Word count: 6.3K

For the first time in what seemed a millennium, you finally had the house to yourself. Anika was out with Mindy for a date, and your other roommate, Luke, was doing god knows what, probably out fornicating with one of his many boyfriends, but you didn’t care. You only cared about relaxing on the couch and rewatching your comfort show, Game of Thrones.

You grabbed your phone and a bowl of popcorn and went to the couch. You curled up with the blanket hanging over the back of the sofa as you turned on your show.

Tarantula: you up? ;)

The ‘ding’ from the text pulled you away from the tv, and you smiled when you read the text from your best friend, Tara. The two of you had met on campus in the library and instantly became friends. You two bonded over your love for books and shared a passion for horror movies, even though your opinions drastically differ.

Sam lover: maybe, it depends on who’s asking

Tarantula: you’re best friend in the entire world?? Who else?

Sam lover: mhmmm, okay. What are we doing?

Tarantula: movie night, obviously

Sam lover: sure, I’ll be over in ten

Tarantula: just a heads up, you’ll have to come in through my window

You raised your eyebrows at Tara’s message, ‘Why would I have to do that? I’ve been over before,’ you thought to yourself.

Sam lover: why?

Tarantula: because Sam is watching a movie in the living room, and we are hanging out in my room

Sam lover: fuck, okay. why does she still hate me?

Tarantula: I don’t know, but don’t make any noise when you come over. Sam can’t know and don’t try and hit on her if you see her

To say that you and Sam were acquaintances would be an understatement; Sam despised you, while the woman completely enchanted you. Sam was so tall and handsome as hell. She’s bad for you, but she does it so well; you could see the end as it begins. You admired her strength, both physically and mentally, and you loved the way she cared so much about her sister. And that was also your downfall; Sam believed that you were no good for Tara, as every time Tara did something stupid, you were always at the scene of the crime. Of course, Sam didn’t know that you were always there because you tried your best to stop Tara out of respect for Sam (and a shitty attempt at winning her heart), but she never listened when you tried to explain yourself.

You scoffed at your best friend’s words. She knew of your infatuation with Sam and loved to tease you about it. At first, however, she thought it was a bit weird as you were her best friend and thought you were using her to get close to Sam, but after she saw you turn down an invite to go with Sam and Mindy to the movies just to stay at home and play Mario Kart with her, she knew that you were the real deal.

Tara found it a bit sad, though, because every time you would talk to Sam, you would either get silence, a death stare, or a one-word reply, but she would rather die than tell you that she felt pity for your shitty attempts to talk to her sister.

Sam lover: I will not be held responsible for my actions when I am around a beautiful woman with big brown eyes

Tarantula: yeah, yeah, whatever. just get over here soon and climb in through my window; I’ll leave it open

Sam lover: sounds good. I’m omw

With that, you shut your phone off, grabbed your backpack and put a spare change of clothes along with a cable to charge your phone in it, and went towards Tara’s apartment. You enjoyed walking by yourself as it allowed you to be with your thoughts, and you couldn’t help it when you started to think of Sam. The gravitational pull you felt towards the older woman was something you couldn’t explain even if you had to; you just knew that you couldn’t deny the attraction you felt. You longed to get lost in those dark eyes and don’t even get started on those muscular arms; to you, Sam was perfect, and you would count all the stars in the sky if you could call her yours for a moment.

When you reached the street Tara lived on, you sent Tara a quick message asking her which side her window would be on, and she responded with ‘the one that’s close to creepy ass alley,’ which was all of New York in your eyes.

Sam lover: that’s all of NY, Tarantula

Tarantula: It’s across from the McDonald’s, five stories up. And stop calling me ‘Tarantula.’ It’s offensive.

You laughed at your friend’s reply before sending back a quick ‘huh uh.’ You walked around the apartment until you saw the McDonald’s and then the creepy ass alleyway and looked up five stories. And true to her word, Tara had her window open for you. You climbed onto the fire escape and slowly made your way to Tara’s window before sending her a quick text telling her you were here, only you didn’t see the message she sent back telling you you weren’t at her window.

When you pushed Tara’s window the rest of the way and climbed halfway in, you nearly died; Sam was standing in a towel with her back facing you as she grabbed some clothes from her dresser. When she dropped her towel, your heart exploded, and it felt like you were in your wildest dream. You admired her perfect curves, and then the leg that you had in Sam’s room gave out, causing you to fall into Sam’s room with a loud thud.

Sam turned around with a shocked expression before she quickly turned back to her dresser and grabbed a knife. You could not seem to pry your eyes away from Sam’s chest, and you swore you could feel drool fall down your chin. You were too busy trying to engrave Sam’s naked figure into your brain that you didn’t feel the blade fly into your left thigh.

“Sam, I am so sorry,” you said as you tried to stand up on your legs, but one gave out and screamed in pain. The only thing on your mind was Sam’s breasts that you swore looked like the softest pillows ever.

“What the fuck is going-Oh my god! What happened to your leg?” Tara exclaimed after bursting into the room, disregarding her sister, who finally covered herself with a towel. At the mention of something wrong with your leg, you finally felt the sharp pain shoot through your entire leg as you stared at the blade in your thigh.

“You’re weird friend just broke into my room and stared at me while I was changing!” Sam stated as she grabbed her clothes and stormed off to the bathroom, clearly not caring about your wound. Tara quickly ran to your side and knelt beside you, “I am so sorry about this, Y/N. I didn’t know that she also had her window open.”

You shrugged off Tara’s comment as you tried to move, but the pain was too much. You watched as your crimson-red blood steeped onto the room’s flooring and stained your clothing. “Come on, we have to get you to a hospital,” Tara stated, pulling you up to the floor and leaning your weight onto her. By the time Tara had entered the living room and to the door, Sam was dressed and had her phone and keys in hand. “I’ll take you to the hospital; let’s go,” Sam stated as she moved Tara off you and took her place. It was pitiful how your face heated up when you felt Sam pull your left arm over her shoulders and hold it while her right arm was wrapped around your waist, allowing you to lean your weight onto her.

When you reached Sam’s car, Tara opened up the back row door and helped Sam lay you down on the seats before she got into the passenger door. “Do not die in my car, Y/N. I don’t need you to haunt my car,” Sam dryly stated as she closed the door and got in the driver’s side. You don’t remember much of the car ride to the hospital; the only thing on your mind was seeing Sam naked, and no matter how hard you tried, you would never be about to erase that beautiful image from your mind.

One moment you were daydreaming about the beautiful goddess that had just stabbed you, and then the next, you were in a hospital bed with stitches in your thigh. For the life of you, you couldn’t recall what had happened, just that you saw Sam naked, and then she stabbed you. You saw yourself, in hindsight, tangled up with her all night in your wildest dreams. Someday when your mind leaves you, you bet that the memory of Sam will follow you around.

“Oh, thank god, I thought I was going to have to murder Sam,” Tara said as she moved from the chair in the corner of the room and approached your bed. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently grabbed your hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “What happened? The last thing I remember was being in the back of Sam’s car,” you recalled as you looked around the room and saw Sam, who was standing creepily in the doorway with her arms crossed.

“You passed out on the drive here. You should have seen Sam, though; she was terrified you had actually died,” Tara said with a small laugh as she remembered her sister’s frantic attempts to make sure you were still alive, and she also wanted to let you know that Sam slightly cared about you.

Sam scoffed at her sister’s words as she uncrossed her arms and walked toward you. “I was worried you were going to ruin my seats and then haunt my car,” Sam stated coldly, but her eyes betrayed her icy stature. You could see the way her eyes darted across your body, subtly checking to see if you were actually okay, and how she had her hands shoved into the pockets on her bomber jacket, slightly ashamed that she had hurt you.

Within the first encounters you had with Sam, you noticed how she always hid her hands when she was ashamed of something, and right now, all you wanted to do was reach out and comfort the woman. “Eh, I’m fine,” you shrugged briefly.

You talked to Tara while Sam stood around the room, looking out of place as she watched you with her sister. When the doctor came in, she gave you painkillers and told you could leave in the morning. “Could one of us stay here with her?” Sam asked the doctor worriedly when she was close to the door. “The hospital rules say we can’t allow non-family members to stay overnight, but I’ll let you stay with your girlfriend,” the doctor replied with a smile as she looked between you and Sam, clearly reading into some tension in the air.

Sam didn’t even have time to deny the doctor’s words before she left the room and shut the door, so Sam turned around with a scoff and was met with your drugged-out smile and Tara’s knowing one. “Well, Sammy, I will leave you here with your ‘girlfriend,’” Tara joked as she stood from the bed and grabbed her things.

“No. Tara, there is no way you are leaving here this late at night,” Sam replied as she followed her sister to the doorway. “Well, I’m certainly not staying here; I hate hospitals. And besides, Mindy is here to pick me up,” Tara replied with a smile.

She hated to admit it, but Sam was at a crossroads. She didn’t want Tara to stay here after the last time her sister was left alone in a hospital, and she also didn’t want you to stay here alone. She worried about you for Tara’s sake and definitely not because she felt terrible for being the reason you were here.

With a defeated sigh, Sam nodded and spoke, “Alright. Just let me walk you out.”

You watched the two sisters open the door and smiled when Sam stopped and looked back at you, “Don’t do anything stupid until I get back.”

“Okay, girlfriend,” you replied with a dopey smile, clearly enjoying the effects of the painkillers.

When Sam returned, she said nothing as she brought two chairs together and made herself an awkward bed. “You know, you can join me,” you suggested as you scooted over to the side, allowing Sam some room if she chose to sleep with you.

“Yeah, that’s not happening,” Sam replied as she got out a blanket and a pillow from the wardrobe and got comfortable on the chairs.

“Why not? I’ve already seen you naked.”

Sam rolled her eyes and laid her head on the pillow, and covered up with the blanket, “Do not mention that ever again.”

“Okay. I want to let you know you have a beautiful body, Sam. Your boobs are perfect! I mean, my god, the things I would do-”

“Please stop talking,” Sam interrupted you as she tried her best to fight off the fluttering feeling in her stomach at your words. She knew the painkillers were talking, but she couldn’t help but believe there was some truth to your comments. “Goodnight, Y/N,” Sam said after a few awkward moments of silence.

“Goodnight, girlfriend,” you teased as you got as comfortable as you could you a hospital bed before sleep consumed you.

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

In the morning, you were discharged from the hospital but had to walk around with crutches for a while. And to put it short, you hated it. Yes, having to walk around with them constantly clanking every time you walked got annoying, and how your armpits ached at the end of each day. But the worst part was that you couldn’t impress Sam with them.

Naturally, you were angry at Sam for throwing a knife in your leg, but you also shouldn’t have been staring at her while she was changing.

“Who even changes with their window open anyways?” Mindy asked one night while over at Tara’s apartment for dinner. You and Mindy had been invited over for a girl dinner with the Carpenters as you four sat around the dining table. The table had a dish of lasagna along with a salad bowl prepared, and you could not wait to eat the delicious food Sam had prepared.

“My room was hot, and I was letting in fresh air; I didn’t think someone would try and break in,” Sam stated as she made herself a bowl of salad with her lasagna.

“I did not break in. Tara invited me over and told me to go through her open window,” you said once you finished a bite of your food, “so technically, it’s her fault.”

Tara scoffed at your words while throwing a crouton at you, earning herself a scolding look from Sam. “Do not try and blame this on me; I texted you and told you that wasn’t my room, but you didn’t see it,” Tara replied.

“Why did you even tell her to climb through your window?” Sam asked with a puzzled look.

“Because, Sam, you would have told her to leave or probably stabbed her, but you already did that,” Tara dryly said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sam rolled her eyes at her sister's statement before focusing on her food.

“I was lightly stabbed, so it’s not that big of a deal,” you said.

“You were still stabbed, Y/N,” Tara replied annoyedly. She knew that you were weirdly happy about Sam stabbing you, but she tried her best to ignore it.

“Lightly stabbed.”

Mindy chuckled while looking at you, “Whatever. I still can’t believe she threw a knife at you; me personally, I would not let that slide.”

“It’s whatever; I didn’t even notice it until Tara came barging into the room,” you said while looking at Sam, who picked her food with her fork and refused to meet your gaze.

Mindy just laughed at your response before returning her attention to her food. The rest of dinner was filled with laughs and idle conversations, but you couldn’t help but notice how Sam didn’t participate in any of the conversations. You had tried to get her engaged, but she would either respond with a nod, a laugh, or a single word.

Sam felt bad for reacting the way she did, and she wanted to apologize to you, but she didn’t know how without bringing up the fact you slightly deserved it. So, when dinner was finished, and the rest of the group moved into the living room to watch a movie, Sam pulled you aside.

“What’s up?” You asked with a smile as you leaned on a crutch. It had been a couple of weeks since you were discharged from the hospital, so now you only walked around with one crutch.

That smile you gave her, Sam couldn’t find the correct words to describe it. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, and she wanted to kiss it off your lips. “Just so you know, you’re insufferable and intolerable. And I hate you.”

“Oh, okay,” you said with that same smile, fully knowing Sam was lying. Sam, on the other hand, desperately needed to get away from you, or she might do something she would regret. “Is there anything else you need?” You asked.

With a sigh, Sam asked, “Yes, actually. What are some books I could read? I’ve been trying to get into reading because of Tara, and I wanted to discuss them with her, and I need to have a few books under my belt before I do that.”

Your smile grew ten times bigger at Sam’s question, and the older woman wanted to murder you for it. “I have been waiting for ages for you to ask me that. I actually have a copy of my favorite book with me if you want to give it a try?” You asked as you made your way over to your backpack.

Sam followed behind you and watched as you moved around your sleeping clothes and pulled out a weathered book. It had different colored sticky notes hanging from the pages, and the edges around the book looked like they had their share of bumps and drops.

Sam grabbed the book and read the cover with a scoff. “Look, Y/N; I’m not reading a book about a woman who had seven different husbands. That’s just absurd,” the Latina said with a dry tone.

“No,” you replied as you placed your hand on Sam’s wrist, holding the book, “trust me, Sam. Just try it; it’s not what you think it is.”

“Alright, fine. If this book is better than it sounds,” Sam said as she looked around the room with a huff, “I guess I’ll treat you with respect or something.”

Sam didn’t even have time to react before she felt the hand on her wrist pull away and pinch her cheek. “I know you’ll love it,” you said with a cheeky grin as Sam slapped your hand away from her face. “Do not ever do that again,” she warned as she pointed a finger in your face.

“Yes, ma’am,” you responded with a salute before walking back toward the living room, “is there anything else you need?”

‘I want to take you on a date and then put your head on a stick,’ Sam wanted to say but said, “I’ll let you know what I think of it.”

You gave Sam a soft smile as you returned to the living room. Sam didn’t know what she was feeling toward you, but she eventually sauntered off to her room after realizing she cared about you more than friends do.

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

“Come on, Tara; The Babadook is easily one of the worst horror movies ever made!” You exclaimed with your hands as you stared down at the more petite girl. You had finally gotten your stitches out and were no longer walking around with a crutch, so that meant a celebration night over at the Carpenter’s apartment.

“No, it’s not! You just hate it so much because it scares you!” Tara retorted as she hit the leg closest to her, which happened to be the one Sam lightly stabbed.

You moved your legs up onto the loveseat you were sitting on after she hit you, “Yeah, and also because it scares me so much! And don’t hit me, you little shit.” Tara scoffed at your words and stood up and grabbed one of her shoes, and was getting ready to launch it at you when the door to the apartment opened. She quickly dropped the shoe and stood facing the door with her hands clasped behind her back and an innocent smile, as if she wasn’t just getting ready to throw a shoe as hard as she could at your face. “What’s going on?” Sam asked when she saw Tara standing with a creepy smile and your shocked expression.

“Tara was-”

“I was getting up to order some pizza!” Tara interrupted you and sent you a death glare when Sam turned her back to hang up her purse. Sam turned around and looked between you two and ignored the shoe she saw by Tara’s feet; whatever her sister was getting ready to do to you, you probably deserved it.

“Okay,” Sam replied as she exaggerated the word before walking to her room, but not before sending you a glare. “Nice to see you, Sam!” you said with a smile while Sam huffed before slamming her door. “You are such a charmer,” Tara joked as she shoved your legs off the couch so she could sit next to you.

