The Winter Solstice has always been an important day in Night Court. The celebration and gifts and everything about it is always perfect. It has to be and Rhys makes sure of that. This time especially since it Feyre's birthday too. He goes all out. Doesn't matter if it's just between family, he still did his best.

I wear red cotton dress with white puff sleeves and stockings, matched with pearl earrings. Mor dressed me up tonight making sure I look my best. She even painted on my face with somethings and even though I thought it'd be too much, I love how I look.

We were allowed to bring one guest if we wanted tonight, I didn't invite anyone but mor didn't let the chance go. She invited two people a female who she met at Rita's and a male named Gabriel, I think. When I reminded her that the option was only one guest she told me Gab can be my date to which I had laughed but agreed.

We sit around the living room, talking and waiting for others to come. Rhys, Feyre and Azriel were already there when Mor and I arrived, our guest informing us they'll be a little late. We are now waiting for Cassian, Elain and surprisingly Nesta. I have to admit, I was a little shocked hearing she said she was coming too but then I got to know that Feyre had threatened her to come, using the small apartment she is living in at the moment.

I and Mor were conversing our gifts to everyone when Cassian came exclaiming his arrival. I take him in while he wishes everyone. His tan skin and tousled half ponytail, those silky hair I always wanted to run my finger through and those amazing Hazel eyes that I wished were always on me. His casual clothing hiding those strong muscles that always make me drool. I never could pay attention to my morning training sessions because if he was near, all I can ever think about is how hard they'd feel against my body.

A pinch to my elbow makes me yell out and snap my eyes to the provider of my pain. I glare at mor, rubbing my sore skin I exclaim,"What?!". She raises her eyebrow at me and says,"Stop looking at him like that. You're drooling."

I gasp,"I am not! You-"

"Hello my dear friends." Cassian interrupt me. I turn to him, towering over me he smirks. I look at the end of his tugged up lips. Oh what I would do to feel those full lips wrapped around my nip-

Nope, not going there. I blink out that thought as quickly as it came and smile in return. I greet him back, hearing Mor do the same. They talk about something which I'm not paying attention to and use that time to adore him. Oh how good he looks. My eyes trail from his eyes to his sharp jaw and his stubble. I wonder how those tiny hair would feel like if we kiss. They'd tickle my chin, deffinately. I'd like that. And I'd for sure like feeling them on my sensitive skin when his head is between my le-

No!

I avert my eyes and scold myself for thinking these lewd imagines with him right in front of me. I sigh to myself and try to fosuc on what he is telling Mor. I fix my eyes to his neck knowing if I see his lips again I'll go crazy. But their voices again drone out in the background when I focus on his neck. How is it that I find even his neck so sexy? I want to suck on it. Leave a little trail of red markings with my lips. Even bite a little as I sink down on his co-

"Are you even listening to me?" I hear his voice, bringing me from my imagination. I blink up at him in embarrassment when I realized he had said something to me and I didn't listen. My face flushed with heat as I try to recall what he said.

"I-um," I stammer glancing at Mor in hopes she helps me a little but all she does is give me a knowing look. Cassian chuckles above me and I look back at him.

"What's gotten into you? Are you alright?" He gives me a soft smile. "I-yeah! Yeah of course I am! Yeah." I nod and give a, what hopefully is a, convincing smile. My few loose hair strand away in front my face, before I can raise my hand to put them back, cassian's hand tucks it behind my ear. I freeze. The callus skin of his hand feel too good against my ear. It lingers their for a second before droping back down. I stop myself from shivering from the intensity of these situation.

A yell of Mor's name catches our attention and we all look at the female and male that just walked through the door.

Right. I forgot we invited plus ones. Gabriel's eyes lock with mine and he smiles, walking towards us. I observe him. His white skin and ocean blue eyes with high checkbones and sharp jaw. I have definitely seem him before. I juat dont remember where. Mor introduces five of us and walks away with her friend leaving Gab, Cass and Me alone.

"Y/N, Its been a while." Gab smiles. I, in return, and nod to him, stilling trying to remember him and failing miserably.

Maybe I should juat ask him... No that would be rude. Wouldn't it? Oh I don't remember anyway so might as well.

I clear my throat,"I'm sorry if I offend you by saying this but I don't really remember you." I smile apologetic, watching his face fall and nod. "It's alright," He nods,"I understand, I mean it was almost a century ago. But I can try to make you remember." He tilts his face.

"I would love that." I breath out a chuckle. I notice cassian's face switching between Gab and me depending on the speaker.

"Well, it was seven decades ago, on starfall. We met in the celebration party and got along well, wether that be our personalities or the alcohol, I don't remember." We laugh. Cassian still listening. "That night I walked you to your house and well, we kissed." My eyes widen as forgotten memories flash through my eyes.

"Oh, I remember! We kissed and I invited you in and we-" I abruptly stop remembering how the rest of the night went. We didn't even make it to the bedroom. After the adrenaline ran out along the drunkness, we had been so tired that we fell asleep on the floor. "Yes, We did." He eyes fall to my lips, down to my body and come back to my eyes.

Cassian frowns. He clears his throat and I look at him. Confusion fills me when I something like anger in his eyes. Gab's words makes me look at him again. "So how have you been?"

I go to answer but the words get stuck in my throat when I fell a pair of arms hug my waist. I look down, seeing the arms of the man I adore so much. My heartbeat fastens when he pulls me back to his chest. I gasp when my back touches his hard muscles. He puts his chin on top of my head and my heart feels like it will fall out of my chest. Gab's eyes take in the massage Cassian is clearly stating.

Stay away.

I know almost all versions of Cassian. His friend version with me. The brother version with Az and Rhys. The teacher version during training sessions. This is new. I love this version of Cassian too whoever he is. It's exciting.

"I'm doing really good." I answer Gabriel's question, blushing profoundly. "And you? What are you doing nowadays?"

He answers but I hear none of it, thanks to a certain lord of bloodshed wrapped around me. I'm sure he can feel how hard my heart is beating right now and still choosing to ignore it.

All I can think about how hot the veins on his arms are. And how large his hands they are. How they fold around waist perfectly. How his two hands cover my entire stomach. How good it would feel it they tighten around me. How his big palm would feel covering my neck. I bet I'd look and feel so small with his chest passed tightly to my back, one hand choking me, and other wrapped around my waist holding tightly so that I don't move and have no choice but to take everything he gives me while thrusting-

"Are you listening to me, Y/N?" Gabriel's question intrupts me. I try focus on him again, smile and answer,"Yes. Of course."

This is gonna be a long night.

Can you do mick x vet reader

yes ofc i love this trope sm sm MASTERLIST

synopsis; you fall for the one boy that was off limits.

warnings; 18+, mentions of sex

Having the famous Sebastian Vettel, formally infamous by any anti-redbull believer, it's an interesting life. Following him around the paddock and having the opportunity to meet amazing drivers and celebrities is exhilarating.

"Papa, I promise I'll be good, it's been years since I've come!" You pleaded the blonde, who looked rather unconvinced.

"I'm sceptical Y/N, I don't want to see more disgusting articles about who's house you're stumbling out of the next morning." He slyly shot at you, leaving you agape.

"I just got slut shamed by my own father. You had a hoe phase too! Or are we forgetting multi-21 flirting?" You fired back, presenting you with a quirked eyebrow from him.

In all honesty, as you grew up with the drivers, right around the age of 17-19 you were known to have flings with drivers. Not to name names but a certain Leclerc and Gasly. And right after it was leaked to the news, you got a ban from your father to go to the races.

And here you were, 2 years later, begging to go.

"Okay okay, I'll let you start coming again but only if you promise me one thing. Stay away from Mick." Said sternly, with a warning eye.

You tried to not take it as a challenge, knowing he'd be furious if you did.

"Okay, but if he tries first that's not my fault!" You shouted out in a sing song tune, skipping away.

He sighed and shook his head, hoping you wouldn't try with Mick. He mentored Mick closely and treated him as one of his own; in his eyes he was a sweet angel.

Hockenheimring; Germany

Walking up to the familiar hustle and bustle of the paddock you felt relaxed, finally home. Paparazzi and fans stunned by your sudden appearance, a frenzy of pictures as you streamed past the crowds.

Popping into different garages and greeting old friends you wound up in the Haas garage. In your mind you were looking for Kevin, hoping you could slightly bump into Mick.

When you got your ban from watching the races in person it was before Mick joined, having never actually meeting him apart from hearing him from Papa.

"KKKKK-MAG!" You announced like a sports host, seeing him jog up with his arms open for a hug.

He turned around swiftly, face lighting up to his signature smile. You considered Kevin to be like a second dad, as your dad was away quite a lot even when in the same paddock.

"Y/N!" He gasped, pulling into a small hug before you broke into your usual small talk-gossiping sessions.

"No way! Did he actually say that-" Kevin gabs, before pausing mid sentence.

You see him look confused, almost as though he was looking through you. You feel a light tap on the shoulder, breaking you out of your puzzled face. You were met with a handsome boyish face, adorned with piercing blue eyes.

"Y/N isn't it?" He spoke, a soft smile painting his face.

"Uhm yeah. You're Mick right?" You lied through your teeth, fully knowing it was him. It's not like you spent an hour googling him after your dad said not to do anything more than saying hi.

