Friends fight too
all turtles x fem!reader (platonic, best friend relationships)
summary: friends fight all the time and sometimes it gets a bit too far
A/N: this is probably my, like, 5th angst fanfic of these turtles. told ya im the expert when it's angst; i like to break people's hearts ;)
Tumblr media
"the best fights don't occur between strangers. they occur between friends who trust each other." - chuck palahniuk
It was a cool simple Tuesday night when the turtles and you went out for your patrol. You're a still in training to become part of their team as a female ninja - a kunoichi. You've trained under their watch and Splinter's but mostly Splinter. The turtles, when not occupied to save the city under Chief Vincent's order, would train you.
Even Mikey. Yes. His classes aren't easy to catch up especially when he's hyped about you joining their team. He makes sure you eat enough so you can build a muscle.
"Don't be as bad as Raph, though." He said one time and with sharp ears, Raph threw a spare shoe at Mikey's head and knocked him over.
Almost 9 months into training, you were 87% ready according to Donnie's statistics. A week or two and you'll be 100% ready depending on your confidence.
Whoever said ninjutsu was easy, they're nuts. Here you are in your early 20s learning extensive martial arts, you are sure your legs are going to give out the moment you're in real combat.
Which is happening right now - Donnie's monitors picked up movements from a factory 10 minutes from their whereabouts and Casey Jones, who is now the NYPD's lead detective, contacted them that there was a gang infiltrated the place. The turtles responded.
"We'll be there by truck." Leo informed Casey and turned to you, "Head back to the lair."
"Wait, I'm not going with you? I'm almost full-on kunoichi."
"It's too dangerous, y/n. You're not ready for this combat yet."
"So I head straight to the lair after my 9-5 job to do my training despite being in my 20s and busted my ass doing the training and you're benching me? What the fuck, Leo?" You were pissed. What's the point of training so hard if he's pushing you away from real combat?
"Guys, we have to go." Donnie called. Without further arguments, you ended up following them to their mission.
Part of you was excited but deep down, you were nervous. Perhaps Leo was right; maybe you weren't 100% ready and into the mission.
"You okay, angel?" Mikey interrupted your thoughts and nudged your knee. "It's alright, I'll protect you! Just stay behind my back and fight as many bad people as you can!"
Oh, that much you could do and it was easy bringing down human fighters. There were 30 of them against 5 of you. It was a piece of cake until-
Whatever these gang wanted to retrieve, it was important to them as they're willing to hold down 4 large turtles and cut their skin with their blades while you stood there with a grey suitcase in your hand, threatening to throw it into a pit of fire below you. Above you was a gap to the rooftop, a chance for you to escape with the suitcase to your reinforcements outside waiting for you; Casey.
You were about to escape until you see their leader taking out a shotgun that brings down large animals and you knew it was enough to kill the turtles with one shot. Their shells may be bulletproof but their physical bodies weren't.
"Give us the suitcase, little girl, or your mutant friend's head will explode in pieces." The gun pointed at Mikey's head and he exclaimed, trying to struggle his way out but there were more than 5 men holding him down.
"Run, y/n! Get out of here!" Raph shouted but all you heard was ringing in your ears. You froze. You started wheezing at the thought of your friends getting taken down by a shotgun.
You made a huge mistake.
You didn't remember a thing - as soon as your mind was clear, you were outside the now burnt down factory but the suitcase you thought you were holding was gone. Your fists formed into a ball and repeatedly hitting yourself.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
The ride back to the lair was dead silent, even Mikey didn't look too happy. The truck abruptly stopped at an empty undercross bridge, away from the main lights and city. The turtles stepped outside and this was it; you knew they were furious at something- or rather, someone.
"What the heck were you thinking, y/n? You had that suitcase with you and you had that chance to escape to Casey." Leo started, calm on the outside but pissed on the inside. He towered over you as he speaks, "If you didn't play hero, this case would've been closed."
"Why the heck did you stay up there?" Raph's critic came after.
"Now the suitcase is gone. It was our only source to ever find these gangs. They're tougher than the foot clan." Donnie remained calm but his arms were crossed staring at you. "All evidence of them existing, just gone."
"y/n.." no, not Mikey too. "You could've ran and save yourself. We'd be totally okay."
"They were gonna shoot you, Mike. I can't--"
"Didn't I say you weren't ready for this? And what did you do then? Full-on kunoichi, you say? Not even close to our level," Leo went up to your face, scaring you for the first time. "You screwed up our plans all because you were too cocky to admit you can't be like us. Master Splinter was wrong about you being the addition to our team."
Strike one: to the heart.
"If you weren't stupid enough to freeze like a deer caught in headlights, the cops wouldn't look at us like we're a joke. Thanks to you, by the way." Raph scoffed, eyes glaring at your shaking figure.
Strike two.
"If only you had stayed behind." You couldn't believe your ears when Donnie mumbled that but you caught on, tears pooling down your cheeks.
Strike three.
Mikey stayed silent the whole time they criticized you and went inside the truck. The 4 of them got so caught up in their own feelings and disappointment, they drove off back to the lair not realizing they left you behind in the streets all by yourself.
Just like that - something in you snapped and as the last tear dropped to the wet ground, so does your body.
Tumblr media
The beautiful April O'Neil entered the lair 5 days after the accident happened with Chinese food takeouts and Casey walking in behind her with boxes of pizzas. "Hey, guys! Food's here!" Casey called out and immediately all 4 turtles rushed towards their human friends. Mikey practically hogged two pizza boxes but Casey smacked his hand away. "Excuse you. Ladies first." He winked at April.
After the turtles thanked them, Leo broke the ice, "How's everything at the precinct, Case?"
"Actually, we got a lead on the gang's movement. We have our spy with them."
"That was quick." Donnie commented.
"Uh, have you heard from y/n lately?" Raph asked, causing tension in the air. While the turtles looked at each other guiltily, they failed to realize Casey and April sharing looks.
"Have you?" Donnie realized his human friends weren't answering. He turned to April this time. "April?"
"Wait-" Casey pulled April aside, far enough so the turtles don't hear them whispering, "We were instructed not to tell them, April. She said-"
"I know.. she said not to tell but--"
"Guys!" Raph's voice boomed the lair, flinching at how loud he was being. "Sorry but are you hiding something from us? Did something happen to y/n?"
All April could do right now was shaking her head, her facial expression gloomed.
Both April and Casey's phone dinged at the same time. Looking at each other curiously, they looked down their phones. Slowly, the message registered in their heads and without saying anything, they rushed out of the lair leaving the turtles bewildered.
The turtles haven't heard from April and Casey for 2 hours. Whatever the message they received, it was involving their 5th member; you.
Unable to sit still, the 4 of them followed Casey's GPS.
"Casey's at the PD?" Leo frowned. "Then there's nothing to worry about, right?" When Donnie didn't answer and looked as if he's concentrating on something, Leo caught on. "You hacked into Casey's phone and listening to the conversation?"
"What-- uhh yeah," Donnie chuckled guiltily. "But nothing's happening. He's just catching up with another case that's-- hey, it's April's voice!" Donnie put on a speaker for the rest to hear.
"Hey, how's everything going?" Casey asked her.
"It doesn't look good, Case.. They called me at 2am saying her heartbeat stopped from the toxins and managed to revive her back to life but then she had a seizure." April's voice trembled, followed by sniffing. "She was fine when we picked her up that night and told me the turtles were mad at her. They left her when she was dying, Case. I never thought--"
"It's okay."
"Wait, dying?" Mikey stepped back. "y/n's dying?"
"We don't know for sure it's y/n.. m-maybe it's--"
"y/n is a tough girl. She lasted long in that mission. I didn't even know she was stabbed and injured badly. She-- she's good at hiding her pain, April. At least we found her on time."
"T-They're talking about y/n!" Mikey was already sobbing.
"Toxins? Stabbed? Their blades were poisoned," Donnie barely whispered, stepping back in disbelief by what they just overhead. Raph was pacing in the background; Leo had his head down. They will always recall the night they criticize you - yes, they were disappointed they failed the mission but half of them feared for your life that night.
They nearly lost April to Shredder throwing her off Sacks building and they didn't want to repeat that mistake again but history repeats itself.
The PD had built a secret entry for the turtles' transportation to go through and that's where they're headed immediately after finding out what happened to you.
"Chief Vincent." The brothers walked into the PD, their tall forms towering over all the cops and staffs there. They were told to keep their existence a secrecy and they came over a lot for complicated missions so they're used to the turtles bursting into their department.
"Leonardo," Vincent greeted. "I don't remember calling you over about a case."
"We're not here for a case. We need your help with something." Leo started, then Donnie moved to the front handing her a canister with a blue chemical inside.
"This is for y/n.. we know what happened to her so I made an antidote for the toxin in her body. She'd feel more pain but this would detoxify her internal organs. She'll be in good shape after 1 week of bed rest." Donnie swallowed trying not to cry.
Don't cry, Don. Be strong.. for y/n.
"I will." Chief Vincent smiled in encouragement and put a hand on Donnie's large ones, "Don't worry. We have the best doctors to treat her. Keep her in your prayers," she flinched, "if you believe in those, though."
The antidote Donnie created worked, much to the doctors' surprise. They asked the genius behind the creation. After 1 painful week of your body detoxing, you finally opened your eyes to bright lights and the holter monitor annoying you. You finally recall the past events and your body shot up, forgetting the sharp pain on your lower abdomen. You hissed by the excruciating feeling.
"y/n, hey hey hey, it's me April." April held you back from moving so much. As if your reaction says it all, she sighed, "You got poisoned on your last mission. Did you remember?"
Oh yeah, you remember - when your body hit the ground, you were conscious for a while and pressed the emergency button to whoever's responding. The turtles didn't have their own personal phone, except Donnie's communication device, so it was April that came to the rescue. All you remember was being brought to the emergency room and doctors asking you questions. You blacked out after that.
"Yeah." you responded, voice half gone. April handed her water. "How long was I out?"
"15 days."
"Feels like centuries." You grumbled.
April laughed, "Actually, you died like twice and the hospital couldn't find other solutions to help you. Luckily, our friend created an antidote for you after they found out." You frowned. "I know you said not to tell them but Donnie hacked Casey's phone when they overheard me talking. He actually thought I didn't know." She winked at the end.
You finally got discharged and went straight to the Chief Vincent, who helped with your treatment.
"Chief, I'm sorry I screwed up on our last mission. Don't blame the turtles; they were trapped and I was the one holding the suitcase that night. I should've ran and hand it to you."
"Well, sometimes things don't go our way. But the good news, our medical team managed to track down the poison that came from your body and traced it to a well-known dealer in (F/C/N). Thanks to you, our team is already there apprehending them." She put a hand on your shoulder. "Good job, l/n."
"Good job but at the cost of my life." You grumbled.
April chuckled and put her arms around you. "Wanna see our turtle friends? They've been waiting for your return."
It felt like years since you last walked into the lair, when it's only been 15 days. Even though you missed the turtles, you were anxious. If they weren't so concerned about looking good infront of the humans and paid attention to your injury, none of this would have happened.
But you were at fault too and you accepted that.
"Guys!! Guess who's home!" April yelled out, surprising you a bit cause you were deep in your thoughts.
You heard loud footsteps running towards you and without warning, Mikey landed infront of you making you scream in surprise.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Chill, it's me Mikey! We're cool!" he stepped back after seeing your terrified expression.
The rest huddled up infront of you asking questions here and there until April pushed them away. "Guys, she just got discharged; go back a bit. And no Mikey, she did not see Rihanna at the hospital."
You waved meekly. "Hey, guys."
Raph couldn't help himself and hauled you up in a gentle hug, his chin over your shoulder. "You dumbass. Don't you ever do that again." He forgets about his dignity and sobbed after finally hugging you. Feeling your flesh against his. You were alive. You're in his arms.
Donnie came next and hugged you gently, your arms around his neck. Of course, you didn't miss him sniffing. "Thank goodness the antidote worked. I-I was desperate to make it for you a-and if it didn't work, y-y-y--"
"Okay, braniac." You pulled away laughing, wiping his overflowing tears from his cheek. "It worked and it was hell for me but my body is healthy, thanks to you." You kissed his forehead.
"And you--" you turned around to see Mikey waiting for his hug and you jumped into his arms. "If I die, who's going to finish our hip hop Christmas album?"
"I'm not finishing it without you, angel." Mikey sobbed.
Then finally, Leo. Man, he was getting antsy waiting for his turn to properly welcome you home. And apologize to you earnestly. When you turned around to hug Leo, he was bowing 90 degrees at you. Your eyes widened.
"I'm sorry for what I said to you," Leo remained still in his position. "I was angry and blinded by my pride that I overlooked my own team member and sister who was injured badly to the brink of death. For that, I'm truly sorry and I'm willing to accept any punishment you're giving me."
"Any punishment, you say?"
"Yes." His fists shaped into a ball.
"Buy me Baskin Robbins, choco mint flavoured and--" Leo looked up when you paused and thought he'd be seeing you angry or upset but instead sees you forming tears in your eyes, "--a hug from you. I haven't gotten a hug from you ever since I started my training."
Leo reacted and hugged you so tight you might suffocate to death but you didn't care.

