Chapter 2: The Daughters of Psuellus

Pairing: Din Djarin x f!reader (royal!au) Word Count: 2.1k Warnings: Death, bit of violence, blood and a bit of swearing

Masterlist

Synopsis: Rebellious Princess y/n doesn’t fit into royal life. She much prefers spending her time daydreaming about all the adventures she wants to go on. However when an attack is made against the royal family she is thrust under the watchful eye of a knight from Mandalore who doesn’t speak or show his face at all. The pair begin forming a strong bond that has the potential to become something more, the only thing stopping her? The handsome stranger who saved her that she can’t get out of her head.

A/N: I so far stuck to my schedule of posting on fridays wooo hooo.

--------------------

“We are the daughters of Psuellus. Great father who loves us and named us well.”

Melanie was certain she was going to go into cardiac arrest, y/n hadn’t shown up for rehearsal and now was nowhere to be found for the actual performance.

“Calm now Mel” Arianna said putting a gentle hand on her sister’s shoulder “she’ll be here she knows how important this is to you.”

“Sure, it’ll be fine…” Melanie said shakily not believing the words she spoke. The changing of the guard music ended, and Melanie was sure she was going to throw up. Boba Fett walked through the curtain into the foyer and saw the varying levels of distress on the princesses faces.

“Still no sign of her?” He sighed. He knew this was going to happen and cursed himself for not stopping her when he ran into her earlier.

“Ladies.” The girls all whipped their heads around to see the head of the palace staff ushering them on stage and Melanie went pale as a ghost.

-------------------------------

The dark figure grabbed y/n and she let out a loud shriek. Din was instantly snapped out of his trance and leaped into action almost without thinking. He wrestled the girl out of the assailants’ arms, and she ran to hide. The men stood facing each other in a standoff before the hooded man pulled out two long blades.

It was in this moment Din had wished he’d left the amour on, not that he particularly needed it, but he did feel slightly out of place fighting without it. The assailant lunged towards Din with his blades, Din easily jumped out of the way causing the man to lose his balance slightly. Din used this to his advantage knocking the man clean off his feet causing him to lose grip on one of his daggers.

Y/n watched from her hiding spot. She watched as the man who saved her skilfully disarmed the other.

Din had the man cornered in an incredible time. The man looked around fearfully before realising he had only one thing he could do. The man tried to pierce Din, but he dodged the attack, less successfully this time causing a deep cut to appear on his arm as the dagger scraped him. Din hissed in pain as the attacker seized his opportunity and sprinted down the beach as far away as he could possibly get. Din quickly grabbed the blade that was laying by his feet and threw it with skill and precision at the fleeing man impaling him directly in the chest causing him to fall to the sandy floor. Din walked over and without blinking an eye pulled out the dagger and stabbed him again feeling the man’s life leave his body.

Din checked over the man making sure the job was done then his concern was with the girl who had just been attacked.

He turned around to look for her when he spotted her peeking out behind a rock. When their eyes locked, she let out a startled squeak before hiding back behind the rock. Din slowly approached where she was hiding like he was approaching a skittish cat. When he reached her, he knelt down so they were at eye level.

“Are you okay?” He asked her softly.

Y/n felt like her voice was stuck in her throat and she wasn’t sure if that was due to shock from the attack or because she was so taken aback by how handsome the man in front of her was. She examined his face for any imperfections, and she could find none. He had a jawline that could cut glass, dark messy hair that she just wanted to run her fingers through and a moustache that made him looked refined in a ruggish way. But it was his eyes that got most of her attention, she felt like they could see through her completely and stare right into the very depths of her soul. She could have probably spent hours staring into them, trying to unlock their secrets.

“Miss?” Din pressed again knocking her out of her thoughts. Y/n tried to speak but all that came out was a sob as everything that had just happened dawned on her. She put a shaking hand over her mouth to try and muffle her cries. Din gently used a finger to wipe away her tears.

“T-thank you” she stuttered.

“You shouldn’t be out here alone” he said holding out his hands to help her up. She took his hand, and it was like a jolt of electricity ran through her body lighting up all her senses. It made her feel dizzy but in the best way possible.

“I come out here all the time by myself and it’s always been okay” y/n said looking out over the horizon as the waves crashed to shore.

Din followed her gaze and looked over the blue ocean. “Can’t say I blame you” he conceded. Y/n gave him a soft smile, this was the first time in her life she had ever met someone who understood her fascination with the sea, and it caused butterflies to go straight to her stomach.

She saw Din’s face flash with pain, and she noticed his arm bleeding. “You’re hurt” she said, concern.

Din covered the mark on his arm with his hand. “It’s just a scratch” Din said dismissively “I’m fine.”

“No you’re not” she said defiantly. Y/n reached down towards the hem of her dress’s skirt and tore of a piece of fabric.

“May I?” she asked tenderly. Din gave a curt nod and she wrapped the fabric around the wound. Once she was done, she stepped back and said “you should disinfect that later but at least it’ll stop the bleeding.”

“Thank you” Din said.

“It’s the least I could do” she said.

A silence befell the pair and Din couldn’t help but say “you have a wonderful voice.”

Y/n felt her cheeks heat up at the compliment “oh thanks I love singing I find it very…” Y/n’s mind wandered and she suddenly realised something. “Shit. What’s the time?” She asked the man in front of her.

“Uh” Din looked at the sun to try and get an accurate sense of the time “around 10:45, why?”

“Shit!” Y/n exclaimed realising she was missing the concert “I have to go but thank you so much it was really nice to meet you.” Y/n grabbed her horse and began mounting him.

“Are you okay?” Din said concerned by the girl’s frantic behaviour.

“Yes, I just really have to be somewhere, goodbye” Y/n clicked her done and her horse rode away.

“Be safe” Din called as she rode off into the forest that concealed the beach. Y/n turned and waved as she sped towards the castle. As she approached, she mentally slapped her forehead as she realised, she’d never gotten the man’s name or anyway of contacting him.

“Ugh I’m such a dumbass” Y/n thought as she approached the base of the wall that led to her bedroom window. Y/n quickly scaled the wall and clamed into her room. She stripped out of her casual clothes and got redressed into her ruby red ball gown.

She sprinted towards the courtyard and as she entered the foyer that led into the courtyard, she heard a booming voice call “young lady!”

Y/n winced “Dad forgive me I’m so sorry.” She looked at her father who towered above her with his armed crossed. Her sisters stood either side of him looking equally as mad if not more.

“I just forgot that’s all” Y/n tried to explain.

“And as a result of your careless behaviour-” her father started before being cut off by a furious Melanie.

“Careless and reckless behaviour” Melanie emphasised stepping in front of their father.

“The entire celebration was-” her father continued before being cut off again.

“Ruined! Completely destroyed! This event was going to be the pinnacle of my distinguished career” Melanie said completely exasperated.

“Melanie…” their father warned.

“Now thanks to you we’re the laughing stock of the entire kingdom” Melanie said. Their father put a hand on Melanie’s shoulder. Melanie took the hint and stepped back behind her father, re-joining her sisters.

“Care to explain yourself?” Her father asked.

Just as Y/n opened her mouth to try and explained but the sound of a blaring siren rang throughout the palace. The sisters all looked around confused but their father told them to follow him which they did in a hurried manner. They were running down a corridor a Boba Fett met up with them and ushered them into a hidden room that Y/n had never seen before.

The room was barren and dimly lit with only a few torches providing any light. There was a singular bed in a corner and a rickety old table and chair. The walls were lined with various weapons that looked ancient. The most modern looking thing was the door which looked practically impenetrable being made from a strong cast iron.

“What’s happening?” Arianna asked just as confused and scared as the rest of her sisters.

“I’m not sure” their father explained “but right now we need to be silent.”

The royal family sat in silence for what felt like hours. Y/n’s mind wandered to the handsome man on the beach, her stomach fluttering whenever he entered her mind. She was still cursing herself for not learning his name or where he came from and she could only hope she stumbled upon him again by happenstance just as she had done today at the beach. She wondered if this was how Melanie felt about her fiancée? Her heart squeezing at just the thought of him and how she felt like a piece of her was missing when he wasn’t by her side.

The sound of the iron door opening could be heard and everyone was immediately on their feet and on edge. Their father grabbed a sword from the wall in preparation. Y/n noticed Arianna also secretly grabbing a sword.

“It’s just me” Boba Fett said as he entered the room. A sigh of relief was felt amongst the royals. “It’s safe to come out.”

“Are you sure?” the king asked.

“Positive sire” Boba said “we’re meeting in the throne room. Me and a few other guards will escort you and your family there.”

The king gave a nod as every hustled out of the room and into the throne room where what could only be described as a platoon of guards awaited them. The family all sat on their assigned thrones as the king gestured for them to begin.

“An operative was discovered sneaking into the castle during the events of today. He was seized immediately and the alarm was rung” Boba stated.

“He was the only one?” The king pressed.

Boba nodded “we did an intense investigation of the castle and can conclude he was the only one.”

The king hummed “and where is he now?”

