🚨SPOILERS FOR FANTASY HIGH SOPHOMORE YEAR!!!🚨
Dimension20 "Fantasy High Sophomore Year"
Episode 10 "The Dangerous Mind of Aelwyn Abernant"
Timestamp: 01:21:17
Video Length: 5min.
Kristen tries to use her ribbon dancer to FLY (Fall) out of a WINDOW to get to the first floor before Angwyn does! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€ (With Kristen's MINUS THREE to DEX! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€)
My favorite quotes from this scene!:
1. "Wait, you're just gonna jump out the window of the tower?" (Murph's DM brain IMMEDIATELY kicking in with "This is the STUPIDEST idea I've EVER heard!" πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€ Fully in DENIAL that those words just came out of Ally's mouth πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€)
2. "I'm gonna allow this to happen. Hey, Ally, I'm gonna allow this to happen." (Brennan's way of saying "CONSEQUENCES ARE COMING!" πŸ˜‚πŸ’€)
3. "No no no no no no no no no no oh no no no. We like to ask Brennan for cool things to happen." (πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€)
4. "[All] Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump, Jump" (Bruh! THEY are CHANTING for Kristen to JUMP 10 STORIES?! πŸ˜­βœ‹ This here proves that they ARE the bad kids fr your honor! πŸ˜­βœ‹)
5. "Now, I want, Ally, I want you to look at me, and you tell me, do you feel like a 14 is a high enough roll for your character to be able to use a dance ribbon to fly? Bearing in MIND, that if I say YES, that IF I say yes NOW, I have to say yes every other time you want to do this." (I LOVE how Brennan is just trying to give Ally the DM brain and being like "Think about this in terms of the DM Perspective! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€ And the fact that Ally STILL tried to be like 'yeah definitely! It's above average! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ’€πŸ’€ I LOVE them so much! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚βœ‹βœ‹)
6. "Don't pay attention to THIS noise!" *Takes out thousands of dice* (Brennan full-on just SMILING SO WIDE when that sound happens! πŸ˜­βœ‹)
7. "See, you let Indiana Jones do it, and that's sexist. No one respects femininity in this country." (πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ I JUST LOVE THIS QUOTE!)
8. "You Ally'd out of the Box of Doom, across my lap!" (Using "Ally" as a verb for dropping dice. πŸ’― 10/10!)
⭐9. "So, what happens is this, Kristen, you were like, you were like, I have got to get to the first floor before Angwyn. I have GREAT news. You make it to the first floor WAAAAY before Angwyn does" (Welp! You GOT what you asked for! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€... somewhat)⭐ [My FAVORITE quote of this scene! πŸ˜‚ Just the way Brennan says "YOU GET THERE WAY BEFORE ANGWYN!" πŸ˜‚ Is SO FUNNY TO ME! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ Like- You got your WISH! Oh...whoops! You have 3 hit points left. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€ This move legit was 3 points away from killing Kristen! πŸ˜­βœ‹)
10. "Can we say the ribbon wraps around me, and makes sort of a cushion?" (Ally trying to make the consequence not as bad! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€)
11. "Ooh, I was stress eating celery in that moment. That was crazy." (Poor Lou! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€)
12. "It's so funny how often you try to jump on things with the worst Dex I have ever seen." (πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Kristen likes to jump!!)
I love how Lou immediately goes to back-up Ally when Ally says that they wouldn't understand what "getting into dance" means and Fabian is totally understanding of it! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ’€

Could I request kenma x male reader omegaverse where kenma has a huge crush on reader but doesn't know what to do with it?
Warnings: references to meeting someone on the internet and getting kidnapped/molested.
Omegan Stranger
Kenma Kozume x male reader
"Kenma!! You've gotta meet my friend (Name)! I feel like you guys would like each other!" Hinata jumped onto Kenma, almost latching onto him as a baby koala.
Kenma sighed and tried shaking Hinata off, "Hinata, for the last time please stop coming up behind me, like that you are going to give me a heart attack".
"But! He also likes video games!"
Kenma just stared at Hinata, giving a look, "So you think just because we both like video games, we would like each other? Pass".
"Hey, what are you two gossiping about?". Kurro walked up towards the duo.
"Oh hey, Kurro! I was just telling Kenma about my friend that he would like!"
"Oh is that so~ well you should give up, Kenma's alpha is like non-existent. Speaking of which, are you sure you're an alpha? You know, I've heard of school testing coming out wrong".
"Can both of you quiet down? I'm trying to finish this game before the match starts... also I'm kinda already 'talking' to someone.." Kenma rolled their eyes and focus on his phone.
"WHAT?!"
...
The three walked towards a corner store, "come on Kenma, can you give us a little details about them?"
"No".
Kurro sighed, "Okay... how about where y'all met?".
"On LOL".
Hinata and Kurro, gave eachother a look. "Okay listen buddy, I'm sorry to say but the person might be an 40 old man".
"No they arent".
"Okay! But how do you know! It's a stranger!" Hinata yelled.
"Keep it down please, we are supposed to meet up today at the Internet CafΓ©".
Kurro put a hand on Kenma's shoulder, "As your best friend-"
"You're not my best friend"
"Shush, again, as your best friend, I and Hinata will come with you to make sure you don't get molested or kidnapped by a stranger on the internet".
...
Kurro snickered, "Are you really wearing your volleyball uniform to this "date"".
"Yeah because I told them that I will be wearing a red sweatsuit"
"Okay but what are they wearing?"
Kenma looked at his phone, "He said a yellow turtle neck".
Kurro whisled, "Oh so it's a guy?".
"Yeah... is that a problem?".
"Oh no! I'm an ally!"
Kenma gave Kurro a look, "Shut up, we are here".
Hinata looked through the window, "OMG ITS (NAME), I'LL BE RIGHT BACK".
Hinata ran inside, "Jesus what's his problem, right Kenma? Kenma?".
Kenma just stared at the duo through the window, his breath hitch.
'This scent... it reeks'
"Kenma... hello?" Kurro kept shaking his hands in front of the blonde, trying to get him out of his trance.
"Sorry I can't do this". Kenma started walking away from the cafΓ©.
Kurro looked af Kenma in shock, "HEY BRO WHERE YOU GOING?!".
Hinata and (Name) came out of the cafΓ©, "(Name)! These are my friends! Kurro and Kenma! Wait were did Kenma go?"
"Um.. I don't know? He kinda just walked away".
"It's okay Hinata, I'm just waiting on a friend to show up, which could be any minute now".
Kurro gave Hinata an awkward look, "Listen, why don't we keep you company untill your friend arrives? So it's safer!"
"Um..." (Name) looked at their phone, "sure that's okay".
...
[11:43 p.m.]
Kenma just stared at his PC screen, debating whether or not to turn it on. 'If I go online, my online statues would be seen and if they are on, they'll wonder why I didn't show up today'.
'Fuck it. I am not wasting my daily rewards on some man' .
As soon as Kenma launched the game, he saw that his inbox had three missed messages.
Hey! I'm at the cafΓ©! Let me know when you are here! :)
Hey, I don't mean to be a bother but are you coming? My friend came by and is keeping me company until then.
Hey, is everything okay?
Okay, I'm going to go. Sorry things didn't go as planned. Maybe next time? :)
Kenma stared at the messages and sighed, 'God, I'm such a dick'.
[Ding]
Kenma looked and saw that he was invited to an private in game chat.
'Time to face my consequencess'
"Hey, sorry that I didn't show up. Something came up".
"Oh, it's okay! I wasn't alone but we should really try meeting up again next time".
"Yeah. Next time.".
"Yeah.... I was thinking at the in person tournament? It's this Saturday! There is a grand prize too!".
"Yeah, we can try Saturday. Are you thinking about teaming up?".
"Yeah! Of course!".
"Good. Let's do a practice round".
"Ready when you are!".
...
"So why did you leave yesterday?"
Kenma stared at Kurro, "something came up".
"Bullshit". Kurro crossed his arms, giving a judgemental mother look towards Kenma.
Kenma sighed, throwing the volleyball towards the wall, "I don't know, I just kinda froze".
"You froze?"
"Yeah..."
Kurro scoffed, "for an alpha that was adopted by two omegan parents. You sure are skittish around them".
Kenma dropped the ball, "wait, they are an omegan?"
"Duh".
Kenma looked at his chest, 'Is that why you were acting up yesterday'.
"Well if it makes you feel better, we are going to retry Saturday"
"Way to go buddy!" Kurro put Kenma in a head lock, " I knew you could get bitches!".
Kenam growled, "LET ME GO".
"Woah woah, easy there baby alpha. Oh my God look at my baby, he is already growling".
"Please shut up Kurro!".
"No, but for real, we need to get you to prepare! Don't want you freezing up again!". Kurro teased.
Kurro looked at Kenma, "why did you freeze up again?"
Kenma face turned red, picking his nails, "I don't know. At first, his scent reeked then it felt welcoming and I don't know it just kinda made me freeze".
Kurro smiled, "Man, that omega has gotten a hold on your alpha".
"..what".
"Wait how long have you've known him?"
Kenma took a minute, "Well we've been playing on LOL together for a year now".
"And yall are going to meet for the first time Saturday?".
Kenma nodded.
Kurro sighed, "Well you might aswell confess now".
Kenma started choking, "WHAT?".
Kurro started tsking, "No omega would meet up with a stranger they meet on LOL for christ sake. So let's get you to prepare for Saturday".
β™‘
[Saturday]
"Now Kenma, what did we practice saying?"
"Don't tell him that he stinks"
"Good. What else?"
"Make them feel like they are being heard in the conversation".
"Wonderful. Last thing?"
"Um... food is the way to the heart?".
"No, but just be a good host".
Kurro gave Kenma a pat on the back, sending him his way into the convention center.
Kenma laid eyes on (Name), freezing again, "hey buddy, you are going to be okay". Kurro pushed Kenma foward.
(Name) turned around and smiled at the duo, "hey! Are you Kenma?".
Kenma gulped, "um yeah".
"Oh cool! My name is obviously (Name)! You know the guy you've been talking too on LOL".
The two both nervously laughed, Kurro smiled at them, "Well I'll leave you kids to do whatever nerd shit this is! Later!".
(Name) smiled, "So... the tournament doesn't begin until 1:50, I was wondering if you wanted to check out the anime convention next door until then? There is a lot of VAs here!".
"Um yeah sure that's cool".
"Great!".
The two walked around endlessly in the hot box of an convention center, pushing pass people, looking at the over priced dropshipper vendors.
"Oo! Actually Kenma there is an local artist I want to check out before we go eat. Is that okay?"
"Yeah sure, what art do they do?"
The two walk up to the vendor, "Well they just do fan art but I can't resist keychains".
As the two waited in line, something caught Kenma's eye.
"Hey, (Name). I'll be right back!".
"Oh okay! I'll meet you at the food court?" (Name) chirped happily.
Kenma walked up to an LOL vendor that was selling keychains of the video game characters.
"Um excuse me? Can I get two of these?"
β™‘
"Kenma there you are!". (Name) smiled and walked towards the blonde carrying drinks.
"Hey" Kenma smiled down, rubbing his neck, "Well I got this for you".
Kenma held out (Name)'s favorite LOL character in a keychain.
"Oh my goodness, Kenma.. you didn't have too".
As (Name) reached out for the Keychain, Kenma grabbed the man's hands.
(Name) look at the blonde, "(Name)...."
"Yes?".
"(Name) if we win this tournament... can I court you?".
(Name)'s face flushed in red.
β™‘
[Few years later]
"Name... wake up. I don't have time for this today".
(Name) snuggled closer in the bedsheets, just coming off of his latest heat, "I don't wanna, if I do get up that means I gotta be a person today".
