About You Pt4
Sebastian Vettel x Webber!Reader
Summary: Everyone knows about the history of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. But there's a well kept story within the paddock about Sebastian Vettel and another Webber. This is that story.
About You Series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
A/N: took me a while to update but here it is! Let me know your thoughts about this
Taglist: @spideybv28@randomcuboidshape @mehrmonga @casperlikej @cliosunshine @honethatty12 @randomgirlnumber-13 @sugyomama @ririyulife @skywalker1dream @vicurious28 @cristianovettel
Tumblr media
2010, Bahrain International Circuit
Seb: Hey, did you already leave? Can we talk? Seb: Happy holidays Y/N, I hope you are spending time with the family Seb: Its a new year, I hope you get a better year. Seb: Aren't you going to pre-season testing? Seb: Hope to see you in Bahrain
Y/N sighed as she read the messages over and over again. It's quite an asshole move to leave Sebastian on read but Y/N couldn't bring herself to reply to the messages because she was hurt by their last conversation. The heavy feeling is even more aggravated because all she ever wanted was to hear a simple sorry from Sebastian.
Unfortunately, that's the only message that Sebastian hasn't sent.
"Are you still not talking with Sebastian?"Mark enters the room.
Mark knew that Sebastian and Y/N had a fallout after Abu Dhabi. At first, he was a bit clueless about what's happening but with Y/N constantly shutting herself in her room and Mark getting a glimpse of the one-sided conversation-it was difficult to ignore it.
The whole thing became even more hard to ignore when Sebastian resulted to texting Mark over the winter break to check on Y/N. Mark tried to ask Sebastian about what happened but Sebastian said that he just said some things that can make a friend feel hurt.
Bullshit, that's what Mark said in his mind. He knew that her sister won't be moping and act like this if its something as simple as that.
"I don't wanna talk about him" she grumbled.
"You know that you have to talk to him eventually"Mark ever the rational "He is our co-worker and we have to be professional in work."
It's something that Y/N knows. She knows that she will not place her professionalism in jeopardy but as much as she could she would delay talking to Sebastian. Her fear is that if she ends up forgiving Sebastian, without him asking for it, then this situation might repeat again.
"I won't let work interfere with Seb"Y/N assured.
There was a silence between the two Webbers. It was a comfortable silence where they seem to be using their siblings communication signals to determine if they should push the topic or not.
"He got pole position today, it might give Red Bull a fight for championship don't you think" Mark offered "Maybe you can talk to him like congratulate him for a conversation starter"
"I'm well-aware Mark, I have been watching the qualifying"
She was actually debating whether she would say a simple congrats knowing how proud Sebastian is with his pole. If this was last year, she would have been there at the parc femme. However, things aren't easy like that.
"You can talk to me about anything okay?" Mark reminded. Maybe at the back of Mark's head, he feels like there are more to this than just a petty friendship fight. But he didn't want to push her sister to being annoyed with his constant questions.
"I promise I will when the time is right."
"You know maybe if Sebastian loses the race then maybe you should see it as a sign to talk to him"Mark joked a bit to lighten the mood
"That's mean"Y/N playfully punched her brother "That's never going to happen he is on pole"
"Why not if he does not get a podium finish then you will talk to him"
"Are you seriously jinxing your team Mark?"Y/N laughed
"Okay, that's a deal"
"I tell you that its never gonna happen"Y/N assured.
And its like the universe played a cruel joke on Y/N, Sebastian did not have a podium finish. He still finished 4th but knowing Sebastian, the German driver is obviously frustrated.
Mark did not finish well but he has this knowing smirk on his face as he nudged his sister's ribs. Y/N resisted the urge to slap him at the back of his head since they were in front of a lot of Red Bull sponsors.
"Go on and talk to him" Mark whispered"I promise to behave here"
Y/N took a detour to the catering and grabbed an orange. She immediately went to Sebastian's driver room where she saw Britta exiting.
"Y/N, what are you doing here?" she quizzed the younger Webber "I thought you and Seb weren't in speaking terms"
"Well I think with what happened today then I have to check up on him"Y/N replies.
Britta could just hug Y/N because she knows that Sebastian was really in a terrible mood after losing out the podium. It would mean a lot for Y/N to speak to Sebastian before Britta could bring him back for media duties.
"I'll stall the media for a bit, I'm giving you 10 minutes okay?" BrItta informed
"Thanks B"
Y/N felt nervous whether how to start a conversation with Sebastian. She fiddles with the orange in her hand as she walked in the room to seek the German driver.
"Seb?"
Sitting in the corner of the room, Sebastian looked up. His eyes were red, obviously from crying, and his hair was in complete disarray.
"Y/N?" Sebastian was confused "You're here?"
"I figure you need an orange"
In essence, Y/N didn't want to brush things off like that. She didn't want to appear out of the blue and be friends with Sebastian again. But the moment that Sebastian hugged her, it all melted away. She thought of nothing else as she missed this.
Sebastian too was thinking of the same thing. He wanted to apologize in person and he wanted to do it right now. However, he didn't want to ruin the moment. He just got her back.
Somehow its both of their fault that they brush off things like that.
2010, Albert Park
Sebastian, Mark, and Y/N arrived in Australia a couple of days before the race so as tradition goes Sebastian was once again a guest to Webber's family dinners. Sebastian feels at home with the family and even helped with the dinner preparations.
"Where's Y/N" Mr. Webber asked
"Y/N went to the market to buy some lemons that mum needs" Mark informed "She should have been here an hour ago"
"Should I give her a call?" Sebastian asked
Like a perfect cue, the door opens revealing Y/N.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I got a little bit of a car problem and its a good thing that I got someone to help me. "Y/N greeted "I hope you don't mind setting up another plate for dinner"
Of course, no one minded. The table was big enough to add guests. Sebastian was bringing the plates to the dining room when he was surprised to see Jenson Button standing there.
"What are you doing here" Sebastian was quick to ask
"Jenson is the one that helped me fix my car, thank God for drivers right?" Y/N replies
This annoyed Sebastian greatly but he knows that he cannot let his emotions get the best of him. He remembered how he acted the last time in Abu Dhabi and he surely doesn't want a repeat of that. It's just so annoying that Jenson Button is always at the scene of the crime when it comes to Y/N.
"Jenson?" Mark was also confused "You are in Australia early"
"Got an early flight, I was touring around and then I saw Y/N" Jenson smiles.
Knowing the previous history of Y/N and Jenson, Mark was also very skeptical. The seating arrangement ended up with Y/N between Mark and Sebastian while Jenson is sitting across Sebastian.