“He’s being contained in the castle dungeons and being questions however he has been uncooperative thus far” Boba explained “we believe that this is part of a much bigger scheme and that this will not be an isolated incident.”

“And what is to be done to keep me and my family safe from other efforts that threaten to hurt them?” the king asked.

“A senior ranking member of the guards will be placed with each member of the family at all times” Boba explained. The nodded looking down at all his daughters his eyes landing on y/n.

“That is a fine plan Boba” The king agreed “however there are key members of this family whose antics have been known to outsmart even the highest-ranking officials.”

Boba looked at the young princess knowing full well she was going to hate him for what he was going to do. “I have a friend who is a Mandalorian, one of the best out there, I will ask him if he would be willing to overlook the well-being of the princess.”

“You can’t be serious” y/n said incredulously. She knew with a mandalorian watching her 24/7 she’d never escape to her secret hideaway by the sea again and that meant that there was no chance of running into her mystery man.

“I’m afraid it’s the only option y/n” the king said.

“You can’t entrust my care into a stranger after what’s just happened” Y/n pleaded.

“If Boba Fett trusts him then so do I” the king said sternly.

“You’re so unfair” Y/n cried running out of the throne room stopping as she passed Boba “I thought you were my friend.”

The king watched as Y/n left the throne room before sighing “what am I going to do about her?”

Chapter 1: Fathoms Below

Pairing: Din Djarin x f!reader (royal!au) Word Count: 2k Warnings: None

Masterlist

A/N: I’ve change the creed slightly cause I need it to fit the story but it’s an au so I can do what I want

-------------------

“And when the pull is strong, I almost think I hear the sea, wild and free, calling me from fathoms below”

Today was one of the biggest days in the entire kingdom: the ruby jubilee of King Psellus, celebrating 30 years since he had taken the throne. Melanie hadn’t slept, this celebration was going to be the pinnacle of her event planning career, and everything needed to be perfect, and she knew it was going to be provided her youngest sister didn’t do what she always did and ruin everything. She loved her sister of course but the girl would lose her head if it wasn’t screwed on

Melanie walked along the grand corridor of the palace making sure all her sisters were awake and getting dressed in preparation for the long day ahead. As all the sisters opened their doors groggily to see who had disturbed their sleep Melanie noticed Y/N’s door yet to be opened. She knocked again… no response, she tried again slightly louder this time until she was eventually banging on her sister’s door loud enough to wake the whole kingdom up. Finally, the door opened and her sister, still half asleep, wandered out.

“Geez Mel what time is it?” she asked rubbing her eyes.

Melanie ignored the question and began pacing back and forth down the corridor like a general addressing her troops.

“Okay ladies today is quite possibly the most important day of my entire life and I am determined to make it go off without a hitch. That means I need everyone to follow the itinerary down to the minute, no exceptions” she said glaring at y/n.

Y/n rolled her eyes “yeah, yeah I got it.”

Melanie didn’t appear to believe her, but she continued “okay first we are having our hair and make-up done in five minutes in the parlour which should take an hour, during this time I would suggest you eat breakfast as their will be no other time to eat. Then at 7:00am our dresses should arrive from the modiste so we can then get dressed, then an hour of guest greeting in the main hall, during this time I will be doing finally preparations on the ballroom, town square and banquet hall. I will then join you at 8:00am for a rehearsal and sound check in the grand courtyard for our performance I sincerely hope that those who have been… unable to attend previous rehearsals are well prepared.”

Another dig directed at y/n but at this point she was so used to it that her sisters’ words rolled off her like water.

“The celebration begins at 9:00 with us going on at approximately 10:00 as the last act” Melanie continued “then balcony appearance and father’s speech at 11:00, lunch at 12:00, then you are free to enjoy the festivities till 5:00 when you are needed for a dress change, then at 6:00 dinner, then at 8:00 the ball and finally you may all retire to your chambers at midnight at least. Do you understand me?”

“Yes” the sisters responded in a monotone unison.

Melanie eyed up y/n one final time before conceding “good, then let’s get to the parlour.”

As the sisters all sat quietly gossiping as they got their makeup done. Y/n didn’t have much to add to the conversation as she wasn’t as well versed in the lives of various foreign dignitaries, so she resorted to staring out the large window that flooded the room with light as the sun rose.

The window looked out directly on the harbour and y/n could see all the foreign ships coming into port. She wondered where the ship had come from and how it was different Caphus. The only one of her sisters who had been allowed to travel outside of the kingdom was Eleanor and that was only because she was the oldest and therefore heir to throne and had to make connections, which wasn’t fair. The rest of them should be able to expand their horizons and see the world but no, instead they had to waste away their days inside a castle.

Technically they weren’t even allowed of palace grounds without a guard accompanying them, but y/n had managed to skirt around that rule. She knew at least fifteen different ways out of the castle to avoid detection from guards, it was quite a talent really.

She was broken out of her thoughts when she Florence let out a loud squeal of excitement “ahh they’re here! Look at how gorgeous they are, which ones mine?”

Y/n turned to see various ballgowns being ushered into the parlour. The dresses were all different styles, but they were all in a shade of red, keeping on theme for the ‘ruby’ jubilee. As the sisters began admiring themselves in the dresses, y/n stood to the side awkwardly. She smoothed down the fabric of the skirt with her hand and looked at herself in the mirror. Honestly, it was like she was looking at a stranger, these frilly dresses didn’t suit her, and she felt and looked uncomfortable.

Eleanor noticed her sister standing awry to the side and approached her, putting a hand delicately on her shoulder. “You look beautiful” she said.

“Thanks” y/n responded half-heartedly.

Melanie clapped her hands together loudly gaining everyone’s attention. “Okay everyone, great hall now, I’ll see you in an hour.” With that Melanie rushed out the room as the remaining sisters filed out slowly talking amongst themselves.

The great hall was crowed, too crowded as the foreign nobles clambered at the chance to talk to one of the princesses. Y/n was immediately overwhelmed she didn’t like being the centre of attention and talking to nobles was draining at the best of times. She glanced over at her sisters who were charming as ever captivating their audience. Y/n looked at large grandfather clock that loomed over the great hall. How had it only been five minutes.

Surely no one would notice if she slipped out, just for a bit. She’d be back for the rehearsal; she just needed some space to breathe. She politely excused herself from the duke from some country she’d already forgotten the name of and made her way out of the hall. She ran along the corridor determined to get out of there as quickly as possible when she turned the corner and BANG! Ran directly into someone.

“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going and-” Y/n’s ramblings were cut off by a loud laugh and she breathed a sigh of relief when she realised, she had only run into Boba Fett, captain of the royal guard. Boba was probably her only friend in the castle he most definitely knew about her adventures outside the palace grounds but didn’t stop her and didn’t alert her father both of which she was truly thankful for.

“It’s okay princess” he calmed her before narrowing his eyes “where are you off too in such a hurry?”

“Oh, you know… my room, to get some air. It’s quite overwhelming in there” she lied.

“Mmhmm” Boba nodded not believing her in the slightest.

“What about you?” Y/n asking changing the subject “shouldn’t you be getting ready for the changing of the guard?”

“The guard won’t change without me; I’m meeting an old friend whose travelling in for the jubilee” he explained.

“Well then you should probably get going” y/n said trying to get away as quickly as possible.

“Mmm yes” Boba says knowing full well what the girls plan was “you’ll do well to stay out of trouble today y/n. Don’t do anything I would do.”

“Yeah, I got it” y/n said scurrying away down the corridor. Boba smiled and shook his head as he watched her disappear into her room.

-----------------

Din stepped off the boat and took in the kingdom. He wasn’t being lied to when he was told that this was probably one of the most beautiful kingdoms he would ever see. Even more so in its current state, being decked out in various red decorations for the jubilee.

“Mando!”

Din looked around for the source of the sound.

“Mando!”

Din squinted as he saw Boba push his way through the crowd of people and make his way towards him.

“How are you?” Boba asks pulling him into a hug.

“I’m well how are you?” Din responds.

“Yeah, good” Boba says raking his eyes up and down Din’s unarmored body “I almost didn’t recognise you without all the armour on.”

“Yeah, well you know I can’t talk or take it off once I’ve got it on” Din explained “so I thought if I’m not working here, I might as well take the opportunity to walk around without it.”

Boba nodded in agreement. “Besides” Din continued “people act weird and nervous around mandalorians and I want people to enjoy themselves today.”

“You’re an honourable man” Boba said looking up at the town hall clock “shit is that the time? I better head off. I’ve got to get ready for the changing off the guard, but you look around and enjoy yourself and loosen up a bit, it’s a celebration after all. I’ll meet up with you later, okay?”

“Okay” Din nodded before Boba ran off. Din looked around wondering what he should do first. He knew the festivities wouldn’t start till after the kings address so he had some time to look around the kingdom. He was pretty sure Boba had mentioned at some point the beach cliffs of Caphus being the most beautiful part of the kingdom so maybe he should check those outs.

Din approached a local and enquired about where he would find these cliffs. “Oh they’re just off the path down there” the local said pointing “they’re pretty hidden but have a look around and you’ll probably find them eventually.”

