Can i request a reader x luffy fic where luffy is the shy one? 🥺 i loved your sleeptalking fic!
anything for you teehee 🤭
say what you want - shy!luffy x gn reader
Tumblr media
warnings: gn reader, making out (AHHHH 🫣)
It wasn’t hard to tell when Luffy wanted something. He was always vocal, about being hungry, about being happy or sad, anything really. It was part of his charm, being so open and authentic, inspiring to everyone that his physical strength came paired with such an sincerely bared soul. Leaning against the side of the deck with him tonight, as stars shone brightly above the clear ocean night sky, you think you’ve found his one exception. Your sides recovered from breathless laughter as a sense of quiet filled the air between you and Luffy, the smile that lingered on your lips directed its way towards him. His cheeks slightly tinted with pink, his dark brown eyes, the salt spray putting slight wave in his hair, he looked radiant in the blue light that bounced off the deep sea. His eyes met yours, locked in and focused, a smile still ghosting his features.
“What?” you asked, running a hand through your hair, pushing it away from your face. You were almost starting to get self conscious with the way he was looking at you. He didn’t seem to hear you. “What is it, Luffy?”
He looked away for a second before turning back to you, “Oh, I. I don’t know, nothing, don’t worry about it..” he stuttered, the pink hue returning to his face. Your eyebrows scrunched.
“Nothing? Seems like something to me,” you sang, nudging his shoulder. Your hand dropped to rest on his knee and you pat it, urging him to talk. His eyes flickered between your lips and your eyes, and he was leaning closer, not with any intent in mind, just following the gravity that emitted from you and seemed to pull him closer every time. Your eyes softened as your hand pushed his knee down, leveraging him closer to you suddenly, his lips seconds away from yours.
“C’mon, Luffy, what did you wanna say?” Your eyes were half-lidded as you tried not to close the gap, his quick shallow breaths fanning across your lips. He gulped, nervously licking his lips, and you smiled, finally pressing your lips against his in a chaste kiss. Pulling away quickly to look at him, you watched as he leaned after you, eyes closed and mouth searching for your warmth again. You giggled as he slowly opened his eyes, brows furrowed and begging for more, not wanting to speak, forgetting how to.
You smiled, still leaning back, teasing. “Come on Luffy, you gotta tell me.” He licked his lips again, this time just to taste the ghost of where you had been.
He whispered your name, “can you please do that again?” You leaned forwards, cupping a hand around his ear as you crawled into his lap, keeping him pushed sitting against the ship’s walls as you straddled him. Bringing your fingers up to lace in his hair, his surprised moans were lost in your mouth, his kisses uncoordinated and lacking rhythm, his enthusiasm making up for it, his smile tangible in the way he searched for you. His hands laced in your hair, scrunching and gently pushing you forwards, chasing the feeling he had been scared to vocalize all this time. His rhythm gradually improving to match the one you set, he pulled away, opting to kiss down your jaw, your neck, the peak of your collarbone under your shirt. His hands rested under your shirt and against your lower back, all he wanted to do was feel now that he had you in his arms, where he knew you belonged. You pulled away after he pressed a final, deep, searching kiss to your lips, your lungs starved of air. You thread your fingers through his dark hair as you laughed in astonished disbelief. Luffy finally smiled that big, face-splitting grin of his.
“That’s what I wanted to say!”
A/N: omg so cute i love shy shy shy luffy i actually do need him asap. anyways thanks for the request @kingofthe-egirls it was sooooo fun to write!!! guys please send me requests if you want me to write anything specific next time! okay bye bye kitties meow (cat saying ciao) .*•

❒ 5.4k
Tumblr media
you and yunho were besties, that much was obvious to the members, staffs, atiny- literally everyone. you two were inseparable ever since you first joined kq. people only thought you two were best friends because of your similar interests, but that was not the case.
yunho was deeply in love with you. everything and anything you did sent his mind spiralling, atinys always loved watching you two interact, it was such an interesting sight, like now as you waved to the large crowd of fans.
yunho buried his face in your neck, arms tightly securing you around your waist. atinys all had their phones out recording, "yah! yun~, what are you doing?" you spoke into your microphone, holding back a laugh.
yunho whined and rubbed his face in your neck, sniffing you. "what are you doing?" you repeated, then put your mic near his face as he raises his head, barely out of your neck, "you smell so good today..."
the crowd screams and roars as you felt your face heat up, your members fake gagging. "so you mean i don't smell good on other days?" yunho groans in response and pulls your body impossibly closer to his.
hongjoong began talking about the concert and the new album. you bit your lip as you felt yunho nibble at your skin, "stop that..." you whisper to him, pinching his arm lightly.
he whined again, "can't, you smell too good..." you sigh as you walk towards your members, yunho copying your movements like a penguin. soon after, you guys performed once again. you were all dressed up nicely and ready to go as yunho eyed you up and down.
you looked exquisite. since you had long hair, it was tied in two beautiful braids, with some rhinestones planted here and there. the colour was a beautiful white with fading blue tips, your black roots showing at the top. he bit his lip, all his favourite colours too...
your makeup was still as gorgeous as ever, but your outfit, oh my god. you wore a long-sleeved crop top, showing your abs, they weren't as toned as san's and yeosang's, more like seonghwa's but a bit less.
the top was black and skin-tight, outlining your slightly bulking arms. a sexy silver chain draped over your neck, down your torso and splitting into two across your waist, fitting you perfectly.
your bottom was a whole other universe as you were wearing a skirt, A SKIRT. the skirt itself was to your upper thigh, however you wore skin-tight shorts that showed underneath.
the skirt was white with diamonds decorating the edges, shorts also white. a white mesh sleeveless top was thrown on you last minute, the entire outfit matching your knee-high white platforms. over the top, right?
that was your specialty. you always stood out on stage with your looks, it often resulted in new trends among kpop fans and even other idols.
many, including idols loved you for your confidence in your clothing, with you mentioning in an interview that you didn't mind wearing anything, so long as it looked good on you.
as you got on stage, the intro of halazia started playing as you danced smoothly. atinys loved yours and yunho's performance in halazia the most, since it was the 'sexiest' moment of 'yunmn'—your ship name.
as the part came, you dashed across the stage towards yunho, gripping his collar. as the jump came, you threw yourself in front of him, doing a front flip with him holding you as you two continued with the choreography. only breaking apart to go in different directions when yeosang's part came.
the atinys screamed and cheered when they watched you do a front flip, in platforms. you were the main dancer of ateez, which was often shown in performances. your killing parts were specifically more hard moves to master. you could easily pull it off since you did ballet at a young age, also mastering in b-boy and more.
time flew by as the concert came to an end. the members waving goodbye to atinys in sadness, however they kept a bright smile on their faces as they disappeared backstage.
you yawned loudly as yunho tackled you into a hug, drowning you in kisses. "you were so good today!" he picked you up and spun you around, you only laughed and held onto his shoulder for support. "you were too!"
seonghwa smiled at the interaction. "alright, pipe down lovebirds! we have to get moving to the hotel now." wooyoung fake gagging as he walked past the two.
"you look so pretty today..." yunho stares at you mesmerisingly, even with sweat dripping from your face, you looked so beautiful in his eyes.
you giggle at how much he reminded you of a puppy, "you say that to me everyday, though..." you began walking to the makeup room with yunho glued to your side. "'cause it's true!"
the makeup artists had to physically rip yunho off of you as they undo your hair and makeup, speedily as it would take another hour to arrive to the hotel.
one of the staff walk in, "alright, the hotel rooms will be; seonghwa and hongjoong in 501, wooyoung, san and mingi in 502, yeosang and jongho in 503 and lastly, yunho and mn in 504."
jongho—who sat next to you—giggled as he scrolled on his phone. "what's funny?" you blinked at the man as he turned to face you. he put a hand next to his mouth, "yunho asked the staff to put him in the same room with you,
he wouldn't shut up about it and he was annoying the staff for like, the entire day until he gave in." you blinked in surprise, "gosh, that guy is always doing the craziest things ever...."
you pull out your phone as you scrolle through twitter, the hashtag #YUNMN trending as of now. you scroll through, most of them being recorded videos of you and yunho today at the concert.

↳finding_mn: ITS A 4TH GEN MAIN DANCER THING NOBODY DOES IT LIKE MN😋
↳mnverse_: #MN IM SO PROUD OF U BABY!!!
you giggle to yourself as you scroll through the sweet posts all about you and yunho. for some reasons it made you feel all warm inside.
you were about to put your phone down until you heard a notification. picking up your phone once again, your screen lights up as a message is shown:
my gentle giant🫶🏻: missing u :(
you look across the room to see yunho jutting his bottom lip out, looking at you sadly with those cute puppy eyes. you internally coo at him as you blew him a kiss, he perked up and caught it with his hand, putting your imaginary kiss into his pocket, making you laugh.
"alright mn, you can get changed and head to the hotel now! good work today!" you thanked your makeup artist and grabbed your duffle-bag before heading into the changing rooms.
yunho sighed and slumped deeper into his seat, "minji~ please hurry! i wanna go see my nn..." yunho's makeup artist—minji—only let out a breathy laugh as she wiped the remaining lipstick from his lips.
"you must like him a lot." yunho couldn't help but let a tiny smile peek out from his lips, "he's just... perfect to me." minji smiles as she throws the wet tissue away.
"well, we're done so you can go to your lover!" she says gingerly as she bid him goodbye. yunho immediately rushing into the changing stalls to get changed.
Tumblr media
yunho was attached to your hip the entire car ride. he was rambling on and on about how well you did during the performance today as you only hummed and nodded your head,
"what about yourself?" he blinks in confusion, looking up at you from his position on your shoulder. you sigh, "yun, you can't just always talk go on about me, what about you?"
yunho doesn't reply, he only buried himself deeper into your shoulder, closing his eyes, trying so hard to bite back his smile. that's right, you always put me first. that's why i like you so much.
upon arriving at the hotel, you quickly got off the car with yunho as he bounces in excitement. you raise a questioning brow at him, "what are you so excited about?" his eyes drift off to hongjoong, who was checking in and grabbing the keycards for each room.
the man squeals and runs over to him, leaving you with question marks above your head. wooyoung throws an arm around your shoulder while shaking his head, "that guy is just head over heels for you." you roll your eyes and flick his forehead, making him wince and whine,
"no he's not. we're just best friends, of course he's all over me." wooyoung smirks and raises his brows, "oh but tonight," he leans in your ear, "you guys are gonna get spicy~!" you blush and push him off, covering your ear. "yah, jung wooyoung!" he laughs and runs off.
"gosh, that kid is absolutely insane!" you sigh in horror before you walk over to the lounge where the others were, collecting their keycards. seonghwa sees you and teases, "oh yunho, your lover is here for you!"
the others giggle as yunho—who was at the water station, drinking from his paper cup—tosses the water down his throat and throws the cup to god knows where before charging at you.
you let out a yelp as he sweeps you into his arms, carrying you bridal style. you hold on to his neck as you hit his back, "yah! what's going on with you today!?"
yunho's face turns serious as he faces hongjoong, "hyung, our keycard please." hongjoong internally sweat-dropped as yunho opened his mouth, signalling hongjoong to place the keycard between his teeth.
the members watch as a deranged yunho carry you happily to your hotel room, tripping a few times in the process. "they're probably gonna fuck tonight-" wooyoung yelps as jongho hit his head, "even if they do, that's none of your business." hongjoong adjusts his bag over his shoulder,
"nono, he's right. we are definitely not getting any sleep tonight so buckle up crew." seonghwa giggles as yeosang and jongho sigh in sadness, departing to their own room, which was right by yours.
yunho adjusts his hold on you as he reaches to place the keycard on the door, unlocking it with a 'beep'. he giggles excitedly, throwing himself onto the queen sized bed.
"it's a single bed?" you untied your hair from your ponytail, "yeah! aren't you excited to..." he trails off as he watches you bite the hairtie between your teeth and put your hair up into a nice bun at the top of your head, tying it tightly.
you go over and cup his face gently, "why are you looking me like that? are you okay?" yunho's face heats up, smiling as he cups your hands. "i'm okay, i saw your face today so i'm okay."
you tsked before flicking his forehead, "stop being so sappy and help me with the luggage." you turn around to pull the large suitcase—which the staff helped drop off by the door—inside, yunho scrambled from the bed to help you place it horizontally.
he pulled out some clothes and skincare products as you laid on the bed, letting out a deep sigh. "platforms." you muttered, yunho turning his head, "what did you say?"
"the platforms i performed in today." "what about them?" you smile at the ceiling, "they were so damn nice." he smiles brightly before throwing himself on top of you on the bed, squeezing you tightly.
