A Friend Down In Hell - Part Twelve

pairing: Nick Folio x ofc (Ishtar)

warnings/tropes: slow burn, pining, idiot in love, language, drinking, mentions of violence, mentions of torture, mentions of religious mythology, FLUFF.

summary: Folio can't quite tell you how long he's been dead, but it doesn't matter when he has friends like his, and Ishtar. Ishtar, with whom he fell in love the moment he met her. The problem? She doesn't know it. How does he convince a demon, who is practically immortal, to date him when he's dead? How did Ellie do it so easily?

author’s note: Soooo I had to re-write MOST of this because my brain decided to mix up tenses.. so if anything seems fudged up... IT DOESN'T (I'm sorry lol)

Folio stood outside the bar waiting for the others.. It was a familiar feeling, even if it was strangely a different kind of anxiousness tonight. It was less about trying to impress Ishtar tonight to get her to go out with him.. Tonight he just missed seeing her.. Tonight he was going to have to just be a normal patron.. He’d promised he wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t supposed to.. Anything he wouldn’t have done before.. While he waited for the guys, he thought back to yesterday with a smile.

It had been their third date, Ishtar took him roller skating at the roller rink, where he promptly fell on his ass so many times that it wasn’t funny.. It wasn’t! Thankfully, Ishtar was as patient a teacher, as she was a beautiful goddess. Folio had always wanted to go to the roller rink, but considering he’d never actually learned how to roller-skate, he’d always been super nervous about going. So even when the guys had thought it would be cool to go, and he’d agreed, when there was always a reason to change the plans for something else as a group.. He’d just gone with the group, and let the disappointment stand, barely. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Who was he to argue about it?

It had been at the end of their lunch date when Folio had said, that considering he had chosen their second date. Well, it had been their first official date, but they had both agreed to call breakfast their first day so they could skip their first date nerves! She should get to decide what they did for their next date.. Grinning wide.. That is.. If she was willing to go on another date with him. He didn’t want to be presumptuous. The soft sound of her laughter that escaped her, as she elbowed him was the cutest thing ever, of course she’d love to, she’d let him know by tonight what she’d decide, when and where.

Rollerskating.

That was what she’d wanted him to do. She’d sent him a message letting him know what time to meet her at the Rollerskating rink the next night as it was her night off, if that was alright with him, of course?

Immediately, he’d agreed! What else was he going to do, be a complete imbecile?!

If after he’d sent her that text message reply back agreeing, he’d grabbed a pillow off his sofa and shoved it in his face and screaming in a mixture of both excitement and dread.. She never had to know, right?

He was going to make a fool of himself, and he knew it, he just knew it. He’d never been roller-skating in his life, and how was he going to have time to learn between now and tomorrow? He wasn’t.. That's what.

Jolly had smirked at him.. Noah had laughed at him.. Nicholas had gently tried to give him some pointers, and Ellie, bless her had stood with him in the middle of the office and tried to show him how to best move on his feet. Bending his knees, and even practising some of the tips Nicholas had given him in the group chat, right after Noah, the asshole, had laughed at him.. Ellie promised to make sure he paid for that.. Folio had made sure to give her a gigantic bear hug for that before he left after work to head home, wondering.. What did you even wear to a rollerskating date anyway?

Jeans, and a band-t in the end.. A call from Ellie had assured him that was fine, but that he should make sure to wear thick socks to support his ankles, at least, she thought so. Considering between Ellie and Nicholas, they’d been the most helpful today, he was willing to go with. Besides, when he wasn’t wearing sneakers and went with his biker boots, thick socks were a must, so, duh, it made perfect sense!

Why was he a mess, why, Ishtar was perfect, he just wanted to be perfect for her.

He turned up on his bike to the roller rink to find Ishtar already waiting for him there, sitting at one of the tables int the area just inside the rink's reception. Smiling so bright as he saw her, she looked just as ravishing as when he met her in the diner.

They’d gotten their skates, they laughed, and he’d warned her, he had, that he’d never gone roller skating.. Even told her about how Ellie and Nicholas had given him some pointers, tried to help him learn at least a little to no avail, but she assured him she’d look after him..

So that was how he’d come to step out onto the rink all wobbly on his feet, well, roll out on those wheels. It was nothing like being on his bike, even when he was riding with training wheels as a kid..

Gliding out, one foot, and then another, his hands gripping Ishtar’s tightly, he had smiled so bright with her, happy that they were having this time together, enjoying something together. That he was actually getting to do something with her that he knew made her happy. The joy he’d seen in her eyes was the most beautiful thing, and he wanted to find ways to see it again, so many more times.

That was when he had felt his feet slipping out from under him. He’d gripped tightly then, grasping suddenly at her hands, his feet reeling in his skates trying to get purchase on the floor, but with wheels under his feet that had felt nearly impossible. Ishtar had called out to him, trying to tell him something, trying to help him, but he couldn’t make sense of it before he was landing hard, right on his ass.

Oh, he’d groaned as he looked up at her from the floor where he had landed. The delight that she was, Ishtar hadn’t laughed at him, but it was the way she was doing everything in her control not to that got him. The press of her lips together, they had been so tight together he had been able to see these tiny dimples in her cheeks, all from her effort not to laugh. Her mirth danced in her violet eyes, and he had just been able to tell the way his face had felt so warm that he had blushed up a storm.. But he hadn’t been able to help himself.. He had been the one that started laughing.. Not because he’d felt awkward.. But it had just been so hilarious.

He’d fallen on his ass!

Even more, how cute it was that she had been trying so hard not to laugh at him.

When he’d barked out a laugh, she even shrieked out a laugh a little in turn, before clamping both her hands over her mouth to cover it at his look of surprise, which had only made him laugh harder!

In the end, they were both, in a complete hysterical mess of laughter and giggles as she tried to help him up to his feet. Slowly, so slowly, as much as he could, Folio had rolled his way to the side of the rink where he clung to, struggling to stay up. It had not helped one little bit that they kept falling back into fits of laughter along the way. Thankfully, Ishtar didn’t give up on him, not through the laughter even. He couldn’t help it, the constant bursts of laughter as she tried to help him skate after that. Not that Ishtar had really been any better either, giggling every time he would start laughing, and clinging to her as he clumsily tried to follow her around the rink while she glided so perfectly. She would just start with her giggles as soon as he chuckled, with each lurched movement.

Folio did get around the circuit of the rink completely at least once by the end of their date, though. Once! He was really proud of that. Admittedly it was with Ishtar’s help, not really a surprise with how bad he was, but he made it around without falling, or almost falling mind you. Folio just took that as a win, whether it was with or without help. One day may be would be able to go all the way around on his own, maybe. For now, Folio was not a man that was too proud to get help from her.

As they were leaving, that was when she suggested perhaps the guys and Ellie might want to come by the bar, she missed them hanging out.. And she hoped that they didn’t feel like they didn’t have to avoid the place now.. Folio said he’d asked them.. But admitted that sometimes he sort of dragged them to go to see her more.. His face flushing when he did..

Ishtar had smiled so brightly when he admitted that, reaching for his hand, telling him he should come back anyway, she missed seeing him, her nights were always better when he was there.. And oh, that had made him all kind of something tingly, promising to see if he could get them there tonight, if not, tomorrow, but he would get them there.. Something about the way he’d said it had made her giggle, and oh, how he loved hearing her laugh.. Even after hearing it so often in the rink, he would never, hear that never, tire of hearing that sound.

He offered to give her a lift home on his bike, and considering she had walked, took him up on the offer, the only trick, her helmet.. But she had had that covered.. And he’d grinned as she summoned one of her own design.. With space for her horns and all. Damn, sometimes it sucked only being able to do illusion magic.. All the same, with her cute little helmet on, his gorgeous biker chic, wrapped around his back, holding onto him so tightly, fuck.. He’d had vivid dreams about this, and he was going to thinking about this even more now that it had happened. He took her home.

Like a perfect gentleman, he even walked her right up to her door and said goodnight.. And maybe not quite like a gentleman, the kiss goodbye before she went inside to get ready for work that night got a little… heated.

Fuck. Waiting for everyone outside the bar, he was trying not to think about how hard it was to walk away from Ishtar at her door yesterday once he’d kissed her like that.. The first time he’d kissed her.. Their first kiss, and it was like it was seared into his memory. Part of him was a complete fucking degenerate considering it was their first kiss, she might be thinking it was all sweet.. And he’d gone home and needed a cold fucking shower and his right hand..

And then another shower less than an hour later when he thought about her riding on the motorcycle with him again.

Fuck fuck fuck.

They’d had such a sweet and innocent date.

He was not a sweet and innocent guy, not all the time anyway.

Folio loved having fun, he loved her smile, and the way her eyes shone in the sun. He loved the way she giggled over the smallest little thing when they were alone.. But at the same time.. He also appreciated that gorgeous woman’s ravishing beauty and she deserved to be worshipped like the goddess she was.. None of those assholes at the bar drooling over her, leering and gawking at her.. Flirting with her trying to get the fancy drinks when the assholes didn’t even have to pay so what was even the point?

Oh, no.. If he went in there, and he saw some guys flirting with Ishtar while she worked..

He knew he couldn’t do anything about it, he could get her in trouble.. He never wanted to get her in trouble, if she got fired because of him he’d never forgive himself. Nope, he was just going to have to figure out how to keep himself from doing something monumentally stupid..

Sighing, that was when he saw Jolly walking over with Nicholas not far behind.. Not surprised at all, Ellie and Noah were going to be the last to get here, three guesses why they were late again. He blamed Noah.. but..

“Dudes.. I think I’m going to need some help tonight.”

i’m not sure if you’ve done this before, but can i request ingo and emmet’s reaction (separately) to their s/o having a legendary/mythical pokémon? you can decide the pokémon they have btw!!

anyways their s/o is like “check out this funky guy i found the other day!! :)” and the twins are just like “..that’s god????”

tbh i’ve been thinking about this for a while because it sounds funny lol. anyways take your time with this request!!

just whip out celebi like "hey this floating onion just wanted to say hi :)"

▲Ingo▼

You were a small child out on a boring vacation with your parents when you first met the cat-like pokemon. It was a sweltering hot day on the small, unpopulated island. Your parents were happy to explore the scenic, untouched rocky beach terrain, but you weren't. You were sitting on the grass near the bright viridian dam of trees. Time passed slowly as you waited to return to the mainland. A sudden bright pink caught the corner of your eye. Rushing your head, you saw leaves shift and tempt you. Childlike curiosity took over, and you ran after the pink.

You ended up in a strange area with grass as taller than your body. The colour flew into the grass with its tail peeking out over the top. Chasing it around, eventually you caught it with a playful tackle. Bright azure eyes met yours, and it trilled gleefully at you. That was the day moment Mew became your friend and partner.

● Naturally, you don't exactly whip Mew out for just anyone. Many people want the pokemon and would do horrible things to obtain them. Your other team does most of the heavy lifting, but you'll let Mew out to play in more isolated places. They purred lightly as you scratched behind their eyes. It was a lazy afternoon in your new living arrangement with your boyfriend.

● Mew had yet to meet Ingo. It was hard to find the time to with how busy he had been lately, and you were attempting to gage whether he could be trusted with the knowledge of your dear friend's existence. The Subway Boss was someone you sensed no ill will from, and you knew the playful pokemon was getting curious about whom you came to live with. They floated around the living room, examining everything that belonged to Ingo with intrigue.

● What had gone unexpected was Ingo getting a minor injury to his leg that resulted in Emmet demanding he take off early as to not worsen the damage. He stopped outside the front door of his apartment. An unfamiliar pokemon's cry could be heard inside alongside you, demanding something to “put that down, right now!” Had you gotten a new pokemon today? Ingo unlocked the door.

● Inside was a horrifying sight of his beloved model train set levitating in the air with a pink aura shimmering around it. You were desperately trying to grab it, yet it was held just out of your reach. Lastly, the older twin noticed a giggling cat pokemon swishing its tail back and forth. It took precisely thirty seconds for him to realize what pokemon that was, “Love, is that a Mew?!” The train fell limply to the ground from sudden loudness. You about screamed.

● It was an awkward thing to tell your boyfriend that you didn't trust him to not steal your pokemon, but at least Ingo understood your concerns. There was still a bit of displeasure about it, however. He would never dream of doing such a thing. Mew flew around the Subway Boss excitedly, elated to meet your boyfriend finally. Ingo is just sitting there on a kitchen chair with his arms crossed, legs spread and deadpan expression while your mythical friend buzzed like a bee. You were tempted to take a picture.

● The twin eventually played with the cat pokemon a little, and Mew officially deemed him worthy to be with you by floating the conductor in the air for a moment. It took everything in his power not to scream; he doesn't like it even when his Chandelure does that. He returns safely to the ground. You let out a sigh of relief from a breath you didn't realize that you were holding. There was an uncertainty as to what you would do in the case Mew rejected him.

● He'll ultimately work to keep Mew safe alongside you. This unfortunately leads to him becoming a cat dad. Mew will knock something off a shelf, and he just sighs while scolding them like one might do a child. Sadly, your pink cat goes from a childhood friend to something akin to a kid for this reason. It would be sad if it wasn't obvious how much they clearly enjoy it (or annoying Ingo at the very least).

● Overall, he's impressed you managed to interest a pokemon believed by many to just be a myth passed along. When you explain how you met Mew, he kind of tilts his head with this hilarious confused expression. That was not at all much different from how he met his starter, Litwick. (He also momentarily feels like just met an equivalent for a sibling for you.)

▽Emmet△

You were a preteen when the victory pokemon first decided you were going to be its trainer. Your class had taken a trip to Liberty Island to experience some culture and history. Classmates quickly found themselves doing their own things in chatting and poking about to see what all they could get away with before a teacher scolded them. You, a bit of a loner going through a phase, leaned again the pewter brick of the lighthouse. The sun beat down scorchingly onto the small island you were trapped upon. A sudden loud noise coming from inside the structure had you jump away. What was that? You looked around wildly to see if a teacher or monitor was keeping an eye on you. With not a single one giving you any mind, you snuck inside the building.

The inside was decrepit and grimy, with a faint smell of ash hidden within the overwhelming scent of sea musk. A basement room at the end of the disgusting corridor is what truly caught your attention. Rushing down into it, there sat a rabbit like pokemon excited to greet you. You became a frighteningly unbeatable trainer seemingly overnight.

○ Just the same as Mew, Victini doesn't really get to be out the same as your other party members. Too many people want the poor thing, and nobody truly knew what others would do to get them. Still, the playful nature of them is allowed, so long as its in more private areas. They were chirping happily as you shook a wand around. Only a small amount of power was used to hit the toy, of course, Victini had no interest in killing their trainer.

○ Emmet had yet to be introduced to the victory pokemon. His schedule had been consumed by work as of late, and part of you was concerned he'd see your talents as a trainer as less from and more from Victini's supposed blessing to their trainer. Still, you could tell the pokemon was getting curious about who your home was shared with. They knew what you enjoyed, and they did not recall you having such strange clothing. A chirp came from the pokemon as they hit the toy once more.

○ Emmet had managed to finesse getting off early by leaving before his usual time. It was getting close to an anniversary for you both, and he had been wanting to surprise you. The precious desert he had gotten to share was stashed in a discreet white box. He approached the front door of your alarm but froze when an unknown pokemon cry rang out. Had you gotten a new partner today? The younger twin became ecstatic to meet them!

○ Throwing open the door, he was greeted to you aggressive attempting to smother something stick-like that had caught on fire. Emmet tilted his head. A panicking cream and carrot coloured pokemon waddled up to him and started pointing at you desperately. The Subway Boss proceeded to send out Archeops who put it out with a small rock slide. It was only then he realized what pokemon had greeted him, “Where did you get a Victini?!”

○ The embarrassment of having to tell your boyfriend you feared his judgement was offset by the relief that the fire being extinguished gave. He only giggled at the thought of him doubting your abilities as a trainer. Of course, he knew you were capable! Victini only further evidenced that, as he was quite certain they would only choose a strong trainer. They were extremely excited to meet the younger twin, too. Hopping, floating, and crying to get his attention to play with them. It was ridiculously adorable watching him play ball and tag with the little pokemon. You could almost forgive Victini for starting that fire.

○ They were quick friends. It was almost jealousy inducing how the conductor stole the victory pokemon's heart. You didn't know if you were more upset that your closest partner had chosen your boyfriend, or whether your boyfriend choosing Victini over you. In revenge, you took Elektross. You discovered the electric fish pokemon liked to wrap around you and squeeze, however. Emmet and Victini had to free you from its grasp. At least, Victini didn't decide to just disintegrate the poor Subway Boss after walking in the door.

○ Your secret is more than safe with him. No one will be hurting you or Victini should he and his team be nearby. He'll lovingly pet the rabbit pokemon's head and coo at them when they yell their cry at him. Emmet really loves how cute your partner was. He thinks they blend verrrrry well with you. A cute, strong duo that could beat even the most fearsome of opponents when together. It brought images of him and his brother into his mind. He wants to battle against you and Victini eventually.

○ He's thoroughly impressed by your rare friend and laughs about how you basically stumbled into them. Perhaps, Victini saw your potential when even you were unaware of it. His starter, Tynamo, chose him, too; he believes, at least. (Emmet is glad Victini likes him; he'd be upset if any of your pokemon disliked him, but even more so something as extraordinary as the mythical pokemon.)

#ingo x reader #emmet x reader #pokemon x reader #ingo/reader #emmet/reader #pokemon ingo x reader #pokemon emmet x reader #might do an alternate scenario for reshiram and zekrom or zacian and zamazenta because i think the idea of you being like they're just like

Sim Yearbook Challenge by @bauhauzzz

Just a challenge to brush off the dust of that old yearbook and show the world how your oc or ocs looked when they were teenagers! were they edgy? were they more on the nerdy side? you can share as many pics as you’d like but please if you do join I’d love to see your entries, so tag your posts using the tag #yearbookchallenge and have fun!

Do I know how yearbooks work? No. Was I tagged? Also no. But I wanted to do this so I could have an excuse to take awkward teenage pictures of my main sims. Rambling under the cut.

Okay sooo. I imagine they’re all like 16-17 here, but they’re not actually the same age and they didn’t go to the same schools. When they were 16, Sharon still didn’t attend the same school as the triplets, and well, Rachel was about 10 when the triplets were 16 lol (don’t forget Rachel met Caleb when they were both all grown up already). Ross is canonically a year and a half younger than the triplets. So yeah, these photos weren’t taken in the same school year. I know you don’t care but I had to get it out haha. Moving on.

Caleb my beloved. Nothing to say here. Good unproblematic boy who never participates in any drama...unlike his brother.

“Redheads have souls, you guys are just mean.”

We talked about Tyler’s name enough, but look, he can make fun of it. Wouldn’t be Tyler otherwise. Here you can see him shortly after he made the decision to grow out his hair, but he has yet to grow into the person he’s now. Ohh and he’s lying. He was a Whovian. He watched Doctor Who with his little sister Zoey and secretly enjoyed it.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, I swear I do not watch Doctor Who.”

Bianca still had long hair back then! It’s strange to see but she looks good in anything. She stole that quote from some scientist, I think. Idk, I googled funny science quotes and forgot to write down who said it 😅

“Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.”

Ross 🤝 tumblr user nikatyler

strong hatred for their surname

(and also the same terrible haircut in freshman year. dark times.)

No seriously, who let me pick Breeze as the legacy surname. Thank god Ross’s father had a normal surname so I can go with that 😂 And look, the yearbook kids granted Ross’s wish...sort of.

I’m still sad I didn’t give Ross an awkward edgy teenager phase for at least a few posts when I played the legacy, but oh well. This picture is enough. He’ll always have an awkward edgy phase around 16 in my heart. Then something happened and he suddenly got handsome and took advantage of it.

“Don’t you dare to call me Ross Breeze in the yearbook or else I’m sending my vampire best friend at you.”

Sharon! In the sims 3 story that I’m writing, she lived in quite a conservative environment for most of her life, not to mention her father is very strict...I think she’d look a lot like a basic white christian girl for a little bit (nothing wrong with that at all, it’s just not her). I wasn’t sure what to do with her quote, so in the end I picked this because she’s an athletic gal who loves running (and even does it professionally later).

“Sorry, gotta run.”

Rachel was a pure innocent bookworm in high school. Well, on the first sight. You best believe she ran a fandom tumblr and wrote terrible smut fanfiction about her favourite characters. I also considered putting “fictional characters made my standards too high” as her quote, but then I thought the one I chose is a bit more in character for her.

“Books before boys!”

I wasn’t tagged so I’m not officially tagging anyone either, but please please please do this too, it’s so fun.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

PART FIVE

“Man, I wish microwaveable popcorn was a thing when we were kids. Remember what a pain it was to make popcorn over the stove?”

You and Jungkook were sat up against the side of his bed, a bag of popcorn in between you.

“I once set an entire pot of kernels on fire when I was ten. The whole stovetop just whooshed into flames.”

You nodded at Jungkook’s words, “You know, that really doesn’t surprise me.”

“Yeah?” Jungkook laughed.

“I always figured you were a chaotic child,” You mused, taking a swig from the bottle of vodka, “my question is… why were you allowed to use the stovetop unsupervised at ten years old? Where were your parents?”

“Lawyer parents, remember? I did whatever the hell I wanted.”

You frowned, “Well, what happened? Did you burn the house down?”

Jungkook took this moment to grab the bottle from you, taking a sip of his own.

“Hmm? Oh no, the maid just put it out, and I went upstairs to play Atari or something.” He shrugged. You rolled your eyes.

“You rich kids are annoying.”

Jungkook merely flashed you a smile, popping a kernel into his mouth as he chewed it languidly.

“Did you know that Francis Crick and James Watson didn’t actually discover the double helix shape of DNA?” You brought up suddenly, eyes wide.

“What?” Was all Jungkook could reply, too drunk to understand the sudden turn the conversation had taken.

“Yeah! They actually based their findings on a colleague's. Rosalind Franklin. Her images are what revealed DNA to be in the shape of a helix.”

Jungkook’s said nothing, his eyes quietly resting on you, clearly intoxicated.

You quirked up an eyebrow, “What?”

“Nothing you’re just… so lame.” He observed.

“Hey!”

“No, no, no. Lame but, like, in a cool way.”

“Was that meant to be a compliment? Because I’m still offended.” You deadpanned.

“Isn’t it interesting that even when drunk you’re still a nerd? Like does your brain ever shut off?” Jungkook continued, eyebrows furrowing as if your intelligence was indeed some unsolved mystery.

“Are you even listening to me, meathead? Rosalind Franklin discovered DNA’s shape yet those two dinguses got all the credit! How the hell is that fair?”

“Woahhhh… that’s kinda bunk.” Jungkook’s eyes went round.

“Totally bunk!” You emphasized, throwing your hands up in disbelief.

For a moment, silence fell over the two, soaking in the injustice of it all.

Jungkook was the first to break the silence.

“Tell me about the best sex you’ve ever had.”

