Since he's constantly traveling it makes sense that he'd eventually catch some kind of illness from somewhere. When he's sick not much really changes for him. He keeps going with his journey and you're the one who has to remind him that he's sick and he needs to rest. He doesn't argue or protest with you when you tell him to rest, "Alright I'll rest but you need to rest with me"
He thought he'd be better after he rested for a little while, but he woke up feeling worse and you could tell even if he didn't say it. Usually, he's a pretty independent partner but he gets super clingy whenever he's sick. The whole day he was laying on your shoulder and falling asleep whenever he was laying on you and whenever you would ask him if he was okay, he would just respond with a weak "Yeah...I'm fine I just need a minute" you ended up convincing him to take a break and stay a few nights in his teapot with you.

Tumblr media
"Y/nnn I think I'm dying" Your boyfriend complained as he put a hand over his forehead. "Venti, you have a cold..." you responded. He's a COMPLAINER. He has a pretty good immune system, so he doesn't get sick often so when he does, he thinks he's dying.
He's so clingy whenever he's sick. You had to go out for your commissions, and he acted like you were leaving him and never coming back. "Y/n!? You're leaving me here all alone when I'm ill like this!?" He said sounding quite offended. "Venti, I'll be back in an hour..." You responded kissing him on the cheek. "The betrayal!!" he said as he looks away from you. You did feel bad having to leave for a little while when he was sick so when you go home you made sure to give him lots of cuddles and kisses.

Whenever he's sick, it doesn't matter how bad he feels or how sick he is. He doesn't let it get in the way of his adeptus duties. You practically had to beg him to get some rest and even then, he assured you he was fine. It wasn't till he passed out from exhaustion and overexerting his sick body was when he finally agreed to rest and let you take care of him.
Even while he was resting and letting you take care of him; he would still deny being as sick as he was. "You don't need to do all this for me, I'm fine" He didn't like asking things of you and he felt guilty having you take care of him, it made him feel weak. You however assured him that you didn't mind at all and wanted to make sure he was okay. After you assured him, he felt a little better when you assured him, but it still made him feel weak and like he couldn't take care of himself.
๐‘ฒ๐’‚๐’›๐’–๐’‰๐’‚
Tumblr media
Whenever he's sick, he usually just sleeps it off and spends most of his time resting. You and Kazuha had been on Beidou's ship for a week or so and your boyfriend started to feel sick last night. You woke up with him laying on your check looking extremely pale. You felt his forehead and he was burning up. You left him alone and let him sleep and he slept half of the day and when he woke up, he woke up with a pounding headache.
He went to go find you and you were sitting on the ship looking out at the ocean. He sat next to you and laid on your shoulder. "Still not feeling well?" you said as you wrapped your arm around him. He shook his head "No.." he mumbled. You frowned and nuzzled your face into his hair. "You should go back to sleep..." you said softly. He nodded and fell asleep on your shoulder.
๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’Š๐’›๐’๐’–
Tumblr media
He doesn't get sick often so when he does, he usually just takes some time off of work and spends some time at home with his beloved s/o. He drinks a lot of tea to help his throat and he sleeps most of the day until he's feeling better. "I'm gonna go back to bed, babe I love you"
He's pretty normal when he's sick, he's not a big complainer and he can take care of himself for the most part. "No no it's okay I can make dinner, love don't worry" He's back to normal within in a few days and as soon as he feels better, he returns to work.
๐‘พ๐’‚๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“๐’†๐’“
Tumblr media
Another complainer, He's so grumpy and whiny whenever he's sick. "Y/n..My head hurts..." He's really distant and he mostly just stays in your shared room while he's sick. He enjoys your company of course even if he doesn't admit it, but he doesn't want to see anyone else.
He puts everything he's doing on pause when he's sick. Ever since he left the fatui he's been working on taking care of himself more, and even if he is really grumpy and whiny when he's sick, there is a really gentle and clingy side of him when he's sick. "Y/n..do you wanna go take a nap?"

Tumblr media
You gnaw on your cheek as you read over the letter. Final warning. You really didn't think much of the first five but that word catches your worry; litigation.ย  ย 
Your mother grunts and clicks her pen, dropping it as she curses under her breath. She tosses the crossword book away from the chair. For all your life, you remember her working on her puzzles. Now, she can hardly hold pen steady enough to put in a single clue. ย 
"Mom, you want another coke before I head out?" You ask. ย 
"Where are you 'headed out' to?" She scowls. ย 
"Just outside. Try to figure out the mower." ย 
"Piece of shit," she sneers and for a moment, you're not sure if she means the machine or you. ย 
"So..." ย 
"Just go," she snips. ย 
You purse your lips around the cut of her tone. You leave her in her recliner and you go down the hallway to the back door. You shove your feet into your stained vans and let yourself gently outside. ย 
You come down the steps and cross the overgrown grass to the garage. You prop the door open with an old paint can and drag put the mower. You haul it over to the little patch of pavement by the house as the sunlight raises beads of sweat across your forehead. ย 
You shade your eyes and squint. You don't get the thing. It's not even motorized, it just started catching. You can't push it hard enough to make it go. It only bounces uselessly across the ground.ย ย 
You squat and put it on its side. You examine the blades, nervous to dig between the mulching teeth. You grab a stick and poke around. It breaks and you rip it out. ย 
"Dang it," you whisper. ย 
You stand up. It's too hot to think. As much as you miss the sunshine in the grim winters, the heat is less than welcome.ย  ย 
"Hey, excuse me," a voice startles you. You ignore it, thinking maybe it's just the neighbours on the other side of the fence. "Um, miss?" ย 
You turn towards the voice and find a man peeking through the loose slat in the fence. You sigh. Yeah,ย  ย 
that needs to be fixed too. ย 
You stare dumbly. You recognise the man. It takes a few seconds to remember where you saw him. He was with the realtor. You hadn't see much yet, not that you ventured outside often. The sign changed to sold and that was that. ย 
"Hi, uh, so this," he touches the plank, swiveling it on the hanging nail.
You nod and go to the edge of the patch of pavement but no further. You nibble your lip and search for something to say. Talking to mom is easy, you know what to expect, but strangers are different.ย  ย 
"Gonna fix it," you assure him flatly. ย 
"Yeah, well, I was actually thinking, I'm just doing a few touch ups right now and I could spare a couple nails or two." ย 
You tilt your head and bring your hands together, mashing your palms anxiously, "it's rotted." ย 
He wiggles the wood and little slivers fall away. He hums disappointed, "sure is." He smiles as his blue eyes shine in the sunlight, "no problem then. I'm sure I can find something at the hardware store." ย 
You hesitate. You should mention you can afford even half a plank. Grandma left you the house and enough to cover property taxes, but mom's monthly cheques are already stretched thin. If he doesn't ask, you won't offer. ย 
"Steve," he stretches his arm through the opening. ย 
You look at his hand. Your stomach flip flops. You don't want to be rude as much as you don't want to touch this strange man. Well, no use in making another enemy around here. ย 
You lift your feet as you trudge through the high grass. As you near, the sweat slakes down your back. You gently shake his hand, just for a second, and pull back. ย 
"And your name? Neighbour?"ย 
You stare at the collar of his grey tee shirt and eke your name out.ย 
โ€œIs it just you over here?โ€ He asks.ย 
You shake your head. You bend your arm to pick at your sleeve. You donโ€™t mind introductions but youโ€™re not much for conversation. You donโ€™t need him prying into things. If anyone really saw inside those walls, theyโ€™d only feel bad for you. Youโ€™d rather their apathy.ย 
โ€œOh, you got kids? A husband?โ€ย 
You wince. Itโ€™s almost a flattering assumption yet a reminder of everything you donโ€™t have. Youโ€™re not old enough to really think about all that anyway.ย 
You glance back at the side of the house. You should hose that down and get rid of the mildew. Another tick on the endless list.ย 
โ€œMom,โ€ you say.ย 
โ€œAh, makes sense. You in school?โ€ย 
You shake your head again. Heโ€™s quiet. You sway listlessly.ย 
โ€œAnyway...โ€ he says.ย 
You put your head down and back away. You go back to the mower, bending down to fiddle with it again. You could see if anyone would lend you one but that means asking and as much as the neighbourhood paints itself in friendly smiles, they arenโ€™t genuine. The letter on the kitchen table is proof of that.ย 
โ€œNot working?โ€ The man, Steve asks. You cringe and stand up. Heโ€™s still there.ย 
You shrug as you look at him. You turn back to the mower and lift it by the handles. You try to ignore the nosy neighbour and line it up with the grass. You push and it doesnโ€™t move easy. You grunt and it rolls over the grass. You think maybe itโ€™s working but as you turn, you notice the grass stands back up, only slightly bent.ย 
โ€œYou know, I got a nice electric one. Isnโ€™t here yet but I can bring it tomorrow on the truck,โ€ he offers, โ€œI wouldnโ€™t mind doing a once over, if you need.โ€ย 
You huff and push the mower over.ย 
โ€œCanโ€™t pay you,โ€ you stomp back towards the house.ย 
โ€œI didnโ€™t say anything about money,โ€ he chimes.ย 
You stop by the steps and cross your arms. You look at him, โ€œtoo much.โ€ย 
โ€œWell, if you change your mind, you can just come knock on my door,โ€ he says.ย 
You nod and spin around again. You climb the steps, fighting to keep your steps even. You want to run inside and hide but you donโ€™t want him to see how desperate you are to get away.ย 
The screen door snaps shut behind you. You kick off your shoes and go down the hall. Your mother huffs from her recliner.ย 
โ€œYou figure it out?โ€ She asks.ย 
โ€œNo,โ€ you flop onto the couch.ย 
โ€œKnew ya wouldnโ€™t,โ€ she snorts as she stares out the window. โ€œManโ€™s back. Musta bought the place.โ€ย 
โ€œUh, yeah,โ€ you lean back, pulling the collar of your shirt over your face to sop up the sweat. โ€œItโ€™s hot.โ€ย 
โ€œNah, youโ€™re just whiny,โ€ she snickers.ย 
You donโ€™t respond. You know better than that. You let her have her truth. Whatever she thinks of you, you canโ€™t disprove. The world is she says it is.ย 
๐Ÿ 
Your bedroom window shines yellow with the noon sun. The heat beams down on the folding table, warming your hands as you scratch charcoal onto thick paper. You still have grass stains on your fingers from another fruitless attempt at fixing the mower. Another day and you expect another letter isnโ€™t far behind.ย 
As you focus on the lines and curves left by the pencil, your anxiety subsides. Drawing is the only thing that helps you forget. Really forget. You donโ€™t think about the house or the lawn or the HOA or your mom. Itโ€™s just you and the pencil.ย 
You lean your forehead in your hand as you cross hatch the shadows. The chirping birds and the soft breeze deepen your trance. The world around you is distant and dim. Youโ€™re only awoken but the sudden and unfamiliar โ€˜ding dongโ€™.ย 
You sit up. It takes a moment before you realise what it was. The doorbell? No one ever rings it. No, even Marge from the HOA waits until you come out to get the mail to accost you.ย 
You put the pencil down and get up. You go out and peek down the hallway. You creep along and stop at the doorway to the front room. You mom sniffs and wipes her eyes. She must have fallen asleep in her chair.ย 
โ€œWho is it?โ€ She snarls with grogginess in her throat.ย 
โ€œI donโ€™t know,โ€ you go to the door and pull the curtain away from the long window beside it. You peek out at the figure on the porch and quickly hide behind the fabric. Too late. โ€œItโ€™s... the neighbour. I think he saw me.โ€ย 
โ€œErgh, donโ€™t be stupid, girlie,โ€ your mother barks, โ€œhelp me up.โ€ย 
โ€œOh, uh, okay.โ€ย 
You go to her and offer your hand. You get her to her feet. She slightly hunched and slow but she makes her way to the door. She pauses and turns to the mirror above the little bench against the wall. She tidies her hair and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.ย 
She leans on the door as she grips the handle. She opens it and the man from next door, Steve, greets her with a grin.ย 
โ€œHello?โ€ She sweetens her tone.ย 
โ€œHello, miss, sorry to bother you,โ€ he says, โ€œI just moved in next door and Iโ€™m getting settled in. I was just about to do some lawn work and I thought maybe I might offer to do yours? Itโ€™s no trouble, I just thought Iโ€™d offer.โ€ย 
โ€œOh, what a honey you are,โ€ she preens, โ€œof course, that would be lovely of you. My daughter,โ€ she sighs and shakes her head, โ€œIโ€™ve been nagging her for weeks to get it done.โ€ย 
โ€œReally, itโ€™s not a bother,โ€ he assures her, โ€œIโ€™m Steve by the way.โ€ย 
His smile is just as charming as his introduction.ย 
โ€œHolly,โ€ your mother returns, โ€œIโ€™ll make you some lemonade for your trouble. Itโ€™s a hot one, isnโ€™t it?โ€ย 
โ€œSounds good,โ€ he agrees, โ€œIโ€™ll try not to make too much noise.โ€ย 
You peek out from behind your mother. Steveโ€™s eyes meet yours for an instant before she blocks her out, no doubt eager to hide the state of the house from him. You back up as she turns to you. ย 
โ€œWhatโ€™re you doing hanging on like a rodent?โ€ She hisses, โ€œgo make some lemonade.โ€ย

