⌲;꒰ Favorite Boy in the Valley. ꒱ ꒰ Pt.2 ꒱

Pairing :: Eli Moskowitz x Fem!Reader

Synopsis :: Kyler comes back to continue ridiculing Eli but luckily you're there

Includings :: Includings - S1!Eli no Hawk, established relationship, bullying, harassment, crying, cursing, threats, lots of PDA and just lots of fluff, short but sweet

An :: I'm so glad you liked the other one! I hope you like this one too ^^

Since your talk with Eli things had been back to normal and just the way you had loved it.

Your movie nights continued, he started walking you to and from classes again and he didn't mind PDA as much. He held your hands in the hallway and accepted any kisses you gave to him despite the looks the two of you would sometimes get.

He started to care a little less what others were thinking of him after your talk. He realized that as long as he had you, it didn't really matter because that others thought.

Which was why he was open to picking back up your after school study dates in the library, offering to help you study and work on some of your late work in the library after school even though you kept getting distracted.

You had barley made a dent in getting your work done when you had got up, saying that you needed a snack break.

"You want anything, hun?" You asked as you grabbed a few dollars from your purse and he had thought for a second as he wrote down the correct answer instead of yours.

"Skittles, and after this can you please focus? I want you to pass this class so can-"

You had placed a small kiss on his cheek, pulling away and smiling at his face which was starting to grow a faint shade of pink.

"The sour ones?" You asked, referring to his choice of candy and he had nodded quietly, looking back down at the paper.

You hummed, leaving the library and Eli had smiled down at the paper as he continued to correct you mistakes. He knew you were at least trying, math wasn't everybody's strong suite.

"I thought freaks left the school strictly at three."

His body tensed up at the familiar voice, his grip tightening around the mechanical pencil in his palm.

He kept his eyes on the page, hoping that if he ignored the boy for long enough he would grow bored and go torture somebody else.

"Yo, we're talking to you, freak." One of Kyler's friends hissed, slamming one of the textbooks shut, the slam echoing throughout the library which earned him a harsh glare from a couple of the students.

Of course, none of them cared care. Kyler walked over and grabbed Eli by his face and forced him to look up at him.

"Jesus Christ. I still don't get it." He shook his head as he stared the other boy down with a harsh glare. "Just how does she manage to kiss you without puking."

There it was again.

He felt tears pricking his eyes, his vision growing glossy as he tried to blink them away and he heard Kyler snickering in front of him.

"Are you crying? Stop being such a little bitch." Kyler let go of Eli's face, making sure to push his head back a bit as he did so with a smug smile.

"She's dating a freak and a crybaby? How low are her standards?" His friends snickered as Kyler titled his head with a narrowed gaze. He opened his mouth to speak again but a voice spoke up.

"Why are you guys talking to my boyfriend?"

They had turned their heads to you as you were holding a few snacks and a bottle of water. You placed them on the table beside your stuff as you looked at the three.

"Hello? I asked a question, so don't stand there and look stupid." You repeated, looking directly at Kyler who crossed his arms over his chest.

"We were just talking-"

"About what exactly?" You interrupted with furrowed brows, barely giving any of them a chance to muster up a response as you looked over to Eli.

"What'd they say?" You asked, trying to make your voice a bit softer since your were talking to Eli but your frustration was obvious through your tone.

He muttered something you didn't quite catch so you leaned a bit closer. "A bit louder for me, please."

He glanced away, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. "Just the same stuff as last time..look, it's not really a problem. Can we just lea-"

You had cut him off as you leaned forward to place a kiss on his lips, your lipgloss leaving a glossy residue.

And for good measure you had placed another one right on his scar with a small smile.

"We're not going anywhere. They can leave." You stated, turning your attention back to the three with raised eyebrows as you noticed they were still standing there.

"Can you guys hear? Get lost already, Jesus Christ. It's like you have nothing better to do." You rolled your eyes, waving the group goodbye.

It seemed that Kyler's two friends got the hint as they muttered something under their breaths and walked away.

"I just don't think I'll ever get it." Kyler scoffed, shaking his head as he stared at the two of you in disgust.

You shrugged your shoulders. "It's not for you to get, obviously. Why don't you worry about your own relationship that's falling apart?"

He scowled at you, narrowing his gaze into a glare before muttering; "Freaks." under his breath and turning on his heel but you heard it.

You stood back up from your seat much to the dismay of Eli who was urging you to sit back down so the two of you could finish studying.

"Say that again?"

"I said-"

Eli wasn't fast enough as you swung your fist at Kyler, hitting him straight in the nose. His hands flew up to cover it as he squeezed his eyes shut, tears pricking in the corner.

"You bitch! You probably broke my fucking nose!"

"Good." You scoffed, shaking your fist and squeezing it a bit and Eli had started to pack up your things before the librarian could ask what was going on.

As the two of you walked out of the library he noticed you wincing slightly as you touched your knuckles.

"I'll ice it when we get to my house." He reassured you as he grabbed your non dominant hand to hold it so you would stop poking at the other.

You smiled, placing a kiss on the back of his hand. "Aw, you're the best."

"Well, you did punch Kyler for me. I think you're the best." He hummed, copying your movements and placing a kiss on the back of your palm.

⌲;꒰ Wonka Welcome! ꒱

Pairing :: Willy Wonka x Fem!Reader

Synopsis :: There's a new bakery in town and Wonka stops by to give the owner a warm welcome.

Includings :: Slight spoilers, events happen after the movie, Wonka speaking nonsense/being illiterate, him pulling shit out of hat, slight flirting, this is really short (im just trying to dump my drafts), nothing but fluff

An :: "He's the worst Wonka" ok but he's the hottest so send requests!

"What's that you got there, Noodle?"

Willy questioned, brows furrowed but eyes full of curiosity as Noodle walked back into the shop. She had a small tart-like thing in her hand, a few crumbs dusted across her chin as she licked her fingers.

It was small yet colorful, some sort of filling under a few fruits as Noodle held it out to the brunette to take a bite.

"A tart."

He hummed, taking a bite from it and his eyes went wide as he hummed again after tasting it. The crust had a perfect crisp taste to it, the fruit each tasting perfectly ripe.

"Delicious! Did you make that all on your own? How? Where?"

Noodle shook her head as she finished the rest of it, wiping her fingers down on the bottom of her pants. "Not me. There's a baker, she just opened up across from us, don't know how you haven't noticed."

"What!?"

Will practically teleported over to the window, hands pressed against it like a child who was passing his shop for the first time. His eyes were glistening as he saw there was a Bakery shop positioned right across from him.

"Well, I think I ought to say hello! Give her a warm Wonka welcome!" He hummed, adjusting his top hat as he walked out the doors and across the street.

He looked up, eyes scanning across the shop's sign and he narrowed them a bit. Noodle had been continuing to teach him how to read but of course, he still had a few issues.

"[Mispronounced version of name]'s blissful bakes." He muttered to himself before pushing the door open, the sound of a bell chiming above him as he did so.

"Welcome! Menu's right above me and you can order when you're ready." He heard a soft voice chirp.

He walked a bit closer, seeing a girl wearing a simple outfit with a white apron that had red hearts printed all over it. Her hair styled in [hairstyle]/wrapped up. She was mixing something in a bowl before turning around.

She turned her head to Willy and he had felt his heart stutter for a second when their eyes had met and a smile automatically grew across his face.

"Oh! You're the Willy Wonka, right?"

"The one and only, ma'am!"

"It's so nice to finally meet you!" She set the bowl down, walking back to the front counter as she held out her hand. "I'm [Y/n]."

Oh. That's how it was pronounced, he thought it seemed a bit odd when he said it out loud earlier.

He took her hand, turning it so he could place a soft kiss upon the back of her palm. "A pleasure! I can't believe we haven't talked yet!"

"I'm a homebody. I don't roam around town too much unless it's to get here or more ingredients." She answered and he had nodded.

"Well, I believe a warm Wonka welcome is far overdue."

"A warm Wonka welcome? Just what is that?" She asked, smiling a bit out of amusement.

"This!" Willy exclaimed, taking off his hat as reaching his hand into it and pulled out a chocolate bouquet of flowers even equipped with a chocolate bow.

[Y/n]'s eyes widened with surprise as she smiled and took them, surprised that they weren't sticky at all but felt as if they had been in the fridge.

She had broke off one of the petals from the chocolate rose, popping it into her mouth. She hummed in satisfaction as she grabbed another.

"Oh my god. This is the best chocolate I've ever had."

"Thank you! I get that a lot." Wonka smiled and she had giggled, taking another bite of the bouquet.

"Please, let me give you a warm welcome as well. Choose anything and it's on the house."

The brunette tilted his head, brows furrowing a bit. "Why would it be on your house?"

"Huh?" Her expression matched his confusion as she shook her head. "No- that just means it's free!"

"Ohhh." His eyes scanned the menu, there were a lot of choices he honestly felt a bit overwhelmed. He finally decided, pointing to it.

"What're you pointing at me for?"

"Can I not have you?" He asked, his tone a bit playful as he leaned against the counter with a smug smile.

"Why don't you pick something actually on a menu?" She giggled, rolling her eyes playfully and he chuckled.

"Alright, alright." He hummed. "How about one of your tarts? One with strawberries, blueberries and kiwis."

"Alright, one tart coming right your way."

hey freaky ppl. my request is really simple bc i need to recover from this angst fic i read of sejanus LMAO

so i was thinking of peacekeeper sej and covey reader, but the way they meet is completely different. he would catch the reader sneaking off over the fence with a bag of supplies.

i’m thinking that someone at the covey had gotten ill and the reader was met with the task of gathering herbs needed outside of the fence.

i feel like sej would first be what any other peacekeeper would be and follow and be like “wtf are u doin” but then like he’d understand and let her keep running off into the woods and meadow. IDK I THINK THIS IS CUTE

Pairing :: Peacekeepers!Sejanus x Fem!Reader

Synopsis - Sejanus catches someone sneaking over the fence and tries to do his job ( he doesn't).

Includings :: Covey member!reader, sejanus hating his job AND being bad at his job, he has a soft spot for (everything) reader, horrible first impressions, mostly fluff, this is kinda short

An :: Sorry this took so long...jumping from fandom to fandom is NOT for the weak

Sejanus never truly wanted to be a peacekeeper, yes he wanted to help people but obviously not in this kind of way.

Peacekeepers were often cruel and stern, they stood their ground for what they stood for and their morals were aligned in a way that didn't quite align with Sejanus's.

But it was far too late to turn back, he already was at twelve and already buzzed his curls so he was stuck here with a job he hated. Not much could be done.

And Sejanus did try to do his job, he tried to be like his friend Coriolanus who was stern and took the job very seriously but of course, there were times where he struggled.

Like right now, he was frozen with confusion as he watched a girl with [h/c] hair scaling one of the fences. She had a dark brown bag around her shoulder. His brows furrowed even more as he wondered what was she doing.

But then he had to remember his job and how what the girl was doing was very much something he had to report.

No one was allowed beyond the fences because one, it was seen as dangerous because they were made to keep wild animals.

And two, it was seen as rebellious since at some point if anyone was able to get far enough they could leave the district and start their own life far far away from all of this mess.

Sejanus looked around, slight panic wavering in his eyes as he realized he was the only one who had noticed the girl climbing up and over the wall. She was almost out of his sight, her dark green skirt blending in with the scenery.

He cursed under his breath as he started to climb up the fence, hopping over it and looking in the direction of the girl. She seemed to be in a rush as she looked around the field.

"Excuse me! You know you're not allowed to be here, right?"

His voice seemed to have startled her as she jumped a bit, she looked him up and down quickly. She clenched the brown bag as he eyes glanced to the gun he was holding and he saw how she tensed up, her eyes growing wide.

She looked scared– no, terrified. Like a rabbit behind hunted by a fox.

That was another thing Sejanus hated about being a peacekeeper, no matter what he was always going to be feared because of that stupid uniform and the firearms they had to wield while on patrol.

It didn't matter how gentle he was as long as he was in uniform.

"Please...don't hurt me."

"Hurt you? I..I wasn't gonna- look, you're not allowed to be past that fence. I won't report you or anything, I swear. But you could get hurt or lost-"

"I know where I'm going." She had cut his worried rambling short, grip tightening on her bag.

His brows furrowed in slight curiosity. "And just where is that?"

"There's a few herbs down from here near a river." She replied. "I need to get them for a friend of mine...she's sick and we can't exactly afford medicine at the moment." She murmured the last bit but loud enough for Sejanus to frown.

He knew he shouldn't. He knew he should have done his job and escorted her back over the fence.

But of course Sejanus's heart always won over his brain so before he could even stop himself he had said;

"Alright. You can go."

A warm smile had spread onto the features of the girl in front of him, her eyes glistening with hope as she uttered; "Really?"

Sejanus nodded, looking over his shoulder just to be safe. "Yes, really. But, I have to walk with you and you need to make it as quick as possible."

"Deal! I'll be quicker than two shakes of a lamb's tail." She giggled and Sejanus couldn't help but smile as he followed beside her.