"you're so cute! i'll get you new ones, so don't worry!" he rubs his cheek against yours as you whine, "yah, jeong yunho get off me!" he lands a fat kiss on your cheek as you groan in 'disgust'.
"i'll get off if you promise to give me kisses later!" you giggle, "stop that, go shower!" you shove him playfully as he buries his face in the crook of your neck, "i'll go if you promise first!"
you stroke his hair gently, "fine, but be quick. i need to shower too." he looks up at you for a second before sprinting into the bathroom, going back to get his clothes. "you better keep your promise, nn!"
you laugh as he disappears into the bathroom. hearing a knock at the door, you shout out, "coming!" you jog to the door and open it, seeing jongho stand at the other side.
"what's good?" you ask, ruffling his hair. "aish, stop that," he smiles and swats your hands away, "don't be too loud tonight," he raises his brows continuously in a teasing manner, "what are you talking about?" your forehead creases in confusion.
jongho only smiles as he goes back into his hotel room, just beside yours. you close the door and scratch your head, mumbling to yourself, "what was that about?"
yunho flies out of the bathroom, shirtless and sweatpants as low as they could be. he ruffles his hair with the towel around his neck. you blush and watch as water dripped from his wet hair. the water drop rolls down his collarbone, in between his pecs, his juicy abs, before disappearing in his sweatpants.
you gulp and feel your face heat up. you look back at his hair,smiling as it reminded you of a golden retriever, you were caught in thought as you impulsively walk towards him, eyes never leaving his hair.
"mn, what's wrong?" before he could speak, you went on your tip-toes and pulled his head down, playing with his wet hair. yunho's eyes travel to your smiling face, "so fluffly..." you mumble to yourself. soon after, you snap out of your trance and retract your hands awkwardly.
"ah... sorry. i'll go shower now." you squeeze his cheek once and gather your things to the bathroom, "don't forget your promise!" yunho says and shoots you a finger heart. you catch it and kiss your fist before closing the bathroom door.
he sits on the bed and starts a live due to boredom. smiling at the rising number of viewers, he greets the atinys through his screen.
"why is your camera off?" he reads out a question, "ah, well i'm not wearing a shirt and also mn's showering." the comments start coming in twice as quick after yunho's little comment.
"are you rooming with mn?" he reads another question, "yes! i'm so excited to spend the night with him- ah, not in that way!" the atinys all cheer him on and hope they have a good night.
"guys it's not like that!" he laughs and buries his face in the pillows in embarrassment, "stop... please!" he giggles as his face reddens, "i- i can't breathe!"
he wipes the tears in the corner of his eyes before reading more comments. "did you have a good time today?" he reads, "yes i did! i was so impressed with mn's dancing even in platforms, sometimes i forget that he's a man."
he chats with the atinys for a few more minutes until he hears the blow dryer turn on. "ah, mn's probably done with his shower, i'll chat with you soon! byebye!"
he softly knocks on the bathroom door, going in after hearing it unlock. you brushed through your wet hair, drying it with the blow dryer. yunho bit his lip as he stands in the doorway, leaning against it.
he eyes your figure; dressed in a cute, oversized t-shirt. his eyes trailed lower and feels his heartbeat quicken at the sight of your tight sleep shorts underneath, almost completely hidden by your shirt.
"...ho, yunho!" he blinks a few times before focusing his eyes back on your bare face. "hm?" you flick his forehead, making him groan and hold his forehead, "i told you to go put on a shirt, didn't i?"
putting down the blow dryer, you brush your hair a few times before walking out of the bathroom, with yunho following. "you're gonna catch a cold!" you scoff at the sight of him whining and stomping his feet. "but i want my kisses first!"
you roll your eyes and check your phone for a second, "are you a child?" "you promised!" he pouted, sitting at the edge of the bed. "are you seriously mad at me?" you sat on the bed as you tried looking at him. he only turned the other direction and crossed his arms around his chest, you sigh.
"fine, c'mere." you stretch your arms out as his facade immediately falters, launching himself onto you. you giggle at the man, stroking his soft hair. yunho had his head in your neck with his arms wrapped tightly around your waist. your arms were slung over his shoulders, playing with his hair.
he sat up and leaned against the headboard, throwing your legs over his lap. you two stayed in the position for a quiet few seconds before he spoke up, "can i have those kisses now?"
you giggle at the adorable man-child below you. cupping his soft cheeks in your hands, you pecked his nose. "of course, pup." he smiled at the nickname, pushing his face closer to yours.
you cup his cheeks and began peppering his face with light kisses. you swore his cheeks would start hurting due to how much he had been smiling, "you're gonna pull a muscle if you keep smiling like that." you giggle at the golden retriever, "i can't help it, you just make me feel so happy." his eyes literally and figuratively sparkling as he stares at you.
he gently caresses the bags under your eyes, frowning. "why... do you even like me so much?" you smile apologetically at the taller. he ignored your question and kisses your eye, "yah! stop that, ew!!" you gag jokingly, "you need to sleep more! look at your eye bags."
you laugh at his pouting face, "you sound like my mom right now!" you begin laughing. yunho doesn't react, only staring mesmerisingly into your eyes. he suddenly pulls you into his lap. you yelp and grip onto his neck, noses almost touching.
he strokes your thighs softly. fingers tingling as your body hair that tickles at his fingers. you feel your heart almost beating out of your chest as you nervously fiddle with the hair on his nape.
"i like you so much because," he pauses and boops your noses together, "you're perfect to me." your eyes began to water as you played with his hair, "everything you do is so... amazing to me.
you work so hard and do so well. you always put me and the members before yourself. you force the maknaes to bed knowing how hard they worked, yet you spend the next five hours practicing until you can't even move anymore."
you lean in just a little more and he connects your lips immediately. your emotions take over you as a tear falls from your eye. he breaks the kiss, lips still hovering over each other.
he whispers softly, "you're so selfless, so caring, so loving, so hardworking. and i love that about you," you let out a quiet sob as he pecks your lip, "no, scratch that. i'll love you no matter what."
you pull away from him, sobbing into your hands. no one's ever acknowledged you like this before. not like your members didn't, you were humble about it. you learnt to always nod and agree even if you didn't, say 'thank you' even if you didn't mean it.
your entire life was always black and white, until yunho came. when you first joined kq, you were unlikable. at first, the members didn't like you cause of your normalcy, they hated how you didn't even try to prove that you wanted to do this, that you wanted to debut.
but yunho, this fanatic man followed you like your own puppy, assisted you when needed, and was your shoulder to cry on. yunho's always made you like this, so dramatic, so emotional, so... weird. you felt weirdly happy with him. he satisfied all your needs and you satisfied all his needs.
he was the reason you took the first step and came out of your shell, learned to love and to receive love. he was there ever since you could remember, there for all the good and bad. kissed you when you cried and you reciprocated. you were perfect for each other. no matter as members, friends, best friends, or even... lovers.
he tried pulling your hands away but you wouldn't budge, only burying yourself into the crook of his neck. "nn, look at me please." he brushed through your hair with his fingers, "n-no, this is so embarrassing..." you sniffled. you could feel how hot your face was, and you were sure yunho could too.
he kissed the top of your head, "but it's true, i do love you." "stop saying that." he giggled, "your hair smells so nice, what shampoo do you use?" you snort before hitting his chest lightly, "i can't believe you," you pull away, wiping your wet cheeks as he coos at you, "i'm crying my eyes out for you and you ask me what shampoo i use?"
you try to act mad but can't help the small smile pulling the corners of your lips up. he laughs as you hit him on the head this time, "but it's true! i love you, i love you so much mn."
he pulls you towards him again, peppering your face with kisses. "i've loved you for so long, you have no idea." you squish his cheeks, "then tell me, since when?" "ever since we first became friends when we were trainees-"
"WHAT" you cup his face, jaw dropping all the way to the hotel lobby. "no way! no way- for that long?" your eyes water as he only nods as he stares at you with so much love in his eyes. god he never stops staring at me, does he?
you pull him in for another kiss, full of passion and lust. it soon turns into a full makeout session as you gently grind on his lap, moaning softly into the kiss.
he groans, gripping your waist tightly. his body on fire as he kissed you passionately, kissed you with everything he's got; years and years of pining, silently watching. but now, he's going to have you all to himself.
you both scramble to remove your shirt, throwing it in some corner of the hotel room you couldn't even bother to glance at. teeth clattering against each other as the room fills with the lust and love held in your kisses and your touch.
yunho was the first to pull away, staring at your half-naked body like he had never seen anything like it before. if he had to describe you in one word it would be, god. he would worship you always and forever, put food in front of your shrine and pray for your blessing and touch.
your breath hitched when he kissed down your jawline, all the way to your stomach. you held onto him the entire time, weird feelings invading your body, almost making you cry. he kissed your body with so much tenderness, like you would break with just the tiniest touch, which was true.
he kissed at your neck, littering your skin with dark purple marks, marks that showed that you were his, and only his. he muttered words of praises against your neck, hands gently rubbing circles at your waist, kneading the soft flesh.
you let out a breathy moan with tears streaming down your face, you've never felt like this before. this overwhelming feeling of being loved and wanted, yunho pining over you for years, loving your body and satisfying all your cravings.
he stopped and looked up, eyes softening at the tears glowing beneath the dim light of the room, "why," he stroked your cheek gently as he rubbed his against yours, "don't cry love. i'll love you even after tonight, to the moon and back." tears streamed deon your face again as he captures your lips in a loving kiss. this time he takes all the time in the world, tongue exploring every corner of your mouth, tasting every different flavour of your mouth.
yunho knew how sensitive you were to feelings, especially love. you've never felt so cared and loved for as your family was strict, never caring when you cried and only told you to stand up and continue walking. he made you feel all sorts of ways, making the black and white in your life blend together, and even adding his own colours to yours too.
you pulled away, trailing your hands along the bulky muscles of his shoulders, all the way to his hands, intertwining yours with his. your eyes lingered over his muscular torso while a light blush splattered across your cheeks. yunho giggled and teased, "like what you see?" your eyes widen as you rip your gaze from his beautiful chest, "n-no, i was just looking..."
yunho snorted, it had only been the recent few years when you fully freed yourself of the chains your family put on you. even atinys began revolting against your family, supporting you to the best of their abilities.
yunho glanced to the clock on the wall, seeing the shorter hand hit '1', signalling pst midnight. he gently laid you on the bed and began removing his sweats, "i don't wanna waste any more time... i promise this'll be the best experience of your life." he eagerly pull your shorts down, you stare at him, picturing a golden retriever as his face. you smiled and pecked his cheek,
he smiled happily as he lubed you up, thrusting a finger inside, your body jolted, moaning as his finger curled inside you. yunho left butterfly kisss up your abdomen, "you're so tight... so cute." he smiled as he put in another finger, rubbing against your soft walls.
you quivered at the new feeling, body getting increasingly sensitive with each time he touched your special spot, almost making you see stars. tugging at his hair gently, yunho gazed at you in a daze, hands never leaving your body. he didn't waste a single minute as he slurped and sucked your neck while he thrusted and flicked his fingers inside you, making your eyes roll to the back of your head.
"oh... oh my- jesus! ah, yun...!" you moaned softly as he attacked your sensitive spot on your neck, licking and biting at it. "w-wait... you'll leave a mark if you-" you suddenly yelp as yunho bit down on your soft flesh, humming at the feeling. pulling away, he kissed the bite mark and smirked, "now everyone will know who you belong to..." he captures your lips in a heated kiss, "mine," he mumbled into the kiss as your teeth clashed together, "all mine..."
yunho pulled his fingers out, humming in approval before lining his cock with your entrance, excitement gleaming in his eyes. capturing your lips again, he slowly began to push his tip in, groaning at your tightness. "god... baby, relax a bit," he pressed his sweaty forehead against yours, "otherwise you'll cut my dick in half..." you mumbled a soft apology as he held you in his arms lovingly, making small talk so you'll relax a bit.
