’t himself when he came to you the previous night. I felt it prudent to come to you with the information you must be seeking, because Felix won’t tell you himself.”
“On whose authority do you hold this information, Jisung?” you demanded- you were not going to be duped by dark magic. You magic probed him shamelessly for traces of dark magic, turning up with nothing but an airy silence. “On my own, your Highness,” Jisung smiled sadly. “I’m one of the people who know the truth. I’m His Highness Prince Felix’s elder brother, second in line to the Twilight Throne.”
//
“The Twilight Woods outside your kingdom has had its own royalty, ever since it’s inception. We preside over the woods and the surrounding lands and make sure our subjects don’t wreak too much havoc in your lands. Our folk are wilder, they live much longer than your subjects outside the woods and reside further into the woods than any of your folk would dare to wander. The lake you met my brother at is one of the entrances to our kingdom. For the past 200 years, our uncle has ruled the Twilight Woods. His 3 daughters were in line for the throne- but Mina abdicated and Chaeyoung ran away, leaving only… Sana.
“Everybody knew that she was courting the darkness, with her obscene interest in blood magic. When the King our uncle found her in the middle of a pentagram with her hands wreathed in shadows and her lips red as blood, he knew Sana was beyond help. He had her banished immediately, leaving only my little brother and I as choices for ascension to the throne.
“My brother is blessed with an almost endless bank of magic, but he was a creator first, a royal next. His dream was to become an alchemist, providing treatment and protection to the kingdom with his potions. The kingdom loved him, as did our uncle. He saw greatness in my little brother- in his golden heart, infinite power and unflinching moral compass so he chose Felix as his heir apparent.
“The kingdom rejoiced the new era of their to-be king. The coronation was to be the most special day of all our lives. But that Christmas Eve, days before the coronation… Sana broke through the kingdom’s defenses and ravaged her way to the castle. She trapped Felix in a wall of fire in the throne room, rendering any of us unable to help.
“Even his endless power was no match for the abomination she’d become. When she subdued Felix, she.. she placed a curse on him, condemning him to the life of a wordless bird- a swan by day and only reverting to himself by night. She… She gave him no ultimatum. Just that… that she’d give him 50 years to try and find a loophole, just for her sick amusement. If he failed, he would spend the rest of his existence as a swan, completely losing his humanity.
“What we didn’t anticipate was his magic taking a hit from the curse. The internal war his endless magic had with Sana’s curse had created a.. Well, a dark alter ego. We… We called him Ellix. One that was consumed by his base desires and lacked the grace that my brother normally held himself with. Between the curse and the possibility of meeting Ellix at sundown...there was no way he could possibly take the throne. We are not many months short of the 50 year mark, and the stress and fear he’s feeling just means that Ellix is awoken more often than not.
“Yesterday was one such day when Ellix came out to play, and I must apologize on his behalf. You have been a dear friend to Felix ever since you met him. It would shatter him to realize that his own alter ego had damaged a companionship he holds so close to his heart. Ellix is Felix’s darkest, most depraved impulses put into a persona. It is not the Felix you know, the way no mortal is defined by their darkness.
“When he does meet you again, I implore you to not push my little brother away. He is a lost boy, his power and sense of duty beyond that of beings wizened and old. He needs a friend that doesn’t see him for his curse but for the individual that he is. All I ask of you is to be that person for him, for these last few months of his life.”
//
You waited impatiently for the next full moon, barely focusing on your daily royal duties as you counted down the days. As the full moon night got closer, you steeled your nerves, prepared for the possibility of meeting Ellix- a persona that you were woefully unfamiliar with despite the familiar face he carried. This was just another facet of the Felix you knew. How was this any different from the different faces of a mortal’s personality? You would not be bowed by his drastic change in behavior, you decided.
You hurried your steps as you made your way to the mermaid fountain,  the delicate iron chains around your shoulders clicking softly against the midnight blue fabric of your dress. Rounding the edge of the hedge, your eyes instantly caught Felix’s- no, this was Ellix. His eyes were the same obsidian black as before, standing out starkly against his honey skin and the gold circlet that rested on his forehead. You took a deep breath, calming your nerves. His lips dragged up in a smirk akin to the ones he’d flashed at you the previous moon. “If you’re done taking in my appearance, darling, I must say you look absolutely ravishing yourself. ” You rolled your eyes, pursing your lips against the smile that bubbled to your lips unbidden. “If you’re going to behave like a creepy elder with me, Ellix, I guarantee you I will not be hugging you, or walking with you anytime soon.”
A surprised laugh spilled from Felix, his dark eyes lighting up with amusement. This was banter the two of you were used to, indulging in the easy back-and-forth for hours on end. “No hugging or walking for us then, darling.” The endearment spoken in Ellix’s voice struck a chord, sending a familiar shiver of wonder down your spine. “What do you think about talking?”
You grin back at him, taking his hand and leading him to the edge of the fountain. “That is most definitely my cup of tea.”