As they walked, Sejanus took small glanced over at her. Her sense of style didn't seem to fit twelve, everybody remotely dressed the same with mostly dull colors or neutral tones but she had a much more lively pallette with splashes of red, orange and yellow.

"Starings rude, you know."

He quickly looked away, pressing his lips together in a thin line as she had cracked another smile before laughing and playfully hitting his arm.

"I'm just playing around! Jeez, for a peacekeeper you sure are sheepish." She hummed as she looked up at him and he glanced back over at her.

"Yeah, I'm horrible at my job I know."

"I'm not complaining, just glad I got one of the good ones." She smiled before she realized they were near the river and she crouched down near one of the nearby trees.

Sejanus watched as she pulled out a small jar and began picking dark purple berries, careful placing them into the jar. He tilted his head a bit while he watched her like a curious child.

"Elderberries." She spoke and his brows knitted together before she continued to explain. "Help with the immune system. We crush em' and brew em' into a real sweet tea."

Sejanus nodded as he knelt down. "Can I help?"

"You really are different, hm?" She tilted your head up at him, giving a teasing smile. "Kind, thoughtful and helpful? Are you sure you picked the right job?" She asked as she handed him one of the small jars and he shook his head.

"I wanted to be a medic." He said as he carefully picked the berries, putting them into the jar and the girl beside him hummed in amusement.

"That's surprising. What made you change your mind?"

"A friend. I'm only here because of him, oh and a little bit of rule breaking back home.." He sheepishly admitted and she giggled, standing up.

"Well you are just full of surprises, huh?"

Sejanus shrugged with a smile as he placed the jar carefully into her bag. "Guess I am."

As the two had walked back to the fence, Sejanus had picked a perfect spot where there was no one on patrol at the moment. It was like she had never even went over the wall.

He helped her over it, giving her a small boost up before climbing over it himself and he dusted off his uniform as he placed her bag back in her hands and she hummed a 'thank you' as she put it back over her shoulder.

"Y'know, I hope we meet again. Under better circumstances, of course."

"Me too- wait, I never caught your name."

She giggled, turning on her heel. "I never threw it!"

|★|

It had been a couple of weeks since his run-in with that [h/c] haired girl. Weeks since and he hadn't seen her again, he hoped that meant that her friend had gotten well enough that she didn't have to sneak over the fence again.

He was still thinking about her as he sat with Coriolanus, sitting at one of the tables as he was watching Lucy Gray perform. He was never as wowed, mainly because unlike those in the capitol he grew to already appreciate music.

"Whoops! Coming through, Blondie!" A familiar voice giggled as a girl with [h/c] haired brushed past the two to set some drinks off at the table next to them and Sejanus's eyes widened.

The fence girl.

He immediately stood up and walked over to her and as soon as she had turned to face him her face broke into a smile which he copied.

"You again!"

"Me again."

She gave him a skeptical gaze yet there was a playful smile on his face. "Are you stalking me?"

"Yeah. And it was just so hard because you never tossed me your name." He sighed like a damsel in distress, shaking his head.

She had giggled, holding out her hand. "[Y/n]."

He shook it, keeping a gentle yet firm grasp on it. He thought that maybe being a peacekeeper wasn't all too bad now.

"Sejanus."

Pairing :: Johnny Cade x Fem!Reader

Synopsis :: Johnny starts to crush on Dally's new friend who's a little bit different from everyone else.

Includings :: Hippie!reader, mutual pinning, readers love languages is personal touch, wingman!Dally, panicking!Johnny, this is kinda short, fluff

An - I'm just trying to drop/finish my drafts even though i think this fandom is practically dead...send outsiders requests if you'd like though!

"I still don't get all that peace and love crap, it's not gonna solve anything." Dally scoffed as he walked beside the you and you shrugged your shoulders.

"You don't have to understand me. If you think fighting will solve everything I'll let you think that." You shrugged and Dally rolled his eyes slightly before his brows raised a little bit and he waved his hand up at a figure who was a few feet away.

"Johnny! That you, man?" He called out and the black hair boy froze like he was caught doing something illegal until he saw a familiar face and he eased up.

He walked over, looking over to the you. He took quick notice of your wardrobe, upi didn't look like too much like a Soc and you definitely couldn't of been a greaser.

You wore a white shirt that seemed a few sizes to big and bell bottom jeans that had multiple patches of different patterns along them and tan sandals. You had multiple necklaces on and a mute orange bandana.

You smiled softly at him and waved your fingers at him which made him stomach flutter a little bit.

"Aww, so you weren't lyin'! You do have friends~!" Yoi giggled, hitting the boy softly on the shoulder and the brunette rolled his eyes with a small snarl.

"Haha, so funny. Johnny, flower power. Flower power, Johnny."

"Flower power?" Johnny repeated as he shook your hand and you let out a short giggle which made his stomach flutter all over again.

"Not my real name of course, it's a nickname. My real name is [Y/n] but you can call me whatever ya' like."

"Ohh." Johnny nodded along, noticing how you still hadn't let go of his hand. Yours were warm and felt comfort at touch. "I...uh..I like your pants."

You beamed, letting go and shaking your leg a little. "Really? Dally thinks they look like an art project gone wrong."

"Because they do." Dally muttered and you rolled your eyes.

"I think they're far out, you're such a downer Dally! Hah! Downer Dally!" You laughed and Dally had let out a sarcastic chuckle with another eye roll. "Ahah. Almost busted a lung there."

"See? A downer. Johnny-man thought it was funny." You turned back to Johnny, messing with one of the loose patches on your jeans. "I could make ya' a pair- actually they probably wouldn't be your sty-"

"I'd like that!" Johnny piped up before you could shut the idea down and your eyes widened in surprised, you smiled at him. "Really?"

He nodded, smiling growing along with yours. "Groovy! I'll get onto it as fast as I can."

"Groovy?" Johnny repeated, tilting his head a little bit and you nodded. "Groovy, it's kinda like when y'all say tuff. It's just a good thing."

"Oh, groovy." Johnny said and you had giggled, patting his shoulder.

"You make it sound so weird like it's a different language or something. It's kinda cute." Johnny only smiled, trying to ignore the fact that you had called him cute.

Dally looked between the two of you, narrowing his eyes a little bit before a small smirk itched onto the end of his lips.

"Johnny, you wanna tag along with us? We were just about to head and see that new movie that just came out."

"You should, if you don't mind horror movies." You added and Johnny pressed his lips together in a small yet strained smile.

"Naw, I don't mind."

★

"I could have paid for y'all, you know. We didn't have to break in." You sighed and Dally chuckled.

"Now where's the fun in that?" He hummed as they all took their seats, a little bit away from the front.

"What kind of horror movie is it again?" Johnny asked and Dally shrugged his shoulders. He never really came to pay attention to the movies, he came to be a bother to those who were trying to.

"Some sort of slasher. Shouldn't be too frightening if you're scared."

"I'm not scared!" Johnny squeaked and you had giggled, leaning back in the chair.

"It's alright if you are. I wouldn't judge. You can even hold my hand if you want." You offered as the movie had and started. Johnny pursed his lips before he took your hand in his.

"I'm just holding yer' hand in case you get scared." He established and you had nodded, entwining your fingers with his their hands were basically locked together.

He smiled at that as he tried to focus on one thing.

Not looking like a scaredy cat.

But the movie was barley ten minutes in before Johnny had jumped back in his seat from the killer jumping out of nowhere, his scream muffled in the collar of his jean jacket.

He glanced over at you as he felt you squeeze his hand comfortingly. "Sorry.." He mumbled, his sunkissed skin growing warm from embarrassment.

"Don't apologize. You don't have to act all tough for me, Johnny. It's a horror movie for a reason." You reassured with a small smile as you moved closer to him, resting your head on his shoulder.

"Next time we can see something a little more relaxing."

"Next time?" He repeated like it was a foreign statement.

You nodded excitedly. "Yeah, next time! Do ya' not wanna see me again or something?"

"No!" Johnny quickly said. "I'd.. I'd love to see a movie with you again."

"Groovy."

Characters :: John "B" Routledge, JJ Maybank, Pope Heyward, Rafe Cameron.

Synopsis :: You ask your boyfriend to do a simple task for you just to see if he will.

Includings :: Short drabbles, established relationships, acts of service, nicknames, just lots of fluff, maybe ooc Rafe

An :: Just because I think this trend is adorable

« J. Routledge »

"JB, can you pick out the pomegranate seeds for me? I don't like how sticky it is."

John B glanced back over at you as he stated at the Pomegranate and his lips press together in a thin line.

"Why didn't you get it in the cups? Where it's already all seeds?" He asks and you shrug, still holding the fruit out.

"It's sweeter this way. Please?"

He doesn't want to do it, not because he just doesn't want to; but because he doesn't really know how to peel a pomegranate.

But he nods with a smile as he grabs it from you and moves to grab the cutting board. "Of course, baby."

|★|

« J. Maybank »

"JJ can you pretty please with cherries on top peel this orange for me?"

JJ chuckles a bit as he raises his brows in slight amusement, tilting his head towards you.

"What? Can't peel it on your own?"

He snickers, sort of making fun of you and you just shrug, holding it out to him again and he rolls his eyes playfully as he takes it from you.

He digs his nails into the skin of the fruit as he peels it back. He's a bit messy with it, but he gets the job done.

He takes one of the slices, popping it into his mouth and hands you the rest.

"There. Is there anything else of yours that I can peel off?"

|★|

« P. Heyward »

"Pope! Tie my shoe, please."

"Of course." Pope hums and stops right in his tracks, he doesn't even question it or give you a confused look.

He gets down on his knees, patting one for you to place your shoe on his knee and he brings your hand to his shoulder to use as leverage.

He smiles as he ties your shoe, a simple task that he knows you could have done yourself but he doesn't mind doing it for you.

He taps your other shoe so both of them are tied the same and have less of a chance of untying without you even having to say anything.

He finished both shoes and dusts off his knees as he grabs your hand, entwining it with his and he places a kiss on your temple.

"There. Anything else you need?"

|★|

« R. Cameron »

"Rafee! Can you reapply my lipgloss?"

Rafe looks over at you, not quite hearing you the first time so he walks over to you, leaning his golf club against the golf cart where your seated.

"What was that, princess?" He hums when he finally got close enough and you hold out your [f/color] lipgloss tube.

"I asked if you could reapply my lipgloss for me."

He's amused and a bit astonished at your request because it's so simple for you to do it yourself. He even narrows his gaze at you a little bit and you only smile.

"Are you fucking with me?"

"So is that a no?"

He inhales deeply and sighs, grabbing it from you. "Fine."

Rafe grabs your face softly to tilt your head up as you pucker your lips at him and he applies the lipgloss to your top and bottom lip in a fresh glossy coat.

"There. All better now?"

You nod, smiling and he can't help but smile back as he places a kiss on your lips and you groan that he messed it up.

He only shrugs and leans back in for another.

⌲;꒰ Drunk words are just sober thoughts. ꒱

Pairing :: JJ Maybanks x Fem!Reader

Synopsis :: You and JJ are best friends. Nothing more, nothing less. At least, that's what you thought.

Includings :: CW for EMETOPHOBIA (puking and talk/mention of it), best friends to lovers, mutual pinning, jealous!JJ, drinking, almost violence, pogue!reader, drunken confessions, hangovers, mostly fluff, kisses.

An :: Finally got into Outerbanks so I'm obvi taking requests!

You and JJ had been best friends for as long as anybody could remember despite how the two of you were kind of opposites.

JJ was a wild card, there was no telling what he would do in any given moment. He was rambunctious and impulsive. It seemed that no matter where he went trouble liked to follow.

You were the perfect balance to that, you were careful and logical. If there ever was an issue you were quick to think of a way to get him out of trouble or to at least keep him out of it as long as you could.

The two of you were a perfect duo, balancing the other one out. And you weren't total opposites all the time. You sometimes gave in to his stupid ideas and he sometimes followed your advice when brewing up a particularly horrible idea.

The two of you were also the most well known duo in the OBX. You were almost always together. Wherever one of you were, the other one couldn't be too far away.

So everybody was a little, if not a lot confused when JJ arrived at the Boneyard for another party that John B was hosting and you weren't at his side or on his back.

Pope's brows furrowed as the blonde grabbed a beer from one of the coolers, popping it open as he took a seat next to him. "Where's [Y/n]? I thought she'd be trailing behind you as soon as you got here or vice versa."

"She had to take somebody's shift." He replied, his tone having a bit of bitterness to it before he took a couple of sips from the bottle.

"And why do you seemed more pissed than you should be about it?"

"It's with Chris."

Pope nodded, it seemed that almost everyone was aware of JJ's true feelings towards you except for you. It was ironic and honestly funny if it didn't seem to cause JJ so much distress.

"Chris again, huh?" And JJ had rolled his eyes, setting the now empty bottle aside. "Yeah, Chris again. It's like witchcraft how they always work the same shifts. Even surprise ones."

Pope shrugged his shoulders as he watched the boy grab another drink. "She's probably not into him man, I wouldn't stress it. And if she was, don't you think she would say something about now?"

JJ only shrugged as he downed the second bottle of beer.