"remember when you cuddled me and cried cause you were scared i'd be mad at you forever?" yunho whined and buried his head in between your neck and shoulder as you let out a small laugh, "that's not fair! we were still trainees back then, i was young and dumb!" you kissed the top of his head, "it's not dumb, yun. you were adorable!" he blushed at the humiliating memory, cursing himself internally for acting that way.
unbeknownst to you, he had already slipped half of his length into you. distracted by the nice conversation you were having mid-sex, you barely paid any mind to the tingling feeling in your lower region. he pulled himself out of your neck, kissing your sweaty forehead as he tested the waters by slowly thrusting in.
you let out a breathy moan, slowly being filled up by the man who used to cry as you comforted him during a rainstorm. you gently caressed the man's face, "oh yun... i love you so much, do you know that?" yunho bit his lip as tears began to build up in his eyes, "that's- that's all i ever wanted to hear from you..." you smiled and quickly pulled the male into a passionate kiss while he thrusted faster and deeper with each passing second.
moaning into the kiss as you took him, body malfunctioning from the mix of pleasure and pain. yunho groaned as he thrusted harder, hips snapping into you at a monstrous pace, making your body shake as whimpers came out of your mouth.
his tongue ravished inside your mouth, like a man who was starved his entire life. you held onto his shoulders for dear life while his tip brushed against your prostate with each harsh thrust, sending you over the edge.
you moaned in a high-pitch, voice cracking from yunho still thrusting despite your orgasm. "w-wait... i can't, ah!" your body jolted, oversensitive as he abused your hole, even smiling evilly while he did it. you theew your head back as tears rolled down your temples, your beautiful hair sprayed across the hotel bed, creating a beautiful pattern as the colours tangled against each other.
yunho cooed at you while the lewd sounds of skin-slapping echoed through the hotel room, and probably in your member's rooms too. "just a few more, 'kay?" he said in a ragged breath as he kissed your tears away, holding you gently despite the animalistic pace he was going at.
he pressed his forehead against yours as you felt him twitch, signalling that it would be over soon. he groaned and buried his head into the crook of your neck, softly nibbling at the spot he did when you were on stage. "i... i'm close-" he mumbled against your skin, sending shivers down your spine.
you bit your lip, thighs shaking as he gripped you steadily, thrusts slowly becoming messier with each passing minute. yunho mumbled soft praises before slipping his tongue into your mouth again. your tongues danced together as he came, deep into you, burying this memory inside you forever. you came a few seconds after him, body twitching at the hot cum still inside of you.
yunho slipped his cock out, face red as he breathed heavily, you doing the same. he grabbed a towel at the foot of the bed, cleaning you up quietly. afterwards, he switched off the lights and cuddled you, both falling asleep almost immediately with large smiles plastered on your faces, this was probably the best night you ever had.
Tumblr media
you cracked your neck both sides as the members were all lounging in the lobby while hongjoong and seonghwa were checking out. wooyoung pulled down your shirt just a bit mor, revealing the purple flowers that decorated your neck. you swat his hand away immediately, "what do you think your doing?"
"hyung," wooyoung put a hand over his open mouth, "is that... a hickey?" san sprung up from his seat behind you two, "A WHAT!?" you tucked your head between your shoulders as the two almost strangled you, trying to tug down your shirt as you scolded them, mingi laughing and recording on his phone while jongho and yeosang only sharing a knowing look before glancing to yunho who was smiling to himself, feeling all giddy like a high school girl.
you sat next to yunho after getting out of that mess, pinching his arm as he cuddled himself into you. "i love you-" you hit his head as jongho smirked at you from across your couch, "later..." you mumbled to the now sulking boy.
you sighed, he was gonna be the death of you…

《 Chapter 23
》 Chapter 25
All chapters (Part 2) (Part 1)
Tumblr media
Explanation: Some time has passed and a familiar face reenters the lives of the Bad Batch and the Koriena Force.
Tumblr media
About a month or so after the events of the Imperial gala, the Bad Batch found themselves in a chase, fleeing the planet they’d been sent to with special cargo they’d acquired. The gang of thieves they’d just stolen the cargo from had sent three of their vessels after them, chasing them out of the planet’s atmosphere and into space. 
Hunter, who was on the tailgun of the Marauder firing at the ships, asked aloud both with urgency and irritation, “How much longer until we’re in hyperspace, Tech?”
“That depends on when Echo plans on getting the drive back online,” Tech fired back, casting an accusatory look at Echo, who was trying to fix the hyperdrive and was clearly not doing it at a pace Tech preferred.
“I’m working on it!” Echo replied, frustrated.
In the back, Kimber had helped Omega get into her seat and pulled her emergency bar over her head. Wrecker placed their cargo in the seat next to Omega, which was a medium-sized cage with a green and blue lizard.
“I don’t think Ruby likes this very much,” Omega commented.
“You named that thing?” Wrecker asked in disbelief as he sat down in the seat across from her and pulled his bar down. 
“At least it’s a cute name,” said Kimber with a small shrug as she pulled the bar of the seat over the lizard’s cage.
Their pursuers continued shooting at their ship and Tech was doing his best to dodge and evade their attacks, but they were being relentless. The ship rocked a little as Tech took a sharp turn, causing Kimber to falter a little.
“What’s with these guys?” Wrecker questioned.
“Well, we did steal from them,” Omega pointed out.
From the cockpit, Tech replied, “Technically, the Rhokai stole the lizard first. We are merely intercepting it.”
“They don’t see it that way,” said Hunter as he continued shooting. 
The ship took another turn, which caused Ruby’s cage to fall out from under the bar and onto the floor. The door to the cage swung open and Ruby skittered out, going for Wrecker’s leg and starting to climb him.
“It’s loose! It’s loose! Get it off!” he cried out in a panic, throwing up the bar from in front of him and jumping to his feet, trying to wrestle the lizard off of him and running around the back cabin.
“Wrecker, calm down! Stop moving!” cried Kimber, trying to help him, but she was unable to get a good look because he kept running around, yelling to get it off.
“Stay calm, you’re scaring her!” added Omega, who’d gotten out of her seat.
Ruby had climbed her way up to Wrecker’s head, obstructing his sight, which caused him to run into the back of one of the seats in the cockpit and he fell backwards to the floor. The lizard flew off his head and started to roll back down the aisle towards Omega.
“Hyperdrive’s online!” Echo called out.
Kimber called Omega’s name and tossed the lizard’s cage up to her. Omega caught the cage and trapped the lizard on the floor with it, alerting the others that she got her, and that gave Tech the go-ahead to make the jump to hyperspace. Seconds later, they entered the blue tunnel of hyperspace and escaped their Rhokai pursuers.
Once they knew they were safe, Kimber went up to Omega and commented, ruffling her hair, “Great catch, dear.”
“Thanks, Kimber,” said Omega, grinning, as she ushered Ruby into the cage and locked it.
Then Kimber went over to Wrecker and crouched next to him as he groaned, rubbing his head. “Are you okay, Wrecker?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine,” he answered.
Echo came over and both he and Kimber took each of Wrecker’s arms, pulling him back up to his feet. “Don’t worry, the lizard’s back in its cage,” Echo reassured the larger Clone.
“Good. I didn’t like that thing crawling all over me,” said Wrecker, shuddering slightly. 
“She was scared, that’s all,” Omega tried to justify. 
Hunter stated as he climbed down from the gunner’s mount, “It doesn’t matter. We got away and the lizard is back in the cage. Now, we can just focus on getting back to Ord Mantell.”
Tech turned in his pilot’s chair. “If I recall correctly, the Koriena Force should also be returning to Ord Mantell from a mission as we speak,” he spoke. “They should be arriving shortly after us.”
“Oh good,” said Kimber. Then she stole a glance over at Wrecker and Echo, knowing they both were thinking of their sweethearts in the other squad. Sure enough, both of their faces lit up just a little at hearing they’d be seeing the Koriena Force soon. Seeing that and how happy they were made Kimber smile. 
This seemed to be their lives now: both squads would be sent out on jobs and sometimes it would be a few days when they’d all see each other again. They hadn’t been on another joint mission since the Imperial gala. Any time they all had to spend together were moments they treasured when they had them. This was the first time in a while that both squads would be coming back around the same time.
It was going to be an exciting time when they got back to Ord Mantell.
Tumblr media
Now at Cid’s bar, Cid peered curiously into Ruby’s cage for a minute, examining the cargo she’d hired the Bad Batch to retrieve, and then commented, “That is one strange-looking lizard.”
“Says the other strange-looking lizard,” Kimber whispered to Tech beside her, who grinned in amusement. 
“What’s your client want it for?” Echo asked Cid.
She just answered, “Maybe it’s a pet. Maybe he wants to turn it into a stew. Don’t know, don’t care.”
“As long as you get paid,” Hunter flatly stated.
“Now you’re catching on,” replied Cid. "And guess what? That means you get paid, too. Bring the lizard in the back." Then she started walking in the direction of her back office. 
Kimber moved to grab Ruby's cage, but Echo beat her to it. "Don't worry, Kim. I've got this," he assured her. 
"Well, what if I wanted to carry it?" she playfully whined, smirking, as Echo and Tech followed Cid.
Then Cid blurted out back over her shoulder, "Somebody better get it before my stick meets your backside!"
“Try it and you’ll find my blaster between your eyes,” Kimber muttered, irritated, under her breath. She'd been getting real tired of Cid's abrasive behavior towards them lately. 
Hunter heard her and said to her quietly, placing a hand on her shoulder, “Easy, my love. Don’t let her get to you.”
She groaned. “She just always has to make some sort of comment towards us. It annoys me,” she said.
“I know, but you’re better than her. Don’t stoop to her level,” he told her. 
“No promises,” she replied. 
Hunter opened his mouth to say something back, but then he heard Omega say his name. When both he and Kimber turned around, they noticed both Omega and Wrecker standing behind them with expectant looks on their faces. Coming from both of them, that was never a great sign.
“What are you two up to?” Hunter asked them suspiciously.
“The mission’s over. Can we go?” Wrecker asked him, pointing back over his shoulder.
“Again?” Hunter questioned, exasperated.
“It’s a tradition,” said Wrecker with Omega smiling widely and nodding along with him.
Kimber couldn’t help but grin and shake her head, knowing exactly what Wrecker was referring to. In the last month, Wrecker and Omega had taken to going and getting Mantell Mix after every mission as a way to celebrate their success. Hunter seemed to not be entirely on board with the idea, hence why Wrecker was being so shy about it. She didn’t know if he just found it childish or if it was something else, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. It was something fun and enjoyable they liked to do together. 
“It makes the kid happy,” Wrecker added in a quiet voice to Hunter, though going by the judging look Omega was casting up at him, both Kimber and Hunter figured he wasn’t talking just about her.
“Uh-huh…the kid,” Hunter repeated sarcastically.
Kimber stepped up beside him and said to him, “Come on, Hunter, they’re just getting treats they love to celebrate; it’s a simple, innocent tradition they enjoy. Where’s the harm in letting them go again?” She put a hand on his arm, hoping that would help convince him. 
Hunter groaned in defeat. He somehow knew that if Kimber stepped in, he was done for. She was a bit of an enabler when it came to Wrecker and Omega together. That and it was sometimes hard for him to say “no” to his beloved.
He heaved a sigh and relented by saying, “Don’t take long.”
With a triumphant laugh, Wrecker and Omega excitedly ran out of the building.
Once they were gone, Hunter looked to Kimber and told her, “Sometimes, I think you enable those two a little too much, sweetheart.”
“I do it because getting Mantell Mix with Wrecker gives Omega a chance to really be a kid and you know Wrecker encourages that, too. She doesn’t get many chances like that,” she explained as they both started walking towards Cid’s office.
“Well, if this habit of theirs comes back to bite us, you are responsible for them.” he stated.
“That’s fine,” she replied with a shrug, clearly not very worried about it.
They joined up with Tech and Echo in Cid’s office, who was sitting at her desk with an open case of credits. The lizard cage was on the desk and Ruby was clattering around inside. Echo and Tech both stepped aside and let Hunter and Kimber move in between them. 
“All right, fellas, here’s your cut,” Cid spoke up, handing Hunter only three credits from the entire case.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You said the job paid three times this," he pointed out. 
Slamming the case shut, she spat, "For me. Not for you."
This got on everyone's nerves immediately as Echo went on to ask, glaring at Cid, "And just how is this a mutually beneficial arrangement?"
"You're breathing, aren't ya?" was what Cid asked in response. 
That answer rubbed Kimber the wrong way and she was not having it. "So you get all the money and we only get to keep on living with no way to provide for ourselves? Yeah, that seems very fair," she responded, her voice laced with both sarcasm and irritation. "How about next time, we keep all the money and you just get to keep breathing? That seems more mutually beneficial to me."
Cid shot her an unamused look. "You’re pushing your luck, Dollface."
"And you’re pushing my buttons, Cid," Kimber said back, her voice raising. 
"I would advise you to keep calm, Kimber," Tech suggested. 
The Trandoshan looked at Hunter and made the snide remark, “Yeah, keep your missus under control, Bandana.”
Those words set Kimber off and she took a step forward, an undeniable fire of rage in her eyes and her face. Hunter reached his arm out in front of her to stop her while Echo and Tech grabbed her arms. 