"Mhm. What you doing talking to this old dog?" He joked, lightly punching Kevin on the shoulder, who in turn did not look impressed.

"We're catching up, matter of fact, I've been told that I have a youthful soul." Kevin retorts, giving a small eye roll.

"Love to hear more of this catfight, but unfortunately have to run to the Aston garage. Bye guys!" You called out, swiftly walking out.

"Bye!" Mick loudly yelled, earning a strange look from Kevin.

"You like her already? God you're desperate."

"I only said bye." He muttered back.

AFTER THE RACE;

Insta!Joel x Fem!reader

Serie Masterlist

Summary: You're on your first date with Joel, things get personal when he asks about your family.

Rating: +18 (mdni)

Words count: 3.5 k

Warnings: age gab (Joel is in his late 40's. Reader is in her early 20's.) bit of touching, deep conversation about divorce (that brings you to tears), overthink 24/7, insecure, lack of confidence

Note: Hello loved ones. It's been a while since the last chapter, my life has had ups and downs lately, I'm better which is what matters, mental health comes first. It was hard for me to finish this chapter, the motivation didn't reach me but it's finally here, I hope to continue to have your support and that you want to know how this story continues. I hope you are patient because my life is turned upside down. Have a nice start to the week.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_

As I looked out the car window, I could feel his gaze for a while. We were both quiet, but it was nothing uncomfortable, I was enjoying the trip with the simple fact that he was by my side.

His features were relaxed, I couldn't get over the fact that he was so damn attractive.

As I looked at it, in the distance I could visualize a beautiful farm, with large stables and a beautiful white fence.

"Is that where we'll be?" I said, pointing to the place, amazed at its size.

"Yes honey" he looked at you for a second smiling at you

When he parked the truck and we got out of it, I couldn't help but jump in happiness. The place was beautiful, very green and fresh.

It was everything I imagined it would be as a child

Everything happened quickly, the owner of the place who knew Joel gave us a tour of the place. Joel couldn't stop smiling when he saw me and neither did I, it felt weird to be here with him, finally being able to touch him and listen to him was the best, honestly I never thought I would get to meet him in person. I didn't think he would be interested in getting to know me, especially knowing that I'm too young for him.

I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable because of my age, I know it's totally different to date someone younger than it is to date someone older, I wanted him to see that I'm mature and that I can handle this, I didn't want him to see me as a little girl who doesn't know what she wants in life.

I questioned a lot thinking that he would be different than he seemed, but I was wrong. I had expectations, yes, there is nothing wrong with having them, I could say that he meets them, he has been gentlemanly, he has not made me feel uncomfortable, he asked my permission to hold my hand when I got out and got into the truck, he has not made any comments outside of place, he is very kind,attractive and God his gaze...has me on the floor.

Who would have imagined that I would be here today, with a man 27 years older than me on a date... Who would have thought that what I longed for with an actor, I was living with a man I met on Instagram.

Life does take a turn from one moment to the next.

I just needed someone who saw me, cared, listened to me and wanted to be with me, and to be honest...I think he can give me more than that.

"Have you come before?" you said seeing how he put the seat on the horse and fastened it with the leather straps

"yes"

"Oh" you sounded a little disappointed as you imagined other women coming to the same place along with him.

He paused as he secured the seat and sat up to turn to see you.

"I have come with my daughter, she likes horses very much just like you" he smiled at you as the lord of the stable opened the doors

"Telling me that I share a taste with your daughter sounds like you want me to be friends with her" you said and a little laugh escaped from your lips

"No haha" you looked at him while laughing and noticed the frown lines on the sides of his eyes.

"That would be very rare darling"

You followed his footsteps to one side of him coming out to the side of the corral where there was a horse and another lord. How it was not Joel's first time, he already knew the route to walk the horse through the forest, it was not a long route, it was a bit short in fact, it was more than anything so that the horses could be walked and at the same time they exercised.

"Come I'll help you up," Joel said as he took you by the low waist and pulled you closer to the horse so you could get up.

Mr. Palmer held the horse's leash while Joel was the one who would help you up.

"Rest your foot right here in the stirrup, are you going to hold on to the horn so you can propel yourself, okey sweetheart?" he was explaining as his hand stayed on your lower back and his gaze strolled across your face.

"yes" you nodded

"Okey, let's go"

You did the same as Joel told you, you put your left foot in the stirrup, you stretched your left hand so you could reach the horn and be able to gain momentum. The moment you took momentum, Joel's hands held both sides of your hip helping you up, what made you nervous was the growl that came from his lips when you climbed.

You settled into the seat by backing up and being able to give Joel space in front of you. This one look at you with a frown

"I thought you wanted to learn," he told you as he looked up and rested his hand on your left calf.

"I want to see how you do it, you have more experience" you looked at him smiling "apart they do not let a beginner take the horse" you said whispering so that Mr. Palmer did not listen, but he still did

You both turned to see him and he shook his head stating your comment. Joel just laughed shaking his head and got on the horse effortlessly.

You remained silent as you entered the forest, it was a very beautiful place, quiet and full of vegetation. Joel was telling you that Mr. Palmer's family has kept the place for more than 40 years, since his grandparents and uncles had opened the business.

"When was the first time you came?" you asked him as you rested your right cheek on his back, your hands were on the side of his hip completely surrounding it.

"A few years ago, Sarah was 4 years old when I brought her" he turned his face so he could check you and he look back to the front

"Her mom had just left me and… Sarah was constantly looking for her, so I tried to find a way for her to be happy again" he gave a sigh and you just tightened your grip a little to show compassion, to which he lowered one hand and rested it on yours.

"When I brought her together with Tomy she had the biggest and most beautiful smile, her eyes shone from how happy she was, since that moment I have always brought her, she was even in riding lessons but she leave it for football" he laughed at the end and you felt the vibrations of his laughter through your arms

"Who leaves horse riding for football? Haha" you laughed next to him

"Apparently my daughter does" he turn to you and smile at you.

A little before reaching the halfway point, Joel stops the horse and you lift your face off his back.

"What are you doing?" you said as you took your hands off his waist to give him room and get off the horse.

"You're going to take it," he said with a smile as he beckoned you to move forward.

"You're crazy, they're going to scold us," you said panicking.

"Nothing happens, I promise you, we will change places before arriving"

You looked at him for a few seconds and he just looked at you with his puppy eyes

"Trust me"

You just nodded and stood forward as he climbed in the back. He passed his hands that still held the rope under your arms and gave a light blow to your forearms. You sighed deeply as you felt him so close to your body, to feel his breath on the back of your neck and his arms… his damn big arms around you.

What a damn agony.

You didn't know if he felt uncomfortable being here with you, a place he's only shared with his daughter and brother, a place that has history. A place where people know him, what would they think of him… Will he care what people say?

Nope, I don't think so.

"Tell me," his voice echoed on the back of your neck, making your skin crawl, "do you live alone or with your parents?"

"I live with my mother and my brother" You turned your head a little and stood in profile in front of him

"I think that question had to be the first thing I knew about you," you both laughed a little

Joel cleared his throat and asked.

"And your father? If you don't mind I asked"

"it's fine… He doesn't live with us."

"Since when?" his voice sounded serious

"Mmh it's been a while," you paused and looked down looking at his forearms that were slightly resting on your thighs, "they've been separated since I was 8 years old, and divorced when I was 13."

"I'm sorry to hear that, I guess it wasn't easy for you."

You raised your right hand and directed it to his, caressing the veins that were marked in it

"It wasn't… It was hard for a while, I think… From the beginning I knew that everything would end sooner or later, and in fact I wanted it to end, the 8-year-old girl could not bear to see her parents fight, she knew that every time they started a conversation it would end in a fight"

You sighed heavily as your lips trembled. You felt a warm aura envelop your hands, when you looked you realized that Joel had wrapped his hands with yours, transmitting that warmth you needed to feel safe. Joel rested his chin slightly on your shoulder, while you rested your head on his chest.

"I believe that no child should see their parents fight, they should not be put in that situation, for some it can be traumatic to hear their parents yelling at each other" you sighed as you felt his chest slowly rise and fall "it projects a bad image of the love and respect they have for each other, it makes them reflect in some way, it makes them feel powerless of not being able to do anything"

"That's right" the lump you felt in your throat was going to explode at any moment, you couldn't speak remembering everything.

Joel noticed

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about this, I know it's hard" He raised one of his hands and stroked your hair "When you're ready I'll listen to you, I'll be here for you"

"It's just that.." You took a breath and lightly squeezed his left hand that was still holding you "My inner child has a hard time talking about it, her childhood was summed up by her parents' divorce"

You were silent for a few seconds, you knew Joel would listen to you, it didn't matter if you cried, you really wanted him to know you, to know your past. It was painful for the girl who lives in you, but that girl learned at a young age that divorces were normal, that couples fight all the time, that love ends sooner for some people. Forever is nothing more than a simple word that can be broken, as delicate as a tightrope that depends on two people.