Your eyes flickered over to him, equal parts confused and surprised at where he had chosen to take the conversation.

Then again… this was Jungkook you were talking about.

“Mine was the night after prom in my car outside my date’s house.”

You hardly paid Jungkook’s confession any mind, too in your head to even absorb any additional information.

“Well, I’ve only ever been with Erik…” You explained vaguely, still trying to sort through all your sexual encounters with your ex.

“Okay, then what was the best sex you guys ever had?”

Tilting your head to the side, you furrowed your eyebrows.

It wasn’t like sex with Erik was terrible. You loved him and loved that you got to be intimate with him in that way. But as far as which time was the best… well, you supposed they were all pretty much the same.

“Maybe the night of my 18th birthday? It was the closest I ever came to–” You cut yourself off, your words falling from you before you could think about what it was you were about to reveal to Jungkook.

Jungkook's head cocked to the side, causing his hair to shift.

"Closest you came to what?"

“To, uh… an orgasm?” You admitted, a shy smile on your face.

“You’ve never orgasmed during sex?!”

Your hands flew out to cover Jungkook's gaping mouth, giggles filling the room.

“I mean… no, not really.”

“Not really?!” He let out a breath of disbelief.

"It's not like either of us knew what we were doing. We were each other's first time." You shrugged.

This answer didn't see to satiate him, however, as he shook his head, “Y/N, you really are missing out. You should make sure your next partners are better.”

“Well, it’s not like I’ve just got a pool of people interested in me to pick from.”

The messy-haired boy scrunched up his nose, flashing you a look as if he was questioning your IQ.

“Of course, you do! Listen. Believe me when I say some guys dig that whole subtle yet sexy nerd thing you got going on.”

“Uh, thanks. I think?” You replied stiffly, staring down at the bag of popcorn that was growing increasingly empty. Was that Jungkook's doing or yours?

Your drunken curiosity was sated the second a handful of popcorn found your fake boyfriend's mouth.

“What about you?”

Jungkook paused at your words, turning to you in muddled confusion.

“Have I orgasmed during sex?” He frowned, mouth full of the buttery snack.

“No, you dickwad." You snickered, grabbing the bottle from his side, twisting back on the cap. "Are you into nerdy girls? Or do you only like girls who only like you once they think you've lost interest in them?”

It was a dig at Kiri, you knew it was, but quite frankly you had just enough alcohol in your system to not care. As far as your interaction with her went, she was not a nice person enough for you to even consider feeling bad.

“Is this your way of asking if I’d fuck you? Because the answer is a hard yes.”

You let out a laugh, lightly shoving Jungkook’s shoulder, ignoring how his breezy comment had made your stomach flip.

“I’m serious. I’m curious as to what kind of people you’re attracted to.”

“Honestly, I can't remember the last time I genuinely liked someone. I mean, I know when my dick likes someone but…”

Jungkook could see the confusion cross your face.

“Wait, what about Kiri? Don’t you like her?”

“What? Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course.” He shook his head as if to refocus his thoughts.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I really don't understand why you want to get back with her so badly. She left you for your fraternity brother. I don't think your relationship is very healthy— for either of you." You confessed.

You had been thinking about this ever since the first day you met Jungkook; it was only just now that you had gotten the chance to tell him.

“There's a lot of history between us, Y/N. She's my best friend... or at least she was. I don't know. Things are different now, but it's hard just to call it quits after all this time."

For a split second, you wanted to ask if he even still loved her, but realizing it really didn't matter, you held your tongue.

"You guys look good together." You said instead. "She's hot, you're hot. You're both in Greek life..."

Had he been sober, Jungkook would have undoubtedly commented on the fact that you had called him hot, but instead, he just drunkenly nodded, murmuring a small word of agreement.

"Tell me about Erik." Jungkook spoke finally after the two of you fell silent.

You let your head fall back, resting against the bed.

"What about him?"

"Everything. How did you guys start dating? What was he like? Why did you guys break up?"

You let out a hum, bringing your knees to your chest.

"We were both in the biotech academy, although he went to a neighboring high school. We met at a chemistry competition, actually." You began, wrapping your arms around your shins.

"Ah, yes, the beginning to every dorky love story." Jungkook nodded, coaxing a soft chuckle from you.

"Yeah. You could say we looked good together too."

Jungkook shifted, bringing an arm up to place on the bed as he leaned into his side to get a better look at you.

"He was kind of perfect, you know. Charming, good looking, smart... like, really smart. The kind of smart that inspired me to work harder because, well, I really wanted to be a girlfriend he could be proud of."

It was strange to hear you talk like this. As far as Jungkook knew, everything you did was for yourself. Not in a selfish way but in a way that was empowering and self-governing; he couldn't really couldn't imagine you living any other way.

“So then why did you break up?” Jungkook asked, eating some more popcorn. "I mean, other than his inability to bring you to climax."

"He asked me to marry him."

Jungkook paused mid-chew.

"Woah, right after high school? That's crazy!"

You gave him a soft smile, "Actually, I said yes."

Jungkook’s mind was whirling. You had agreed to marry your high school sweetheart? The idea wasn’t super far fetched, certainly not in the town where the two of you were from, but it certainly didn’t feel like something you’d ever do.

You watched expectantly as Jungkook’s gaze fell onto your left hand’s ring finger. It was free of any kind of jewelry, however.

"Erik was a wonderful boyfriend. He used to shower me with compliments; said I was beautiful, funny, and all he could ever want, but, you know, he never once called me smart.”

You straightened up, waving a hand in front of you as you began to clarify what you meant.

“Obviously, I don’t need to be reminded that I’m smart. I’m confident in myself and my abilities. But it’s true, he never acknowledged any of my achievements.”

Jungkook’s expression softened. You had said it matter-of-factly, but he could imagine how hard that must have been for the person you loved not to take the time to recognize how hard you worked.

“At first I didn’t really mind all the sly comments and disinterested replies– if anything, it just propelled me to work harder; I just wanted to impress him. It didn’t matter in the end though. Because no matter how many extracurriculars I joined or how many tests I aced, it was never enough to interest him.”

“But he was so charming and otherwise a good boyfriend so I never really said anything. I loved him. So, I said yes.”

“But… you didn’t marry him.” Jungkook added. You nodded through a sigh.

"It was the day after he proposed, I had just found out I was granted my scholarship that would take me to college here, but instead of celebrating with me, he got upset. He didn’t understand why I was so insistent on going to college when he was going to become some bigshot doctor that make enough for both of us. He said he would take care of everything.” You recalled. "And I know that's all some people want to hear– that they'll be taken care of. But..."

"But not you." Jungkook said.

"I want to be able to take care of me. I want to be able to wake up every day and do something I love... and I want the person I love to be excited about that, too. To encourage me to follow my dreams. And as much as I loved Erik, I wasn’t willing to let all my hard work amount to nothing. I had something to prove to every teacher that doubted me, to my dad– to myself.”

Jungkook wished he could articulate all the thoughts that were running his head. He would tell you that he understood that you made the right decision. He wanted to say that Erik was an asshole for ever making you feel like you weren’t enough. But Jungkook was drunk and his heart was pounding too loud as he watched the way your breathing grew heavier, clearly somewhat emotional.

“Erik needed someone to depend on him, to sit at home and listen to his day, all while being smart enough to hold a conversation as long as it was about him and his achievements. Once I came to terms with that, I gave back the ring." You revealed.

Jungkook ran his tongue over his bottom lip, the surface dried out from the popcorn’s salt.

"How did that go?”

“Actually, surprisingly well.” You mused. “Don’t get me wrong, we were totally crying like idiots — we were each other’s first love after all — but he admitted that he was surprised I said yes in the first place. I think he really hoped I’d be the kind of wife he wanted, but, deep down, he knew that I just wasn’t that girl.”

“I think you were wrong about him.”

Turning your head over to the frat boy, you furrowed your brows together, “Huh?”

“You said he was some super-smart genius, right? I think you’re wrong. Only a moron would ask a girl like you to shrink yourself just so he could feel big.” Jungkook glowered.

You said nothing, bringing your chin to rest on top one of your knees as you stared at the suddenly angry boy beside you.

“If anything, Erik couldn’t cope with the fact that you were probably smarter than him. I know my man ego is frail, but god damn his was paper-thin. You’re formidable, Y/N. Completely and utterly capable of anything you set your mind to and anyone who gets scared off by that isn’t worth your fucking time.”

“Jungkook…” You muttered, a strange feeling in your stomach fluttering.

“I’m serious, nerd. You’re like… um… the sun!” Jungkook marveled, eyes growing full as the realization dawned on him.

“The sun?” You laughed.

“Yeah, like… you’re this bright, beautiful thing that seems like it’s here in front of me but is really light-years away.”

Jungkook was drunk, and although you were sure he was making more sense in his head, you couldn’t help but feel your face grow hot, unsure of how to react to his drunk analogy.

“You’re the sun, Y/N. You make the world turn for you. Never orbit for anyone else.”

And suddenly, you were kissing him, for no other reason other than you wanted to and that it felt like the right thing to do.

His hands found your waist, ushering you onto his lap so that he could kiss you easier, wasting no time in reciprocating. Gripping your thighs, he left out a sigh as your mouth found his neck.

“What are you doing, silly girl?” He cooed, causing your insides to squirm.

“Guess I’m also a frisky drunk.” You muttered into his neck, letting your tongue run against it.

“Yeah?” Jungkook hummed, letting his eyes fall shut.

“Well, I have drunkenly kissed Yara more times than I probably should.” You admitted, pulling away from him.

“And here I thought I was special. You’re a heartbreaker, Y/N.” Jungkook let out a dramatic scoff, hand slapping against the side of your thigh ever so lightly.

He was expecting a witty comment in response, or at least a drunken giggle. What he wasn’t expecting was the way you’re eyes were fixated on his revealed torso, a shy but unmistakably wanton expression on your face.

“What is it?”

Your eyes flashed back up to his in surprise.

“Tell me. If there’s something you want, you have to tell me so I can give it to you.”

“W-What?” You stammered.

“You’ve been ogling me ever since I walked into your dorm.” He continued coolly. “You don’t have to pretend like you’re indifferent towards me, because I know you’re not.”

He sat up suddenly, causing your ears to heat up as his face suddenly neared yours.

“So, if you want something, tell me.” He muttered lowly, one of his hands grabbing yours as he pressed it against his torso.

Biting your lip, you let your fingers run against the firm surface of his abs before, to both your and Jungkook’s surprise, your hand found the crotch of your fake lover’s sweats.

A sharp breath came tumbling from Jungkook’s lips as you began to palm over his already semi-hard cock. For a moment, Jungkook wondered if he had drunk himself stupid and that this was just an inebriated hallucination. The feeling of your mouth finding his collarbones told him very quickly that he was, in fact, still awake.

“This what you need, hm? Need my cock?”

You let your teeth nip at Jungkook’s hot skin, protesting against his mocking words. Your actions did nothing to deter the boy, however, as a low moan fell from him.

You could feel the way he had stiffened under your hand’s ministrations, thrilling the most primal part of you.

Fingering the waistband of his sweats, you let out a heavy breath, “This is wrong.”

This was extremely wrong. You should not be seconds away from taking the dick of your pretend boyfriend into your hand, especially when he was planning on going back to his ex. Speaking of which, Kiri was probably still somewhere downstairs.

“Morality sucks.”

You pulled away from Jungkook’s neck with eyes wide. He had a cocky smirk on his face, undoubtedly smug at the way he had quoted Glen Lantz just now. It was the kind of expression that any other occasion would summon a scoff from you but given the circumstances, you couldn’t help but return it back to him.

“Get on the bed. Lay down for me.” Jungkook ordered, causing your stomach to do a flip.

You gave him a timid nod before moving up from his lap.

You had hardly had your back on the bed before his mouth found yours, newfound desperation in his movements. You struggled to keep up with the kiss, too consumed in the feeling of his warm palm making it down the fabric of your sweater, running under it as he searched for the button of your pants.

With his tongue against your neck, his hand found slipped between your thighs, pressing against the wet patch of your underwear. You flinched, it had been so long since someone else had touched you like this.

“You okay?” He asked suddenly, pulling away from your neck. He wanted to make sure it was okay to touch you like this.

“Yeah. Just been a while.” You confessed, face hot.

And just like that, his touch lightened, trailing up and down your clothed slit carefully. It was meant to be gentle but his feather-like touch caused your hips to jerk, the feeling trying you crazy. You could hardly stay still as he began to kiss you, fingers slowly quickening in speed.

You tugged at his hair, knowing now the way he liked it and you preen with pride as it made him rut against your thigh.

Whining as he suddenly sank two fingers into you, Jungkook broke the kiss, moving to sit upon his knees to get a better look at you as he began to fuck into you.

You were certainly a sight to see, eyes struggling to stay open as you lost yourself to the feeling, small cries escaping you as he rolled over your clit. His free hand was gripping your thigh, enjoying the way it was shaking under his touch.

As much as you wanted to maintain yourself, your hips had a mind of their own, rolling up to meet every thrust, desperate for his touch. Jungkook’s eyes never left you and it wasn’t long before it became too much.

“Jungkook... stop staring at me.” You whined, finally.

“Sorry, you’re just so sensitive. I like watching your reactions.” Jungkook admitted lowly, chuckling as you moaned in response to a particularly hard thrust.

Heat rocketed up to your neck, forcing you to look away.

“S-Shut up, I hate you.”

“Considering how wet you are for me, I have a hard time believing that, baby.”

“Dammit, just fuck me already.” You begged.

As much as the thought of coming undone on his fingers appealed to you, you would be damned if you left this party without his dick going inside of you. You didn’t know if you’d ever get another chance like this one and the alcohol in your system would be the perfect excuse for doing this in the first place.

Jungkook felt his balls tightened, the idea alone exciting him.

“Well, since you asked so nicely.” He teased dryly, moving back in between your legs, hand gripping the edge of his shirt to pull it over his head.

“Wait!” You cried out before you could stop yourself, immediately wishing you could take back the exclamation.

“What? What’s wrong?” Jungkook worried, eyes growing wide in concern.

“N-No, leave it on.”

Dammit, dammit!

It slipped out of your mouth before you had the chance to stop yourself.

You had a massive crush on Johnny Depp, so the second Jungkook pulled up to your dorm dressed as Glenn Lantz you knew you were done for. The idea of Glenn Lantz fucking you had you embarrassingly excited and now Jungkook knew that.

You were expecting Jungkook to laugh or make some slick comment that would inevitably convince you out of letting him put his dick inside you, but to your surprise, he merely smirked, first wrapping around his cock as he lead himself to your wet entrance.

Your fingers dug into his shoulders as he sunk into you, the stretch stealing a breath from you. Shutting your eyes, you felt as he finally bottomed out; it had been so long since you had felt this full and you almost forgot the feeling.

Jungkook cursed into your neck, kissing the skin there to calm himself down. You felt so good wrapped around him but the last thing he needed was him cumming early and you thinking he was a one pump chump.

Your soft whines and the way your hips were moving into his was his sign to start moving, clearly adjusted to him inside you.

You should have expected that Jungkook would be good at his, but the way he instantly found the right pace and angle caught you off guard, robbing you of a moan.

“Fuck.”

You sounded so pretty like this and Jungkook’s chest swelled at the thought that your sounds were for him.

“Fuck, you feel so good. So tight and wet for me.” He grunted.

Gripping the back of his neck, you brought Jungkook into a kiss, missing the way his tongue tasted against yours. The kiss didn’t last for long as an unfamiliar feeling formed inside you, causing you to shut your eyes close.

Jungkook hardly noticed, his cock was pounding in you as he chased after the way you cried out his name.

“Jungkook– ah!” You lost footing of your voice, momentarily distracted by a particularly hard thrust.

“Ah, fuck. W-Wait, stop.”

Jungkook froze at your words, licking at his lips as he pulled away from your neck, stilling his hips.

“Are you okay?” Jungkook asked, eyes running over you to see if he had somehow hurt you. Your breathing was labored and you were biting down onto your bottom lip, hair fanned out on either side and if Jungkook weren’t so concerned, he would’ve taken a moment to admire just how beautiful you were like this.

“Y-Yes, I’m… I just...” You breathed, hips jerking up into Jungkook’s.

The action didn’t go unnoticed by him, of course, and it wasn’t until he realized just how tightly you were wrapped around his cock that he understood exactly what was wrong.

“Do you need to cum?”

The question alone elicited a whimper from you and within a second, Jungkook’s thumb found your clit.

A high pitch moan left your swollen lips and Jungkook took that as his cue to rock back into you.

“You’re just so wound up, huh? Wanna come all over my cock, is that right?” Jungkook was at your neck now, tasting the salt on your skin as he whispered filth into it.

“Jungkook— fuck!” You moaned, eyes fluttering shut.

“I’m making a mess of little pussy of yours, aren’t I? No wonder you’re so desperate to cum. You need it so bad, don’t you?”

“Y-Yes.” Was your weak reply, your heavy breaths nearly swallowing up your answer entirely.

“You’re okay, ah, I’ve got you, baby. I’ll take care of you. Just relax and think about how nice my cock is stretching you out.” Jungkook grunted, his own orgasm starting to catch up with him.

A broken came tumbling out at the sheer intensity of stimulation, especially as Jungkook grabbed on of your thighs and pushed it up to your chest, allowing for a deeper angle.

“Doin’ so good. So good for me.” He rasped out, so close to cumming.

It was Jungkook’s words of praise that finally sent you over the edge, back arching against the bed as white spots filled your vision. You could only vaguely make out the feeling of Jungkook pulling out of you to release his own climax onto your stomach, pulling up your sweater just in time to save it from the ungodly cum stains.

You flopped back onto the bed with a huff, eyes wide and still shaking from the aftershocks. Jungkook was rubbing at your thighs encouragingly, watching the way you slowly came down from your orgasm.

For a moment neither of you said a word, pants and heavy breathing filling the air instead.

“Holy shit.” You finally broke the silence.

That was what you had been missing out on all these years?! You felt robbed.

“Hey... Just curious but was that your first orgasm like ever?” Jungkook asked innocently. Your reaction was just so earnest and innocent and although he knew your ex never made you cum, he wondered if even by your hand you had never climaxed before.

You met his eyes briefly before turning your head to the side, clearly embarrassed.

“...Yes.”

“Really? So when you touch yourself, you don’t–”

“I already said yes, didn’t I?” You snapped, bottom lip jutting out slightly. Jungkook didn’t care much for your tone, but given the circumstances, he let it slide.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve taken my time– eaten you out until you came or something.”

“I didn’t think it mattered.” You answered vaguely, wishing more than anything for the topic of conversation to shift.

To your surprise, Jungkook’s hand found your jaw, forcing your eyes to meet his.

“Can I kiss you?”

He didn’t know why he felt the sudden urge to but he just knew he wanted to.

His request came as a surprise to, considering the two of you had just done a fair bit more than just kissing. You nodded automatically, humming in content as his mouth found yours for a kiss that was far less rushed than previous ones.

The two of you exchanged the gesture of affection lazily, Jungkook’s fingertips brushing against your waist as your breathing slowed.

“I'm sure you don’t wanna hear this but knowing I’m the only person who has ever made you cum has inflated my ego like you wouldn’t believe.” Jungkook confessed as he broke the kiss, causing you to scoff.

“Right, because I’m the reason your ego is the larger than our fucking solar system.”

Jungkook’s expression fell flat, eyes turning cold as you began to giggle.

“Bite me, nerd.” He glared despite the way the sides of his mouth turned up at the sound of your laughter, moving to kiss you once more.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

“So...” Yara began, hands clasped together in front of her. “How was the party?”

Yara, Jungkook and you were sat at the library, where the three of you had planned to meet after the party to catch up on some work.

What was unexpected, however, as the way the two of you had taken a seat across from Yara with guilty expressions and far more hickeys than she had recalled counting on either of you.

The moment you averted your eyes as she faced you, she knew you were keeping something from her and she already was playing out a couple of scenarios that might have gone down at the party.

“Good.” Jungkook answered uneasily. Yara hummed, locking her eyes onto the squirming boy.

You had known Yara for a long time and had become somewhat immune to her intimidating ways, but Jungkook had only known Yara for a month or so. Hardly enough time to build up immunity.

She suppressed a smirk. Target acquired.

“That’s good.” Yara said, glare unmoving.

If Yara really were the supernatural creature you sometimes insisted she was, she would’ve heard the way Jungkook’s pulse quickened, fists under the table clenching and unclenching as he fought the urge to flee.

Jungkook felt his stomach churn as she quirked up an eyebrow at him, mouth pressed into a straight line.

“Y/N and I had sex—”

“Jungkook!” You turned to him in disbelief.

“Holy shit!”

Jungkook’s face scrunched up in regret, sinking back into his chair as your best friend’s jaw dropped.

“We agreed we weren’t gonna tell her.” You pouted.

“Shit, I know, I’m sorry but did you see the way she was looking at me?!” He cried, a finger coming up to point at the petite girl sitting across the table. “That stare isn’t human.”

“I can’t believe this! You guys did the nasty and weren’t gonna tell me?” Yara gaped.

You flinched, glancing around to see if you were disturbing any neighboring students. “I was gonna tell you… eventually.”

“It’s like she was in my head. Like she could see inside me– all my thoughts, my secrets, my innermost feelings...” Jungkook muttered, hands coming up to press against his temples.

Yara continued on, ignoring the traumatized boy. “I’m hurt, Y/N. Not as a manager, but as your best friend. That is totally not something we would ever keep from each other.”

“I was afraid that when I told you, you were gonna think this changed things!” You urged.

You really had planned on telling Yara, you just didn’t want to do it with Jungkook in the room. Yara already seemed to have this preconceived notion that you were trying to actually date Jungkook and the last thing you needed was that idea confusing him.

“Well, does it?” Yara pressed.

Jungkook’s eyes flickered over to you suddenly, equally as curious as Yara to hear your response.

“...No. No, of course not.” You shook your head.

“Kiri’s definitely pissed.” Jungkook cleared his throat, eager to change the subject. “Y/N put on quite the performance last night.”

The sides of Yara’s mouth curled up wolfishly.

“Oh, I bet she did.” She mused suggestively causing you to blush.

“Not like that, you nympho.”

“Did you guys talk to her?” Yara inquired, ignoring you.

You nodded.

“Is she the worst? Do we hate her?” Yara squinted, leaning in close as she directed your words only at you.

A nervous giggle left you, sparing Jungkook a cautious glance. She was his ex-girlfriend, after all...

“Uh, she’s… I mean, you know, I’m the girl who is dating her ex so...”

“I see.” Yara picked up on your hesitancy to speak ill of Kiri as she sent you a slow nod, immediately understanding what you were trying to say.

Kiri sucked.

Jungkook was sat in his chair, eyebrows slightly furrowed as he watched the girls’ interaction, as if something was being said that he couldn’t quite hear.

“Also... She’s, uh, currently dating Eunwoo.” You told Yara.

Your best friend blinked, silence falling over her.

