confession | mkl
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
bestfriend!mark x gn!reader summary: a small misunderstanding combined with his impulsive acts led mark to finally confess the feelings he had been keeping to himself for so long. a/n: hii, anon! i took longer than i expected, but i finally made it! thanks for your patience! I'm not sure if it's exactly what you had in mind, but i did my best!! cw: fluff, best friends to lovers (and lemme know if i missed some!)
Tumblr media
ANXIOUS (adjective) 1. experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. 2. wanting something very much, typically with a feeling of unease.
that was a perfect word to describe mark lee. from the moment he discovered his feelings for you, he was like a house of cards. one subtle movement or one simple word from you could bring his emotions crumbling down. he was always on the verge of a collapse whenever he was around you. a slight touch, the way you looked at him—all of it was enough to send him over the edge. he was a fragile, broken version of himself when it came to you.
the way he felt was beyond friendship or just liking each other. it was a deeper and more romantic kind of love, the kind that he wanted to devote his life to. to marry you and live with you for the rest of his life, it was the closest thing to perfection he could ever want.
even after so many years together, mark still wasn't able to tell you about his sudden change in his heart. the one common fear was weighing him down: losing you because of his feelings.
deep down, he knew that even if you didn't like him in this way, you wouldn't just distance yourself from it. instead, you were more likely to ask for some time to sort out your thoughts before returning to normal. but the very prospect of a temporary separation was enough to make him nervous and anxious again.
and it's not as if he hadn't already tried to tell you about his feelings before. he had actually started leaving hints and clues all the way back since... since ever. you both have known each other even before you knew your own names—you were born within just two days of difference in the same hospital, your mothers were friends and neighbors, so you both were practically raised together. it seemed like fate had brought you together.
the seeds of his sentiments for you started to bloom back when you both were in elementary school. it was the innocent acts like holding your hand together as you walked to school that made his heart pound and his face flush, which always caused you to look at him with worried eyes, thinking that he may be sick.
that was the issue with you—you were painfully oblivious. like, what parts did you not notice that pointed toward his love for you?
he was always complimenting you whenever he had the chance, because, wow, you're amazing in so, so, so many ways.
he paid extra attention in everything related to you, taking notice of the tiniest details about everything you shared with him and always finding an excuse to have quality time with you (he didn't even need a reason for that, as you were always up for spend time with him).
he was always giving you gifts saying, "i saw that and it reminded me of you”.
he loves telling others about how incredible his best friend is, and how proud he is of you.
he would always rush at your call no matter the situation, no matter the place, no matter the reason. one single word of yours is all he needs to come running, because that’s how much he cares for you.
the way that he looked at you with heart eyes the moment you were physically present with him... it was all too obvious—everything about him scream that he likes you.
it is no secret to the people around you that he is completely head over heels for you. It is plain as day that he is deeply in love with you, but the person who doesn't see it is you. and that makes the situation rather amusing to others. after all, you don't seem to know how he feels. the irony is that mark is so preoccupied with his own feelings and how to end things between the two of you that he doesn't even notice that your feelings are the same as his.
it was inevitable that everything you said would somehow include "mark" in it. he'd become the focus of your thoughts for days, constantly on your mind in every situation and conversation. everything seemingly revolved around him, with every thought and idea eventually connecting back to his name as the starting point.
how was your day? it was an amazing time with mark at the new cat coffee we visited. the little cats were simply adorable! mark looked like he was in heaven playing with the kittens, and I took loads of photos of him. do you want to see them?
did you watch that new movie at cinema? yes, i really liked it, but mark said it was terrible, can you believe it?! can’t wait to tell him every single flaw on spider-man movies!
how do you feel about art? i mean, mark is pretty cool.
mark this, mark that.
mark. mark. mark.
you somehow always tend to find yourself mentioning him without even realizing, and, whenever anyone asks if you guys are dating, the answer remains the same: “no, we're just good friends”.
this phrase irks him, for he does not wish to be merely a mere friend; he wants more. he wants you all to himself.
despite the countless frustrations he faces daily, he could not bring himself to say it all to you. for some reason, he found comfort in being just your best friend. it was better than nothing, he thought. being in that position, he couldn't even imagine the humiliation and embarrassment of admitting his true feelings. he knew it was hopeless—so why bother? he would rather be content with what he currently had over risking everything in some grand gesture.
mark left a soft sigh escape his lips. renjun's words echoed in his mind after another night of talking about you. he had been rumbling on about you, unable to get you off his mind. this wasn't the first time he had done this either, but this time felt different. renjun's question stuck out, and it hit him in his heart:
"if you truly love someone, and i mean with every fiber of your being, wouldn't you move mountains and swim across oceans just for a chance with them? is protecting what you already have worth losing everything you desire?"
mark had no explanation for why his friend's words had such sway over him this time, but here he was, knocking at your door on this beautiful valentine’s day evening.
calling you for a night walk together was a not uncommon activity between the two of you, as you were accustomed to taking your dog for a walk and mark always joined in so you wouldn't be alone. but tonight, he felt as though this night walk was different somehow. more special than usual. at least for him.
hearing your voice respond from the other side of the door with a "i'm coming," mark took a deep breath, almost as if preparing himself for whatever he hadn't planned for the night. as the door opened, there wasn't even time to say something before your dog jumped on him.
"oh, hey girl," mark laughed with a big smile on his face, leaning down to pet the dog that was joyously jumping all over him. the pup seemed eager for his attention, her tail wagging and mouth opened in a toothy grin. "did you miss me?" he asked, scratching her behind the ears as she barked in reply, her tail wagging even more.
"ah, the usual scene we have here," you sighed dramatically as this familiar interaction played out. "i mean, i take care of her and look after her, but of course, she goes and greets the person she loves the most instead," you click your tongue, shaking your head in disappointment at the clear favoritism she was showing.
mark rolled his eyes at your comment and straightened his body to face you with an amused smile. "you know that isn't true," he chuckled, casually placing his hands in his pockets. "yeah, this little lie helps me sleep at night," you say with a hint of sarcasm that isn't lost on him, making him giggle. "how was your day, drama queen?” mark questioned as you took control of coco's leash and led you both on the walk.
"oh, you know, the office today was full of surprise love confessions," you shrugged, leaving a soft laugh to escape you as you shook your head. "it's the 'love is in the air' thing," you added.
mark raised an eyebrow and turned to face you as he sounded slightly more curious than casual as he asked, "and... did you receive some of them?" he tried to sound non-chalant.
"well, yes, actually," you giggled softly again, reliving the moment in your mind. your answer caught mark by surprise, and it took him a few seconds to register the information before he could continue walking again. "you... did?" he asked hesitantly, a slightly incredulous tone in his voice as he wondered precisely how many confessions you got.
"a-and who was it?" he asked somewhat carefully, worried that his completely unplanned and not entirely sure if he would even actually confess confession might have already been ruined. "you know the new intern i was training?” you look at makt by the corner of your eyes, "let’s say he thought i was giving signals like hints and not instructions,” you sigh, shaking your head. “he was the only one tho.”
"oh, i see…" a small sigh of relief escapes his lips as he smiles back at you. "but what about you, mr. heartthrob?" you tease, poking his arm with your elbow. "did you get any love chocolates today?”
"of course," he nods with a small smidge of amusement in his eyes. "haechan and doyoung gave me a few ones again," he shrugs casually, and you can't help but laugh at the slight absurdity of getting multiple gifts from the same people year after year.
"should i start giving you chocolate too?" you ask jokingly, playing around with the idea. "i have a feeling that i might be replaced by these boys if things keep going this way, and i don't want to lose you to them," adding a cheeky edge to your tone.
"don't even joke about that," he denies right away, making you laugh at the intensity he rejected it with. "i know, silly, i know. you love me quite a lot," you tease with a wink. "yeah, i sure do," he mutters, his voice still tinged with the smallest shred of embarrassment.
as you both make your way over to the nearby dog park that was just a short distance from here, there are only a handful of people around. you release coco's leash as you settle down on a bench next to mark, and the two of you sit, content in the quiet evening.
"we still don't have lovers, mark," you sigh dramatically, leaning your head on his shoulder as you watch your dog happily frolic around in space. "look at us," you lament once more with another dramatic sigh, "we're at a dog park in the most romantic night of the year!" you shake your head slightly as you continue to keep a close eye on your dog.
the moment you leaned against him, mark had to fight off a swirl of sensations that briefly overwhelmed him. your proximity, your warmth, and the intoxicating scent of your hair had his head spinning. after taking several breaths to compose himself, he mustered the strength to respond with a bit of hesitance.
"i-it's not that bad..." he muttered breathlessly, realizing just how much he enjoyed you being close. after a few seconds, he continued, "we have each other," he chuckled softly.
"right, nothing better than two best friends who have enjoyed being on the shelf for so long, spending yet another year together on valentine's day," you teased him lightly, your lips curled upwards in a little grin. "as if you've ever displayed genuine interest in anyone else either, hm?" he counters in return, his smirk matching yours in both intensity and humor as he continued gently teasing you.
"well, i'm not so sure i'm made for love," you shrugged casually as you leaned against the bench slightly. "but what about you?" you add, pulling your attention away from coco long enough to glance at him curiously. "i've always seen you as this ultimate girl crush guy since we were in school, yet i've never seen you with a girlfriend. so, i have to ask... have you ever liked someone?”
with your question, his eyes were unconsciously drawn to you, admiring your features and taking in every single detail of you to store away, it was almost as if he was mentally engraving you in his mind, forever preserving you in his memory, like he always did.
he let out a soft sigh as he stared, the heat rising to his cheeks as he glanced away, unable to face you for a moment, his thoughts already racing.
a little whisper escaped him as he uttered the words, almost as if they were too precious for him to speak it too publicly. "y-yes, i did..." mark's voice was barely audible, but the sound carried an emotional undertone.
those few words were enough to stir something unexpected inside you, a faint twinge in your heart. you weren't sure why his words gave you that slight pang, but there was something about the way he said it that made it feel as though he wasn't talking about an old crush. it made you realize that you weren't quite okay with the thought of mark in love with someone.
"wait, really?" you raised your eyebrows in disbelief, placing a hand on your chest and feigning pain. "you never told me? why?! you don't trust me?" laughing softly, the smile on your lips quickly disappeared to little pout. "you're the worst, you know? l8ke, the worst betrayal i could ever suffer," you added with over-dramatic flare.
"c'mon, it's not like that," mark waved his hands dismissively. "i just... i couldn't tell you." your brow remained quirked, your curiosity piqued as he stumbled over the next thing he said. "and why?" you prompted gently, noticing the change in his energy. “it's just... i didn't want you figuring out who it was that i liked.”
mark shifted in his seat, clearing his throat as he did. his eyes were focused on you, considering his words and the situation at hand. as he looked at your face, he realized the sudden shift in the vibes between the two of you, which caught him off-guard.
you can't help but feel slightly upset at the fact that he kept this information hidden from you. it might be silly, but you felt weird knowing that he didn't tell you everything as you had imagined best friends supposed to do. you began to wonder if there were other things that he had kept from you over the years.
mark was observant, and the small shift in your smile wasn't wasted on him. he saw how your demeanor subtly changed as he spoke, and he could tell that you were a little hurt by the information he shared. he had to do something to correct the situation, and he couldn't let you misunderstand him.
"wait, wait, wait" he started quickly, "don't get it wrong...”
“no, no, i get it," you dismissed softly, waving your hands in a brushing-off motion, making it clear that you understood his hesitation. "it's fine," you added with a smile, laughing softly as coco stopped playing and came to greet you, sitting in front of you and waiting for your attention, which you gave to her, petting her head affectionately. “i know there are things we aren't comfortable sharing, and–"
"i like you!" mark's words spilled out of his mouth before he could think properly.
you froze, slowly looking at him with wide eyes, blinkling several times as your brain did a double take, trying to process if you'd heard him correctly. "what?" all you could manage to say in reply, confused and surprised by what he'd just confessed to you.
mark wasn't planning on doing it this way. a confession was supposed to be more romantic than this, maybe taking you to a nice dinner or to the amusement park, somewhere more special. he wanted it to be more meaningful than just letting it slip in the heat of the moment like he just did.
“look, I..." mark hesitated, unsure of how to begin his confession. oh god, he was so nervous, his heart pounding loudly in his chest, his hands clenched tightly in fists as sweat dripped down his back.
his mind was racing with a billion thoughts, his words refusing to come easily. how was he supposed to confess in this moment, when everything felt so overwhelming, when every fiber of his being was screaming at him to just say it and get it over with, but his fear of rejection was keeping him paralyzed.
“i-i haven't told you about that because... b-because you are the person i’ve loved since i can remember," mark struggles to get his words out, his breathing quickening as the words felt like they were getting stuck in his throat. "i love you so much that my heart hurts, you know?" he continues, his volume picking up a bit now that he's talking easier. "our friendship is so valuable, it's so precious to me... i-i didn't want to lose it.”
gosh, he sounded like such sappy romantic movie right now, yet it was all true. every single word, the words of a teenager who fell head-over-heels in love and knew that this was real, that this was more than just a crush, more than just attraction. mark was talking from his heart now, and he was opening up in ways he hadn't done with anyone before.
“i want you; i want the whole of you", he continues, his words becoming more and more passionate as he went on. "i don't care if it's selfish, but i want you, need you, i want you wholly and with everything inside of you. and maybe... yeah, maybe, that's really selfish of me, but it's the truth…”
mark felt like his heart was on the verge of exploding at any moment, as if he could drop dead from the overwhelming emotions running through his body, his face hot and red as if he were suffering heat exhaustion. but somehow, he felt a rush of relief, like an immense weight had been lifted off of his shoulders the instant he finally confessed to you.
coco was the only source of noise in the tense silence that hung between the two of you after mark's abrupt confession, her tongue lolling out as she stared back and forth between the both of you.
your jaw hung slightly open as you stared at mark, feeling like you could barely comprehend what had just happened. your insides went into overdrive, fluttering wildly while the infamous butterflies in your stomach fluttered like crazy, seemingly on a mission to take up even more space. you wanted to say something, anything, but the words got stuck in your throat. all you could manage to do was to stare at him, your heart racing ahead so fast that it felt like you could feel the pulsations.
your lack of response snaps mark back to reality, and he begins to panic, realizing that he may have completely misread the situation and ruined everything.
“b-but of course that's just how i feel... y-you don't have to like me back," he stutters quickly, hoping to fix the situation and make sure you wouldn't feel awkward. "if you d-don't feel comfortable around me anymore, i-it's okay, i understand, this was a complete mista—”
he couldn't finish his sentence because you silenced him with a kiss. your lips press together forcefully, making a soft 'smack' sound as they finally collide. he was tense for a moment, his eyes fluttering open as if surprised by your bold move, but he quickly relaxed, his hands gently cupping your face as he reciprocated the kiss, the warmth of his fingers seeping into your skin as he pressed his lips to yours.
he savored the sensation of your lips against his, the taste of your kiss sweeter than anything he had ever imagined. it felt surreal, like something out of a fantasy, and in that moment, he felt like the luckiest person in the world. the heat from your skin and the heat from your lips, the warmth that surrounded him as your bodies pressed against each other was intoxicating, a delicious rush that made his head swim. he wanted to lose himself in the moment forever, to stay lost in you for eternity.
yet, the inevitable finally struck and your lips parted as your lungs cried for air, the two of you panting heavily and staring at one another, both of you filled with delight as your sparkling eyes locked with each other.
“d...does that mean that you...?" mark couldn't seem to make his mind stop racing, not after that explosive kiss.
"are you really asking that question, mark?" you couldn't help but laugh, shaking your head as you noticed him flustered.
"s-sorry... i'm just..." he was still feeling your lips against his, still getting lost in the sensation as the memories of the kiss were running through his head now.
"yes, I like you too, silly.”
right, he really was the happiest person in the world right now.
“can i have... another kiss?" mark looked at you with pleading eyes, wanting more but uncertain of his request would be granted. you didn't hesitate at all, responding quickly with "you don't even have to ask,” as you lean in toward mark to grant his wish.
but as you two are just inches away from locking lips again, coco's sudden jump into mark's lap catches the both of you off-guard, interrupting your almost-second kiss and making the two laugh as the adorable dog makes herself comfortable on his lap.
mark's hands immediately reach out to gently pet her, and when she spots your gaze on her, her tail waves proudly, as if she's very satisfied with the outcome of her interruption.
"of course she's jealous," you roll your eyes at the dog's favouritism for mark, making her way into his lap and immediately getting petted.
"well, she was my girl first, right?" mark said in a cute baby voice, prompting a happy bark from coco. "what am i to you, chopped liver?" you countered, raising an eyebrow and pretending to be upset.
mark looked at you and smiled, laughing at the silly argument. "i guess in her world, you really are, my dear," he teased, as he scratched coco behind the ear. "oh, that's it, you two." you laugh, shaking your head as you playfully punch mark's arm.
coco, sensing all the attention coming to her now, jumped out of mark's lap and walked towards you, demanding cuddles. "finally, she chose me over you," you said jokingly, and started petting her head. "by the way, you didn't even bring me some chocolates? what kind of confession is that?" you protested, pretending to be upset.
"a little box of chocolates wouldn't be enough to express everything i feel for you," he shrugged.
a soft smile still etched on your face, “my boyfriend is so cheesy, oh my god," you said, laughing. "i didn't know you had this side to you," you said gigling.
"please, say it again," mark begged suddenly.
"say what?" you asked, playing dumb.
"you know what i mean, say it again."
"that you are my boyfriend?" you raised an eyebrow, your eyes shining with mirth.
"jesus, can you please repeat it again?"
"you. are. my. boyfriend." you repeated lovingly.
“let me kiss you again, please," he pleaded, leaning forward eagerly.
the little back and forth had you laughing, feeling your heart melt a little each time his eyes twinkled with the flirty banter you were having. “hmm... what about we go back to my house and i give you many kisses, as much as you want and..." you lean in close, you voice lowered seductively as you whisper on his ear. "maybe even something more?”
mark's cheeks were flushed and his ears were burning, as he struggled to hold back the grin that plastered itself on his face. “t-then what are you waiting for?" he asked, quickly getting up. "it's cold out here; w-we should go back quickly!"