You scoffed at Tara’s words while you reached for the remote and pushed Tara off you when she tried to take it from you. “No! Down girl, down!” You said when you finally pushed Tara off of you. She scoffed as you turned on the tv before leaning back on the couch and putting her feet in your lap. You pulled her feet more into your lap and let your hand rest on her leg while you looked for something to watch. Naturally, Tara made it hard for you to pick something out because she refused to watch anything you wanted to spite you, but eventually, you settled on watching ‘Carol.’ You loved this movie more than anything, even though you cried every time you watched it.

For some unknown reason, Tara pulled her feet from your lap and left the couch roughly ten minutes into the movie. “I’ll be right back,” she said as she walked toward her room with her phone in hand. “Do you want me to pause it for you?” You asked as you reached for the remote but stopped when Tara told you not to wait up on her. You missed the devilish smirk she wore on her lips as she disappeared into her room.

You continued to watch the movie by yourself when you heard a door open up. “Finally! I was starting to think that you were leaving me here to hang out with Sam,” you said with a smile as you paused the movie and finally turned around to face Tara, but your smile faded once you saw Sam. “Oh, I’m sorry; I thought you were Tara,” you said with an embarrassed tone as your eyes refused to meet Sam’s piercing gaze.

The older woman huffed at your words before she went to the couch and sat at the opposite end while unlocking her phone, trying to keep as much space as possible between you two. “Tara texted me and told me that she felt sick and she didn’t want you to leave because it’s late at night and doesn’t want anything to happen to you, so she wants me to keep you company,” Sam read aloud her text messages between her and Tara before she closed her phone and set it on the coffee table in front of you guys.

“You don’t have to; I’m fine staying in here by myself,” you said with a polite smile while looking at Sam. The woman turned her head and looked at you before giving you the fakest smile you have ever seen while she lied through her teeth, “That’s alright, I’m good to stay in here with you.” The tension was so thick you could practically taste it on your tongue, but you held your breath and muttered a quiet ‘okay’ as you restarted the movie.

It’s not that she hated being around you after the incident; the only thing she wanted to do was kiss you and call you hers, but she was afraid you wouldn’t feel the same. Especially after she lightly stabbed you.

“Wait, why are you restarting it?” Sam questioned as she looked between you and the tv.

“Because you missed the opening scene, which is arguably one of the best scenes in the movie, and you also need to watch it to understand the ending better,” you reasoned with an honest smile while your gentle eyes danced across Sam’s face.

She didn’t know why, but after listening to your explanation of why the opening scene was essential and listening to your voice that was full of only love and admiration for this movie, Sam decided that she would actually pay attention to it, rather than send you hateful glances every once in a while.

So when the tv finally stopped the introduction, and it was Carol and Therese sitting together at a dinner table in a fancy restaurant, Sam picked up on the tension-riddled scene and couldn’t help but glance over at you. She noticed how your eyebrows furrowed, and your eyes danced between Carol and Therese as if you were getting ready to jump through the tv and become a part of the movie. Her eyes finally drifted down to your lips, and she noticed how your tongue was barely sticking out between your lips as you studied the screen, as if there was going to be something small in the background, and if you blinked, you would miss it.

“Are you even watching?” You questioned when you felt eyes burning into the side of your skull, but your own eyes never left the screen.

Sam awkwardly cleared her throat before speaking, “Sorry; you just seem really invested in this movie, and I thought it was funny.” You felt heat creep up the back of your neck at Sam’s words but shook it off as her being cautious of you. “It’s a great film, Sam. I think you’ll like it,” you replied with a gentle smile as you pried your eyes away from the screen to look at Sam before returning your attention to the tv.

When you said that she might like it, Sam took her eyes away from you and actually paid attention to the movie. When the sex scene came up, the air in the room became tense, as if both of you were holding your breath and holding back from one another. Sam tried her best to fight back the blush she felt, and she looked to you for help. You had your mouth agape, no matter how often you watched this scene, you were always enchanted by it, and you whispered, “I wish that were me.” Even though she tried to, Sam couldn’t come up with a retort for your comment; she also wishes she could do that with Cate Blanchett, but she also wishes that was her with you.

Sam then turned her attention back to the screen and had to fight any urges that she might have been feeling toward you. Her eyes never left the screen until the very end; only when she had to blink back the eyes that threatened to escape as she looked up at the ceiling. When the end credits rolled, you cleared your throat, tension still left over from the sex scene, “So, what did you think of it?”

“It was certainly something. It was a lot better than I expected, just based on your taste in things,” Sam joked as she subtly wiped the tears away in her eyes. You chuckled at her words, ‘if you only you knew,’ you thought as she stared at her with hearty eyes.

You quickly snapped out of your daze when you noticed Sam shuffling uncomfortably on the couch, “Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. And just so you know,” you said as you stood up from the couch, “I have an exceptional taste in things.”

Sam laughed at your words before standing up, “I highly doubt that.” You smiled at the older woman before making your way to Tara’s room; you had plans to murder the little shit for leaving you alone with Sam. “Goodnight, Sam,” you said with a smile as you opened Tara’s door slightly. Sam gave you a genuine smile as she went to her room, “Goodnight, Y/N.”

This was the first time you had had a direct conversation with Sam since she pulled you aside and asked for a book recommendation, and you wished you could have more conversations with the woman. She was smarter than she gave herself credit for, and the way she expressed herself through body language while talking was something you found attractive, to put it lightly.

When you entered Tara’s room, you saw the girl lying toward the foot of her bed with her laptop open, and you could faintly hear Toni Collette giving her ‘I am your mother’ speech. “So, how did it go with Samantha?” Tara questioned with a smug grin as you sat on the bed with your back propped against the headboard. You threw your legs up onto the bed and dug the heel of your right foot into Tara’s back, causing the girl to let out a small yelp before shoving your leg off of her and scolding you.

“Whatever, you deserved it,” you said as you crossed your ankles and left them next to Tara, who was still facing the foot of the bed. “And for your information, it was fine. She didn’t try and kill me again,” you joked.

“A win is a win,” Tara replied as she moved to sit next to you and put the laptop on your lap while she cuddled up next to you. You put your arm around her waist and placed a platonic kiss on her head right when Sam walked in.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I can come back later,” Sam said as she looked down at the floor and turned her back to you two, embarrassed that she had just walked in on an intimate moment between you and her sister and ignored the pain she felt in her heart. “No, it’s okay, Sam,” Tara said while pulling away from you and silently encouraging you to go after Sam even though she was still in the doorway.

“I thought you were sick?” Sam asked with her back still facing you two. “Yeah, I can’t explain that one without unveiling my grand scheme of things plan,” Tara said while getting up from her bed and turning Sam to face her, “I’m serious, Sam. Nothing is going on between me and Y/N.”

Sam looked away from her sister and saw you sitting on Tara’s bed, smiling as you sent her a small wave. The woman scoffed at your actions before returning to her room.

Once Sam was gone, Tara closed the door, walked over to you, and hit you in the stomach. “The fuck was that, Y/N?” She whisper-shouted at you, “I basically admitted to having a plan of forcing you and Sam together, and you fucking wave at her?”

“I didn’t know what you wanted me to do!” You defended.

Tara sighed at your statement; she had laid the groundwork, and then just like clockwork, the dominos were supposed to cascade in a line because she’s a mastermind, but your dumbass messed it up. “Go talk to Sam. Right. Now. Or so help me God, I will violently murder you to death,” Tara commanded as she pulled you from her bed and pushed you toward the door. “And do not come back until you have talked to her,” and with that, Tara shut the door in your face and locked it.

You sighed before walking toward the living room. You thought about sleeping on the couch, but you knew Tara would probably draw a penis on your face while you slept, so you sucked in a deep breath before walking toward Sam’s door.

Sam heard a gentle knock of three intervals at her door, pulling her away from her note. “Just a minute,” she said as she finished her writing and slipped it into a preselected page in the book.

“What’s up?” She asked once when she opened her door and saw you.

“I just wanted to ask you about the book,” you replied with a smile that Sam wanted to kiss off your lips.

Instead of doing what she desired, she left her door open while grabbing the book and handed it back to you. “This is the saddest book I have ever read. Who would come up with such a thing?”

You chuckled at her words and accepted the book, “I know. I take it; you finished it?”

“Barely. But I finished it in one sitting,” Sam said while staring into your love-struck eyes. Sam swore she could feel herself getting lost in them, and she never wanted to leave your eyes.

“So, what did you think of it?” You asked.

“It was alright. Some pages were hard to read because of the tear-stained pages.”

You lightly laughed at Sam’s words, and the older woman felt her heart might explode if she heard that soft laugh again. “Yeah, I’m sorry about that. This book really gets to me, you know?” You said while your eyes quickly glanced down at Sam’s lips, wondering if they tasted as good as they looked.

Sam cleared her throat, and you knew you had been busted. “So, I guess I’ll have to treat you with respect now,” she admitted through a tightened jaw.

“Or whatever,” you said with a smile, hoping Sam picked up the double meaning, and she did.

“Yeah, or whatever.”

“Just so you know, nothing is going on between me and Tara,” you clarified after a few seconds, and you set the book down on the couch behind you.

Sam knew that there wasn’t anything between you and her sister, but hearing those words leave your lips gave Sam a feeling of comfort she didn’t know she needed. “I know, Y/N.”

“Okay. I just wanted to clarify that before I did this,” Sam didn’t even have time to react before she felt your hands grip her neck and pull her into a passionate kiss. The way your lips felt like they had been made for her lips amazed Sam, and she finally felt her heart explode when she matched your intensity.

Your lips danced together as Sam deepened the kiss and pulled you by your waist closer to her. You felt her tongue push past your lips, and an involuntary moan slipped out, causing Sam to laugh against your lips. When you felt Sam’s hands drift toward the bottom of your shirt, you lifted your arms, and Sam got halfway into taking it off before you two heard a voice behind you, “Goddamnit, Y/N! I told you to apologize, not swap spit with her!”

You pulled away from Sam and turned to face Tara, who smiled knowingly. “Sorry,” you mumbled while fixing your shirt.

An awkward beat of silence passed while Tara looked between you and her sister with a sly smirk on her lips before she finally said, “I’ll leave you two to it,” and walked away.

“I’m sorry about that,” Sam said once Tara was gone. You turned to look at Sam, and you smiled at her swollen lips and blown pupils. You said nothing as you placed a final kiss on Sam’s lips that the older woman happily reciprocated.

“I should probably leave,” you mumbled against Sam’s lips, and she kissed you once more before pulling away. “Don’t forget your book,” Sam said while grabbing it for you.

“Thank you,” you replied with a tint of blush on your cheeks. Sam walked you to the door with her hand on the lower of your back, and you only wanted to run back into her room and throw Sam on her bed, but you doubted Tara would appreciate that.

When you reached the door, you placed a chaste kiss on Sam’s lips before opening up the door. “I’ll see you around?” You asked, afraid that this was a one-time thing.

Sam leaned against the doorframe, and she couldn’t contain the smile that pulled at her cheeks. “Of course, Y/N.”

You smiled at her and began walking down the hallway when Sam called out, “It's me and you, true blue.”

You placed a kiss on your pointer and middle finger before holding them toward Sam with a smile on your face. The woman laughed at your action and pretended to catch the fake kiss and her fist to her heart.

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

At home, you fall onto your couch and struggled to get your shoes off. Once they were off, you relaxed and pulled out the book and started reading it. When you ran your fingers over the pages, a small note fell out from the middle of the book and you moved to that page.

In the center of the page was a headline from Sub Rosa titled, ‘Evelyn Hugo and Celia St. James Slumber Parties,’ and you couldn’t help but laugh at the page.

When you opened up the note, written in the most beautiful penmanship said,

‘Want to go grab a milkshake with me sometime? I doubt we’ll find a place as good as Schwab’s, but we can try. We can also have ‘slumber parties’ of our own when Tara is away. ;)

All my love,

Samantha

Sam’

Luigi with S/O who is a princess that was forced to have an alliance with Bowser and no one wants to trust her but Luigi does see that she’s good

Love this sm 😭

☆

"I don't think you're evil, I think you're great."

Summary: As long as you can remember, you've had to have an alliance with Bowser against your will, of course. No one ever wanted to take your side until he came along.

Relationship: Platonic, some romance implied

Warnings: bullying???, fluff, tiny angst, fem reader, lmk if there is anything else

*Also, this is kind going off the plot of a movie, but just a tad, I'm changing it around a bit for the request, also Mario and Luigi already live in Mushroom Kingdom as this takes place.

You couldn't even walk around a different kingdom without people eyeing you down. This is why you hated going to different places for royal meetings, especially when it was about the man that you had to comply with.

Ever since you were crowned you were told that you were to have an alliance with the relentless Bowser, you had zero say in the matter.

So, when you were sent the letter that Princess Peach needed help and an army you knew instantly what it was about, and you couldn't just not go, that would make you look worse.

The guards hesitantly let you into the castle, watching you intently until you turned the corner to the meeting room. The room was full of toads and other kingdoms rulers, it went silent after you walked in.

'Wonderful.'

You walked to the corner of the crowd and looked down, fidgeting with you dress, praying for Peach to start talking.

Like it was a miracle, all eyes were averted from you as she started to talk, she went on about how Bowser was going to soon take over Mushroom Kingdom. You started to feel squeamish, you knew that you would also be blamed for this, anything Bowser would did would also be backlash on you.

You wanted to walk out of there, but that would be too petty and self-centered, then you would really be blamed for the action occurring.

You tilted your head up to listen to what Peach had to say until you heard whispers coming from behind you.

"Why did she even come? It's not like she can do anything to help."

"Not that she wants to help."

Those whispers turned into hushed giggles, you began to look down again until the doors burst open, causing you to bolt your head up.

Luigi and Mario, Mushroom Kingdoms heroes, ran through the entrance,

"Sorry we're late Princess! We got caught up with business." Mario explained, Peach nodded and smiled, signaling him to stand anywhere to listen to her plan.

You locked eyes with the taller brother, his face went a light shade of red as he waved, you sent a small wave back, not enough to bring attention to yourself.

You bring your attention back to the princess, scared for the whispers to start back up.

Peach wrapped up her plan, catching you before you could leave, Luigi and Mario stuck behind, waiting for her to get done with whatever she was about to do with you.

"You know you don't have to come to these." She started.

"I know, but I want to find ways I can help as well, even if there isn't much I can offer."

She sighed, "I appreciate it, I truly do, but think of what affect that would have on the kingdom."

You knew she wasn't talking about the kingdom; you knew she was talking about herself.

"Oh." Is all you could muster out, you couldn't let out a thank you or a sorry, you turned away and walked out.

It's not like this was your fault, you had nothing to do with what Bowser decided to do. As you walked out of the kingdom you got more stares than you did when you were walking in, it's like they all witnessed the conversation you just had with the princess.

When you had reached the tunnel that led to your home felt a presence behind you, you look back and find a wheezing Luigi. He's so out of breath you have to give him a minute to catch his breath.

"I've....been.... chasing...you...for.... 20....minutes."

You had a surprised look on your face, "Really? What for?"

He was finally able to catch his breath, "I lost you in the crowd, I wanted to walk you out, but the princess had to talk to Mario and I."

You smiled at this, "Were you coming to tell me that I'm no longer welcome at Mushroom Kingdom?"

He shook his head violently, "Of course not! I'd love for you to come back, it's really a wonderful place."

"Not when everyone around thinks your Bowsers evil side kick."

"I don't think you're evil, I think you're great."

You both went silent, you decided to finally break the tension, "Nobody has ever talked about me in that way before."

He gasped, "Really? Not even your own people?"

"They're not too keen on being in a forced alliance with Bowser either."

Your face faded out. He could tell you were overthinking, so he wanted to get your mind clear from Bowsers' treacherous ways.

"Would you like to sit with me and watch the sunset?" He asked, you looked up into his eyes, smiled, and then nodded.

He led you over to the grass patch next to the tunnel and you both sat down, he then grabbed you hand while still viewing the skies, you sighed and laid your head on his shoulder,

I loved writing this!!

"Thank you."

Good Stuff: The Super Mario Bros Movie

A fan shouldn't always sugarcoat it. Even if you get something you never figured you'd ever want but appreciate a lot, that doesn't mean a bias should bury any deeper feelings. What I'm getting at is Illumination's Super Mario Bros Movie can be so awesome and it was worth going to the theaters to see personally, but I can't get over the crippling flaw it has to say it was as great as I could say now. Better to be honest now than get increasingly unfulfilled later. First, though, I gotta give the props where they are due.

