We need to try that again|| Jack Hughes x reader

Pairing: Jack Hughes x reader

Warnings: I never know what warnings to give, kissing (?)

Summary: In the heat of the moment, you kiss your boyfriend. The only problem? It was your first kiss with each other and he doesn’t feel he got to “savor” it enough. What a dork.

A/n: This is corny I know and probably so far from what Jack is like but let a girl be delusional.

Word Count: 800+

You and Jack would be cooking a meal together, alone and in the comfort of your own home. Or, maybe he would play an intense and very important game where he scored the game winning goal in OT and you two would meet afterwards, running into each other's arms like it was a cheesy romance film. Maybe he'd take you to a nice dinner and before getting into the car ask “can I kiss you?”

Maybe these fantasies were stupid to spend your time thinking about but after almost a month of dating Jack, almost a month without a single kiss, you had been hoping for something romantic and sweet to mark your first of, hopefully, many kisses. But there has been nothing. Nada. You have been patient and were happy to wait longer for him but just wanted to know, why? Why has it taken so long for him to kiss you?

But now that you think about it, you could easily kiss him first. Maybe it doesn’t matter if its sweet and well thought out. Maybe what you needed was a heated, spur of the moment kiss with your beautiful boyfriend.

But is that what you wanted, something not thought out? Didn’t you crave the anticipation of waiting knowing it was about to happen. Knowing that the butterflies in your stomach fluttered at the same velocity as the ones in his.

While lost in thought Jack had managed to finally reach your apartment. He was supposedly at practice. Actually there was no practice but that's what he told you so you'd be surprised when he came over with take-out and flowers. On his way over, he had to bite his lip to stop the stupid smile on his face, but the older woman passing by noticed it, as well as his urgency and the flowers in his hand, and gave him a knowing smile as she laughed while walking in the opposite direction. It was clear to everyone, those in his life and those just observing, that this relationship was different and he treated it as such.

He enjoyed the feeling of getting almost dizzy from all the excitement of being around you. It was new and so unlike anything he'd had with anyone else in the past. That's why he couldn’t get himself to make any new moves. It's scary to act when you feel something so intensely.

Opening the door to reveal a very smiley Jack Hughes was a very shocking but very welcome surprise.

“What the fuck are you doing here?”

“Wow come on don’t be too excited to see me” he replies snarkily.

“Im sorry, I just thought you'd had practice, you did tell me you had practice, did you not?”

“I did but I didn’t have practice. Wanted to surprise you so I stretched the truth a little. You aren’t upset about that, right?” He suddenly looked worried.

In that split second, you had made up your mind. Grabbing his collar and kissing him deeply, he drops the bag of food and flowers from impact. The noise they made startled you enough to come to your senses. As you quickly pull away, you can see a mix of confusion, panic, and possibly lust on his face. His silence snaps you out of your post kiss daze enough to start freaking out.

“Shit, Jack. I don't know what- I wasn’t thinking, i'm so-”

“We need to try that again.”

“Excuse me”

“You just kissed me”

“...I did”

“Quickly.”

“I guess”

“I didn’t get to savor it.” He coughs out. At this admission, his face is bright red and grows an even deeper red when he hears your laugh.

“Savor it? Oh my god, Jack, what romcom did you take that line from?”

“You know what? Maybe i'll enjoy these flowers and this food by myself if you want to-”

“Just get inside, Jack. I'll kiss you again but only if we aren't standing in the hallway for all my neighbors to see.”

When you pull him in and close the door, you realize this is what you had hoped for. Shared butterflied as you look at one another, waiting for the other to make a move, knowing what was next and being as excited as you were nervous for it.

Finally he pulls you in.

“Much better” Jack mumbles against your lips.

Random ActorAU Character Headcanons: RadioStatic Edition(Platonic; Besties)

Vox (Surname: Borle)

- He's a theater kid so he sometimes makes random references to plays or popular musicals. - "It's hard to be the bard~!" - Actually knows how to play the guitar and piano. - Absolutely hates the recorder(instrument) which Lucifer makes fun of him for. - His fashion sense is a war crime and if it weren't for Velvette he would've continued to look and dress like an idiot. - Like, the most apallingly ugly/colored patterns on his shirts, jackets or socks- - Can't tie a bowtie for shit, he knows how to wear a proper necktie though. - His costume in the show uses a clip-on unless it's supposed to look messy and undone. - Hates the summer heat with a passion. - Wears the thinnest layers during winter, loves the freezing cold. - Has somewhat of a sweet tooth, but drinks his coffee black. - Responsible for the most bloopers on set. - Either from tripping over things or because he can't stop laughing. - He actually drew the Alastor doodle from episode 2. - Which was still somehow better than Alastor's attempt at drawing his own character. - And he drew it during one of the script table readings out of boredom. - Vark is actually his dog, a huge golden retriever who was costumed as a shark for the "Get Off My Screen" Series. - Unironically has a huge hat collection, just because he can. - Would wear a different one every day to set no matter how random because it makes people laugh and smile when they see him. - He actually studied to be a software engineer before shifting courses to take acting instead. - So he does know how to code and mess with electronics. - Loves energy drinks and panera's charged lemonade. - Actually helps bend into his canon character's eccentric personality. - Regularly causes chaos on set. - Has broken his TV headpiece a number of times already. - Can't be told about the script in advance because he's prone to accidentally spoiling during interviews(like Tom Holland). - Doesn't have his own car, takes the train or taxis to get around. - On the more inexperienced side of the cast since he's not a bigshot actor like the others. - This show's actually been his first time on the big screen. - Can and will infodump about sharks if you let him. - Knows how to cook but only simple meals. - Pretty chatty, a dork and all around just a fun guy to be around.

Alastor (Surname: Bosco)

- Collects watches and sometimes shows them off when he can. - Does not know how to play an instrument at all. - That sequence in "Hell's Greatest Dad" with him on the piano? - He was just pressing random keys when the cameras rolled. - He has the vocal range of a god though. - Like this man can SING. - Prefers old things, and hilariously still even has an old radio in his home. - So his character is based on a lot of his preferences. - His wardrobe also reflects that. - Either on or off-screen this man looks dapper and posh. - Doesn't even need them but he wears glasses sometimes. - Just because it looks nice. - Loves his character's monocle and will wear it even without the whole costume. - Still uses an old Nokia, can't begin to wrap his head around an Iphone. - Is one of the screenwriters for the show, so a lot of the stupid or corny things that happen are mostly his fault. - Except for pentious' joke death. - He was sick when they wrote that so he wasn't able to stop everyone else. - Also has the most whack ass sleep schedule since he's often one of the last to leave but first to arrive on set. - Helps play into his canon character's creepiness and oddity. - Hence chugs coffee like it's his lifeline. - Hates the taste of energy drinks so you won't catch him with those. - This man is never late, ever. - Hates the cold, loves the heat. - Will be bundled up like the michelin mascot during winter it's hilarious. - Most often seen with Vox and they're both usually up to no good. - Either just messing with random things on set or actually being borderline chaotic. - Is asexual and sex-indifferent, though most of the cast assume he's sex repulsed because of the character he plays on screen. - Still calls soda 'pop'. - Can actually speak french. - Knows how to cook and cook WELL. - His mama taught him, and it's a fact he will always be proud to say. - Drives an Aston Martin V8 Vantage with a bright flaming red paintjob. - Yes it's a car model from the late seventies/early eighties. - He doesn't care if it's old it's his favorite thing ever and he takes care of that car like it's his child. - Doesn't prefer candy much, he'd rather give it to Nix or Vox. - Loves dark chocolate though.

(OKAY- When it came to the surnames- I know I mentioned that these guys take on the surnames of their actual VAs but I thought it'd be kinda funny to have both Al and Vox to have similar surnames since in this AU they swim in chaotic besties/sibling energy so yes- a reference to Alastor's pilot VA Edward Bosco! No this is not me saying one is better than the other, I seriously just wanted to make more funny pairs with these two idiots while they playfully piss each other off XD)

hi!!!! i just stumbled across your headcanons- they are so heartwarming! <3

could you maybe do a headcanon about the main six companions laughing? just what makes them crack up and have a good laugh. i feel like they really need some smiles after everything

thank you so much!!!

Hiya! I absolutely agree, these dorks need some laughs.

Tadpole Crew Laughing

Wyll, used to being quite the performer as the Blade of Frontiers as he tells grand stories, had this big, echoing laugh that he has when ‘putting on a show.’ Witty quips during his tales of grandeur followed by a steady laugh which is more performance than reality. When you get him alone, though, his laugh is softer. He’ll chuckle warmly at his own bad jokes, or snicker at something you’ve said, hand coming up instinctively to cover his mouth a bit. Those attempts to cover his laughter are easily foiled if you graze his sides with your fingers; he’s wicked ticklish. You’ll frequently catch him holding back a laugh while in public if he overhears something particularly absurd, eyes glimmering in amusement and his lips twitching slightly as he, poorly, tries to suppress a smile.

