I Think I love You

Oneshot Masterlist - Main Masterlist

POV: Second Person

Ship: Loki x Y/n

Type: Fluff

TW: None

Wordcount: ~1,200

Synopsis: You like Loki, your best friend, and have been avoiding him because you are scared of what will happen if you tell him. 

"Stop thinking about him! It's all you ever do." Your friend snaps her fingers to get you out of your daydream. 

You look at her with fake offense. "What? No I most certainly do not! Whose him anyway?" You ask, knowing exactly who she is talking about. 

She gives you her 'stop playing dumb' look. "Don't fuck with me Y/n. You know exactly who I'm talking about. Loki." She says, rolling her eyes.

Your cheeks glow a bright shade of red. "What! That's not true. I mean sure I think about Loki a lot but that's just because we are really good friends!" You try to defend yourself, but your friend is not having it. 

"Just tell him you like him already! It's so obvious he likes you too!" She says, animating her speech with her hands like you notice she always does when she's trying to make a point. 

You turn around to walk backwards so you can face her. "Absolutely not. We are just friends." you say, right before you bump into something and start to fall. 

Just as you were about to hit the ground, a strong pair of arms wrap around your waist and pull you up, bringing you face-to-face with... Loki! Your face goes back to being a blushing mess.

You've found it hard to be around Loki lately. You guys have been friends for as long as you can remember, but lately you've began to develop other... feelings for him. Before you knew it, you found yourself deeply in love with the dark prince. 

Every time you tried to talk to him, it came out in a jumbled mess. You also became extra clumsy, even though you were already pretty cloddish in the first place. 

You doubt that he would ever feel the same towards you, so you've been avoiding him in an attempt to not become the clown of the town. 

"Loki!" You squeak, and he smiles at you. "Y/n." He replies, and you attempt to turn back to your friend, but you find that his hands are still on your hips.

 This causes your face to become even redder, if that was possible, and Loki quickly removes his hands from your waist, thinking you had become uncomfortable. 

You turn to your friend, who looks around like she hasn't seen a thing. She pretends to spot Loki and quickly bows. "Well, Y/n, my prince, I forgot I had to meet my cousin for tea. Please excuse me." She says with curtsy, and scatters off. So much for her to get you out of this. 

"I should probably get going..." You start to walk off, when you Loki protests. "Y/n wait!" He grabs your hand and spins you back around to face him. 

You attempt to stop the blush forming on your cheeks, and manage to keep it to a lighter shade of pink. "Yes my prince?" You squeak, looking at the floor. 

"Have I done something wrong?" He asks, and you look up at him, confused. "What? No, of course not! What would make you think that?" You inquire, and now he is the one to look at you confused.

"You've obviously been avoiding me." You scrunch your eyebrows. "What? No I haven't!" You protest, but he gives you a 'I'm-not-stupid' look. 

"Ok look I've just been really busy and-" You start before getting interrupted. "You used to find time no matter what. What's been up with you lately Y/n? If I've done something wrong, please tell me what I can do to fix it." 

You sigh and look back at the ground. "Look... It's true, I've been avoiding you, I'm sorry. I swear you haven't done anything to upset me." You manage to get out, and Loki looks at you, hurt.

It breaks your heart to see that you hurt him. But you just can't tell him the whole truth. 

"Why?" Loki says softly, and tears brim both of your eyes. "I can't tell you Loki..." You say, but it doesn't get him to go away.

"We used to tell each other everything Y/n. We've been friends forever. I promise you can tell me anything. It won't change our relationship." He pleads, but you shake your head. If only he knew...

"Loki, you don't understand. It would ruin our friendship." You try to explain, but he shakes his head. "I promise you Y/n, it won't. I know what you're thinking, it's the same thing that I thought when I told you I was a frost giant. But, you didn't care, did you?" 

You chuckle, remembering the night he told you. He was a jumbled mess, completely scared that you would hate him for it. Of course, you could care less. Honestly, he made the best ice cube for hot, sticky days. 

You contemplate your choices in your head. If you told him, it risked your friendship. If you didn't tell him? Well, it also risked your friendship. 

"I-" You start, trying to sort out your words. Loki nods you on. "Loki... Loki I think I love you." You manage to spit out, surprising yourself that you could speak at all. 

Alarm bells sounded in your head. You start to panic, all the worst scenarios whizzing through your mind faster than your racehorse. What if he doesn't feel the same? What if he hates you for it? What if he tells the Allfather and you get thrown out of-

Your thoughts are interrupted by his lips meeting yours gently for a soft kiss. You look up at him in surprise, and find him smiling down at you. 

"Y/n L/n, do you know how long I've been waiting those words to leave that gorgeous mouth of yours?" He asks, chuckling. "What- What do you mean?" You ask, not processing all of what's happening.

"I thought I made it obvious, but I've always loved you Y/n. I'll always love you." He says, and you become a blushing mess. 

"So, do you just think you love me, or do you love me?" He asks slyly, and you playfully punch his chest. "Ouch!" He pretends you really hurt him and dramatically puts his hand on his forehead and falls to the ground. 

"Someone help! Lady Y/n is a thief and has injured me!" He fake cries, and you kneel to the ground laughing. "And how am I a thief?" You ask. "You stole something from me!" He exclaims, trying not to laugh. You raise your eyebrow at him. 

"What exactly have I stolen my prince?" You ask, trying not to burst out in laughter again. 

He looks you right in the eye and smiles. "My heart." You laugh and roll your eyes, lying down and letting your head rest against Loki's chest. You look up at the ceiling of the palace, studying the golden patterns. 

Loki's hands start to ruffle your hair, and a smile creeps up onto your face. "I love you Loki." You whisper, but Loki hears it. "I love me too." He replies, and you turn around and playfully slap him. "Ow! Okay Okay I love you!" He chuckles.

You gaze into each others eyes before you bring your head down to his for another kiss.

Imagine Javier when Los Pepes threaten to hurt you if he doesn't work with them

"From our viewpoint. There really isn't much to lose. You're already as corrupt as they come. That's been proven." Judy stated, staring at Javier.

He continued to nurse the whiskey he'd been handed. Wondering how he'd managed to get so deep in with the opposition to Escobar.

"Come on Javi. We've been helping each other out for a while now. Surely we have a level of trust?"

Javier snorted, which coincidentally was the wrong response. On looking up at the Castellano brothers, they were both glaring at him.

"Well. Seems we may have to force some trust." Judy looked over to the brothers who nodded. Disappearing out of the lavish drawing room.

Piquing his interest, he looked up at Judy for the first time since sitting down.

"How much do you value your life. Javier?" She questioned, "well, a better question would be. How much do you value your friends lives?"

The sound of shuffling feet could be heard, and then Javier's stomach dropped. The Castellano brothers walked back in and in between the two of them. Was you. A black cloth bag over your head and hands bound in front of you with tape.

"What the fuck is this?"

"Trust me now?"

"I think you have a twisted view on where trust comes from."

"Javi?" Your voice brought him back, and he made to stand up and move towards you. Both brothers however moved their rifles into view, eyeballing Javier at the same time.

Holding up his hands he backed up. Turning to Judy, who was looking positively amused.

"Y/n, you're alright. I'll get you out of here soon."

You nodded, despite the bag over your head. Javier noticed your favourite pyjama bottoms, ones l that had once been his. It then dawned on him that they must have grabbed you from your apartment. It sent off a flame of anger in his chest. How angry and scared you must have been - and still are.

"Judy. What the fuck are you getting at here? You clearly know what you want so just spit it out."

"We want... an agreement."

"What for?"

"That any, let's say, operations? Don't get investigated, they are for the better of our country. Anyone who stands in the way of Escobar is going to get lead. And we don't need DEA ruining that."

"Haven't you noticed no ones been investigating anything? What the fuck do you think I've been doing all this time?" Javier snapped, dumbfounded that this was happening on an already arranged agreement.

"I can think of a few things"

"Come off it Judy. There has to be more to it than this. You didn't have to kidnap her just to make a point."

"It's made my point though, right?" She deadpanned, glancing over at you.

"Yes, well done, point made, now if you don't mind?" Javier gestured to you.

Judy nodded towards them and the brothers let go of their grip on you. Causing you to stumble forward a few paces. Javier rushed forward to meet you. Pulling the bag off your head. You squinted into the bright light of the room, letting out a sob when you realised you were safe.

"I'm sorry sweetheart. This shouldn't have happened." he grunted, ripping the tape off your wrists.

"Thank you," once free you threw your arms around his neck, he reciprocated the hug just as tight as you did.

"Come on, are we free to go?" Javier pointed his question to Judy.

"Of course." She smiled, if it weren't for the situation and the blackmail he would have mistaken her smile for someone with a conscience.

hiiii:))) i’d like to request: SEASHELL: let's look for beautiful things on the beach! send me a line from a book, song, or movie/tv show and a character

“i’d trade all I’ve got in my name for you instead of this pain” (from give me a minute by (my gf) lizzy mcalpine) x either steve, remus or james you’re free to decide<3<3

thank you so much for blessing my eyeballs with your writing<3

thank you so much! this lyric is quite sad, as the song is about a breakup, but i've tried to make this end happy because i can't leave it at angst lol. so here's resolving a fight with james!

--

You aren't going to cry. You chant this to yourself silently because if you cry then it will all be over and James will hug you and say you can talk about it later but you need to talk about it now.

"I think it's true," you say. You clutch the cuffs of your -- his -- sweatshirt and cross your arms. "I haven't been there for her. And you don't spend time with your friends like you used to."

James takes off his glasses and runs a hand down his face. He's standing on the other side of his kitchen island. "But we do see them. A lot, and you know it. Your friends, too."

The night started out nicely. You'd been out to dinner with some friends of yours you haven't seen in a bit. But once you got there, eager to catch up and show them how happy you are, you realized it was an intervention. They wanted to tell you -- kindly, from a place of love -- that you've disappeared into your relationship and they don't feel like you're accessible to them, no matter how much they like James and how good he is to you.

It took you coming back to his apartment and finding him on the couch for you to sort it out, but you think you agree with them. You really do spend all of your time with James -- which isn't a bad thing, not necessarily. You two are just a bit wrapped up in each other, and it's made you into a girl you swore you'd never be: a bad friend at the expense of your own relationship.

"That's not the point, James," you sigh. This is going to sound cruel no matter how you spin it and he'll be hurt, but it needs to be said. "We spend too much time together. We've created our own world and we need to...go outside sometimes."

As you predicted, he looks as though you've punched him. "Less time?" he croaks. "You want to spend less time together? You can see how that's not what a bloke wants to hear, right?"

"The boys clearly haven't said the same thing to you --"

"No, they bloody well have not!" He shouts. You shrink back a little but he doesn't notice, too caught up in his own hurt for the moment. "Because they know I'm happy when I'm with you. I don't understand why you can't see that I'd give everything else up if it meant I could be with you."

You take a steadying breath. "Don't yell, please," you say, as calmly as you can. He looks sorry immedietly, but you keep going. "And while that's lovely and romantic, it's not realistic, and I don't expect that of you. I want us both to have lives. We need that, outside of this. It only makes this more special."

He sits down heavily at the kitchen counter. "I'm -- fuck." He tips his head back, black curls a riot as always, and exhales sharply. "Could you come here, please?"

You cross the kitchen and stand in front of him. He gently reaches for your hands, uncrossing your arms and twining your fingers together as he looks you in the eye.

"I'm sorry for yelling," he says, softly. "I'm not mad at you. I think I'm mad that...you're right?" He sucks on his teeth. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me and I think that if I stop holding on so tight you'll disappear."

It makes sense. You feel the same, but you know it's not true. "But I won't," you tell him. He nods.

"I know," he agrees. "I know. I do. And I think this is worth discussing more so we can figure out how to deal with it. But you look like you're going to cry and I can't stand that I've done it --"

"I was just a bit overwhelmed --"

"So I'd like to spoon, please," he continues over you. "Is that alright?" You step fully into his space and flop against him, your arms tangled between you.

"That's fine with me," you mumble into his collar. You'll figure this out -- you always do.

join the celebration!

SafeHouse || Two

Previous

I had been at Hogwarts for nearly a week now, and it hadn't been great, no one in slytherin liked me for being a Weasley and no one in Gryffindor liked me for being a Slytherin.

My insufferable twin refused to talk to me, still! and I hadn't made a single friend maybe I could make durmstrang my third school, anything would be better than this.

I was sat at the Slytherin table far away from the sparce amount of students sat around it for breakfast, mentally preparing myself for the first class of the day.

"Keira" I turned around to see my twin brothers stood in front of me.

"Yes?" I asked, looking up at them curiously, wondering what would bring them here

"come on" Fred nodded at the Gryffindor table

"what?"

"you're gonna make up with Ron, we're sick of him sulking all the time" George rolled his eyes

"I have nothing to say to him, I haven't done anything wrong" I folded my arms across my chest.

"Hold on one minute" Fred put a finger up to me as him and George walked back to their table.

I watched as they each grabbed a hold of one of Ron's arms and stood him up then walked back to me, they then pushed him down to sit next to me, grabbing the attention from the other people on my table

"Make up, now." George told us and then they both walked out the Great Hall.

Ron and I sat in an awkward silence, neither of us wanting to talk first

but as always I broke first "Ron look-

"no, Keira I'm sorry, I had no right to shout at you, its not even your fault, I guess I was just annoyed that I missed you so much, you're my twin, and we've been separated, again, I do want to make up, you know how stubborn I am" he told me as he played with his fingers

"Ron, I am sorry, I know how much that would hurt, I've missed you too, please, I don't want this to come between us" I said as I hugged him and he hugged me back "I love you"

"I love you too"

"Weaselbee! are you colourblind?" We broke our embrace and turned to see Malfoy stood glaring at my brother

"piss off Malfoy, I'm talking to my sister" he rolled his eyes and I noticed how he clenched his fists

"you piss off Weasel, this is My table, go back to potty and that filthy little mu-

"Woah, Ron, lets go, we can just go somewhere else okay, get away from here" I gripped Ron's arm just in case he tried to lunge at the blond "come on" I steered him away from the table and Malfoy as they shot death glares at each other "you have to learn to ignore him"

"I can't Keira! hes so frustrating, and such a prick" he huffed

"Look, we have class anyway, see you at Lunch?" I asked him

"Yeah sure thing, bye" he waved me off as he joined Harry and Hermione again, peering over Hermione's timetable and saying something to her with a grin.

After spending lunch at the Gryffindor table and being introduced to the other Gryffindors in my year, Hermione, Ron, Harry and I walked to our first ever Care of Magical Creatures class, taught by Hagrid.

After the argument between Ron and Hermione at lunch, they still refused to talk to each other leaving an awkward silence between the four of us.

As we walked down the slope I saw Malfoy and his mates who I now knew as Crabbe and Goyle, they were chortling at something he had said, but it didn't take a lot to guess what it was, Harry's dementor attack still being the topic of discussion.

Hagrid the very large tall man, was stood impatiently at the door of his hut with Fang.

I couldn't stop myself as I ran at the boarhound, dropping to my knee taking his head in my hands and telling him how cute he was.

Dog's really are my weakness.

"Keira!" Ron called after me "leave the poor thing alone" he told me as I said my goodbyes to the dog and apologised to Hagrid.

"You know he's not as cute as he seems right, especially when hes drooling all over you" he muttered to me

" Shut up, Ronald, have you looked in a mirror lately" I snapped at him

"we are literally twins" he said

"Fraternal, not Identical"

"Got a real treat for yeh today! Great lesson comin' up! Everyone here? Right, follow me!"

We followed Hagrid to an empty paddock

"Everyone gather round the fence here!" the half giant called. "Thats it- make sure yeh can see. Now, firs' thing yeh'll want ter do is open yeh books -"

"how?" Malfoy drawled

"Eh?" Hagrid asked

"How do we open our books?" The blond repeated

I looked down at my copy of The Monster Book Of Monsters that was belted shut the same as Harry's and some others had done

"Hasn' - hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books?" Hagrid had asked, looking crestfallen.

We all shook our heads at him.

"Yeh got ter stroke 'em,"

"what did he-

"just go with it" Harry shook his head

I watched the group as they curiously looked at their books and my eyes wandered to Malfoy as I saw him ponder for a while until he then ran a finger down the spine of the book.