God Only Knows
Everyone knows AU, but Wes doesn't know that everyone knows, and neither does Danny, because even though everyone knows, everyone also knows better than to acknowledge it.
For the prompts:
Everyone knows the connection between Danny Fenton and Phantom. To keep their town's hero safe, everyone pretends to be oblivious. Only this one kid doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. [From @vigilant-insomniac], and It's like Santa, the students of Casper High think. You know he's fake, just your parents playing pretend, and if Danny wants to play human, well. Who are they to ruin the fantasy? [From @uniasus]
This is a take on Wes I've never written before, despite having written quite a few Wes fics, and it was a lot of fun, I hope you like it : )
Read also on AO3
[Warnings for mentioned injuries, threats, and implied bullying]
Danny Fenton was dead. Everyone knew that.
After an accident in his parents' lab, he'd been rushed to the hospital and declared dead on arrival. He had an obituary in the paper, a grave. His death had even been announced over Casper High's PA system, and there had been a moment of silence, and all the science classes had done lessons on lab safety so that what had happened to him might not happen to anyone else.
Then, a couple weeks later, Danny Fenton was back at school like nothing had happened. Hanging out with his loser friends, going to classes, eating at Nasty Burger. Like he was still a regular kid. Except that beakers slipped through his fingers, and he kept walking through vending machines, and falling through the floor. Sometimes all or part of him would turn invisible, or he'd start floating a few inches off the floor and his friends had to pull him back down to earth.
Every time, he would look around in a panic, like he was hoping no one saw, and every time, those who had seen pretended they hadn't. It was Santa Claus, the Casper students reasoned. You knew he was fake, just your parents playing pretend, but it made them happy when you pretended with them. If Danny wanted to play human, well... who were they to ruin the fantasy.
Besides, no one wanted to be the one to remind him that he'd died.
Then the school was attacked by a ghost, and another ghost appeared to stop her. It was the ghost of a 14-year-old boy, wearing a Fenton Works jumpsuit. There was no mistaking that Danny Fenton, the dead kid attending their school, was also the dead kid protecting it.
But after a couple of days, it was clear that Danny himself still thought it was a secret, so everyone else silently agreed to let him keep thinking that. He'd been through a lot, and they didn't need to make it harder on him. Even Dash never brought it upโ€”and he kept bullying Danny, for being week and unpopular, just to keep up the illusion that nothing had changed.
When out-of-towners started poking around, asking questions, everyone kept the secret. The strangers were clearly ill-intentioned, wanting to capture Danny for some reward. Even if he was deluding himself about still being alive, Danny was a good kid who protected the town. The least the locals could do as thanks was act oblivious to keep him safe. They were used to pretending, anyway.
Except this one kid didn't seem to have gotten the memo.
"Uh, yeah, I have some information on the ghost!" Wes called out to the Guys in White nosing around their school.
Kwan grabbed him, covering his mouth and dragging him around the corner before the Guys in White could see who'd called out to them. He felt something slimy on the palm of his hand and let go of Wes with a noise of disgust.
"What the hell!" Wes demanded.
"Did you just lick me?" Kwan asked, wiping his hand off on his jeans. "Gross!"
"Dude, you dragged me down the hallway! What gives."
"You were gonna spill to the Guys in White. You can't do that!"
"Just 'cause no one around here believes me, I'm just supposed to give up?" Wes frowned, crossing his skinny, freckled arms over his chest. "Somebody has to know that Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom, I mean come on, it's obvious!"
"But if you tell the Guys in White, even if they don't believe you, they'll investigate him, and who knows what they'll do," Kwan pointed out. "Hasn't Danny been through enough? I mean," Kwan glanced around and lowered his voice before adding, "he died. Do you really want to make things harder on him after that? Don't you think he deserves a break?"
"Exactly," Wes hissed. "He died. He's a ghost. Ghosts are badโ€”and why are we whispering?" he added at a normal volume.
"You know that's not true," Kwan argued, keeping his voice low, despite Wes' complaint. "Phantom protects us."
"From ghosts that come through a portal he opened!"
Kwan flinched. Saying Danny had opened the portal was kind of misrepresenting the reality of the situation. Sam and Tucker had reluctantly told the story of Danny's death in the weeks he was gone, and it had been spread around pretty thoroughly before he came back. Everyone at school knew that he'd stepped into that portal and been completely fried. The portal turning on wasn't the part most people focused on when it was always immediately followed by 'while Danny was inside it'.
"I don't think you can blame him for that," Kwan said. "It was an accident."
"One that has yet to be corrected," Wes replied, his anger not fading. "Him fighting the ghosts doesn't stop them from attacking. If he really wanted to protect the town, he'd destroy the portal and stay in the Ghost Zone."
"What about the Fentons?"
"Who cares if the Fentons lose their precious portal when it's endangering thousands of lives!?"
"And you don't care if they lose their son, either?" Kwan demanded.
"So you do believe me!"
"You're a dick, Weston." He'd never called anyone a dick before in his life, but it seemed to apply here. "I don't care what you think, but if you try to hawk your theories on any of the ghost hunters around town, I'll make you regret it, and I'll bring friends, too. I've got a lot of them."
To drive home his point, Kwan shoved Wes against the lockers and glared before walking away. Gosh, that was so aggressive. Kwan hoped it had been okay. He didn't like doing itโ€”he didn't even know if his face could hold that expression long enough to intimidate anyoneโ€”but if it kept Danny safe, that was what mattered.
At least Dash would probably be proud of him for it. Dash was always saying he needed to be more assertive to people couldn't push him around. Metaphorically, of course. Literally, Kwan was six feet tall and 190 pounds, even as a freshman, so there weren't many people who could physically push him around as it was. He didn't join the football team for no reason.
Thankfully, it did seem to work. Kwan had his friendsโ€”and he did indeed have a lot of friends, since he was a very friendly and likable guyโ€”keep an eye on Wes until the outside ghost hunters declared the hunt a bust and skipped town. He didn't know whether Wes had noticed or not, but either way, he hadn't tried to expose Danny to them again.
Too bad that didn't last. A few weeks later, Wes went directly to the Fentons.
"No one else will believe me, but your son is a ghost!" Wes told them. "He's Danny Phantom!"
Jack and Maddie both froze. They knew.
They knew, and they had both agreed to pretend they didn't. They shot at Phantom, always aiming a mile wide, and shouted threats, and loudly declared their hatred for ghosts. They knew how it made Danny feel, but they also knew he still loved them. They were willing to do whatever it took to keep their son around, and they feared that if he were ever to tell them he was a ghost, it would be because he was moving on and they'd never see him again.
"Why... that's ridiculous, my boy!" Jack declared, a slight waver in his booming voice. "Our son can't be a ghost!"
"But it's true!" Wes insisted.
"Don't be silly!" Maddie cut him off before he could start listing evidence. She knew all the evidence. "I think we'd know if there was a ghost living under our own roof."
"Butโ€”"
"You should keep your utterly ridiculous theories to yourself, because you sound absurd," Maddie said. "Now, if you don't mind, my husband and I have very important ghost hunting to get to. Don't you have homework to do or something?"
Wes growled and clenched his fists in frustration but left them alone nonetheless. Clearly, he wasn't getting anywhere with him. And he wasn't getting anywhere at school, to the point where Danny had stopped getting anxious and had started openly antagonizing him about it. Didn't anyone else in Amity Park have eyes, he wondered.
But in truth, he was the one not seeing, because he didn't see that everyone else was on the same page about Danny being a ghost, and he was the one being left behind.
"Hey, Wes-toenail!"
Wes rolled his eyes as Dash stormed up to him with a disappointed-looking Kwan in tow.
"Jazz Fenton told Sam Manson, who told Kwan, who told me, that you tried to tell Fenton's parents about your stupid conspiracy theory!" Dash sneered at him.
"It's not a conspiracy theory," Wes said. "There would have to be more than just one person involved for it to be a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy theory would be like if I claimed everyone in town was working together to hide the fact that Fenton is Phantom," he was too busy rolling his eyes again to notice the look Kwan and Dash gave each other, "but you're not, you're all just a bunch of sheep."
"And you're a... a..." Dash struggled, grasping around his thick head for a comeback.
"A blackberry bramble!" Kwan finished for him.
"A blackberry bramble!" Dash repeated firmly, then turned to Kwan with a confused look. "A blackberry bramble?" he repeated again, this time questioningly.
"Prickly, invasive, and impossible to get rid of," Kwan explained. "Sam and I also talked about her garden."
"Oh, that's nice," Dash then turned back to Wes, hardened his expression and said. "You're like a blackberry bramble, and no one wants you around."
Wes raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Why do you even care? I thought you hated Fenton."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I want him dead again," Dash pointed out. "His parents are ghost hunters, and they're always shooting at Phantom. What do you think they might do to Danny if they actually believed your bullshit theory?"
"Get rid of him! Because he's a ghost! You know, the creatures constantly attacking our town and putting us all in danger?"
"The fact that you actually seem to believe that is why nobody at school likes you," Dash told him plainly. "That, and your general annoyingness."
"Why do you all care so much about protecting a loser like Danny Fenton?!" Wes shouted, loudly enough that it attracted the attention of everyone else in the hallway not already listening, and he threw his hands in the air in exasperation. "So he died, so what? It's the fact that he's still around that's the problem. Everyone seems to agree that they want ghosts gone until I bring up Phantom. A ghost is a ghost is a ghost, and all ghosts are dangerous, even the quote-unquote 'good ones.'"
He was breathing heavily when he finished his outburst, and suddenly aware of at least a dozen sets of eyes on him.
"That's enough, Wes," Kwan said after a beat. "Danny hasn't done anything to you, or anyone, and it's not fair for you to keep doing this, trying to expose him or... or whatever it is you're trying to do. You'd better cut it out. If this is a joke, no one's laughing, and if you're serious, then you're trying to take a real person away from his friends and family because of your own biases, and that's messed up, dude."
"Yeah!" someone down the hallway piped up. Micah, Wes thought her name was. She'd spit on his shoes when he tried to convince her of his theory.
"Enough is enough!" her friend agreed.
"You lay off Danny, he's already been through it this year already!"
Soon enough, every student in the hallway was chiming in their agreement, and Wes scanned the crowd, mouth agape, offended and outraged. When he turned back to Dash and Kwan, they both wore hard expressions. It looked weird on Kwan's usually jovial face, but it was clear they meant business.
"Whatever," Wes grumbled. He grabbed his math book out of his locker and slammed the door shut with a metallic bang. "You've made your point. I'll stop."
"Will you actually?" Dash insisted, raising a skeptical brow. "Or are you just saying that to get us off your back?"
"I will," Wes confirmed. "I don't need the entire football team and then some making my life a living hell. As long as Fenton keeps his distance from me, I'll do the same for him."
The warning was passed from Kwan, to Sam, to Danny, and in short order, Danny and Wes started avoiding each other. They barely so much as crossed paths anymore. Wes, begrudgingly, stopped trying to expose Danny, and Danny stopped teasing him for his failures, and it finally seemed like Amity Park's ghostly hero could go on protecting the town in peace.
But things weren't always what they seemed, and one day, there was a fight. At first, it seemed like a standard ghost fight, Danny Phantom versus some vampire-looking asshole.
Based on the banter, it sounded like this wasn't their first encounter with each other, so the civilians of Amity Park tried their best to stay out of the way and let Danny do his thing. Parents calling their kids inside, the group of teens passing by ducked into the alley, the one riding the opposite way on his skateboard crossed the street to hide with them, safety in numbers and all that.
Then the tide of battle turned, and all of the sudden, Danny was losing, badly. The enemy ghost had started coming at him with powerful blasts that broke through his defenses and left him reeling. Danny howled as he hit the street, hard, and in a flash of white light, his appearance changed from hero to dweeb, and regular old Danny Fenton laid unconscious in the road.
"You can never truly best me, Daniel," the enemy ghost said, but he didn't have time to monologue.
The teens in the alleyway had a plan, and they were coming to the rescue.
Sam Manson somersaulted into the street, Fenton Wrist Rayโ„ข already armed and at the ready, and she laid down cover fire at the enemy ghost while Dash and Kwan ran out to grab Danny and drag him to the alleyway where they'd been taking cover.
"Guess you can't tell me I'm crazy now," Wes said, smirking triumphantly as the two jocks put Danny down gently on the ground, propping his head up on Paulina's folded up jacket. "We all saw him turn into Fenton, that's proof."
"Will you shut up, Wes?" Paulina snapped while Star checked Danny over, trying to assess his injuries. "We knew that already."
"What do you mean you knew?"
"Everyone knew, the whole time," Paulina reiterated with a derogatory scowl. "It's like, super obvious."
"Then why did you all treat me like I was crazy?" Wes demanded.
"Because you are," Star said. "Not 'cause you think he's a ghostโ€”because, like, duhโ€”but 'cause you kept trying to tell everyone. Some things should stay secret you moron."
"Why you even wanted to constantly remind the dead kid that he's dead, I'll never know," Paulina added.
"Plus, you constantly trying to expose him was putting him in danger," Kwan said. "Phantom is a hero, and you were trying to get him killed."
"He's already dead!"
"Yeah, we know," Sam jeered at him as she returned to their cover. "Everyone knows. But you're the only person in the whole town who's being a dick about it!"
"Hey, that's the same thing I told him a couple months ago!" Kwan told her, delighted. "I never called someone a dick before, but I did, 'cause he was being one."
"Good job calling him out, Kwan," Sam said, sounding genuinely satisfied. "It's good to hear that you're being more assertive and standing up for yourself and others."
"That's what I said, too!" Dash noted. "God, it's so weird that I actually agree with you on stuff now."
"Can we get back to the fact that you guys all knew the whole time that Fenton was a ghost and nobody thought to clue me in?" Wes said, looking around at the rest of them incredulously.
"Clue you in the Danny was a ghost?" Sam asked sardonically. "I thought you knew."
"No, that it was apparently common knowledge and you all just felt like making a fool out of me!"
"You wouldn't have looked like a fool if you'd just kept your fool mouth shut," Paulina pointed out.
"Youโ€”"
Wes was cut off when Danny groaned into wakefulness and everyone's attention instantly snapped to the ghost boy.
"Mn... ugh," Danny took a shaky breath and blinked his eyes open, quickly widening in shock when he realized how many people were leaning over him. "Uh... hello, citizens," he said, putting on a voice in the hopes they wouldn't recognize them. "Please, step back and stay away from theโ€”"
"Danny," Sam said, "You changed."
"Huh?" He looked down at his hand and gasped. "I mean, I have an explanation for this. I was uh... being overshadowed?"
"It's okay, dude," Kwan told him. "We're not going to tell anyone. This'll be our little secret. Right, Wes?"
They all looked pointedly at the redhead, who opened his mouth to protest, and closed it again, his shoulders slumping in defeat.
"Yeah, okay," he relented, though his left eyebrow was nevertheless twitching in irritation. "Our secret."
"We just wanted to get you out of the line of fire before Plasmius took things too far," Sam told him. "You know I've always got your back."
"Thanks," Danny said. "All of you."
They gave him their smiles and their 'you're welcome's while Wes griped and grumbled and left the alleyway with his bike to finish riding home. Plasmius had flown off shortly after Sam started shooting at him. He was content in his victory over Phantom, and didn't feel the need to fight a powerless child like her, so the coast was clear for the rest of them to leave as well.
Sam said goodbye to Kwan so she could walk Danny home while the rest of them resumed their walk to the mall. Sam had been planning to split off before they got their anyway, she was just taking the opportunity to chat with themโ€”mostly Kwan, whom she'd accidentally befriended during Danny's brief stint of popularity earlier in the year (his 'goth' poetry was awful, but they'd bonded over gardening and a love of animals)โ€”since her house was on the way.
"You gonna be okay, Danny?" she asked, as they walked arm in arm so she could catch him if he stumbled. "You don't have a concussion, do you?"
"Maybe?" Danny said, squinting uncertainly. He shrugged. "I'll be fine. I always am. I'm still just amazed how lucky it was that the A-listers and Wes, of all people, were willing to keep my secret. It's gonna be all over the school, tomorrow, isn't it?"
"Oh, I don't know," Sam said vaguely. "Kwan's a decent guy, at least. I'm pretty sure they'll keep their word."
Danny scoffed in disbelief, but didn't voice an argument. The rest of the way to Fenton Works, the chattered about whatever topics came to mind, just to keep Danny from falling asleep in case he did have a concussion, and when Sam dropped him off at home, she held off her mournful expression until she had turned away so Danny didn't have to see it.