Gale mostly has nervous laughter at first. He’ll chuckle awkwardly or nervously during any conversations you have, since he’s worried his long-winded way of speaking might bore you. Any moments that could have tension are filled with nervous smiles. Yes, he’s taking this seriously, he swears, he just can’t help it. The first time you hear him laugh out of amusement rather than nerves, it shocks him as much as it does you. You told a really bad pun, and he just broke down in laughter without even understanding why it was so funny. You laugh with him, of course. There’s this look in his eyes as his laughter dies down that tells you he’s overthinking his own response, so of course, you make an even worse play on words just to make him laugh again. It’s like a weight lifting on his chest whenever he gets a good belly laugh; almost like he can forget the ever-present weight of the orb there. From then on, you’ll whisper little dad jokes and puns into his ear on your travels, and it cracks him up every time.

Astarion, when he has his seductive mask up, has that flirty little chuckle that he’s crafted over the years. Every laugh is carefully placed to lure you in. Low, sultry- all part of the act. When he’s genuinely laughing with glee, it gets more high pitched and almost childlike with joy. During act two, before he drops his mask around you entirely, you’ll get little glimpses of that true laughter as the mask slowly starts to crack. Pure, unfiltered wonder when you let the pixie out of the lantern. Snickers from across camp when he’s eavesdropping on conversations, thinking nobody will notice. This man laughs like a child when he gets to express joy without fearing he’ll be punished for doing it. He’ll snicker slightly in your ear after delivering an overly corny, flirty line. Giggle mischievously under his breath after committing petty crimes, smirking at you afterwards.

Lae’zel doesn’t laugh much. At all. Ask her about it, and she’ll say it’s a waste of breath that could be better used when plunging her sword into her enemies. If she finds something amusing, the most you’ll typically get is an amused huff of an exhale and a lingering ghost of a smile. She rolls her eyes at your attempts to get her to laugh with puns, and wordplay goes right over her head; she’ll just correct you on the correct use of the word. Part of you is worried that her lack of amusement with you means she doesn’t like you much, but eventually you come to realize that those huffs of amusement she does is practically her equivalent of a full-on laugh. Even if she shows it differently. Once, though, just once, when you two were alone, you told a particularly riveting joke about a dragon, and you actually got an actual laugh out of her. She denies it to this day. She was right; nobody believes you.

Karlach will laugh unashamedly loud at everything. Big, bubbly laughs that are contagious as hell. Her tail will wag if she’s laughing out of joy, and oftentimes laughter is paired with a clap of her hand on your shoulder. Before she got her engine fixed, she once laughed so hard in camp that she almost set her tent on fire. And by ‘almost,’ I mean she did, and Shadowheart quickly had to do damage control with create/destroy water. If she gets giddy, it’ll be more of a giggly sound. “Ohmygodohmygodohmy GOD soldier! Pfft- look at that guy! Hah!” Her words will come out in such a rush, but she will try to talk as she laughs. Sometimes she’s shake you by the shoulders, or anyone else nearby. She finds even small things amusing after her time in Avernus, and sometimes will just get giggling fits without being able to explain it.

Shadowheart doesn’t laugh much at first. You’ll get little judgmental huffs of amused indignation, but that’s about it. When she does start coming into herself and feeling more open, she tends to snort when she laughs, and absolutely despises it at first, mostly because Lae’zel keeps pointing it out. She’s absolutely the type to somehow drink water right before someone says something funny, and laugh so hard it comes out of her nose or she spits it out. Its happened so many times that she’ll look accusingly at the person who made her laugh afterwards like it was intentional. But no, her timing is just that bad. She’ll giggle when sassing someone, and whisper little snarky comments into your ear to share her humor, both of you snickering at unsuspecting victims.

May I please see some imagines of Pain and Panic with a lonely, touch-starved Fem!Reader? I haven't seen ANY imagines anywhere featuring either of them as a main romantic interest and I'd love to see what you can do with them!

Oh absolutely >:)) I love those little dorks

I wasn't quite sure if you meant imagines of them together or separate sets of headcannons, so I went with separate for now! If you wanna see 'em sharing the love let me know and I'll certainly write some more

Pain and Panic with a touch-starved S/O~!

Pain~!

It's not that Pain has an AVERSION to touch, but he certainly isn't used to the soft kind -- the tender, loving kind that most people tend to enjoy

Not very surprising, given his boss and his tendency to get himself into trouble- so upon meeting you, I doubt the idea of physical affection would even cross his mind

He can tell that you're lonely, sure -- in his mind you wouldn't be hanging around him if you weren't -- but the notion of you being touch-starved would fly over his head at first

He'd only really connect the dots, the cogs visibly turning in his head, after a good few occurrences, watching you react strangely to even the smallest of gestures

He's the type to give friendly pats on the back, or light nudges with his elbow whilst making an awful, corny little quip. When he sees you flinch or stare or blush, he'd be very confused

And then very understanding.

"... So, uhh... did your mom hug you enough as a kid??"

He doesn't mean it to be rude, honest! If anything, he feels a little bad -- he holds his arms out, in a 'bring it in' type motion, and wraps you up in a little squeeze

From then on, he makes more of an effort to wrap his little arm around your shoulder, pulling you close, or leaning his head up against your side. More hugs, more soothing touches

He's a little softie really <3

Panic~!

You cannot TELL me this man is not severely touch starved himself

He's so nervous, so easily frightened -- absolutely the type to cling to the nearest person when something's spooked him

Squeaking and crawling himself into your arms, clinging tight, hiding his face in the nape of your neck

You have no choice but to hold him! Regardless of how anxious it makes you

He holds the embrace for a little longer than necessary, before blushing, and stammering out a mumbled string of apologies, forcing himself to pry away from you

You'd have to let HIM know you enjoyed it -- he's not nearly bold enough to make a guess like that on his own

He might not even believe it at first, giggling wildly and giving you a friendly nudge, praising you for a joke you didn't make

Once he gets it through his head, though, he is CLINGY

He's a massive fan of holding hands, intertwining his pointy little fingers in yours whenever he gets the opportunity, squeezing your hand and holding it close to him

Every time he does he's shaky and giddy, but god it makes him so happy

He'd also love snuggling himself up under your arm for cuddles

A precious boy <3

#SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO INSANELY LONG TO GET TO #I'll be honest #I forgot abt it-#BUT I DID IT!!#I hope you enjoy anon!#disney hercules #pain and panic #fenris asks #self ship #headcannons #x reader

Getting Lost In A Haunted Mirror Maze With Your Favorite Metallica Member(s)

James Hetfield

He is not a fan of this. Every turn is a trap. Don't laugh when he bumps his head.

"WHY IS EVERY TURN A FUCKING MIRROR?!!"

So many hand prints. Seriously, he feels to make sure if it's s mirror or not. SO. MANY. HAND. PRINTS.

Questions why he agreed to this, but then sees how much fun you're having. He's not so edgy anymore

Tries not to laugh when a kid runs face first into a mirror and wipes out completely. "Don't laugh.....don't laugh...."

Almost punches out the hidden clown for its jump scare. ALMOST.

"Okay.....who turned out the lights? So not cool...." is aimlessly grabbing for anything or anyone in arms length reach

Probably trips on a kid by accident. Instantly feels bad about it.

Gets lost for 15 minutes because everything looks the same in this maze.

"Next time we're bringing glow sticks so we don't get lost....."

Kirk Hammett

He's totally game for this. It sounds like a lot of fun and his inner child is leaping with joy. You had him at "Haunted"

Is the first one between the two of you to walk straight into a mirror. It's not even a gentle bump. He's fully committed and lands on his ass.

He's absolutely dressing up for this. He's such a loveable dork for horror

He's going to make a lot of corny jokes some way or another. That's his signature thing to do. Please laugh....

If he's in his Dracula makeup you best bet that there's going to be some of it smudged on mirrors. It bound to happen

Has to cover his mouth to keep from laughing at kids smacking into mirrors. He's almost crying from trying to not laugh

He is not splitting up to find a way out. Not just to get lost again

This now has to be a routine thing. Do it every Halloween. You have created a monster

Probably get spooked by his own reflection. What a dorky baby he is. He gets too invested

Is probably the one to get chased by the guy with a chainsaw. He's not amused by this

Cliff Burton

Bumps his head on the low doorframes. He's already 6'2" and those cowboy boots give him an extra 2 inches

He's gonna hold your hand while walking so you don't get separated. He's also the one to run smack into the mirrors first

He feels bad for the kids that wipe out into the mirrors. He helps them up and makes sure that they're okay.