“Yara?”

“Good for her.” She perked up almost forcibly. “Let her put up with his annoying ass.”

Yara could see the way your expression had turned dubious as if you didn’t believe her nonchalant act.

Yara turned up her nose defensively, “What?”

“No, nothing. I was just expecting more of a reaction is all.” You waved your hands dismissively.

“Pshh, I don’t care where Eunwoo is getting his dick wet.”

“Are you sure–”

“Let’s do some homework, yeah?” Yara cut you off with a tight smile that you didn’t fail to miss.

You watched as your best friend reached for her textbook and threw it open, hardly paying you any further mind. Looking over to Jungkook, you found him already turned your way, his face twisted in mild concern.

It wasn’t something you had ever brought up with Jungkook – or Yara for that matter – but you always had a sneaking suspicion that Yara cared more about Eunwoo than she let on. As much as she insisted that Eunwoo’s feelings had scared her off, a part of you wondered if Yara’s own feelings didn’t have a role in that fear as well.

Offering Jungkook a shrug, you too turned back to your work laid out on the table in front of you.

A few minutes passed through; you were rewriting your notes when you experimentally spared Yara a glance, only to see a deep furrow on her face. Something was clearly bothering her.

“Yara?”

The girl in question slammed her pencil down, opening her mouth immediately, “Not that I give a rat’s ass about Eunwoo – because I don’t – but I can’t believe he’s dating someone already.”

“How long were you guys together?” Jungkook wondered.

“Like three months.” Yara told him through a frown.

Jungkook hummed, “Well, when did you guys break up?”

“A week after school started.”

“Maybe he’s just trying to move on?” He offered, unsure of how to comfort her.

Taking in your best friend’s sour expression, you bit down on your lip.

“Yara, are you... jealous?” You assumed.

Immediately, Yara’s eyes found yours, green eyes growing wide.

“Jealous? Hah! My cold, dead heart doesn’t know jealous. What I know is that Eunwoo is a fucking idiot.” She scoffed. “This is the kid who called me every day for two weeks after we broke up professing his love for me. How is he just suddenly over me and dating someone else? That someone being Jungkook’s bitchy ass ex?”

Yara glanced over to Jungkook as if an afterthought, “No offense, jockstrap.”

“You did not just call me jockstrap.” Jungkook deadpanned.

“Hey now, Kiri’s not a bitch, I never said that.” You defended weakly. Yara flashed you a look. She had known you for too long not to be able to read in between your words.

“You really are such a class act, Y/N. Truly admirable. However, you should know that if she throws even one snarky comment my way, I’m knocking her teeth in.”

“Yara!”

“I’m serious. It’ll be lights out for Miss Kiri.” Yara insisted, intertwining her fingers and stretching them out in front of her. A laugh escaped you against your better judgment.

“In that case, remind me not to let you out of my sight if she comes to Y/N’s event.” Jungkook laughed nervously, unsure of just how serious the small but frightening girl was being.

Yara’s looked over to you with wide eyes.

“So, does that mean...?”

You perked up in your seat. You nearly had forgotten.

“Oh, yeah! It’s happening! I’m throwing my event!” You announced excitedly.

“Holy shit, finally! That’s amazing, Y/N, congrats!”

“Well, it’s not set in stone yet–”

“Nah, Tae’s true to his word. If he says he’ll help, then you can count on him.” Jungkook reassured.

“Who’s Tae?” Yara cocked her head.

“My frat brother and head of Beta Tau Sigma’s finance committee. Y/N pitched her idea to him last night and he agreed to arrange funding for the event.” Jungkook went on to explain. A smile found your face as you recalled the interaction.

"This Tae guy sounds bitchin’.” Yara approved with a nod.

“Yeah, he really is like a brother to me.” Jungkook smiled.

Suddenly, you wondered if Taehyung was who Jungkook went to for advice. Was Taehyung his Yara? You really never gave much thought on who Jungkook’s friends were but, strangely enough, the idea of meeting them intrigued you. Especially if they were all as lovely as Tae.

You watched in silence as Jungkook and Yara continued on with their conversation, a warm feeling falling over you at the sight of them getting along and enjoying each other’s company. Even if Jungkook was just your fake boyfriend, the thought that he and your best friend and could be friends made you happy. Maybe foolishly so but happy nonetheless. Selfishly, you began to wonder if there was any way the two of you could stay like this after he got back with Kiri.

“I dunno, jockstrap. I just think The Shining is boring.” Yara shrugged.

The subject had somehow shifted in the time you had been spacing out, falling victim to your thoughts. Horror movies now seemed to be the topic of interest.

Jungkook shook his head defiantly.

“Okay, firstly, psychological horror is meant to be slow-paced and secondly, call me jockstrap one more time and I’ll rip up your John Cusack posters and force-feed you the scraps.”

Yara let out a cold laugh, crossing her arms over her chest, “Bold of you to assume I don’t already want John Cusack down my throat.”

A laugh came tumbling out of you, taking in Jungkook’s horrified expression, not expecting such a vulgar response.

Yeah. Maybe having Jungkook around permanently wouldn’t be so bad.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

You had made it very clear to Jungkook that the two of you having sex was a one-time thing; your copulation had been a momentary lapse of judgment fueled by the way alcohol made you both irrationally horny.

So the second Jungkook’s fingers found the skin on your thigh, you couldn’t help but stiffen.

“Meathead.” Was your warning.

“What? Your skin is soft.” He muttered, not taking his eyes off his book. “I’m not doing anything wrong…”

Your teeth found the plush of your lip as you fought the urge to press your thighs together.

You and Jungkook were sat upon your bed days after the Halloween party. Inviting him over to study had been your idea, trying to make a point to Yara that the two of you could go back to normal after sleeping with one another.

For the most part, things had been normal. Sure, maybe you could argue that Jungkook stared at you a little more than you were used to but it wasn’t anything you couldn’t just pin on the fact that that boy often spaced out. Your face just happened to be where he liked to focus on it seemed.

So when while studying his palm found the top of your thigh, you paused your reading, glancing over at the boy cautiously only to discover him, seemingly, emerged in the book of his own.

It wasn’t until his fingers suddenly began trailing up and down your thigh, rubbing circles into the supple flesh that you realized the gesture wasn’t near as innocent as you initially assumed.

“Right?” Jungkook cooed, attention suddenly on you as he trailed his fingers further down your thigh than you should have allowed.

Your ears felt hot.

As much as you wanted to push his hand away and stop his ministrations here, another part of you was replaying the way the same handheld and touched you the night of the party in your head.

You met Jungkook’s eyes; he wasn’t even bothering to suppress his smirk that cocky bastard.

A small sigh found you as his fingers discovered your inner thigh, dangerously close to where your panties were dampening underneath your pajama shorts.

“You didn’t answer me.”

“N-No, nothing wrong.” You stuttered quietly, opposite leg rising up to bend at the knee to allow Jungkook’s hand a point of entry.

God, this was way more embarrassing when you were sober. You weren’t some lust-driven sex hungry animal, you could easily resist his advances if you wanted to. But you didn’t want to. You had gone two years without having sex and you’d be lying if you didn’t think back to that night you shared with Jungkook often.

Your thoughts were interrupted, breath hitching as you felt Jungkook’s slender fingers slipping underneath your shorts.

“You’re a strange girl, Y/N. You like to pretend like I’m just apart of the contract yet here you are. Letting me touch you like this.” Jungkook hummed, fingers trailing up and down between your thighs, lightly running against your clothed core.

You let out a whimper, handing coming around to wrap itself around Jungkook’s wrist, urging him to apply more pressure.

“Impatient, aren’t we?” He mocked. You opened your mouth to reply when he found your panty clad clit, effectively silencing you.

“W-Wait, Yara’s in her room.” You hiccuped, hips jerking forward as his thumb singled out your clit, rubbing against it.

“Oh, how rude of us. Should we go knock and ask if she wants to join?” Jungkook teased, eliciting a scoff from you.

“God, you’re so–”

Your mouth shut itself closed, biting back the moan that threatened to make its way out as Jungook sank his fingers into you.

“Fuck.” Jungkook muttered, preening in the way you felt. So wet. So tight. And all for him.

His eyes moved from the sight of his hand fucking itself into you to your profile. Your eyebrows were furrowed, face scrunching up whenever he curled his fingers up into you a certain way. He could see the way the muscles in your jaw clenched and unclenched, clearly holding back some of your more lewd sounds in fear that your roommate might hear.

He’d have to do this again whenever Yara wasn’t home. He’d love to hear the way you’d whimper his name.

“That feel good?”

Jungkook was beside himself, he knew he should be keeping it down but he couldn’t help it. He wanted to hear you– the way your voice would shake and stutter deliciously.

“So good.” You whined lowly, head turning to meet his eyes.

Jungkook was definitely too good at this. He had two fingers rocking into you skillfully, slowing down only to turn his attention back onto your throbbing clit. Your shorts and underwear felt damp, slick with your arousal and you knew you’d have to change the sheets underneath you.

“Can I, ah... can I touch you?” You asked through several uneven breaths. You felt the sudden need to touch him– to make him feel as good as he was making you feel. “Please.”

“So needy for my cock, huh? Even when I’m not about to fuck you, too.” He licked his lips, hand coming over his crotch to palm at it.

“Yeah. Yeah, go ahead, baby.”

Jungkook let himself relax back against the way, cock twitching in anticipation as you clumsily reached out to take his already hard cock from his pants.

And so that’s how the two of you found yourselves, hands down each other’s pants, voices hushed as you pleasured each other in secret like a pair of desperate teenagers.

Even as you both began to shake with stimulation, your hands didn’t stop, both of you set on getting each other off.

Jungkook felt so hot and heavy in your hand; you didn’t get the chance to fully take in his fucked out expressions last time but now that you were watching the way his jaw went slack and low, drawn-out groans fell from him, you couldn’t help but think he looked so attractive this way, hips rocking up to meet his fingers as you let yourself get off to the thought that you were making him feel this good.

Jungkook was in absolute bliss.

Your chest was rising and falling lightly, your bottom lip held hostage between your teeth innocently as your hand pumped his fat cock. He knew you were trying your hardest to stay quiet but the way your eyes were watery and small mews escaped you sporadically spurred him on, letting himself be noisier than you probably would have liked.

“You’re taking my fingers so well, baby. Making such a mess of your sheets. Fucking messy girl.” Jungkook cooed between shaky breaths of his own, obviously just as close to climax as you were.

Suddenly, a cry fell from your lips and the hand Jungkook had placed around yours to help in pumping his increasingly hot shaft quickly relocated itself to cover your mouth, catching the rest of your lewd noises as you finally came around his fingers.

“Atta girl. You did so well.” Jungkook praised, your eyes wet as you rode out the last few waves of your orgasm.

You were shaking; this orgasm had hit you hard and you didn’t know if you would ever get used to this feeling. You hoped not.

Jungkook pressed a kiss against your cheek affectionately and before you could give yourself a minute to even out your breathing, you pulled away from him, repositioning yourself between his knees.

You placed a tentative lick against the glistening tip of his cock, eyes locked on his as he continued to jerk himself off. He grunted, moving his prick closer towards your face as you let the flat of your tongue run up the length of him.

“Wanna taste you. Cum on my tongue, yeah?” You purred as you pulled your lips off his tip, a small pop sounding out.

Jungkook nearly choked, swallowing the sob of a response he nearly gave you. You were so fucking beyond hot like this. He hadn’t heard you speak so outwardly filthy before and all he could think about was how your words would sound if you were choking around his cock.

“Fuck, fuck, open your mouth.”

You obliged greedily as he tightened his grip around himself, his abdomen tightened and hand stilled, a hot white strip of cum landing on your tongue. Like the good girl Jungkook groaned out you were, you stayed open-mouthed in front of him obediently until he was finished.

Jungkook let out a shaky breath, tucking himself back into his pants as you moved back to take your place beside him, wiping at your mouth.

“Well. That was fun.” You grinned shyly, suddenly giddy.

“Mm.” Jungkook agreed, thumb coming up to wipe away your cheek, where some of his cum had found itself. Your mouth opened on its own accord, tongue sticking out for Jungkook to clean his thumb with. You didn’t particularly care for the taste but you enjoyed the way his eyes turned a shade darker as he watched you swallow his cum.

"I don’t think the contract mentioned orgasms.” Jungkook smirked as you released his thumb.

“I say we let it slide.” You shrugged, leaning into him casually.

“You think?”

“Totally. Think of it as... a bonding activity.” You joked, resting your chin on his shoulder, peering up through your lashes.

“Damn, we’re really committed to this fake dating thing, huh.”

You laughed in the way that you hated, but Jungkook loved; it was loud and abrupt, but it genuine, and it was you.

“What can I say, I’m a method actor.” You sighed dramatically, causing Jungkook to grin before pressing a kiss to your nose, simply because he liked the way it always seemed to make you smile.

I've finally finished the first set! It's the same kids again tho, lol. But next time will be never before seen characters! So I wanted to get everyone drawn in the Omniverse style so I could visualize it all properly and it also made for a good opportunity to tweak designs as needed. They're all heavily referenced from official art so I could get it perfect and it made for great practice too! Of course I added some personal touches to the art style too cuz if I didn't it would have bothered me too much, lol.

Anyway, below the cut are finally proper profiles for all the kids and some additional info as well!

M'kay, so before we get started on the kids' bios, it's important to specify this is an alternate universe. And I don't mean it's an AU of the Prime Dimension. This is quite literally another universe within the omniverse. It's a mostly untouched one that even Paradox, Eon, and Maltruant have never been to and therefore a lot of things are different while a lot of things are still the same tho. It's unofficially called the Feniverse cuz Fen is the main character, but it does have a more official name. I'm just, uh… not aware of what that name is yet, lol!

Anyway, the Ben in this dimension branches off from the development of Prime Ben. Anybody remember the fact that the very first Ben 10K episode said Ben became the way he did in the future cuz he killed Vilgax by ripping him to pieces? Yep! That's what this Ben did too! But obviously he doesn't end up exactly like that Ben 10K. But so this dimension's Ben is therefore officially labelled Slayer Ben since some people refer to him as 'The Vilgax Slayer'. And that experience did definitely screw him up pretty bad, which is why he's so different from both Prime and 10K.

So from left to right:

Name: Fenrick Fih Rook-Tennyson

Age: 13

Height: 5'1

Voice: Todd Haberkorn

Bio: Fen is Ben and Rook's son. He has always been known for being quiet, surprisingly wise for his age, and quite the troublemaker. In actuality, only two of these things are true. Fen is more calm than he seems and as a young child he wasn't much of a talker, giving people the perception that he's quiet. Unfortunately, Fen also has many great ideas that end up badly. However, his ideas always come from the desire to help someone or solve a problem, but he always gets caught when his plans fall apart, making it look like he causes trouble. Some people even accuse him of trouble he didn't start, not helping his reputation. And as the son of Ben 10 of all people, he tends to be held to higher expectations. His wisdom never ceases to amaze people either. Even Ben and Rook get surprised at the wisdom he recites, wondering where exactly he learned it all. Due to that, he tends to put up a fight whenever himself or someone else gets wronged. He especially defends his friends and fellow alien kids in town. Although his only true friends seem to consist of his childhood friend, Millie, and his cousin, Sven.

At the age of 13, Fen discovered his ability to transform into a couple dozen of Ben's aliens. He quickly aspired to become a hero like his parents, much to Ben's disapproval, who worries about his safety. Despite that, Fen wants to form a hero trio with Sven and Millie and become the next generation of heroes in the galaxy.

Developer's Notes:

Fen's almost always been the same since I first created him, with just a few design and character tweaks done to him. He used to have a talent for jewelry making but that was switched out for him being wise for his age. He was also a bit more generic as far as the upbeat and reckless young male protagonist with famous parents archetype goes, but he's been adjusted enough that he now stands out from that archetype. Or, at least I hope, lol. Also, funny thing to note, Fenrick is not a real name! The closest name there is is Fenwick and iirc, that's a last name! I considered changing it to Fenwick or even Fenick but Fenrick is too special to me. His, uh, unfortunate name even has an impact in-universe with him being embarrassed by it and some using it to make fun of him. Also in-universe, I chalk it up to Ben having a dumb moment by misremembering the name Fenwick and Rook not knowing any better to catch Ben's mistake. Also, if you think his hair style is stupid, good. That's the point. He wanted it like that when he was seven and Ben and Rook were like 'sure' and it's been like that ever since.

Name: Millicent

Age: 13

Height: 5'0

Voice: Jennifer Paz

Bio: Millie is Ester's daughter. Her biological father is a human who decided he didn't want to be a father and Antonio soon stepped up to fill the father role when he and Ester got married. She has been friends with Fen and Sven since they were all babies. Millie is the level-headed one of the group and has been noted as being oddly emotionless. Her tone of voice is almost always flat and she usually keeps a straight face when not looking nervous. She never intends to be rude, but she will bluntly say whatever comes to her mind to her peers. At the same time, she can be nervous about making bold decisions and hates being a part of any decision making. She either refuses to do anything, or apologizes profusely for making a decision even when nothing bad happens.

Due to being more human than Kraaho, Millie is perfectly capable of handling the temperatures of Bellwood. However, she is still a bit sensitive to cold temperatures and needs to bundle up more than others during the winter. She sadly cannot handle the heat in the Hot Spot for very long either. Much to Millie's dismay, she was not born with the Kraaho's stretching ability. No one can figure out why, but it's simply something she can't do. As a result, she considers herself a normal human and has resigned herself to the fact that 'normal' is simply all she will ever be. Despite this, she has taken up quite a big secret that contradicts her decision and expresses who she wishes she really was.

Developer's Notes:

Millie only ever had one design change with her outfit and slight adjustment to the way her hair works and she's been the same ever since. Since the beginning she was always calm and stoic and I've always worried that she doesn't have much of a presence or purpose, but now I feel like she plays off Fen and Sven well enough that she stands out thanks to them. I've always flipped back and forth between Fen and/or Millie having a crush on each other, but I've finally settled on them both just seeing each other as near and dear loyal friends. It ultimately works out better that way and doesn't cause conflict with Millie's personal story or Fen's real love interest(and the one other character with feelings for him). Her name also used to be Mina, but since I've now taken that as one of my own names, it felt really awkward to keep her as that. I used to have a habit of naming characters with names I wanted before realizing I could change my name in the future, lol.

Name: Sven Elijah Levin

Age: 12

Height: 4'8

Voice: Wally Wingert

Bio: Sven is Gwendolyn and Kevin's son and Jenny's older brother. Sven is a rather unfortunate boy. He is constantly terrified of everything to the point of running millions of 'bad ends' through his head. He can barely talk most of the time without being a stuttering mess and always thinks he's going to be in trouble for anything and everything he does. Everyone is certain he either has severe anxiety or paranoia, or likely both. Perhaps even more. Who knows. Sven tends to cling to his cousin, Fen, who he looks to for guidance and advice, most of which isn't anything Sven should actually be following. Because he is a grade below Fen and Millie, he's often left alone to deal with problems in his own classes, or really just panic about them. He does, however, have a close relationship with Zed and likes to be the one to take her out on walks in the afternoon. And not many people know it, but he's actually a pretty decent artist.

Even though he is an Osmosian thanks to being Kevin's son, no one knows what ability he may have. It doesn't really matter though, since he wants to stay out of any potential trouble that having powers could bring him. Regardless of that, he has an interest in magic thanks to Gwendolyn's expertise in it. He even sneaks peeks at her spellbook and the strange bag she keeps in her office that he can hear a voice coming from at night.

Developer's Notes:

Now Sven is a character whose personality has always been pretty much the same while his design was never consistent until reaching his current one. He was originally very anime looking and in a gaudy orange outfit that I regret even thinking about, lol. He looks much better in neutral colors. I guess there's not much to say on him though, which makes me worry he's a tad unremarkable, but perhaps it's just since I'm leaving out the things about him that are better left discovering on your own… if I ever get to finishing that fic that is… ahaha.

Name: Saki Boulais

Age: 13

Height: 4'11

Voice: Stephanie Sheh

Bio: Julie and Hervé's daughter, one of the more popular girls in school, and the most deceptive in town. Saki has gone her whole life, since the first time she told a successful lie, tricking people into thinking she's a completely innocent little girl who's never done anything wrong. This allows her to get away with anything she wants, and she especially enjoys getting Fen in trouble when they butt heads with each other. The two have even been enemies since they first met at age three and Saki pulled Fen's tail, he pulled her hair in return, and she managed to get away with claiming he started it. Their feud has even turned into murderous intent, which Saki refuses to hide.

On a lighter note, Saki always has the company of her two best friends, Rachel and Diane, who will gladly join her in her tormenting of others. Saki even greatly admires the most popular girl in school, Fiona, and whoever the mysterious new hero girl, Miracle-M, is.

Developer's Notes:

Yes, Saki was always meant to be That Bitch in the cast. I feel like it's unrealistic to have all next gen kids be friends and get along with each other. It's perfectly believable to have some of them dislike, and in Saki and Fen's case, even hate each other. It makes it more interesting with them being Ben and Julie's kids respectively too. Adds good drama, lol. But anyway, really the only thing that's changed about Saki is her hairstyle and some other slight design tweaks like her necklace, shorts, and shoes. I also just recently changed her colors from purple and blue-ish purple to just blue so that isn't not all three girls here wearing purple. She also looks better in blue and it contrasts nicely with Julie's pink imo. I suppose I do worry about her being disliked since she's so antagonistic and with her being Julie's daughter, I really hope her character doesn't send the wrong message since I genuinely love Julie a lot. It really is just For The Drama Of It All. I think it's really fun to watch her go into full 'Murder Fen' mode too. Very fun to write, lol. Oh right, also Boulais is my headcanon last name for Herve. I just wanted her to have his last name but he doesn’t have one! So I had to pick one for myself.

Name: Jennifer Elizabeth Levin

Age: 10

Height: 4'6

Voice: Brina Palencia

Bio: Jenny is Gwendolyn and Kevin's daughter and Sven's younger sister. She is surprisingly serious and stoic for her age. She gets annoyed by her family's constant 'abnormal' status and wishes everyone could just act normal with no weird events happening. She throws herself into school work as a means to keep herself out of it and tries to keep her personal life at school with friends far away from her life involving family. She seems to have a quick temper, but really she just acts that way to get what she wants since she knows it works and in the hopes that she can use it as an opportunity to vent her frustrations. She hates getting involved in her brother and cousin Fen's antics, but sometimes her no nonsense attitude is needed to resolve a situation. She has a strange obsession with eating bread, finding it the perfect food and almost always exclusively eating something with bread involved. Gwendolyn definitely worries about her diet, but Kevin finds it harmless.

She may not have the spark like her mother, but she doesn't dare confess that her status as an Osmosian became very apparent just recently. As a result, she has a stash of broken objects stuffed under her bed and cracked floorboards that she covers with her rug.