//
That full moon night cemented your companionship with Felix’s dark alter ego- who wasn’t as dark as he made himself out to be. Ellix was much more easy with his magic than Felix, using his powers to do even the smallest of things. He was also more confident, almost confrontational with his opinions and his sentiments- even if they weren’t in line with yours. You enjoyed the new dimension to your banter, although a small part of you missed the softness that came with Felix himself.
Despite his openness, however, you couldn’t bring yourself to ask about the curse, or the story Jisung had entrusted you with. It seemed too big of a topic to breach- one that Ellix or Felix would have to address by themselves. So you let the conversation flow in the way they wished it to- quick witted banter and almost flirtatious comments.
The next moon had you encountering Felix again, and you were quick to jump into his arms and he swung you around, the two of you laughing brightly as his eyes crinkled, the jewels under his eyes twinkling softly. He left behind a bracelet of rose-petals and a matching rose wreath. The moon after brought back Ellix, this time with his ornery smirk and a kiss on your cheek before he melted into thin air. 
The fluttering in your stomach every time he said something mildly flirtatious, brought out those presents, or let his touch linger for a second too long wasn’t lost to you. You’d felt floaty and obscenely happy with Felix ever since the first time you met him, the quiet nervousness melting into heady peace and teasing banter every time you met after that. When Jisung told you about the curse, the first thing you felt was a wave of concern that you knew instantly was far beyond the bounds of friendship. You wanted to find him and engulf him in your arms, hold him close and tell him he was brave, strong, more special than he allowed himself to believe. You wanted him to stay close by your side, not for one full moon night but for the rest of your lives so you could tell him every day how much he’d come to mean to you, no matter whether it was Ellix or Felix.
It was a soft, simple feeling that had taken root in your heart in the beginning of your companionship with him and had only grown larger since, pushing the limits of your heart in your affection for Felix. It wasn’t just friendship you felt for the lost boy in your garden- it was love. 
//
“You’re lying. Tell me you’re lying.” Your hands pressed against Ellix’s chest, pushing him away from you. Your magic sparked against your fists as you advanced, Ellix’s only reaction an evil grin. “Why would I be lying, darling?” He purred, his own fingers sparking with the beginnings of a flame. You skirted the edge of the mermaid fountain, your eyes trained on him. The anger and betrayal coursing through your system had you seeing red, but you kept your voice even. “How dare you stand before me and tell me that our companionship was a fraud?”
“Oh no no, darling, I didn’t say it was a fraud,” Ellix bit back, looking like a demon set loose from the Netherworld. “I said that this friendship was a game. You let slip so many royal secrets to me, all of which will go towards the siege that the Twilight army is planning upon your kingdom.”
A snarl of outrage ripped from your throat, sparking your eyes as you stepped closer to Felix, eyes ablaze with fury. “You traitor.”
“I’m the Crown prince of Twilight Woods, Princess,” He used the same mocking tone that drove you up the wall. “I’m a royal before your little companion. Did you really think I agreed to your acquaintanceship because I appreciated your COMPANY?” Ellix spit back, his entire body betraying his disgust.
You reeled back at his words, each one of them pricking your heart with a savage sharpness. “You don’t mean that.” you breathed out, but Ellix was on a roll.
“This entire companionship was built for your desires, with none of mine taken into consideration. You’re too absorbed in yourself, with your hair and your clothes and your little kingdom that you forgot that I was a part of this friendship too. You didn’t give a single damn about me, did you?”He shouted, close enough that the two of you were almost nose to nose. You stood your ground, not wanting to seem weak. Not to him. Never to him- “ You just wanted a sweet submissive little boy from the woods to listen to you, and let me make it clear to you, princess. I am NOT IT.”
A beat of silence passed between the both of you- and then you straightened up, looking down your nose at the boy in front of you. “This companionship is terminated as of this second. I owe you nothing, as don’t you. Does that please you?” Tell me it doesn’t please you, don’t do this to my heart, Felix, please-
“Absolutely, princess-” He pressed a kiss against your cheek, a mockery of an action you’d gotten used to from Ellix. But it only served to set you off, a scream ripping from your throat. “No. You don’t get the last word on this sham of a friendship, you dirty liar. I trusted you with my life and my dreams, and this is what I get in return? You should be ashamed of yourself, Ellix.” Your voice cracked from the rage, but Ellix didn’t bat an eyelash.
“Jisung was right. You’re a monster. Begone, Ellix. Take Felix with you and never return. If you do, I will make sure the guards find a dungeon for you with your names on it.”
All you could see was the glint of his black eyes disappearing into the darkness, likely for the last time- and the only emotion you could recognize from the maelstrom in your mind was that of a broken heart.
The walk to your chambers was a demonstration in self control, eyes silvery with tears cast low and your fists clenched to prevent the scream from leaving your throat. It wasn’t until you reached your chambers that you allowed yourself to fall apart, crumbling to the ground behind your door as you hid your face in your hands- and the soft rustle of paper with the movement of your skirts catching your attention. By some sleight of hand, Ellix had slipped a letter into your pocket.  While you had half a mind to feed it to the flames, the sad, sentimental side of you ripped open the thick paper, scanning the elegant scrawl dancing across the paper.