“Kim, don’t,” Echo said in her ear.
Begrudgingly, she took a step back and the boys all released her. Though, they kept her in their peripherals in case Cid made another comment that would make Kimber angry again. 
Cid sat back in her chair, picking up a datapad from her desk, and said, "Besides, I think I'm being rather generous to you guys considering the debt you owe me."
"What debt?" Hunter questioned. When she tossed the datapad to him, he picked it up and read aloud, "Docking fees, port charges, gear, fuel, rations…and twenty cartons of Mantell Mix?" Right away, he cast a look at Kimber. "What was that about it being a harmless tradition?" he asked almost in an "I told you so" kind of tone. 
"I thought they'd be using their own money for that," she stated defensively. "I don't know why they've--" 
She cut herself off as a distant memory returned to her mind of a certain short Force user giving Wrecker some advice a while back, her raspy voice echoing loud and clear in Kimber’s head.
"Save your credits, big guy. Tell the vendor to put the money on Cid's tab. If she's gonna be snippy, make her pay for it."
“Rina…,” she sighed, realizing that Wrecker must’ve taken her seriously.
“You need to find them and tell them that using Cid to pay for the mix has gotten way out of hand and they need to stop now,” Hunter told her. 
She rolled her eyes. “All right, fine,” she droned as she turned on her heel to head out of the office. “Anything to get away from Cid,” she then muttered.
After she left, Cid asked, primarily focusing on Hunter, “What’s the deal with your Missus, huh?”
Glowering down at the lizard lady, he firmly stated in annoyance, “Don’t call her that.”
“Why not? You two are married, aren’t ya?” she questioned.
Before Hunter could answer, Tech clarified for him, adjusting his goggles, “That would be an incorrect assumption. Hunter and Kimber are indeed a couple, but they are not yet wed.”
Cid’s eyes widened just a little, to their surprise. “You’re kidding me,” she said flatly. “You two act like a married couple as it is, so when are you gonna get hitched already?”
The Sergeant sighed and rolled his eyes. This was definitely not the time and place to discuss such things. “That’s not important right now nor is it any of your business,” he said back. “Now, can we get back to what we were discussing before?”
Out in the parlor, Kimber was nearly stomping out of the hallway from Cid’s office. She practically despised Cid, so that already put her in a sour mood, and then finding out Wrecker and Omega were contributing to whatever debt they now owed Cid only irritated her more. She wasn’t looking forward to the conversation she was going to have to have with those two.
She heard a gruff voice off to the side of the empty parlor suddenly say, “You’re in my seat. Move it!” When she stopped to look, she saw Bolo and Ketch, the two regulars of the bar, ganging up on a hooded figure wearing a poncho sitting at a corner booth. When the stranger, who appeared male in stature, didn’t move, Bolo urged him rudely to move again.
“Hey! Bolo, Ketch! Why are you harassing that man?” she asked, moving over their way.
The two friends turned around to see her and Bolo answered, “He’s in my seat!”
Kimber looked around the parlor and gestured to the room with her hand. “The entire parlor is empty right now. Just find a new place to sit. It’s not that hard,” she chided him.
“Hey, this is Cid’s place. You can’t tell us what to do,” Ketch sneered.
Annoyed and just done with everything, Kimber rolled her eyes and withdrew her blaster, aiming it at the two aliens and making them yelp in fear. “I’m already in a bad mood because of Cid,” she said, not even hiding her irritation, “so at this point, I suggest you both leave. You have three seconds before this trigger gets pulled.”
They both cried out again in fright before Bolo started pushing Ketch towards the door, yelling at him to get out of the way.
“You’re crazy, lady!” Ketch yelled over his shoulder as he ran out.
“Don’t I know it,” she said to herself as she put her blaster back in its holster. Then she moved over to the hooded figure still sitting at the table. “Sorry about all that, sir. I hope they didn’t bother you too much.”
The man spoke without lifting his head, “Still as feisty as ever, aren’t you, Kimber?”
Kimber froze. His voice…she knew it. 
He then stood up, moved out from behind the table and reached up to his hood, showing the white vambraces with blue stripes he wore. A small gasp escaped Kimber’s mouth, recognizing that armor. Then he pulled back his hood, revealing a head of short blonde hair and a kind, familiar face she was not expecting to see.
It was her dear friend, Captain Rex.
“Rex!” she exclaimed. 
With a high-pitched cry of delight, she then practically leapt onto him and hugged him tightly around his neck. He grunted slightly at the impact of her armored body slamming into his, but then he snickered softly as he hugged her back.
“Oh my stars, I’ve missed you!” she said.
“Likewise,” he said back.
Then behind Kimber, she heard multiple running footsteps, followed by Cid's voice crying out, "Hey, what's going on in here?"
Kimber let go of Rex and flipped around to see Hunter, Tech and Echo had come running out along with Cid. Hunter had his blaster drawn. 
"Look who's here!" she said with excitement.
"Rex?" asked Echo in shock.
Before Rex had a chance to respond, Cid started ranting in disgust, "Oh, great. Another clone. Just what I needed. Well, don't get comfy. I'm done taking in strays." Then she shoved Hunter in the arm. "This ain't a clone clubhouse, ya know."
"Oh, go complain in your office and leave us alone, will you?" Kimber spat at her. She was so happy to see Rex and was not about to let Cid ruin this moment. 
The Trandoshan then turned abruptly, muttering under her breath as she left the room.
"Captain," Hunter greeted Rex, holstering his blaster. 
"It's been a while, boys," said Rex in return.
"Where have you been, Rex?" Echo inquired. 
Rex shrugged and said, "That's a long story."
"One you absolutely need to tell us," said Kimber, giving him a pat on the shoulder before gesturing with her head to the bar. "Come on, let's all sit down and catch up. I'll grab us all some drinks."
Tech then said, "I shall assist you."
Though, as Kimber started heading for the bar, Hunter said quietly to her, “Weren’t you supposed to be out finding Wrecker and Omega?”
She waved a hand and replied, “Oh, they’ll be fine. I’ll talk to them about the Mantell Mix later. I’m not going to leave now that Rex is here.” Then she quickly moved away to go behind the bar and Hunter just left the matter alone.
As Kimber and Tech prepared drinks for everyone, Rex regaled them with the story of what had happened to him in recent months. He had been assisting with a mission on Mandalore, freeing it from the rule of a former Sith, and the mission had proven successful. They had captured the Sith and were heading back to Coruscant on a Republic cruiser when the Sith got loose and completely destroyed the hyperdrive, which caused the cruiser to eject out of hyperspace and crash, but Rex and his Commander were able to escape.
Tech and Kimber brought the other Clones their drinks and then took their own seats at the bar, Tech next to Hunter on one end and Kimber next to Echo on the other, as Rex then told them all, “And when the war ended, I guess you could say I’ve been…keeping a low profile.”
“Very low. Imperial files have you listed as killed in action,” Tech informed him.
“Being dead in the Empire’s eyes has its advantages,” Rex said.
“Which is good. It’s what’s kept you alive and safe,” said Kimber. In the back of her mind, however, all she could think about was Kida and Kori. Now that Rex was here, she knew somehow she’d have to tell him that the Koriena Force was also going to be on Ord Mantell and that he had a son. Despite knowing that maybe the news about the baby should come from Kida, she just had a feeling that it might already be awkward for Rex just seeing Kida again after so long. She supposed it might be better for him to know before reuniting with her so he’d know what he was getting into, but first and foremost, he had to go see her when the girls arrived planetside. She just had to find the right moment to tell him everything.
Then Echo asked Rex, “Well, how’d you track us down?”
“Trace and Rafa Martez,” Rex answered.
Echo then leaned over to Kimber and told her, “The sisters we ran into on Corellia.”
“Oh, the ones that Hunter couldn’t stand?” she asked back, to which Echo just nodded.
Rex went on, “They said a squad of rogue Clones helped them on Corellia. They told me I could find you here and that you were traveling with a kid. Who is she?”
After taking a sip of his drink, Hunter responded, “Omega. She’s a Clone like us.”
As Rex looked shocked at hearing that bit of information, they all suddenly heard Wrecker’s voice coming from the doorway, declaring with a boisterous laugh, “Well, look who it is!” He then bounded over to them, still laughing joyfully, as he cried out, “Come here, Rex!” and pulled the Captain into a big Wookie hug, picking him up off his stool.
With a grunt from being squished in Wrecker’s hug, Rex just said back, “Yeah. Good to see you, too, Wrecker.”
Noticing this behavior, Omega, who was standing behind Wrecker, asked, confused, “I thought you didn’t like the regs?”
“This one, we like,” Wrecker told her, setting Rex back down, who then gave him a light shove in the chest.
“Omega…this is Rex,” said Hunter.
Rex got down onto a knee in front of Omega so they were both at eye level, a warm and kind smile on his face at seeing the young Clone girl. “I’ve met many Clones in my time…but never one like you,” he said to her.
Kimber and the other boys all exchanged smiles and pleasant glances at seeing one of their close friends now getting to meet Omega. It was a sweet sight to see. Omega approached Rex without saying anything and was carefully examining his face, making Rex look a little uncertain.
Then she declared, “You’re a generation one.”
“Now how’d you know that?” he asked, impressed.
“From the lines on your face,” she explained.
He let out an amused chuckle. “Yeah, I guess I’ve been around.”
Wrecker laughed again and said, “You got that right!”
At that moment, Kimber’s comm chirped and Rina’s voice came through saying, “We just entered Ord Mantell’s atmosphere, boss lady. If you guys are already back like you said you’d be, then we’ll see soon. Lex and I will hit the bar first to give the old lizard our report and then we’ll meet you back at our ship.”
“Copy that,” replied Kimber and then she looked to Rex right away.
Sure enough, he’d heard the message and stood up from his crouched position. “Was that Rina?” he inquired.
All she did was nod.
“So…the Koriena Force are here, too?” he asked, now a tiny bit timid.
“Yeah, they are, and good thing they’re here,” then said Wrecker, “because now, you can find out about Ko--”
Immediately, the others all shushed him and cut him off before he could reveal the truth to a now very puzzled Clone Captain. Seeing the confused expression on his face, Kimber slipped off her stool and motioned with her head for Rex to come with her, gently taking his arm and pulling him with her over to the other side of the bar.
“Kimber, what’s going on?” he asked, now concerned.
“First of all…yes, the girls are here,” she started. “They’ve been on the run, too, and over the last month have been laying low here with us as well as working mercenary jobs like we are.”
“Is…Kida still with them?” he inquired, going back to his slightly nervous demeanor. 
That question alone was reassuring that Rex still thought about Kida. Kimber told him, “Yes, she is.”
“How is she?” he asked.
She smiled. “She’s doing very well.” Then she let out a heavy breath. Guess now she had no choice but to tell him about the baby since Wrecker almost spilled the secret. “Though, Rex…what I’m about to tell you might be a shock to hear, so…just bear with me, okay?”
He nodded.
Taking another deep breath and preparing herself, she said, “Kida…has a baby…a son.”
Rex’s eyes widened with shock for a moment and then his face fell not long after as he turned his gaze away. “I…I see,” he simply replied, looking and sounding almost disappointed, which wasn’t entirely what Kimber was expecting. However, his next question then was, “Does the father of her child make her happy?”
Kimber had to try hard right then to not snicker out loud. He had assumed Kida had borne a child with another man, hence why he’d seemed sad to hear the news. He didn’t figure immediately that it was his child and that thought amused her.
With another smile, she answered him, “He does…and I think he would make her even more happy if he went to see her when she lands.”
His head snapped back up and, for a split second, he gave her a puzzled look, but then seeing the smile she had on her face, he pieced it all together and his expression turned back to astonishment. Was she serious?
“Wait…are you saying…?” he asked, unable to finish the question.
She gave him a nod. “Her child is yours, Rex. He’s your son.”
His gaze once again drifted, completely overwhelmed by this bombshell news as he sat himself down on a nearby chair. He already had been feeling nervous at the thought of seeing Kida again, but now finding out that she had a child that was his was the last thing he expected to hear.
“I…have a son…,” he gasped aloud in astonishment, which then led him to a realization and he let his head fall into his hands. “Then that means…I got her pregnant and then left her…,” he moaned with guilt.
Kimber sat beside him and laid a hand on his shoulder. “You both were swept up in a passionate moment that you both wanted. Neither of you could’ve known this would happen. But I promise you, she’s never been angry at you for that,” she reassured him. “Becoming a mother has changed her life in good ways and she’s grown so much. Her baby is her world now and she’s a wonderful mother to him. That and she’s had the Koriena Force with her. They all helped her through her pregnancy and now, they all help raise him. He is well taken care of, as is she. I know it would mean a lot to her if you’d see her.”