"Oh how silly we've all been!" i raised my eyes from his hands to his face as he sneered at Hagrid "we should have stroked them! Why didn't we guess!"

"I ... I thought they were funny," Hagrid told me and Hermione

"Oh, tremendously funny!" Malfoy laughed "Really witty, giving us books that try and rip our hands off!"

"Shut up, Malfoy," I heard Harry say quietly from beside me.

I was glad Harry had said something, because my words definitely wouldn't be as kind, I felt bad for Hagrid, his first lesson and Malfoy was already ruining it to make him feel bad.

"Righ' then," Hagrid said "so ... so yeh've got yer books an' ... an' ... now yeh need the Magical Creatures. Yeah. So I'll go an' get' em. Hang on ...' We watched as Hagrid strode of into the Forest and out of sight.

"God this place is going to the dogs," Malfoy announced loudly "That oaf teaching classes, my father'll have a fit when i tell him-

"Shut up, Malfoy" Harry repeated significantly louder

"Careful Potter theres a Dementor behind you-"

"Wow Malfoy thats new, no ones heard that before, from you" I rolled my eyes

"Be quiet Weasley, As well as a Blood traitor, your a traitor to your own house it seems, hanging around with the Gryffindors" He spat at me

"Leave her alone Malfoy, piss off to Daddy will you" Ron told him "just ignore him Keira."

"Ooooooh" The high pitch voice of Lavender Brown Squealed, pointing towards the opposite side of the Paddock.

I turned to see dozens of Hippogriffs, by the look on Some of the other students faces, they had no idea what these amazing creatures were.

I had already done a bit of them at beaubaxtons.

They really were beautiful creatures.

"Gee up, there!" he roared, as he urged the Hippogriffs towards the fence where we stood.

"Hippogriffs!" I cheered Excitedly

"Tha's righ Keira!, Beau'iful, aren' they? So," Hagrid started as he rubbed his hands together and beaming around "if yeh wan' ter come a bit nearer ..."

No one seemed willing but I was excited to meet them so I bounced forward, The other three cautiously following  after me.

"Are you sure you're a Slytherin, you definitely are courageous" Hermione chuckled beside me, I rolled my eyes, a smile plastered on my face.

"Now, firs' thing yeh gotta know abou' Hippogriffs is they're proud,' Hagrid told us "Easily offended, Hippogriffs are. Don't never insult one,' cause it might be the last thing yeh do.'

"Hey, reminds me of someone we know" I told my friends as I looked pointedly at Malfoy and his cronies who seemed to be plotting, as usual

"Yeh always wait fer the Hippogriff ter make the firs' move,' Hagrid continued. "It's polite, see? yeh walk towards him, and yeh bow an' yeh wait. If he bows back, yeh're allowed ter touch him. if he doesn' bow, then get away from him sharpish, 'cause those talons hurt.'

"Right - who wants ter go first?"

the class took even more steps back, even Ron grabbing mine and Hermiones arm to distance ourselfs away, than outstretching an arm to push Harry forward, wow Ronald, what a great friend.

"Harry?" Hagrid asked him as he was the closest person, Harry looked behind himself, at us to give us a "what the hell look" than back at Hagrid "yeah, i'll do it"

I heard someone gasp behind me both Lavender and parvati whispering " Oooh, no, Harry, remember your tea leaves!"

"what?" I looked over to Ron and Hermione quizzically, what were they on about 

"Dont worry about it" Ron shook his head and Hermione simply rolled her eyes. So I focused back on Harry who was climbing over the Paddock fence.

"Good man, Harry!" Roared Hagrid. "Right then - let's see how yeh get on with Buckbeak."

We watched as he untied one of the chains, and pulled the grey Hippogriff away from the others and slipped off its leather collar.

I as well as the rest of the class held our breath.

"Easy, now Harry" Hagrid said in a low tone "Yeh've got eye contact, now try not ter blink - Hippogriffs don' trust yeh if yeh blink too much ..."

I caught sight of  Hermione grab hold of Rons hand and the blush creeping up his neck as Buckbeak turned his great, sharp head, and was staring at Harry with one fierce orange eye.

"Thats it, tha's it, Harry ... now, bow..."

Harry did as he was told, I could tell he found it quite nerve racking though.

I was getting scared now as the Hippogriff continued to stare at Harry, not moving in the slightest

"Ah" Hagrid had said, breaking the silence once again. "Right - back away, now, Harry, easy does it-"

But then to all of our surprise, the Hippogriff suddenly bent his scaly front knees, and sank into what was an unmistakable bow.

I let out a quiet cheer of excitement, other students doing the same.

"Well done, Harry! Right - yeh can touch him! Pat his beak, go on!"

Harry moved slowly towards the Hippogriff and reached out towards him. He patted the beak several times and the Hippogriff closed his eyes lazily, as though enjoying it.

I clapped my hands ecstatically and the class joined me in applause, all except six Slytherin's of course, typical.

"Righ' then, Harry,' Said Hagrid, "I reckon he migh' let yeh ride him!"

I watched in amusement as I could see the clear panic in The boy who lived eyes, who clearly just wanted to join us safely back behind the fence.

"Yeh climb up there, jus' behind the wing joint," Hagrid instructed "an' mind yeh don' pull any of his feathers out, he won' like that ..."

I held my breath again as Harry put his foot on the top of Buckbeak's wing and hoisted himself onto his back. Buckbeak stood up. I let out a giggle as Harry hesitated where to put his hands, not sure on where to hold on.

"Go on, then!" Roared Hagrid, slapping the Hippogriff's backside. Buckbeak then soared into the air with Harry on his back, flying him around the Paddock

"No fair" I pouted, turning to Ron and Hermione and crossing my arms

"What? you're saying you actually want to have a go riding Buckbeak?" Hermione Laughed

"Yeah, did you see how fun that looks"

"Aren't you scared of heights, you dont even like riding broomsticks" Ron raised an eyebrow at me

"Shut up" I hissed at him as I nudged his arm with my elbow "am not, and besides, it looks rather fun and I trust him" I told them as Buckbeak headed back to the ground. We cheered for him

"Good work, Harry! OK, who else wants a go?" Hagrid asked.

I was the first to head over to the Paddock and easily jumped the fence, and eagerly waited as Hagrid started untying the other Hippogriffs, I picked mine quickly and done as Hagrid had instructed.

I watched as Neville ran back and forth from his. Ron and Hermione both shared practice on the chestnut as Harry watched them.

My eyes than followed as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle had decided to copy Harry and picked Buckbeak, I was actually surprised to see Malfoy had gained a bow and was now stroking his beak, looking bored.

"This is very easy," Malfoy drawled as usual, making sure it was loud enough for the rest of us to hear. "I knew it would have been, if Potter could do it ... I bet you're not dangerous at all, are you?"

"Malfoy, I dont think that's such a clever idea" I warned him, he glanced at me with an eye roll then turned back to the Hippogriff

"Are you, you ugly great brute?"

It Happened in a flash of steely talons; Malfoy let out a high pitched scream and the next moment, Hagrid was wrestling Buckbeak back into his collar as he strained to get at Malfoy, who lay curled in the grass, blood blossoming over his robes.

I rushed back over to the trio as Malfoy yelped and cried "I'm dying! I'm dying, look at me! its killed me!"

"we should be so lucky" I rolled my eyes at Ron's comment

"yer not dyin'!" Hagrid had told him, going extremely pale "Someone help me - gotta get him outta here -"

Hermione ran to open the paddock gate while Hagrid lifted Malfoy, passing us.

Mine, Harry and Ron's eyes had caught the long deep gash in Malfoys arm.

I was actually starting to feel bad and worry for the pale spoilt brat.

The class followed Hagrid up to the Castle, all the Slytherins apart from me shouting insults at Hagrid

"They should sack him straight away!" Pansy Parkinson cried with tears running down her face

"Shut up, Parkinson" I shouted at her, I really did not like that girl and she was getting on my last nerve.

"It was Malfoys fault!" snapped Dean Thomas

"I'm going to see if he's OK!" Pansy rushed as we got to the Entrance Hall.

"Make sure to stay long, and give him a big Hug!" I waved her off, knowing that would piss Malfoy off, he had made it very obvious he wasn't that fond of the girl as she seemed to think.

The rest of the Slytherins headed down to the dungeons, muttering about Hagrid as they went.

I went in the Direction of the library, not wanting to be in the dungeons to hear slander on Hagrid as the Gryffindors headed up to their tower.

I decided to skip Dinner as I was too invested in my Homework that I had nearly finished thanks to the silence and being by myself, I was too worried for Hagrid to eat anything anyways.

I left the Library on my way to the dungeons when I caught sight of my Brother and his two best friends sneaking to the front doors, most likely to see Hagrid in his hut

"What are you doing?" I asked them anyway, mostly to just grab their attention

"Oh, we're going to go see Hagrid, make sure hes alright" Hermione told me

"you coming?" Harry asked me and shook his head in the direction of the doors

"sure, why not, beats going down to the dungeons" I rolled my eyes.

The grass was wet and looked spooky as we crossed it to Hagrid's hut

When we reached it My twin Knocked on the door and we waited until a voice growled out "C'min"

Hagrid was sitting in his shirt-sleeves at his scrubbed wooden table; Fang had his head in Hagrids lap.

I didn't know much about Hagrid like the others but I did know he was one of the most kindest and best people at Hogwarts and would be surely missed by many people if he was made to leave at the hands of Draco Malfoy.

it was very obvious that Hagrid wasn't sober, the bucket giving it away

"Spect its a record," he said thickly "Don' reckon they've ever had a teacher who on'y lasted a week before"

"Hagrid, dont think like that" I told him

"you haven't been sacked" Hermione gasped

"Not yet," Hagrid said in a miserable voice, my heart hurting for the poor man, as he took another drink "But 's only a matter o' time, isn't it, after Malfoy ..."

"How is he?" Ron asked, shocking me that he even asked after knowing full well his hatred for the Slytherin "It wasn't serious, was it"

"Madam Pomfrey fixed him best she could, but hes sayin' its still agony ... covered in bandages ... moanin' ... "

"He's faking it," Harry said from beside me "Madam Pomfrey can mend anything. She regrew half my bones last year"

"Huh? what kinda-" I cut Harry off, very confused about what kind of school I decided to transfer to when conversations of regrowing bones seemed the norm.

"Long story" Hermione patted my arm

"Trust Malfoy to milk it for all its worth." Harry finished

"School gov'nors have bin told, o' course. They Reckon i started too big. Shoulda left Hippogriffs fer later ... done flobberworms or summat ... jus' thought it'd make a good firs' lesson ...'s all my fault ..."

"Its all Malfoys fault, Hagrid!" Hermione told him earnastly

"Exactly, you warned him, hell, even I tried to and he's the one who was being  reckless and stubborn, trying to show off, you did nothing wrong!" I said

"We're witnesses" Harry said "You said Hippogriffs attack if you insult them, we'll tell Dumbledore what really happened."

"Yeah, dont worry, Hagrid, We'll back you up," Ron Agreed.

I watched as tears leaked out of Hagrids beetle-black eyes, my chest feeling heavy, like a weight was sat on top of it.

He grabbed Ron and Harry, and pulled them into a hug, I wouldn't be surprised if I heard the breaking of bones.

"I think you've had enough to drink, Hagrid,' said Hermione firmly.

I opened the door for her as she took whatever the hell Hagrid was drinking and emptied it outside

"Ar, maybe she's right,' Hagrid sighed as he let go of Ron and Harry, I suppressed a chuckle as I saw them both rubbing their ribs.

Hagrid joined Hermione outside and we heard a splash as Hermione walked back in

"Whats he done?" Harry asked Hermione nervously, as she placed down the tankard.

"Stuck his head in the water barrel" Hermione replied

Hagrid came back, his beard dripping wet and wiping the water out of his eyes.

"Thas' better" he said as he shook his head, drenching us all in water. "Listen, it was good of yeh ter come an' see me, I really -" Hagrid stopped dead, confusing us all until he locked his eyes on Harry, as if this was the first time he was seeing him tonight.

"WHAT D'YEH THINK YOU'RE DOIN', EH?" he roared at him, making us all jump I was sure everyone in the castle would be able to hear him. "YEH'RE NOT TO GO WANDERIN' AROUND AFTER DARK, HARRY! AN' YOU THREE! LETTING HIM!" He barked, turning his attention on us.

Hagrid strode over to Harry, grabbing his arm and pulled him to the door.

"C'mon!" Hagrid snapped, angrily. "I'm takin' yer all back up ter school, an' don' let me catch yeh walking down ter see me after dark again. I'm not worth that!"

I wanted to refuse and tell him he was wrong and that he was worth it, but I knew that was the wrong time.

He did as he told us, escorted us back to the Entrance Hall, directed me to walk down the dungeons by myself and walked the other three all the way up to the steps of Gryffindor tower.

I managed to sneak into my bed without waking the others up. replaying Malfoys attack over and over in my head before slipping into sleep.

Everything I wanted

Quick disclaimer:

Hello everyone, this is my interpretation of @ryozaki21 story: "maid of honour - s.jn", and I kinda wanted to do a follow up after what happened but with a bit more angst to it and change the ending from before, except the one where they realised Mina was the mastermind behind everything, *spoiler alert*. but I hope you guys enjoy this one and hopefully I don't break you guys at the end of this, shoutout to @ryozaki21 for creating "maid of honour - s.jn".

Summary: After everything that had happened, you thought moving away from the past could help you move on with your life, but who says wanting to not kill yourself would be this easy, especially when you have someone who has always been there for you even behind their partner's back.

Trigger Warning: Full on angst, little bit of fluff then and there, Mature Themes, Suicide Attempt, Depression, Mental Health in a negative way, Mentions of Infidelity, Phsycial Assault, Violence, Johnny being very protective of you, Btw O/C is basically your character insert, so you can create your version of a father or a family member as well.

Don't forget to read Part 1 for context of this.

Part 1

"i'm sorry." all that you could say.

"right now, are you finally choosing yourself?" johnny had something in mind when he came here. and he has no plans on making it longer.

"i-- try to. i need to." you sobbed between your words.

"am i still your happiness?" johnny had a spark of hope you would say yes. this was his plan. now aware of what happened, he was sure he wanted to get to you.

all along he thought you were happy with someone else. heck, he even thought it was with ten. he didn't know you were hurting. if he did, he wouldn't even hesitate to leave everything behind. just to get to you.

"yes." you admitted.

"then--" before johnny could finish, you interrupted him.

"maybe we shouldn't just jump into this, john. give us time. we've been through so much. you need a break from all of this, and i need to focus on giving myself importance. and maybe-- maybe when we're good, when we're both doing great, we'll find each other again–"

"i've had enough of space away from you, y/n. a year, without you is already too much for me. if you want to focus on yourself, then i'd be there. i'll focus on you too. j-just.. just let me be by your side." johnny held your hands. you sobbed as you looked at him.

"mina's still-"

"i thought you wanted to think about yourself? don't think much about her. she's done enough damage to you." johnny explained. it almost angered him what mina had done, but then again, he doesn't want this situation to be bigger than it already is.

"As much as I'd love to, I just can't." As you said that to Johnny, you can tell he was getting frustrated.

"Come on, she's done enough, stop thinking about her–"

"It's not just about her, it's about everything, ever since what happened then and now, I can't help but wonder what my life could've been like if you hadn't come around" after you finished what you said, you immediately saw sadness and confusion in Johnny's face.

"What do you mean if I haven't came in your life"

You hesitated but decided to give up and tell him what you mean, "If you have never came into my life, I could've been happy, I could've been normal without having to worry about a man who's out there cheating on me and instead all I get is my best friend ruining the one thing I had that made me happy all because she was jealous, I don't wanna deal with that anymore, I wanna be by myself."

After you told him how you felt, you saw tears coming down his face and then you started to have tears down your face as well, this isn't how it's supposed to be.

"Y/n, I love you, I really do, I'm sick and tired of always having to see the woman I fall in love with hurt and lonely, do you really wanna experience that again after everything we've been through."

"I guess I have to then."

As you said that to him, you finished up with your shift and decided to leave one and for all, you exited the door first and let Johnny out.