Din thanked the local before heading off down the path.

--------------

Y/n stared out of her bedroom window at the sea. She knew she shouldn’t leave but it was like her grotto was calling her and she just couldn’t resist sneaking out. Y/n undid her long and heavy ballgown, leaving it in a pile on the floor. She quickly got dressed in something much shorter and lighter before tying a dark cloak around her shoulders.

Y/n scaled down the side of the castle, she done this many times before and was sure that she could probably do this with her eyes closed. She fled down a back side path that led directly to her grotto. When she got there, she finally felt herself breathe properly for the first time that day. She felt herself stop pretending to be something that she wasn’t and finally allowed her to be herself.

She watched as the waves gently crashed against the shore. The sound was like music to her, and she couldn’t help but vocalise against the waves sound. She did this often, it provided her with a sense of calm. No two songs were the same and it was like the sea could almost sense how she was feeling and provided the appropriate soundtrack to match.

Din approached the cliffs and took in the sight before him. ‘Wow’ he thought, the cliffs were truly breathtaking, and the sea was so crisp and blue it almost looked like glass. He climbed down the side and landed on the soft sand. He closed his eyes and allowed the sound of the sea to overwhelm his senses when he heard the soft sound of someone singing.

He followed the source of the noise his feet seemingly carrying him before his brain could catch up and as he got closer the song got louder and the voice was truly perfect. Din came to a cave where the voice was coming from, and he peered inside. Inside sat a vision of beauty singing absentmindedly like she wasn’t aware of how perfect she was. She reminded Din of a siren, so beautiful and perfect whose songs lured men to their deaths and honestly if this is how he died he’d be okay with that.

Din couldn’t peel his eyes off her, so much so that he almost didn’t notice the dark figure creeping up behind her.

Silent Knight: Prologue: The World Above

Pairing: Din Djarin x f!reader (royal!au) Word Count: 765 Warnings: Death of a parent (kinda)

Masterlist

A/N: I’m currently doing the Little Mermaid musical and I’m kinda obsessed with the music so I thought why not combine it with my other new obsession: Pedro Pascal. Also apologies in advance for my lack of Star Wars knowledge.

-------------------------

“It feels so right here, warm as love. Life seems to be almost calling to me from this strange new world above”

The kingdom Caphus was renowned as one of the most beautiful kingdoms in the entire galaxy, with an abundance of flora and fauna as well as it’s people being some of the most gorgeous people you will ever see however none of the townsfolk could hold a candle to the beauty of the royal family. King Psellus and the late Queen Aurelia with a bounty of extraordinarily beautiful daughters, 7 to be exact, each one perfect to a T.

The oldest Eleanor was wise beyond her years. She knew that she was first in line to succeed her father and took on that responsibility with the poise and grace for a future queen. Everyone respected her, even those who at first rejected the notion of having a woman take the throne but she eventually won them over with her grace and due diligence.

Next was Melanie. Melanie was the socialite of the sisters, always having the biggest say in all the events happening in the kingdom. She had probably planned more balls than she had hot dinners, but she loved it, she had event planning down to a fine art and you could rest assured that if Melanie was planning an event, it would be perfect in every sense of the word. She was also adored by all, everyone wanted to talk to her, and she wanted to talk to everyone which is why she was the first of the sisters to be betrothed to her fiancée Prince Aleksander of Hilrath, the most eligible former bachelor in all the galaxy.

Following her was Arianna. Arianna could tussle with the best of them, she was a skilled swordsman, an incredible marksman and never missed with a traditional bow and arrow. She’d spent years arguing with her father to let her join the army, but he never budged on his position however after many years of pleading and bargaining her father finally compromised and said she could help train the youth army.

Next was Rosalie. Rosalie was regarded as one of the best painters in the galaxy with her art being displayed in many prestigious galleries. In social circumstances she was quiet and kept to herself when around people she didn’t know however around her family she was surprisingly loud and boisterous and could make everyone split their sides laughing.

Florence was next. Florence made jaws drop to the floor, she was practically the definition of beauty. Everyone woman wanted to be her, and everyman wanted to be with her. She had her fair share of lovers often being regarded as the royal heartbreaker she had dated someone from almost every royal lineage to no avail.

Second to last was Adeline. Adeline had so much love in her heart. She was the nurturing type through and through. She was often seen visiting the kingdom orphanage or the animal shelter to provide love for those who had no one else. She often collaborated with Melanie to plan big charity events to raise much needed funds for those less fortunate than her.

Finally, there was the youngest y/n. Y/n was the splitting image of her mother, everyone reminded her of that. However, unlike her sisters she didn’t slot easily into royal life she often felt smothered by her overprotective father and that was only amplified when her mother passed away. That didn’t stop her from rebelling against her father which is why instead of preparing for her father’s ruby jubilee she was off riding in the forest on the outskirts of the kingdom.

Eventually she reached the edge of the forest that bled out onto the bayside and under one of the cliffs lay a grotto. Hidden away from the view of anyone who passes by this was her home away from home. Filled with small knickknacks that made it feel like hers. Y/n often felt like she didn’t belong in the royal life like her sisters who were the perfect princesses as far as she was concerned. They were prim and proper, and she was clumsy and a bit rough around the edges. But in her little grotto she was free to fully be herself, there were no expectations or anyone to tell her what to do and when to do them, it was just her and the seemingly never-ending sea.

Y/n often stared out at the ocean dreaming up scenarios in her head about where she would go if she was free to whatever she wanted. She wanted to visit the world and experience different cultures but instead she was just left to stare at the sea.

A Rose By Any Other Name: Chapter 3

Pairing: Loki x Reader Fairytale: Beauty and the Beast Word Count: 815 Warnings: none

Masterlist Enchanted Tales Masterlist If you wanna request: Enchanted Tales Guidelines

---------------------------

Several weeks had gone by after my initial imprisonment. Although I wouldn’t really call it an imprisonment anymore, I had my own room and was mostly free to do whatever I pleased. Loki had also eased a bit and I found myself almost enjoying his company. We didn’t speak at great lengths to each other just the occasional small talk in passing.

I still had to clean and make meals and things but I didn’t mind it as much anymore. One thing I couldn’t stand however was how dark the place is. Which had lead me to my current position of standing on a ladder in the parlor trying to pull apart the curtains.

“What are you doing?”

I almost jumped off the ladder at Loki’s sudden appearance.

“Trying to remove these curtains” I explain “it’s so dark in here.” I continue pulling at the fabric but to no avail.

“What did you do? Nail them down?” I ask.

“Yes” Loki responds like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I continue pulling until suddenly the curtains come loose. Due to the unexpected force I go flying off the ladder. I fall from a great height waiting to hit the ground but tit never comes. Instead I am caught by a pair of arms. I look up to see Loki staring back at me.

“Thank you” I say meekly. Loki suddenly drops me onto my feet. We both stand around awkwardly. “I’ll put the curtains back up” I say.

“No don’t bother” Loki says “I’ll get use to it.”

“So...” I trail off.

“So” Loki states.

“I’ve been here several weeks now and I still don’t really know anything about you” I say.

“That’s because I haven’t told you anything”

“Well you don’t have to tell me everything” I smile “I was able to figure somethings out on my own.”

“Like what?” He asks confused sitting down on the sofa.

“Well” I say taking a seat next to him “I know you think you’re uglier than you are. That’s why you’ve covered all the mirrors.”

Loki looks down guiltily. “I didn’t always look like this you know.”

“What happened?” I ask.

“It was a punishment by my father. I made a few bad choices and I now I pay the price” Loki shrugged.

“How bad was it?” I continue prying.

“Quite” he responds “so what about you?”

“What about me?” I ask confused.

“What was your life like before coming here?” He asks.

I ponder for a moment before replying “dull.”

“Oh?”

“There’s only so much a small town can offer you” I say “and when you’ve read about such amazing places in books, you can’t help but wonder what else is out there.”

“And what places have you read about?’ He asks.

“Many” I state “from the lowly towns of Midgaard to the enchanted balls held amongst the stars here on Asgaard.”

“Yes, well trust me those balls aren’t all they’re cracked up to be” he says rolling his eyes.

“You speaking from experience?” I ask raising my eyebrow.

“Yes” he responds flatly. A silence befalls us. “Do you miss it?”

“Hmm?” I hum in question.

“Do you miss your home? Your family? Friends?”

I nod “Yes.” I let out a small chuckle “You know I spent years wishing, dreaming and scheming up ways to leave but as soon as I’m gone, I miss it. Quite ironic really.” I notice Loki’s sadden face “but there are worse places to end up.”

Loki thinks for a moment, and I swear I can practically see the cogs turning in his brain. “You should go back… for a visit of course” Loki clarifies.

I look up at him in astonishment “you mean it? I can see my father again?”

“I should think it awfully selfish of me to impart the same punishment on you as my father did to me especially considering you’ve done nothing wrong” Loki says.

“Thank you” I say almost at a loss for words at his sudden kindness.