He glanced back up at her, a hint of lingering uncertainty still in his eyes. “Kimber, I…I don’t know if I can.”
“Yes, you can,” she encouraged him. “I know she still thinks about you often.”
“She does?” he asked.
She nodded again. “For a long time, she thought you were dead and she was devastated. It wasn’t until they met back up with us that she learned the truth and she was so relieved. She misses you.”
“I can’t be a father to her child,” he admitted sadly. “It would put them both in danger.”
“Kida knows that already,” she told him. When he gave her a perplexed look, she went on to say, “All she wants is to see you again and for you to meet your baby boy. She expects nothing else from you…but these are all things you need to hear from her. Please, Rex...go to Kida once the girls get here.”
Rex’s head was swimming with all sorts of thoughts at everything he was hearing: shock, disbelief, guilt, melancholy, doubt and even a small touch of joy. He was at a loss at what to really think, feel or do. If it were any other time, he would’ve immediately thought to do the honorable thing and help Kida raise her baby, but he was wanted by the Empire. Staying with her would endanger both her and the child and he would never do that to them. For a second, he almost believed it would be better if he just stayed away…but there was the part of him deep down that also missed her and yearned to see her again. Knowing she was now on Ord Mantell where he was, too, was only making that longing grow even more. His mind and his heart were at war within him.
What was he going to do?
As he was lost in thought, the doors to the parlor opened up and they saw both Rina and Lex come walking in. 
“Aren’t you guys a sight for sore eyes?” Rina asked before Wrecker scooped her up into his arms. 
Seeing Wrecker hug Rina and then Echo kissing Lex made Rex’s eyes nearly pop out of his head and Kimber had to stifle a laugh. “Yeah, um…Wrecker and Rina are together now as are Echo and Lex,” she told the stunned Captain.
"And I thought finding out I was a father was shocking enough," he stated.
"Hey, where's Kimber?" they heard Lex ask.
"Over here," Kimber called out, standing up and making her way over to them. 
The two ladies turned around and were about to greet her when their eyes caught Rex now walking beside her. Both of them were highly surprised to see him. 
"Well, Force alive…the stiff has returned," said Rina, putting a hand on her hip.
"It's good to see you again, Captain," then said Lex. 
He gave them a nod and responded as he and Kimber halted in front of them, "It's good to see both of you."
Rina took a couple steps closer to him and then proceeded to punch him hard in the arm, eliciting a startled grunt from him. "That's for being off comms for so long," she said gruffly. "And--does he know about Kida?" she then asked Kimber. 
"Yes," she said.
With that confirmation, Rina then punched Rex in his other arm and he grunted in pain again. "That's for knocking up Kida and never bothering to check in with her."
"I apologize," said Rex, rubbing his arm, "but there was still a war going on and then I've been on the run from the Empire, so I couldn't keep up communications."
Rina pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes at him. "I just hear excuses," she said in return, but then she couldn't hold back a small smirk on her face. 
Lex gave her a light shove and playfully chided her, "Oh, cut him some slack, Rina. He's been through enough already." Then she returned her attention to the Clone Captain. "Are you here to see Kida?"
He bashfully answered, "No, I…I didn't even know you girls were here. I'd learned the Bad Batch were here and came looking for them."
"Well then, you'd better go to her," Rina proclaimed. "She needs to see you and you need to meet your kid."
"I hear you and I want to, but Kida and I…I don't know where we stand or even what we are," he said to her. "We were barely together the last time I saw her and--"
"It doesn't matter what you are," she interrupted. "What matters is that you're important to her, you're the reason her life is the way it is now and you've gotta own up to it. The woman cries herself to sleep every other night missing you and just hoping you're okay."
That last sentence hit Kimber hard as she remembered a day some time ago when she'd heard Kida crying in one of the rooms. Rina and Irys had the baby and were told Kida just needed rest, but when she'd come out of the room, Kimber could tell she was hiding something. Now it all made sense to her.
Rina kept going, "She deserves a visit from you; it's the least you can do after what you've already done. Now go see her before I drag you over to our ship myself and you know I'm capable of doing so."
The Bad Batch all exchanged looks, feeling a tad awkward watching this situation and also wondering what Rex was going to do. 
The Captain too seemed taken aback at Rina's straightforwardness. Her words struck something in him to where he almost couldn't speak for a moment. He sighed heavily, weighing his options for a moment. Then he turned to Kimber and asked her, "Will you come with me?"
Kimber couldn't hold back a proud grin at the fact Rex was going to see Kida after all. Then she replied, "Of course."
"We'll catch up later. We need to give our mission report to Cid," said Lex.
"Go get her, Cap," added Rina, satisfied, as she and Lex walked away towards Cid's office. 
Hunter and Echo both saluted Rex, Tech bowed his head and Wrecker and Omega waved to him as he and Kimber exited Cid's parlor together to head to the Aurora.
Tumblr media
"I don't know if I can do this," Rex told Kimber apprehensively as the ramp to the Aurora came down in front of them. 
She snickered at him. "What? The brave Clone Captain who's fought Separatists, terrorists, armies of battle Droids and even Sith is afraid of simply talking to an old flame?"
"I've been trained for all of that…not this," he said back. 
"You'll be okay, Rex. Just be honest with her and with yourself." She took his arm and gently pulled him forward with her. "Come on. The longer you wait, the harder it'll be for you to face her. You've got this."
Rex swallowed hard. It wasn't like him to be this nervous about anything, but the thought of facing Kida, who he'd learned he'd gotten pregnant and left alone, terrified him. Even though Kimber and Rina had assured him that she would be happy to see him again, there was the fact that he couldn't stay with her and having to tell her that was what scared him the most. He feared she'd resent him for it…and he didn't know if he'd be able to bear that. 
As they walked into the ship, Kimber called out for Irys, who soon walked into the main area of the ship where they were. 
"Oh my--Captain!" she exclaimed, startled at seeing Rex. 
"Where's Kida?" Kimber asked.
"She's in her room," Irys told her. 
With another deep breath, Rex then stepped forward. "Will you show me which room?"
Irys nodded. 
"Good luck, Captain," said Kimber as he followed after Irys. 
The Togruta woman led Rex down a hall and stopped in front of one of the doors. She knocked and said loud enough for Kida to hear, "Kida, there's someone here to see you."
"Send them in," they heard Kida call back. 
Irys opened the door and gave Rex another encouraging nod. Then he stepped through the door, knowing it was now or never. 
The door closed behind him and he waited for only a few seconds before Kida emerged from an adjoining room and she stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes growing wide in shock at seeing him before her. He noticed her hair was a bit longer than before and she wore a simple, pale lavender dress; different from the lavish style he recalled her liking, but apart from that, she was still as beautiful as he remembered. Flashes of their passionate encounter over a year prior circled his mind, remembering how her body felt against his, how their lips fit together perfectly, how her touch sent a fire through him he'd never felt before and how right and perfect it felt being with her; to give in to his own desires for once. Seeing her now really made him realize how much he'd truly missed her.
On the other side of the room, Kida found herself speechless, for once. She had practically accepted that she would never see Rex again and yet, here he was in her room, standing in front of her. She blinked a couple times, believing she had to be imagining things. 
"Rex…?" she asked aloud.
Then he only spoke two words:
"Hey, Kida."
A small gasp escaped her and her hand shot up to her mouth. It really was him. Her Clone Captain she longed for every day; the father of her child was actually here! She couldn't believe it. She looked him over for a moment and he seemed to be about the same as he was when she last saw him. Still as handsome and dashing as ever.
She was a tad embarrassed about her excitement at seeing him, so she said something that was more like the old her that he was familiar with. Though, her voice still choked slightly with emotion as she said, "Is that a blaster under your poncho…or are you just happy to see me?"
Rex couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head in response. "Nice to see you haven't changed," he said. 
"Never," she stated, unable to hold back her smile.
There was a brief moment of silence between them as they both just stared at each other, taking in that they were now unexpectedly reunited after over a year after they both believed they’d never be together again. A light, uneasy tension hung in the air as they both debated on what to say to each other.
Finally, Rex broke the silence and said, “You look good.”
“Thanks. So do you,” she replied. “How…how did you know I was here?”
“I actually didn’t. I found out the Bad Batch were on Ord Mantell and came to find them. Then Kimber told me you and the girls had come here, too,” he explained. He took a small step forward and then added, with a hint of sympathy in his tone, “She also told me…about how I left you…and about the baby.”
For a second, Kida was stunned to hear he already knew about that, but then supposed she couldn’t be mad at Kimber for spilling the secret. It was probably better that he knew about that before seeing her. Even so, that eased things on her own mind, not having to worry about telling him that herself. 
“I see,” she simply said, wringing her hands together. “I know that was probably quite a shock to hear.”
“Yeah, it was,” he admitted. He took another step further into the room. “Kida, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.”
“Don’t apologize,” she said sweetly. “It wasn’t like you got me pregnant intentionally and honestly, it’s okay. The girls have been an amazing support system for me through all of this. I was never alone. You have nothing to be sorry for.”
Rex just remained silent, uncertain as to how or why she wasn’t mad at him in any way.
Then she smiled again and asked him, “Would you like to meet your son?”
He could feel his stomach twist and his chest tighten anxiously. He wanted to see the baby, but then it still frightened him knowing that it would all bring reality crashing down on him that he was now a father. Was he ready for such a thing to truly be made real for him? However, then he saw the beautiful Pantoran who mothered that child, holding out a hand to him, inviting him now into her world that had just been her and her son. In any other situation, a woman who had been made pregnant and the father just up and left her would’ve been resentful and more than likely wouldn’t want the man to be involved in her child’s life after that…but not Kida. She was different…and Rex always knew that. Hence why had ended up falling for her in the first place and why she clearly still held feelings for him, too. Feeling comforted by her simple gesture, he took hold of her hand and allowed her to lead him into the next door room she had just come out of.
First, he saw the bassinet…and then the blue-skinned baby boy came into view.
The child was asleep, swaddled in a light gray blanket and Rex immediately noticed the now fluffy blonde hair he had and knew right away that made the baby his. There were small yellow dots that were starting to form into markings on the boy’s cheeks. Even with the baby's eyes closed, Rex could see faint similarities to his own face in the boy’s features. He had seen babies and small children before, but seeing this one and knowing this was his own child; his flesh and blood felt so different. His heart was swelling with awe at seeing the life he had unknowingly created. 
Kida noticed pretty quickly that Rex was almost unable to take his eyes off the baby and she grinned to herself. He was reacting better than she’d thought. “This is Kori,” she told him. “I gave him that name from ‘Koriena’ since it’s because of the Koriena Force that both you and him were brought into my life.”
“I think you named him well,” he said, turning to face her.
“Thank you,” she said in return. Then she looked down lovingly at her baby. “Having him truly turned my life around and he’s everything to me now. I never thought I’d ever be a mother…but now I can’t imagine a life without our son.” She returned her gaze to Rex and inquired, “Would you like to hold him?”
His eyes flashed nervously for a second. “I…I don’t really know how…,” he hesitantly admitted.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you,” she told him as she was already reaching into the bassinet and carefully picking Kori up out of it. She cradled him in her own arms and said, “You just hold him like this.”
She repositioned the baby out of her arms and held him gently as she transferred him over to Rex, who was doing his best to imitate what Kida had shown him. She placed the baby, who was now squirming a little from the movement, into his arms and tenderly shifted his arms just a little so he was holding Kori properly. Briefly, Rex was stiff at this new position he found himself in, but then he looked down at the baby; his baby he now held just as the little one wiggled a little more, a tiny squeak emitting from his mouth, and then he opened his eyes. A tiny pair of golden brown eyes met a similar set of eyes of the same color and Rex found himself lost in the pure, innocent gaze of his son.
“Look at that…he knew he was with his father and wanted to see you,” Kida commented, a hand over her heart.
He couldn’t suppress a grin at that thought and at seeing Kori’s eyes that were just like his for the first time. “Hello, Kori,” he whispered, leaning down closer to him. 
Kori let out a small coo and then did something Rex wasn’t anticipating: the child raised one of his arms, which had come out of the swaddle, and placed his tiny hand on Rex’s chin. Feeling his delicate touch made Rex’s heart melt immediately. Somehow, with that single action from the baby, he just knew in his heart that Kori recognized him as his father, just as Kida suspected. With that one gesture, he knew he was undone. With a happy chuckle, he tilted his head down and touched his forehead ever so gently to Kori’s.
With great pride and an overpowering feeling of paternal love he’d never experienced before in his life, he declared, “My son.”