When you finally did arrive to the party you had Chris attached at your hip and JJ was on his fifth bottle of beer. A mixture of events that was bound to end in disaster.

JJ's nose scrunched up as he looked at you and Chris exiting from your car, his lips turning into a scowl as he watched the ginger rush around the car to help you out from the driver's side.

"Great. She brought him with, he should know he's not wanted here." JJ murmured to Pope and John B who were trying to coax him out of grabbing another drink. Pope muttered. "Everyone's allowed to be here technically..."

JJ rolled his eyes again as Kie made her way over to the two. Kie grabbed a water bottle that was deep down in the cooler, buried under a couple of beers. She twisted the cap and looked over to the blonde. "What's wrong with him?"

"His girl came here with her coworker and now he's all jealous." John B said and JJ narrowed his eyes at him. "Not my girl." He muttered which caused the group to roll their eyes.

"Well you better fix your face because here they come."

JJ almost crushed the can in his hand as he saw you walking over with Chris, holding on to his arm as you brought him over to your four friends. And you were giggling, just what could be so damn funny?

"Look who finally decided to join us and with a plus one." John B hummed, holding out a bottle/can of [f/drink]. You smiled, humming out a 'thank you'.

"Oh right, this is Chris. Chris this is John B, Kie, Pope and JJ!" You introduced with a wide smile on your face, trying to ignore how JJ seemed to to be glaring into Chris's soul.

If looks could kill the ginger would be six feet under.

Nonetheless Chris gave a smile as he waved to everybody. "It's nice to finally put a face to all these stories [Y/n] tells. Especially you, she talks about you the most." He said, gesturing to JJ.

"Oh really?" JJ hummed, a smile on his face that seemed to mock the one that Chris had. "Good things, I hope."

"If having a killer right hook is a good thing, totally." The ginger chuckled and JJ got up and nodded his head with a small chuckle. "Yeah. That's me. You wanna see it in action?"

Chris's brows furrowed and before he could fully understand the question you had grabbed JJ's right hand which was balled in a fist and gave a strained smile to the boy.

"I'm gonna take JJ home, he's had a bit too much to drink tonight. He doesn't think straight and ends up making extremely dumb choices." Your tone grew harsh at the last two words, sending a glare to JJ as your grip tightened around the his wrist.

Chris nodded, brows furrowing a bit. "Oh, okay! Are you coming back?"

"Probably not..unless you need a ride back home?" You offered.

"No, it's fine. Stay safe and uh..it was really nice meeting you JJ!"

"A pleasure." The blonde hissed as you dragged him away to your car.

You opened the car door, pushing him into the car's passenger side as you reached over his chest to put on his seatbelt which he mumbled something under his breath about them being stupid.

You ignored his mumbling, sitting in the driver's side as you drove away from the Boneyard. You took your time, not wanting to drive fast and upset the boy's stomach but just in case you kept the window down.

"I don't like Chris."

JJ finally spoke after the entire ride of silence until you pulled up to your home and helped him get out of your car. You were lucky your parents had been out for the night so JJ could stay over just until he was sober and his soon to be hangover hit.

"And why is that? He hasn't done anything to you." You retorted as you helped him up the stairs, walking as slow as possible since he almost fell face first when you attempted to rush up them.

He was about to argue as he leaned against the banister but his breath was coming out in short huffs and he was holding his stomach. Your eyes widened as you rushed him to the bathroom.

You quickly flipped on the light he rushed to hang his head over the toilet bowl.

You grabbed the few strands of his sunkissed blonde locks, holding his hair back as he emptied most of what he had drank out into the toilet.

You would have cringed, wanting to puke yourself but since this wasn't first time you had taken care of JJ when he got drunk like this you had basically grown use to it.

You patted his back with your free hand as his head leaned back over the toilet to throw up again. "Mhm... there you go." You hummed.

When it seemed that he was finally finished you wiped his mouth with a warm face towel and got him a pair of clothes to change into, one of the many pairs he kept at your house since you insisted it would come in handy.

And per usual, you were right.

He had changed into a random graphic tee and a pair of sweatpants, tucked into your sheets with your soft covers thrown over him and the fan on it's highest setting since he complained about his skin burning.

You left, shortly coming back with a bucket next to the foot of the bed just in case he had anymore to puke out in the middle of the night.

You left the room again to grab him a cup of water and aspirin. JJ mumbled something incoherently as you handed him the aspirin and he quickly swallowed them then downed them with the water.

He pulled the cup away from his lips but you shot him a glare.

"The whole thing, JJ." He groaned again and reluctantly drank the rest. He set the empty cup by the counter, getting back comfy under the the covers.

"I hate him, y'know."

"Who?"

"Chris."

"Oh we're back to this." You hummed, moving a few strands of his hair from his face and he nodded as he leaned into your touch.

"Why don't you like him? Tonight was the first night you even met him." You questioned with a small frown and JJ didn't seem to care as he huffed.

"Don't care. He's trying to take you away from me. Did you see his hands all over you?"

"It's time to go to bed now." You said, ignoring his complaint. You could talk about this when he was in a much better headspace. As you tried to pull your hand away from his hair but he grabbed your wrist in attempts to keep you there.

"Wait! Please don't go.."

"I'll just be downstairs on the couch like any other night." You reassured, confused at his sudden clinginess. He shook his head again.

"Please. I don't wanna be alone right now. I..I love you. That's why I really hate Chris or any guy you talk about honestly." He continued.

"Jealousy is so gross, wish there was some sort of medicine for it..." Word vomit. Much more easier to stomach than actual vomit but you new it was just him drunkenly rambling although this was the first he confessed he loved you.

"JJ. You're drunk. You don't love me, you're just saying whatever right now. We'll talk about this in the morning, if you even remember." You pulled your hand from his, putting the covers back over his body.

"When I'm sober and say it, will you believe it?"

"Mhm. Sure. See you in the morning." You muttered, obviously not paying attention to anything else that was leaving his lips as you left your room.

|★|

JJ groaned as he woke up, rubbing his head before he ran his fingers through his hair to get the stands out of his face. His head was pounding as his eyes squinted from the sun peaking through the blinds.

The smell of something cooking filled his nostrils as he scratched the back of his head and tried to remember the events of last night.

Then everything hit him like a freight train as he sprinted to the kitchen.

He saw you standing in front of the oven and making pancakes, his favorite hangover remedy food. You looked over your shoulder and smiled.

"Well good morning, sleeping beauty! Asprin's on the table. You can take them after-"

"I love you."

There was a moment of silence as he got closer to you and he spoke a little louder.

"I love you, [Y/n]. I meant it last night and I really mean it now." He restated, only putting a few inches of space between the two of you.

"So you were serious?" You asked and he nodded his head so fast you were sure it could've fallen off.

"Yes! C'mon! You said you would believe when I'm sober! Do you not feel the same? Because if you don't I'd like for you to save me the em-"

You grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him closer to you as you pressed your lips against his and his eyes widened in slight surprise before he leaned into the kiss to reciprocate it. You smiled against his lips before pulling away.

"I love you too JJ." You placed another kiss on his cheek before muttering; "Now go take a shower, you smell like fucking a morgue."

"Yes, ma'am." He chirped, giving you a two finger salute as he walked back up the stairs towards the bathroom.

I. Sword Training.

The sun dipped down low, casting a warm golden hue over the training arena. Everybody was soaking in the nice weather which Luke seemed was the perfect weather to be outside and work on some sword fighting skills.

Unfortunately, Percy the one who was sparing with Luke on this oh so wonderful day and he wasn't exactly going easy on him.

The blonde huffed, dodging one of Luke's attacks as he stumbled back a bit almost tripping over his own two feet. He had clenched onto his sword a little tighter as he wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.

Percy stood back up straight, getting into position until his ears perked up at the sound of a familiar voice followed by a very familiar giggle that send butterflies straight to his stomach.

He had turned his head so quick it was a surprise he hadn't somehow got whiplash. His gaze softened, a smile growing onto his features as he saw you.

You were helping braid one of the Athena girl's hair so that it would stay out of her face while training. You looked concentrated yet welcoming, a wide grin on your face as your hands were clad with rubber bands and bobby pins.

He knew that Luke should have been his main focus, he was the best in the camp so it probably would have done him some good to focus on him but it was like he couldn't look away from you. The way the sun casted onto your body, filtering it perfectly like some sort of professional picture.

You looked like some sort of angel that had been placed there by random, just to admire.

Percy didn't realize how long he had been staring until you were scanning the training arena while finishing up on the braid of the Athena girl then your eyes had met his.

His eyes went wide for a second, fearing that somehow you could sense that he had been admiring you and you were now weirded out by him.

But you had simply smiled and gave the boy a wave which he had mirrored.

Before he could even enjoy the short interaction between the two of you he felt his feet being swept from under him, his face meeting the ground a few seconds after as his sword clattered next to him as he groaned.

"Pay attention." Luke scolded, a small smug smile on features as he looked between the two of you.

Percy's face grew slightly pink as she stood up, dusting himself off. He quickly looked back towards you, seeing that your lips were pressed together as if you were trying not to giggle which only made his face grow warmer.

Percy Jackson: 0

Embarrassment: 1

"Word of advice," Luke reached out his hand to help Percy up, pulling him up from the ground as he helped him dust off himself.

He chuckled, handing him back his sword as he rose his eyebrows in your direction. "Worry about your opponent, not your little girlfriend."

"Shhhh! Shut up! Shut up! She is not my girlfriend!"

Luke chuckled, putting some space between the two of them. "Not yett!" The dark haired boy hummed in a sing-song tone and Percy rolled his eyes, looking back over his shoulder to look at you.

He gave a slight nervous smile and you gave him a thumbs up of encouragement, clapping your hands shortly after and he chuckled.

Then he ate dirt again.

Percy Jackson: -1

Embarrassment: 2

II. Jewelry.

Percy didn't know a lot about girls, but he did know that they usually like jewelry.

Weather it be grand or small, most of the girls at the camp had a statement piece of jewelry. And literally everybody wore those beaded necklaces so there had to be a small chance that you would like his gift.

Or at least he hoped.

Percy paced nervously, clutching a small box in his hand. He looked down at it, rubbing his thumb along it as he took a short breath in and out to calm himself.

Finally finding enough courage, Percy approached you who was relaxing under the shade of a tree. A small bowl of grapes next to you as your eyes were focused on your book.

"Uhm..hey, [Y/n]," Percy greeted, his heart pounding in his chest as his grip grew tighter around the small box.

You had looked up from your book, placing your bookmark in its spot and smiled up at the blonde. "Hey, Percy! What's up?"

"I uh, got something for you. I'm not too sure if you're a huge jewelry person but it was pretty and made me think of you, so.." He trailed off, realizing that he was going to start rambling so he just handed the box to you.

Your brows raised at the small box, untying the bow from it before you slid off the top and a small gasp left your lips.

It was a [gold/silver] bracelet with a grape vine pendant. The amethyst like jewels and beads shining in the light. Your smile had grew as you stared in awe at the bracelet for a short while before looking back up at Percy.

"This is the cutest thing, you really shouldn't have." You giggled, putting the bracelet on around your wrist and adjusting it to your likings. Percy's smile grew as he saw yours, it was a gift how contagious your smile was.

"It was nothing, really. I thought you'd like it.." He replied with a small shoulder shrug, watching as you rubbed your fingers over the main grape piece of the necklace.

"Like it? I love it, I'm never taking it off!" You stated, wrapping your arms around Percy and pulling him in for a tight hug which he savoured for the small amount of time it lasted.

Percy Jackson: 1

Embarrassment: 2

III. Flowers.

"You can never go wrong with flowers as a gift! Everybody loves a pretty bouquet!"

Was the advice he received from one of the girls from the Demeter cabin. She had even agreed to help pick out a few flowers so that the bouquet would look neat.

He approached Cabin twelve, swallowing the lump in his throat. He took in a small breath as he clenched onto the bouquet with one hand, the other knocking against the door.

He rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet, his eyes scanning the lilac exterior of the cabin. It had more than a few overgrown grapevines growing freely along it. It was a wild touch to the cabin that he liked.

Percy turned his head back to the door as he heard it creak open followed by your familiar yet warm giggle.

"Well if it isn't my favorite boy from cabin three! What do I owe the pleasure?" You hummed, leaning against the doorframe and he couldn't help but chuckle, his ears growing warm because he was the only boy from cabin three.

"I uhm..I was out and picked these for you. Maybe you could use them as decoration or.. something.." He trailed off, holding out the bouquet before he started rambling.

Your eyes lightened as you took the bouquet from him and smelled them, inhaling the scent from each flower. "First a bracelet, now flowers? You're too sweet."

Percy Jackson: 2

Embarrassment: 2

"And they're such beautiful flow-achoo!"

"Bless you."

"Thank y-achoo!" You sniffled, brows furrowing a bit as you looked back at the bouquet, eyes now narrowing in slight skepticism.

"Percy what flowers or-achoo! Plants are in this bouquet?"