so i got angry trying to catch an octopus. and now its 4:30 am and i finished a little something about how horrible it must be to be the farmer when your player is crazy stupid and trying to achieve everything immediately like they're a fucking speedrunner or something (<- thats me. i am like that)
putting it under readmore. unedited since im only getting two hours of sleep today even without editing
Solo Stress | Farmer & Elliott
| they/them for the farmer | 1693 words
It is a beautiful morning in the Pelican Town, and the local farmer is yelling at the sea like it just insulted their mother. It is barely seven.
You get used to it always being a bit noisy, living right by the sea, but swearing that was so loud it almost sounded like it was right inside of his cabin overpowered the usual sound of waves and seagulls quite a bit. Enough so that Elliott shot straight up from his bed before even properly waking up, running outside with his heart sinking to his stomach, fully expecting to find someone injured there, or to see fire, or a flood, or something of sorts. He rubbed his eyes, adjusting to bright rays of sun shining right into his face, and looked around the beach.
The area was peaceful enough. Definitely no natural disasters happening. All Elliott could find that was out of the ordinary were a kicked over bucket, a few sardines flopping helplessly on the sand next to it, and the town's newest resident, who stood by the edge of the water, screaming and gesturing around at such speed that the fishing rod in one of their hands hit the water from time to time, sending splashes half their height up in the air. After a minute of consideration, he called out to them before walking closer.
Olli whipped around faster than Elliott has ever seen a person turn in his life, fishing rod drawing a half-circle deep in the sand. Their, honestly, quite terrifying scowl dropped when they saw him, to his relief. The second that they looked at him like that was enough for him to reconsider whether it was a good idea to ask them what happened. He did so anyways.
"Fucking octop- octip- octopi, is what happened!" they hissed, throwing their hand up. Purple metal of their fishing rod shined brightly, catching a ray of sun, before it fell to the ground a good distance away from the shore. The farmer seemed to not even notice they threw it, caught up in their anger. "Motherfuckers get my fucking bait, almost break my arm thrashing on the hook worse than the god damned Legend, and then they rip my line like it's nothing! I've hooked two dozen of them just this summer, and you know how many I pulled out in the end? Fucking none!" The bucket almost joined the rod in the sand, but ended up falling several meters closer to the treeline. Elliott didn't know people could kick something this hard before. "Fucking none! They are just some fucking fish! What the hell am I supposed to do to catch at least one alredy?!"
He was, frankly, stumped here. This must've been the first time anyone in the town has seen Olli this angry, and it was over some bad luck with fishing. Elliott wished someone else was dealing with this right now. Unfortunately, Willy just left for a fishing trip on his newly repaired boat. Oh well.
"I... suppose, uh, out of everyone in town, Willy would be the only one who could give you any advice on that... Would you like to have some tea, perhaps? I would invite you to saloon, if it weren't this early in the morning," he tried. If he couldn't offer any advice, then distracting Olli probably was his best chance to prevent them from doing sonething stupid. Like smashing their fishing rod in half. Or fighting an octopus with a sword. He wouldn't be surprised if they tried that.
The farmer dragged a palm across their face to calm down, taking a deep breath, and just nodded in response. Their shoulders sagged as they followed Elliott to his cabin.
The Moonlight Farm was one of the best ones you could find in the country. Even if it couldn't compete in output with huge corporate farms, it definitely won all awards when it came to the quality of produce. It was almost unbelievable that the smell of starfruit that filled the room came from the dried cubes in the tea Elliott served to his guest and not a fresh fruit, so sweet and intense it was. The writer often wondered how Olli managed to achieve so much in two short years since their arrival to the abandoned, barren farm. Right now wasn't the best time to ask, though.
Olli was cutting a pomegranate with a pocket knife when he turned from his kitchen cabinets to the little table with a pair of cups in his hands. He grabbed a bowl for the seeds after setting down the cups.
"Brought this for you," the farmer said, smiling shallowly without looking away from the fruit when they heard the clink of the bowl placed in front of them.
"You are such a kind friend." Elliott sat on the other side of the table and smiled back. "You were planning to visit me?"
"Just wanted to bring a gift. There are a few more, too."
They pulled a bundle of cloth with several pomegranates inside from their bag that sat on the floor by their stool and placed it on the table. Each fruit looked pristine and absolutely perfect, like no fruit Elliott has ever seen anywhere but Pelican Town. He thanked Olli again, and they offered him the same faint smile.
"You seem really upset still. Are you trying to catch an octopus for something important, or is there something else bothering you?"
They didn't reply for a minute, popping the seeds out of the pomegranate in their hands into the bowl. They looked somewhere past it, however, eyes lost and unblinking.
"Uh... Just... Slept bad tonight and overreacted because of that, I guess... It's fine, don't worry, it's alright, it's- It's alright."
It really did not seem alright. Olli just pretended to focus on cleaning the fruit.
Elliott studied them while they seemed to not even notice his eyes on them. He didn't get a chance to look at them up close often, really. They were always around, and chatted with him (and everyone else in town) every day, but most of the time, they were in one place only for a few minutes before running off. The longest they stayed somewhere besides the farm was when they went fishing. Or to the mines, from what he's heard from Robin, who sometimes saw then enter them early in the morning and leave past sunset.
"Are you getting enough rest, usually?" he asked, realizing now that he has never seen them without these dark circles under their eyes.
"Yea, it was just... Um... Baahrbara had a lamb late into the night, I had to stay with her, you know, to see if they're alright. Just a..." Olli took a deep breath, poorly trying to hide either a sigh or a yawn. "Just one of those things."
It seemed like that one time he saw them arrive to the tide pools well past midnight when he got carried away writing was, perhaps, not just an one-time thing.
"And you were here today since?.."
Their face fell. Weak smile they held gave place to a sad, tired expression, and they slumped into themselves.
"...You know, don't you?" they asked quietly, not looking at him.
Elliott reached across the table to place his hand on their shoulder.
"You do a lot of hard work every day. You know you should take better care of yourself, right? Nobody would want to see you hurt yourself by accident because you were tired."
Olli stayed silent, bringing their legs up to hug them. Their long hair obscured their eyes, but Elliott was almost certain he saw tears behind their bangs.
"It's okay, Olli. You've helped the town so much, and you're still doing a lot of great things for us all. Do something for yourself, too, okay? You don't have to wear yourself out this much."
"People need the farm, y'know?" Their voice was definitely watery now. First time anyone in the town has seen them cry, too, probably. Elliott got up to hug them around the shourders. "I- We don't have the JojaMart anymore, I have to work harder so I can give enough to town, I can't just not do this! And there are public plans that need finances, so I need to sell enough to cover that, too, and- and- Yoba, I j- I just can't, Elliott, I have to work this hard! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
He didn't say anything, patting their back while they cried into their knees. It only lasted for a brief minute, and then they forced their tears to stop, curling up tighter and hiding their face more.
Elliott fixed their hair, trying to look them into the eyes, and Olli glanced up for a moment. He smiled warmly at them.
"I'm sure Marnie wouldn't mind helping you with animals, right? And Shane need something to do, since he doesn't have a job right now. I can ask Leah to help with the plants, and most people would be happy to help with the harvests, if they have free time. This can even be a new little festival, don't you think?"
"They already have enough to do without this, it's my farm, I-"
"Clearly you can't do all that you want to do alone, Olli. It wouldn't hurt to ask. Think about it for a while, at least, okay?"
"...Okay. Okay. I- Thank you. I'm... I'm gonna ask Shane. That's... I think he will like my chickens. Okay."
"And take at least today off, please."
They looked up at him, eyes wet and pained, and he cut them off before they could say a word.
"For me?"
"...If it's for you."
"Thank you. I'll help you bring your things to the farm. Go to bed when we get there, you can always talk to people later."
Olli slipped off the stool right into hugging him.
Elliott collected their discarded bucket and fishing rod as they both headed out to the other side of the town. He hoped they will follow his advice. He really wanted to see them happy.

A love confession
“I threw that fight… with the halfling.” I blurt it out without thinking. Her face says she was lost in her own thoughts before I interrupted. 
“What?”
“The halfling,” I poke the fire with my stick, trying to decide how to continue, “I could’ve beat him without even breaking a sweat. A couple good punches, and he would’ve been out. It was supposed to be short and sweet. Something to keep the people entertained between the bigger fights that night. Everyone put their money on me to win, but I fucked it up.”
The firelight dances across her face as she sits there staring at me. She’s focused. I continue. 
“It was just one of those days. I couldn’t stop thinking about my sister, and I got stuck in my brain. I purposefully missed punches. I left my flanks open and took blows I should’ve easily dodged. It’s not like he hit hard, but he was fast. I think he knew he would lose, and that’s why he brought those claws. Anything to give himself even the slimmest chance.” I pause, holding the memory behind my eyes and reliving the burn of the claws raking up my face. “These scars remind me daily of my failures. How I couldn’t save my sister. I wanted to feel something so bad; I just had to go and make it permanent.” a nervous chuckle escapes, trying to mask the anxiety in my stomach. “But I’d much rather have these scars than lose someone I love again.” 
“Why are you telling me this?” Her words were soft, full of gentle curiosity. 
“I would take all the scars in the world to keep you. Any slice. Any stab. Any tear of my flesh, I would take it tenfold for you. To keep you safe. To keep you alive. To love you.”
———
After debating posting this for a hot minute and with the kind encouragement from an internet stranger and from my dear friend who told me to post it to begin with, I decided to finally share a piece of writing. I've never considered myself a writer (I'm very much a math kid), but this OC has been living in my head rent-free for years. I could easily talk about her for hours, as I'm sure many people could about their own OCs.
For a smidge of context, my OC, Aly, is a half-elf fighter in a D&D 5e campaign (I don't want to hear anything about us playing 5e; get over it). She has existed at the edges of my mind for as long as I can remember, but I only finally discovered her name and wrote a fully fleshed-out backstory a few years ago. Anyway, she and my DM's PC, Christina, are stuck in a slow burn (I love it so much), and I have been ruminating on how Aly might admit she loves Christina in the future. Hence the above.
Beyond this first piece of writing, I've written a POV of Aly's "Canon Event," as I like to call it, and almost 30 poems from her perspective. I've even painted her a few times. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to share those too.
If you made it this far, my appreciation for you is more than words could describe. Thank you for reading.

peculiar sidekick
pairing: childe x gen!reader
about: you turned into a seelie pet??
a/n: wrote this with dckz but i didn't continue so childe's one was the only one complete😭
i wouldn't say requests are open but you're free to leave suggestions/ideas!
heads up: gender isn't specified
Tumblr media
how you turned to a seelie is that a treasure hoarder that managed to get lucky threw one of his potions to you and he dared made a seelie potion just so his victims aren't able to yell for help as they uselessly floated around
he would've took you back to his other part of his gang to experiment on you if childe didn't show up, known as being as a fatui harbinger dead set in liyue for business, he set off hurriedly
childe took notice of your clothes on the ground and blushed, looking elsewhere if you stripped and went to bathe somewhere
but your clothes were near a camp where multiple notes and traces of fire so he assumed you took down the treasure hoarders before bathing???
but before he went to investigate, he whirled around to see a seelie squirming around your clothes
childe holds the seelie pet like a kitten as it squeked endlessly and started thrashing around to let go out of childe's pinch
he guessed it was you eventhough he sounded unsure but with the way you constantly poke at the bracelet you wore, he then knew it was you
he still couldn't grasp on how tiny you are and let go of you where you clumsily floated around above his head and cursed at him (though he won't know it was a curse with how you sounded like a squeky toy)
he was then enthuastic about it
no way, your sparring partner becoming a seelie pet?!?!?? what are the chances???
he sees you like a little plushie and doesn't take you seriously at all because the sounds you make were just a fuel to bother you more
"does it tickle? you do! my fingers feel like i'm poking through water~" this was quite exotic but after all he fell into the abyss after all so he wasn't even a bit concerned when his partner changed into a seelie. there was defitenely a cure for whatever made you this way, after all a treasure hoarder did make a potion, not an abyss herald.
"you look more better like this, a pet i can groom; you won't get hungry right?" he touched you everywhere, even booping your cute butt; i don't think he's even finding your mouth. or if he was, he was doing a failing attempt of searching for it.
"say, where's your mouth? in case i need to feed you, i can't let my comrade starve!" pulling out some bread, he wanted you to pop it into your mouth but since you didn't take it, he pushed it into you. and it evaporated! did you ate it? or perhaps your slickness just melted it somehow?
and he hums as he plays around with you
though you dislike being a play toy with how he constantly nudges you,
it was fun floating around, doing loops in the air and slipping through childe's fingers
it would sure be hell though if you couldn't keep up with him since you aren't actually a seelie
sure you floated around like nothing and you tried entertaining him by staying by his side while sparring but there will never not be a time where he hits you and you fly back 30 metres away from him (okay maybe not that extremely far but he doesn't even notice and looks around like an idiot when he does notice)
but you know what's the best thing about being a HYDRO seelie?
it was cooling down childe and his excuse of watching you roll around on his forehead, he just adored you; he could drink you up!
though he had his own vision, he found this a lot more convenient because who knew having little y/n thump around his head like a pet would be so adorable
but alas he couldn't have you small like this forever
the next day he finally decides to change you back, after all he can't fight with a blob in the air whose equal to tonia's stuffies she usually shows to ajax when he visits
within an hour or two, he finds out where exactly that treasure hoarder was
the bully that turned you to a seelie nearly pissed himself out of fear when he noticed the mess of ginger approaching him but childe smiles, knowing precense alone will scare him to giving the cure for seelie-itis
he rummaged through his bag as well as stepping back from childe, slipping a pill into the seelie who marched (flew) over to him and in a flash, the treasure hoarder was shut down with a kick in the throat
you stood over him, back to normal as you spat on the ground where the treasure hoarder lay
being in a small body was annoying enough since you aren't able to do the things you do, but dealing with a manbaby who didn't take you seriously was like putting hot burning coal directly on the flesh of your ass
limbs aching and stretching with a groan; how grateful you were to be human again
you were about to punch childe in the nose when he suddenly tugged himself towards you with his coat
his breath caught in throat made you wary of why he suddenly pulled you in his embrace (did he not like seelie you?)
his warmth and the material of his clothes rubbing against you made you realise one thing;
you needed a new pair of clothes.

Dreaming Of You
Genre: Angst, Fluff
Summary: The spark Togo felt for Ryoba the day she helped him beat up a local gang never disappeared. After over 30 years she still holds a special place in his heart, and perhaps someone feels the same way.
Tumblr media
Togo leaned on his bedside windowsill whilst smoking a cigarette. He gazed up at the night sky, thinking of her. He felt stupid for not being able to let go of the decades old memory of the married woman. He had his chance yet he couldn’t even build up the courage to confess his love to her.
Ryoba Aishi was the most beautiful name he had ever heard. Ryoba Aishi – the girl who was crazy enough – to help him fight off a local gang back in the 80s. Back then, Togo admired Ryoba’s courage yet at the same time was alarmed by it. How could a girl from a seemingly normal family be so bold? Ryoba was one of a kind, a once-in-a-lifetime woman for sure.
Togo took a hit, wondering if Ryoba ever reminisces on her moments with him as he does to her. Togo disregarded that thought: Ryoba was happily married. He deeply inhaled as he let his thoughts wander to senior prom of 1989.
“You want to go to prom with me?” Asked Ryoba with a dumbstruck expression, there weren’t many things that caught her off guard.
“Togo.. I'm sorry but my heart belongs to someone else.” The raven-haired girl spoke with remorse there weren’t many things that made her feel bad. Ryoba killed people weekly and felt nothing, yet her heart sank when she rejected one boy she didn’t even love. What was going on?
Togos’ smile slightly faltered, his grip on the bouquet he was holding tightened. He gritted his teeth at the sharp pain he felt in his heart. The delinquent slowly started laughing in a mocking tone to cover up any hint that Ryoba’s rejection hurt him.
"You actually thought I was asking you out to that stupid dance, huh? The guys dared me to do that shit for a good chunk of cash. Don't get me wrong though Ryoba, you're cool.” Togo swiftly threw the flowers to the ground and turned his heel. He felt his body tremble as he took deep breaths, trying to ignore his heart.
Ryoba watched him walk away with a bittersweet feeling. Something wasn’t right. Ryoba had won Jokichi’s heart and was now dating him, so why did she care about Togo’s feelings? Why did she care about the falter in his smile? Why was she standing feeling as if she were put on trail for her emotions?
Ryoba loved Jokichi, and only Jokichi right?
Then something in Ryoba’s head clicked and she no longer cared for how Togo felt. All that mattered was her boyfriend. She had done the impossible for him, Togo didn’t matter, nobody did. All that mattered was Ryoba’s love for Jokichi.
She went to walk in the opposite direction something forced her to pause. She turned her head and stared at the bouquet. What was it now? Why was she stopping? It was just a basic bouquet. She slowly looked around to see if anyone was watching her. Hastily, she scooped the bouquet up and hurried home.
Now, thirty years later, Ryoba sat by her kitchen windowsill. Her husband and daughter were sound asleep, the two of them symbolizing the life Ryoba had made for herself. She held a cup of tea in her hand, taking a sip every so often as she stared out at the night sky. In her other hand, she held a photo book filled with memories of her youth.
She took a sip of her hot tea before looking back down at the page she had settled at. A bittersweet feeling settling in her as she felt herself slightly smile. Despite them being pressed, those flowers still looked as beautiful as they did that spring evening back in 1989.

let it fall on you
Tumblr media
Player: Antoine Griezmann Words: 863 Warnings: None, fluff, slightly suggestive ending Request: Snowball fight - you know that idiot is going to bring out his competitive side for this and not settle until he has a face full of snow or is on his back bc she's pushed him over.
For @footballffbarbiex, merry Christmas! I hope you like it <3
---
“Hey babe, catch!” Antoine called from the other side of the car. She had been too focussed on not losing her footing on the frozen over snowy path leading from their holiday rental to the car to see what her boyfriend had gotten up to. They had plans to meet his parents for lunch before getting some last minute Christmas shopping in so her mind was preoccupied with making sure she locked the door and going through the list of who still needed buying for in her head. His parents had kindly offered for them to stay at their house but they had politely declined. There was no way Antoine could keep his hands to himself during this getaway (and she knew there was no way she could remain quiet enough if they shared a wall with his parents), so they had rented a cabin roughly 30 minutes from his parents’ house instead.
It wasn’t until she felt whatever he had thrown hit her against her shoulder, that she realised Antoine had thrown a snowball at her.
“Son of a-.. I could’ve slipped!” She stared daggers at him, wiping the snow off her coat. 
“Sorry chérie,” Antoine replied, but his grin and sparkling eyes told her he was anything but. 
“Oh, you’re on,” she muttered and quickly gathered some snow with her gloved hands, packing it down tightly. She threw the snowball as hard as she could, but of course Antoine’s reflexes were a lot quicker than hers and he ducked out of the way. She heard his laughter before another snowball flew past her head, hitting the tree behind her. 
“Aim’s a little off babe,” she called out as she hunched down behind a holly bush. She quickly made a small pile of snowballs, and judging by the lack of snowballs being hurled her way, Antoine was doing the same. She knew that if she wanted him to lose, she had to work smarter not harder. She carefully made her way around to the back of the car, stopping every so often to make sure Antoine hadn’t caught on yet. 
“You’re awfully quiet, chérie,” Antoine called out. She had just reached the boot of the car and hunched down, biting down on her lip to stifle the laugh that was bubbling up. She could see the gears turning in his head, trying to figure out what she was doing. 
“Babe? Are you okay?” he asked, getting up from his crouch behind the car. This was her chance to get even. She carefully moved closer, snowball at the ready as she came up behind him. 
“I’m just peachy,” she replied, waiting for him to turn around before throwing the snowball in his face. She managed to hit him half against his forehead and half against his beanie. Her sneak attack caught him off guard and Antoine lost his footing on a patch of frozen over snow. She laughed as she watched him tumble down flat on his back with a thud and a groan. 
“You know what they say, revenge is best served cold,” she said as she came standing next to him. Antoine glared at her, but accepted her hand to help him back up. As soon as he took hold of her hand she knew she’d made a mistake when his eyes twinkled mischievously and his lips curled up in that grin she had come to associate with trouble. 
“Antoi-..” The rest of the sentence died on her lips as Antoine pulled her down. She let out a shriek as she fell on top of him. 
“What was that about revenge?” he asked her, a twinkle in his bright blue eyes. She hit him against his chest before trying to roll off him. Antoine tightened his arms around her and held her to his chest. 
“You know how much I love having you on top of me, chérie,” he murmured, his eyes darkening. Heat spread from her core throughout her body at his words. Antoine had always had that effect on her; turning light teasing and flirting into dirty promises in the span of seconds which always left her more than a little flushed and breathless. 
“I know, but it’s minus 5 degrees. I am not ready to lose a nipple to frostbite,” she retorted, trying once more to get up. Antoine let out a laugh at her words. She finally managed to get up from the ground and held out her hand once more so she could pull him up as well. This time Antoine accepted the help, but kept hold of her hand when he stood back upright. He pulled her closer to him, kissing her softly, which quickly became more heated. She gasped when she felt his cold fingers against the skin of her neck as he deepened the kiss. 
“We don’t have time… Your parents-..”
“I’ll text my mother that the roads aren’t cleared yet. No way to get to town safely. Oh what a shame,” he interrupted as he moved them back towards the front door of the A-frame cabin. 
“There’s always tomorrow,” he added, unlocking the front door and moving them into the living room.