Accidentally smacks a scare actor. He has good reflexes. They shouldn't be trying him like this. Feels guilty later

Absolutely gets lost for 45 minutes and winds up getting lead out by the security staff. "I wasn't THAT lost....."

"We've walked past this mirror 3 times already...." ...."all of the mirrors are the same Cliff..." "no they're not.....I left a hand print on that one" You big dork.....

Definitely trips on a small child. Feels absolutely horrible about it. Tries helping out the kid and gets more lost.

Tries exiting through the ENTER door. Hey, at least got out. It's not ideal but he got out.

Even though he got lost way too many times, he'll definitely do this again

Let's admit it, he's cracking up when you both run into mirrors. He feels bad for laughing, but he's gonna laugh

Lars Ulrich

He's walking talking, chaos....what could possibly go wrong.....

If any kid wipes out around him, hrs going to laugh. Don't scold him, it's on going to make him laugh more

He doesn't do jump scares. He is not responsible for anyone getting punched or kicked

Finds the common wipe out spot. Don't mind him, he likes the chaos unfolding.

Is overconfident he sees the exit and hurries towards it. It's NOT the exit. Don't mind him running smack into the mirror, he'll be fine.

Tries to not laugh when you run into a mirror and fall on your ass. He's almost crying from trying to not laugh.

You can hear him yelling "MARCO!!!!" Everyone in the maze yells back "POLO!!!!" He is lost

Finds the emergency exit by accident. Runs to find you. "I found the exit!" Gets you both lost trying to find this exit

Finds the emergency exit again. Gets you both kicked out because he's loud and gets you both caught by security

"Well maybe next time we can do an escape room" He feels bad for getting you both kicked out

Jason Newsted

"How haunted is haunted?" Remembers the abandoned haunted house

He's gonna stick by your side. It's date night. If you get lost in the maze, at least it'll be together

Is not a fan of the 'lights off' feature. Should've brought glow sticks.

You can hear him grumbling from bumping into a mirror. The look on his face is absolutely priceless. He'll laugh about it later. He really bumped his head

"FUCKING SHIT!!!!" Don't mind him....he wasn't expecting the jump scares. Nervous laughter. Gotta keep the tough guy persona up

He genuinely loves it once you find a way out and wants to do it again.

Walks fully committed into the false exit. "God damn mirrors...." Don't mind his grumbling. He's really enjoying himself

Tries his best to remember which halls he's turned down on. Gets you both lost and confused because everything looks the same

Covers his mouth to keep from laughing at the little kids hitting mirrors so hard they fall on their ass.

He's going to have too much with this and it is now a tradition to do every year.

Robert Trujillo

He's a big kid, so he's 100% down for this. Don't be shocked if asks if you're down to do it again once you're both out

At first he's not okay with all the lights off, but it grows on him. The running lights on the floor really sets the spooky mood

Will hold your hand the entire time. You're in this together, wipe outs and all.

Definitely yells "POLO!!!" if he hears Lars yelling "MARCO!!!"

He's like a happy puppy at this point. He's enjoying this way too much. Just when he thinks he has it all figured out in telling the difference between mirror and actual hallway, he runs into a mirror.

"If this is supposed to be a haunted maze, I haven't seen anything that's supposed to be scary." Gets the shit scared out of him by that damn jump scare clown

"Don't run that way little dude!" Trying to help kids NOT wipe out. Grimaces when a kid wipes out into a mirror. Laughs when they get up completely stunned and confused

He's definitely buying a giant pack of glow sticks and is grinning at you like an idiot. "It's so we can see each other if we get separated!"

Is that one poor soul to find the trap door and gets lost in the maze. Has no idea how he found it, but he is LOST lost

"You know, we should totally do a haunted corn maze next." He hit too many mirrors so his pride took a but if a blow but he won't admit it.

The Little Reasons That Made Me Love Xenoblade Chronicles 1

I’m playing the definitive edition for the very first time on the switch. Today I reached 100 hours and the final chapter. This game has taken a hold of my life, and I just wanted to gush about all the little things that made me go from liking the game to falling in love with it.

-Shulk being a socially awkward dork -Fiora’s absolutely adorable, infectious laughter -Melia’s beautiful poetic declarations when she summons elementals -Reyn and his corny puns -everyone roasting Reyn in post-battle dialogue -Dunban being a good mentor and coaching Shulk and Reyn -Riki. Just Riki. I love everything about that little furry volleyball -Shulk’s weirdly aggressive “HIYAH!” during Light Heal -everyone indulging Riki’s bloated Mighty Heropon ego -Melia trying her best to loosen up and not be so formal with her friends -Riki calling everyone else his sidekicks -Reyn sniffing his pits during idle animation -Melia falling on her ass while practicing her Starlight Kick during idle animation -by concept and in theory, anyway, Sharla being a healing sniper is unconventional and very cool -Dunban getting naked to unleash his full potential as an agility tank -everyone checking on each other and complimenting each other after a fight. love the camaraderie and positive affirmation all around -“born in a world of STRIFE (B), against the ODDS (B), we choose to FIGHT (B)! Blossom Dance!” -“You Caaan DoIt!” -“Riki sneaky!” -“Riki likes fighting easy monsters” -“Diiive SABAT!” -“STREEEAM Edge!”(for the longest time I heard it as Scream Edge) -“Let’s press ON and ON and ON!”

Seven-related stuff below the cut:

-the sword drones. a joy to watch every time, so satisfying to watch those 10 hits land -the Double Wind animation. especially cool to see it freeze after execution during chain attack. I also like to time it with the beat in Mechanical Rhythm -the needlessly excessive but undoubtedly badass way she twirls her blades -having a whole skill tree dedicated to Shulk. sweet and kinda funny. -unleashing hell with “Final CROOOOSS”

Abbott Elementary episode 2.16 "Teacher Conference"

Quinta has said she’s not trying to reinvent the wheel with this show, Janine and Gregory in particular, and I think she’s proving that she doesn’t need to. Abbott is cozy and cute and laugh out loud funny, all precisely due to the sense of familiarity that it evokes. I can go into every episode knowing that everyone will be kind to each other, live happily ever after, and maybe even score some new glue sticks.

I’ll come back around to everyone else, but let’s get right to it: the kiss! Gregory is my favorite character, but to be honest I don’t think I would actually enjoy being friends with either him or Janine. But Abbott walks the fine line of character personalities that I wouldn’t want to encounter in real life, but that I love to see on my TV. They’re great characters for a will-they/won’t-they because they’re both so intensely innocent that the smallest hints of sexuality have me like “woo! Get it!”. The two of them grinding in the club was one of those moments, and so was Janine grabbing Gregory by the lanyard (lol) for another kiss.

It was inevitable that they would chalk that up to a mistake and try to get back to business, but I almost wish they wouldn’t. Janine is still dating Maurice and of course she wouldn’t cheat on him, but at this point I feel ready to see them together. Which is why I was kind of surprised to see that the question everyone seems to be asking this week is if Abbott jumped the shark with the kiss, if it happened too soon.

I say no, but maybe the skepticism of others means they’re right to at least not have Janine and Gregory leaping into a whole relationship right now (though who knows what next week holds). Regardless, I think it brings up an interesting conversation about audience involvement with story.

I read a lot about story structure, and as a writer I’m extremely wary of books that are so specific with their breakdown of story structure that they can tell you the exact page every piece of action needs to occur on. I think structure is really important- it can almost always explain why something worked or didn’t work- but I see it like musical notes. There are a finite number of notes, and rules to be followed when writing and playing music, but is there a way to put them together that hasn’t been done yet? There better be, or a lot of people are out of a job.

Part of new and innovative storytelling is, of course, the creativity of the storyteller, but it’s also an awareness of the audience’s own grasp of story. Fight Club, in its time, was doing something brand new. Watching it now, though, I find it to be a kind of exhausting three hours. We just don’t need to go that slow anymore; we’re an audience who’s already been taught all the clues to look for, and we can keep up just fine.

I’ve written before about Frasier- Niles and Daphne’s will-they/won’t-they went on for about eight years. Abbott isn’t reinventing the wheel, and, as viewers, this isn’t our first rodeo with a sitcom romance. I would be tearing my hair out if I was going to have to wait another six years for this kiss, the one everyone knew was coming by episode 3, if not the pilot. This is one of those times where we can slide our hand across the piano keys and get there a little quicker.

But Abbott Elementary is more than just Janine and Gregory! And I would like to talk about Jacob, who I actually find myself thinking about a lot when this show comes up. I’m not gonna say he’s not corny, but he is definitely a really great friend to Janine. They’re platonically perfect for each other, and the two of them jumping up and down about this conference, while I’m sure it would annoy me to witness for real, made me smile.