"Uhm.." Percy's brows furrowed, his eyes narrowing as he tried to remember all of the flowers that the Demeter girl had told him to grab. "Dandelions, Daisy's, lavender-"

"Percy, I'm really really-achoo! Sorry, but I can't accept this. I'm-achoo! Allergic to lavender...makes me break out and-achoo!"

Panic washed over Percy as he realized his mistake. "[Y/n], I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were allergic," He exclaimed, scrambling to grab the bouquet from the girl.

Despite her sneezing fits, [Y/n] managed a small, understanding smile. "It's okay, Perc-achoo! I appreciate the gesture! It really was-achoo! Sweet!"

He put the flowers at a distance from you, brows drawn up in worry. "Want me to get you some Benadryl and ointment? The Apollo kids might have some at the medic center."

You sneezed into your elbow, nodding shortly as you sniffled.

"Okay! I'll be right back, again I'm so so sorry!" He apologized, walking away from the cabin as quickly as he could do that he could discard the bouquet and retrieve the allergy medicine.

Percy Jackson: 1

Embarrassment: 4 (Bonus points for almost killing your crush!!)

IV. Apology gift basket.

Everyone knew that all Dionysus kids loved grapes, they usually all had a sepfific drink they were drawn to but everyone could agree they enjoyed grapes or grape flavored things.

It was almost comedical how many times someone could see them chewing on a couple or sipping grape juice from one of those small juice boxes.

So in attempts to make up for the last gift and also an apology, Percy decided that he could just make you a cute gift basket of all your favorite grape related things along with other stuff.

There was no way he could mess this up.

So here he was again, approaching the pale lilac door of the Dionysus cabin (that he was pretty sure had more vines than the last time he stopped by) and trying not to let his nerves show as his hands were shaking.

He rose his fist to knock against the cabin door and he waited until it had opened but this time it wasn't your face that greeted him.

It was one of your sisters who had snickered slightly. "Well if it isn't the boy that tried to kill our sister. Here for round two, fish face?"

Percy's lips pursed into a thin line. "Hah. Look, it was an honest accident. I just wanted to bring her this as an apology." He said and your sister looked him up and down and before she could even open her mouth to make another joke at his expense he saw your head pop from beside her.

"Percy!" You smiled warmly, patting your sister on the shoulder who moved away from the door as you replaced her spot.

"Just can't get enough of me, huh? I feel like I've seen you everyday this week." You commented an Percy's face felt warm as you pointed that out. Had he been too clingy this week and was that throwing you off in anyway? Maybe you found him weird. Especially after the whole flower murder attempt.

"It's sweet, don't get me wrong! I love seeing your face, you're very easy to repetitively see! If that makes sense at all..." You reassured, somehow being able to sense the worry that was spreading across his fingers and he smiled in relief.

"Oh okay, good.."

"Is that another gift for little ol' me?" You asked, pointing to the dark purple basket which seemed to have more things that were multiple shades of purple inside of it.

"Uhm...yeah it's an apology for the other day." Percy said, holding out the basket to you and you smiled softly as you took it from his grasp.

"Aww you didn't have to do that! Seriously, I'm not upset about it. I know you wouldn't have gave me them if you knew." You hummed, looking at everything that was in the gift basket. Cartons of grape juice, green grapes, purple grapes, bracelets, amethyst charms, a couple of your other favorite snacks.

"I know.." The blonde sighed. "But I just really wanted a do over. Which is why, I got you these.." Percy moved his arm that was hidden behind him and holding out a another bouquet.

"And, I asked around to triple check so it's one hundred percent allergy proof!"

The bouquet was just as neatly put together as the last yet this one seemed less wild with only two types of flowers, indigo hyacinths with ivory baby's breath littered between them. Wrapped to stay together in a beautiful white bow.

You leaned to smell them, Percy getting that feeling of deja vu as you smiled down at the bouquet.

"I think this might be cuter than the last. And just like you promised." You took another small from the bouquet, your warm smile never leaving your face. "Allergy free!"

Percy Jackson: 2

Embarrassment: 4

V. Birthday party surprise.

Percy learned very quickly that the Dionysus cabin had the mentality of 'Go big or go home.' so when your birthday came around he was surprised to see your brothers and sisters going the extra mile. Grover was out with you, trying to keep you distracted for the afternoon by taking you on a 'quest'.

The entire afternoon the camp was buzzing with laughter and conversations of how the night would go.

The entrance of the mess hall was decorated with lilac ribbons and streamers, a large banner in front of it with the words 'Happy Birthday, [Y/n]!' in pretty letters.

The mess hall was decorated with dark purple tarps along each table, a few small violet flowers placed at each table by the Demeter kids. There were two tables specifically for bowls of food. It had your favorite types of fruits, snacks, chips and a pretty [f/flavor] cake decorated by one of the Iris kids.

Percy had never seen so much purple all in one space, he didn't know whether it was creative or an eyesore but he kept that to himself as he was helping set up the rest of the snack table.

As he was doing so he overheard one of the Demeter boys, Atlas, talking with one of his brothers.

"Yeah, I was thinking about asking her out. Today would be perfect, huh? Right on her birthday!" He hummed as he set up a few more of the small violet flowers.

Percy glanced at the two from the corner of his eye as he finished setting up the table, brows furrowed a bit in slight disgust.

"I don't know, her and Percy seem pretty close."

"Nah. Hey, Percy!" He called out and Percy turned his head to him, trying not to show his frustration through his features as his hand gripped around the bag of chips. "Yeah?"

"Are you and [Y/n] dating?" The brunette asked and he bit down on the inside of his cheek, hard. He wanted to say yes more than anything but that would be him lying and being delusional.

"No, but she won't want anything to do with you." He said, poison dripping from his sour tone. The boy only chuckled as he place a few of the flowers down. "And you think she'll want something to do with you?"

"What's that supposed t-"

"Guys, cmon! She's here!" One of the girls from the Iris cabin exclaimed, eyes scanning around the mess hall to make sure everything looked nice.

Percy shot a small glare towards Atlas before heading towards the front of the mess hall with everybody else. Everybody was attempting to shush everybody as they heard a familiar voice.

"I just didn't get that quest, why did he want us to go out and get a-"

"SURPRISEEE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, [Y/N]!! "

You had jumped, a bit startled as everybody jumped from each side of the mess hall entrance, a few party poppers filled with confetti being shot your way with the sound of kazoos and happy hoots.

A large smile made it's way on to your face as you shook a few pieces of confetti from your body. You giggled. "Aw, guys! You shouldn't have!"

"Yes we did!" One of your brothers hummed, strapping one of those stupid little birthday cone hats on your head. "Come on, we have all your favorites!"

"Even [weird snack]?"

"You'll be the only one eating it. Well, you and Percy."

You smiled towards the blonde and he returned it. "Did you know they were planning all this too?"

He shook his head. "I just found out about it today. Not your birthday, obviously! I knew it was your birthday, I just didn't know they were planning all this."

"Yeah, they do the most whenever they get the chance. Just want until yours I bet we'll try to find a way to get a water park in the camp." You giggled and he shook his head with a snicker.

"I would only want one thing for my birthday."

"And what's that?"

Before Percy could give his answer you were pulled away.

He sighed, he would get a chance before the evening and night came to an end or at least before Michael could get a word in.

It turned out that it was a lot harder than he thought it would be. Every time he thought he had a chance to talk to you were swept away by somebody else. They weren't joking when they said Dionysus kids knew how to plan a party, it was lively the entire time.

It was near what Percy assumed what almost eleven when things started to get more calm. Most heading to their cabins to catch some shut eye. (The Hypnos kids tapping out earliest.)

He finally had an opportunity as you were getting yourself another slice of cake. He took in a deep breath and approached you.

Until the front of his shoe snagged onto something, causing him to fall forward right near the punch bowl. The bowl toppling over onto his head as the purple juice drowned him. He squeezed his eyes shut as the syrupy liquid dropped down his hair and skin.

It was almost dead silent, most chatter stopping and one of the Apollo kids pausing the music.

Once he could finally open his eyes he almost wish he hadn't. Everyone was staring at him either like he was a beaten puppy or they were laughing. Laughing like the funniest joke had just been told and of course Atlas was laughing the hardest.

Percy's didn't even want to see your expression. He didn't want to see you trying to hold back a laugh or staring at him with pity. Both thoughts made his face growing warmer by the minute. He quickly got up from the floor and stormed out of the mess hall, making a B-line for his cabin as he ignored a few shouts of his name.

Percy: 1

Embarrassment: 5

ANDDDD YOU'RE OUT, LOSER!!

Percy was still attempting to wash the sticky liquid from his hair as he heard a knock at the cabin door. He assumed it was either Grover or Luke, coming to try and make him feel better but it wouldn't help any in his opinion.

"Look, I don't need some bro to bro talk right n-" He stopped, seeing you instead of either of the two boys which was arguably worse.

"Not here to do a bro to bro, but I did want to check on you."

"I'm fine. It was grape juice, not acid."

"I know, still really gross though." You commented. "I'm sorry they laughed at you. That was mean."

Percy shrugged, adverting his gaze.

"What would you want?"

He rose a brow in slight confusion, tilting his head a bit as he looked back to you. "What?"

"For your birthday. You never got the chance to tell me."

Percy had already embarrassed himself to what he believed was the max. To get this off his chest wouldn't be anymore embarrassing than what had just happened.

"You. I would just want you."

He braced himself to be ridiculed but that had never came.

"That's what I wanted."

"What?" He parroted his same confusion from earlier yet your smile had stayed the same.

"You, Percy. I just wanted you. Don't get me wrong I love a party but if I just got to spend the day with you I wouldn't of been mad." You explained and his lips parted in slight shock.

"Really?"

You nodded, ruffling the towel on his head to cover his eyes as you placed a small kiss on the bridge of his nose before moving to place a soft kiss on his lips.

Percy was frozen in the doorway of his cabin as you pulled away, the same smile on your face as you moved the towel from over his face. He had a look of disbelief as his entire face grew red and you couldn't help but giggle.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Percy. Goodnight!"

"Good...Goodnight."

Percy: 5

Includings :: Cabin 15!/Hypnos!Reader, nightmares/night terrors, crying, lots of comfort, lots of fluff, established relationship, this is a lil short but very cute n sweet

An :: Not dead yall

It was a slow and peaceful day at the camp. The weather was especially perfect today. Usually it was too hot for your likings, leaving you to sleep the day away in your cabin but tody was more than tolerable. It was warm with a light breeze going by. The sun shining down just enough but not enough to where it felt like your skin was going to melt.

You had no set activities for the day, laying next to the lake on one of your favorite blankets and soaking up the good weather while it lasted.

You were close to drifting off when a familiar voice piped up.

"Mind if I join you?"

You immediately smiled as you opened your eyes to see Percy, but it faltered a bit as you saw the state he was in.

He seemed tired, exhausted even. There were dark circles under his sea-green eyes. His jet black hair a lot messier than it usually was, like it hadn't seen a brush or comb in days.

"What's wrong?" You asked, rolling over onto your stomach as you watched Percy take a seat next to you on your blanket, copying your movements.

You reached to play with a few strands of his hair. His eyes shutting in comfort at your touch as he let out a small sigh. "Nothing."

"Perseus."

He groaned heavily at the use of his full name as he moved a little bit closer, resting his head on your bicep as your fingers twisted in his hair. "You know I hate it when you use my full name."

"And you know I hate it when you lie to me. Talk to me." You persisted, nails running along his scalp. He was quiet for a moment before he sighed again.

"I just haven't been able to sleep well. I keep having these nightmares and I wake up in a sweat, all panicked and I can't go back to bed." He said and your brows creased in worry.

"Why haven't you told me? I could have helped." He shrugged, rubbing his eye a bit as he let out a small yawn. "I didn't want to bother you with something childish like nightmares."

"It's not childish. I use to have a handful of nightmares, they happen to all of us, Percy." You reassured him.

"If you want, I could sleep in your cabin. If you have a nightmare I could easily help." You offered and Percy smiled softly.

"Like a little sleepover?" He said, his voice trailing off a bit as his body eased a bit more. It was his favorite thing about being around you, he felt so comfortable and a bit sleepy.

"Like a little sleepover." You confirmed, shutting your eyes as you saw his. You smiled after you saw him mostly still, his body moving up and down softly. You hummed, keeping your fingers in his hair as you drifted off along with him.

★

Percy let out a happy sigh as he opened the door and saw your face, moving aside so that you could come in.

"Thank God you're here, I was starting to worry you feel asleep and forgot." He said, scratching the back of his head and you giggled under your breath.

"Just go to bed, I'll be right here if you have a nightmare." You reassured him as you got comfortable moving to pull the covers over the two of you as you wrapped your arm around him and rested your head on his shoulder.

He nodded, slowly drifting off to sleep just by you being so close to him. The scent of lavender lightly hitting his nose as you snuggled closer to him. He let out a small yawn before completely falling asleep.

And it had only been a while before he started to shift around next to you. You let out a small groan as he kicked you in your ankle from moving around and you quickly sat up, looking down at him.

You were about to complain until you realized he was having a nightmare, brows knitting together as his face was scrunched in discomfort, small mumbles leaving his lips but none you could actually make out.