"Sometimes I feel that the climax of my life was that, I'm grateful that it happened, I think it was still a lesson in some way, it helped me to form my person and see things in a different way, I always tell myself that it was the best"

You felt a little tense and couldn't help but ask

"Do you think it's depressing for me to think like that?" You turned your face to look at him out of the corner of your eye, being too close to his face. He turned to look at you and moved away a bit because of the little space between you

"I don't think it's depressing, it's an event that left you with a before and after in your life, and it's good that you have taken it and reflected on it for good" He look into your eyes "that speaks to how mature you are" You both looked at each other and you smiled at him looking away because of how tense you felt.

"Well, I want this experience to be unique and special, what do you think if we enjoy the sound of nature"

"I think it's a good idea, let's put depression aside"

Both of you followed the path in silence, but it was a silence full of harmony and peace, from time to time Joel would put his shank on your shoulder and caress him with it, you couldn't help but smile, you couldn't help but touch his hands and caress them. He liked it because he caressed your hands, and even brushed his hands on your thighs, but always respecting you.

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

The day had gone from sunny to cloudy from one moment to the next, it was raining hard when you arrived at your house, you told Joel to park 3 houses before yours. Inside the car you could only hear the rain hitting the hood of the truck and above you, you could hear the breeze that was outside.

The trees and plants swaying from side to side through the air, the windows fogged up from the cold that ran through the streets, the water running down the concrete of the street, the lights of some houses kept off while others were on, in the distance you could see the window of your room. You thought that if you lived alone you would have already put him through, you wouldn't let him leave and even less so with this rain, you would snuggle with him on the couch while they watched Game of Thrones.

You turned to look at him and he was already looking at you, you caught his gaze running over your bare legs, his gaze went up until he reached your face, he half smiled at you as he turned his gaze forward and his hands massaged the steering wheel with his palms.

“I didn't expect it to rain” his voice echoed in your ears.

You watched his hands move along the steering wheel, wishing that you were the one his hands were touching.

"It rained suddenly" you said almost in a whisper but he could hear

You took off your seat belt while you settled into your seat, you settled so that your body was in his direction. He looked at you and imitated your action, taking off his seat belt and turning to look at you.

"I liked going out with you" you smile at him

"I'm glad you liked it" he gave you a sweet look "I think… we should try again another time"

"Yes, we should," you smiled as you lowered your gaze to the hand resting on his thigh.

"Do you like it? the date" you turned your gaze to his face

"I loved it, I liked to have known you a little more" he put his hand to your nests and caressed them "I hope I have not disappointed you"

"No," you said frowning, "why do you think that?"

"Well… I'm too old, I'm not extroverted and i don't do crazy things," he said, laughing a little at the end and looking at you, "plus maybe you think I'm a degenerate for dating you."

"No no haha, I don't think anything like that" you stroked his hand you this time "you're older yes but you're very attractive, and it doesn't matter that you're not outgoing I'm not either and, I like you to be different from anyone I've ever met… and I definitely don't think you're a degenerate"

He just nodded smiling this time

Heck, he did have a cute smile.

They fell silent causing the sound to return to your ears. You went through his features for the thousandth time all day, he was so beautiful, all of him was just beautiful, you couldn't think how come he was alone and single.

You wanted to know what it tasted like, you wanted to feel his lips against yours, if they fit yours.

You stopped thinking for once in your life and decided to do something good for the first time, without regrets this time, without doubting that it will be the best thing you could do today.

Everything happened so fast.

You approached and could only see when he turned to see you, your lips were shaped with his in a slow kiss, his lips were cold to contact, they felt good next to yours, it felt like a synchronized dance. His mustache was itchy, it was a new sensation that you never thought you would enjoy as you were doing, your hands went to his face above his jaw, you rested your fingers on his beard a little gray and trimmed.

You wanted him to touch you, you needed to feel his hands on you once again. You grabbed the hand that was caressing your arm and directed it to your thigh, he had contact with your thigh and caressed your skin with his fingers, your skin bristled at the contact which made him smile in the middle of the kiss.

As the kiss deepened you felt his hand go up your thigh more and more, running through it with small and slow caresses. Your tongue found its way into his mouth caressing his, while small moans came out of your throat and he responded by intensifying the kiss and his grip on your thigh and his hand that remained below your jaw.

Everything was going well, you felt good about yourself in that moment, you were wrapped in the moment that when you felt his hand on the edge of your dress, you jumped up tensing a little under his contact, you didn't say anything to him you just continued kissing him.

He settled closer to you and you felt his hand right on your hip inside the dress, you were so deep into the kiss that you didn't care, but you only felt his hand near the edge of your panties and his fingers on one side of your lower thigh, you settled in your place and that was enough for him to remove his hand.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he tried to catch his breath.

"It's… yes, I'm fine" your voice came out between cut by the grief you felt

You kissed him again so he wouldn't realize you were nervous, you didn't want him to leave, you wanted him to last longer. Your nerves invade you again when you feel his hand on your thigh again, you like the contact of his hand against your skin, how big it is around your thigh, but not enough to grab all the flesh around it, but you have a hard time staying focused on your desire when nervousness and anxiety surround you.

When he raised his hand again, not hearing your reprisals, you lowered the hand you had on his face and placed it on top of his sliding it gently down your leg so that it was on your knee.

You broke the kiss again

"I'm sorry," you said sadly, lowering your gaze and covering your face with your hands as you tried to control your breathing.

As you hid your face in your hands, Joel still didn't move away from you, you could feel his hand stroking your knee sweetly and delicately.

"You don't have to say sorry honey," he said as he placed one of his hands on your head caressing your hair.

You were silent for a moment, while he thought that he had come far, possibly he had made you feel uncomfortable and you didn't want to say it, he felt guilty for seeing you like this and that you asked him for forgiveness.

You, on the other hand, did not feel better, you felt ashamed of what you had just done, you felt stupid for having had that daring behavior and then burst into tears.

"How childish I am sorry" you said between sobs

"Hey Shh you are not childish" his right hand touched one of your hands that still hid your face

"I am, I don't expect you to bear me" This time you took your hands off your face and looked at him, his eyes open as they saw every part of your face, his lips slightly open, and with the same distance as before.

"Breathe okey, it's all right honey" he moved away a little so he could press the button on the windows next to him. As he pressed the one on your side, the window lowered a little letting in the fresh night air.

"Are you okay?" he ask this time taking distance

"s.. yes, I'm seriously sorry, I know you expected something more from me," you said with your eyes down.

"What do you mean? Not of course not, why do you think that?" he wrinkled his eyebrows

"Because I've been very different when we talked, the photos…." You were going to continue listing the many things you did, that you said and he interrupted you.

"Honey I want you to know that I don't expect anything from you, Okey? I want to know you, the person you are, the rest doesn't matter." You took a deep breath to look up

"I wanted to make a good impression on you," you said, looking into his eyes.

"You did it, you are more than I expected"

Joel looked at you silently as you ran your forearm over your nose and wiped your eyes.

"Listen… I don't expect anything in return, I want you to feel comfortable being with me, I want you to be the one to allow me to get closer" he sigh heavily before speaking "The last thing I want is for you to feel pressured, forget about the photos, okay? I want you to trust me."

"I'm a bit dramatic sometimes" you said wanting to laugh but failed in the attempt

"You're not," he said in a whisper causing his voice to sound hoarse

"Your feelings are strong, you can't hide them and that's okay."

You looked at him and he gave you a smile, his eyes were still looking at you with adoration, he had the same look as when you entered his truck. You assumed that everything would be fine, he would not walk away.

He wouldn't judge you for your feelings. He would worship you for who you really are, He would be there for you when no one else is. You've become his new favorite person, he can't fight the feeling that you're something else… You're more than he thought you would be.

He's fucked up just like you, and that's okay.

Hi honey! ❤️

Amazing chapter, as usual! I can’t wait to see their relationship from now on!

So… I don’t know if you plan on doing extra scenes for this story, but if you do (or it could be an HC), I’d love to see Bucky’s POV on this and how he broke the news to Steve and Sam, I think it’d be fun 😁❤️

ILY ❤️

Gab hi my loveeeee! ❤️

Aw thank you so much! That's a wonderful ideaaaa because I feel like it was such a chaotic and confusing moment, let's have a HC with it! ❤️ ILYSM! ❤️

So I feel like Bucky was so excited to break the news to Steve and Sam, so he called for an emergency meeting without actually telling them what it was about😁 So when they both walked in, they were like,

"What is it? Is it HYDRA?"

"Has there been another attack?"

"No no, it's actually good news. Great news!"

"What, we caught someone?"

"I'm getting married."

"Come again?"

"To Charm."

"...Right. Does- does she know?"

"What do you mean, does she know? Of course she does!"

"She actually formed the sentence 'Yes I will marry you'?"

"Why the tone of disbelief man?"

"Why do you think? Because- Sam, what are you doing?"

"Calling an ambulance."

"Why?!"

"Because you're obviously delusional Bucky!"

"No I'm telling you, she actually said yes to my proposal!"

13 CARDS TRAILER JUST DROPED !!!

So I'm going to give you a walk through my mental process during that minute and four seconds. (Sorry I forgot about the cut)

- Ok, just chaos (SO much chaos) and Fedor losing himself

- Is that Gabriel in the ceiling lamp? Omg he's doing like Varu in the comic

- I see Pik has a little problem there... Oh never mind he created his own mini protection fort that's adorable (it's in the shape of a spade and everything)

- My boy Zontik is not going to make it, look at him (hi Félix)

- DANTE??? WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND? (also he's eating healthy! I guess? I don't trust anything that's in that kitchen.)