M!Crush x F!Reader: Subtle (NSFW)
18+ ONLY! MINORS DO NOT INTERACT!
THEME: Smut
WARNING(s): Vibrator, Public Play, Public Orgasm, Rough Sex, PiV Sex, Unprotected Sex, Cum, Squirting, Post Orgasm Torture
This was a request, but I somehow lost the ask. So whoever's anon this was, here ya go!
It felt like roses. Too bad you couldn't react, though. Not outwardly, at least. On the inside, you were in heaven. You and C/N were hanging out with a few of C/N's friends, so he of course took this as an opportunity to play with those vibrating panties he bought you.
"You good, Y/N?" Josh asked, noticing how "away" you were. "Y/N?"
"Huh?" you gasped, frantically trying to make it look like everything was normal and nothing at all was out of the ordinary.
"Yeah, babe." C/N chimed in, smirking ever so slightly. "You good?"
"Oh...yeah. I'm fine. I'm just- mmm- just tired." you lied.
You shot your boyfriend a piercing glare, to which his smirk grew more sinful.
"See, babe." he said, very subtly pressing a button on the remote in his pocket to increase the intensity. "This is what happens when you stay up until 3AM watching TikToks."
You were trying your damndest. You almost couldn't handle it. God, what would Josh and Eric think if you had an orgasm right here in front of them? They'd think you were insane and would never want to associate with you again. You looked at C/N, silently begging him with your eyes to turn down the intensity. He was just being mean at this point.
A few more hours passed. These hours were filled with talking, laughing, video games, and your boyfriend randomly stopping and starting the vibrator. How the hell could his friends not hear it buzzing around down there? Perhaps their gamer rage was too loud for them to notice. Either way, you couldn't take it anymore. You needed to either get off now, or get home so C/N could fuck your brains out. Feigning illness was cliche, but you needed an out.
"Babe, I don't feel good." you whined, leaning against the wall, trying so hard to not climax.
C/N looked at you with a raised eyebrow. He knew exactly what you were trying to do and how close you were.
"Aw, do you need me to take you home, love?" he played along with your fake affliction, turning off the vibrator.
"I think so."
He walked over to you and pressed the back of his hand to your forehead to "check your temperature".
"You're a little warm." he said. "We're gonna head out, guys. Y/N's not feeling well."
They said their goodbyes and whatnot before C/N took you by the hand and walked you out to the car. To make it look more believable, you pretended to be fatigued by grabbing onto his arm and leaning on him. Immediately after getting in the car, the facade was dropped.
"Couldn't handle it, huh?" he teased you, turning the car on.
"I didn't want to cum in front of your friends!" you quipped back.
"They were so deep in Warzone, babe. They wouldn't have noticed if you squirted right on Eric's bed."
"Ew."
"Oh don't act like you didn't like it, love. You were so close to cumming so many times that I could practically feel your legs shaking."
Your face went beet red. C/N, with his eyes focused on the road, noticed this and laughed.
"You're so cute when I get you all worked up." he grabbed your hand and kissed the back of it.
He turned the vibrator back on, keeping it on for the duration of the drive home. Once again, roses. It was just the two of you in the car, so you didn't have to hide it anymore.
"Ohhh..." you breathed in pleasure. "goddddd..."
Driving over all those speed bumps was only increasing the pleasure. With his arm outstretched and his hand on the wheel, you couldn't help but notice his muscles. Those sexy fucking muscles. You wished they were holding you against the wall or down on the bed right now.
"Yeah you think it feels good now, babe." C/N said pompously. "I can't wait to hear you scream my name when we get home."
God, even hearing him talk was getting you closer to the edge. His voice was so smooth, so saucy. If butter could speak, it would have his voice.
"Fuck..." you panted.
Another speed bump. This one made your legs quiver.
"You want to cum so bad, baby." C/N observed in a low-toned voice. "I can see it."
"Then fucking let me cum!" you snapped.
"Whoa!" he snapped back at you, pulling into the driveway. "You better watch the attitude or I'm gonna edge you into next week, you little brat."
You rolled your eyes, but you secretly loved when he was dominant like this. You were so goddamn close. You were barely hanging on by a thread. And he was enjoying every second of the torture he was inflicting on you.
"You want to cum? Fine." he said. "But as soon as we get inside, princess, you better cancel everything you've got going on tomorrow because you won't be able to walk."
Finally, you broke. His words produced an intense, powerful orgasm. You whimpered as your legs shook and your eyes rolled back into your head. After a little bit of aftershock, C/N turned off the vibrator, allowing you to breathe for a second.
"You have no idea what you just did, pretty girl." he smirked.
After you both got inside and he led you by the hand to the bedroom, you felt his energy shift. Dom mode was activated. His lips violently attacked yours and he couldn't keep his hands off of your body. You moaned into his mouth as your hands ran through his hair.
"Oh, baby." he breathed. "I'm about to fuck you so good you can't see straight. Strip."
You did as you were told and undressed. He was eager. Eager enough to unhook your bra with his teeth. Once you were completely naked, he pushed you down onto the bed and got on top of you, attacking your neck with his mouth. He left dark hickeys all over your neck as his hands played with your breasts. He was not gentle at all, slapping them around and squeezing them hard enough to leave marks around your nipples. You loved it, especially when he took them in his mouth. His teeth scraping against your nipples felt incredible. It hurt, but in the best way. You couldn't help but moan here and there as his mouth assaulted you.
"I can't believe you're all mine." he said, his hot breath on your skin giving you goosebumps. "My own sexy little fucktoy."
He slid his boxers off and you watched his erection spring free. He was practically throbbing, he was so hard.
"Ride me, princess." he commanded, positioning himself to where you could do so. "Reverse cowgirl."
He wasn't on his back. He was sitting up, leaning his back against the headboard. You got yourself to where you could lower yourself down onto his cock with your back turned to him. Upon feeling him enter you, you moaned again for him. His dick was magical. When you first started having sex with him, you expected to have to fake one or two orgasms every now and then, but your boyfriend had never failed to make you cum.
"That's it, babygirl. Let me stare at your ass while I fuck you."
He had his hands on your hips, rapidly maneuvering them back and forth. As he did so, you started to bounce. It felt amazing. He gave your ass a few sharp smacks, which only added to the pleasure.
"Ohhhh fuuuuck!" you moaned. "C/N!"
"That's right, kitten." he said between his own moans. "You belong to C/N and C/N only. No one else can make your pussy feel this good."
He was right. He wasn't your first, but holy hell, nobody else was able to make you feel the way he made you feel. The day he stopped being able to make you cum would be the day the world stopped turning. With each and every thrust of his cock inside you, you felt all of the negative energy leave you.
"Lean back for me, baby."
You leaned back against his chest, allowing him to thrust upward into you. His cock was brushing your g-spot, which made your eyes roll back. It was ecstasy.
"Your pussy's so fucking wet." he said through clenched teeth. "Feels so good on my cock."
He used his hand to rub circles on your clit, which made you whimper. Everything just felt so fucking good. The combination of his dick pounding into you, your g-spot being touched, and him fingering your clit was beyond belief.
"Yeah," he grunted. "feels good, doesn't it, baby?"
"Mmmm yes!" you could hardly contain yourself.
You never wanted it to end. You were in heaven right now. Your toes curled as you knew you were starting to get close to your high. If he had been fucking you any harder, you would have already come all over his cock.
"Oh god fuck!" you wailed as your body shook.
"Cumming already, princess?" your boyfriend teased, his husky groans and grunts getting deeper and more primal. "Cum for me. Cum for me, baby. Cum all over me."
And just like that, you were screaming. You swear to god you went deaf for a second as you came undone, your juices gushing and spraying everywhere. Your body was so tense. But C/N wasn't done yet. He wasn't gonna stop until he was finished. He continued to pound into you, giving you some painful aftershock. It hurt, but it felt amazing. You couldn't stop twitching, which was making it so much better for him. After a few more big thrusts, his cock started to twitch inside you, signaling to you that he was about there.
"Fuck, baby." he gasped. "Oh fuck...I'm gonna cum...I'm gonna fucking cum, baby!"
Then he let go with a series of deep grunts. You felt his hot liquid shoot into you as he pulsated inside you. After you both took a second to catch your breath and come down, you rolled to his side as he pulled out, his milky cum leaking out of your hole.
"Holy fuck, babe!" he smiled, his face flushed and his eyes glazed over. "I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did."
"It was amazing, baby." you responded, giving him a sweet kiss on the lips.
"I've never loved anyone as much as I love you, Y/N. You drive me fucking insane with how incredible you are."
You blushed as he kissed your cheek, pulling you into him to cuddle. With your head on his chest and his arms wrapped around you, you wanted to stay like this forever. Everything was perfect.

