Were they kidding with this bullshit? Like, seriously? So many gates opening up to different dimensions now that there were too many for Supergirl to close and this? This is what they got? Fuck this. Seriously.
"Are you a virgin?" Mike asked like the total little dickhead he is.
"So what if I am? Aren't you? And the rest of your little friends?" Eddie sniped back at the rude little bastard but then, he blanched, "actually, don't answer that. I don't want to know."
Why did this have to be happening when Eddie was on a perimeter check?
Mike rolled his eyes like he couldn't believe how ridiculous Eddie was being, "Dumbass, we're children. Unicorns never go to innocent children in fairy tales. Because we're all innocent. They go to innocent adults. Virgins." He put far too much emphasis on the word because he is, as mentioned, a little dickhead.
"Listen, fuck you and the unicorn you rode in on. I'm not fucking innocent. I've done...things. Things I'm not gonna tell you about!" Eddie sputtered, crossing his arms and almost losing his precarious balance on the tree branch.
He needed to be careful because there was a unicorn circling underneath him. And not the beautiful, ethereal kind. It was beautiful, sure, but it had blood all over his muzzle and splattered across it's chest and on it's front hooves. Probably from the last virgin it had tracked down in god knows what dimension and trampled slash eaten to death. It's eyes were blazing red fire and it had fangs. Fangs. Fuck. That.
Eddie heard Steve sighing and then he flailed an arm from Eddie's tree branch to Robin and said, "It can't be trying to get you because you're a virgin, it's not going anywhere near Robin!"
The girl in question squeaked. Her ears and cheeks went bright red. All three of them turned to look at her.
"Wait, what? Was it you know who? From the...? You didn't tell me? When did you...?" Steve asked cryptically, shedding absolutely no light on who Buckley was knocking boots with.
"Yes after we met at the...place." Robin supplied lamely and then bared her teeth and said through them, "After. But before we went back in to fight Henry slash Vecna slash One." She shrugged and let out a hysterical sounding giggle. "It was...End of the World Sex. Just in case, you know?"
"Ohhhh I'm so proud of you!" And oddly, Steve really did sound proud. Which was weird. Eddie was pretty sure Robin was gay which meant the caginess was in reference to a girl but the fact that Steve was so supportive was a little suprising.
Without actively thinking about the repercussions, Eddie's mouth decided to test that theory, "Well damn, wish I'd have thought of that. Steve - want to deflower me so this unicorn leaves me alone?" The hysterical giggle Eddie let out rivaled Robin's.
Slowly Steve turned back to him but before he could reply, Mike scoffed, "You are his type. Skinny, big bushy hair, big eyes, you and Nancy both talk like everyone is just waiting to listen to you to speak." He rolled his eyes, "Annoying."
"Rude!" Eddie tilted his head thoughtfully, "You know what though? I'm fine with it. Nancy Wheeler is a badass and I want to be her when I grow up. Or when I get down from this tree." Eddie cringed, staring down as the unicorn stopped and looked up, one of it's flaming eyes bore into him. It neighed, shaking it's gorgeous mane but also splattering little droplets of blood everywhere.
Gross. So gross.
"Huh. Now that you mention it..." Robin stared up at Eddie thoughtfully, "I totally see it."
Steve just dragged his hand down his face and glared at the angry unicorn, "Okay, we need a real plan because Eddie isn't coordinated enough to have sex in a tree." He put his hands on his hips like a baseball mom wondering if she brought enough orange slices and Shastas for the whole team. "Do we know any other adult virgins to lure this one away?"
Mike snorted, "Those are probably more rare than the unicorn.'
Eddie flipped him off, "You're rolling at disadvantage on all charisma and persuasion checks for the rest of time."
"We'll have to find a new DM when the unicorn gores you anyway," Mike shrugged. "Whatever."
Then he wandered off. Just walked away, like Eddie wasn't two feet away from being mauled by a feral beast who's name was probably Glitter Sparkle or some shit. What a dickhead.
Looking away from the unicorn, Eddie watched Robin wave Steve over and whisper to him. They had a hushed conversation for several minutes while Eddie yelled things like, "Wanna share with the class?" and "Good friends don't make shitty plans in secret!" But they ignored him. Bastards.
Until Steve turned to the tree and asked, "By 'things' what do you mean?"
What?
"Harrington, what the hell are you talking about?"
"You said you've done 'things' but not had sex. What things?" Steve brushed a hand through his miraculously still perfect hair, and sighed, obviously frustrated, "We're trying to figure out what the unicorn considers virginity. Robin's never..." He petered off and glanced back at her and then over at Mike who was half way down the block with his radio out, sitting on a bench with his back to them, probably telling everyone that Eddie still had his V card. Traitor.
He was too far away for them to hear his conversation so he was probably too far for theirs.
Robin cleared her throat. "I've never had, you know, penetrative sex. Just...um...uh...third base!" She squeaked again and then covered her face with her hands.
"You're being extremely weird about sex talk while a blood covered unicorn is stalking me like a jungle cat!" Eddie informed her. "Oral. Just say oral sex, you weirdo!"
"Ok fine!" She shouted, "I've given and reciprocated oral sex! Jesus." Then she crossed her arms and grumbled under her breath, tapping one foot on the grass.
Eddie couldn't help it. He laughed with glee. "Was she cute?"
Robin sputtered, mouth dropping in shock.
What? Did she think she was a subtle lesbian? Because she wasn't. Not at all. Her high tops had boobs drawn on them like some twelve year old boy just hitting puberty. He rolled his eyes.
Steve looked up at Eddie then. His eyebrows were arched in that way they get when he's thinking up a plan. They're not always good plans but he carries them out and everyone usually lives so, Eddie could do worse. "Well - Big Boy?" Steve's lips twitched in a smile at using Eddie's nickname for him. "I'm guessing when you said you've done 'things,' you were lying?"
"Yeah, duh." Eddie retorted, snapping in his irritation and mounting fear. Mounting, ha. Like a horse and like sex. Mounting. He bit his lip to contain the very poorly timed giggle.
Robin rolled her eyes, grabbed Steve's arm and gave him a severe 'be careful' look and then hustled over to where Mike was sitting. When Steve tucked his bat into his backpack and started to creep around the tree, he realized she was giving them privacy. Holy shit.
The unicorn didn't even acknowledge Steve's presence as he skirted around it and climbed the tree, grunting and complaining under his breath how nobody better call him the Virginsitter because he swears to God. Then the rest of his grumbling got lost, buried under the sound of Eddie's heart pounding in his ears.
Holy shit.
And that's how Eddie lost his mythically constructed virginity in a tree to Steve Harrington who was apparently bisexual and very, very good at blowjobs.
Neither of them even noticed which way the unicorn went.