touch it || tom blyth x famous! reader
a/n: saw a tiktok using a sped up version of this song and knew i needed to write something with it for my husband. i think it’s gender neutral. i didn’t use any gendered descriptions. hope you enjoy !!
warnings: one curse word, a little suggestive, but nothing too spicy. reader is implied to be a celebrity of some sort, but it’s very vague.
how do I make the phone ring?
why do I even care?
you were sitting on your bed, staring at your phone, not so patiently waiting for a call, a text, even a simple instagram like from the man that had been plaguing your thoughts lately. 
ugh, you were pathetic. why did you even care if he liked your latest instagram post. it's not like there was anything going on between the two of you. you had just recently met through your mutual friend rachel. and things had certainly hit it off, but you weren't together. at least, not officially. 
and now here you were, waiting for a simple notification from tom that showed that he was thinking about you too. god, when did this happen?
how are you all around me when you're not really there?
when you're not really there?
you saw him everywhere now. you saw him in the coffee shop you visited everyday, in the park you walked by everyday and the city lights that shone through your window at night. all the while, he was on a completely different side of the planet, probably with some other girl. who knew?
no matter where you went, you'd see him. in the bakeries on the street, the coffee shops you visited and the city lights in any city you went to. but there was no confirmation that he felt the same way.
how do I feel you on me when you're not on my skin?
why do you say you want me, then tell me "I'm not coming in"?
baby, just come on in
the two of you had just gotten back from drinks with some friends. being the gentleman he is, he walked you home. your apartment wasn't too far from the bar anyways. despite the space between you two, you could feel his warmth on your skin.
"thanks for walking me home, tom," you stare up at his blue eyes. "it's no problem," he smiles, moving a strand of hair behind your ear. you both slowly lean in, the space between you decreasing with every second.
when your lips finally meet, it's like electricity flowing through your body. your hands cup his face as his snake their way down to your waist. it must've been the hundredth time you two had kissed, but the feeling never went away. as he deepens the kiss, your hands move up from his face to tangle up in his hair. his, move their way down south, finding a home on your ass. 
after a few moments, you two break apart, gasping for breath. you unlock the door behind you, it had been long forgotten as you two kissed. "you coming in?" you ask as you push the door open, looking up at him. "no, i shouldn't stay." he answers, but his eyes tell another story.
you simply nod and bid him goodbye. as you close the door behind you, the once warm feeling that filled you turns cold as you yearn for him to come back. you open the door and shout out, “just come in!”
hearing this he whips his head around with a large grin. he just shakes his head at you and enters your apartment.
'cause every time I'm with you, i go into a zone
and i remember all the places you wanna go
you had mentioned in passing that it had been years since you had gone to an arcade. hearing this, tom took it upon himself to take you. as you two played around on the different games, the world around you fades away. it felt as if you two were the only people in the world. that's how things seemed to work whenever you had tom by your side.
you had noticed the way that you remembered everything tom had said. the places he wanted to go, the food he wanted to eat, and more importantly, the things he wanted to do. you wanted nothing more than to experience it all with him. 
'cause every time i see you, i don't wanna behave
i’m tired of waiting so let’s pick up the pace
whenever you and tom were out in public, you wanted to throw all the pr training you had out the window. it took you everything in you to not start making out with him on the corner of the street as you two waited for some tacos. 
there was just something about tom that made him irresistible to you. "i got the tacos, are you ready to go?" he asks, bag of tacos in hand. "forget the tacos, i want you right now." thankfully, his apartment was nearby. the second he unlocks the door, you push him against the door and kiss him passionately, causing the bag to drop on the floor. 
he returns the passion and aggression, picking you up and pushing you against the door instead. his teeth nip at your bottom lip, causing a moan to slip out of your lip. "bedroom?" you ask as you part momentarily. he doesn't reply, merely nodding before leading you to his bedroom.
remind me why we're taking a break
it's obviously insane
'cause we both know what we want
so why don't we fall in love?
baby, let's fall in love
it had been a few weeks since you had last spoke, let alone seen tom. a stupid argument about god knows what had led to you two taking a break. at this point, you couldn't even remember what it was about. 
you just missed him, even if he was in the wrong. or were you in the wrong? who knew at this point? all you knew was that you wanted to be with him. "tom? i'm sorry, i was being overdramatic. i miss you." you blurt out as soon as he answers the call. "i'm sorry too, i was being overdramatic too.  i miss you. i think i'm falling in love with you." he admits to you, you don't wait a second before responding. "i think i'm falling in love with you too. come over?" "i'll be there in 10." he answers immediately before hanging up, probably in a rush to come see you. you smiled to yourself at his urgency, counting down the seconds until you two reunited. 
you're broken out of your thoughts at the sound of a knock. you quickly get up and open the door to reveal the man who’d been plaguing your thoughts from the moment your eyes met across the crowded room. he wastes no time and embraces you, sealing your lips with his own in a searing kiss.
“i’m sorry or i forgive you. i don’t even remember anymore. but i know that i am sorry for letting something so stupid get in between us. you’re the most important person in my life. i love you, so much.” he confess, your foreheads resting against each other. “i love you too, so, so much.” you move forward to kiss him. “does that mean we’re dating now?” you ask him, looking into his eyes. he laughs hearing that, “i thought we already were dating.” you laugh at his response. “well, we’re definitely dating now.” you declare with a smile.

Y/n Doing Media
masterlist
taylor swift x fem!NHL!reader
note: just getting to know yn better!
Tumblr media
The woman was walking up the tunnel on her way onto the ice for practice, but seeing the media girl having her phone out and a question, she stopped. Unlike most of the guys, Y/n really liked doing media, and the silly little questions they would get asked.
Today the question was ‘What would your goal song be if you had to pick’ an answer immediately popping into her head the woman quickly says, “The Man by Taylor Swift.” starting to run off as if she did something bad, gaining a laugh from the young media intern.
-
“‘Loudest on the team’?” blowing out a sigh, she thought for a moment before she realised the answer was obvious, “If not me, it has to be Smith.”
-
For the Dads and mentors trip, Y/n’s dad jumped at the opportunity to tell a fun fact about his daughter. He’s always so proud of her, and making her dream come true, he could never shut up about his daughter being the first woman in the NHL
“A fun fact about Y/n is.. When she was 13, she started playing for the boys A hockey team. And she came home after a practice once, when the boys gave her a particularly hard time and she said to me, ‘Dad, I know the boys don’t like me playing with them, and I thought it was because I’m a girl. But I think it’s because I’m better than them.’ And she was right! The next season she was playing for the boys AA team.”
-
Being the only woman on the team, when all the boys were getting asked if they think about the Roman Empire, Y/n was asked what she thinks the female version of the Roman Empire is.
“I think either Princess Diana or Henry VIII’s wives.” “Interesting.” “Thank you!”
-
Y/n was brought into the dressing room to answer some questions for the Devils tiktok page, her first question being one she is very passionate about. Ranking pizza toppings.
“Pineapple.” “Five. Oh my god, an abomination. Too Sweet.”
“Peppers.” “One- well.. If it’s green peppers one, but if it’s red or orange it’s the same problem as the pineapple, it’s too sweet. It like off-sets the pizza’s balance.”
“Sausage.” “Umm.. I would say three. Let's play it safe.”
“Pepperoni.” “Two.”
“Meatball and Onion.” “Safe to say I have never had that as a pizza topping, but I would try it.”
-
“So I just have to say if I think Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen said it?” getting a nod of confirmation from the team media girl, Y/n continues reading off the quote, “‘He looks up grinning like a devil, it’s new’ Taylor Swift. Easy. Can I get some harder ones?”