Hello my lovely writer,
I love your work but wasn't brave enough to write you, until today =) even if I don't know if you're still accepting requests I give it a try, in hope that you like to write a story with your wonderful words. Currently I'm sick as a dog and in need of some care taking Frank...
Frank and her are dating for some time now, but she has problems with trusting him completely because of her last abusive relationship. So she didn't tell him that she is chronical ill and often suffers from pulmonary infections and tachycardia always when she feels under the weather or sick she tells him she is busy so they can't meet. When she's falling deathly sick with a very high fever she tells him to raincheck their date. Frank gets suspicious and tries not to think of her cheating with him. When he doesn't hear from her for days and she doesn't answer his texts and phone calls he's mad and he wants to confront her. What he doesn't know is that she's at home deathly sick and in need of help cause of her high fever. When she doesn't open her door he is raging thinking that she's in bed with another man, but what he finds shatters his heart not as he aspected. He finds her semi conscious on her bathroom floor....
Well some angst, drama, secrets of her past and a protective caretaking Frank nurses her back to health.
Hope that's something you like.
Love, kiss and hugs sends you a fan of your work
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language ๐Ÿค
SIRENS IN MY HEAD โžต F. CASTLE
Tumblr media
Summary: Feeling under the weather, you cancel your date with Frank, and when he doesnโ€™t hear from you for a few days, he expects the worst โ€” only to find an equally bad situation: you, unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Warnings: Chronic illness, mentions of an abusive ex, cursing, feminine nicknames
Word count: 2.2k
Authorโ€™s note: Omg anon it took me so long to finish this, I apologize!! I took some creative liberties with this one because personally I feel like Frank would assume something bad happened to you instead of cheating, but I hope you still like what I came up with :) Iโ€™m sending you lots of love and good vibes!!
In the past couple of months, you and Frank had discovered that you had a lot in common โ€” you both liked dogs, you both tended to put others before yourselves, and you liked the same kind of music playing from his truck radio whenever he took you anywhere. But the most glaring similarity between the two of you lately was that neither of you remembered the first thing about dating. He had never even intended to get back into it, but then you had come and won his heart all to yourself, whereas you had been reserved and wary ever since you had broken up with your aggressive and controlling ex. His habit of putting you down with words as much as his hands had earned you a complete distrust of men โ€” with Frank being, apparently, the exception.
Still, you didnโ€™t completely open up to him. In fact, there was one major thing you had been holding out on, out of the fear that it would be too much for him to take โ€” or worse, he would take advantage of that weakness somehow. So when you started to feel under the weather once more, your chronic tendencies acting up again, you made sure not to tell him why you were canceling your dinner date.
โ€Yeah, itโ€™s just, I have to be at work all day and it doesnโ€™t really seem like itโ€™s gonna work out todayโ€, you rambled into the phone, hoping Frank wouldnโ€™t call you out on the bullshit excuse, only to be crushed a little more by his disappointed voice.
โ€Oh, okay, sweetheart. โ€™M sorry to hear that. Maybe tomorrow, then, huh?โ€ Frank suggested, his gravelly voice full of dismay, and as a wave of nausea rushed over you, you squeezed your eyes shut and drew in a shaky breath.
โ€Actually, uh, Iโ€™m not sure I can make that work. Iโ€™m really sorry, but Iโ€™llโ€”Iโ€™ll let you know when Iโ€™mโ€ฆ more availableโ€, you cleared your throat, embarrassment creeping up your spine and mixing in with the cold sweat breaking on your forehead. โ€Again, Iโ€™m sorry. I have to go.โ€
With that, you hung up the phone and threw it next to you on the mattress before groaning and running your hands across your face. You hated this, but you couldnโ€™t bring yourself to telling him the truth. Still, as your fever rose and your heartrate refused to calm down, you wished nothing more than to have Frank by your side, caressing your hair and holding your hand.
It wasnโ€™t the first time you had done this, tried to fool him into thinking you were fine when in reality you were not, but this was the first time Frank was more than just a little bit suspicious. He would have liked to think that enough time had passed between the two of you for you to be honest with him, the same way he was learning to be honest with you โ€” even about things he had always kept to himself.
Still, he let it go. For the first couple of days, anyway. Then all of a sudden, you werenโ€™t answering texts, ranging from casual check-ins to more clear requests for any kind of sign, and when he called you, you didnโ€™t pick up, either. You had gone completely radio silent for the fourth day now, whereas before you would get back to Frank within minutes. He missed checking his phone and seeing a notification from you, and like a goddamn schoolgirl, he missed texting you until ungodly hours in the AM until heโ€™d pass out on his phone from sheer exhaustion.
And Frank, well, he always assumed the worst. The most horrendous scenario imaginable was already forming in his head, and he tried his damnedest to keep his cool, but fuck, if he wasnโ€™t worried. He tried to get his mind off of you by cleaning his guns, but he soon realized it was just to prepare him against whoever had possibly taken you from your home, or maybe even the street. Surely something had happened for you to not even let him know you were okay.
โ€Goddamn it, sweetheartโ€, he muttered at his phone where his long list of unanswered text messages stared back at him. He tried to sit still in his silent apartment, but the longer he did, the worse he started to overthink. And before he knew it, he was out the door, headed for your building with his gun in the waistband of his jeans.
Tapping on the wheel, he impatiently swerved from one street to another. He had gotten far too attached to you โ€” in fact, he hadnโ€™t even realized just how deeply until right now, but he couldnโ€™t bear the thought of losing you, not now, not ever. You had become so indescribably important to him, more than heโ€™d even care to admit, but he couldnโ€™t lie to himself. He was ready to go to war for you if that was what the night had in the cards for him.
He was at your front door in almost no time, his knuckles knocking on the door to give you the chance to answer. But when nothing happened, not even a squeak came from indoors, Frank tried the handle โ€” to no avail. โ€Fuckโ€, he cursed under his breath, knowing youโ€™d hand his ass to him for what he was about to do, but he wasnโ€™t going to let a mere door stand in his way.
And so, he shoved through the door with his shoulder, busting in unceremoniously and with a bang. At first glance, the apartment looked untouched, and in any other situation, he would have taken a moment to appreciate just how you it was, from photos to little plushies decorating the place. But now, he was focused on only one thing, and that was finding you. Even though the place seemed normal in every way, he withdrew his gun and kept it hoisted in the air just in case, the barrel leading the way as he searched the apartment room by room.
It was in the bathroom that Frank found what he was looking for, only to be slapped in the face by the horror that quickly washed over him at the sight โ€” you, lying on the floor, sweat beading on your feverish face while you breathed heavily and unevenly.
โ€Shitโ€, he uttered out while putting his gun away and kneeling down beside you. โ€Sweetheart? Hey, sweet girl, can you hear me? Hey, I need ya to wake up for me, okay?โ€ Frank continued, his anger fading into worry as he lifted your head up and tried to gently shake you into consciousness. When you began moving on your own and your eyes parted open, he sighed in relief, but licked his lips in the realization that you were not in the clear yet.
โ€Hey, hey, take it easy. You with me, darlinโ€™? Look at meโ€, he instructed with short and simple statements, his voice gentle but stern, and you found it in yourself to follow his guidance. You leaned into him and looked up at him, struggling to find your words with your dry throat and your dizzy head.
โ€Didnโ€™t want you to see me like thisโ€, you slurred, and knitting his eyebrows together, Frank tilted his head at you.
Nodding to promise he understood, he cleared his throat. โ€Listen, Iโ€™mma take you to the hospital, aight? Iโ€™ll be with you the whole time, I promiseโ€, he continued, and even though you didnโ€™t have it in you to fight back, you nodded.
With ease, Frank picked you up from the floor, and as quickly but carefully as he could, he rushed downstairs to his truck where he made sure to protect your head and avoid any sudden movements while buckling you in. He maintained a balance between rushing and not risking your life any further, but needless to say, he was relieved no cops pulled him over as he sped through the streets to get to the emergency room.
He was working on autopilot, his instincts guiding him but his mind not quite catching up with what was happening. He was scared, but that part of him was shutting down completely and the diligent soldier in him took charge of the situation until you were lying in a hospital bed, still unconscious but stable according to the doctors.
He didnโ€™t leave your side for one second, even when his eyes started to slip and his body yearned for coffee. The doctors told him he might have to wait all night, but he was willing to โ€” he just wasnโ€™t going to let you wake up all alone, confused and hurt.
It must have been near 4 AM when you finally came to, your groggy movements alerting Frank who was half-asleep in the chair he had dragged to your bedside. But as soon as you seemed to be waking up, he was eyes wide and his hand reaching for yours. You were too out of it to fight him off even if you had wanted to, but when your eyes adjusted to the new setting and you slowly realized where you were, you clung onto him desperately.
โ€Frankโ€ฆโ€, you croaked out, eyes blinking rapidly as you lifted your head just a little bit, and shushing you softly, Frank caressed your cheek with his free hand.
โ€Hey there, pretty girl. Iโ€™m right here. Youโ€™re at the hospital, okay? I found you, uh, I found ya unconscious and I got you hereโ€, he started, his rough voice a warm welcome as you got oriented โ€” although as you did, you found yourself hoping you wouldnโ€™t.
As soon as you remembered the couple of days you had had, shame, regret and guilt gushed into your system, poisoning you from within and encouraging you to bury your face in your hands. You groaned, but still blissfully unaware, Frank continued.
โ€Iโ€”Iโ€™m not really sure what happened and the doctors donโ€™t wanna tell me anythinโ€™โ€ฆโ€, he trailed off, sounding and looking very much like a kicked puppy, and it made you feel so shitty. God, you really liked him, and now it felt like everything you had developed together was moments away from burning to ashes.
โ€Iโ€™m so sorry, Frank. I didnโ€™t want you to get involved in this messโ€, you breathed out, pursing your lips together awkwardly in an effort to not cry.
โ€Hey, you donโ€™t gotta apologize. Iโ€ฆ I wanna be involved in whatever you got goinโ€™ on, yโ€™know?โ€ he shrugged before licking his lips and adding, โ€and since Iโ€™m here now, maybe you could tell me whatโ€™s goinโ€™ on?โ€
He made a damn good argument there. So, you decided to put on your big girl pants and rip off the band-aid.
โ€I suffer from theseโ€ฆ spells, I guess. I deal with chronic illness and when I get sick, I get really sick. Iโ€™ve been struggling with it a lot this week, so I cancelled our dateโ€, you explained with a grimace, but Frank didnโ€™t seem shaken by it โ€” worried, sure, but about to make your worst nightmares come true? Not by a long shot.
โ€Man, thatโ€™sโ€ฆ Shit, that sucks. No way โ€™round it. โ€™M sorryโ€, he sympathized, and you nodded quietly to accept his kindness. โ€Maybe Iโ€™m just a big oleโ€™ idiot but uh, you coulda just told me, yeah?โ€ Frank wondered, and you couldnโ€™t help but chuckle at his innocent attempt to understand. Granted, you werenโ€™t making it easy for him.
โ€Yeah, thatโ€™s where my trust issues come in, I guess. Um, my ex was reallyโ€ฆ Well, the worst. I kinda learned to expect the worst from everyone, especially men, and I didnโ€™t want to risk telling you because I didnโ€™t know how youโ€™d react. Even now Iโ€™m kind of worried about what this means for our futureโ€, you admitted nervously, your fingers fiddling with the thin cover on top of you, and Frank immediately squeezed your hand to reassure you.
โ€I ainโ€™t gonna do anythinโ€™ you donโ€™t want me to. Iโ€™ll try to learn about it and do whatever I can to help ya out, is that okay?โ€ he questioned shyly, and with a quick nod, you smiled at him.
โ€Itโ€™s okay. I would like that. I just donโ€™t want it to be an inconvenience orโ€”or something that gives you too much control over meโ€, you explained, and tilting his head at you, Frank frowned.
โ€I donโ€™t wanna control you, sweetheart. โ€™M sorry your ex was a piece of shit like that. But I promise ya, I ainโ€™t gonna be the same. Iโ€™mma do this shit rightโ€, he insisted, still squeezing your hand, and as his words hung in the air, you felt the anxiety slowly fade away. Maybe, this could work out.
โ€Thank youโ€, you whispered, and nodding to confirm it was the least he could do, Frank lifted your hand to his mouth and left a gentle kiss on the back of it.
โ€Next timeโ€ฆ you can tell me and maybe I can come over and take care of you, yeah?โ€ he offered, and when you broke into an approving smile, he flashed a grin at you. โ€Good, goodโ€ฆ โ€™Cause I gotta be honest, I really like you, girl. And I ainโ€™t planninโ€™ on messinโ€™ this upโ€, Frank pointed out, and with a giggle escaping your mouth, you gripped his hand a bit tighter.
โ€Donโ€™t worry, youโ€™re doing just fine so far.โ€

Spiderman AU - LawLu
Luffy is a perpetually broke college student who is constantly looking for jobs to do. He tends to help around the neighborhood or the several labs around the city. He's studying to be anything that lets him have some adventures. His classes are sporadic and all over the place, and he is going for several degrees. One of those classes is in the science building. So, he has a lot of random interactions with med and science students. He talks to everyone.
Law works at the college as a researcher, having graduated when he was still a kid. He is trying to find a cure to his illness as anything he found until then was just a treatment, not a cure.
He works for the Donquixote family corp that is known around the city for being shitty behind the scenes (oscorp vibes). Law is one of their kids, and most avoid him for that fact alone. So when he tries to find one of the trade kids to help with more physical experiments, they say no.
Luffy overhears this conversation and immediately says yes. He doesn't ask for details. Law doesn't think that anyone not in the trade he's looking for will be useful with the amount of engineering required, but Luffy says he has a friend who can come by, and they can both help.
Luffy and Usopp show up a few days later at a lab tucked away in a part of the city that is not considered great. Luffy grew around there with Ace and Sabo, so he doesn't care, but Usopp is terrified. He grew up just outside a gated community where nobody locked their doors.
Law had given them the code, and they let themselves in. The lab is a mess, there is tech and half-finished experiments all over the place. Tanks with green bubbling liquid it. Law is focused on a microscope.
Luffy notices the bugs being kept in their habitats and immediately beelines it for that area and starts chattering away, asking questions.
Law is surprised by how much Luffy just casually knows about bioengineering and many other topics. Luffy manages to tell what experiment he is doing just from one glance. They talk bugs for a bit until Usopp clears his throat and says that he can only be there for a short few hours and what does Law want him to do.
They work through most of the evening after that. Usopp eventually leaves, but Luffy decides to stick around and talk more bugs with Traffy.
They talk well into the early morning, Law running on energy drinks and willpower crashes around 4 am mid-conversation.
Luffy chuckles, picks the man up as though he weighs nothing and brings him to the office couch, and goes to search for a blanket.
While on his quest, he noticed that one of the bug cages was ajar. Did they bump it when they were working? "Hope the little guy is still there."
It was not. The spider habitat was very much empty. Luffy decides to find it before leaving. First, he gets a blanket for Law though, he grew up with a brother who tends to overwork himself and crash and then get colds, he doesn't want his new friend to get sick.
When he does find the spider by instinct alone. It's calm and crawls up his arm as though they have known each other for years.
Then Law wakes up, he comes out of the room all groggy and asks why Luffy is still there.
The spider gets spooked and bites Luffy, who moves quickly to drop it into its habitat. "Had a little escape." He smiles and pretends that he wasn't just bitten by a potentially poisonous spider.
"Oh, thanks." Law nods. "I'm gonna get some more sleep. You should go home. Classes start soon"
"Yeah, yeah" Luffy waves it off, he still has plenty of energy to go to class and stay up another day.
He leaves Law's lab, takes the subway home, and as soon as he is through the door, he crashes. Much to the alarm of Ace and Sabo, who he shares an apartment with.
When he wakes up again three days later, the doctors blame it on exhaustion. Nobody who knows Luffy buys it, there must be some other explanation. Ace, having lost both his parents to illness, insists that Luffy stays so the doctors run more tests. Luffy says no because it's boring and expensive even though the college job contract pays for his insurance.
So he is driven home, and as soon as Ace and Sabo leave for their obligations, he is out the door. He wants to see Law and say sorry for flaking. He promised and failed. The lab isn't far away, so he can walk. Something he probably shouldn't do right before dark in his neighborhood. Ace often tells him that's how you get shot.
On the way, he doesn't quite pay attention. He hears gunshots, but that's normal. They stop eventually, and he thinks nothing of it until a car comes roaring around the corner. It's too fast, but his body reacts, and he jumps into the air, landing on a nearby building and sticking to the wall.
He has powers from that point on. The first person he visits is Usopp, telling him everything! Then, everyone else in his group of friends, he doesn't keep secrets from them or anyone really. They are going to have a hell of a time trying to keep Luffy is Spiderman a secret xd. He'll tell Ace and Sabo later when they stop fussing over him, almost getting by a car, which is how he started the story.
So after that, he goes to Law's lab, only to find it dark. When Usopp manages to turn on the lights, everything is broken, and there is blood on the floor and walls. Something bad happened here. He knows the blood is Law's
Luffy decides to make this his first case as Spiderman. He and Usopp clean up the lab as best they can and make it their own, looking for clues.
They find out that Doflamingo Donquixote sold this lab to the city and marked it abandoned, and well, it is the city that moves slowly, especially in lower-end neighborhoods. It went into limbo. Nobody owns it now. That also means there is now news of Law or what happened, or where he is now.
Usopp as the constant voice of wisdom (self-proclaimed lol) says they should just leave it and not get involved with DQ Corp, that it is a bad idea.
Luffy just says meh and that he has to find Traffy. He was cool. They talked about bugs all night, and that might as well be a proposal.
So Luffy with Usopp providing the tech support starts going after DQ buildings around town, finding out a lot of crap that they pull and more about Law's situation, that he was practically bought out of college to do illegal experimentation for DQ. They were looking for immortality, and there was an accident. In the files, the law was just labeled a failure and a criminal for getting away with proprietary info.
With no leads, Luffy decides to say fck it and just go on instinct. He swings all around the city until he reaches the docks. There are large pipes leading into the harbor, and one of them has its grate broken.
Luffy goes in without a second thought that it will be dangerous.
Inside is a makeshift lab, stealing power from the dockyard above.
"TRAFFY! I found you." He pulls off his mask. Luffy is absolutely giddy at finding his friend. They may have only known each other for a week and a day, but Luffy knows who he wants even if he only saw them for a minute.
Law jumps and runs, pressing himself into the far corner of the room. 'Don't Look!'
Luffy, of course, ignores him and gets in his personal space. "Heh, you got scales and a tail! That's so cool"
Law relaxes a little bit then more and tells Luffy everything. How he had gotten a breakthrough in the immortality serum he was making for Doflamingo and he needed a test subject even though DQ would provide him with what they called 'disposable personnel'. Law wasn't about to let them do that, so he used it on himself, partially out of desperation as his treatments stopped working. It cured him, but the side effect was he was more lizard than human now and also wanted dead so Doffy could dissect him to see what made him tick. As Law destroyed any notes and had no intention of telling him, the side effects were too much to allow human testing, which is the next step to work out the problems.
Luffy only half listens, snapping awake when Law is done and telling him to leave that it is not his problem.
"Nuhuh, I like you, Traffy! Come on. My friends can help yah." He puts on his mask and lifts Law as though he still weighs nothing despite the tail adding more than a couple of pounds.
"Wait, don't just--" Law tries to complain, push away, that is until they are flying through the air. Then he clings, he is not good with heights.
Luffy brings them to the dorm, building his friends are at, going for the common room where they are all gathered, just relaxing.
He sets Law on the couch, "Hey guys, this is Traffy, he's gonna be my boyfriend!"
"What? No, I'm not!" Law snaps, bearing his new fangs, scales glisten in the light. He realizes they are all staring at him, he tries to hide his tail.
"Aw, why not" Luffy crouches with a pout "Dont you like me?"
"I went along with your bullshit because I need help with all this" He gestures all over himself.
"Yeah, we'll help, but I also like you, Traffy, that's how I found you!" Luffy says it with full confidence.
"Argue with Luffy later," Nami interjects. "He's not gonna drop it"
"Yeah, dinner is almost ready anyway." Zoro opens one eye to look over from the couch where he is chilling.
"Food!" Luffy throws off his mask and runs toward the kitchen.
"Dont you all care?" Law looks around, confused that they aren't freaking out.
"Luffy's a spider. You being a lizard might as well be normal." Nami shrugs, taking some chips out of a bowl on the coffee table.
And thats that, they let him into their makeshift family as though he has always been there.
They talk about their plan, Luffy's being just to break in and punch Doflamingo in his stupid bird face and tell him to leave his 'future boyfriend' alone. He always says it with such confidence that Law almost agrees every time, but he holds back.
When not talking about destroying the biggest corp in the city, they talk about science and biology as Law tries to revert his condition. Luffy adds new ideas that Law would have never even thought of. They are highly experimental and impractical but genius.
These discussions usually end in Law curled up in Luffy's arms, tail around his waist as they fall asleep. This arrangement made both Law and Luffy have something akin to a good sleeping schedule.
In time, they take down DQ, it's a dramatic fight with Luffy getting injured so much that he has to recover for a whole week even with his healing abilities.
When he wakes up again, Law is there at his bedside, wearing a fancy oversized coat to hide his tail.
Luffy grins. "Will you be my boyfriend now, Traffy?"
With the right of Doffy's control gone, he's free, and for the first time, he feels comfortable enough to say yes. Their fight is not over yet, but now they are together, for whatever comes next in making the city free.