First, Bowser was The Best in this and I want him

For real, the animation was what I waiting for this whole time, no problems here. The film is fun. If it wasn't fun, that means Disney would've made it and it'd never come out anyways because of "creative differences". Illumination I found can make animations that are really bouncy fun, and it's best shown here. Plus the characters look incredible, DK especially, and there are moments where, in the best way, it felt like a cutscene from a video game I would want to play. Not to snipe at the Sonic movies, but this is seriously what I've wanted from video game movies since... Angry Birds 2? Like enough with the hybrid live-action crap, make a cartoon if the sourced game is about a CARTOON universe. "You mean like Ratchet & Cla-"

We do not... talk about that one.

This leads to something tricky I had in mind to discuss, and that's "faithfulness". Not long ago I watched the 1993 Mario Bros movie, a fiasco that one can argue was unfaithful to most of the source materials even with the few things they got right. Did we get something more suitable here? Well, I definitely wasn't annoyed with the fucking stupid discourse surrounding Peach's characterization and Mario's voice that's for sure. Many will cite this as having a great fuckton of references but I enjoyed the liberties they took whether or not they were references. The fact it starts out in Brooklyn made me already smile but the final act had my booty jiggle with unhinged glee. There's some corniness to it, especially with the certain musical needle drops they do, but even then it felt like they reveled in the corniness of those moments. This made me believe Nintendo and Illumination were looking to just make it excitable and enjoyable regardless of what fits where. It pains me though, knowing that there is that crippling flaw I mentioned at the beginning because while this film was fun, it went by fast. Ludicrously so... disjointedly so.

It was the Apex Cinema Speedrun, if you will

Many negative reviews claim this has a very thin plot and I honestly didn't consider that a wholly bad thing. A thin plot doesn't mean it wasn't cohesive or focused, or that there weren't any arcs to be had. The real problem comes in that certain moments don't feel earned when we barely get any time to cherish them. The pacing of this was kinda atrocious, the tight runtime truly being a detriment behind ideas for characters getting brought up well only to have shallow payoffs. Peach and Luigi especially had something about them I wanted to see more of, but before you got to see the plant blossom, they keep chugging and you're like "Ah, that's it?" They didn't need to spell everything out but let the characters breathe.

Bowser and DK felt like the exception

If this was the only movie we ever got again (knocking on wood), the fun of it all would soon subside for increased disappointment in the long run. I could say "This needs more movie" as a compliment, but that would mean I was fine with what we got. The live-action film, batshit as it was, felt consistent with everything it wanted to show and tell whether or not you saw the director's cut. That's why it became a cult hit, you remember how batshit it was. I genuinely enjoyed the film, but even with its many stand-out moments, it's gonna be hard to remember this film as much as I want to.

Except for Lumalee, I don't ever wanna forget them

I won't tout this overall as mid or "playing it safe" because they did so much right with this. When I say they stuck the landing with the Mario brothers themselves, that genuinely got to me. When we got the adventure, I relished the adventure. Like for the love of god, give me more of all this PLEASE! However, I won't give it a pass and call it perfect just because it tickled the Nintendo fan in me. Illumination's great when it comes to being in the moment, that's why I stopped hating on them, but in terms of their films having staying power this being a Mario film is carrying it hard from being a potentially forgettable one. For me, this is the movie adaptation of the Super Mario Super Show I never knew I wanted but looked forward to and felt was worth it. At the same time, my mind is fighting my heart strong knowing this Mario movie could've definitely been stronger. My final say is that it's a 6/10 movie with 10/10 moments. If you're looking for fun, this delivers no doubt, and don't let this review stop you from calling it a personal masterpiece.

What matters is that Mario finally made the Range

Book 6: Idia is Right, I Guess I am a Vil Stan, and Ortho, No!

Oh, no, a Mario Party game.... It is very good none of you have your magic... This will not end well. 

Sounds like Nintendo... Good old Nintendo. Not the current one at times... 

I tried to think of what game that could be. I don’t think it is Resident Evil, but maybe Yoshi? That seems wrong too... 

Ortho watches cat videos and that sounds about right. Wait, no! Don’t do it! 

Gods, Ortho was probably being nice, but it backfired so much. As for the rest, they’re enjoying this. You know, I don’t think Leona likes kids, but he doesn’t have the heart to hurt one. 

Foreshadowing. Vil, you looking for recruits already? 

It is really good that none of you have your unique magic. It would be a slaughter. 

I LOVE HIM! WHOEVER TRANSLATED IDIA, I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU! 

I really like this. I always love shouting quotes and lines like this. 

Idia reminds me of my frustrations with Pokemon X and Y.... I am still hurt by it. 

-Looks at marvel and the live action Disney movies- He’s not wrong. 

-cries in Pokemon X and Y-

Oh, you have hope! I don’t! Especially now! 

I am waiting for my Kid Icarus game! Please! 2012 was the last one! 

HE’S SO RIGHT! HE IS! THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE OLD NINTENDO! WHY?! WHY?! 

You don’t know the pain I am feeling.... 

To be honest, I felt the same and kind of do still. 

I have to say, Vil’s outlook is fantastic. You can always do something to make something happen. If you just do nothing, then nothing happens. His tenacity is astounding. He continues to work hard and pursue his ideal life and dreams. Gotta be honest, Vil really grew on me as a character. I cannot get over him at all

Azul would love Mark’s Getting Over it Series.... Again, I also enjoy it! Hahah! 

I still can’t believe Rook did it... He loves Vil and no one can tell me otherwise. 

ORTHO SHIPS IT?! 

I still can’t believe you did. 

I somehow doubt it...

........... Foreshadowing. You know, I’m going to make a list of foreshadowing with Idia and Ortho on this. 

Ok first off, Vil did give the best piece of advice, but also the worst one when the gate of hell and souls of the damned are present. Two, I don’t know much about Japanese, but I do know that big brother is said in two different ways. This make sense that Idia had a nickname for us in the West. 

DID IDIA NOT PROGRAM YOU TO NOT LISTEN TO THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED?! ORTHO NO! 

Yeah, I get it. I have this mentality at times too. I don’t stop working hard until I can firmly say, “Did I do my best?” or “Am I satisfied with what i accomplished today?” I understand. 

On the flip side, I DON’T THINK I WOULD OPEN THE GATE OF HELL TO DO THIS! 

guess who just watched the mario movie

SPOILERS!!!!!

if you haven’t watched the movie yet, DONT READ THIS POST. but here’s a spoiler free review in a few words; good and simple movie. 10/10.

before we start, i laughed over the fact that right after the little mermaid live action trailer, they show dreamworks’ upcoming movie; teenage kraken ruby gilman and HAAAOOOO my god i was laughing because guess what the antagonist of the movie is; a mermaid, looks exactly like ariel. 😭😭💀💀

okay lets get to the movie now. the dude that plays the arcade when the brothers see their plumbing ad on tv in the pub, is who i like to call “the demo super mario” because he’s the guy who’s in the donkey kong barrel game, yet i think in an interview with miyamoto, he said that jumpman and mario are the same person, but in this movie they are two seperate characters. so thats interesting. also i think that spike guy looks similar???

missed opportunity for bowser to throw one of the penguin babies off a cliff /j (if you know you know)

JACK BLACK. I LOVE YOU. YOU WERE PERFECT FOR BOWSER. PERFECT CHOICE TEAM. 🤧🤧

i feel like chris pratt actually starts to fit mario’s “normal” voice now with luigi (keegan michael key) like…no hate, but idk its like it fits mario only if he’s with luigi

LITTLE MAC IN THE PICTURE FRAMES

the amount of kids laughing in my theatre because the dog went ham on luigi and mario. 💀

OKAY, bowuigi aside, CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY REMOVE THEIR GLOVES IN THE MOVIE. Like not to be dramatic but…eh..i feel weird and idk how to explain, at least they didnt give them fingernails but- you know the weird feeling?? where you see a character without their iconic gloves??? yeahhhh-

so they have a family, cool. i swear their parents look similar tho, and the mum sounds similar as well…idk and i probably forgot the voice actor’s name but if anyone knows reblog this post if you want

this movie made princess peach a W. BIG W if you will (not the store). rahhh idk why but i was expecting a daisy cameo from this movie but im fine without that

THE FACT THAT THEY ADDED THE DK RAP!!!! unfortunately it was only the start of it but REJAHSHAH i had to sing along

ALSO, diddy, dixie, chunky and CRANKY? you see guys, this is the actual movie that really stays true to their source material.

also missed opportunity for chunky’s death /joke

Idk why, but i thought they were gonna acknowledge or reference a meme of mario in some form in the movie, just like how in the sonic movie sequel they referenced sanic.

from an avid mario kart player that only plays with their family, RAHHHH the mario kart segment made me so HAPPY. actually this whole movie made me happy

the amount of leitmotifs i was able to identify…this movie’s ost is A BANGER. and yes, i will talk about peaches soon dont worry

the animators and artists of this movie deserve a raise, BIG RAISE. they really made the average mario kart race as actual 150cc (thats the cc i normally play on)

im kinda happy that they made the blue shell a character lol and they ended up actually acknowledging that WE CANNOT EVER ESCAPE FROM THE BLUE SHELL

idk the name of the super mario galaxy blue luma star…but i love them, i love how they made them, a cute thing, spit out existential shit, like, that’s me! im the blue star! no i didnt voice act in the movie but this blue luma star is literally me‼️

HOLY SHIT, the fact that they made the terrifying-ass eel monster from sm64 as a minor character in the movie. RAAAGHHHH so much heart was poured in this movie. if i were to choose a movie that did well because they stayed true to their source material, it’d be “mario movie > sonic movie” PERIOD

i mean, they could do a little better on the plot and pacing, because the pacing is a little FASTER than the average splatoon pace lol

the fact that they made kamek (called him lamek bc i forgot his name) dress up as peach when bowser was practicing his wedding shit….🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈-

PEACHES TIME. jack black ABSOLUTELY SLAYED AS BOWSER. AND BOWSER SLAYED TOO HARD IN THIS MOVIE.

peaches peaches peaches peachespeaches peaches peaches peaches peachespeaches I LOOOVVE YOOOOUUUUUUUU-

the jokes coming in, for the dirty mouths it kinda sounds like bowser’s singing “bitches” instead lol 💀

“sorry, the princess is in another castle.” “what if she says no?” IM DYING 😭😭😭💀 ESPECIALLY “THE PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE” ONE 😫😫😫💀💀💀 kinda happy they added that *wheeze*

okay, if anyone dont know who ludwig von koopa is (the name on the piano), its one of bowser’s koopalings (his minions that are the same species as him, bowser junior is his only son, thats it)

anyways. bowser’s marriage hat is the one from super mario odyssey i think! bro how much references are in this movie? yes.

holy shit peach backstory real. she was just a human baby that somehow ended up in the untouched pipe system and went where she is now.

speaking about peach, im so glad that SHE literally slayed in this movie. this wasnt the first time she broke her damsel in distress role tho, idk aside from the smash games i think there was one canon mario game where she broke her typical role..idfk i forgot the game but i swear she girlbossed in another game aside from fighting in smash bros!

missed opportunity for the brothers to do the mario at the end of the movie /j (if you also know then you also know)

seth rogen ALSO SLAYED as donkey kong. like PERFECT voice for a character that doesnt speak english. **chefs kiss**

expect a part two yall. really tired at the time of writing this final dot point but this movie was fire🔥. and yes more references that I pointed out will also be included.

The Pocket Watch in Literary Adaptations of Goncharov throughout History (Part 2)

From there, we move onto probably the most famous pocket watch that was described in all the literary adaptations of the original trilogy: The pocket watch from Nathan Morozov’s version of Goncharov.

I don’t think there’s any other way I could describe Morozov’s literary adaptation of Goncharov other than just perfect. The main reason as to why it’s perfect is because he doesn’t just the pocket watch as the central axis of the story. It’s because he’s providing you with historical context as to what each character is going through in their own country. For Goncharov and Katya, before they moved to Italy, they were living as serfs working for different farmers while also living during the October Revolution in Russia from 1917 to 1923. After that, when they move to Venice, Italy, Benito Mussolini was in power over the people of Italy. And in fact, in 1924, the government under Mussolini made it mandatory for every school in Italy to have a crucifix. That’s also another difference between the Morozov adaptation and the movie adaptation is the Italian setting itself. Scorsese could’ve easily told the cast and crew that they were gonna go to Venice, Italy and film there. However, there wasn’t really as much character or even personality in comparison to Naples. So, they filmed in that city instead. Although, the most interesting thing is that there are certain scenes where the film crew couldn’t film in Naples and they had to move to a different location either way down south or up north in Italy. But that’s just how filming a movie goes sometimes.

Another thing that I found very interesting about the Morozov adaptation is that he made sure to not only use time period accurate currency such as the lira for Italy as well as the exchange rates a character might bring up depending on their country of origin. But what he also brought to the table was counterfeiting the currency as well as techniques on how to make the currency look more authentic.

If you cast your mind back to the original movie adaptation of Goncharov, you’ll remember that Mario showed Goncharov the solution to their problem of having way too many freshly printed lira bank notes from one of their last bank robberies. What Goncharov instructed his goons to do was first crumple up the lira bank note carefully. It needed to look old, but it can’t be torn in any way. After that, the bill was passed off to the next goon where he would then dip the lira bank note into a canister of ground coffee and then it would be crumpled again so that the coffee grounds would settle into the bank note. Afterwards, Goncharov looked over one of the lira bank notes which was now crumpled and dirty from the coffee grounds and then put it into a nearby barrel. They did this sequence with every freshly printed lira bank note before placing a bunch of freshly picked grapes into the barrel and then closing it in order to hide the bank notes from the authorities.

That specific sequence was taken directly from the original source material in one of Morozov’s drafts for the adaptation. However, there’s only one slight change I think the film did better than the Morozov adaptation. In the book, Goncharov just throws the bank note into the barrel and just keeps doing this with every subsequent note. But in the movie, Goncharov looks at the bank note for a while, steps outside, puts the bank note on the ground, and then uses his foot to rub some additional dirt on the bank note. Now, keep in mind, he might’ve only done this once in the film as you see him picking it up and then tossing it into the barrel. The amount of subtext in that little interaction alone is incredible. On one hand, you could interpret Goncharov rubbing dirt into the bank note as a gesture of power and how he doesn’t view the lira bank notes as having any value to him because of the fact that he’s starting to become rich already. But on the other hand, you could interpret this action as Goncharov wanting to snuff out his regrets and mistakes of the past while taking all of that out into this one bank note. The past doesn’t mean anything to Goncharov anymore because now, he’s living in a country which could give them that opportunity for success he’s always wanted.

The Next Animated Blockbuster Heavies, CONTINUED...

A little while ago, I made this post. A sort of culmination to my retrospective on Top 10 animated features at the box office over the years...

Three of the movies I listed and made predictions for, all 2023 movies, came out...

THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE unsurprisingly put up a hell of a fight, making $1.361 billion at the worldwide box office. This places it, currently, at #3. Behind THE LION KING (2019) and FROZEN II...

SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE opened pretty big, and had some solid legs from there, but that picture was definitely more frontloaded than MARIO was. Overseas, it did okay at best, not matching its domestic total. Still, $690m+, excellent.

WISH is not going to make all that much... Not the heavy it could've been, like director Chris Buck's two FROZEN movies...

So, 2023 is pretty much over, unless MIGRATION really surprises. But I don't see that happening. $500-600m maximum, methinks. Possibly SING numbers. A leggy Christmas season movie, but not among the biggest ever. Why would I expect that out of a modest duck picture?

Some delays happened, too, between back then (early 2023) and now.

KUNG FU PANDA 4, INSIDE OUT 2, and DESPICABLE ME 4 are next, as BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE was delayed indefinitely due to it being faaaar from ready for a 3/29/2024 release a little after the release of ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE. Like, it was very clear that the two movies were NOT in production in tandem.

My guess is that the third SPIDER-VERSE movie debuts sometime in 2025. At the earliest... 2026 seems likelier now, which is fair. We waited about 4 1/2 years between INTO and ACROSS, so...