Greetings, princess.
I’m sorry I never told you the full truth.
Sana did leave one loophole. When she cursed me, she left me 50 years to find a mortal that would love and accept me for my cursed self, a mortal that would look me in the eye and admit to it. But when the complications began to happen with Ellix…There was no point hoping. I bided away 48 years, lost in self-pity and the darkness that the curse festered within me. Until I met you.
You were so beautiful in the moonlight, darling. Over time however, I came to know that it was your goodness that gave you that celestial glow- You were noble and selfless, strong yet soft, relentless in your pursuit for all the good you could bring to your loved ones.
I was smitten by you, but I couldn’t stand to taint you with the horrible scars I bring with me, darling. So I kept my secret and met you every full moon, only falling further and further with every meeting. The first time I held you in my arms, it was like a missing key had finally clicked into my locked heart and princess, I didn’t want to let go of you again. You gave me the sweetest memories in the final year of my life,  and for that, princess, I will be eternally grateful.
I am but a smidgen in the glorious story that will be yours one day, even though it pains me that I will never get to be a part of it- so don’t remember me, princess. Don’t worry about me. Don’t try to save me, because I am likely already beyond the point of saving. There’s no way out for me.
The fact shall remain, as it always will in this letter, even after I’ve passed into the darkness- I love you.
I love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence, and as justice loves to sit and watch everything wrong. Justice has done exactly that with me, darling. It has cursed me to live my last moments away from you, lost in my own mind, my magic fighting against the curse to keep the darkness from claiming me. It is my misfortune that I met you so late into my life, but my life’s greatest honour to have known one who shines as brightly as you.
Beyond Forever,
Felix.
You scrambled to your feet and broke into a run, your skirts whipping around your ankles as you let your memory guide you, eyes blurred by the tears that streaked down your face. Ellix was trying to protect you from the pain of losing him, he loved you, he loved you, he loved you- 
Slipping past the guards and into the stables, you were on a horse, riding bareback in the fastest speed you could coax from it, towards the Twilight Woods. You had time, you had to try, you couldn’t just let him die, not  like this-
Before you knew it, you had reached the lake where you’d met Felix for the first time, the memory of his quicksilver smile and his golden eyes- no, one pair of golden eyes and another pair of obsidian orbs flashing across your mind before another fit of tears claimed you. If you remembered right, Jisung had mentioned you’d brushed by an entrance to the Twilight woods somewhere close by this very place-
“FELIX!!” You screamed aloud, dropping to your knees at the shore. “I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, Please come back to me, I can’t bear the thought of losing you Felix, please-” You caught a view of your tear-streaked face in the reflection of the water, rippling softly, uncaring of your screaming.
The first rays of the morning sun began to hit the edges of the lake as you sobbed aloud, the despair setting in and burrowing deep into your chest as the moments ticked by. You scanned the horizon, desperately looking for a sign, any sign of the kingdom Jisung and Felix belonged to- and then you saw it. 
In the far shore, two figures stepped into the soft morning light- both small and slight in build, dressed in whites and golds. One had hair the colour of ebony, the other hair the colour of burnished gold. You straightened up, your eyes widening as you hurriedly brushed the tears off your face.. It couldn’t be..
Both of them stepped onto the water, walking- no, running across the surface of the lake without leaving a ripple in their wake. You got to your feet, backing away from the shore as Jisung and Felix stepped off the water, their smiles brighter than the sun itself. Felix stepped towards you, his arms held out wide and you let out a quiet sob, running right into his warm embrace.
“I love you, I love you so much, thank the stars-”
“You’re here, you’re real, I love you, I adore you, princess-” Your murmurs mingled together, muffled in each other’s bodies as you clung together, scared to move away. You pulled away, your arms still looked around Felix’s shoulders and his neck, only to be met with the brightest grin you’d ever seen lighting up his face. His eyes- one gold and one black, crinkled with happy tears as his lips stretched into an ethereal smile, his hair a dishevelled mess around his ears.  
Felix was the crown prince to a kingdom bathed in betrayal and grief, while you were the heiress of a kingdom that prospered from the nobility that ruled it. Felix’s cousin was likely on the way, pulling her hair out in the frustration of being ousted. You would likely face the music for screaming at a boy in the gardens and then disappearing for hours on end- but in each other’s arms, the two of you were nothing more than each other’s special little forevers.
In that moment, it was truly all that mattered.

Word Count: 2k
Category: Angst
Warning: Language? idk
Request: pls write an angst based on Heather by Conan gray i love ur writings sm
Summary: In which Harry is the Heather of his own story.
this won’t have a second part, let’s keep it sad 💀
thanks for requesting, anon! hope you like it and thank you sm🤍
// masterlist //
..
You were there for as long as Harry could remember, and that was so many years.
He was convinced that many scriptwriters and directors heard of your friendship’s story and that was how most rom-coms were made.
But the rom-coms had something that Harry was yet to have – the happy ending he kept wishing for.