I have a soft spot for Bards. Once, a gender fluid bard who plays the same campaign as I do, scared a creep away and we never saw him again.
Thanks @thedomesticanthropologist for the dialogue. With her permission, I copied it here since it fits the mood of these two gremlins .
Check out her blog, it's amazing!
Hope you will enjoy these headcanons!
Masterlist
Headcanons
Astarion x Bard!Tav
Astarion is ready for everything when he meets you, but not for the fact you are the most unhinged person the Sword's Coast has seen.
The sworn enemy of many nobles whom you have offended in your songs.
Thrown up from numerous adventure parties for your horniness and a specific type of humor.
if you aren't beaten by someone's spouse for sleeping with a married person, you consider it a bad week.
All the Astarion's flattery? It falls flat!
There is nothing original in what he says. Nothing really interesting in his sweet words!
You could flirt better when you're five.
But you are curious.
Why is he using such cliche pick-up lines on you? Why is he so eager to do it? It's obvious he has no communication skills whatsoever! And hee sounds like a character from an erotic novel.
You are a professional, after all. If you wanted to seduce him, you would have sex the first two hours you two met.
So... you are waiting.
In the meantime, Astarion starts opening up. The real him is so much different from the 'seducer one". He sounds even innocent.
He finally invites you for a night of passion and, at this moment, you can't hold yourself anymore.
"I've been waiting… waiting since the moment we met…"
"So knives to the throat are flirting to you?"
"... I do recall saying it was a darling of a throat or some such, but- it's a line, it's not- you're not supposed to be really listening-"
"So I'm just supposed to be so distracted by your shirtlessness that you can say anything and I'll fall into your arms?"
"Listen, if I wanted to spend the night talking…"
"Couldn't you even bring a blanket? Give me the address of the person who taught you all this boring shit, and I will put my lute up to his arse! Gods!"
The date night is awkward.
You even don't have sex. You talk.
And you play your lute, singing some of the most offensive and inappropriate songs you know.
Astarion allows himself to relax.
He has never felt so safe with anyone. You can laugh all his fears away!
Vampire lords, tortures, violence. It all sounds … hilarious, not scary.
By the morning, you fall asleep. Astarion puts off his shirt to bathe in the sunlight.
When you wake up, you curse out loud.
"What is the fuck is this on your back??"
He explains and you take your lute to play one of the bard healing spells.
It wouldn't help of course, but you soothe his pain a bit.
You use the spells to cast away nightmares. And you also play music to help him meditate and avoid re-visiting bad memories.
Together, you form a murderous couple. There is nothing worse than a bard and rogue.
And you boost his self-esteem. He is afraid of Cazador, he is scared of him. But you -
You compose the most catchy and offensive songs about him.
They are pretty good, by the way, and some bards, including Volo, add them to their repertoires.
At first, it causes some anxiety to Astarion as if he can be punished for your actions.
But soon his fears start fading.
If it's funny, it's not scary.
Together, you defeat Cazador - and you've polished your vicious mockery!
When Astarion is finally okay with intimacy, you have a wild graveyard date which ends up with you two being arrested for disorderly conduct.
Post-game your destiny is decided. You are a traveling bard, after all.
You travel throughout Swords' Coast - singing songs and robbing your audience.

>﹏<"You and Johnny met in an unfavorable situation, but that did not prevent you from forming a bond of friendship between you, nor did it prevent him from developing an obsession and unhealthy love you time went by."
📷 ▋୨★« ་. 01.- At first I wouldn't believe that he would feel something for you, because usually in the this circumstances in which he met someone his relationship didn't last long, but with you it was different. He would make sure it was and it would last.
📷 ▋୨★« ་. 02.- ¿Intense? Nah, publicly at least not... But when no one was looking he was someone intense and jeaously. He need was to do things discreetly (although it may not seem like it) since position greatly risks he's plans and he relationship with you. He could give up all his fame for you, dedicate time to you… and dedicate himself to taming you so that you would be obedient every time he ordered you what to do.
📷 ▋୨★« ་. 03.- "SFW" Speaking of needs, he needed to mark you as his at any cost ¿you liked that? ¿you not liked that? It doesn't matter, the important thing for him was that you felt the same feeling that he has towards you, in bed he would dominate you and tell you many names pet. He liked to think that the two of you could even participate in an adult movie. Just to show that you are his and how he could make love to you like no one else.
📷 ▋୨★« ་. 04.- now is moment to.. ¿what if...? (This takes place before the last headcanon)
Tumblr media
¿YOU AGREE TO HAVE A DATE WITH JOHNNY?
pov: Johnny proposes that you have a date in which you can become more intimate in their friendship and be able to declare his love for you.
YOU ACCEPTED.
He is very happy. It is perfect for both of us! Finally, you and him will be together forever. Nothing in the world will ever be able to separate them, whoever dares to try will never again see the lights reflected in himself, except in his poor beaten and disfigured body. I would make you someone who depends on him, that without him you feel like you would die and that only he is capable of healing that feeling. He liked to see you be someone submissive, that is sure because you are hi's own now.
─ "You and me, always forever" He exclaimed in a serene tone while his gaze was fixed and dark, he looked at you as if you were the greatest prize he could ever win.
now he would always keep you in his pocket.

FIRST NIGHT OF TOURDUST AT WRIGLEY
im writing down all the stuff that i remember so i dont forget!! obviously the big ones were GINASFS LIVE?? HELLO??? i was very unspoiled for the setlist so every song was a huge shock
tai as openers got a hUGE response. and it was great!!! im thrilled to report that bilvy is still a whore <3 he was playing submission games with mike and sisky the whole set, did snakes on a plane, doing high kicks and draping himself all over his bandmates as god intended
i mean it probably goes without saying but i need to shoutout the set design for this tour. oh my god it was SO beautiful. there were no big screens behind them, instead there was a big round screen mounted over the stage and it would play funky videos during all the songs. one half of the stage was this gorgeous blue wrought-iron looking thing with stars and monsters and a clock. the other side was glowing gold, so it was like a night/day dichotomy
there were big red curtains behind the guys and they would sweep shut for a few songs and when they opened again there'd be a new setpiece behind them. like a physical setpiece!! the first one was an anchor, the second was A MOVING DOGGIE HEAD, the third was a huge tree with owl eyes. they were fucking gorgeous
the pink seashell monologue played w/o any instrumentals before love from the other side kicked in
joe has a new guitar! it's like...green and super detailed, it's seriously so fucking fancy i need hq pictures of that thing stat
joe vocals were SUPER LOUD AND PROMINENT my god it was a blessing
patrick was KILLING it the whole concert. i was floored. fob songs are NOT EASY TO SING esp love from the other side but he was impeccable pretty much the whole night
he did fumble the lyrics to centuries tho dlfdjkjf looked like something was up with his soundboard around that time
they hit us with a triple-punch of chicago is so two years ago, calm before the storm, and then where is your boy, all in a row. patrick talked a little bit before where is your boy to be like "yeah so this was forever ago...i was jogging..." and pete chimes in "imagine us jogging"
patrick also talked a bit before they rolled the piano out. he was like "hi guys!! :)" and talked about how the set design was all pete's idea and it was super fucking fancy and he was floored by it. he said that pete suggested he play piano and then was like "ugh i dunno im not GREAT at that" (you fucking liar) and then that led up to the medley that closed with don't stop believing and the rest of the band joined in and AGHHH
i was not prepared to hear headfirst slide and disloyal order in the same night.
i was not prepared to hear HEAVEN IOWA that night. of all the stardust songs i did NOT EXPECT THAT ONE
for those who were involved in the stardust project, it went off really well the first night! i got my pink seashell and during fake out i looked behind me and the whole stadium was lit up pink! after it was over, pete was like "wow that looked amazing guys" so the band definitely noticed!
pete did the baby annihilation monologue live! he seemed kind of nervous he had his hoodie pulled up and everything but he delivered it very different from the studio version and when it was over he pulled a big black curtain over himself and then disappeared when it fell
save rock and roll live is always a treat but my god when the camera pulled back and i saw that all four members of fall out boy were smiling while they sang OH NOOO WE WON'T GO. my god. my heart.
they did not do a proper encore because they didnt want to tread into curfew, so we did not get a picture with them
OKAY THATS ALL I CAN REMEMBER FOR NOW. ILL ADD TO THIS IF I REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE <3 THIS WAS A STELLAR START THANK YOU FALL OUT BOY I LOVE YOU FALL OUT BOY