"Johnny"

As you said his name, he turned his head to look at you near the door.

"I still love you Johnny, but I don't like you like before." After you said your last sentence to him, you walked away from the cafe you worked at, leaving Johnny alone by himself like before, but this time, probably forever.

Ever since you broke up with Johnny for the second time, you've tried to move on and forget about him. It hasn't taken you long to realize that he might try something to win you back, but you couldn't put him through that pain so you decided to move away from here and head back to your childhood home, hopefully your parents still live there.

After you packed up your stuff you needed to bring with you, you decided to sell most of it considering most of them won't matter to you in any way, so you sold your clothes that ended up with you having a couple of bucks and with that, you decided to quit your job considering you won't be living here anymore.

After all that, you called a close friend of yours that does moving for a daily basis and decided to help you move back to your childhood home.

You told her everything that happened that morning in the cafe and when it came to the last part, she seemed surprised to hear about what happened and was trying to cheer you up.

"Hey, don't worry about that. I believe things will turn out right for you, I promise. Now let's go."

You smiled to her as you gave her a tight hug and then followed her inside of her car.

After you two got everything into the car,

the two of you were heading out onto the highway as you finally said goodbye to the old and horrible past you onced lived in.

After a long drive, you two finally arrived at your childhood home when as soon as you arrived at the door to knock on it, it immediately opened showing your mother and her having a shocked reaction after seeing you.

After your mother saw you for the first time in a couple of years, she broke down in tears as she hugged you and tightly hold you in her arms and embraced you so warmly, "I can't believe your here, do you know how much we've missed you Y/N."

As she hugged you so tightly, you could see a peek of your father as well, you haven't seen him in a while since everything bad went down, but now that he saw you know, he couldn't help but go to you as well, As he was now hugging you and crying into you as well, you finally felt so happy in your life for once ever since college, but you wanna forget that past and embrace what you have now in the present.

"What are you doing here, we thought you were busy with with everything."

"I just thought it'd be nice to see you guys again, and I was right.", as you walked inside with your stuff, you were looking around your old home, a little bit has changed but as far as things go, it still looked the same no matter what.

While you were looking around, that's when your mother approached you and asked, "Did something happen?."

"what do you mean Mum"

"well, it's just, you haven't visited us for a while and now your here, it seemed as if something bad has happened." You didn't respond, looking at her instead. "Well...", after you put your stuff down and sat down on the couch with your mother, you decided to tell her everything that has happened to you.

Once you finished telling the whole story, you heard a sniffling from your mother's direction, you stood up and walked towards her, asking her what's wrong only to find that she was crying and wiping her tears.

"Mum...?"

"you must've feel like a fool...why didn't you tell us all this, we could've been there for you, the fact you were in silent for that ungrateful girl who doesn't deserve anything, why did you do that to yourself, you deserve everything."

she cried more as she continued talking.

"Mum, please calm down..." you grabbed her hand which had been holding a tissue and placed it on your chest, as she tried to take some breaths. After few moments she calmed herself down a bit as you wiped her tears away.

"I knew there was something wrong with her since the beginning...and the fact I fell for it is even worse, oh honey." As she held you tightly into her arms, you couldn't help but let some tears down your face as you finally felt recognised for how horrible you've been treated, even though you did sleep with an engaged man and that most of your friends knew how horrible she was towards you, your mother wouldn't judged you after you told her everything that has happened.

But little did you know, your father was listening to the entire conversation and couldn't help but cry as well after hearing the amount of shit his own daughter has been put through, he wanted to go to where Johnny was and punch him in the face for putting his daughter through hell, but he couldn't do that after seeing the state you were in and knowing exactly why you're back.

After calming his nerves he went to grab his phone and dialed Johnny's number.

'hello?' Johnny answered after taking the call. 'hi, uhm....", he couldn't speak, he was on the phone with the man that is the reason why his daughter is miserable, even though he's mad at Mina as well for treating his daughter like a piece of shit, he still thought that Johnny should've been a bigger man than this, but he couldn't help himself but to hand up the phone and just delete his number.

A little while later you were sitting there in silence with your mum comforting you. You knew that what you were feeling wasn't good, you felt awful because you didn't want to burden her anymore but at the same time, you felt happy knowing that she's still here supporting you, even if you're upset and broken, she still loves you as much as before no matter what.

After a few minutes passed you heard some movement inside of the house to see your father now sitting with you and your mother.

"I'll let you two have your moments together now." as your mother left the living room to help your friend with your stuff, you and your father finally had a moment with each other.

"Dad, I know you're probably upset with me but I promise I'll--", he cut you off by bringing you tightly into his embrace, "I don't care for any of that stuff, I don't even care that you slept with Johnny behind Mina's back, you really deserve better than what that miserable brat had put you through, what about your other friends, do they know about all of this."

You told him that they know the entire timeline of what happened, he was proud of your friends for trying to help you but also felt disappointed when they couldn't do anything about the whole Johnny Mina case but you told him not to worry about it anymore.

Even though he hated Johnny for what happened with everything, he couldn't fully want him to go to hell because of everything that Mina did to you and Johnny's relationship together and to him himself, he can tell that Johnny fully loved you and respected you truly, even though he hated the fact that he slept with you behind his "Finance's" back, but until then he couldn't hate him for truly making you happy before everything went downhill.

This was exactly what you needed, your parents understanding you and actually believing you over Mina, this is exactly why you are the way you are, your parents taught to be the best person you can be and yet people ended up using against your own self, but at least they're letting you back into their lifes even though you're technically their daughter.

After you're conversation with your father, your mother told you that they set your stuff up back in your old room, and as soon as you heard that, you immediately got up to see if your old room was still the same like before, and to expectations, it still remained the same with a little bit of maturity in it, with your old posters down and a little bit of a furniture move around here and there, but it still felt the same the day you moved out of here, but now you felt truly happy and felt way better than when you were living in the city and around people that really didn't care for you except Johnny's friends.

As soon as you layed in your bed, you couldn't help but to inhale the smell of your mother's laundry detergent and feel how soft and comfortable your bed still is after all this time.

You quickly fell asleep thinking about everything that has happened in the last couple months, as you started to drift off to sleep, that was when you suddenly felt someone tapping your shoulder softly and shaking it slightly.

"Oh dear God!" Your eyes suddenly shot open as you realized who was waking you up was none other than your father, "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you, dinner's ready, it's good old spaghetti Bolognese, you always love that".

Your father was never wrong when it comes to that, you couldn't even remember when the last time you had it, as you got up out of your bed, you went to the kitchen and sat down in your spot with the three of you all together at once.

"It's nice to see this, you know Y/N, when you were gone, this was only me and your father eating together, we didn't really felt like us, and now we know why", you asked your mother why and then she ended up telling you that you're the reason why, and then they ending up telling you that they didn't feel the same after you left, even though they're a couple that have been married for a while, they still felt like something was missing and that they figured out it was your presence, and now that your back here, everything just felt better than ever, and you can actually agree with that, even though you were surrounded by good people, they were just something missing about it, and it even more than your previous relationship with Johnny.

But that doesn't matter now, you're finally away from all that, you've finally got rid of Mina out of your life, but of course your mind had to think other things to take you away from your happiness, everything started to come back, you sleeping with Johnny, Mina yelling at you calling you slut and whore, then remembering that you still need to pay her back all the money you used for your courses, how am I supposed to do all of that without a job.

"Hey Mum", as soon as you said that, your mother looked at you with curiosity written on her face, that went away after she asked what is it and then you replied with are there any open jobs around her, and lucky enough there's enough around here for you, even part time and casual jobs here, some that pays around 20$ an hour, which is exactly what you need, if you have 3 or 4 jobs and make money like that, you're able to pay Mina back your debt.

However when your parents found out why you're looking for a job, they didnt want you to pay her back after what she had did to you, but you didn't want Mina doing something horrible to your parents or people close to them so you told them why, but even till then, your parents said that you shouldn't have to do this and that you're not a burden to anyone no matter what, but you still couldn't get everything you done to her out of your head and because of that, you left the dinner table and went back into your room and locked the door so they wouldn't come in.

"O/C, please, let's leave her be, I think she's dealing with enough as it is, let's just leave her be to cool down until she feels better to talk to us."

"I understand that she's going through a lot of stuff but the fact that she's the one that has to do all this by herself is completely ridiculous, like first she found out that she has to pay someone she hates back, but also finding out that she is the reason why you're in this mess is even worse, I'm not gonna let my daughter go through that mess again because this selfish brat ruined her, sometimes I wish I could teach her a lesson to not mess with my daughter and show her the dark side of being poor, hopefully she learns her lesson from all of this."

"I know, but there's nothing we can do but at least let her do this either by herself or let us help her out by working some time"

"O/C, this is ten thousand dollars were talking about here okay, how on earth are we gonna get the money for that, even if we do get that much, it would at least takes us 10 years to get that much."

As you hear your parents argue about your debts with Mina, you started to feel woozy and felt numb, your parents are right, you can't pay Mina the amount of money you used for your school, even if then, it would take years for that to happen, and you don't have years, and all you remember is her screaming at you and suddenly you started getting headaches, stabbing your head as of someone's been punching you, you wanted to cry so badly but you heard nothing but her screams and Johnny talking to you, you can't get his voice out of your head, did you miss him, you can't, you can't miss him.

You couldn't take it anymore and decided to get a glass jar that had nothing in it and decided to smash it against your wardrobe door, letting the sound smooth the voices in your head out with letting the amount of glass shards fly across the room.

You fell to the floor and crawled towards the mess to see what you've caused, is this it, is this what your life has come to, a bunch of broken glass shards around the floor, is this your life in front of your eyes, as you picked up the glass shard that was large and sharp, you decided to leave this world once for all, you can't put your parents through that pain, and you can't go through that again after everything that has happened.

As you were holding it, you squeezed the sharp object against your hands, you didn't care, you just wanted your life to stop suffering for once and for all, but as you were shoving the tip into your neck, it started bleeding, this is it, you were finally gonna leave this world for once and for, but that stopped the moment your parents busted the door open to see you ending your life.

"NO!!", as your father yelled at you, he ran towards you to take away the shard and cradled you into his arms, while your mother slid onto the ground against your doorway after witnessing her own daughter commiting suicide, but then she crawl towards you to also comfort you as well after picking up all the glass that was on the floor.

All three of you started crying and breaking down as your parents were holding in both of their arms, as you still felt some bleeding coming out of your throat, you started to lose some vision and then passed out in their arms, and with that, that sends them into a crazy frenzy that resulted in the two of them taking you to the hospital after all that.

After you were taken to the hospital, your parents didn't leave your bedside throughout the whole time you were unconscious as they held onto your hand to assure themselves that you were safe and still alive. But as days passed and no news came yet, they became quite anxious and tired and even thought you had passed away due to the heart monitor dropping down, almost giving the doctors a heart attack.

But today was different. You'd woke up from being unconscious for 48 hours according to the doctor and immediately gotten tons of love from your family that were here to see you after what had happened to you. But while they were speaking, you saw a familiar figure at the door, and found out who it was, and it was none other than Johnny Suh himself, what is he doing here.

However you were not the only one being silent, as he entered into the room, most of them went quiet until your father said this, "How about we leave Y/N be, let her catch up with Johnny", and as soon as he finished saying that, the family members left the room except your mother who was waiting outside the room.

"Johnny what are you doing.", you asked with a voice that sounded so damaged that it even hurt Johnny himself just hearing your voice.

"Y/N, why did you do that, did you really felt this way about everything, why didn't you tell me."

You just remained silenced until he reminded you with what he had said.

"Was it Mina that made you do this."

You couldn't help but to break down due to how horribly your mental health has gotten due to her and what had happened, and as soon as Johnny saw what he had seen, he finally decided enough is enough.

"I'll tell her everything", you knew what he meant from that, and decided to leave but you stopped him, "Please Johnny, don't do this, I don't want her and her family ruining my life and the people around me because of me.", "This is exactly your problem, you need to stop letting Mina walk over as if your nothing.", "Oh right, coming from the same person that let her use you as your fucking picture perfect marriage as if she didn't ruin a FUCKING RELATIONSHIP TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED."

You were gonna continue saying what you wanted to say until you started coughing from how you were straining your voice from yelling your voice at him, and from then you started crying again while saying this, "I wish I was dead, I wish I wasn't alive, I wish the people around me didn't have to suffer because of this."

Johnny started to cry and so did some of your family members as well because of this. He can't take this anymore, he needs Mina to see what she had done to you, so he decided to do something that either risks himself, or actually saves you from this emotional damage that Mina had put you through.

Before he left, he decided to have a talk with your father about something, "Make sure you get photos of her and enough evidence that shows who Mina truly is".

Your Father gave him a simple nod, even though he didn't want to do this, he wasn't gonna let them get away with this shit.

Flashback

After you had left, he couldn't help it, it wasn't right, you don't deserve to hide away in your shame while Mina gets to be high up in that castle of hers that is waiting to be knocked down, so after 2 months of giving you space, he decided to give you a visit to your apartment, which he later found out that you had moved out and that you haven't been here since 2 months ago, and because of that, he couldn't help but feel upset now that you're no longer here, but then it hit him, if he were in this position, where would he go if he's dealing with enough trouble and wanted a break from everything, obviously the home he grew up in, and luckily your childhood home was only a 3 hour drive away from here so luckily he didn't need to travel through plane. So after he arrived at your house, he couldn't find anyone here until the door was unlocked to see your cousin at the door. "Excuse me, have you seen Y/N and is she here." After he got told that this is the right address, he later found out that you were in the hospital due to an injury she did to herself, he couldn't help but feel horrible now after everything that has happened to you. And that's how he ended up finding you at the hospital, and how he decided to finally get revenge for you.

After Johnny arrived back in the city, he decided to drive to Mina's house to talk to her. After waiting for a bit, she unlocked the door to see it was none other than the man she took from you.

She was about to close the door, until Johnny out his foot in the way, and of course his strength couldn't stop Mina from closing the door either.

"Mina, we need to talk, Now."

"Why should I talk to the man that cheated on me with my best friend who happens to be none other than a whore."

Johnny slammed his hand into the table next to him that made Mina a bit scared of him.

"what the hell is your problem, who told you to act like the man of the house here"

"The same man who you lied to this whole time."

She already knew what he was talking about, but decided to play dumb instead.

"What do you mean, if anyone's the liar here is you for sleeping behind my back--." She was gonna say something else as well until Johnny called her out on her act, the act of innocence that ruined your health and your relationship with Johnny.

"ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING LIES MINA, I know you told Y/N that we kissed and that I liked it, I know that you spread that rumour that she liked someone else even though he was gay, you made us break up with each other because of your lies, you even made me propose to you when I didn't even fucking love you and all you did was fucking beg me to do it. and the fact you still pretended not to know anything, and at the cost of what, the cost of ME AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE RUINING OUR LIFE'S BECAUSE OF YOU."

Johnny voice was really loud and aggressive, she didn't even care, not until he got too close to Mina to the point where he was literally surrounding Mina with his body that she can't even get out.

"YEAH, AND SO WHAT, IT WORKED, YOU TWO BROKE UP, AND BESIDE IT WAS FUCKING WORTH, UP UNTIL YOU TWO SLEPT WITH EACH OTHER, I'D NEVER CARE ABOUT THAT SLUT BAG ANYWAY, She deserved to suffer while I get everything I want as always, and if it wasn't for her I would've had you as my husband and even have kids with you while I watch that failed reject suffer in silence."

He couldn't take it, he was never the one to threaten a woman, his mother taught him to never harm a woman no matter what, but he couldn't hold it in and punch a hole in the wall that was next to her face. She was basically regretting ever messing with you and his relationship, as she was basically crying and breaking down while begging for Johnny to not hurt her.

"OKAY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I DID, ILL ADMIT IT, I WAS A HORRIBLE FRIEND TO HER, I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU TWO, I'M SORRY FOR SPREADING THE RUMOUR OF HER, IM SORRY FOR MAKING YOU TWO BREAK UP WITH EACH OTHER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I WILL NEVER HARM HER EVER AGAIN OKAY, ILL EVEN GET SOMEONE TO PAY HER DEBTS, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, ILL EVEN PAY EVERYTHING I OWN YOU, JUST PLEASE DONT HURT ME."