It wasn’t your fault, really. Sure, you were a little oblivious but it was also a little unfair saying that was the only reason why Harry hadn’t gotten his happy ending because he knew that at the end of the day, it was him not making a move and admitting his feelings for you throughout all these years.
Harry remembered how for his 16th birthday, you had saved up to get him and yourself tickets to see Coldplay live.
He remembered how you cried as you hugged him after his X Factor audition as you all stood backstage.
He remembered how excited he was when he first introduced you to the rest of the boys when they were put in a band. Hell, you slept over with them at Robin’s for a couple of days.
He remembered how you flew out for the weekend when Zayn had left the band, knowing that Harry needed your presence.
He remembered how you were the first person he went to when he decided to make a debut solo record.
He remembered waking up to your singing in Jamaica, munching on honey toast as your face would light up the moment he came to view – “Good morning, H! I squeezed some fresh oranges for you.”
He also remembered how his face would heat up when he was just a kid whenever his family would mention that you and him were bound to end up together.
He remembered how his first heartbreak wasn’t from a relationship of his own, but it was when you got into one at 16. He hated it.
He remembered helping you with your dates, reacting to how you thought a new crush was, holding you as you cried.
Harry remembered how despite being in love with you since he was a teenager, he didn’t take a step towards having you more than a best friend.
And God, his journals were proof of that love; the love songs, all those ones about unrequited love, the short poems he wrote in the dead of the night.
He had cringed when he told you that he was seeing someone, only to have you become excited and genuinely happy for him.
If you could do it, why couldn’t he?
He was staying over at yours, a normal occurrence for when he was home. He could’ve as well just sold his house at that point.
“Have anything I can wear? This isn’t too comfortable.” He had asked you as the both of you lounged, watching a stand-up comedy.
“Yeah, just choose whatever you want.” You nonchalantly said, not caring if he went through your clothes – not like this was anything but normal for the both of you.
“Too lazy to move.” He mumbled, looking up at you from where he was; his head resting on your lap as you played with his hair.
The smile that came to your face was one Harry mirrored without knowing, staring at you as you continued to watch the show. “I’m not moving.” You stated.
He groaned, standing up, “Will you still play with my hair when I come back?”
At that, your eyes moved to him, “Yes, you baby.”
That was all the assurance he needed before he walked to your room and opened your wardrobe, going through your clothes without messing anything up; you liked your clothes neatly folded at all times.
Reaching one lilac sweater, Harry took it out before holding it over his upper body, finding that it would probably perfectly fit.
Taking off his own top and putting on yours, Harry’s breath instantly hitched in his throat, stomach tied up in knots.
It smelled like you.
It smelled like fresh vanilla detergent and the coconut scent he adored so much.
Running his hand slowly across his body, Harry turned to look at the mirror, eyes falling on the item that screamed your name louder than the beaded necklace you had made him months ago that decorated his neck – “Golden, because that’s what I think you are” you had said.
He gulped, fingertips grazing the material.
“Harry! You’re missing all the good bits!”
“Coming!” He shouted back, hoping you didn’t catch the crack in his voice.
After one final look, Harry had walked back to you, placing his head on your lap.
“Good choice.” You had commented softly.
“Yeah?” Harry almost whispered, “Feels comfortable. What material is that?”
“Just polyester,” you shrugged, “Hate how it looks better on you though.” You had joked, giving him a gentle tug to his hair.
Harry had giggled, closing his eyes as you scratched his scalp softly, “Thanks.”
After that day, it was like Harry claimed the sweater. He’d beeline to it the moment he stepped a foot in your house, frowning at you on some days when you told him that it was getting washed.
Days turned to weeks, and before Harry could do as much as blink, you were back from your work with a smile brighter than usual.
He was sitting on your couch that day, in the lilac sweater, a smile drawn to his face as soon as his saw yours, pausing the music that was playing from his laptop. “You look happy.”
And you were, because you had given his cheek a soundly smooch of greeting, unaware of Harry’s cheeks reddening.
You hummed with a nod, “I have a date tonight with, quite possibly, the cutest person I have ever met.”
He wasn’t expecting that.
Harry was not expecting that.
His smile faltered, only staring at you.
“They’re just,” you sighed, staring at the ceiling with a hand to your heart, “A dream, you know? Hey, wait! You know them!”
“I do?”
“Yeah,” you nodded eagerly, “Chelsea introduced them when we went to that pub 2 weeks ago, remember? Charlie?”
“Oh.”
And he did. He remembered how pretty Charlie was, how they seemed to keep conversations going and made sure everyone was listened to, how Charlie’s style stood out in the pub, how their jokes made everyone laugh – including him. He remembered how Charlie’s eyes lingered on you when you talked, how the both of you seemed dived into a conversation of common interests. He hated it.
Charlie really was a dream. Yeah, he hated that, too.
Harry had helped you decide on an outfit, his chest feeling as if it clenched around his heart to a point where his cage would combust.
He helped you with your hair, spraying the back of it for you because you had always complained about not reaching that part well.
Fuck, he even painted your nails that night – they were in lilac.