Reality (Pt. 3) (Christen Press x Reader)
Tumblr media
A/N: Do I love this? Yes. Did I maybe cry? Also yes. Am I hoping you’ll like this? Definitely yes. Is Alex just a soft little bean in this fic? Maybe.
This is Alternate version 1.
P.S. the playlist for this specific fic was brutal. Sad song after sad song. Had to channel my past for this lmaoo. Had Khalid’s first album on repeat. Specifically 8teen. Because OOF the emotions and memories to that one. Then it was happy songs so it was all over lmao. It was BRUTAL.
Enjoy! (:
“She blocked me again.” You tell Alex as you get into the car. “I’m not so bothered by it anymore but it does sting a little.”
“At least it stings less this time.” Alex says as she closes the car door. “Y/N you really need to stop looking at her page.”
“I just miss her so much.”
“I know Y/N.. I know and I’m sorry. Just take a nap okay? It’ll be a while until we get to your parents house.”
“Thanks again for driving.”
“Not a problem.” Alex says with a smile.
You closed your eyes as Alex began to drive. Remembering one specific Fourth of July.
“Okay let’s go on another ride.” You tell Alex as you pull her hand.
“Can’t we take a break? I’m tired.”
“No. No breaks, you said you’d go on another ride with me and you can’t back out.”
“Ugh. Fine.” Alex says with a sigh. Following right behind you.
You looked back to see if Alex was following you and she was, but as you turned around you bumped into someone. You turned back around and saw the one person you didn’t think you’d see.
“Christen?”
“Y/N?”
“Hey.”
“Hey.” Christen says with a smile. “Alex.”
“Christen.” Alex says with a nod.
“I-um. How have you been?” Christen asks you.
“Good. How have you been? It’s been a while.”
“Good as well. Yeah it’s been a while.”
Two years. It’s been two years since Christen decided she didn’t want to be friends. Ever since she saw you at a game with Alex. The night that changed everything.
“I’m here with my neighbor and my boyfriend. I want you to meet him, he’s really nice.” Christen says.
“Uh yeah I’d love to.”
“Come on.” Christen says grabbing your arm.
She walked through the crowd, your hand in hers and you felt like it was all back to normal. It definitely wasn’t, but for a few seconds it felt like it was.
“Y/N. This is my boyfriend Justin. Justin this is Y/N a friend of mine.” Christen says.
Friend?
“Hi. Nice to meet you.” You say as you extend your hand out and shake hands with her boyfriend.
“Nice to meet you as well.”
“Hey do you want to go on a ride with me?” Christen asks. “Nobody else wants to go on it with me.”
“Sure yeah. Alex doesn’t want to go on with me because she’s tired.” You say looking behind you.
“Look it’s not my fault I get dizzy.” Alex says.
“Come on then.” Christen says with a smile. “Please?”
“Okay. Yeah let’s go.”
You wanted to stay there, to stay in that moment. Forever. Like it was all before.
After waiting five minutes in line you both got on the ride. You sat next to Christen, like you always did. The ride was finally being lifted up as it got ready. Once it begun it was spinning and going upside down and all over.
“AHH.” Christen screamed. “Are you not scared?”
“Nope. I like the adrenaline!” You shout.
“I’m scared!” Christen shouts. “Oh yeah that’s right. You and your darn need of adrenaline!”
You extended your hand out and Christen quickly held onto your hand. You turned your head and saw her closing her eyes.
“I forget you scare so easily.” You shout.
“Oh my god I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
“You’re fine, I got you.”
As the ride began to slow down Christen still held onto your hand.
“I missed you.” Christen shouted as she squeezed your hand, opening her eyes as she turned to face you.
You felt your heart stop and race at the same time. Oh how you longed to hear those words come out of her mouth.
Once the ride stopped you both got off the seats.
“I missed you too.” You tell Christen just before you both walked back to where her boyfriend and where Alex were. Christen smiled at you as she gave your hand one last squeeze.
“Y/N. Y/N wake up we’re here.” You hear Alex say.
“Already?” You mumble as you rub your eyes.
“Yes already. Come on, your parents are waiting for us.”
Both you and Alex grabbed all your luggage from the backseat not wanting to make two trips to the car. Too exhausted to even walk to the door, having had practice that same morning.
“Honey you’re home.” Your mom says as she opens the door for you. “Alex I’m so glad you decided to come.”
“Happy to be be here, thank you for inviting me.” Alex says as she drops the bags on the living room floor. “We’re very tired though.”
“Very.” You say as you hobble towards the couch and lay down. “Very tired.”
“There’s food but I think you’ll want to sleep. Am I right?” Your mother asks you.
“Indeed I do. Alex can you carry me to my room?”
"You can walk." Your mother says making you groan.
"But I'm tired."
"Oh well, get up and walk to your bedroom."
"It's fine really, I do this every once in a while." Alex says.
"Excuse me?"
"Now why would you say that." You say looking up at Alex. "Why? Do you not love me being alive?"
"I- uhh. I never do this, it’s the first time.” Alex says as she picks you up from the couch and walking to your room.
“Are you going to take a nap with me?” You ask as Alex places you down on your bed.
“Maybe. I kind of want to read or just listen to some music.”
“You can do that here.” You say as you scoot over and get under the blankets.
“I could but then you’d end up taking the entire space.”
“Fair.” You say with a shrug. She was right, you often took up all the space, you slept in the most random positions. But it was comfy, or you thought so.
Alex let you take your well needed nap, as if you hadn’t slept on the way to your parents house. She knew you needed more rest. Letting you sleep, she walked back to the living room, grabbing her book and headphones.
You were home for the Fourth of July. A time of year that Alex knew you couldn’t be alone.
It was the one holiday that stringed you deeply. She wasn’t going to leave you alone.
A few blocks down from your home, Christen was also home, visiting her parents home. Along with her boyfriend.
“What’s this?” Justin says as he grabs something from under Christen’s bed. “A box with a binder? What’s in here? It’s full of notes?”
“Give me that.” Christen says, eyes wide as she realizes what box he grabbed. The binder she kept that was filled with all the notes you had given her.
At the beginning of your friendship you were too shy to actually talk to Christen. So you did the best you could and communicated to her with notes. Christen loved each of them, each having a huge significance to her. They held many memories of you both.
“Christen, thank you for being the best friend I could ever have asked for. Turtle.” Justin reads as he skims through all the notes.
“Give me that.” Christen says as she gets up and attempts to grab it from him, but he only pulls away trying to read more.
“There’s one from you, you wrote this one. Y/N this is part four of the notes and I want to start by saying that this part-.” Justin is cut off as Christen snatches the binder from him.
“These are not for you to read.” Christen says with a stern voice.
“What the hell are those notes? Christen. What was that last note?”
“Nothing. They’re nothing.”
Lies.
They were everything. Everything to her. It was what still somewhat connected you both.
“They sure seemed like something.”
“They’re notes. Y/N never actually talked to me when we first started becoming friends, so she wrote me notes. I talked and she wrote notes. We communicated that way.”
“That’s weird.” Justin says with a chuckle.
“No! No it’s not. It’s not weird. She’s shy, she hates talking, she could only show affection and appreciation through notes. It’s not weird it’s-it’s.”
“It’s what? Cute?”
“No, it’s who she is.” Christen says as she looks down at the binder. “She’s shy, she’s always been shy.”
“Seemed to me like she loved you.”
“In a friend way.”
“Definitely not in a friend way.” Justin says as he gets up from the floor. “And you also loved her.”
“Of course I did, as a friend.” Christen says.
Justin shakes his head and scoffs as he makes his way towards the front door.
“You loved her and definitely not in a friend way.”
“What? No I didn’t.”
“I don’t want to be in the middle of whatever you two are. It’s clear you and I aren’t working. I’ve tried to get through it but you and I don’t work. You’re not in this relationship, it’s all one sided. I don’t want that. Especially when you’re in love with an old friend that you haven’t gotten over.”
“What? That’s not true.”
“I’m done. You may not want that but I’m done. Y/N seems to take all the space in your head.” Justin says as he walks out of Christen’s home.
Christen stood in front of the door in shock. Should she run out and try and save her relationship? Definitely. Not?
Instead she did something else, she got into her car and drove to your house.
As Alex was just about to fall asleep she heard a loud knock coming from the front door. Taking her headphones off she looked around and saw no one.
So naturally she walked to the door and opened it. The Y/L/N wouldn’t mind since she was here a lot.
“Christen?” Alex says as she opens the door, realizing who it was.
“Alex? What the hell are you doing here?”
“No, what the hell are YOU doing here?” Alex asks as she walks out and closes the front door.
“I need to talk to Y/N.”
“No. You can’t.”
“This isn’t your house.” Christen says as she tries walking around Alex.
“And it’s not yours either.” Alex says as she gets in Christen’s way. “But I am a regular at the Y/L/N household. And I’m saying you can’t go in the house.”
“Alex I need to talk to her so get out of my way.”
“To tell her what exactly? To maybe apologize and become friends again but also still hate me? Yeah I don’t think so. You’ve put her through enough. You also blocked her again? So no you can’t talk to her. Figure out another way.”
“Alex. Let me in.”
“You want to know something? She never thought she was good enough, but did you have to make it worse?” Alex shouts.
“Let me in I want to talk to her.”
“You treated her like nothing, like she never mattered. But yet she still stuck around, thinking you would change. Thinking you would keep your promise that you would change! She hoped you would change! Change like you promised her!”
“I know what I did! You don’t think I know what I did? You don’t think it’s not in the back of my mind all the fucking time? You don’t know what our friendship was like.” Christen shouts only making Alex more frustrated.
“You ruined her. Shattered her heart into a million pieces. Oh Christen please spare me the I don’t know because I KNOW. Who do you think has been there for her? Certainly not you.”
“Alex. Let me in the house. I need to see her and I need to talk to her.”
“You know the worst of it all? The worst of it all was you taking the wonderful person she was before you.”
“I didn’t mean any of it to happen.”
“Then maybe invent a time machine and think before you do something. But right now I won’t let you talk to her. She’s tired, she needs sleep. We had practice yesterday and this morning then we drove here, she doesn’t need something or someone else draining her energy.”
“Screw your Alex! Why are you even here at her house.”
"I'm here because I was invited by her family. It's the Fourth of July weekend. Should be a holiday for you to remember right? Fourth of July." Alex says as she turns around and walks back towards the house.
Alex goes to open the door but right before she does, she’s shoved by Christen.
"Oh screw you Alex!" Christen shouts.
“No, screw you Christen. For screwing her over and over. She deserves so much more than you.” Alex shouts as she shoves Christen. “Screw you!”
Alex shoves Christen one last time before entering the house. When she enters she sees you, barefoot and sleepy.
"Al? Were you yelling?" You ask as you rub your eyes. "It's late."
"It's eight pm Y/N." Alex says walking towards you.
"Who were you talking to?" You say groggily.
"Just a neighbor." Alex says.
"Oh uhh everything okay? Wait, why are you yelling at one of my neighbors?"
"Loud music from their car, that's all."
"Oh, who?"
"The neighbor from across the street?"
"Oh yeah they usually have loud music but you get used to it, Alex you definitely shouldn't have yelled at them though. They're nice people trust me."
"Noted." Alex says. "Should we go back to your room?"
"Yes. I'm exhausted." You say as you grab another pillow from the couch. "Carry me?"
"No I already did that earlier today. Now come on before we bother your family with the amount of noise we’re making.”
“They’re not asleep Al, they’re just in their room watching tv or reading. Now come on I’m so tired.”
“When aren’t you.”
- - - -
“So I pushed him and he fell in the pool because he was too distracted by three golden retrievers.” Your aunt says, making everyone laugh. Everyone except you.
“Hey you okay?” Alex whispers.
“I feel so empty.” You whisper.
Alex gives you a sympathetic smile as she wraps an arm around you.
“One day you’ll be here again and you’ll feel happy. I promise you that. You’ll find happiness.” Alex whispers and you give her a weak smile.
“Thanks Al.”
“Alex do you have any good stories? I’m sure you have plenty, especially of Y/N. How long have you guys been together?” Your uncle asks and you turn to look at Alex, then back to your uncle.
“We- we’re not dating.” You say then clear your throat. “We’re best friends.”
“Oh my apologies. I thought, or I guess I assumed which was totally my fault.”
“It’s fine really. We’ve dealt with worse.” You say.
“Have we really?” Alex asks and you shrug.
“I don’t know. No?” You say making Alex laugh.
Alex pulls you closer into her, her hand reaching for your hand.
“But I do have good stories.” Alex says.
Alex began telling your family stories of you from being late to your first practice with the Wave to falling from your seat on the plane because you had fallen asleep. It was definitely a bit embarrassing but Alex also gave them embarrassing stories about herself, probably so you wouldn’t kill her.
You laughed through it all, never letting go of Alex’s hand. As she told all those stories you looked at her and something inside you was feeling nervous. Alex turned to look at you at the most embarrassing parts of each story, squeezing your hand and smiling.
Alex looked at you and she smiled, suddenly Alex felt like she was looking at a different you. Smiling and laughing at her telling the stories. She loved to see that side of you. She was feeling something deep inside her that she hadn’t felt in a while. Alex subconsciously shook her head and turned back to finish her stories.
After a long night with your family, you and Alex went back to your room.
Alex went on to shower to get ready for bed. While she did that, you sat on the floor of your bedroom, pulling a box from under your bed. Already haven taken a shower, wanting to be first.
You opened it and there it was, two folded pieces of paper. You grabbed the first one, unfolding it and knowing, it was part one of Christen’s note to you. The fact that it was written in pencil gave it away that it was part one. Part two was written in red pen.
Dear Turtle,
When I first met you, you were so shy. I asked you a semi awkward question but yet you answered anyway. Since then we became best friends. You never really talked to me the first year of our friendship but instead you communicated with me by notes. I liked that. It was adorable…
A whole page. A whole page that she had written for you. That was part 1. You pulled out the second part of the note. Flipping it to the back as you remembered something about it.
Part 3 until Friday. There’s four parts. I love you so so soooooo much.
You remembered it all too well, Friday came but the third part didn’t. Neither did the fourth. It never got to your hands. You had asked Christen when you’d get them but she said another day. That day never came.
“Hey, you okay?” Alex asks. You turn around and see Alex in her tank top, drying her hair with her towel.
“I- uh. Yeah I’m fine just looking at something.” You say turning back around and placing the notes back in the box.
“Are those the notes?” Alex asks.
“Yeah.” You say putting the box back under the bed and standing up. “Ready for bed?”
“Always.” Alex says with a smile. “You?”
“Always.”
You get in the bed and scoot over, making room for Alex. It also helped that your parents bought you a bigger mattress.
“You look good for going to bed.” Alex says and you laugh.
“Your hair looks good.”
“Thank you. I’m trying out a new shampoo.” Alex says and you smile.
“You smell better than this morning that’s for sure.”
“You weren’t complaining earlier.”
“Yeah well you were driving for me, I didn’t want to risk you making me drive.” You say. Alex let out a gasp as she smacked your arm.
“Oh how sneaky.” Alex says with a stare making you giggle.
“Goodnight stinky.”
“Goodnight Y/N.”
“Wait, can you put your playlist? It helps me fall asleep.”
“I can do that. I see you’ve become a fan of my playlist.” Alex says with a grin.
“Well seeing as you’ve subconsciously made me a fan of your favorite artist over the years, how can I not?”
“Hey now, be real, you loved it the moment I showed you my favorite song.”
“Goodnight stinky.” You say as you face away from Alex. Closing your eyes and relaxing as soon as you hear Alex play her playlist.
You remembered the day she showed you her favorite artist.
“Are you a fan of Taylor Swift?” Alex asks as you both run to the car. Rain pouring down as you got out of practice.
“Haven’t listened to her music so can’t say I’m not.” You say as you open the door to the car.
“This new album, Speak Now is phenomal. Let me play you my favorite song right now and it’ll make you a fan trust me.”
“I trust you.”
You both get into the car and Alex quickly puts skips the tracks on the cd to the one she wanted.
“This song is called Sparks Fly. Definitely one of my favorites so far.” Alex says as the song begins.
You may have enjoyed it a little bit but you wouldn’t dare say that to Alex. That was her favorite song. Personally you thought Fearless was good too, you wouldn’t tell Alex that either. Both were great.
The following morning you were woken up by your phone buzzing. The time alone made you groan, five am. You reached for your phone and saw the name you hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Tyler?” You say groggily. “Is everything okay?”
“Hey, it’s Christen.”
The voice alone made you wake up.
“Before you hang up, do you think you could come outside? I know it’s early but I’d like to talk to you, before our next camp and preferably.”
You turned around and saw Alex still sleeping.
“Give me five minutes.”
You were quick to change and walked outside, Christen was right in front of you. Standing in front of your home.
���Hey.”
“It’s pretty early.” You say with a yawn.
“I know and I apologize but I’ve been wanting to talk to you.” Christen says, hands in the pockets of her sweatshirt.
“Well here I am.”
You both began walking down the block, the sound of birds chirping filling the silence between you both.
“Justin and I broke up.” Christen says and you turn to face her.
“Oh? I’m sorry.”
“We weren’t made for each other. It was bound to happen really.” Christen says and you hum.
“Is that what you were going to tell me?” You ask facing Christen.
“I wanted to apologize to you. I’m sorry I didn’t apologize sooner. You deserved an apology a long time ago, so I know this apology is overdue. But I’m truly truly sorry, you didn’t deserve what I put you through.”
“I accept your apology.”
“Really?”
“What shocks you? That I accept your apology? Christen I’ve never stopped caring about you, your apology to me gives me some type of peace. I wouldn’t say closure but peace because losing you was the toughest thing for me and an apology from you is what I think I needed. So thank you for apologizing.”
“Long overdue.” Christen says and you look down at the pavement. “I don’t expect us to be friends again but I’ll always care about you. But I’d like to maybe try and be friends again?”
“Give me some time?” You ask Christen.
“Of course.”
You nod as you both turned back into your street.
“Thank you for coming out and listening to me.”
“I think we both needed it.” You say and Christen nods.
“Well here we are.” Christen says as you both stop right in front of your home. “Thank you.”
“Thank you.” You say as you turn to look at her.
Oh the awkwardness, you remembered it all too well. It was if it were middle school all over again. You never knew what to do.
“Have a good day.” You say as you rock back and forth on your heels.
“Have a good day turtle.” Christen says with a smile.
You smiled softly at her as you turned around and walked into your house.
You let out a loud sigh as you closed the door. Resting your back against the door as you closed your eyes.
“Good morning?”
You were startled, immediately opening your eyes and seeing Alex across from you.
“Geez you scared me.”
“Are you okay?” Alex asks as she walks towards you. “I woke up and you weren’t in bed.”
“I went out for a walk.”
“Are you okay?” Alex asks again.
“I went on a walk with Christen.” You say walking away from Alex.
“And are you okay?” Alex asks as she catches up to you.
“She apologized.”
“Really?” Alex asks, her tone sounding confused.
“Really.”
“Y/N.”
“I know what you’re going to say Al but she called me and wanted to talk to me and I just kind of wanted to see her.” You say turning to face Alex. “It gave me some peace. Maybe I can finally move on Al.”
Alex tilted her head slightly, she took one step towards you and hugged you.
“I’m happy for you Y/N.” Alex whispers as she hugged you tight.
Wrapping your arms around Alex you felt safe in her arms. The warmth she gave you and the feeling of being safe was nice and it was something you hadn’t felt in so long.
As she hugged you, Alex felt happy for you. She was happy you had finally gotten an apology. Resting her chin on top of your head, she rubbed your back and didn’t let you go.
“Peace.” You mumble against Alex.
You weren’t even sure if you were talking about Christen apologizing or being in Alex’s arms. What you were sure of was having some sort of peace.
For the Fourth of July, you and Alex spent it watching movies and fireworks. Munching on snacks you both loved.
“You and me.” Alex says as you watched the fireworks.
“You and me.” You say back as you leaned back into Alex, she was quick to wrap her arms around you the second you leaned back into her.
Your family all gathered around watching the fireworks. Telling more stories and making s’mores.
Peace?
“Smile.” Your uncle says as he grabs his camera and takes a picture of you and Alex.
- - - -
A month later you both headed to national team camp.
You hadn’t talked to Christen since the morning she apologized. You and Alex were also a little closer than usual, something was definitely changing but neither of you knew what.
“You look different.” Megan says as you and Alex walk into the hotel.
“Different good or different bad?” You ask Megan.
“I can’t tell, but different.” Megan says as she raises an eyebrow. Trying to examine your face you looked at her weirdly.
“You’re being weird. If you couldn’t tell I’m happy, or at least in peace.”
“Ah yeah that would do it, that’s different.” Megan says nodding her head and walking away.
You looked at Alex, who was already looking at you.
“You look good.” You tell Alex as you both walk to the elevators.
“Me? In sweats? Please. You look good yourself.” Alex says and you smile.
“In sweats? Please.” You say back making Alex laugh.
“You guys left us!” Naomi shouts.
“Oh yeah we definitely did and weren’t supposed to.” You whisper to Alex. “Sorry! Come on you two.”
“When we go back to San Diego can you make more of that pasta you made?” Naomi asks.
“Of course.” Alex says.
“Umm..”
“We were taking to Y/N.” Taylor says making you laugh.
“It wasn’t bad.” Alex says.
“It wasn’t good either Al.” You say earning a scoff from Alex. “What? Come on I told you not to give it to them.”
“So is that a yes?” Naomi asks.
“I’ll make more don’t worry.”
“You know, you three are absolutely rude.” Alex says walking into the elevator. “My food is delicious.”
“You gotta love us though.” You say as you grab Naomi and Taylor. All three of you smiling.
“I suppose.”
The following day having a day off to get rest and get rid of the absolute terrible case of jet lag. You spent it with Alex as usual.
“Oh sunny day, sunny day.” Alex says as you both walk out the hotel.
“It’s cloudy.”
“Not when you’re around.” Alex says making you smile.
“You’re so corny.”
“Oh but you love me.”
“I suppose.” You say rolling your eyes sarcastically.
You headed to nearby stores, shopping and looking at what you wish you could buy but definitely couldn’t.
As the day went by the sky was slowly being filled with grey clouds. It was smart of you to bring a jacket with you. Walking to the last store before going back to the hotel, you bumped into some of the other girls.
“Wow you guys finally appear.” Megan says.
“We grabbed pretzels, they were pretty good.” You say with a nod.
“We bought Gucci.” Megan says, Rose looks at Megan weirdly as she speaks up.
“No we didn’t.” Rose says. “We bought stuff for Wilma and also found a cool shirt at a local store.”
“You better show me what you bought when we get back to the hotel.”
“Only if you show me what Alex bought you.” Rose says.
“Alex didn’t buy me anything.” You say. Rose looks at you then looks at Alex.
“I bought her stuff yes.” Alex says nodding.
“I knew it.” Rose says. “Ugh next time I’m going with you guys, Megan didn’t buy me anything.”
“I bought you candy.”
“Yeah for twenty five cents on those candy machines.” Rose says making you laugh.
“We’re heading back now, we’ll see you guys later.” You say, leaving Rose and Megan to argue with each other.
“Twenty five cents. She’s so cheap.” Alex says.
“You bought me lemonade for thirteen cents once Al.”
“It was from a lemonade stand.”
“Alex it was your niece’s lemonade stand”
“She didn’t accept card.” Alex says and you shove her.
Ten minutes into your walk back to the hotel it began to rain. Alex grabbed your hand as she pulled you aside, standing below a small space where you couldn’t get soaked in the rain.
“I love the rain.” You smiled as you watched it rain.
“So do I.” Alex says as she pulled you close to her.
Standing below what kept you both dry, Alex ran her fingers through your hair. Your head against her chest and you could hear her heartbeat.
You both always loved the rain.
Alex looked at you as you looked at the street where it was pouring. And maybe it was the way your hair had gotten a bit soaked or the way your eyes lit up as it began to rain. But she hoped you couldn’t see what she was seeing.
You looked at Alex and smiled, Alex smiled back and it was as if someone had flipped a switch, but the way you felt in Alex’s arms made you feel something you hadn’t felt in so long.
The way you felt in Alex’s embrace, made Alex heart melt, it made her feel things she never thought of when she saw you.
As Alex looked at you all your worries left, you knew it right then and there, a new and old feeling you hadn’t felt for someone in so long seemed to appear again.
While Alex looked at you, her heart began to beat in a different way, her eyes began to shine in a way she’d never thought would happen.
It was like you both knew, looking at each other for a few more long seconds you both smiled at one another.
Alex grabbed your stuff and placed it on the dry ground. You looked at her confused.
“What are you doing?” You ask and before she answers she pulls you into the rain.
“Doing something I think we should’ve done a while ago.” Alex says as she cups your face with her hands.
Alex smiles, and you’re still a bit confused but you kind of knew maybe what she was going at.
“And what’s that exactly?” You ask.
“This.”
Alex rubs her thumb on your cheek before she leans in to kiss you. Connecting her lips against yours, you reciprocated, closing your eyes as you placed your hands on her hips.
Happiness. Peace. Happy. Peace.
It almost felt like a movie, a fairytale even.
Kissing in the rain on the sidewalk.
You both pulled away, eyes still closed as your foreheads rested against one another. Alex smiled as she leaned in for another kiss. Neither of you wanting to open your eyes just yet. But when you both finally did, there it was. Sparks.
You hummed as Alex bumped her nose against yours.
“That was also long overdue.” Alex says.
“I agree.” You say.
It was as if someone had attached a string to both your hearts. The string being pulled and having your hearts connect.
Across the street from where you were Rose, Megan and Emily were passing by, noticing what had happened, watching it all unfold. Cheering and clapping.
Both you and Alex turned to look who was cheering, as soon as you had seen who it was you were quick to try and hide.
“Thank god.” Megan says as she walks up to you and Alex.
“Finally. I’m actually so happy for you guys, like otp for sure.” Rose says with a smile.
“Is this why you were so happy? How long has this been going on for?” Meg asks.
“I was happy for other reasons.” You say.
“Be real.”
“We’ve been figuring it out.” Alex says. “I think we just did.”
“We did.” You say with a smile.
“That’s honestly like kind of cute? But you didn’t hear me say that.” Emily says.
What none of you knew was that Christen watched it all unfold as well.
You all walked back to the hotel together, talking about really anything but what had just happened. Your hand intertwined with Alex’s. It all felt so nice.
As you walked into the hotel, your clothes sort of dry from the walk. You headed towards the elevator and up to the fifth floor. As you all walked out the elevator you headed to yours and Becky’s room.
“This was your plan all along.” Christen says as she looks at Alex as she passed through.
“Excuse me?” Alex asks as she turns around.
“Wait what?” You ask, you stumble back startled at the accusation Christen was saying. But also absolutely confused on what she meant.
“I didn’t like you from the moment I knew you were friends with Y/N.”
“And why’s that?” Alex says as she steps closer to Christen. “Enlighten us and tell us why that is.”
"Alex don't." You whisper as you put your hand on Alex's chest, trying to push her back.
“Does that really matter?”
“No but enlighten us. Do you think this..” Alex says motioning to you and her. “Happened because I planned it? No. I didn’t plan it. It just happened!”
“You’ve been after her since the moment you met her. I saw it in your eyes.”
“My eyes? Wow. Christen go look in the fucking mirror and look at yourself. You were in love with her, but you’re so stupid you never admitted it to her and definitely not yourself."
"Alex please, come on this isn't worth it." You say as you look at Alex. "Please."
"That's not true!" Christen shouts.
"I haven't said anything all this time but I know way more about you than you think I do. Word spreads Christen." Alex says. "I didn't plan this, we didn't plan this. You think Y/N planned to fall in love with me? No, it just happened over time."
"It was your plan all along and I know it." Christen shouts as she gets even closer.
"Yeah? Prove it then? You just keep using her, you always have, she's your safety. It's the only stability you've had in your life, but it's time for her to move on from your toxic self.”
Although Christen had apologized, you didn’t recognize who was in front of you. That wasn’t the Christen you knew. But you also didn’t know who she was anymore after spending so many years apart.
So many things flashed through your head, conversations and memories. But specifically one conversation, a conversation she didn’t know about.
"You didn't hear this from me but despite what Christen has told you, I wanted you to know because you deserve something. She didn't want you to know this, but she likes a girl, if that's anything to you."
“You liked a girl.” You say softly.
“What?” Christen asks, snapping her head to look at you.
“In middle school, you liked a girl, a friend of ours.” You say, trying to keep your composure.
“What? Where did you hear that? Who told you that?”
“A friend of ours told me, they told me that you didn’t want me to know but you liked a girl. That I deserved some truth, you liked a girl and you didn’t want me to know.”
“Y/N-.”
“I was always telling you my truth, always. But I swore I’d never say anything to you about it.”
“It’s not that I didn’t want you to know.” Christen says.
“But you didn’t want me to know, our friend told me because she said I deserved to know some truth. I needed some closure, because you weren't giving me that. They found me and told me, a secret that I swore I'd never tell anyone and I never did."
"I just didn't want to hurt you."
"Because I liked you? I knew that, even then why couldn't you trust me that I'd be happy for you for being with someone you love." You say as you stand in front of Alex.
"Coward." Alex says.
“Alex.” You say as you turn to give her a glare. “Christen. You never trusted me. Ever. I don’t know why and maybe I’ll never know. What I do know is that as much as I want closure from you, from us and our friendship. I don’t think I want it anymore. Your apology gave me the closest thing I’ll get from closure from you. I want to move on and I have and I will.”
“With Alex?” Christen says with a scoff.
“You never even liked Alex, she has never done anything to you. But you despise her and I don’t even understand why. Alex has nothing to do with you and I not being friends anymore.”
“She has everything to do with it! She took you away from me.” Christen shouts.
“That’s not true.” You shout. “I always wondered why you were so angry when you saw me with Alex but now I don’t even want to know because that won’t change anything. You never trusted me. At least she’s trusted me this entire time.”
“I trusted you.”
“No Christen you didn’t. You never did and I tried so hard to think you did but you never did.”
“Y/N.”
“I hated that you weren’t at my college graduation. I also hated that I wasn’t at yours. Just seeing pictures of you with your cap and gown from your family’s posts. It gutted me. Because all I ever wanted was to support you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I know you are, but I’m tired Chris. I’m tired.”
You sighed as you looked at Christen. Alex squeezed your arm softly, turning around you saw her nodding and then looking at Christen.
“Do you remember the notes you gave me in eigth grade?”
“Yes.”
“Do you remember I’d give you notes as well.”
“How could I forget. It was the only way you’d talk to me the first year of our friendship. You were so shy. It was how you communicated with me. I kept them all in a binder. It’s still under my bed.” Christen says.
“You gave me two. Your second one said there were four. I never got them and I still wonder what they said. But I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’ll never know and maybe you never wanted me to know. But I loved you for so long, I can’t live like this anymore. I care about you, I always will but I’m done. I’m happy now, I have peace. Alex had nothing to do with us not being friends anymore.”
You grabbed Alex’s hand and walked to your room, leaving a shocked Christen in the middle of the hallway.
“Are you okay?” You ask Alex as soon as you close the door to your room.
“I’m fine, are you okay?”
“I’m- I’m good.” You say as you breathe out. “I’m sorry she reacted that way.”
“That’s not your fault and you shouldn’t be apologizing for her. She’s responsible for her own actions. It’s not your fault Y/N.” Alex says as she places her hand on your cheek. You leaned into her touch and smiled.
“Thank you.” You turned your head just enough to kiss the inside of her hand. Alex smiled back at you, looking at you with such adoration.
You felt happy, felt at peace. Felt loved.
- - - -
“Close your eyes.” Alex says as she gets out of the car, running to the other side as she opens the door for you.
“You’re not going to kill me right? I didn’t mean it when I said to throw away your terrible terrible food. It was delicious.” You say and you hear Alex laugh.
“Can you just trust me?”
“I trust you I just don’t know what’s going to happen.” You say as you get out of the car.
“Open your eyes.” Alex says and you open your eyes.
Eyes widening as you see all around you, hundreds of floating lanterns being lit up by many people.
“I know the Fourth of July was something that meant a lot to you and that it probably won’t ever mean the same, so I wanted to bring you here. Have a little something of our own. Our Fourth of July but like two months later. Our own day to remember.”
“I love it.”
“Really?” Alex asks and you smile.
“Yes really. It’s lovely.”
“Well.” Alex says as she grabs the floating lantern. Turning it around to so you could see what she had written on it. “Will you be my girlfriend?”
You grinned as you leaped into her.
“Yes.” You say as you wrap your arms around her.
“Oh thank god I was starting to get worried.” Alex says making you laugh.
The sun went down and you released your lantern.
A new beginning with someone you love so much.
You both sat on the ground, looking at the sky as you watched all the floating lanterns. You had never felt so much happiness and love.
As much as you loved Christen, it just never seemed to go back to the way it was.
At every family event, Alex was now officially part of the family. You laughed and shared stories. You no longer felt empty but rather felt peace and joy.
You were kissing Alex every chance you could get, you were a brand new person. The kisses shared at family events as everyone told stories. Fourth of July was no longer so painful.
You healed.
Alex showed you what being loved was and felt like, and how to be treated as a friend but also as a partner. She wasn’t bothered by your constant need of assurance because she knew you always needed to be told every once in a while. She didn’t mind, in fact she loved telling you that she loved you.
“I love you.” Alex says as she wraps her arms around you.
“I love you. It’s you and me.”
“That’s my whole world.”
Three years later you would both come back, except that time Alex would get on one knee asking you to marry her. You obviously said yes because how could you not marry your best friend and lover.
Facing reality was no longer scary, it was exciting.
With the right person you knew facing reality would be an adventure. Alex was your reality and you were hers. You just didn’t know it. But she was reality. And she didn’t know but you were her reality. You were ready to be with Alex forever and face reality together.
This was reality and you were finally happy facing reality.