The other 2024 movie that I thought had a shot at getting into the Top 10 is the sequel/prequel to the #1 movie itself, THE LION KING (2019). MUFASA: THE LION KING recently vacated the summer for the holidays, as it now opens December 20, 2024... While I don't really see this movie making anywhere near what the first one did, it's still possible? Maybe? I dunno, I think it performs similarly to ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS and MALEFICENT 2, a follow-up to a remake that I don't think too many folks were clamoring for.

That rounds out 2024... I think INSIDE OUT 2 is the likeliest candidate of those four movies to make the most moolah. Maybe not take home "highest earning animated movie" champion status, but the biggest of the year period... and DESPICABLE ME 4 has a very good shot at it considering how many years it had been since the last mainline movie, and how well MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU did. Heck, the long gap between KUNG FU PANDA 3 and 4 could really boost KUNG FU PANDA 4 as well. Characters/stories people love, long wait for the new one, the kids who loved them being nostalgic, etc.

Who knows, like I said in the earlier piece, maybe there will be some surprises along the way? Watch, THE GARFIELD MOVIE ends up breaking the Top 10... I mean, I don't see why not? Garfield is a god, a titan whose power we just cannot comprehend. This may be to the 2004 live-action/CG GARFIELD movie with Bill Murray what the SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE was to the 1993 SUPER MARIO BROS. film. Certainly having "The Movie" in the title and the picture being all-animated solidifies that! GARFIELD the comic strip debuted in 1978, 45 years ago. That predates Mario's first appearance as "Jumpman" in DONKEY KONG by three years... You could argue Garfield is older than that, even. Jim Davis debuted Garfield in JON, essentially an early version of GARFIELD that run from 1976 to early 1978 in a single Indiana newspaper. Okay, so I'm largely being facetious here, I don't think THE GARFIELD MOVIE cracks a billion... But who the heck knows! A movie like THE WILD ROBOT or the next WDAS movie could do it, haha.

However, I think a lot of the Q3 and Q4 animated films could be up in the air, release date-wise, should the animation strike happen when the Animation Guild contract is up.

2025 is a little spottier. A few movies have concrete release dates, none of them I feel really have a clear shot at the big billion and the Top 10. 2026 is just some dates without titles. Still too early in the game...

So, we do know that the likes of SHREK 5, ZOOTOPIA 2, FROZEN III, and TOY STORY 5 are on the horizon. Entries in beloved franchises, some of which whose movies are on the Top 10 or are very close to the Top 10. It's also obvious that a SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE sequel *will* happen, and possibly just obliterate the first one in sales.

THE LION KING (2019) is at #1, FROZEN II is #2, FROZEN is #4. The first MINIONS is #6, TOY STORY 4 is #7, TOY STORY 3 is #8, DESPICABLE ME 3 is #9, ZOOTOPIA is #11...

FINDING DORY is at #10, and there seem to be no plans for another one of those Pixar fish movies at the moment. Ditto THE INCREDIBLES, as INCREDIBLES 2 is #5... But you just know they'll happen, because Disney likes money, and if TOY STORY 5 can exist despite how both 3 & 4 ended... Yeah, there will be a FINDING Somebody 3 movie and an INCREDIBLES 3, and they're sure to tear up the box office.

But again, something that isn't a sequel to a beloved favorite could make a splash. After all, Walt Disney Animation Studios got the big billion out of FROZEN and ZOOTOPIA individually. Both movies were not expected to do anywhere near as well as they did. I remember, back in mid-to-late 2013, that the scuttlebutt was that FROZEN would be lucky to make TANGLED numbers... And that ZOOTOPIA looked like some "CHICKEN LITTLE/DreamWorks" thing.

Sometimes Pixar got close with a not-sequel. FINDING NEMO back in 2003 - without the aid of 3D/IMAX/premium formats and with much lower tickets prices compared to now and a smaller international market - nearly made $870m on its initial run. INSIDE OUT and COCO were big 800s, too. Most Pixar originals hover around $600-750m on a good day. The likes of THE INCREDIBLES, RATATOUILLE, and UP. You know.

Outside of Disney and Pixar, you've got Illumination, whose biggest original movie was THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, which made over $800m worldwide. No original since got there, though SING did pretty great for itself. I'm not sure where MIGRATION can land, but who knows. Is the public gung-ho for funny ducks at the moment? You can never guess where the zeitgeist will be. Only when the movie comes out, you find out.

DreamWorks' highest-earning not-sequel movie is KUNG FU PANDA, which made over $630m worldwide back in 2008. No 3D, no IMAX, lower ticket prices, adjusts to something a lot bigger today I reckon. Behind that is THE CROODS, which made $580m+ in 2013, and then MADAGASCAR, which made $530m+ in 2005, and then THE BOSS BABY made $520m+ in 2017. Nothing after BOSS BABY did that kind of money: Not ABOMINABLE, and certainly not the post-Omicron BAD GUYS. Maybe THE WILD ROBOT, from Chris Sanders - who directed THE CROODS and HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON as you likely already know, becomes the studio's next big not-sequel smash hit.

Sony Animation's biggest not-sequel was THE SMURFS with $560m+. INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, for an all-animated film, is second at $380m+. No original movies are on their theatrical slate at the moment. FIXED is finished and rated by the MPA, but is without a release date nor any indication of where it'll play: Streaming or theaters? K-POP DEMON HUNTERS is to be a Netflix release. Everything else, like BUBBLE, TUT, TAO, etc.? Up in the air.

Paramount Animation, can't say. All of their not-sequels went belly-up or got re-routed to streaming/VOD: THE LITTLE PRINCE got offloaded to Netflix, WONDER PARK bombed hard in 2019, RUMBLE, UNDER THE BOARDWALK and THE TIGER'S APPRENTICE all skipped a wide theatrical release. No not-sequel movie has a release date, the only things close to that are still parts of franchises: TRANSFORMERS ONE, THE SMURF MOVIE, the untitled AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER movie, etc.

So, we gotta see where everything's at by the middle of next year... But I'll be curious to see how KUNG FU PANDA 4, THE GARFIELD MOVIE, INSIDE OUT 2, and DESPICABLE ME 4 - the movies that I think are guaranteed to meet their release dates - will do.

Super Mario Bros (1993 Redux Teaser)

I've picked out 2 scenes from the script of my version of a live action Mario movie. I'm posting them here just to see if anyone would be curious or interested in this passion project.

Brooklyn 1993 (present)

In the middle of a small, stuffy office, A young man in his late 20’s sat in front of a desk looking quite nervous. A red newsboy hat sat on top of his flowing brown hair, as well as a neatly groomed mustache on his face. This is the face of Mario Mario, a young man who took over a family plumbing business when he was 19 years old. He was quite short for his age and fairly skinny, but being poor will do that to you. He dressed pretty simply, only a pair of beige cargo pants, light blue button up shirt, and a maroon red bomber jacket was his current wardrobe choice. Although, owning only so many clothes didn’t really give you much of a choice.

“Are you sure you can’t let this slide?”

Mario asked, with his Brooklyn accent.

“Unless you can get your work done on time, I guess you’ll just have to accept a 20% cut in your pay.”

At this moment, Mario was dreading this conversation. He was in the office of his contractor, Foreman Spike. You may be thinking to yourself: Why would he cut his pay, even if he met the deadline? Well it seems that’s just how independent contractors operate, especially if they hate your guts…

“C’mon Spike, I got the job done, as per your deadline and it met the inspection regulations…I think.”

Mario said unsurely as he stood up and followed Foreman, trying desperately to convince him.

“Yeah, keep telling yourself that Mario. Maybe one day you’ll actually be a competent plumber.”

Spike said as he walked away, leaving Mario to his lonesome. Mario sighed in frustration as he left the building, grumbling to himself. Making his way out the door and to the parking lot, he walked his way across the street to an old, bulky, clunky white van. The side of the hand-me-down vehicle was emblazoned with the logo ‘Mario Brothers Plumbing Services’ In neat red cursive font. The van wasn’t perfect, in fact it seemed like Mario was doing more work on his own van, than the customer's toilets or sinks. 

Stepping inside the van, he grumbled to himself as he turned the key and started the engine. He could feel the other occupant’s eyes on him. Turning to face the passenger side, Mario was met with the questioning look of his little brother, Luigi. Luigi was similar in appearance to his brother, although he was taller, as Mario was only around 5’3”. Luigi himself wore a green denim baseball cap which sat backwards on his head, a plain gray tee shirt with an old green hoodie and white pants. To top it all off, Luigi even had the beginnings of a mustache on his face. He laid back in the van’s passenger seat with his long legs perched up on the dash.

“So, how did it go?”

Luigi asked in a dry tone, with a similar Brooklyn accent to his older brother.

“It went…”

Mario sighed as he put his head on the steering wheel in defeat.

“We got a 20% pay cut for Not reaching inspection regulations.”

Mario said as he exaggerated the quote with his fingers.

“Don’t worry about it Mario, we’re still on call, you never know what could happen. Maybe we will fix a broken toilet and get a nice tip.”

Luigi said, only half paying attention, as he threw out the possibility.

“You don’t get it, do you Luigi? If we can’t get profits up by 19%, we won’t have any toilets left to fix!”

Mario said sternly to his younger brother. He sighed as he began driving back to their apartment. 

“How you got into a serious craft like plumbing, I’ll never know.”

“You and Pops forced me.”

Luigi replied as stared off into the distance, most likely thinking about something else.

“What do you mean forced? You had free will. It was me who was forced to carry the business.”

“Whatever…”

Luigi replied Idly.

“Today in our miraculous world, another dimension, the universe next door, an alternate world separated by time and space, yet somehow joined and contiguous with our own……….”

Luigi Laid across the couch in their small brooklyn apartment, It wasn’t much, but it kept a roof over their heads. The TV broadcasting one of Luigi’s favorite shows to waste his time watching, ‘Miraculous Worlds’, It was his main source of intriguing stories and mythical occurrences.

The background noise of the TV was interrupted as a phone began to ring on Mario’s small desk in the corner. Mario hastily picked up the phone, desperate for work, more specifically a paycheck.

“Mario’s brother’s plumbing, no leak too small… Uh huh.. No, no, don't touch it, just leave it to us sir.”

Mario put the phone down and turned towards the couch with an enthusiastic grin plastered on his face.

“Luigi, grab your belt, we got work!”

He said almost celebrating. Luigi stood up slowly and stretched from laying around lazily and grabbed his belt and the van keys before following Mario out the door.

“Alright, but I’m driving this time.”

Luigi replied with a yawn. Mario almost couldn’t bear the thought of his brother driving, but if it got them to location, so be it. The brother’s step into the van and start their trek to fix a broken dishwasher.

“Alright, take a left here.”

Mario said to his brother, before he suddenly felt the vehicle swerve and turn to the right through the intersection.

“Left, I said Left! What are you doin’?”

Luigi kept his eyes on the road as he replied to his brother.

“I don’t know Mario, but I got a good feeling about this alleyway, I don’t know, but trust me big brother, We’ll get there!”

Luigi said excitedly. This kind of behavior wasn’t unusual for Luigi, sometimes he just felt his instincts towards something would lead to a better outcome. However Mario didn’t think like this at all, Mario didn’t think, he knew, which happened to be one of the reasons he picked up plumbing so easily.

“Luigi!”

Mario shouted at his brother.

“Relax Mario, Sometimes trusting your gut could lead up to a safer outcome, I bet you we’ll get to that cafe faster this way, than any other way.”

“We’ll see…”

Mario grumbled. Only a few minutes after their short argument, Mario felt the van pulling into the cafe parking lot. While his brother may have been right, he still doesn’t believe in letting your ‘Instincts’ take over in any situation.

Before Mario could let a single word leave his mouth, his brother looked at him with the most smug expression he could imagine.

“What’d I tell ya’? Faster wasn’t it?”

Luigi Said, his overly proud attitude clearly shining through. Mario sometimes wondered if he acted that way just to get under his skin. However Mario had more important things on his mind, like how they were gonna afford food and gas.

Mario rolled his eyes at his brother before replying in an irritated tone.

“Yeah and it’s a miracle we made it alive.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in miracles, tough guy.”

Luigi replied jokingly as he parked the van. Both brothers strapped their belts on and stepped outside only to be met with a familiar site…

“Are you serious? Scapelli beat us to it again! C’mon Luigi, let’s see if we can salvage this..”

Mario said in a frustrated manner. The cause of this frustration was the site of a new, clean white van with a basic ‘Scapelli services’

Logo slapped on the side. However Mario is not one to give up, Mario decided to swallow his pride and step inside the restaurant, regardless of who was there. Stepping through the front door, Mario’s eyes were immediately drawn to two tall men in white coveralls. The coveralls were emblazoned with the same basic logo as the van out front.

Walking up to the manager, Mario quickly scanned over the situation in the kitchen before asking.

“What’s the problem with the dishwasher?”

The manager momentarily stopped his conversation with the two men to address Mario’s question.

“It’s leaking from the bottom, other than that, we didn’t notice any immediate damage.”

One of the scapelli workers jumped in, almost to purposely distract the manager from Mario’s opinion.

“We can make it a two day job, assuming we can get the parts on time, you know how it is ordering parts, right?”

He said suddenly and smugly, as if to convince the manager that his nonsense would be the better choice than the work of the Brothers.

“Woah, who said anything about two days? This is a two hour job at best, these hacks are just trying to snow you!”

Mario said, Jumping back into the conversation. Surely this manager wouldn’t be so foolish as to believe their absolute jargon… Right?

“That’s a lot of big talk, considering you two can barely keep your van running and tools clean.”

The other scapelli worker said with his arms crossed, trying to show dirt on the brothers.

“I’ll have you know, our van runs just fine, this dishwasher looks like it just needs a new hose, we can have it running in just a few hours.”

Luigi snapped back at the scapelli worker while also referring to the manager about the dishwasher.

“And it may break again in five minutes if you let these bums touch it. So what’ll it be, Mario brothers? Or Scapelli?”

“Scapelli.”

The manager said quickly, trying to avoid a conflict in the restaurant. However as soon as Mario heard those words, he began trying to negotiate further before the rival scapelli workers grabbed them both brothers and threw them out the door. The Brothers hit the dirt in front of the building, landing simultaneously flat on their backs.

“So much for salvaging this…”

The Argument Against Caleo

Spoilers up to Blood of Olympus and beyond. Beware! (Or not, the book series has been out for a few years, get over it). I wrote this after seeing a user wondering why people didn’t like Caleo, or in some cases, hated it. Here, I want to explain the answer as much as possible while doling out my own points. 

One of the main grievances I have as a fan of Leo Valdez would be the ship Caleo, or Leo x Calypso. It’s a complicated ship, to say the least, with multiple issues that make me question why people like the ship. And I admit it, they initially had some chemistry, but there’s multiple issues that Uncle Rick produced through making such a relationship that makes it extremely open to criticism, criticism which I will explain through this post.

One of my main points against them is that the ship was created on a very limited time scale. Although we aren’t given an exact date to date of when Leo and Calypso met to when they fell in love, we can safely estimate it to be a week at best. Such a limited amount of time from going through the multiple stages of a relationship already stresses the limits of the suspension of disbelief.

A counterexample would be Percabeth, or Percy x Annabeth. Throughout the series, we aren’t introduced to them being romantically involved until the Titan’s Curse, which was two years after they met. Specifically, this is brought up by Aphrodite, the goddess of love herself. Admittedly, Percy and Annabeth were twelve years old when they first met, when romance was definitely out of the picture, especially with a quest to get the Master Bolt.

However, from there we get to see multiple examples of their character depth, ranging from their respective fatal flaws to their ambitions, hopes and dreams, and their friendship. We get to see the slow build up of their chemistry, which was a really good writing move on Uncle Rick’s part. These characters took their sweet time to get to where they wanted to go, and despite the false romantic lead of Rachel, they still got together.

On the other hand, we don’t see enough of this between Leo and Calypso — we only see one book where they interacted with each other in The House of Hades, and that was only for a handful of chapters. While they are definitely older so they can jump straight to romance (some may say too old, but I’ll get to that) its still a pretty huge gap to jump through without making it stick. This makes it hard to root for a ship when it is built on a rather faulty foundation from the ‘they just met’ to ‘they get together’, especially when they don’t have a lot of events to show their chemistry.