And he was there when Charlie picked you up, a genuine smile on their face that looked nothing like the petty one he wore.
“Do you need us to bring you anything, mate? We’re having Italian.” Charlie had offered.
Why did Charlie have to be kind and polite? What happened to the assholes they portrayed in rom-coms?
“No, thanks, Y/N made me lasagna earlier.” Harry had chuckled, watching you smile at the interaction.
“Go to sleep by 9, Mr.” You had joked as you left, Charlie’s hand on your back.
“You know it.” Harry had mumbled with a weak smile, giving you a nod.
By 7, Harry was almost sure he yanked all his hair out, despite the mirrors assuring him that he didn’t.
By 8, he tried to eat, but the nauseous feeling that ran through his body at the thought of you with someone else made him put the casserole back in the fridge.
By 9, Harry had called Mitch to break the news of your newest date, only to hang up so soon when Mitch was beginning to tell him how he still might have a chance.
By 10, he wrote a song. One full song.
By 11, he had the tune for it.
By 12, Harry watched you kiss someone who wasn’t him and he had no one to blame.
“How was it?” He managed to utter, watching you stand against the door with the widest smile.
“Perfect.”
That was the beginning of everything but what Harry wished upon a constellation for, because by the second month of you seeing Charlie, you had made it official.
Charlie was perfect in all aspects; hell, even Gemma liked them when she met them as the 4 of you had brunch one day.
But then Charlie was around your house more that Harry just wasn’t that comfortable to sleep over anymore.
He remembered how the three of you were watching a movie one night, Charlie having been wanting to get to know Harry more since he was “someone Y/N talks about and loves so much” – Charlie said that with no drop of pettiness, Harry wondered how they did it – when Harry just couldn’t take any more of you cuddling someone who wasn’t him and before you and Charlie could process it, Harry was out with an empty excuse – “I forgot my guitar at Mitch’s.”
His guitar was resting against the very couch he was sitting on.
But nothing prepared him for that one moment.
Charlie had invited him for the barbecue party they were hosting and if it weren’t for your puppy eyes, Harry would’ve been sulking in the comfort of his house and not in his car while he was on the way to oh-so-perfect Charlie’s.
He heard Lizzo playing the moment he got out of his car, and it was how he knew that it was your playlist playing.
He had brought cake with him, walking cautiously with the boxed dessert in his hands.
The door was opened, a few smiling people passing by him before he was met with yours, only as always, your face lit up once you saw him.
“You’re here!” You didn’t care that he was holding anything in his hands that restrained him from hugging you back because you threw your arms around him, leaving a kiss to his cheek, “Everyone’s been asking for you. Something about how it was weird seeing me without you.” You giggled.
“Partners in crime, eh?” He smiled at you, referring to the phrase you have been using with one another since school.
“You bet,” you wiggled your eyebrows, “Oh, shoot, sorry, didn’t notice you had this. Um, come, let’s put it in the kitchen.”
You were comfortable in Charlie’s house, Harry noticed. It was no surprise; he would’ve been more worried if you weren’t seen as you had been together for 6 months.
Placing the cake in the fridge, you and Harry then walked to where everyone was.
And that was when he saw it.
Charlie lied on a lounge chair, laughing and looking all attractive, in the very lilac, polyester sweater Harry had found comfort in.
He watched as you walked over, Charlie instantly putting a hand to your waist as they smiled up at you before you leaned down, pressing your lips against one another.
“Act natural, would you?” He heard Chelsea’s, a mutual friend, voice beside him.
“What?”
“If you can’t be happy for Y/N, try to act natural around them,” Chelsea sighed, her heart breaking for her friend as she looked at Harry who was yet to move his eyes from the couple, “Charlie’s great, you know?”
“Yeah,” he gave her a dry chuckle, “Yeah, I know.”
“Then why aren’t you happy that at least they’re not an asshole?”
“Just,” Harry looked at his friend, a defeated look on his face before the sound of you squealing gleefully grabbed his attention, watching as Charlie had their arms wrapped around you from behind, the both of you laughing as your friends all smiled in awe, “Just wish I were Charlie.”

oikawa was the ring bearer at a wedding when he was younger, but he really wanted to do the flower girl’s job and he’s been upset that he wasn’t able to for years. it weighs in him anytime he hears about a wedding happening. any time he is invited to a wedding, he’s low key always ready to take over the flower girl role if anything went awry. doesn’t matter how old he gets, the desire is still there. when the day does come that the wedding needs a replacement, he jumps on that opportunity so quick that it’s a little embarrassing, but he doesn’t care. he’s gonna be the best flower girl anyone has ever seen no matter what they say.