I can't get over how not a single person has voted for Ivy as their favorite rger; it's very funny, but also a LITTLE sad cause I personally would love to know more about her, as right now we have. Nothing. Her being Fabian's foil could imply that she has some kind of rich family, but absent parents, but she didn't seem to show any sign of being posh like Fabian is/was, she was just... mean. Same goes for Mary Ann in terms of knowing nothing about her, especially not how she contrasts to Gorgug. I really hope we get more information! Do you have any guesses?
Yes it's so funny 😭😭😭😭but also understandable unfortunately lmaooo. She's the Rat Grinder we objectively know the LEAST about, she's had maybe like what, one and a half scenes? We know she's besties with Oisin, and that type of dynamic within the larger group of the Rat Grinders is VERY interesting to me, but other than that??? Nothing. I DO hope we learn more though ghfsfks just because right now there's not a lot to dig into!
As for the second part of your question, oh god WILD speculation time only tenuously based in canon under the cut lets gooooo:
I think the basis for the Rat Grinders status as the Bad Kids' foils is that they have what the Bad Kids want, but have superficial beef with the Bad Kids based on the version of them they have in their head. So you got Kipperlilly who wants Riz's tragic backstory despite her allegedly normal and whole family at home. Oisin is rich thanks to his family while Adaine struggles with money thanks to hers, and maybe seems to have beef with the Elven Oracle as that's what led to Kalvaxus' defeat. Ruben has the song of the summer just as Fig is in the middle of an artist's block. Etc, etc.
So going off of that, what does Fabian want more than anything else this season? To not be lonely. I think it'd make sense then if Ivy actually had a really present, loving(?) family who nonetheless still turned out kind of mean. I think she has no problem living up to her family's expectations, no matter what they are. As for the family itself, well the Gloom Stalker subclass is "at home in the darkest places i.e. in primeval forests". And what's the nearest dark forest with a population of wood elves? Sylvaire, formerly the Forest of the Nightmare King. Specifically Arborly, since that's the town near there that protects the entrance to the forest. I think Ivy is possibly how the Rat Grinders got the Nightmare King connection in the whole reviving a dead god thing. Of course, this is all WILD speculation.
As for Mary Ann, what does Gorgug want? This is a bit less clear as his arc developed over the course of the season, but I'd say he wants a stronger connection to his artificing (and by proxy, his gnomish parents), he wants a balance between that and barbarian and a healthy relationship to his rage, and I think part of what ticks him off so much about Mary Ann is just how uncaring she seems, that she can seem so unengaged about things and still be such a great barbarian while he has to CONSTANTLY balance and filter his emotions and focus to succeed in his two classes. So I think it's possible Mary Ann was also adopted by a different species, but this time by barbarians so there was never any struggle on her part to relate to the classes of her parents. Her parents just Got rage immediately, she grew up with an innate understanding of it and is able to perfectly modulate it despite seeming so monotone outside it. And I think it'd be very funny if specifically Mary Ann, and only Mary Ann, has no outward beef with the Bad Kids and is actually kind of ok with Gorgug lmao.
I can't WAIT for all of this to get Jossed by the end of the season lmaoooooooooooo.