of course, I'd love to! may I add that I look up to you! 😁 you're amazing!
Sickie Jimin
25. "No, I'm starving."
30. "Yup! I'm right as rain."
Tw: nausea, mentions of emeto and V********
___________________________________________
BTS had just finished dance practice. They were waiting for the ride to dinner. They were being taken to a restaurant just outside of town. They were extremely tired and ready to just go home and sleep but the reservation was already made ahead of time by the staff.
Jimin was starving. Working on the dance and new songs really took all his energy today. He was sure the members felt the same. If they didn't get to this place soon his stomach would eat its self. It was dark outside they'd finished practice quite late at night. They shouldn't even be eating this late it always messed with his stomach when he did.
They eventually made it. To the restaurant. Most of the members were knocked out. even namjoon could be heard snoring lying against yoongi. All the members woke up and got out of the car. once they were all out they headed to the restaurant.
Jimin's stomach growled loudly as he walked. Jungkook who was walking beside him heard it and giggled " Yoy hungry Jiminie hyung" Jungkook giggled loudly. " No, I'm starving !" Jimin elaborates putting his hand on his talkative stomach. They got a table and waited for the waiter to come back. They ordered their drinks. Most of them geting beers and sprite.
Bts sit and wait to order. talking, laughing, and messing around. All accept Jimin. They had waited so long to heat that hunger and nausea began to set in. to his luck the waiter came. They almost didn't notice when the waiter had come back. They ordered their food. They were so loud and playful despite being tired. Jimin Hadn't felt like joining. He was too hungry and becoming nauseous because of it.
They ordered their food. One by one. They all planned to share but each member wanted something specific. Jimin order off the menu but didn't really care what he ate he just needed it to come fast. Jimin now held his stomach in his hands trying to wait for the best he could. Jungkook noticed how sick his hyung was starting to look.
"Uhhh, Jimin? " Jimin turned to look at jungkook who was tapping Jimin's shoulder trying to get his attention. "are you alright?" Jungkook looked Jimin up and down. Jimin says trying to put enthusiasm in his voice "Yup! I'm right as rain." Jungkook was about to say something but he was interrupted by the waiter with food. Jimin was glad Jungkook didn't get the chance to ask any more questions cause then he'd find out that Jimin lied. Jimin didn't want them to worry and plus the food was here now he was gonna be fine after he ate.
Jimin was ravenous he like the other members ate everything. They all ate quickly and fiercely though the meals were steaming. They ate threw the heat blowing on their food and scoffing it down. Jimin and Taehyung almost fought over the last piece of meat but the fight ended when Rm asked the waiter the bring more.
after eating everyone was extremely stuffed. Jimin's stomach was extremely bloated and he rubbed at it every time his tummy would speak. His stomach jostled as he walked out of the restaurant with the other members.
they all sat where they were before. Jungkook fell asleep on Jimin's shoulder before the car even start moving. He slowly began to fall asleep himself to the rhythm of the car. Then it hit him with a series of potholes in the road. He was immediately awoken. Jimin felt groggy and nausous. His stomach painfully dropped. Jostling with the movement of the car. He tried settling back down. figuring that it was only a little bit of carsickness. Though he'd be fine if he just slept till they were there. Not even 3 mins late did he wake up again. He started to panic. He was gonna puke.
He's gotta tell someone to get the driver to stop. But it was too late. He could barely talk. "Uhhh guys I-" Jimin lurked forward. He gaged. Jungkook was still knocked out beside him. J-hope was in front of them and turned around quickly once he heard a sickening slat. " UHHH NAMJOON" Jhope panicked. "JIMIN'S THROWING UP! " Jhope yells waking up every sleeping person in the car.
Jimin retched. spattering sick all over the seat in front of him. Jhope held on to his both and gagged in his hand. Namjoon looked back at the members. " this is gonna be a long night..." he murmured.

Thanks for requesting I hope you enjoy it!

✨ Astral Lovers ✨
Chapter 6
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Lily POV
When I open my eyes I only see the ceiling of my bedroom.
A tear escapes from my eyes.
I lie down staring at nothing for I don't know how long.
My gaze wanders without a fixed goal.
Only afterwards I realize that I am wearing the clothes of the previous evening.
When I went up to my room last night, I threw myself directly on the bed.
Too busy with events to even have the strength to think about taking a shower and putting on a pajamas.
Last night...
I sigh.
I sit up bringing my knees to my chest, I wrap my arms around them where I rest my left cheek.
I am facing the window.
It is still dark outside.
The clock on the wall strikes 4:10 AM.
My mind immediately flies to the dinner with my father.
It all seems so absurd.
I didn't think he really missed mom, they only fight in the end.
And then there was that secret.
What I never had the courage to reveal to my parents.
Dad had prepared the divorce papers.
I had found them one day, by pure chance.
My mom was already ill, we had been diagnosed for about a week.
At the hospital we were asked for insurance documents, for health coverage.
So, after I got home from school, I took a shower and started looking for those documents.
I didn't want to waste my father's time so he could go straight from the office to the hospital without the hassle of having to go home and waste more time.
Wasting more time that he could have spent with her.
I thought I was doing both of them a favor.
He seemed to be getting closer to her, they seemed to be the close-knit couple of when I was little.
And instead I was wrong.
I rummaged through mom's drawers but found nothing.
But then I remembered that dad kept all the bookkeeping in his office.
So I ran downstairs and went into his study.
His Sancta Sanctorum.
Behind a double door, of heavy mahogany, was a huge room.
Full of shelves, almost to the ceiling, and filled with hundreds of books.
In the center of the room is his carved desk from the end of the 19th century.
My father's great pride.
I found it creepy.
Made of boise de rose, with the four legs carved with intricate weaves of ivy and here and there a few faces of cherubs.
But they had nothing of angelic.
They have fixed and empty gazes.
As if they saw through time and space, hiding disturbing secrets.
I open the various drawers and start looking.
I can't find anything until I find a file in the bottom drawer.
I opened it because it didn't show any details externally.
Maybe luck was on my side and I would find what I was looking for.
Instead...
I read it all greedily.
I remember having to sit on the ground, my head spinning and I was nauseous.
I couldn't believe it.
He wanted a divorce.
He was at her bedside pretending to be desperate and instead he would come out clean.
Why does he raise a fuss about the beautiful person of him asking for a divorce?Eventually he would be a widower.
He would be the poor grief-stricken man left to raise a troubled teenage daughter.
Eventually she would die.
I wanted to throw up.
But I took the hit and put on a mask.
I pretended nothing happened.
Although outside I seemed the portrait of the peace of mind, inside me I screamed and burned.
I had hell in my heart and soul.
That was the moment I began to hate that man.
I cross my legs and hide my face in the palms of my hands.
But now, after our heart-to-heart chat, I could have given him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe with mom's illness he realized that deep down they still loved each other and that they were just lost along the way.
That together he could face everything, maybe even defeat cancer.
I take another look at the clock.
It's 4:30 AM.
I decide to get up and take a shower, at 6 I should have been at work.
I get up with a sigh and go to the bathroom.
In front of the mirror I begin to undress.
I open the first buttons of the shirt but then I remember to take off the necklace and earrings first.
I tilt my head slightly so that through the mirror I can see the hook of the earring and remove it.
Removed the first I go for the second.
But I make a horrible discovery.
The earring is not there.
No.
No.
No no no.
It can not be.
I run back to my room, taking care not to make any noise, and begin to search.
I check on the bed, take off the sheets and blankets and throw them on the floor.
Turned my desk and jewelry box upside down.
I kneel on the floor, feeling it inch by inch with both hands.
Nothing, I can't find it.
I go down to the kitchen hoping that I have lost it there.
I leave my room and go down the stairs without even touching the ground.
My eyes becomes wet, I can feel it but I push back the tears.
Mu chest hurts so bad.
"Please.Please jump out.Please" I murmur under my breath.
"Hey what are you doing?Do you know what time it is?"
I don't even turn around.
I limit myself only to responding on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
"The earring.I lost my earring."
My father doesn't seem to understand so he goes around me to parry him in front of me.
"What are you talking about Elisabeth?"
"Don't call me Elisabeth!" I explode.
"Mom's earrings.Her favorites.I only had one in my ear this morning"
Tears break their bank.
"Maybe you lost it from Jhon.Or on the street"
"You don't help, dad!"
"I'm just saying you need to calm down.It will come out"
"What if it doesn't?I know this will look stupid to you but they were her favorites.She loved them.Me too.She gave them to me when she was on that damn hospital bed.It was her last gesture of love for me"
I'm sobbing now.
My father comes over and puts his hand on my shoulder.
I'm tempted to shake him off but I hold back.
"As I have already told you I am convinced that it will come out.Now prepare yourself otherwise you will be late for work" and so saying he takes his newspaper, his coffee and leaves the house.
"I'm sure it will come out"
I imitate his voice.
"Dumbass!"
With a heavy heart as a boulder I go back to the bathroom.
I finish undressing and throw myself under the boiling water.
In contact with water, my skin releases a fragrance that teases my mind.
Sandalwood and bergamot.
Steve's bubble bath.
How the hell is that possible?
God I feel my head explode.
I begin to cry even harder.
The shower washes away the tears which are promptly replaced by the others.
For a moment with the earring drama I had forgotten about Steve.
And now him had surfaced.
As if a bomb had gone off in my head.
Like a punch in the stomach.
I do not know what to do.
I'm tired.
Mentally tired.
What if I'm just going crazy?
But what if my brain had something wrong?
I shake my head leaving everything out and try to prepare myself in time so as not to be fired.
I retrace the road from the previous evening with my eyes glued to the asphalt.
With the hope of seeing my little earring shine.
A simple butterfly with wings studded with aquamarines.
Blue like his eyes.
That's enough.
I need to stop.
I arrive at the bar more disconsolate than ever.
I ask Jhon if he has seen it by chance but he replies in the negative.
But soon after he notices that I'm quite upset so he promises me that he would keep his eyes open and that he would ask the cleaning company if they noticed anything during their shift.
"Thanks Jhon.It would mean a lot to me"
"It's ok Lily, don't worry" he replies.
He may seem like a gruff and crazy type but he is absolutely not like that.
The classic appearance deceives.
6 feet tall, weighing almost 100kg, with both arms totally tattooed and long red hair.
I cannot deny that at first glance he incurs a certain fear.
But if you get to know him well he is a good and kind man.
Dedicated to his work and family.
His wife Mary and the twins Cassidy and Kayla.
I start with my job and fortunately it is Monday.
This means it will be a calm morning.
Just a few regular customers.
So I get lost in my thoughts.
Tonight's dream was incredible.
Starting with how Steve saved me from those three men to how he looked at me once we got to his house.
How he lingered on my wet blouse.
I remember having to squeeze my legs together, looking for a relief that would never come.
Not by the hand of him at least.
And the work shift passes like this, between memories and worries.
At the end of the shift, my head is full of too many images that only destabilize me more and more.
Mostly they are thoughts that portray me and Steve possibly naked.
And then still too many thoughts.
Too many questions.
No answers.
I run home.
After spending all day fantasizing about what might have happened if I didn't break the kiss.
I can't wait to take a cold shower and go to sleep.
I lie down on the bed still wet from the shower, wrapped in my soft bathrobe.
My mind now flies.
I go back to imagining Steve's tongue that sweet but firm enters my mouth.
My mouth that responds immediately by moving following his pace.
My hands that go down to the bottom hem of his shirt and then slip them underneath. My hands touching defined and tense muscles due to increasing excitement.
His hands move from my face to caress my breasts through the fabric of the t-shirts.
A moan leaves my lips as his mouth descends on my jaw and then leaves a trail of fire along my neck.
I feel his tongue lick the portion of skin between the neck and the collarbone.
Then go up to the ear, then bite it and whisper "Will you be a goodgirl for me tonight?"
I moan even louder.
And I also moan in reality.
I remove the edges of the bathrobe and begin to caress the inside of my thigh with the tips of my fingers.
Slowly I touch along my fold, already hot and wet.
I do up and down with my finger.
I bite my lip.
I guess Steve is doing it.
His fingers.
Carefully I push a finger into my center.
I shiver.
I begin to move it slowly, in and out.
Steve's eyes the only thing I see in front of me.
I insert a second finger and arch my back.
The bathrobe slips uncovering a breast, I grab it with my free hand and tickle the nipple.
Then I drop the hand until with the tips of my fingers I touch the clit.
I caress it and then pinch it.
I instinctively spread my legs even more.
Then I start massaging it, drawing circles with my fingertips while the other hand works from the inside.
Tapping every possible point until I find the right one.
I imagine Steve's face focused on giving me pleasure.
His eyes full of lust as he licks his fingers imbued with my sex moisture in a slow and excruciating way.
An orgasm overwhelms me.
Unexpectedly strong.
I try to catch my breath.
I turn on my side.
I don't believe what I just did.
At this rate, I will never get out of this situation.
And I honestly don't even know if I want to.
Satisfied, I fall asleep with a hint of a smile on my lips.
This time it is broad daylight and I am directly in front of Steve's apartment.
Perhaps with practice I am beginning to manage the situation better.
I knock.
I knock again but I don't get an answer.
Maybe he's at work.
But where exactly does a super hero work?
Does he have a secret place?
A cave?
Like Batman?
These absurd thoughts of mine are interrupted by a deep male voice behind me.
"Erm... sorry?Who are you?" he questions me.
I observe him.
Eyes blue as the dusk sky.
Unkempt beard and wild black locks of hair fall softly on his neck.
He has a black metal hand with gold veins.
"You are Bucky, right?"
It's him, Steve's best friend.
For a moment I can see confusion and surprise in his eyes.
The next moment he realizes.
His eyes harden.
I think he doesn't like me at all.
"You must be Lily.Then you really exist..."
If only he knew the truth.
"Petite and brunette.Now I understand why Steve has lost his mind" Bucky murmurs thoughtfully.
"Ok, this is groos"
I tell him blushing both for what he said and for the thought that I could be Steve's ideal woman.
"You shouldn't be his best friend?" I accuse him with an amused note in my voice.
His arrogance make me want to bother him.
"You know what?" he tells me getting closer and closer
"You can also have a nice clean face and use your long eyelashes to charm others.To charm Steve.But it doesn't work with me doll"
Now we are face to face.
He is also very tall, not as tall as Steve, but I am still forced to tilt my head back to be able to look him in the eye.
For a moment we stare into each other's eyes.
I would like to run away but I won't be intimidated by him.
He notices my change of attitude, he knows that I am challenging him.
And he accepts the challenge.
"Steve is my best friend and I will never let a girl take advantage of him.Of his goodness, of his big heart" he exclaims harshly.
"Especially from a girl who doesn't even deign to give him an explanation for his constant escapes.First from the bar, then from his house"
Ok this hurts.
But I soften my gaze.
The way he loves Steve shines through his every word and I can't hate him for that.
The way he loves him is pure.
I'm glad they are friends.
Yes I hurt Steve with my behavior, I know.
There is only one solution and I am here for that very reason.
"It's not what looks like Bucky. It's something more...complicated..."
I croak in a faint voice
"I would never hurt him intentionally!You have to believe me!"
I'm on the verge of tears.
He realizes it and seems to want to tell me something but I lose focus when I see Steve coming behind him.
But he's not alone, with him there is a beautiful woman.
Shit.
My gaze falls on my shoes.
Unable to look at him.
Bucky notices my reaction and softens his gaze.
There is a moment of awkward silence.
In my ears only the sound of my heartbeat and the echo of Bucky's words.
He is right I have to let him go.
The first to break the silence is the girl in the company of Steve.
Her crystalline voice make me look up at her.
"Ok Steve see you soon.Hi Bucky!"
"And hello to you too" she says, turning in my direction.
I observe her.
She is tall and thin.
Blond hair that falls in soft waves on her back, hazel eyes flecked with green.
The perfect woman for a man like Steve.
She is everything I am not.
I answer her with a hint of a shy smile.
Then I immediately bring my gaze back down.
I feel uncomfortable.
Out of place.
I hear Steve and Bucky greets her and then I can feel Steve's footsteps approaching me.
His shoes appear in my field of vision.
I feel his hand slipping through my hair, then gently grasping my neck and with a light pressure of the fingers he makes me tilt my head to the side.
I look up and meet his wonderful eyes.
He leans over me and leaves a very sweet kiss on my lips.
He takes my breath away.
I don't expected such a gesture.
Moreover in front of Bucky who is now looking at me with an indecipherable look.
"What are you doing here?Is everything okay?I didn't know you would come here or I would be back sooner.Have you been waiting a long time?"
Steve fills me with questions without even giving me time to answer.
My gaze moves back and forth between Steve and Bucky.
But I can't hold on for long.
I look down again.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Steve raise his other hand and then the sound of a snap.
I immediately look up and see Bucky rubbing the back of his neck cursing between his teeth.
"What did you tell her?Did you scare her?"
"No, I...we were just having a chat" Bucky stammers.
Steve holds me close to him and whispers "Forget him, he's just an old grumpy"
I look Bucky straight in the eyes,
wrapped in Steve's arm.
My instinct tells me to stick my tongue out but I don't want to be childish.
So I just stare at him with a raised eyebrow.
Bucky rolls his eyes.
Steve and I walk into his apartment.
Bucky refuses, he says that Sam is waiting for him for a beer.
"I wanted to ask you to join us but surely you have better things to do now" so saying Bucky winks at me.
I blush violently and he walks away laughing.
Son of bitch.
"Forgive him.Sometimes he's worse than a kid" Steve tells me, smiling and gesturing for me to follow him to the sofa.
I sit next to him but keeping a certain distance.
Which does not go unnoticed by him.
"What happens?" his voice veiled with concern
"Did Bucky say something to you?Because whatever it is..."
"Steve it's ok.Bucky has nothing to do with it.He didn't tell me anything.We just talk when you have arrived"
You arrived with her.
I would like to add but I bite my tongue.
It wouldn't make sense to set up a scene.
He looks at me intently.
"So what's bothering you honey?"
"Please don't call me that!"
I feel myself on the verge of tears.
I can not handle it anymore.
I jump on my feet and go to the door.
"Maybe it's better that I go.I made a mistake.I shouldn't be here"
I shouldn't be here, how much truth and how much pain in a handful of words.
Before even reaching the doorknob, his strong hand closes around my wrist.
"Please don't go.Talk to me" he begs me.
I narrow my eyes.
One tear escape.
"Whatever it is we will solve it together.You and me.Come with me, let's go for a walk.If after talking I still have not convinced you I will let you go.I promise you"
I nod, I can't deny it.
Outside the sun begins to go down.
We set out and observing the road I think I understand where we are headed.
We are heading for the Hudson bank.
It is a small green space.
Nice and quiet.
There is a man walking with his two pit bulls.
Two girls jogging.
They slow down as soon as they see Steve.
They devour him with their eyes and then they giggled among themselves.
He doesn't even seem to notice them.
On the other hand, I feel invisible.
We head to a bench, positioned right in front of the river.
We remain silent for a while to enjoy the view.
The only sounds that can be heard are the lapping of the waves and the sound of ferry boats making their way up and down on the surface of the water.
Now or never.
"Maybe it's better if we don't see each other again Steve"
This hurts as hell.
His stunned look hurts.
His is just a whisper.
"Why?Did I do something wrong?Don't...don't you like me enough?"
His conclusions are absurd.
How can he even think that?
"Are you kidding aren't you?I mean have you seen yourself?Can't you see how all women die behind you?I'm not enough"
I whisper
"Did you see me?" I whisper.
"Yes, I've seen you.I'm seeing you honey"
I smile bitterly.
"I think your type would be more of a beautiful blonde, thin, tall and self-confident.Maybe just like your beautiful neighbor.Don't you think?"
"Sharon is just a friend.Yes, we were together a long time ago but nothing important.We remained good friends and then we are also work colleagues"
Perfect.
His sexy blonde neighbor is an ex of him.
They are also colleagues.
Life sucks.
"Are you by any chance...jealous?"
A crooked smile appears on Steve's lips.
"Shut up Steve!Don't be stupid"
"You know I swore..."
"Steve please, you don't help me!"
"Don't help you with what Lily?" Steve explodes.
The anger in his voice.
His words are like a slap.
Steve POV
I didn't want to raise my voice.
The moment I saw her in front of my door I felt as if a thousand butterflies had taken flight in my stomach.
When I kissed her it felt so natural.
So right.
I feel like I'm home.
She is like home.
And now she are telling me that she don't want to see me anymore?
I'm sorry but this time she won't go away without giving me some answers.
She gets up and leans on the railing that runs along the shore.
"I promised I would let you go but I want an explanation.I deserve it, don't you think?"
I try to be as calm as possible.
I thought we were on the same page.
How can she give it all up so easily?
"Steve..." I feel she is about to cry but I don't stop.
If I insist now she will give up. I'm sure.
"Please just tell me the truth honey"
I use that nickname that I found natural to call her from the start.
Like honey that has stuck to my heart.
Difficult to send away.
She point her gaze into mine and I see her hesitating.
After that she sighs.
"This isn't real" she whispers.
I can't understand...
"You, this place, are only here"
and so saying she points to her forehead with a finger.
"You are just a dream, the fruit of my imagination"
I bursting out laughing, it's not a happy laugh.
"Look if you have someone else or if you are married just tell me.But please have respect for my intelligence"
She turns to the river and begins to cry.
"You know, I knew you wouldn't believe me"
"How could I?" I verbally attack her.
"Listen Steve I know you're angry and you think I'm a crazy liar but I'm telling you the truth!Why don't you understand?I'm trying to be totally honest with you!"
Flames dance in her eyes.
She's bringing out the grit.
Then she's not all that submissive.
I take a few steps away but she whirls around and she approaches hard-nosed.
She starts talking again.
"In the evening I go to bed at my house, in my reality.As soon as I fall asleep, I open my eyes again here in New York.
This is the first time this has happened to me.Don't you think that I didn't think that I was crazy?That's why I shouldn't see you anymore.Because you're not real and it kills me.I can't live like this!The other times I've been with you I didn't run away.I just woke up in my reality.In my bed"
It is the longest speech that I had ever heard her give.
Part of me wants to believe her, after all I have fought gods, monsters and aliens.
I shouldn't be surprised that another parallel reality can exist.
The thing that worries me is that she believes that this life, my life is fake.
Let it be imagination.
This means that she may not know who she is or where she comes from.
I see her legs are trembling, she is trying to go back to lean on the railing.
She is white as a ghost.
"Are you okay honey?Do you want me to call for help?"
"No it's okay.I'm just waking up on the other side"
I feel her start sobbing, her small and delicate hands go up my arms to hook behind my neck.
She crying.
My hands close behind her back, on her hips.
"I'm sorry Steve.I swear I would have spent my life with you if it had been possible."
It's not like that.
This is the real world.
I absolutely have to know where she comes from.
I have to be able to look for her.
She is real.
I can feel her here hugging me.
I feel her warm body, her heart beating madly.
I feel her tears wet my shirt.
How can this not be real?
She lifts her head.
Her eyes are red and puffy.
The tip of her nose all red.
Yet she continues to be the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever landed on.
She gets up on tiptoe and kisses me.
At first softly then all of a sudden with urgency.
The same urgency that I feel.
Our tongues touch and I lose my reason.
It's a kiss of teeth and tongues.
We devour each other's lips.
It is passionate and violent.
Full of unspoken words.
She bites my lower lip and then sucks it, I moaning desperately in her mouth.
It is again she who breaks away first.
Now his lips are swollen and red too.
She gives me another sweet kiss.
She takes my cheeks in her palms and kisses me again.
And again.
Slightly.
Gently.
Our lips barely touch.
Like sweet caresses.
She rests her forehead on mine.
We remain still, lost in our painful silence.
"Goodbye Steve.I'll never forget you"
In a fit of desperation I grab her hands by her wrists and kiss her palm.
Then every single finger.
"I'll find you Lily.Should it take my whole life I'll find you"
I kiss her again.
"I promise"
She smiles at me sadly and in doing so a slight blue glow envelops her and she disappears.
My arms are empty now.
They fall without force along my body.
Where she used to be, now there is nothing.
My chest hurts.
It is as if no matter how deeply I breathe I continually feel that I am suffocating.
So is this really the truth?
Will I really never see her again?
I look up to the sky.
"I'll find you honey.I'll find you.That's a promise"