— from elle ! wait this is actually so cute, made me chuckle a little bec aaaah he would do this, wouldn’t he? awe i imagine baby oikawa looking at all the flower girls wondering why he had to hold the rings when he could be throwing rose petals around the aisle >_< your honor, i love him aaaa. thank you sm for this anon, my quick little scenario feat. yn will be under the cut :) hope you are having a wonderful day ! <3
᠃ ⚘᠂ ⚘ ˚ ⚘ ᠂ ⚘ ᠃
“tooru.” you warned, eyes narrowing to your boyfriend who paid absolutely no attention to you. his eyes had lit up, clapping his hands together in pure hopefulness and excitement. 
one of the flower girls had come down with a fever and wasn’t able to attend. unfortunately, oikawa had overheard the wedding planner in full panic mode, desperately looking for a replacement. his head whipped around toward her so quick that you were afraid that he’d somehow get whiplash, making a beeline straight towards the planner — with you quickly following behind.
“oh hush, yn.” he grinned, turning to face you, “don’t you think that i can do it?”
you raised a brow at him, crossing your arms in front of your chest, “it’s not that i don’t think that you can do it, i'm just wondering if you should.”
the wedding was to start in five minutes, the bride very much on her way to the venue and everything was still in utter chaos. at this point the planner was willing to take anyone, as no other kid was available to fill in the spot.
“this is my calling, yn!” he exclaimed, gently poking the wedding planner’s shoulder to get their attention — and to hopefully back him up. “isn’t that right?”
the wedding planner sighed, shaking her head slightly as she glanced down at her wristwatch, “i'm afraid that we really don’t have any other choice.”
you frowned, and as weird as it is to see your boyfriend walking down the aisle with a basket of white rose petals, you weren’t about to let your discomfort ruin the big day. you sighed, nodding to give your blessing. not that oikawa would take no for an answer. he kisses your cheek and made his way to line up with the rest of the wedding party.
a sigh escapes you as soon as you sat back down, rubbing your temples to prepare yourself for what you were about to witness. soon enough you begin to hear the gentle notes of a piano, the doors opening to reveal the wedding party.
quiet gasps escaped most everyone’s lips the second they saw twenty-seven year old, professional volleyball player, oikawa tooru walking down the aisle with a basket of roses in his hand. and he’s walking down with such grace and confidence that you couldn’t help but admire him; if someone could perfectly throw petals around, he’d done it. there’s a little smile on his face, a certain glow in his eyes, keeping his pace just right. you’d half expected him to make a whole show out of it, do a little twirl, wave to the crowd. but no, he walked down the aisle, threw the petals around, just like he was supposed to do.
and your boyfriend just looked adorable, the embodiment of pure glee that you just couldn’t help but take your phone out and snap a quick picture — maybe two, perhaps ten. when oikawa finally reaches where you sat, he gives you a wink, breaking out of character for just a few seconds. even you couldn’t deny the butterflies that swarmed the pits of your stomach.
oikawa returns next you as soon as his job was done, and you could just tell that happiness radiated off him as he pulled you in a one-armed hug.
“good job, tooru.” you complimented, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
oikawa reached into the pocket of his trousers to present you with a single rose petal. you aren’t sure what exactly you’re meant to do with it, but you accept it anyways. he takes your hand in his, intertwining your fingers together.
“thanks, babe.” oikawa smiled, leaning over to whisper in your ear, “don’t worry, i won’t be stealing the flower girl’s job on our wedding day.”

Hello there you beautfiul blog user and writer! If you are open to accept prompts or to get ideas to future fics may I suggest a fic of lil Christopher Lightwood and when their parents found out he needed some glasses? I love how well you write him
Hello beautiful Anon!! Thank you so much for the request! It's called August for literally no reason whatsoever, btw. Anyway here’s little Kit getting his first pair of distance glasses (as a user of said glasses, I’m drawing from personal experiences).
August
Characters: Christopher Lightwood, Gabriel Lightwood & Cecily Lightwood/Herondale
...
“Good, Kit,” Gabriel said from where he was kneeling beside the small boy. 
His son smiled up at him with wide, blue eyes—that looked lilac purple in the sunlight—and put down his bow. “Did I get it in the centre?”
“Almo—” Gabriel furrowed his eyebrows, “What do you mean? Can’t you see the target?” 
Kit squinted his eyes. “A tiny bit. But I can’t see the arrow.”
Gabriel’s confusion grew. “Son,” he said, standing and walking a couple of metres away from where he was standing. “How many fingers am I holding up?” 
“Three.”
Gabriel was indeed holding up three fingers. “Hm.” He said. “I guess you couldn’t possibly need new glasses.” 
Christopher shrugged. 
“Perhaps your current glasses are interfering. Here, take them off.”
Kit obliged. He looked at the arrow and fumbled with the string, trying to see where the arrow’s tail was. 
“Papa, I’m getting dizzy.” He said.
“Oh, then never mind, put them back on.” Gabriel said, quickly, not wanting Christopher to get a headache. 
Once Kit adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, both of them stood there, thinking about what they should do.
“Can we just continue training?” Kit asked.
“Yes,” Gabriel said, a relieved smile on his face.
“Are you teaching our five-year-old son how to shoot a bow and arrow?” Cecily asked from the doorway, a while later.
Gabriel glanced at her momentarily and nodded. 
Cecily leaned her hip against the doorframe and crossed her arms. “Is he good?”