smth abt jordan and their playstation ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜” think they'd be v serious about it. sneaking out of their bed while u nap bc, as much as they want to stay wrapped around you, they promised someone or another they'd play w them. love them immeasurably but they'd probably wake you up w their hushed cursing into their headset.
they notice u moving out of the corner of their eye, glancing away from their screen for just a second to see u rub the sleep from your eyes.
"did i wake you up, baby? i'm sorry."
you grumbling out a response, turning to watch them play whatever trashy shooter game they had pulled up.
think if you got all whiny w them, pouting around a "jordan," missing their warmth pressed close to your body, they'd sigh, casting their eyes over to you n muting themself.
"c'mere." and you basically have no choice but to pad over to them--know when you got close enough they'd pull you into their lap w their free hand on your waist. leaning back against them, sat right on their strong thigh--their hand slipping under your shirt to hold your waist. planting a lingering kiss on ur forehead while you nestle ur head into the crook of their neck, brain fuzzy n warm even as they unmute, back to focusing on their game. but the way they run their thumb over the soft skin of ur stomach, turning to kiss your temple every once in a while, is enough to keep you content. more than content w their thigh sitting against ur cunt but we don't have to get into it.
๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ
running out of thought s in my head but ๐Ÿ˜‹ back in poppy's asks!!!
what if i tossed myself into the sea what then !!!!!!
laying your head on their chest, watching them play in a kind of comfortable fog, you hear the warm steady beat of their heart under your ear, the vibration of their voice whenever they talk to their friends on the headset, the flex of their arms as they work the controller in their hands. you can't help but notice and be attracted to the small things like that. you feel slick start to pool between your thighs at the way they so easily shift you in their lap and adjust you so you're more comfy. so considerate and in tune with you even when they're distracted. you find yourself tilting your head to watch their profile, they get to serious about these games, its kinda cute. they way they bite their bottom lip in focus. not even brushing away the hair that falls across their forehead. you get it for them, reaching up to tuck the dark strands behind their ear.
they glance down at you, give you that dimpled distracted smile, and lean down to give you a kiss. on the crown of your head. they say, just to you, reaching up to cover the mic with their palm, "I'll just be a few minutes, baby, is that alright? then we'll do something - or nothing. whatever you want."
you smile and lean up to kiss that defined jaw. soft and sweet. snuggle back into their chest, "take as long as you want, j, m'happy here."
they kiss you again, this time letting their nose linger in your crown for a tender second. their hand comes up and then they're tilting your face again, this time kissing your lips. they moan into it a little, feeling your nipples press against them and inhale sharply when they pull away. "yeah - ill. I'm just gonna finish this round."
you giggle, loving how they're always so hungry for you. get an excited tingle in your belly at the prospect of them taking you back to bed soon.

Bad Flirting - Steve Harrington x f!reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Steve doesn't know how to flirt and he always tries too hard to make a move on girls. He's always hitting on you as a joke to see if it works out with the others and you usually make fun of his attempts.
Warning: Fluff, cursing and slangs, usage of the word f*g
Word count: 2.7k
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’
Steve was listening to some slow rock music at the Family Video, fixing a pile of new VHS that had just arrived. He was whistling to the sound, being extremely focused on not dropping the videos on the floor like he would almost always do.
Robin was on her break and it was starting to get dark when you left your work to grab a few movies to watch with your brother on the weekend.
You entered the place and the door made a ding sound, pulling Harrington out of his daydream.
He smiled, standing on the counter as he spoke. "To what do I owe the honor of seeing this shining, mind-blowing out of this world person in front of me?".
You chuckled, you figured he was trying to work on his flirting and making a move thing. He would always do that whenever you got there and never failed to work on his attempts. "You're still trying to hit on me?".
You rest both arms on the counter closer to him and he gives you a smirk. "Did it work?". He seemed pretty hopeful, his eyes were bright and his face showed you this happy look.
"Does it look like it work?", you ask him and he sighs. "Tell you what. If it works, you can take me on a date".
It caught him off guard, because you never showed any interest in him, even though it's not like you would never go out with him. He sort of laughed because it was weird for him to see you say something like that.
"Yeah, right. You know if I tell Robin that, she's gonna be laughing at me for like a week". He rubbed his hand across his silky hair.
"I'm being serious. Come on, what's wrong about that?". You weren't actually lying, and it would be nice to go out with him either way.
Steve shrugged his shoulders and offered you his pinky and you snorted. "You promise?". You nodded.
He only gave you his back to get the notebook and write down your renting for the day. You took that opportunity to also advise him to watch some movies as well, especially because he was still too ill-informed about movie stuff.
As soon as Robin got back on the counter, you crossed eyes and you started laughing. Both of you looked at the man who was grabbing the VHS's, who noticed the giggling. "You know that's bullying".
"Oh Steve, we all know it's only for the fun", Robin explained. "What did he say tonight?".
You tried mimicking him as you repeated his words and Buckley broke down into a laugh. Harrington stared at you two with a hurt look.
"Funny, very funny", he came back with the tapes and pushed them towards you while you were still giggling. "Now I don't want to go on a date with you anymore".
"Wait, what? Date?", she asked, confused. "Did he brainwash you with that sloppy flirting?". Steve flicked her ear and she kept laughing.
"No, I promised him that if it works one day, he can take me on a date", you explained. You gave him the money and he still looked like he was upset about the joke.
"And I said I don't want to anymore", Harrington mumbled. He gave you back your change, resting his lower back on the counter.
"C'mon, Stevie", Robin started, teasing him. "It will work, you just need to stop forcing it. Stop trying to look like you're Romeo".
"You know she's right. Just don't try too hard. Just let it come to you", you said, resting your hand above his. He pressed his soft fingers onto yours.
"Fuck it, you guys. Just go on a date already", Buckley stated, out of nowhere. "Just go out, eat some food, talk. You teach him about good movies", she emphasized. "You're friends, it's going to be fun!".
You and Steve crossed eyes, you smiled at him but he was sort of reluctant. You were friends for a while now but it was never awkward to be around him. Suddenly he feels like he can't stare at you for too long now, especially because he forced some mediocre flirting.
"Fine, I'll go. How about tomorrow?", he gave in. You nodded, holding the bag with the tapes and smiled. "I'll pick you up at 7 pm".
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’
You were almost finishing your makeup when Harrington arrived at your front door. Your brother was showering and he couldn't answer the door for you after you yelled his name a few times.
It took you only a minute to get downstairs, as you opened the door and his scent washed over your nostrils like a hurricane. Suddenly it made you feel weird about doing out with him, but you focused on trying to make it feel like just a date as a friend.
"You look like God's most... You know what? Forget it. You look really good", he tripped over his own words. He tried to replace his flirting with a compliment, and you chuckled.
"Thank you, Harrington. You look great too, and you smell amazing", you said as you headed to his car. He opened the door for you like a gentleman and waited for you to get in.
"It's my natural scent", he replied as he got in the driver's seat. "Shocking, right?".
"Unless your scent comes from a Calvin Klein bottle, not really", you say as you smile at him and turn on his radio.
He took you to a rollerblade rink place near downtown, where you could enjoy the food and try to have fun skating at the same time.
You and your friends would always go there whenever you had free time. Even though you were all applying for college, you'd still enjoy fun times together.
"You did good back there. See, you didn't need some awkward compliment", you say as you grab some fries. "Just try being funny, after all it's what us girls like".
He raised both eyebrows like he was really having a lesson there. "Yeah. I mean, I'm really terrible at that. Even though I've had hundreds of dates".
"I know, and that is what surprises me the most. You're always so weird when you try to make a move", you state. "Don't take it to heart, Steve. Sometimes you're just forcing into things when you don't need to".
He looked at you kinda amused by how you were willing to help him out getting to girls. After all, that's what friends are for. "Thank you, (Y/N). And you know I can also help you out with guys if you ever need to".
"Oh, no. Thanks but I'm all set with men. I've got a rotten finger for them". You respond as you pick on some of his onion rings. He doesn't want to feel bad for you but he does. You're a nice woman and smart, he always thought.
"Maybe you're not the issue. You know how we all are", Harrington stated. "We don't know how to take you for granted, I admit that. But I've learned a lot. Especially after I became friends with Rob".
"Yeah, she's great. And she looks like your mother. You may be 21 now but you still act like you never left middle school", you grinned and he rolled his eyes.
"What's the fun about being boring? I like to make jokes!", he defended himself while you were laughing. "I'll get more refill".
The date wasn't going bad so far. You never go out alone with Steve and you were worried you wouldn't be able to have a nice conversation with him, but there you were. And he was being gentle as always.
You were looking at the people while they were skating and didn't realize when a guy stood in front of you, smiling. You didn't say a word as you pretended he wasn't there, but he made sure to clear his throat before talking.
"Hey, you wanna go roller?", he asked as he rested one of his hands on your shoulder. You looked right into it and shrugged it off.
"No, thank you. I've got company". You tried to be nice and gave him a weak smile. You honestly hated when guys were invasive like that. "He went to grab some refill".
"Oh, you call Steve Fag Harrington company?", he chuckled ironically, and you stiffened. What the fuck was wrong with this dude?
"He's not a fag. Would you please just leave? I'm not in the mood for that crap". You asked as you tried to ignore his presence, but he was willingly trying to make you go roller with him.
"Come on, don't be like that. I know you want it". You rolled your eyes back into your skull.
"Did I stutter? I said no", you implied, staring at him. You were starting to get stressed because of him.
"She said no, man. No means no", you heard Steve from behind the guy. He was holding soda with both hands, staring at the guy with his brows furrowed.
This was turning into a shitshow. The guy turned around to look at Harrington and he laughed. "Just leave her alone", he said.
"Or what, fag?", oh. Things escalated so quickly, you barely had time to realized Steve had just thrown your sodas on him, pulling him by his collar.
"You call me that again and I'll break your fucking face", he threatened.
"You could never even throw a fucking punch, Harrington", the dude stared at him only a few inches from his face and you stood up, grabbing Steve by the arm.
"Well, yeah? Then try me", he was still gripping him by the collar and you intervened.
"Let him go, it's not worth it", you said as the guy smiled with sarcasm when he looked at you, but he didn't listen and punched the guy on his chin.
You heard Harrington proclaim a "fuck" under his breath, trying to pretend it didn't hurt. Steve still pushed the guy back and he stumbled on his feet.
He left and didn't even look behind him, laughing out loud about the situation. You were still kinda shocked.
"You okay?", he asked and you nodded. You didn't know if you grinned or not. You thought it was weird to see him act like that, he was always so soft. "Fuck, the sodas".
"It's alright, don't worry about it", you affirmed, but you were too focused on the bruises on his hand. "Holy shit, Steve, your knuckles"
"I know. God, this hurts so much", he complained as he made a scrunchy face out of the pain. "This guy used to be a pain in the ass back in school".
"Used to?", you laughed and he did the same thing. "Thank you for being my hero today".
"Always a pleasure", he responded as he tried to be smooth but his hands were still hurting.
"You see? That's why I said I was all set". You facepalmed.
"It's not your fault. You have better taste than that I believe". He was still holding his bruised hand when he grabbed yours, trying to comfort you.
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’
You were supposed to roller with him after eating, but that went to south when you decided it was better if you called it off and went back home to treat his injuries.
You offered yourself to clean the small bloody wounds and took the advantage to talk about movies with him like Robin said.
It came to your mind you could take this friendship further and actually go out with him and Robin, have fun and laugh it off as you were doing every time he would flip into the floor because he didn't coordination.
You were already listing your favorite action movies from the past year, making sure he was taking mental notes to watch them, when you arrived home.
You were also talking about nonsense music as the radio was blasting a Madonna song really loud by the speakers.
He turned it off when you arrived and looked at you, with a small grin on the side of his lips. His silky hair was falling into his forehead and you fixed it, while he followed your hand with his brown eyes.
He usually don't let people touch his hair and it's completely understandable, but you made sure it was only a stray of it. Harrington didn't know how it felt like to actually have butterflies on his stomach since he broke up with Nancy.
He's had a few dates where he would feel like he was melting down because they were either nice or too hot, or had their cleavage showing too much.
He didn't actually know if it was his brain playing a trick with him, but he let the feeling sink in either way. Your wrists still smelled floral like from your perfume and he could feel it filling up his nose. In the back of his mind it had a fruity note as well.
You got out of the car and he followed you. Your brother wasn't home so you didn't even bother to look for him anyway. You turned on the TV while looking for some ice.
"I'll just clean it up", he told you before getting into the bathroom as he washed off the blood from his knuckles. You were holding the ice pack while waiting for him.
Family Ties was on TV when he saw the show and sat on the couch, suddenly all caught up with it. "Hey, it's the Alex P. Keaton show!". You laughed at the way he said it.
"Yeah, Robin told me about the way you reacted to Back to the Future when it came out", you sat next to him and placed the ice pack on his hand, listening to him hissing over the pain.
"He was definitely trying to bang his mom and she was totally into it!", he stated and you laughed harder. "Fuck, that's cold", he cried.
You could see how his hand was shaking as his skin tried to adjust to the temperature.
"I'm sorry you hurt yourself and we had to call it off", you mumbled. It's not like it was your fault, you didn't just expect him to pull a macho man against the guy.
"Hey, it's not your fault, (Y/N). I told you already. And I've always wanted to kick his ass anyway".
"Yeah, but still", you said. "He ruined our night. But thank you for standing out for me".
"We can do that again, if you don't mind", he offered, smiling at you. God he was so sweet, it was hard to say no.
"Smooth. I like that".
You both spent a few seconds in silence, until you remembered something.
"You know Michael J. Fox? That guy?", you pointed to the TV and Steve agreed. "There's this movie that also came out recently. It's called Teen Wolf", you started.
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’
Steve was standing by your door before leaving. "How did I do?", he asked innocently. You chuckled at his question and he widened his eyes. "That bad?".
"No. Actually you don't ask this kind of question to a girl, but let's consider this a test, so you went good", you stated. He seemed relieved after your response.
You got closer so you could greet him goodbye on the cheek but you accidentally bumped your faces too hard. "Shit, sorry", he said, a little tense as you were still too close.
His cologne hit you and travelled your entire body and it made you shiver when you felt the smell of his shampoo at the same time. This is why you didn't like to stand too close to someone like that.
You've always found him attractive but not really like that, and it was weird to feel that way.
"Goodnight, Steve", you said under your breath, not really on purpose but he noticed it. And it was clear to him how that would go, but he didn't want to be too forward. Not with you, at least.
You grabbed his right cheek with your hand and placed a gentle kiss close to his mouth. He was definitely going to spend the entire night thinking about what just happened.
"Take care of your hand and don't go out there punching anyone", you smiled, he let out a soft chuckle.
"Duly noted", he said before giving you a kiss on your hand. "Good night!".
It made him realize maybe it wasn't about really flirting and trying to make a move on someone. Maybe it was just about being really himself and not try to be a Romeo like Robin said.
Robin, he thought. If it wasn't for her you would be staying home doing nothings like you always did. And he would be playing some stupid nerdy games with his friends.