Kenma chuckled, "Babe, I love you but I'm trying to stream... I don't wanna anyone else seeing my omega laying in their natural habitat"
"NaTUrAL HaBiTAt, you make it seem like I'm an animal"
Kenma sighed, "Well.. you do bite..".
(Name) threw a pillow towards the man, "You dick!".
(Name) charged towards Kenma; Kenma grabbing (Name)'s legs and flipping him upside down.
"AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA! BOOM BOOM BOOOM".
This was my first request and I am very happy! It was long, barely proofread, but I think it was goof! I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you so much! This was kinda rushed, sorry user if this wasn't as good as you hoped it to be. Thank you for the request anyways!

Another from the secret blog
Ganon x male reader
Reader is Zelda's Brother
Omegaverse, fluff, angst
β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️
(name) was quiet as he wandered the halls of the palace, tonight was the grand ball between kingdoms and his sister told him to not be near but... He couldn't help himself! He was so fascinated by the other kingdoms, having read about them in books. The other kingdoms people were so much taller than Hylians!
His sister never let him leave the palace, the Alpha woman fiercely protective of him and always seemed on edge about people knowing about him...
"Oh? Why aren't you joining the festivities?" A voice broke (name) out of his trance as he peered through the glass windows of the ball room, the Omega jumping to see a tall guredo man in gold's and silks, clearly of importance "o-oh! My sister didn't want me to be near the ball but... I couldn't help myself... I just got curious" (name) confessed looking down embarrassed and the smell of slight distress leaked from him causing the Man to look almost startled but kept his cool, for every Century a guredo male is born and such a Hylian male Omega is born.
Centuries ago the two kingdoms make a treaty for the Omega and the male guredo to be mates.
Seems Zelda wasn't keeping her end of the bargain.
"What's your name little Hylian?" The man gently traced his cheek with his large hand, when did he get so close (name) wondered "I am (name), prince of Hyrule" he said straining his neck to look up at the giant of an alpha "what's yours?"
"Ganondorf, King of the Guredo people" his voice deep, (mame) entranced by the man's amber eyes, warmth radiating from his olive skin and a purr almost ripped from his throat "I always wanted to see the valley... I read about it in books, are hydromelons really as good as I read?" (Name) was curious and an invisible tail was wagging as he looked at the king with stars in his eyes, clearly he didn't know about the treaty, not knowing the ruby haired man was technically his fiance. "I have, they are quite delicious" his little mate was quite adorable he noted to himself.
"You should probably return to the party... They are probably wondering where you are" (name) fretted after a while, realizing he's taken so much of his time "I believe they can hold off without me for a little while longer"
(Name) beamed at him and Ganon took in the sweet smell of a happy Omega as they wandered the halls, passing an open arch to see the full moon. (Name) shivered slightly at the cool breeze and looked confused as Ganon removed his ornate cape and placed it on the omegas shoulders, the height difference almost laughable as (name) drowned in it.
"Thank you..." (name) looked up at him shyly and Ganon revelled at the glow of the moon casting itself upon (name), he looked ethereal like this and he couldn't help himself as he leaned to the others level, a feat within itself as the Guredo stood at ten feet tall, finger hooking under the Hylians chin and lips grazing before going in for a ki--"My king!" A Guredo guard said worried as Zelda came in looking horrified at the fact Ganon was near her brother, (name) completely taken by Ganon.
"Why have you kept my mates existence a secret?" Ganondorf cut to the chase before Zelda could talk, she was clearly nervous about this interaction and (name) looked confused "you do know this is would break the treaty" the Guredo people were key allies, masters of combat and a powerhouse with their military as unlike Hyrule they don't discriminate on secondary gender.
"Mate..?" (Name) looked confused and looked to his sister for answers, his sister looked furious at this and her fists clenched as she took a silent breath.
She knew she was controlling of her brother, micromanaging every second of her brothers life.
She was protective, could you blame her?
She didn't think Ganondorf was good enough for him, having plans to mate her brother off to the head knight Link though neither seemed very interested in the concept.
"You and I are fiance's, every generation a male guredo and a male Omega are born and are set to be wed" Ganondorf was told that there was no omega born yet, causing tensions to rise.
"Is this true..?" He looked to his sister who couldn't deny it "yes, you are engaged to King ganondorf by law" (name) was already in his adulthood, 23 to be exact but heavily sheltered and all knowledge of the outside was through books and stories from guards.
Come morning (name) was in the gardens eating sweets the kitchen had made him, thoughts heavy at last night's events and avoided his sister like the plague. He was engaged? To the king of another kingdom?
Ganon was handsome he would admit, the giant king made him feel giddy and giggly when he looked at him, remembering when their lips brushed--- he was so flustered at the memory. Ganondorf smelt of spices and honey, the smell was on (name)s clothes when he returned to his room.
"Ah, there you are" Ganons voice caught (name)s attention, the Guredo alpha dressed less regal but still recognizable as a king, long purposeful strides towards his fiance "last night was surely stressful"
"I still can't process that im engaged... Zelda spoke of an engagement with the head knight but to know I had already been spoken for..."
"We would have already been we'd if you had not been hidden from me" Ganon said crouching before his fiance "...could I get to know you? I know we are to be wed and it would most likely be fast tracked but... I would like to know you... Know my future alpha" (name) looked at him hopefully, even crouching Ganon towered over him "that could be arraigned, perhaps you could come with me to Gerudo valley for one or two months and get to know the people and the vulture" he offered and (name) grinned "really? Are Sand seals really as big as the books say?" He asked hopeful and Ganon smiled "you will have to find out, won't you?"
Zelda looked like a kicked dog, unable to deny the request of her brother going to Guredo valley for three months, tensions already thick.
And Ganon looked so so smug.

Law or Zoro (maybe both separately πŸ™‡β€β™€οΈ?) with their s/o secretly being a kunoichi 🀭
Thank u πŸ™
Hi Hi! I'll start with: I'm sorry. I didn't know much about the term and I tried to research it, but to be honest, I don't think I got the best of it. I used the point of view in which the character actually became an ally. Maybe I got a little carried away with Law.
After all, how can you disappoint them? (I mean, look at these two happy just seeing Raizo)

Zoro
Warnings: blood, use of swords, the two like each other but are unable to deal with it maturely.
"Leaving friendship aside" you shouted, dodging the blow. "You're too slow, Zoro."
" What did you say?" He tried to attack you again, but it only took a few steps for you to dodge his attacks. "What the hell!"
"I said: slow." You stopped the sword with your forearm, turning it and letting it rest against the swordsman's skin. "And sloppy."
"How can you do that?"
"A lady doesn't tell your secrets." You laughed, letting him go.
The sun streamed through the crow's nest windows, illuminating the entire space.
Occasionally you and the swordsman would take time out to train. Your excuse was always that you needed to improve your skills and his was that he needed a punching bag. You knew there was a lot behind it - the hours wasted together, the accidental skin-to-skin touches. Those workouts were your favorite part of your schedule.
A crash caught the two of you's attention as well as the uneven rocking and some screams coming from beneath you.
"We are being attacked." Zoro looked out the small window seeing the reason for the small chaos that had formed. "Stay here."
He disappeared from your field of vision in a few seconds. You were determined to follow his orders, not that you owed any kind of obligation, but returning to fight seemed like a distant choice.
Your eyes narrowed at the edge of the window, trying to understand the scale of what was happening. Three pirate ships surrounded the Sunny, each with a flag. Probably a group has allied together to try to overthrow you. Ignoring it no longer seemed like an option.
You practically jumped halfway down the stairs, finding the ship full of enemies. Everyone fought as best they could, but the number of people interested in taking down the Straw Hats seemed too much for you.
Using the same technique you had used in previous training, you dodged each attack, trying to take as little damage as possible. On the other side, you saw one of the men suddenly throw Nami's Clima-tact stick away. Your eyes quickly searched for the best and closest alternative within your reach.
Dodging two guys, you didn't bother asking for permission to take out the third sword that Zoro still kept in its sheath, only seeing him look at you sideways without much room to question.
Before the bullet hit Nami, you positioned the katana blade and watched the fragment turn into two. Ignoring your friend's screams, you threw blows at the first man who had attacked her. A cut in the middle of the chest was enough to knock him down and make room for other enemies to find you.
The sharp blade paraded across the deck of the Sunny, arms fell around you, enemy blood splashed on your clothes and the floor. The presence of the other companions was a memory in the fog, you just needed to help everyone get rid of the little problem. Losing your balance when you saw the ship accelerate in the opposite direction to the enemy ship, it wasn't long before you were just contemplating the blue horizon in front of you.
The absolute silence took a few seconds to bother you until you realized what it was. All your companions looked at you curiously, probably the blood that dripped from the katana and that also stained your clothes was what attracted most of their attention.
The words came to the tip of your tongue and died for a few moments, you were fully aware that you owed your friends satisfaction, it was just difficult to bring the story to light.
"Since when did you know how to do that?" Nami was the first to ask, without any type of ceremony.
"There's been a good, good time."
"But you weren't just an expert in languages, I mean, for someone who has their face buried in books translating those strange things, you know your way around a katana very well." Usopp pointed out, making clear all the curiosity - which was probably in the others' minds.
"I was trained for a long time, longer than I would have liked." you declared, walking to the edge of the ship and leaning against it.
The crew's swordsman did the same, stopping next to you and the others practically circled you. Your hand nervously squeezed the blunt end of the sword in your hand.
"I was taught to infiltrate, to go unnoticed, to kill. I never had much of a choice in the meantime."
"And how did you end up here?" Chopper asked almost adorably, his curiosity leaning more toward admiration than anything else.
"I had a mission." your eyes found Robin in the background. "I needed to infiltrate and take Robin away from here, a high price for someone with high qualifications."
"This is getting interesting." the archaeologist smiled almost understandingly. For some reason you seemed to have given up on the plan and she had already found herself in a similar position. "What made you stop?"
"You, all of you." the answer sounded obvious coming from you. "You all welcomed me so well, I felt like part of a family. So I never answered the calls again and decided to stay here, to be honest, if I had any other choice I wouldn't have done all this." you gestured towards the blood on your clothes. "I understand if you want me to leave, a secret this big..."
"No." Luffy responded immediately. "You're not going to leave."
"But..."
"The captain decided, you're still a Straw Hat." Sanji completed, leaving room for a brief drag on his cigarette. "And with all that blood you're still beautiful."
"Shut up idiot" Zoro grumbled. "But I agree with Luffy, it's decided, you stay. Now everyone, let's get these scraps out of here." the man pointed to the downed enemies.
Without much desire to continue arguing, one by one you saw your companions move away and begin to clean the deck. Zoro however remained there, standing a few meters away.
"I bet you hate me for my petty theft." You turned to him.
"Are you feeling good?" His calm voice broke your expectations. "You didn't seem comfortable telling all that."
"It's a past that I wanted to leave behind, you know? Being a linguist is much cooler than having to scrub clothes dirty with enemy remains, but now I don't have much choice."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I've already proven that I can fight, I believe that in the next battles it won't make much sense for me to try to escape." a dejected smile crossed your lips as you approached him.
"Only if you want." Zoro replied as you parked yourself in front of him, your feet aligned with his. "If you want to fight, I'll be happy to help you get a katana. If you want to continue just being you, I promise I have enough strength and swords for both of us."
The promise implicit in his voice gave you goosebumps, as well as warming your cheeks in a certain shyness.
"And leaving friendship aside?" he started and you just nodded. "You look beautiful using my katana to take out idiots."
"Leaving friendship aside..." you replied, taking the opportunity to reduce the small space between you.
Without taking your eyes off Zoro's eyes, you slid the sword back into his sheath, completing the trio that now rested after the battle.
"I'd love to be able to do both. Maybe you can help me." your faces were just a short distance away, ignoring the entire world around you.