Maybank ; Rafe Cameron
masterlist
Request: how about y/n is jj’s older sister and shes dating rafe but they keep it a secret bcs rafe is a dick he doesn’t want to be seen w a pogue. jj knows that his sister is dating rafe and he kinda hates rafe for keeping they relationship as a secret. then sarah threw a party n invited the pogues n they play truth or dare n a random kook dared rafe to sniff coke on some random girl’s belly n rafe accepted it without thinking abt what y/n thinks n they fight @rafeswh0ree
Pairing: Rafe Cameron x reader
Summary: Rafe would do anything to protect his title, even if it causes the girl he loves to stray away. 
Warnings: Pure angst, mentions of substance!
A/N: you know the drill. . . send requests! 
(Y/N) doesn’t want to remember the day her little brother found out about her relationship with a certain kook prince.
Being a year younger than (Y/N), it’s funny how he acts like a total older brother to her; always so protective, and not letting any boys touch her.
It was a Friday, and (Y/N) had sneaked out to meet Rafe by the beach. The night sky was almost perfect; the moon was illuminating them, and the waves were calming.
Rafe pressed a kiss against her lips, mumbling how much he loves her when the sound of a backpack hitting the soft sand startled them.
“What the fuck?”
(Y/N) scampered from Rafe, fixing her fallen top and running towards JJ who was already making his way back to his bike. His eyebrows were furrowed, his heart banging.
(Y/N) pulled his shoulder, “JJ, stop. It’s not what you think!”
“Wait, wait, what do you mean? Did he drown and you had to give him CPR?” He scoffed, prying his shoulders away and walking backward slowly. “This is so low of you, (Y/N). Fuck.”
JJ noticed that something was different with his sister a few months ago. The sneaky texts under the table, the sudden smile at her phone screen. . . he had thought of the actions as nothing more than (Y/N) contacting her friends.
And when he saw her in Figure 8 two weeks ago, in a fancy restaurant he works part-time in, she had told him that her new friend had brought her there.
As if she would ever have a kook friend.
Of course it wasn’t a kook friend. It was a kook boyfriend.
“JJ, please! Why are you like this?”
JJ turned his heels to look at (Y/N) properly. His nostrils were flaring, and his eyes were wild. Trying to contain his anger, “Your fucking boyfriend is a drug addict and I’m not letting you date someone who choked my friends before!”
He waited, and extended his hands. “It’s me or Rafe. Stay if you want to stay with him, and come with me if you want to come back home.”
“You’re crazy,” she whispered, letting a tear rolled down her cheeks. She thought of many scenarios where JJ will eventually find out about her and Rafe, but this wasn’t in her list.
“Me or Rafe.”
(Y/N) remembers exactly the way JJ walked away disappointedly, his head hanging low and his hands balled up in a fist.
It took her weeks to regain JJ’s trust and fix their relationship, and though JJ still hasn’t accepted Rafe, he’s okay. He’s quiet, sometimes seething at the boy, but he knows how much (Y/N) loves him.
“Hey,” Rafe smiles, placing a kiss directly on her cheeks. Her hot body from the scorching sun slowly tempers down, and she melts into his touch.
Pulling him close, she nestles into his chest. “Sarah’s having a party tonight.”
“Yeah? You’re coming?”
“We’re coming, Rafe,” she sighs. The sprinkling water from the fast motion of the boat hits her on her face, and she wipes them away before looking up to this handsome face.
She rubs her thumb against his cheeks, feeling him soften. “If I ask you something, can you not be mad?”
“Is this about letting everyone know about us?” He asks, his hands resting above her hips. He removes them and wraps his face, sighing.
(Y/N) bites her lips, already knowing the answer to her question. “Never mind.”
“We talked about this, (Y/N).”
“I know, so I’m not going to fight with you on this again,” she sits up straight, inching away from him. “I mean, after almost a year of dating, I think you’d—”
“You’re forcing this.”
“I’m not!” She stands up, groaning. “God, you’re starting a fight again!”
The silence between them grows again, both sulking and shouting in their heads. After a while, (Y/N) moves to the front deck of the boat and Rafe curses silently, knowing that the plan he had about strolling by the stream with the girl he loves is a failure.
But it’s not his fault, is it? He just can’t show her off. It’s bad enough that her brother’s aware of their relationship, and Rafe had to make sure that son of a bitch never opens his mouth to anyone.
“Hey, yo, JJ, got a minute?”
The blonde waiter grunted, eyeing Rafe with so much hatred before placing a cold mineral bottle on the table.
“Rafe, don’t cause any scene,” Topper warned, staring at the both of them. He could sense something was wrong, but he didn’t put this mind into it. He thought of it as nothing more than Rafe’s daily fights with the pogues.
JJ didn’t reply, not wanting to see his smug face what more to talk to him, but as he tried to return back to the kitchen, Rafe gripped his wrist tightly.
“Just a minute,” he smiled.
JJ quirked his head to the back of the kitchen where the workers usually smoke. Rafe nodded, letting go of his wrist, and whispered something to Topper.
“What do you want?” JJ asked once they were in the back alley, watching as Rafe lighted a cigarette and bringing the stick to his lips.
“How’s (Y/N)?”
“Isn’t that your problem?” The blonde boy scoffed, “Hey, man, look. I appreciate this family bonding activity you’re trying to have, but you’re no family. I care about (Y/N), and I’m in no way letting her be with you.”
What angered JJ more wasn’t the fact that he didn’t reply, but it was the superior look he plastered on his face. He felt the urge to slap and hurt him more than anything else.
“If there’s one thing we can agree on—” he said, blowing a puff of smoke. JJ inched backward, not wanting the smell of tobacco to linger on his uniform or he’ll be in trouble. “—is that we both care for her. I understand if you don’t want anyone else to know about me and (Y/N), and I hope it will stay that way.”
“You don’t want me to tell anyone else?”
“Yeah,” Rafe smiled. “It’s bad enough I have to pull you away in the middle of my lunch. Can’t afford to do that with more people.”
“Is it because you’re embarrassed to be seen with her?”
“Can you do that for me?” Rafe asked, ignoring his last question.
“Fuck you, Cameron.”
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Rafe laughed, patting his shoulder and watching as he flinched away. “I think I’ll see you around more than we both want to, Maybank.”
“Hey,” (Y/N) whispers, placing a hand against his shoulder. “What’s wrong? You’re in a daze.”
“You’re not mad at me anymore?” He asks, tilting his head up. That was quick, but he likes it. She can never be mad at him for more than 30 minutes.
She crosses her arms, “You want me to be mad at you?”
He shrugs and pulls her to his lap. “You’re hotter when you’re mad.”
. . .
If there’s one thing Rafe’s sure of, he hates parties when he will be the one to clean up the mess the next morning.
Ward and Rose are out for the weekend for their anniversary, and Wheezie is somewhere for a summer camp she has been begging Ward to go to.
Like always, Sarah Cameron takes this opportunity as a way to host the biggest party of the year, inviting all of her pogue friends and letting Rafe do the honor of inviting the kooks.
(Y/N) walks in with her best friend, having to pretend to not be so familiar with the whole house as if she’s not dating the son of Ward Cameron.
“Yo, this house is huge.”
“Yeah,” (Y/N) agrees, walking towards the drinks area and grabbing boozes for her and her friend. “Hey, I’m going to see someone, can you wait for me down here?”
Before she can walk away, Sarah Cameron appears excitedly and pulls her into a tight hug. “(Y/N)! What a surprise! JJ’s outside, if you’re looking for him.”
“Trust me, I’m not looking for him,” she laughs, “Have you seen Rafe? I, um, I called him up before for some stuff.”
“Oh, yeah, he’s on the porch,” she replies, and before (Y/N) can make a move, she holds her tightly. “Be careful. He’s got the heaviest stuff with him.”
As if she doesn’t know that.
She smiles, muttering her thanks before heading towards the porch. It’s hard to pretend to not know who Rafe is after spending her whole year with him.
Sure enough, Rafe is sitting by Topper’s side with his other friends surrounding them, his hair messily parted and his nose red. She sighs, knowing exactly what state he’s in.
“Yo, Maybank,” Topper laughs, pulling the empty seat beside him. “Come sit.”
Rafe looks up to the sound of her name, and before she can register the look on his face, he bows down again.
“Hey,” she greets, sitting beside Topper. “You’re okay?”
“This party’s the shit,” he answers, obviously in a drunken state, and pats Rafe’s back. “Yo, yo, you got the same ring as my boy right here.”
Topper grabs the gold ring hanging from (Y/N)’s necklace, bringing it closer under the light and taking Rafe’s hand. “Wow, are you guys soulmates?”
The boys around them laugh, and (Y/N) pulls her necklace away before anyone can guess anything. She watches as Rafe grunts, still so busy trying to separate the powder in lines.
“Wanna try a line?”
“She can’t, Topper.”
All eyes are on Rafe now, who’s rubbing his nose and licking his lips. Rafe never stops anyone from doing a line and even asked Wheezie if she wanted to try one before, so the words that came out of his mouth appear as a shock to all of them.
“Why?” (Y/N) asks, tilting her head to one side. If he doesn’t want to show her off to his friends, he might as well stop trying to control her life. She looks back to Topper, “I’ll try a line, Tops.”
Topper smiles, giving her a rolled-up 100 dollars bill and pushing his chair back to allow her in. (Y/N) takes the chance to brush her back against Rafe’s front, hearing his ragged breath all the sudden.
She bends down, giving Rafe the perfect view of her back, and snorts a line. She falls onto Rafe’s lap as he pulls her close, breathing into her sweet smell as she throws her head back from the sudden tingling in her stomach.
“Stand up,” he orders in her ears, “Stand up, (Y/N).”
Before Rafe can push her off, she stands up quickly and makes her way back to her previous seat. She only tried coke once, way before she met Rafe, and she had thought of it as nothing more but the last time she tried the substance. She prefers drinking to get her mind off since then.
“You’re joining the game later?” Topper asks, glancing down at her short skirt. (Y/N) mindlessly pulls her dress down, and throws her head back once again.
“What game?”
“Truth or dare,” he smiles.
“I don’t play children’s games,” she fakes yawn, “Are you playing?”
“I don’t think so,” he replies, licking his lips. “Like you said, I don’t play children’s games.”
Whatever Topper’s doing to get (Y/N)’s attention; it’s just not working. She’s way too head over heels for the boy beside him, who’s still red and flustered from the brief teasing she had for him a few moments ago.
“(Y/N), wanna grab a drink?”
Both (Y/N) and Topper look up to Rafe. He’s trying his hardest not to look at her again and busies himself with the powder. “You don’t look quite comfortable with Topper.”
“Oh, I’m fine,” she replies, watching as his head snaps back to her. She licks her lips, “We’re alright, aren’t we, Tops?”
Topper nods, more than ready to have a fling with the pretty girl beside him, pogue or not pogue.
“Okay,” Rafe replies, “Whatever you say.”
Whatever (Y/N)’s doing to grab his attention; she’s doing a great job at it. Rafe’s jaw tenses at the sound of her laughter, and he has to look the other way when Topper’s hands sneak their way to around her shoulders.
He’s almost glad when Sarah comes to tell them something about the game starting. He sneaks to beside (Y/N), giving her a soft touch on her back, and off he goes to sit on the opposite side of her.
His mind’s still woozy, and he’s struggling to even open his eyes. The booming music still thrums against his eardrums, and the drinks he had earlier keeps every muscle of his active and ready to do anything crazy.
“You’re playing?” Someone asks him from the right.
What else can happen from a silly game of truth or dare?
“Yeah.”
Rafe hopes (Y/N) isn’t playing, because he knows the stupid things his friends would ask her. Always being the topic of his friends’ conversations, he’s clear with their intentions towards (Y/N).
And he’s not making any of it a reality.
“Topper, truth or dare.”
“Truth,” he answers, and Rafe’s eyes snap back to (Y/N). Surprisingly, her eyes are already on him, her stare so pierced that Rafe has to shift his position to ignore the aching in the pits of his stomach.
Rafe doesn’t care enough to listen to whatever his best friend’s saying, and his eyes stay on (Y/N). The girl smiles at him, and his eyes trail down to her chest.
Of course she would wear something like a top that doesn’t cover half of her chest.
He looks away, biting his lips.
“(Y/N)! Truth or dare?”
(Y/N) groans at Topper, crossing her arms and yelling ‘I’m not playing’. Her friends moan at her, pressuring her to keep the game going, and after a few pleas and more groans, she sighs.
She’s so easy to manipulate.
Rafe stares at her again, licking his lips.
“Dare.”
The crowd cheer, but the volume is down to mute to Rafe, who’s too busy having her glued to his brain. She looks wonderful under the dim lights, and Rafe wants nothing more than to have her screaming under him.
“I dare you to make out with the hottest person in the room.”
“Change the game,” Rafe says to no one in particular, sitting up straighter. “Change the game.”
“Yo, what?” Kelce asks, “What’s wrong with you?”
Rafe ignores his friend, and stares at the girl.
(Y/N) stands up from her seat and walks towards Topper, and Rafe can feel his heart stopping. His fear is coming to reality, and she’s so close to Topper they’re practically kissing.
He lays his head against the cushion, his heart aching.
“Yo, Rafe, it’s your turn!”
Rafe sits up straighter, rubbing his eyes and looking around the group as everyone else stares at him. He groans, feeling so tired and not having a clue where he have gone to a few minutes ago.
It might the aftermath of the coke, but it doesn’t feel as good as always.
How long did he pass out?
“Truth or dare, Rafe.”
“I’m not playing,” he mumbles, rubbing his temple.
“If you’re backing out now, you’ll have to pay a hundred bucks.”
What the fuck?
“Since when?” He asks, looking up to the random girl he has seen around the country club a few times. “That’s not the rules.”
“It is now.”
“Fine. Dare.”
Anything to put an end to this game.
“I dare you to do a line on Jessie’s back.”
The room grows silent, and Rafe can feel all stares at him. He blinks, trying to register what he just heard, and laughs. “Just a line?”
(Y/N) bites her lips. He wouldn’t do it, would he?
Somehow, JJ finds his way behind the couch (Y/N) is sitting on. He places a hand comfortably on her shoulder and watches her jerk. “You’re okay?”
She doesn’t reply, but JJ knows the answer all too well.
Rafe’s friends clear the table off from drinks and Jessie lays her bare back against the glass table. Rafe doesn’t look up to her to ask for permission or to give her any reassurances, and it feels as if he wants to do it too.
JJ’s grip around her shoulder tightens, “You should go.”
She shakes her head, staring at the scene before her.
The intoxicating powder is poured by an excited Topper directly on Jessie’s stomach, and (Y/N) feels sick to her core. She feels like screaming, because why wouldn’t he say no?
It’s not like a hundred bucks would be too much for him to stop playing.
Rafe dips his head to the same level as Jessie’s head, and (Y/N) stares at the girl bites her lips the same way (Y/N) does when Rafe’s close to her.
Except he’s close to someone else.
The crowd erupts into a loud roar again as Rafe finally stands up from the lines, his head becoming more bumping and his respiratory rate increasing.
The kook prince doing a line on some hot girl in Figure 8. 
What a headline.
His eyes look up to the people around him, but (Y/N) is nowhere in sight.
“Where is she?” He asks Topper. His hands found themselves wrapped around Topper’s shoulders for balance.
“Where is who?”
“My girlfriend,” he answers, not thinking much. “I have to go.”
“What girlfriend, Rafe?” Topper laughs. “Man, you’re in too deep. The game’s not finished.”
“I’ll pay the hundred,” he replies and makes his way out of the party. His sight is becoming so blurry that he falls by the side of the pool a few times before he sees the sight of her climbing JJ’s bike.
“Hey, hey, where are you going?” He asks, standing in front of the bike and not letting JJ turn to the exit. “The party’s not finished!”
“Fuck off, Cameron,” JJ replies, blocking Rafe’s view of his girlfriend. (Y/N) stares down to her lap, not wanting to look him in the eyes, and Rafe’s breath hitches at the silence.
“What did I do?”
Before Rafe can hear any explanation, JJ pushes him down to the side road and he groans from the sudden impact. He looks up to the blonde and lunges for him, only for them to end up by the side of the road.
“Oh my god, stop!” (Y/N) yells, trying to pry her brother away from Rafe. “JJ, he’s not thinking straight. Let’s just go!”
“Don’t get near (Y/N) ever again!” JJ yells, his eyes flaring up in anger and his knuckles turning purple. “She deserves someone better than a cheating fuck like you!”
Out of all the responses Rafe can give to JJ, he lets out the coldest laugh, and the sound of his voice carries throughout the dark neighborhood.
“I’m cheating? She was cheating on me too!”
“What are you saying?” (Y/N) scoffs, “I wasn’t cheating, Rafe, I’m not you.”
“Yeah? The kiss with Topper?”
“That wasn’t a kiss! I gave him a peck on his cheeks!”
“That doesn’t excuse the fact you didn’t kiss me.”
“Is that why you’re acting like a dick? Because I didn’t kiss you when Tops asked me to kiss the hottest guy in the room?” She laughs. This whole thing seems funny all of a sudden after hearing Rafe’s side of the story. “I thought you want us to stay lowkey.”
“Whatever, can you get your fucking bodyguard off me?” Rafe replies, “And don’t call him Tops. It’s like you’re begging to get fucked by him.”
JJ makes a move again, but (Y/N) quickly pulls him away. She wipes her eyes with the back of her hands, and Rafe wishes he hadn’t said the words out loud.
JJ finally lets go of him and walks to his bike, feeling so tired but pumped at the same time from the brief fight with Rafe. He wanted more than anything for them to break up, but what just happened isn’t exactly what he had in mind. 
“So you’re going?”
“There’s no reason for me to stay, Rafe,” she replies. “You don’t even want to admit that we’re dating. Are you embarrassed of me?”
When he doesn’t reply, (Y/N) pushes his chest that he staggers backward, still so woozy and lightheaded he feels like fainting.
“Are. You. Embarrassed. Of. Me?”
Rafe stays silent, looking down to the ground and wishing the world would just swallow him up.
“Go to hell, Rafe,” she replies, and Rafe inches backward when her gold ring he had bought for her to match his own ring rolls down to his feet. He quickly looks up to her.
She’s not breaking up with him, is she?
If he felt like he has gone through hell before, this feeling is a lot worse.