Developer's Notes:

Jenny went through a decent redesign. Character wise I feel like I still don't have some things etched in stone for her as I still haven't gotten to the point in my writing where she does anything of interest. She could honestly probably end up pretty different from her bio here if I'm not careful, lol. The characters write themselves as they say after all! But I definitely prefer the newer Jenny compared to the previous way I envisioned her character, which was designed to fit a character type I actually hate just cuz I felt it worked for her. Thankfully I can avoid it tho with the big overhaul I did after returning to these characters. And I do like Jenny cuz I like writing her dialogue, but it still feels like her character is still that of a person I would not wanna be around, lol.

Name: Bevel Tennyson

Age: 20

Height: 5'9

Voice: Dee Bradley Baker/Yuri Lowenthal

Bio: Bevel is the youngest of the Big Chill offspring born twenty years ago. They were in an accident involving a passing spaceship on their way to Kylmyys that damaged their right wing to the point they could no longer fly. It's suspected the wing has severe nerve damage, making Bevel unable to unfold it as well. Their siblings helped them make it the rest of the way to Kylmyys, but over the years, the dangers of Kylmyys left the siblings with only Bevel and the eldest two, Emboss and Curve, remaining. As they got older, Bevel could never forget their only memory of their parent, who the others didn't remember. A desire to reunite with their parent caused Bevel to make the lone decision to explore the universe in search of their parent.

Bevel is a very cheerful and sweet person, but their secluded upbringing and lack of knowledge about Earth makes them very naive. They will believe anything they are told and have a very black and white moral view due to not understanding nuance. They have strange habits that appear unnatural in their attempt to act human and have an intense craving for Earth candy. They have also taken up being a mercenary to get by after leaving Kylmyys and once they join the Tennyson family, Rook suggests they use the skills they've picked up to become a Plumber, but that's an idea Ben isn't fully onboard with.

Developer's Notes:

Right off the bat I want to shout out that his old human design used to keep the Necrofriggian antennae. I still think it's a cute design even tho it wasn't canon compliant with the antennae. The only things that have changed about him too are just that, his hair style, and his shoes. Plus I stuck bunny ears on his hoodie recently as a shout out to those antennae he used to have. Otherwise he's always been the same. And I guess I haven't explained why he has a human form, but that's also an answer to discover later. I didn't draw his Necrofriggian form tho cuz we should all know what the UAF design looks like(and yes I am screwing with art style difference bullshit cuz OV Big Chill is not real and you cannot convince me otherwise). And I also just realized his pronouns aren't matching up in this section so I should add his official pronouns are he/they, but characters refer to him by he/him and narration uses they/them. He is still a Necrofriggian and therefore doesn't do the whole gender thing after all. Which is why he's fine with anyone viewing him as whatever they want to too. He just goes with it. That's also why he doesn't get what's weird about him calling Ben 'Mother' after he learned the word, lol.

Quarantine 5

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader (online)

A/N: Heya guys! Here’s part 5, sorry it’s been a little bit. I had some trouble with this one because I really just wanted to get to part 6 LOL. Anyway, i hope you enjoy it! -T

Warnings: Flirting, language, quarantine, feels, fluff

The next morning, a string of texts wakes you.

It’s J, letting you know his friend will be by in a couple of hours to install your security system and bring by groceries.

He tells you to double check who’s on the other side of the door before opening it, and informs you that his friend's name is Sam.

Seems simple enough.

You get dressed, deciding to wear something a little nicer than the pajamas you’d been wearing lately. Makeup finds its way to your face and you even manage to brush your hair.

You could at least make yourself look human today, especially since you didn’t know how good of friends J and Sam were.. what if he went right back and told J you looked like you hadn’t bathed in weeks?

That wouldn’t be good for your blossoming relationship…. friendship? Whatever it was.

You’re getting yourself a glass of water when someone knocks at your door.

The couch had been moved back to its original position, and you look through the spyhole on your door to find a man standing there in a doctors mask with a backpack and bags of groceries in hand.

“Can I help you?” You ask through the door.

He makes eye contact with you through the spyhole. “I’m Sam, J’s friend. I’m here to install the security system for you?”

That was convincing enough for you. Opening the door, you offer a small smile. “Hi.. I’m uh.. I’m Clair.”

You can’t tell if he’s smiling through the mask, but he makes his way inside and sets the bags on the floor.

“You mind if I take this off now? I promise I’m not sick.” He motions to the mask and you laugh softly. “No, go ahead. It’s fine. Just uh.. Stay six feet away.”

He removes his mask with a sigh of relief before flashing a pearly smile at you, “I’m Sam. Nice to officially meet you.” He looks familiar for a split second, but you convince yourself you’re merely imagining it.

Sam gets right to work with the install, and you take that time to put away the food and wine he’s brought. It’s too much for just you, it’ll last you months, but with everything that’s going on, you don’t know if you’ll even be ready to leave the house again anytime soon.

You make sure to shoot J a text telling him thank you.

Sam puts a device on each window and in each doorway of your apartment. A keypad is put right by your front door, and a panic button right beside your bed. He helps you set up a 4 digit pin that you’ll need to enter any time you come or go, and shows you how to set the alarm when you go to sleep at night. It’s so simple, but so secure.

J was right. It made you feel better. Safer.

Once everything is completely set up, he pulls a piece of paper from his back pocket and hands it to you. It’s an order form. For your computer and television. You’d made the decision to not let him replace your tablet. He was already doing too much.

“Oh..” is all you can manage to say as you look it over.

Sam chuckles in return, “He um.. he really cares about you, you know..”

Meeting his eyes, you risk asking him a personal question, “What’s your opinion in all of this..? How he feels about me?”

He looks taken back for a moment, but smiles fondly before he answers. “I’ve known him for awhile now, and.. He’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him when he’s talking to you.”

You can’t help but smile at that knowledge.

“And Clair?”

You meet his gaze one more time.

“I know it’s probably weird for you, that he wants to take care of all of this for you, but.. let him. He’s a good man. He doesn’t have any ulterior motives. He just.. when he cares about someone, he’s all in.”

Your heart warms at his words and you nod slowly.

He smiles again before picking up his backpack and heading for the door.

“Hey Sam?”

He turns to you just before he’s out the door.

“Tell J I said hi.”

He chuckles and shakes his head, “Will do… and don’t tell him what I said about him being a good man and all that… he’ll never let me live it down.”

HIM

I know as soon as the system is installed because a crude outline of her apartment appears on my computer screen.

I set alerts to let me know anytime someone approaches the vicinity, when she leaves and when she sets the alarm for the evening. If she presses the panic button, it alerts the authorities first and then me.

I have to take every precaution to keep her safe.

I’m closing the window on my computer when Sam returns home. I hear him kick his shoes off and set his bag down before heading straight for the shower. He pokes his head in my room on his way there. “System is installed, also.. damn she is way out of your league.”

His observation makes my heart rate increase. “Wait, what? What does that mean?”

He laughs and shakes his head, leaving it at that as he continues on his way.

I find myself suddenly jealous that he’s gotten to see her with his own eyes and I haven’t.

“You could at least describe her for me!” I call after him, to which he just cackles.

My best friend is an asshole.

HER

You’re sitting on the couch watching random videos on your phone when a new message comes through from J.

[Sarge:] Everything go smooth? :)

You’re sure he already knows the answer, and you’re positive that Sam already told him all about you, but you decide to humor him anyway.

[clairv0yant:] Yes. :) Thank you again for everything.. I really appreciate you. I checked the tracking on the form that he gave me and everything should be here by the end of next week.

[Sarge:] Doll, I promise you don’t have to thank me. I’m happy to be able to help you out. :)

[Sarge:] It will be strange not gaming with you every night for a while, but.. We’ll just have to find another way to spend time together.

His words only cause the smile on your face to grow. He’s so sweet. So considerate. So genuine and unfathomably selfless. You weren’t sure what you’d done to earn the affections of such an amazing person.

[Sarge:] By that I mean.. expect phone calls every night ;)

[clairv0yant:] That sounds perfect to me. :P

xxx

You spent more time on the phone with J over the next week and a half than you’d ever spent in your life. Constantly exchanging texts and making phone calls, but never once asking the other for a photo. Not that you weren’t curious, because you surely were, but you were afraid of what he expected you to be like. Did he already have an image of you in his head? An ideal Clair?

You’d tried to picture him several times, but failed at each attempt. He still remained a mystery to you.

When your new tech finally arrives, you nearly jump out of your skin with joy. You make sure to lysol the holy hell out of the shipping boxes before touching them, and once the product inside is removed and placed in the safety of your apartment, the useless cardboard goes into the recycle bin outside.

It takes you an hour and 45 minutes to get everything set up, but of course as soon as you’ve finished, J is insistent about playing.

It’d been so long, there was no way you were denying him.

You missed it just as much as he did.

“You know what I miss most?” You speak into your mic, keeping your eyes trained on the battle scene happening on the screen before you.

J hums a soft, “hmmm?” in response, trying to keep his focus too.

“Mexican food.”

He can’t help but let out a bark of laughter, obviously shocked at your most missed thing while locked away.

“Mexican food? Really?”

It’s your turn to hum a soft, “Mmmhm”.

He’s quiet for a few moments except for the sound of his keyboard clacking as he fights, determined to win this round.

When the word Victory appears on your screen, he speaks again.

“You know I um..” He pauses, and you can feel his anxiety seeping through the internet connection. “Nevermind, heh..”

“What is it?” The first emotion you feel is concern. What could he not feel comfortable telling you?

“Promise you won’t just laugh at me?”

That’s a promise you know you’ll be able to keep. “Of course, J. What’s up?”

There's a bit of silence on his end, and then you swear you hear his adam's apple bob in his throat in a gulp for courage. “When all of this is over, I.. I’d really like to take you out on a date..”

You’re stunned into silence, thankful that a new game has yet to start.

He must take the quiet as a negative response, because he immediately backtracks.

“I-I mean, that’s stupid right? You wouldn’t go on a date with some guy you met online.. Hell, I could be some cree--”

“I would love to.” You cut him off before he can ramble on too much.

“You-really?” You can hear the smile in his voice and it brings an even bigger smile to yours.

“But only if it’s mexican food.”

He lets out a soft chuckle, the rumbling of the sound making your heart flutter.

“I wish..” He stops himself again, letting out a little sigh, “I wish I knew when that would be though.. When all of this will be over.. I just.. I really want to spend time with you, Clair.”

A new match begins in the game, but you’re so distracted by his confession that you almost miss your window to pick your character.

“We’re spending time together right now, aren’t we?” You joke, but there’s a falter to your voice, a doubt. You know what he really means.

“You know what I mean, I.. I want to be there, with you.”

It’s your turn to exhale a sigh.

“I know what you mean..” A funny image comes to your head, and you find it slipping from your tongue before you can stop yourself. “What would a quarantine date consist of anyway? You sitting on the opposite side of my front door drinking beer, while I sit inside drinking wine?”

He’s silent.

Not even a laugh.

It’s a whole two minutes before he speaks again.

Hello! I’ve read your Klaus fics and I absolutely love them! I was thinking, do you think I could request Y/N being fed up with Klaus and this time she doesn’t take him back. She found herself a new lover that treats her right and who she loves very much?

Words: 1.4k a/n: Decided to make this a sort of alternate non canon ending to Only When You’re Lonely. Prepare to hurt. Though is it fair of me to base reader’s new love interest off another Robert Sheehan character? because it makes me feel better anyway. Also catch me using parallels to current angst in Burning Out lol.

——

The day Klaus had waltzed back into your life with a coffee and some sweet words, you really thought you’d be able to stay just friends for once, but you soon found that keeping him at arm’s length was much harder than you’d ever anticipated. Especially when he seemed hellbent on winning you back.

Of course, you knew what he was doing -- you knew Klaus better than anyone and it didn’t help that he was trying so damn hard.

Why couldn’t he try this hard all the time if he cares so much, a tiny voice in your head asked and as much as you hated to admit it, it had a point.

However, the harder he tried and the longer this went on, the more torn you felt. Sean was a good guy -- one of the best you’d met in a long while and let’s face it, he didn’t come with the baggage that Klaus did.

You loved Klaus, you knew you probably always would, but you didn’t know how many more times your heart could take him leaving, to not committing when you gave him everything and you knew Sean could see it, the hesitation in your gaze whenever Klaus was around and you knew it wasn’t fair to him.

For once you found a keeper and you were going to drive him away because you couldn’t get over your ex -- hell, you couldn’t even technically call Klaus that, seeing as you’d never actually officially dated.

It was the night Klaus showed up at your show and you saw him in the crowd with Sean that you knew something wasn’t right, and as you pushed your way to them at the bar, your stomach prickled anxiously.

Covering your unease with a bright smile you embraced Klaus, feeling him melt in your arms as if he never wanted to leave before you pulled away to brush a kiss to Sean’s cheek, fitting yourself to his side, his arm wrapped rather possessively around you and you wondered what they’d talked about while you’d been on stage. The tense look on Sean’s face said it hasn’t been pleasant.

At his urging you bade Klaus goodnight and followed Sean out to his car outside. “[y/n],’ he began in a quiet voice as he got behind the wheel and you flinched, preparing to get dumped. Because who were you fooling? You knew this moment had been coming sooner or later the moment you’d let Klaus back in.

“Why are you letting him do this to you?”

Wait, what? Sean’s words took you aback and you blinked at him for a moment.

“Do… what?” you asked, though he knew you knew what he meant.

“Klaus,” he answered, filling the name with scorn. “Why are you letting him manipulate you?” he asked sadly, his eyes swinging to you, his lilting voice cracking. “I care about you [y/n], hell, I think I might even love you, and it’s killing me to watch this. Can’t you see he’s taking advantage of your feelings for him? And what then?” he asked, taking a shuddering breath, “... leave you again when it gets too hard? You deserve more than that.”

Love? Had Sean just said he loved you?

A strange combination of elation and fear filled you. As much as you hated it, you knew he was right. How many times would Klaus enter your bed, your heart, your life, only to leave again without warning? How many times would you let him? You couldn’t keep doing this.

You didn’t want to keep wondering if the man you loved would still be there the next morning. You wanted more and Sean was offering you that.

“Sean, I -- you’re right,” you said, trying to keep the tremor from your voice. “I deserve more,” you murmured, “and you’ve been nothing but sweet, and supportive, and everything I’ve ever wanted, and I want to be with you,” you admitted, your eyes finding his.

“Did you mean it when you said you loved me?” you asked in a tiny voice and a small smile crossed his face, hesitant, but full of affection.

“I did,” he answered, reaching across the center console to take your hand in his, his thumb lightly brushing over your skin. “You have to promise me, though,” he murmured, his smile faltering, “that I’m not just… a replacement. Because I can’t… I won’t be that. I don’t just want to be the next best thing.”

Wishing there was nothing between you at that moment, you reached across to him, caressing the side of his face, your heart giving a thrill as he leaned into your touch.

“I promise,” you insisted, your heart swelling and breaking all at once, “I love you for you.”

Sean’s dazzling smile widened and you found yourself smiling as well, despite the tears running down your cheeks.

——

It was late the next afternoon when you woke, crawling out of Sean’s bed, despite his protests, telling him there was something you needed to take care of first.

With a shaky breath you dialed Klaus’s number, hoping he still had minutes on his phone. It would’ve been easier to simply ghost him, in fact, that’s probably what he would’ve done to you, you thought bitterly, but before you could chicken out he’d answered the phone.

“[y/n]!” he answered brightly, as if he’d been expecting your call and your stomach knotted further.

“Hey, Klaus…” you replied, trying to keep your voice even. “Uhm, can we meet somewhere?” you asked, scrubbing the heel of you palm against your eye to keep the tears from falling, unable to stop your sniffle.

“What--what’s wrong?” Klaus asked quickly.

Fuck.

“Uhm, I… I just need to talk to you. Meet me at the square in a half hour?” you asked and he agreed before you quickly hung up, heaving a shaky breath and getting up to get dressed.

——

Waiting in the square for him, you took a drag off your cigarette, wishing you had a drink to take the edge off further.

It wasn’t like Klaus was a bad guy, in fact, he was rather sweet, funny, smart -- he just had some flaws, and as much as you wanted him to be there for you, he couldn’t be and you couldn’t keep hurting yourself waiting for him to be.

At least that’s what you kept telling yourself.

When you saw him approach, an uneasy expression on his face, you dropped the cigarette and crushed it out underfoot, scooting over so he could take the spot on the bench next to you.

“[y/n], what’s wrong?” he asked again, his eyes searching yours.

Rip it off like a bandaid. Just get it over with.

“Klaus, I--”

“Did that bastard break up with you?” he asked before you could finish, getting fired up. “That asshole, I knew he was no good for you!”

“No, Klaus, he didn’t break up with me,” you exclaimed and he blinked at you in surprise, kohl darkened eyes going wide.

“So… what are you saying?” he asked, his voice going quiet.

“I--I’m saying that I’m staying with him. I really…” you paused, taking a deep breath. “I think I love him, Klaus.”

“Oh,” was all he could say and the pain in his eyes was almost too much to look at.

“I know what you’ve been trying to do,” you said, pressing on, needing to get it out. “And you will always be my closest and most trusted friend, Klaus. Nothing could ever change that, but I want more than you can give. I’m sorry.”

For a long moment neither of you spoke and you were afraid to look over at him, afraid it would break you. But when Klaus slipped his hand in yours your head snapped up to find him smiling softly -- a sad bittersweet smile, but the way he squeezed your hand was reassuring.

“No, I--I get that,” he murmured, “and hey, I might not like the guy, but if he makes you happy…” Klaus trailed off, his grin slipping as his voice cracked, but he quickly bounced back, though you knew it was for your benefit.

“Yeah, yeah, and you know me, I’ll be fine,” he replied, though you were doubtful. “Besides, we… we’ll always be thick as thieves, you and I. Like you said, nothing’ll ever change that, we’ll just be having less sex.”

“Klaus…” you murmured and he shook his head slightly, standing, your hand slipping from his.

“Don’t wanna keep him waiting,” he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I’ll see ya around, [y/n].”

As you watched him walk away, though your heart was hurting, a sense of relief filled you and you pulled out your phone, texting Sean that you’d be home soon.

When I know the time is right for me--An AFTG Headcanon

This is for @thebashfulpoet for the @aftgexchange! I wanted to make this a full fic but with life I knew I couldnt do it justice, so have a 1.4k long headcanon soulmate AU! I really hope you enjoy it! <3 (also, i deffo stole the title from “I Have A Dream” by ABBA which is REALLY funny once u read it, trust me)

Imagine a soulmate AU where you share dreams as long as you are both asleep and dreaming at the same time

The first time Andrew and Neil meet it's when they are little kids,around 6 or 7. Neil is sitting on a swing set in a park and Andrew just shows up and is like “what are you doing?” and Neil just goes “swingin” and Andrew gets so upset at this weird auburn haired boy that he wakes himself up out of sheer spite.

That's pretty much how it goes over the next few years.

They meet in dreams and have short conversations but both of them kind of refuse to talk about themselves, so they spend a lot of time just sitting in the park swinging together. They don't exchange names even and when they talk, it's only about the small things. If pressed, Andrew might admit that it isn't terrible.

One night, a few years after their first dream meeting, Neil mentions Exy. Andrew had only heard of it once before but the other boy knows a lot about it so Andrew just lets him talk and talk about it until they both wake up. It's……..nice to listen to Neil talk. Andrew doesn't hate it.

That was the last time they met in their dreams for a long time.

Neil stopped dreaming for the most part when he and his mother were on the run. It was too stressful and very rarely did he ever sleep deeply enough to dream. Andrew was getting shuffled between homes and then, once he started living with the Spears, he stopped sleeping all together.

It had been so long that when they saw each other, they didn't even recognize each other. How could you recognize someone when the last time you saw them was when you were a little kid? Besides, Andrew has essentially sworn off soulmates. He doesn't see the point in them, not anymore.

Even after Neil moves to Palmetto, he doesn't dream. He’s too keyed up, too on guard to sleep well and at this point, soulmates and dreams are the last thing on his mind. He doesn't even really think about them at all until Nicky brings it up during practice and mentions the fact that he’s soulmates with Erik and how Dan and Matt are soulmates and wondered if Neil knew anything about his soulmate and Neil just kind of shrugs and says that he hasn't really dreamt since he was a little kid. Yet another instance of Neil breaking the Foxes hearts

A few days later, after their first official game of the season, Neil and Andrew are both so tired and worn out from the game that they dream again. It's the same park and swing set from when they were small . Andrew sees Neil and he once again gets so Angry that he wakes himself up out of spite.

The next day is Kathy’s show and when they get on the bus, Andrew’s eyes bore into Neil’s back but Neil just ignores it until they eventually drift away.

They don't talk about it, not yet.

After Seth’s death, they both stop dreaming again.

It fluctuates like that throughout the rest of the school year, up until winter break. The meds they give Andrew at Easthaven puts him in such a deep sleep that he has no choice but to dream but they morph all of his dreams into nightmares. When Neil finally gets back to Palmetto, he dreams for the first time while sleeping on Wymack’s couch. The dream they share there is…….strange. The park that they meet at is morphed and shifted into something weird and horrible but Neil and Andrew are untouched. And for the first time, Neil and Andrew talk about it. Neil doesn't have his bruises but even in the dream his hair is auburn and his eyes are blue. Andrew asks him why and Neil skirts around explaining exactly why but he does ask if Andrew is safe. Andrew avoids answering that question but they both know that he won't be truly safe for a while longer, until he's back with Neil and the rest of the Foxes.

The next time they dream together is when Andrew gets back from Easthaven. It comes after the iconic pipedream conversation and Andrew tries to point out that Neil is literally a dream to him. Neil steals the cigarette that Andrew is smoking out of his hand and they are both startled by the fact that they can touch in the dreams.

Their rooftop conversations slowly fade into dream conversations. They sit on the swing in the dream and talk as they dream, along with staying up on the rooftop (when do these fuckers actually rest?)

Andrew tells Neil about his fear of heights. That night, in exchange, Neil explains why they are always in a park in their dreams “It was my safe space as a child. No parents to hurt you in public at a park. And I liked swinging.”

From there, things continue as canon says (i rlly like canon compliant AU’s i'm so sorry lol)

Up until---- Neil’s suddenly kidnapped.

He's taken and tortured and it's nasty but when he is drugged and forced to fall asleep, something strange happens. He dreams.

Meanwhile, Andrew freaks out when he cannot find Neil and he eventually tries to strangle Kevin. After Andrew gets calm down and the Foxes begin the trek to various hospitals to find everyone else, Andrew gets in idea.

He goes to sleep in the back of the bus and as he falls asleep, he gets as close to praying as someone like Andrew can. He falls asleep and the miraculous happens. He dreams.

In the dream, Neil doesn't yet have the scars Lola gave him but he still manages to look shitty. Immediately upon seeing him, Andrew asks Neil where he is and Neil answers as truthfully as he can but he knows what's going to happen next. He finally tells Andrew the truth, the full truth. And Neil is as happy as he can be because he gets to tell Andrew goodbye this time. A true and real goodbye and it's heartbreaking. Andrew refuses the goodbye and promises Neil that he’ll see him again.