Dinner went on great, the dishes were great, but Sebastian could not shake this horrible feeling in his stomach. He hated how Jenson was mingling well and joking around with the whole family. Jenson had a way with Mrs. Webber, complimenting her food and the homey space decorations.
Still, Sebastian tried to push the green monster of envy away.
"Jenson, didn't you date my daughter Y/N before?" Mr. Webber remembered
"DAD"Y/N and Mark immediately hissed
"What, I'm just curious that's all" the eldest Webber defended
Jenson had a boyish smirk gracing his face and Sebastian wanted to punch that smirk on his face. He knew that if he didn't punch Jenson then Mark would.
"Well we went on a date for one time but that's it were good friends" Jenson explained
"But why Y/N, Jenson seems like a good lad plus he is a world champion" Mrs Webber butted in.
She seems to have grown fond of the British driver in such a short span of time. Her fondness is a stark contrast to the irritation that Sebastian has been feeling.
"Me and Jense are cool as friends, right?" Y/N cleared out
"Well if you wanna go on a date again, I wouldn't mind"Jensen jokingly stated.
Jealousy is a disease that Sebastian Vettel is inflicted with. Maybe its because Jenson already has two things that he really wanted which is a championship and a date with the girl he really liked. But whatever Sebastian was feeling, he kept it at bay for the sake of peace.
Anyways, he can run over Jenson on track.
2010, Sepang International Circuit
Y/N has to say that this is a very difficult start of the season for Red Bull. Mark and Sebastian went on winning poles yet they haven't won during the actual races. To say that she was ecstatic to see the Red Bull P1-P2 for today's race is not enough to describe how she is feeling.
Looking up at the podium and seeing the two drivers smiling at each other, Y/N took that opportunity to snap a photo of them. She prayed for more weekends like this as both drivers deserve this kind of victories.
Once the celebration ended, she went back to the motorhome to get her things and to meet up with the two drivers. However, she saw a group of Red Bull crew huddled up in a corner.
It was not her business to eavesdrop but hearing her brother's name being mentioned, she stayed hidden to hear what they have to say.
"Mark is an unfortunate case, he could have won today" one of them voiced out "He was at fault for losing his pole advantage a while ago"
"True and Vettel is obviously a better driver, look at him creating history and he just started last year"another mechanic agreed.
"I heard from Helmut that Vettel will be there championship bet"
"What happens to Mark then?"
"He will settle being a second driver and defending Sebastian obviously"
"Do you think Mark would agree?"
"If I were Mark, I would look for another team. There is no chance for a championship here if my teammate is obviously better than me"
All the highs that she has been feeling a while ago has faded into nothingness. Y/N felt herself conflicted with the situation ahead. If what they are saying is true then Y/N would be the one that will be in the middle of that battlefield.
This is Mark's dream for so long to win a championship. He have done his best to improve himself, she has seen the sleepless nights he had and how hard he tries to get a podium win every single race.
On the other hand, Y/N has also seen Sebastian's tears whenever he failed to finish or deliver. She knows that Sebastian lives and breathe racing for as long as he can remember. He wanted a championship badly as well.
It is just unfair that one of them has to compromise for the team. There shouldn't be a first driver or second driver but Y/N understands that every team had this. She felt miserable as she remembered hearing what happened to Rubens when he was the second driver to Michael Schumacher. She didn't want anyone to feel that way, ever.
"Y/N! Hello earth to Y/N"
In her deep thoughts, she haven't noticed that Mark and Sebastian was in front of her. Both were still in their race gear and the champagne smell wafts through the air.
"Oh, I didn't see you there Mark and Seb" Y/N emphasized loudly on their last name so that those gossip crew would be aware that the two are around.
"You're acting weird, we have been calling you for a long time already." Mark confusedly stated.
"Never mind about that, I just got a lot of things going on" Y/N assured
"Hey Nico invited us for dinner, let's celebrate?" Sebastian asked
"Sure, sure"
The two Red Bull drivers are laughing and joking around as they walked around with Y/N. Y/N tried to smile and join them but there was something that has been bugging her head.
In the end, she will put that conversation she heard of in the back of her head. She prays that it never happens because if she will be forced to choose sides, she didn't want to do that.
2010, Monte Carlo Circuit
Sebastian remembered how last year, Y/N has been a bit sick during Monaco so she was unable to do a yacht trip. Mark kept on sending her photos. It was meant to be a good gesture and to let her know that he misses her but it only made Y/N a lot more upset. She ended up texting Sebastian and whining about how that stupid stomach bug made her miss out this golden opportunity.
Yacht trips and the lavish life of Monaco is certainly not Sebastian's style. This is why it is common that he would be the last person to go to Monaco and the first one to leave. So just imagine everyone's surprise when he was in Monaco 3 days early for race week and he was going around looking for yacht trips.
It comes even more of a surprise when Y/N Webber has also been spotted in Monaco quite early for the race. No Mark Webber in sight though which raises everyone's eyebrows.
"So care to explain to me what are we doing?" Y/N asked.
She was dying of curiosity ever since Sebastian asked her to come early to Monaco. It was rare that Sebastian was so secretive because he will normally blabber everything to her.
"I'm not telling you until we get there" comes Sebastian's teasing comment.
"Oh c'mon I flew all over the world to see you"
"It's worth it, I promise"
Sebastian drove around Monaco and finally reaching the docks. He can feel that Y/N has the gears in her head already turning. There was an excited look on her face when she realized what they are about to do.
"Sebastian Vettel, tell me you did not!"Y/N tried to control her excitement "Are we really going on a yacht trip?"
"Well its your birthday week so I figure you might need a tour around Monaco on a yacht"Sebastian's nonchalant answer caused Y/N to scream.
It was a dream come true for Y/N. She had been dreaming of going around Monaco on a yacht for so long but her duties as Mark's assistants coupled by several unfortunate events prevented her from doing that dream.
Sebastian led her to the yacht and the two set off for an entire day of the yacht experience. Y/N wouldn't know but Sebastian specifically learned how to yacht for this purpose and this purpose only. He also called Mrs. Webber to ask for Y/N's favorite dishes so he has them prepared for lunch and dinner.
The whole day was spent floating around Monaco. They took a swim at one point and now they are lounging at the front while waiting for the sun to set.
"This is really a lot of effort Seb, thank you" Y/N began "I really appreciate this whole day"
If only Sebastian could tell her that he should be the one thanking her. Seeing her happy makes him extremely happy.