Kida nearly wanted to burst into tears at seeing Rex like this. The image before her of him holding their son and being so tender and loving with him was just the perfect dream. If fate had been kinder to them both, she could clearly envision the two of them settling down and raising their son together. She believed he would be a wonderful father. She was very fond of Rex already, but now, seeing him with their child and already doting on him…she knew deep down that she could easily fall in love with the Clone Captain. If she honestly hadn’t already. More than anything, she was just happy to see that he adored Kori just as much as she did.
Rex then stepped closer to Kida and looked up finally from the baby to her. “He really is perfect,” he told her.
“He certainly is,” she agreed, smoothing her hand over Kori’s head.
Then, to her slight surprise, she saw Rex’s happy expression begin to falter and just as she was about to ask what was wrong, he said, “Kida…as much as I want to…I can’t help you raise him.” His sorrowful gaze met hers. “I have to keep myself hidden from the Empire and if I stayed, it would put you both in danger. That’s a risk I can’t take.”
She nodded to him and mustered a smile, though there was an unmistakable look of sadness behind it. “I understand,” she said. “I honestly expected as much. As wonderful as it would be for you to be an active part of Kori’s life, I wouldn’t want you to risk your safety like that for us.”
After he set Kori back down into his bassinet, he came back up and faced her directly. “I can’t promise you anything,” he stated. 
“Rex, it’s okay,” she assured him. “I know the position you’re in and I’ve never expected anything from you because of it. Honestly, this visit right now was more than I ever thought I’d get…and it’s been more than enough.”
That seemed to ease the guilt Rex carried and he could feel the burden on his shoulders growing lighter now. He moved right in front of Kida and gently grasped her arms as he stated, “I can promise you this: I will continue to do all I can to make this galaxy a safer place for our son. I will never stop fighting to protect him…and to protect you.”
She inhaled sharply and her heart skipped a beat inside her at him including her in his promise. There was a sincere look in his eyes that showed her that he meant it. Did this mean he still cared about her? 
Before she could stop herself, she half-blurted out, “I’ve missed you so much, Rex.” His handsome face softened at hearing this and she went on, the words she’d wanted to say for so long just spilling from her mouth, “I’ve never forgotten our time together on Balmorra, no matter how short it was, and the moment we shared in that cruiser med bay. I know we didn’t have a lot of time for any sort of relationship to really develop between us before we went our separate ways, but you were constantly in my thoughts, even before you left. You became more important to me than I imagined you would…and when I found out I was carrying your child…I was actually happy. I was going to have a child whose father actually meant something to me and I would always have a part of you with me, even if I never saw you again.” Her golden eyes were beginning to fill with tears and she stopped to quickly brush them away. “I’m sorry, that was probably more than what you wanted to hear. I just had to be honest with you.”
Then she felt his hand slip into hers and he said as she looked at him, “No…that was everything I wanted to hear.” He took her other hand and caressed the back of it with his thumb. “I know I came to realize how I felt just before we parted ways, but that moment we shared in the med bay has never left my mind either. You have never left my mind. Many times, I would wonder if you were well and hoped maybe someday, I’d get the chance to see you again and…see if that spark was still there.”
She looked hopefully into his eyes. “Well, we’re here now…do you still think it is?”
In response to that question, he decided to take the chance he’d been wanting to since he’d stepped foot in her room. He gently cradled her face in his hand, leaned forward and gave her a tender kiss, letting it linger as he relished in the feeling of her lips kissing him back. The familiar surge of warmth he remembered from a long time ago returned to his chest and his arms made their way around her waist, pulling her closer as their kiss deepened. 
After a moment, he broke the kiss and pulled back to look into her lovely face again. “Yeah…I’d say there’s still a spark there,” he said with a pleased grin.
“I wholeheartedly agree,” she replied, smiling back at him.
“Listen…I don’t know what I’m doing or what this means for us,” he confided in her, “but I do know that I care about you and I want you and our son to be safe. If anything happened to either of you…I don’t know what I’d do.”
“Lucky for you, I’ve got the Koriena Force and the Bad Batch to help with that in your absence,” she said.
Then he asked her, a little timidly as he gestured between the two of them, “Kida…what do you want this to mean? Where do we stand?”
She was touched that he legitimately wanted to know her opinion on their relationship. She thought for a brief moment before telling him, “Well…we may not be a traditional couple nor were we ever, but we are lovers and you’re the father of my child. On top of that, we genuinely care about each other. Do we really need much more than that to be happy with where we are now?”
That explanation seemed to be enough for Rex. Now more content with the situation, being there with the woman he cared about most and their baby son, he simply replied, “You’re right…I suppose we don’t.”

Will I get through all the chapters by the weekend? Unlikely. But at least I can get through a couple more tonight.
Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 6, Chapters 3-4 below.
Note: Several references to Stampede's aesthetic choices below.
Chapter 3: Cross X Assassins
Goshdarn, we had to start out with Legato, didn't we? This is pre-spider-smash Legato, but still.
Legato's idea of a game sucks. There's a reason Vash didn't want to play. A GOOD reason.
A;ALJSDF;LAJDL;F This sopping wet cat... I want to wrap him in a towel like a burrito and hope he doesn't kill me and feels marginally better about the world when he inevitably gets free. That's the best anyone can do for him, really, and more than he deserves.
Oh, look. Elandira's already got him wrapped up like a burrito.
Tumblr media
He remains alive out of sheer stubbornness to get Knives-sama to someday notice him.
Elandira reading El Gato like a book here.
Hahahahahaha, now he's literally sopping wet.
"They anger me to the point of madness!!" You don't say....
Oooooh, Double Fang I know. Trip of Death is new.
He looks soooooo bummed that he doesn't get to go play with them. I'd feel sorry for him if it wasn't for **redacted**.
Tumblr media
Man, all these people and their bikes. Are bikes like this practical in sand? My family was never one of those "go to the desert and ride around" types... but from what I remember, that was mostly done on quads. Eh, I guess bikes are what Nightow really wanted to draw.
LOL, they have so many guns....
That gate looks like a church door.
I don't trust this dead-eyed kid.
Dude. Don't do drugs, kids.
Pffftthahahahaha, Legato's so happy that things are going sideways with the meeting. Only he gets to be the special one!
I'm actually really looking forward to learning about the Eye of Michael. They didn't come up in '98, so their presence was a surprise to me in Stampede.
Cross assassins, indeed.
So much for their fancy gate.
Ohhh, that is definitely a ship, isn't it.
Tumblr media
Ok, so the dead-eyed kid mentioned this place having three towers... and the more I look at it, the more I'm getting crucifixion imagery vibes. Like, you have the prominent one in the middle that's Jesus's cross, and it's flanked by the smaller ones a little further back that were the crosses of the thieves. Maybe I'm stretching a bit. I dunno.
His ability to retain all his clothes after roiding out is impressive.
"Joe Tooth," huh? That's a terrible name.
Eyyyy, look at all those familiar-looking crosses! I'm sure that's not ominous or problematic in the slightest!
Elandira was supposed to be hosting this meeting, but Legato's taking charge again.
So much for the newcomers. Check out that mask, though. Now I know where Stampede's inspiration came from, especially given that Nightow asked them to up the tech in the series.
Tumblr media
Ew. Ew ew ew ew. Surely there was somewhere better for him to keep them? What the hell happened to his tongue? I have a lot of questions and I'm not sure I want the answers to any of them... but man, is this boy dedicated to his terrible, terrible game.
Chapter 4: Death Omen
Ahhhh, what a great title page of Knives! Like, he's got all the blades out, but his face is so calm, they might as well be groceries. A wonderful contrast that highlights his casual relationship with extreme violence.
So, apparently, Stampede got the inspiration for its Knives ass shots from Maximum, too.
Tumblr media
Also, who's letting him wander around in public??? He shouldn't be allowed out and about. No, Elandira does not count as a responsible babysitter.
Arrrrrgggghhhh, he's doing that thing where he looks too similar to Vash. A sad Vash. He looks like sad Vash.
This guy gets it. That's the doctor, right?
Tumblr media
Elandira, getting off on the prospect of violence.
I like how you can tell who it is just by the silhouette here.
Tumblr media
The doctor knew Knives as a boy? Just how old is this man??
Goshdarnit, Vash is wanted for the death of this guy, and he's just prancing around all alive like it's NBD. Rude. At least have the grace to be dead if you're gonna be involved in a plot to frame someone for killing you.
This is actually really poignant. I think it's the first solid suggestion we've had that Knives wasn't born a genocidal maniac.
Tumblr media
Sooooo many plants. Stampede took heavy inspiration from this, too.
Look at these skrungly boys being skrungly.
Tumblr media
Body horror time!
Her hair....
Knives doesn't look like he's in a forgiving mood. Can't say I blame him, all things considered.
Good to see him doing the "My name is Millions Knives and I have lots of blades" thing, I guess?
Yeah, I'd panic a bit if I saw a giant scythe manifest in the middle of town, too.
Looks like Knives is having some trouble controlling his angel (?) arm, too.
HIS HAIR!!!! D:
Tumblr media
Of course, he immediately starts putting two and to together with Vash's hair. Now if he can just make the connection that Vash using all that power is his fault.
Goodbye, Conrad. We hardly knew thee.
Vash senses something's wrong with his brother. I wonder if he can guess what.
You know, that really adds some weight to the chapter title, Death Omen. The Death Omen is the dark hair, but Vash has been carrying that around since Fifth Moon.

AHHHH SL EXCIFED FOR MORE GHOST OF YOU! I had an idea where it’s before JJ rescues her and John b is like where’s my sister and they are all kind of quiet and they tell him what’s been happening and she’s stuck there at the Cameron’s and stuff with whatever details you want to include!
let's do it, blurb time baby
navigation -- series masterlist
The hype of arriving back in OBX after the adventure in Charleston was invigorating. John B couldn’t believe he was actually standing in front of his house in one piece, alive, after everything that happened. He was so glad to be home, to be back with you and all of your friends. 
Standing in front of the chateau, John B could tell something was weird. He was already confused why you weren’t in Charleston with the rest of the Pogues but the site of the dark house sent a chill down his spine. Even if you were at work when they left, you always left the porch light on. No matter what. 
“Where’s Y/N?”
His question silenced the group as they hesitated to answer him. He turned towards his best friends, the worry in his chest escalating with each heavy minute. “Where’s Y/N? Where’s my sister?” He repeated to coax an answer out of them.
“John B…” Kie mumbled his name, unsure of what exactly to say. I mean, how do you tell someone who just came back from supposed death that their only family remaining is being held captive by two murderers. 
“JJ?” John B looked towards the blond in question, knowing he would answer if Kiara didn’t. 
The Maybank boy let out a small wince when his name was called. He knew he would have to tell John B at some point what happened after the ship disappeared in the ocean waves, but he was grieving and to be honest, JJ was exhausted. He had lost two of his best friends since childhood within the same day. He had felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders for so long and seeing John B lifted a ton of that, but the load doubled with the question directed at him. 
“Um,” JJ took a deep breath. He avoided having to recount the night that you were taken from his arms. You probably hated him, shit, he hated himself for letting you just go back without any kind of fight, but at the time, he thought it was the best option. 
Since then, JJ, Kie, and Pope had barely given up trying to see you. It was hard to get near the Camerons, especially after their added defense from the public eye. JJ knew something was wrong. He always did, but they had to figure out the best course of action on what to do next. Now that John B was here, JJ felt like they had a fighting chance.
“She’s… with the Camerons still,” He finally answered. The dread on John B’s face was evident as the words sunk in. His sister, his baby sister who he swore to take care of and protect after their dad disappeared, was with the man who tried to kill him. The man who killed their father. 
“She’s at my house?” Sarah’s voice cracked with the question, fear instilling itself in her chest as she thought of you, alone, with her dad and brother. She could only hope Wheezie was there to provide you some sort of comfort in the chaos. 
JJ nodded slowly, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “We haven’t seen her since the night you guys dipped into the ocean.”
“But we’re close!” Pope interjected with a positive outlook. “And actually, now that Sarah’s here, we might have a shot at this.” He turned towards Kiara and JJ with a hopeful expression. It was true, they had a plan ready to go but it would need some reinforcement. 
“Let’s do it. Now,” Sarah was pushing John B through the front door of the chateau in seconds, guilt gnawing at her for how out of control this all was that her boyfriend’s sibling was dragged into it.
John B felt warm with comfort at the sight of his childhood home, cleaned up as you would’ve left it. You were always up his ass about doing better and watching out for both of you. Now, it was his turn to care for you.