“His form is exceptional, but he can’t seem to shoot it to the center.”
“Well,” Cecily said, walking inside and kneeling down beside her son. He did, in fact, have perfect form, something he somehow must have inherited from his father. “He doesn’t have to excel at it.” 
“Of course not.” Gabriel said. “I’m just confused.”
Kit shot the arrow and skipped over to the target. “It’s closer!” He said turning to his parents excitedly.
“Wonderfully done, Kit bach,” Cecily said, smiling widely. 
Gabriel sighed at how naturally Cecily could speak to their children and encourage them. Whenever he tried it, he felt awkward. Will sometimes teased him at times over how he couldn’t train children. Cecily told him to just treat them as though he were training adolescents or adults, that his children won’t think anything of him being less enthusiastic.
“Why is he walking up to the target?” Cecily asked, interrupting his thoughts.
“He says he can’t see it well.”
Cecily craned her head to look at him. “He probably needs glasses.”
“He already has glasses.” Gabriel pointed out.
“Other types of glasses, you nitwit. Ones for long distances. Didn’t that cross your mind?”
“It did! I even checked to see if he needed them.”
“How?”
“I held up some fingers and he could see them just fine.” Gabriel said, defensively.
Cecily gave him the you’re-a-fool face. “Of course he can bloody see your fingers! That’s not a proper test as to whether he can see or not!” she said, exasperated. 
“Then how do we test it?” Gabriel asked.
Cecily set Kit’s bow and took hold of his hand, pulling him along. “We leave it to the experts.”
He has Myopia as well as Hyperopia. I’d even say he is more nearsighted than farsighted.  
“What does that mean?” Gabriel whispered to Cecily.
“I don’t know,” Cecily mouthed.
Brother Jeremiah looked into Christopher’s eyes, and Gabriel had the urge to go to his son and spare him the sight. Christopher shifted from where he was sitting, trying to look at his parents. Jeremiah put a hand on his chin to keep his gaze on him, so that he could see his eyes better. Cecily took Gabriel’s hand as if to say, calm down; he’ll be alright.
Gabriel squeezed it back and watched as Jeremiah closed the lids of Kit’s eyes and hovered his fingers over them. 
He must have told Kit to open his eyes, because suddenly they flew open.
Gabriel didn’t understand the procedure The Brothers used for checking eyesight. All he knew was that after a while, Brother Jeremiah took Kit’s glasses and turned to Gabriel and Cecily, waiting for one of them to follow him.
Cecily used Gabriel’s knee to get up and went with Brother Jeremiah to get the glasses fixed while Gabriel stayed with Christopher. 
Gabriel walked over to his son and sat down next to him.
“Well, son, I’ll admit that I have no idea what’s wrong with your glasses.” He said with a half smile.
“I can’t see far away.” Kit said. “Myopia means my eyes are curved differently, so they can’t focus the light normally. So, I can’t see from far away as well as up close.”  
Gabriel turned to him, surprised. “How did you know that?”
“Uncle Henry explained it to me.” He said, shrugging. “I wanted to know why I needed glasses in the first place.”
Gabriel ruffled his hair. “You always know the right questions to ask, don’t you, ducks?”
He didn’t know how he ended up with a son like Christopher, who had such a sharp mind at so young. The reason as to why some people needed glasses had never crossed his mind, but Kit’s mind seemed to always be working, questioning why things and people were the way they were. Some people thought that Christopher was absent-minded, but Gabriel knew that it was because his brain was constantly working, not engaging in the current conversation, because it paled in comparison to what he was thinking about, or because there were too many things going on at once. 
He looked at his son, who was looking up at him with wide eyes and his head tilted to the side. He looked like his beautiful mother in that small gesture. 
“Can you even see me?” Gabriel asked, with a smile.
“Not really. You’re a little blurry.”
“Blurry.”
“A Papa-looking blur.”
Gabriel laughed out loud as Cecily came inside.
“We’re in luck,” She announced. “The Brother’s have temporary glasses with Christopher’s exact prescription that he can use while his are being fixed.” She came over with said glasses and carefully put them on Kit.
They immediately slipped down his nose. 
“I think they’re a bit too big.” Gabriel said.
“Well, it’s that or he doesn’t see.” Cecily said, laughing.
“Do you like Kit’s temporary glasses, Cecy?” Gabriel asked, knowing perfectly well that she adored them.
“He is the most adorable little thing that’s walked the planet.” Cecily said, glancing at Christopher, who was lagging a bit behind them, staring at the witchlight stones as they passed by them, walking out of the Basilias. 
“Enjoy it while you can,” Gabriel said, opening the doors for the others to go out, “next week he gets his actual glasses back.”
“Don’t remind me,” Cecily said mournfully.
Gabriel held out his hand for Christopher to take, and was surprised when he didn’t take it.
Gabriel looked down and realized that he wasn’t even there. “Kit?” he asked. 
Cecily and Gabriel both stopped and turned around. Christopher stood frozen a couple of steps behind them, his jaw hanging open as he stared up at the trees. 