Neil doesn't believe him but he smiles and they kiss for what feels like the last time. Neil wakes up mid-kiss and Andrew is left holding nothing but air.

Andrew wakes up and runs to explain to Wymack where Neil is. At this point they have picked up all of the other Foxes from the ER and this, THIS is where the Foxes find out that Neil and Andrew are soulmates </3 (oof)

Wymack calls the cops, who in turn tip off the FBI and confirms what the FBI and the Hatfords already kinda knew. But this time, Stuart knows going in that Neil is there and is able to get there sooner. They still have to go through with the plan they do in the book but they got there just a little bit sooner and was able to make it so Neil didn't get detoured straight through the FBI.

They have their reunion in the hospital instead and it's a funny sight, all of these Exy players jammed into a single hospital room, trying desperately to see this little fucker. Andrew pushes himself in first and Andrew tears Neil a new one for trying to really say goodbye to him via dreams and just clutches him tightly. Neil apologizes again for that and promises to never do it again.

The FBI still tries to get Neil to join Witness Protection but they don't have much of a leg to stand on because Neil just tells them that his soulmate will find him. They let him change his name and they take his statement and story, but he gets to leave with the Foxes. He gets to go home with them.

After that, things stick with the rest of TKM. Eventually, when Andrew graduates and goes on to play professionally and then Neil follows and they are forced to go long distance, they find solitude in their dreams and they spend their nights and midday naps together in dreamland.

And even when they are finally able to live together, they still dream together.

prince!soonyoung

genre: fluff, a little funny if you squint your eyes, prince au

word count: 1918

warnings: suggestive, but it’s nothing explicit

a/n: here i come with yet another prince au, one of my favorites bc of how the story goes although i still think it could be a lot better

with everything that’s going on these i also wanna remind everyone to always wash your hands thoroughly, stay home and/only go out when it’s necessary, if you can’t stay home because of your job, please be extra careful, protect yourselves and those around you 💖

● prince soonyoung

● he was living his best life

● bothering prince jihoon every other day

● also to see jihoon’s law adviser

● sometimes going to see prince seungkwan and prince seokmin

● almost never in his own kingdom

● “have you seen the prince?” all over the palace

● all the princes around him seemed to be forced into marriage but ended up finding someone they loved to marry

● prince soonyoung had never thought about his future as a husband and king, seeing as his parents never mentioned a bride to him

● he had never even heard the staff whisper about it

● usually if there was something important to know he could easily find out through the staff’s incessant gossiping

● he had found out about some of his surprises this way

● but nothing ever regarding his non-existent love life

● except for some people saying he was old enough to find himself a bride

● (he didn’t really see the point of it since he wouldn’t be crowned king until his father died, and thank god, his father was very much healthy)

● so imagine his surprise

● when he came home one day from prince jihoon’s kingdom and found you

● he wondered who you were

● you couldn’t be staff because you dressed too nicely

● and you couldn’t be daughter of a duke or of an official because of the colors you wore

● “why is it so hard for your staff to keep you in place?”

● “you really shouldn’t be going around so much in other princes’ kingdoms”

● “a princess?”

● he thought that one out loud

● you smiled and nodded, “princess y/n”

● but why tf was a princess in his palace

● “we should dive straight into wedding preparations, we don’t have much time”

● WEDDING????

● prince soonyoung had thought before about how he would react when his parents told him that it was time for him to find someone to marry

● whether they’d give him a choice of bride, or just force someone on him

● "a wedding? when????"

● "next week"

● what he most definitely did not expect was to find out he was getting married within days of meeting his bride

● ran to find his parents for an explanation

● they didn’t have one

● the king and queen encouraged him to spend all of his free time with you to get to know you

● which was an epic failure

● seeing as our dearest prince soonyoung liked to spent his time out of his own kingdom

● you did the only thing you could do and followed him everywhere to try

● if you can’t beat em, join em, they said

● you ended up leaving the entirety of the wedding preparations to the staff so you could follow soonyoung and try to get to know him as much as you could

● which, wasn’t difficult at all, he seemed comfortable around you and had opened up to you pretty quickly

● “shouldn’t we have gone on dates before getting married?”

● loved to joke around

● it was harmless and cute

● somehow, sometime before the wedding, he had become so much more open to you that you felt like you’d known each other for more than 5 days lmao

● soonyoung was a simple man

● the fact that you followed him everywhere, yet gave him space, kinda made his heart go wild

● he thought it was cute that you tried so hard to convince him to stay home, even though you were with him in another kingdom

● also found it funny because it always failed

● luckily for you when they said you’d get married in 7 days after meeting each other, it meant the festivities would start there

● so like day 1 for guests to arrive

● some princes from the closest kingdoms were invited and they were so shocked that soonyoung was gonna get married all of a sudden lmao

● day 2 was for the press conference, to announce the engagement and marriage

● day 3 was for the engagement party

● which was so weird for both of you because suddenly you were engaged and it felt more real than it did at first

● at some point soonyoung had to stay in place

● day 4 was for the rest of the royal guests to arrive while the royal families had a feast for dinner

● and then came the wedding

● soonyoung was very calm about this

● he trusted his parents to have chosen the right fit for him and the kingdom

● and you had grown on him quite fast

● you had your first official kiss at the wedding

● which made things so awkward for both of you

● almost like best friends suddenly having to kiss and making the friendship awkward

● except you had known each other for like less than two weeks

● but if only that was the worst of it lmao

● because after the part where everyone’s like wooo newly weds

● his parents tell you that you have to consume the marriage

● like right away

● otherwise it gives a timetable to get the marriage annulled and well

● the goal here is for you to stay married

● “wait what?”

● “WHY HASN’T ANYONE TOLD ME THIS? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?”

● it’s a bit hush-hush in the family, only the royal family knows about it

● so like, it’s not even public knowledge

● so now things are even more awkward than they were after the kiss

● because you now have to have sex with your husband whom you have met like 12 days ago

● cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool

● the actual worst part of it is having to have someone make sure the two of you consume your marriage

● which used to be done by someone peeping

● but now it’s a medical procedure after

● and then of course you have to go back to the after party

● prince soonyoung tried his best to make things light hearted

● and fun

● despite the absolute awkwardness

● “just pretend we’ve known each other for years”

● “that’s not very hard, you opened up to me so fast that i actually thought we were best friends”

● “okay then uh, pretend we’ve been in love for years then”

● strangely it worked a little better

● the whole thing was still very much embarrassing and if none of you ever mentioned it again it would be too soon

● simultaneously the best and worst experience of your entire life

● (over time you learned to love those moments in bed with him but that’s because you ended up falling in love lol)

● getting dressed was soooo awkward and the room was so silent

● you asked if the test was really necessary and if they couldn’t just take your word for it

● you tried

● soonyoung had gone to change for the after party

● when your test was over you went to change and went back to party

● but soonyoung had waited for you outside of your chambers

● yeet

● the party had just begun and you had to make an entrance as... well...the future king and queen

● prince soonyoung confides a lot in prince jihoon even though jihoon only listens to half of the things he says

● so when soonyoung gets the chance to be away from you for a second and is with jihoon

● he mentioned the bedding ceremony

● jihoon did a double take

● one because “a what now?”

● and two because “why the fuck are you telling me this?”

● and then soonyoung can’t find you anymore lmao

● you’re just avoiding him for the time being

● because well, you met days ago and just had sex hours after getting married

● will you ever not think about how awkward that was?

● no

● with that said once soonyoung realized he couldn’t find you anywhere, he almost alerted the guards

● while trying to hide you spotted who you were told was prince seungkwan’s wife

● you decided you had nothing to lose and asking a prince’s wife advice/comparing experiences would probably make you feel better/less weird

● so after talking a little bit

● and after she clearly saw how nervous you were

● you asked if you could ask a personal question

● more like a few personal questions

● so you asked about her and seungkwan’s first time (not in details)

● also asking if she’d felt weird or awkward or nervous after

● she answered with no problem and asked why you wanted to know in return

● yeet yeet

● so you told her about the bedding ceremony and having met soonyoung days ago

● if that hadn’t just happened to you, you probably would’ve laughed at her reaction

● but it had, so you didn’t

● “is that why you’re asking me? because you feel nervous, weird and awkward?”

● “i guess it’s normal... i mean you’ve only met recently and all of this was forced on you, but i wouldn’t worry too much about it”

● she kept giving you words of encouragement

● and that’s around when soonyoung found you

● “hey i couldn’t find you anywhere i was starting to get seriously worried”

● seungkwan’s wife left you and you realized you’d been kinda secluded and hidden from the rest of the party

● “we haven’t talked since...and yeah...i didn’t get to ask if you were okay?”

● “not exactly the time and place to talk, but i am, i’m okay”

● “even...?”

● he didn’t need to finish because you knew what he meant

● you kinda wished he hadn’t mentioned it, even implicitly

● you nodded and he stared at you

● “you sure you’re okay? your face is turning red”

● you hated how he could make you so flustered without explicitly saying anything

● like nothing had happened

● and your face was burning in embarrassment

● and he was just making it worse

● “are you? we just got married and had sex”

● okay maybe you shouldn’t have blurted it out, out of frustration because it made you more embarrassed saying it out loud

● buuut, maybe his reaction had been worth it

● because now it was his turn to be flustered

● it made you feel a tiny bit better

● he simply nodded in response

● and of course, for it to be funnier to you, you used his own words on him

● “you sure you’re okay? your face is turning red”

● little gap where he just stared at you

● “woah, you’re shameless”

● “I’M SHAMELESS?? YOU’RE THE ONE WHO ˢᵃⁱᵈ ⁱ ᶠᵉˡᵗ ᵍᵒᵒᵈ”

● the way you lowered the volume of your voice almost made him laugh

● but you were becoming infuriating

● “WOAH! i can’t believe you had to mention that right now as if you hadn’t told me to not stop”

● there was another gap and then suddenly the two of you burst out laughing

● “this marriage is definitely gonna be okay”

● and you couldn’t disagree

● by laughing it off, the nervousness seemed to lift off your shoulders

● so you guessed you would indeed be okay

● as long as you had prince soonyoung by your side

● and as long as he had you by his

● years from then you both found it so funny

● the next time you got intimate, you called it your first time, saying the bedding ceremony didn’t count lmao

● almost like trying to erase it from history

● you did consider removing bedding ceremonies from being a requirement

● you also promised yourselves to not introduce your child to their partner a week before having to get married

● so either introduce them as teens so they could grow together or giving your child time and opportunities to find someone

● it might have worked for you and prince soonyoung but there was no guarantee that it would work again

Unforeseen Chasm (Part 45)

Prompt: Two sisters fall for men that are absolute enemies. The love they have could tear all of them apart, or it could bring them together.

Word Count:4866

Warnings: fluff its a happy day for the reader’s bff! loki gets thrown lol song for this part: Note: This is by far the longest thing I’ve ever written (including my novels). It’s a collaboration with the amazing @mrs-dragneel-stark-solo. It started as a funny “What if…?” and it evolved and got huge. This took two years to write. We are both proud and happy and we hope you enjoy it. It follows from Thor 1 to Endgame in the MCU. Some of the timelines may be off in order to fit certain people, and some characters may show up earlier or in different ways than they have in the movie. But for the most part, it follows the MCU. It also has a bit of crossover with some other Marvel characters throughout the story.

Masterlist for Unforeseen Chasm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you and Loki made breakfast, you mused, “So I was thinking, before I leave for Nebraska, maybe I should meet your boss.”

“Oh? And why is that?” Loki asked as he bobbed a tea bag in a cup.

“I just feel like I should know who you’re going to be spending so much time with while I’m away. I need to know they can help you if I can’t.”

“Darling, I am perfectly capable of--”

Quickly, your eyes met his, a serious look in them. “I know you can, I’m not talking about physically. Can I just meet them?”

He looked at you for a moment before his face softened. “Yes, of course. We can go today before you head in for work if you’d like.”

“Sounds good to me. It’s my last day with Bruce so…”

“I’m going to miss you dearly,” he suddenly said, a bit of weight to his voice.

You turned back around from the counter, placing your hand on his cheek. “I know. I’ll miss you too.”

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

As you headed out the door, you texted Shannon, telling her you were meeting Loki’s boss. She asked if she could come too. You said you’d be delighted to have her there, and before you knew it, you were all outside of Loki’s work.

“Hey! You made it in record time,” you greeted happily, hugging her.

“Yeah, it’s these new shoes Tony made for me,” she responded, showing you her shoe. “Nifty in a jam. Hey, Loki,” she greeted casually.

“Hello,” he said politely back before entering the sanctum.

Just as Loki started to go down one hallway, with you two in tow, a voice sounded from behind you.

“Loki? Shannon?” a deep voice greeted all of you.

All of you spun to face the noise. When your eyes landed on him, you were taken aback. “Stephen?” you gasped, rushing forward to greet him. “Oh my god, it’s been so long.”

“Y/N? I thought that was you,” he commented with a side smile. “What are you doing here?” he asked, his face lighting up.

“I came to see who Loki was working with,” you explained, gesturing back to him. “Get this,” you offered, turning back to Shannon and Loki, standing next to Stephen, “we used to go to college together.”

“I didn’t know you two knew each other,” Shannon commented with a grin.

“Oh yeah, we had physics together,” you informed with a smile up at Stephen.

“Is that so?” Loki mused.

“Oh absolutely,” Stephen said with a huge smile. He threw his arm around your shoulder and said, “In fact, you know, I was gonna ask her out in college. She was everything I dreamed of, back then.”

“Really?” Loki asked, a gleam in his eye.

You laughed, a bit nervous, blushing. “I never knew that,” you said, turning to Strange.

“Yeah, so why didn’t you?” Loki asked with a bit of an edge in his laugh.

“I guess it was just never the right time. You know how it is in college--Well, you don’t, you didn’t go, you know, to college. But it’s just hard to find the time when you’re serious like Y/N and I were.”

“I see,” Loki noted and Shannon picked up on his energy way before you did.

“Well we just wanted to pop in,” Shannon quickly interjected, stepping forward to hook her arm through yours. “So good to see you again, Stephen.” She began to whisk you out of the sanctum.

“Likewise. Feel free to stop by for coffee any time, Y/N, I’d love to catch up,” Stephen called after you. You barely had time to yell a confirmation back before Shannon had fully hauled you outside and out onto the street.

“Jesus, where’s the fire, Shan?” you asked, fixing yourself.

“It’s about to be between you and Loki if you hadn’t noticed,” she quipped, pointing back towards the doors.

“What? What are you talking about?”

“Quite the show with Stephen in there. Were you trying to make him jealous or did that just happen?” she asked, beginning to walk.

“Jealous? Loki? That’s kind of impossible,” you muttered. “He’s a magical god with the best cheekbones on the planet.”

“Not to him,” she reminded, almost under her breath. “All I’m saying is… Loki is pretty fragile. He’s insecure. You know this, I know this. He acts like he isn’t, but it’s obvious he is.”

“Right,” you agreed, urging her to continue.

“Which means looking thrilled to see Strange and parading your friendship around in front of Loki before you go off to the middle of nowhere. He’s going to miss you. So any super friendliness you show to another guy, can...you know, send the wrong message,” she noted.

You bobbed your head. “You’re right,” you agreed. “I shouldn’t have done that. I was just so excited to see him. You don’t really think he took it the wrong way, do you?”

She rolled her eyes and began sarcastically, “Noo, not Loki. Take something wrong? Never.” She glanced to you and giggled.

You nudged her playfully as the two of you walked to Stark Tower to begin your day.

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

As the days went by so did the countdown to the most talked about wedding. The happy couple was constantly getting bombarded about details for the wedding. At some point Shannon and Tony had publicly given a statement letting people know that it would be a private event for the reception so there would be no access to photos and filming during that time. They did say they’d allow photos after the ceremony as they leave the church so that there would be something to show of the happy couple.

For Shannon the hardest part of this whole thing about planning a wedding was knowing who to make the maid of honor. She’d only ever been close with two women besides her sister and mother, but things had happened and yes she wanted you to be there for her but she also felt that Nat should too.

It was easier for Tony to figure that out for his best man. He and Rhodey went back years, and even though he and Steve got along, Shannon knew he’d pick Rhodey. Of course Tony didn’t want to leave Steve out so he asked him to be a groomsman.

There were only a few weeks left before the big day and Shannon had yet to tell either woman who will be the Maid of Honor, officially. Hopefully neither felt like they were being left hanging. Maybe there would be a chance that both would be the Maid of Honor like Tony had done with the guys she figured that she could do the same now all she had to do was figure out how to let them know.

Shannon called, “JARVIS...”

“Yes, Miss Shannon?”

“What do you think I could do to tell both Natasha and Y/N that I want them to be my Maids of Honor?”

“I would suggest a girl’s day out, and I can have a few of their favorite foods ordered for the evening of relaxation that way you can all enjoy yourselves”

“Sounds like a plan, although if you could have the food sent to my floor that way the boys dont get any ideas about taking the food. Knowing Clint’s sweet tooth, he’ll be trying to grab the desserts.”

“I’ll make sure that Mr. Barton is unaware of the deliveries being made. Have you decided on the dress or shall they choose their own dresses?”

“I believe that they should have a say in what they want to wear to the wedding.”

———————

Girl’s day as JARVIS had suggested was a success. They all went to get pampered and did some shopping. The day was coming to an end and Shannon was feeling pretty confident that she could ask them both to be Maids of Honor.

“Alright you both know how much I love you right?”

“Well yeah Shannon I know that,” Nat responded.

“Why wouldn’t we know that? You always show us,” you said, a bit confused by her statement.

“Now that we’re all together again and you two are getting to know each other which makes me so happy, here comes the big question.”

There was a bit of a pause, as Shannon flashed her gaze between you and Natasha.

“Come on, spit it out already!” Nat was getting a little flustered not knowing.

“Will you both be my Maids of Honor?” Shannon looked at you and then at Natasha. Both of you were quiet for a moment.

“Are you sure you want me to be a Maid of honor?” Nat looked a little surprised that Shannon had asked both of them. “I figured you’d want Y/N be it. I already gave the spot and title to her a long time ago. Seriously, I’m happy to be just a bridesmaid."

"I do want to be Maid of Honor. But if you’re up for it, and it makes Shan happy…" You shrugged, hugging yourself.

“Well I didn’t think it would be fair picking one person or the other. You guys mean the world to me and I want y'all by my side on that day.”

Shannon stared at you and Nat, wanting an official answer.

“I’m happy to be your Maid of Honor, Shan, you know that, of course. As long as Y/N doesn’t feel like I’m stepping on her toes…” Nat replied.

“Not at all,” you assured. “I’m happy to share this with you, if it makes Shannon happy.”

“You realize we’re going to have to plan a bachelorette party, right?” Nat smirked at the idea. She figured she could involve the guys somehow. Turning to you, she asked, “You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Strippers?" you teased.

“That and more along those lines, but I think we can plan when Shannon is not around.” Natasha figured this could be a good way to get to know each other.

“Please, for the love Stark, nothing crazy, unless it’s a week or two before the wedding!”

“We’ll try but no promises,” you both agreed.

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

Two weeks before the wedding and Shannon was still waiting for the girl’s surprise party. She was a little unsure as to what would happen and hoped that none of it was as crazy as she’s thinking it would be. Turns out she was somewhat wrong, not only did they take her out to eat and pick their dresses but after getting home they took her to the training room where it was set up differently than usual. Nat had somehow suckered Steve, Thor, Clint and a few stripper men to give Shannon an exotic show as a way to partially end the night.

Granted, Shannon had never thought Steve of all people would actually do such a thing but it seemed as if he had no other choice in the matter. Thinking that this would stay as a ‘you never speak of this’ type of thing, you had asked JARVIS that he record the night so that years from now they could all look back and laugh. After that little show, Thor had given the ladies some of his Asgardian mead for them to toast and left. The following morning none of the three women were found in their usual rooms. WhenTony asked Al where they could find the three, he showed them all piled up on one of the training mats left in the corner of the training room.

“Hey, Steve, call Bruce to give me a hand, would you? Looks like they’re hungover and I can't carry all three down to Shannon’s floor,” Tony mused to his friend, amused a their behavior.

“Sure thing. I saw him in the kitchen.” Steve left and came back with Banner.

“So what are we doing?” Bruce asked.

“Well after last night's event, Thor gave the girls some of his strong alcohol and they are all piled up in the training room as we speak. I’d like to get them down to Shannon’s floor to rest,” Tony informed the two.

The three men all ended up with someone in their arms to carry down to Shannon’s old floor. They left them all resting in the giant bed and left water and aspirin for when they would wake up.

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

Wedding day there had been so many last minute details to cover. In the end, the ceremony had been beautiful and Shannon had looked stunning and as promised the happy couple gave the reporters their chance to take pictures of them as they left the church. The two made a quick stop at a fast food joint because Tony had gotten a craving for cheeseburgers. People were excited when they saw him enter and exit the restaurant with a bag full of food and figured that Shannon would be nearby because everyone knew today was their wedding.

On the ride to the hall Tony and Shannon talked about where they’d want to go on a honeymoon.

“Honestly, Tony I dont mind where we’re going as long as it's just the two of us together.”

“I know but I was hoping to take you somewhere you’d always wanted to visit.”

“Well, we could always go to Bora Bora?”

“Then that's where we’ll go then, Mrs. Stark.” He kissed her hand, full of love knowing he was married to the woman he loved. “Looks like we’re here. Let’s go have some fun.”

“Let’s go then.” The door opened for Shannon and it was Steve who was holding his hand out to help her get out of the car.

He walked her to Tony’s side and then went to open the door for them. As the happy couple entered the hall, many of the guests had already arrived wanting to chit chat with all the other guests. Shannon’s parents had been seated to her right, while the team was on Tony’s left. Everyone in between was seated in seats nearby.

Everyone started to cheer as the music began to play and the Best men and Maids of Honor entered followed by the bride and groom.

“Thank you all for being here to celebrate this wonderful day with us, it means the world that we get to start the next chapter of our lives with you at our side.” Shannon thanked everyone who was there and held her glass of champagne in the air.

“To the happy couple!” Thor cheered loudly and everyone yelled the same.

People began to drop off presents at the table and joining in line to get a chance to hug the happy couple. There was music playing and there was so much laughter and joy with everything that goes on in their lives, this is by far the most relaxed anyone had ever been in a long time.

There was a moment where they had started playing games like removing the garter from the bride and giving it to someone else. The winner ended up being Bruce in that game. They had played who knows who better using the bride and grooms shoes that ended in a tie between Shannon and Tony. There had been dancing and drinking and people were enjoying themselves. People were constantly asking for pictures and asking where the honeymoon would be. Once things were getting mellow, the two figured it would be a good time as ever to cut the cake. They asked one of the waiters to bring the two cakes out so that they could get a bit of energy to continue on partying.