- Romeo give us some context pls what's wrong (everything)

- Zontik oh god

- Hm, Fedor (so sorry bro)

- Hi Gabs!! He fell from the ceiling I love him so much, look at him •_•

- Hi Kuro (seriously what is happening)

- He's gonna lose it

- Félix mind: death and revenge and pain and ouch my arm damn it and death and chaos and

- Aw Kuro your glasses

- So you DO fight (guys you are being immature what happened god stop oh)

- Did... did they take my kid to a beauty salon or something? (he looks so clean and soft)

- This whole sequence is just amazing.

- Dante really doesn't give tow shits

- Kuromaku taking a breath and controlling himself so as not to kill someone (probably Varu not gonna lie)

- Pik's personal space is sacred, what were you thinking bro? (also going to kill someone but won't controll himself)

- Felix... are you... I hope you're okay, but you should have seen it coming

- And again, Zontik is going to have a heart attack or something if we keep this up

Damn there is a limit of images, I'll reblog and continue later

#13 карт #13 cards #the lands of kings #13cardsgabriel #13cardsdante #13cardskuromaku #13cardsfelix #13cardsvaru #13cardszontik #13cardsromeo #13cardspik #fedorx9 #trailer #every 13th of every month #13 cartas #la tierra de reyes #13cardsfedor #analysis #i guess

could u write something abt tz teaching you how to golf but you're distracted the whole time because of how good he looks when he's golfing 😫

under the cut!

warnings: not proofread.

"hello beautiful girlfriend of mine." trevor said with a shyly smile.

"what do you want?" you asked him, already knowing he was going to ask you something. you knew because he always said the same thing before asking you.

"do you maybe want to go golfing with me?" he said a cute smile as he took both of your hands in his. this was probably the 100th time trevor had asked you this question just this year, making you sigh a bit.

"c'mon, babe. just us two, so if you really really suck, no one will know." trevor said like he was some sort of genius or something. you sigh again before answering him.

"fine! but i’m never going after this.” you cave him, making a big smile grow on his face.

“thank you, thank you, thank you!” he said with excitement as he picked you and spun you around, making you laugh a bit.

“babe, you have you focus!” trevor whined as he looked back at you, only to realize you hadn’t listened to a single thing he has just said.

“i am!” you argued back, throwing your hands up in the air.

“no you’re not, you didn’t listen to a thing i said.” he said with a sad voice, and felt bad a little. but this was his fault, you never had any interest in golf, and he knew this.

“why should i listen to what you say when i can just look at your pretty face instead?” you said softly as you walked up to him and pressed a kiss to his lips.

“i’m sorry, baby. i’ll listen this time, pinky swear.” you whispered when you pulled away, making him nob a bit before he reexplained what he had just said. only he got interrupted when you poked his bicep.

“you’re getting bigger, babe. hot.” you said with a smile on your face as you looked up at him. he sighed a bit before walking away from you and back to the cart, placing his club back where it belonged.

“let’s just go home. this was a bad idea.” he said, not meeting your eyes, but you could hear how sad he sounded. you quickly gabbed his wrist before he could seat down in the cart, making him let out another sigh.

“i’m sorry, trev. we don’t have to go home--”

“there’s no point in staying here, y/n. you clearly don’t have any interest in what i am saying, so let’s just go home.”

“how ‘bout this. you do the whole hitting the ball to the green, and i’ll put. i’m amazing at putting.” you said with a smile on your face, making him smile a bit.

“love, i don’t wanna be mean, but you’re not that amazing a putting.” he teased, making your jaw drop.

“excuse you? i completely destroyed you when we went mini golfing, mister.” you defended yourself, making him laugh a bit.

“i was going easy on you, babe.” he admitted, making you let out a gasp.

“rude!” you exclaimed as trevor walked away from you to go get his club, laughing as you followed behind him.

Hey, Hailey! Been a while since I last sent an ask on here, but I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your work on "Behind the Curtain" and your recent Behind the Scenes video for it. It's been refreshing to see Toon Henry resurface after so long as I wholeheartedly enjoyed the AU whenever it first came out, and it was one of the few I encountered that helped inspire me to make my own AU around the time that BatIM Chapter 2 came out! I hope you're doing well for yourself, and I look forward to seeing more from you and your friends in the future! 😁👍

Thank you so much, dude, I'm so glad you enjoyed the release of "Behind the Curtain!!" We all put a lot of work into it, and seeing the response to it has been pretty incredible.

I really enjoyed coming back to the Toon Henry concept as well - it was a lot of fun back in ye olde Tumblr fandom days, and getting to work with @kaleidraws's incredible writing and direction on it has been amazing - especially since now, thanks to her, it has an actual ending (though you guys haven't seen that yet)!!

In case anyone's missed the vid, I'll go ahead and plug it here as well!

youtube

We've got more exciting projects in the works, too, and if you want to stay updated on all of what's in store, please be sure to check out and subscribe to Kalei's substack at KaleiWorks.substack.com! That's where you'll hear about things first, before anywhere else!

I'm doing just fantastic over here, and hope you are too!

Today's Zero Time Dilemma notes

-Aw I miss the little jingle when you begin an escape sequence. Damn.

-This is the first time I've been genuinely stuck at a puzzle and thought "You know what, I'll go somewhere else in team and deal with this shit later." It's cool to be honest

-There's something so unique about how this game handles choice, which largely comes down to the binary nature of "hesitate or don't." like, choices in something like The Walking Dead will give you a timer, and make the choice for you if you don't choose in time, but typically you at least have to choose between two options. In Zero Time Dilemma, the choice will be like "Okay, you have ten seconds before this person gets incinerated, and the only way to stop that is to pull the trigger on this gun aimed at this person's head." It's like the Trolley Problem actually, it calls attention to inaction as a choice in itself, one that people can play through an entire Telltale game not experiencing.

-Goddamn, the choice of "Who Killed Junpei" being a free text entry is kind of amazing, I love it. It allows you to consider other possibilities besides yourself and Akane, and it actually explores those possibilities. Like "DO NOT KNOW IDENTITY" if you type ZERO or "HOW WOULD A DOG DO IT?" if you type GAB. I love that, and I suspect once I have more information I can go back and enter something different.

-There's something really special to this story's framing. The way I'd phrase it is "Lost in time." One of the big gimmicks is that you only wake up for 90 minutes each time, and have amnesia from what happened before because of The Drugs. So neither the characters nor the player have any idea of what happened before then, or even what timeline you're on. The timelines are represented as a flowchart, but you experience it out of order, so you have NO IDEA what led to what, and instead have to rest with these moments as they are. It's genuinely really cool, and it's really hard to do this in any medium, let alone games, but it's something I've wanted to see and DO for a long time.

-God, you can really tell the animation team on this has never had to make anything that wasn't a visual novel before. The animations are all so STIFF. And like, yeah the animations for Virtue's Last Reward were pretty good, but crucially, there weren't that many of them per character, and they could all be crafted for a single camera angle. While a more cinematic camera is GREAT for many things, it's clear that the ZTD team haven't really learned to USE it for this game, which is a shame.

-The wire-cutting sections are the worst puzzles in the entire Zero Escape series. The instructions are unclear, they're a series of binary choices, and your punishment for getting one wrong is having to do a ten-second real-time minigame, and whether you win or lose that you still just rewind back to the point before you cut the wire. It's every pitfall of puzzle adventure game design in microcosm.

~FROM CAKES FOR REAPER~

BREATHING;LIES

PART 6

*one month later*

Mercy- Are you ready, Gabe? *slowly opening the door*

Gabe- Hm...is suppose to be the whole Reaper's outfit? Is that really necessary?

Mercy- *walk in and chuckles* Yes! The skin is our biggest organ, it will take a feel days to be complete again. Does it hurt?

Gabe- Yeah, a little. But I'm fine. *pick up the mask and smirk* Is amazing that I don't need that shit again.

Mercy- Why don't you make a surprise for her and put the mask on?

Gabe- *look at the mask again* Hm...not a bad idea.

Mercy- Do it! *giggles putting the mask on him* She's waiting for you!

Gabe- *laughs* Yes! I'm going...I'm feeling so nervous.

Mercy- *sighs and smile* Is good to have you back, commander.

Gabe- Yes...thanks to you, doctor.

Mercy- Nein, thanks to Y/N...but me too. *tap his chest* Now, go find her!

*He take a deep breath walking out the room and going to the corridor. He immediately find someone on the hallway*

Gabe- ... aw shit...*sighs feeling nervous*

Jack- *surprised* Gabe...*smirk and walk to him* Are you back?

Gabe- *looked away* Hm...yeah...*take of his mask and look at him* I'm back, boss.

Jack- *smile* Don't call me like that...you never called before.

Gabe- Well, you're the boss...aren't you?

*Jack giggled and pull Gabe for a huge hug, for a second Gabriel felt a little confused and afraid of the pain, normally...nothing could touch him, used to hurt, everything, but now... for a long time, a hug was painlessly*

*Gabe hugged back his old best friend, a tight hug*

Jack- I missed you, Gabriel...never do some shit like that again.