Which brings me to Ogygia, which has raised a few red flags for me when looking at it from a retrospective point of view. Now, we know what the main issue of the island is that the hero who landed on said island can’t leave until Calypso falls in love with them. And we’ve seen this with Percy during the Battle of the Labyrinth, where he lands in the island and Calypso falls in love with him while tending to his wounds from, you know, being erupted from freaking Mt. St. Helens. Needless to say, this falling in love with each other montage happened quickly to the point of suspicion, which sets up the complication that Calypso and Leo might have fallen in love due to magical intervention.

And hear me out, because although this  might be a pretty big pill to swallow, we have evidence for this through Percy. It only takes one chapter for Calypso and Percy to meet, and the next he’s willing to consider leaving Camp Half-Blood and Annabeth behind to live on the island when Hephaestus gives him the choice to leave Ogygia or stay. We don’t even get an explanation on why Percy considered giving it all up just so he can be with her. All we know is, girl meets boy, now they want to live on an isolated island forever. It’s especially absurd considering Percy’s hamartia (fatal flaw) is freaking loyalty to those he loves.  Needless to say, It’s a huge YIKES, especially when we apply it to Leo and Calypso. 

It also raises the possibility that the romantic relationship between them is doomed to failure. And if you guys want to fight me on this, let’s look at Jason and Piper, a couple whose relationship started with a similar foundation. Piper had romantic memories implanted into her brain by Hera through the use of the Mist, while Jason was reduced to a Tabula Rasa (a blank slate for those who lack culture) by said goddess. They broke up before the Trials of Apollo because it was clear that when the dust settled, Piper had been aware that their romance was a lie and that their intentions to stay together was a mix of delusion and pressure from freaking Aphrodite. Leo and Calypso get together under what is arguably a very similar set of conditions if Ogygia’s magic had any influence on their relationship, and that this magic could wear off if given enough time. 

Third, and here’s a pretty big one for me, would be Calypso’s character, mainly because there are a lot of unfortunate implications attached to it. In The Blood of Olympus, she was turned into the divine equivalent of Princess Peach, with Leo being her Mario (except he saves her with a badass metal dragon). Its extremely unnecessary to make a character, especially as one such as Calypso, get  turned into the typical reward of a B-Class action movie. It’s insulting and puts her up as a trophy, a narrative that is definitely not ok by any means necessary.

In another direction, Calypso is also really, really worrying when things don’t go get her way. First, let’s look at The Odyssey, the first myth she pops up. Calypso had imprisoned Odysseus for ten years on her island until Hermes said to let him go, and although it gives them plenty of time to fall in love, it also raises the implications of stockholm syndrome. Then we’ve got the fact that Calypso cursed Annabeth out of spite, implicitly saying that she wished the daughter of Athena would suffer the same isolation that she did, which came to reality when Percy and Annabeth met the Arai in Tartarus. And Annabeth wasn’t even aware that she was still in Ogygia, much less intentionally intervened in the matter. When Percy left Ogygia, rather than be angry at Percy, Calypso cursed Annabeth out of all people to suffer the same loneliness and misery she went through. That’s some Hera at her worst levels of spite. 

Through such evidence we can see that Calypso is extremely wrathful towards those who break her heart even though they don’t want to. It certainly implies that Calypso isn’t in a good state of mind, and could easily repeat said actions if provoked. We could almost compare it to Medea and the original Jason, but at least in that case, Medea has every right to be pissed off at Jason and take her revenge. Calypso’s curse and how she handles things certainly implies a level of immaturity that would end in disaster if they broke up.

One issue that, I’ll admit is more from my personal point of view is that the ship took a lot of Leo’s character and threw it in the garbage in Blood of Olympus. Though we see him do a lot of stuff behind the scenes, the fact that its all for the goal of reaching Calypso just reduced him to someone who is more focused on love than, you know, fighting the evil goddess that was responsible for killing his mom and getting sweet sweet revenge. While the revenge plot can be cliched sometimes, it can be played well, while romance and the typical ‘always save the girl’ trope is just overdone. If Leo had been allowed to, you know, be more focused on other things rather than Calypso, we could have seen a lot more variety in his character.

For example as one of the possible character arcs he could’ve gone through, Leo has always been alone among the couples, often being isolated. Heck, Nemesis herself stated that he would always be the seventh wheel, and that he would never find a place among his brethren. Though some fellow tumblr users have taken this in multiple ways, either saying that he should learn to be happy by himself or that he is socially isolated in the Argo II because of these romantic relationships (I prefer a mix of both). Uncle Rick just giving him a girlfriend seems like taking the easy way out of solving such an issue and abandoning what could’ve been a rather interesting character arc. The relationship isn’t a bad thing if we remove some of the unfortunate implications, but it is a bad way to end what is a complex and realistic problem for a character and in some cases maybe possible in real life.

One more minor but still yikes worthy point is that there’s a huge age gap between them. We’re not talking about the ‘Hazel is 15 and Frank is 17 and in one year that’ll be a problem because then Hazel will be jailbait’ age gap. And even then, we can argue that Hazel is older since she is chronologically ninety-one years old. No, Calypso is older by millennia in terms of mindset and body due to the perks of being a goddess, while Leo is sixteen.

God-to-Mortal relationships are already complicated, even with emotionally and socially well-functioning adults. The fact that Leo is underage, inexperienced with romance (despite his flirting, Calypso was his first kiss), and has been through a freaking ton of trauma in his youth, does not make this okay. At best, they’re both mutually interested in each other but may have different expectations when it comes to a relationship. At worst, Calypso is taking advantage of a boy just so she can get out of Ogygia and possibly dumping him later on like the wrapping of a candy bar. Even though Calypso lost her immortality during The Trials of Apollo, that doesn’t even compensate for the immense age gap alongside Leo’s guilt at the possibility that he might’ve been responsible for her losing said immortality.

Oh, and about Leo... I’m a fan of him, but I can admit that he is in a bad spot both mentally and emotionally throughout the series. He’s lost his mom due to a mix of his own powers and Gaea’s trickery, and never had the chance to fully process that event and come to terms with it. The foster home system alongside his own trauma has forced him to hide his emotions through a façade of happiness and jokes when it’s quite clear to me he needs a therapist, stat. He's also run away from several foster homes, implying this means he was and still is being affected by the event. His mask is still on during The Blood of Olympus considering he hid a lot of things from Piper and Jason.

Speaking about them, not helping this matter is the fact that he’s rather isolated in terms of friendships since Jason and Piper, his supposed best friends are more interested in locking lip rather than, you know, actually hanging out with each other.  He doesn’t have good friendships with the rest of the Seven, and the closest ones he does have is with Hazel and Frank. And even then they start off in the wrong spot since Frank is very insecure about possibly losing Hazel to him during Mark of Athena while Hazel in the meantime, is also dealing with the fact that he is the descendant of her possible boyfriend Sammy Valdez. 

This could indirectly have made him desperate for affection since he has nobody else to confide in during the rest of the series, which is a bad mental state to be in when one lands on Ogygia, the island that we’ve seen could possibly force two people to fall in love with each other. A romantic relationship is not something that he needs or something that will help him in the future. He needs more than that, and having him in one that could end in disaster is the last thing he needs. 

And that does not make him a bad person, much less a bad character. While some who are similarly emotionally and socially isolated may turn to violence or creepy behavior on those they want affection from, Leo does not do that to the other characters. It just means that he as a character needs more time to recover and develop before we go giving him romantic relationships, much less one with Calypso.

That’s not to say that they don’t have some things in common. Both are starved for love and affection, with Calypso being constantly rejected by heroes while Leo was rejected by foster homes and his own family. It’s a trait that they have in common, but it shouldn’t be the only thing that they have in common, especially since it is laced with a trauma that is clear they haven’t had help processing. They need to develop more as characters and as friends before they should be paired together.

So… yeah. The Caleo relationship is, in my eyes, doomed to failure, or at least heavily flawed after taking the above points into account. Uncle Rick, as if seemingly aware of these criticisms, has put the relationship in a rocky place by The Tower of Nero, giving them the possibility of overcoming the above criticisms and their own flaws, or giving fanfic writers an out and pairing Leo with another character or have him single, but happy. Either way, in my opinion Caleo is a bad ship when it comes to how it was created, alongside the flaws and unfortunate implications it has.

While I can see some of the chemistry the ship has, you can’t just use a couple of moments where they get along as evidence that they belong together, especially with the above reasons. That’s like using a band-aid to cover a bullet hole without removing the bullet, stopping the bleeding, and preventing infection. If both characters and their relationship had been given more time to develop, I would understand how they would get together. 

Leonardo x Reader- Oneshot (TMNT 2014/2016)

So in honor of black history month, I decided to write this Fanfiction. 

As a black woman, it is important to recognize and be proud of who I am. And to all the beautiful black women out there, be proud and thankful for all we’ve achieved. I hope my readers will enjoy this little fiction as much as I liked writing it. There is also a little information about my hometown in this.

Enjoy!! 

"Hey Leo did I leave my.."

"Right here."

Leo was holding your pack of hair ties in his hand. He smiled, and you flushed, taking it with a small thanks.

"You saved my life, I always lose these. Just bought them too." You were so excited for the movie night yesterday that you came right from the store with everything that you shop for that evening. So of course when you got home and couldn't find them, you assumed you left it with the turtles.

"Alright guys quit flirting." Raph buzzed passed, and at that moment you were thankful for your dark skin, because it would be that more embarrassing if Leo could see you blush. Leo brushed off the comment, just shrugging his brother off.

"Don't mind him, he's just mad cause Mikey beat him again in Mario Kart." you giggle, following Leo to the living room.

Easy days like this were nice. Saturdays were what you looked forward to. Friday nights you'd all get together and watch a movie, and Saturdays were reserved for pure relaxation. You moved over taking a seat next to Mikey, and his grin grew wide as he looked at you. You smiled, despite your slight confusion. "Do I have something on my face?" you chuckle.

"Nah brah, it's just your hair." your eyes widened, and you reached over wondering if maybe it was getting unruly again. "Oh crap is it crazy!" you asked, self consciously. You had it loose today, curls falling at the sides. It was puffy and curly at the same time. Almost like a kinky afro. Generally you'd pull your hair back in a high bun, or even a side one. But you couldn't find your ties earlier, and you were really not feeling it to comb through it today.

"Are you kidding! Your hair is amazing, everytime you come it's like in a different style." This time, you were surely blushing. "O-Oh..thank you..." It was no secret that you had untamed hair. You loved it though. Growing up there were people that made you feel a bit insecure about it. Most of the kids at your school had such tamed and straight hair, while you had curly kinky locks. At times it was a challenge styling it, and it did take a while on most days just to get it under control, but it's what made you, you. Your hair was your heritage, your strength.

Leo was watching you from his spot, and he couldn't help but agree with Mikey. It wasn't just your hair that was different, it was everything. He remembered the first time he asked Master Splinter about the differences in humans. He was a kid, probably nine or ten. He didn't know much but what he'd seen Donnie show him when they'd sneak to the surface to peek through the drains.

Looking back he realized just how everyone varied. Hair, skin, eyes. It was so fascinating to him. He loved it all. The diversity, to him it was incredible. As sad as humanity was sometimes, there were occasions that they would surprise him. The world was far from perfect, but there were moments where unity just inspired him to fight harder for the citizens.

You were a clear example of that. Meeting you was not just eye opening but also educational. He'd forever be willing to learn new cultures. So whenever you gave him or his brothers a small history lesson when they questioned something you did or said, he found that he was that more intrigued by you. They'd known you for just a few months, yet it felt like years of friendship. They were still learning more about you, everyday. Now that he thought about it, you weren't born in New York.

"(Y/N), you said you were born in the Caribbean right?"

The way your face spark to life never fails to make his heart pick up.

"That's right, I'm surprised you remembered that. Think I told Mikey the second time we met. He wanted to know why I talked so funny."

"Yeah, what was the name of your country again." Raph questioned from across the room. He was presently doing pull ups on the metal bar.

"Trinidad and Tobago. That's where I was raised, I moved here with my parents four years ago."

"Dude say that thing you did last time." Mikey called excitedly. You rolled your eyes.

"What thing?" Leo asked curiously.

"The way they say what's up is so cool. (Y/N) says it's english but it sounds completely different."

Now Leo really wanted to hear. His sapphire gaze turned on you, and you nibbled on your lip.

"I-It's isn't anything great it's just a greeting."

"I'd like to hear, if you don't mind of course."

You didn't mind at all. Leo was your weakness.

"Wais de scene."

"Seee!! You can't tell me that's english!"

Mikey was jumping up off the chair laughing and now so were you.

"You sounded different too." Leo notes. Your accent was different from the New York drawl he used too. It was nice.