A huge thank you for the patience in getting these prizes out!! We’re finally here to congratulate the amazing creators who completed 16+ of the prompts for Villainous July 🤩🎉 Both mods, @superherotiger and @kevyfanfics, completed the prizes, Tiger doing the line art and Kevy coloring!
First, for @winter-turtle’s fic A Chance for completing 16 prompts! (An excerpt from Chapter 1:)
“Don’t pretend like you’re above normal humans just because you got injected by some serum. That goes for all of you. You’re mere mortals too, not some untouchable beings.” Tony’s eyes darkened. “Someone should remind you of that.”
Tony threw himself into the battle with renewed vigor. Grabbing the kid and running was out of question. He had to incapacitate the heroes first.
By some miracle, the fight remained even – but most likely because Tony was fueled by rage, Hawkeye was out of arrows, Widow and Falcon got hit several times and Rogers got shot point blank, though there was that stupid conflicted look on his face again.
Then Roger’s expression shifted into something unreadable. And then he did something Tony never expected him to do.
He threw the shield.
At Peter.
Second, for @zanderljones’s fic Villainous July, Chapter 11: Redeemed, completing 16 prompts! (An excerpt from Chapter 11:)
“Breathe hun, you need to breathe,” Tony pleaded, his arms wrapped around Peter, holding him against his chest. He could feel every one of the boy’s ribs, his collarbone, his jabby elbows. It was heart-wrenching, seeing his boy so broken down in every way, having to listen to his weak gasps for air in between his cries.
“Can’t, I can’t do this,” Peter’s resolve was crumbling quicker than he thought it would. Being held in steady safe arms, surrounded by the familiar sounds of the inner workings of the Tower, it was all too much.
“You’re home. Just come home.” Tony murmured, pressing a kiss into Peter’s flattened curls, completely ignoring the smell coming from them, “Just come home, bambino.”
Finally, the 30 prompt prize goes to the amazing @tonystarkissist for Oh Sweet Child!! Your incredible hard work has shown throughout this event and we’re in absolute awe of your ethic and writing! (An excerpt from Chapter 5:)
He timed it in his head… approximately two and a half more seconds before the large fists began to pound him into the pavement like the angry rage monster he was. And right on time, just as his internal timer hits zero, he hears a loud clang… like something impacting with metal.
He turns onto his back once more and squints to clear the spinning blurbs of color, and he isn’t sure if it’s another hallucination or not, but he sees the shape of a familiar man standing above him, going head to head with Gorilla-Man’s fist caught in his much smaller, shiny hand like it was nothing more than an inconvenience for him.
Then he sees the orange sparkle of fairy lights climbing up the man’s neck and along the side of his jaw… he sees the red glow of his arm illuminating the familiar patterns of the iconic armor. Though… this time instead of red, the base of the color scheme was a deep, dark, inky black which was only illuminated by the red hue emitting from the crevices of the armor and the highlights of gold weaving through it.
It was Tony Stark.
Thanks a bunch to everyone who participated, it’s absolutely blown us away!! We’ve had so much fun going through all your amazing creations and can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future💙✨