"Meet me tonight, upstairs. I think we can take some time to train."
"You two make this mess, come help!" Nami's scream broke you both out of your little trance, but the promise still hung in the air.

Law
Warnings: cute, brief hint of something hotter at the end, pre-established relationship. Law is a super nerd in this one.
Something was out of place. Something felt like it was about to go wrong, you just didn't know what. Following the corridors of the submarine, you made a point of looking room by room, corner by corner, in search of what you didn't even know what you were looking for. The Polar Tang, despite being moored on an island, was occupied by all the crew. Almost all, the captain was absent.
"Bepo?" you entered the room he was in, hitting the switch sharply.
With nightfall and no longer sailing, there weren't many tasks left to be carried out inside Polar Tang. The bear - who was apparently taking a brief nap - rubbed his eyes, trying to understand where the call was coming from.
"Sorry to wake you up. Did you have any news from the captain?"
"He just said he was going to leave for a few hours and that if possible, we would be ready to leave." If it weren't for the worry you would definitely be teasing Bepo and his habit of making mini roars instead of yawns.
"Taking a nap is being ready, mister furry?" the bear's grumbling filled the room. "I don't know Bepo, I have a bad feeling."
"About the captain?" he rose to his feet, more alert than before. "He said he had things to sort out."
"I don't know." you murmured, thinking about possibilities, perhaps the worst possible ones echoed in your mind. "From what I remember, Law was alone for a long time before he went, am I right?"
"Yes! He said he needed to focus on something."
"Okay, let's go through his desk."
Papers hung on the wall, notes spread out on the table, a large web connected the information he had gathered so far about Doflamingo. Occupying his chair, you didn't hesitate to turn over some pages, finding names and positions written down and a map of the island. An X marking a specific point next to a photo attracted your gaze, making you search your own memories to understand the familiarity with such a situation.
"Flander..." you brought the photo of the man with white hair and a black suit closer. You remembered the man but even so, your brain burned trying to remember why and it gave you a bad feeling.
"Do you know him?" "An idiot tycoon who's also a mobster. Last time I bumped into him it was to recover a stolen devil fruit. He craves power, so he uses the black market to sell them and also use... oh, shit!"
"What happened?" the bear tried to keep up with you as you ran back to your room, thankful to find it empty.
"Get everything ready for us to escape. Also prepare the defenses." you pulled out a large hidden brown box. "Law may have been ambushed."
In other situations you would even ask him to leave, but while the bear screamed and ran from side to side you didn't hesitate to throw your overalls and in seconds put on the suit. The minutes lost in getting dressed would certainly be recovered with help in camouflaging.
"Wait, what is this?"
"No questions Bepo! Go now!"
You adjusted the cloth that covered part of your face. Ignoring the curious stares, you crossed Polar Tang in seconds, finding a full moon shining all over the pier that night. That costume, that story, you had chosen to leave behind, but the thought of someone hurting your captain was too much for you to ignore.
Following through the trees it didn't take long to find Flander's compound. Trying to avoid the presence of the security guards, you followed their movement pattern, finding a small gap to climb onto the first floor of roofs. Even though the rooms that were within reach of your eyes seemed empty, you still chose to go outside. Leaning on the gutter and avoiding any noise as much as possible, you didn't have much difficulty finding the next floor.
This time, coming across some lights on in the indoor area, you could feel closer to your goal. Using the noise of voices and the distraction to your advantage, you managed to peek inside the room.
Flander was sitting in one of the chairs, three huge men accompanied him and Law was sitting on the floor. A trickle of blood ran from his eyebrow and his hands were tied together. You hated being right in your suspicions.
Using the point of illumination to your advantage, you opted for the lack of it, throwing your dagger towards the lamp. The sound of breaking glass attracted the attention of everyone there - including Law.
"Where did that come from?" one of the men bent down picking up the small gray object.
The moonlight might still be an advantage for them, but it wouldn't be a problem for you. Rolling into the window, you took advantage of having fallen in a crouch to cut the ankle of the first man within your reach and joining a trip, he soon found the ground.
The other two gathered around you and using the ratio of size to speed, you managed to dodge them, reaching Flander and putting your other dagger through his leg, leaving it stuck between his thigh and the upholstery of the expensive bench he was sitting on. One of the other men managed to hit you, making you lose your balance, but it only took a few kicks and both he and the other man were on the ground.
"Who are you?" Flanders shouted, probably not only trying to clear the doubt but also trying to get the attention of more henchmen.
Before he could continue shouting, you slammed his head against the expensive wooden table in front of the man.
"Cap... Trafalgar." you corrected yourself almost at the last second. "Do you know where your handcuff keys are?"
"In my left pocket." your eyes - which were one of the few things discovered on your face looked in pure disbelief at him. "I knew he would try to trick me, I changed all the handcuffs here to regular versions."
"I do not believe that." despite the relief in knowing that in a way, he already knew what awaited him, it didn't stop you from staying alert.
"You're Shadow Moon, right? The konoichi who helps Sora in magazine 147 of the regular story. From Yushe Island?" He stood up, approaching the table and picking up a small brown notebook, leafing through it quickly. "Am I right, Shadow Moon?"
"Law, we have time to sort this out later." you pulled the cloth away, revealing your face. "Is this the only notebook you need?"
"Are you Sora's Shadow Moon from the Yushe Islands?" for the first time you saw Law's voice rise a few decibels in pure surprise. A slightly more serious version of a child who just got the doll he always wanted. "You?"
"We really can... Shit!" you felt your arm burn as more men appeared in your field of vision. Before you could prepare to fight, the blue dome enveloped you and the bodies lying in the room were replaced by the trees of the island's small forest, the same one that had helped you camouflage your arrival.
"Well, it was a graze." you checked your own arm and it didn't take long for Law to take the job for himself.
"Yes, you almost don't need stitches. A bandage should do the trick, Shadow Moon."
"Are you really going to call me that all night?" Law decided to back off the subject when he noticed the irritation in your voice, but you knew the subject wouldn't remain quiet for long. "When we arrive at Polar Tang, I'll explain. I've already got everyone ready for us to set sail."
You were never so happy to be back in the little metal cocoon, or at least that was the affectionate way you called the yellow submarine. After reassuring everyone, you followed Law to his room, knowing that he must have doubts about everything that happened.
"How did you know I was there?" he asked as soon as you slammed the door behind you. Taking advantage of the small peace to catch your breath, you leaned against the wall.
"I had a strange feeling and when I found Flander's photo, I knew something was wrong. I already knew his history with Devil Fruit users."
"I understood." Law seemed distracted by something on his stand. "I knew he would try to catch me, I wanted to make the most of my time to extract information."
"Next time, please let your girlfriend know." you murmured, crossing your arms and watching him walk towards you. "No way."
Law placed a small doll next to you and you knew what it was without even looking.
"Shadow Moon, I knew it!"
"I'm sorry I kept this from you." You asked and saw him nod. The same hand that held the action figure pulled you closer to the bed.
"How did you end up in Sora?" he sat down, giving you space to sit next to him or in it.
"Long story short, I helped one of the comic's editors, it was his way of thanking me." Law's eyes sparkled as you adjusted yourself over his hips.
"My girlfriend is Shadow Moon. Do you have any idea how badass that is?" he again looked at the doll and placed it aside. "Although you look a lot hotter in the real version."
"Is this serious? I took down several idiots at once to save you and you're impressed by this?" You pointed to your own clothes.
"This? You mean the legendary Shadow Moon responsible for taking down enemy armies and who can disappear into the shadows?" Your loud laugh also brought a light laugh from Law. "Shadow Moon herself came to save me. Where were you hiding all this?"
"Kind of wanted to put that story behind me." you bent down and pushed him against the bed, using the gap to lay on his chest. Just a few hours apart along with the adrenaline in your body made you miss Law's contact. "It was really lucky they left my suit in Sabaody."
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay." Noticing the hesitation in your voice, Law tried to steer you away from that subject. But his presence was comforting, it was as if the old memories were just that: things left behind.
"After my parents died, these women took me in. They gave me a home, food, but in return they trained me. They did this with different types of girls."
"You know why?"
"A lot of us went on missions for them, but the purpose was always to teach us how to defend ourselves." You smiled when you felt his fingers caress your skin, encouraging you to keep talking.
"I started to stand out, taking down many of the enemies until the mission where they discovered me infiltrated. I was pretending to be a doctor for one of the pirates who stole them."
"So that's why you already knew how to deal with everything here."
"Exactly, it was almost like a vocation, or destiny" a provocative smile dared to cross your lips, soon disappearing. "After finding out, they locked me up for a while. When they got tired of my presence, they sold me into slavery."
"You're lucky that a guy with a good heart was there, right?" Law's cynicism was something almost immersed in him. You quickly took the man's lips.
"They say he was very handsome." you murmured, catching his kisses.
"Babe, please." his tone was strangled when he felt your hips press against his. "But it's okay if you say no..."
"Trafalgar!" You lightly patted his shoulder when you saw him blush - like you hadn't seen in the time you were together. The way his gaze roamed your body made it clear what he wanted. "Okay, the costumes are still on my body."
"Hm.. my beautiful little konoichi." he turned you over on the bed, pinning you beneath him. "This time you won't be able to hide."

Lay Back Baby
Tumblr media
Lucy Bonze x Ona Batlle smut
Summary: Ona is staying home from training with the cold, yearning for Lucy's touch, she pushes the the whole day without, the second Lucy gets home, she knows what she needs.
a/n: Based on the large amounts of requests for this one !! hope you enjoy :) requests open
Ona awoke with a heavy sense of lethargy, her body feeling like a battleground between fatigue and discomfort. The room around her was dimly lit, the soft glow of daylight filtering through the curtains casting a muted atmosphere. As she blinked away the remnants of sleep, the realization of her sickness settled in, a weight on her chest that matched the heaviness in her head.
The air in the room felt stale, and Ona's groggy mind struggled to focus. Her and Lucys room, once a haven of comfort, now seemed foreign, as if the familiar surroundings had transformed into an unfamiliar landscape in the course of her nap. She gingerly sat up, her limbs protesting with every movement, and the blankets clung to her like an extra layer of fatigue.
Ona's nose was stuffy, her throat scratchy, and a persistent ache echoed through her body. She reached for the tissue box on her bedside table, a comforting ally in the battle against her symptoms. Each tissue she pulled out seemed to absorb a small part of her misery as she blew her nose, the soft sound a pitiful reminder of her unwell state.
Her gaze drifted to the window, where the outside world continued its oblivious hustle. The play of sunlight on the curtains formed patterns that danced in a rhythm detached from her own discomfort. Ona sighed, the sound a mixture of resignation and frustration, as she contemplated the tasks and responsibilities that awaited her beyond the confines of the couch.
She remembered how Lucy always took care of her when she was unwell – making tea, giving forehead touches, and saying comforting things. Ona scrolled through pictures of them together, smiling and happy. She sent Lucy a text, telling her how much she needed her right now.
Ona: missing you baby…
sent
Wrapped up in her blankets, she waited for Lucy's reply, hoping for some comfort. When Lucy's message came, it was like a virtual hug. Lucy promised to be home soon, and Ona felt a bit better just thinking about it. With the idea of Lucy's return from training in mind, Ona relaxed, knowing that love had the power to make her feel better even when she was at her sickest.
She peeled her body off the couch and headed for their bedroom, hoping to find a change of clothing, clinging to the idea that it might make a feel better to freshen up. She pulled out some sweat shorts and one of Lucys jerseys, desperate for anything from her, even just her smell.
Her legs led her to the kitchen, where she found herself making some toast, too exhausted for any sort of creativity if it included any sort of hard work.