He's a dork, but I was happy to see him making some other friends outside of the Abbott crew, and to see him appreciated for who he is. I actually thought this storyline was going to take it a step further: he and the teacher from Addington hit it off so well that I thought she was going to mistake their chemistry for flirting and try to kiss him.

Maybe they didn’t want to step on the toes of The Kiss of this episode, but thinking that was going to happen made me realize that I actually would like to see that happen. I love every glimpse we get into the pureness of Jacob’s heart (the way he stood up for Janine when she was out sick was sooo sweet), and I bet him letting this girl down easy would have been a really cute moment. It’s also not too often that we get to see Jacob in his element where he’s actually popular among the people around him.

I hope this isn’t the last we see of that dynamic. Addington is just a couple blocks away, after all, maybe there’s an arc to be seen where the Addington teachers try to poach Jacob. Now that I’m thinking about it, there would be a lot there with Melissa’s sister and Barbara’s surely hurt feelings of not being the desired teacher. I can already feel my heart growing like the Grinch at everyone wanting to prove to Jacob that he’s valued at Abbott.

Well if that happens, you heard it here first folks! And what do you think, was the kiss too soon? Do you still think Fight Club is the right length? Let me know!

Idk if you wanted people to ask these to you or not but 7 for all your wols if you're interested?

favorite animal? why?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think Ryder says shes doesnt have a favorite animal and needs to be pressed on it, but if you bother her enough she'll say it's the Tailless Whip Scorpion, because ''those fuckers are hilarious'' and she loves the way theyre entirely harmless and just GRAB at you like dorks. I think she;d often gravitate towards ''scary sounding/looking animals/insects who are literally just doing whatever'' like the Camel Spider (chases you like nuts but its bite literally doesnt do anything besides pinch) and the Tailles Whip Scorpion

youtube

for Ruyan she might also have a hard time narrowing it down, often because she doesn't really have the concept of a ''favorite'' thing like color or animal or food, there's many things she likes and she feels bad picking a single one, but i think when he grows older he does gain a fondness for sea otters :] Ruyan HATES, HATES, HATES most lovey nicknames because they make her feel wrong, so chefant started calling her his ''signifigant otter'' after seeing a particularly corny greeting card when he got to visit Limsa Lominsa as a joke, but it went from a silly inside joke between them to a nickname Ruyan genuinely really loved and it like, influenced her love for otters because seeing them hold hands or float in the water with their babies just reminds ruyan of her husband, so now if you ask ruyan her favorite animal she'd say sea otter because they remind her of her signifigant otter :]

Tock LOVES SO MANY ANIMALS but her TOP THREE FAVORITE EVER ARE

SPIDER CRAB!!! she wants to meet one so bad she thinks theyre the cuuuutest things ever. and wants them to wear multiple shoes and sunglasses. she wants to live underwater like a mermaid and marry a spider crab prince and live in a big underwater castle with her spider crab nation

EMPORER PENGUINS!!! they remind her of urianger :] and she wants to hug one so bad

TARANTULA-HAWK WASP... she thinks these guys are like fairies and she thinks theyre soooo cool. she keeps her distance but she's rooting for them when theyre fighting tarantulas and loves watching them fly around

ALTHAEA picks no favorites. all bugs and insects are her favorite animal period. but just between you and her, she has a special fondness for T. Bisselliella

as the wikipedia article for Forensic Entomology puts it:

Moths (order Lepidoptera) specifically clothes-moths – Family Tineidae – are closely related to butterflies. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are crepuscular and diurnal species. During their larval stages, clothes moths tend to feed on mammalian hair.[32] They are amongst the final animals contributing to the decomposition of a corpse. This said, adult moths lay their legs on a carcass subsequently to fly larvae having had their presence on it

she also has a particular fondness for maggots in general, specifically the ones commonly used for maggot therapy (DO NOT click if you are sensitive to up front pictures of necrotic / open wounds, or bugs infesting open wounds) -- this means she has a specific love for Blowflies, as she performs maggot therapy and also watches insects like the blowflies and moths consume open flesh routinely. On one notable instance, Hades has even let her use her (named and disinfected) maggots to cleanse an open wound on his leg instead of using aether to heal it, and she has documented her findings on using insects to clean out necrotic tissue. So while she'd never claim that blowflies or cloth moths are her favorite, she does spend the most time caring for these ones :]

Fucking perfection.

It was fucking perfection.

I was confident that this chapter was going to be good, but I didn’t expect it to be even better than the first one. Somehow you always manage to top your own work, and when you do it is pure magic. I couldn’t love you more for writing those captivating dialogues, the playful banter you created between them was such an inspiration for me, you have no idea how quickly the cogs in my head started working. That desperate necessity of contact was honestly the cherry on top of the cake, you got my touch starved ass so jealous! But really every interaction was laced with an absurd level of intimacy, it came naturally for them seeking a warm and loving embrace, you conveyed such a soft domesticity that made my heart melt in a gooey puddle. While cuddling they treated each other with a tenderness that only you could write this good. There was every single corny cliché ever invented, it was like being catapulted in a way better version of an Hallmark movie, instead of being bored to dead I was enjoying myself and you know what, unexpectedly, they worked flawlessly together. I’m such a sucker for this kind of things, even the sappiest ones (don’t tell anyone though, it’s kind of a secret) I just love reading things that make my heart go all mushy! I wasn’t even aware that you copied a real conversation between Emma and Andrew, it was so you that I didn’t even question it. But let me tell you two things, first of all you have and exquisite taste ;) and for second I don’t care, I honestly don’t care if it’s not all your own work, I LOVED that she was speaking straight up gobbledygook with him, it actually made perfect sense for her character and consequentially gave us an adorable interaction. Awkwardness and flirtation in this story go hand in hand, there’s a balance between it that works perfectly with those two dorks. Their personalities are a reflection of each other, they’re both really outgoing and extroverted but her impulsivity is way more unhinged than Joe’s. He was most definitely waiting for someone like her, someone capable to swoop him of his feet at any given chance. (And the use of those damned birds, I love you so fucking much)

This scene alone deserve an honourable mention:

“I know,”

“This is gorgeous,”

“It is,”

You heard Joe inhale sharply.

“It really is,” he then said more softly, and you let your eyes focus on Joe's reflection next to you and saw he was staring at you. It made you bump your shoulder into him, making him chuckle slightly.

It made my cheeks hurt from smiling. And the “somewhere that way” awwwhhhhhh I literally can’t, overload of sappiness reached!!That finale was really something else, you have an extraordinary comedic time, I just couldn’t stop giggling!!

Luv ya xx <3333

#<33333 #im so happy that you LIKE it each time #idk #warms me #all goes south

i'm probably gonna delete this in a bit because i hate, hate, HATE drama but first i want to make something very clear.

of course i don't like it when people send him rude comments on his own lives and for the stupidest things. i will never understand why some people feel the need to be so rude and disrespectful and send hate to one of the most patient, kind and gentle people i've ever known. it's fucked up and he's always been way too nice about it.

but -and i cannot stress this enough, this is in no way shape or form an insult on my part- his verse made me laugh and it was admittedly a little bit cringe and corny AND HE KNOWS THIS. HE DID IT ON PURPOSE because he's a bit of a dork and he found it funny and i love him immensely for it, it's part of his charm.

i giffed that bit because i was laughing WITH him, not AT him, about how his verse came to be. and because i really respect and admire the way he deals with shitty people that are gonna hate him no matter what he does.

he shouldn't feel guilty for writing a cheesy thing that was intended to be cheesy for fuck's sake just like he shouldn't have to answer all those comments and i wish all the people who wrote them a very trip and fall down a flight of stairs landing preferably on your nose.

and as much as i'd have preferred it if he just ignored that comment and moved on he *chose* to adress it and explain why he wrote what he wrote and i confide a 25yo man has enough autonomy to decide for himself if he wants to explain the creative process behind his lyrics and in the same breath send a hearty fuck you to his haters or not, but knowing that verse was the result of him basically saying who cares let's embrace the cringe and have fun made me appreciate it -and him- even more.