“I’m sure there’s a horse in the stable for you” Loki says walking to a large armchair and picking up a nearby book. I nod and turn to leave I reach the threshold of the parlour door before turning and looking back at Loki. He sits and reads but I can tell that he’s not actually reading anything on feigning too.

“Do you expect me to return?” I ask softly. It is not meant as a taunt just a genuine question.

Loki looks back to me and gives me a sad smile. “No,” he states, “in fact I suspect that this will be the last time that I see you.”

I nod before turning to leave being fully aware that this may be the last time I see this ice man that I’ve grown surprisingly quite fond of over the last few weeks.

A Rose By Any Other Name: Chapter 2

Pairing: Loki x Reader Fairytale: Beauty and the Beast Word Count: 1135 Warnings: Imprisonment (?)

A/N: I’ve literally risen from the dead.

Masterlist Enchanted Tales Masterlist If you wanna request: Enchanted Tales Guidelines -------------------------------------------------------

“Now are you sure you’ve got everything?” I ask my father as I help him onto his horse.

“I’m sure,” he says leaning down to kiss my head “you worry too much. Be good while I’m gone and don’t start too many fights.”

I smile “No promises. Bye, dad.”

“Goodbye, my darling.”

And with that, my father begins his journey towards Asgaard.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I was worried. My father was supposed to have returned yesterday but it’s almost the evening and still no sign. I’m pacing through the household feeling unable to do anything but sit and worry about if my father’s okay or not.

I suddenly hear the quick patter of hoofprints and I race outside hoping to see my father but instead, I see his horse. Fear floods my body and I race towards the startled animal.

“Is my father alright?” I ask the horse who gives me a look of fear. Without thinking I throw my leg over the horse and yell “take me to him!” We race off into the dark woods.

It feels as though we travel forever until my horse suddenly takes a turn off the main path. This must be where my father is! I feel the air start to grow colder. “Strange,” I think “It’s the middle of the summer.” It grows colder and colder until snow starts to fall from seemingly nowhere. I wrap my arms around my torso having not come prepared for this weather due to it being the middle of summer!

I hear a growling sound coming from some nearby trees. I turn and see a pack of wolves all eyeing me. I let out a strangled scream before pulling on the reigns of the horse giving me a sudden burst of speed. The wolves follow at an increasing speed. I finally reach a gate to a massive palace. How have I never seen this place before?

I look back to see if the wolves are any closer but to my surprise they stopped just short of the gate almost as if they were too scared to enter the palace grounds. I jump of the horse and slowly made my way up the massive steps to the entrance of the palace. I go to knock but the doors open by themselves as if they knew I was there.

“Hello?” I call out into the palace. I hear my voice being echoed off the walls. It doesn’t appear as though anyone lived here, at least not anymore. The palace was in complete disrepair as though someone had destroyed the place. I hear a strangled scream which I instantly recognise as my fathers voice. I race off in the direction of the sound.

I clamber down a spiral staircase until I reach what appears to be a dungeon. I see my father locked in one of the cells and I race towards him.

“Papa!” I cry “what happened?”

“Y/N you must go” my father warns “there is a terrible monster who lives here.”

“I’m not leaving without you” I say trying to figure out how to get the cell door open.

“Who goes there?” A booming voice asks.

I gulp loudly before responding “my name is Y/N and I’ve come for my father.”

“Your father is a thief” the voice calls. I see a large shadow forming at the top of the spiral staircase.

“What?” I ask confused being unable to imagine my father stealing anything. “What did he steal?”

“A rose. From my garden.” A wave of guilt hits me.

“I asked for the rose. I should be the one locked up not him” I plead.

“You’d be willing to take his place?” The voice asks.

“Yes.”

The shadowy figure steps into the light and I am slightly taken aback. The figure is a tall man made of solid ice a blood-red eyes.

“Then so be it.” With that the tall man opens the cells pulls my father out and shoves me in locking the cell door behind me. The ice giant leans down to my father and screams “GO!” My father runs away in fear.

................................

I spend the next few hours trapped in the cell until finally the ice giant returns and opens the door. “Come with me” he commands. I follow him until we reached the foyer.

“I figured that while I’ve got you here I might as well make the best out of it” he grumbles “it will be your job to clean the palace, make the meals, wash the dishes and so on and so forth.”

“So like a maid?” I ask.

“Yes” he sneers “good to see that you’ve been paying attention.” With that remark he walks off to some wing in the palace. I look around the foyer, slightly overwhelmed with how much cleaning their is to do.

................................

I make a solid attempt at cleaning the foyer and after a few hours I was pretty pleased with what I had done. I look at the recently dusted grandfather clock to see that the time is 7:30. I should probably get started on dinner.

I manage to find the kitchen and I am pleasantly surprised at how well stocked it is. I’m not much of a chef but I manage to pull together a quick meal consisting of beef and some salad. I grab a recently boiled kettle and a tea cup and set off for the dining room.

I enter the dining room and am surprised to see the ice giant already sitting at the head of the table reading. He must hear me enter because he looks up and said “good, I was wondering where you had gotten to.”

“Yeah well I did have to find everything myself as I wasn’t exactly given a tour” I reply. “Nonetheless I have your dinner here...” I trail off realising I don’t know his name.

He signs “Loki.”

“Loki” I respond testing out the name.

I make my way over to him but as I do so I trip over seemingly nothing and stumble. I luckily manage to steady everything on the tray except a teacup which lands on the carpeted floor.

“Shit” I exclaim placing the tray in front of Loki before getting the cup off the floor. As I grab the cup I notice that it has been damaged slightly with a small chip in the rim.

“Um” I say not really too sure how this is going to go down. “The cup appears to have a small chip in it sorry” I say meekly. There is a long pause. I wait in fear for Loki to yell at me or something.

“It’s just a cup” Loki says finally somewhat confused at my behaviour.

I smile and let out a shaky laugh before exiting out the room.

What Is This Feeling So Sudden And New: Chapter 5

Pairing: Richie x Eddie Word Count: 1500 Warnings: Drinking, swearing, mention of the sexy times

Masterlist

Ao3

...........................

Richie and Eddie were in their dorm getting ready for Stan and Bill’s bucks nights. Richie straightened his tie.

“Wow Richie just when I thought I’d seen the worst that your wardrobe had to offer, you bring out that tie. You never cease to amaze me” Eddie said sarcastically.

Richie looked down at his tie. “You’re right.” Eddie turned around confused. “This tie is awful.”

Eddie uncomfortably laughed “um that’s not how this works, I say something mean to you, you say something mean to me and then we go on from there until you can’t think of anything else to say. Those are the rules.”

“Well perhaps I’ve had enough of playing games,” Richie said softly.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Eddie asked confused.

“I think you know.” Eddie stood there mouth slightly ajar unsure of how to respond to that.

“Right,” Eddie said firmly “we can’t go on like this.”

“I completely agree.”

“You are driving me crazy,” Eddie said, “you are making my life an absolute misery-”

“I know,” Richie said cutting Eddie off “and I’m sorry. If I’d know how you felt Eds-”

“Don’t call me Eds” Eddie snipped “now look we need to sit down, get this all out in the open and see if we can come to some mutually satisfying arrangement.”

“Arrangement?” Richie asked thinking that Eddie had phrased them forming a relationship a bit harshly.

“Yes, an arrangement” Eddie said crossing his arms.

“Okay… I wouldn’t have put it quite as… clinically as that” Richie laughed awkwardly “but if you wanna fix a date…”

“Well, what’s wrong with now?” Eddie asked confused.

“Now?” Richie asked confused as they both had to attend Stan and Bill’s bucks nights.

“Yes now. Right here. Let’s do it right here” Eddie said firmly.

“Okay…” Richie said taken aback by Eddie’s forwardness “shouldn’t I buy you dinner or something first?”

“What?” Eddie asked confused as ever “okay not tonight then. There isn’t time we’ve got the bucks nights. I’m mother hen. I’m going to hell in a stretch limo.”

“Well don’t go” Richie shrugged.

“I’ve got to go” Eddie whined, “someone’s got to carry all the sex toys.” Richie chuckled softly and so did Eddie. It was an odd moment for both of them, they weren’t used to getting along. Eddie turned to leave but Richie stopped him.

“Look I’m gonna see you this weekend at the wedding so… why don’t we try and find some time to talk things through then?” Richie offered.

“Fine” Eddie agreed “goodnight Richie.” Eddie shut the door and made his way over to Stan and Bill’s dorm.

…………………………

People we’re arriving left, right and centre for Stan and Bill’s bucks nights with both parties congregated in the couple’s dorm drinking and mingling before going out for what was shaping out to be a wild night. Everyone was talking in groups so they didn’t notice Henry subtly searching through Stan’s desk draw. Henry pulled out a photo of Bill. It was a nice photo of him during New York fall down by the Brooklyn Bridge. Ben was talking to Mike when out of the corner of his eye he noticed Henry going through Stan’s desk draw. He didn’t think anything of it until he saw Henry reaching for Bill’s phone. He wasn’t going to steal it was he? Ben left his conversation with Mike and walked over to Henry. Just as Ben was about to confront Henry, Henry called out “hey Bill your phone’s over here!”