He easily noticed the papers scattered across the counter with different layouts of the Camerons’ house including all entry points, windows, and lights. “What the hell…”
“I did some digging.” Kiara admitted with a shrug. “Sarah, if you can show us where the cameras are, that’s all we need. JJ can go in and get her tonight.”
John B turned to face his girlfriend, a pinch of nerves running through his body if she would want to, if she was able to. Sarah gave a determined nod, pulling the papers from under John B’s fingers as she grabbed a pen. “Let’s get her back.”

Hey @spoonergodofspoons has gotten far enough in one piece for me to start recommending fanfics so I thought it would be easiest to post them here! Consider this my one piece fanfics rec list for people who recently got halfway through dressrossa
Part 1: early asl reunions
Look I am a sucker for these fics, and aren't we all a little in denial about marineford?
A present that's a mystery (giving you your history) by midnightluck you might see that name a couple of times here, I love their fics so much idk if they have a tumblr
Anyway this is about 5.5k of sabo getting his memories back early (because koala found embarrassing baby photos of him for his birthday) and reunion fluff, one chapter for Ace, one chapter for Luffy
Wish by spirit and if yes by midnightluck LOOK I TOLD YOU THEYRE REALLY GOOD AND I LIKE THIS ONE EVEN MORE THAN THE LAST!! it's an au where the RA send someone to keep in touch with the whiteboards every now and again, and now it's sabo's job! This fic has my favourite reunion of all time and I won't say anymore because if there's one fic on this list you should read it's this one - 32k
Twin flames by soccersarah01 , again, no idea if they have a tumblr
Ace calls sabo his twin while in impel down and this has .. consequences. Reunion! Gol D Sabo! Fucking with the government! What more could you ask for in a fic! 66.666k
Speak up boys! By @plantwithoutplot , a solid contender for just being one of my favourite fics ever, it's currently sitting at about 69k (nice) and chapter 9/31 and look I know it's incomplete but it's SO GOOD
it's a time travel au, where the asl bros end up on Gol D Roger's ship. Ace is trying to commit patricide, Sabo is trying to be the reasonable one and Luffy is... Luffy. Everybody is having a rough time of it and auuugggg the angst of being reunited but knowing you have changed so much and what if you don't know them anymore and what if you are no longer the person they loved and AHHHH go read it!! Read it now!!!
Chasing the remnants by @29rynoah sabo goes with dragon to loguetown! This one moves a little slower than the others in terms of how long it takes for the characters to actually be reunited, but the writing is really good!! The payoff when they finally get to see each other again? The character work? Incredible, 40k and I know I said it moves slower but when I was reading it I swear it only felt like 10k
Being together we are stronger than ever by starryyah
Body swap! ASL can have a little body swap, as a treat! I'm sure nothing will go wrong! 13k
Part 2: Lawlu!
Okay, I know I'm a big proponent of platonic lawlu and I cannot see Luffy in any kind of romantic relationship I really can't- however some people are writing really good lawlu and I am a little bit closing my eyes and saying yes it is queerplatonic. To me.
I Love Luffy by missdreamgirl32 you know what I just want to steal one of their tags to sell this to you: Law tries to play three-dimensional chess against two guys playing go fish and loses
The character dynamics in this are so fucking good, I'm also actually just going to steal the summary right from the work because I get way to lost trying to explain everything else which is cool about this fic if I try to synopsise it:
After hearing Luffy off-handedly mention he has a boyfriend, and worried there might be some misunderstanding, Ace and Sabo decide to track the guy down and invite him out to dinner
Anyway it's really fucking good check it out it's only 10k I have read it... Many times (could be read as romantic, I do not)
The mysterious Torao by spooky_vallimo
This one is romantic but it's so fucking funny, spare 3k words worth of time to read this drabble, au where Luffy and Trafalgar met as kids, if you enjoy it there are some more works in the series
Come to sea with me, where we can be free by siojo
This is the only au that's set in a completely different world on this list, I guess I love Luffy is a different world but it's not fantasy different, its more a modern au
Anyway siren AU!
this one is again, a lil different to the others on the list, which are largely character studies
This one is on the list because I'm a little obsessed with the story aside from one piece characters? It's just really well written and has interesting lore and world building
It's also kind of a sad/bittersweet fic, and some of the characters do eat humans (because siren) so yeah, this one has a different vibe to the other fics on this list but it occupies a certain space in my brain, only 8k
Part 3: Miscellaneous!
This is ASL stuff that isn't necessarily early reunion, or is only about one or two of them
The world doesn't deserve you by dezace
Okay so what if I told you there is an au where asl brothers are pirates together as children? And that it was 47k and had other works in the same universe?
Great, you're on board? Now, this is the only fic on this list to have made me cry
It is HEAVY ANGST and Spooner I know I'm making this list for you but it will HURT YOU and you may not want to read it, the ASL bros may be alive but they were the only survivors after a buster call was made on goa, and everyone else on the island died, and everyone believes the trio to be dead for a very long time
But if you do decide to read this fic which will hurt you, the emotional catharsis at the end is REALLY GOOD!! and there are many more short stories in the universe!!
But if this all seems a bit too ouch, the this author has a different, more light hearted series: Luffy was raised as a marine and makes it everyone's problem, which is a fun good time where Luffy knows marine codes and uses them to save ace, among other things
Man I wanna go reread the world doesn't deserve you again
On brotherhood by @ladycrimsonandblack
This is a lovely little fic where Luffy is the elder brother, just over 4k
There's this very specific fic niche where Luffy is older and he meets up with Ace while Ace is unwillingly being recruited onto the whiteboards and I just love it, this is the second one I've read and now I'm going to see if I can track down the other
Update this is it
Anyway yeah this is a very specific genre of fic, but it turns out I'm very fond of it
Whatever you can still betray by midnightluck
Have something short fun and fluffy! In this fic Haruta of the whitebeards thinks Ace is a marine spy, but that's fine they're going to keep him anyway! 6.5k, one of my faves

I also remember loving the monsters in Scooby Doo 2 XD They're cool as hell XD Especially when the ghost pirate ship floats over the city and the scuba diver comes up from the water?? And the 100 watt ghosts voice!??? Ahhhh so spooky I love them. These bits, plus Disney's Once Upon a Halloween were Formative Moments 😅😅😆

Hey! If you're still accepting prompts, I'd like to request: bad fruit. My #1 choice is always ronance but if you wanna try something different, could be Karen/Joyce (they've really grown on me lately) or any other ST femslash pairing you feel like writing at this moment <3
Ahhhh thank you for the push to try my hand at Karen/Joyce! What is the ship name for this??? I feel like every time I learn it I immediately forget it again. Anyway, I had a great time hurting my feelings with this one! No major warnings, I don't think, other than Joyce making herself sad.
Mike and Will go running out into the back yard, the kitchen door banging shut behind them, and Joyce sinks heavily into one of the chairs at the table. After a moment’s hesitation, Karen sits down next to her. Not across from her, Joyce notices, but close enough that Joyce can smell the chemical musk of her hairspray.
“How are you?” Karen asks, and Joyce feels her shoulders sink. She knows how this conversation is going to go, just from the tone of Karen’s voice. It’s what Joyce thinks of as her sympathetic PTA mom voice, all superficial concern. They used to have real conversations, once, but these days it’s mostly small-talk when one or the other of them is dropping one of the boys off.
“We’re doing OK,” Joyce says, and in some respects, that’s an understatement. Sure, money’s tighter than it used to be, and it’s not as if she doesn’t notice the other mothers whispering about her when she goes shopping at Bradley’s, but in a lot of ways, it’s a relief to have Lonnie out of their lives. Still, when she looks around the cluttered kitchen, she can’t help seeing it through Karen’s eyes—the dirty dishes stacked in the sink, the overfull ashtray on the table, the pair of shriveled apples sitting in the fruit bowl. The sad, lonely little life of a woman even a loser like Lonnie Byers doesn’t want.
She can feel Karen watching her, and when she finally looks up, Joyce is surprised to see an expression of chagrin on her face, not the sickly pity she was expecting. “I don’t know why I said it like that,” Karen says. “Of course you’re going OK.” She doesn’t sound insincere this time. “You’re . . . I mean . . .” She shakes her head, at a loss for the right words. “Oh, screw Lonnie,” she says finally, looking almost shocked at herself for saying it. “I always knew you could do better than him.”
Joyce laughs, embarrassed at this unexpected praise. “I don’t know about that.”
“I do,” Karen insists. “You’ve always been a catch. Even back in high school, you always seemed so cool, skipping class and smoking with the boys.”
Joyce doesn’t admit this was mostly because she was afraid of saying the wrong thing to the other girls. It always seemed so much more complicated, navigating the all the arbitrary rules and complicated social hierarchies girls constructed around themselves. Things were just easier with guys like Jim and Lonnie. At least she always knew where she stood with them, even if she didn’t always like the view from there. “Well, it’s been a long time since then.”
“Please,” Karen says, dismissing this with a breezy wave of her hand. “You’re still a catch. You’re beautiful and smart and you’re so good with the boys. Half the time, I don’t even know what Mike’s talking about, but you always make the effort.” She puts a hand over Joyce’s where it rests on the table, and Joyce wonders how she keeps her hands so soft. “Anyone would be lucky to have you.”
There’s something in Karen’s voice that sounds a little too earnest, but when Joyce glances over, Karen’s not looking at her anymore, her gaze fixed on the wooden fruit bowl on the counter, those two sad little apples.
It’s not the first time Joyce has wondered if just maybe . . . ? It’s nothing definitive, just little moments she’s sure nobody else would even notice. Like that one time at the Wheelers’ Christmas party—it must have been ’78 or ’79, not long before Karen got pregnant with Holly—when she’d caught Karen looking at her across the crowded living room with an expression of what she could only call longing. She told herself in the moment it was just late-night maudlin sentimentality from all the mulled wine, but there have been nights when the look on Karen’s face has come back to Joyce like an ache in her chest, and she’s let herself wonder what if.
But there’s no point in wondering, not really. What would Karen Wheeler, of all people, ever do about it, if she really did feel that way? Would she divorce her husband and blow up her comfortable suburban life, move her kids into Joyce’s cramped little house like some sort of backwards Brady Bunch? Of course she wouldn’t. Even if she did think of Joyce that way, one glance at the dusty curtains and the slowly spoiling fruit on the counter could reminder her what she really wants.
Joyce slips her hand from beneath Karen’s and stands up from the table. “Coffee?” she says. “Or—is it too late for coffee?”
Karen shakes her head. “No,” she says quietly, “not too late for me.”

as someone who rewatches 2001 aso every couple of years to get my mind blown, please do go unhinged in talking about the dirkjake au. that is SUCH a cool idea.
AHHHH okay so . there's a lot here because it is important to me to keep the integrity of both properties as intact as i can while still achieving what i want to creatively (worth mentioning that this is based on a mixture of 2001aso's novel as well as the film). this is very fun for me though because i love doing exposition and worldbuilding. its worth mentioning that i have changed a lot of things as well, and quite drastically. this is for The Vision. okay. the point here is for me to put two things together and create a third entirely different project.
first things first, jane takes the role of heywood floyd. she used to be a very famous and celebrated astronaut (who did work alongside jake) but she retired to go back to her roots in baking. she's still a very trusted and respected name and since she was born into political wealth, she's the person they call to come take a look at the tma-1. (tma-1 isnt a monolith in this au; im changing it to a spiral shaped object for this)
jake takes the role of dave bowman. he got passed down his grandma's tech business after she died and he's spent a good part of his life shifting its gears to space travel. so skaianet makes its own spaceships and shit now. jake juggles his skainet responsibilities with being a storied and celebrated astronaut. hes the captain of the ship (golgotha) and hes told that the mission is to explore a moon of a far off planet called abraxas.
dirk takes the role of frank poole but he's a little more special because he's the guy who created the AR unit (Heehoo hal9000 joke). dirk is a supergenius who raised himself after his bro died in a filmmaking accident. AR started as a scan of his brain and he ended up just dedicating a chunk of his life to creating a Perfect AI. mad scientist vibes but he is casually fucking insane. we're going to crazy places with dirk in this au.
roxy is gonna be their mission control contact, but jake is well acquainted with her through skaianet and dirk is an estranged childhood friend who lost contact with her. we're going to jakeroxy best friends places with this one guys. Oh yeah.
im going to get really into exploring dirk's relationship with his splinters as well as into jake's Everything. i want this to be a kind of abstract character study exercise. i can't really say too much about the AR but he's an integral part of this (obviously) in ways i am only beginning to put on paper. i dont know if im ever gonna post any of it anywhere but i Have started on the fic. this is also a major tldr but if you have questions about more specific things i could absolutely get into it LOL i have a lot of thoughts and things to say.