#now if you want to read some non-existent malicious intent behind my set that's on you #is it wrong up that he said he knew he was gonna get hate for it even before getting on stage? yes #did this stop him? thank god no and i hope he never changes. but some of you people should learn to shut the fuck up anyways

Just saw that you said you kinda want ideas for oneshots and headcannons,, that is a MISTAKE cause now I’m gonna spam your ask with them sorry I don’t make the rules but those two dorks (menthol aki and reader) are plaguing my mind so I have a lot of ideas aknxkskskskskxja

-Reader begging aki to let her do his makeup and he caves cause of course he does and she makes him look even more pretty

-aki taking reader to a club because she begged and the whole time she’s dancing on him he’s just like :| staring daggers into all the men who are looking at reader, bonus part is when they get home reader is fucking TRASHED and aki carries her to the bathroom and sets her on the counter to wipe off her makeup and brush her teeth for her meanwhile the whole time reader is saying stupid corny shit and akis like pretending to be annoyed but his heart is actually aching because she’s so cute

-reader makes one of those TikTok’s with the sound “using my scary dog privilege” and flips the camera and akis walking in front of her KSJXKAJHXIAH

-reader gets stranded on the side of the road cause of her car breaking down and akis in the middle of /something/ but drops EVERYTHING the second she calls and everyone is like bro you can’t just leave and he’s like uh yes I can and he bolts to her with his car and feels so bad cause something could’ve happened to her out there and it’s so hot and his poor princess was just waiting for him and he tries to fix it but she just wants to go home with him so he caves and leaves the car there and takes her back to his house and he just like,, doesn’t go back to what he was doing and instead dotes on her and feels bad cause it was the car he gave her and she could’ve gotten in a wreck or something (meanwhile readers like dude stop being so dramatic I just forgot to put gas in it and akis like ill literally kill you you’re so dumb but I love you)

-rem (I could literally keep going just let me know)

I submitted this on cyancherub too but I’m just shouting this into the void dont mind me I just need to talk to anyone and everyone about this fic and Headcannons I have for it

REM, U REALLY CAME THROUGH WITH THIS! cassie showed me ur original message and something immediately stood out to me... lemme just reply under the cut <3

THE CLUB PART!!! WE HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR ALREADY IN MIND FOR THE PREQUEL!!! it's not a club but it's a party setting and aki taking care of reader after they get shloppy drunk would be so sweet... that's always one of my favorite tropes. maybe if reader asked aki to stay with them... omg. JUST KNOW THAT THIS IS COMING!

also the stranded one is so believable given reader's bf in the prequel is such a shithead and he wouldn't know the first thing about cars... meanwhile aki has been fixing them up since he was a child and he'll always come to the rescue... just like how he always "comes" to your–

#NEVERMIND ME TAKING AN ETERNITY TO ANSWER THIS #WE LOVED THE HCS PLEASE SEND MORE #about: menthol #mercury speaks

1, 4, 8, 20, & 22 ~ rebeccaselfships

howdy you two! :) i put these two asks in the same post since we've got some repeats, i hope y'all don't mind! thank you both for sending in an ask, i appreciate it a ton!! 🥺💖

1: How was your first date like? Where did you guys go? Were either of you nervous or were you able to keep your cool?

much to our luck, formal dates have never been our thing, hahah. the first 'date' we had is kinda hard to pinpoint, but the night i confessed to him might count as such - we spent most of our time dancing around in the moonlight like a pair of lovestruck dorks and we stargazed and i showed him my favourite constellations ❤ since it wasn't exactly preplanned, it wasn't something we were super nervous about. we might've been a bit awkward, but not in the bad way! just in the "this is my most true authentic self" way where you're kinda messy and all over the place sometimes but that's okay. :)

4: What is your love language? What is theirs?

we match, heh! both of our love languages are quality time! but he also borders between that and acts of service!

8: What kinds of gifts do you guys like to give each other?

oh, ray is SUCH a sweetheart. he gets me fancy heart shaped chocolates, bouquets, hell, he might even take the time to write a love letter to me (no matter how messy his handwriting is). he's so cheesy and i love him SO much for it. i, on the other hand, am a bit more... uhh... hmmm. i'm the type of guy that walks up to him and goes "check out this cool rock i found! it reminded me of you" HAHAH but he loves it all the same. he has a lot of silly little trinkets and knick knacks that he's gotten from me :)

20: How do you guys fluster each other? Are either of you prone to blushing?

HE CAN LITERALLY JUST STAND AROUND AND DO NOTHING AND HE'LL STILL HAVE ME A TOMATO-FACED MESS! 😅 i get flustered over him SO easily. even just the SLIGHTEST interaction gets me red in the face and all giddy kicking my legs back and forth LOL.

he might seem like the type of guy who doesn't get flustered easily, but THINK AGAIN because unexpected affectionate gestures WILL leave him stammering and blushing! he doesn't realize how starved of affection he is until he receives it and he just completely MELTS.

22: How was your first kiss with your f/o like? What kinds of kisses do you like to give them (cheek, lips, hand, etc.)? Vice versa?

i've gone into our first kiss a bit on my blog previously! i've been writing a little oneshot centered around it as well that i will finish... hopefully... soon. if the writing gods will let me. EITHER WAY, it's idyllic and magical but also pretty nervewrecking! us both being so comfortable with eachother already though helps a lot with the atmosphere and we're quick to calm eachother down haha. :) but it's wonderful! feels like it's straight out of a fairytale! ...or a corny romcom movie!

as for what kinds of kisses we both like to give eachother, NOSE KISSES, NOSE KISSES ALL THE WAY. those DEFINITELY rank highest! but he also likes to be sappy and sometimes he'll take my hand and kiss it heheh as if he was a noble knight greeting his prince HAHAH. he's adorable 😭❤❤❤ what a gentleman

#ask games #rebeccaselfships #chriswritess #sorry these replies got long i'm gay #💜☀️ray of sunshine☀️💜

PINKY STAR (RUN) :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆

SYNOPSIS: isagi as your boyfriend

CHARACTERS INCLUDED: isagi yoichi my boyfriend of many several years

WARNINGS: swearing? i think idk i forget also yah pretend they all go to the same school and stuff. also horribly self indulgent if u couldn't already tell

A/N: if you remember my old one delete it from your memory it was literally so bad help anyways the re-up because my boyfriend deserves better. also i really like this one and i feel like it’s more in character for him :P lol i've had this in my drafts for like, ever <3 but also my last post for a while because i have ap exams and my sat soon :P

FOR: the anon that asked me where my original isagi bf hcs went :’)

after the initial awkwardness of being in a new relationship fades and you two become comfortable with each other, a relationship with isagi would be like dating your slightly awkward best friend who you make out with sometimes.

like, i don’t really see isagi being high maintenance, so i feel like a relationship with him would definitely be on the relaxed side, but still romantic, you know?

isagi’s inner monologue is so funny and he definitely lets his thoughts out to you. it makes you laugh to see your usually friendly-to-all boyfriend have his moments, too.

you guys are one of those couples that give each other a look when someone’s doing something weird in public #telepathicconnection <3

but, isagi’s really such a sweetie with you. i know user isagisyoichi may be slightly biased when they say this, but believe me when i say that isagi’s 100% boyfriend material.

walks you to class whenever he can. always either holding your hand as he listens attentively to you complaining about school.

writes down things he feels are important about you in a digital note entitled “y/n 💗,” so he can remember them in the future.

isagi's used to talking to all kinds of people, so even if you're not the most talkative, he can adjust with no problem.

and he’ll always entertain you about whatever stupid conversation you wanna have.

kinda basic with pet names. babe, baby, dork (he would, i don’t wanna hear it), are his usual rotation.

randomly compliments you/says these really romantic things out of nowhere because he can’t control himself and often blurts things out.

“yeah, of course, when we get married, i’ll-”

“when we get married?” you inquire as you cut isagi off. you two have never discussed marriage, just but the thought of isagi wanting to spend the rest of his life with you is enough to make your head spin.

isagi’s eyes go wide when he realizes what he’s said. damn his mouth that moves faster than his mind.

swallowing hard and taking a breath, isagi says, “y-yeah, when we get married,” further affirming his statement with a nod, albeit a bit of a nervous one.

now both of you guys are flustered LOL.

likes to sit his head in your lap and have you play with his hair, while you two talk or just sit in silence.

such a good listener, perfect person to rant about anything with. he’s very understanding, he’ll hold you if you need him to, wipe your tears if you’re crying, give you advice if you need it, just overall so sweet.

also always knows when you're sad because of his intuition. isagi encourages you to open up to him, but ultimately doesn’t force you, just lets you know that he’s always there for you <3

(that's kind of lie because isagi does pry a little LOL, but he means well)

takes care of you! nags you a little, tries his best to make sure you're not doing anything stupid, and if you are, that someone responsible (him) is watching you, looks after you when you’re sick, etc.

gives you his jacket when you’re cold (he’s been waiting to do that his whole life bro LMAOO), carries your things, always texts you good morning and good night, just overall sooo good to you.

but as soft as he is for you, isagi does have this tendency to get these random spouts of confidence, so sometimes he’ll say or do something really bold out of nowhere.

like, he’ll suddenly grab your waist and pull you closer to him, or he’ll kiss you out of the blue. the flustered expression that rests on your face for a change always makes him smirk *heart eyes*

in general, though, isagi's still kind of awkward sometimes regardless and does say or do things that make you go "???" and make him be like "why did i do that" LOL he's so cute though <333

he’s pretty basic with dates, usually opts for things like restaurants, walks in the parks, movie nights, or stuff like that, but they’re still really fun!

but, if you ever want to do something out of the norm, he wouldn't be opposed to it, either. but, you do have to tell him ‘cause he's not a mind reader lol.