"It's nothing much" that's how Sebastian managed to answer
Y/N rolls her eyes, she sees right through that lie. Maybe for Sebastian this is nothing much but for her who doesn't earn as much as an F1 driver then this is really a lot.
"Oh before I forget, I still have one gift left" Sebastian said "Here you go"
It was a small black box with a gold ribbon. There was a scrawl on it in Sebastian's handwriting saying happy birthday Y/N. It made the girl raise her eyebrows.
"Seb I can't accept this, this seems really pricey"
Y/N got that right. Sebastian spent a long time looking for this gift since he customized it and it took a while for it to be created. But of course, Sebastian won't admit to that.
"Just take it" Seb pushed the gift back to her.
"I'm scared to open it" she whines
"Okay what if you don't open it and then I'll just hand it to you" Sebastian suggested "That way then you can't give it back"
"Got it, should I close my eyes to prepare myself"
"Go ahead"
Its so cliche for the two of them as it looks like it was taken from a movie scene. Sebastian unwrapped the gift and took the necklace out of the velvet pouch. It shimmers against the setting sun as he placed the necklace gently on her hand.
"You can open your eyes now" Sebastian said
Y/N lets out a soft gasp upon opening her eyes. It was a silver chained blue diamond necklace. There was some eerie similarities with the heart of the ocean necklace from titanic but this one is like the less flashier version. Sebastian have heard multiple stories back in the Webber household how Y/N absolutely loved Titanic as a little kid and Sebastian couldn't think of anything more iconic as gifting her a very own version of the heart of the ocean.
"Seb, you're making me cry. This is too beautiful" Y/N muttered in awe.
"I always see you fiddling with your necklace when you are nervous especially when someone crashed or its a wet race" Sebastian explained "I hope this can help assure you that everything will be alright"
Y/N felt speechless and she could feel the utter care that was placed in this gift. So what she does next is remove the necklace hanging on her neck.
"What's this?" it was now his turn to be puzzled.
"Well I can't wear this necklace and that at the same time" Y/N reasoned "So I'm giving you my necklace. Its my star sign, taurus which is represented by a bull so red bull"
Sebastian looked at the necklace in his hand. He felt very grateful and it seems like a charm for him to carry to his races.
"Thank you"
There was so much more that Sebastian wanted to say but he couldn't ruin this moment. He was happy to make her happy even if its just a friend.
Soon, he tells himself.
If he wins in Monaco then he would gather all his courage to ask her out. He will give everything for this race this weekend so he can finally stop this dilly-dallying. He gives out a silent wish to the universe that they make his wish come true.
News flash, Sebastian didn't win the Monaco GP 2010.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ So you want me to tell you the story of my life. ❜
❛ What were you going to do? Kill me, drink my blood? ❜
❛ I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for 200 years. ❜
❛ I couldn't bear the pain of their loss. I longed to be released from it. ❜
❛ You lack the courage of your convictions. Do it! ❜
❛ Don't be afraid. I'm going to give you the choice l never had. ❜
❛ Your body's dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all. ❜
❛ No words can describe it. Might as well ask Heaven what it sees. No human can know. ❜
❛ You'll get used to killing. Just forget about that mortal coil. You'll become accustomed to it, all too quickly. ❜
❛ There's nothing in the world now that doesn't hold some...Fascination. ❜
❛ The dark gift is different for each of us. But one thing is true of everyone. We grow stronger as we go along. ❜
❛ That's more like it! Anger! Fury! ❜
❛ Remember: Life without me would be even more unbearable. ❜
❛ You must know something about the meaning of it all. ❜
❛ They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses. ❜
❛ Forgive me if I have a lingering respect for life. ❜
❛ Perfect! Just burn the place! Burn everything we own! Have us living in a field, like cattle! ❜
❛ What if there is no Hell? Or they don't want us there? Ever think of that? ❜
❛ You're in love with your mortal nature. You resist what can bring you peace. ❜
❛ We're predators, whose all-seeing eyes give them detachment! ❜
❛ It's your coffin, enjoy it. Most of us never get to know what it feels like. ❜
❛ Kill them swiftly if you will, but do it! For do not doubt you are a killer! ❜
❛ My philosopher. My martyr. "Never take a human life.” ❜
❛ Pain is terrible for you. You feel it like no other creature, because you're a vampire. ❜
❛ Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. ❜
❛ A little child, she was. But also a fierce killer, now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child's demanding. ❜
❛ Remember, never in our home! ❜
❛ Time can pass quickly for mortals when they're happy. With us, it was the same. The years flew by like minutes. ❜
❛ More melancholy nonsense. You grow more like [name] daily! ❜
❛ Do you want me to be a doll forever? ❜
❛ Can't I change like everyone else? ❜
❛ Be glad I made you what you are. You'd be dead now if I hadn't. ❜
❛ You will never grow old. And you will never die. ❜
❛ I thought of all the things I'd done and couldn't undo. And I longed for one second's peace. ❜
❛ He will never let us go. ❜
❛ What is it now? You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me! ❜
❛ Is that supposed to frighten me? ❜
❛ I came to make peace with you. Even though you're the father of lies. I want things to be as they were. ❜
❛ Why do you say such things? ❜
❛ I promise I'll get rid of the bodies. ❜
❛ We forgive each other then? ❜
❛ Good night, sweet prince. May flights of devils wing you to your rest. ❜
❛ Should we burn him? Bury him? What would he have liked? ❜
❛ You've been a very, very naughty little girl. ❜
❛ We deserve your vengeance. ❜
❛ For what could the damned really have to say to the damned? ❜
❛ There are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula? ❜
❛ I've searched the world for an immortal and this is what I find! ❜
❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜
❛ Vampires who pretend to be humans pretending to be vampires. How avant-garde. ❜
❛ Do you know what it means to be loved by Death? ❜
❛ You die when you kill. You feel you deserve to die and you stint on nothing. ❜
❛ But perhaps...this is the only real evil left. ❜
❛ I know nothing of God. Or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul. ❜
❛ You fear too much. So much you make me fear. ❜
❛ There is but one crime among us vampires here. It is the crime that means death to any vampire: To kill your own kind. ❜
❛ Danger holds you to me. ❜
❛ Love holds you to me. ❜
❛ You would leave me for [name] if he beckoned you. ❜
❛ Is that what I should do? Let you go? ❜
❛ If you want to save her, send her away! ❜
❛ The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that finally kills us. ❜
❛ I need you to make contact with this age. ❜
❛ A vampire with a human soul. An immortal with a mortal's passion. ❜
❛ You are beautiful, my friend. [name] must have wept when he made you. ❜
❛ I knew him. Knew him well enough not to mourn his passing. ❜