Halloween party shenanigans
Tumblr media
Pairings: Early 2000s!Tommy Lee x Fem!reader
Warnings: drinking, drunk reader and her shenanigans,Tommy punches a guy for hitting on you cause I think it’s hot, age gap, reader has an Elvis obsession because yes.
Summary: you go to a Halloween party with your boyfriend
You’re dressed as none other than Priscilla Presley this year because your obsession with Elvis is ever growing and your love for his wife was growing too. You love her hair especially. So you have a black wig with the giant beehive. You’re wearing a shorter version of her wedding dress with a veil on top of your head. Her iconic makeup adorning your face.
You walked down the tile stairs to the foyer where your boyfriend was waiting. He was dressed as spiderman, ever the kid at heart. Especially after the new Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire came out.
The drummer heard your heels clacking and looked up to see you walking gracefully down the stairs. “Holy fuck, babe. You look beautiful.” Tommy had nothing but love and adoration in his eyes.
You giggled, “Thank you. You don’t look to bad yourself.”
“Yeah well, I definitely don’t look as sexy as you holy shit.” He held his arms open for you and you walked into them after reaching the floor, the two of you in an embrace.
The moment was interrupted by his cellphone buzzing. “Ugh, it’s probably Nikki saying ‘where the fuck are you?’ He can’t stop being an asshole outside of work. So fucking glad I left motley.”
“Oh but you love him.” You gave him a teasing smile.
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go before he personally shows up to our house.”
The two of you made it to the party which was being hosted at none other than Saul Hudson’s house or as most people know him, Slash.
You’re pretty good friends with him since you produced a couple of his songs. Yep, you’re a music producer and damn good one at that.
Making your way through the crowd you greeted the man himself, who was dressed as a vampire but still adorned his iconic top hat.
“Slash!” You cheered with open arms. The two of you had a brief hug because someone is a little territorial. You love him for that though.
“Y/n!” He exclaimed back with a wide smile before exchanging a brotherly handshake with Tommy. “You make a great Priscilla.” Slash commented.
“Thanks. See I wanted this one to go as Elvis but as soon as he saw Spider-Man he was dead set on his costume.” You pointed you thumb to the drummer.
“Hey, in my defense it was much easier to get a Spider-Man costume than an Elvis costume.” You playfully rolled your eyes at that, “Whatever. Come on let’s go find everyone else.”
When the two of you spotted nikki who was comedically dressed as Michael Meyers, freaking you out just a little bit until he took the mask off when he realized it was making you feel uneasy.
“Sorry sweetheart, didn’t mean to scare you.” The bassist apologized and you smiled with a shake of your head. “It’s fine, I’m just a not a slasher person.”
The terror twins continued to have a conversation when you were distracted by one of your friends, Holly Madison. You quickly told Tommy you’d be right back as you rushed over to her.
She was dressed as tinker bell looking beautiful as always. “Holly!!” You exclaimed and her face lit up when she saw you. The two of you hugged tightly before letting go. “Oh my god you look beautiful.” The two of you said at the same time looking at each other’s outfits.
“Ok I’ve been waiting for you to show up so we can get drunk!” The blonde cheered and you laughed with a nod.
Four drinks later you were already drunk. Dancing on the counter top, Tommy watching you carefully to make sure you didn’t get hurt. When you got down with the help of some random guy who you didn’t know would cause you trouble in just a few moments, you tripped and almost fell when you were caught by him.
“Whoa, careful babe.” He chuckled and you immediately pulled his hand off of you. “Thanks for helping me.” You said.
He waved you off, “It was no problem. Hey, you’re that music producer. You produced for my band once.” You don’t even know this guy. “I did?”
“Yeah. Always thought you were pretty. You wanna go out someti-“ he was cut off by a punch being thrown at him, knocking him to the floor. Your boyfriend stood over him, anger in his eyes.
“Stay the fuck away from my woman. Got that?”
The man nodded and hissed in pain.
“Oh my god Tommy! You can’t totally do that!” You we’re slurring your words and he knew you were very drunk. “Come on, let’s get you home.” The brunette whispered.
“Noooo I wanna stay right here.” You made a show of stomping your foot on the ground with your arms crossed. Tommy wrapped an arm around your waist, “No, you’ve had enough partying tonight. Cmon baby.” And with a huff, you let him take you home.

I saw "suggestion for cove" i ran here asap. So hear me out hear me out.... In game you only hear about mc and Cove going to school between the steps so i would love to see if you have any headcanon about the two of them hanging school life ( from step 1 age to step 3, you choose what age )
— cove school life hcs
thank you. Thank You. i miss him. like i could just replay the game he's Right There but I Miss Him. i'm saur sorry if any of this doesn't match canon I haven't played in so long. also sorry if my experience doesn't match urs. um. i tried to pick universal experiences
the both of you stay up the night schedules come out to make sure you have classes together. there's quiet celebrations when you match up and groans where you don't
you share anything and everything that happened during your time apart on your way home ! cove has never had your math teacher in his life but from the sheer amount of stories you've shared he hopes he never sets foot in that class
BOOK FAIRS! if you really wanted something he'd offer to help pay for it. he might have gotten one of the cool pens or eraser or something
you're always field trip buddies. you sit on the bus together, you walk around together, it is simply law!
oh my god assemblies where the teachers got seats and the kids didn't. he turns to you and whispers about how unfair it is every year. you agree obviously
THE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PLAYS ☹️ thinking about little cove singing. help. the songs get stuck in your head after music class so they get stuck in His and
little school valentine's where the both of you get each other the cards/candies they sell. platonic or not—personally i love doing it w friends
god. you know he's going to bee line towards you during group projects. why wouldn't he! he knows how you work, you know how he works, it's perfect like It's Perfect
doodle on his notebook doodle on his notebook do
there's a page where the both of you talk in the back of your notes that's a complete mess but it's lovely
asks you for help on what to say during introductions/ice breaker activities. what he says changes over time of course but he's been using the same base for years atp
school dances might be a bit hectic for him but if you wanted to go he'd definitely try his best . just give him some time and don't pull him into the middle of it all please
depends on if cove was athletic or studious but um. cove protecting you during dodgeball! let's think about this (said by girl who despised every version of dodgeball.)
you know he loved the swimming unit for p.e. like he'd actually be excited to come to school
the Dance unit. every time he'd switch over to being your partner you could see him relax
would Absolutely do the thing where you stand in line in a way so you get put on the same teams. every time the teacher would pull a quick one and you'd be on different teams he'd either sneak onto yours or be very upset.
if the class had an assigned seating chart he'd be very tense walking in before seeing the board. he denies it but you're either going to see him pout or grin at the results so
i don't know how they got to school but If it was a vehicle,, car or bus,, just imagining you dozing off and cove scooting over so you can rest your head on his shoulder ☹️
(the first time he saw you rest against the window he started panicking because of how bumpy the road was and now it's stuck in his mind forever)
walking is still quite lovely though. holding hands on the way to school...please.
you and cove will always wait for each other any day you finish earlier than the other
if you ever forgot your lunch cove is immediately splitting his in half
he'd help you study for your classes even if he wasn't taking them. hand him a quizlet/flashcards/your study guide and you're all set!!
y'know how they'd force you to go outside for recess even if it was cold as shit. i feel like cove tried to hide in the washroom at least Once. he could probably get away with it a few times before getting caught
i think it's up to you what it is but like, having something you do after exams to celebrate and relax. i'm not saying cove uses this as motivation but you know.
and if you ever did particularly bad on one cove would be upset with you because ?? he knows how hard you tried and just wants to cheer you up. always reminds you that you did your best and there's always next time.
gives you a Look when you tell him you stayed up or weren't taking care of yourself. will do everything in his power to help you
depending on what clubs you joined, he'd try to tag along. especially if it was a more chill one and not like, a dance club (😔)
^ though if you were in any kind of performance cove would make sure he could come. smiles to himself when you get on stage like Ok That's Awesome For Me
in my mind if you're dating,, you are The prom couple. even if you aren't voted in, it doesn't take a lot to notice the sea green haired boy and his s/o who he has a soft spot for. come on. there's at least 2 friend groups discussing how you'd win (i have no idea how prom works btw)
you know at the end of elementary + jr. high + high school there'd be those parties or graduation. people, fairly, get upset about leaving their friends. but cove without fail looks at you and is always always grateful for the fact he knows he won't lose you
i don't know the last time i used this taglist If Ever. pls tell me if ur not supposed to be on it omg. | @lordbugs @xfangirl-trashx @fifteenshadesofpinkk @lotus-sukimono @bakugosgrenade @vhenis