Johnny moved away from her, it was obvious he broke her, it was obvious she was weak with power that she knows she can't control, but what she didn't expect was that recorded the whole thing just to see how much of a horrible person Mina was to not only you, but also to him as well.

"Hope this makes the media see you and your family who you truly are."

He was about to leave until Mina stopped him by grabbing him by his leg. "PLEASE DON'T POST THIS, PLEASE, I LOVE MY FATHER AND I DON'T WANT HIM TO SEE HOW MUCH OF A DISAPPOINTMENT THAT I AM, AND I DONT WANT MY FATHER'S COMPANY GOING DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS, PLEASE, I BEG YOU DONT DO THIS TO ME, ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER, I CANT HAVE HER RISK HER JOB BECAUSE OF THIS, I NEED THIS, THIS IS ALL I HAVE, PLEASE DONT DO THIS TO ME."

Johnny was pleased with how Mina is now, she's basically showing who she is, a girl who's afraid of the outside world without having her parent's money with her, this was better than the day he left Mina and went to Y/N instead, but he wanted more, he wanted her to pay for what she had did to you and him. "Unless you get rid of Y/N's debt and tell everyone including my friends and Y/N why you did what you did, I will let the media destroy you and your families business, do you understand me."

After he told her that, she nod her head and decided to get her phone out to text someone. It wasn't until he heard a ding on her phone that she told him that all of Y/N's debts are now dealt with, but that's only one part of what he wanted, he wanted her to admit that she was a horrible person that made someone that truly cared about her suffer due to her inhumane of a personality, and what she did would truly change her for the worse of her life.

"Guys, have you seen the news, turn on the tv, turn it on", as your father was in a panic state, everyone changing the channel until it was on the news channel that was broadcasting it.

"Breaking news, good evening everyone, and welcome back to KBS news 9, I am KBS news 9 anchorwoman Lee Soo Young, and I am KBS news 9 Anchorman Nam Tae Hoon, and if you thought today would have been enough shocking for you, well have we got the news for you for today, daughter of Kwon Industries CEO Kwon In Hyuk and one of the executives of National Seoul University Kim Mi Yeon, had just gotten into one of the biggest controversies that the family had ever had, it was revealed that a victim that used to a close friend of Kwon Mina had posted on her social media account revealed that she had been suffering from poor mental health due to the amount of Cyberbullying and bullying that the victim had gotten from Kwon Mina and close friends, with acts ranging from making violent and death threats towards her, to making obscene and harrassing phone calls and texts as well, and after the news broke out about the alleged news, it was later confirmed about Kwon Mina posted a video about the situation and how she was a horrible person to the victim, and as if the scandal wasn't enough on its own, it was revealed that she had allegedly made her alleged fiance at the time even break up with his partner at the time to then make a move on him until she mentioned how her partner slept with his ex during the engagement course. During all of this, according to the media, it has been revealed the victim of Kwon Mina was allegedly in the hospital due to the amount of hate she was getting from her that apparently it had even made her attempt to kill herself allegedly, unfortunately the family of the victim refused to speak about it due to their privacy. However, after the news of the controversy came out and was later confirmed by the daughter herself, Kwon In Hyuk had decided to step down as the CEO as this had also revealed other scandals from the company, such as the employees getting unfair payment and mistreatments, which resulted in Min Jae Hyung, the Vice CEO of the company now becoming the new CEO of the Company, but Kim Mi Yeon had also been fired for allegedly letting her daughter and her friends get into National Seoul University without having to pay their debut while also working with people that had allegedly bribed their kids to get into Seoul National University. With all of the controversies surrounding the Kwon family, it seemed as if their downfall is already starting, with not only the father being negligent towards his company's employees, but also the mother being involved with bribing scandals, but now the child of the family now being involved with both bullying and Cyberbullying scandals as well. As of now, alleged reports from some news reports have stated that they are now in court and that the judge is now dealing as to whether or not the amount of evidence against the three of them are enought to legally sentence them based on the law, but until then, I am Lee Soo Young, and I am Nam Tae Hoon, and this KBS news 9, in other news."

As I finished watching all of it, it felt as if karma finally hit Mina and her family for what she did to me, I did hear about her father being bad towards his employees, but I didn't think it was this bad, even her mother got fired now due to all of this, and now she's basically hated on the internet now, I felt so blessed from that moment that I actually smiled so blissfully that even my family members noticed it.

"Y/N, you know what that means.", You shook your head at what your father asked you, and with that, he moved towards you to give you biggest hug as your now free from their hands and are now a free woman. And as if that wasn't enough, your mother even gave you the biggest hug as well while the rest of your family members celebrated your victory as well.

After a while, you noticed that Johnny was at the door and with that, your family noticed it and looked towards your directions to see Johnny there as well. Some of them decided to head out for a bit but not before your father took him out of the room to talk to him.

"Even though I am someone who does condone violence against woman, what you did seem to put her in her place, thank you for that son."

"Your welcome O/C, if this will make her happier again like before or even better, than I am willing to do anything for her."

"Your a good man Johnny, I still don't condone infidelity though." After he said that to Johnny, He understand that and has now accepted that. But that doesn't matter, what does matter is seeing you after hearing about the news.

"Johnny, where have you been, I've been wondering where you went." as you sounded worried about Johnny and where he was, it hitted him in a way that made him feel like how he felt when he was dating you in college, and that really made him feel so happy.

"I've just been wondering what to get you after I heard the news, how do you feel." You could tell he was the one who made Mina come out with the story, but you couldn't judge him for that, he's basically the reason why you're probably no longer in debt now.

"Actually, I have something for you as well." As you finished what you had said there, you pulled out something out of your bag that had stuff in it that you needed while you were here in the hospital.

As soon as he saw it, he opened it to see it was none other than the locket necklace he got for you for the first time when you two started dating each other, he couldn't believe it, he'd thought you had selled it after you two broken up with each other, but you told him that you kept it for a while and didn't have the nerve to get rid of it.

He couldn't help but cry after finding out that you still kept it for a while. "I really thought you had gotten rid of it, why did you still keep it." "I couldn't have the strength to get rid of it, and when I was packing up my stuff up, I found it and decided to keep it."

"I don't why though, I thought you made up your mind about me."

After I hear him say that, i couldn't help but get frustrated but then it got replaced with calmness. "I said I don't like you like before..... but I would like the new you." After you said that, that made him so happy that he made that smile that brought memories from the times when you two were young in love while in college.

"really, even after everything." He asked to make sure you're able to answer him without feeling pressured.

"Of course I do Johnny, like I said, I still love you Johnny Suh, and I am starting to like the new you than before, and if it wasn't for this to happen, I wouldn't know what to do."

"I know, but I know what's gonna happen next." As soon as he said that, he proceeded to lean torwards you to kiss your lips, Unlike before when it felt wrong to do due to him being engaged, this felt better now, it felt like the past, warm and embracing, it felt like the old Johnny you met has now come back, and he was thinking the exact same as well, this felt like the first kiss he had with you, warm and embracing.

And with that, you finally had him back, and he finally had you back as well, and this time you two didn't feel restricted, you two finally felt free and now you two can make your own choices as well, even though he knows that your mental health would never be the same after everything that has happened to you, he is willing to make you feel exactly how you felt when you were young walking through the seasons all the way to the moment when you had your first kiss with Johnny.

7 Months Later

After everything that has happened, you'd never been happier than, now that Mina and her family are in jail now after receiving their sentences, I heard that they lost a lot of money now because of it, even some of their friends left them now based on what's happening to them now. Meanwhile you were happier than ever now that you're free from that hell Mina had put you through, You and Johnny are better now, you had not only married the man that you're now happy with, but you have also announced to your family and his family that your pregnant with his baby, his family could've been more happier than they were with Mina and her family, when they met Mina, Johnny's mother hated her for basically going after her friends ex at the time and knew why you did what you did and never hated you because of it, she even gave her support to you when you were still in the hospital getting better after everything, ten eased up with the teasing and was now teasing Johnny for becoming a father soon.

Your family members were happy that you were now better than ever and now was about to become a mother. But the only person who was beyond excited was the man you married, Johnny was so excited that you were gonna have his baby and now we're finally with him after all the troubles that life out you two through. Now that you two were free and were no longer surrounded by the wrong crowd, you two could've been better than ever.

As you see everyone enjoying themselves, you look at Johnny one more time before leaning in to give him a kiss on the lips as you feel open now about your struggles, you have a better job now, you have better friends now that actually care about you, and now you have the man you've truly love ever since you've met, and now can smile from true happiness instead of fake happiness that was built up from depression and Mina herself.

I guess I got everything I wanted then.

[p1xim0th]

How does one simply reflect from love bombing? How do I see past the bullshit? When are you ever change? How do you feel okay leaving me soulless? Ruining my mood on important days. My dad's birthday. My birthday. Mother's day. Yesterday. Me crying about my mom when she had cancer. You found a way to make it about yourself. You found a reason to be in a bad mood. You toxicity is filling and influencing everyone in this home. Why can't I think about every single thing you said that was completely horrible and just LEAVE? You've said alot of horrible things to me. You makr me feel horrible by bringing up my past, my past when we weren't even together, was never thought of. You slut shame me when you've slept with alot of people. But it's different cause I'm a girl right!? (Sarcasm) You say things like "I'm not gonna lie about -"

And it's thing you should've kept to yourself like

1. You check our girls asses out for a second.

2. You complaining about my food.

"What, do you want me to lie???"

Just about things like that I'd rather not know.

You bring up one specific thing how I betrayed you, something that happened 10 years ago. We was in talking stag, but we wasn't dating. I had one night stand. A drunken one. I shouldn't of lied. But I figured you wouldn't want to date me if you knew. I heard things from your close resources that you was just playing me so I felt hurt. I shouldn't have had a one night stand. It wasn't worth it. You claim it was cheating but we wasn't even together. You hold that against me, still. You remind me how of a piece of shit I am. You made me literally delete facebook, the one thing as a stay at home wife has for commutation. You say if this never happened, we would have friends. We would have social media. You blame all of those things because of one thing ive done. I've cried and apologize and pour my heart out how sorry i am. You don't care. We still have this same fight about a guy who is a nobody to me. I have changed so much. My old skin has shed. I do everything to make you happy. I have became the house wife while you work so you don't have worry about responsibilities here. And yet, it's not good enough. But you don't even bother helping with anything anyways. Guess you just see me as your sex maid slave. You can't even flush the fucking toilet when you piss. Yet you're "getting a little tired of the laziness" you said that because I was really sick and sitting on the couch. But you haven't even mowed the grass in a month. You was off for two weeks for work. You didn't do a single fucking thing but sit there. I love seeing you happy and relax. I love having lazy days with you. But you can't be a hypocrite. I am going crazy.

I just hate how everything reminds me of you. Being together for 9 years. We've made a lot of great memories. A lot of songs we claimed that are ours. We've watched and binged so many shows together. Spent hours playing games together. Made a family. We traveled. We've had a lot of adventures and experiences. We've laughed until we cried. We both made each other feel so special. Date nights and backrubs. I love you so fucking much but you're destroying me. You will make me feel like shit by yelling at me and how I did something wrong, you stonewall me, tell me you need space, because I finally stood my ground, civily. Then I spend the next hour crying because you're mad at me. My mood is ruined... then 2 hours later you trying to hug me, love on me. Flirt with me. I am having a hard time deciding what my life truly needs. I imagine a life without you, there's a good side where I'm free, I am able to do what you don't allow. Then the bad side where I miss you so fucking much it hurts. I can't bring myself to leave you. It would ruin me to see you with another. I just want your goodside.

Maggie and Alex argued about their teenage children. Things had been going well for so long, but now - it seemed they were all at risk of ruining their lives when they had at all.

'They're all out of control,' said Alex angrily. 'Desmond isn't focussed anymore, Leo is wasting his time on music. The girls care about nothing but the attentions of boys.'

Maggie was less inclined to think poorly of her children - for their shortcomings, she saw them all as individuals with their own struggles.

'Desi is young and in love... much like we were.'

'Yes, and look where that got us,' said Alex meanly. 'He'll have to give up on his dreams to support the family she will want.'

Maggie became angry at her husband's outburst. 'Is it really so bad, the life we have had?' she argued. 'I'm sorry if you haven't been able to be a writer, Alex, because you had a family to support. Maybe you should've kept it to yourself and let me marry your brother if it was so important for you to follow your dreams! How can you judge our son any differently?'

Alex sighed in exasperation. 'I've worked hard my whole life to support this family, Maggie. All I ask is that our children don't waste the opportunities we've worked to give them. Leo plays his ridiculous music, but that won't get him a job! Where did we go so wrong with him?'

'He's a talented, creative boy determined to make something of himself!' yelled Maggie, defending her special boy. 'He's overcome so much to find his purpose. Which you would know, if you spent time with him, rather than hide away in your office! I don't understand why you wouldn't support his passion, when you always say your parents never supported yours!'

Alex was angry now. 'Well, the girls are just like you! They could have done so many things these days, but care for nothing. Let's hope they don't spoil themselves - if they're anything like you though maybe it's too late!'

It was their worst fight in a long time. They had both said hurtful things to one another, things they had been holding close for a long time. They could see so much of each other in their children, including their own flaws. And Maggie wondered where they could possibly go from here.

'At least Stella is not such a lost cause,' sighed Alex, getting up and walking away.

love maze — best friend (18)

before you read: explanation of jaemin and mc's issues because it's never explicitly explained throughout the story

you sat on the bench, throwing your legs back and forth in nervousness. having a 'talk' with jaemin was something you've always dreaded. however, this time you felt as if things would end well unlike the past few times. you hoped that your feeling was right on this one.

"hey..." jaemin says awkwardly, taking a seat next to you. you haven't felt this nervous in a while, but closure is what the both of you needed.

"hi..." you responded, not being able to look at his face. remembering everything he's done to you. remembering all you've done to him. it was painful for the both of you.

"i think it's time we talk about this, but please let me start first. and for the love of god do not interrupt me." he explains, and you slowly turn your head towards him while nodding but not without giggling at his last comment.

"i owe you an apology. first for taking our relationship for granted and never taking accountability for the things i had done to you. however, this is not what i came to talk to you about. we've already discussed this before and i just wanna say a few things before you make your decision." he took a deep breath before continuing.

"i'm sorry. i'm so sorry that i've been holding you back and terrorizing you. i don't know why i took it in myself to keep every guy i knew away from you. at first i thought it was just because i didn't want them to get hurt knowing your intentions then, but i understand that i was the issue. we both hurt each other in way that damaged both of our personalities, but the greatest fault is on me. i miss you y/n, and i keep on pushing people away from you even if they want to be your friend because i know that you'll probably never give me a chance to be your friend again. we both know that we can never be together again. we can't erase everything that has happened before, but we can put it past us. i just want to say that aika is not a rebound, and she never was. when i started sneaking out with her during the summer, i thought i was over you. aika has helped me so much in ways that i didn't even know. because of this, i now realize that you were never in the wrong. you are a free woman, y/n. you have went through so much before me and have had to endure such a difficult personal life. you are one of the strongest people i know. i hate myself for being one of those people who tried to take control of your life. i've been holding onto the past for so long. everytime someone showed interest in you i would always shut it down and make them hate you. i know you and renjun are friends, and i'm not going to do anything about it. you're my first girlfriend, my first love, my first everything. you were my best friend too. i hope we can go back to being best friends and preserve the friendship we had before. i am so happy at where i am in life right now, but i miss my best friend. i never wanted to confront it because i was so scared. i'm not scared anymore. i care for you so much in ways that you don't know, but my actions have said otherwise. please give me another chance to prove myself. i miss my best friend."

the both of you were crying, and you didn't even care if you looked ugly. "i miss my best friend too," you sobbed and gave him a hug.

Hi! Here to request a hurt and comfort dialogue prompt: #26 ("I'm sorry you had to see me like that") with either Percy and the rest of Vox Machina or Percy and Vex. Some ideas I've been tossing around for this prompt might be after the fight with Orthax, or Percy having a panic attack, nightmare, or dissociation episode. I'll leave it up to you, though! I trust your judgment!