❛ Your evil is that you cannot be evil! And I shall suffer for it no longer! ❜
❛ I haven't tears enough for what you've done to me! ❜
❛ Oh, God! I love you still! That's the torment of it! ❜
❛ Who'll care for me, my love, my dark angel, when you are gone? ❜
❛ Bear me no ill will, my love. We are now even. ❜
❛ What has died is the last breath in me that was human. ❜
❛ Your only company will be your screams. ❜
❛ Maybe it was to quench those tears forever that I took such revenge. ❜
❛ You can teach me this? To be without regret? ❜
❛ What if all I have is my suffering? My regret? ❜
❛ I know you regret nothing. You feel nothing. If that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own. ❜
❛ You've come home to me then? ❜
❛ I'm a spirit of preternatural flesh. Detached. Unchangeable. Empty. ❜
❛ That's it? No, it can't end like that. ❜
❛ What I wouldn't give to be like you, to have your power, to have seen the things you have seen. ❜
❛ You want a companion. You want a link to the outside world. That's me. Take me.❜
❛ Do you like this? Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying? ❜
❛ I assume I need no introduction. ❜
❛ Still whining. Heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries. ❜

   “   Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book?   ”
   “   I know, I know. Sometimes I get a little carried away.   ”
   “   You know, that's what this is all about, right? I mean – discovery, teamwork, adventure. Unless, maybe, you're just in it for the money.   ”
   “   Hey, how’d you learn how to do that?   ”
   “   I never got to meet your grandfather. What was he like?   ”
   “   He was like a father to me, really.   ”
   “   My parents died when I was a little kid, and he took me in.   ”
   “   That is so cute!   ”
   “   Uh, no... no offense.. but how does a teenager become the chief mechanic of a multimillion dollar expedition?   ”
   “   So, what... what happened to your sister?   ”
   “   I just like to blow things up.   ”
   “   All right, who's not dead? Sound off.   ”
   “   Maybe that's our ticket outta here.   ”
   “   I gotta hand it to you. You really came through.   ”
   “   They can smell fear just by looking at ya.   ”
   “   We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace.   ”
   “   Come. You must speak with my father now.   ”
   “   Someone's having a good time.   ”
   “   Commander, there were not supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.   ”
   “   This changes nothing.   ”
   “   You presume much to think that you would be welcome here.   ”
   “   I know what you seek and you will not find it here.   ”
   “   Your journey has been in vain.   ”
   “   May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir?   ”
   “   Your heart has softened, Kida.   ”
   “   A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight.   ”
   “   We were once a great people. Now we live in ruins.   ”
   “   The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen.   ”
   “   Our way of life is dying.   ”
   “   When you take the throne, you will understand.   ”
   “   Well, the King and his daughter don't exactly see eye to eye.   ”
   “   Well, if he's hiding something, I want to know what it is.   ”
   “   Look, I have some questions for you, and I'm not leaving this city until they're answered!   ”
   “   Oh, there is so much to ask about your world.   ”
   “   You are a scholar, are you not?   ”
   “   I got a few questions for you, too. So let's do this, OK? You ask one, then I'll ask one, then you, then me, then...well, you get it.   ”
   “   how did you get here? Well, I mean, not you personally... but your... your culture. I mean, how did all of this end up down here?   ”
   “   Wh... what... what … are you telling me… that you remember what happened because you were there? No, that... that's impossible...   ”
   “   How was my accent?   ”
   “   You know, you deserve credit for even... even gettin' this far.   ”
   “   By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name's Milo.   ”
   “   Uh, hey, you got a nickname?   ”
   “   You know, my grandpa used to tell me stories about this place as far back as I can remember.   ”
   “   I just wish that he could be standing here with me.   ”
   “   We are not thriving. True, our people live. but our culture is dying.   ”
  “   I wish there was something I could do.   ”
   “   Why don't you lead the way, because I have no idea where we're going.   ”
   “   This is amazing! A complete history of Atlantis!   ”
   “   I am such an idiot.   ”
   “   This is just another treasure hunt for you.   ”
   “   I would've told you sooner, but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis.   ”
   “   Welcome to the club, son.   ”
   “   Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist."   ”
   “   You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke.   ”
   “   Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty.   ”
   “   I got to admit, I'm disappointed.   ”
   “   You're an idealist, just like your grandfather.   ”
   “   For once, do the smart thing.   ”
   “   I really hate it when negotiations go sour.   ”
   “   Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us.   ”
   “   You've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.   ”
   “   Let’s get this over with. I don’t like this place.  
   “   Doesn’t anything surprise you?   ”
   “   Talk to me, Thatch. What's happening?   ”
   “   So I guess this is how it ends, huh?   ”
   “   You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along.   ”
   “   Be serious. This is wrong, and you know it.   ”
   “    You pick now of all times to grow a conscience?   ”
   “   She has been chosen... like her mother before her.   ”
   “   I followed you in, and I'll follow you out.   ”
   “   it's been my experience that when you hit bottom, the only place left to go is up.   ”
   “   What do you think that you are doing?   ”
   “   We're going to save Atlantis, or we're going to die trying.   ”
   “   Well, I have to hand it to you. You're a bigger pain in the neck than I would have ever thought possible.   ”
   “   Tired? Aw, that's a darn shame, because I'm just getting warmed up.   ”
   “   There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis.   ”
   “   I don't think the world needs another hero.   ”
   “   I'm going to miss that boy. At least he's in a better place now.   ”

Bad Girl
TW!: chapter contains extreme violence, disturbing, blood , gore , death , not real . (MDNI) .
(Enemies to lovers)
(Yandere bada)
You've been warned....
Tumblr media
"Of course! What do you want?" Nana questions , fear laced in her voice . Bada chuckles. "Isn't it obvious? I want Y/n to work for me from now on "
"What?!" She stands and slams her hands on her desk "she works for me! There's no way in hell I'll hand her over to you just like that!" She yells. Fear no longer in her voice .
"There's no need to yell . Now sit back down " Badas voice deepens . She sits back down in fear knowing she'll be next to have a bullet go through her head if she didn't control herself.
"Listen you old hag...." Nana glares at Bada . "This bitch!" She angrily through. "I'll make this short and simple . Y/n works for me , I'll give you anything you wish for. Money....drugs..... power......Anything." Bada's smirk widens .