omg i’ve had the biggest brainrot over ur naomi & taylor!reader & rewatching the eras tour i have 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ thoughts
i can imagine reader! having a chat w naomi when they’re ready to make it official and actually tell everyone they’re together (god knows everyone’s figured it out but shh let them have their moment) & reader! asks if they can make it official during the show but doesn’t tell Naomi how,, they’re just like trust me it’ll be good and naomi is like ok !! anything for u !! & during karma reader! sings “karma is my baby on the screen, coming straight home to me!” & they somehow get naomi’s live reaction on the big screen megatron thing of reader fully making it official to everyone mid show and they’re just in AWE
& in the same show when reader! sings “you’re in love” they do a lil speech about how this song was written for someone else completely and after everything that went down, they hated this songs because it brought back so many bad memories (or something) but now they have someone who makes them feel like this song is the reason for existence again and it just cuts to lil naomi sobbing aAAA i truly love that fic so much i still have so many thoughts about it thank u thank u thank u
Tumblr media
⊹ ‧₊˚ ౨ৎ you are in love
pairing : naomi mcpherson x popstar!reader
a/n : ANON I LOVE YOUR BRAIN KISS KISS
Tumblr media
at this point during your eras tour, the two of you are already together. you think you’re all sneaky but literally everyone knows… naomi looks at you like you gave them the moon so it’s quite obvious, but everyone lets you two have your fun!
the first people you told were obviously katie and jo. they both had fake surprised looks on their faces but said the two of you deserved to be happy. then ensue the countless jokes and comments from jo.
the boys were thrilled too! since phoebe had also opened for you, she had taken a guess that you two had a thing for each other and then her suspicions were confirmed. julien fist pumped naomi and lucy gave you a big hug!! you guys are adorable fr.
next came telling the world about the relationship. you two held off for a few months, wanting privacy, but it seemed twitter was already aware of it. everyone had their theories and some were so outrageous that you just wanted to tell everyone yourself.
you told naomi your feelings on the matter and they immediately agreed, no questions asked. they were ready to show you off and not have to hide. you suggested doing it during your next show, and like anon said, naomi is just like “whatever my princess wants, she gets!!! anything for her!!”
you quickly put your plan into motion. you decided your surprise song for the next show would be “you are in love” from 1989. it perfectly described how you felt about naomi. you came up with some ideas for the speech you would give before hand and it went something like this…
“the next song that i’m going to play is one that i haven’t performed in so long. i wrote it about someone who i thought was going to be my forever, but it just didn’t end up that way and it left me with some sad memories. i have never felt the need to play this song since then, but now everything has changed. even if i originally wrote this about someone else, my partner renewed it into something so pure and now has a reason to exist again. i love you.”
the camera doesn’t pan to naomi just yet, since you wanted to build suspense. for dramatic effect, of course. but jo and katie make sure to get their reaction on video. it’s just naomi basically happy crying and laughing with tears under their eyes. even when you guys are a whole stadium apart, the invisible string between you is there.
when it was finally time for the last era of songs, from midnights, you were planning to do a lyric swap in “karma.” the actual lyric was “karma is my girlfriend,” but obviously naomi was not a girl and the song originally wasn’t written about them, you planned to change it to something that made you happier. when the time came to sing “karma,” you looked right into the vip section where naomi was and sang “karma is my baby on the screen, coming straight home to me!” cut to the camera panning to naomi and they’re just giddy, laughing and crying all at the same time. when you told them you were going to make it official, this is definitely not how they imagined it, but they weren’t complaining.
you just wanted to show the world your love for them and honestly didn’t give a shit what anyone thought. the two of you just existed in your own little bubble, feeling like you were just singing to them.
after the show was over and naomi practically sprinted backstage, their beaming smile lit up the room as they saw you. they pulled you in for a fierce hug and pressed gentle kisses to your forehead.
“that was the sweetest thing in the entire world, baby. i love you so much.”
“so you liked it? it wasn’t too much?”
“never. that was, like, magical. can’t believe you did all that for me.”
“i’d do anything for you, nom.”

𝐀 𝐓𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄. | ANEMO
Tumblr media
❝𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬, 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?❞
SUMMARY. a token between two lovers; just a special something that only the two of you know.
CHARACTERS. xiao, venti, kazuha, aether.
GENRE. fluff, slight angst (implied), established relationship.
CW. none.
THOUGHTS. i told myself not to go overboard but here we are. this was hazily written at 2 am but i might turn it into a series? nevertheless, enjoy! <3
QUICK LINKS. click to read: geo version.
✰ masterlist.
─ ⊹ ⊱ ・・・・・・☆・・・・・・・⊰ ⊹ ─
XIAO. A locket with a picture of you inside, a reminder dangling from his neck. The Adepti has no need for grandiosity, Xiao stated when you presented him a locket in your hands. But he is never able to resist you for long, is he? Whether in the early mornings where Xiao rests atop the roof of Wangshuu Inn or in the quietness of the night where he brandishes his spear against the remains of gods, the locket taps against his chest with every single step he takes. And each time it does, Xiao is reminded that he is alone no longer, for you are by his side.
VENTI. A song about the two of you, a story told until the end of time. Ah, the bard is singing a tale of two lovebirds; that is mostly what listeners at the tavern can perceive in their drunken state — but who would've thought the song was about the Anemo Archon and his lover? Humans may tire of listening to the same song but soon, this tale will be passed down through generations and generations. Like dandelions blown into the wind, carrying its legacy to new and faraway lands... "Even time shall not erode the story of us," Venti chuckles heartily as he raises a toast to you, his beloved.
KAZUHA. A brooch clipped onto his scarf, the promise of a waiting lover. The life of a wanderer shifts and turns like the torrents amidst storms, Kazuha knows this. Yet, one thing always stays the same; his promise to return home. When he sits beside a crackling fire or on a boulder to gaze at the moon, his fingers ghost longingly over his scarf, over the brooch you gave him. To a man named Kaedehara Kazuha, home isn't a place with a roof on his head but it's the warmth of your embrace as he whispers, "I'm back." And at the end of his journey, he will return to your waiting arms, his one and only home.
AETHER. A grateful kiss on his cheek, a gesture that sets his heart alight. Whether intentionally or not, Aether always gets roped into troubles that aren't his own. And yet, his helpful demeanor doesn't shift at all even behind closed doors, he is always there at your beck and call. From how much people he has helped, hearing "thank you" must've been a part of his daily life now... so, instead of uttering those two words, you plant a kiss on his cheek silently instead. But Aether swears, his heart skips a beat every single time and the smile on your face as you pull away is not helping.