Gabe- *chuckles* It was only my rebellion time... I'm so sorry, for everything.

Jack- *step away holding his arms* Why you still look young? *laughs*

Gabe- I never aged, actually...well, I'm missing the blonde hair...

Jack- Shut up! *laughs pushing him* Oh my... This is weird. We were trying to kill each other months ago.

Gabe- Yeah...*look at his mask and sighs* I'm sorry, Jack, about everything. About my rebellion, for destroy Overwatch...everything.

Jack- Hey, pal... it's ok now. Past stay in the past, right? Let's focus on the future of Gabriel Reyes as the strike commander of Overwatch again.

Gabe- *smirk* You're really gonna to trust me for that one more time?

Jack- Gabe, you're my best friend...you're back from the death. Of course I'll give a second chance to you.

- Gabe?

Gabe- *look at the end of the corridor and smile* Hi, Ana...

Ana- Oh my Egyptians...! *take her hand to her mouth starting to cry while approaching him* Is so good to see you again! Oh, Gabriel! *hug him tightly* Hansdome as always!

Gabe- Argh...! You still strong! *laughs and hug back* And you still charming as always, Amari.

Jack- *laughs* The trio is back!

Ana- And the smile on your grumpy face too, Jack *laughs whipping her tears* Oh dear, Gabe... Reinhardt will be happy too.

Gabe- By the way...*smirk* You too are having something those days?

Ana- Oh, Gabriel! Stop it! *the trio laugh*

- DID I HEARD MY NAME?! *On the backgrounds*

Gabe- What the fu...?! *saw him appearing on the hallway a little lost* Rein?!

Rein- What?! That voi-?! *look at him and open a big smile ready to yell*

Ana- Reinhardt! Shhhhh! *Laughing* Don't!

Rein- *approaching trying not to freak out* Why "shh", Ana...?! Is Gabriel! IS GAB-! *Ana cover his mouth*

Ana- Don't let Y/n hear you, dummy!

Rein- Mmmm! *hold her hand and whispers* Can I hug him?

Ana- ... Yes!

Gabe- Aw shit...! *Rein pick him up smashing him in a bear hug* AaARrG...! Is good to see...you too...! Rein! Aw! My back!

Rein- I missed my grumpy fella! *kiss his cheek* My little angry boy!

Gabe- Come on! Not the kiss! *blush*

Jack- *laughing* Right! We need to make a surprise to y/n... you're important for her too.

Gabe- Where is she? *Rein stills holding him*

Ana- With the girls in the games room, I believe. She's kind depressed, not having a good fun.

Rein- Yeah, you should go there quickly, my friend! *put him down* And I'm sorry about the way I act when you came, I was an little bit nervous about y/n! She's our little girl, right, Jack?

Jack- *sighs* Yeah...Golden heart girl. Now go find her, idiot! *pull him to the hallway* I'll burn the mask after that.

Gabe- *chuckle* You can do whatever you want with it...*put the mask on* Wish me lucky.

Ana- You don't need that *smile* She loves you already.

Gabe- Right...she does *sighs and blush inside* Yeah, I'm going!

*At the game room*

Tracer- Noo! Satya! This is not the one you play Monopoly!

Satya- What? I only bought a mansion.

Tracer- You can't do that now!

Satya- *annoyed face*

Tracer- *sighs* Fine! Take the random mansion...

Satya- Perfect *smile*

Hana- *playing PS5* Y/n? Are you sure you don't want to do nothing?

You- Hm? *scrolling the phone on the sofa and look at her* No...I'm fine, my head is not feeling well.

Brigitte- *playing with Hana* Overthinking?

You- Yeah... If...if does not work? Angela dosen't let me see him. If something went wrong?

Kiriko- Look, I barely know this guy...but! Angela is amazing! *sit beside you and take your hand* Nothing can go wrong in her hands.

Genji- Yeah! Like me! *playing monopoly too*

Tracer- Hiw would you feel seeing him again, Genji?

Genji- More than happy! He was my boss! I admired him so much! I'd like to see his grumpy have again!

You- *smirk* Me too...

*someone knock the door and open right after*

Lucio- Y/n? Ana is calling you, she's at the balcony.

You- Is everything ok? Is about Reaper? *you get up*

Lucio- I don't know *laugh nervously* She asked me to call you, that's all. I hope everything is ok too.

You- Ok, Lu...thanks, I'll be there in a minute.

Lucio- Ok, see ya! *close the door*

Hana- *pause the game* Are you ok?

You- A little anxious...*take a deep breath* When is Ana, something serious happened *you speak with anguish* I'm going.

Brigitte- Keep breathing, girl, everything is fine.

You- Thanks, sis. *smile and goes outside*

Genji- ... She really likes him.

Tracer- Yeah, is so cute, but so worry. She falled in love with an enemy.

Hana- Not a enemy anymore.

Tracer- We never know if he still working with Talon! He could act anytime against us.

Brigitte- Honestly? Look what he did for her. Impossible to think that he would be against her. He became so soft!

Hana- Truee~ And y/n is veeeery pretty! Of course he falled in love with her! This is so cute!~ AIGO!~

Tracer- I don't know, I'm still a little scared of him.

Genji- Well, he was scary as fuck.

Satya- Well, and I don't know much about Gabriel Reyes. Let's play, please, I need more mansions.

*At the balcony, Ana was waiting for you while drinking a tea*

You- Ana? Wanted to see me?

Ana- Yes, darling...*smile turning to look at you* But someone wants to see you more than I do. *Gabe, as Reaper appears behind you and you turn*

You- RIP! *Immediately hug him and step back again* Oh no! Wait! Still hurts?! Are you ok?!

Gabe- *smirk and pull you to a tigh hug covering your body with his arms*

Ana- He is more than ok, Y/n. I'll let you both alone to enjoy each other. *she walked away*

Gabe- *let you go and hold your face* You look tired...

You- *eyes watering* Gabe...your voice...

Gabe- Yes...*chuckles* I'm back.

You- *hesitat to take his mask* I...can..I? *he nodded*

*Slowly you grab his mask taking it off, your eyes wide open and your face blush hard*

You- Oh my...! *take a hand to your mouth laughing and crying of happiness* It worked! Oh my goodness, it worked!

Gabe- *laughs* Yes, thanks to you...I'm alive again... *he gently grab your hand putting against his chest* Now, there's a healthy heart beating inside of me. I'm breathing.

You- I'm so happy for you, Gabe...! *crying out* I'm so relieved...! *hug him crying on his chest* I was so scared!

Gabe- *surprised and worried* Hey...I'm here. I'm back. *hug you back* I'm happy for us.

You- *step away looking at him, he hold your face with a smile, you laugh* Your smile...! You never smiled for me before...

Gabe- Get used to it *chuckles* Cause with you, I'll be smiling until the day I die.

You- *you looked at him surprised* Gabe...

Gabe- You accept me when I was Reaper...when I was your enemy. You did that because of Jack, I've heard about it. You could have died...

You- I know...I wanted to try...I needed to try.

Gabe- You dummy...*smiles given a kiss in your forehead, making you shivers feeling his soft lips for the first time* You saved me.

*He pull gently your face against his given a long peck on the lips, followed by other and other...until you finally return with a kiss full of love, taking your hand to the back of his head and caressing his hair, making him surprise and melt by the feeling he didn't felt for ages. You feel his hands slide down to your waist pulling you more against him, what makes you giggled and hug him by the neck, intensifying the kiss*

Gabe- *break the kiss given many pecks in your face* !!!

You- *laughs and blush* Gabe! Your bear! It giggles!

Gabe- We should to a privacy place...*chuckles now kissing your neck*

You- Oh! Stop it! *laughs pushing his face away while he laugh* Just because you're all handsome now?

Gabe- I wasn't before?

You- Well...yes, just a little more destroyed. *both laugh* After everything you pass through...I think you deserve something.

Gabe- *giggles kissing your face again*

*Suddenly, the emergency siren went crazy on the base, that became all red by the emergency light*

Gabe- What...?! *look back*

Jack- *on the background* What is happening?!

Lucio- Sir! Is Talon!

Gabe- Fuck! *look at you again* Please! Hide yourself somewhere!

You- What?! No! They'll be after you!

Gabe- Trust me! They'll try to kill you first! Go! *try to let you go but you pull him again* Y/N!

You- No! *crying and angry* I'll fight by your side! I'll kill them for us! For the world's sake!

Gabe- Y/n...*sighs*

You- Is not fair...why now?!

Ana- Gabriel! Y/n! Positions!

Gabe- Promise! Don't leave my side!

You- I promise...! And remember that you're not Reaper anymore...!

*both ran to your positions and Gabe, without his shotguns for now, have one of Soldier 76 guns. Talon's soldiers invade the Overwatch base and you pick up some other guns positioning with Gabriel, Ana and Jack Morrison starting to shoot*

Jack- Is too many of them!

Gabe- We can do this, Jack! Like the old times! *laughs* Let's revenge...!

*At the door, where they were coming in, Moira appers while looking around*

Moira- Hm...looks the same. What a shame.

Ana- Moira...!

Gabriel- Aw! Why her?! Dammit!

Moira- *spot Gabriel and you* Oooh...that was an easy find *smirk*

Jack- Moira!