Nana hesitates , remaining silent . She sighs . "Im sorry but I am not going to do that " Bada frowns but her frown sonn turns into a smirk. "Afraid?" Nana look at Bada with a confused look . "Afriad of what ?" She answers confused .
"That you'll lose your most prized possession?"
Her eyes widen. " I...I don't know what you're talking about" she stutters . "Without y/n your clan would be nothing. You'd be nothing...you're weak and we both know that ? You'd lose all your business and money.
Nana begins to violently shale . "You see, y/n , in your terms is ' a thing' for you to use ofr your own selfish needs ." Bada glares at Nana . She continues to tremble in fear .
"I don't see her in that way though....so what do you say?" Bada asks "what if I refuse?" She crosses her arms . "Then that's your call. I'm just warning you if you refuse , ill ruin your status, your business and dealing. " Bada chuckles. "You.... you wouldn't!" " ill maybe consider y/n continuing to come here and seeing you or the others."
Bada was right about everything . Your boss never cared once for you . She only wanted money , power and fame so she used you in order to get what she wanted .
"So what do you say?" She smirks . 'If I give y/n to her I won't have any business ruined . If this bitch considers it , she'll still come here but so often anymore...' Nana think . She looks down to her feet and nods .
"Deal..."
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Y/n let's go..." Kristen places her hand on your shoulder but you only shake your head . You refused to let go of Finn . "We need to go" Kristen says .
"You can go! Just leave me alone with him.." you cried . "I'll be waiting i-" Kristen stops talking as you both heard footsteps coming your way .
Kristen stand in front of you , hands in her pocket. Ready to pull her gun out and shoot the ones coming toward you.
Bada appears in of of Kristen with Nana behind her . You didn't bother looking up , you could care less about them . " I though I told you to le-" Nana stops talking as she sees you clutching on a dead body.....
Finn's lifeless body....
Bada starters at your broken state . She tries to approach you but Kristen didn't allow it . "Step aside." "Make me" Kristen snaps back . Bada glares. "Don't worry were about to leave." She responds to Nana .
"Jusg leave him y/n . Ill take care of Finn's-" you cut her off. " as if I'd leave him with you.....all you're gonna do is ditch his body somewhere and let it rot. I don't think so . I won't allow it !" You yell . Glaring at the boss with tears in your eyes . Taken by your words , she glares back .
She pulls her gun right at you . Both Kristen and Bada's eye's widen . Bada's blood boils with anger . She pulls out her own weapon , pointing it directly at Nana ? Her eyes widen in shock .
"Put the gun down"
Nana doesn't hesitate. She drops the gun and kicks it away . " you two leave , I want to have a private conversation with y/n" Bada ordered .
"No way i wo-" you interrupt Kristen . " I'll be fine Kristen , just go" you sigh quietly. She sighs back in defeat and nods . Both of them wait outside .
"Sorry for your loss" "cut the crap , what do you want ?! "She sighs and kneels down to your level , her hand reaching towards you . You glare and hold Finn's body closer to you .
"Im not going to do anything plea-" " you order your men to kill them!" Yu look down at Finn . Your tears landing on his face ."your order caused his death....." .
Memories begin to flood your mind . The first time you've met , the time he saved u his money to buy you a rose necklace for your birthday. You hah to admit , that was the nicest things someone has ever given to you. You promised him that you'll take good care of the necklace . You ever once took it off.
You've always enjoyed his energy, his courge , his kindness , his warm hugs....his smile...
His wamth was no longer there . His body was now cold and limp . No life left in him....
The image of him smiling brightly...
The time he'd run up to you and give you the biggest , warmest hugs right after you came from your job matter what time of the day was it .
You've always enjoyed it .
The image in your head of him smiling fading away . More tears start to steam down your eyes . Landing on Finn
You snap out of your thought as you feel a warm hand on your cheek . Bada's hand . She wipes away your tears .
"So warm , so soft "she says to herself . "Enough with the tears doll .I'm truly sorry for hurting you . I apologise for what I've done . Let me make it up to you " .
"There's nothing you can do to make it up... its already too late to him him...he's gone" you whisper " you didn't let me finish"
"I'll give him a proper burial . I won't allow that old women to ditch a child out of nowhere. I won't let her do such a thing . I can tell you two were close " you only nod
"A proper burial?" You quietly ask . She nods . "Yeah that would be nice.." you look down at Finn. You lace your hand on his eyes , closing them "I'll give you money if you wan-" .
"I don't want your money d rather you give it to his family . They need it the most... she once again nods and smiles this time.
"As you wish my doll " .

𝑀. the secrets of life ... sentence starters from valentine wolfe's 2018 album, the haunting of mary shelley. feel free to change tense / pronouns !
you'll see me soon, or nevermore.
how slowly time passes here.
I am as fixed as fate.
I can't stop, or turn back now.
I've left too much unsaid.
I am your voice in the dark.
I have no friend.
they will try to cut you up.
they will put you back together wrong. so very, very wrong.
a vessel can have many purposes.
decoration lends a purpose
hold on to my voice at night.
you can be remade.
revel in the decadence as they wallow in their ignorance.
you will have all the knowledge they foolishly squandered away.
you won't ever be alone again.
you can hear her anguished cries.
your compassion makes you perfect, so perfect.
I know what you seek.
I know why you cry.
I know your breaking heart.
I know how you'll die.
[ name ] was as a daughter.
we thought that your compassion made you perfect.
the shadowed window pane offers a ghostly glimpse into your paradise of domestic bliss.
where is my place in this ?
I am an endless wanderer upon this land, a maker's thoughtless touch.
why am I so alone ?
you never stooped so low.
chase away my fears.
my tears must burn with rage.
lashing out in anger, my soul is fractured fragments.
this haunted world is littered with the ghosts of the past.
everywhere I turn there’s a part of me in all of them.
there’s so much of you in all of me.
but I don’t fit.
then sorrow shall follow behind me as my bridal train.
It’s a mystery I never understood.
it's not your story to tell.
she never knew her mother.
her voice was always there.
If only the good doctor had taken better care to imbue their new creation with a mother’s love.
what horrors might have been averted !
this author knew her subject well.
all men hate the wretched, how then must I be hated.
your actions have wronged me, I must have revenge.
I am miserable beyond all living things.
make me happy, I shall again be virtuous.
what flows out must pour back in.
I will be with you on your wedding night.
I will glut myself on your shrieks.
I will revel in your misery.
I bear a hell within me, I will loose it all upon you
you will learn to dread misfortune, you will learn the agony.
I will work at your destruction, I will desolate your heart.
the death knell shall be rung, each toll a stake into your heart.
in the halls of silence, electric genius cursed me.