"Can you tell us more." He really did love to learn, and maybe just between him, he kind of liked your native tongue.

~~~~~~

The boys were on patrol, so you figured you'd have more time to yourself. You opted for taking a shower. You'd gotten out a few minutes ago and now you were spraying your hair with olive oil as you ran your fingers through the curls. Your hand shifted to the small container of hair food, dipping in and placing it on your scalp, making sure to get it through the roots. You were glad Leo placed this mirror in his room. You had no idea why though. He didn't seem like the self absorbed type.

"I knew it would come in handy." His voice startled you a little. He closed the door on entry, and you dropped your hands. "H-Hey, I'm sorry I didn't think you guys would be back yet. I wasnt messing with your stuff or anything I just need to use the mirror and yours is so big so I thought why not and I-"

"You don't have to explain yourself, I asked Donnie to set it up here for you." you raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you're here a lot, and I know girls like styling their hair. I was hoping I'd finally get to see you actually doing it. I've always been curious about how you get it to look so beautiful."

He really did know what to say to make your heart flutter.

Damn that smooth talker.

"Gosh, are you guys on a mission to embarrass me today, you've been complimenting me since this morning and it isn't even my birthday. " you pulled your hair up into a high bun, reaching for a hair tie to keep it in place.

"Wait!" you froze, looking at him.

"S-Sorry I just...I like the way it looks when you leave it down. It's so puffy, kind of cute..." his words trailed off, and you slowly dropped your hand.

"W-Well I guess if you like it then I don't mind. " you couldn't maintain eye contact, so you turned to the items in front of you. Closing the lids of both hair products, you shift over to the sink you wash your hands from the oily substance. When you were done, you reached for the hand cloth, before you could grab it, Leo was behind you, and his hand rested gently over your palm. Your body stilled, pulse increasing.

"Leo.." it was said with so much uncertainty. You weren't sure how things got to this, heck, you weren't expecting it, but you weren't complaining. His hands ran down your arms slowly. With your back still facing him, there wasn't much you could do but hope your breathing wasn't too labored. You'd spent so long trying to keep your feelings for him under wraps. If nothing but to ensure you didn't risk your friendship. Right now though, friendship was far from your thoughts.

"I wasn't being completely forward earlier, it isn't just your hair that's beautiful. " Your heart gave a thump, and when he urged you around slowly, you couldn't bring yourself to look away from him. "Your hair, skin, eyes, lips.." the last word was said longingly, and you swallowed the lump in your throat. "It's a challenge for me sometimes, I envy Mikey's ability to just say what's on his mind. I can barely look at you for too long, otherwise I'm afraid how much harder it'll be for me to hold back." So he was holding back too, geez, and here you thought this attraction was purely one sided.

"What if I..don't want you to hold back Leo.." His blue eyes glimmered, and you swore your knees would buckle just from the intensity of his stare. His hand raised to your cheek, and you released a sigh. How many times did you imagine this scenario in your head. Hundreds? Maybe thousands.

"Then I won't." he closed the space with those three words, and you leaned into it. Leo's arms were secured around your waist as his soft lips covered your own. Your hands gripped at his shoulders, and you tried to keep them from venturing. If they strayed, you weren't sure you'd be able to trust yourself not to grope every inch of his taunt muscular body. The kiss started off slow, innocent even. It was your first one together. You were both trying to savor it. Having longed for this, it felt like a dream.

After a few moments, that tentative demeanor changed to one of dominance and hunger, one that needed to be satisfied. Leo backed you up, not breaking the kiss for even a mere second. Leo's hand around your waist moved to the small of your back, and you gasped when it landed on your butt. He heard the sound, pulling back.

"Should..I..stop.." he forced out between pants. You shook your head, diving back in. Leo groaned, giving your cheek an appreciative squeeze. The action made you open your mouth, and his tongue slipped in. You moaned, and Leo took another step forward, this time he turned, and you let out a soft sound when he fell back in the bed, pulling you with him. He barely seemed affected, taken by the sensations.

You straddled his body, parting to admire his hazed look. Your chest was still heaving, and you wanted nothing more than to join your lips again, but you just liked looking at him. Those azure orbs that were almost penetrating you. His hand ran up your thigh, and he smirked at the way you bit down on your lip.

"Did I mention that I like chocolate?"

You giggle, "I sort of figured it out hotshot." you snark back. You squeaked when he suddenly switched positions. You were now bound to the bed, literally. He pinned both your wrists, that confident smile never leaving.

"I also like being in control." That comment did wild things to your body. You didn't mind at all. He pressed into you, and you whimpered needy. "L-Leo.." you wanted him, needed him now.

"Don't worry, I'd never leave you all hot and bothered, no matter how arousing it is to watch."

"Stop talking and kiss me!"

"So bossy." He taunted.

"Leo!"

He leaned down, giving your neck a soft kiss.

"Save your voice, you're gonna need it."

You gulped, and Leo took your breath away before you could fully think about it.

You were in store for a very...busy night.

The long awaited sleepover

You were sitting at home in front of the tv watching a movie when your phone started buzzing. It was a message from your boyfriend Kun.

💞My hottie💞

女嬰, we got some time off our schedule! We'll be home the whole weekend.. Do you wanna come over?😉

Y/n

Oh! Yeah of course!☺️ I'll come in a bit😉 Btw, I'll bring some clothes in case I can stay the night over there😅

With that you turned off the tv and walked to your bathroom to take a quick shower. After the shower you decided to put on some nice lingerie, just in case something were to happen. You and Kun had not really done anything intimate yet. It was one time where you two got to a heated make out session, but that got interrupted by Yangyang walking in his bedroom by accident. Actually you don't even know if it was an accident, because you could hear laughter after he had left the room that time.

Since you had met his members many times you felt quite comfortable, so you decided to just put on some grey sweatpants and a black printed t-shirt to go with it. It was actually a band t-shirt, with the ACDC logo on it. You just bought it one time because you thought it looked cool. After grabbing some extra clothes, your pyjamas, hairbrush and your toothbrush, you turned off the lights and locked the door to your apartment. You then went to the car and drove off to the dorm WayV stayed in.

••••••at the dorm••••••

The guys were sitting spread out in the living room in their comfy clothes playing games and talking. Lucas, Hendery and Winwin were playing a video game. Xiaojun, Yangyang and Ten was playing with Loui, and Kun was sitting in a chair scrolling through his phone. That's when he came to think of you and decided to send you a message.

Kun

女嬰, we got some time off our schedule! We'll be home the whole weekend.. Do you wanna come over?😉

💞女嬰💞

Oh! Yeah of course!☺️ I'll come in a bit😉 Btw, I'll bring some clothes in case I can stay the night over there😅

He felt a smile creep up on his face. Finally he was gonna see his girlfriend again. It felt like an eternity since the last time, because his schedule was so busy. As he thought about you, he went in the kitchen to clean up a bit. It shouldn't look like he and the guys had been away for a month if his girlfriend was coming to visit. Xiaojun noticed this and wondered why he was going to clean the kitchen now, after all they were going to have lunch in a few minutes.

To get an answer he followed Kun into the kitchen. "Why are you standing there washing the bench when we are gonna eat in a few minutes?" Xiaojun asked curiously. Kun turned around to face him as he spoke. "Oh, that is because my girlfriend is coming over." Kun smiled at him. Xiaojun was surprised and happy at the same time. He stormed off into the living room informing everyone about the news. This left Kun a little shocked but amused since he knew how much they missed y/n too.

There was not much that changed in the living room when Xiaojun came running in there, informing everyone that y/n was coming to the dorm. Lucas and Hendery was sitting in the sofa playing a video game, Winwin was sitting in a chair next to Lucas waiting for his turn, and Yangyang was sitting on the floor opposite of Ten, playing with their cat Loui. No one seemed to pay attention to what Xiaojun was saying, except for Ten. He heard the news and got really excited, so he stood up and decided to help Kun clean the kitchen so that it would take less time. For what he knew, y/n could stand outside the door at any minute.

••••••at the dorm••••••

You parked your car in the driveway and got your stuff, before walking up to the front door. You waited patiently after ringing the doorbell, and a few seconds later you were met by seven smiling men standing in front of you. Seeing that all of them were wearing comfortable clothes just like you, made you relax, since you were a little nervous if they had dressed up just because you were coming over.

As you walked inside you gave all of them a hug. However, when you were going to hug Kun, he took his arms around you and kissed you softly instead. The kiss got a little deepened, but not so much to make it into a make out session. He then took a step back to admire your pretty face before he took your bag and put it in his room. You followed the other guys into the living room, and sat down in the sofa next to Hendery. All of the others sat on their previous places except for Lucas who sat on the floor in front of you, and Xiaojun who sat in a chair next to Winwin.

The guys started talking with you and after a few minutes, Kun came back and sat down by your left side. You were now sitting in the sofa with Kun to your left and Hendery to your right, talking to everyone about all and nothing. Suddenly Yangyang spoke up. "You guys I'm bored. Do you want to play a video game or something?" Everyone agreed, and eventually you decided to take turns on playing Super Mario Smash Bros. You were so focused when you played that you didn't notice Kun admiring your face and the little things you did, like sticking your tongue out a little and making weird faces if you messed up.

Time had gone by fast and none of you thought about food until your stomach started rumbling. Ten looked at you and was disappointed in himself and the other guys. "I just realised now that we forgot to eat lunch, and now y/n is hungry. Maybe we should order or make dinner because it's been a while since we should have eaten lunch?" With that he stood up and walked to the kitchen, Kun followed shortly after while you and the others continued playing. "Let's just order some food, that is quicker." Kun said to Ten who was holding his phone, ready to dial the number of a takeout place.

They ordered some sushi because Kun knew you loved it. After a short while the food came to the dorm and everyone gathered around the dining table. "Oh sushi! My favourite!" You said as your face lit up. Kun looked at you and became proud of himself after seeing how happy you got. With that everyone enjoyed the food together and made some jokes and had a good time.

After a while all of you decided to watch a movie. Winwin made popcorn and Yangyang chose the movie. As if you read his mind he put on a horror movie. You had mixed feelings about those. Some were scary for you and some were a little boring. But this movie you thought were scary, he had of course put on The Nun because he knew how much you hated that character. When you realised this you glared at him, but he just stuck his tongue out at you. Kun noticed this and smirked at you. He leaned in and whispered in your ear "don't worry baby, I'll protect you" and then winked as you faced him with a loving expression on your face.

Xiaojun came back with the popcorn and the movie started. For most of the time you were hiding in Kuns chest, only peeking at the tv once in a while. He smiled at you and put his arms around you to make you feel safe, which worked really well. As the movie finally came to an end it was getting late. "I don't know about you but I'm getting sleepy, so I'll go to my room. Se you tomorrow morning guys." Lucas said as he stood up and went to his room. After that they left one at a time, and it was only you and Kun in the living room now.

You stood up to clean up the bowls you had used for popcorn, but Kun pulled you back down by your arm before you could even touch them. "What are you doing?" He said with a smirk on his face. You were a little flustered by the action but answered him in a shy tone "I was just going to clean up the bowls." You turned your head to show you meant the popcorn bowls.

Kun just shook his head a little, still smirking at you. "Baby you don't have to do that, besides I want you here, I've missed you so much." His eyes started to darken a little bit, but he still looked at you lovingly. His words made you blush and your face became bright red. You just sat there in front of him looking at his face. He sat there admiring you too leaning in little by little. When his nose was about to touch yours he said "you know I love it when I make you blush" he then leaned back to see your reaction.

Your eyes widened a little and when you thought your face could not get any redder, it did. Seeing your reaction made him make that attractive smile, and you could just melt right where you were sitting. "女嬰, why don't we continue this little thing we have started to the bedroom" Kun said while dragging you up with him from the sofa and walking towards his bedroom.

Once you stepped into his bedroom, your eyes scanned over the neatly made bed with marine sheets. Your heart started to beat a little faster at the thought of sleeping here tonight, but also at the sound of a door being locked. When you turned around Kun was leaning against the door with a dark look on his face, eyeing your body from head to toe. This made you bite your lip and look down at the floor shyly.

You could feel Kun walking towards you and lift up your chin to look him in the eyes. You stayed there for a bit, mesmerised in each others eyes before he opened his mouth to talk. "Do you want to do this y/n? It's okay if you say no, I've just missed you so much that I can't really help myself." You looked from his eyes to his mouth and up again, getting an urge to just wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him right there. Instead you just nodded your head as you couldn't get any words out.

He took your hand in his intervening your fingers, spinning you around so your back faced him. Not knowing what would happen next you just stood there, feeling him wrap an arm around your waist pressing his body to yours. By now you could feel your own body playing along, feeling the tingles in your nether region as you felt something extra press against your lower back or butt.

You felt Kun lean down to your ear and say "why don't you take off these unnecessary clothes for me, and I'll do the same for you" with a deeper voice than before. This made the warm feeling in your nether region become more intense. He put his lips to your neck, starting to kiss as he rubbed his fingers at your waist under your t-shirt.

After that he let you go and walked over to the bed. Before he sat down he took off his t-shirt, letting you see his muscular body and soft abs. At this point you could feel your core pooling up, and you could not stop staring at his perfect body. He noticed you staring and smirked. "Are you gonna stand there and enjoy the view all day? Or are you going to cooperate a little?" Hearing that you blushed before you took off your t-shirt.

Kun looked at your chest hungrily feeling a slight urge to touch you, but he just sat there waiting for you to take off the rest. Once your pants were off, he reached out his hand wanting you to take it. As you took his hand, he made you straddle him. You felt his bulge between your legs getting harder.

"I see you thought this might happen by the nice lingerie you are wearing" he smirked at you and scanned your body. You looked shyly into his eyes and answered. "Yeah, I just put it on just in case though" you felt him rest his hands on your hips as he leaned in and kissed you. The kiss started soft, but got deepened quickly. You felt his tongue ask for entrance as he licked your lips, and you decided not to give in.

His brows started furrowing by this wanting to gain the dominance, so he squeezed your butt. This made you gasp and he took this opportunity to sneak his tongue into your mouth. The kiss went on for a few minutes before you broke the kiss to get some air. Not wanting to waste any time he started sucking on your neck looking for your sweet spot. He started smiling against your neck once he heard a moan escape your mouth.

Kun kept sucking and gently biting that spot feeling your hands tighten on his shoulders. His mouth went lower and lower. Now he was kissing between your breasts, touching them at the same time. As if it was planned you felt your bra open and fall down between you and Kun. He stared at your chest admiring it. "女嬰 you look so beautiful" you just sat there slightly embarrassed looking anywhere than in his eyes.

He didn't waste a second after that and put his mouth on your right breast, fondling the other breast with his right hand. Your head flew back in enjoyment as a moan escaped your mouth yet again. Remembering that the other members were still there you put a hand over your mouth. Once Kun was finished with your breasts he noticed your hand and said

"baby girl they knew this might happen so don't worry they won't hear us tonight, you can let it all out for me." Hearing this you bit your lip looking at him. "Kun? Do you mind if I try something?" His eyes darkened a little more shaking his head to tell you that you could do anything you wanted.

You kissed him passionately eventually moving down to his neck, but you were not stopping there. As you went lower down his abs you felt him leaning back a little enjoying what you were doing. You looked up at him once you heard a low moan escape his mouth, and the sight of him enjoying what you were doing excited you.

You looked up at his face to see how he reacted while you licked his abs and started palming him through his sweatpants. The feeling of his hardened member made your core pulse, and his expression did not make you less excited. You were getting needy now so you tugged at his pants wanting them off. Kun understood what you wanted and lifted his hips for you to take off his pants and boxers with them.

The sight of his rock hard member standing proud made you widen your eyes, you looked almost terrified because of how big and thick it was. Kun looked at you reassuringly and said "baby it's alright, if you are scared we can take this in your pace." You thought for a second but shortly after proceeded with what you wanted to do. You wrapped a hand around his length watching his expression turn into a pleasured one as you started rubbing him.

He looked down at your face and you looked up at him, licking his member from bottom to top. It was the best thing he had seen ever, and it got even better when you put his member into your mouth sucking him as your hand worked on the part you could not fit. Kuns head tilted back as a long moan escaped his mouth followed by your name. You could feel him wanting to take control as his hips bucked upwards a little to match your pace.

You realised by now that he was close, and therefore started to suck harder around his member not caring if he took control. "Baby I'm about to cum" Kun said with a heavy breath. You continued sucking him off and after a few more seconds you could feel his member starting to throb in your mouth, shooting his load down your throat. Once you finished you swallowed it all down and looked at Kun a little exhaustingly. He was a little surprised by what you had just done, but a smirk creeped onto his face again faster than lightning.

"女嬰 you were so good, how about I'll reward you for what you just did?" He looked you in the eyes and flipped you over so that your back was against the sheets and he was on top now. He kissed you passionately and went down to your breasts as his hand started to rub your clothed clit. You let out a louder moan than before and bucked your hips upwards as a reflex. Kun was satisfied by this and kissed you lower and lower until he closed up on your core.