Moira- Long time no see, Morrison *laughs* Did I have a great entrance? I hope so. Now...*points to you* I need this little...bitch.

You- *feels your body shivers and point the gun to her* Try me...Monster!

Gabe- *get in front of you* Not until I live!

Moira- *look at him a little surprised* Oooh, now I see...*smirk* Angela did a great work. It reminds me the time when you use to be a traitor to Overwatch.

Gabe- Yeah? Well, unfortunately, for you, I'm not anymore! Surrender!

Moira- *laughs* Why? Because you said so? Do you really think I came alone? She's ready to shoot when I demand.

Ana- *eyes wide open* Amelie...! *Run to the balcony*

Jack- ANA!

Moira- Wants to lose your other eye? Go ahead... Lacroix will be glad. So...you. *look at you* You destroyed my best experiment.

Gabe- *growls* You talk to me! Not her! You fucking monster!

You- Jack...go help Ana, please.

Jack- I won't leave you both alone!

You- And you will leave her with Lacroix?!

Jack- I...! *growls and run going to find Ana*

Moira- *sighs* Right...*prepare her Biotic Grasp* You don't have the same abilities, Reyes. Careful.

Gabe- I don't need careful...

You- Yes, you do, idiot.

*At the balcony*

Ana- *trying to spot Lacroix*

Jack- Ana! You're to vulnerable! Get out of there!

Ana- She will try to kill Y/n...! I need to find her first!

Jack- You're not being a professional! *Grab her shoulder*

Ana- She's like a daughter to you! *turn to him annoyed* Be the father she never had and protect her!

Jack- Lacroix will try to kill you this time, Amari! One more shot is all she need! You can't beat her!

Ana- You think! *run away going inside the base again*

Jack- An-! Dammit!

*Back to Gabe*

Moira- You think that bullets will kill me?

Gabe- I know your tricks.

Moira- One sign to Lacroix shoot whoever I want....*look at you*

Gabe- *look at the window and you* Get out of the window, Y/n!

Moira- Ooh no no, you don't know where she's! *laughs* She's not that obvious. *Moira rise her hand point to Gabriel that immediately had a shot on the shoulder*

Gabe- ARGH...! *Fall forward*

You- Gabriel! *growls starting to shoot against Moira that disappears* MOIRA! SHOW YOUR FACE!

Gabe- Y/n! STOP IT! *Try to get up* Dammit...! She poisoned the bullets?! Argh!

Moira- I guess his body wasn't that ready to be injured *laughs appearing behind you, you frozed* Don't...move.

Gabe- What...?! I can't move! *His body started to squirm* Aah...!

You- *In a fast movement, you turn around trying to hit her with the gun, but you got shoot on the leg* Ah...! *you try not to fall and hold the gun to not drop* Fuck...!

Moira- So professional...*laugh* Such a good trained spy. *hold you face* If you were in Talon, honey...you wouldn't be that useless.

You- *range teeth* I swear...! I'll cut your head off, witch!

Moira- *chuckles* Lovely, try me! *squish your face with her nails* Cause you gonna be a perfect rabbit for my experiments!

Gabe- Y/n...! Get out of here!

You- *you grab her wrist* Try me...! *you move your other arms hitting her with the gun on the side of her head and shot her biotic liquid backpack, making it leak*

Moira- Ah...! No! *growls* So you really wanna try...! I won't dirty my hands! Lacroix! (*earphone*Lacroix: I got her...!!)

Gabe- No! *getting up* Get down!

You- *ready to shoot Moira* You fucking bitch... this is for everything you have done to Gabriel!

Moira- DO IT! *nothing* LACROIX?! Do it...! *in panic*

Gabe- *laughs standing up* I think Ana finally won a fight against her. Without your backpack, you're nothing!

Moira- No! *try to realise an orb but failed* No! NO! *disappears*

You- Dammit! *try to walk but falls* Argh! My le..! Ah!

Gabe- Y/n...! Stay down!

You- They need help! And she escaped!

Gabe- Leave her! *pick you up and screams in pain because of the shoulder* We need to go...!

You- What...?! No! I won't run away!

Gabe- They're Overwatch! *Both hear Winston Primal Rage* See? We have a fucking angry gorilla! We need to hide!

You- You would never hide!

Gabe- Yes! Reaper wouldn't! But Reyes yes! I'm injured, you're injured! And I won't let you fucking die! They won't us! *starts to run through the base*

Angela- *appears holding her pistols* Gabriel! Y/n! Mein gott! What happened?! *approaching*

Gabe- How Is everyone?!

Angela- Fighting, we're holding well! *look at your leg* Oh no! I couldn't pick up my Caduceu! It was too fast!

Gabe- They did a stupid attack! Moira attacked us and Lacroix!

Angela- Ana fight her...we captured Amelie.

You- *giggles* Oh Ana...

Angela- This is end soon...! *hear some soldiers approaching* Still have more?!

Angela- No...only if he feels a strong anger.

You- ANGELA! I trusted you to clean him up! He wanted to be cleaned! *started to cry in angry still in the ground* He already suffered too much! Why can you help him without thinking in yourself?!

Angela- This was for Overwatch!

You- NO! Yourself! *standing up with difficult* You lied...! That's what makes me angry! You gave him a false hope...! Next time...you clean him up! 200%...!

Past Lives [0.3]

Masterlist

Warnings: none... as of yet

The rest of the show went by in a blur; Jade had blinked and suddenly she was playing out her last encore. She was sweaty and hot, her makeup was surely beginning to smudge, the pleather skirt was chaffing against her skin and Jade was looking forward to the cold beer she would have after this. But the joy couldn't have been more evident in her face as the crowd sang along with her to 'Fuck to Forget' at the top of their lungs, the strobes were flashing like crazy and the pit was moving as though it was one being, undulating and bouncing with her and her band.

Up in the mezzanine, the atmosphere was becoming humid as well. Austin had discarded his jacket a while ago, the energy from the crowd was infectious and his high was just beginning to come down. He hadn't experience anything so electrifying in a long time, his visor was renewed as though he'd taken a hit. It was as though lightening was coursing through the air and was looking for the perfect place to strike.

The heavy bass continued to reverberate through the venue, the audience was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think let alone speak aloud. All of the girls on stage came up to take their final bow, and the white sheet came down over them, effectively bringing the show to a close.

Florence was bouncing on the spot. She barely gave Austin time to grab his coat before she had him by the sleeve and tugged him along.

"Come on! Come on! Hurry up!"

"Wait -- where are we going?"

Jade didn't take two steps into the green room before her body gave out and she collapsed onto the couch. The cold leather was a welcome relief against her burning skin. Her ears were ringing, tears stung her eyes, her knees ached and were surely going to be covered in bruises in the morning.

But Jade had never been happier.

"THAT WAS AMAZING!" Meg came running through the room, she practically bounced off of the walls like a kid on a sugar high. The other girls came filing in, just as sweaty and depleted as their singer. And just like Jade, they all had big, proud smiles on their faces.

"God, we fucking did it," Jade sat up against the couch, "Are you guys okay?"

"Okay? We were perfect!" Maria cried. She proceeded to open a water bottle and spray herself down, then she moved on to Meg.

Samantha fell down beside Jade, slapping at her arm, "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, some concern still laced in her gaze.

Jade nodded, "I'm amazing," her head fell to Samantha's shoulder, "I fucking love you guys,"

Maria chuckled, "We love you too, Jade," she started soaking down Jade and Samantha with water, a welcome relief to them both.

The girls took a moment to collect themselves before they let their friends into the green room. The energy from the stage had moved into the smaller space, with crews, producers, everybody who had helped put this show together was celebrating their success; and the beginning of the return of live entertainment. Jade did her best to enjoy herself, though she had this small, niggling fear in her gut. By daybreak tomorrow her confessional speech would likely made some headlines in celebrity fodder...

Austin stayed in close step with Florence, following her down an obscure hallway that lead to the boisterous green room. People had crowded in, the smell of sweat and champagne tickled at his nose and a calamity of conversations filled his still ringing ears. His eyes scanned the unfamiliar boat of faces until he landed on her, damp, wavering, but nonetheless she appeared alert as she gabbed on with one of her producers.

Florence broke through the sea of people and approached her friend, making no haste as she crouched down before Jade.

"Darling, I bow to you. That was phenomenal!" she awed.

Jade laughed, "Bitch! You're crouching!"

"Same difference, I'm making myself small!" Florence replied. Jade pulled her up into a tight hug.

Austin stood off to the side, trying not to let himself be noticed by the wave of strangers. He jumped when he felt a hard slap on the back.

"Hey, I know you from somewhere," Jade's drummer -- Meg, he recalled -- came up from behind, "Where do I know you?"

Austin shrugged, his mouth opened and he stammered out a response, "U-Um, I don't know. I'm an actor?" he replied.

Meg shook her galaxy hair, her face twisting in dismay, "Nah, nah, that wasn't it. You were the poster boy for Popeye's Nashville Chicken Sandwich, right?"

Austin wasn't sure how to respond to that, he scratched at the back of his neck, "I wasn't --"

However, the guitarist -- Marie -- stomped over, "Meg, would you leave the poor guy alone?" she slapped her arm.

Meg began to pout, "Well, where's the fun in that?"