I remember when I wondered : what if no one had to die ?
no more farewells.
you will never have to die.
it was not what I'd intended.
I was only ever meant to live alone until the end.
death is now a welcome guest.
the pages turn, the book never ends.
the story grows cold inside my head.
I only ever wanted to help.
the echo of you will never be enough, as long as the black veil separates us.
even stretched on your grave, I’m not close enough.
the reaper is a friend.
death's kiss is a gift.
you took from me, my agency.
now I'm just a whisper in a shadow.
I am leaving this world behind.
do not search for me in heaven.
they were atypical in their custom and belief.
yet, I am bound to them.
they would slander and decry that which they don’t understand.
ignorance will lead to fear, especially if it runs unchecked.
the only way to fight the dark is by lighting up the truth.
never once back away from what lies beyond.
your lies can't hurt me now.

the battle of the labyrinth by rick riordan sentence starters.
it's not a date!
not even my luck could be this bad.
i didn't get your full name last time when you tried to kill me.
you called me a mortal. like you're not.
tell me. you know what it means. all these horrible things i see?
for years i thought i was going crazy. i couldn't tell anybody.
i'm not a monster.
you don't need that. how about a kiss instead?
such a pretty little blade. what a shame it stands between us.
it would be merciful to end your life now, before you have to see that.
what did you do this time?
i'll make up some story. i'll tell them it wasn't your fault.
she's kind of cute.
promise not to kill me if i put my sword away?
i'm talking about justice. vengeance.
you will learn differently as you get older.
do you want revenge or not?
he was driven insane. he didn't die.
your armor is crooked.
we're fine. we fell in a hole.
there will be no killing today.
i don't fear you.
are you going to help me or not?
don't tell me you're scared.
you don't understand anything. i'm never going in there again.
we've had plenty of problems before, and we solved them.
you wanted power. i gave you that.
i told you not to disturb me.
you know my heart belongs to you.
you're in charge now. all the decisions are on your shoulders. that's what you wanted, isn't it?
i didn't think you liked heroes.
didn't you try to kill him, like, a lot of times?
getting something and having the wits to use it... those are two different things.
if you thought your first imprisonment was unbearable, you have yet to feel true torment.
demigods are cheaters.
i have nothing to offer. i have lost everything.
you should sleep.
how about i take first watch? i'll wake you if anything happens.
my friends are in danger.
you pick fights for no good reason.
i was hoping you would give up.
you have to forgive. you have to promise me this.
you should not fear power. use it.
some of us... the way we learn not to trust people is even more painful.
no. i'm not leaving you.
do you support the gods because they are good, or because they're your family?
be careful of love. it'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.
you could stay with me. i'm afraid that is the only way you could help me.
we thought you were dead.
you are the single most annoying person i have ever met.
she will calm down. she's jealous.
sometimes things go wrong. heroes get hurt. they die, and the monsters just keep coming back.
do me a favor. if you find him, don't trust him. don't ask him for help. just kill him.
i'm calm. every time i'm around you, some monster attacks us. what's there to be nervous about?
i could be gone a week and my parents wouldn't notice.
you've gotten better with the sword. i'll give you that.
hey, i'm usually about to die. don't feel bad.
you don't have to act like that.
i regret what i did. i was angry and bitter. but i cannot take it back.
there's something evil down that tunnel. something very powerful.
i'll be quick. i won't do anything stupid.
i renounce the gods. what have they ever done for me?
we needed to help you or you'd mess things up.
i didn't want you to die. you owe me too many favors. how am i supposed to collect if you die?
well, i did not miss this place.
maybe it's okay to still be a kid once in a while.
i was beginning to feel better, so i thought i would talk with you a bit. you always manage to annoy me.
you will regret this insult.
it sounds like we've got a lot to talk about.

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense but how do you… art? Like from looking at your art, there’s just so many different fandoms and it’s all fantastic!! How do you not stick to one or feel like you *have* to stick to one? Sorry
Aw Friend! No need to apologize! :D You asked your question plenty politely! That's a really interesting question actually, and I'm fascinated to be asked it! Because I actually do know the kinda thing you're talking about! or at least I have experiences that feel like they line up with what you're asking. A lot of its... growing up? I guess? And not in the sense of like. becoming an adult. but the non-stop process of growing and learning more about life. When I was younger, an actual child, I just Did it. I drew whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I didn't question hoping to a new interest or drawing different fandoms. I just did it. But the older you get the more complicated a lot of things get right? 😔 That was true for me.
I actually spent several years terrified, of moving on. Of leaving old fandoms behind. There was one fandom I actually forced myself not to leave for like... 2 years? Because I was afraid of all the projects I wouldn't complete, all the stories I wouldn't tell, all the art i wouldn't make. But honestly that was a horrible decision? It burnt me out of the specific fandom SO BADLY. Its only been around this last year that I've been able to enjoy things around it again without an overhanging shadow of stress.
I was still scared to fandom hop after that incident tho. Despite having gotten burned by caving to my own fears. It wasn't until I got into Trigun that I actually started to get less scared. A friend I met in that fandom, someone who was older than me, told me that... things have a way of coming back around. If you know the song "Everything Stays" From Adventure time? She said it was like that song. You will inevitably get older. But these things won't be gone. And you can always come back to them :) That clicked in my brain... and it took a bit longer, a bit more time of accepting that fact for me to find peace... but honestly? I kinda have now. At least for this moment in time. I wouldn't be surprised if the fear comes back around again, fear is funny and insidious like that. But I have the tools to beat it now :) The other two things I would mention are these: For starters: this might be obvious? But I'm a hobbyist artist. I don't make money off of my art, I don't sell it, I don't need numbers or clout in order to pay my bills. I'm completely free to do my own thing! Ain't nothing wrong with making a living off of your artwork and if that's the path that you want to walk GO FOR IT. But that path does have its own challenges. Because I don't walk that path, I am free to make whatever I want, without worrying about how it might reflect on my finances. The other thing is...
PERFECTIONISM...
THIS, NASTY LITTLE VILE COCKROACH, WILL RUIN YOUR ART LIFE SO BADLY ITS INSANE. It will ruin your NORMAL life super fast too 😔 it is an insidious little shoulder devil telling you, that you will be happier if you just do it the "perfect" way. IT IS SO SO SO SO SO SO WRONG. That is the key to the door of endless procrastination and broken dreams. SFLJSLF to get less metaphorical about it though: If you're always waiting for the perfect moment to make art for a fandom, to leave a fandom, to join a fandom (in this case i just mean "Get into the thing that interests you" when I say "Fandom") or create literally anything, you will be waiting forever. I know because i have been :') And its made it very hard to draw both in my past, and right now this very day.