liveblogging my reaction to s3 e9
the episode name being “the harbinger” is a lil scary to me
ok opening on pabu
“does it matter? we’re not handing her over” he’s got a point
omegas got another outfit it looks like
i didnt realize how tall batcher is, her hump makes her almost as tall as omega
please be ventress’s ship
AHHHH SHES HERE
fennc probably put a tracker on the marauder
wrecker copying hunter
WRECKER PUTTING HIS HANDS ON OMEGAS SHOULDER
i hope we see quinlan
wrecker being omegas cheerleader i love him
ventress basically said “shut the fuck up and focus”
ok so they know who ventress is
aww omega can ride batcher
“wrong. get in your ship and go before we make you.” have i mentioned how much i love wrecker
damn she’s fast
omegas gonna come back and be like “😃hey guys i got the… what’s going on why are yall fighting”
yknow what i wouldn’t have minded being in hunters place when ventress pushed wrecker back onto him, he’s probably like a big weighted blanket
HUNTER SAID THE THING
also that was the shot from the trailer
how many shots have we gotten this episode that were in the first trailer? 2 at least and omega saying “i need to know what i am” from the second one
PUT MY HUSBAND DOWN YOU WENCH
“im many things but i am not your enemy” she says right after wiping the floor with them
“people can change” “you’re being naive” hey dumbass you’re “people”
“they must’ve told you about all the things i’ve done” “they did 😃”
“stop smiling, its unsettling” bro she’s happy
ventress is gonna dump her ass in the ocean isnt she
“i bet you don’t understand any of this either, so why should i listen to you?” girlypop you literally saw her holding up your brother and choking him with the force, clearly she knows something
theres gonna be a big critter aint there
yup
omega got luke skywalker’d
we got wet rat omega and wet rat ventress, WHERES WET RAT HUNTER PLEASE
cross being the one to extend his hand to ventress has to mean something right
the empires probably keeping tabs on ventress, what if that’s how they find out about pabu

Are there any Kim Possible episodes you wouldn't really consider "canon?" Some of the dumber ones like Grande Size Me or Roachie or Blush for example that don't really add to the show.
oh, snap... truthfully i was a little taken aback by anything except Grande Size Me being called dumb, but then i recalled that on my rewatch ahead of the live action i was incredibly impatient with Larry's Birthday. i have since changed my tune, but i was on a binge at the time and eager to get to Graduation, lol.
but, no.... i even consider Grande Size Me to be canon. recall if you will... in fact i think i recently mentioned this... that Kim Possible as a show is chock full of genetic mutation. it's an even more recurring theme than Drakken trying to use robots or mind control to take over the world. so while that episode was made at the direct order of the Disney execs to make a healthy eating episode, and the creators made the episode as horrible as possible on purpose so the execs would stop trying to dictate the show to them.... i still call it canon.
if DNAmy can put Rufus and Barkin in a machine, create a mutant from both of them with the flip of a switch, and then an equally simple flip of a switch brings them back to normal.... yeah. yeah, i can buy the events of Grande Size Me. it's no leap at all, really.
and... okay, Blush??? that one's got me confused. Blush is a highly important episode. first of all, the entirety of the evil plot in the episode is...Drakgo trying to kill Kim "once and for all" in Drakken's words. Disney won't use the word "kill" but Wade explaining that she'll disappear forever is pretty self explanatory. so, the point is...Drakgo are willing to go that far. as if it wasn't already clear.
secondly, the ep shows how great and devoted a friend Ron is, that he risks his life to save not just her life, but also her date. canon tells us that Kim and Ron have secretly crushed on each other all along, but here Ron is helping her date with another dude go well. so to those people who claim Ron is useless or whatever... yeahhh far from it. he's always there for Kim and this is one of those eps where it's just in your face.
important side notes about the ep... we get that delicious defeat montage, which ends with Drakgo shopping together. ahhhh domesticity for my ship! not to mention all those lairs Drakken has... including a space lair. they've all already been to space, very important to note... additionally, we see that Josh isn't necessarily the greatest guy... kissing Kim at the end there after Kim had expressed some physical boundaries. sure the boundaries were because she was busy vanishing, but he still didn't respect them. and, AND...! this is the precursor to the plot of So the Drama, where Drakken first starts researching what makes Kim, a teen girl, tick. i could go on but...yeah this episode is great.
and Roachie is one of the many delightful shorts, expanding the KP universe beyond the weekly villains. i can't think of another show to reference right now, but some of the bigger TV buffs out there can certainly name some... like...i guess like Batman fights the Joker each week, defeats him, he's hauled off to Arkham, then back again for the next episode! like...very typical cartoon stuff. or Bugs and Elmer Fudd always trying to outwit each other. Kim always fighting the same villain(s) kind of limits the show and makes it feel like an even...lesser version of 'monster of the week.' sooooo....yeah, for starters, this episode brings something fresh. it always gives Kim a very human very real flaw, for the girl who can do anything. and it gives Ron yet another unique gift and moment to shine. and personally i loved the one-off villain. a person might get impatient with the episode and want to move on to their fave villains, i totally understand that. but...not consider it canon???
i.... i hope you can send me another ask of deeper explanation, Anon? because why wouldn't any of these be canon??? not someone's fave ep, okay that's fine, people's taste is subjective and that's everyone's freedom. but not canon? they all fit in perfectly with the KP universe and i'm quite perplexed by them being called dumb and not adding to the show.

what's your favorite canon (and non canon!) ships from the show/tasw canon? least favorite?
also just caught up and ahhhh so glad roxy and camille finally made up! are we gonna see the girlies at a sleepover next chapter? 👀
SUCH A GOOD QUESTION AHH! thank you! - as per usual i have a very long answer and i don't really know ship names so bear with me and find it under the cut
from the show:
its so hard for me to put my feelings about this into words because i enjoy most ships coming out of the show both canon and noncanon but i wish there was more of a space for the canon relationships to be developed. like i love jo i think she's great but her only personality traits are acting and kendall's girlfriend, you know?
if i had to pick fav canon ships, i think logan and camille are so funny and despite a few bumps in their relationship they really are made for each other. something about the nerdy guy and his batshit girlfriend get me every single time across most pieces of media.
as for non canon ships... i have many favorites... james and kendall COME ON like. come on. you all know what i mean. come on. i'm not sure if carlos and stephanie counts as non canon but i thought the dance episode in the first season was super cute and i wish they kept her around to develop that relationship more. out of all four boys i think carlos is like. made of boyfriend material and it's shocking to me they play him up to be the most inexperienced romance wise. maybe it's because my himbo opinions lean more into the predominant thought process of this decade than the last but. i love carlos and stephanie! i also remember the first time i watched the show, being a bit surprised they didn't have any relationships for mrs. knight after making a big deal about it in the first season. she and buddha bob had potential i think. can't explain it. james and jett also. hm. hear me out yall. they give catty gay couple on a reality tv show that everybody loves. if jett wasn't so busy trying to bag jo he'd see his perfect match was right there all along...
least favorite canon - james and lucy. i don't know if this is a popular opinion and i do believe that the two had potential if their story had been written differently. but james' borderline obsession with her was creepy and i don't think she'd stop her tour and fly all the way back to america to be with him. if there had been more time to develop their relationship... maybe. but how i interpret lucy's character tells me she wouldn't be all that into him and that her career is more important to her than some guy. and this is not because i love james diamond btw bc i love lucy stone far more! she's to good for all of the boys
least favorite non canon... i'm not sure. i haven't really seen anything that i didn't like while perusing the btr ao3 tag. are there any gustavo and kelly shippers? i'm not sure i'd be on board with that just because gustavo doesn't always treat her very well but otherwise i can't think of any at the moment
from tasw:
obviously james and roxy are perfect this is the only ship that matters and nothing else can top this. lmao!
jokes aside, most of my opinions about ships from the show carry over into the story. i like logan and camille very, very much, i think jo and kendall are cute, i will bring stephanie back eventually once i plot my chapters better
i'm in big debate with myself over some relationship things that could happen in the future, so i don't want to spill and spoil. i feel like dr strange in endgame when he's looking through all the timelines to find the perfect one and i am struggling very, very hard to come to conclusions.
if james and roxy weren't together, i think she and lucy would have a pretty good shot at forming a romantic relationship. they have similar interests for one, i see them writing music together all the time and generally enjoying each other's company. punk rock gf and pop punk gf for the win! she and logan also probably, if camille weren't so madly in love with him
@selangkir wrote an amazing au of tasw in which big time rush was a girlband and james and roxy swapped duties! their characterization of james and dak zevon cut me to the core. they might be my favorite non canon even if they break my heart hehe
honestly the more i think about it the more i think roxy could be happy with everyone LMAO as long as she's in the ship its my favorite bc she's my special perfect girl :)
phew. that was a lot. i'm not very picky.
-
ahh! i'm so happy you were able to catch up on the story. i hope you're enjoying it as much as i am! i was going back through some of my old posts and realized roxy and camille had been fighting since like october i'm so happy they're back!
while it's not quite a sleepover this chapter, they do get to spend some quality time together talking about the upcoming holiday season! i'm almost done with the first section of the chapter and i'm planning on posting the preview soon. a proof of tasw life post if you will, so keep your eyes peeled for our girlies!
but what do yall think? what are your fav/least fav from the show and from my story? id love to know!
thanks so much for reading and thank you for the ask! <33

Imagine.........................Doing a being handcuffed together for 24 hours challenge with the Ranger Gang and you get handcuffed to your crush Javi Garcia (Power Rangers Dino Fury).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: I enjoyed writing this one. I can really imagine this happening. Anyway happy reading.
Key: A/N= Authors Note, Y/N= Your Name and Y/S/N= Yours and Javis ship name.
Zayto: Hey guys.
No-one: ........
Zayto: Wow. Great mood everybody.
You, Javi, Aiyon, Amelia, Izzy and Ollie where sleeping. You were all tired because you just did a 24 hour overnight challenge at BuzzBlast. One thing you should know about you and the gang is that you all love doing 24 hour challenges like; eat things in only one colour, Dating your best friend, Married to your best friend, Saying yes, Living in a tent. Any 24 hour challenges you can think of you'd do it. Accept the 24 hours without electronics. You guys tried that one, but all failed to live without your phones and computers for a day. Zayto found a new challenge 'Handcuffed to your best friend for 24 hours'. So here's were your life gets interesting. You just so happend to be the closest with Javi out of the rest of the guys. And of course you, Izzy, Amelia and Solon are best friends and they know you have a crush on Javi. They told Zayto and the rest of the guys when you and Javi weren't around. Zayto went find a challenge which would hopefully get the two of you to kiss or confess that you like each other.
Javi: So, how dose this even work?
You and the rest of the Ranger Gang looked at him.
Javi: What?! I mean we have never done this one before so.
Everyone just shrugged.
Zayto: Okay. We are all gonna be handcuffed to each other, so girls you get to chose witch one of us you are gonna be handcuffed to for the entire day.
Amelia: I pick Ollie.
Izzy: I pick Aiyon.
Solon came into the room, which gave you and the gang a fright.
Solon: I'll be with Zayto then.
All of you: AHhhh.
You were all relieved when you just saw that it was Solon.
Zayto: Then that just leaves Y/N and Javi.
Your thoughts: oh no, no, no, no, no, de no, no, no.
Javis thoughts: Gosh, okay. Hopefully I don't embarrass myself.
The two of you got snapped back to reality with the sound of the handcuffs being placed on your hands.
Izzy: So what do we do now?
Ollie: We do whatever we want, and meet back a Dino Hinge at the end of the day.
Everyone nodded.
Aiyon: Yes! This is gonna be so much fun.
Aiyon was so exited about this but didn't notice that he accidentally tugged on Izzys hand.
Izzy: OWW! Aiyon.
Aiyon bit his lips.
Aiyon: Sorry. (He says like Chapa does in Danger Force.)
Time Skip brought to you by Javi and all of his instruments.
You: Javi, stop stepping on my toe.
Javi: I'm not on your toe Y/N.
You kicked his leg and started laughing. Javi now realised why you did that and decided to get revenge. He tackled you on the ground so that he was on top of you.
You: Ahhhh. Javi.
Javi: What? I just got some revenge that's all.
He smirked at you.
You: Oh, yeah? Well we're very close aren't we?
He got off of you so you could sit up.
Javi: Y/N, I........I.
You: What?
Javi didn't say anything all did was lean in and kissed you. You were surprised that he'd mad a move but you kissed back. Once you pull away you looked at him and smiled like crazy.
Javi: You're cute. You know that?
You: Am not.