Interview with Till about his life: he fought with his father, killed his beloved dog, swam on a wild river and worked on suffering. How Till Lindemann's mind works
"I will finish you off" and why you fought for the German army.
Werner Lindemann wanders around the room, interrupting the silence with strange questions, writing something down. His motive is to get to know his son and make him a friend. But it's complicated. Generational conflict.
"My island of tranquility is shaken every day. The day before yesterday, a guy pulled on my socks because his were torn. Yesterday he didn't put out a single lamp in the house. Now, with voluptuous delight, he spits cherry pits into the cat's fur. Is this grown boy really an adult?"
The apprenticeship in Rostock, where you have to do window production after graduation, is the limit of boredom. Till Lindemann moved to his father in the countryside so that he could forget about the hustle and bustle of the city and not fall under the article for anti-social attitudes. He thought of a new life, in which there was no pointless work, and arranged an attic in his father's house.
In the mornings over coffee, he scolded life that everything went according to schedule. And listened very loudly to music - electronics and metal. My father didn't understand and grumbled: “I matured late. Naturally, I wanted to listen to the music I liked, but I could not get my hands on these records. For example, my father did not understand when I bought the Alice Cooper record for a month's salary.
Werner Lindemann was a children's writer who went through the war.
At the height of his career he disappeared for weeks on literary tours - his fame spread to teachers and librarians across the country. His father pecked at Lindemann for refusing to work and promised to turn him in:
"My willful child. What doesn't fit his standards is rejected as nonsense or crap." So he took a job as a carpenter, where he made shovel cuttings and cart wheels. The head foreman constantly drank vodka during the day, didn't want to be annoyed with questions and addressed the long-haired Lindemann with the nickname: "Mozart!" This suited him.
Werner Lindemann talked about war, hard existence and limitations. For example, about a grenade splinter that remained in his body. Lindemann did not believe in all these stories - but categorically did not accept service, war and murder:
“After that I objected: “I would hide, I would not go to war. Why did you even let yourself be dragged into this? You could have hidden."
And he said: “It didn't work out. They searched for it and it took away."
Then I said: “I would rather go under arrest. Never in my life, I would go to the front line to shoot people. It's against my nature. It would be better if I went to jail."
Much of the time father and son were simply silent, even while watching television.
"He regularly made me feel guilty, to say the least, he placed himself on a pedestal towards me: I shouldn't complain. At your age, I ran barefoot through the stubble, and in my stomach - a potato in a uniform."
The only acceptance is Mike Oldfield's music: "One day my father came to grumble again. At that moment I was listening to Mike Oldfield, and he sat down and said: "That sounds interesting."
For me it was like a quantum leap: my father sits in my room, listens to my music and thinks it was good. Probably because of melancholy. He was sitting in a rocking chair that I made myself - at the time I was working as a carpenter on a farm. I, too, always sat in an armchair, immersed myself in music and smoked hand-rolled cigarettes."
The conflict was intensified by a fight. Lindemann bought a Trabant car, installed speakers in it and tested the sound - loud as usual. “Then my father came and I had to turn off this fucking music. It was kind of loud for him. He was then fiddling around his cases of flowers, and then suddenly the situation escalated. I think he slapped me while I was still in the car.
He leaned toward me and hit me with the back of his hand. I made some bullshit remarks like, "Leave me alone," something like that. That was a provocation to him, and he said: "If you do that again, I'll hit you for real." And I said, "Then you'll get it back. Because you're crazy. Don't you dare to hit me anymore."
And then he hit me with his palm again. He wasn't controlling himself.
He was exalting himself. Instantly he introduced himself as a boxer - he had boxed in the Hitler Youth - and I just... I thought I didn't hit him, I just pushed him away. And then he stood in front of me again, "Come on, I'll finish you, you haven't got a chance!" Somehow. After that, he went up to the attic and threw all my stuff out the window.
It happened over the weekend, my sister was there, a lot of screaming, serious drama. Then I packed my things, put them in the car, went to a friend's house and never went into his house again. At first I lived with this friend, and a week later I bought myself a house in the village."
His father's book is about his son, which the son will only open up after the death of the father.
Lindemann is a late child. He was born when his father was 36. The gap in their relationship was felt in everyday life and perception of the world. Werner Lindemann woke up early in the morning, worked with the circular saw under the windows and did not understand when his son slept until noon after a working week.
Lindemann's parents then lived separately, but kept in touch. Mom worked as a journalist and discussed her texts with his father. "She still lived in Rostock and always came to see him only on weekends. Mostly on Sundays she came back quite early, because she couldn't stand the stress of being with him, either."
In 1988, the book “Mike Oldfield im Schaukelstuhl Notizen eines Vaters" In this book, Lindemann Senior describes the relationship with his son (whom he calls Timm in the book), who settled with him at the age of 18. The book was written in the 80s and laid on the table until the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany were reunited.
Werner Lindemann wanted his son to take up writing too. But this only amused him, although as a child he wrote poetry. At the age of 13, little Till Lindemann and his father were returning home along the bumpy road to Mecklenburg. They talked about career self-determination:
"You should already have thoughts about what you want to become, boy." My answer: "I don't know yet, maybe a fisherman on the high seas."
But immediately, no matter what I said, objections arose: “But then you have to get a certificate of maturity. But then you will be away all the time. But then you won't be able to start a relationship."
There was always a “but”.
At some point it got on my nerves, as usual. And I said: "Worst case scenario, I'll just become a writer.
I still remember how alienated his face became. "And what do you think then, what do I do! It's a very hard job! In fact, it's not even a job, it's a passion. And it's a job that's supposed to be enjoyable."
I said, "I don't know anybody who works with pleasure."
"Yeah, that's the problem. You have to look for a job that gives you pleasure." Then I say again, "But some people never get to choose..." This gigantic discussion happened because I didn't take his profession seriously. At the same time, he was completely lost, funny!"
Lindemann thoughtfully read his father's book, in which he comprehends their relationship, after his death. Faked for hidden anger and indecision. For example, in a situation where their dog Kurt was bitten by a fox. The father was frightened because of rabies: “At the same time, we did not even know whether he was bitten by a fox or not. The father immediately called the huntsman. But I said: no one will enter this courtyard and shoot the dog. I'll do it myself if I really need it. At some point I really had to kill the dog."
Lindemann is not a monster. The animals he fiddled with are an important attribute of childhood. He had an aquarium and hamsters, brought mice and rats home, and was friends with dogs. “Like many children of new buildings, he felt the need for someone alive, in need of love,” said Werner Lindemann. Sometimes the appearance of an animal in the house was surprising:
“This guy will never say what he's up to. He appears on the doorstep at the same time as me. He gets out from his vehicle, throws his coat open and puts a young black shepherd in my hands. "Your Christmas present!"
Till's father is speechless. My son stands before me like the sun's little brother. Touchingly concerned, he directs me into the house, working out a plan for the animal husbandry, accommodation and diet of our new pet housemate.
With confusion, a question flies from my lips, "Wheredid you get the dog from?" "Timm" is gibbering, "Imagine, the mason in the barnyard wanted to hang him, simply wanted to strangle him with a rope, said he was a worthless eater..."
Werner Lindemann died of stomach cancer in 1993, when his son was 30. They didn't finally reconcile, but Till visited him in his last days and was there for him with his mother: "They couldn't be without each other, even though they lived apart. Unreal, but my mother never had another man afterwards. To this day she can't let go of him."
- Not going to the Olympics in Moscow and ending up in the German ghetto
Lindemann had the knowledge and the potential to be a swimmer. And a shyness that pounded harder three days before the competition than concerts in front of crowds of thousands. "I know how difficult it is to develop willpower and stamina and instill those attributes. In the GDR this was instilled in us by coaches and so-called functionaries."
Lindemann came to swimming at the age of eight and devoted his entire youth to the sport. He would get up for training at five in the morning and pass out in the evening. His grandmother watched him from the stands. At a competition in Leipzig she shouted at the coach, who told Lindemann off for a poor result. The grandmother took the coach by the ear and said: "How do you talk to my grandson?"
Sports tightened up his upbringing and developed self-discipline. “Drilling - probably the boy has already received this experience as a swimmer,” Lindemann's father wrote. - Once he had to take second place in a competition, but by no means first place. Of course, he got carried away, forgot about it, became the first, thanks to which he received a shouting for indiscipline. And whenever he lost in the future, his coach would torture him at practice for a long time and yelled at him: "Even if you win, you're not a winner yet!"
Lindemann swam the 1.5 km freestyle and could have gone to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Everything was ruined when he left the hotel without permission during a competition in Florence: "I didn't want to run, but just wanted to look at the city. Cars, bikes, girls. I was caught and kicked out of the team, but then I didn't give the required results either."
Lindemann competed at the European Junior Championships, but did not go any higher. After the story in Florence, his career in sport slipped away. Perhaps an abdominal injury influenced his departure. Lindemann is gone, but he doesn't yearn: "I was relatively young. There were no good [memories] left. I was glad it was over."
"The hardest part was getting back to normal. I fell into a real hole. My home was no longer a sports school, but a ghetto in Rostock. Now I stood out through drinking and fighting. I used to be surrounded only by beautiful ladies who were interested in swimming. Now I had fierce women standing in front of me asking, "How come you don't drink?" When I was shy about approaching a girl, it was interpreted as: "Are you gay?"
Lindemann now works with a coach and swims a few kilometers before his tours to get in shape: "When I exercise, I feel a certain lightness - not only physically, but also mentally. I just feel better. The main problem is staying in shape. That's where self-discipline comes into play. Teeth grinding is important."
- Three weeks in the wild and loneliness as a creative tool
Emotionally, concerts = sports:
"How do I go on tour? Hungry. And happy. It is good to compare concerts with sport. You don't want to do both at first. You don't want to go on stage. You don't want to go to the pool. You don't want to go to the boxing ring. It all happens with reluctance. It has to be accepted somehow, that's life: spring, summer, fall, winter.
When it's done, winter's gone, the blooming begins, greenery appears, it gets bright, and you start to get a taste for it. When it's over, you feel happy. Then the body produces a sea of chemistry, a lot of happiness hormones. I think the body rewards itself."
The stage, like sports, is an embarrassment, but a necessity. Lindemann wore dark glasses in order to collect fewer views from the audience. Therefore, a couple of steps before the water, he looked at the pool with a shiver. You need to cope with yourself in order to open up to new emotions.
Lindemann's gut requires solitude and moderate solitude. This is the point:
“Loneliness is always good for a creative push - you drink a glass of wine and you feel even shitier. Art is not complete without suffering; art exists to compensate for suffering."
With his friend Joey Kelly, Lindemann spent three weeks on the Yukon River. They paddled through the wilderness in a kayak for eight to 10 hours each and lived in a tent. Lindemann didn't take a tape recorder with him, so he transferred the lyrics wandering in his head on paper.
They were catching inspiration and atmosphere:
"There were times when we wouldn't say a word for hours, but then: look there, look there! It was breathtakingly beautiful. These relatively fast-changing panoramas and skies, layers of clouds, the colors.
Except for a few bears and wolves, it's hard to see anyone else out there, it's exhilarating. Along the way we saw two hunters setting traps. No one else.
I grew up in the countryside, and I have a very strong connection to nature. I love fishing, hunting. It's an archaic experience that I like to revisit over and over again. When I'm in the city for too long, I start to miss it."
To recreate situations in the Yukon, Lindemann and Kelly trained for nine months on the Rhine river in Germany because of its liveliness.
"We went down the Rhine to where the transport ships create huge bow waves. If we hadn't had a coach with us, we probably would have been sunk by the side wave impact already during our first attempt," Lindemann said.
Together with Kelly, he had four sessions with two coaches and swam from Cologne to Koblenz [more than 100 kilometers by car]. Lindemann trained separately each week on the lakes in Mecklenburg. It's both physically challenging and savage identical to being natural.
In 2015, Till started his solo project Lindemann. On the album Skills In Pills, the song Yukon was released, in which the lyrics appeared first, and then the music.
- "My lyrics come from pain rather than desire."
The country boy is big and not much of a talker. That's how the Rammstein members saw him at the start, when they were hanging out at home. "He looked cool, like a big peasant talking one sentence an hour," keyboard player Christian "Flake" Lorenz recalled. - He always had food and vodka. He'd just steal a couple of ducks somewhere and cook them on a tray. And then, frozen like in Sleeping Beauty, there were people lying in corners and on trunks in his house."
Lindemann loves and appreciates home gatherings. This came from my father, who always had guests. “In my opinion, this is the little bit that I inherited from him. Throwing parties and gathering people. Throwing parties and getting people together. He just enjoyed being a good host. The house was always full of guests from Leipzig, from Rostock, foreign guests, even from Kazakhstan.
It was always exciting for him. He stood at the stove, cooked, bought an abundance of wine, and there was always a fire in the garden. At some point he stopped drinking, then he left the party at 21:00 and the whole company continued to feast. And in the morning he got up at four, cleaned and tidied up."
Till Lindemann is about self-digging, overcoming and childish shyness, which is covered by a pumped-up figure of a swimmer. This is how Lindemann decrypts himself:
• “And I really am like a big child - ill-mannered, but harmless. People think that I am always strong, explosive. This is not true. I am sensitive and easily hurt, but in love I am romantic and passionate."
• “At the very beginning, you sit somewhere in a dark room, open a bottle of wine and figure out how to make the lyrics popular with the music. At first you only have a vague idea of ​​what it could be.
And when, three years after recording, mixing, and more mixing, developing the artwork, all this nonsense, then you stand on stage, and what you came up with then really works, when you manage to get 20 thousand people to raise their hands, then you experience incredible sensations."
• “Art is a kind of therapy.
When I feel that something is arising inside me, domineering and is most often dark, I need to give it a way out, otherwise it will simply crush me. So destruction and self-destruction are the two pillars on which my creativity is based.
But everyone chooses this for himself.
• “My lyrics arise from feelings and dreams, but still more from pain than by desire. I often have nightmares, and I wake up at night sweating, as I see terrible bloody scenes in my dreams. My lyrics are a kind of valve for the lava of feelings in my soul.
We are all struggling to hide behind good manners and outward decency, but in fact we are governed by instincts and feelings: hunger, thirst, horror, hatred, the desire for power and sex. Of course, there is also additional energy in us - this is love. Without it, all human feelings would fade away."
- "When you're constantly living someone else's life, it's very hard to get back into your own skin. I like that in principle, but sometimes you start to get confused - are you out of a role or not yet. You're already Till, or you're still a homicidal maniac."
- "I hate the noise. I hate the chatter. I expose myself to it, which is pure masochism. And then I have to protect myself from it. Noise makes you crazy. You die in it."
• “I think there is no God. And if he is and actually allows all the misfortunes on this earth, then he must punish me along with other sufferings. I will not pray to such a god."
This is how the members of Rammstein see Till - flexible and with a split personality:
Guitarist Paul Landers: "Till is so good that when you let him know that his lyrics should go in a different direction, the very next day he brings a new version of the song."
Guitarist Richard Kruspe: “He's a hell of an extreme man. He dives very deeply into situations where I cannot follow him. Everything he does is very extreme; I don't know anyone who does it. "
Drummer Christoph Schneider: "I would not want to be in Till's shoes: his soul is tormented by doubts and contradictions, he is equally a moralist and a monster."

I wanna glomp the Traffic Light Trio in MHA. The reader goes to Shiketsu and isn't allowed to date bit when they do a crossover training and get paired up with them, they end up hugging them and the boys thinks it's affection but they get SUPLEX-
I love your writing tho, just found ya deep in the recents
contains : todoroki x reader , bakugou x reader , midoriya x reader
a: sooo I didn’t know if you meant todoroki, bakugou and midoriya or midoriya denki and kirishima so I guessed... [this was qeued! I’ll be back when i’m feeling better.]
Ok so background information: 
your quirk is that you can copy others(Just like Monoma’s) and yours works by touching the other person - you have an advantage of being a pretty girl though so people get so flustered that you’re touching them and doesn’t even realize it’s your quirk at work.
Tumblr media
“Ready for this?” Camie murmered in your ear fixing the last of her clothes before giving you a glimpse, you nodded smirking while fixing the last of your pieces and stretching for the remainder of time before Shiketsu made it’s way into UA’s training room.
“I wonder if that cute boy will be there, Todoroki.” Camie hummed in silence straying towards her thoughts as you laughed at her antics, “Camie we’re supposed to be fighting them - not asking for their numbers.” 
“There was another cute one for you too! Bakugo I think is his name?” she looked in the air, holding her finger on her chin. You looked down at the floor, twisting your head in circles to stretch it out. “Now you know my father. Rock Lock doesn’t want me having relations with people. Say’s it’s a distraction”. Camie rolled her eyes sighing loudly, “Oh whatever, forget Rock Lock. You’re a teenager you should be doing whatever you want. We still are normal people.”
You, Camie aswell for the others in Shiketsu reached the UA doors, “Hellloooo Shiketsu! thanks for coming!” Present mic boomed over the loudspeaker earning a groan from Aizawa. “Hello Shiketsu, We’ve already made your pairs so let’s just get started. Your partners were based off of your skills, combat training, and rankings. Everyone gets a 30 minute round.” Aizawa nonchalantly went through the lists of names, only catching your attention when he said yours. 
“Y/N, Today you’ll be paired up with Todoroki, Midoriya, and Bakugou. Going in that order.” you ruffled your hair a little, glancing at the three nonchalant boys and sighing, this is gonna be tough.
Tumblr media
TODOROKI
At first he was hesitant and keeping his distance, he didn’t know what you were capable of 
You knew a bit about his power but only what Camie described as “ice on one hand and fire on the other”
you didn’t know how powerful he was in long and short distances though, so you had the short straw since your movements are short distance attacks.
You strategized and hugged him when he wasn’t looking.
flustered boy.
You grunt in anticipation while Todoroki was melting the ice off your bottom half, he got the first point and only needed 3 more to win this battle between the both of your sparring. You could see his small smirk as you waited, shivering from the intense ice and cold inching your body temperature - slowly coming back to normal.
Once the ice had melted off your arms and legs, you reached out to the bi - color boy giving him a tight hug. If you hadn’t known any better, you could’ve swore you felt his left side heat up. His cheeks were flushed red and his eyes bulging out of his body. He’d never gotten any type of affection like you gave him, and he’d be lying if he said he didn’t like it. Despite the faint sweat smell and few pro hero’s watching you hug the boy - it was comforting to say the least. Right when he was about to reciprocate the touch - he felt your left shoulder heat up just like his. 
He stepped back cautiously, trying to strategize how you made your quirk into his, “Yeah. Your quirk is pretty cool honestly, wouldn’t mind taking it and seeing if you can escape your own powers.”  You shot the ice surrounding the boy, all the while fire coming towards his direction simutaneously; and he could do nothing but let you get your point in defeating him.
Tumblr media
MIDORIYA
poor boy is so confused how you did it
until he realized that hug wasn’t for affection but it was for your quirk to activate.
but he catches on quick.
You were fond of Midoriya and his constant rambling and questioning about your quirk with his small notebook in one hand and his pen in the other. ‘this is my chance’ you thought to yourself before grasping to boy in your embrace. He gasped shyly - almost inaudible; before wrapping his hands around your waist subconciously. “You’re so cute Izuku! but I rather show you my quirk rather than tell you. What’s the fun in that?” you smiled parting from his warmth, before turning on the full cowling through your legs.
His genuine smile left turning into a freightened one, looking at All Might silently freaking out about how you copied his quirk. All Might wasn’t any help however, eyes blown wide and standing in his seat to get a better look at you. “Jesus how do work this quirk, I feel like my bodies gonna break.” your murmured before focusing the energy towards your fist going into Midoriya’s direction sending the poor boy flying.
Tumblr media
BAKUGOU
This boy was hard to contain
he would NOT give you any openings whatsoever
you just prayed he would have one weak spot, or at least one opening for you to touch him.
But deep down you knew that wasn’t gonna happen 
so you had to compromise with yourself and go to Plan B
“Hey Bakugou! that’s your name right?” The blonde boy grunted in response not wanting to look at his opponent anymore than he had to. You sucked in your breathe preparing for the boy to send you in flames when you hugged him, ”I saw your work at the UA festival on TV. just wanted to say I really admired you.” you held your tongue ready for the outcome; but he just stood there shocked - hands at his sides and body tensed. It only took him a second to come back to his senses as he pushed you off of him making you fall to the floor groaning at the impact.
“What the hell? don’t fucking touch me! I don’t even know your ass and I won’t hesitate to send you flying.” He looked at you for a second, wincing at your hunched figure that he had cause by sending a little to much force in his push. He didn’t mean to hurt you, just get you off of him because he didn’t like the emotions flowing through his body.
“Right. Sorry!” you apologized heading into the training room to be examined by the pros, hiding the smirk that pulled at your lips. “I’m not holding back.” He shouted, sparks forming in his hands. “Didn’t expect you to. I can tell from your quirk that this really puts an impact on your hands huh? you’re brave! this shit hurts like hell just trying to activate it.” He opened his mouth ready to yell right back, before closing it again as your words finally hit his senses, how do you know?
for the first time, Bakugo grew silent - which only gave you enough time to activate his quirk and hit him aiming for his stomach. He flew into the walls, only causing him to grow angrier. “How the fuck did you steal my quirk?” “Less talking more fighting. This is your quirk, and I just threw you in a wall? embarrassing.” you scoffed, bringing the sparks back to your hands once more.