“Alright everyone, we’re about to have the cakes brought out so we can enjoy some sweet treats. Everyone is welcome to the open sweets bar that is being brought out too!” Shannon announced.

“Barton, that means you need to control yourself on the sugar high.” Tony smirked seeing a full grown man pout. “Aww, don’t be sad, Shannon might have a secret stash for you later on.”

Shannon laughed at that. “You know I’m always going to have a little something for you.” Then she pointed to look behind him for his surprise.

Seeing him turn back around and come running was the funniest thing in the world, hopefully someone recorded that.

As you stood nearby to cheer on Shannon and Tony, you suddenly overheard Thor and Loki. Thor was clearly drunk. He’d brought some mead, not to mention it was an open bar that he’d been accessing all night.

“Oh, come on, Loki, you know I’ve always been able to hold more liquor than you. It’s just a fact,” he boasted. He was somewhat quiet, for being drunk, but you could see Loki’s face was already distorted into frustration, so you kept your ears and eyes on them.

“Perhaps, but that was a long time ago. Besides, I graduated school with top marks, can you say the same?”

“I can say that I won every battle I ever went into, including saving your ass.”

Loki’s jaw clenched and you naturally turned more towards their conversation. “I, at least, can say I’ve never been banished from our home,” he responded quietly, his teeth clenched.

“No, just imprisoned for years on Earth.”

“Well, we both know who lost in keeping mother alive, hmm?” he snapped, his face tight with a smile full of rage.

Before you could react or blink, Thor slammed his closed fist into Loki’s jaw, sending him soaring back into the table with the cakes on it, covering both bride and groom in cake, and Loki on top of a broken table. He was clearly embarrassed and you ran over to crouch beside him.

“Are you alright?” you asked, your eyes full of worry.

He looked at you before jumping to his feet, wiping off the cake, apologizing to Tony and Shannon, and began walking off.

“I knew we shouldn’t have invited him,” Tony muttered to Shannon. You turned to them, a look of hopelessness on your face before you followed Loki. He walked out of the main hall where the event was being held, turned down a corridor, and ended up in a rather empty hall, leaning on the wall.

You came up behind him, twiddling your fingers. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“No,” he said firmly.

“Loki,” you tried as you walked up and put your hand on his shoulder. He didn’t react, and finally, you sighed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you here. We don’t belong here. Not anymore. I was foolish to think we did. I just thought that since we can’t go back to Asgard...Maybe this could be our home, like it once was for me. But…” You let out a big breath again. “It never will be. That ship has long sailed. We’ll forever be enemies to everyone here.”

He turned to peer at you, anguish in his eyes. “It wouldn’t be, if you weren’t with me. You know I’m the problem, darling, why do you stay?” He brought his hands up to the sides of your face.

“Because I love you,” you said, your face leaning into his hand.

“Maybe that isn’t good enough anymore. You deserve a better life than being treated like this.”

“I deserve a life with you, happy with you, and that’s what I am.”

“Even with your family and friends hating you, hating me?”

“They don’t hate us,” you assured, reaching up to him. “They’re afraid of us.”

“That isn’t much better,” he muttered.

Just then, you heard someone approaching.

“Is everything alright? I just saw you guys come out here I figured something was up after Thor threw you into the cake” Shannon asked looking between the two of them. “Here, Loki I thought you could use a cloth to get the icing off your face.”

He took the cloth gently, wiping himself. “Why are you so kind to us? Clearly everyone else at this event would rather we leave.”

You turned to Shannon. “Yeah, Shan. I know it’s your big day, but maybe Loki and I should go?” you suggested. You didn’t want to leave, not just yet. You wanted to stay, to see your best friend off, but maybe it would be better if you just disappeared.

”Why am I kind to you two? Well Y/N is my best friend all my life, and you Loki, I’d like to think that we have gotten to a mutual understanding.” She looked between the two of them, she could tell that they didn't want to be there any longer than they had to. “But if you two truly feel uncomfortable then you are more than welcome to leave. As much as I’d like you two to stay, I won’t force you. Enjoy the rest of your night guys.” She gave them a warm smile showing them sincerity and started turning back to head inside.

A smile barely twitched at his lips, his eyes going to the floor. Loki looked at you, a look of encouragement in his eyes.

“Shan,” you called. “Wait up. I’d be happy to stay. We just,” you stopped, glancing up to your love, “we just don’t want to ruin your day, that’s all. We don’t want our presence here to sour the atmosphere. You know?” you asked. “I’d love to stay. I’d like nothing more. But… if me leaving means you get the day you deserve, then we can do that.” You gave her a soft, quick smile, the smile not quite meeting your eyes.

Shannon turned around to look at both of you. Her smile faltered a bit but fixed her composure.

“You two could never ruin my day and it’s not even just mine, it’s our day, Y/N/N. We’re celebrating something big. This is a new chapter in all our lives. I'd like for both of you to be a part of it.” She walked over to you putting her arm around your shoulders. “You two leaving tonight wouldn’t give me the day I deserve. It would mean there’s something missing.” Turning to look at Loki and waving him over. “No matter what anyone says, you two will always be welcome and I mean that with all of my heart. Still, it’s up to you both if you want to stay or not. If you do decide to leave I can have a car ready to pick you up and take you home.” She hugged you and pulled back to let you talk to Loki.

You looked to Loki, taking his hand and smiling. The two of you spoke with your eyes quickly before turning back to Shannon and nodding.

“So, now that we’ve ruined one cake, what’s next on the list of events tonight?” you asked with a laugh. “I believe you still need to toss your bouquet,” you reminded, linking your arm through hers as you led her back to the hall, Loki just behind you.

“You just reminded me right now of that! I had completely forgotten.” She laughed walking back into the hall. “I still need to slow dance with Tony. Might be a good time for you two to have a bit of a romantic moment, don't you think?” She bumped her hip with yours.

“That’s not a bad idea,” you mused, thinking of getting to dance with your beloved.

Walking back in you could see people were still having fun, the second cake was still intact so that could get cut and passed around. Looked like Clint might have passed out from too many sweets. Shannon pulled you to the main table to grab the bouquet and grabbed Natasha while they were at it to announce that she would be throwing it in a moment.

“Alright, all my single ladies to the dance floor! Let’s see who's gonna be the next one to get hitched.” Shannon giggled as she walked to the dancefloor. “No cheating ladies, Tony’s got his eye on all of you.” She turned around and everyone began chanting a countdown.

The flowers went up in the air pretty high and Shannon turned around quickly to see who would be the lucky gal. She hoped any of her close friends who were in a relationship would catch it. They were all pushing and moving to try and get to where it would land, little would anyone know that the person to catch it would be you, surprising everyone. You weren’t clamoring to get to it like the other girls were.

“Uh, wow,” you breathed, a feeling that you weren’t sure how to pin down rushed over you.

“Is that good?” Loki asked as he walked up to you, all of the other women leaving the dancefloor with long faces.

Shannon cheered when she saw it land and saw the look of confusion appear in Loki’s face. When it did, it looked like someone’s going to have to catch him up on human culture. “Congrats, Y/N! Looks like someone better get started on planning a proposal,” she joked, looking over at a flustered Loki when he heard that.

“Pro--Proposal?” he stammered.

“It’s… Whoever catches the bride's bouquet is the next person to get married,” you explained. “It’s a silly superstition,” you tried, attempting to brush off the feelings of awkwardness and the small bout of disappointment in your stomach. You didn’t think Loki would ever feel that way for you. If he did, he certainly hadn’t made it known. You didn’t want him to feel pressured to do it. But you also didn’t know if he’d ever consider you wife material. Sure he loved you, but was that enough? A blush rose to your cheeks. “Shan, what about that slow dance now?” you urged, trying to change the topic of conversation.

Noticing the bit of tension, she agreed and went to go let the Dj know it was time for the dance. When they planned the wedding, she didn’t think there would be a dance routine so she and the girls didn’t pick one.

“Alright, it's time for the newlyweds to join the dance floor for their first song of the night. Later they will have a surprise by the groom and the men,” the Dj announced.

“May I have this dance, Mrs. Stark?” Tony bowed.

“Why of course Mr. Stark, shall we?” She giggled taking his hand.

He led her onto the dance floor and everyone watched in awe as they began moving around to the song breathe by Faith Hill. little by little couples began to join them as well taking the moment to whisper sweet nothings to their partners. Shannon saw Loki grab your hand and lead her to the dance floor. She knew they were made for each other and hoped they ended up together like she did with Tony.

“Sorry for earlier. I know it’s probably way too soon, or too heavy, to be talking marriage,” you noted with a slight laugh.

He gazed down at you with a smile. “I rather liked entertaining the idea,” he informed. “We have lived together out of wedlock for three years now? It might be time,” he joked.

“I’ll leave that decision up to you,” you quietly said before resting your head on his shoulder. “I’ve missed this. Remember when we danced for the first time?”

“You mean when my mother forced me to show you how to do the traditional Asgardian dance?” he asked, and you could hear his eyes roll.

“As I recall, it was beautiful. It was very much worth it to get you to talk to me. You weren’t exactly welcoming back then,” you reminded.

“I only wanted to protect you,” he breathed before lifting your chin. “As I always do.”

You smiled and gave him a long, firm kiss.

Meanwhile on the other side of the dancefloor.

“What’s this about you and the guys doing a surprise?” Shannon asked when she leaned closer into his arms. “You up to something devious like always?”

“Guess you’ll just have to wait and see now won’t you? Don’t want you ruining all the practice we’ve done,” he replied, holding her tight and kissing her temple. “I’m so lucky to have found you and to be able to call you my wife.”

“Someone had to make sure you didn’t do anything reckless,” she laughed hearing him attempt to sound offended.

The rest of the night continued in a pleasant, sweet way. By the end of it, Shannon and Tony were sent off glamorously in a sleek black new sports car. They headed towards their private hangar, and they were off on their honeymoon.

Meanwhile, all the Avengers went back to the tower. Most of them were drunk, and passed out nearly as soon as they got there. Except for Steve and Bruce. You joined them all and had a quiet evening with them, chatting for a small bit of time before you and Loki excused yourselves back to your apartment. Steve bid you a goodnight and said you two looked nice this evening. You repaid the compliment. Bruce gave a soft wave and nod before he himself went to his floor to rest offf the festivities.

Going through The AU ListTM again, and idk why but I completely skipped over the fact that you have a point break au. How I missed this, I will never know, but point is I noticed it now. Who’s Johnny and who’s Tyler?(Those are the names, right? Haven’t watched it in awhile lol)

Ahhh yeah I fkn love Point Break; although this one is actually for the new movie, not the old Keanu Reeves one! I’ve only seen little pieces of that movie xD

I actually have two or three AUs, but the one in question is my Stitch AU ofc (the others were Sterek)

Stiles used to be an adrenaline junky, and he made his living through extreme sports sponsorships. One day while out doing something particularly reckless with dirt bikes and best friend Scott, something goes wrong. Scott was feeling a little unsure but Stiles told him it was fine, said to follow him, and off they went. Stiles makes it to the end of the line, but Scott isn’t behind him. It’s a traumatic experience and Stiles quits extreme sports all together, and decides to get a real job: he goes back to college and eventually gets into the FBI.

Five years later, Stiles is the new agent being assigned to a case of adrenaline junkies committing high stakes heists. As their resident adrenaline junkie, Stiles is sent in undercover, where he meets Mitch.*

They hit it off, Mitch seems to be the leader’s (Ronnie) second in command of sorts. He’s different from the others in that he’s a lot more reserved, and doesn’t seem to care about all the wild partying. That doesn’t stop them from hooking up, though.

They do all the challenges together, and for a little while Stiles gets swept up in their momentum. It’s fun, and he missed this. But then they start killing people, they intend to blow up a mine, and Stiles can’t allow that. It’s one thing when they’re stowing away on planes and jumping out the back with pallets of money, cutting it open to let it rain down on the poor villages below. That, Stiles could almost tell himself is a good thing. But killing people? Yes, the mining operation is unethical, but the workers themselves are innocent, just trying to get by.

Stiles starts planning to sabotage the mission without getting caught. Unbeknownst to him, Mitch is already doing the same thing. Maybe Stiles catches him tampering with the charges, or maybe Stiles notices after that Mitch isn’t as disappointed as the others when they don’t go off and pulls him aside to talk about it. However it happens, that’s when Mitch realizes there’s something up with Stiles, and he starts digging.

Mitch is familiar with Stiles’ works. He knows his particular brand of sport was MTB and dirt bikes, very grounded, so what is he doing with them going skydiving and snowboarding? The night they met was at a party out on the ocean, catching waves that no one in their right mind would attempt; and Stiles completely wiped out. Got caught up in the wave, tumbled under water, and cracked his head on the rocks. He probably would have drowned if Mitch hadn’t been there to pull him out. And then it’s also strange that Stiles dropped off the radar for five years, and is suddenly back, not just doing sports, but breaking international law along with them.

Mitch is Intimidating and Stiles is forced to come clean that he’s with the FBI, expecting for Mitch to tell the others and to end up dead in a ditch by morning. Instead, Mitch surprises him by laughing because of fucking course. Of course he’s FBI, why not?

Stiles doesn’t get why that’s so funny - and still thinks he’s going to be killed because Mitch is laughing but it’s not a happy laugh, it’s a ‘what the fuck, this is a disaster’ kind of laugh - and then Mitch tells Stiles he’s CIA.

Of. Fucking. Course.

It’s a whole ass disaster, the FBI meddling in a CIA operation is never good, but Stiles is in too deep now.

In the end, everyone in the group gets picked off one by one; until it’s just Mitch, Stiles, and Ronnie left. Ronnie gets away for almost a year, waiting for the perfect moment to do the final challenge, waiting for a wave big enough. When the time finally comes Mitch goes after him; it’s an ocean storm, a perfect setting for disaster, and that’s exactly what happens.

Ronnie’s going to die, and he knows it. The person who’s footsteps he’s following died during this same challenge, but he’s determined to see it through. Mitch tries to stop him, but when he sees there’s no getting through to Ronnie, he says fuck it, let him drown. And sue him, but he was with Ronnie for over a year, and he hates the guy, but he also kind of respects him/has some fondness towards him. It’s complicated and Mitch doesn’t like feelings, but he knows how much this means to Ronnie. So when it comes down to risking his own life to arrest Ronnie, vs. letting Ronnie get his dying wish, he chooses the latter. Tells the helicopter pilot to get them out of there before the storm causes them to crash, watches the giant wave destroy his boat, and tells himself he doesn’t care. He’s always been good at lying to himself.

There’s never any body to be recovered, but there’s no doubt he’s dead, died at sea like he always wanted, doing what he loved. The FBI is probably pissed, they wanted him to stand trial, but Mitch doesn’t care; he’s not around to cause problems anymore, everybody wins. Stiles is the only one he ever tells what really happened, and Stiles gets it. He got caught up in it too, after all. And once upon a time they were all friends.

*originally Mitch and Stiles were brothers, and Mitch told Stiles he’d been traveling for work, meanwhile the whole time he was up to No Good. When Stiles first meets the group and sees Mitch, he’s pissed and feels betrayed about being lied to. Mitch pretends they’ve never met for Stiles’ own safety, and it’s just a whole disaster. Later they have a fight, Mitch tries to explain what he’s doing here, says it’s not what it looks like. But the group is on an official terrorist list, the FBI, InterPol, and several other agencies are after them, and Stiles can’t believe Mitch is really here willingly. He’s got to be brainwashed or radicalized or something.

But tbh I’m going through to see what AUs don’t need to have the brother aspect, and this is one of those where it’s not all that necessary, so I’m taking it out for the sake of palatability.

Singular-TheseusxReader (Req.)

A/N: Another request done! I feel so accomplished lately. This was definitely fun, not so much a challenge to write lol but a good little thing to get out there. Poor Newt.

Theseus Masterlist

MOOD MUSIC: Windflower by Mamamoo

***

The cobblestones were slick beneath your heels, each one a new obstacle to defeat as you ran along the streets and hoped you’d get there right on time. You were rarely late to Newt’s flat, but when you were, you often felt the guilt of it. He would never hold it against you, a stroke of luck in your favor because you were certain you couldn’t handle being unemployed again. “Oh, this serves me right!”

You swiftly turned the corner, excusing yourself as muggles exchanged irritated looks your way. This wasn’t the most fashionable entrance you could have, but there was little else you could do after waking up so late. A shower wasn’t available, a change of clothes wasn’t available, and you were lucky they had a comb on hand in the old vanity of the inn. “Go out, Y/N, have a drink or two, you deserve it! Like bloody hell I do!” Curses flew from your lips in an undignified manner, each step that brought you closer to Newt’s residence making you dig deeper into your regret. You could divert the blame to another, you gathered, but pretending you hadn’t a part in the events of last night would be such an unfair treatment of the man. Oh, yes, that man. Handsome, tall and every bit the Prince Charming you read about in books as a child. It was almost pathetic how easily you fell under his spell, practically fawning over him the second he sent a single word your way.

Fate would have it that you had already forgotten his name. Or had he even gave it to you? Come to think of it, you had kept yours a secret the entire night as well. It seemed a pointless labor, giving one’s name just because you shared a drink or two and suddenly found yourselves in a room above the Leaky Cauldron waist deep in the sheets of an old bed that made so much noise you were certain someone had heard you two. “They likely did...”

You sighed over the humiliating thought, knowing you were a bit vocal when your bed fellow happened to go rather low on your body and...you had to stop. The memories of last night were flooding back in a strange version of a heat wave that ran along your entire body. It left you reeling, your scarf no longer needed as beads of sweat collected along your neck. You tugged frantically at it, pulling the article away just as you ran through the door of Newt’s home. “I’m here! Sorry, I’m late...um, there was unholy amounts of rain and-“

There was a pause, the residence seeming too quiet for all the creatures that existed in here. Basement or not, there was always something filling the home with a rather loud ambiance. You turned to inspect the kitchen, a rather tall surprise awaiting you as you found yourself face to face with Newt and last night’s company. “Oh.” You had already pulled your coat off, hands now carrying it towards the rack you somehow struggled to find. In your daze you simply let it fall, not even minding when you heard the wet thump of it hitting the floor on your miss.

“Ah, Y/N, no need to worry. I’ve fed them all.” Newt glanced in your direction, noting the startled expression and slight irritation you appeared to hold in your shoulders. “Are you alright?”

“What? Oh-yes! I’m just really exhausted from last night and-“ There it was, you had heard his little snicker from across the room. His irritatingly gorgeous eyes lighting up with that same arrogant glow he so wonderfully bestowed on you just hours ago. It was your poor choice of words that had brought you here, sunken so deep into your shame and now victim to the prying gaze of a certain stranger. “That’s not what I meant!”

Every excuse that flew from you in your tirade left Newt confused, and while you tried hard to explain your predicament without giving anything away, the stranger took his chance. “Little brother, aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?” He was even so kind as to slip that saucy tone in, eyes still lingering on your frame as he boldly admired the fit of your dress. He knew what laid beneath the clothing, his grin only growing as he reminisced on the delicious little sounds you made when he paid a certain area particular attention.

“Uh, yes-“ Newt was eyeing you both warily, the situation growing awkward as you both stared the other down with equal fervor. “Theseus, this is Y/N. She’s my assistant.” Newt gave a quick smile your way, a tad apologetic as he felt forced to introduce his older brother.

“You’re joking.” So articulate, but you couldn’t stop yourself from gaping at the man, standing so confidently there in his coat and suit that made him look all the more heavenly to you. “Oh god...” You rested one hand on your hip, the other coming to cup your forehead as you felt the world come crashing down on you.

In true Y/N fashion, you just managed to sleep with your boss’s brother, who incidentally might be his boss in someway as well. At this rate, why not just climb the ministry ladder. “Theseus Scamander? The Theseus Scamander?! As in the head of the-“

“Auror offices, yes.” He had some nerve replying so casually, knowing not so long ago you had been unbuttoning that very waistcoat he had on. “It’s a pleasure to officially meet you, Y/N.” Theseus prolonged the word pleasure, his eyes sparkling with mischief as Newt stared between you two awkwardly.

“Do you know each other?” He asked, innocently trying to connect the dots on how you would have even met before.

“No!”

“Yes.”

Both of you stopped, Theseus catching onto your denial as he realized he couldn’t exactly be frank with his brother on the details of your meeting. “No.” He saw your desperate gaze, feeling the sudden pressure to explain his earlier sentiment. “Perhaps at a ministry party.” He shrugged it off, motioning for you to take over the reasoning as he lost interest in the subject.

“Y-Yes, a ministry party. I was um, visiting...my brother.” You waved your hand dismissively, hoping Newt would stop accidentally prying into your personal affairs.

“You don’t have a brother.” Newt recalled, causing Theseus to chuckle a little too loudly at that, his teeth now coming to rest over his lower lip in an attempt to stifle his laugh. You were terrible at this, he decided, his eyes now resting on you in hopes that you’d collect your thoughts and be a tad more persuasive in your explanations.

“I mean, your brother. I was visiting your brother. Not mine.” You laughed. “Because, as we’ve discovered...he does not exist.” There went your dignity and quite possibly your job. The more you spoke the deeper the hole got, and you found yourself mindlessly staring down at the floorboards as Newt kept on.

“But...you’ve only just met.” He once again stared between you two, wondering if this conversation was even worth having over his usual cup of tea and research.

“Yes, that’s true. I’m sorry, it just slipped my mind. I did meet Theseus before this, it’s just he has a forgettable face-“ You saw the offense he took to that, your words only making this entire situation all the messier.

“Forgettable?” Theseus swore under his breath, knowing fully well you seemed perfectly infatuated with him last night.

“You know what? Not important.” You waved their inquisitive expressions away, grabbing Newt’s cup of tea and ushering him off towards the basement. “I will clean this up, and you can get back to work, Newt. I know how busy you are, I will be down in a minute and I promise to see your brother off.” If he had any more questions, he kept them to himself as you gently shoved him off. Besides, you weren’t wrong, he had plenty downstairs to keep him busy for the next week so he allowed you to nearly shove him down the steps and close the door behind.

The second that lock went in, you angrily turned to Theseus, eyes accusing as he simply sighed and drank the last sip of his tea. “Theseus Scamander?! Really? And just when were you going to tell me this, hm?”

“Should I have showed you my Ministry identity card?”

“This isn’t funny!”

“Alright.” Theseus set his cup down, nodding towards you in some form of atonement. “I apologize. I assumed it would be a,” he gestured the number one with his finger, implying the night before was simply a singular event. “Identifying ourselves seemed pointless. Frankly, at what point should I have spoken my name? Before or after we-“

“Don’t.” You were already cross with yourself. “Don’t say it. Oh, god.”

“Look,” Theseus shoved his hands into his coat pockets, offering a smile as he attempted to ease your discomfort. “If you’re worried I’m going to tell Newt, don’t be. You have my word.”

You stared over at him, hating yourself for appreciating every detail of his features. Forgettable, he definitely was not. “Thank you.”