Marie shook her head, "She's just messing with you, Austin. Jade told us you were coming," she extended an elbow, "I'm Marie,"

Austin began to relax, he smiled and bumped elbows with her, "It's very nice to meet you; the both of you," he smiled at Meg.

Meg's eyes popped out wide, "Damn," she gasped, "Anybody ever tell you your voice is like bourbon?"

His cheeks tinted, smiling bashfully as he replied, "I'm afraid not,"

Marie simpered, "Might wanna' get used to it, Mr. Presley," she started to pull Meg away, "You wanna come get a drink?"

He smiled politely but declined, "Maybe in a little bit,"

"Suit yourself," Meg shrugged.

Austin hardly turned before he'd come face-to-face with Jade. Her hair was tucked behind her ears, her black makeup was smudging beneath her eyes, though she radiated this infectious, bubbling energy, rife with self accomplishment.

She smiled sheepishly at him, "Sorry about Meg, she likes to joke around," she said.

"It's no problem. You guys were amazing out there!" he replied, "I should've brought you some flowers or something, I completely lost track of time --"

"It's okay," she chuckled, "I'm just happy you could make it. Was Florence nice to you?"

Austin turned his gaze, zeroing in on Florence and Samantha chatting by the catering spread, "She's definitely a character. But she's great," he looked her up and down, " -- So, are you gonna stick to me if I hug you, or...?"

Jade rolled her eyes, voice cracking as she simpered, "Shut up, Austin," she closed the distance between them, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. She burned beneath his hands, though Jade chalked it up to the adrenaline still coursing through her, "Did you have fun?"

Something tugged in Austin's chest when he heard her voice crack, "Bet your ass I did!" red tinted his cheeks as he pulled back, "How did you --"

"JADE!" a high pitched cry caught their attention. Jade looked over as she was suddenly thrown against the wall, wrapped in a tight hug by one of the her studio producers. The bang and commotion caught the attention of others; and Austin was about to stir up his own until Jade waved at him, assuring him she was just fine.

"Jade, that was phenomenal!" he cried.

Jade laughed, rubbing out the soreness in her hip, "Thanks, Steven,"

"Are you okay?" he asked, "I'm sorry, I get so excited,"

"No, no. I know. It's good," she smiled sheepishly, though her eyes stayed fixed on Austin's, "I'm good,"

Restrictions were still tight when it came to London's usually vibrant night life, so those who wanted to continue the party were invited back to Florence and Jade's apartment. A Spotify playlist of yearly hits thumped through the atmosphere, just loud enough for people to dance and let others speak without strain.

Austin didn't know anybody, he mostly stuck with Jade and a few of her bandmates while he sipped idly on a glass of wine. He was transfixed by Samantha as she recalled the girls' very muddy performance at a festival in Louisiana.

"A giant sinkhole just opened under the stage," he repeated in awe, "And nobody knew about it until the rains came,"

"We didn't even register the giant creaking until the stage started to come out from under us and the equipment was just sliding everywhere! It's a friggin' miracle we didn't get hit by anything!" Samantha cried.

"Speak for yourself!" Meg declared, "I'm the one who got all tangled up in the cymbals and wires,"

"Hey! We pulled you out, didn't we?" Marie asked her.

"Cymbals are better than a sinkhole, Meg," Florence said.

Meg grumbled as she sipped her white claw, "Tell that to my ear drums,"

Samantha chuckled, "Anyway -- you guys should've seen this field! It was so beautiful before, and then the next thing we know, the stage is on a Titanic angle almost completely uprooted from the ground!"

"Jesus," Florence huffed, "How'd you guys get out?"

Maria began to giggle, "That's the muddy part. We had to jump for our lives,"

"Oh, God," Florence grimaced, "I can't believe Jade never told me this story!"

Austin scoffed, "Well, it sounds pretty traumatic," he said.

Samantha nodded, "We lost nearly all of our equipment in the hole. From that moment on, we vowed never to play outdoor shows during the rainy season ever again,"

"Safe bet," Florence noted, looking around the vicinity of her apartment, "Where did Jade go?"

Austin glanced around the room as well, and it seemed as though Jade had disappeared.

Marie piped in, "Her brother called, she's talking to him on the balcony,"

"Still? Somebody go check, maybe she fell over the rail?" Samantha said.

"She didn't fall off the railing," Marie argued back, "What time is it in LA?"

Meg glanced at her wrist, smiling to herself as she replied, "Two hairs past a freckle," her friends groaned around her.

Austin chuckled as he stood up, "It's almost four in the afternoon. I can go find her,"

Florence tried to bite back the smirk threatening to spread over her face, "I'm sure you will,"

The girls didn't pay much mind as Austin walked away, though Marie zeroed in on Florence's grin, "What's that smile for, Pugh?"

Florence simply shrugged, "Oh, nothing really,"

Samantha shifted closer, "So, what's the story with him and Jade? She never really talks about her Disney days,"

"From what she has, I don't half blame her," Meg scoffed.

"Look, I don't know what's been happening. All I know is that these two have been talking practically non-stop since they went out last week," Florence explained, "And I haven't seen Jade look so happy in a while,"

Austin slinked through the crowd, making his way out of the more populated living space and came to the sliding glass door. Jade had her back turned to the twinkling downtown as she was on her phone, the warm glow from the inside lights falling gently over her frame. Her gaze snapped up when she heard the sliding door, and she smiled when she saw Austin step out. She held up a finger as she finished her conversation.

"Yeah, yeah I will. Anyway, say hi to everybody. Can't wait to see you guys... alright, bye Mason," she slid the phone into the pocket of her freshly changed jeans, leaning back against the chilled balcony railing, "What? They sent you instead of the K-9 unit?"

"Nah, Samantha was just worried you'd gone over the railing or something," he came to stand beside her.

Jade chuckled, "Leave it to her to over dramatize. What were you guys doing?"

"They were just regaling back the time when you were almost killed by a sinkhole in Louisiana," he didn't even finish his response before Jade groaned.

"Oh God, what a nightmare," she laughed as she shook her head.

"Hey, it's okay. Now I know to avoid music festivals in Louisiana's rainy season," he replied, "You took one for the team,"

"Happy to help," she drawled, her eyes flickering from his eyes to the curls falling over his forehead. She was curious when she noticed a small mark above his eyebrow.

"Hey, is that new?" she pointed to her own eyebrow mirroring his.

Austin felt the spot, smiling sheepishly, "That's one of my many battle scars from the set. I got hit in the head with a guitar,"

Jade narrowed her eyes, "You got hit in the head with a guitar?" she obviously didn't seem to believe him.

"I know, it sounds dumb," he chuckled, "But I was supposed to do this stunt where I threw a guitar in the Burning Love montage, and the neck got caught in the cape of one of the suits. So as I went to throw it, it got tangled and clocked me in the head. I needed a couple stitches,"

"Christ on a bike!" she shook her head, "I thought this was a movie! You have more war stories than a veteran!"

"Yeah, but it's gonna look so cool in the film!" he countered.

Jade simply rolled her eyes, "You boys and your toys,"

Austin turned on the spot, switching his gaze to admire the city below, "So, how's Mason doing? He alright?"

Jade smiled coyly, "They're doing just fine. They're teaching a social studies program at a non-profit,"

Austin popped a brow, "Oh, yeah?"

"Yep,"

"Good on 'em," he nodded, "They're probably, what -- twenty-four?"

"Twenty-five," Jade smiled, "And they're five-eleven, now,"

"Really? Last time I saw them, they were barely four-foot-ten," he mired.

"Yeah. Little sibling's not so little any more," she replied, "How's Ashley?" his older sister.

"She's doing really good! She got married and she's down in South Carolina, now,"

"Woah!" Jade's eyes sparkled with glee, "That's amazing, congrats! I mean -- congratulations to her!"

"Thank you," Austin chuckled, "She's pretty happy last I heard. It'll be good to see her again,"

"Yeah, it'll be good to see my family, too," she looked out over the city again. They were high enough that the traffic below hardly made a sound, the echoes of wailing sirens faded into the night. And street lamps and city lights blasted the sky above; it was a clear evening but you could hardly see any stars. There was just the moon, a sliver crescent but looming over as bright as ever.

Austin glanced at Jade, curiosity beginning to take its peak once again. Her features were delicate, appearing relaxed as she stared down at the hustle and bustle. She was unperturbed by the wind fluttering through her hair, she rested her head in her hands and her elbows sat on the railing. He wondered if she was cold? Maybe he could offer her his jacket? After all, she had already done all this amazing stuff for him, and he hadn't done anything to repay her.

Jade felt his eyes on her, and she kept her breathing in check so her face wouldn't break out into red. She was debating whether to meet his gaze or remain oblivious because she kind of liked it. She would've given anything at seventeen to have him look at her the way he was, now.

"Um, Jade --"

"Austin --" they spoke in sync before laughing quietly at themselves.