I really love your pieces, so keep it up! I feel so excited whenever I get the notification that you've posted, and get this rush of joy at the prospect of reading another one of your Vox Machina works. Heck, I'd say I'm becoming addicted to your stuff! I just love it so much!

Anyways here's me whenever I see your work:

you're so sweet oh my god <3 it makes me so happy that you like my writing!

Vex is no stranger to Percy's nightmares. Before they got together, their rooms shared a wall and she could hear him crying out and sobbing. It made her ache when she knew he wouldn't accept her comfort. But now that they share a bed, he lets her comfort him. He never wakes her up on purpose, but if she wakes and notices him having a nightmare, he allows her comfort.

Tonight, Vex doesn't wake up to his kicking or his screaming. She wakes up to muffled sobbing. Vex squints in the darkness and sees Percy sitting up, leaning against the headboard. One hand is pressed flat to his mouth, muffling his sobs. In the glimmer of the moonlight, she can see the glimmer of tears pouring down his cheeks.

"Percival," she says softly, sitting up. "Darling, it's alright." She gently pulls his hand from his mouth, twining their fingers together. The second she does, she finds herself pulling into Percy's arms as he cries into her shoulder. She holds him just as tight, scratching her nails against the back of his head in the way he adores.

"Whatever it is, it's alright," she assures him. "I'm right here, it's okay." The hand that is holding hers releases as he instead winds his fingers around her wrist, two fingers finding her pulse point. That at least gives her some clue as to how to comfort him. "I'm alright," she tells him.

"Vex," he gasps, pressing his hand between her shoulder blades to move her even closer to him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"There's nothing for you to be sorry for." Vex kisses the side of his head. "You haven't done anything." And then because she suspects she understands what's going on, "You haven't done anything to me. I'm right here, I'm alright."

It takes several minutes for Percy's crying to subside and a few more for him to loosen his vice grip on her. She takes his face in her hands, wiping away his tears.

"I'm sorry," Percy says softly. "I'm sorry you had to see me like that, it's unbecoming."

Vex smiles sadly, "It's no trouble, darling. I don't mind, heaven knows we've seen each other in worse circumstances than this. Are you alright?"

He nods and allows her to press a kiss to his cheek. She can sense that he's still in need of something, either comfort or a listening ear so she wraps her arm around his waist and leans on his shoulder.

"I dreamt that I killed you," he say softly after a moment. "When...When Orthax came out in Whitestone, I killed you. And then your brother killed me."

"Percy-"

"I think I would have wanted him to kill me. Why should I have gotten to live when I killed someone as wonderful as you?"

"Hey," she meets his eyes again. "You didn't kill me. I'm alright. We're both okay. Let's not talk about that kind of thing." Percy lifts her hand to his mouth and kisses the back of it.

"I'm sorry, my dear. Truly, I do not mean to upset you. You should go back to sleep-"

"Are you trying to tell me what to do?" Vex challenges with a smirk.

"I would never dream of it," he assures her. "But really, I'm alright."

"If you say so," Vex kisses him softly, ignoring the taste of salt between their lips. She lays back down, Percy following as he tucks himself against her chest. Vex wraps her arms around him, sinking one hand into his hair. He hums softly in contentment.

Vex runs her fingers through his hair, feeling the exact moment he falls asleep against her. She stays awake a while longer, making sure he's soundly asleep before doing the same.

In another life, in another time

Dialogue prompt- 27. what happened to us ? Part - 25 | part 31 coming soon |

TW- HEAVY ANGST | Amnesia | Sorry In advance..

Perhaps in another life, In another time, We'd be together.

The beats thumped louder, the footsteps dissolved somewhere in the big building. Harsh breaths leaving Harry's lips could be hear by anyone sitting besides him, he was grieving perhaps or breathing as a task to stay alive for a mere few seconds, even if he wasn't dying, a part of him was slowly approaching senescence, at least that's what he felt.

And finally he saw the healer's coming out talking to each other, whispering in low tone. He could sense the bad news by the way their faces expressed but he held onto a little hope. Just a little.

" Mr. Potter ?" One of the Healer approached harry as the other one's left offering him a sympathetic smile.

"H-he's fine, he is, right?" His voice came out in tremble with trying to control his trembling hands by his sides.

" he's fine " the healer pressed his lip in a thin line before adding " but -"

" no please. No Buts-"

" I'm sorry Mr. Potter. He- draco have suffered some rare oblivation spell. I'm sorry harry, draco have amnesia, anterograde or retrograde, we're not sure of it as of now "

__________________________________

" I'm very glad we were Able to summon you mr. Potter " the healer offered harry a little smile as he pointed the chair in front of the desk to be attempted.

Harry hummed as he sat down on the chair, Shaking.

" I'm going to ask this as a friend harry, when was the last time you slept ?" He huffed.

Harry leaned back over the chair uncomfortably, gulping " I don't know " he grunted

" harry- y- you have to understand what I'm trying to tell you, alright ?" The healer asked. Harry nodded in soft lazy motions, yawning.

After supposedly half an hour, he walked out, every corner of his mind filled with unblinking thoughts. Draco didn't remember harry, he only remembered parts of harry that seemed much like a dream to him and there seemed little hope that he would but the Healer had suggested harry to try again, after unsuccessful attempts and practically forcing draco to remember him. This time harry was to need to a strategy to help draco remember thing's and the only way to it was by storing away his memories.

He passed by draco's ward watching him look outside the window, sitting on the edge of the bed, all alone. Harry wanted to go inside, try once again but he was sure by his previous Attempts he had scared off draco and harry was probably the last person he wanted to see as of now.

Heavy hearted harry walked home drenching himself in rain unknowningly, thoughts of draco brimming his mind to care about anything else.

" you'll have to try but you have to remember harry, he doesn't remember any part of your relationship and he might not even remember you forgiving him. You'll have to start from scratch. If you want him back harry you need do "

He opened the door to his apartment, memories of theirs of cooking on the kitchen, cuddling in the couch, laughing and throwing at pillows at each other, smiling at each other from across the hall, making out against the wall, all of it lingered in the background as a television show not ready to stop but harry didn't raise an eye as he walked into the shower and sat down with clothes on and remained there, numbness invading his senses until Ron had came to visit harry and had forced him out of the shower, helping him get dried up.

" I know it's hard harry, but he doesn't remember you "

" but we've been together for 5 years, he must remember something, anything ?"

" I'm not sure how but during the time of attack draco might've been trying to conceal his memories of you but instead of locking them away, he might've exposed them. In attempts to conceal them, he gave the attacker entrance to it and he possibly have forgotten everything about the relationship "

" how long were you in the shower for ?" Harry suddenly was broken out of numbness, finding Ron putting food over table.

" when did you came here ?" Harry only asked.

Ron looked at in little shock at harry before he sighed, letting it pass " I got you out of the cold shower "

Harry nodded, watching the food presented before him.

" from the looks of it, you met the healer today, didn't you ?" Ron asked. Harry looked up but didn't answer. He didn't know how to. He wasn't sure he could answer even.

" harry, It's been days. If you can't forget him, don't let him. His entire memory isn't blocked. You can try-"

" I've tried Ron but I gave the love of my life an almost panic attack in Trying to make him remember me " harry yelled

Ron startled and saw harry break down in front of him over the kitchen table, " I miss him, ron, he's here but I miss him "

" you have to try this time more patiently harry. If you want him back, you have to " Ron rubbed Harry's back as he hugged him.

" I- I don't know how to ron. It's hard " harry sobbed

"something is better than nothing. Try harry. Trying Is the only hope you've gotten "

_____________________________

Harry shook his hands by his side violently, trying to shake off his anxiety and practiced deep breaths beforehand he knocked on the door.

" come in " he heard.. harry let out a deep breath before he plastered a smile and finally walked through the door.

" hi " harry waved awkwardly

" you " draco raised an eyebrow at harry. Harry closed his eyes, remembering why he is doing this.

" I was wondering if we could talk about the other day ?" Harry asked not moving a step forward

" haven't you done enough " draco rolled his eyes.

Harry swallowed " I- I just wanted to apologise "

" for which part exactly ? The yelling at me like a baboon or basically causing me a panic attack "

" both " harry sighed " listen, I don't think you understand how hard this is for me-"

" hard for you ? I'm the one who doesn't remember people, I've lost chunk of memories and it's hard for you" draco narrowed his eyes at harry

" I- I understand but you see- well it's not as same as you- but-" but harry couldn't go on. He couldn't and draco only waited for him to go on. He didn't.

" you know what it doesn't matter. Let me reintroduce myself, Hi I'm harry potter, I'm your used to be arch nemesis and i- we- well I'd like to be friends with you "

" friends with me? Like my days have became that had that I'd be friends with you potter!? " Draco Airily laughed " no thanks I'm fine "

If only draco knew what he had done, if he only knew. Harry couldn't stand it. He thought he could but he couldn't. He ran out into the washroom and let his burying feelings evade, breaking into heavy sobs. He couldn't do it. Not when he knew Draco didn't remember anything, that he didn't remember harry.

________________________________

" where did you ran to yesterday ?" Draco asked as harry fetched him water today

" I- I had Somewhere to be " harry cleared his throat as he gave him the glass of water.

" it was weird. You asked me to be your friend, then you ran and yet here you are again. There's something weird about you Potter-"

" harry, please " it hurt even to think of how draco didn't know what he was doing by calling him potter.

" it's weird. I've always called you potter, It'd be weird to call you by your first name. Besides I don't think we are on first name basis " draco shrugged his shoulders as he watched harry leaned against the wall, fumbling with the zip of his jacket.

" right, I forgot "

" weird, you're not the one who have amnesia.. you are acting strange you know that. Pretty weird " draco frowned

" it- well we used to be to- friends. We were friends so it's just weird how now you call me potter when I'm used to being harry for you "

"still weird. I mean I at least remember being with people, but you, no recollections as if we were never even friends. Hope you're not lying potter " draco casually said.

Harry exhaled deeply, tears forming at the brim of his eyes " it's alright. You can call me potter until we become friend's "

" why are you so persistent on being friends with me ? I thought you hated me ?" Draco curiously asked.

" because " harry couldn't go on. He couldn't.

" you need to start finishing your sentences potter " draco raised his eyebrows at harry mockingly.

Harry hummed and just stood there watching draco flip pages of a magazine until Draco asked him to leave. Harry did. He had no other option.

__________________________________

" you didn't come yesterday ?" Draco asked one day, watching harry knit a sweater for him..

" I- I had something " he lied. He was lying in bed haunted by draco visiting his dreams, sitting on an empty date table at their 6th anniversary, day they were supposed to move in together, eating draco's favourite dish, all by himself.

" not very nice of you skip a night if you're trying to be friends " draco teased. Harry looked up at Draco with a small smile before he went back to knitting.

Draco observed harry as if he was a blank canvas waiting to be drawed upon, his glance curious. Draco would be lying to himself if he said that he wasn't curious about why harry was the only one so persistent about being friends, as if there were greater reasons but no matter how hard he tried to remember, he only remembered him apologizing to him after war, and nothing else.

" do you not sleep at all or those dark circles are just fashion ?" Draco asked

"I- have trouble sleeping " harry replied, pressing his lips in a thin line.

" you can sleep around here if you want to you know.. It'll be a secret" he cared. Draco cared and it only offered false hope to harry, one he should've been very much aware of not to fall into trap to.

" I'll keep that in mind " for the first time harry offered draco a warming smile before he began knitting again and draco absent-mindedly flipped pages of magazine again.

________________________________

" wow- such a grand celebration " draco laughed as he saw his friends come in with cakes and balloons

" since you couldn't celebrate your half birthday as you always do, we thought we'd bring it to you " pansy chimed.

Draco laughed and started singing along with them as they sang the birthday song, making draco happier than he had felt in days. And in even so everything, he couldn't stop thinking about harry standing in the background, then walking out in the Middle. Hermione followed him outside and from what draco saw, it seemed like she was hugging him, trying to probably comfort him, but before he Could've stared any longer, pansy forced him to cut the cake.

Something felt missing, there was and it Haunted draco to think of what it was. There was no one more hurt by the fact that he couldn't remember even when he tried so hard. He knew there was something missing, he could feel it, he just didn't know what and for whatever reason, it felt it was related to harry.

" y- that necklace " draco had pointed out at Harry's neck when he was helping draco with adjusting his pillows.

" that-"

" it's yours " harry smiled lightly, helping Draco lean backwards.

" how? How do you have it ?"he asked curiously.

" you gifted it to me, don't you remem- " harry stopped himself.

" you gifted it to me. You can have it back if you want " harry offered as he hesitantly reached his neck to unlock it but draco stopped him.

" it's fine. Keep it. Feels like it holds much meaning to you than to me " draco replied.

Harry gazed at draco softly before he pressed a small kiss on his forehead " it does " harry whispered and left, like a dying wind.

Draco played with the ring on his finger for a larger part of the night, haunted by the fact again that harry had different motives. He Could sense it but the more he tried to think, the more he felt as though he was stepping away, more he was forgetting and it ached draco. He knew it, he felt it but he was too Afraid. He was afraid of hurting even if he didn't know what he'd even do.

________________________________

" harry, stop this " one day draco abruptly said while harry was helping With last of draco's bandages

" what? What do you mean ?" Harry asked puzzled

Draco breathed in deeply, gulping, preparing himself to drop the bomb " stop taking care of me, stop trying to do whatever it is you're trying to do, can't you see it already, it's not- it's not what you want "

Harry looked at Draco as the pained expression found his face and he softly whispered " you don't know what this means, do you ?"

Draco shook his head painfully denying.

Harry gave him a sad smile as he sat down on the chair next to draco's bed, his head dropping, a single tear dripping down his eye.

" to you it's just me trying to be friends with you but it's so much more than that. It's more than about just being friends for me " harry whispered.

" it Always have been so much more than that. Yet I've been holding onto the hope all along but -"

" I don't remember " draco finished his sentence somehow knowing harry was about to say that.

" stop doing it to yourself harry " draco sympathetically said

" I- can't. I -"

" you have to " draco raised his voice

" can't you see it, I can't. Do you even realise how much it pains me to see you everyday on the bed, holding onto one single ray of hope that you'll remember. But you, remember nothing. 6 years of memories , gone just like that. You don't get to say any of it draco, you're living it painfully, I walk in everyday to an Empty apartment, crying myself to sleep in just one hope that you'll remember-"

" but that's the thing, I will not harry. i can't and i won't " draco interjected loudly.

" I will not remember harry. Stop hurting yourself " draco whimpered.

Harry looked only once at Draco " I know " before his whispers Turned into sobs and harry was shaking with the pain.

Draco tried to comfort harry, rubbing his back, trying to tell him it's alright but he knew it provided no solace. It didn't mend his broken heart when he was the one causing his heart to break in little fragile fractions of glasses until it was scattered across everywhere.

" I pretended it didn't hurt, but it does. It does so much that I can't even sleep at night" harry whimpered as he hugged draco. Draco rested his chin on top of Harry's head, rubbing circles over his back, providing any comfort he could offer.

They remained like that for several moments until Harry's breathing came to normal and draco finally broke the silence with a painful statment " what happened to us?"

It wasn't a question, it was a statement, a grief to offer, a way to express sorrow, to visit pain. It was to offer solace that draco too regretted and harry knew he did. It was a way of saying that when they expected cherish and Making more memories, living together, waking up next to each other, instead they were fighting through, waking up in hospital bed, grieving on lost memories. Where life landed them.

" I have got to go " harry finally said, Breaking from the little hug.

Draco looked at harry only for a moment before he kissed harry in pity of being unable to give everything to harry he had once promised him and that left him in tears again.

Harry broke free crying, desperately trying to conceal his whines.

" I'm sorry harry, I really am " draco's eyes prickled with tears as the moon danced over them in the late night..

Harry stood there in silence for several moments, packing away the memories,. storing away draco somewhere he'd only visit in dreams until it was time to finally leave and he reluctantly walked towards the door..

" I'd like if we can be friends harry.. " draco offered.

Harry turned around, giving draco a small smile " I'd rather not have you at all than only for a few, draco "

" perhaps in another life, I'm another time we'd be together and neither of us would forget "

And harry walked away, coldness settling in as draco long stared at the doorframe.