— oh my my ! ♡ | edition: women, version 1.0
ft. ei, miko, yelan & eula x fem!reader content. fluff, modern!au, idol!au mixed with secret agent!au, ooc eula & yelan (first time writing, i apologise), uncomfortable scenarios forced upon reader minorly (it's hinted at), mentions of injury (minor) and weapons/violence.
archon's decree. based off the hoyofair 'oh my my' song by lure! i’m so in love i’ve had it on repeat! also breaking news - perse remembers how to write fluff!
Tumblr media
✉️ mail received! sender: ei
sometimes it's easily recognisable as to why the raiden ei of all people has thousands of fans - everyone is down bad for the mysterious, quiet member of the idol girl group whose deep purple hair seems to be neverending down her back, always displayed in a thick braid that her staff sometimes decorate in neon purple lightning shaped hair clips. electric, that's exactly what she is. it's easily to fall in love with someone so dangerous.
it's not so easily recognisable to realise that the boss dressed neatly in a mix of tactical gear and business meeting attire before you, brandishing a smoking gun is that same raiden ei you adore to the point of having a bedroom wall littered in her posters.
one attachment added!
there's a deadly silence that fills the alleyway following the gunshot. is he dead? oh god he might be dead - you shake your head, eyes trailing up the legs of your supposed saviour. they lock onto that braid, it's familiar but you can't quite place where from but then your scared gaze falls onto those purple eyes, looking at you softly.
"raiden.. ei..?" you whisper, unsure as to whether you're dreaming your idol bias standing before you, perhaps it's just the adrenaline. you try to reason with yourself but her eyes seem to widen in response to her name.
"oh," she mumbles faintly, concealing her weapon quickly as she flashes a look over her shoulder - for a moment you glimpse the electro symbol tattooed behind her left ear and your heart jumps up your throat, "you know.. me?"
"that's an understatement," you retort softly, hands beginning to shake. would now be a bad time to fangirl? you're not too sure but there's an energy you can't contain as you look back down at your previous annoyance, "is he.. dead?"
"it was a sleep dart," ei reassures as she approaches, heels clicking on the concrete as she approaches - you catch the red on the sole on her heels as she steps before she kicks at the man's body, "if i killed him, he wouldn't be seen in court for his crimes and true justice wouldn't be served to his victims."
you nod slowly, realising you're still sat on the concrete in bewilderment as you come down from the adrenaline, a shocked gasp coming out of your lips as you hurry to your feet. the sudden action throws you into a dizzy spell, losing your balance as you stumble but an arm locks around your waist, halting your fall.
"careful-" she pauses, noticing the close proximity of your faces when you look up at her. for a brief moment, her hand tightens around your waist and you feel her fingertips press against your hip- "i'd appreciate if you didn't.. mention this to anyone.."
she doesn't let go for a few seconds and you narrow it down to her making sure you're stable enough to stand on your own but with this closed space between you, you feel dizzy of the scent of her perfume - it's faint but smells almost like dango, a sweet dish the tabloids had rumoured to be her favourite. you shakily give another nod, turning your gaze away from the gloss of her lips.
"i didn't see a thing," you comment and ei makes a noise, almost like she's amused by your personality as her arm unwraps from your waist, the two of you standing straight again, "but thanks for.. that."
✉️ mail received! sender: miko
everyone and their mother knows of miko's visuals amongst the members of her group - not to mention her sweet vocals that seem to entice listeners like a siren luring men to the depths. she's cunning both on stage and off the stage, not limited to interviews but reality too. it doesn't take a genius to know that miko is aware of her beauty.
it might take a genius - or a purely unfortunate coincidence - to know that the pretty, pink haired girl you fawn for in your phone case has a job on the side - or is the idol life her job on the side?
one attachment added!
"no thank you." you reject the man politely but he's been persistent, hovering in the bar stool next to you for what seems like hours now. his breath reeks of whiskey and it seems he's not taking no for an answer. chapped lips part to speak again, words that will be slurred and barely coherent when there's a clear of someone's throat, it's soft and yet sweet and authoritative.
"i believe she said no." the woman chimes in, lingering over the man's shoulder as she lets out a sultry smile in your direction. you don't lack to catch how decorated purple nails drop something into the man's half full glass while he's preoccupied. he appears alarmed by her sudden appearance, his vision hazy as he looks up at her.
that's when it hits you, she's familiar. pastel pink locks that tumble down her shoulders and long eyelashes that flutter with every movement of her eyes - yae miko? you blink numerous times, maybe she'd slipped whatever the hell that was into your drink too. but what was she doing in a place like this on a wednesday night? where was her security?
the man raises that very same glass to his lips, parched from his drunken rambling that miko simply seems to nod to. her gaze keeps flickering back to you, heat creeping up your neck to your cheeks as you catch sight of the photocard tucked into your phone case on the bar beside you and you're hit with a wave of embarrassment. moments later, the man's head drops to the bar, resting on his arms as he drifts off. miko grins, waving down a bartender.
"i believe this man has had too much to drink, have someone escort him out," she orders, her voice steady as a bartender hurries to nod, disappearing from behind the bar. she settles on the other stool next to you, her long legs slipping out from under a violet dress decorated with a white feather boa around her neck, "are you alright?"
purple irises fall to your phone case, a smug smile tugging at her lips as you quickly pocket your phone, clearing your throat as if you could reverse time and avoid her ever seeing that by doing so. she leans forward onto the bar, resting her chin on her hand as she awaits your response.
"i- yeah-" you mumble, your breath shaking as you exhale and your brows knit together- "why are you here...?"
miko lets out an amused laugh behind her hand, rings glittering in the warm glow of the oil lamps the bar used for aesthetic lighting.
"i own this bar, dear," she muses, catching the way your whole demeanour shifts at this newfound information, "in fact, i own the whole chain across the city."
"oh." you whisper, a little awestruck that this information had slipped past you about your own idol bias. miko crosses one leg over the other as she watches security carry a limp man out, tapping her nails on the bar. that's when you notice the earpiece tucked into her left ear and the brief outline of a handgun strapped to her thigh under that incredibly flattering dress. miko notices your gaze on her thigh.
"i believe you owe me a favour for getting rid of that pest outside of work hours," she sighs drastically, a smile curling on her face as she watches your face widen in alarm, "relax, i merely ask you don't speak of what you've seen tonight."
you give a quick, obedient nod as you swallow the lump in your throat. her smile turns from coy to soft, almost gentle as her eyelashes flutter shut, a hum coming from her chest. she can't help but be enamoured by your responses to her presence.
✉️ mail received! sender: yelan
lead rapper of the infamous idol girl group sweeping the country, of course you were a huge fan of her - not to mention her ability to write her own raps, she truly was a creative genius that was a force to be reckoned with both as an idol and privately, not that she would ever allow anyone to know. yelan kept quiet, mysterious much like her group member, ei.
sadly keeping quiet doesn't last forever when the suspects you've been pursuing decides to have a side mission with an innocent bystander.
one attachment added!
you don't quite know where to look, flickering between the unconscious - you think - men on the floor and the ongoing fight between a short haired woman in faux leather pants and the last guy who'd been following you. you thought taking the alley shortcut would have thrown the wolves off your scent but instead, you'd been trapped and cornered.
thank god for mysterious - and inexplicably hot - women saving the day?
you watch as he falls to his knees, limp as his head hangs before his body tumbles to the side. the woman huffs, kicking his body just for extra effect before mildly emerald eyes fall to you. you've been sat on the wet concrete since the fight broke out, your back pressed against a brick wall as the rain falls effortlessly onto the scene.
that's when the short dark hair that fades into a dyed blue becomes familiar and you take in the specific way she's done her eyeliner. what the hell - no, you're seeing things. yelan scoffs softly at your lack of words, taking it as a state of shock as she wipes a bloodied combat knife on one of the men's bodies before she approaches you. she's wearing boots, a sure sight different to the heels you'd see her in on stage.
"they're not dead," she suddenly speaks, the movement making her wince when she becomes aware of a cut on her cheek. she pulls out a compact mirror from her jacket pocket, analysing the cut with a roll of her eyes, "that's gonna pay when my manager sees."
"i don't understand- you- what just happened?" you blurt out, brows knitted together as yelan holds a hand out to you, you notice how she wears fingerless gloves, strapped tight as you hesitantly take her hand to stand up, brushing loose stones from your legs.
"that's for me to know and you to keep a secret," yelan raises a brow as she watches the way you quickly nod, unsure if now is the time to fangirl over touching the hand of your idol bias, "think you can do that for me, angel?"
the pet name goes right to your heart, your heartrate quickening as you stare up at her with wide eyes. there's a sparkle in her eyes as she glances over your face, not missing the way your lips parted to respond yet no words ever came out. a small grin crosses her face before she hears a voice through her earpiece, turning her face away from you to listen to the intel.
"so?" she clears her throat to draw your attention to her - as if you'd ever give your attention to something other than her when you're this close to the woman you've heavily admired for years. you nod quickly, eyes drifting down to the unconscious men once more. yelan makes a noise as if she'd forgotten before she presses a fingertip to her earpiece, "i'm going to need backup on vasari passage, they didn't go down without a fight."
✉️ mail received! sender: eula
her fans always seem calm, it's apparent that they get it from her when the idol group is interviewed and eula's only responses come in the form of soft remarks, arms folded neatly. she rarely hides in the shadows compared to the likes of yelan and ei however the tabloids and paparazzi seem to lack any information on the short haired woman with dazzling locks and a knack for choreographing.
she's your idol bias - of course she would be and you've dreamed of this day but it's... not how you expected it to go.
one attachment added!
you just wanted to stargaze, you thought to yourself as you stand in fear on the roof of your apartment building, your eyes locked to the lithe body of a woman on the cement floor, her face pressed close to a sniper rifle. for a moment, you think that her hair is familiar but you shake your head, there'd been a rising hair trend in relation to the idol group ever since they debuted so you couldn't pinpoint it to eula at all.
you find yourself frozen on the spot - do you speak? it's probably not the best idea to disturb a sniper in any scenario, right? you turn on your heel before you hear the woman mutter something and when you glance in her direction, a pair of honey coloured eyes are piercing through you - albeit a lot softer than you thought a sniper would have.
"you shouldn't be here," she remarks a little coldly, raising herself to sit upright and that's when it hits you, it is eula, "the landlord restricted the roof."
"what the old lady doesn't know doesn't hurt her," you retort but there's a quiver in your voice at the mere concept that you was speaking to your idol bias, "this.. isn't how i thought i'd ever meet you.."
"ah," eula's eyes have definitely softened when you approach, her muscles tense when you settle yourself opposite her on the floor, "so you.. know me."
you nod in response, admiring the black bandana tied in her hair and the tactical gear she seemed to be sporting before your eyes fall to the sniper rifle once more. eula makes a noise, clearing her throat as she leans forward, putting the safety on the gun before she leans back again. you smile at the sentiment of the small action.
this interaction is exactly how you thought it would go, a quiet harmony of enjoying presences; except she was a presence you never thought you'd get to enjoy. in the midst of your silence, a gunshot echoes in the dark of the city's night, disturbing sleeping alley cats and most of all, eula.
the woman is quick to react, pushing you flat to the rooftop's floor as she leans over you, her arms either side of your head. for a moment, you both stare at each other in an awkward silence.
"are you okay? you wasn't hit?" you're not sure if the adrenaline is blurring out any wounds if you had any but you shake your head, letting out a shaking breath. eula exhales and suddenly you can smell the bubblegum she must have chewed before.
you feel the hard exterior of her bulletproof vest against your chest and the way her muscles flex ever so slightly when she's trying to respectfully keep herself from physically laying on you. there's a mumbling from her earpiece and you're silent, trying to pick apart words they're saying. it goes silent again.
eula doesn't move but neither do you, your faces inches away from each other as you both hold your breath. eula finds your somewhat lack of fear about the situation endearing but if she'd asked you, you would have replied with how safe you felt in her presence, knowing she's a trained sniper that you'd a hundred percent put your safety in the hands of.
a small smile cracks on eula's face as she moves off your body, clearing her throat as she peeks through the lens of her sniper, "do me a favour, you didn't see a thing here, sweetheart."

famous dc!au (dick's version)
Tumblr media
TRACK ELEVEN: UNDERSTAND
It's grueling work. The first video was easy but this director has an extravagant and almost larger than life. It's not common for you to star opposite a famous guy who now, on top of that, will play a greek god.
Dick makes it easy. He shows up on set and jokes around with you. And he always eats with you on lunch break, he tries to pay each time but you try to make it even.
Still you can't help but to feel saddened that your friendship is basically over. Along with end of your friendship and the possibility of it being more than that is less than zero. There was no way Dick would have time for you after this video is done. He's too important and busy. And too not over his ex, possibly.
You try your best to smile while on set today.
-
Dick is freaking out. Like actually nervous and almost throwing up, that type of freaking out. The song he wrote-the one about you but doesn't actually call you out by name, but are about the moments he shared with you-it comes out tonight.
He can't pull the plug on it, he hasn't tried but he knows it won't go over well. His manager talked this single up so well to the studio heads that they wanna renegotiate his contract for one more year.
He doesn't wanna creep you out. But he also can't keep going on like this. It feels like a viscous circle of torture. He's close to telling you and relieving himself of this heavy secret. But then he thinks about how you might not feel the same, and how his confession might chase you out of his life completely. He doesn't want that.
He tries his best to not fall in love with you today.
-
"Okay and that looks great guys I think we've got it for today. We'll send word if we need to do reshoots." the director says.
Someone is pulling a robe over your body. You're not really paying attention because you're watching Dick walk away from set. You had just finished the dance sequence and you were out of breath and sweating.
But all that was on your mind was Dick. It was crazy.
You can't let this go on for forever. You know that. But you honestly don't know what to do that won't hurt your feelings in the process.
With a sigh you head back to your trailer. When you get in you see a fruit basket on top of the couch. You walk over to it, there's a bright blue note sticking out the top. You take the note out.
Your fingers rip the envelope open.
'Thanks for everything. I wanted to get your opinion on this.-Dick" the note reads.
You look at the bottom of the note to see a QR code. You take your phone out from the safe in your trailer and scan it. The link takes you to a blank site with only a media player on it. The time stamp is two minutes fifty seconds.
You hit play, intrigued. When you put your volume up you can barely hear what is playing but it sounds like a song, it sounds like Dick's voice. You hit pause and look around your trailer for your headphones. You find them in your back.
Quickly you connect them to the bluetooth on your phone and hit play again. The intro plays and your brain gets this fuzzy feeling, like you've heard these sounds before. You rewind once, twice trying to understand why its so familiar.
But you decide to leave it alone as you want to hear the rest of the song. The melody plays out and honestly Dick's voice puts you in a bit of a trance. You don't really notice the words he's saying at first but when he gets to the chorus your focus is brought in.
Maybe we could try if you let me
Take you by the hand
You're the only one who understands
It hits you then. Where you heard the beginning from. It's from the first music video shoot. When you and Dick were throwing jokes at each other. It was your laugh. Dick put your laugh in a song?
You can't believe it. Well, you-not you really cannot. But why did he leave this for you to listen to if...
Was this a confession? You hit pause on the song. Then your feet are moving before you can even fully think out the repercussions of your actions. You walk right out of your trailer and onto the lot, all the way over to Dick's trailer which is on the other side.
When you get to the door that's when you feel how hard your heart is pumping. Maybe this wasn't the best idea. Maybe you had gotten ahead of yourself. Maybe it wasn't a confession but just him letting you know he's using a personal moment between the two of you in his new music.
Just as you're about to walk up the steps to knock on his door, the door opens. Out comes the stunning and beautiful Zantana. You can feel it in real time how your confidence deflates like a balloon. You try to keep your smile on though.
Her lips start moving but you can't hear her, that's when you realize you still have your headphone on. You pull them off your ears.
"Sorry. What did you just say?" you ask.
She smiles, "Oh, I just said that he's not in here. He might've slipped out a while ago."
"Oh." you say.
"I'm Zantana by the way." she says, holding out her hand.
You take it into your own and shake hands, introducing yourself to her as politely as you can. Your brain is working on overdrive. He's not here? How would she know that if she wasn't here with him?
"I can let him know that you were looking for him." she says.
You shake your head wildly, "No it was nothing. I can just text him."
"Okay. See you around maybe? Are you coming to the party?" she asks.
You feel horrible. You feel like absolute shit. Like here she is being so sweet yo you meanwhile you don't know if these two are a thing or not and you've maybe been harboring feeling for her significant other.
"Party?" you ask now.
Zantana nods, "Yeah the release party for his new single."
Your eyes widen. The song you were listening to a few seconds ago? That song? He was planning on releasing it into the world? What? Your mind is jumping through multiple hoops at the same time.
"I didn't know anything about that." you say, lying.
"Hey, I can put you down as my plus one and get you in. Don't worry about it." she offers.
"I'm just not sure if I can make it." you try to wiggle your way out of going.
"It's a really good song! I know your support would mean a lot to him." she explains.
You think to yourself, maybe she thinks the song is about her. or maybe it is about her and you've gone delusional and the laugh at the beginning isn't yours, because maybe some laughs sound the same. Maybe.
You can't decline an invitation like this. If you want to end this on a good note, if you want to end this at all you have to go.
"Okay, I'll be there." you say.

A lil dalv animation I did to practise some sided lip sync, and also moving the jaw

at first it was a bit hard doing the mouth bc i have this obsession with making it frame by frame so no two mouths at any point. even if they're for the same type of vowel. look the same. there's also the tilted angle n all but once i got used to doing the sahpes n all it became easier. thank god for adaptation
also. kids. for tips on lip syncing if you're just beginning for the love of god NO NOT USE ENGLISH SONGS GETTING THE FUCKING MOUTHS RIGHT, ON TIME, AND FOR THEM TO VOCALISE EVERY SINGLE VOWEL WAS HELL AND BACK. PLEASE. USE JAPANESE SONGS THEY'RE MUCH EASIER I AM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES THERE WERE SO MANY POINTS WHERE I REGRETTED THIS SO MUCH
Also for some reason krita's animation player chose to malfunction?? it skips over so many frames and the audio isn't synced to the animation properly unless you play it from the very beginning which made checking the later parts a tad bit annoying. maybe it has to do with the ffmpeg?? idk. but at least my torment is over
now i gotta work a bit more on the PINK animation. which is also on krita.