Bill rushed over “oh thanks Henry I would’ve been fucked had I forgotten it. I think we’re all ready to head out now so let’s go get wasted!” Ben watched as Bill and Henry left something didn’t quite sit right with him but he chose to ignore it not wanting to cause a scene.

…………………………..

Eddie couldn’t help but feel slightly out of place at Bill’s buck night. This loud nightclub wasn’t really his scene and he wasn’t a massive fan of getting drunk beyond belief.

“Okay, what about Richie?” Bill asked slurring slightly. The group was playing a game that Bev had invented called would you sleep with this person. It was a hit amongst the party.

“Oh Richie definitely,” Bev said.

“What is it about him?” Bill asked.

“Sense of humour,” Ben said.

“Why do people say sense of humour when they really mean sex?” Bev giggled.

“Change of subject anyone?” Eddie asked, his request falling on deaf ears.

“He just has this air about him like he’d know his way around,” Bev said.

“Eddie your turn” Bill said nudging Eddie’s shoulder.

“Can’t we play something different like… chess?” Eddie asked.

“Come on play the game” Bev urged.

“Or else you’re gonna have to do the forfeit,” Bill said pushing the shot glass towards Eddie.

Eddie sighed “fine.” Eddie downed the shot and was immediately regretful. “Now if you’ll excuse me I just have to go and make a phone call or something.”

Eddie made his way to the bathroom before locking himself into one of the stalls. He sat down and opened his phone. ‘Why did I agree to come to this?’ he thought “I knew I’d hate it and I was right!” A couple of minutes passed when suddenly he heard Bill and Bev enter the bathroom. Bill had told Bev about his and Stan’s plan to get Richie and Eddie to stop fighting and Bev was fully on board to help. Bill noticed Eddie’s shoes under one of the stall doors and pointed them out to Bev.

Bev gathered together her best acting skills before loudly stating “well I think it’s a shame, he loves him so much.”

“Stan says it’s all he ever talks about,” Bill said.

Eddie did feel a bit bad for listening in on their conversation but considering Bill had dragged him all the way out to some club when he would much rather be tucked up in bed with a good book, it seemed like a fair compromise.

“It’s the way Richie looks at him when Eddie’s not looking that breaks my heart” Bill continued “so much yearning, there’s so much love there.”

‘I beg your fucking pardon!’ Eddie thought alarmed at what he had just heard. He was certain that Richie that vulgar, unfunny, freakishly long boy was not in love with him.

“Sometimes he says it so hard to not take hold of Eddie and kiss him,” Bev said holding back a giggle.

Eddie’s eyes went wide and he dropped his phone out of shock causing Bill and Bev to have to stifle their laughter. Richie wanted to kiss him? Maybe they were talking about a different Richie and Eddie. Bill motioned for Bev to continue.

“I don’t get why he doesn’t just tell Eddie,” Bev said.

“There’s no point” Bill stated, “you know how proud Eddie is, and he’s such an attractive man too.”

“Yeah, he is now” Bev giggled “but that whole Katherine Hepburn, ice queen act won’t be looking so clever in 10 years. If he’s not careful he’ll turn into one of those men whose idea of a ‘wild night’ is a really big tub of hummus.”

Eddie nodded. Bit harsh from Bev but a big tub of hummus wasn’t sounding too bad.

“Bev!” Bill exclaimed trying to get Bev to shut up.

“Have you noticed he’s been getting these lines like little wrinkles, like brackets around his mouth from sneering so much” Bev continued not taking Bill’s hint. Eddie’s hands flew to the sides of his mouth checking for any lines. He couldn’t feel anything but that’s not to say that they weren’t there.

“Well if he’s so bloody smart why doesn’t he treat Richie with a bit of respect, instead of looking down his nose at him all the time the stuck up, frigid, old cow?” Bev finished. Bill slapped Bev’s arm but he couldn’t be too mad at her as she was helping him and he knew that Bev tended to have no filter when she drank. Eddie rolled his eyes at Bev’s words he wasn’t really like that… was he?

“Having said all that I must emphasise that I really do like Eddie tremendously” Bev backtracked. Bill gave her a thumbs up before leaving the pair high fiving each other.

………………………..

Eddie was lying in bed alone in his dorm having left the buck’s night early not feeling in a partying mood. Richie was still out with Stan which was no surprise to Eddie, Richie had never been one to turn down a party.

‘He loves me’ Eddie thought ‘it makes sense I suppose. Maybe I have been a bit too harsh on him, a bit cold maybe. No reason why I can’t be at least….civil. After all, people can change can’t they? It is possible.”

Richie returned in the early hours of the morning and flopped down on his bed. Eddie smiled to himself ‘he loves me’ he thought before falling asleep.

What Is This Feeling So Sudden And New?: Chapter 4

Pairing: Richie x Eddie Word Count: 1613 Warnings: Swearing, allusion to suicide (blink and you’ll miss it)

Ao3

Masterlist

...................................

Eddie was sitting with Bill in his dorm listening to Bill drone on about his wedding plans. It’s not like it was boring or anything but the wedding did serve as an unwelcome reminder to how painfully single Eddie was.

“Oh we’ve found the most beautiful venue” Bill said wistfully “and the menu’s been finalised-”

“Oh dear God let it be salmon” Eddie said sarcastically.

“It is salmon!” Bill exclaimed not picked up Eddie’s sarcastic tone.

“Yay” Eddie said half-heartedly.

“And there’s something else…” Bill said softly “Stan and I have talked and we would love it if you could be my man of honour.” Eddie sat there blinking.

“Are you happy?” Bill asked uncertain.

“I’m thrilled” Eddie said breaking out into a massive grin “it is a dream fulfilled. But you must understand if you throw a bouquet at me I will throw a bottle back.”

“Point taken” Bill said.

“So who’s Stan’s best man?” Eddie asked.

………………………………..

“So I have to make a speech?” Richie asked Stan.

“Is that alright?” He replied.

“Fine, it’s your funeral” Richie joked.

“You know I prefer to think of it as more of a day of joy and celebration” Stan said sarcastically.

“I know” Richie said smiling at his best friend “I’d love to do it, of course I would.”

“Thanks Rich” Stan replied. A knock at the door was heard. “That’ll be the future mister.” Stan opened the door and in walked Eddie and Bill. Bill gave Stan a quick peck on the lips while Eddie and Richie stood and watched awkwardly.

“Bad hair day?” Richie asked Eddie. There was nothing wrong with Eddie’s hair he just couldn’t resist the urge to jab at him.

“Bad face day?” Eddie snipped.

“That is a low blow!” Richie snapped back. Bill and Stan looked at bickering pair and sighed.

“Still think that it is a great idea to have these two in the wedding party?” Stan whispered.

“There must be something you can do Stan?” Bill asked.

“Me? Why are you asking me?” Stan asked.

“This is your wedding too” Bill said crossing his arms.

“Okay” Stan sighed “I’ll think of something…”

……………...

Richie was sitting in a little booth at Starbucks sipping him caramel frappe while working on an assignment for his class. Suddenly he heard a pair of familiar voices enter. Richie looked up to see Bill and Stan enter the store. Richie thought about saying hi but decided against it as he still had an awful lot of work to be done and the two were probably on a date or something and didn’t want to be disturbed.

“You know in many ways I blame myself” Bill said to Stan “I should’ve never asked Eddie to move in with Richie knowing how he feels about him.” Richie’s ears perked up at this. He knew eavesdropping was bad but he couldn’t help himself.

“It’s not your fault Bill” Stan said.

“No” Bill said “it’s my fault for meddling. I thought that if I put them together he’d finally see what an idiot he’s been. But know the whole wedding is in jeopardy.” Stan covered his mouth trying not to laugh, he knew this plan was a bit mean but if it stopped those two from fighting then so be it.

“What did he say to you?” Stan asked.

“Same as he said to you. That he loves him more than life itself.” Richie, out of shock, drew a sharp breath and began to choke on his caramel frappe. Bill and Stan heard this and tried to muffle their laughter as best they could. Richie couldn’t believe what he was hearing there was no way that that vile, short tempered man who couldn’t stand to be in the same room as him for longer than a minute was in love with him.

“How strange!” Stan said “when outwardly he appears to hate him so much.”

“That’s just a front” Bill replied “trust me he worships him, it’s all he ever talks about.”

“I see” Stan said “so his apparent hostility is just a persona he uses to hide the romantic nature of his true feelings towards Richie.”

“Pretty much” Bill shrugged. Richie sat still eyes wide trying to process what he was hearing.

“So why hasn’t he said something?” Stan asked.

“What’s the point?” Bill said “you know what a clown Richie is. He’ll just laugh at him and bang on about how he needs his space.” Richie scoffed.

“I love Richie” Stan said “but at the end of the day he’s just not that bright.”

‘Geez thanks Stan’ Richie thought.