"Sorry I --"

"You go first --"

Austin smiled bashfully, "Sorry,"

"No, no," Jade shook her head, "Please, by all means,"

Austin exhaled softly, his gaze averting to the weather-worn railing, "I just wanted to say that... I'm really sorry that I wasn't there. You were talking about how you burned all these bridges with people, but you never burned any with me. I should've been there for you when you left the studio and I should've been there when you got your record deal. I missed out on all of the amazing things you've accomplished, and even if you do forgive me, I'm never going to forgive myself for that,"

Jade scoffed in disbelief, "Austin, I never held anything like that against you. Besides, I'm the one who should be apologizing here,"

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I never called you back," she swallowed the nerve-simmering lump in her throat, "I still remember the day: January 15th, 2012. We were on the phone, you were going out and I was going for my first meeting with the label. I told you I'd call you back... and I never did," she shook her head, "I still ask myself: why didn't I ever call you back?"

He smiled graciously, his elbow slid across the railing and closer to the point of hers, "Because you and I were going down separate paths in our lives. And for the record, I never held that against you, either. I could've called you, too. The point is that, if I had tried to be a better friend, maybe you wouldn't have gotten involved with your ex? Maybe I could've done something to stop it?"

Jade chuckled to herself, "I thought about that, too. And you're right, maybe if we had made an effort to stay in contact I wouldn't have gotten involved with my ex? Or maybe I would've cut you out, too? I had that mentality where nobody could tell me anything and I knew best. But at the end of the day, we were both pretty lousy friends. I'm too old to hold grudges like that,"

"Jade, you're twenty-eight," he smirked.

"And?" she simpered, "The more stress-free I become, the more likely I am to live to ninety-eight. It works for Betty White,"

"Of course," he laughed.

Jade nudged him with her elbow, "And you don't need to be sorry either, Austin. You know that saying? Right person, wrong time?" she asked.

"Sounds familiar," he replied.

"Well, our time is here. That is, until I go home next week. But even when you come back to the states it'll still be our time," she had a silly, almost lopsided grin on her face. She reminded him of an optimistic puppy.

"I'd like that a lot,"

"Well, I'd hope so," she stepped closer and looped her arm through his, "Because you won't be getting rid of me so easily, now,"

Austin laughed, "Is that a threat or a demand?" he asked, a familiar warmth filling in his chest.

Jade pressed up on her toes so the tip of her nose was just level with his lips, her sweet perfume fluttered under his nose, "It's a promise,"

He took her promise to heart, and he made a silent promise to her that he would never let her go again.

In this day and age, everything is filmed, especially a concert. And just as Jade had predicted, gossip sites had picked up videos from the concert and the internet was abuzz, drawn between supporting her decision to come clean, as well as dragging her for her stupidity. Jade didn't pay it any mind, instead she found something more enjoyable to focus on...

Austin and Jade decided to make the best of the time they had left together, usually spent exploring London on foot, finding smaller cafes to frequent and strolling the open markets. Austin never considered himself much of a gourmet, unlike Jade who loved to cook some of the Greek dishes her mother taught her. So he trailed behind as Jade picked out her produce for the meal she'd cook later on.

If there was one thing Austin was exceptionally good at, it was photography. Jade was perplexed, though humbly amused when she looked up from the vegetable display to find him with his phone out. He didn't know why he chose that moment, but she looked pretty and he noted how cute she was when her nose scrunched every time she wasn't satisfied with a tomato.

They sat on a bench in Regent's park, picking over the snacks and goodies they'd picked up for a last-minute picnic. Austin opened a bag of Guinness crisps while Jade went for the spicy peas.

"Everyone in this country has the spice tolerance of a toddler, but these peas are amazing, I swear," she said.

"Oh yeah?" Austin read the list of crushed chilis baked onto the peas, "How spicy are they?"

"Scoville's somewhere in the eighty-k. You like spicy food, right?" she asked.

Austin nodded as he took a couple of the peas, "Yeah. Let's see," he popped them in his mouth. However, not a second later his eyes squinted and his lips puckered.

Jade began to laugh as he started to cough and she patted him on the back, "You good?" her voice trailed into a squeak.

"I'm good," Austin coughed, "I was expecting something more like wasabi peas... or takis... They're sour and spicy. Woah!" he popped open his lemonade and took a long swig.

Jade took some of the peas for herself and popped them in her mouth, she didn't even flinch, "Wimp," she grinned smugly.

Austin exhaled a spicy sigh, "Maybe... but I can reach the shelf these were on," he chuckled back.

She groaned aloud, "That's not me being a wimp! That's God choosing his favourites!" she protested, "How's it feel to be God's favourite?"

He smirked back, "It feels pretty good, not gonna' lie. Sucks for you though," he replied.

Jade rolled her eyes as he sipped his drink, "I hope you choke on that lemonade,"

"Mm. You wanna' try?" he tried bringing the frigid bottle to her neck, much to Jade's dismay and she tried to fight him off.

Austin was waking up in the mornings feeling more and more refreshed. He took a look at his reflection one morning, finding his cheeks had retained their usual colour, his eyes were clear and glossy, and the dye in his hair had gone from jet black to a burnt chestnut. Overall however, he looked good, felt even better. He felt good enough to pick up his razor and shave off his beard.

Florence was excited, yet perplexed, at seeing Jade in such a good mood. She was hardly home, though Florence didn't mind seeing as she was still shooting her next project. The most times she would see her roommate would be right in the morning when one of them had to leave. Regardless, she was happy her friend was getting out, and even if she wasn't the one taking her, Florence had given a small approval for Austin; though nonetheless she was still pretty protective over Jade.

Jade had three more nights before she had to take off, and the time she wasn't spending with Austin, she was utilizing to pack up her things. She hadn't brought much with her when she'd left America, though she was gobsmacked at seeing just how many knick knacks she'd accumulated in the year. There were things she would leave with Florence; some of her cookware, some books, and a couple pairs of shoes she knew the actress had her eye on.

Meanwhile, Austin had already begun training for his next project; a World War II TV epic that was set to begin production in a couple of days. Austin figured by the time Jade got on that plane he would be thick in rehearsals; he wouldn't really have an opportunity to say goodbye to her.

That is, until he had the intuitive and kind of crazy idea to invite her over for dinner. Now, he wasn't the best cook as mentioned, but he certainly wasn't terrible. And after all, worst case scenario they could just order in.

Jade was cleaning out her closet when her phone buzzed with the invite. Her stomach did somersaults while her teeth chewed anxiously on her bottom lip. She took a deep breath before typing her reply, an obvious yes, and she glanced around at the chaotic mess her room has become. She was no where near discerning what was going and what was staying here, so she had to light a fire under her ass.

Austin felt his chest do a little back flip of excitement, though that feeling was quickly followed by a drop in his gut. Now he had to think of something to cook...

Florence nearly choked on her wine when Jade had told her of her evening plans, "He's going to cook for you?"

"Yeah," Jade meanwhile was sat criss-crossed on the floor, taping up the boxes she had finished packing. The moving team would be here around eight tomorrow to take her stuff on a plane, and she would be jumping on another one the day after.

Florence swirled her wine around, "Is he also built like a Y2K corny romance cover model? Because, fuck -- send him my way, honey!" she gaped.

"Don't get too excited," Jade chuckled, "Last time Austin made dinner, he just threw a frozen pizza in the oven. I mean -- no hate! DiGiorno is fucking delicious,"

"My Aldi's will fight your DiGiorno," Florence declared, "So, Austin... does he have any... intentions?"

Jade paused, turning to her friend with a cocked brow, "No... he does not have any intentions," she replied.

"Really? Because you've been attached to the hip almost every day this week," she said, "I'm not tryna' drag you for it, I think it's cute. But you know, you're leaving in a few days and you don't know when you're gonna' see him again,"

"I know," Jade sighed.

"And I've seen how happy you've been since he's come back into your life. I just -- you know, I don't want to see you get hurt," Florence explained, "My fear is that he's just alone in the city right now, he's been through -- basically -- Graceland conversion camp, and from what he's told me he's had a bit of an identity crisis, so he's latched on to you; but you're leaving in less than seventy-two hours. And if he disappears on you again..."

Jade laughed to herself. She threw the tape dispenser down and instead sat on one of her boxes, "You know, if I was twenty-two, I'd tell you to keep your opinions to yourself. But -- I am twenty eight, refined, and humbled, so I will take your concerns into consideration," she replied, "However, I've considered that we're both older now, and we've talked about it, and we learned from our mistakes and we'll try not to repeat them. Because good communication is healthy," she beamed.

Florence scoffed, "You sound like a wellness influencer. But listen, you're right, you're twenty-eight now -- God help me; and if you're sure that you know what you're doing, then I trust your judgement. You've come a long way from the timid little doormat I met five years ago,"

Jade rolled her eyes, "Thanks, Flo," she got up and did a little stretch, "Guess I have to find me an outfit, now..."

"We'll find you something nice," Florence assured, "And listen, when you go over later -- and this is strictly off the record -- if that man for whatever reason gets cute with you... go for it,"

It took Jade a moment to register what she was talking about, but when she did she almost felt horrified, "What the -- what? No! What?"

"I'm telling you to be cautious, but don't be an idiot. He's a tall drink of water! I certainly would if you won't,"

"Flo!"

"It's been too long, Jade! It'll be good for you!"

"It's been a year!"

"Exactly my point!" she went to take another sip of her wine, but Jade snatched the tumbler out of her hand before she could, "Oi!"

"Yeah, this grape juice isn't good for you," she took a sip of the wine herself just to deliver the final blow.