“My pleasure.” Theseus nodded politely at you, taking this as his cue to head off for his own work now. “Well, if you’ll excuse me, I should be on my way.”

“Oh, yeah, of course.” You walked him towards the door, stopping only when he turned to speak to you one last time.

“For the record,” Theseus paused at the threshold, smiling down at you as he eagerly let his intentions known. “I do hope it won’t stay a one time thing.”

A/N: Fui fui.

green with envy {benny rodriguez}

prompt; "you can't just waltz in here and –"

"i would've died for you. i think that gives me leeway for a little waltzing."

word count;

warning; none, maybe a few minor cursewords

a/n; this is a terrible imagine. I'm so sorry, I really don't feel like I captured Benny's personality right in this peice. But I've been working on this for far too long and if I hav to write anymore on this stupid story then I'm going to scream.

"You jump, I jump. Remember?"

The tennis ball shot back to the other side of the court and the opposing member of the team Y/N was playing, missed. Cheers and Screams of happiness from the h/c haired girl's team bounced around the tennis court. Y/N laughed as everyone on the court crowded her and thumped her on the back.

"Wow, Y/N, you're so good!"

"So when are you going to become a professional?"

"Golly, I wish I was as good as you!"

Y/N grinned at all her friends and thanked them, "Give her space girls! Giver her space!" Y/N looked up to see her coach beaming at her.

"I'm sure glad I recruited you on the team!"

"Me too, Mrs.Gillfird. Me too." Y/n smiled and looked at the stands. She saw her younger brother, Tommy and her Mother cheering at the stands. But one face sparked her curiosity.

'What was Phillip doing here?' The last time she checked, he hated her guts.

An hour later, Y/N was heading over to the malt shop across the street from her high school; Valley High School.

"Hey, Y/N." Nancy grinned, "What are you thinking about?" Nancy had bright red hair that was quite curly and was currently styled into perfect ringlets inside her ponytail. Nancy had light hazel eyes, that reminded her of Benny's eyes constantly. Nancy was the type of girl who could be all innocent and cherry then break your nose in a spilt-second.

"Nothin' much, Nanc." (pronounced Nance with a silent e)

The truth was Y/N was thinking about Benny Rodriguez, her ex-best friend. The pair of them had gotten into a huge fight when Y/N didn't tell him that she was moving to the East Side until the day before. It had been about a year since that event had occurred and it was understandment to stay she missed him. God, her heart ached to see him again.

"She's probably thinking about Phillips." Sarah grinned mischievously. Sarah was a petite girl, with dark black hair that was pin straight, paired with blue eyes. Sarah was one of those girls who had a heart bigger than god and a personality bigger than life. Y/N felt that she was the closest to Sarah out of the four girls.

Y/N rolled her eyes, "Trust me, Phillip feels nothing for me except for maybe a lot of hatred."

"Well, don't look now, but he's coming out this way." Mary grinned, Mary was very tall. She was around 5'11 and had short blonde hair that went about midway from her chin to her shoulders. She green eyes that seemed to match the grass in spring. She was the shyest of the group. Mary was one of those girls who everyone knew how gorgeous she was, except for her.

Sure enough, all three girls did the exact opposite of what Mary had told them to do. Phillip was coming this way and strangely was looking directly at Y/N. She met eye contact with the idiot and watched as a giant smirk grew on his stupid face.

"Ugh," Y/N crinkled her nose up and started to quicken her pace, "Let's go into Roger's, quickly."

The bell rung on the door of Roger's Milky Way and the quadruplet quickly all piled into an empty booth. It was quite packed inside the Diner, this place was the prime hangout place for all Valley kids.

This Magic Moment played softly in the background, as they picked up the menus and started teasing Y/N about how Phillips was making goo-goo eyes at her.

"Y/N, he's so dreamy," Nancy smiled, "He's an amazing baseball player."

At that comment, she snorted, "Trust me, I know better...a lot better actually."

Sarah raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes in a teasing manner, "Oh yeah, who?"

"Benny 'the jet' Rodriguez."

The three girls rolled their eyes and groaned, "Y'know, I'm starting to wonder if this guy exists, all you do is talk about how in love with him you are! We've never actually met him."

"I can't happen but to overhear your conversation, n/n. So, who is the lucky guy?" Y/n turned around to see straight into Phillip's eyes. They were the color of mud.

"Hmm, funny." The h/c haired girl snapped, "Last time I've heard, it's rude to interrupt, Phillips."

"She's in love with this imaginary guy names Benny 'the jet' Rodriguez."

Phillips' eyes grew huge, "You like him?"

"No! I do not!"

"He exists?" Nancy asked, shocked.

"Yes, he does. He sucks at baseball."

Y/N laughed, but then stopped when she realized no one else was laughing, "Wait, I thought that was a joke."

Phillips ignored that comment, "So, L/n, I can help you get over Rodriguez if you help me get over you."

Y/n rolled her eyes and was about to reject him when he said, "Just remember, I wouldn't hang onto him so long. You know he hates you more than me now, don't you? What the hell did you do to him?"

"Shut your trap, you idiot! Mind your own business! I will never ever go out with you! You need to stoop down back to your league, chump." Y/N paused to catch her breath, but then smirked as an idea quickly formed in he head, "Tell you what, the day you stop playing baseball like a girl, is the day I'll go out with you." The h/c haired girl sassed and used Ham's line.

"You are a girl!' He threw his hands up in outrage.

"Ya, but at least I don't play like one. C'mon, Phillips, we both know I can beat your ass. Do you really want a girl that can do that?" Y/n made a mock concerning face.

"I think it's hot as hell, L/n. Why don't you just go out with me? The rest of your gang is going steady with mine? Why don't we just make it official?"

"I'm standing my grounds, Phillips. Not until you stop playing like a girl." Y/N raised her eyebrows at him.

It was starting to get dark outside, so Y/N decided to start heading home, "I'm going to go home, I'm really tired."

Sarah smiled, "I might head out with you too."

"Okay, Sarah, let's agitate the gravel."

"Let me just grab my sweater." Y/n wrapped her own sweater around her tennis outfit; which consisted of a white collared shirt with her school logo printed on her left breast and a white pleated tennis skirt with a navy blue stripe at the bottom. Her Varsity Sweater was Nazy Blue and it was possibly her favorite thing to wear.

They waved at the two girls and shivered at the night's cold air, "Jeepers, it's cold." Sarah whispered.

"I know, I just want it to be Summer already."

"At least it's not Winter."

"Oh, please. We don't even have a Winter."

Sarah laughed, "True. Why won't you go out with Phillips."

"You don't understand. My old gang, before I moved here and met you all... We were enemies with theirs. I was so different then. I was practically a boy. I wore overalls all the time or jeans and a baseball jersey. I looked like a badly groomed boy. Anyway, we were the best baseball team out there. But they would constantly terrorize us. This one time, they threw a rock through Benny's window and it almost hit his Mother. Golly, t think that was the scariest for me. The worst part was, Mr.Rodriguez had died 5 years ago from that day. So, I was there comforting Benny..." Y/N trailed off as she started to recall the horrendous memory, "That's one of the main reasons why I won't go out with him."

Silence settled between them, "How long ago was it?"

"What?" Y/N asked confusedly.

"When did they throw the rock?"

"About three-fourish years ago...I think."

"As much as I don't want to say this, it needs to be said. I will never ever think that what Phillip did was right. Ever. I love you, Y/N. You're my best friend. But you need to get your head out of the past. If Benny and your squad missed you as much as you miss them, then they would have visited you by now and it's been almost a year now. You need to get over him. You don't have to go out with Phillips, but everyone deserves a second chance. You were the one who taught me that, Y/n. Now, you need to go do it reciprocate it."

Y/N bit her lip and looked down at her white sneakers, "I know, I do... I'll go tell Phillips tomorrow. But if he does anything that I don't like, then I'll drop him."

The next day was Saturday. Y/n got dressed in a red dress paired with a blue scarf tied around her neck and white heels. A knock on her door interrupted her morning breakfast.

"I'll get it!" Y/N hollered to her Mother who was currently doing the dishes.

Y/N opened the door and saw Phillips standing there, "Phillip? What are you doing here?"

Phillip smiled shyly at Y/N which only caused Y/N to be more confused. Phillip was never nervous. Even when he knew her and the boys were going to beat his toushie.

"Umm, I-I wanted to show you something."

Y/N's eyebrows furrowed but she nodded, "Alright, let me just put my dish away and let my Mother know I'm gone. You can come in if you'd like." She mentioned with her hand.

Phillip laughed nervously, "Good, I was scared you were going to let me bake in this heat."

Y/N gasped in fake horror, "In 70-degree weather! Why I would never do such a thing!" {a/n; that's cold for California. lol, I'm so spoiled}

The two surprisingly made great conversation despite their differences, but what shocked Y/N the most was how much she was enjoying herself.

Y/N shut the door to her house and followed Phillip to their bikes that were leaned against the wall, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

Y/N started to whine, "I hate surprises."

"Sucks for you," Phillip said and hopped on his bike. "Now, hurry up. We've got things to do, places to see, people to meet."

Y/N laughed, "Since when have you ever liked people."

"Oh, I like people. Just not your old friends."

"Because we were better at you at baseball."

"Yes, exactly-...Wait! No!" Phillip started to stumble over his words as Y/N almost fell off her bike from laughing so hard.

The two started to slow at the top of the hill, Y/N couldn't see the top of it and it was driving her mad. "Where are you taking me?!?"

Phillip laughed at her impatience, "Would you relax?"

"No. Now tell me!" Y/N exclaimed annoyed, but her anger was shortlived as the two finally made it to their destination. The place was beautiful. The gorgeous field was a lush green and was spotted with pink and reds from flowerbeds. Butterflies and birds twittered around through the hunter green trees. Y/N couldn't speak. She was in such awe of everything around her, she just looked around with her jaw slightly ajar.

"Do you like it?" Phillip asked a small smile dancing on his lips as he watched Y/N's facial expressions.

"How did you find this place? This is nothing like I'ver ever seen before, especially here."

Phillip smiled shyly and put his hands in his pockets, "My Father and I used to come here a lot."

"Used? If I knew about this place sooner, I would be here all day, every day."

Phillip kept smiling but shrugged, "We just grew apart, I guess."

"Oh." Y/N nodded along like she was understanding everything he was saying, but in reality, she was entranced by the meadow she was surrounded by.

An hour later, Y/N felt guilty for how she and the gang had treated Phillip. He was most likely one of the sweetest boys she's met in a while. He didn't try anything with her and had shown her around with the most upright respect she's gotten in a while.

As the pair were watching the stars and lying on the blanket that Phillip had brought for their eventful picnic and 'baseball' game; that he had supposedly won.

"Phillip?"

"Hmm?" He hummed in reply.

"Umm," Y/N sat up slightly causing Phillip's eyebrows to furrow and for him to also sit up, "I was just wondering why you're suddenly being nice to me."

Phillip groaned and put his head in his hands, "Truth is... I've always had the biggest crush on you. I've just never known how to show it."

Y/N felt a ball of stress release in her chest, "Oh," Y/N laughed, "Good."

"Good? I've treated you like shit."

"No, good, as in you also like me."

Phillip's eyebrows shot up, "Also like?"

"Ya, well, wasn't this a date?"

"Princess, this was a way for me to show you that I was a good person. My dates are going to be much better than this. Golly, if you become my girl, I'll spoil you so much."

Y/N blushed, "I don't need to be spoiled. I already have plenty."

"I think you deserve everything."

Y/N didn't know what to say after that, so she kissed him.

Within the next week, Philip and Y/N were inspirable. They went on dates almost every day and kissed many times. It was finally Summer Time and the couple were beyond ready for the warmth to bloom over them.

Y/N's doorbell rang and she blushed but hurried down the stairs, "Hey Mom! I'm going out!"

"Who with, honey?"

Y/N gulped, she knew her Mother was starting to get suspicious. Y/N and Sarah hung out every day, but Sarah would never ring the doorbell, she would just let herself in and shout, "Everyone! I'm home!"

It drove her Mother crazy, but Y/N always felt that her Mother secretly liked it, even if she would never admit it.

"Umm, I'm going out with Sarah and some friends." Now, that wasn't a complete lie. She was going out with Sarah, but they weren't all just friends. They were both going steady with the guys.

"Who are the guys?"

"Guys?"

"Yes, honey, the two boys standing next to Sarah?"

Y/N groaned silently, "Well, there's Johnny and Phillips."

"Phillips? Boy, I haven't heard that name in a while. I thought you didn't like each other."

Y/N gulped and decided to tell the truth, "We're jacketed, Mama."

"Jacketed? Oh, sweetheart, why didn't you tell me? It's rude to him and I for us not too meet."

"Sorry, Mama. I'm still new at this."

"I know, honey. Now let the poor boy in."

"Alright, Mama." Y/N opened the door and plastered a fake smile on, "Hey, Phillip? Would you want to come in? My Mama wants to meet you."

Phillip looked surprised but nodded anyway, "Alright."

"Johnny and I are going to hit the gravel. We'll see you both later." Sarah grinned at her boyfriend, who smiled right back.

"Okay, bye, Sarah."

Y/N showed Phillip around the house, hoping to stall, so Y/N could think of a quick way for her Mother not to talk too much. Mrs.L/N was a known chatterbox. You could never get the woman to stop talking. Although, Y/N and her closest friends thought it was endearing occasionally. Many others thought it was quite annoying and she often used to get teased from it.

Phillip smirked teasingly, "When are you going to introduce me to your Mother? She's not a troll is she?"

Y/N smiled slightly from his joke, "Something like that."

Phillip's brows furrowed and he flung his arm around her and squeezed the girl around him, "Hey, I've heard the rumors about your Mother and personally I don't care. I'm dating a chatterbox myself."

"I'm a chatterbox?"

"Yes, you are. But you know what? People like it. After all, you're a queen."

"I'm not that popular."

"Umm, excuse me, you are our Sophmore President, Tennis Captain, and you won Homecoming Queen last year. I think you are the top Queen."

Y/n blushed, "You always know what to say."

"I know, I do." He smirked, causing Y/N to roll her eyes.

"Now, I'm starting to regret saying that."

He chuckled, "No you don't."

"Yes, I do."

"Y/N! I want to meet your suitor! Get down here!"

"I'm coming, Mama!"

The pair raced down the stairs to meet an impatient but beautiful looking woman, whose eyes softened at the sight of her daughter and Phillip.

"Phillip, this is my Mama. Mama, this is Phillips."

"It's sure nice to finally meet you, Mrs.L/N."

"And me you, Phillips. Although, I've heard plenty about you. So much, it's like I already know you."

"Really?" Phillip smirked as her eyes widened and she blushed scarlet. Y/N's stomach growled uncomfortably and she glared daggers at her Mother and wondered when she would be done torturing poor Phillips.

"Hey, Paulie?"

"What's up, Babe?"

"Mom, Phillips and I should really be going."

"Okay, you make sure you don't lose this one, Y/N. He's a real keeper."

"Okay, Mama."

"Phillip make sure you come around for dinner sometime. I'd love to have you over again."

"Alright, Mrs. L/N."

Y/N's Mother opened her mouth to say something again, but Y/N beat her to it, "Bye Mom."

Y/N hurriedly shut the door and sighed, "Sorry about that."

Phillip laughed, "Don't worry about it. I like your Mom. Say, look at the time. Do you want to head to Rosie's Diner?"

"That sounds great." Y/N grinned but stopped short.

"Isn't that on the other side of town? That's a long bike ride, Phillips."

"Good thing we won't have to ride. I got my own flip top."

Y/N's jaw dropped in surprise, "Golly. That's one tuff mustang."

"Tell me about it, Baby. Hop in."

Y/N smiled and admired the car, "It's gorgeous."

Phillip smiled and started the car up, The radio turned on and Y/N squealed, "This is my favorite song!"

Phillip laughed, "This song?"

"Yes, Then he kissed me!" Y/N sang along to the song.

Phillip smiled and put the top back causing Y/N to shout with laughter as her hair flew crazily with the wind. Phillip looked over at her in awe, he swore he had never seen anything so beautiful before in his life. She was an angel descended from heaven.

"You're gorgeous." Phillip smiled and glanced over at her.

Y/N didn't hear she just kept screaming and laughing.

Y/N went to unbuckle her seat belt, but Phillip quickly scolded her, "NO! No! Y/N you could get really hurt. Plus, we have like five minutes until we're there."

Y/N looked surprised, "Usually it takes me like 15 to 20 minutes."

"It has been you've just been so busy yelling and screamin'" Phillip laughed.

"Oh, oops." Y/N smiled sheepishly.

"Don't say oops. I thought it was cute."

Y/N giggled but couldn't help but feel guilty. She liked Phillips, but Benny will always be her first love. Unfortunately, for Y/N, you never get over your first love.

"Hey, daydreamer, we're here." Y/N got her head out of the clouds and took in the place they were at. Y/N's grin widened immensely. This had to be one of her favorite places on Earth. Rosie's Diner was one wild jig. Her old gang and herself had many old but fond memories here.

"Why'd you take me here? It's so far, compared to all the other diners." Y/N asked.

Phillips shrugged, "I knew you grew up with this one. I thought you'd enjoy the change of scenery."

Y/N nodded but she couldn't convince her mind that he was telling the truth. The doorbell rang as they stepped into the diner. Phillip went to talk to the hostess as Y/N quickly scanned the tables and everything around her.

"They can't be here. God, please don't let them be here." Thankfully, they weren't here. The hostess lead them over to their table and sat them down.

"I'll be back to order for drinks." She smiled.

Y/N grinned back, "Thank you..." Y/N glanced at her name tag, "Sally."

"My pleasure."

Y/N smiled at Phillip and took his hand, "Thank you for being so thoughtful this past week. I'm so sorry I treated you that way before. If only I had-"

"Hey, hey. I acted like a jerk. It was only right for you to hate me. Plus, It's not like I stopped when we got older. I just hit on you all the time. Which sometimes, can be worse."

Y/N laughed, "Tell me about it."

A small voice interrupted their conversation, "Y/N?"

Y/N looked over to see squints gaping at her wide-eyed. Y/N copied the gang's look and looked around for Benny. After not finding the attractive boy, she relaxed.

She cracked an uneasy smile, "Hey gang." The boys all rushed over for a hug.

"Hey, girly, where've ya been?"

"Shut up, Timmy!"

"Aww, Bertram you got glasses!"

"Yeah, yeah, he sure did Y/N!"

"We really missed you, Y/N." Kenny said while hugging her tightly.

"I missed you so much. You don't even know, Ken."

"Aww, I don't get a hug from my favorite girl?"

"Come here, Hammy."

"Ugh, you know I hate that name."

"Why do you think I use it?"

"Just because you're finally visiting us, I'll drop my sassiness."

Y/N fake gasped and clinked a glass cup and spoon together, "Everyone! Everyone! Ham said he's going to stop being sassy!"

Everyone gasped causing Ham to growl, "Whatever!"

Everyone gasped again, "Ham, are you feeling alright? When's the last time you've said whatever?"

Ham rolled his eyes at everyone's antics.

"Who're you?" Y/N looked in the back to see a small boy holding a baseball glove, looking quite confused.

"This is Y/N L/N. She's been on our baseball team ever since... we can all remember."

"Yeah, yeah," yeah yeah said, "She's also Benny's secret lover. Benny and Y/N are on the hook more than Squints and Wendy Peffercorn!"

"Then why is she with Phillips?"

A growing silence made Y/N shiver, the boys were looking at her like she had betrayed them.

Ham suddenly grinned and punched Y/N in the arm, "You sly dog. You were luring Phillips over here to us, so we could give him a knuckle sandwich."

The boys started to get rowdy again, but Y/n closed her eyes, "No, I wasn't. Phillips and I are going steady."

"What about Benny?"

Y/N laughed, "He didn't tell you? Hmm, funny, Why don't you go ask him? He's coming out now."

Y/N froze as she registered what she had just said, Y/N made eye contact with Benny. She felt her body go numb and the world seemed to stop spinning. Benny smiled at her which made her insides melt. If it was possible Benny had gotten hotter. He was taller and more muscular, but still had those kind, sparkling eyes which she loved.

"Hey, Rodriguez!" Phillips shouted.

"Uh oh." Y/N whispered.

"Hey, Y/N." Ham whispered, "We should get you outta here, before things get messy, ya?"

Y/N sighed, "I'd love too, but I have to make sure things don't get messy."

"Things are going to get messy, Y/N. Benny's a jealous guy. Especially with you because he's so in love with you. Now, you finally show up with Phillips-"

"Benny told me to never show my face again. So, I'm truly sorry that I show up with Phillips."

"So that's why you haven't visited me."

Y/N's eyes softened, "Oh, god, Ham, I've wanted to see you for so long. Personally, without Phillips."

"So, you don't like Phillips."

"No, I do. You would too if you got to know him."

Ham laughed, "Oh, that wasn't a joke."

"No, it wasn't. So, Squints is still in love with Wendy Peffercorn?"

"What guy isn't, Y/N? If they're not in love with her, then they're in love with you."

Y/N's eyebrows raised, "I don't think so Ham."

"It's true. Benny's in love with you and he doesn't even take a second glance at Wendy. She's one hot fox."

Y/N rolled her eyes, "Of course, she's one hot fox."

"Hey, nosebleed! She loves me!" Benny pushed Phillips who was glaring daggers at Benny.

"She's mine!" Phillips threw a punch.

Y/N quickly stood up just in time for them to wrestle on the ground, Y/N ran toward them and attempted to get Phillips off of Benny. Phillips accidentally elbowed the poor girl in the eye. She screeched and fell down. Benny pushed Phillips off of him and ran to Y/N's aid.

"Y/N! Y/N, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

The manager came over to Benny and the gang and Phillips, he rested a hand on Y/N's shoulder. "Here's an ice pack. I think it would be best if you guys could leave quietly."

"Alright, Mr.Flowebed, we understand. I'm sorry we caused trouble in your diner." Y/N apologized and took the ice pack.

"It's alright, sweetheart. I already kicked the other guy out."

Y/N groaned she had completely forgotten about Phillips. "Thank you, Mr.Flowerbed. Let's go boys."

Y/n was about to stand up when Benny swept her off her feet. She laughed, "Benny, what are you doing?"

"Carrying you. You're badly injured, Ms.L/N."

Y/N rolled her eyes and smiled, she didn't feel like mentioning that the only thing hurting was her eye. Y/N snuggled against Benny's side and felt like closing her eyes. It was pretty late, almost dinner time. The sun was starting to set and Y/N felt calmer than she's felt in a long time.

A sharp voice cut off her calming thoughts, "Y/N! Let's go!" Y/N felt herself being lowered to the ground and her eyes focused in on a very angry Phillips. Phillips grabbed Y/N's hand and dragged her forcefully over to the car.

Y/N waved to her gang and caught one shout from Ham, "Come back Loser!"

"What did you say!" Phillips marched over to them.