“But I think he’s mad not to see it” Stan continued “Eddie’s smart, he’s funny, he’s incredibly intelligent.”

“About everything except loving Richie” Bill chimed in.

“And he’s very attractive” Stan added causing Bill to slap him.

“So what are we gonna do?” Bill asked.

“I mean we’ve got to do something” Stan said.

“Yes, I mean he’s drinking all the time, bursting into tears, every time I see him it’s all ‘what am I going to do? I love him so much.’” Bill said.

“I heard he’s thinking about leaving the wedding.”

“No!” Bill cried “he can’t do that. He’s my best friend and I want him to be a part of our special day.”

“But he’s very unhappy Bill” Stan said pouting causing Bill to giggle. “I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if he… no it doesn’t matter.”

“No go on” Bill encouraged.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d been thinking about doing something stupid” Stan said. Richie was in shock, surely not the Eddie he knew.

“Well that’s it! I’m going to have to tell Richie” Bill decreed.

“No you mustn’t” Stan said “he’d rather die than show how he truly feels.”

“So what do I do?” Bill asked.

“Just wait and hope that Richie comes to his senses” Stan said. Richie deciding that he had heard enough got up and left, making sure to keep his head down so that Bill and Stan couldn’t see him. Once Richie had left Stan and Bill hi-fived.

“Phase one of plan Reddie is complete” Stan said “Now for phase two.”

…………………….

Richie couldn’t do any more work when he arrived at his dorm. He just laid in his bed staring at the celling. He just thought about Eddie. He didn’t seem to be experiencing any emotional turmoil but Richie supposed that that was the point to not show any pain on the outside and to keep it bottled up on the inside.

‘Come to think about it, it does make a lot of sense’ Richie thought ‘the hostility and everything. That’s why we can never be friends. It’s just too painful for him… Well, I suppose I’ll just have to love him back. Yeah there’ll be some fun at my expense of course, but a person’s allowed to change his mind as he matures. Love’s just one of those things a man grows into like jazz and olives, and I’m not going to let a few sarcastic remarks change the way I feel. After all the world must be peopled. When I said I’d die a bachelor I didn’t realise that I would live this long. And there’s no denying that he’s a very attractive man. Talented, funny, kind… Well he’s not kind but he’s so smart, so intelligent. About everything except loving me. The trick is to not change my behaviour, not to appear proud or arrogant about the fact that he’s obsessed with me. The trick is to be very cool and suave about the whole thing-’

Richie’s thoughts were interrupted by a loud knocking. “Who is it?” Richie called.

“It’s me” Eddie said “I forgot my keys can you let me in? I need to grab my backpack I forgot it this morning” Richie went into a mild state of panic.

“Um just making myself decent” Richie called trying to calm himself. He grabbed Eddie’s backpack off his bed.

“Can I wait that long?” Eddie sighed.

Richie swung open the door. “Can I wait that long” Richie laughed awkwardly “you’re incredible. Really you are. Here’s your backpack.” Richie passed Eddie his backpack and Eddie blinked confused at what Richie was doing

“Right…Stan said to meet him at his dorm at eight for your buck’s night” Eddie said.

“Eddie, thank you so much” Richie said.

“For what exactly?” Eddie asked confused at what the hell Richie was going on about.

“Oh you know, making the effort” Richie replied.

“If it had been any effort I wouldn’t have bothered.”

“Well still… thank you very much all the same.”

“You feeling alright?” Eddie asked confused at Richie’s unusual behaviour.

“Of course. Why?”

“You’re sweating… more than usual…” Eddie sniffed “and that smell…”

“Just aftershave” Richie said.

“Smells like a photo lab. What are you actually doing in there anyway?” Eddie asked looking past Richie into the dorm room. Eddie gasped “it’s not someone is it? Come on out sweetheart, don’t be ashamed!” Eddie called into the room.

Richie laughed “what would I be doing with someone else?’

“Richie, I don’t care. You can do what you like” Eddie said.

“Oh right” Richie said smirking “I see.”

Eddie’s eyes narrowed “what’s that look supposed to mean?”

“What look?”

Eddie pulled a face “that look.”

“Oh nothing. Nothing at all” Richie gave Eddie a wink.

Eddie paused. “Are you smoking crack?”

“No. You know just high on… life” Richie replied. Eddie walked away trying to process the odd interaction he’d just had with his roommate. Richie shut the door and lent back against it. “Oh shit” Richie whispered “I am horribly in love with him.”

AO3

Masterlist

.......................

Henry drunkenly made his way up the stair when he heard the chatter of voices. He instantly recognised who they were Bill and Bev, he listened on to their conversation making sure that he couldn’t be seen by either of them.

“I don’t know how you managed it,” Bev said, “the hot meaty breath, that sweaty face bearing down on you-”

“Hey Henry’s alright” Bill cut in. Henry’s heart sunk he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“I mean he kept talking and crying about how lonely he was, guess I just felt sorry for him” Bill continued.

‘No’ Henry thought, ‘he couldn’t mean that…’

“And does he know that do you think?” Bev asked, “that you slept with him out of pity because men love that-”

“I’d just like to forget about it please,” Bill said. Henry was filled with rage he couldn’t believe Bill had slept with him out of pity! He was going to make Bill pay for treating him like a toy…. And he had an idea of how to ruin Bill’s life for good.

……………

Downstairs at the party, Richie was talking with Mike when he saw Eddie approaching them. “Quick! Give me something to do” Richie said, “do you want a refill or something?”

“Boys,” Eddie said upon reaching the two.

“Hello,” Richie said dismissively. Mike looked between Richie and Eddie and smiled before walking away. “Mike did you want a hand with…” Richie trailed off realising Mike was being no help. Richie sighed and turn back to Eddie “so…”

“So,” Eddie said. The two sat in uncomfortable silence before Eddie spoke again “how about a dance then hey? Bit of cardiovascular?”

“No I don’t think so,” Richie said dismissively.

“I’m trying to be friendly here Richie,” Eddie said “this is it… me being friendly. I’d make the most of it if I were you.” Richie rolled his eyes before offering Eddie his hand which Eddie took. As they made their way to the dance floor the upbeat pop song changed to a slow romantic ballad. Both boys looked at each other awkward wondering if they should just call it off. Richie sighed before placing his hands on Eddie’s waist. Eddie stiffened surprised at Richie’s gesture before placing his hands on Richie’s shoulders. The two began swaying to the music awkwardly.

“So… enjoying yourself?” Richie asked not sure what to do.

“Haven’t had this much fun since children in need” Eddie said sarcastically. They two swayed awkwardly for a moment longer.

“Maybe we should just knock it on the head,” Richie said removing his hands from Eddie’s waist.

“No,” Eddie said holding Richie in place “might as well stick it out till the bitter end.” Richie just shrugged before placing his hands back on to Eddie's hips. The two looked around awkwardly when both of their eyes landed on Bill and Stan who were dancing in a corner together.

“Touching isn’t it,” Richie said sarcastically.

“A marriage of true minds,” Eddie said equally sarcastically.

“That misty faraway look in their eyes.”

“Like conjunctivitis.” Richie laughed at Eddie’s quip which took Eddie back by surprise he didn’t think that he’d ever heard Richie genuinely laugh before and as much as it annoyed Eddie it was quite a pleasant sound.

“Oh, Stan,” Eddie said imitating Bill.

“Oh, Bill,” Richie said joining Eddie’s game and imitating Stan.

“Say to me those three little words”

“I love you.”

“Blah, blah, blah.” Both Richie and Eddie let out a deep sigh as they watch Bill and Stan lean in and start making out on the dance floor.

“Oh God, here we go…” Richie sighed.

“At least when they’re kissing they’re not talking” Eddie replied.

“They’re trying though” Richie joked. A pause befell the two.

“I can’t think of anything worse than to have someone say they love me,” Eddie said after a moment.

“Me too” Richie agreed.

Eddie gave a half-smile “well at least that’s something we’ve got in common then.”

“Not much is it?”

“No, not much…” As they continued to watch Stan and Bill they saw Stan kneel down on one knee and pull out a ring box. Both Richie and Eddie’s eyes widened with shock.

“Oh God” Richie said, “Is this what I think it is?”

“Here we go” Eddie sighed.

…………………………………..

Roping Richie and Eddie into the helping redecorate was quite possibly the worst decision Stan and Bill had ever made. While they thought it would maybe bring the two closer together but it instead did the complete opposite and Richie and Eddie’s bickering was worse than ever.

“Yellow is the colour of happiness” Eddie argued.

“Perhaps but it looks tacky which makes me mad” Richie fought back. Both Bill and Stan try to cut in to voice their opinions but it was quickly overpowered by the yelling coming from the two morons sitting next to them.

“I wear yellow all the time you dick!”

“I rest my case then,” Richie said crossing his arms.

“You’re insufferable you know that!” Eddie shouted.

“Well considering you remind me of it every waking moment I would say yes I do,” Richie said loudly.

“Oh, great” Eddie huffed “so you’re just annoying to be a little prick then!”

“Oh Eddie nothing brings me more joy than to see you suffering,” Richie said placing his hands on his heart.