You decided to give him his privacy and not peak into what he was dreaming about but you could just manipulate his dream. You leaned closer to him, placing a hand on his cheek as you whispered under your breath.

"You're fine...you're fine..." You hushed as he twisted and turned, small droplets of gathering at his forehead and you dapped it away with your sleeve.

"Let's have you dream about something nice, something you love." Your brows furrowing as you thought for a second before it came to you. "Like us having the most wonderful day at the beach. The weather's perfect, we're wearing matching swimsuits, we got your favorite ice cream.."

A small smile made it's way on to your face as you saw him calming down, his body easing at your touch as a smile melted onto his face in place of the tense expression. His face leaning into the palm of your hand.

You hummed, keeping your hand placed at his cheek as you got back comfortable from behind him. You pulled the covers back over the two of you and leaned over to place a kiss on his forehead.

"Sweet dreams, Percy. Love you."

"Just what is taking them so long?" Lucy Gray huffed, leaning her back against the wall as she looked around the corner again but there was still no sight of the two.

You shrugged your shoulders, a small frown on your face. "Maybe they fluked on us?"

"Fluked on who?" A soft voice hummed and the two of you turned in the opposite direction to see the two boys dressed down much more casually than the uniforms they had to wear while off but still kind of on duty.

A smile broke your worried expression as Sejanus smiled down at you. You should have known there was no need for you to worry about him not showing up, he seemed more than elated to be back in your presence.

"Well it certainly took you boys long enough, c'mon were burning daylight!" Lucy Gray rolled her eyes playfully as the four of you started to walk. Lucy Gray told the two that it wouldn't be that far of a walk which was true if you were use to twelve which by now the two weren't.

You were walking through the grass, passing by Lucy Gray's favorite spot to come alone to sing when she needed to clear her head or just needed a bit of alone time. The grass was growing rapidly and fading in color, it was pretty even if it was noticeably dying out.

You smile down at the small wildlife that's growing, there's nothing special just a few yellow dandelions. You bend over, grabbing a few.

You grabbed one that wasn't fully in bloom, still in the form of a few clear seeds. You look over to Sejanus and hold it out to him.

"I haven't seen one of these in forever." He chuckled and your brows raised in slight surprise.

"Really?"

He nods. "Can't remember the last time I saw one at the Capitol. It's mostly tulips and roses there."

You hum in acknowledgement, pointing towards the small flower. "Well, blow and make a wish."

Sejanus softly blows at the dandelion, the seeds flowing through the windy air and he drops the stem to the ground. You glance up at him after watching a few float around.

"What'd ya' wish for?"

He sucks his teeth and gives you a frown of concern. "Sorry, I can't tell you."

You gasp, jaw dropping in fake offense. "Why not?"

"Wish rules. If you say it out loud it doesn't come true."

You giggle at his childish explanation for why he couldn't tell you. Something about the way he talks feels familiar as if he wasn't brought up the same as Coriolanus. It's comforting.

As the four of you start to grow closer to the lake your brows furrowed as a thought came to your mind;

"Doesn't y'all sneaking around with us go against your Peacekeeper code a little?" You asked Sejanus and he chuckled, shaking his head.

Even if it did, Sejanus would have took the risk just to see you one last time even if it was just a glimpse. He would take the chances no matter what consequence he would of had to face.

"We're not doing anything illegal." He shrugged, which was true. Partially. They weren't supposed to be this far out away from the district but what the others didn't know wouldn't hurt them.

"Plus, it'll boost our morale or whatever the commander says."

"Aw, hanging out with little ol' me boosts your morale?" You asked with a teasing smile and Sejanus's smile grew as he nodded his head.

"One hundred percent. I feel so much better already."

"You're just too sweet. Are you this charming to everyone you meet?" You questioned with a raised brow.

"Not everyone I've met has been as captivating as you." He answered, noticing how you tried to cover up your smile that had grew even more. His eyes glanced around the area as the four of you had finally arrived at the lake and Sejanus stared in awe for a moment.

It looked so peaceful, far out from the troubles of district twelve. It was also breathtakingly pretty, maybe because it has been untouched from any machinery, the trees allowed just the right amount of shade under them.

"Do you two come here a lot?" Coriolanus asked while Sejanus was enjoying the scenery while you started to set your bags down next to Lucy Gray's and you both nodded your head.

"Yeah, us and the other covey members. We come here on hot days to relax or just get away from twelve for a bit." You replied, slipping out of your shoes and Lucy Gray sighed happily, staring up at the sky as a few birds flew past. "It's perfect, ain't it?"

"It is." The two boys replied, softly staring at the both of you with small grins.

"Well we're not gonna have any fun just standin' around admiring!" Lucy Gray chimed, pulling her dress down and you giggled softly as you rushed to take off the tank top you had on.

Sejanus quickly looked the other way as the two of you stripped from your clothes and Coriolanus suddenly found the sky much more interesting and the two of you couldn't help but laugh at how much they were trying to be polite.

"You can look, sweetheart. S'not like my sets anything fancy." You giggled, tossing your clothes aside before you ran along the boardwalk and jumped into the water, resurfacing after a short while.

Lucy Gray had splashed next to you as she jumped in next, pushing her hair back from out of her face as she looked at the two boys who were standing there with slightly surprised expressions.

"Well? What're you waiting for? Cmon in, the waters jut fine!"

The two of them got rid of their clothes and shoes, tossing them next to your discarded ones as they ran down the boardwalk and jumped into the water.

The four of you laughed together, the sound being the cherry on top of the day for Sejanus. He could have listened to you laugh a thousand times and he swore he would never grow sick or it.

As you swam over to Sejanus, he couldn't help but note how cute you looked. Your eyelashes seemed more full from the amount of water splashed upon them, your face was ridden from any makeup and he now had a chance to see anything you would have deemed an 'imperfection'.

He loved it all, he didn't care.

Sejanus realized that it didn't really matter what you looked like, he would always stare at you like that. Like he was meeting you for the first time and it was his first time looking at you.

"What? Is there something on me?" You asked, patting and rubbing at the bare parts of your body even checking your hair for a moment but Sejanus smiled warmly and shakes his head.

"No it's not that, it's just.."

"Just what?"

"You're so beautiful." He finished and you shook your head, a nervous chuckle leaving your lips.

"You don't have to flatter me, Sejanus." You muttered, glancing away from the male yet his gaze stayed focused on you like you would have disappeared if he looked away.

"I'm not trying to, I'm just speaking my mind and the truth. Ma' didn't raise a liar." He replied and you looked over at him, tilting your head a bit.

"Ma?"

He nodded.

"You're different than Blondie, I knew it." You smiled as if upon the realization you were going to win a prize. "None of those fancy Captiol boys call their ma's ma."

He gave a small shrug. "Maybe because I'm not a fancy Captiol boy. I was born in the districts, district two. My family bought our way into the Captiol."

You nodded, that's why the way he spoke felt like home and why he didn't have the same edge and eerieness of most Peacekeepers.

"That makes much more sense." You hummed, swimming back towards him and leaning against his back, drawing small hearts on the back of his skin.

"I was wonderin' why you were so different from your little friend." You nodded towards Coriolanus who was counting how long Lucy Gray could hold her breath under water and you giggled.

"They're such an odd pair." You commented while moving to wrap your arms around Sejanus's neck and he hummed, nodding before looking back over at you.

"And what about us?"

You tilted your head, smiling softly. "What about us, hun?"

"Do you think we're an odd pair?"

You met his soft dark eyes and a wide smile spread across your lips as you leaned over his shoulder so that you could place a kiss on his cheek.

"I think we're odd but lucky for you, I like odd."

⌲;꒰ A single Daffodil. ꒱

Pairing - Peeta Mellark x Fem!Reader

Synopsis - Peeta was prepared for a lot of things going into the games but falling in love with your opponent was not one of them.

Includings - Careers!reader, the careers are silly little teens, sorry Marvel stans, flower symbolism foreshadowing, mutual pinning but it's doomed, reader's smart and poetic, no Everllark romance, lots of fluff, kisses, cannon typical violence and blood, angst, major character death, no happy ending.

An - I lowkey don't like this

"That's really impressive."

You jumped a bit upon hearing a voice next to you and you glanced over to see the blonde from District 12.

"Huh?"

You don't know anything about him except for the fact that he's from district twelve and was a baker back at home. You only remember interacting with him once before this and that was when he complimented your tribute parade outfit.

It was a short yet sweet interaction. You could tell his compliment was genuine from how he was staring at you like a starstruck child then how his smile grew and his cheeks seemed to grow pink in shade.

Peeta smiled warmly, pointing to the fish hook you were making.

"That. You're really talented."

Now the second time he's spoke to you has also been a compliment, this time towards your skills and you can't help but feel sorry that someone this sweet has been forced into these kind of games.

Your eyes moved back to the fish hook as you try to not let his small compliment get to you. Your fingers moving through it like it was second nature.

You shrugged. "I'm not...just something we learn at an early age in district four, a seven year old could do it easy."

Peeta hums, getting a bit a closer to you. "It's still really cool though, do you think you could teach me?"

You want to say yes but your current alliance with the rest of the careers stands in the way of you fully agreeing to.

They've all set the rule of not being or getting friendly with the other tributes, hence them showing off all their brute skills to scare them away.

And Cato especially didn't like Katniss and Peeta because they stole the spotlight from him during the tribute parade and the interviews.

He didn't see them as a threat but he wanted them both dead even calling dibs on Katniss but he cared less about Peeta, saying that he was weak and would just be another easy kill.

You bite on the inside of your cheek, guilt building up inside you. Peeta hadn't done anything to you and if you weren't in a current alliance that would keep you safe most of the games you would have agreed without a second thought.

"I can't."

His brows furrowed, a small frown on his lips. "You can't?"

You shake you head, finishing your fish hook shortly. "I'm sorry but I can't."

"Why no-"

"[Y/n]! Come here!" You both flinched at the sound of Cato barking your name, he's standing near a couple of the dummies that are now headless with a sword in his hand and you look back at Peeta.

"Prove you can do something. Something impressive." You quickly tell him and his brows furrow even more in confusion.

"What? Why?"

"The Careers, they think-"

"[Y/n]! I don't like repeating myself!" Cato shouted and you sighed heavily, giving Peeta a small frown as you mouthed 'Sorry.' before walking away from him and towards Cato.

Peeta watched as leaned down to whisper something in your ear and Peeta could only assume it was about him from the glare that was shot his way from the boy.

He walked away from the station you were currently at to go and do something else since, your words dancing around in his mind.

Peeta goes towards something that he assumes it to help tributes with climbing, it reminds him of a much larger fishing net.

He only makes it a little bit up before his foot gets caught and it twists the net around, he looks like a fly flailing around in a spider's web before he loses his grip and falls to the mat.

He can hear a couple, if not all of the careers giggling and Katniss quickly makes her way over to him.

"Throw that metal thing over there."

"What?" He asked breathlessly before he looked over at what Katniss was referring to then his gaze shifts back over to those who were watching them.

"No, Haymitch said we're not supposed to show our skil-"

"I don't care what Haymitch said. Those guys are looking at you like you're a meal." She states, glancing over to the career pack before back to him.

"Throw it."

Peeta looked over at the group and sure enough they're staring at him like he's fresh meat. He's sure that you're the only one who's looking at him with an ounce of sympathy, your brows drawn up and nail caught between your teeth.

Prove you can do something. Something impressive.

Peeta rethinks of your words from earlier as he starts to get up and walks over to the case holding the metal balls which he assumes are weights of some sort.

He grabs the heaviest one that's located at the bottom with his right hand and he walked over to the case of spears that are adjacent from where you're all standing.

He throws it over his head, a lot more grand than if he were to do it underhand. It hits the case, knocking something spears to the ground and the case rolls out of place a bit.

He pants softly before glancing back at the group who have now stopped their giggling and stares of bloodlust. They now look at him in a difference sense before returning to what they were doing.

Cato's gaze is the one that stays on him the longest, his eyes narrowing with a smug smile. He watched as Cato taps your arm and point towards him, he sees his lips moving but he can't make out a thing he's saying.

Peeta just prays that it's a good thing because you don't look back at him as you go join one of the tributes in knife throwing.

★

It turns out that that look was a good thing as he finds himself being apart of the career pack once the actual games started.

And Peeta's not stupid, he knows that as soon as he helped them find Katniss he's next on their list. He just hopes that everybody is stupid enough to believe he's stupid for him to keep Katniss safe.

"You sure she went that way?" Cato asks, pointing straight ahead and Peeta nods quietly.

As they all kept walking you stayed beside Peeta a bit behind the group. You glance up at the trees, eyes narrowing at the silhouette of someone you cant quite make out because of how dark its got.

You think you see the outline of a familiar braid but you decide to ignore the shadowy figure if it is her and look back over at Peeta.

"If Cato finds out you're double crossing him he'll kill you." You whisper and you can see him swallow the lump in his throat.

He knew out of all of them you would be the first to see right through him. While you were the least violent of the group, you were the most observant and arguably the brains of the pack.

He bit on the inside of his cheek and nodded. "I know."