(okay but, one time, isagi tried to watch a scary movie with you because he wanted to do that thing where he wraps his arm around you during the scary parts, but HE ended up being scared instead 😭)

isagi’s the type to put your name with a heart emoji or the date you guys started dating in his instagram bio LOL

y/n 💓 IHS Forward #10 ⚽️ *insert some soccer quote about grinding*

it’s a bit middle school, but you let it slide because you know he just wants to show you off <3

study sessions are normal between you two but, you guys always get bored or distracted halfway through and start watching youtube or something LOL.

it’s canon he’s a thigh man lol, so if he ever sees you wearing an oversized shirt, especially one of his, with shorts, isagi will literally short circuit in real life.

he keeps his hand on your thigh when you guys cuddle that day, tracing patterns on your skin, or just squeezing it every now and then.

in general, though, isagi likes poking at and playing with them whenever they're out <3

once, isagi wanted you to do that trend on tiktok where he sits between your thighs and stuff, but he had no idea how to bring it up LOL

so, isagi just watched tiktoks of it in front of you and hoped eventually you would get the hint 🙄

and you did, thanks to his incredible lack of subtly. he doesn’t even care when you giggle and tell him how bad he is at being slick, isagi got your thighs around him, he won!!!!!!

takes a picture (or two or three) to savor the moment.

(even though he could literally just ask you to do it again in the future, but whatever, i guess)

when you’re dating isagi, the team comes with him too LOL

they’re always snapchatting you pictures of isagi when they’re hanging out without you, with stupid captions like, “look how sad your boyfriend is without you 😞”

isagi’s not even sad in the picture, he’s just confused as to why they’re shoving a camera in his face 😭

isagi one hundred percent attempts to get you to run the mile with him during gym if you don’t already.

“babe, just try!” isagi pants, as he catches up to you and your friends, as you guys are still on your second lap.

admittedly, the effort is cute, but beloved, i hate to break it to you- i will not be doing anything of the sort.

he will sit down or walk around with you after you finish the mile, though. if he’s not already playing soccer lollll.

when he does choose to go with you, expect exclamations from the team about how isagi “abandoned us for his little relationship” 👎

isagi’s receiving love language is words of affirmation (also basically canon LOL) so, he really values the compliments you give him with his whole heart.

you could tell him how his hair looks nice in the morning, and isagi will think about it all day.

whether it be about how cute he is, or how talented of a player he is, isagi really is happiest when you praise him <3

speaking of soccer, isagi has this tendency to get lost in the moment and talk your head off about some soccer related tangent that probably makes no sense to you.

his eyes light up and his voice is just oozing with passion for what he does as he goes into detail about how he made this crazy goal at practice while you stare at him with the biggest heart eyes ever, adoring his dedication.

and of course when isagi realizes he was rambling, he apologizes profusely for “boring” you, like the gentleman he is.

but when you reassure him that he could never bore you and that you want nothing more than for him to go on, isagi begins to feels lightheaded due to his adoration for you <3

if you're the type to go all out when it supporting isagi at soccer- like make one of those corny signs, yell from the crowd, wear his spare jersey to games, isagi will physically have to withhold his heart from jumping out his chest.

he's a little embarrassed that you're doing all that for him, but the effort means soooo much to him.

and speaking of soccer, it would mean a lot to isagi if you not only supported him at games and stuff, but expressed an interest in learning more about soccer as a whole, too.

you know, learn a little more about the game on your own accord, ask him to teach you how to properly play, or even challenge him to a one on one, do stuff like that, and he’ll literally be head over heels for you. well, more than he already is.

(he always goes easy on you on your guys 1v1's and he thinks your efforts are adorable, no matter how much you may or may not suck)

he'd repay the effort and try to get interested in whatever your hobbies are!

also, you can get him to do almost anything if you pout and beg hard enough, you’re literally so hard to say no to in isagi’s eyes <3

isagi’s the type to not realize when other people are flirting with him LOL

he just thinks they’re being nice (unless they’re being straight up) and i don’t think he would really process it because he’s so focused on you romantically, if that makes sense.

once he realizes you’re jealous, isagi apologizes earnestly, reassuring you over and over again that you're everything he could ask for and that he would never intentionally try to hurt you and all that jazz.

although, i will admit, sometimes isagi’s kinda smug when you're jealous, especially when it’s over a dumb reason 👎

however, when he’s jealous i feel like it could go one of two ways-

on normal days, isagi would just stand there to “intimidate” the other person, maybe cough a little for emphasis until they go away lol.

but on days where he’s already mad/filled with adrenaline/or someone’s really not taking a hint and you’re visibly uncomfortable- oh boy, it’s like a switch flips in him.

has those same fiery eyes he has during the climax of a game. the energy he’s exuding is dead serious, and that alone is enough for the person bothering you to go away. not bad for a man that’s only 5’8 🥰

adding on, isagi doesn’t take any shit about you, ever. even if it’s from his friends. usually isagi’s very neutral and doesn’t actively try to start conflict, but there are some things he’ll always defend and you’re one of them.

isagi always listens/watches/reads/etc whatever you recommend him (on that note, please recommend him good anime because isagi’s out here willingly telling people his favorite anime is darling in the franxx), even if he doesn’t necessarily like it LOL

you could show isagi objectively, the worst song ever and he would be like “yeah, it was good babe!” (it was not)

also does the same thing when you bring him shopping with you, like he's absolutely NO HELP 😭

you could try on the ugliest sweater known to man and he’d like “you look nice 🙂” pls be honest isagi, you can say it’s hideous!!!!!!

but isagi’s also being somewhat truthful in his statement because he does genuinely think you look nice in everything <3

also loves when you wear his clothes- always feels a mixture between pride and slight shyness?

kinda lol idk but overall, isagi really is sooo happy you wanna show him off that much, especially when you're wearing something of his around his friends :')

he says “i love you” first, no doubt.

he’s a bit nervous when he does because he doesn’t know if you’ll reciprocate, but he really does love you and he feels like he physically can’t hold it in anymore.

“i promise you don’t have to say it back!” isagi reassures anxiously. “i know it’s a really big commitment, and if it’s too early for you right now-”

“i love you, too.”

of clinging and comfort-p.m

summary: in which you and peter are childhood best friends and after re-uniting after he was away with the x-men on a long mission two things become clear: he’s clingy and you both feel something much stronger than just friendship

warnings: none that i can think of! mention of not fitting in as a child and reader sits on peter’s lap but i don’t describe weight or anything! but that’s about it- this is a fluffy fluffy fic following two dorks

oh and it’s not proof read so pls let me know if you see any mistakes!

word count: 1.564k

authors note: this is a request made by my lovely friend @amourtentiaa who was inspired by this set of headcanons by @hellish-ramblings-of-an-emo for a best friends-to-lovers fic for pete

go check out the original headcanons they’re great!! and helped inform an initial background to how peter and the reader became friends but that’s about all i used them for !

Peter Maximoff was a young man who, in his youth, found it hard to make friends. As a child he felt secluded from those around him - insecurity thwarted his mind as his anti-social nature and his mutation left him feeling apart, different, from his peers. Naturally he hated school, each day felt as though he was stepping closer into the clutches of seclusion, as children grew further from him, and all he wanted to do was play games in his basement all day.

It wasn't until you had moved next door that Peter had ever truly felt like another child could understand him, could like the quirks that combined to make up the little boy with super-speed who kept to himself despite his charismatic nature. You had moved into the house directly next to Peters and having been vacant for quite a large portion of Peter’s youth he was apprehensive about having a neighbour, especially when his mother told him said neighbour would be a child of his age.

His mother dragged him over to your front door, having him knock and stand in front of her so that they could welcome you into the neighbourhood. When he door opened Peter feared for the rest but any negative thoughts were whisked away by the dazzling smile painted on your little lips, a few teeth missing from the collection of tiny pearls that displayed such a beautiful sight.

That moment solidified the start of an inseparable connection between Peter Maximoff and you and ever since he ran across the threshold of your new home, grabbing your hand and going straight to the garden to play, you were joined at the hip. Over the years your friendship only grew stronger, drawing the quirks out of the others personality and developing a comfortable environment that left hardly any boundaries between the two of you - so in tune with one another that at times you only needed a single darting of eyes or touching of skin to understand what the other was saying or needed.

However, Peter had joined the X-Men and with such a responsibility came less time with you. You were proud of him, in fact your heart swelled with pride at the thought of him using his mutation to help others (such a thing revealed to you when he accidentally went a little too fast running up your stairs and crashed into the wall, a positively Peter-shaped hole in the drywall). Yet, a part of your heart couldn’t help but ache at the thought of Peter being away for so long - he was your other half and not had you allowed a friendship to developed but a small crush that left butterflies swarming in your stomach at the thought of his touch or one of his corny jokes.