“Fuck you, Richie!” Eddie said storming out of Stan and Bill’s dorm. After Eddie had slammed the door shut Bill and Stan glared at Richie.

“What?” he asked feigning innocence.

“Richie…” Stan warned.

“Ugh fine I’ll go get him and apologise or whatever,” Richie said leaving to go followed Eddie. Eddie was a fairly fast-paced walker and had already made his way through almost half of the courtyard so Richie had to jog to catch up to him. Eddie rolled his eyes when he realised who was walking next to him.

“I’m sorry I don’t agree with you that yellows an ugly colour or that lilies are funeral flowers but I happen to love both Bill and Stan and want them to be happy-” Eddie huffed angrily

“So do I-” Richie cut in but Eddie continued.

“And it deserves some basic respect and if you don’t agree-”

“I do agree-”

“Then you can pack all of your god awful Hawaiian shirts into a little plastic bag and piss off back to Derry” Eddie finished stopping to face Richie.

“Tell me do you ever listen to what other people have to say?” Richie asked bitterly

“If someone’s worth listening too” Eddie replied.

“And how do you know I’m not?” Richie asked.

“Past experience,” Eddie said without missing a beat.

“Well I imagine it must get pretty lonely up there on the moral high ground”

“Oh no it’s wonderful,” Eddie said, “what’s it like down there in the gutter?”

“You snob”

“You ape”

“Prick”

“Clown.” Richie paused. “Come on Richie think faster” Eddie said smirking.

“You sour, cold-hearted, joyless dick!” As soon as the words left Richie’s mouth he knew it was a mistake. The look on Eddie’s face confirmed that. He looked like a wounded puppy dog and the guilt hit Richie like a bus.

“Right, okay,” Eddie said quietly staring at the floor like he was trying not to cry “here’s how it’s gonna go we’re gonna work through this year pretending like each other doesn’t exist and then at the end we graduate and never see each other again agreed?”

“Fine by me.”

...................

Richie and Stan watched as Bill and Eddie carried Richie’s stuff into the dorm. Eddie was talking to Bill about something and it was clearly funny as Bill let out a hearty laugh. Stan sighs wistfully. “Hear that Richie?” Stan asked his friend.

“What?” Richie asked confused.

“His laugh almost as if a choir of angels are singing just for me,” Stan said going into what Richie referred to as ‘heart eyes mode’. Richie’s eyes flicked between Stan and Bill and he raised his eyebrows.

“You’re not going to do anything stupid are you?” Richie asked.

“Like what?”

“The M-word” Richie said accusingly.

“No. Of course not” Stan said his voice slightly higher than usual “but it wouldn’t be such a bad idea though would it?”

“If you say so,” Richie said turning around to unpack some of his things.

“You don’t think he’s gorgeous?” Stan asked.

“He’s very nice Stan,” Richie said blandly “I just prefer something a little less…obvious”

“Like what?” Stan asked confused “I mean who?”

“I don’t know,” Richie thought for a moment “him I suppose.” Stan looked to where Richie was gesturing to surprisingly see Eddie.

“Eddie!” Stan said shocked.

“Yeah it’s a purely objective statement,” Richie said, “like saying you prefer a Ferrari to a Porsche.”

“Bit rude isn’t it, comparing men to cars,” Stan said.

“Depends on the car” Richie joked “he’s a very attractive guy, Eddie… Or at least he would be if he wasn’t such a small carnivorous dinosaur with vicious little teeth.” As Richie was saying this Eddie walked past and flipped Richie off.

“Velociraptor” Stan stated.

“Yeah exactly.” Richie made his way over to Eddie eager to annoy him just a little more. It was one of his favourite past times. “Just discussing our favourite dinosaurs” Richie said.

“I’m sure” Eddie replied not looking up from his phone. A pause fell over the two.

“Eds-“

“Don’t call me Eds,” Eddie said quickly.

“Can I speak honestly?” Richie asked.

“I don’t know can you?” Eddie quipped still not looking at Richie.

“Why do you hate me so much?” Richie asked.

“I don’t know perhaps it’s the way you care about nobody but yourself, you’re loud obnoxious and you think that you’re better than everyone else despite you very clearly being worse,” Eddie said bitterly.

“Pretty sure it’s just cos I bet you in that fourth-grade spelling bee” Richie teased.

“You’re impossible” Eddie huffed, storming away.

………………….

Almost a week had passed of Richie and Eddie living together and the entire dorm complex had had enough. They’d received noise complaint after noise complaint, the police were even called at one stage as someone passing by had heard the fighting and though there was a domestic violence issue afoot. Turns out Richie had just hidden Eddie’s laptop.

To try to avoid any further police intervention Stan and Bill decided to talk to Richie and Eddie the night of Henry’s party to try and get them to calm down a little bit.

Bill and Eddie were getting ready at Eddie’s dorm. Bill was going as Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future and Eddie was going as Harry Potter. As the pair were getting ready Bill was trying to coerce Eddie into getting along with Richie.

“I’m not saying you guys need to become best friends or anything but just try not to fight so much” Bill sighed feeling like what he was saying was landing on deaf ears. Eddie went to object but Bill persisted “And if you must fight do it in hushed tones as to not wake the dead.”

Eddie went to object again but saw the distressed look on Bills face and realised that maybe he should consider his friend’s feelings before his own. With a heavy sigh, Eddie admitted defeat “I suppose I should try to be civil. Like you said it’s only for one year and then I’ll never have to see his ugly face again.”

“Thanks, Eddie,” Bill said with a small smile not allowing himself to get his hopes up quite yet “you know if you actually gave Richie a chance I actually think that you two would get along well.”

“Okay, Bill let’s not get ahead of ourselves” Eddie laughed.

“No, I mean it. I have a feeling that you’d be great friends… Maybe even more” Bill smirked.

Eddie rolled his eyes “Jesus Christ you get one boyfriend and suddenly you think that everyone should be in love.”

“So you’re saying that you don’t want a boyfriend?” Bill asked.

“I’m not saying that… I’m just saying that even the idea of me and Richie ever forming some sort of relationship is absurd.” Bill simply nodded his head, but Eddie saw the smug look on his face. “C’mon let’s get going. I need a fucking drink.”

………………….

Down the hall, Richie and Stan were getting ready. They were both going as Spider-man upon Richie’s insistence so that they could recreate the Spider-man meme. Stan was giving Richie a very similar talk to the one Bill gave Eddie.

“Come on Richie can’t you be the bigger person here and just move past whatever differences you have?” Stan asked exasperated.

“But Stan-” Richie tried to plead.

“No buts Richie!” Stan said loudly before softening his voice “I’ve really like living with Bill for these past days it feels so amazing just to wake up every morning and have his beautiful face be the first thing I see. Please don’t ruin this for me.” Richie finally saw who he was hurting, it wasn’t Eddie it was Stan and Richie felt terrible.

“Okay,” Richie said quietly and Stan’s entire face illuminated with joy.

“Thank you, Richie,” Stan said pulling Richie in for a hug “now let’s go get wasted.”

…………………..

At the party, the group had split up all electing to get wasted in different corners of the very loud and much-crowed frat house. While it was a rare sight to see Bill and Stan not together Stan had something else on his mind that he didn’t want Bill to find out. Stan sat in a corner of the house fiddling with a ring box talking silently to himself “it would be my honour if… no… I humbly ask you to consider… I’d be over the moon if-”

“Nice to see you here,” a voice said making Stan jump. Stan turned to see Henry who had come dressed as the joker now standing next to him, this immediately made Stan tense.

“Henry” Stan acknowledge the man next to him “having fun?”

“Oh you know me,” Henry said “crying on the inside.”

“So Bill eh? Smart move” Henry said taking a puff of his cigarette.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Stan asked defensively.

“Nothing,” Henry said putting his hands up “just that he’s a very pretty boy that’s all… very popular.” Stan followed Henry’s eye line to see Bill and Richie standing too close for Stan’s liking. Stan knew that Richie was a flirt but he wouldn’t go so far as to flirt with Stan’s boyfriend would he? He knew he wouldn’t do it sober but put a bit of alcohol in Richie and there’s no telling what he’ll do.

“I’m going to get another drink. Can I get you anything?” Henry asked Stan, didn’t respond to Henry and kept his eyes trained on Bill and Richie. “Stan?” Henry asked snapping Stan out of his trance.

“What?” Stan asked.

“Drink?”

“No, I’m good thanks,” Stan said walking over to where Bill and Richie were standing. As he approached the pair he heard Bill and Richie giggling like little school girls.

“Bev’s looking for you,” Stan said to Bill.

“Oh” Bill said seeing Stan appear “where?”

“Upstairs,” Stan said with a fake smiling as Bill walked off.

“Bye! Ciao!” Richie waved. Once Bill had left Stan pulled Richie aside.

“Give it a rest will you,” Stan said sternly.

“What? What have I done?” Richie asked.