Tumblr media
BILL:
ใƒปHe's 50/50 on noticing small things like this
ใƒปBut he's in such a euphoric state, whimpers leaving his lips as he rams into you with his hands wrapped around your waist
ใƒปListening to you tell him how good he is, but over time your words die down and eventually your silent.
ใƒปHe can barley ask if your okay, nearly stopping his movements. He would've stopped completely if it weren't for you telling him to keep going. As long as he felt good, right?
ใƒปAfter climax (EWWWAHHH) he leans knto your neck, smiling as he hears you begin to ask that amazing question
"Wanna go show-"
"yes."
ใƒปHe just likes your fingers running through his hair, massaging his scalp as you rub the conditioner in.
ใƒปHe's been itching to ask if you were really okay, he doesn't want to seem too worried or overreactive. He can already feel tears prickling his eyes as yo hesitate to ask at the startxbefore admitting to feeling ill.
ใƒปGod fucking damn it..I should've stopped I-"
"It's not your fault, babe.."
ใƒปCuddling you for the rest of the day (or night), not being able to take his hands off you as he tries to make it up to you.
ใƒปNo like...literally can't take his hands off you. If you eat later that day he seats you on his lap.
Tumblr media
TOM:
ใƒปHe gets caught up in his own pleasure.
ใƒปLike he won't really notice it when you slowly stop responding, or when you go a little too limp
ใƒปHe's in some sorta headspace ๐Ÿ˜ญ
ใƒปWhispering to you how good you feel around him, how perfect you are..
ใƒปAfter allat, he eventually snaps out of it and notices how your barley making any noise or aren't talking
"M/N? .. M/N you okay???"
"Hmmm..? Yeah I'm good..wanna take a bath with me.?"
ใƒปDuring aftercare he keeps asking if you're okay under his breath, kissing your cheeks as you rest in the tub together.
ใƒปIf you actually confess to feeling ill or lightheaded his heart stops for a second
ใƒปHE ACTUALLY FEELS SO BAD STOPPP
ใƒปLike he'd kinda try to hide it, but eventually emotions get the best of him and soon enough he's holding back tears apologizing to you kissing over your neck, ignoring you when you say you were fine.
Tumblr media
GEORG:
ใƒปLike Tom, he's not exactly the best..
ใƒปTelling you how good you are for him under his breath, not exactly noticing you slowly stopped responding.
ใƒปCan't help but feel concerned, unsure if he should stop or keep going
ใƒปHe nearly did, but your hand gripped his thigh to stop him from pulling out so..
ใƒปAfterwards he puts on your favorite show/movie, snuggling against you as he leaves kisses on your forehead.
ใƒปDoesn't ease into it and just asks you flat out.
"Were you okay..?"
"What-"
"yes or no."
ใƒปno
ใƒปHe feels a lump build at the back of his throat, yet he still tries to talk to you
ใƒปAsking when or what made you feel this way, making sure he would never do this to you again
ใƒปHe feels bad about it a few days later, even with your constant worss that you were okay
ใƒปHe's scared to have sex with you again for a little...THAT SOUNDS SO WEIRD BUT IT'S TRUE?
ใƒปLike I said- he doesn't want to put you through that again
ใƒปbut likeeee you need that dick so you convince him and it all works out
Tumblr media
GUSTAV:
ใƒปHE'S TOO SWEET STOP
ใƒปHe's quite good at noticing things like these.
ใƒปStopping his movements when you start to look..off. Or when you just stop making noise completely.
ใƒปIgnoring your soft whine of protest, asking you "Are you good..?" ..no you're not. you're gonna say you're not and -
"Yeah I'm fine...keep going please..!"
ใƒปHesitate before going back to his pace he was at before, kissing your chest and neck as his fingers go down your waist and tickles down your thighs
ใƒปStill concerned he can't really hear your moans or whines, but you said you wanted more so he should continue..
ใƒปHe's sooxfucking tired after sex omg..hes surprised when you ask to give aftercare
"Are you sure? You don't wanna like..sleep?"
"No, no. Let's go get water or something."
ใƒปGiving you an aspirin and a water bottle as he gets a piece of candy, not being able to take his eyes off you as he contemplates if he should ask if your okay.
ใƒปhe does. you answer.
ใƒปHE WANTS TO CRY WHAT
ใƒปLike..he made you feel lightheaded? He made you nearly pass out? He made you sick?
ใƒปCan't even bother to look at himself or think about him, only focusing on you and your needs as he spoils you rotten.