Peter was to be returning after a fairly lengthy mission and neither of you could wait to see the other, desperate for a hug, to feel the others presence physically to know that they weren’t just a dream - yet it seemed that for the two of you a day seemed like a millennia, and not just because the world seemed to move slower for the silver-haired speedster.

You were waiting at the school for his arrival - Charles granting you special access for he knew how Peter depended on you mentally as well as physically. How after a long day all Peter needed was you - your melodic voice as you softly whispered words of affection and admiration, your soft skin as your arms wrapped themselves around his torso, the soft touch of your lips on his neck as you snuggled your head in the crook of it to take in his scent and the reminder that he truly was home - and suc ha sequence of feelings and events occurred the second he returned home, you sprinting towards him despite his enhanced abilities, a second longer was a second wasted with your best friend.

The days after a mission consisted of you staying at the school whilst Peter clung impossibly close to you. He wouldn’t let you out of his sight, always having to keep some form of physical contact with you - perhaps as a physical reminder that you’re safe and well but also stemming simply from the fact that he missed you so - in Peter’s case, it was likely a mix of both. He missed you dearly, of course he did, but there was something about these emissions, in witnessing the harm that the world is capable of, that brews a bubble of anxiety within his chest, forming a worry that can only be caused and quoted by you. For he worries something may happen to you under such cruelty yet he can’t qualm such fears until you’re there to assure him that such a thing hasn’t happened.

Thus Peter becomes something one can only describe as clingy. His hands often travelled to the small of your back, slightly calloused thumbs rubbing against the skin there. His fingertips often danced across yours at the dinner table, or his hand found solace in our lap, rubbing soothing circles into your thigh. His head would rest against yours as you shared an armchair, arms winding round your waist to hold you close. If you even tried to leave a room without him, his enhanced abilities would have him catching up in a second, eyes darting around the room searching for even the tiniest hint of danger.

You actually found the whole ordeal rather endearing ,especially since Peter was giving you affection that felt much more intimate than that shared between friends. Despite such affection coursing through your veins, however, you couldn’t help but tease Peter for his clinginess. You were snuggled up on a crimson velvet armchair together ,the fire cracklings in front of you as you sat on Peter’s lap with your head on his chest. You felt his snuggle closer, the grip of his hands around your torso increasing ever so slightly that the common person wouldn’t. Notice if they weren’t so understanding of their best friend’s actions. A smile threatened to curl the corner of your lips as you softly asked, ‘Is Maxibaby feeling clingy today?’ At the faux sincerity in our voice, Peter’s muscles tense and you could physically hear the pout on his lips as he grumbled, ‘I’m not a baby.’

Slightly giggling to yourself you shifted up from his lap and with a light-spring in your step called over your shoulder teasingly, ‘Sure you’re not Maxibaby!’ and proceeded to pick up your pace as you were out of view from the doorway. Of course, your fastest run was like a slow walk for Peter and he caught up immediately, arms swooping down to gather you into them as he swung you around and carried you swiftly to his room. Throwing you lightly on the bed and emitting a squeal from you, Peter just stood there with his arms folded and a frown curling his lips downwards to match the furrow of his brow. You knew he was joking, the pair of you often jokingly faking emotion to tease the other but you knew it was best to give into the game for anyone was determined to prove a point it was Peter Maximoff, and he wanted to prove he was not a baby.

He didn’t move and you just tilted your head to the side and cocked a brow as you asked unamused, ‘Peter, what?’ He said nothing and instead flopped right atop you, pinning you to the bed with his body, deadweight above you as he became as stiff as a board. You wriggled and writhed beneath him muffled shouts of ‘Get off me Peter’ and ‘You’re so heavy’ falling upon deaf ears as he simply wrapped his arms around you and mumbled into your chest, ‘Not until you give me some attention,’ snuggling impossibly closer to emphasise his point.

With a huff of faux indifference you basked in Peter’s touch and warmth, cuddling up against him. Smiling against his skin you joked, ‘I thought you weren’t a baby?’ And with sheer conviction he replied, ‘I’m not! Just couldn’t spend too long away from my favourite person could I?’ With dazzling grins gracing both your faces and gentle giggles faded, the pair of you were slowly being lulled into a gentle sleep of safety and comfort, as you both lay in the arms of the one person in the world that made you feel protected from any ounce of harm, be that mental or physical, that may come your way.

Peter’s hands started to draw gentle circles on your waist and from his lips he softly whispered against your hair, ‘You know I love you right?’ hands clutching you tighter against him, ‘like actually love you.’ And as he pressed a kiss against your forehead, you basked in the melody of his love, that had your heart dancing to perfectly and without needing him to elaborate further you whispered back, ‘I love you too Peter, like actually love you.’ And so you lay there, two best friends turned lovers, who didn’t need large speeches or fancy words to know exactly just what the other was meaning. All you needed was an ‘I love you’ and a forehead kiss to share the thousands of emotions swirling within the entwined hearts of both of you.

How to Say I Love You

Warnings: Smut implied.

Summary: One day, Jay takes it upon himself to be an extra-cute boyfriend. The reason? It takes (y/n) a while to find out.

A/N: Posting super late because the day was hard. So, just some more Jay fluff to brighten our days. Hope you like it!

As soon as you woke up, you felt light kisses being pressed to all of your very exposed skin, and an inevitable smile came to your lips.

“Good morning, princess.” Jay whispered in your ear with a husky voice.

“Good morning for you too, baby.” You answered him while bringing his face closer to yours. On that movement, before you could kiss him, you caught a glance of your bedside clock. “Oh my God, Jay! Look at the time! I thought we’d agreed to get as much sleep as we could after last night!” You quickly reprehended him. “Or have you forgotten that both of us still have to go to work today?” You asked, trying to sound annoyed at him when the most you managed to do was breathe out was a moan, as he nibbed your earlobe.

“Oh, I know how much you like sleeping, babygirl. But I know that there are a few things you’d give up your sleep for.” He stated in a very sexy tone.

“And what exactly makes you think that you’re one of those things?” You teased your boyfriend, hoping he’d respond to it like you thought he would.

“Ah, just a little something,” he teased back while slowly putting his hand between your legs, not even bothering to lift the hem of the shirt you were wearing, “like this.”

“Oh, Jay…” And, just like that, you were completely fine with waking up early.

---

Throughout the day, you just couldn’t keep the smile off your face, as your boyfriend took it upon himself to be the cutest person in the world. Why? You had no idea. All you knew was that he'd gotten the day off but, since you couldn't the same, he'd decided to go to work nonetheless.

His romantics for no apparent reason started with a bouquet of your favorite flowers and a note that read:

“Will you be my lunch date today? *blinking face*

P.S.: 12:00 - 13:00 is all I have. Sorry, doll :(

Meet me at our spot?

⎼ Your bae.”

He used bae. If he wasn’t so cute, and if you didn’t love him so much, you would have cringed at the choice, and he knew it. Ah, that man...

A few hours after that, you went to meet Jay for lunch at your spot ⎼ which was one of the benches along the Riverwalk, where you’d first met ⎼, absolutely decided on calling him out for being so mushy. But, as you walked closer towards him, you could see that your boyfriend was holding a picnic basket in one hand, and a bottle of champagne in the other, and, as corny as that was, you couldn’t help but grin.

“Drinking on duty now, detective?” You asked, raising your eyebrow at him.

“Nope. This one’s without alcohol. And, trust me, you’ll like it.” He told you, a sweet smile on his lips.

“Hum, maybe... But I wouldn’t really mind if it was bad either.” You half-whispered at Jay.

“Oh no?” He asked you with a smirk this time.

“No. The company makes up for anything else.” You said while moving to kiss him.

“Geez, babe, you're such a dork!" He said, making fun of you after the kiss was over.

"Really? That's what you're going with?" You, the dork? Big joke.

"What else can I say if it's the truth?" Jay asked you through his lashes, an innocent expression in-face.

"Look who's talking!" You said while rolling your eyes.

Not long after that, he put an end to your little banter. Saying that he didn't wanna spend another second of the few moments the two of you had until the evening arguing was an understatement. You agreed, even though you knew that both of you secretly enjoyed the bickerings as well as you did everything else.

Later, on that same day, when you were about to leave work, you decided to call your boyfriend.

"Hey, babe." He answered, on the fourth ring, voice letting on some tiredness.

"Hey there, handsome! I'm already leaving work, think I’mma go swim a little. Unless… There's a chance you're getting off a little earlier yourself?" You tried your luck, thinking about making him relax a little before you two left for dinner.