You wanted him to touch you there so bad again, but instead he kissed your inner thighs teasing you. Kun looked you in the eyes and said "tell me what you want me to do baby." You wined impatiently and made an expression that said how annoyed you were as if it wasn't obvious what you wanted him to do. While waiting for an answer he took off your panties and looked at your core, enjoying how wet he had made you.

You could feel his warm breath against your core, and it almost drove you crazy. "Kun please just touch me or something" he looked at you satisfied and lowered his face closer to your core. Putting his hands around your legs he widened them a little before licking your wetness. "Baby girl you taste so good" he said smirking up at you. Before you could say anything he dipped his tongue into you and worked on making you feel pleasured. This made you arch your back as a loud moan escaped your mouth.

Your hands intervened with his hair and tugged a little bit. For a second you felt Kun stop, but the emptiness where his tongue once was got replaced with a finger. He looked at you satisfyingly as you closed your eyes and moaned his name over and over again. He then proceeded to put another finger into you, pushing them in and out a little faster as he licked your clit now and then. This was making you go crazy, and you started to squirm a little under him. "Kun omg, I'm.. about to.." before you could finish a loud moan escaped your mouth and your core tightened around his fingers.

He slowed down his hand and eventually pulled out his fingers, watching your liquid make a string from your core to his fingers, before he put them in his mouth sucking them dry. You layed there with half closed eyes and heavy breaths, slightly looking at him you could see he was still hard. Before you could even move a finger, he got off the bed and went to his nightstand getting something out of it. You realised he was getting himself a condom once he opened the package and put in on. This made you excited again, and it was as if you just had gained a ton of energy back in your body.

Your eyes kept following his every move when he walked back to the bed. Kun looked at you with hungry eyes as he said "女嬰 from now on you are only allowed to call me daddy, although I love the way my name sounds when you moan" you swallowed hard nodding your head at his request. As if it was a reflex your legs opened wider when he neared the bed, your were tempted to touch yourself, but didn't as you saw his expression turn to a serious one.

You didn't want to make him mad since you didn't know what kind of consequences that would give you. Instead you waited for him patiently. "Y/n you are such a good girl for me, this is gonna be the best night of your life" he said as he winked at you. Hearing this your core pooled up once again, and you felt the wetness almost dripping down and onto the covers. Kun placed himself between your legs and positioned his length at your core. "This might hurt a little since it is your first time, but I'll go slow on you okay? Although, once you get used to it I can't promise anything."

You felt Kun rub his tip against your core, your hips bucked upwards as you wanted more of him inside of you. He only smirked at this action and looked you straight into the eyes before pushing his length slowly into you. "Oh y/n you're so tight" Kun said seductively. You could feel him fill you up all the way slowly as a tear fell down your cheek. Kun noticed the tear and wiped it with his hand, kissing you to try distracting you from the pain.

Once he was fully inside he stayed still to let you adjust. After a few minutes you nodded at him, letting him know that he could move. Kun started to move in and out of you slowly, and now you could really feel how thick he was. Moans started to escape your mouth and this made Kun move faster and faster. He looked at your face all the time wanting to see how good he made you feel. "Oh daddy you feel so good and thick" you managed to say between moans. "Yes baby, I want to hear more of that" he answered.

By now Kun started moaning you name too. You started to feel a familiar feeling in your core, you felt your release coming close and so did Kun. "Daddy I'm close! You're gonna make me cum!" You said moaning and right then you felt him pull out of you. You just looked at him annoyed and needy but he just looked at you hungrily. With a low voice he said "女嬰 get on your hands and knees." You did as he said and a few seconds after you felt him pound his length all the way into you.

The sensational feeling made you scream as he now hit a spot he had not hit before. Kun held his hands on your hips as he thrusted into you with great force, feeling your core tighten around him more and more for every thrust. "Daddy you make me feel so good! You're going to make me cum soon!" You screamed has he pounded harder into you. "Me too baby girl! Just a little bit more and you can cum" he said while grunting. A few thrust after that you both came together. He felt your core tighten around him and hold him still as you came, you could feel him throbbing inside you and spill his seeds into the condom.

Once both of you could relax he pulled out and threw away the condom in a trash can, he then came back to bed and put the covers over the both of you. "Y/n I love you so much, finally we got to do what we've been waiting to do for a long time." Kun kissed your forehead and wrapped his arms around you lovingly. You rested against his chest as you said "I love you too Kun, this was the best night of my life." The two of you then fell asleep as you were exhausted from the activity you had been doing just a second ago.

Interview with Beastie Boys for Machina magazine, 07/1998

By: Rafał Bryndal

Translation: Anna Bak ( @styleiswild )

 -------------

Introduction: The party called Beastie Boys in Lisbon went on for two days. On the first day we (the journalists) were invited to the magical “Kremlin” club to listen to the new album [Hello Nasty]. I don’t think I have to explain how I felt knowing that I was possibly one of the first Polish people to listen to that phenomenal record. On the second day each of us got to meet the band in Hotel Ritz during the so-called “round-table.” It’s like a private conversation with the artists. It looks a bit like a coffee party at your aunt’s. (…) The whole meeting was just as absurd, in a positive way. The answers they gave us were often ironic, as one could expect.

R.B.: Don’t you think that being Beastie Boys is way cooler than being any other band in the world?

MCA: Unfortunately, we haven’t tried being a different band yet. So I can’t really answer your question.

Mike D: To be honest, there’s something to it. Maybe because we have so much fun working together. It’s not always fun, of course. We do work from time to time, but only sometimes.

R.B.: It seems like you work on your albums for fun and pleasure exclusively?

Mike D: I think it’s because we don’t release them that often.

Ad-Rock: Yes… Yes, you must be right, man.

Ad-Rock: Yes… Yes, you must be right, man.

MCA: Hey, we’d released Ill Communication after a two year break.

R.B.: Yeah, but this one took you four years.

MCA: Yeah, we had to level it out. It takes us three years most of the time.

R.B.: You grew up together. Are you always on such good terms with one another?

MCA: Sometimes there’ll be tripartite fights. Not sure you’ve ever seen what it looks like when three people fight each other. Each of them against the other two. That happens sometimes. Rarely, though. To be honest, we don’t really argue much.

R.B.: Your new album seems a bit like a departure from The In Sound from Way Out!

Mike D: Hello Nasty is a collection of a dozen or so songs, each of them stylistically different. That’s why you can’t really compare it to our previous releases. I guess, though, that at least two of the songs would’ve worked well as instrumentals on the previous album.

R.B.: How do you deal with the new technologies in music?

Mike D: Technology is present in all genres today and you can’t run from that. Music evolves largely thanks to the new technology. Especially hip hop music. We do it like the true rappers do, which means we start with a drum machine, then we put it on a loop, and then we use digital delay system. That’s one of the newest inventions. Technology is unpredictable, because people – who are its creators – have no clue about what the artists can do with it.

R.B.: Is it true what they say on the internet? That this album is the first one of the three that you’ve recorded lately?

MCA: You’ve really heard about that?

Mike D: Gosh, you can’t keep anything secret today.

Ad-Rock: Three? To be honest, we’ve got many more albums recorded.

Mike D: The last one of the three is a country album. The genre is so popular that you can’t really keep such a record a secret anymore. Especially when you’re in Manhattan and you walk around in a cowboy fit, it’s suspicious as hell. Because there aren’t many cowboys in Manhattan. People see a guy in a cowboy fit and assume that he has to be working on a country album.

R.B.: Is it really so important for your clothes to fit the style of your music?

MCA: You identify with your music more when you dress up. People often cheat, they wear clothes that don’t fit the music they play.

R.B.: So what kind of clothes did you guys wear when working on Hello Nasty?

MCA: I wore a bat girl costume.

Ad-Rock: I dressed up as a scared woman.

Mike D: I’d wear a bathing suit, because I wanted to go swimming all the time.

Ad-Rock: We couldn’t really find what we were looking for at first. We tried on a range of fits and finally found those that went well with our music.

R.B.: You’ve been popular with skateboarders. It’s a group of people who wear unique clothes and listen to a lot of your music, as it seems. Do you identify with this subculture?

MCA: I don’t think it’s just that one subculture. There are a few more we’d like to identify with.

Mike D: For me it’s long gone. Skateboarding isn’t much of an extreme or exclusive kind of sports discipline anymore. It’s become very popular.

R.B.: You’ve worked with Lee “Scratch” Perry on the new album. Can you tell me what kind of benefits did that bring you?

Mike D: It’s hard to say, but we’ve always been pretty impressed with his work on dub music. He’s also inspired Mario Caldato, our studio engineer. For me, Lee is an artist of science, a living fucking legend.

R.B.: Do you think that you can inspire young musicians?

MCA: Sure, but that’s a normal thing, right? If music is evolving as a part of culture, then everything and everyone inspires that process. We’re happy that we can be a part of that culture to some degree.

R.B.: A lot of white kids have gotten into rap music thanks to “Rhymin’ & Stealin’.” At least that’s what happened to me…

MCA: As a white kid… Right, it’s hard to be a black kid in Finland.

Mike D: We discovered hip hop when we were thirteen or fourteen. We’d go and see Public Enemy and bands like that. We were totally enchanted. It’s not that weird that kids who listen to us want to do the same thing.

R.B.: Some people say that you don’t like it when other artists sample your music. Some say that you’re more liberal, though.

MCA: It all depends on how the sample is used. If it’s creative, then we’re here for it. But if they go and copy our own ideas, and the whole track revolves around that idea, then we’re obviously pissed off.

R.B.: Are you as satisfied with making music as you’re with your magazine and your record label?

MCA: It’s all really about creating something new, publishing the mag, recording albums or playing gigs… We’re really into humanitarian work, too. Sure, the music is the most important thing of all. Nobody knows where it comes from, it’s hard to define the process of making music. It comes from subconsciousness.

R.B.: I’ve heard that you were to make a movie based on your “Sabotage” video?

Mike D: Unfortunately, that’s not true.

MCA: It doesn’t change the fact that we’re planning to make a movie…

R.B.: About what?

MCA: You can actually watch it in the cinema already, because Spice Girls had stolen our screenplay and made it their own.

R.B.: In the 80s there were a lot of humanitarian aids, like benefit concerts during which quite a lot of money got lost for a very simple reason. Those actions were organized on such a grand scale that it was nearly impossible to control the funds. Aren’t you scared that the same thing can happen to your organization?

MCA: Free Tibet is there to help people find out about the issue and educate them on it. The money that we get helps us organize the Tibetan Freedom Concerts. It’s not like those other actions from the past that were strictly about collecting funds.

R.B.: Do you believe that the bands you invite to play consider the gigs something more than simply another type of self-promotion?

MCA: I feel that most of those artists are really moved by the issue we’re trying to bring to people’s attention.

R.B.: You’re fighting for free Tibet, while recently it’s been 50 years since the State of Israel was formed. And Palestinians are fighting for their rights to be respected. Why have you taken on Tibet and not Palestine?

MCA: Tibetans’ fight is based on the idea of non-violence. It’s a peaceful fight. The contrast between the brutality of the Chinese government and that quiet fight of Tibetans does make an impression, and that’s why we’re popularizing the ideas behind the Tibetan struggle. We believe that the non-violent, peaceful act is the only logical way of dealing with the issue.

R.B.: Even if the peaceful fight ends up leading to the extinction of Tibetan culture?

MCA: The same thing will happen if Tibetans decide to use violence as a means to gain their freedom.

R.B.: Is it true that your music is banned in Hong Kong?

MCA: That’s right. We can’t play there. Our albums can’t be sold on their market. All of the bands playing for Milarepa are banned from performing in China.

R.B.: You’ve met Dalai Lama on several occasions. Does he like your music?

MCA: Dalai Lama doesn’t listen to pop music at all. Lots of bands give him their CDs. He takes them because he doesn’t want them to feel bad, but he won’t give them a listen.

Ad-Rock: That’s why he stores so many demos at home.

R.B. What is Dalai Lama like?

MCA: He’s fantastic. He’s a great role model, representing all of the values people associate with Tibetan culture, with Buddhism. He’s got great charisma. He oozes calmness that comes from the respect he has for everyone.

R.B. What’s his opinion on Tibetan Freedom Concert?

MCA: He thinks it’s an excellent way of spreading his word. For him, the concert is a kind of holiday.

R.B.: As far as I know, you have a slightly different view on the future of Tibet. He wants to negotiate with the Chinese government about Tibet’s legal right to autonomy in China, while you fight for total freedom for Tibet as a sovereign country. Is that true?

MCA: It’s related to his view on the type of fight. He’s so scared of any form of violence that he’s ready to negotiate with the Chinese government. He’s choosing the lesser of two evils, that’s what he’s doing. We’re in a completely different situation, though. As American citizens, we want to speak with our government about freedom for Tibet. We believe that Tibetans should be free and we want to encourage the government to take action to help Tibetans gain autonomy.

R.B.: The “Sabotage” music video was unique and quite shocking. Are your new clips going to be equally as original?

Ad-Rock: It’s gonna be some good shit.

MCA: We had lots of fun working on it. The “Sabotage” video had a lot to do with the song, though. Our new clips won’t have anything to do with the songs. They can be treated as independent short features. We plan to make a couple more totally different clips.

R.B.: You’ve been a band for so long that you must be best friends and not only, let’s say, collaborators. Can you please describe one another?

Mike D: Adam Horovitz is, to use basketball terminology, the play maker. He shows us how we’re supposed to play because he’s the one in charge of the balls. Sometimes he can’t score from a distance, though. Adam Yauch, on the other hand, is a very unusual power forward. His style is completely devoid of aggression, unlike Karl Malone’s. Or Charles Barkley’s. He can dull his opponent’s vigilance with his slow moves and get all the points.

Ad-Rock: Mike is an idiot and a thief. Yauch is a liar. I’m as cool as James Bond.

Mike D: Some people might say that we’re CSC. Crazy Sexy Cool. And that’s what we wanna be.

R.B.: Can you explain your record cover? You’re in a tin and you look like sardines.

Mike D: Doesn’t it sound pretty? “Sardine tin”? It’s almost like a big surprise. You open the tin and it turns out that people’s lives are similar to the life of sardines.

MCA: Maybe this album was recorded by sardines and you’re now talking to them? Who does know?  

Hi ao idk if your matchups are still open but I would just like to send mine just in case and if you they are closed, could you do mine when you open them?🥺 ANYWAYS. Imma introduce myself :)

My name is Cecilia, and my pronouns are she/they! I am a Aries, im Bi and im a ENFP. When it comes to the physical aspects, I am 5'8, I have brown hair, brown eyes and I have freckles on my face. Also I'm kinda blind lol I use glasses bc I can't see shit without them 😃. I'm chubby and I have the fear of accidentally squishing people if I sit on their laps or if they carry me 😀. When someone meets me for the first time you will either get the first impression that im a rude and sarcastic person that doesn't care about anyone and I will kill you OR I am one of the nicest human beings that you will ever meet on the planet earth. There isn't really a in-between. BUT, usually when I warm up to people I can be really chaotic and fun, tho I am really sarcastic so people really won't be able to save themselves from my snarky remarks :) . I really like to listen to music, read, ride my bike,, write poetry, play video games and watch movies (preferably romantic movies or horror movies). I also enjoy learning new languages and for now I speak 3 (Spanish (which is my native one), English and Russian. I'm trying to learn Japanese). I hate strawberries and thunderstorms. UwU idk if you take preferences for what characters people want for matchups, but my preferences are yaku, suna, yamaguchi, or akaashi.

Ok thanks ily and take care! 🥺💓

Romantic Matchup

Suna Rintarou

A/N Ok so he was actually a candidate for your matchups so when you said he was one of your preferences I was like why not 👀

How Y’all Met

So you we’re actually Atsumus gaming buddy

You guys were a very chaotic duo 😊

but you guys would often just play video games together

So when Suna ACTUALLY agreed to come play video games at his house with him

He thought he would invite you too

Yk for shits and giggles

Things started off pretty smoothly

Y’all just played Mario kart together

Then the smack talk started...

You started throwing little jabs about Sunas playing

Which started to rile him up

Causing the game to get a little...intense

Honestly Atsumu didn’t even know what was happening anymore

One minute y’all were laughing together

But now you could cut the tension with a knife

Eventually it was just you and suna going head to head in the game

Unfortunately a text from your parents distracted you for a split second and he won 😔

You had to go home anyways so you started to pack your stuff

But before leaving the house you pointed at suna and said

“Nice playing, but you just got lucky. I’ll beat you next time”

And left

If you had stayed a little longer you would’ve seen the pink that dusted Sunas cheeks 👀

Before he took his leave he asked suna for your number

Which earned him a couple of teases from the blonde twin

But in the end he got it

And the first thing he sent you was a challenge to 8 ball

And the text

“You said you’d beat me next time, so let’s see about that”

Which began the start of your glorious friendship

Eventuality poor Atsumu got replaced as your gamer buddy

And suna took his place 👀

Suna had feelings for you since he first met you

But never said anything

But a certain blabber mouth twin did...

Atsumu had noticed how much you two we’re hanging out

So being the little snitch he is ratted his friend out

He literally just flat out told you that suna liked you

This info was obviously a little shocking

But you wouldn’t deny that you were a little pleased 👀

You’ve also developed feelings for suna

So YOU confessed to HIM

And of course he agreed 🙄

What They Love About You

He loves how sassy you are

This mans can be a sassy little shit too

So it’s cool that he found someone who can match his energy

And take a couple of teases every now and then

Awww

He loves your freckles

He legit thinks their the cutest thing ever

Oh and he LOVES your height

It’s just perfect in comparison to his