She’s been sitting around all day, occasionally moving location to follow the days sunlight, but no amount of light would satisfy her intense craving for the touch of Lucy. Her mind wandered, the idea of Lucy laying her down and having her cum over and over, all she needed was for Lucy to be inside of her, and any kind of way, Ona was not feeling picky.
Her sudden burst of energy came when she heard Lucys keys in the front door. Her body was lifted from the bed out of excitement, her feet skidding on the floor as she ran to the door, jumping into the arms of her girl.
Lucy didn’t even have time put her stuff down, having to drop it to support Onas tiny frame, wrapped around her waist.
β€œHey baby” Lucy says, gently placing her down.
β€œLucy, I have missed you so much today” Ona says looking up at her, with the strong grip on the centre of Lucys shirt, scared by the idea of letting go.
Lucy leans down and presses a kiss on Onas soft lips, not worrying about getting sick, if anything, it would give them time off together.
Ona raised herself onto the tips of her toes, desperate to get the most of out Lucys mouth. She wraps an arm around her neck, pulling her closer.
β€œOh, you really have missed me haven’t you little thing” Lucy says, breaking the contention.
Ona simply bites her lip in response.
β€œNo baby, you are sick and need rest” Lucy tells Ona with the stern tone. Ona is in her lap, getting more and more needy by the second.
The pair have been on the couch simply making out for a while now, Ona in Lucys lap, as per usual, desperately grinding small on the tiny seem of Lucys pants that are rubbing on her needy clit.
β€œLucy please” Ona begins the whining. β€œYou can’t leave me alone all day, them come home and refuse to fuck me” she finishes with a mumble.
β€œI can when you are sick darling girl” Lucy delicately fights back.
β€œagh Lucy please, I’m all wet, and you’re the person I want to share that with” Ona begging is something that could almost get Lucy on her knees for the small girl.
Lucys body has a physical reaction to Onas words. A long deep breathe escapes her mouth and her eyes soften. β€œYour all, wet baby?” she says, trying not to give in to her racing mind when she quotes Onas words. β€œI don’t want to hurt you sweet girl”
Ona is quick to reply β€œYou’re not going to hurt me Lucy” she says franticly trying to get the words off her tongue. β€œJust please open my legs and fuck me” She shoots Lazers into Lucys eyes β€œPlease Lucy”
β€œStay here for a second” Lucy says, lifting Onas frame off her and on to the couch, leaving the room and leaving Ona alone. She isn’t sure is her begging had worked out in her favour or not, but alas, she did as she was told and stayed on the couch.
Lucy is soon to return to her good girl. A strap in one hand, and a small dildo in the other. Ona has never been the type to be able to take anything big, and Lucy has never wanted to push her too hard.
Ona makes space for her on the couch and Lucy lays her body down, motioning for Ona to straddle her waist once more. Ona places her body weight down and leans into the lips of Lucy. Lucys hand wraps around the back of her neck not allowing her to leave the kiss until she was finished.
Lucy pulls Ona by the back of the neck away from the kiss β€œBaby my face” she begins β€œCome onto it okay”.
Ona doesn’t have to answer, she quickly pulls herself Lucy and starts to undress. β€œkeep the shirt on pretty girl” Lucy instructs, referring to the β€˜Bronze’ jersey that Ona wore loose on her shoulders.
Ona doesn’t need to be asked twice. She knows the way Lucy just gets weak in the knees at the sight of Ona in her jerseys. Something the possession it holds. Her name, on Onas back
Lucy manhandles Onas body to the way she wants her, before pulling her onto her face. Ona breath hitches at the sudden friction of Lucys nose on her clit. Onas bare bottom half finds itself begining to grind back and forth on the face of her girlfriend. With Lucys slick tongue exploring its way around Onas’s hole, Lucy finds that its just not quite enough for her. Lucys arms wrap around Onas spread thighs, digging her nails into her ass and pulling her down, forcing her to put all her body weight onto her tongue.
It usually takes a lot of reassurance to get Ona to fully place herself onto Lucys mouth, always being hesitant that she will hurt her somehow, but Lucy is always quick to deny that idea. Sometimes even having to go as far as holding her down onto her face with all her strength. Lucy fucking loves it. Onas’s thighs around her head, her slick dripping down her chin.
Onas getting good use out of Lucys noes, feeling the texture of her skin on her most intimate parts. Lucys tongue is venturing in and out, occasional pressing flat on her hole, catching all her leaking goodness, swallowing it with pure bliss.
The mix of Lucys mouth and her strong eye contract from beneath her, has Ona beginning to spiral. She knows she doesn’t need to communicate this with Lucy. Having been clearly aware due to the speed in which her actions were getting too. Lucys grip on Ona was pulling her even further with each second that pasted. Lucy could barely breath underneath her, something that hardly worried her, knowing how fast she could get to Onas high.
β€œAgh, yes Lucy” Onas frantic pleading has Lucy smiling against her. β€œYes Lucy” her pitch gets higher at the end of each statement. Her eyes roll to the back of her head, telling out a smooth hum of a moan as she lets herself go into Lucys mouth, shaking her legs and squeezing them around her head.
Ona steals a breath from the air, moving herself off Lucys face and sitting on her clothed stomach. Lucy being fully clothed with Ona bare wasn’t a completely uncommon practice in the household.
β€œOna darling help me put this on”. Lucy breaks the silence, referring the strap in her hands, passing it to Ona. She moves down Lucys body and kneels between her legs. She picks it from Lucys hands, fiddling with the harness and getting it around Lucys hips, covered by her boxers.
β€œYou think you can take this one baby girl?” Lucy double checks, the strap is small, but so is Ona, and the last thing Lucy wanted was to push her when she was sick.
β€œYes, ill be good” Ona struggles to get full words out, due to the pure bliss she feels, just looking at the toy in front of her.
Lucy takes the answer, tightening the harness to her waist before pushing Ona further down. β€œI was you back to face me while you ride my cock” Lucy says, in a gently demanding tone.
Onas bottom lip is swollen from all the bitting, Lucys voice and demanding tone, not helping the situation. Ona grabs a hold of Lucys thighs for balance, turning herself around and putting her legs over Lucys waist. Onas’s ass sits on Lucys stomach, Lucys hands find it almost immediately. She lifts herself up with the help of Lucys grip and hovers over the strap, nervous about letting herself fall.
Ona suddenly feels tired, worried she might do this the wrong way. She stays hovering for more than usual and Lucy begins to wonder the expression on her girlfriend’s face.
β€œCan you take it sweat girl?” Lucy asks again, in an almost teasing tone this time.
Ona doesn’t reply, beginning to squirm in her position.
β€œDarling, do you need help?” Lucy asks, caressing the skin of Onas soft ass.
β€œyeah”
β€œLay back for me” Lucy pulls her back. β€œCome on, nice and comfy”.
Ona relaxes into the precents of Lucy, legs spread wide and open. Lucys hand sneaks under her and onto the toy, lining it up with Onas’s cunt.
β€œLook at me” Lucy says, turning Onas’s face to look her in the eye as she thrusts herself in, so slowly, so soft.
Ona’s gentle moan has her snuggling into Lucys grip. Lucys hands now holding Ona’s legs open as she slowly thrusts in and out, causing Ona to whine in her hold.
β€œShh baby girl. I know you can take it” Lucy places kisses all over Onas red face. Her pace starting to speed up, much to the overwhelming pleasure of Ona.
β€œyes, yes lucy” Onas words come out more breathy and pathetic than intended.
Lucy legs go of one thigh to hold Onas’s face, looking down into her eyes, Ona looks like she’s been to a whole new level of pleasure. Eyes watering and checks red.
β€œAre you going to cum for me like this?” Lucy asks, already knowing the answer.
Ona can’t get words out, simply humming in reply as she begins to shake in Lucys grip. Lucy responses by going deeper, getting a yelp from Ona, who now finds refuge in the neck of her girlfriend.
β€œLet go baby” It’s all Ona need to hear before she is riding an absolute high, legs shaking and hips rocking, she floats to the point of pure stimulation, no longer feeling anything around her but the warm embrace of Lucy, who, without Onas’s knowledge had completely pulled out of her.
β€œGood girl, shhh baby, you’re okay” Lucy says, helping Ona gain control of her breathing and come back to the room, her mind elsewhere.
β€œsh sh sh, deep breaths” Ona’s breathing returns and she is turned over, chest to chest with Lucy who takes her hair in her hand, stocking her scalp with nothing but pure love.
β€œMy good baby”

Eyes Like The Ocean pt 2
Pt 1
Pairing: Chris Sturniolo x Reader
Summery: Just a girl on vacation at her beach house who meets a boy on the beach, what happens when she has to go back home.
Warnings: cussing, alcohol !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We ended up on the beach for over 2 hours just messing around until we finally decided to go inside and get ready for dinner.
Sadly I didn’t see much of pretty boy since the small interaction, but we’re here for a week.
I was trying to pick out an outfit when Allie came in my room and laid on my bed. β€œI think you should pick that” she said pointing at a pink summer dress , β€œwith your pink converse” she continued as she pointed at them.
β€œUgh you’re so right” i said as I grabbed them and a pair of socks, β€œI’m gonna go take a shower ” I said as I walked into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and smiled, the overwhelming feeling of wanting to move into this house and forgot about my apartment in New Jersey is strong.
I walked out of the bathroom freshly out of the shower with wet hair, seeing Gavin and Allie in my room sitting on the couch in front of my bed.
I sighed and shook my head, β€œwhy are y’all in my room” I said as I crossed my arms. β€œWe were bored and we was waiting for you, you take a very long time by the way” Gavin said rolling his eyes.
β€œDude I was in there for 30 minutes” I said with a laugh and walking over to my dresser, β€œand plus I’m still not done” I laughed. Gavin groaned and walked out of my room, while me and Allie looked at each other and laughed.
β€œMen, am I right?” Allie laughed while she got up and walked over to my bed and laid down.
β€œYea.. men” I said sighing, β€œare you thinking of that boy you made eye contact with for a mere second?” She said with raised eyebrows.
β€œNo?.. yes..” I said as I pulled out my blow dryer, β€œhe was cute” I sighed as I looked at her through the mirror that’s sitting on my dresser.
β€œYou should’ve talked to him, what if you never see him again??” Allie laughed as she sat up, I gasped and whipped around to face her. β€œDon’t say that shit, I will.. hopefully” I groaned and turned around right as I was getting a call.
I grabbed my phone quickly hoping it was Alyssa, It indeed was Alyssa. I answered immediately, β€œhey Lyss!” I said with a big smile. β€œHey girl, I’m just calling to make sure you got here safe.. you never answered” she said with a laugh, β€œoh my god.. I’m so sorry, we got here and immediately went to the beach” I said with a laugh.
β€œSo you made it!?” She yelled as she started jumping up and down, β€œyes, I can’t wait to see you dude! It’s been too long” I said sighing as I putting the phone down on my dresser. β€œHey Allie!!” She yelled through the phone.
Allie smirked while she waved her hand fast, we all started laughing. Allie never fails to make anyone laugh.
β€œYou should definitely come to the bon fire tonight” Alyssa said with a smirk, β€œwhy do I know nothing about this?” I asked as I waved to Allie who was currently walking out of my room.
β€œI don’t know, it’s something the locals do every year” she said shrugging, β€œI’m down, you gonna come get me or what?” I said with a smirk.
β€œYea I’ll come get you around 9, but I gotta go my pasta is about done” she said with a smile. We said our byes, and as soon as we hung up I started blow drying my hair so I can be ready by 5.
-
We were on our way to the restaurant, when Allie stuck her head out of the sun roof. I took a video of her and immediately posted it to my instagram story.
All the windows were down and β€˜nightcrawler’ was blasting through the speakers, this is my kind of life. I really need to move back down here some day, this is truly my happy place.