"I said 'Come back Loser!', it was directed toward Y/N, but I can understand why you'd think it was for you with 'loser' in the sentence and all."

Phillips laughed darkly, "Didn't know you knew what a sentence was, Ham."

"Didn't know you knew how to play baseball, Phillips. I mean swinging a bat around is not the same as playing."

"I don't care about Baseball, Ham. What I do care about is Y/n. She's mine, Rodriguez, whether you like it or not."

Benny looked at him calmly, "She's not a thing, Phillips."

For some reason, that made Phillips angrier, "Then stop treating her like a thing Rodriguez."

Benny punched Phillips square in the nose, they were on to each other again. Y/N's eyes widened, she was about to get out of the car again when the boys pulled them apart.

"Get out of here, Phillips!" Ham spat and shoved him away from the gang causing him to stumble and fall.

"How about we settle this once and for all, Rodriguez. We play baseball in my field, tomorrow at 3 o'clock, sharp. Winner gets Y/N. Deal?"

Benny glared at the hand in front of him, "The Loser also has to leave Y/N and the winner alone and respect her decision."

"Deal." They shook on it.

The next day, Y/N was a nervous wreck. She hadn't slept at all that night, she had called Sarah at least 5 times in the last hour, and everything seemed to be getting worse.

The dumb baseball game was in about a half-hour and Y/N decided to grab her sweater and start heading over to the pitch. Y/N personally didn't see the point of this game. Shouldn't she be the one to be able to decide?

God knows who she'd choose. It was Benny, it's always been, Benny. If Phillip hadn't told her to "Fuck off. It's all your fault you slut," then maybe she'd have put up more of a fight for who she wanted to stay with.

"Hey, Mama! I'm going to head over to the baseball game!"

"Okay, sweetie. Be back by the time the lampposts are on!"

"Will do, Mama!"

Y/N locked her front door and was about to walk over to her bike when she tripped over something. Y/N groaned, her stockings were ripped.

"Damn it!"

"Y/N! Language!"

"Sorry, Mama!" Y/N looked over to see what she tripped over. It was a huge bouquet of flowers and chocolate.

"What on Earth?" Y/N touched the flowers gently. They were positively the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. No, not beautiful, beautiful was a poor and boring word to describe those flowers.

Spontaneously Breathtaking.

"Do you like them?" Y/N turned around to see a guilty looking Phillip standing on her second porch step looking mighty awkward.

"Yes, I love them. Where'd you get them?"

Phillip smiled, "Our special place."

Y/N smiled, she quickly got off the ground and playfully glared at him, "I'm still mad at you, so the chocolates better be the best chocolates I've ever had or you're in trouble."

Phillip smirked, "What kind of trouble?"

"No kisses for a week." Y/N deadpanned while trying to hold in her laughter at his reaction.

"WHAT?!?! Y/N, sweetie, don't you think that's a little harsh?"

"You called me a slut. Need I say more?"

"No, I think I'm good."

"That's what I thought. I'm going to put these flowers in a vase and then we can head to the game together."

"What about the chocolates?"

"I'm bringing them to the game."

"So, you're not going to try them now? You're going to make me wait?"

"Oh, honey, you are going to wait a very long time."

Phillip whimpered but opened the door for Y/N hoping to get some sort of reaction out of her. He didn't get one.

They had won. Phillip had won.

"How the hell did that happen?" Y/N whispered to herself in her hands. She had been pretending to be happy about it all of yesterday and now almost all morning, but all she wanted to do was find Benny and kiss him. She knew she had a high chance of marrying Phillip, especially with her Mother still alive.

"Hey, babe, you alright?" Y/N looked up to see Phillip drinking some water and leaning against the batting cage that Y/N was currently sat in.

"I'm fine. I don't understand why I'm not allowed why I can't play with you guys."

"Because I don't want you to get hurt sweetheart."

Y/N stood up angrily, "Bullshit. You won't let me play because you're embarrassed by me playing in front of your friends."

"Hey, baby, that's not true."

"Don't you baby me." Y/N spat and stomped out of the batting cage.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know. Away from here."

"Okay, come back when you cool off." Phillip shouted and got ready to batter up.

When she was out of sight from the boys. She started to run, Y/N didn't know where the hell she was going, but it was away from her disgusting pig of a boyfriend and his gross friends. She shivered, gawking at herself.

"How did I get here?" Y/N was tough, she was one of the toughest girls in LA. However, she was one of the sweetest also. It was merely a matter of how you judged.

Y/N walked along a random path, she had gotten a ride from Phillips and didn't bring her bike. A loud car drove past her and Y/N almost jumped from the music. She wanted to curse at it but held it back.

Y/n sighed and kicked a pebble that was sitting innocently on the ground. "Sorry, little pebble."

"Hey! Y/N! Watcha' doin' talking to a pebble?" Y/N looked up to see Ham grinning up at her inside a van.

"Hello, sweetie. What are you doing walking alone? Do you need a ride?"

Y/N smiled, she hadn't seen Mrs.Rodriguez in a whole year.

"I think she's good, Mom," Benny said. Y/N gulped, she knew Benny was mad at her but there was no other choice. She needed a ride home.

"Actually, Mrs.Rodriguez, if it's no trouble. I do need a ride home." Y/n looked up guiltily.

"It's no trouble dearie, hop right in." Mrs.Rodriguez gestured.

"Thank you, Mrs.Rodriguez." Y/N said politely before getting in the car. Surprisingly, the boys didn't really care about yesterday's events. The only one who was being stony towards her was Benny, but Y/N understood his reasons.

The boys and she joked around till they were almost at her house, "Why were you walking home?" Mrs. Rodriguez asked.

Y/N sighed, "Phillips was acting like a jerk." Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Benny stiffen and all the boys hide their smiles.

"Benny tells me the two of you are jacketed, yes?"

"Correct." Y/N sighed.

"Do you see anything more than just going steady with him?"

Y/N wrinkled her nose at the thought and was about to reply when Mrs.Rodriguez did it for her, "I'm going to take that wrinkled nose as a no."

Y/N giggled lightly and the boys finally let out their laughter that they had been holding in for way too long.

"Boys, boys, calm down now. I know you want Benny and Y/N to get together but that's no reason to laugh at Phillips"

Y/N's eyes widened at Mrs.Rodriguez comment and she quickly looked down to attempt to hide her blush. Everyone laughed at Benny's and Y/N's very obvious blush.

"Y/N, would you like to join us at the lake?"

Y/N grinned, "I'd love to Mrs.Rodriguez. Do you mind if I just grab my suit?"

"Sure, sweetie."

Y/N went into the house and grabbed her suit and threw it on before rushing downstairs again. Y/N locked her front door again but stopped short when she saw Mrs.Rodriguez and her Mother chatting it up. Y/N started to giggle lightly at the boys annoyed expressions. The whole gang knew how long it was going to take for their conversation to end.

"Heya, Mama." Y/n kissed her Mother's cheek and hopped into the van.

"This is going to take a long time." y/n said and looked out the window. Surprisingly, it didn't take that long.

"Alright, bye M/n! We need to catch up!"

"Definitely! I'll see you kiddos later!" Y/N's mother headed back inside.

The trip to the lake was rather uneventful, Benny still wouldn't talk to Y/N even after her comment on Phillips. It frustrated her like no other.

Y/N hopped over a rock and was giggling with Yeah, Yeah, "So squints is really in love with Wendy?"

"Oh, yeah. He even kissed her!"

Y/N gasped and burst into laughter, "Did he kidnap her?"

"Nah Nah, he purposely drowned and then when she performed CPR on her, he gave her the tongue."

"Wow, didn't know he had it in him."

"Yeah, yeah... Hey, Squints!" Alan shouted squints looked over, "How was necking with Wendy Peffercorn?"

Squints groaned as the boys and Y/N all laughed, "Shut up idiots. Y/N and I are the only ones who've kissed something other than your Mother's asses!"

Y/N gasped, "Squints! Language!"

Squints blushed and drew something in the dirt with his shoe, "Sorry, Y/N."

Y/N smiled and ruffled his hair, "It's all good, Squints. Golly, you've sure changed."

"Hey, Gang! We're here!" Benny shouted as his Mother set down the picnic basket.

"Wicked!"

"Sweet!"

"Far out!"

Y/N grabbed her PB and Marshmellow Fluff sandwich {a/n; if you don't know what that is, I pity you immensly} and sat down next to Benny and Ham.

"So, Y/n what's necking with Phillip like?" The boys all sniggered at Ham's question.

Y/N shrugged, "Nothing special."

"Aww, c'mon Y/n you've got to give us something more than that." Bertram teased.

Y/N stuck her tongue out at the bespectacled boy but continued on, "I've had better. He needs to keep his tongue shoved down his own mouth, not mine."

"Eww." The boys all shouted and clamped their hands over their ears. Y/N smirked, she got them. No more talking about make out sessions with Phillips.

"Cannon Ball!" Ham shouted and hopped into the water, shortly followed by everyone else. They all played in the water for about two hours before Mrs.Rodriguez announced a suggestion.

"Hey, guys! Do you want to go on a hike?" She asked everyone and looked at the clear sky.

There was a collective amount of 'no's' or 'I want to go in the water, Mrs.Rodriguez.' However, after Mrs.Rodriguez death glare everyone was on their feet except for Benny and Y/N who she'd forced into staying.

The second they all left, things went from awkward between Y/N and Benny to God Awful, kill me now awkward.

Y/N got out of the water and started to dry off. She drying her legs when she heard an annoyed cough behind her.

"What?" Y/N snapped, she was tired of Benny's rude behavior.

"Why didn't you come back?"

Y/N laughed, "You'd think you would remember, wouldn't you?"

"No! I don't Y/N!" Benny stepped closer to her.

"You told me to never show my face in this town ever again!"

Benny looked down guiltily, "Why'd you date Phillips?"

"Because he cares about me."

Benny's anger flared up, "No, he doesn't. He doesn't care about anyone but himself."

"Maybe if you gave him a chance then you would-"

"I GAVE HIM A CHANCE Y/N!"

"BUT YOU NEVER GOT TO KNOW HIM DID YOU?"

"WELL, GUESS WHAT Y/N? I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT HE'S ONLY WITH YOU BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET ON MY NERVES!"

"IN CASE YOU FORGOT, RODRIGUEZ! THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU!"

"I KNOW IT DOESN'T! BUT IF IT'S NOT THAT THEN HE JUST WANTS TO GET INTO YOUR PANTS Y/N! IF YOU WERE SMART YOU'D BREAK UP WITH HIM!"

Y/N felt tears spring up, so she did what she thought was best. She smacked Benny Rodriguez hard, "Guess, what Rodriguez! I'm the smartest in my damn grade! I have honors roll as a sophomore! I won the Science Fair twice in a row. But the smartest thing I think I've ever done was follow your advice and not talking to you for a whole freaking year."

"Y/N, Y/N, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean what I said. Honest." Benny went in for a hug, but she only pushed him away. Benny wrapped his wet self around Y/N to get her to laugh but she only pushed him away again.

Benny groaned but knew he had to go to extreme measures for this. Benny picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

"Benny, NO!"

"Benny, YES!" He threw Y/N in, then jumped in right after her.

Y/N surfaced quickly and glared at Benny, she was so frustrated with him! God, he was so annoying. Y/N was almost out of the lake when she felt her body being pulled back in by her arm. {a/n; i am so sorry this is the cheesiest thing ever}

Y/n surfaced the second time in Benny's arms, "Damn it! God, I hate...mmph." Benny kissed her. The creases in Y/N's forehead from her frustration slowly melted away along with everything else until it was just her and Benny.

Y/N quickly broke away from the kiss in shock. Her eyes were wide and her lips were slightly parted with slowly evening breaths flowing out. "Benny," she started, but all she could say was his name. His name seemed to be the only thing running through her brain; it seemed to be a mantra pulsing around her brain.

"Y/n," Benny gulped nervously, he knew it was time to spill his guts out no matter how she reacted, "I love you. I have for a while now. Even though you never noticed, when you left I would go out and look for you. I-I just needed to hear your voice. God, if I spent any more time away from you it was going to drive me insane. Anyway, I know that I made the deal with Phillips about not messing with your relationship with him. But, I know he doesn't treat you right. I know I could do so much better. Even if he has more money than me, Y/N. I know he would spoil you with gifts. But I would spoil you with my love and I know you feel that's more important. So please, please take me instead. Take me back."

Y/N was frozen, her heart was pounding painfully in her chest, her mind was going haywire begging her to say what she wanted too. But all she could do was gape at him like a blind fish.

Seconds ticked by, seconds that turned into minutes, which lead to Benny whispering, "So what do you say?"

Y/N's mind betrayed her heart, she ran away as fast as she could.

Y/N's heart felt heavy in her chest as she ran, a little while away Y/N stopped to rest but only got blown over by someone. Thankfully, she didn't fall over, she just stumbled a little.

Someone spun her around by her shoulders and grabbed onto her arms, "Tell me you don't love me."

Y/N's eyes widened, "Let me go, Benny."

Benny didn't let go. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me."

Benny felt Y/N's arms tremble in his hands, but she looked him the eyes anyway, "I-I don't lo..I don't love you, Benjamin Rodriguez."

Benny forced his eyes shut and tried one last move, he had to get her with this one. He kissed her. He kissed her hard and long and passionately and lovingly.

Without opening his eyes, he broke the kiss and rested his head on her forehead, "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me."

Benny opened his eyes just in time to see Y/N open hers, "I-I can't, Benny."

"Thank God."

They kissed again.

A week later, Y/N's arm was wrapped around Phillips as they entered the dance she's been working really hard on. Y/N's Mother was a member of the Valley Country Club. The Country Club was hosting a public free event to try and gather more members and Y/N was partly in charge of it.

"Hey, babe? I was talking to you. Are you alright?" Phillips waved a hand in front of her.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just worried about the event." Y/N's mind was nowhere near the event that was taking place. Instead, it was wondering why the hell she rejected Benny.

It was the next morning after her and Benny's get together and Y/N was curling her lashes when a doorbell rang throughout the house.

"I'll get it!" Y/N's Mother hollered to her.

"Oh, Hello Benny. What a lovely surprise. Come in." Y/N almost ripped out her lashes in shock. Phillips was supposed to be here in five minutes. The poor girl was already running late for a date and she didn't need any distractions at the moment.

Y/N heard a knock on her bedroom door and hastily pulled a random shirt over herself and opened up the door with messy wet hair and close to no makeup.

"Hey, Y/N. I got you these," He held out a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you, Benny. Listen about last night..." Y/N trailed off. She needed to end it quickly, like ripping off a band-aid. "I need to stay with Phillips, I really hope you understand."

Y/N quickly closed the door in his face and cringed into her hands. God, what was she doing? She was probably the stupidest girl alive.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Now, I need to gather up the final contestants of the annual Valley Pagent! We have Sarah Berman, Daisy Sparks, Nancy Parker and last but certainly not least Y/N L/N."

Y/N stumbled up to the stage with Sarah holding her hand tightly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Oh, shit. Benny's here." Nancy whispered to them.

"Really? I didn't notice." Y/N whispered sarcastically.

"So, that's why you're freaking out."

"I'm fine!" Y/N whispered harshly and shook off their grips on her. She shut her eyes and took in a deep breath. Y/N scanned the room to look for Phillip and her Mother. The H/C haired girl found her Mother, but Phillip seemed to be missing.

"And the Pagent Award goes to... Y/N L/N!" The man sang and held out a sash with a bouquet of flowers. "And final words to everyone."

"Thank you for voting for me, I really appreciate it and I hope you like the event and have an amazing Fourth!" Y/N smiled and wondered how the hell she could be doing this right now. Her head was spinning violently and she just needed to get out from all the stares it was overwhelming.

The second Y/N was let off the stage she raced to the girl's bathroom. Sarah, Nancy, and Mary were all running after her, worried about their friend.

"Y/N Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"How the hell do you run so fast in heels?"

Y/N threw the door open and quickly ran over to the sink. Y/N heard the door slam open then noises from their shoes hitting the tile. The h/c haired girl quickly splashed water on her face and calmed herself down.

"Y/N are you alright?" Someone asked behind her.

"Yes, I'm fine. I just needed to get away from everyone for a second." Y/N said and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Then don't look behind you," Sarah grumbled. Y/n furrowed her eyebrows and her eyes shifted to the left. She screamed. Phillips and Sherry Williams were holding each other in a compromising position looking at her terrified.

Y/N whipped around her, her emotions running wild. At first, she felt so mad she wanted to smack the shit out of him, but the realized she felt relieved. She was so relieved that she could break up with him.

"You know what?" Y/N laughed, "I don't even care. I wanted to smack the shit out of you five seconds ago. But honestly, I just want to thank you."

"Thank me?" Phillips asked, his eyes searching her as if making sure she was alright.

"Yes, thank you so much for showing me that Benny has always been the right one." With that said, Y/N walked out of the bathroom and headed over to the dance with a newfound confidence inside her.

"Hey, Y/N." Sarah smiled, "Thank goodness you dropped him. He was getting on my nerves."

Y/N burst out laughing, "Honestly, me too."

"Hey! Y/N!" A very high voice said behind her, "Let's get out of here, shall we?"

Y/N felt two pairs of hands guiding her over to the doors of the country club and heard whispers behind her.

"Wait, I need to find Ben..." Y/N found Benny alright. He was kissing Sherry. "That Bitch! What the hell is her problem?"

Y/N felt tears prickle her eyes, so she did what she did best. She ran for it.

Y/N woke up with a dry mouth and a pounding headache. The girls had slept over at Y/N's house and all shared gallons of cookie dough ice cream and watched Splendor in the Grass over and over again.

Y/N had to admit that was the most romantic and saddest movie of all time. {a/n; hey! they didn't have the notebook yet!}

"Hey! Y/N! Wake up, Sweetheart!" Y/N's Mother popped her head through the crack in the door.

"I'm already awake, Mama." Y/N's voice cracked as she saw her Mother's worried face.

"Honey, what happened?" Mrs.L/N walked over to Y/N and brought her into a warm embrace. Y/N tried to explain everything, but even she knew it sounded like a load of codswallop. No one could hear a word she was saying with her sobbing.

"Alright, alright honey. This calls for a major break up kit, doesn't it?"

Y/N hiccuped, "The Biggest."

"I'll call Sarah up and have her come over while I'm gone. I'm going to go get chocolate and ice cream and all those goodies. I'll be right back."

Y/N nodded and hugged her Teddy Bear tightly. She cried and cried into the stuffed animal until her Mother came back in.

"I'm going to go get everything at the Grocery Store. Sarah will be here in five. Will you be okay till then?"

"I'll be okay, Mama. It's only a breakup."

"A very messy one at that." Y/N's Mother kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. Y/N sighed to herself and willed her eyes not to cry for another ten minutes.

She looked around for something to do when she heard the car start signaling her Mom was gone. Y/N groaned into her pillow and just sat there for a while.

Y/N felt the bed dip and looked up. It was Benny. She rubbed her eyes quickly to make sure she wasn't dreaming. When she realized she wasn't she grabbed her pillow and hit him with it as hard as she could. "What are you doing here? You can't just waltz in here and-"

"I would've died for you. I think that gives me a little leeway for waltzing." Benny raised his eyebrows at her.

Y/N glared at him but didn't say anything, especially when he kissed her.

Eleven Years Later

"Honey! Mails here!" Y/N shouted as she stirred some cake batter. Benny smiled and kissed his wife on the cheek before sticking his finger into the batter.

"Benny! What did I say about eating the cake batter!"

"Since when have I ever listened to you?"

Y/N put her hands on her hips, "When I'm a pregnant lady with raging hormones. Now, go get the mail!"

"Alright, alright. I'm getting it! But since I'm being such a generous husband, do I get a reward for getting the mail?"

"BENJAMIN RODRIGUEZ! DON'T MAKE ME SMACK YOU!" Y/N shouted and smiled satisfactorily when she heard the screen door slam.

"Bills. Bills. Bills and more Bills. Let's guess the next one? Bil-. Nope, not bills."

"Well, that's a shocker." Y/N said and threw the cake batter into the oven and dusted her hands off on her apron.

"It's a Wedding Invitation."

Y/N furrowed her eyebrows, almost everyone in her family and Benny's family had gotten married already... or were dead. "Who's it from?"

Benny burst out laughing, "It's fro Squints and Wendy Peffercorn. Do you remember her?"

Y/N's eyes widened, "No way. Squints got the girl."

Benny put the invitation down and walked over to Y/N. "I also got the girl."

Y/N rolled her eyes, "You will really do anything for a kiss, won't you?"

"No, I'm just showing you my love."

Y/N gave him a look which he caved into, "Fine, but I really do love you Y/N."

Y/N smiled and wrapped her arms around Benny's torso, "I know. I love you so much, Benjamin."

Benny gave Y/N an Eskimo kiss, "You know I hate when you call me that."

"That's why I do it." Y/N kissed Benny this time on the lips.

"I'm so glad you both could come." Squints said, "The whole gangs here! Even Ham!"

Y/N smiled and laced her hands through Benny's, "We wouldn't miss it, Squints. So, you really did get the dream girl, eh?"

"Yes, I did. I can see Rodriguez did too...Whew, And you two got busy."

Benny rolled his eyes, "Shut up, Squints. You're just jealous."

"Mmm, no. Not really." Squints grinned, "Now, go say hi to the gang, I need to go meet Wendy for the First Dance."

"Bye, Squinty."

"Bye Rodriguez, Y/N, and baby Rodriguez."

An hour later, Y/N took another sip of water and watched the sunset. The peace and quiet was so nice. She hadn't had it in quite a long time. Ever since Y/N had broken the news to Benny, he was constantly hovering over her, making sure she was alright an comfortable at all times. When he wasn't with her, he made sure Smalls was. Which was quite exhausting.

Loud shouts made Y/N groan into her glass of water. One by one the gang started to pile around her, Ham sat to her left, Yeah Yeah to her right, and Benny pressing behind her. Y/n smiled and closed her eyes as she leaned against Benny.

"Hey, babe. You look gorgeous tonight." Benny stamped a kiss next to her collarbone.

"Thank you, love. You look pretty nice too."

"Hey! Lovebirds! What are you going to name the baby?" Ham asked, knowing he shattered the moment.

Benny glared at Ham and playfully pushed him, "Thanks for ruining the moment, man."

Ham put his hands up in surrender, "The baby better be named after me, Rodriguez."

"Oh, please we all know it's going to be named after me." Yeah yeah disagreed.

"Hell, no. It's me." Squints said.

Everyone turned to look at Squints, "What are you doing out here?"

"You really think I was going to let you all have your fun without me?" Squints raised his eyebrows at everyone.

"I'm thinking we should name the baby after Benny or my Father." Y/N said and reached back to run her hands through Benny's hair. Benny hummed happily into Y/N's neck and drew circles on her swelled tummy.

"I like that idea, baby."

"The baby's going to be so loved, Ben."

"Well, obviously, he has like 10 uncles."

"Shut up, Ham."