“What’s the matter, Kit?” Cecily asked.
“I can see each individual leaf.” He mumbled. “If I wanted to, I could count them all!” He looked up at his mother with a huge grin on his face. 
Cecily had always had a soft spot for her son, but with the oversized frames on his small head, the bridge slipping down his nose occasionally, Cecily felt her heart melting. 
“You could,” she said, holding out a hand for him to take. “But then you’d miss all of the other beautiful things you can now see.”
Christopher took her hand, casting a long look at the tree before following her. 
There was a slight skip to his step as he looked around, taking in the world, his gaze always returning to the trees, which seemed to be the most fascinating revelation. 
“Are you going to go back home and practice archery with your father?” Cecily asked.
Kit nodded happily. 
Cecily didn’t think Gabriel really understood that Kit only really liked archery because it was time he could spend with his father. He was always nervous in anything that had to do with fatherhood, terrified that he’d end up like Benedict. 
Cecily had told him time and time again that his children will love him unconditionally, unless he gave them reason not to, but she also knew that it was hard for Gabriel. His relationship with his father was a mixture of love and abuse, the line between the two becoming so unnoticeable, that Gabriel had a hard time telling the difference. 
Cecily had faith in him, however. Especially as she looked at Gabriel and Kit in front of her, the latter sitting on the former’s shoulders, taking his glasses on and off, comparing the way he could see without glasses and the way he could see with them on. 
Christopher turned around. “Mama, I can see the entire world!” He held his arms out wide, a wide grin on his face, as though he were presenting its beauty.
Cecily laughed and put a hand on his back, “Yes, bach, the world is a beautiful place, isn’t it?” She looked at Gabriel. He took her hand, kissing the back of it and let their interlaced hands swing between them as they walked back home.

hii so i have a very random question that i just thought of (sorry if this has been asked before) so what do you think would happen if jamie had gone to bly after dani died and they saw each other? im in pain haha🥲
I see you chose pain today, anon. I hope this answers your question, at least to some extent. 
~~~
It’s raining lightly when worn black trainers step from a cab onto a gravel drive, the rainwater blending seamlessly with streaky tears until Jamie cannot tell the difference. Her awareness stretches so far as noticing her cheeks are damp, as they have been since she woke up. She has given up mopping her face with her sleeve, having resigned herself hours ago to clumped eyelashes and reddened skin.
The once-familiar grounds sprawl out before her, in decent condition, though not up to her standards. A pit forms in the base of her stomach as the driver pulls away, and she turns toward the old family chapel that somehow still stands among the weeds. Her feet move of their own accord, dragging her body along at a brisk pace toward the source of a decade of misery.
Mist coils off the surface of the lake like a putrid bog, and Jamie fights back a shuddering gasp when her legs bring her to a stop at the water’s edge, toes slipping in the mud.
A part of her still hopes this is all a terrible, terrible dream. That she will wake with a start with her nose pressed to Dani’s warm back. That Dani will sigh that soft sleepy sigh and the sound will be slightly muffled by the pillow she’s half absorbed in the night.
But Jamie knows better than to hope. Knows better than to lift herself up to make the letdown that much worse. Knows better than to wish when the tightness in her chest is so heavy that her ribs might crack with the weight of it. She knows better. And she knows Dani is waiting for her.
The water is strangely warm around her ankles as she wades deeper, the soles of her shoes sliding in the muck. Her clothes grow heavy as the lake clings to her, pulls her into its depths. Her diaphragm expands as she takes a heaving breath, steeling herself to dive in, when--
“What are you doing here?”
Jamie’s eyes bolt up, head whirling, frantically trying to find the source of the voice she knows so very well.
There. Across the lake, among the reeds.
A familiar flash of lilac and blonde among dull yellows and greens and suddenly Jamie can’t seem to inhale. Her breath is caught in her throat as she chokes out a sob.
“Why--?” Jamie manages. Clammy fists clench and unclench at her sides, but she isn’t angry. Confused, frightened, elated, perhaps, but not angry.
“Don’t look.” Dani is just loud enough to be heard across the rippling surface.
“Dani, please--”
“Don’t.” Even from a few dozen yards away, Jamie observes the gentle sadness of Dani’s beautiful, perfect face. “I’m… I’m sorry. About the note. But I just… I love you, you know? And  we don’t have much time, but I need you to know I would never, ever leave you if I had the choice.”
“But you did leave.” Jamie’s voice sounds foreign to her own ears, lackluster and agonized.
“I know,” Dani says sadly, “I know, and I know you’ll never forgive me, but you have to know it wasn’t me. I wouldn’t. I would never.” Her voice breaks on the last syllable. “I loved you so much. So much.”
Dani is shaking her head and saying things like loved and Jamie is crying and she isn’t entirely certain when she started or if she ever stopped.
And then she’s swimming, paddling as fast as her arms will take her. To Dani. Just get to Dani.
But Dani is gone.
Dani is gone, and Jamie hauls herself out of the water to sit among the reeds, allowing herself, at last, to fall apart on the shore of the lake at Bly Manor.