๐Ÿ’Š Sick From The Melt ๐Ÿ’Š
๐Ÿ’€CHRIS MOTIONLESS X READER ONESHOT๐Ÿ’€
Everyone knows he's got the voice of an absolute angel, some might even say a siren, perhaps. But what happens when Chris suddenly ends up sick and that voice can no longer be heard...?
โ€ข fluff; language; mentions of illness
Tumblr media
"I'm telling you, there's something off about him today."
You heaved a sigh, trying hard to ignore the raised eyebrow you were currently receiving from Ricky, as the two of you sat across from each other at one of the tables in Starbucks.
"I mean, he didn't even move when I told him we were stopping here to grab some coffee. He almost never says no to Starbucks," the guitarist continued, throwing a glance over his shoulder towards the front windows, where you both could see the bus parked across the street.
"There's nothing off about him, maybe he just wanted to sleep in today, be lazy?" you argued. But you knew even as you said it that it was a lie. Ricky had made a fair point; in the short time you'd been touring with the band, you'd noticed a few things about each member.
Ricky refused to wait for late people, he couldn't stand them. He was also a bit of a perfectionist, not so unlike the band's lead vocalist, Chris. The two of them put together could be an absolute nightmare, sometimes. Justin had taken on sort of the "dad" role of the group occasionally, many a time without even realizing it.
Both Ryan and Vinny were pretty chill people to work with, and if you had to admit it, you found that Ryan wasn't actually as intimidating as you had first thought. And there had been many a night where Vinny's good sense of humor had helped save what would have otherwise been a very long, stressful road trip.
You had also learned within the first week that Chris did indeed love his coffee as much as the band's guitarist had implied. There were a few mornings where the two of you would be up and about much earlier than any of the other band members, so you and Chris would either stay in and make your own coffee, or go out and get coffee together.
It had become a sort of routine, a daily ritual of sorts, for the two of you.
Which was why you knew, deep down, that Ricky's suspicions might actually be correct.
Maybe there was indeed something off about Chris today.
"You know I'm right, I can see it," the guitarist pointed out, echoing your inner thoughts.
With another sigh, you nodded in agreement, your gaze drifting for a moment to rest behind Ricky's left shoulder, on the tour bus still parked and waiting across the street.
"I mean, you saw how he looked, right? He looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep since two days ago," Ricky continued quietly.
Your eyes shifted to meet his, before you let your gaze drop, staring down at the steaming paper cup of coffee clutched between your hands.
He was right again; the brief glimpse you had gotten of Chris before the two of you had left... there had been something different about him.
He did indeed look like he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep in a while. But you had assumed he'd be fine, nothing a long nap wouldn't cure, really.
"Maybe it's just the stress of touring, I don't know. I don't really want to think of anything worse right now, do you?" you answered softly.
Ricky offered you a rueful smile, nodding in agreement before taking a sip of his coffee and getting up from the table. "Here, come on, let's get back before they get on our asses, yeah? I think we've kept 'em waiting long enough," he spoke up, with another gentle smile.
With a nod, you got up, following him out of the coffee shop and across the street, towards the tour bus. Hopefully things would start looking up, and soon...
Tumblr media
"You sure you're gonna be okay out there? You look like death warmed over," you remarked. Chris waved you off with a rather weak smile, shrugging in response. "I'll be fine," he replied, before closing his eyes and letting you finish with his stage makeup.
When you were done, you stood back, admiring your work before watching Chris as he struggled to get up from the chair. A gentle frown marred your features as you continued to watch him, wincing as Chris suddenly went into a brief coughing fit before he disappeared into the back room to retrieve something.
Ricky's suspicions had definitely proven correct; there was something wrong with Chris.
The vocalist seemed weaker than usual the past few days, and you might be mistaken, but you could swear that his voice was fading, too. He also didn't seem to have as much energy or enthusiasm for things as he usually did.
It was a drastic change from the Chris you'd grown to know and love over the past couple of months you'd spent touring with the band.
Something was definitely wrong.
His words almost an exact mirroring of your inner thoughts, you suddenly heard Vinny speak up.
"Dude, he's been in there for a while, it's too quiet, something's up."
"Like what was up with the laundry?" someone asked, earning a round of laughter from the group. Vinny waved them all off with a scoff, although even from here, you could see the poorly concealed grin on his face.
Still, maybe he was right, maybe someone should go check on the lead vocalist...
"Guys, I'll be right back, hold on," you spoke up, heading towards the back room. The trace of a smile you still wore from moments earlier now vanished the instant you stepped foot into the room.
Your eyes widened as you took in the unmoving figure lying prone on the floor, an unopened bottle of water resting a few feet away from his hand. Your heart thundering in your chest, you threw a panicked glance over your shoulder, locking eyes with Ricky, who frowned.
"Call the paramedics! Now!" you told him, your voice trembling. You didn't even wait to hear his response; turning back around, you dropped to your knees beside Chris, grabbing ahold of his wrist and checking for a pulse.
It was still there, sure, but it seemed weaker than normal, or perhaps that was just your imagination...?
"Chris?? Can you hear me??"
Your desperate cries went unanswered, the vocalist's eyes remaining closed and his breathing shallow. Growing more anxious with every second that ticked by, you reached out with both hands, grabbing ahold of one of Chris's shoulders and trying to shake him awake.
"Chris! Please! You can't-"
"Hey, stop, shh," Ricky's gentle voice suddenly interrupted from your left. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw him kneel down next to you, taking one of Chris's wrists and checking for a pulse, much as you had done earlier.
A frown crossed his features, and he sat there, studying Chris for a moment, before releasing his friend's wrist and turning his attention towards you.
"Did he collapse when you walked in here, or was he already like this?" the guitarist asked softly. You felt hot tears forming at the corners of your eyes, making no effort to wipe them away as they slipped down your cheeks.
"He... he was like this when I came in here, I f-found him, he- he-" you couldn't even string a full sentence together anymore, your breath was coming out in quick, trembling gasps.
"Okay, hey, shh. Listen to me, Y/N. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to go and wait out there with the guys, yeah? Can you do that for me?" Ricky asked. You locked eyes with him then, giving him a minute shake of your head.
"No, what about Chris-" you began, but the guitarist shook his head at you, cutting you off with a gentle smile. "Don't worry about Chris. I want you to go wait for us, I'll take care of everything," he reassured you.
Taking your hand in his, he helped you up off the floor, leading you out of the room, but not before you threw one last worried glance over your shoulder at Chris.
"Paramedics are on their way, about ten minutes out," someone informed Ricky quietly. He nodded, leading you over to one of the couches in the room, giving you a gentle push on the shoulders to sit down.
"Here, just... stay here for me, okay? I'm gonna go check on Chris," he said softly, offering you a rueful smile, before turning around and heading towards the back room again.
The next few minutes seemed to drag on, each second slowly blurring into the next, the guys' voices becoming muffled and unintelligible as exhaustion eventually settled in.
Before you knew it, you were lying down on your side, letting your eyes fall closed, worried thoughts of Chris and what would happen to him drifting through your mind before darkness finally closed in...
Tumblr media
Death.
Dying, death, dead...
Wait, he wasn't dead, was he??
It certainly felt as though he had.
Every part of him ached, his throat felt like shit, and what the ever loving fuck was that annoying sound he kept hearing?
Trying to open his eyes was an entirely different struggle in itself, and the minute he'd accomplished this, he instantly wished he hadn't.
Everything was... too bright, too clean and white and... wrong, somehow.
A low groan tore itself free from his raw, aching throat, followed by the softest of gasps from somewhere on his right.
"Chris?"
Wait a minute. He knew that voice.
He'd recognize it anywhere, she'd only been touring with them for a few months now, but he'd know the sound of her voice anywhere.
Y/N...
It seemed to take every ounce of energy he had left in him for Chris to turn his head to the right, just enough to see the figure sitting beside him.
"Y/N-" he began, struggling to get the words out. But he stopped short upon hearing the sound of his own voice. Or rather, the lack, thereof.
It was no more than a whisper, worse than he'd ever heard it.
Something was wrong.
Something was very wrong.
"Don't... don't talk. They said you need to be put on vocal rest..." Y/N told him quietly.
He could hear the worry in her voice, see it on her face.
"How long?" he breathed, unsure if she'd be able to hear him.
"The doctors said it could be days, maybe weeks, given the amount of shit your throat's been put through," came Ricky's voice, from somewhere near the foot of the bed.
Only then did it fully register with Chris just where exactly he was.
He'd been admitted to a hospital-?
What the fuck even happened??
"What hap-" he started, but he couldn't even get the rest of the words out, his throat was fucking killing him.
"Ricky, what was it they said he had?" Y/N asked, looking towards the foot of the bed.
His bandmate slowly came into view then, taking a seat beside Y/N and tiredly running a hand through his hair.
"You have what they called a bronchial infection. So... as far as any future shows go, we're gonna have to cancel," Ricky answered.
Almost immediately, Chris shook his head in protest, a frown marring his features.
"We can't-" he started, but his bandmate held up a finger to silence him.
"Chris, man. You can't sing. You can barely talk, what do you think's gonna happen if we put you out there on that stage? You're only gonna cause further damage to your throat. No, you need to rest, we'll figure something out," he said, exchanging a glance with Y/N.
She reached out then, taking one of his hands in hers.
"Chris, you... you collapsed in the back room of the venue. I thought- I thought maybe that was it," she whispered.
"Anyway, Ricky's right," she continued, her gaze dropping to stare down at their entwined hands, "you need some rest. The fans will understand, you know they will. Your health is more important right now."
"Look, Ryan and Justin have already reached out to the venue's manager and kinda told them what happened. We'll issue a refund for this part of the tour, and for the next few dates too. Right now, you just need to give your voice a break, man," Ricky added.
"We could always get Ashes to cover your guys' portion of the show, or the guys from Omens. You know they always draw a big crowd," Y/N quietly interjected. In his periphery, Chris saw his bandmate nod in agreement.
"Exactly, they'll cover us for the time being, I'm sure Noah's got no issues with it," he agreed.
So that was it, then?
They would just, what, decide all of this without hearing his input on things??
Ever observant, Y/N was quick to notice the expression on Chris's face.
"You know I'm right, please... you can't- I don't- I don't want you causing further damage, I don't want you hurting yourself more-" she said softly.
The pleading look in those eyes of hers, it could have broken him down right then and there.
This was really it, then. They were serious, she was serious about all of this...
A weary, broken sigh managed to slip through the cracks before he could stop it, and Y/N offered him a sympathetic smile in response.
"I know. But... it's only a few weeks, yeah? We can make it that long, right?"
We.
She really cared more than he thought she would, didn't she?
Something about the way she looked at him now, the determination in her eyes, the way her hand remained tightly clasped in his, like she was fighting to keep it together for everybody, for him-
It was something to be admired, really.
Another sigh, this time in weary resignation, as Chris finally nodded.
"Alright. Then it's done. You're on mandatory vacation for the next few weeks, along with the rest of us," Ricky spoke up, trying to lighten the mood a little.
By some miracle, it seemed to work, a faint smile flickering across Chris's face before it was gone.
"Do you want anything? Tea? Water?" Y/N asked softly, her brows furrowing in concern.
He answered her with a weak shake of his head, instead giving her hand the tightest squeeze he could manage at the moment.
"Stay."
That one word took every bit of effort he had, clawing its way out of his throat in a strangled half-whisper.
And yet, she still heard it, answering him with a silent nod and a reassuring (albeit faltering) smile.
Y/N did indeed stay, up until Chris found his eyes falling closed again, the physical and mental exhaustion becoming too much for him.
But before the welcoming waves of unconsciousness set in, he could have sworn he heard Y/N whisper something to him, something that sounded a lot like "I'll stay as long as you need me..."
Oh, if only she knew...
If only she knew just how much he needed her...
Tumblr media
"Chris, I made you some- oh."
Startled, the lead vocalist cast a quick look over his shoulder at you, a somewhat guilty expression on his face.
Behind him, displayed on the still open screen of Ricky's laptop, was a video taken from a show Omens had put on two nights ago.
A show that Motionless was supposed to have played.
"It's only been a week, Chris. You... you can't keep doing this to yourself," you gently admonished him, crossing the room to bring him his cup of tea.
A rueful sort of smile etched itself onto his face, his eyes darting back to the screen for a minute before settling on yours again.
"I miss it," the words came out in a mumbled whisper.
You returned his rueful smile with one of your own, as you settled down on the seat beside him, resting your head on his shoulder.
"I know... I miss it too. I miss seeing you guys perform, I miss seeing the look in your eyes every time you take that stage," you murmured.
You knew he missed it, it was what he'd devoted most of his entire life to, it was one of the things he was most passionate about.
His music was a part of himself, and now that he didn't have it, Chris just seemed... at a complete loss.
It'd only been a week since he'd been released from the hospital, on the condition that he would take better care of himself and continue to be put on vocal rest until things were looking up again.
An entire week of staying in at an AirBnB you and the guys had taken the liberty of renting, an entire week of nothing but warm soup, hot tea, and lots of ice cold water.
It'd also been an entire week of Chris sneaking away with Ricky's laptop any chance he could get, practicing a sort of devotional commitment to watching any bit of media he could feed on, so long as it pertained to that week's tour.
A tour he should have been a part of...
On more than one occasion, you'd had to enlist Ricky's help with keeping Chris distracted, trying to keep his attention away from the source of both his joy and (unfortunately) current disappointment.
Today hadn't been one of those days; Ricky happened to be out when you needed him most.
But that was alright; maybe if this is what would help Chris feel like he was still a part of things, then... maybe it was for the best?
"Only a few more weeks, and then you'll be back up there, causing the crowd to go absolutely feral," you teased him, lightly nudging him with your elbow.
He gave you a look then, one perfect eyebrow raising, before he made a face at you.
"Oh, come on, you know I'm right," you grinned, trying not to laugh as you reached out towards Ricky's laptop, closing out the video and queuing up a new one.
This particular video was one that had quickly gone viral the minute it'd been posted, making the rounds on every popular social media site.
The video in question?
It was a video of Chris doing rather... suggestive... things with the microphone stand during a performance of their song "Werewolf".
You couldn't help but giggle as you nodded towards the screen.
"See? Only a few more weeks and then we can all enjoy that again," you teased him.
A quick glance up at him, and you just barely caught him giving you a roll of his eyes, although even he couldn't hide the smirk on his face.
"You people..." he whispered, shaking his head, though the smirk never left. As he took a sip of his tea, he reached forward and closed out the video still playing on the screen, a gentle sigh slipping past his parted lips.
"Only a few more weeks..." he repeated in a whisper. He took another small sip of tea, the silence between you two becoming almost something of a comfort- until he broke it.
"Can I ask you something?" Chris suddenly murmured, his voice still slightly hoarse from disuse.
You nodded, watching as he set his cup of tea down on the table in front of him, though his fingertips remained on its ceramic surface, toying with the rim of the cup as he gathered his thoughts.
"Rick- Rick said something to me the day after we had left the hospital, and it's been on my mind ever since. He told me that when I was admitted that night, when you found me like that- you refused to leave my side..."
He wouldn't look at you, his gaze instead fixed on that cup, his fingertips still lightly tracing the rim.
"He said that you hardly slept for those first few hours. And when we were getting ready to leave, he told me that he thinks you might be falling in love with me..." he continued.
Fuck... you'd had a feeling this moment was coming, and yet here you sat, completely unprepared for it.
You swallowed hard, the silence between you and Chris slowly growing more tense with each second that ticked by.
You could feel him watching you now, but you kept your eyes fixed in front of you, staring at the 'Esc' key on Ricky's laptop keyboard.
Ha... if only you could escape this conversation at the moment, wouldn't that be nice, right?
'Wishful thinking', your subconscious sneered at you.
You sighed, your eyes falling closed for a moment as you tried to gather your wits about you, until you felt Chris take one of your hands in his.
Your eyes flew open, meeting his, the solemn look on his face only making you more nervous.
"Tell me he's wrong...?" Chris prompted you in a whisper.
You took a deep breath in, letting it out in a sharp exhale, before answering him.
"Do you want him to be wrong?"
You could manage no more than a quiet murmur, your heart racing as you waited to hear his response.
There was a long beat of silence before Chris finally answered you, his gaze softening.
"No. I don't think I do."
Slowly, you nodded, your gaze dropping to land momentarily on your hand, still clasped within Chris's.
"He's right. I... I never meant for it to happen, I just- things became so easy, too easy. And these past few months, it just feels like it's been so much longer, but in a good way...? A very good way? And then you've been so nice to me, and I told myself I wouldn't fall for you, I can't, it's not right, I wouldn't do it..." you began to ramble.
"And then you did," Chris cut in softly.
"And then I did," you repeated, heaving a sigh.
"And now?" he breathed.
"And now I don't have a single fucking clue where it puts us," you answered.
"Chris, I'm scared. I- I don't know what comes next," you added in a solemn, trembling whisper, turning to stare up at him with wide eyes.
He gave your hand a gentle squeeze, before reaching out with his other hand to lightly brush his fingertips along your cheek.
"That's okay. Because I do," he spoke softly, one corner of his mouth lifting in a half-smile.
You waited anxiously, your heart thumping a steady, nervous staccato within the confines of your ribcage.
"You stayed. In the hospital, you stayed. These past few months, you never left, you stayed with me. Why?" he asked.
You kept your gaze steady on his, determined not to let him see just how badly he affected you, how nervous you were.
"You know why," you answered, your throat suddenly feeling dry.
He nodded, giving your hand another squeeze, his other hand now resting against the side of your face, keeping your attention on him.
"I do know. But I need to hear you say it."
Your heart thundered once, twice, in your chest, before you finally gathered up the courage to answer him.
"Why?" he repeated.
"Because I love you," you whispered.
And there it was.
The truth, the entirety of it, all encompassed within those four little words.
Because you loved him.
And you did... truly, madly, deeply.
You loved him more than you felt you ought to, more than you were probably supposed to.
Nothing would ever change that; nothing would change how close you and Chris had become the past few months, nothing would change the time you had spent by his side in that hospital room, waiting for him to recover.
"How long?" Chris suddenly spoke up.
You sighed in resignation, your brows furrowing as you offered him a rather rueful smile.
"A while. Since that first morning when you snuck me out of the bus with you to go and get coffee..." you admitted.
You took notice of the way one corner of Chris's mouth lifted in a smirk, his gaze growing soft.
"That long?" he teased.
You nodded, trying (and failing) to hide a faint grin.
"Always," you answered.
A moment of silence passed, before Chris suddenly pulled you into his warm embrace, circling his arms around you and holding you close to him.
You felt him rest his cheek against the top of your head, heard him loose a barely audible sigh of content.
"You could've told me sooner, you know. I think I sort of knew from the beginning," he murmured.
There was a brief pause before he continued.
"You were this little 5'-something with raw energy, no filter whatsoever, and you just... immediately fit right in. Everyone fucking loved you."
"Did you?" you couldn't stop yourself before it slipped out.
You could feel him smile against the top of your head, could hear it in his voice when he answered you.
"I did, yeah. Even tried to lie to myself and say that I wouldn't. But I did. It was just like you said, so easy. Weeks and months flew by, and then we had one of our first big headlining shows, and I think at that point... I knew.
"The way you fucking smiled at me before we went on, and then we came back after the show, and you were already standing there waiting for us, for me... I don't think I'll ever forget the way you looked at me that night."
"Looked at you... how?" you asked on a whisper.
"Like I was the only one in that break room. I've never seen you look at my bandmates the way you look at me. It's different, somehow. More... intimate, I guess?" Chris answered softly.
"Anyway, I think the guys noticed pretty quickly how much of my time I started spending with you. At least I think they noticed; they always seemed to come up with excuses and reasons for you and I to have time alone together," he continued.
Fuck. It all made sense now.
Why Ricky had been so calm that night, when you'd found Chris passed out on the floor.
Why anytime you and the guys were loading up or unpacking for a show, they'd ask you to see if Chris needed anything, to "go tell Chris everything's ready", "go find Chris".
They knew? All of them?
They knew, of course they did...
He knew.
Hell, he'd said it himself, he'd known from the beginning, he'd always known, that you loved him.
You shifted in Chris's embrace, and he lifted his head to meet your questioning gaze.
"If you knew from the beginning, then why...?" you trailed off in a confused murmur.
His answering smile made your insides flutter, made your heart stutter, the singular beats tripping over one another before they corrected themselves.
"Why'd I wait so long to tell you? I was hoping you'd pick up on it and say something before I did. But then months went by without you saying anything, and I guess I thought I'd been fucking hallucinating the entire thing all this time.
"And then that night in the hospital when Rick told me everything, I just... I knew I had to tell you, before someone better would come along and steal your heart like I wanted to, like I still want to..." Chris said softly.
You could feel the tears pricking behind your eyes, and you swallowed hard, fighting to keep them at bay, to hold yourself together in front of him.
It seemed a rather monumental task, one you failed miserably.
Chris reached out, gently brushing away the stray tear that had slipped free and spilled down your cheek.
"Y/N. I love you too," he whispered.
This was all suddenly too much, too fast- what were you supposed to do now, what-
"What do I-?" you started in a trembling gasp, Chris silencing you with a shake of the head and a gentle smile.
"All you have to do is say yes," he breathed.
It couldn't really be that easy...
Could it?
One little word is all it would take, and just like that, you'd be his, and-??
"Yes."
That one word, that singular syllable, came delivered on a trembling breath, your heart pounding furiously against your ribcage, as if fighting to work itself free.
The answering smile that lit up Chris's face, those warm brown eyes and the way they seemed to brighten a shade or two, it told you all you needed to know.
You'd made the right decision, an easy one.
Only... it had always been this easy, hadn't it?
All you or Chris would have needed was for one or the other to just... speak up.
Say something.
Say everything.
Whatever happened next would depend once again on you and Chris, but this time, it would be ever so simple.
Because he loved you as much as you loved him.
He always had....
Tumblr media
"I'm telling you, we only have five minutes left before we go out there, are you sure you're ready for this?"
It was only the third time his bandmate and closest friend had asked him this, and as much as he wanted to be annoyed, Chris couldn't bring himself to feel anything beyond... thrilled.
This was it, what he'd wanted.
Things were finally back on track, those last remaining weeks had seemed to fly by, almost too fast.
Weeks he'd spent curled up by Y/N's side, refusing to leave her just as much as she'd refused to leave him that night.
Which meant, of course, that within the span of only one day, his bandmates and the rest of their crew had figured out he and Y/N were together.
'Fucking finally!' his subconscious shouted at him, rather smug.
Chris couldn't help the grin that found its way onto his face now, as he stood there with his bandmates, ready and waiting to go out and do what he loved, what he'd been born to do.
He cast one final look over his shoulder at Y/N, her eyes meeting his as she gave him that look, the one she reserved for him and only him.
As the seconds ticked by, the crowd waiting outside only grew louder, and he wasn't quite sure if she'd be able to hear his shout of "I love you!", but fuck, she had heard it-!
And when she mouthed the words back at him and waved him off to go up on stage-
He'd remember this night for a long fucking time, he knew it as much as she did.
That night, as he took the stage with a proud grin on his face, he cast another final look over his shoulder, at the girl waiting for him in the wings, his girl...
And he turned back to face the roar of the crowd, Y/N's earlier suggestion leaping to the forefront of his mind-
"How the fuck are we doing tonight, LA? Feels so fucking good to be back here! We have a great show for you guys tonight, and I wanna start it off with one that's been kind of close to me these past few weeks. This one's called... 'Sick From The Melt'"...