"Uh… Sorry, babe, I don't think I'll be able to." A deep sigh. Something was wrong.

"Jay. Is everything okay?" Another sigh. Shit.

"It's nothing for you to worry about, baby. Just a pain-in-the-ass case we can't seem to solve. When all I wanted to do was be home with you." He confessed.

"Huh. Now, tell me, who's the dork?" You heard his muffled laugh over the phone.

"I am. You know it. I know it. Everyone who knows us knows it." At that, you were the one who giggled. "And, believe me, I bear the title with pride." More laughing, from both of you this time.

"Okay, then… So, um, is there anything I can do? Maybe we cancel that dinner reservation?"

"No! No, not at all! You just… Go do your swimming and don't worry about me, okay?" Jay sounded a bit weird this time, but you brushed it off, thinking that it was just the stress of the day.

"Okay…" You replied, still unconvinced.

"Alright, I gotta go now. Love you."

"Okay, bye. Love you too. Be safe!"

"Always, baby." With that, he hung up quickly, which he never did ⎼ always dragging the conversations for as long as he could. But, once again, you decided to do what your boyfriend told you to and not worry about it.

It was already a bit into the evening and you were stretching your body to leave the swimming pool, when you saw him. Jay. So you got out and walked over to him.

"Fancy meeting you here, miss (y/l/n)." He greeted innocently.

"Well, this is a surprise. Yet another one. On the same day." You said, just to let him know that his weird behaviors weren't going by unnoticed.

"Ah, you know what they say… Gotta keep the relationship interesting!" Ha, ha. He was up to something. So you just gave him a suspicious look. To which he answered with a huge smile, saying: "What?"

"Nothing. Nothing besides the fact that you're up to something. What is it?"

"Oh. My. God." Jay said emphatically, faking offense. "I'm offended. You think that poorly of me?"

"What do you mean?" You asked him, a bit confused this time.

"You really think that I can't just try and brighten my princess's day?" He said, walking closer to you this time.

"Well, I guess that I wouldn't object to that, but what I'm saying is tha-" Before you could finish your sentence, he was pulling you towards him, pressing your bodies on a tight embrace and kissing you passionately.

"Oh no, Jay, you should let me go! I'm all wet!" You squeal out as Jay keeps holding you up in the air against his firm abdomen.

"I don't mind." He told you with a shrug of shoulders. "I'm used to having you like this." He, then, whispers in your ear and you can feel his smirk, as he kisses your neck.

"Jay!" You hissed in fake disapproval. "We're in public! You can't be saying these things to me in public!"

"Sorry, baby. But you know that I just can't help myself around you." He tells you, deliberately taking his time. At that, you just throw back your head in laughter. "Besides, it doesn't seem to me like you're feeling all that bothered with my actions…"

"But I am!" You said assertively. But then you remembered your conversation from earlier and asked him, in a softer tone: "Hey, um, how did the case go? Are you still feeling up for the dinner thing?" As soon as the words left your mouth, you watched Jay shift his entire demeanor.

"Yeah! We're definitely still going! And, as I told you before, the case was just a pain in the ass, nothing more." He sounded nervous. Weird. Like he was hiding something.

"Jay…"

"Let's just go, okay? Cause we still need to get ready for dinner. I already put your stuff in the duffel bag. My car's right outside." Jay told you quickly, like he didn't wanna give you time to make any conclusions.

"Okay, then…"

---

“C’mon, (y/n/n)! We’re running late!” You heard your boyfriend shouting for you to come out of your shared bedroom.

“Hey! Don’t you dare to rush me! Not when you’re the reason I’m running late in the first place!” You sharply answered, stepping out into the living room whilst putting your earring on. “Besides, that place we’re going is just too fancy. I need to look perfect.” You added more calmly, only now realizing how Jay was staring at you. “What? Is something wrong?”

“Wha- wrong? No! No!” He quickly assured you and closed the distance between the two of you. “You already look perfect. Every single day.”

“What? Jay, I’m serious!” You pouted, giving him an annoyed glare.

“I am too! You look gorgeous, baby.” He told you with that glorious smile of his. “And, really, there’s just no place on the planet that could make you look any less gorgeous.”

“Okay, now you’re just trying to get me to hurry up!” You accused, hitting him with considerable strength in the chest.

“Ouch! That hurt! And, yes, I am trying to hurry you up! Because we have a reservation!” He yelled at you in response. If it was any other time, you would’ve argued with him, of course. But even you had to admit he was right, you were on the clock.

“Okay, okay! I’m just gonna grab my purse and we’ll go!” You shouted back, already from the bedroom.

After that, the two of you managed to leave your apartment and get to the restaurant on time, due to Jay promising the cab driver a doubled pay if he went faster.

As soon as you arrived, though, you saw it was worth it. You still had no clue of what got in your boyfriend’s head to take you out on this kind of date for no apparent reason like that, especially after everything else he’d already done, but you obviously weren’t about to complain either.

The maître walked both of you two to a table on the upper floor of the establishment, it had an amazing view of the city and it was a pretty reserved space. So, right after you'd placed your orders and been left alone, you half-squealed at Jay:

"Oh. My. God." Your smile was wide and your eyes were shining. "This place is incredible, babe!" He looked at you with devotion, clearly amused by your reaction.

"I know right? I'm really glad we got to come here." He stated, his whole behavior letting you know that he was just as impressed.

And, like that, the evening flew by and you caught yourself stifling yawn after yawn.

"Baby, you’re not too desperate to go home, are you? Because there's still one thing I wanna show you." Your boyfriend said, pulling you by your hand to get up. Then, he guided you to that part where you'd been able to view most Chicago, earlier in the night.

"Wow," you said, leaning against the balcony to see the details, "this really is great, babe." When you’d walked past this part you wondered about why they hadn't put any tables there, only a small couch, but now you knew. They didn't want to make that space ⎼ that landscape ⎼ prisoner of one couple, or one family, that would most likely stay there the entire night.

"It is." He agreed with you.

"You know, I hadn't brought it up yet, because I thought that you'd eventually tell me on your own, but you've been acting a little weird the whole day. This morning in bed, the flowers, then the picnic lunch, picking me up at swimming, and now this… You didn't sound too good on that call either, and I gotta admit that when you said we were going out for a fancy dinner, I didn't think it'd be here, where it's practically impossible to get a reservation. So, just… Talk to me, Jay."

"(y/n/n)... Would you even believe me if I told you that that's what I've been preparing to do the whole day?" He asked you with a shy smile.

"Will you be mad at me if I say no?" You asked, a bit apprehensively. He just laughed.

"Nah, not really." He told you jokingly. "But I have." He said, more serious this time. “Baby, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me.” He started telling you.

“Jay-” You whispered nervously, sort of anticipating what was about to happen.

“No, just- just please let me finish. I need you to understand how important you are to me, princess. Hell, I know that words aren’t really my strongest suit, but you deserve to know that you’re my light, my lifeline, my happiness… You’re my everything, (y/n/n). My entire world. And, because of you, now I think that it is actually okay to dream, to hope for a better future, for a future. That’s why I wanna ask you, tonight, to be my future, just like you already are my present.” At that moment you couldn’t keep the tears off of your face anymore, and you would’ve jumped him right then if he hadn’t gotten down on one knee. “Will you marry me, (y/n) (y/l/n)?” He asked you with a timid smile and teary eyes of his own. As you took in the man you loved, kneeled before you, holding an open box with the diamond ring you’d recognized as being his mother’s, you just stood there crying, not managing to say anything. “B- baby? Please say something.” Jay spoke again, letting out a nervous choked laugh. So you forced yourself to answer him.

“Oh m- my God, yes!!” You squealed out.

“Yes?!?” He repeated what you said, still on the ground.

“Of course, yes!!!” You confirmed, pulling him up to kiss you. While at it, your boyfriend, now fiancé, almost dropped the small velvet box he was holding.

“Okay,” he started, chuckling, after the two of you parted a little, “let me put this thing on your finger before you back down!”

“Ha, ha. As if I was going to! You’re only in a hurry because you’re scared you’ll drop your mom’s ring.” You bickered a little, letting him know that you recognized the jewelry, to which he responded with a bright smile, saying:

“It’s your ring now, princess. And, trust me, she’d love you almost as much as I do if she were still here.” He told you, shining eyes meeting yours, as he slipped the stunning piece in your finger.

“Jay.” You breathed out as the tears resurfaced in your eyes. “It is so beautiful…” You told him looking down at the ring you had in-hand. “And… You really mean that?”

“100%, princess. If I’m being honest, there are a lot of times when you actually remind me of her…” He said, tearing up a little.

“Awww, babe...” You said throwing your arms around him again.

And that’s how you two stayed. Just holding each other, under a very starry night in Chicago. More than ready to start walking down that new road together.