"I hope it doesn't come to that, Peeta. I'm rooting for you."

It's endearing to hear because he's sure that you're one, if not one of the only people who is rooting for him. He knows that his own family isn't and he's well aware that out of the two of them Haymitch has a better bet on Katniss than him.

But as he thinks about it his brows draw up in slight concern as he looks back over to you. "What about you?"

"What about me?" You counter with an expression that matched his confusion.

"Aren't you rooting for yourself?"

You're quiet for a while, the only thing that Peeta hears is the sound of crunching leaves or sticks below your feet along with the buzzing of nighttime insects. After some time you finally shake your head.

He frowns, staring at you with an expression that could only be wrapped up and seen as pity. You're apart of the careers, you had the fourth highest training score, you were incredibly smart and strategic.

If anyone had a shot at winning this 'game' he thought it would be you.

"Why not?" Peeta finally asks after moments of silence and you shrugged your shoulders.

"It's kind of sad, I worked and dedicated most of my childhood towards this. Got put in that stupid academy, training, dieting, working on different skills, anything that would give me a head start." You sigh, shaking your head. "I don't deserve to win."

Peeta felt sorry for you. He couldn't even think about what being in the wealthier districts where winning this was forced upon you at an early age, he at least got to live out most of his childhood and enjoy what he could.

"If there can only be one winner I want it to be you, Peeta. You seem like a good person and I wish we could've met under different circumstances."

He smiles softly, interlocking your hand with his own and giving it a small squeeze.

"Me too."

The two of you stare at each other for a short while under the moonlight but the sweet moment is cut short as a high pitched bloodcurdling scream cuts through the night followed by the sound of a cannon.

The two of you jumped, Peeta pulling you a bit closer as he heard rustling from the bushes.

He was at ease once he saw that it was just Marvel, the boy having a smug smile as he looked between the two of you.

"C'mon lovebirds! We're setting up camp for the night!" He chuckled, shaking his head as he went back to where you assumed the rest of the careers were and by setting up camp you were both sure he meant stole one.

"You know if he wasn't kind of a psycho and things weren't the way they were, I think I would be friends with him." Peeta comments, still holding onto your hand as the two of you follow Marvel and you snicker.

"He's not that bad. He just kind of has a big ego, I guess it makes sense with his name." You comment and Peeta's brows furrow slightly and he tilts his head.

"What does his name mean?"

"Something wonderful or extraordinary. So much so that you can't help but watch depending on the thing." You explain to him and he nods, chuckling a bit.

"That's funny but also a little sad given the situation." He comments as the two of you see the small fire that's been made, the rest of the careers already circling around it.

"All of their names have a meaning with sad irony if the games aren't in their favor."

"Oh? Tell me.." He trails off as he stops for a second causing you to come to a halt as well. You watch as he tilts his head at a bush and you wonder if he's already gone crazy or he saw something.

He let's go of your hand to reach for something in the bushes and after a bit of rustling he chuckles breathlessly as he turned back to face.

He's holding a yellow flower and upon closer look you realize that its a daffodil. It's strangely out of place in the current setting and you can't help but let out a small laugh at the flower "How odd. It's beautiful."

You don't notice that Peeta's gaze is lazer focused on you as he smiles and nods. "It is."

Peeta hands the flower to you and you smile softly, twirling it between your fingers before sniffing it. It smelt real which almost made it more strange for it to be the only one there.

"Beautiful but what they can symbolize is sad." You sigh, placing the flower carefully in one of the many pockets of your pants and Peeta tilts his head.

"What can they symbolize?" He asks and you notice that the two of you are getting closer to the small camp the careers have set up and you pat him on the back.

"I'll tell you later, I promise." You hold your pinky out to his and he locks it with his as before you take a seat next to Glimmer who raises her brow at the two of you and the flower that seemed to have came out of nowhere.

"And what took you two so long?"

"Nothing, just-"

"They were busy being allll over each other." Marvel says, obnoxiously making kissy faces towards Peeta as he hooks his arm around the blondes shoulder to pull him closer.

"We were not!" Peeta defends, trying to push the brunette off of him as the group bursts into a fit of giggles and laughs.

"Oh you totally were! Look at how red you're getting, you're practically a tomato!" Glimmer points out, the laughter between the group continuing to grow and Peeta looks at you for help but your only contributing to the laughter.

"What're you laughing for?" Cato scoffed at you with a small smile.

"Yeah, you're not off the hook. Let's not bring up how you were making goo-goo eyes at him the whole time during training room." Clove teases a smug smirk on her face as you shake your head.

"What? That is not true!" You respond and practically everybody rolls their eyes at that.

"Yeah and Glimmer's a real blonde." Marvel scoffs and the blonde's jaw slacks in offense.

"Excuse you?! I am a real blonde!" She exclaims.

"Here we go again."

Once most of the playful bickering and an almost hour long debate on whether or not Glimmer was a natural blonde came to an end it was quiet, only the sounds of nighttime creatures buzzing through the air as everybody slowly started to fall asleep, Marvel offering to take the first watch.

What keeps Peeta at peace while he's trying to fall asleep is thinking of this whole thing as some sort of camping trip with a bunch of friends. He's not miles away from home in the woods with a bunch of teens who could kill him at any second.

He's laying on his back with you using his body as a pillow and that brings him some sort of comfort. He glances down at you and smiled softly at how peaceful you looked, the day obviously tiring you out from how you were the first to fall asleep.

"You two would be cute together." Marvel whispers and Peeta glances over at him, not wanting to move so he doesn't disrupt your sleeping.

"Really?" He asks, a small smile making its way on to his face

Marvel nods. "Too bad one of you is gonna have to die if you both make it to the end."

Peeta narrows his eyes at the brunette and Marvel only tilts his head at the two of you and narrows his eyes, there's a glint of something in those light blue eyes as the flame of the fire reflects against them, but Peeta can't quite pin down what the emotion is.

"If it comes down to it, would you die for her?"

Peeta replied without hesitation. "In a heartbeat."

Marvel hummed in acknowledgement.

★

You and Peeta were now on your own after the careers found out that he had been with them just to keep Katniss safe and as you had predicted Cato was furious and luckily the two of you had escaped his rage without harm.

Almost.

"Are you sure you're fine?" Peeta asked and you nodded your head. Cato had stabbed your side in an attempts to stab at Peeta but you got in-between it.

You made sure to keep your palm against it, applying pressure with a bunched up piece of fabric Peeta tore from the bottom of his shirt. Even if it did really hurt you didn't want to worry the blonde and it wasn't too deep of a wound that you felt the need to.

"It just hurts but for a stab wound I think that's normal." You tried to joke to lighten up the mood a little but Peeta continued to stare at you like you were some frail puppy.

"I'm sorry." Peeta apologizes once the two of you were far enough into the forest where he thought you would be safe from troubles, at least for now.

You tilted your head in confusion as you laid down and leaned up against one of the trees. "What're you apologizing for?"

"It's my fault he stabbed you. If you hadn't got in front of me you wouldn't be hurt right now." He said and you shrugged your shoulder with a small smile.

"Then it's my fault, not yours."

"What? No-"

"I chose to be your human meat shield." You cut him off, tired of hearing him blame himself for something you willingly chose to do.

He groaned, burying his face into the palms of his hands before inhaling and tilting his head up to stare at the sky. "I know but I can't help but feel bad because you took a stab wound for me."

"Peeta, I'd take a stab wound for you any day." You admitted tenderly and he looked over at you, his eyes a bit wide as he stared for a while.

Just as he did the day of the tribute parade, like you hung the stars and moon all by yourself. Now that you noticed it, he looked at you like that a lot.

"Do you really mean that?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

He couldn't help himself anymore, leaning closer to close the space between you two as your lips met his own in a soft kiss.

If Peeta were to die, his last thought would be your lips on his and he would pass away happily.

"Aw how cute."

The two of you quickly pulled away and stood up at the sound of the new, yet familiar voice.

Neither of you are surprised to see Marvel standing there and Peeta's eyes widened bit as he saw the same expression Marvel had made the first night by the campfire.

He now understood the emotion behind his eyes.

Nothing but pure bloodlust.

Marvel clenched the spear in his hand, giving it an over the top twirl around his head. "Time to hold up to that promise, loverboy."

He doesn't break eye contact with Marvel as his grip tightens around his weapon. "[Y/n]. Run."

"What? No I'm not leaving you here!" You protested and he wanted to curse at you for how stubborn you are like you weren't currently occupied at keeping your wound from bleeding.

"[Y/n], please just run! You're already injured!" He exclaimed and Marvel can't help but let out a small snicker at the two of the you.

"You guys already act like an old married couple. It's a little sickening." His playful tone dropped and he ran up to the two of you, swinging the spear in your direction as the two of you back away.

You grabbed Peeta's hand with your free and start to run into the forest and you don't hear the footsteps of Marvel following behind but you hear his cackle throughout the trees.

"Yeah! Keep running lovebirds! It doesn't matter to me!" You heard him scream as you and Peeta ventured further into the woods.

The both of you can't help but wonder why Marvel didn't just try to stab at you when you were close enough or why he didn't throw the spear but you assumed he liked the idea of a chase.

It makes things more fun for him and the audience.

You panted heavily, trying to catch your breath. You don't know how long you and Peeta had ran for and since everything looks the same until you hit certain spots you're not even too sure of where you are specifically.

You looked over your shoulder and stood up. You smiled and turned to look over at Peeta who was leaned up against one of the trees as he tried to catch his breath. "I think.. I think we lost h-"

Peeta's eyes grew to the size of saucers as he sees the silver spear pierce right through the middle of you chest and he snapped his head towards the source of it but the brunette was nowhere to be found he only hears his laugh echoing through the woods.

He cursed under his breath, watching as you slowly pull the spear from your body and he feels himself growing nauseous as he watched the crimson red liquid soak your shirt.

He caught you before you fall to the ground and he slowly lowers himself to the ground as he laid you down. His hands were shaking as his eyes looked at the two wounds you've endured, both stain your hands and his own.

"You're gonna be fine. It's gonna be okay, you're okay." He muttered in a rushed tone and he can't tell if it's you he's trying to convince or himself more.

He pressed his hands against your chest, not too worried about the side on your wound since it's obvious which one is more fatal at the moment. Peeta knows that he won't be able to stop the bleeding it just gives him an ounce of hope that you'll somehow push through and be perfectly fine.

"Peeta..." You mumbled and he swallowed the lump in his throat. "Yes?" His voice came out soft because he knew that if he spoke any louder his voice would have cracked and he would've sobbed.

"You know that yellow daffodil you found on the first night?" You asked softly and his brows furrowed. How could you possibly be worried about that at the moment?

"[Y/n]! Now is not-"

"Do you remember?"

He inhaled sharply and nodded his head. He watched as you carefully reached into your pocket and pulled out the flower, it was a bit wounded but still beautiful.

Like you.

"Do you still wanna know what it symbolizes?." You asked with a small smiled as you held out the flower to him. Peeta's bottom lip quivered as he took the flower from you.

Peeta placed it behind your ear before he moved his body slightly as he leaned you against his chest, resting his chin on top of your head. His arms softly wrapping around you but not against your wounds. If he couldn't save you he would at least try to make your last moments the most comfortable.

And he couldn't bare to look you in the eyes as the life faded from them.

"What does it symbolize?"

"It symbolizes unrequited love and misfortune." You chuckled slightly shaking your head and Peeta's frown only deepened as he used his hand to wipe away his tears trying not to cry even more as your blood smeared across his cheek.

"Doomed but beautiful." You laughed softly as you tilted your head up to look at him. You rubbed your thumb across his hand as he gave it a small squeeze. "I'm still rooting for you, Peeta. I love you."

Peeta swallowed the lump growing in his throat, another shaky breath leaving his lips as he placed a kiss on top of your head and pulled you closer to him.

"I'll love you even after death, [Y/n]."

⌲;꒰ Hypnotic. ꒱ ⌲;꒰ Pt. 1 ꒱

Pairing - Peacekeeper! Sejanus x Fem!Reader

Synopsis - Sejanus is swooned by one of Lucy Gray's friends.

Includings - Covey member!reader, Sejanus being absolutely smitten, toxic ex, unwanted touch and nicknames, bar fights!, little ooc!Sejanus, reader patches Sejanus up, mostly fluff

An - This is mostly Sejanus's POV with him js being so in love

I'll probably write a pt.2 if wanted!

It was like any other night at the covey, it was a little bit crowded and a bit hot but Sejanus had tagged along with Coriolanus because he loved coming to see Lucy Gray preform.

She ended her song, claps and yells of praises following after she was finished and she grabbed the microphone with a bright smile on her face.

"Y'all have just been a wonderful crowd!" Lucy Gray hummed as she shimmied her shoulders. "Better keep that energy up for [Y/nnn]! Or should I say [N/n]?" She said the name in a sing-song tone as if she were teasing the girl that walked up onto the stage.

Sejanus had felt like the world slowed down for a moment, his eyes never leaving her body as she walked. She wore a dark cropped tank-top with a long white skirt and a white laced cardigan, the lace having some sort of flower pattern to it and brown boots. She had a violin case hanging from her shoulder.