When we got to the restaurant, we walked in the restaurant seeing that it was full of people. Not our go to but it’ll work because this place has the best crab legs around.
The waiter walked us to our table and luckily we were in the back corner, I sat on the outside of the booth while Allie sat in the inside across from Gavin.
β€œYou okay?” Allie whispered tapping my arm, I had my arm up and I was biting on my finger nails.
β€œNo, yea, I’m fine” I said removing my hand and smiling, β€œI was just thinking” I said as I grabbed a menu looking at the desserts just to keep my eyes from roaming around.
The waiter came back with our drinks, she’s literally so sweet. She complimented my dress, i was tempted to ask her for her number simply because I need more friends.
After she got our orders she walked away, to go do what waiters do. Gavin and Allie were in their own little conversation.
β€œI’m going to the restroom” I said as I got up and started walking to the bathroom, as I was walking to the bathroom someone came out of the mens bathroom.
I looked up hearing the door open, catching eyes with the familiar blue eyes. My eyes widened slightly as he smirked and whispered a quiet β€œhey” as he passed me.
I guess the cape is smaller than I thought. I did my business and walked back to our table to see our food was already there. The wait here was surprisingly short considering how packed they are.
We ate our food and had good conversations, we were only here for about an hour and a half. We paid and left a big tip because the service here is always great.
As we were walking out I was walking in front of Allie and Gavin, I was looking straight ahead when I saw pretty boy sitting at a table with who I’m assuming is his family. The two guys sitting on each side of him look awfully similar to him. He saw me and nudged the guy to his left and nodded towards me.
My eyes went wide and face turned rosy as I walked past them. Holy shit, he probably thinks I’m following him or something. He totally told that guy that I’m weird or something.
-
We got back to the house, and I went straight to my room and laying on my bed whipping my phone out to text Alyssa and telling her about pretty boy.
She just told me not to worry about it, and that he probably thought I was pretty. But then I told her about the guys sitting beside him.
Right after I told her she started to FaceTime me. I answered immediately, and said hey. β€œHey, okay so I don’t know which one you’re talking about but I do know you’re talking about the triplets” she shrieked, β€œwho’s that?” I mumbled confused.
β€œThey come every summer, I’m surprised they’re here for spring break” she spoke with raised eyebrows, β€œanyways I’ve always had the biggest crush on one of them, I don’t know their names tho” she sighed.
β€œMaybe they’ll be there tonight?” I shrugged as I got up and walked over to my bag to get my lipgloss out of my makeup bag.
β€œMaybe, but they always got some girls following right behind them, so no shot am I getting a chance” she sighed as she applied her blush.
β€œWho knows, they might just be their friends” I giggled, β€œpossibly, oh! Also ones gay and I heard that he’s super nice” she looked into the camera with a smile.
β€œYeah.. I wish I was their friend.” I sighed and put my phone on the nightstand, β€œis this cute?” I backed up and did a spin hearing a β€œyes butch what the fuck?” Coming from my phone.
β€œDude, Allie picked this out and she ate.” I laughed as I looked at the phone seeing her tying her shoes.
β€œAllie always got good style. Also be out in 10, I’m about to be on my way, bye love you!” She rushed as she hung up. Oh?
I sighed and walked out into the living room seeing Allie with a glass of wine and Gavin sitting next to her, they were watching some show.
β€œHey, I’m about to leave” I whispered , they both looked at me β€œare you drinking?” Allie raised one eyebrow up making me laugh. β€œYou know I don’t drink” I shook my head laughing.
β€œYea but you literally never know when your with Alyssa, you know she drinks” she said nodding her head at me.
β€œYeah, I know but I don’t mind when other people drink..” I frowned and pointed at her hand.
β€œOh! I forgot about this” she laughed, β€œhow are you getting home tho?” She said as she placed the drink on the table. β€œI’ll probably end up driving back here and she’ll probably stay the night” I shrugged as we heard a car honk.
-
I open the front door to see Alyssa standing there, I squealed and pulled her into a hug. β€œDo you mind if we walk? The beach is literally in your back yard” she smiled widely. I just nodded, β€œI can’t believe I’m fucking here dude” I screamed.
As we were walking down the beach we could see all the people at the bonfire, even tho we were at least 100 feet away.
β€œI’m getting smashed” Alyssa laughed, β€œyou’re gonna have to meet my friends!” She yelled grabbing the attention of a few people as we were walking into the crowd. β€œYeah, I do” I giggled as a few people were waving at Alyssa.
We walked to the drink table someone who was nice enough to do so. I looked around the area as Alyssa was getting her drink, I felt eyes on me from behind me. I turned around looking for any lingering eyes, only catching a familiar blue eyed boy.
His usual ocean blue eyes looking darker in the dark night. My eyes slowly go down his body checking out his outfit, he was wearing a pair of camouflage pants and a black shirt. He looked good.
I got nudged out of my thoughts by Alyssa, β€œis that the one you were talking about?” She whispered.
I turned to her swiftly and nodded, β€œhe’s so cute” I sighed and continued β€œwhere are your friends?” I asked smiling. She smirked and interlocked our arm, β€œright this way” she moved towards the boy I was just looking at.
β€œWoah where we going” I whisper yelled, β€œmy friends” she shrugged. Well I wasn’t nervous on meeting her friends but if her friends are near this boy I’m gonna be nervous.
I was right her friends are right next to him, you might as well count him in her friend group.
Alyssa was talking to her friends after she introduced us all, her friends seem nice but my mind was going crazy with this boy standing only a few inches behind me and I still didn’t know his name.
I was focused on the random song playing when I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to look at who ever tapped me. My stomach churned. β€œHey!” He smiled, β€œhi” I smiled with rosy cheeks.
β€œI’ve been seeing you everywhere” he smirked, β€œyeah, I’m sorry” I winced.
β€œWhy are you apologizing?” He raised an eyebrow, I shrugged and before I could start talking he continued. β€œOh! My names Chris by the way” he smiled as he put his hand out, β€œY/n” i put my hand into his as I looked into his eyes with a small smile.
β€œPretty name for a very pretty girl” he smiled, β€œwhy haven’t I seen you here before?” He asked dropping his hand but stepping a bit closer.
β€œI come here every spring, I missed last spring tho” I shrugged, β€œthat’s probably why, we mainly come down in the summer. Might have to start coming in the spring tho” he smirked letting his eyes travel my body.
I blushed with a laugh, β€œYou from Massachusetts?” I asked taking a step closer. β€œYeah, Boston, you?” He brought his drink up to his mouth but his eyes never leaving mine.
β€œI was born here, but we moved to New Jersey” I sighed, he creased his eyebrows β€œyou don’t like it?”.
β€œNo I love it, I just miss it here” I sighed, β€œwhat part-”he started before a shriek interrupted him making his eyes widen and look behind me. I whipped my head around seeing Alyssa run towards us.
She wrapped her arms around me and whispered yelled β€œI didn’t think you’d actually talk to him” she gasped, my face went rosy as I looked down to my feet. β€œHey Alyssa” he laughed, she immediately looked up to him.
β€œYour brother is so hot, give him my number please” she let go of me, β€œoh, Matt?” He asked as I turned around to leave so they can do their own thing.
I felt a hand wrap around my wrist and pull me back around and up next to them, I looked up seeing chris who was still talking to Alyssa. I was right in front of him, he grabbed my hand then spin me around so I was facing Alyssa and not him.
Alyssa looked at me and smirked as she handed chris her phone so he could put in Matt’s number.
β€œOkayyy, I think it’s time for us to go” I sighed turning around to face chris who frowned at me, β€œgirl we just got here?” Alyssa said pulling on my shoulder so I’d face her.
I sighed as I pulled my phone out, we’ve been here for a little over an hour. β€œI’m tired, you can stay but I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here by yourself” I sighed once again but my eyes widen a bit when I feel a hand on my lower back.
I turned my head slightly to look at chris who was talking to someone else but had a small smirk on his face as he saw me from the corner of his eyes.
β€œI’m not alone, I have my friends. I’ll be fine, and I’ll come up to your balcony so I don’t wake anyone up” she smiled as she turned around and left.
I turned back around to face chris who was still in conversation with this girl. Alyssa was right, they do always have a girl with them. I waited patiently to tell him that I was leaving.
She left and chris turned back around to me. β€œβ€˜M sorry, that was my friend madi” he smiled down at me, we were practically touching from how close we were.
β€œThat’s fine, I just wanted to tell you that I’m leaving” I smiled, β€œlet me walk you to your car?” He whispered. I sighed, β€œI didn’t take my car, I live right along the beach” I never broke eye contact. He laughed and shook his head as he started walking with my hand in his.
It was my turn to laugh, I laughed and started pulling him the opposite direction which made him laugh.
He walked me all the way to my balcony, the whole walk was filled with laughter. He’s literally the sweetest guy I’ve ever met.
β€œSo.. can I get your number?” He looked down at me with a smirk, I nodded as I pulled out my phone and gave it to him. β€œAre you actually gonna text me sweetheart?” He whispered as he typed, β€œuh hell yea?” I smirked which he laughed and shook his head. We said goodnight and he left, I turned around and went inside smiling.
I took a shower and changed into a big sweatshirt and just a pair of underwear, I jumped into bed sighing and almost immediately falling asleep
Breespeaks: why tf are these sooooooo long, also most of y’all’s tags arnt working:(

How about the reader accidentally stumbling upon Smoke shirtless and Smoke takes this opportunity to tease the reader?
Shirtless!Tomas x Reader
A/n: OOOOOOHHHHhhhh, I'm going to enjoy this lol
Tags: MK1, Post-MK1, drabble, soft score smut, NSFW
C/w: Shirtless Tomas, Tomas being a very, very bad boy, heat, sexual tension, sexually charged flirting, drooling
Next part
Tumblr media
You always loved hanging around the Lin Kuei Brothers. They were always great to be around. Except for Bi-han, he always had such a harsh and rude nature. Besides he had betrayed them by allying with Shang Tsung, so he was basically out of the picture. Kuai and Tomas made up for his absence with their loving and kind personalities. They were always nice to be around and you just adored them. You especially loved Tomas, he was a giant sweetheart, though his appearance didn't always let on to that. The man is an entire Brickhouse. You always tried not to stare too long at his veiny arms, his giant biceps, his broad shoulders, his massive...what were we talking about again?
Anyway, the man is a gentle giant and you love him to bits. That's why this moment shook you to your core. One day you were with them at their new base of operation, you wandering around the place looking for...what exactly? The bathroom? It doesn't matter you immediately forgot as you walked into Tomas's room. You had accidentally made a wrong turn, opened the door and walked right into his room. Your heart stopped as you saw him, without a shirt. A gentle sunlight came from the window and illuminated his ripping body. Highlighting every valuable detail, you could've sworn that was just the gods being cruel to you.
Tomas jumped in surprise as you entered the room, and his pecs jumped with him. "Y/n! What exactly are you doing here?" he softly asks. But you cannot respond, you are too taken by surprise by his body. It was like you were locked in a trance, you were helpless as you stared and admired every muscle on his body. You didn't notice and you soon began to drool as you stared at him. You didn't hear Tomas repeatedly ask you what you were doing in his room and if you were all right.
It took him some time to figure out what you were staring at, things slowly clicked as Tomas followed where your eyes were. A mischievous grin spread across his face.
"Oh, what's wrong, Y/n" He coyly asks as he poses slightly, just enough for his muscles to flex. You gasp as you see this, you feel your face get hot, and you are no doubt blushing. You felt your heart race as Toma continued to flex. "Is something distracting you, Y/n?" He teases.