Truthfully i'm still working on that one??? I've had some epiphanies recently that have helped a lot with my perfectionism... but I haven't tried drawing since having them? (drowning in the new Honkai Star Rail Patch WHEEZE) So uh. Not sure If I'm over that hill yet xD But yeah, if that's one piece of advice i could give you to take seriously, its don't chase perfection, in ANYTHING. Especially art. It will never be enough for you. And if you're doing it for other people, it will never be enough for them. Art is wonderful and messy, and human. And that is okay.
Its taken me a lot of soul diving and thinking and a lot of help from outside influence and kind people for me to figure this stuff out too. So don't feel bad to ask for help kay? We all need help. A lot xD I'm still not like, the king this stuff either. There are a lot of smaller, more niche, fandoms, I want to draw for, but still haven't, because of my own anxiety and embarrassment. There are fandoms I haven't drawn for because I don't feel like i have the adequate amount of information to be, ""allowed"" too (which is totally a fake standard btw, there is no barrier to entry for when you're "allowed" to draw something). I'm working on these problems every day.
Oh actually one last note: People can influence how hard it is for you to draw for a bunch of fandoms too. If you know you'll get made fun of for drawing something, its hard to draw. If you know you'll get praised for drawing something, sometimes that makes it easier to draw. Both of those things can mess you up BAD. Constantly drawing for other people (when its not a deliberate gift) can make you feel really upset and angry, and dissonant with your artwork.
But it can be equally as hard to realize nobody will share your enthusiasm if you don't draw what they like. That's not a judgement against anybody's friendships, we all got our own interests, and nobody can be 100% Invested in everything their friends enjoy. But It can make it a bit more emotionally challenging sometimes. And it can be hard to like?? Emotionally deal with that? in a way it makes art that you know will perform well, either with your friend group or online, like... "Candy". Its tastes good, but it doesn't give you long term energy (ie there's nothing wrong with it, but its not sustainable as your only form of sustenance) Meanwhile making art that is purely self indulgent is like eating a full and healthy meal. It gives you that long term energy of personal satisfaction, and your enjoyment and happiness also doesn't inherently hinge on whether or not other people appreciate it like you do. Obviously there's no issue if what you genuinely want to draw would also do well online/with your friends!
ANYWAYS, yeah, I'm still maturing and learning and growing with a lot of my opinions and perspectives and emotions on this stuff? Its definitely easier said than done, and while from the outside it looks effortless... I understand why you'd be struggling anon. I hope you can figure it out for yourself too! Best of luck :D also i could go on and on and on about this topic for years because alsjdfaksjdflJSDJGSD ooohhhhhhh boy I have learned and witnessed and thought many a thunk.

Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift (Part IV)
I LOOK IN PEOPLE'S WINDOWS
I had died the tiniest death.
I spied the catch in your breath.
I'm afflicted by the not knowing.
I look in people's windows.
They have their friends over to drink nice wine.
I look in people's windows in case you're at their table.
What if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?
I still ponder what it meant.
I triеd searching faces on streets.
What are the chances you'd be downtown?
Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the "if only".
I look in people's windows like I'm some deranged weirdo.
THE PROPHECY
It's gone again.
I got cursed like Eve got bitten.
Was it punishment?
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.
A greater woman wouldn't beg.
I've been on my knees.
Change the prophecy.
Don't want money, just someone who wants my company,
Let it once be me.
Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy?
Still I dream of him.
I sound like an infant.
A greater woman stays cool.
I howl like a wolf at the moon.
I look unstable.
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table.
A greater woman has faith.
Even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate.
Spending my last coin so someone will tell me it'll be okay.
CASSANDRA
That's where I was when I got the call.
In the streets, there's a raging riot.
Burn the bitch.
When the truth comes out, it's quiet.
They killed *Name* first 'cause she feared the worst
They filled my cell with snakes.
Do you believe me now?
I was in my tower weaving nightmares.
What doesn't kill you makes you aware.
What happens if it becomes who you are?
They set my life in flames.
They knew the whole time that I was onto something.
The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line.
They all said nothing.
Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll.
Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul.
You can mark my words that I said it first.
In the morning warning, no one heard.
That's where I was when I lost it all.
I was onto something.
Not a single word was heard.
PETER
My lost fearless leader.
Is it something I did?
The goddess of timing once found us beguiling.
She said she was trying.
Was she lying?
I didn't wanna come down.
I thought it was just goodbye for now.
You said you were gonna grow up.
Are you still a mind reader?
I've heard great things.
Life was always easier on you than it was on me.
Sometimes it gets me.
We both did the best we could do.
I didn't wanna hang around.
I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn.
I hoped you'd return.
Tell me all that you'd learned.
Love's never lost when perspective is earned.
You said you'd come and get me.
The shelf life of those fantasies has expired.
Forgive me, *Name*, please know that I tried.
I tried to hold on to the days when you were mine.
The woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.
THE BOLTER
She almost drowned when she was six in frigid water.
I can confirm she made a curious child.
Reviled by everyone except her own father.
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless.
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her.
She runs like it's a race.
Her best mates laughed and they nicknamed her "The Bolter".
Oh, we must stop meeting like this.
It always ends up with a town car speeding out the drive one evening.
He'll call her a whore
As she was leaving, it felt like breathing.
All her fuckin' lives flashed before her eyes.
It feels like the time she fell through the ice, then came out alive.
He was a cad, wanted her bad.
She liked the way he tastes.
At first blush, this is fate.
What a charming Saturday.
She just knows she must bolt.
She's been many places with men of many faces.
Hearts are hers for the breakin'.
She's got the best stories.
As she was leaving, it felt like freedom.
ROBIN
Long may you reign.
You're an animal.
You are bloodthirsty
You have no idea.
All this showmanship to keep it for you in sweetness.
Way to go, tiger.
Long may you roar.
You're a just ruler.
You look ridiculous and you have no idea.
Buried down deep and out of your reach, the secret we all vowed to keep.
You got the dragonflies above your bed.
You have a favorite spot on the swing set.
You have no room in your dreams for regrets.
You have no idea.
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean.
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline.
But now we'll curtail your curiosity in sweetness.
THE MANUSCRIPT
Now and then she rereads the manuscript of the entire torrid affair.
I'm not a donor but I'd give you my heart if you needed it.
You're a professional.