She looked so relaxed and comfortable to Sejanus, like she hadn't a care in the world and was simply living in the moment.

"Oh c'mon Luce you know I hate that nickname." She rolled her eyes, playfully waving her hand to shoo the brunette from the stage and she playfully stuck out her tongue at her.

The [h/c] haired girl grabbed the microphone, adjusting it for her height. She tapped on it as her eyes scanned around the crowd for a second before she spoke; "Y'all miss me?"

The crowd erupted in short cheers and the Sejanus didn't think that her smile could get any bigger until she laughed at the reaction and Sejanus couldn't help but smile from it, like it was contagious.

"I know, I know. Y'all must have missed me soo much." She hummed, raising her brows as someone held out a bottle towards her and she generously took it.

"For me? Oh you shouldn't have, y'all know I stopped drinking...never." She giggled, taking a long swing of whatever was in the bottle, her face scrunching up at the strong taste.

There was no doubt that her and Lucy Gray were friends, a similar sense of fashion along with their free spirits and speaking whatever came to mind and being able to control the energy of an entire room..it was endearing.

Even the way she played the violin, her voice soft enough to hear above the violin strings but not loud enough to make her singing feel out of place. The way she swayed side to side slightly as she preformed it was all hypnotizing.

She had her eyes closed most of the time while she played, allowing Sejanus to take in her beauty under the spotlight. He never missed how her smile grew softer when she finished a note she seemed impressed with.

It was different from Lucy Gray, while they both had the energy to make the crowd go wild Lucy Gray kept that energy with her music a lot of the time, making people stomp around and move their bodies in a fast and excitable fashion.

But [Y/n]?

It was soothing, it felt like music he would hear if he were dragged to one of those boring parties his father would be hosting but she gave the music life with her voice as it carried through the covey. Couples swinging with each other side to side on the dance floor or cuddled up with each other with soft smiles.

"[Y/n]! [Y/n], baby!"

The violinist opened her eyes, narrowing as they landed on a ginger. She has decided to ignore him, continuing to play as she sang softly although a few of her notes seem to be getting off-key from being side tracked.

"[Y/n], c'mon you can't ignore me forever. I said I was sorry, that I wouldn't do it again." He moped, getting closer to the stage and [Y/n]'s eyes flashed a look of fear as she stepped back.

"Rusty, you better stop right there." Lucy Gray had warned, stepping up on the stage as [Y/n]'s playing slowly coming to a stop at the distraction.

Rusty hadn't listened though, attempting to walk up the stairs until one of the peacekeepers had pulled him back by his sleeve and he yanked his arm back, elbowing them in the nose.

[Y/n] frowned, her brows drawn up in worry as her eyes darted between the two. "Yall, please, I don't want a rumble in here tonight-"

This caused the Peacekeeper to stumble back into somebody else who pushed him and that caused that person to get grabbed and before you knew it somebody broke glass over someone's head followed by a scream and that's when the fighting started.

"Cmon y'all, calm down! Please!" [Y/n] had pleaded through the microphone although her voice was drowned out by the chaos happening in front of the stage.

Sejanus stood up, seeing the ginger haired boy crawl his way to the stage. He grabbed at the bottom of her skirt, slurring nonsense as she clenched onto her instrument with Lucy Gray and [Y/n] both screaming at him.

"Stop! Stop it! Get off of me right now or-"

But before she could finish her plea he was practically yanked off of her and her eyes looked over to the male and it was like Sejanus wasn't even thinking as he pulled his fist back and let it connect.

He didn't even know how many times her had punched Rusty before he was being pulled away– dragged off of the boy and he heard Coriolanus scolding him under his breath as they were rushing through the crowd, following shortly behind [Y/n] and Lucy Gray.

The two peacekeepers were led to a room that wasn't too far from the main area. It seemed like a little room for the Covey performers to get ready when needed with the amount of makeup, hairbrushes, guitar picks and other things laying around. Sejanus sat down next to Coriolanus, letting out a small huff as he had finally caught his breath.

"Never a dull day at the covey." Coriolanus commented once he had caught his breath.

"I'm so sorry y'all had to get dragged into that." [Y/n] had apologized while she set her instrument down. She went to grab a white box and a small bottle of something from one of the counters as she walked back over to the group.

"It's not your fault, hun. You shouldn't be the one apologizing." Lucy Gray scoffed, shaking her head.

[Y/n] shrugged her shoulders as she made her way over to Sejanus, taking a seat beside him as she set the things down. "I still feel sour, so much for first impressions."

"I still think you made a good first impression." Sejanus said, meeting her eyes as she opened the first-aid-kit and he saw that contagious smile again.

"Oh c'mon, you're just saying that." She hummed, pouring a bit of alcohol onto a cotton pad as she held out her hand for his and he willingly placed his hand in hers.

"No, I'm serious. He doesn't change the fact that your performance was beautiful, it was hypnotizing."

[Y/n] playful narrowed her eyes at him, as if she were trying to sense if he was lying or not. As she saw that he was pretty serious she hummed, looking down at his bruised knuckles.

"You liked it that much?" She asked as she carefully dabbed at his knuckles and Sejanus sucked on his teeth before giving a nod.

"It was pretty, where did you learn to play like that?" He asked, trying to ignore the small burn every time she dabbed the cotton swab on his knuckles.

"My ma' taught me." She giggled a little bit. "It's funny cus' I absolutely hated it when I was younger. Thought violins were the root of all evil." She said as she was trying to finish cleaning his hands as quickly as she could without rushing and Sejanus nodded along.

"But I'm glad I didn't quit, it's such a beautiful instrument. Maybe even better than a guitar" She teased, glancing over at Lucy Gray who was making sure Coriolanus hadn't any bruises and she shook her head.

"Oh you wish." She replied, taking a seat on one of the counters and letting her feet swing back and forth.

"I'm glad you didn't quit." Sejanus piped up as [Y/n] grabbed the bandages and began wrapping them around his knuckles, grabbing a piece of tape to keep it still.

"Me too, probably wouldn't have started performing at the covey or met Lucy Gray then I wouldn't have met you two." She pulled away from Coriolanus, giggling under her breath as she put things away.

"Funny how one screechy instrument could've stopped us from meeting, hm?"

"I'm glad it didn't." Sejanus softly replied as he leaned back in his seat with a sigh, he hoped that this wouldn't report back and get him into some sort of trouble.

"Maybe we could see each other tomorrow to make up for all this mess?" [Y/n] asked the group as she put the First-Aid-Kit back. "Something more peaceful like this was supposed to be."

Lucy Gray clapped her hands, smiling wide. "The lake!"

[Y/n] gasped, almost like an excited kid who had got a present they had been begging for. "Oh my god, the lake!"

"The lake?" The two boys repeated, brows furrowed as they gave each other a look still not completely familiar with District 12.

"It's a beautiful little lake a bit of a walk from here. It's far away from people so no one should bother us." [Y/n] said and Sejanus nodded.

"I'd- we'd love that." Sejanus smile and Coriolanus glanced over at him from the corner of his eye before back at the two girls.

"Great, we can meet here around noon to walk together."

Pairing - Eli Moskowitz x Fem!Reader

Synopsis - Eli's doubting your relationship so you have to confirm some things for him.

Includings - S1!Eli no Hawk, insecurities, crying, embarrassed and blushing Eli, lots of kisses, words of affirmation, small bits of angst, a bunch of fluff

An - First post back with a new fixation! All tags used are fandoms I write for so feel free to request anything

And if anybodys interested I'm currently writing a Scream Au!Cobra Kai on quotev under the same name I use on here

Eli had been a bit off lately and it was starting to worry you.

Eli was generally a quiet person, he had been that way since you met him and he still was. But even given his quiet nature if there was a topic he was interested in and the right people were talking about it he would add in an opinion or two.

And he would be more than happy to rant to you of all people about a new series he had started up or to talk about one of the movies you recommended to him so that the two of you could gush about it and share opinions, but recently he had been a lot quieter.

You shut your locker, smiling over at the dirty blonde. "So, have you watched clueless yet? The fashion in that is-"

"Uh..no, sorry. I was...uhm...busy." He interrupted, staring down at his feet at the lie he told, he watched it twice and wanted nothing more than to go on and on about it.

You rose a brow, head tilting slightly as you stared at him with a look that almost made him call his bluff. "Busy?"

He just nodded quietly.

Then about a week ago, when you asked him if he wanted to come over after school to do a Marvel marathon he had quickly declined, saying that he had other plans and before you could ask what those plans were he went to go talk to Demetri.

He would usually walk you to class, everybody saying that wherever you were he had to be somewhere close by but recently as you waited outside your classroom for him he would be nowhere to found and that made your heart sink a little bit.

"Hey, you weren't outside my English class to walk me to culinary today." You frowned, setting your lunch tray next to his and taking your seat. "I wanted to tell you that I aced my essay..."

Eli glanced over at you and moved his nail from between his teeth. A nasty habit you had been trying to get him to stop doing for months and you were real close until he started becoming distant.

"I was just...just rushing to get to Chemistry. I had a really important test and wanted to get some extra study time in." He explained and you slowly nodded, deciding not to bring up the fact that his test was tomorrow.

He also stopped holding your hand, the first thing he could make the first move on, something he could confidently do if he was feeling nervous or just wanted to touch you. Normally he would hold it as he walked you to your classes or even when the two of you were sitting together at lunch but he started to pull his hand away or shove it into his pocket.

And what really got you was when he started denying your kisses. At first you thought it would just be by accident or he didn't want a kiss at the moment since he was still getting comfortable with PDA but you soon realized that he was dodging your kisses, tilting and moving his head when you leaned in.

It was all really confusing. You didn't understand why he was acting like this and it left you wondering if you had did something wrong. Maybe you had done something that made him upset with you?

You sighed, leaning onto Demetri's shoulder. "Its like when we first met all over again, Dem. He's just been so distant and I don't know whats the matter. Has he been acting different with you?"

"No, he hasnt." Demetri bluntly answered, shaking his head while his eyes stayed focused on the homework you let out a long sigh. "Then it's me, I have to be the problem."

The brunette sighed, putting his pencil down and turning his head to look at you, nearly giving you a death glare. "Look, you just need to talk to him, alright? He's probably going through another one of his slumps and needs some reassurance."

You had groaned, rubbing your hand along your face. "Of course, why hadn't you thought of that before? "Thanks, Dem! You're so good at giving advice, can't believe I didn't think that. God I'm dumb sometimes."

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know I am and I know you are. Now, can we please finish our homework now that you're done moping?"

"[Y/n], Eli didn't tell me you were coming."

You smiled up at his mother as you held a new copy of the comic book Eli had ranted about a while ago along with a bag of some of his favorite snacks. "Yeah, I wanted to surprise him."

"Well he's upstairs in his room." She hummed, closing the door behind you as you walked up the stairs and down the hall to the boy's room, lifting your knuckles up to knock on the door.

There was a bit of shuffling before the door opened and Eli's eyes were wide with surprise upon seeing you. "[Y/n]? What..What are you doing here?"

"I just really need to talk to you. Can I come in, please?"

He seemed hesitant at first before reluctantly nodded and opened his door all the way. You set the things you brought for him on the table then walked over to sit across from him on his bed.

You looked at him, staring into his eyes as you reached out to grab his hand and rubbed your thumb over the back of it. "Eli, talk to me. What's the matter? What's going on?"

"It's nothing-" He started but you weren't buying it, obviously. "Eli we both know that's a lie. You haven't really been yourself lately and I just need to know why. I'm here for you. Is it something that I've done or anything I can fix?"

"Unless you can fix me being a freak, no, you can't."

Your face softened as you held onto his hand a little tighter. "Eli, you're not-"

He shook his head, pulling his hands away from yours. "No! Don't. Don't say that! I don't wanna hear this whole 'you're not a freak' talk again I'm so sick of it!"

The way his voice started to crack made your heart sink as you saw that his eyes were starting to water, fresh tears threatening to spill.

"Kyler said something that...that just really got me thinking. Saying that he didn't know how a girl like...like you gave a nerd with a weird lip...lip a chance." Eli swallowed the lump starting in his throat because he was going to start crying rethinking of the conversation.

"He started talking about how much better you could've done. Better like somebody like...like him." He sniffled, his fingers brushing against his scar as he looked everywhere but you when he spoke.

"And then I started to think he was...was right. You could do so much better than some nerd with a freaky l..lip." His voice wobbled as he stared down at his bedsheets.

"Eli. Eli, look at me." While the boy shook his head you reached up to grab the sides of his face, wiping away the tears with your thumbs that were starting to fall down his cheeks.

You sighed, frowning softly. "Look, I don't care what anybody else says, okay? Kyler was wrong because there's no better choice. I mean, is there any other boy at school who would listen to my constant complaining about Mrs.Carter?"

Eli had stayed quiet as you continued. "Would any other boy let me ramble about [f/superhero] and not call me a nerd?"

Silence.

You weren't done though. "Would some jerk like Kyler deal with my long shopping trips and help me carry all my bags around?"