"I"
"I"
You try to speak, but you're so lost in his body that your brain can't seem to process a single word to say. Tomas's flexes seem to get more sexual as he goes on he gives you this wicked smile. He knows what he's doing to you. Who would've known someone so sweet and innocent like him could be such a deviant? "Why, does Y/n have a crush?" He says, his hand slowly going up and down, rubbing his abs. "Has something caught your eye, Y/n?". His grin gets bigger and bigger as he stares you down with his grey eyes, once adorable or sinister. You're lost in him, you don't know what to do. Your heart is racing faster and faster, you can literally feel it beat against your chest. The final straw was when Tomas began to make his pecs bounce.
At that moment, you finally regain control of your body. With a scream, you turn, cover your face and bolt out of the room. Tomas's laughter fills the hall as you flee. "Come back, I have so much more to show you!" You hear him call as you run.
Afterwards, things are quite awkward between you two. Tomas has reverted back to his sweet and gentle nature, but the devilish side of him still comes out every now and then for ou. He likes to tease you about that time you walked in on him and how you drooled over him. "Careful, we don't need you getting distracted. I'm not in the mood to clean anymore drool.". God you hated him, him and his beautiful face...and his sexy and amazing body, and his....dammit, not again!

* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš** Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš** Β ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš* Β 
The Doctor was sitting at his desk reading over some files when you walked into the lab, his free hand holding a vial of bubbling golden liquid suspended in the air as though he’d been in the midst of something and got distracted by the paperwork. You idly wondered if the liquid would evaporate if he let it sit like that for too long while you briefly searched the lab for your cloak. You frowned when you didn’t find it. Where else could it possibly be? Dismissing the issue for now, you rolled up the sleeves of Childe’s coat yet again and checked on the fungi you were growing in petri dishes. If your hypothesis was correct, they’d mutate into the Tri-Lakshana fungi when exposed to concentrated Dendro energy, but before you could test that the samples had to grow. Which they were doing a fabulous job of; one strain in particular had completely covered the bottom of the petri dish, and you quickly transferred it to a larger surface to continue growing. A crow squawked from outside one of the laboratory’s enormous windows, and a cursory glance revealed it was one of the many that had taken to visiting your chamber’s window for food. It was easily identifiable from the purple stain across its claws; the wolfhook extract you’d used to mark them was clearly holding up well.Β 
So was the all-cure you’d taken that morning; reliable as always, it had reduced your headache to a tiny buzzing in the back of your skull, and the only thing that caused you mental pain at the moment was the thought of Signora and her unwelcome invitation.Β 
You chewed over the less-than-appealing prospect as you rummaged through the cabinets for a whopperflower stamen. The gala was bound to be uncomfortable, with the Harbingers and their political allies in attendance. You still hadn’t the slightest idea what had come over Signora to invite you; as far as you were concerned, you had absolutely no business being part of such an event. Not to mention the fact that you wouldn’t know anyone there, save for Childe, the Doctor and Signora, but you didn’t seek them out for conversation even in day to day situations, much less in galas where they’d no doubt have important people to chat up. All in all, the entire situation made you a little queasy, and you finished extracting the whopperflower nectar with an anxious sigh.Β 
You turned to take the bottles of nectar to the cooler, only to jump and stifle a yelp of surprise when you found the Doctor standing right in front of you. Honestly, what is it with these Harbingers and startling me?
β€œDoctor.” You acknowledged him with a nod.Β He leaned in closer still, resting his hands on the countertop behind you and effectively trapping you between it and himself. You were immediately struck by several revelations at once; the Doctor was significantly taller than you, tall enough to block out the light from the ceiling lamp and throw a shadow over you, and he was so incredibly close. For whatever reason, you suddenly found it a little hard to breathe.
β€œYou left a few documents on your workbench last night.”
Your brow furrowed slightly. β€œDid I?”
β€œYes,” he confirmed wryly, dropping a stack of paper on the countertop behind you. You transferred the bottle to one hand and picked the papers up with the other, a twist of nervousness settling in your stomach when you recognised them. You hadn’t meant for the Doctor to see these.Β 
β€œAh, yes. I’ll take them back with me today.”
β€œPerhaps you’d like to explain why you have a comprehensive procedure for creating an artificial Vision in your possession,” he drawled, folding his arms across his chest and tilting his head to the side as he watched you. You swallowed.Β 
β€œIt was a… pet project, I never pursued it to completion,” you replied, hoping he’d leave it at that.Β 
β€œIt’s quite the blasphemous study, don’t you think? Trying to recreate the power of the gods?” 
β€œHence why I never completed it.”
β€œThese lovely notes you left in the margins state otherwise,” he remarked, tapping the paper with a gloved finger. β€œIn my laboratory, no less.”
Oh dear. β€œI-”
β€œI’m sure you’re aware of the rules, my dear student,” he cut you off.Β  β€œAny experiments you wish to carry out on my premises must be approved first. And this”- he tapped the stack of paper again- β€œwas never submitted.”
You felt an embarrassed flush rise to your cheeks. You’d been caught red-handed. Dottore found himself more interested in the blush on your cheeks than your questionable research. Sadistic as he was, watching you scramble for an explanation was rather enjoyable.Β 
β€œMy apologies, doctor. I let my curiosity get the better of me.”
β€œYou have a recurring habit of doing that,” he replied amusedly. It occurred to you that he didn’t seem particularly angry. You fiddled with one of the buttons on Childe’s coat.Β 
β€œI acknowledge it as one of my faults.”
β€œSo very righteous of you.”
β€œNot particularly, considering I do nothing to remedy it,” you muttered sheepishly in response. The Doctor chuckled. He has a nice laugh. Appalled at yourself, you bury the thought deep in the back of your mind in an attempt to forget you’d ever conjured it.Β 
β€œWell, well, well. It seems my apprentice has a rebellious streak after all.” He grinned lazily, stepping back and resting his weight on the countertop behind him so you could slip past and store away the nectar to cool.Β 
You feel yourself flush anew. Archons, this is horrifically embarrassing. β€œOnce again, I apologise for acting without approval.”
β€œAnd if I don’t accept your apology?” Dottore asked, more to see you squirm than anything else.Β 
β€œI suppose I’ll conveniently vanish from the face of Teyvat without a trace, doctor.”
He let out a surprised bark of laughter. β€œWhy, are you implying I’d have you killed?”
β€œWell, consider this: your interpretation is ultimately a reflection of your subconscious,” you replied, shooting him a lopsided, slightly uncertain smile over your shoulder. This was unfamiliar ground, joking around with the Doctor, and you were afraid to overstep. He returned the smile with twice the intensity and amount of teeth; you caught a glimpse of his fangs.Β 
β€œIf that is true, then perhaps you’d do well to watch your mouth.”
You turned away to hide your widening smile, chuckling softly under your breath. Exchanging barbs with the Doctor was proving to be incredibly fun.Β 
β€œWould you like me to offer you a third apology?”
β€œI’m feeling generous,” he replied, amusement evident in his tone. β€œI’ll forgo causing your disappearance in exchange for your assistance in an experiment.”
β€œDeal,” you agree with a mock-serious nod, shrugging off Childe’s coat when the sleeves slipped past your fingertips for the millionth time. It wouldn’t do to have them in the way, and besides, the lab was warmer than the rest of the palace. β€œWhat’s the procedure?”
Three hours later, you slumped over the marble workbench with a groan. Blood stained your arms all the way up to your elbows, and your favourite turtleneck was utterly ruined. The experiment was a lengthy, gory process; the removal of organs for individual study. Though you were hardly one to shy away from getting your hands a little dirty, this was a little much even for you. You’d gone through thirteen scalpels alone, but at the very least the liver, brain and kidneys you’d extracted were perfectly intact and more than suitable to be experimented on. You wished for an immediate solution to your agonising back pain after holding yourself stiffly over a corpse for hours, though; you couldn’t even keep yourself upright, your forehead pressing against the cool surface. It helped with the headache that was gradually squirming its way back into your skull.Β 
β€œTired?” The Doctor asked, sparing your collapsed body an amused glance. He was somehow perfectly fine, much to your indignation.Β 
β€œI think tests on my organs would reveal unprecedented results at this moment,” you grumbled without lifting your head. Your hair splayed across the marble, which you recognised as a potential source of contamination yet wholeheartedly dismissed in favour of giving your aching muscles a rest. Dottore tugged off his bloodied gloves, watching you with a bemused smirk.Β 
β€œThat can certainly be arranged,” he replied, baring his teeth in a shark-like smile. You shot him a withering glare then fumbled with the chain attached to your belt to check the time; your pocket watch smugly informed you that it was close to midnight. A muttered curse slipped past your lips, foul enough to make even Dottore raise his eyebrows behind his mask and do a double take while you ruminated over the unpleasant possibility that the dining hall would be closed at this time, and you idly wondered if dried jueyun chilis would serve as an adequate substitute for fresh ones (you knew perfectly well they didn’t even compare, but deluding yourself was an infinitely more appealing prospect at the moment.) You heard the clinking of jar lids, specially sealed with an anti-moisture formula developed from the pollen of Nilotpala lotuses.Β 
β€œAdd a little slime condensate to the brain,” you muttered into the countertop with an absent-minded gesture of your hand.Β 
β€œMy, my, how brazen of you to issue orders to your superior.”
β€œPlease add a little slime condensate to the brain, doctor,” you quipped back with enough sarcasm to make the title sound like an insult.Β 
β€œNo,” Dottore replied pleasantly, sealing away the liver and kidneys. β€œIt’ll disrupt the ion concentration and water content.”
β€œThat would be true if I said concentrate, but I didn’t. Slime condensate is dilute enough to not interfere with the neurons' cytoplasm, but it’ll keep the brain fresher.”
β€œVery good,” he said approvingly. He’d heard you, and he knew you were right, but he’d wanted to test you. β€œYou retain your focus even in subpar conditions.” 
β€œAs expected of any scientist worth their salt,” you said wryly, lifting your head to rub your eyes and grope along the countertop for your glasses. You were a little miffed that he’d felt the need to test your understanding of such a simple concept.Β 
You rubbed your eyes again. β€œDoctor, can you see my glasses?” You asked, squinting to observe the array of equipment strewn across the workbench.Β 
β€œNo,” he lied, twirling them between his fingers and watching you search for them. You clicked your tongue with dissatisfaction, leaning in closer to the workbench’s surface in an attempt to see more clearly. Dottore bit back a chuckle.Β 
β€œOh, damn it all. I could’ve sworn they were right here…” 
β€œCan’t find them?” He asked, an obvious lilt of amusement in his voice. You looked up, narrowing your eyes at him.Β 
β€œYou have them, don’t you?”
β€œAh, you saw through me so quickly,” he said, sounding simultaneously impressed and disappointed. β€œAm I really so obvious?”
β€œHand them over,” you demanded, holding out your hand.Β 
He grinned so wide that you saw the flash of white from his teeth even with your vision blurred.Β 
β€œSuch a shameful manner to adopt with a superior,” he said with a shake of his head.Β 
You rubbed your eyes and let out an exasperated huff. You could sense a shift in your dynamic with the Doctor, but clearly he was the only one who knew how to navigate it, leaving you disoriented and unsure of how to respond.Β 
β€œDoctor. It’s nearing one in the morning, and I have to return to my dormitory. Which I can’t safely do without being able to see half a metre in front of me.”
β€œSurely your eyesight isn’t quite that terrible.” He knew it was. In fact, he had a perfect copy of your first diagnosis and most recent check-up in his file of you. That file had grown to concerning sizes ever since your apprenticeship began. The Doctor reasoned that it would be a scientific sin if he didn't document everything he could about such a fascinating test subject. You sighed; you had hoped it wouldn’t come to this.
β€œPlease give me my glasses.”
You didn’t he could possibly grin any wider, but he proved you wrong. Despite his amusement being at your expense, you still found yourself thinking that his smile wasn’t unpleasant to look at. Objectively speaking, of course.