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN YOU MASTERLIST

< previous chapter
Word Count: 1,800ish
Summary: the battle continues....
Notes: You must read Out Of Time in order to understand this. The chapter numbers continue from Out Of Time.
Tumblr media
The fight was raging on as Clint ran through the battle field, the gauntlet and Stones with him.
“Cap!” He called over the comms. “What do you want me to do with this damn thing?”
“Get those Stones as far away as possible!” Steve ordered.
“No!” Bruce exclaimed. "We need to get them back where they came from.”
“No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel,” Tony added.
“Hold on!” Scott interrupted. “That wasn’t our only time machine.” Suddenly, the song La Cucaracha began playing.
“Anyone see an ugly, brown van up there?” Steve wondered, going to higher ground to try himself.
“Yes!” Valkyrie answered. “But you’re not gonna like where’ it’s parked!”
“Scott, how long do you need to get that thing working?” Tony asked.
“Maybe ten minutes,” Scott responded.
“Get it started,” Steve said. “We’ll get the Stones to you.”
“Not until this is finished,” Y/N said. “I need to be able to channel the Stones.” She was blasting the creatures attacking her to bits, trying to reach the Stones.
“Well hurry! You have ten minutes.”
~~~
Dr. Strange was finishing up a group of Chitauri when Tony landed beside him. His helmet disappeared as he came closer to the sorcerer. 
“Hey. You said one out of 14 million, we win, yeah? Tell me this is it,” Tony begged.
“If I tell you what happens, it won’t happen,” Strange responded.
“You better be right… Just tell me if Y/N lives.”
“She demanded the same information about you. And I can’t give you what you want either.”
“I just need to know if she survives this. I don’t care about myself or anyone else, I just need to know about Y/N.”
“I cannot tell you.”
“Then promise me you’ll do everything you can to help her and keep her safe.”
Strange sighed, his heart aching the in familiarity of the conversation. “Of course.”
~~~
Y/N was trying to be careful with the amount of energy she was using. She knew that she needed to save up for a more crucial moment that laid ahead. As she fought off the army, the gauntlet was being tossed around to whoever was the safest for it at the moment. Y/N could hear the voices of who had it in her ear, but she was far more concerned with the battle in front of her.
“Rain fire!” Thanos’ voice boomed across the battlefield.
Y/N inhaled sharply and looked up at the ship that was preparing to fire. Y/N flew up as they began to fire. She quickly noted at one hit Wanda, flinging her away from where she was fighting Thanos. Angry, Y/N flung her arms out and a giant force field formed between the battlefield and the ship.
“Y/N!” A few voices exclaimed.
Tony flew up, hovering beside her. “Honey, I’m right here. You got this.” He could see the strain on her face as she tried her best to protect everyone. “Let me know when you need me and I’ll be right here to catch you.”
All Y/N could do was nod. Tony rushed back down to join the others.
“Uh, is anyone else seeing this?” Rhodey said.
Strange looked over, noticing that water is rushing from the broken dam. Flooding the battlefield. He hurried over, using his magic to stop the water. While he focused his magic on the water, Strange looked up to see how Y/N was holding up. The force field was still taking fire and Y/N seemed to be handling it okay. But there was really no way of telling from down there.
Y/N had her eye clenched, with really no idea of how she was doing what she was doing. But she knew she couldn’t stop. Taking a shaking breath, Y/N peeked her eyes open to seeing the ship’s cannons change direction. Shooting at something in the sky.
“What the hell is this?” Sam wondered.
“FRIDAY, what are they firing at?” Tony asked.
“Something just entered the upper atmosphere,” the AI answered.
A bright light of thundering energy came surging down as Carol Danvers flew through the ship. The ship exploded, crash-landing into the lake.
“Oh, yeah!” Rocket exclaimed.
“Danvers, we need an assist here,” Steve said. Carol nodded, flying down.
“Y/N, you can come down now,” Tony said as he blasted a creature away. No response. “Y/N?” He looked up. Y/N was still there, the force field slowly retracting. Everyone else paused to look up as well, trying to figure out what was going on. “Y/N, answer me!”
With the force field completely gone, Y/N hovered there for a few seconds. Tired, she tried to regain her strength. But instead, her eyes fluttered closed and she plummeted towards the earth.
“Y/N!!!!”
Tony flew to her, catching his wife and holding her tightly to him.
“I got you,” he whispered. “I got you.”
“Tony…” Y/N rasped, slowly coming to as Tony landed.
“I’m right here.” His helmet disappeared. “Always falling,” he smirked.
She pushed away, signaling for him to set her down. Tony did so, keeping his hands firmly on her waist.
“Are you okay?” He worried.
“I’m fine,” she said. “I just didn’t know I could do that.”
“Let’s not do that again then, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Stay safe.” Tony pressed a kiss to her temple before flying away.
Y/N looked around, trying to sense where the Stones were. Her eyes caught sight of Peter, hugging the gauntlet close to his body. Carol was in front of him, going to help him up. Y/N portaled over.
“I don’t know how you’re gonna get it through all that,” Peter said after he handed over the gauntlet.
“Don’t worry,” Wanda replied, landing beside them.
“She’s got help,” Okoye added.
The rest of the women on the battlefield appeared behind Carol. Y/N smirked, sending Peter a nod and a wink. Carol flew with the gauntlet through the army as the others fought them off. 
“Carol!” Y/N exclaimed. “You can’t send the Stones through yet!” 
“We have to,” Bruce responded. “You heard wh—“
“We can’t! Not yet!! I need them. Give them to me.”
“Y/N, what are you thinking?” Tony asked.
“I’m thinking that it’s time to end this, once and for all. And I can’t do that without the Stones.”
“Do you know what you’re doing, Y/N?” Carol asked.
“I will.”
“I’m on my way back to you.”
But before Carol could get to Y/N, Thanos threw is sword at the van, causing an explosion and blasting Carol away. She lost her grip on the Stones as she did.
“No!” Y/N exclaimed. 
She portaled herself over there only for Thanos to hit her back through. Tony quickly flew into Thanos, tackling him to the ground. The wrestled on the ground for a bit before Thanos tossed Tony to the side, causing him hit his head and get knocked out. Thor flew in next, Stormbreaker held high. With help from Steve and Mjolnir, Thor tried to pin Thanos’ arm down. However, Thanos overpowered them both, knocking them out.
As Y/N finally stood back up, Thanos picked up the gauntlet. Carol got to Thanos before Y/N did, punching at him. She kept punching him, but was grabbed my the arm and flung away. Y/N portaled in front of him right as Thanos slipped on the gauntlet, the gamma radiation eating at him.
“Trying to stop me too, little girl?” Thanos taunted.
“I don’t need to try,” Y/N responded.
Holding out her hands, she willed the Stones to her. Cracking the gauntlet, the Stones ripped out and circled around Y/N. Tony, coming too, noticed the scene and pushed himself onto his hands and knees, his helmet disappearing into his suit. He was panting as he quickly made eye-contact with Dr. Strange, who was still holding the water up. With a shaking finger, Strange signaled that this was the one shot they had. Scared for Y/N’s safety, Tony shot up, going to help his wife. Strange quickly held him back with his magic. 
Tony looked back, desperate. “Let me go.”
“I’m sorry,” Strange responded. “But I promised her first."
“Impossible,” Thanos gasped. He fell back as Y/N slowly floated above him.
“I’ve waited a long time for this day,” Y/N responded. Her voice was soft, yet powerful. God-like even. She could be heard throughout the battlefield without having to raise her voice. “I’ve suffered and I’ve thrived. I’ve waited, and I’ve grown irritated with time. But it’s all worth it because I get to end this… once and for all.”
Spreading her arms out and up, tendrils sprouted from the Stones. They spread out, growing across the battlefield. As the tendrils touched those of Thanos’ army, they turned to dust. Thanos watched for a few moments in shock before growling and standing back up. He grabbed Y/N’s foot, yanking her down to the ground and causing the Stones to fall to the ground as well. She grunted as she tumbled in the dirt and debris before coming to a stop.
“Y/N!” Tony exclaimed, pointlessly trying to fight his way to her.
She was still on the ground when Thanos raised his fist. And he came down to hit her, she portaled to stand behind him.
“You missed,” she taunted through her panting.
Y/N pushed a hand forward, blasting Thanos back into a pile of debris. The Stones floated back to her as she marched towards the Titan. Each Stone found a place on her left arm, burning into her skin without her feeling physical pain.
“14 millions ways,” Y/N said, “yet we only win one… I don’t understand how, especially with the Stones on my side. But it doesn’t matter now. Because this is the one we win. You had no chance.”
“There’s always a chance,” Thanos grunted as he tried to get up.
With a flick of her wrist, Thanos’ limbs were pinned by the debris. He struggled against it as she sauntered closer.
“Unfortunately, I’m afraid you’re all out of chances,” she replied. Y/N held up her left arm, the Stones glowing. “Any last words before I end you and anyone you could possibly be allied with?”
“I am… inevitable."
“And I am your doom.”
Then she snapped her fingers and a blinding white light came over the battlefield.

chapter III
Tumblr media
-> sallyfacexf!reader
-> enemies? to lovers
-> previous | next
cw: drugs, cigarettes, abuse, violence
*does not follow original plot of sally face*
Tumblr media
summary: (y/n) wakes up early to avoid sally. sally’s upset that he did something wrong yesterday. (y/n)’s first meeting with travis isn’t the nicest.
Tumblr media
The incessant beeping of your alarm tugs you out of your dreamless sleep.
The sticky tears on the ground remind you of yesterday’s events, but you disregard them. All you want to do is take a shower, throw on your jacket and get out the door. You slowly clamber up off the ground and across the living room to turn off the alarm. After making sure it’s not on snooze, you drag your sore body to the shower. It smells like smoke and lots of cleaning supplies. This place is fucking gross. Is it even monday?’ you check the calendar. It is, in fact, monday. You strip and turn the shower handle.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
You're so glad that you chose to wake up early. Usually kids this far from school drive or get picked up by the bus, but you prefer to use your skateboard. That’s why you get up at 6:30, so you have enough time to get ready and get to school on time. Sanity’s fall quietly played as you washed your breakfast plate and cup, brushing grease residue off the greyish porcelain. You wonder if Sal is awake yet. Probably not. You know, waking up early ensures that you won't see him in the morning. The guy’s not that bad, his eyes just freak you out a little.
Pulling the pink glove off your prosthetic, you wipe your hands with a towel and move to the closet to put your shoes on.
“Jacket, jacket, jacket, jacket.” you mumble, eyebrows knitted. “Where are you?” oh, right, you left it in your room.. With poppy. Was that even her name? You kind of just decided it for her.
Alright, don't be a pussy. Just go in and grab the jacket. You sucked in a breath and opened the door to your room.
“Eeh! A teenager! What’s your name, little lady?” her blond ponytail bounced with every sentence. This was the first time you could get a good look at her. She didn't really have feet, just bloody stumps where they used to be.
“Holy fuck, you’re so loud!” your hands covered your ears.
“Ahh, so sorry! I haven't used my voice in years.” she coughs.
“S’ fine... Can I just- just grab my jacket?” you point at the green pile amidst the boxes all around the room. You didn't get a chance to set up.
“Go ahead!” she nods and smiles.
“Alright. uh, listen, lady. This-” you motion towards the whole room. “Is my room. I live here now. I get that you, like, can't leave this place and shit, but could you maybe sit quietly while i set up later? I really need to clean my room up. I’ll set up a little chair place for you or whatever, so you could sleep at night.” you mumble the last part, embarrassed about your hospitality.
“I can’t sleep.” she smiles, her teeth surprisingly shiny for a ghost’s. God, she’s so preppy that you forgot she’s dead.
“Pretend to then, i dont fucking know. Alright, i have to go. Just… don't cause trouble.” grabbing the jacket, you begin shutting the door. “My name’s (y/n), by the way.”
You can hear her squeals as you leave the apartment. You decide to take the elevator because you don't feel like running down the stairs with a heavy ass bag on your back.. Stepping in, you press the main floor button. It looks like there’s a bit of sticky stuff around it. gross. Syrup? You hoped so.
The elevator dings and you step out, heading out the front doors. It’s cloudy. Again. Not a surprise, really. Keeping your eyes on the gravel, you set down your skateboard and begin your journey to school.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Sal’s point of view:
“She probably went on without us, man. Don’t know why you're worrying so much.'' Larry leaned back into the bus seat.
“It’s not that, Larry face. Yesterday, when we left…” was it my fault? Did i scare her? Did she see my face through the mask? Fuck.
“What is it? Spit it out, sally dude.” he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and puffed the smoke out the window.
“I think i scared her, larry. I think she saw my face.” i let out a shaky breath. God, everything was going good. Why the fuck does this stupid face ruin everything?
“Did you- did you take your mask off?” he sat up in the seat, eyes wide.
“No. She probably saw it through my mask.”
“I still dont get it. Explain more, dude.”
“She looked so scared. We made eye contact, and she, like, panicked. Her eyes widened and then she threw me out. It was definitely my eyes. We were fine the whole night, i dont know why she freaked out.”
Larry let out a long hum. He was probably trying to piece things together. Anyway, she definitely went to school earlier than us. I can ask her about it there.
“Woah, sally face. Calm down or you’ll go bald.” larry’s hands pulled mine off my pigtails. Huh, i didnt even notice.
“Thanks, dude. I think we’re here.”
Your point of view:
It was around eight o’clock by the time you arrived. Kids were already piling out of buses and cars, standing by the school’s entrance and conversing with their friends. You definitely felt some eyes on you. That was expected, though. They didnt recognize you, and nockfell didnt seem like a town with many new people. Thinking back to yesterday, sal and larry mentioned some bully kid. Probably wouldnt be hard to spot him.
“Watch it, goth freak!” a pair of hands gripped onto your shoulders.
Ah, what a coincidence.
“Get the fuck off me, fucking prick.” he twitched as you gripped onto his hands and pushed him away.
“Is that a metal hand? Ha, you’re a fucking cripple! How pathetic.” he chuckled. Blond hair draped itself across his forehead, definitely not complimenting the purple shade of his shirt and eye. School fight? or daddy issues? Who knows. I mean, you’re not one to speak, your dad’s literally dead.
“Let me guess, you’re that bully fucker they talked about. God, isnt there enough troubled kids in Nockfell?” you rolled your eyes, just wanting to get to school.
When you said you had bad luck, you really meant it, because all of a sudden, his fist landed on your face.
Are you fucking serious?
You just moved here yesterday and you’ve already been fucked up twice. You can’t keep taking hits, (y/n)! You gotta dish some out!
Sighing in disbelief, you reached out to your gushing nose.
“Mother.” you flicked the blood off your prosthetic hand. “Fucker.”
At this, travis bolts. You drop your bag and get back on your skateboard, weaving through the crowd to get to that shrimpy little fuck.
“I’m so fucking done with nockfell.” blood trails down the side of your face as you lock your eyes on the blond mop of hair in front of you.
Do you jump? Or let him get away?
Nah, you jump.
The skateboard shoots out beneath you as you kick off. He lets out a strangled cry as you land on his back and send him to the concrete. A few whoops can be heard from the kids far behind you.
“Fuck, i’m sorry! Get off me!” he scrambles beneath you.
“Now you’re fucking sorry?”
He doesnt say anything. You slowly climb off, keeping a hand on his neck.
“Pussy.” a snicker escapes you.
“What’d you just-” the hand on his neck squeezes tighter and shuts him up.
“What’s your name again?”
“Tr-travis, fuck.”
“Travis, huh? Well, travis-”
“(Y/n)? What are you doing on Travis?”
Sal’s point of view:
Me and larry were getting off the bus when we heard a bunch of cheering. Weird. I looked in the direction larry was staring. Hold on, that’s travis and some other kid on top of him.
“Sally face! I think that’s fucking (Y/n)! Holy shit!” larry shakes my shoulder. That’s actually her! What is she doing on travis?
“Larry, c’mon, we have to go get her off!” i try pulling him away, but he doesnt budge.
“No way, man! I wanna see her beat him up! She’s doing what you won’t let me do!” he smiles wide. Fuck, i guess i’ll just have to go alone. Larry frowns as i drop my bag and begin running towards them. I’m not letting her get in trouble on the first day. I hear her say something to him as i come closer.
“(Y/n)? What are you doing on travis?”
She looks up in surprise. Holy shit, she’s bleeding!
“I’ve gotten fucked up twice in the past 24 hours. I’m not letting this fuck get away with it.” She snarls. As bad as i feel, she’s kind of attractive, bloody and feral like that. God, what the fuck? Not time for this, sal.
“Oh my god, (y/n)! Here, uh, get up and i’ll take you to the office.”
Your point of view:
You look back at travis. There’s a visible blush on his face, and he’s staring straight at sally.
Oh.
OH.
A smirk forms on your face.
“No thanks, porcelain face. Me and blondie here will go by ourselves. Right?”
He growls, but you tighten your grip on his neck again and he nods.
“Uh, okay. Do you want me to take your skateboard or something?” Sal scratches his head and changes the topic. Just a sliver of jealousy can be found in him, but he is grateful for the nickname. It suits him.
Your expression darkens for a second, all of a sudden feeling possessive of your skateboard. He’s not touching it. It was your dad’s.
“No. Take my bag or something.” you nod towards it by the entrance of the school, where it sits. He obeys and gets up to pick up your bag. You pull travis up with you, blood dripping down your shirt and an arm around his shoulders. Sal’s quite a bit away at this point.
“You gay?” you hum. Travis’s back straightens and fear flashes through his eyes. How did you know? How the fuck did you know?
“No! Fuck you, you’re just a pussy who thinks she knows everything-” he starts yelling, trying to get away, but you interrupt him.
“God, shut up. You’re making my head hurt more. It’s okay, you know. I wont fucking tell anyone about your little self exploration journey.” you pat him on the back and he flushes.
“Fuck, you’re so sappy it’s disgusting.”
“I’m not gonna be a dick to someone because of their sexuality, fuckass. I’m not that low. Let’s get to the school.”