No, just a good samaritan.
If the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushin' strollers.
Soon it was over.
She wished she was thirty..
Couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed.
She dated boys who were her own age.
She was so wise beyond her years.
Everything had been above board.
The years passed like scenes of a show.
The Professor said to write what you know.
Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward.
The actors were hitting their marks.
The slow dance was alight with the sparks.
At last, she knew what the agony had been for.
The only thing that's left is the manuscript.
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores.
The story isn't mine anymore.

lyric starters from my current On Repeat playlist (part 3)
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And no one even knew it was really only you
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid
Hit 'em right between the eyes
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
My dear, there are secrets here
If only I could break the chain of disappointments weighing me down
I won't be afraid
It's the fear, and not the ghost, that leaves me haunted
You're an anchor for all the heaviest regrets inside of you
I heard you tellin' lies
I know we're the crooked kind
It ain't a talk of "if," just one of "when" and "how"
So, collect your scars and wear 'em well
They're never truly gone
I carry their blood too
I'm far from where I wanna be
I get lost in my delusional reality
It's kinda hard to think about your own mortality
And I'm hoping for a never ending odyssey
Just give me something good
I've made up my mind over and over
I can't be everything you want me to be
But it's all gone
It's all the same sound and my ears are burning
Never to be moved by the words of a liar
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it thrive
Oh, my precious child, how lucky you are
I got a friend that's losing sleep
I never needed a reason for keeping secrets from myself
I'll wreck this if I have to
Tell me what good would that do
I'd be so good to you
And I don't know how this is wrong
You were a friend of mine
They don't know you like I do
I can never go back home again
Don't you ever tell me I'm not loving you best
And I just need a minute, I just need a breath
It's very hard to drink to my continued success
It's getting better in the worst way
I like to push it and push it until my luck is over
Please just follow me
I wonder how we used to ever go so long without it
I am right beside you
I thought you wanted me
I've been here so very long
I never took you for a trick but sometimes I don't know what you want
I could take it if you need to take this out on someone
I don't know how it got this way
But these problems aside, I think I taught you well
We're here to stay
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
We're still the same
I'll be here to hold your hand
You won't be alone, we're unstoppable
Don't be ‘fraid to show what we're going for
Oh, all you need to know is that we're holding on
Even if we fall, we will rise up
No, we're not gonna stop until we reach it
We all have our burdens, yeah, but we just keep on fighting and we never look back
I know I was born for this
They just don't get it, I think they forget I'm not done 'til I'm on top
I believe we can write our story
We come from different places, but have the same name
We are the broken ones who chose to spark a flame
I've struggled for years and through all the tears I've faced the doubts I hide
I never gave into my fears deep within 'cause I heard my voice inside
Don't ever lose your hope

Hi katydid,
I often read your MHA fanfics involving DFO and the relationship between AFO and First. I really like them. Yandere AFO is so spot on, but I also liked yandere Yoichi. But what about if other characters were yandere? So I want to propose you an idea about yandere Second and yandere Third with Yoichi as darling if you want to write it. You have already made a fic about Yoichi being possessive about Kudo and Bruce [Carved in Stone (Eroded by Water)], so why not the opposite?
Just imagine the heartbreak from Yoichi when he realizes he traded one yandere for two!
My idea invvolves Second and Third becoming yandere for First after rescuing from the bank vault.
At first they don't display yandere tendencies, but do after falling in love with First and fearing constantly his capture from AFO. They try to be much more subtle about it than AFO. The two try to prevent Yoichi from going out of their base with several excuses, until the latter finally understands what's going on. At that point, they try to guilt trip him, but it doesn't work, so they think they have no other choice but lock him up in their base. Their yandere tendencies are now open, but different from AFO, because they hope a slower pace would help him see reason/fall in love with them (translation: develop Stockholm syndrome).
For starters, they give him more space:
1) when Yoichi cried for the first time (due to the pain of betrayal), trey tried to hug him, but he rejected them, so since then they let him cry until he stops and just silently offer handkerchiefs; in fact, they avoid initiating contact unless Yoichi does first (including the sexual kind)
2) no infantilisation: they let him eat, dress, shower...etc by himself; they only stay near to be vigilant of any escape attempt
3) they let him sleep on his own bed, though they will sleep in the same room to be vigilant of any escape attempt; they only sleep with him when he starts "warming up" to them
4) speaking of escape attempt, if he tries to, they might chain him; however, they wouldn't really go further: they would rather deal with multiple escape attemps, no matter how headache inducing, than to put him in inhumane conditions, speaking of which...
5) NO BANK VAULTS OR DARK ENCLOSED SPACES: seeing Yoichi broken in the bank vault really hurt them, so they would rather keep him in large illuminated enclosed spaces, or if not possible, they would avoid leaving him alone so he doesn't suffer from isolation, even using other people of their vigilante organization. If Hikage is with them, he's an accomplice.
Also, if/when he tries to hunger strike, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES THEY FORCE FEED HIM. They make deals instead, like letting him decide which AFO's bases to destroy or letting him shop animal food online so they could give it to animal shelter. Basically they bribe him with the possibility of helping people or animals, even if indirectly. 
They also let him excercise, so he would have more chances to escape AFO if he finds them. Kudo and Bruce exercise with twice effort to protect him and, of course, be able to catch him if he escapes. They won't let him near object he could use as weapons, though.
Kudo and Bruce are still vigilantes, so they wouldn't murder the first person they find to make Yoichi comply, only if they are a threat to his wellbeing. That being said, it doesn't mean there aren't buttons that mustn't be pushed. Yoichi learned the hard way when in anger he compared Kudo and Bruce to AFO. In tranquil fury, they asked Yoichi to take it back. He didn't. They decided to MAKE HIM take it back and apologize (translation: they tickled him until he gave in).
Besides all of these implementations, they also try to bond with him sharing their tragic past/experiences (up to your imagination).
With all of this, Yoichi eventually gets attached to them. He thinks he has no one else and this might be the best he can get without being too smothered. The three begin to sleep in the same bed and might even have sex.
I hope you like this. If you think the actions are not really in character for them, you can change them. My idea is to make them possessive, obsessive and overprotective, but no sadistic, in order to differentiate them from AFO. They still haver more empathy than he could ever have. Nevertheless, if you think I made them too soft, I understand if you want to change that.
If you don't like the prompt, I'm open to being redirected to someone else.
Thanks for your time!
This is a fun idea! I should give Second and Third a turn to be yandere. I'll write something like that one of these days, after I finish up my current projects.