β€œIn exchange for what?” He drawled, raising his eyebrows behind his mask.
An indignant flush rose to your face. In your defence, it was late, and the Doctor really was being an ass.
β€œIn exchange for your DNA cloning not to be tampered with,” you fumed. β€œIt would be a shame if someone were to denature the enzymes. Or accidentally alter the base sequence.”
β€œMy dear student, are you threatening me?”
β€œThe glasses, doctor.” You held out your hand again.
Dottore sighed mock-defeatedly, rounding the workbench and making his way towards you.
β€œYou are so terribly demanding,” he remarked. You glowered at him, arms folded, until his gloves fingers took hold of your chin, tilting your face upwards. Your eyes widened in shock as he came close enough for you to make out the detailing of his mask. β€œJust demanding enough for me to listen to you,” he murmured, lifting you glasses and setting them on the bridge of your nose. His grasp on your chin didn’t loosen, and he was incredibly thankful for his mask in that moment. It hid the way his eyes couldn’t help but gravitate towards your lips. You stood there frozen from shock until your limbs regained the ability to move and you stepped away with a nervous mumble; β€œI should be going now.” Dottore watched you hurry away with a self-satisfied smirk.
Disconcerted by the Doctor’s behaviour, you didn’t notice Childe’s sleeping form sprawled in front of the laboratory door until you tripped over him. He jerked awake as you steadied yourself.
β€œTrixy!” Rubbing his eyes with one hand, he clambered up from the floor and instinctively grabbed onto you for support when he swayed a little on his feet. You did your best to support his much taller body with your own.
β€œEleven? What are you doing here?” You asked, bewildered. He leaned heavily against your shoulder, stifling a yawn. His movements were oddly uncoordinated, you noticed.
β€œYou promised you’d come to dinner and you didn’t.” He was practically pouting. It was almost cute, if you convinced yourself to forget that he was a Harbinger. β€œI was waiting for you!”
β€œWhy in Teyvat”- with a grunt, you pushed him off you. β€œWhat possessed you, you buffoon? Dinner was six hours ago!”
β€œIf you keep calling me names I won’t give you these chillies I brought from the kitchen.”
β€œOh, Childe,” you murmured, dragging a hand down your face. β€œAre you sober?”
He giggled.
β€œNope.”
β€œDidn’t think so,” you agreed, looping his arm over your shoulder. You could faintly smell the wine on him. Red, if your nose was accurate. β€œMove it,” you ordered, dragging him towards the stairs. He grumbled a protest, burying his face in the crook of your neck.
β€œYou took off my coat.”
β€œThe sleeves were too long,” you replied, carefully navigating the stairs with him in tow. Surprise, surprise, it was far from easy to descend a spiral staircase with an overgrown Harbinger who refused to look where he was going leaning against you. β€œEleven, for Celestia’s sake.” You rapped your knuckles against his skull to get him to look up. β€œRaise your head and tell me where your bloody dorm is.”
β€œTrixyyy, don’t yell at me,” he whined into your neck.
β€œFocus, Eleven. You’re drunker than a single father on a Friday night and you need to rest. Now exert a little effort and tell me where your dorm is, or Archons help me I’ll leave you right here in the hallway.”
His incoherent mumbling echoed through the empty corridor, the palace eerily silent save for your footsteps and breathing. The foggy glow from the lamps glinting off the silver in the walls and throwing large shadows across the floor only added to the unnerving atmosphere, and you found yourself slowly getting nervous. With a muttered curse, you decided to drag him to your room instead. You knew where that was, at least.
It took entirely too long to reach the door to your room; Childe was not only ridiculously tall, but also heavy and resolutely uncooperative. You fumbled for your key with one hand while the other supported his limp body; after a moment of struggling with the chain at your belt you managed to get it unhooked and unlocked the door, dumping Childe onto the nearest armchair.
β€œDamn you,” you muttered.
β€œSo mean,” he protested, staring up at you as you made your way to the bathroom. He really wasn’t that drunk; a little tipsy, sure, but he was definitely playing it up. If it got him an ounce of your attention then he’d gladly throw his dignity to the four winds, shameless as it was.
β€œDon’t move,” you instructed him with a stern look before disappearing into the bathroom. He heard rushing water and concluded you were probably getting rid of the mysterious blood stains all over your torso.
To your eternal horror, when you emerged from the bathroom La Signora was lounging in the other armchair by the fire smoking a pipe of some mysterious substance you were quite certain you’d smelled in the Jade Chamber before. Perhaps Lady Ningguang and La Signora had similar smoking habits.
β€œL-lady Eight?”
She turned slightly to shoot you a knowing, dangerous smile after darting a look loaded with meaning between you and Childe passed out drunk in the other armchair. You blushed scarlet from your neck to the tips of your ears, clearing your throat and towelling your hair dry.
β€œA pleasure to see you again, my lady.”
β€œIs it really, little one?” She countered, surveying you with her one visible eye and taking a long drag from her pipe. β€œI seem to have come at a bad time.”
β€œNot at all,” you insisted. β€œLord Eleven- well, I tripped over him while exiting the Doctor’s laboratory. He seems to be fairly… intoxicated.”
Signora hummed, resting her chin in her hand and tapping her manicured nails against her cheek as she watched you dry off your hair. No doubt you’d been preparing to go to sleep.
β€œIs there anything you require my assistance with, my lady?” You ventured.
β€œYes, as a matter of fact,” she replied, calm and unhurried.Β  β€œCome here.”
You stepped towards her.
β€œCloser, little one.”
Another couple of steps.
β€œPerfect. Now…” She rose from the chair and held you by the shoulders, manoeuvring you into it instead. Setting the pipe aside, she bent over to scrutinise you thoughtfully, tilting your face to assess how you looked at different angles and in different lighting. Truly a work of art, she thought. You held your breath and sat as still as possible, your back ramrod straight.
β€œLady Eight…?”
β€œYou have nothing to wear for the gala. We’ll have to remedy that,” she murmured, tapping her finger on your cheek. You weren’t surprised that she knew the contents of your wardrobe in the slightest; the Fatui probably knew things even you didn’t know about yourself yet. (You were right).
β€œYou’d look ravishing in red,” she mused.
β€œI’m sure your opinion on such matter is indispensable.”
β€œQuite right,” she agreed, moving away from you a little. β€œAnd my opinion is that we should dress you in red.”
β€œAs my lady wishes.”
Childe had had quite enough of listening to Signora fawn over you, and chose that exact moment to get up and stride over.
β€œI think blue would be a better choice,” he interjected. You shot him a disbelieving look.
β€œYou put on quite a convincing act of being unconscious, don’t you, my lord?”
Signora appraised him coolly. β€œNonsense, Childe. Red.”
β€œBlue,” he argued, grazing his knuckles across your jaw. You shivered.
β€œLet us discuss this in the morning,” you suggested, moving to get up. Both Childe and Signora pushed you back down while glaring heatedly at each other. The air crackled with tension you could identify but not recognise; the two were clearly locked in some battle of wills.
β€œYou should wear something blue, Trixy.”
β€œThe gala is still months away-”
β€œRed is a much better choice. You agree, don’t you, little one?” Signora interjected, stroking your hair.
β€œObjectively speaking, it’s hardly relevant nor important what colour I wear,” you pointed out.
β€œNonsense,” Signora said dismissively. β€œYou’ll be the gem, the star of the gala. Of course it matters.”
Childe nodded, as much as he hated to agree with Signora. You massaged your temples.
β€œThat’s simply not true. Lady Eight, you told me yourself this gala is an event reserved for the maintenance of the Fatui’s connections. My personal appearance doesn’t factor into the equation in any way, shape or form.”
β€œMaybe our enjoyment depends on you,” Childe said with a grin, taking your hand and brushing a kiss across your knuckles. Oh, Archons. He’s completely drunk. Utterly sloshed. You were beginning to feel a little cloistered with both of them hovering over you, making nonsensical claims and debating irrelevant points.
β€œBlue.”
β€œRed.”
β€œA coin toss in the morning will decide,” you announced firmly, rubbing your eyes. It was appallingly late, and you knew waking up for the Doctor’s seven am lab session was going to be an evil experience. You really weren’t keen on making it any worse because two Harbingers couldn’t hold back their egos over something as trifling as your outfit.
Of all the ways to establish superiority, why did they have to pick one that involves me?
β€œMy lord, my lady, please allow me to see you out,” you continued, rising from where you were seated. Childe pouted.
β€œI’m drunk, Trixy. You have to nurse me back to health.”
Signora clicked her tongue derisively, and you mentally agreed with her. With a sigh, you rummaged through your medicine drawer for the tonic you’d concocted for hangovers. Though you weren’t a big drinker yourself, during your Akademiya years many of your friends indulged in the bad habit of drinking themselves half-blind (usually Kaveh and Dehya) and you didn’t have the patience to deal with their slurring words and careless behaviour. Hence your useful tonic. You shoved a vial of it at Childe.
β€œDrink this,” you ordered.
β€œWhat is it?”
β€œIf you want to be β€˜nursed back to health’ then drink what I give you without asking questions.”
He shrugged and knocked back the tiny vial in one fell swoop, grimacing as the bitter taste settled on his tongue.
β€œIs this poison?” He exclaimed, wrinkling his nose in distaste. Signora rolled her eyes.
β€œYes, you fool,” she said contemptuously. β€œThe little one had the utter gal to poison you in front of a Harbinger. That’s absolutely what happened.”
He muttered a derisive comment or two under his breath while you tried to push him towards the door. When he didn’t budge an inch, your patience finally snapped.
β€œDamn it all, won’t you leave, both of you?! I have more important matters to concern myself with than an overgrown child and a tempestuous mistress!”
Stunned by your outburst, they both left without another complaint. Childe even uttered a β€˜Sorry, Trixy…” as the door closed behind him. You locked the door, stomped over to the bed and went to sleep without even bothering to fully dry your hair.
You regretted that in the morning as you wrestled the unkempt, tangled strands into a semi-acceptable state. Panic prevailed; you didn’t have anything stored away to eat for breakfast, and a trip to the dining hall would definitely make you late. You cursed the Doctor to the lowest ring of hell, making a mad dash to grab a bite to eat anyway; it was his fault you woke up so late, keeping you in the lab until after midnight. You nearly crashed into Anya in the hallway in your haste, and you called out an apology that was quickly swallowed by the chatter of recruits and their footsteps. The dining hall had never seemed so far away, and you kept stealing glances at your pocket watch as you leaped down a full flight of stairs and all but tripped through the enormous doors, making a beeline towards the tables with the intention of wolfing down a leftover slice of pie at the very least. Damn it all. Even your precious morning tea was forgone in favour of scrambling back to the door and attempt to make it to the lab in time.
But you didn’t even make it to the door; a hand grabbed the back of your coat (Childe’s coat, really, that you’d thrown on in a fit of desperation) and yanked you away from the door.
β€œWhat”- you whirled around and were met by a rather familiar masked face inches from yours. The strange woman who you’d taken to calling β€˜Arlie’ as a nickname. β€œRelease me this instant, I’m late.”
She tsked, pulling you closer by your collar this time.
β€œWhere have you been?”
You shot a desperate glance at your watch. In all fairness, her irritation could very well be justified; you often took dinner together and chatted over dessert at least every other day. Besides, the sheer authority she exuded was enough to make you feel rather guilty. You hadn’t been to the dining hall in nearly a week, surviving off jars of reheated soup and candied amakumo fruit. Clearly your presence was more impactful to Arlie than you’d thought (she thought it was rather obvious; going to the trouble of a disguise just to indulge in conversation with you should’ve been an adequate indicator).