For so long, I've held my tongue
Kept the thought, the feeling to myself
In fear of hurt, of a lie
Fear that I do not deserve anyone's love.
Saying it in words would make it real
Would make it clear
Would make it hurt
Would result in rejection.
A simply muttered 'You too'
All I would reply
Cause I fear what they feel for me isn't love
And that they are wrong for feeling it.
I hold my phone to my ear
And tell mum about my day
Then ask about hers
Then go to hang up.
"Bye Mum, I love you"
It slips from my tongue
With ease and without resistance
Completely unguarded.
The sounds finally make to my own ear
Then my brain
And hearing my own words
Stops me dead in my tracks.
Within a second
Tears threaten to start gathering
My breath stops
And fear blooms in my stomach.
The second second following with;
"I love you too, dear. Bye bye!"
And the peep of connection terminated.
Mum had said the truth.
It was so easy
It was so difficult
To say it
To believe it.
For years I put up higher and higher walls
Forbade vulnerable words
I've been afraid for so long
What if I wasn't anymore?

I vaguely talked about this in some tags earlier but now it's stuck in my head:
In french darth vader is called dark vador, probably because it's easier to pronounce for french people (but could also be very random, in ANH there's a bunch of wild translations, some of them stuck, some were switched back to the original in the other films 🤷) but now that I'm used to the English version it sounds kinda stupid ngl, except that I thought about how we (french people) would pronounce darth vader if they had kept it that way and omg this is even worse.
First: "darth". We pronounce sith as 'sit', so logically I'd say 'dart' but that sounds way too ridiculous, so probably 'darss'?
And Vader: most likely 'vahd-air'. Which. Yikes. But could be worse: vad-é ? Vad-er (like, Earl without the L)? Could be closer to vay-der if the movies were recent but in the 70s-80s there's no way.
But anyway:
Dart Vad-air
Lmao I'm crying help. Now I'm thinking about how people from different planets must have different accents, so there has to be some politician or something who only ever saw his name written so they pronounce it with their accent and call him Dart Vad-air to his face. How do you even react to that. How high is the risk of getting choked?

Flashfic Friday: Wordle
Mac was sitting up in his hospital bed, frowning at his phone, when Jack woke up. The stark white bandage wrapped around Mac's head was a horrifying reminder of how close they'd come to losing him.
"What's it? What's wrong?" Jack asked, stumbling up on numb legs to lurch closer to Mac's bed. He scrubbed a hand over his face to wipe away any traces of drool or eye gunk.
"Riley and Bozer solved the Wordle already," Mac turned his phone to show Jack that he was on his last guess and hadn't solved their nerd puzzle yet, "and I'm stuck."
Jack sunk down on the edge of the bed in relief that nothing was seriously wrong. Though, now that he looked at Mac's bruised face, he could see that this situation was of great importance to his partner. "Bud, you had brain surgery not even a week ago. It's okay if you don't solve your scramble thing."
"Wordle," Mac corrected with a glare, "and I've never lost one before."
Maybe they'd given Mac his phone back too soon, Jack thought as he gently took the device and read the guesses so far. All three of his kids had explained how the game worked on multiple occasions as they often played on the jet in a friendly battle of wits, so he knew what the green and yellow squares meant.
He immediately saw that all five letters were accounted for in Mac's previous guesses and made a mental note to talk with his doctor about that. Jack pretended to think about the word for a while longer, making a show of tracing letters in the air and muttering to himself.
Mac wasn't paying a lot of attention. His focus was on the paperclip he was twisting in his fingers as he tried to figure out the word too. Matty had brought the kid a container of paperclips when she'd visited yesterday, and Mac had successfully twisted about half the ones he tried. Sometimes he fell asleep in the middle of it, and sometimes his fingers just didn't do what he wanted them to do. It was going to be a long recovery from the head trauma he'd suffered on their last mission.
"Maybe try 'alive', bud," Jack suggested gently while holding the phone out.
Mac carefully typed it in and breathed a sigh of relief when it was correct. "Thanks, Jack."
"Anytime, hoss. Anytime."