I swear I'm sorry. ( Thanks to Tom Odell for putting me in feels )

It might be foolish, but you got me all soft

Read on Archive here.

Kate's nose crinkles as she watches Penelope and Colin. Their feet dance with one another underneath the table. He leans over, whispering something in her ear that makes her giggle. Their smiles are brighter than the fluorescent lights of the coffee shop. Watching them is almost blinding.

"You guys are so cute," Kate observes with puckered lips. "I hate that."

Penelope turns to Kate with a bemused expression. "No, you don't. You love us."

"Love isn't the word coming to mind. Nauseated is more like it."

"Kate, everyone finds us adorable," Colin insists, wrapping an arm around Penelope. "It's not a matter of opinion. It's just a fact."

"I'm happy for you two. Honestly, I am. But you're acting so lovey-dovey and sweet that it makes my teeth ache," Kate jokes, picking up her coffee for a sip.

"If we make your teeth ache, then you and Anthony cause cavities," Colin mutters.

Kate chokes a little on her mocha, causing a few patrons to give her odd looks.

"Excuse me?"

"Colin, we talked about this," Penelope says through gritted teeth, shooting him a disapproving look.

"No, you talked about how we weren't supposed to say anything because they're both so jumpy about it, but I disagreed," Colin protests. "Someone needs to open their eyes."

"Hello, I'm still right in front of you," Kate says, waving her hands at them. "Open my eyes to what?"

Colin and Penelope argue with their eyes for a few moments before Penelope cracks, nodding. Colin turns to Kate with a sly grin.

"That you're in love with my brother."

It was a good thing she wasn't drinking that time, or she'd have to spit her coffee all over them. Although, perhaps a spritz of hot coffee would wipe the amusement off of Colin's face.

Kate feels her cheeks heat. She opens her mouth, but only incomprehensible protesting sounds come out.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about," Colin says, his smile turning softer. "He loves you too."

"That is not true," Kate insists, standing up straighter in her chair. "I don't love him, and he certainly doesn't love me. Right, Penelope?"

When Kate turns to Penelope, the friend she usually can rely on for back-up is instead chewing her lower lip.

"Well...."

"Pen!"

"I'm sorry, but Kate, Colin's right," Penelope says, the words rushing out guiltily. "I write romance books for a living. I know the enemies to lovers trope very well, and you two embody it."

"That's ridiculous!" Kate exclaims, her heart beginning to hammer in her chest. "We drive each other crazy. I mean, we've become better friends over the past few months—but it's not like that."

Penelope tilts her head. "Would it be so bad if it was?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

A hundred reasons that Kate could never utter go through her mind. She wants to say, "Anthony dates pop singers and models, and I can't live up to that." Or she could confess, "When he looks at me a beat too long, I feel like I could combust from the weight of it." Most of all, Kate wants to say, "If I let myself love him, I know that I'll never be able to stop."

But she can't tell them any of that. Kate had been just fine about the prospect of being alone. She's satisfied with her career, family, and friends. But if she admits that she loves him, then she'll never be content with any life that doesn't include him in it.

No matter what Colin and Penelope think, Anthony doesn't love her. He can't. Letting herself hope that he does is too dangerous. It scares her more than any thunderstorm she's ever endured.

"I have to go," Kate murmurs, standing up numbly from the table.

"Kate, wait," Colin says, grabbing onto her arm. He looks apologetic, and it's impossible to be upset when looking into his puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."

"It's fine," Kate insists with a thin smile, tugging her arm away from his grasp. "I got to go. Have a nice evening."

As she walks out of the coffee shop, she hears a cheesy pop tune about love play on their radio.

The lyrics inspire Anthony's face to surface in her mind.

Kate groans, knowing she's in deep trouble.

That night, she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in her bed but couldn't stop hearing Anthony's teasing voice in her head.

In a huff, Kate gets out of bed and quickly puts on her clothes. She debates whether to reapply makeup but decides against it. No one else will see her where she was going.

Luckily, she's friends with the security guard, who let her inside the building that turned off the lights twenty minutes prior. She thanks him and hastily goes to her office, turning on the light and booting up the computer at her desk.

If she wasn't going to sleep, she might as well get some work done.

For a while, all that she hears is the sound of her keys as she typed and the soft hum of music she'd put on to work.

She thought she'd be safe listening to music without lyrics. But Anthony creeps into every note, every chord, and every song.

Just as Kate lowers her head to beat it against the table in frustration, a knock on her door causes her body to jolt upright.

She stands from her chair slowly, walking to the door with caution. No one else would be here this late, so she fears what was on the other side of the door. But if someone was there to hurt her, why would they bother knocking on an unlocked door?

When Kate turns the knob, she sees the face of the man who's been haunting her thoughts for the past few hours (longer than that, if she was honest with herself).

"Hey, what are you doing here so late?" Anthony asks.

"Um, working."

Anthony scans her with curiosity. "On a Sunday?"

"So are you," she points out, crossing her arms.

He holds up a black leather journal. "Actually, I just came by the office for my phone book."

"You have a phone book? Anthony, there's a reason for that contact list on your phone."

"I like writing it down," he defends, looking affronted.

"But you can't add emojis, which adds personality to someone's contact." Kate pulls out her phone and holds out the contacts for him to see. "Edwina has two pink hearts, Penelope has a book, Benedict has an easel, and you have a fire emoji."

"Why do I have a fire emoji?"

"Because you make me want to set things on fire, of course."

Anthony smirks. "Well, next time we play that 'who's most likely to' game in the office, I'll be sure to put you down for becoming an arsonist."

Kate smiles at him, and they fall into one of those moments that's becoming more frequent between them—ones where his body seems to close, and his eyes gleam with something she can't name but feels a kindred sensation within her heart.

Kate takes a step back from him. "Why did you need your phone book so late, anyway?"

Anthony itches behind his ear. Kate frowns, as it's a nervous tick she's never seen from him before. Anthony, like fire, was all-consuming. His feelings were as hot as flames and easy to detect. But now, he looks more guarded, his eyebrows scrunched and his posture squirmish.

"Anthony?" she asks again.

Anthony takes a deep breath. "Well, I actually needed it to call you."

"Me?"

"Yeah. My phone hasn't been working since I went out on the boat with Simon. The bloody idiot knocked it onto the water," he grumbles. "I got a new phone and need to add my contacts back on, which is why I'm lucky I have this phone book which you mocked me for having."

Kate rolls her eyes. "What did you need to call me about?"

"Well, I know we had a rocky start to our relationship—."

"Because you hit on my sister?" she asks, arching her brow.

"I did not hit on her. I merely danced with her at the Christmas party," Anthony corrects with an exasperated sigh. "How many times are we going to argue about this?"

"Until you admit I'm right."

"It'll take a long time for that to happen."

"I've got plenty of time to spend with you."

As soon as those words are out, that heat radiating from Anthony's fire feels warmer. It's as if more time with her is exactly what he wants.

But Kate doesn't let those thoughts get far. She squashes them before they can take root in her mind.

"Continue," Kate tells him.

"Yes, well, as I was saying, we didn't start on the right foot. But, over these past few months, I feel like we've become friends." He looks at her with a hesitant kind of hope. "We have, haven't we?"

Kate smiles. "Yes, we have."

"So, I thought as my friend. You'd like to come with me to this."

Anthony draws two tickets from his pocket and holds one out to her. Kate takes it from in, and her eyes widen as she reads what's on the paper.

"The Vitamin String Quartet?"

"I know you listen to them to relax. I saw that they were touring and coming to London, so I thought that—." His words suddenly halt, tilting his head at her curiously. "What?"

Kate blinks in confusion. "What do you mean 'what?'"

Anthony points at her face. "You were looking at me all funny."

"I was not!"

"Yes, you were! You were looking at me like this."

Anthony imitates a soft-looking expression, gazing at her with an affectionate smile. Kate, in horror, realizes she had been looking at him like that.

"Shut up," Kate scoffs, nudging his arm and hoping it distracts from the blush on her face. "Like I'd ever look at you like that."

"If you're going to be mean, I won't give you the ticket."

He reaches over, but she pulls her hand back.

"Fine, I'm sorry," Kate says, looking down at the ticket in awe. "This is really nice of you."

"So, you'll go with me?"

"Of course I will," she nods, beaming in excitement.

Anthony releases a breath. "Good."

He begins to back out of her office, but she steps forward from her desk, grabbing his arm.

"Anthony?"

He turns. "Yes?"

Before she can second guess herself, she leans up, pressing a kiss to his cheek. When she pulls back, it takes a few seconds for his eyes to open, as if he thinks she's a figment of his imagination that will disappear.

"Thank you," Kate whispers.

Anthony nods, giving her a kind smile before leaving her office.

The music on her computer is still playing. Kate hears the gentle notes of a piano, cautious and optimistic-sounding.

The night had been amazing.

The quartet performed beautifully. They played orchestrational versions of pop songs, which makes Kate feel less guilty about listening to them.

She worried when Anthony said he'd never heard any of their music himself, that he wouldn't enjoy it. But when the concert started, she kept stealing glances out of the corner of her eyes. She saw him watching the players with a content expression.

However, the music didn't help her much with her newfound Anthony problem. When she closed her eyes, the violins sang his name. When his hand grazed hers on the armrest of the chair, the music swelled in tandem with her heart.

He was a song she couldn't get out of her head.

And the worst part was, it was a tune she didn't think she'd ever tire of hearing.

They bantered a bit about the weather while waiting for their Uber. Kate claimed the night was perfectly brisk, not enough to warrant a coat. Anthony, however, disagreed. He poked at the goosebumps on her arm as proof and insisted she take his jacket. She eventually relented, letting him drape his jacket over her shoulders.

When he looked away to wave at the car they'd been waiting for, Kate turned her nose to the jacket. She smelt the scent of amber, sandalwood, and something that was discernibly Anthony.

When they get into the back seat of the car, Anthony turns to her. "Can you believe that couple who sat in front of us?"

"I know! They were all over each other the whole night."

"Music is the food of love, but couldn't they have got the meal before the concert?"

"You'd think," Kate huffs, curling her fists further into his sleeves for warmth. She looks back at him, offering a smile. "I had a really nice time."

"I'm glad," Anthony nods. He swallows nervously, forcing himself to meet her eyes. When he does, Kate sees a raw vulnerability glistening in them. "I just wanted to make you happy."

She bumps her shoulder against his. "You do that by just being you."

Kate's words skim a cello string, creating a deep note that lingers in the air. Something flickers in Anthony's expression, his gaze steadying on her. Suddenly, it's harder for Kate to breathe.

"Look at us, acting like that couple," Kate jokes, trying to ease the tension. "The music must be getting to us too."

"Yeah, that's probably it," Anthony hums, moving a fraction closer to her. "Because right now, I feel this urge to put my arm around you."

Anthony gives in to the feeling, putting an arm around her back. Kate's breath hitches as his thumb rubs circles on her arm. Even through the material of Anthony's jacket, his fingertips send electric shocks to her skin.

"And I want to lean my head right here," she finds herself saying, resting her head on top of his shoulder.

"I want to tuck this strand of hair behind your ear.”

Kate feels his fingers skim against his cheek, gently moving a curl that had fallen into her face behind her ear. Her breath quickens, slowly turning her eyes up at him, and the look he's giving her is overwhelming.

"This is all so ridiculously stereotypical. You make me feel so—so..." Kate's words drift, unable to finish her sentence. Her tongue goes out to wet her lips that suddenly feel dry. "I hate it."

Anthony's index finger goes to her chin, tilting it up and off of his shoulder. "Do you hate this?"

He leans forward, kissing her so sweet and tenderly that she knows if she were standing, her foot would pop up like all of those delusionally romantic heroines in movies do when they kiss.

She gets lost in him. Her hands go up to cup his cheek as she deepens the kiss. Anthony's arm moves from her shoulders to her waist, pulling her flush against him. He swallows her gasp, and Kate hears a cacophony of melodies in her mind.

Kate doesn't know how long they stay wrapped in another's arms. It's only when the driver clears his throat that she realizes the car had come to a stop.

They jump apart, and Anthony gives the driver an uncomfortable nod. "Sorry, sir."

"It's alright," he says gruffly and mutters something about "just wait till you have kids, it won't be like this" as they get out of the car.

They stand awkwardly on the street for a few seconds. Kate looks around them. The vivid leaves of the trees stand out amongst the darkness of the night.

Kate remembers when she first met Anthony. It'd been fall, and the trees were bare with leaves littering the ground. It had felt fitting. Back then, her publishing company announced that they were joining one of their competitors. She had to work with Anthony, as they were both the top production editors of the separate companies. Like the leaves, it felt like everything was falling apart. Every smirk or retort of Anthony's felt like the leaves blowing chaotically in the wind.

But now, the trees were alive again, flooding with color. Kate's at the dawn of a new season with Anthony. It's something as inevitable as the change of weather but as everlasting as the stars above them.

No—stars eventually burn out. Kate thinks that whatever is between her and Anthony will continue to burn when all other flames dim.

"So, that happened," Kate says, breaking the silence.

Anthony takes a cautious step towards her. "Yeah, it did."

"I didn't hate it," she shrugs with a teasing tilt of her lips.

"Wow, what great appraisal. Can I list you as a reference for giving me such a raving review?"

"Excuse me, who else are you planning to apply with?"

"No one, I'm quite satisfied with my employment with you," he assures smugly, his hand going up to her cheek. "But, I'd like to have a slight promotion in my position."

Kate leans into his touch. "Oh really, what position do you want to fill?"

"Well, I think I've done everything that I can in the enemy job. I've enjoyed the friend's position. But, if the boyfriend position is available, I'd like to submit my candidacy."

Kate loops her arms around his neck. "Well, how about we check over your application one more time?"

"Where do you want me to start?" Anthony asks, pressing his lips to her temple. "My education?" he murmurs as he kisses her forehead. "My goals?" Kate sighs as his lips move to the corner of her mouth, and his hand curls around her waist. "My experience?" He kisses her again, and Kate feels his smirk against her lips. "Or, my skills?"

Kate pulls back with a smirk of her own. "How about what drew you to this position?"

His eyes gleam roguishly, looking at the lack of space between them. "This particular position?"

Kate tries her best to give him a stern look. "Anthony."

"You," he answers simply, resting his forehead against hers. "Everything about you."

Kate's unable to stop herself, chuckling softly. "Wow, that's incredibly sappy."

"But it's true."

She takes a deep breath, feeling content and peaceful in his arms. "Maybe being sappy isn't such a bad thing."

"No," Anthony agrees, the corner of his lips tilting up as he studies her intently. "I'm starting to think that it's not."

This time when Kate kisses him, she does it without a single reservation about cliches or stereotypes, or how she would roll her eyes if she saw the two of them on the street.

Kate's foot pops, and the song that's been stuck in her head gets set on an infinite loop.

Stamps (Luke Patterson x Reader)

A/n: Hey guys so this one was rather long. I don’t know if I liked it very much but that’s just me being critical of myself. Anyways I hope you enjoy it!

Requested by: kennice1 (Wattpad)

Warnings: None

————

My eyes opened slightly to see my boyfriend laying beside me in his suit from the night prior.

We had done it.

We played the Orpheum.

And got rid of Caleb stamps.

Now we were here the very next day in Julie's garage like we'd been the past couple weeks feeling better than ever.

"Good morning beautiful" His raspy voice spoke as he to was barely opening his eyes.

"Good morning Luke" I replied staring up at the ceiling.

The bright sun rays hitting many different points of the studio since it was probably near mid day now.

"Morning? It's afternoon" Another voice in the room spoke making my head whip in their direction.

"Well then good afternoon my dear brother" I grinned sitting up only to see Reggie still passed out on the barkin lounger.

"Has Julie come in today yet?" Luke asked sitting up as well, pulling my body into his.

"Yeah. Said she was gonna go have breakfast and get dressed before coming back for practice. She also said she'll bring us something back"

"Oh to have breakfast. What a privilege we now have" I said stretching out my body.

"I sure did miss pancakes. I hope we have that" Reggie spoke in his morning voice.

"Look who's awake"

"Morning"

"Afternoon" I corrected him standing up.

"Where are you going?" Luke pouted.