I advise you not seek this content out. There's a reason I'm not linking it. It's full of abelism and gaslighting. But I just want to show you what I'm about to rant about because this woman is claiming chronic illness doesn't exist and women specifically are faking to get a diagnosis for attention. And she's claiming this is a mental health issue.
As a disabled person, I need to rant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first time I got a migraine. I was 10 years old. They were near constant. I know exactly how old I was because when I went to the doctor, he said it was probably the braces shifting the bones in my skull. They were called just headaches.
If you've ever had a migraine, you would understand that if you were experiencing this much pain, and you were told there was a way to make it stop, you GRAB that shit. I had my braces removed before my jaw was finished straightening because I shouldn't have had braces in the first place and my baby teen started falling out (very late, I know).
And when my adult teeth came in, I BEGGED my doctor to not give me braces again. And remember what I said earlier. If you're experiencing migraine level symptoms and you were told there was a way to make it stop. You grab that chance. Yes, my teeth are still fucked up. Yes, this leads to me dealing with chronic jaw pain.
You don't get how much pain I was in just... all the fucking time. My parents had to carry large bottles of advil with them at all times. Some of my earliest memories is being at a restaurant and my mom being like "I know this is weird but do you have any advil? I forgot to refill the bottle and my daughter is in too much pain to eat". Just from the migraine.
I was taking adult doses of pain meds with my doctors telling me to alternate Advil and Tylenol every 2 hours at the age of 10 (most meds say not for children under 12). Because migraine was not a diagnosis that existed.
When I was in high school, I finally did get a diagnosis from my PCP of "migraine". Idk if it ever went on the record but a was prescribed migraine medication. Which was essentially prescription strength advil and imitrex. There weren't exactly a lot of options back then.
And I again have specific memories of being in school. The ring of the fire alarm during a fire drill triggers a migraine. First thing I had to do when we went back in was go to the nurse and nurse had to call my parents and they had to bring my meds (special school rules the nurse needed the prescription bottle which would make it hard to have any at home). And the nurse was like "when's it gonna work?" And my mom was like "idk. If it does work it'll be like 30 minutes" and the nurse was like "Yeah we can't keep her here 30 minutes on a maybe. This is no place for a kid with a migraine. Take her home."
Throughout all this? I didn't consider myself disabled. Because I could still function. I wasn't missing too much school to pass. I was still able to pass my classes.
In college though it got really bad. I was missing 3 or 4 days of classes at a time because I couldn't hold down anything but water. There's weeks I did go to class that I just blacked it the pain was so bad. I got hurt from the vertigo regularly. It got so bad u finally sought it a migraine community just to try to understand what the hell was wrong with me and just so I had a place where I could vent. It sucked so damn bad.
And this community helped me immensely. They had a list of headache specialists which helped me find my doctor. They gave me a ton of treatment options to discuss with my doctor and they suggested vitamin supplements that I could also discuss with my doctor. It took a few years because I don't react to most common migraine meds, but a year out of college, I finally got a treatment plan that fucking helped. I live a pretty normal life now the only exception being the couple of hours it takes my meds to kick in.
And even through all of that, I hesitated to call myself disabled. I was still functional enough to graduate college without the ADA (but honestly I'd have done better if I had accommodations for all the time I had to miss). My migraines weren't frequent enough to be considered "chronic".
The only reason why I'm able to comfortably call myself disabled now is because of the invisible illness and spoonie communities. They were like "Your health issues impacting most of your life even though there's no physical symptoms? You keep missing important events duev to your health issues? You limiting what you do so to not impact your health issues? You're disabled."
Because I was so afraid of taking something away from physically disabled people by using the label. I'm still going to heavy metal concerts (yes they land me in bed for days after with a migraine). I can hold down a job and still semi-function (I'm privileged that I can get a remote job so if I can't get out of bed I don't need to call in. And I work for small companies that are more forgiving of health issues.)
Listen. I 100% believe in the spoonie movement with all my heart. But what people don't realize is that invalidating the spoonie movement invalidates people like me. People that have had pain since childhood that almost no medication can touch that's coupled with other neurological issues that is detrimental to our health. I was exercising every day, but I had to stop because there were too many days I couldn't hold down food. I was eating very healthy, but I had to stop because there were too many days where calories were more important than vitamins because again I was lucky if I could hold down food. The pain was so bad that there was gaps in my memory and I hurt myself but I couldn't remember how between the vertigo and the memory issues.
And yeah. My migraines don't affect me like that now. I'm on treatment where I don't "look disabled". I can function with the best of the abled people. But it took years of meds and trial and error with my doctor to get here. I'm functioning with the exact balance of person meds and activity levels to keep me found for the things I enjoy doing.
And I need people to realize that's what invisible disability is. Paralyzed person can't walk? They get a wheelchair. I can't go outside without spending the rest of my day bedbound from the bright light and heat? I get meds that help sooth the nervous system (honestly I don't know how the fuck my meds work but this is the equivalent of my "wheelchair")
Yeah! We look functional. That's the point. That's the entire point. Because before this we lost friends and failed classes because we couldn't get our of bed our body's failed us so hard. The only reason why abled people think we don't exist is because we literally couldn't leave the house. And online communities have allowed us to be seen on those worse days when we're normally hidden behind closed doors.
I was able to interact with people online yesterday with my migraine, when previously you wouldn't have been able to see that because I literally couldn't leave the house.

The Boy Next Door.
(No warnings needed, just mention of Dean's body ๐Ÿ˜œ)
You had just moved into your new apartment. After living with your brother and sister in law for the past 2 years after a fire had broken out at your old place, you had finally found the perfect place. It was only a couple of blocks from where you worked as a PA for a law firm.
As much as you loved living at your brother's place, you loved having your own space back. It had been a rough day at work and all you wanted to do was to get home, have a nice long bath and binge watch whatever series you had got hooked into lately.
Grabbing takeout and a couple bottles of wine on your way home, you were mentally planning out your night on the drive back. You grab your purse, takeout and the wine you had brought and made your way up to your apartment. Fishing your keys out your bag, you put the key in and to top off a shitty day your key snaps in the lock. "You gotta be fucking kidding me" you shouted kicking your door. You grabbed your phone out of your pocket and rang for the maintenance man that looks after your building.
After a few rings he finally picks up. You tell him what happened and he reassures you that he will get to you as quickly as he can, but he will have to go to the hardware store to pick up another lock. He said it could be an hour, two at the most because he was on another job. You hung up and slid down your door. You could smell your take out and seriously considered just shoveling in your mouth with your hands. But you resisted and opened the wine instead "thank god for screw tops" you said laughing to yourself.
Tumblr media
You weren't aware that your neighbour had come out and saw your tantrum against your door. He coughed to get your attention " hi you look like you need some help". Your head snapped up and you were met with the most gorgeous looking man you had ever seen. You were lost for words, I mean he was standing there half naked with just a towel hanging off his hips. Showing off his muscular physique, and those broad shoulders. "Do you need help or are just gonna sit there gawking" he said with a smirk.
You shook off all the thoughts that were swirling through your mind about what you wanted to do that body. You got up off the floor and noticed how tall he was. Damn he was tall. "Hi, erm yeah, my key snapped off in the lock so I'm just waiting for maintenance, sorry if I interrupted your evening" you were babbling, you never babble. But this guy, wow did he get you flustered, his wet hair sending drips down his torso, he had the most gorgeous green eyes you had ever seen.
"oh so your my new neighbor then, hi my name's Dean Winchester" he held out his hand, you placed your tiny hand in his, his whole hand engulfed yours. "Hi, yes I am, I'm y/n l/n, thanks for checking on me but I'll be fine, he said he'd only be an hour or two" Dean not letting go of your hand asked you "would you like to come and wait in my apartment, you can text him, let him know where you are. I promise I'm not a serial killer or psycho or anything like that" you gave him a weary look "that's exactly what a serial killer would say" you both started to laugh.
After Dean had put some clothes on, much to your disappointment, you both sat on the couch eating the take out. Dean gave you a glass for your wine whilst he grabbed a beer from his fridge. As you finished your food you got a message from the maintenance guy saying he would be at your apartment soon. You told Dean you were happy to wait outside "thanks for letting me take refuge in your home, it was sweet of you" you said to him "well I couldn't exactly leave you out there and let that food get cold could I". You both laughed and Dean walked you to the door. "thanks again Dean, ill be seeing you" Dean grabbed your hand "I'd like to see you again sweetheart, that's if you want to". you smiled shyly " well considering we live next door to each other I'd say wed be seeing quite a lot of each other, don't you?" Dean laughed "we sure will, would like to get to know you better" he said with a wink. Before you left you exchanged numbers with Dean "I'll call you" he said as you walked out of the door, the maintenance man walking by, "you could do that, or you could just come knock on my door" you said with a playful smile, a smirk tugging at Dean's lips as he responded "oh I will, you can count on it"
Tumblr media
I saw that gif of him in the towel (I know it's not dean, I think it's from dark angel??) and this load of babble just came to me lol ๐Ÿคฃ hope you guys enjoyed it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wandas POV:
I take a nice walk to the library it's nice out and I need to get out of the compound for a bit it was getting hectic in there some fresh air and a good book is what I need I take in all the sights along the way, feeling happy and content it's good to get out while I can, I start college in a little over a week and I've never really been to school before I'm smart really smart just never had the school setting so it's exciting but I have a feeling the work load will be a little stressful at the start before I know it I'm walking up the beautiful stairs heading into the library once I reach it I look around and smile a little as I take deep breath before wandering around isles looking for the perfect book I let my fingers skim over all the books as I walk along gently biting my lip in hopes of finding what I'm looking for.
Y/ns POV:
My eyes skim the books as I look for the book I'm looking for after a minute I spot it and smile I've been meaning to read this for the longest time I reach for To Kill A Mockingbird and gently pull it to me but feel a gentle resistance I look slightly confused as I stop and look through the gap and notice a stunning brunette at the opposite side I take the book and walk round to her side "hey I'm so sorry I didn't know you wanted this, here please you can have it first I don't mind waiting a few extra days to read it" I smile wide as I hand her the book and she accepts with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen "I don't mind if you want it first, I'm wanda by the way" she says reaching her hand out for mine I can't help but get lost in her beautiful green eyes as I take her hand shaking gently "I'm y/n it's nice to meet you wanda and honestly no its ok you read it first I can find something else do you maybe wanna go grab a coffee or something" I say with a smile as she nods shyly I quickly pick another book as we both head to check them out and head to the cute cafe across the street, I get us a table as we order our drinks "so do you come here often" I say making light conversation her eyes find mine as she plays with her rings "I've been twice now but I love it its good to come and relax I like to get a book to check out and spend a little time inside the library reading I feel like it's good to get a few hours of silence" she says honestly as the waiter brings our drinks I say thank you before turning my attention to wanda "I've been coming here for years and yeah I totally get what you mean I love coming in finding a nice spot and spending hours reading here" she smiles as I speak we spent the next few hours chatting getting to know eachother I have a feeling we're gonna be good friends, I find her insanely attractive but I know she'd never feel the same but she's an amazing girl from what I know and just getting to have her even as a friend is amazing "here take my hoodie you're shivering" I say handing my hoodie to her as we're sitting outside the cafe and it's getting late which makes me look at the time "oh my god wanda I'm so sorry I really have to go will you be ok getting home" I say getting up leaving some money on the table as she smiles "yeah ill be fine y/n thank you for today" I smile and we bid our goodbyes as I run to parking lot.

y/ns POV:
"Yeah mom I know listen I have to go I love you but if I don't leave ill be late for my first day back at college, ok bye I love you" I hang up the phone with a giggle as I grab my coffee and head to my car this is my second year back at college and I'm honestly so excited I make the quick 10 minute drive I got an apartment pretty close to the collage once I arrive I park up and grab my bag and phone I smile as I get out and see my 2 friends waiting for me "hey y/n" they both say excitedly as we all hug and walk to class chatting about what we done over break "guys hurry I really don't wanna sit anywhere near the front of class middle to back is fine" paige says as we all laugh and agree we walk in and sit 2nd row from the back as we fall into a comfortable chatter after 5 minutes we're silenced by our teacher he welcomes everyone back almost an hour into the class someone clumsily crashes through the door "I'm so sorry I'm sorry this is my first day I got lost" my eyes snap open to the voice no it can't be the teacher points her up to our row as I look at the empty seat beside me fuck she makes her way up to me as I look up at her and she looks at me a smile appearing on her face as she sits "it's you" I whisper "no way y/n hey" she whispers back before we get silenced I can't help but steal glances at her as we work once class is done we head outside I wait with paige and jade as they look at me confused "why are we standing here" jade asks "I met this girl at the library over a week ago we spent all day hanging out and she's beautiful and amazing and I'm waiting for her so if she's hanging out with us deal with it we have a new friend" they look at eachother and smirk while I look around for wanda I smile as I see her walk out "wanda hey over here!" She smiles walking over to me as she pulls me in for a hug I can't help but enjoy the contact and the smell of her hair is amazing "wanda these are my friends jade and paige, guys this is wanda" I say introducing them they all smile and say hello we spent the next few weeks together all of us hanging out jade paige and wanda quickly became friends too me and wanda hang out alone to spending time at the library or going for late night walks it was amazing.

"Yeah that guy Dan keeps asking me out and it's gross I don't think he understands the words I don't like men I like women" y/n says while laughing I can't help but feel a little jealous as I fake a laugh along with girls my feelings for y/n have grew so much stronger over the last few months when i first laid eyes on her I felt a connection but shook it off because she wanted to be friends and I wanted her in my life but when she talks about other people hitting on her or taking her on dates it upsets me it should be me "wanda you ok" jade says nudging my shoulder as I look at her "yeah I'm all good" I say faking a smile as I take a sip of my coffee "there's the waitress that always flirts with you y/n" paige whispersย  as she makes her way over to us "hey its y/n right? You guys come in here all the time" I feel my sadness and jealousy rising as y/n smiles and speaks to her "yeah what's up" she bites her lip and plays with her hair "I was uh just wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me I think you're breathtakingly beautiful" I see y/n blush as I look down nervously playing with my rings I think jade noticed I'm not sure though I don't think I can take hearing her answer "that could be fun you know what yes let's do it ill go on a date with you" as I heard her reply I stood up and put some money on the table as my eyes water I don't dare look at any of them "I uh I need to go" and with that I quickly run out of the cafe and start running along the side walk once I get a few stores away I slow down and walk as the tears spill from my eyes i should have made a move fuck "wanda! Wanda!" I turn and see y/n running after me once she catches up I look down "I'm fine y/n you have a date to go plan for" she stops me making me look up at her as she wipes my tears "whats wrong please tell me" I sniff and shake my head as she rubs my cheeks with her thumbs "is it because she asked me on date" I look at her and slap my hands against my sides "yeah, yeah it is OK I just I dont" I stop speaking due to the tears "wanda ill go back right now and cancel I'd rather spend time with you" I shake my head and start to walk "no y/n I'm fine why waste your time on a friend when she could be your future" she grabs my wrists and turns me to face her grabbing my cheeks gently "she's not my future my future is right infront of me" before I could let her words sink in she crashers her lips to mine in a kiss full of emotion telling us both what we've been to scared to tell eachother both of us pouring our everything into the kiss it feels like the world has stopped spinning and everyone else around us has stopped, once air becomes an issue we break away resting our foreheads together "wow" she breaths out as I smile "I have been wanting to do that since we met but I thought you only wanted to be friends" y/n confesses as I laugh a little "I've been the same and I thought you wanted to be friends" both of us fall into a giggle.ย