Hugs are never awkward yk

Favorite Things To Do Together

Omg

He loves to watch horror movies with you

Like full on horror movie marathons

Oof and god forbid you actually get scared

Because first of all he’ll tease the shit out of you

But then he’ll go on about how he’ll “protect you”

He still likes to play video games with you!

But be warned...

These moments get VERY competitive

He also just likes to chill with you and listen to music

Every time you do that you get to pick a song then he gets to pick a song

Fun timessss

Random Hc

His favorite horror movie is The Shining

For ONE reason only

Because you always get a little jittery after watching it

So he loves to just pop out from behind a corner and yell

HERES JOHNNY

He honestly thinks it’s the funniest shit ever

He was this 🤏 close to beating the s h i t out of Atsumu for telling you how he felt

But he didn’t

Cause he ended up with you ❤️

He will literally pick you up outta NOWHERE

just to get a reaction out of you 🥲

Astrology

When Aries and Aquarius come together in a love match, the combination of Aquarius vision and Aries action makes them a highly creative pair.

Their relationship is anything but static; they can be competitive, but life with these two is never dull!

Zodiac Signs that are two apart tend to have a special connection, and these are no exception.

They are great friends as they communicate really well.

They have a special understanding of one another’s idealistic, enthusiastic outlook on life.

They both crave excitement and new experiences — the wilder and stranger, the better.

They’re both into thrills and showing off.

Many Aries-Aquarius relationships are based on mutual admiration.

Aries loves how unique Aquarius is, their inventive vision of the world; Aquarius loves Aries for their energy and initiative — Aquarius gets new ideas all the time but sometimes finds it hard to carry them out.

Since both Signs prize independence, Aries’s tendency toward possessiveness can push Aquarius to become aloof or detached as a self-preservation tactic.

Though they have that special connection, they do see the world in very different lights, which they both need to understand.

Aries can be too involved for Aquarius’s taste, and Aquarius in turn may be too unpredictable for Aries.

As it turns out, Aquarius is the one Sign that has Aries beat when it comes to spontaneity!

As long as both partners reassure each other that the relationship is important and secure, things will be just fine.

Can’t Keep My Hands To Myself

Pairing: Park Seonghwa x Reader Warnings: Slight dom!Hwa, handjobs, blowjobs, fingerings, teasing, someone is left unsatisfied ohoho Summary: What better way to determine if Seonghwa has a crush on you or not by teasing him during a movie night with the rest of the boys? Part 2 Admin Fizzy here, bringing you the first smutty Ateez fic~

“I mean I could, but why would I want to?” --

You already had an inkling of suspicion that Seonghwa liked you. From the way he would always offer some of his food, to placing a hand on your back when you guys were walking through a crowd, to those half second too long stares he would give you...

You had a feeling that maybe he saw you a little more as a friend.

And that all came to truth when one day you were hanging out with the boys at their place, eating food and playing video games. 

You were already trying to confirm it for yourself, by purposely sitting a little too close to him, leaning a bit too forward to seem like you were really getting into the game, making sure he had a good view of your backside. You swore you heard his breath hitch. 

You finished another round of Mario Kart, standing up to get more drinks from the kitchen and asking if anyone wanted. You got a few confirmations and Hongjoong got up as well to help you out. When you got to the kitchen you opened the fridge and grabbed a few soda cans, stopping in your tracks when you noticed Hongjoong giving you a look.

“What?”

He gave you a ‘really?’ expression, before crossing his arms and jerking his head back towards the living room.

“You know he likes you right?” 

You feigned confusion and cocked your head to the side, bringing your eyebrows together.

“He, who?” 

“Y/n...”

“Hongjoong...”

He sighed and walked to you to grab the drinks. He grabbed 3 from you before opening his mouth again. 

“Just go easy on him okay? I don’t know how much more of your teasing he can take.” 

“I simply do not know what you mean Hongjoong.” You shrugged lightly and turned to walk back to the others, not noticing Hongjoong shake his head and quietly chuckle at you. 

You passed out the drinks when you suddenly got an idea. Wooyoung was sitting on the couch next to the one you and Seonghwa were on and he was the last one to get his drink. You sat back down in your spot next to Seonghwa before stretching your whole body across him to pass the drink to Wooyoung. You felt his body freeze up at you and you swear you heard him choke when you placed your hand on his thigh to balance yourself. “Here you go, Woo.”  Wooyoung gave you a bright smile before going back to face the screen. As you pulled back you made eye contact with Hongjoong who was giving you a small smirk and shaking his head. You simply cocked an eyebrow and leaned back in your seat, glancing to Seonghwa who had not moved an inch. “Oh, sorry Hwa. I didn’t want to fall over.” You whispered and placed a hand on his shoulder. He closed his eyes briefly before turning and giving you a small smile. “It’s okay y/n.”  You gave him a sweet smile before grabbing the controller and leaning back into the couch. After a couple of minutes he began to relax too, leaning back to join you and letting his shoulders slump a bit. When the round ended you asked if anyone wanted to play. Jongho raised his hand and you nodded at him. Jongho was sitting next to Wooyoung. So once again you leaned forward, this time ‘accidentally’ placing your inner arm quite close to Seonghwa’s crotch... His legs stiffened at your touch and you had to bite down on your lip to keep from snickering. When you pulled back you gave him an apologetic look, mouthing a “Sorry” before resuming your previous position. Seonghwa gripped onto his pants before quickly releasing his hold, smoothing his hands downward and folding them into his lap. “It’s fine y/n.” You guys played more Mario Kart before it started to get dark, someone in the group suggested watching a scary movie. While you heard a couple of groans across the room, ultimately everyone agreed. After getting some blankets, making sure to snag one for yourself, and turning the lights off you scrolled Netflix and settled on some paranormal movie. All was well in the beginning, nothing too scary happening yet until it reached that point in the movie when the family started noticing strange things. You decided to roll the blanket out and draped it across you, crossing your legs under you and making sure to put some over Seonghwa. He gave you a confused look before you whispered- “So you can protect me.” Seonghwa simply nodded before turning his attention back to the movie. A few more minutes passed and it reached that point when scary stuff was supposed to pop out. So that’s when you decided to put your plan into action. Both your lower halves were under the blanket so you started slow, placing your hand in between his and your leg, before lifting it up and delicately placing it on top of his hand that was on his lap. His hand twitched at first but calmed down and you locked your fingers on top of his, rubbing small circles into his skin. Seonghwa looked down and pressed his lips together before turning his hand over and interlocking your fingers. Your heart started beating rapidly, happy that he was reciprocating but also in excitement for what you were about to do next. After a few minutes, you unlocked your fingers and a flash of disappointment flashed Seonghwa’s face. You let your hand linger in the air for a few seconds before placing it near his crotch again. Seonghwa’s hand suddenly gripped onto your arm but didn’t pull your hand away. You took that as a sign to continue and moved your hand directly on top of his cock, pleasantly surprised to find it slightly hard. You heard Seonghwa take a sharp inhale, his fingernails beginning to dig into your skin. Keeping your gaze on the movie, you slowly began to move your fingers across his cock, feeling the shape more and more beneath his sweatpants. It only took a couple of more touches before he became fully erect, the warmth of it seeping from his pants and onto your palm. You looked at Seonghwa who was trying his hardest to focus on the movie, his teeth digging harshly into his bottom lip. You nudged him gently with your arm, making his attention go to you. “Are you okay?” You mumbled, making sure to give a glance at his lips that were shining with his saliva.  “Mhm...” he managed to strangle out. The hand that was holding onto you readjusted before going on top of yours, pressing your hand more into his member. You tried to contain your smile before snuggling closer to him, leaning your head into his shoulder.  You continued your previous movement, now adding a few squeezes into the mix. Seonghwa’s breathing started to become ragged, his hand left yours to grip onto your thigh.  You felt a wave of arousal shoot straight into your core whenever he would squeeze you. A part of you wanted to just say “fuck it” and fuck him right there in front of everyone, but the other half... Well, teasing was just too much fun. And you really wanted to do more so you stopped your movements before quickly gripping the waistband of his sweats, slipping your hand past them and his boxers. The warmth and feel of his cock made you want to moan in pleasure. You looked at Seonghwa whose mouth was hanging slightly open, hips trying not to buck under your hand. You pulled him out of his sweatpants, trying to keep your movements as small as possible to not alert everyone else as to what you were doing. Seonghwa’s head was leaning back a bit, the swallow he did causing his Adam’s Apple to bob up and down. God, did you want to just lean up and kiss and bite his neck all over. But all good things come with patience.  You began to move your hand up and down his cock, going to the head to spread the bit of pre cum that had leaked. While your hand moved up and down, you’d stop everyone in a while to squeeze him. One particular squeeze near the head caused Seonghwa to gasp out loud, but luckily a jump scare happened at the same time so it went by unnoticed by others.  He suddenly gripped harshly onto your thigh, leaning down to you to whisper. “I’m gonna cum, y/n.” His voice sounded so strained, and judging by the way his nails were cutting into your skin, you knew it would be a bad idea to stop right there. So with a quick bite to his shoulder, you resumed your movements.  “Fuck.” It was so quiet you almost didn’t catch it. Seonghwa’s grip on your thigh suddenly got tighter and right as he was about to cum— You stopped. Oh the look on Seonghwa’s face could have made you cum your panties right then and there. He looked at you with wide eyes, his lips swollen and plump from all the biting he was doing. Without breaking eye contact, you swept a finger across the head of his cock and gathered some pre cum, making sure to stare right into his eyes when you slowly slipped your finger into your mouth and licked it off. You put your hands on top of the blanket in your lap, not even bothering to look at Seonghwa’s shocked look at your actions. You pretended to focus on the movie for a couple of more minutes before quietly announcing that you were going to the bathroom, saying that they didn’t need to pause it. You stepped inside the restroom and looked at yourself in the mirror, taking note of the light blush on your cheeks. After waiting for a couple of minutes to pass by you opened the door and jumped when you saw Seonghwa waiting on the other side. Neither of you said anything for a couple of seconds before he suddenly began to back you up back into the bathroom. He locked the door and crossed his arms at you, leaning against the door to make sure you couldn’t get out. You casted a glance at his pants, feeling yourself become more wet at his bulge.  “What’s—“ “Do you think this is funny?” He interrupted you and your mouth snapped shut. The look in his eyes caused a chill to travel through your spine and straight into your core. “Do I think what is funny Seonghwa?” His lips pressed together before he took a deep breath. “Giving me a fucking handjob and then stopping right when I was about to cum?” You didn’t answer, instead choosing to lean against the sink and cross your arms to mock him. A couple of more seconds went by before he uncrossed his arms and began to palm himself through his pants. “Get over here.”  The authority in his voice made your knees quiver, your already damp panties becoming even more wet. You swallowed hard when he reached into his pants and pulled out his cock. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”  You inhaled a shaky breath before walking in front of him, making sure to press your chest against his. He stared down at you while stroking himself, looking at your lips before swooping down and kissing you.  The action made you stumble back a bit, but you regained yourself by grabbing his face, fully pressing yourself against him and feeling his cock against your stomach. Seonghwa placed his other hand on your neck, holding you in place as his lips moved against yours, teasing you with the tip of his tongue. His hand went into your hair and grabbed onto you, causing a hiss to leave your throat. He pulled you back before licking his lips and smirking at you, turning your head downwards to see him still running his hand up and down his cock. You felt him push down on you, his thumb grazing his pre cum and going up to swipe on your bottom lip. When you reached the floor you got to your knees and placed a hand on his cock and the other on his thigh. Seonghwa’s hand wound itself back into your hair while the other hung by his side. You dragged your mouth upwards, letting your tongue hang out to lick the entirety of his head. After a few more kisses you enveloped him entirely, taking your time to run your tongue wherever it could reach. Seonghwa’s fingers tightened, feeling just the faintest hint of your teeth grazing his skin. He could feel drool beginning to seep out of your mouth and coat his cock, the view causing his body to set on fire. Your head bobbed up and down, the hand on his thigh gripping him whenever he touched the back of your throat. At one point Seonghwa had felt his climax approaching once more. Wanting to make sure you didn’t pull the same stunt as last time, he put both hands on your face and held your head in place, causing you to stop.  His cock popped out of your mouth and you looked up at him through your lashes. You put a hand on him and lazily began to stroke. “I’m gonna cum and this time you’re going to let me.” That was all he said before he guided himself back into your mouth. You started up again, this time the harsh grip of Seonghwa’s hands in your hair pushing you to go faster. His hips started to jut into your mouth, quiet gasps and moans leaving his hips.  “Y/n, fuck—“ was all he managed to say before he suddenly let out a harsh groan, his cum shooting into your mouth and down your throat. He held you there while he rode out his climax, finally letting you go when he finished. You swallowed and opened your mouth to show him, a tired grin gracing his lips. He pulled you up and into a kiss, tasting himself and moaning into your mouth. He pulled away and gave you one last kiss before turning you and putting you against the door.  “Your turn.” He pulled your pants down and stuck his hand in between your legs, your arousal making him sigh in content. “You’re so wet, baby. Did all this teasing turn you on?” You gave him a weak nod, feeling your eyelids flutter when he started rubbing your clit.  “Let’s take care of that shall we?” And without warning he inserted two fingers into you, using his thumb to simultaneously rub at your clit. It didn’t take much for him to quickly bring you to your orgasm.  “Are you close, baby?”  He mumbled against your lips.You gave him a quiet “mhm”, feeling your legs starting to clamp shut from the pleasure. You were so close, you were right there, all you needed was a little push...  Suddenly his hand was gone and he was pulling away from you. You looked at him through hazy eyes, your eyebrows furrowing together in confusion. “Maybe next time I’ll let you cum.”  He shoved himself back into his pants and gave you a quick kiss before pulling you away from the door, opening it and stepping out into the hallway. He closed the door and left you there in your shocked state. Did he really just do that? You pulled your pants back up and walked to the sink to splash cold water onto your face. You could finish yourself off but you really wanted to feel Seonghwa’s fingers in you again. How ironic that Hongjoong told you to be the one to go easy on him. Perhaps it was a warning. With a sigh, you straightened yourself out and walked back to the living room, your panties sticking uncomfortably to your skin. 

A summarization of the 2012 Avengers fandom:

(To my knowledge obvi because I wasn’t around at that time tho I’m wishing I was…pretty much always)

*clears throat* Okay so—

Everybody lives in Stark Avengers Tower

Natasha knows all (canon tho lbr)

Thor being obsessed with pop tarts (…why?)

Team Bonding

(movie nights, team dinners, paintball, game nights, etc…)

Clint always in the in the vents

(most of the time spying on the main ship’s couple-y moments and reporting-spilling the tea- to ‘Tasha)

Speaking of which-

Calling Nat the nickname ‘Tasha (this one’s cute even tho it what usually just Clint)

But also not just the vents- top of the fridge as well and also a random bookcase for whatever reason..

Steve blushing…a lot

Thor having no concept of regular volume or an ‘inside voice’

(always shouting his sentences and-for whatever reason-always texts with the caps lock on)

Clint & Tony prank wars

Steve’s Puppy Dog EyesTM

Jarvis and Tony being bffs

Main action (in the fic) happening on the team common room

Tony constantly upgrading the other’s suits/gear

(because he cared and didn’t want anything to happen to them 🥺 but shush don’t tell 2012 tony that 🤫)

Natasha just always cleaning/sharpening her knives at the table(subtle threat/reminder she could f u up if you try something? Possibly)

Science bros to the extreme

(like wow some people really stressed that- always having them in the lab when someone couldn’t find them on the other floors)

Steve being the ‘Mom’ of the team

Steve always having to haul Tony out of his lab for team dinner

Bruce being the most comfortable and outspoken with Tony-he let’s that sassy side we all know he’s hiding, out- and especially in the lab (yep, circling back to science bros)

The team trying out the prototypes of Tony’s upgrades on their suits

(sometimes hilarious disasters occur 😆)

Tony always covered in grease(from the lab)

Clint being the only one allowed to do certain things with/to Nat while the others couldn’t and could only wonder how did he not get stabbed for ruffling her hair she would’ve poisoned my coffee if I did that-shut up tony-don’t you tell me she wouldn’t have done the same to you, Capsicle-

Capsicle insult/nickname being a thingTM

Clintasha friendship goals

But also Clintasha being a subtle married ship- making the rest of the team wonder are they together orrr…? (but being to afraid to ask for clarification)

Pepper dropping by weekly to check in on the team

Make sure they haven’t done more damage than the last time she was there

(most of the time PR but it could also be actual physical damage to the tower when they got into a playful argument that escalated)

And she(Pep)always expects Natasha to be better than them and on her side with the exasperated eye-rolls

And she is, mostly

But sometimes, she likes to be in on the fun with her boys

So enter Pepper- who is utterly aghast because et tu, Natasha? 🤭

(Nat-on those occasions- just shrugs and smirks like the badass she is because-unlike the boys-she’s not afraid terrified of Pepper)

(looking at you tony)

Steve calling Pepper, “Ms. Potts” almost religiously

Steve looking up at the ceiling when talking to Jarvis

Tony’s HeightTM

(you guys called him short but I mean he’s literally almost as tall as Steve?? it’s just a few inches 😂😂)

Thor’s All-Speak (wish I had this)

Tony being obsessed with coffee

Like seriously

You guys had him drinking his seventh cup by the first 10 paragraphs

Pepper-or Steve-having to put a limit on how many cups Tones is allowed to have

(and back to nicknames, I love that Tones was one for tony)

Clint&Tony agressively playing Mario Kart with each other

Oh and of course, #Stony❤️🤍💙 was main ship if you’d didn’t do #Pepperony 😜

Those are the main ones that I can remember but tell me if I’m missing stuff pls

(I’ve seen other posts like this and I wanted in *pouts*)