"To get dressed for practice too. In case you haven't noticed I need to get out of this thing" I spoke pointing down at the long royal blue dress that sat tightly on my body.

"Or you could just stay in it. Maybe rip it up a bit make it more fitting" Luke suggested pushing the dress up my leg.

"Can you not try to sexualize my little sister in front of me?" Alex spoke.

"Sorry" Luke apologized.

"My boyfriend can sexualize me all he wants" I argued making my way towards the exit.

"Gross"

"I think it's endearing" Reggie said making me giggle.

"I'm gonna go see if Julie has anything I can barrow. And maybe a sewing machine. I think you were onto something there Lukey" I teased the boy watching a smirk take over his face before I walked out.

I giggled deciding to surprise Julie at her front door for the first time as an actual human being again.

Since I couldn't just poof into rooms anymore.

A grin formed on my face as I reached the front porch being careful to avoid any windows up the driveway.

"Look at you y/n. Looking as lovely as you did last night"

An all too familiar voice spoke from behind me before I could press the doorbell.

My heart immediately dropped as I spun around coming face to face with the devil himself.

"Caleb" I whispered.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh I just came to pay a little visit.... Tell me how does it feel to be alive again. Oh it must feel great"

"Just leave us alone. We've already defeated you and we're not joining your stupid house band" I bravely spoke watching as he inched closer.

I gulped nervously backing up until my back hit the door behind me and he was only a few feet away.

"That's not very nice of you to say. I've offered you and your boys everything and this is how you repay me. With insults. Nice try trying to be brave sweetheart but we both know your scared out of your mind. Scared that I'll hurt you. Or your little bandmates. Am I wrong?"

"Leave us alone" I repeated attempting to stand my ground

"I can see why Luke's so infatuated with you. Your strong headed like him. Too bad you won't make it home for breakfast"

My eyes widened as he grabbed ahold of my shoulders. My eyes rolling the back of my head.

"I have a fight too" I smirked hearing footsteps coming up the pathway.

My eyes fell upon a face I recognized to be none other than Nick. Julie's crush she'd been telling me about for weeks.

"Oh there's someone here" He said noting my presence.

"Hey, you look familiar. Wait. Aren't you that other girl in Julie's hologram band?" He asked hopefully.

"That's me" I smiled at the boy.

"I'm y/n" I said sticking my hand out for him to shake. He took it smiling back at me.

“I’m Nick”

"So your here to see Julie?" I asked ringing the doorbell for the two of us.

"Uh yeah. I didn't get to see her last night after the show so I thought I'd bring her these" He said showing me the flowers in his hand.

"How sweet. The broken hearted teenager fighting for his girl" I spoke mischievously raising an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry what?" He asked.

"Julie's told me about you Nick. It seems she's canceled on you a few times now hasn't she?"

"Well yeah but that's just because she was busy"

"Are you sure about that? In all honesty she just doesn't seem that interested if you ask me"

"R-really?" He asked looking down with a frown.

I cheekily bit my lip as the front door opened.

Taking my chance and caught the boy off guard, pulling him in for a passionately rough kiss.

Making sure that he fell into the trance. The flowers in his hand fell to the ground as he held my waist pulling me closer.

"N-Nick? Y/n?!" Julie's voice rang through my ears.

"Oh Julie. I-uh didn't see you there" I panted pulling away.

Slipping a note into Nicks hand before his eyes went from purple swirls back to his normal eyes color.

"J-Julie" he stuttered going to pick up the flowers.

"I-I don't know what happened"

"I think I can explain what's going on here. Nicks just not that into you Jules. Sorry. Anyways don't tell Luke about this. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt now would we? See you later" I smirked walking down the front path of the house. Leaving the two dumbfounded.

I made sure I was out of sight before poofing away to the one place I called home. Awaiting for my revenge.

Julie's POV

I stood there in shock as y/n walked away. Leaving Nick and I standing on my front porch.

"Julie I- I can explain. She just- She was here and we started talking. I didn't even know her. I though she was your friend"

"I did too" I mumbled in confusion. What was wrong with her?

"She left me this. It probably her number but I don't want it. Your the only girl I want Julie" He said throwing the paper on the ground.

"I-I don't know what to say Nick. I um- can we talk about this later?"

"Of course. Take all the time you need"

"I will"

"These are for you by the way" He said sticking his hand out holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Thanks" I muttered watching as he too walked down the same path out the front gate. I picked up the paper Nick dropped. Confusion coursing through me. Until I opened the paper.

She's home at last. But alone. Don't make this any harder and come join my house band or else....

~Your friend at the HGC

I read to myself. Everything making sense now. I had to show the boys.

Y/n's POV

I glared at Caleb who sat across from me. Specifically at the same table we were seated at the very first night we entered this dump.

"They're not gonna come" I stated crossing my arms.

"Really? You think so?"

"They're not that stupid"

"Y/n you underestimate your bandmates. Your Luke's girlfriend, Alex's sister, and Reggies bestfriend. Of course they're coming for you. And when they do they'll be gifted with a new stamp. Just like you" He grinned at me making me scoff.

As if on cue someone flashed into the middle of the room making me audibly groan in frustration.

"Seriously?!" I shouted.

"Told you" Caleb spoke making me roll my eyes.

"Boys welcome home"

"This isn't our home. We came for my sister and we're leaving" Alex spoke up.

"That doesn't seem to be on my schedule for the day. Why don't I have Dante help get you boys settled into your new rooms?"

"Y/n let's go"

"She's not going anywhere. She can't yet"

"Why not?"

"Show them" Caleb said as I glared dagger through him.

"Oh now you don't want to speak. Don't be rude y/n show them what I've gifted you" Caleb encouraged me again.

I simply kept quiet with my arms still crossed.

"Fine then I'll show them" I let out a scream as my arms separated from each other turning until my wrist was finally viable to the three boys in front of me.

"What did you do?" Reggie asked as they inspected the golden stamp on my wrist.

"This my dear pal Reginald is a new stamp and once activated will send shocks through y/n here once again. Only this time it'll hurt just about three times as bad. That is until you agree to become apart of my house-band. Or you could just leave her here on her own it's your choice really" Caleb spoke tapping my wrist.

My eyes widened as the stamp began to float in the air before placing itself back on my wrist.

Suddenly an excruciating pain coursed through my body immediately making me drop to my knees.

"You have until tonight's show to make up your mind" He spoke before flashing out leaving us alone in the empty ballroom. Immediately I was engulfed by a pair of strong arms as the pain tingled on my wrist.

"Y/n! Baby are you okay?" Luke asked wiping away the stray tears that had escaped my eyes

"What happened? How'd Caleb get to you?"

"It was in front of Julie's house this morning. I went to ring the doorbell. I didn't even get to do it before Caleb showed up, possessed my body, made me kiss Nick in front of Julie, and then brought me here"

"He made you do what?!" Luke shouted.

"Uh- did she not mention that?" I asked sheepishly.

"She did not"

"All she said was that you were acting really weird and that you left this note" Alex said pulling out a folded up letter from his back pocket.

"Then forget, I said it" I quickly spoke attempting to move the conversation along.

"We'll talk about his later. We need to figure out how to get this stamp off your wrist" Luke said inspecting it closely.

We sat in Julie's garage trying to come up with an idea on how to get the stamp off which wasn't going so well since it still was sending electric shocks directly through my body.

I groaned in pain as another jolt course me evidently leaving me weaker as the time passed. It was getting dark out and we were running out of time.

"Guys it's almost 8:30. The show starts at 9:00" Julie said showing us her phone screen.

"We've got to figure out how to get this thing off" Luke shouted in frustration at the rest of the band.

The three of them expressing concern on their faces.

"Okay we have to think. What happened last night? What did we do to make your stamps disappear" Julie asked as Luke helped me sit up.

"Easy. Julie said she loved us. We said it back then we hugged"

"That's it! Julie said she loved us. She connected with us and we did with her"

"So your saying Julie has to say it again and hug y/n?" Reggie asked.

"We could try it" Julie suggested walking over to me.

I nodded standing up immediately falling back down as I was zapped once more. The stamp on my wrist tingling afterwards.

"Baby are you okay?" Luke whispered holding me in his arms.

"I-I'm fine. Let's just get this over with" I spoke standing up once more.

I looked at the girl in front of me seeing her eyes filled with hope.

"I love you" She spoke softly pulling me in for a hug.

"I love you you too Jules" I whispered in her ear. We pulled back seeing the stamp flatly sitting upon my skin.

"It- it didn't work"

"Do it again" Luke demanded.

"It's not gonna work Luke"

"It has to. Do it again" He ordered. I shook my head no looking at the girl in front of me. Her eyes beginning to tear up.

"It's okay Julie. I'll be okay" I whispered wiping away the single tear that left her eyes.

"Don't worry about me"

"How could I not? I can't lose you a second time y/n. Your like my big sister and I really do love you"

"I love you too. But I guess it only worked the one time" I said before another shock hit me.

"We could always figure out your unfinished business" Reggie suggested as I regained my posture.

"We don't have time"

"I have to get the Hollywood ghost club before that show or I'll become thin air"

"I'm coming with you" Luke said standing up.

"No your not. You are staying here. With Julie. Where your safe"

"Julie's not my girlfriend you are. So I'm going with you whether you like it or not. I'm sure Caleb wouldn't mind anyways"

"Luke Patterson you are not going anywhere"

"He's not but I am" Alex spoke.

"I am too"

"Not you guys too" I groaned looking at Julie for help.

"Do you understand what'll happen if you guys come back with me? Calebs going to brand you for life"

"So what?”

"So everything we've accomplished up to now would've been for nothing"

"It's going to be nothing if your not here with us" Reggie spoke.

"Julie a little help here"

"You guys need to go with her" The girl said letting out a breath.

"No Jules. You need them here with you. It's not Julie and the Phantoms without the Phantoms"

"Forget about the band right now y/n. You need them with you. You can't live whatever life you have left without your friends, your family, and your true love" I sighed looking at the girl who smiled softly at me.

"You guys brought music back into my life and for that I'll be forever grateful. And with Flynn I'll get through this. But I will never forgive myself if I separate you from your boys" She said making my eyes water.

"Our boys" I corrected her pulling her in for a tight hug.

I sighed in content as the rest of the boys joined our hug one last time.

"I love you guys"

"We love you too"

And that's when I felt it.

The feeling from last night. I was no longer week. The tingling had stopped.

"Your shining!" Julie gasped pulling away first.

Smiles formed on everyone's faces as the stamp arose form my wrist dispersing into thin air.

"W-we did it!" We did it!" Alex shouted jumping up and down excitedly.

"It makes sense now. I didn't just hug one of you. I hugged all of you!"

"I guess love really does conquer all" Luke stated pulling me into his arms, making sure to leave space so I could still look up at him.

"We did it baby"

"We did it" I confirmed pulling him in for a loving passionate kiss with everyone cheering in the background.

Yang overload.

- Chongyun's positive (Yang) energy seemed to have gotten stronger lately, and it's starting to get out of hand more often than needed. Maybe a little talk about it won't hurt.

[chongyun x g.n reader] [no t.w] [slight fluff]

a.n I do apologize if they're always slight fluff, ehe I'm no good at fluffy fluffy yet! And the short summaries too;; (´；ω；｀)

-•-

After a while of nothing but staring at the beautiful sight around Liyue in Wanmin, you've suddenly felt suspicious with Chongyun's present behaviour.

He seemed a little dazed, it was also accompanied with a emotionless face. You would've thought he was reflecting on his life as an exorcist. But, no. It wasn't anything like that all!

Infact, it was the complete opposite.

All he could ponder about in his mind was you. Though, It may seem like it was way too cheesy and unromantic to him. After all, he didn't have the time to have such fun or acquire a small crush on a person.

But that seemed to changed today.

With a sigh, you stirred your iced water with a graceful slide with your fingers. The ice cubes clinking slightly when touching the inner parts of the glass cup.

It was no secret that you were gifted a vision by the gods. It was no different on how the others had gotten them as well.

Flabbergasted by the sudden news, you immediately made your mind up to help the ones in dire need with your vision! Of course, it wasn't always a perfect and clean run helping out, but the compensation were definitely rewarding.

After all, with great power comes with great responsibility.

Well, to start off your day, you went ahead and tried to find a glimpse of a blue haired exorcist during the marketplace below, early in the morning. Since he seems to be here for a reason, and definitely was not intended on resting.

So you decided to tag along with him before and during his commissions given by Katheryne.

It was a mess trying to clean up the scattered Cor Lapis that suddenly spurred out of his hands the second he turned around to see you waving. And by total accident, you've managed to blow 1 away from the ground and straight to the ocean.

You've never felt so guilty yet quite amused this year. Wincing, as he came back drenched, bangs almost fully covering his eyes. The wooden planks also wet from his steps.

"Sorry! I- I seriously still don't know how to control this well! I'm so sorry-"

"Its alright, All that matters now is that I've gotten my Cor Lapis back. It would've been a disaster if it swept across oceans. It was good I manage to swim my way there on time."

And Giving him his homemade ice popsicles didn't even do the trick at all!

"..."

"..."

"...so, feel better?"

"No. The heat is slowly rising up an- and I can't seem to stop it- I- I think I might've eaten something hot while I was chewing!"

"Want me to make a sweeter version instead? Or do you want me to fetch some Cyro Whopperflower's real quick instead?"

"It- it's alright! just make the popsicles please!"

This weekend, chaos was happening more frequently around him, and you were sure it was bound to continue like this in the next weeks. Besides, you weren't sure if he was in the right mindset this afternoon after all the things that had happened this morning.

Of course you knew he was strong enough to handle such issues and problems himself! But, maybe it's time for you to intervene.

And so, with a nervous glint in your eyes, you opened up your mouth, "Hey.." you spoke out, His eyes seemingly snapping back into reality as soon as he heard your voice, before making an eye contact with you.

"Huh? What is it? My apologies, it seems like I've dozed off.." apologizing, he immediately averted his eyes. Oh dear, is he heating up quicker than usual?

"Its alright, really. I just wanted to ask if there was anything wrong lately. Uh, like your Yang energy?"

"It's nothing to worry about.. Recently, my Yang energy has gotten stronger over the past few weeks and I've been trying to restraint it as much as I can." He confessed, clearing his throat in the process before lifting one of his hands up to grab his iced drink.

With a tilt of a head, you hummed in response. "I don't know about you, but I think that's something to worry about. Any explanations on how it gotten stronger?"

"No, sadly. I'm still trying to find the reasons to it, still no luck. But that's not what matters now, we still have a commission we haven't done yet."

"Wait what? I

thought we finished them all already!"

"Ah.. about that, its not really a commission but instead, clues and information's on spirits I've managed to get a hold of."

"And who did you get it from?"

"Xingqiu, he truly is a good friend, isn't he? With this much research and clues, we'll surely find a good one amongst these papers!" With a small and gentle smile, he sends it towards you. Placing the papers right in front, your eyes scanning through each information given.

'A Blue haired demon destroying a cart of popsicles in Qingce Village?'

"..of course." Ending the topic with a sigh, you took a sip of your water, watching as the sunset slowly get overtaken by the moon and stars. Chongyun did the exact same thing as well, watching as the skies split apart to show the bright moon.

Oh dear, did he managed to catch feelings for you during his travels? He could feel his heart beating.

Touching his face with his hand, he felt the heat slowly becoming more apparent. Sneaking a glance of you near him, his eyes softened.

How would he even confess to you? It was hard confessing without feeling so mushy and awkward, but now, since his Yang energy gotten stronger, it was impossible to even spit the words out at all!

It was in a perfect scenario already! There was barely any customers near, the night sky, with you by his side. It was all set. All he had to do was tell you and everything would be complete!

With a shaky hand, he gripped the glass before sighing. 'Alright, all I have to do is tell them before it's too late!'

Feeling his cheeks heat more than it did before,

He then sputtered out his confession.

"[ y.n ]. There's something important and urgent I need to tell you." Grabbing your attention immediately, you snapped your eyes towards Chongyun. "Yeah? What is it?"

With both of your eyes interlocked with one another, your heartbeats beating in a synchronised beat- you felt like this was a dream. This exact scenario that went through your head before.