~**~
You held your breath as your heart thumped in anticipation. The shadow behind the shower curtain suddenly turned toward you and your eyes widened.
You braced yourself against the cold tile of the shower as the dark blue shower curtain was tugged aside. You gasped and jumped up.
“Found you, Noona!”
You grinned at the excited smiley face of your little brother. Easy laughter made it’s way out of your throat as you stepped out of the bath. You leaned forward and started tickling his stomach as he tried to squirm out of your grip.
He ended up running out of the bathroom to get away, “Youngsoo, what did I say about running indoors?” But soon after you found yourself running after him, laughing.
The both of you ended up back in the living room, where your younger sister sat, doing something on your phone to pass the time. She was the first one to get caught in the game and had been sitting there a while, but when the two of you made your grand entrance she sent a stunning smile up at you.
“Unnie! You’re always too good at this game.” You smiled and landed beside her on the couch, your little brother climbing on your lap.
You loved spending time with your little siblings. Being an idol was demanding and you barely had time to see them, so when the boys decided they wanted to have a night out to themselves, you thought it was a perfect idea to have them over. It also gave your parents a chance to have a night to themselves as well, so it ended up a win for everyone.
Your little brother, Youngsoo, and sister, Mina, were six and nine and there was nothing you loved more in the world than them. Well, your boys were also high up on the list, but what they don’t know won’t kill them.
You laughed at your own thoughts and the two little ones looked up at you, “What’s so funny, Noona?”
You rubbed Youngsoo’s head, “Ahh, just thinking about how much I love you little munchkins.”
“We’re not little!” You sister entervined. “And we’re not munchkins!” Your brother continued. You laughed at their combined one brain cell and felt your phone vibrate from within your hoodie pocket.
‘We’ll be home within the hour, love’ You blushed a little as you typed out a simple ‘Ok’ to Namjoon’s text.
“Ohh, Unnie is typing to her special people. Look at her face!” Mina said to Youngsoo, pointing at you. You smiled endearingly, “How did you know?” They both squealed as Youngsoo wiggled out of your lap.
You chased them around the living room for a couple minutes before you grabbed both of them by their shirts and pulled them back onto the couch. “I think it’s time for you guys to head to bed.” You said, still a little out of breath.
They both awwed and looked up at you with puppy dog eyes, “Aish, don’t give me those! I already let you stay up 30 minutes after your bedtime. Do you want me to get yelled at by Eomma?”
They both shook their head no in sync and you couldn’t help the small giggle that escaped you. “Come on you little rebels.”
You led them back into your room and turned on the light, helping them brush their teeth and change into their pajamas in the connected bathroom. When you finally settled them into bed and were tucking them in, you heard a small crash in the kitchen.
You turned around and went to your bedroom door. ‘Are they home already?’ You were about to call out to them when you noticed a figure clad in in black clothing slowly making their way into the living room.
An unknown black clad figure.
White hot panic rushed through your veins as you put a hand over your mouth to stifle the scream that wanted to come out. You heard movement behind you and whirled around to see Mina looking at you with wide eyes.
She was about to say something before you moved your hand from your mouth to hers, silencing her. You looked over at Youngsoo who had the same bewildered expression on his face and motioned to stay quiet.
You were shaking as you tried to silently pick up Youngsoo from the bed so the rustling of the sheets wouldn’t attract your intruder. At the reminder that there was an unknown potentially hostile individual in the dorm sent another rush of fear, panic, and adrenaline through your system.
That was not a good mix.
You opened your bathroom door and lifted both Mina and Youngsoo into the tub. Mina had tears in her eyes while Youngsoo was already silently crying. Your heart constricted and you almost started crying yourself. There was another set of crashes coming from the living room and you had to stop yourself from going into a panic attack at the sound of Mina and Youngsoo’s whimpers.
You were their big sister and loved them more than anything. It was your job to keep them safe.
To protect.
You took a deep breath and squeezed their hands, forcing them to look into your eyes, “Look at me. Keep your hands over your ears, do you hear me? Even when the noises stop. Don’t listen.” Your voice came out in a shaky whisper, but the look in your eyes was firm. When the two just kept staring at you with their tearful eyes and wobbly chins, you squeezed their hands again.
“Promise me.” You held out both your pinkies in front of their faces. They slowly reached up and intertwined their pinkies with yours. All of you were shaking.
You kissed your intertwined pinkies and then both of their foreheads. You stood up and didn’t turn around until you saw that they covered their ears with their hands like promised.
You took slow and careful steps out of the bathroom and locked the door behind you. You were met with a dark room. ‘Wait, didn’t I leave the light on?’
Your eyes widened in fear and you almost dropped to the floor with how much your legs were shaking. Your only thoughts were that they had come into the room without you noticing and turned off your lights. ‘Did they see Youngsoo and Mina?’
You almost slapped yourself when you realized, oh yeah, you had a phone! You could call the police! You searched for it in your hoodie but when your hands came up empty you panically searched your jean pockets.
You didn’t have your phone. It must have been left on the couch.
Your breathing picked up and you almost started to hyperventilate. You focused on the fact that you had to protect your younger siblings. You were their only line of defense and you would be damned if you didn’t go down swinging.
You gulped and took shaky steps toward your bedroom door. You peaked your head in the hallway but quickly ducked back into the room when you saw the black clad figure walk across the living room.
You heard some more crashing sounds but then everything went quiet. After a few seconds you looked out again and saw nothing but Yoongi’s opened door. His room was a few ahead of yours, on the other side of the hallway. You thanked your younger self for picking the room the furthest down in the hallway when you and the guys first moved in.
Seeing the coast was clear and hoping that the intruder would stay in Yoongi’s room, you silently made your way into the hallway, locking your bedroom door behind you. You slowly made your way to the living room.
You needed to get your phone from the couch. The only problem was that you had to move past Yoongi’s room to get to the living room, and the chance of the intruder seeing you made you almost pass out. You decided that you were going to slam Yoongi’s door shut and lock the intruder in. You took a deep breath and steeled your resolve. You could do this! You had to do this! Some part of you still refused to believe that this was happening.
You ran up and with a yell you slammed the door shut and locked in right after. To your confusion and slight terror, there was no sound. You slowly backed up and were struck with fear when your back hit something other than the wall. Everything was still for a second before you felt a breath by your ear.
“Boo.”
You screamed at the top of your lungs and booked it down the hallway, toward the living room. You saw your phone sitting on the couch and dove to grab it. You fell over the back of the couch and scrambled up to your feet.
The intruder was standing at the intersection where the living room meets the hallway. Their face was covered up by a mask, so you couldn’t really make out anything about the person.
Their eyes, however, held madness and insanity.
They took slow, loud steps toward you and you saw something gleam in their hand. 
A knife.
You looked around you and, with the hand not holding your phone, you grabbed the lamp that was sitting on a nearby bookshelf. With no hesitancy at all, you threw the lamp at them. They stumbled back and that was all you needed to run toward the bathroom that was just a few steps toward your right.
You slammed and locked the door behind you as you felt the intruder pounding against it. You scrambled back, almost falling over into the bathtub. Your phone was in a death grip and you wasted no time in opening it and dialing the police.
Your hands were so shaky that you had to retype the three digit code a couple times. When you finally got it right, you put the phone to your ear and bit on the thumbnail of your other hand. The pounding on the door didn’t stop.
“119, how-“
You cut them off before they had a chance to finish, “Please help me,” Your voice came out breathless. “There’s an intruder in my house and they have a knife!”
“Ma’am, please calm down. Tell me your location. Are you alone or hurt?”
You quickly recited the address and told the lady on the other end about Youngsoo and Mina. She dispatched police and an ambulance immediately after you finished the address.
“Come out, come out Y/n!” The voice on the other side of the door yelled. You vaguely filed away that the voice was female.
You choked on a sob as the lady on the phone continued to talk. You couldn’t hear her over the sound of your own heartbeat and the yelling of the intruder. This went on for about 30 more seconds before the pounding suddenly stopped.
“Should I get the two little kiddies sitting in your bathroom instead?”
Your world stopped and you dropped the phone in your hand. White hot panic once again surged through you at the thought of her hurting your siblings. “No!” Your voice came out as a hoarse cry as you slammed the bathroom door open and threw yourself onto the woman.
The impact surprised her and her knife slipped from her hands and skidded on the floor. You clawed at her face, hitting her in any way you could.
The intruder fought back and she eventually threw you off of her. You landed on your wrist painfully but the adrenaline soon took over and you were diving at her again with a cry.
She was ready for you this time and sidestepped your poor attempt. You tripped over your legs and hit your nose on the floor. You instantly tasted blood.
Suddenly the woman was on top of you and you couldn’t move. She put her hands around your neck and you clawed and prayed at them with everything you were worth. You couldn’t breathe and once again a panic attack curled at your conciousness, and before you could stop it, it dug its cold hands into your brain and lungs. You were trying to hyperventilate but couldn’t breathe in and there were dots spreading across your vision.
Suddenly the front door was thrown open and your seven boys along with several police officers ran in. You couldn’t think straight, but you saw someone tackle the intruder that was on top of you to the ground. You grabbed at your throat and greedily sucked in air, but instead of it helping, you only coughed and grabbed at your head, still in panic mode. You felt several pairs of arms wrap around you and multiple voices, but you couldn’t focus on any of them.
Your only thoughts were on Mina and Youngsoo.
You tried pushing away everyone in blind panic to get back to your siblings but the hands only held on tighter and you couldn’t escape. You were yelling at that point and hit someone in the face. You didn’t feel the needle in your neck, but you did notice how your body went lax.
You passed out soon after.
~~
You woke up to the soft beeping of a heart monitor; your senses assaulted by the harsh smell of disinfectant.
The next thing you registered was that there were two hands holding both of yours. They were warm.
You slowly opened your eyes only to shut them tightly once more when the harsh hospital lights hit them. You heard someone whisper something and after a few seconds the lights in the room dimmed.
You felt someone squeeze your left hand and you opened your eyes again to stare into Hoseok’s warm brown ones. There was only a split second of starring before the events of the day before caught up to you.
You started crying and that shortly turned into full on sobbing as you clutched Hobi’s and Jin’s - you realized belatedly that he was the other one holding your hand - hands.
Hoseok looked pained as he looked at you, “Oh baby.” He slowly sat you up and pulled you into a hug. You clutched to him like he was your lifeline. All the pain, fear, and panic rushed out of you with your tears and you already felt exhausted.
Someone was pulling their fingers through your hair as another embraced you from behind. They boys all looked on to the sight with heavy hearts and tears in their own eyes. They couldn’t believe this had happened.
After a few minutes of comforting you, your sobs turned into sniffles and you leaned back against the hospital bed you were on. You were still in the clothes you were in yesterday and after you had calmed down, you were suddenly hit with how much your nose and wrist ached.
“Here, love.” Yoongi held out a glass of water and you gingerly took it in your uninjured hand. “Careful.”
As you nursed your water they had told you about what had happened once they arrived home. How horrified and dumbstruck they were when they saw a random person choking you in the middle of their living room. Jungkook was the one who had tackled the woman while Taehyung was sporting a bruised face.
You almost started sobbing again when they said it was you who bruised Tae’s face in your struggle to get to your siblings, but they quickly shushed you and gave you quiet reassurance that it was ok. They knew you would never do something like that intentionally and you gingerly kissed Tae’s face where the bruise was in apology.
At the thought of your siblings you almost sprung out of bed, but they held you down and told you they were ok. Mina and Youngsoo were found in your bathroom hugging each other as they had their hands over their ears. They were safe with not even a scratch on their bodies. You did good. They were safe.
This time you cried in relief and the boys couldn’t help but cry with you. Jimin was the first one to walk up and hug you, then Jin, Jungkook, and Namjoon joined. Soon you were caught in the middle of a big group hug; everyone was crying.
“We are never, ever letting you out of our sight again.” Jin said into your shoulder.
Jungkook sniffed, “I was so scared, Y/n-ah. I thought you were going to die.”
The pain in his voice made all of your hearts constrict and you wiggled out of the group hug to grab Kookie’s head with your hands. You caressed his checks softly while rubbing at his tears. “Thank you for saving me, Kook-ah.” He cried harder and engulfed you in another hug.
After a few hours of doctors checking on you and giving your statement to the police, you were free to leave and go back to the dorms. The guys refused to let you walk on your own and Namjoon ended up giving you a piggyback ride to the car.
You giggled as he sat you down and buckled you in like you were a kid. “I can take care of myself, Joonie.”
“And?” He made sure your seatbelt was on tight and kissed you on the forehead. He sat next to you as the others filed in.
Your manager announced that you all will be taking a few days off to make sure you healed properly and were taken care of. Idol health came first, and the last thing you wanted to do was worry the fans.
It got out somehow that you were in the hospital and ARMY went berserk trying to figure out what happened. A day after you got home, it was announced on TV that an infamous sasaeng was now in custody and the fans quickly linked that incident with your hospital visit. You took to twitter to announce that you were ok and all you had was a broken nose and sprained wrist. Fans and idol’s alike showed their support and you were overcome with a sense of security from the fandom. You were so grateful that everyone was understanding and there for you.
Even though everything settled down, mundane things became difficult for you. You were all briefed that you would most likely have trauma from the event, but you didn’t really understand that until now.
You constantly had to have one of the boys around you, otherwise you would be overcome with a sense of fear that one of them might be hurt. Jimin and Yoongi were usually the ones to sleep with you, because you were constantly plagued with night terrors otherwise. The first couple days were the worst though; you would wake up in the middle of the night, hyperventilating and on your way to a panic attack, but the two would give you kisses and cuddles and reassure you that everything was ok, no one could hurt you while they were there.
You also had trouble moving around the dorm by yourself, especially at night, so you had someone (usually Jin or Taehyung) with you. You were so thankful and grateful for them and wouldn’t trade them for anything.
These boys were the loves of your life and there was nothing they wouldn’t do for you, and vice-versa. Your lives were hectic and full of ups and downs, but when you had them standing beside you, you knew it would be ok. You were here to love and support each other, and more than anything, you would be here to keep them safe.
To protect.