Across the room, Eddie saw Stan and Richie talking and decided to go say hi as he’d mostly tried to avoid them all night. Well, he tried to avoid Richie and in turn had avoided Stan but Eddie quite enjoyed Stan’s company and wanted to say hi.

As Stan left to follow Bill Richie was left confused as to what he had done to annoy Stan he hadn’t picked any fights with Eddie or done anything particularly tenacious. Richie pulled down his Spider-man mask.

“Stan? Stan?” Richie heard someone shout from behind him. Richie turned to see Eddie.

“It is Stan isn’t it?” Eddie joked smiling. This left Richie confused until he realised that Eddie thought that he was Stan. “Come on, I haven’t seen you all evening let’s chat,” Eddie said grabbing Richie’s hand and pulling him to a nearby sofa. Richie looked around to see if there was a way to escape but found none.

‘Well shit’ he thought.

“Where’s your sidekick then Stan?” Eddie asked.

“Sidekick?” Richie asked confused.

“Probably making his way through the buffet” Eddie laughed “seeing how many chicken fingers he can fit into his mouth.”

“What do you mean?” Richie asked offended.

“Well let me put it this way. They say stress is supposed to make you lose weight so Richie’s final year of college must be the breeziest thing ever” Eddie said puffing out his cheeks.

Richie mumbled something that Eddie didn’t quite catch. “Sorry I can’t hear you, Stan. Why don’t you take your mask off?” Eddie offered.

“I said he still seems quite popular with the fellas and ladies,” Richie said defending himself.

“Yeah well, that’s what he likes you to believe,” Eddie said “But that long hair makes him look like someone’s dropped a ton of melted chocolate on his head. And has he started growing a beard because if so someone needs to tell him to stop, he looks like he’s got food smeared around his mouth.”

“Just as well you never have to kiss him then,” Richie said.

“And for that, I thank God every day.”

“I’ll tell Richie what you said,” Richie said threateningly.

“Fine tell him,” Eddie said, “he’ll just fire back with some smart ass remark and it won’t be funny or make sense and nobody will be listening to him anyway-”

Richie had heard enough at this point and got up “would you excuse me for one moment.”

“Stan?” Eddie asked, “Was it something I said?”

Richie saw his friend Mike dancing in the corner and decided he needed someone to vent to. Richie made his way over pulling his mask off his face. “Richie!” Mike said as he saw his friend approaching “just so you have some warning one of the boys have hired a karaoke machine-”

“He is Satan,” Richie said annoyed “he looks normal but he’s Satan in human form.”

“Who?” Mike asked confused.

“Eddie” Richie stated like it was obvious.

“Ah of course,” Mike said knowingly “come on let's get you a drink.”

................................

There are some things that people just know like how you can never eat just one Pringle and that horizontal and vertical stripes absolutely do not go together. One thing the people of Derry knew all too well was that Richie and Eddie despised each other. No one was too sure how it started but they knew it was never going to end. They always seemed to be at war with each other throughout school and at college, this only seemed to worsen (you should’ve seen what went down when they found out that they were both going to NYU). Both entering their final year of college they were both thrilled by the fact the prospects that they would probably never see each other again.

“Whoop finally one more year and then I’m outta here,” Richie said entering his dorm room and seeing his best friend and roommate Stan. Ah yes there was another reason Eddie and Richie saw each other way more than either party would prefer, Richie’s best friend and roommate Stan was dating Eddie’s best friend and roommate Bill which irritated both of them to no end.

“How’s it feel to be back with your best buddy Richie?” he asked Stan to which Stan rolled his eyes.

“We literally saw each other almost every day over the summer break”

“Yeah but now we get to live together again- hey Stan where’s your stuff?” Richie asked noticing that Stan’s stuff was missing. Stan coughed awkwardly knowing that what he was about to tell Richie would go down like a lead balloon.

“So here’s the thing me and Bill want to move in together after college but we got to talking and before we dive in headfirst and get an apartment together we want to make sure it works so we’ve decided to spend senior year rooming together,” Stan said unable to make eye contact.

“Okay… that makes sense I guess. So who am I gonna room with?” Richie asked and Stan gulped.

“Well…”

……………………………….

“I can’t believe we’re only gonna be roommates for one last year,” Eddie said to Bill sadly.

“Well, actually Eddie this year I’m actually going to be rooming with Stan. You know to get us prepared for life after college” Bill said looking down at the floor.

“Oh” Eddie said sadly “well I’m happy for you Bill at least one of us has their life at least somewhat sorted. So who’s going to be my new roomie?”

Bill stayed silent for a moment before responding “listen, Eddie, please don’t overreact…”

Eddie looked at Bill’s face and just knew who his new roommate was going to be. “You haven’t, you wouldn’t….” Eddie breathed.

“Look Eddie it’s just for one year. Surely you can put aside your differences for one year” Bill pleaded.

“The one-man Bill, the one man in the world you know I hate-” Eddie said angrily.

“Hate’s an awfully strong word…”

“Oh alright then despise, abhor, loathe shall I go on?” Eddie said crossing his arms.

“Well, Eddie he’s moving in here whether you like it or not so could you please try not to be an utter dickhead for once,” Bill said firmly.

“Couldn’t we just buy a nice new desk or something?” Eddie tried to plea. Bill shook his head. “Oh alright, fine I’ll think about it.” Eddie gave in, not being able to deal with Bill’s stares anymore.

“Thanks, Eddie but I’m afraid he’s moving in any hour now so…”

“I swear to God Bill you better name your first child after me!”

……………………………

Hours passed with Eddie nervously tapping his foot on the floor which made Bill more nervous. Suddenly the door opened and in walked Stan and Richie with Richie mid-way through telling Stan a story. “And then I swear to God Stan in walks Chris Evans! I mean can you believe-”

“I’m amazed you’re still talking Richie, no one’s listening to you,” Eddie said standing up.

“Eddie you’re here,” Richie said through gritted teeth.

“Yeah this is my dorm dipshit,” Eddie said crossing his arms.

“Tut tut tut” Richie said “our dorm.”

Eddie took a deep breath trying to calm himself as to not kill the man in front of him. “I like this by the way,” Eddie said gesturing to Richie’s Hawaiian shirt which he was wearing “not many men can pull off the divorced dad look.”

“Alright you two now is not the time,” Bill said interjecting. Just as Richie went to retaliate there was another knock at the door.

“Come in,” Bill said. In walked Henry Bowers, this made Stan stand up straighter. It was another well-documented fact that Henry was in fact enamoured with Bill which Stan wasn’t particularly pleased about. He wasn’t an idiot despite Bill instance that they were just friends he saw the way Bowers looked at Bill and he knew that look far too well because it was the same way he looked at Bill.

“Sorry am I interrupting?” Henry asked.

“No,” Bill said.

“Yes” Stan said at the exact same.

“Sorry I’ll come back later,” Henry said going to close the door.

“No, Henry its fine” Bill said glaring at his obviously jealous boyfriend “what did you want?’

“Well, I was wondering if you wanted to grab lunch Bill,” Henry asked. Stan opened his mouth to object but Bill got in first.

“Yes actually that would lovely” Bill said before turning back to Richie, Stan and Eddie “you lot better have worked this out by the time I get back. Bye love.” Bill pecked Stan on the cheek causing Bowers to roll his eyes at the display of affection. Bill then left closing the door behind him.

……………………………………

Bill and Henry walked side by side through one of the many parks in New York, Bill had always loved the scenery New York had to offer. “So the boys and I are throwing a party for all the seniors at mine this weekend to kind of welcome everyone back and I was hoping you’d come,” Henry said.

“Oh, of course, that sounds great” Bill smiled.

“Great, just so you know it’s a costume party.”

“Didn’t realise it was Halloween already” Bill teased.

“Didn’t realise I needed a reason to throw a costume party” Henry retorted.

“Touché” Bill replied. An awkward silence befell the pair and there was something on Bill’s mind which he had to talk to Henry about.

“Henry,” Bill said stopping to turn and face him “it’s got to stop.”

“What has?” Henry asked feigning innocence.

“The letters, the phone calls, the flowers…” Bill said trailing off.

“I can buy someone flowers can’t I?” Henry tried.

“Not anymore, no. I’m very grateful but I’m with Stan and I love him so much-” Bill was cut off by Henry.

“But I’ve never felt like this about anyone. Bill…”

“I’ve seen you outside my dorm Henry in the middle of the night, it’s not fair, I don’t like it, it scares me-” Bill was once again cut off by Henry.

“I’m sorry” Henry apologised.

“You can’t force someone to love you, Henry,” Bill said.

“You can’t force someone not to either” Henry replied.

“But you will find somebody else,” Bill said grabbing Henry’s hands “I know you will you’re a great guy.”

“Am I?” Henry asked with disbelief.

“Of course you are.”

Henry paused “and that night we spent together… it wasn’t because you felt sorry for me was it?’

Bill gulped before smiling again. “Of course not. You’re just lonely that’s all. You’ll find someone else like I found Stan and you’ll fall in love again and then we can go back to being good friends.”

Henry said nothing and just nodded his head and Bill pulled him into a tight hug.