His comforting yet sharp eyes staring directly at you with such intense passion, you felt like you could melt at the sight of it. The street lights and lamps that illuminate his face, and the blush plastered across his face was enough for you to replicate the same expression.

"[ y.n ] , uhm.. I.."

"Yeah?"

"Uh, I...."

Oh, well, this wasn't going as planned for him was it?

Nervously gulping, he averted his eyes from you. Watching you stare at him with a blush apparent on your face was enough to make him feel heated up and embarrassed.

Raising his hands, he gripped them together for support. "I..." He spoke, slowly turning his words into incoherent words, mumbling silently to himself before the heat finally got the best of him.

Immediately noticing how red he've gotten, you hastily replied to him to calm down. Grabbing his hand by the action, and gently letting him take hold of the iced drink himself.

But alas, it only worsened as he realized you were holding his hand for a mere second.

"Chongyun!" You yelled out, quickly getting out of your seat before grabbing ahold of him by the arm, the wind blowing in slightly to prevent him from falling over quickly.

Settling him back to his seat in the Wanmin restaurant, you sighed. The blush still visible in your face. The fire behind you cackling as footsteps from another person suddenly is being heard.

Giving your full attention to the entrance, your shoulders tensing up in anticipation, as you waited patiently. The footsteps growing louder and louder, only to be relieved that it was Chef Mao.

"Hey! Didn't know you two were still here, I was about to close up the restaurant." He grinned, walking inside the restaurant as he immediately went tidying up.

"Oh, we were just watching the sunset. I guess we've stayed for too long." You chuckled, Chef Mao could only laugh in return.

"Wayyy too long. Well, you might need to ask for some help if you need to lift a man up." He replied, his words motioning to Chongyun. His back faced to you as he placed the utensils back to their places.

You shook your head in disagreement, despite the fact you knew he couldn't see you. "Nono, it's alright. I think I can bring him to Wangshu Inn with no problem. So, How about I help you clean up, Chef Mao?"

"If you say so, and of course, I couldn't say no to that, even if I wanted to!"

Chongyun awoken with a groan, his hands immediately shielding him from the sun rays that sneakily came through the window binds.

"Huh..? Where am I?" He muttered to himself, eyes blinking twice, before he sat upright. Taking a quick scan around his surroundings, he immediately knew where he was.

"Wangshu Inn. But why am I covered in-" his sentence was cut of by the sight of you sitting down on a chair, your head laying on top of the bed. Your lips curling slightly downwards probably from the dream you're having.

Eyes widening slightly, he took the peaceful image of you in his mind. You looked so graceful sleeping,

despite your messy hair that managed to look quite fluffy to touch. The soft rays of light shining through, your body illuminating softly, giving you such an angelic aura. It almost felt like a dream to him aswell.

With a smile, he patted your hair, running his fingers through your hair. Even if it was tangled. Before placing a small yet gentle kiss on top of your forehead.

He doesn't remember anything that had happened to him during that night, like all the memories have been swiped away from him in a millisecond.

But, he was greatful to have a peaceful morning with you finally in it this time.

Previous | Series Masterlist | Next

"Min Yoongi? Jang Sumi?" the doctor asked, carrying a clipboard in his hand. "So, I hear you have some concerns you need to discuss with me?" 

You recognized the doctor from when you'd ended up in the hospital after the night you met Yoongi. He seemed to be the only soulmate bonding specialist in the whole city and your stomach turned. You wanted your needles.

"Yes," Yoongi said. "You see, an urgent family matter has come up for Sumi and she has to fly to the US as soon as possible." The doctor nodded. "The issue is that due to my schedule, I can't go with her. I know you said there were exemptions for work, do you think this would cover that?" 

"It's hard to know," the doctor said. "It's possible you would have no problems as the conflict involves your work. But, for Sumi, there's nothing obligating her beyond the love for her family. I fear it would be risky. We wouldn't know until Sumi is on the plane and if you both have a reaction, it's likely Sumi wouldn't be able to get to a hospital in time." 

"Then, no," Yoongi said. "What are the other options?"

"Wait," you said, touching Yoongi's bicep lightly. "What are the chances I have a reaction on the plane?" 

"I'd say a 70% chance you react, 30% you don't. If it'd been over a year since you'd met, it would probably be 50/50. As the years go by, reactions become less likely. At least in the limited experience and research, we have from soulmate couples. Every couple is different."

"I'm willing to take the chance. Maybe we could hire a doctor to fly with me--" 

Yoongi's hand shot to grip your thigh cutting off your words as your jeans rubbed against your skin where his fingertips touched. Even with the fabric between his skin and yours, it still felt like sitting too close to a fire. The sparks flying just over your head. 

The doctor arched his eyebrow. "There aren't a ton of options. We are researching drugs right now to help curb reactions in situations like this, but since the reactions are individualized in some ways, it makes it hard to develop one drug that will work for all."

"I can come with you," Yoongi said, "It's the only option." You saw in the way his lips were in a slight frown that his thoughts were racing. His voice quieted. "And you'll need me."

"Yoongi, I-I don't know how long I'm going stay. You can't stay forever and I might."

Yoongi's eyebrows rose as his lips fell into a frown. "You want to stay?" 

You felt the atmosphere lose color. The vibrant scene slowly turning black and white. Yoongi's hand still rested on your leg like it belonged there. 

"I could teach Korean. Do translation work. I don't know. But, I miss my family and knowing things can happen so quickly and I could lose them, I just..." Unlike all the other times, there were no tears. You couldn't cry over this. You wanted to cry, grab the closest objects and fling them at the wall until they dented it, or at least chipped the paint. You wanted to grab Yoongi and kiss him, tear off his shirt, pull on his hair. But you couldn't. The only thing you could do was sit and listen to the doctor say you had to choose.

"Can we talk about this privately?"

"Before you make any decisions," the doctor said. "I should inform you that we have been working on an experimental cure. We haven't tested it on any human subjects yet, but we could use you if you consent. We can't guarantee it will work, but if it does, it would solve your problems. We don't know what side effects would be, but we would keep you for 24 hours for monitoring." 

"Is it safe?"

"We believe it is. We've done animal trials and while they don't have soulmate connections like you do, they have not shown any side effects that we're concerned about." The doctor stood up to leave. "I'll give you some time. I know this isn't an easy decision, so take your time." 

Once the door closed, you and Yoongi turned towards each other, your knees knocking together. His hands found yours, but you felt his gaze on your face which was angled downward, your eyes focusing on the way his thumb moved slowly over your knuckles.

"Yoongi, I don't know what to do. I need to see my grandma. I wish this wasn't so complicated and I'm scared cause what if the cure doesn't work or it gives us weird side effects. I mean, technically we could die. Yoongi, what do I do? I'm gonna lose my grandma. I-I don't want to lose you too."

"Hey, hey," he said, letting go of your heads and pulling you into his chest. You heard his heart beating against your ear and how his fingers shook slightly as he ran them over your hair. "It's going to be okay. Let's just think about this." 

He was silent for a few moments. You didn't even hear the doctors and nurses rushing past the room or the beat of your hearts. 

"We were working to sever this anyway. We won't lose each other. I'll still be here for you. You can still call or visit. I'm just concerned if something bad happens with the cure. Are you willing to risk everything for your grandmother?" 

"Yes, of course." 

“Then, we'll try it. I want you to be happy, Sumi. I want you to be able to see your grandmother, okay?" 

You nodded. "Are you sure this is what you want?" 

"If it's what you want, then I'm sure." 

"Yoongi, I'm sorry. I know you--" 

"Shh," he said, smoothing down your hair and bunching it up and curling it around his fingers. "Let's just enjoy this last moment, yeah?" 

You burrowed into Yoongi's chest. You would truly miss his warmth, the way his heart beat in time with yours, how he noticed when you were anxious, and handed you your needles. You weren't sure someone like him would ever walk into your life again. And here you were, allowing him to walk out.

---

"Thanks for coming," the doctor said, nodding towards Namjoon and Eunji who stood off to the side, sharing furrowed brows and concerned glances between you and Yoongi. "Since we don't exactly know what state they'll be in after this we want to make sure they have someone to look after them after."

While the doctor continued explaining worrisome symptoms and aftercare protocol, Yoongi turned towards you and grabbed your hand, slipping a folded piece of paper into it. You flashed him an odd look before pulling your hand away and unfolding the paper, finding a plane ticket to Los Angeles. 

"I've made the arrangements. If you miss that flight, I'll get you on the next."

"Yoongi, you didn't--" 

"Yeah, I did. Now, you don't have to worry, okay?

The doctor finished talking to Namjoon and Eunji and turned towards you. "Are you ready? We need to induce a reaction for this to work, so I've made arrangements for one of you to receive the treatment at another hospital nearby. Which one--" 

"I'll go." Yoongi got off the bed and met your eyes. You'd already said goodbye, but it didn't feel like enough. There was a chance one or both of you could die. That it wouldn't work at all. There was an even greater chance that it would work and all the things you felt for the man in front of you would dissipate like fog in the afternoon. 

You'd miss the way you longed to run your hands through his hair. How your stomach flipped when he smiled at you or the way you felt his touch linger long after he pulled away. The way he could calm you with just a look or how he allowed you to fiddle with his fingers when you didn't have your needles. 

"Bye, Sumi. Call me whenever you need to, okay?"

You nodded and clasped your hands together tightly. He leaned forward and pressed his lips gently to your forehead and left the room before he could look back. 

Namjoon met your eyes and offered a sad smile. "Take care, Sumi." 

"You too, Namjoon." 

Namjoon followed after Yoongi and it was just you, Eunji, and the doctor. "Once her symptoms begin, we'll administer the cure. We'll then just monitor her for any reaction and go from there." 

Ten minutes later, it started. You felt the tightness in your chest, sweat pricking at your hairline, and your legs were restless, wanting to move wherever Yoongi was. 

"Eunji, hold her hands, help keep her still." 

Eunji was hesitant, but she walked over and held your arms flat against the bed. "It's gonna be okay, Sumi. Just breathe, okay? Just keep breathing." 

You flinched as you felt the needle in your arm and fluid spilling into your bloodstream. It was hot--not hot enough to burn--but almost. Your heart slowed, but your breathing didn't catch up. 

"Sumi, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" the doctor asked. You could vaguely make out the two figures hovering over you. Your vision went black around the edges and your legs went numb. You felt yourself falling and the two figures became smaller and smaller.

---

You woke up. White sheets surrounded you and the room was dark except for the light peeking in from the hallway outside. You heard Eunji in the hallway. It sounded like she was talking on the phone as you didn't hear another voice. 

"What do you mean, Namjoon?" Her voice sounded distressed. Worried. 

You glanced down at the IV in your arm. Your head hurt and you couldn't remember why you were here or how you got there. How long had you been here?

"He-he's okay, though? I mean, other than--"

Eunji's voice was now hushed. You strained to hear, but the machines connected to you began to beep. Eunji rushed back into the room, flipping on the light.

"Sumi!" Before you could blink she had her head pressed to your chest and was hugging you the best she could without disturbing all the needles and cords attached to your body. "When you passed out I thought you were going to die and I didn't know what was going to do without my best friend."

"Eunji--what--what happened? Who's Namjoon?" 

Eunji's face fell. "Oh, uh, that's not important. Let me get the doctor."

---

The doctor examined you. His eyes caught yours, a sad look crossing over them momentarily before he pulled away. 

“You seem perfectly healthy," he said. "I'm going to discharge you, but if you start having odd symptoms of any kind get to an emergency room. Okay?"

You nodded, not fully understanding. "Wait, how long has it been? How long have I been here?"

"It's only been a few hours, why?" 

"My grandma," you said. "I need to get to the airport and get a ticket and--"

Eunji reached into her purse and pulled out a slip of paper. "You have a ticket. The flight's in a few hours. If you hurry you can make it. I'll send your stuff along later." 

"You didn't buy this, did you?" 

"No, Yoo--you really don't remember?" 

"Eunji, what aren't you telling me?"

Your friend glanced over at the doctor who mouthed something you couldn't make out. 

"It's not important right now," Eunji said. "Come on, you need to get to the airport if you want to get to the airport on time."

---

"I'll miss you," you said, pulling Eunji in for a hug. "I'll call you when I can."

"Take it easy, okay? You just got out of the hospital." 

"I still don't remember what happened, Eunji. Why can't just tell me? Was it an accident? I must've hit my head." 

"The doctor thinks it'd be too stressful on you right now. Maybe I'll tell you someday, okay? Just go be with your grandma." 

You nodded, even though you overflowed with questions, something made you feel at peace as you stepped onto the plane and into your window seat. Normally, this is when you'd begin feeling sick. You settled into your seat and pulled your flannel closer around you. You didn't remember owning a flannel with the sleeves cut off. It must be one of Minki's old ones that you'd stolen, but for some reason, it kept you calm as the plane rocketed off the runway and into the air.

THE END 

[allthemenofmydreams]

Finals- Ben Chilwell

May has been a difficult month, with my final assignments and Ben with the last games of the season, which they couldn't afford to lose because they were in the FA Cup and Champions League final, as well as fighting to be in the top 4.

Ben didn't have a good day in training and I was stressed because I hadn't been able to solve a simple problem all morning. Which was the perfect combination for both of us to lose our heads.

"Y/N! You didn't put the breakfast food away," he said, smelling the bottle of milk. "The milk is spoiled!".

"I'm sorry, but I didn't have time," I shouted back from the little room Ben had helped me adapt into a small office.

"You're home all day, how come you didn't have time?".

Having this little conversation with him was distracting me from my homework, which was stressing me out even more and therefore making me angry.

"Well, if you didn't spend so much of your time pretending to play soccer, maybe you could help out a little more at home," I said walking out of the room to face him.

"Excuse me? Should I remind you that you live in my house that I paid for with the salary I earn for pretending to play football," Ben was turning red with anger.

"Whatever, I don't care, I have more important things to do."

"No, you don't! First, you are going to clean up all the mess you left in the kitchen."

"Damn it! Don't you understand that I have to finish my final papers or I'm dead. Oh sorry, it's just that you didn't study."

"I don't care what you say y/n, I've had a rough few weeks too. There are two finals and a top 4 to fight for. Don't want to play the saint because when the games come around you're going to want me to give you a pass to the box." he said calmly as if he didn't care. It was his way of making you angry, but his words made my blood boil.

"You know what, I'm not going to any of your games. You're going to lose at the end of the day," I said and went back to my room, before slamming the door behind me I heard him screaming my name, but I couldn't keep wasting my time.

I knew deep down that he was upset and that just the mere thought of me not attending the most important games for him hurt him.All this time of not allowing fans or family members to be present at games has been very difficult, especially since I always loved going to support him. When we found out that in the last few games they were going to allow a certain number of fans to attend, we agreed that I would be there.

It's past midnight and I'm finally done with my homework. He and I haven't spoken after the argument. All-day I only left the room to get a snack bar, because I wasn't hungry but I couldn't walk around without giving my stomach something to eat, and when I went to the kitchen he wasn't there. Which made things easier, but the hard part now was going to bed.

I went upstairs to get to our room. When I entered everything was dark, but by the little light coming through the window, I could see that he was already in bed. I put on my pajamas and as soon as I lay down next to him I could feel his body tense, he was awake.

We were on our backs to each other, after a few minutes of going over what had happened I finally said.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled and turned around to look at him. "I didn't mean what I said before."

"It's okay, you forgive me, I should have been more understanding with you," he said, turning to face me. "I had a bad day and I took it out on you, I shouldn't have done it because you are not to blame."

We were silent and then I sopke.

"Babe?"

"Mhm?" He has his eyes closed.

"What I said before about you pretending to play football and that you were going to lose, I didn't mean it," I said moving closer to him.

"I know you didn't, it's okay y/n, we've both lost our heads." He opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Yeah, but I just want you to know that you are a great player and you will do your best to lead the team to victory."

"Don't worry" he tucked a lock of hair behind my ear "as far as you being with me I have no problem. Are you coming to the games or are you serious?" I let out a chuckle.

"Of course, I'll be there."

"Then who cares about the rest." Even in the dark, I could see his white smile. He was happy, we both were happy because the meaningless fight was now in the past.

"I love you."

"I'll always love you, no matter what." He said giving me a soft kiss that turned into a deep one to give us love for each other.