Continuing you had smiled softly up at him. "Oh and I'm one hundred percent sure none of those guys would watch silly chick flicks with me and actually like them."

He shrugged his shoulders and you smiled, pressing your lips against the his cheek in a short yet sweet kiss and he winced, feeling the stickiness from your lipgloss. "And no other boy here is as breathtaking as you."

Your smile grew more as you saw the tips of his ears turning pink and he turned his head away slightly, looking up and away at his ceiling. "[Y/n].."

"I'm serious, Eli. You're so very pretty. I love and adore everything about you."

He avoided eye contact with you, trying to pull his face from your hands but you only hummed while pressing kisses all over his face and leaving shiny kiss marks along it.

"Your eyes alone just make me melt, y'know? I'm real jealous of how your lashes look better than mine." You giggled, placing a kiss right above his brow.

"[Y/n], stop..." He mumbled, his cheeks now being a color that would put any blush set to shame and you shook your head.

"You have a beautiful nose. I love staring at your side profile, it's just perfect." You complimented, kissing the bridge of his nose before your eyes trailed down.

You reached up, tracing your finger along the scar. "And like I've said before I love your scar. I could kiss you a million times and never get grossed out by it.

At that you leaned forward, pressing your lips right against his scar and you could feel his hands squeezing at the bottom of your shirt, fists squeezing tightly around the fabric before you moved down and captured his slightly chapped lips with your own. While you leaned into the kiss you could feel Eli's grip slowly lighten as he leaned into the kiss.

Eli was a burning mess in a the face when you kissed his scar, closing his eyes at the feeling while holding tightly onto your shirt as if you would go anywhere. Feeling you place felt your soft lips on his own partially chapped ones he was like putty in your hands, practically liquefying.

When you pulled away you giggled at the residue of gloss that came from your lips and that was now all over Eli's face and his own lips, smiling as the boy rubbed his thumb across his bottom lip, his shoulders rising and falling while he panted softly.

"So no, there's no boy in this valley I'd rather be with." You confirmed, wrapping your arms and he laid back allowing you to lay your head against his chest, finding a sort of comfort listening to his heartbeat.

You hummed softly, reaching a hand up to play with the tuffs of his hair and the two of you laid there in comfortable silence and you peered up to stare at him to see that he was already staring at you.

"You...You really mean it? All that stuff you said earlier?" He questioned, his voice coming off as a whisper and you lifted your head up.

You sat up on his lap, furrowing your brows at him while staring at him with an incredulous expression. "Do I need to repeat myself? Kisses and all?"

"I...I don't know...I don't think I really got it." Eli gave a sheepish smile, messing with the hem of your shirt."

"Maybe...uhm...a couple more kisses and it might click?" He quietly suggested and stared up at you through his eyelashes, his lips parting a bit.

And how could you say no to such a pretty face like that?

"El... what're you doing up this late?"

You were rubbing you eyes and trying to get them to adjust to the dimly lit kitchen, you wouldn't have been able to tell it was El if it weren't for her hair and how it was up in a messy ponytail.

She was wiping something from her hands as she gestured to the bowl and your eyes glanced around the kitchen which was a mess.

There was flour almost everywhere including the girl's pajamas, hands and face. There was split milk on the counter and your eyes had widened a bit when you saw the amount of sugar that had been spilled everywhere.

"I was trying to make cookies for everyone..so we could eat them in the morning..." She had said, her eyes gazing around the mess she had made.

"It didn't go well.."

You had giggled, grabbing the broom "I can tell. How about this, I'll help you bake it but we'll still tell them it was your idea."

She had nodded at this, grabbing the other broom to help you clean up the mess she had made.

It took the two of you a good ten minutes to clean up all the flour that was everywhere along with the sugar, salt and egg yolks. You weren't even sure how she managed to get half of the ingredients on the flour and not the bowl but you knew she was still new at a few things.

You had decided to start all over, placing the ingredients that you were going to need to make the cookies and the icing on the now clean counter.

"Okay so first put the butter and sugar into the bowl and put it in the mixer, let it mix until it's all creamy." You had said and El had grabbed one of the bowls, putting the soft butter into it and the sugar as well.

She let the ingredients mix as you were mixing the flour, baking powder and salt together in a slightly bigger bowl. El waited until it looked nice enough and she leaned the bowl you to affirm that it was good.

You glanced over and nodded "Good job! Now can you add one egg and two teaspoons of vanilla extract?"

"Two teaspoons?" She had repeated in a confused tone and you put your bowl down, searching for the clatter of spoons and showing it to her, pointing at the smallest one.

"Pour the vanilla extract into this two times and put it in the bowl after you crack the egg. Make sure not to get any eggshells in there and then stir it really good." You had said and she nodded, smiling softly as she took the spoons from you.

You watched as she careful cracked the egg on the side of the bowl and let the yolk fall into the bowl before she placed the eggshells aside. You almost wanted to giggle when she started pouring the vanilla extract into the tablespoon, trying to be as precise and careful as she could doing both pours.

El grabbed one of the whisks and started stirring it together and looking at you as if she were doing it wrong but you gave her a thumbs up which made her face ease up.

"All done." She said as she gave the bowl to you and you had thanked her, pouring it in with the dry ingredients and stirring it together. "Now we'll let it chill in the fridge for a bit so it won't be all sticky when we use the cookie cutters." You explained, putting plastic wrap over the bowl and putting it in the fridge.

You had grabbed a sheet of parchment paper, placing it on the table and putting a bit of flour on it, not minding that El was following you around like a baby duck.

"What's that for?" She asked while you were grabbing the cookie cutters that came in the shapes of Christmas trees, snowmen, reindeers, snowflakes, candy canes and stars.

"In case the dough is still a little sticky." You responded, putting the cookie cutters on the table and taking a seat.

"Is there anything you're hoping to get for Christmas?" You asked her, deciding you didn't want to sit in silence while waking for the dough to chill.

El had tilted her head, brows knitting together as she thought for a second before a smile grew on her face and she started nodding. "Yes! A paint set so I can paint with Will. He's very good!"

You had nodded "He is really good! Do you think you'll be as good as him someday?"

She shook her head, a bright smile still on her face "No...Will's really good and I still can only draw stick figures."

"You and me both! God, even when I was younger and will was like a baby he was still better than me somehow." You had giggled and El had looked at you in disbelief.

"You weren't even a little better than him?"

You shook her head "I could barley draw a stick figure then and I'm still not that good now. We had a draw off yesterday and I got my ass handed to me." You giggled, getting up from your chair and going to the fridge so you could get the dough out.

You placed the bowl on the table and told El to take off the plastic wrap and throw it away as you had grabbed a pan, putting it on the counter a bit away from the bowl and parchment paper.

You then looked for the rolling pin, smiling triumphantly as you had found it and you handed it to El.

As you grabbed half of the dough, flattening it out a bit you had started explaining to El what to do. "You'll just press it against the dough, back and forth and just roll it out." She followed your instructions, rolling the pin back and forth against the dough until it was stretched out enough.

"Awesome! Now here comes the fun part!"

"What's the fun part?" A soft voice had questioned from the stairs and you had both turned your heads to see Will who looked like he was half awake by the way he was squinting and yawning.

"What're you doing up?" You questioned.

"Heard some noise and I was thirsty. What're you two doing up?"

"Making cookies." El responded and that seemed to wake up Will as his face started to light up. "Can I help?"

"Fine, only because we woke you up." You said and he had came down the rest of the stairs and stood next to El as he looked at the dough spread out.

You told El that there was really no way to mess up this part, you just place the cookie cutter on the dough, press down, pull the cookie cutter off and presto! You've got yourself a cute little Christmas themed cookie.

Will's favorite seemed to be the Christmas tree since you had seen him pick it up about ten times already and El showed much favor to the star shaped ones so it was up to you to make sure there was a mixed amount of each shape.

As you finished cutting them out you had made sure to spray the pan before placing the cookies on it and placed them into the oven. You grabbed the cute little timer and set it to the amount of time that the cookies needed to stay in the oven. Now all that was left was to put the icing on them, clean up the mess you made and hopefully get a few more hours of sleep in.

As you were cleaning up the things you weren't going to need anymore, Will deciding that he would help too just to make the process a little easier and quicker he had voiced a question he forgot about earlier.

"Why are you two up this late making cookies anyway?"

While you were washing your bowl you had answered "Well, Santa said he was just craving some homemade sugar cookies, so here we are. Maybe you could deliver them? I'm sure he's missing his favourite elf anyway."

"Hardy har har. That's so funny I almost forgot to laugh." He rolled his eyes and you had let out a laugh, finding your own joke very funny and you even heard El giggling as she was wiping down the counter.

"I don't know, Will. It was a little funny." She said, looking over her shoulder to look back the boy.

Will fake gasped, placing his hand over his heart "The betrayal! I can't believe you right now."

"Think about the betrayal Santa feels. One of his elves not wanting to send him cookies. I would be hurt." El said and you couldn't help but laugh as she pushed on your joke.

"I'm literally taller than you! Stop it!"

♡

With the cookies being set out to cool all that was left was to make the icing and start decorating the cookies then you could peacefully go back to sleep, thank god.

You put the powdered sugar, two tablespoons of milk, corn syrup and vanilla extract in a medium sized bowl then turned your head to Will, pointing at the cabinets.

"Will can you get the food dye while El mixes this?" You asked, passing the bowl to the girl who had already got the hang of everything by now and Will went to grab the food coloring.

But as he grabbed the food coloring his hands had brushed against the plastic bottles of spices, causing a few to drop with the sound of plastic clatter and you winced.

"Are you trying to wake up the whole house?!" You chuckled.

"Well, looks like you're almost there." A groggy voice said from the stairs and you sighed, knowing that you had woken up your other younger brother.

"Hii.." El whispered as he rounded the corner into the kitchen and he gave a small yet tired smile, waving to her. "Hey. Why are we up making cookies this late?"

"Will has us helping him make his cookies for Santa. Y'know, Elf work." You said as he had shot you a glare as he placed the small bottles of food coloring down.

"That wasn't funny earlier and it's still not funny."

"It's a little funny." Jonathan stifled a chuckle as he leaned against the table causing Will to huff.

"I'm done, [Y/n]." El said, showing you the fully mixed bowl and you clapped your hands together as quietly as you could not wanting to wake up either of your parents next.

"Nice, now we'll put put some into the bowls, mix the food coloring in them and put them in the piping bags." You said, pouring the white icing into different bowl and then handing them to El and Will.

Jonathan decided that if he was gonna be awake now he might as well help you guys so he started mixing the green icing.

Once all of you were finished you were the one to put them in the piping bags since you were the only one who knew how to do it the fastest and without creating a mess.

El grabbed a star shaped cookie and started to decorate it with the blue icing, all of you grabbed your own cookies of choice and started to ice them.

"Hey, can you pass the white icing?" Jonathan asked, holding out his hand for it and you had grinned smugly up at him.

"Yeah..of course." You said, putting some of the icing on your fingers and putting the piping bag into his hand.

"Thanks-" But he was cut off as you smudged the icing across his lips and face, giggling as you stepped back.

"[Y/n]! C'mon!" He groaned, wiping as much as the icing from his face as he could, lunging to wipe it all over yours and you moved out of the way causing Jonathan to get icing on Will instead.

"Jonathan!"

"[Y/n] started it! Get her back!" He said, grabbing you by your shoulders to use you as a shield and Will had grabbed the yellow icing smudging it on his hands and pressing them on your face as you squirmed and laughed.

You noticed El giggling while watching the situation go down and you held out your hand "El! Help me out here I'm being double attacked!"

She grabbed the blue icing, putting it on her hands and reaching to put them on Will's face leaving her blue handprints and he wiped them off, immediately wiping them back her.

Giggles and laughs fueled the once whisper quiet kitchen, all of you forgetting about how quiet you were supposed to be as you attacked each other with the icing.

"Will! You got it in my hair!"

"Because [Y/n] got it in mine!"

"Then get it in hers!"

It seemed like there as more icing in your hair and on your faces than the actually cookies.

"El! Get him! We're on the same team here!" You had exclaimed, giggling as you wiped the yellow icing from your nose and she blinked.

"There's teams?"

"Obviously! And we're winning!"

"What's with all the noise?"

All of you froze and stopped all the laughing and giggling, staring to look up at the stars where you both of parents stood, crossing their arms and looking down at you all.

It was quiet as you all looked at each other and you opened your mouth to tell them what had happened but El had spoke up.

"So...Will needed help making cookies to deliver to Santa because he's one of his Elfs-"

But before she could even finish the whole thing she was muffled as Will had pressed his icing based hand over her mouth.

"Enough with that story!" He shouted as El had started laughing again since you and Jonathan were loosing it.

"But it's true?"

"No, El it's the full truth, he's just in denial." You giggled, noticing that both of your parents were still standing on the stairs looking for an explanation to the mess and noise.

"Cookies?" You offered two to your parents that El decorated with a nervous smile.

"We made them ourselves!" The girl had chimed in beside you.

Will smiled, coming near the two of you. "Yeah and the icings really good!"

"Trust me, we know." Jonathan added some half of the icing was on your faces.