β€œIt’s been an awfully busy week, Arlie, I’m sorry,” you said hurriedly, licking a few crumbs from the pie’s crust off your fingertips. Much to her relief, her mask concealed the way her eyes immediately latched onto your mouth and tongue. The room felt a little hotter all of a sudden. β€œI really must be going, the Doctor will have my bones on a silver platter if I keep him waiting any longer.”
Arlie rolled her eyes. As if she’d let any harm come to her little pet, by the hand of Dottore or otherwise. Nevertheless, she released you.
β€œI’d like to see you at dinner today.” It was more of a warning than an invitation. You were too rushed to protest her patronising tone, and you rather enjoyed the meals you shared too.
β€œYou will,” you promised, and then rushed out of the door towards the lab. She watched the white velvet of your coat disappear with a slight frown; now how could she get you to stop wearing that fool’s clothes?
Β 
The door to the laboratory was hanging ajar. Thoroughly unusual, but you were fifteen minutes late by then and a lapse in the Doctor’s obsessively maintained habits took a backseat. You stepped into the lab with as much dignity as you could muster, determined not to look guilty; everyone was late now and then, the Doctor could bloody well suck it up-
A pair of hands grabbed you by the shoulders and dragged you the rest of the way into the lab, shaking you vigorously. With an irritated, surprised yell, you tried to shove away the assailant, and when that didn’t work you resorted to your trusty glare.
Oh. The man looked remarkably like the Doctor. The same curly, silver-blue hair and stubborn set to his jaw. And the same curve to his top lip.
The jarring similarities made you pause and scrutinise the man a little more closely.
β€œWho are you?” You asked bluntly, frowning as you tried to remember if the Doctor ever mentioned having siblings. You could hear more voices coming from further inside; tiptoeing, you caught sight of several more Dottore-like people. So definitely not siblings, then. The not-Doctor tsked, then shook you hard again to regain your attention. β€œWho are all of these people? Why do you all look like the Doctor?”
At the sound of your voice, all the Dottore clones went scampering away through exits you hadn’t even known existed.
β€œWhere were you, you disagreeable fool?”
You stared up at the clone who still hadn’t let go of you.
β€œI’d like an explanation as to why there are apparently multiple copies of my supervisor.”
β€œYou’re every bit as nosy as Prime said…” he muttered.
β€œAnd who, pray tell, is Prime? Is that some sort of a code name for my Doctor?”
β€œQuite right,” a familiar, drawling voice responded. The clone tensed up then hurried off, leaving you off-balance and stumbling. β€œYou are late. Inexcusably so,” the Doctor said, watching you steady yourself.
β€œWhy are there seven clones of you?”

There are so many good ones in the 100 dialogue writing prompts!
But I'll choose: 67. "What if we make a deal?" For supercorp if you will!
I love your writing so much! And hope you have a brilliant day😘
(Angst ahead, with a hopeful end)
β€œWhat if we make a deal?”
Kara turned round slowly, back pressing against the balcony balustrade as she watched Lena approach tentatively.Β  β€œWhat kind of deal?”
β€œWith clear terms, if I do X that means Y. We can have a standard deal in place when you need my assistance.” Lena explained, clasping her hands in front of herself, pale skin glowing as she was backlit by the bright glow of monitors through the window. β€œI gain access to the tower’s laboratory and it’s resources, provide consultancy on the approach to dealing with the alien but no vote in how it is handled unless I provide a key element then I get an equal stake vote to the other Superfriend team members.”
Kara’s gaze narrowed as she accused, β€œYou want to turn β€˜helping’ into a transaction?”
There was a flicker of hurt that flashed through green eyes but Lena blinked it away quickly enough, expression returning to the blank one she sported whenever she was called upon to assist Supergirll and her team. β€œNo.” Lena said simply, the syllable shaking under the weight of all the emotion it was holding back. β€œI want to help. But I don’t know the parameters that I’m allowed to operate in.”
β€œLook,” Kara’s jaw clenched, stomach swirling with regret and shame, head dipping low, β€œI know things are awkward-β€œ
β€œAwkward is an understatement.” Lena corrected, with a harsh chuckle that Kara didn’t bother to deny. β€œI feel actively unwelcome, Kara. I try to help and give an opinion and I am met with silence and you actively choosing the option in opposition to mine.”
Kara shifted her weight from foot to foot, β€œI just don’t agree with you.”
β€œNo, you just don’t want to.”
β€œThat’s not-β€œ
Lena’s expression hardened for the first time then, a flash of Luthor might that she had buried since coming to Kara with an apology and a request for aid with her brother. β€œI know you were all for using a containment method rather than risking Alex’s chemical compound on that last alien until I put forward a way to do that. Then you switched because I suggested it.” 
Kara winced, wanting to argue back and deny the accusation but she was trying to get better with the instinct to lie to Lena - an ingrained reaction that initially grew from a place of sincere good intentions but became twisted with each betrayal on either side.
Β β€œThis isn’t working because you don’t trust me.” Lena said, shaking her head mournfully, β€œAnd I… I understand that. So… let’s remove trust from the equation.”
β€œWith a deal.” Kara guessed.
β€œExactly. With parameters and terms and conditions.” Lena asserted, taking a shy step closer - Kara leaned ever so slightly further back over the balustrade, prompting Lena to shuffle backwards in response. β€œYou know what lines I have to operate in and I don't need to tread on eggshells since I know what I’m allowed to do and what the response to my actions will be.”
Kara sighed, glancing away and staring out over the city skyline as she admitted, β€œI don’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
She knew how difficult it was for Lena, knew that when she came to the tower everyone stayed away - a bubble of distance to keep her isolated, knew that Lena pre-emptively flinched when offering a countering opinion because she knew it would be met by Kara instantly digging in her heels. Brainy and Kelly bridged the gap, doing what they could to keep the tension low and make it so Lena wasn’t without any allies. Kara knew that Lena was doing them a favour by jumping to their aid, and the least they should do was recognise that. .
β€œYes, you do.” Lena whispered, shattering the rose-tinted glasses Kara had tried to wear. β€œI know because I was doing it not long ago and you’re doing it for the same reason I did.”
β€œWhich is?”
β€œI hurt you and seeing me hurts all over again.”
Kara absorbed this, her heart shriveling up into something tiny as if by being smaller it couldn’t contain as much hurt and love as it currently did. She cleared her throat, finally looking back to her once best friend, β€œAnd this will help?”
β€œI don’t know.” Lena confessed. β€œBut it’s different and right now it’s all I have. If it doesn’t…” She paused, gaze going far away as she considered her options before saying, β€œI’ll go.”
β€œGo? Go where?” Kara asked, the sharp tang of adrenaline and fear flooding her system.
β€œAway from here. Away from you.” Lena murmured, and Kara could see Lena’s throat bob as she swallowed back a lump of emotion. β€œI know I’ve done wrong but I don’t think I should make myself miserable as penitence…” Lena’s brow furrowed and she added in a mutter, β€œat least that’s what Kelly said. And you don’t deserve to be miserable either.”
Kara’s hands shifted to her hips, fingers digging in tightly, her head feeling suddenly light like she was floating above all this - she was instead watching the events play out, a version of the future where Lena wasn’t there at all.Β 
β€œOkay, then let’s make a deal.” Kara said quickly, words spilling out in an eager bid to extinguish the nightmarish vision she was seeing.
Lena looked surprised but didn’t question Kara’s decision, β€œI will draft a contract and send it to you for editing?”
β€œOkay.” Kara breathed, turning away and back to the city, unable to bear watching Lena leave. She could hear Lena’s heartbeat, and knew Lena waited a couple of seconds before making her move. β€œLena?” Kara called out before she had a chance to stop herself.
β€œYes?” Lena replied, her heartbeat rising in tempo to match the pounding beat of Kara’s own.
Kara licked her lips, eyes slipping closed as she whispered, β€œYou leaving would make me miserable too.”

pov: layla
I spent the next week couped in my room, refusing to leave as I quickly smoked the bag of weed Wes had given me. Allie had messaged me in concern multiple times and I finally built up the courage to reply to her a day after her last message.
Allie <3 Monday hey girl are you okay? matt has been off all day 1:30pm Tuesday if u wanna talk im here <3 5:37pm Wednesday im getting concerned pls message me if u need anything 3:47pm

Allie <3 im sorry :(10:23pm
You its okay i'll be at school tmrw 10:27pm
Allie <3 okay! see ya then <3 10:28pm
I locked my phone and threw it lazily on the bed beside me, rolling over to face the wall where my window was cracked open. I was glad my dad was out tonight, having to deal with him for over a week straight was draining and I felt like it didn't benefit my self-loathing in any way. I sighed as my mind always travelled back to the look on Matt's face, the pure hurt in his eyes that I knew I caused.
Part of me was glad he hadn't messaged or tried to talk to me. It meant that I could push him away if I wanted to. I did just that without even consciously meaning to. I got scared and made it his fault in my brain but as I continued rotting in my bed, I realised I hurt him more than I ever meant to. It wasn't his fault that I was afraid of someone being close, it wasn't his fault that I let something so small set me off. I needed to make him realise it wasn't his fault and I was just not used to the affection and accommodation he offered me daily.
I barely slept over the past week and this night was no different. My alarm went off in the early hours of the morning and I knew I had slept a total of 4 hours from the way my brain had constantly been reeling. I dragged myself out of bed and trudged into the bathroom. I took an extra long shower to attempt to rid the disgust I felt towards myself.
After scrubbing my entire body head to toe, I jumped out of the shower and walked to my room. My entire body felt heavy and I felt tears prick my eyes when I looked over to the pink sweater that was still laying over my bag. I picked it up, realising it was the only clean sweater I had since I hadn't been bothered with laundry. I quickly slid it over my head before sliding on my black sweatpants and combat boots. I slid my leather jacket over the top, not bothering with any makeup as I lazily tied my now damp hair into a low ponytail. I grabbed my bag, quickly sprayed on some perfume and grabbed my phone off of my bedside table.
I quickly exited my house without food or water in my stomach and as I began walking down the road, I decided to light one of the last few cigarettes I had pre-rolled. I grabbed my headphones from my bag, slid one into my ear and plugged them into my phone. I clicked shuffle on one of my playlists and I let my feet drag on the asphalt as I slowly made my way down the streets of Massachusetts.
After an hour, I finally arrived in the parking lot of the school and I scanned the cars, my eyes landing where I saw the familiar silver minivan. I paused, letting out a heavy breath as I collected myself and began walking to the group of people in front of the car.
Nate was the first to notice me and he just looked at me with no expression before he turned back to the group. As I got closer I noticed the fact that Mia was standing beside Matt with her head leaned on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her back lazily and I felt a pang of pure jealousy run through me. I tried to shake it off as I got closer, knowing I had no right to be mad about it right now since I was the one who caused the riff between the brown-haired boy and myself.
"Speak of the devil," I heard Nick say when his eyes caught mine and I was a few feet away, standing uncomfortably as I looked between all of them. All of their heads turned to look at me, Allie being the only one who didn't seem like they were looking right through me.
"Matt, can I talk to you?" I asked quietly as I didn't dare to meet his eyes yet and there was an uncomfortable silence that fell over us, "Please."
"About what?" he asked, his tone short and I looked up to see his face completely expressionless but his eyes held such hurt and aggravation that it felt like it cut right through me.
"Last week," I mumbled, ignoring the pain in my chest of seeing Mia looking at me with a slight smirk. I focused in on the boy I had hurt, his blue eyes piercing in the sunlight.
"Now?" he questioned, not taking his eyes off of me and I just looked at him, the judgement of his friends radiating off of them. He sighed heavily before swinging his arm out from around Mia and I felt a weight lifted off of my shoulders but there was still a pressure on my chest, "I'll be back."
I looked at the ground as he pushed away from the hood of the minivan and he walked past me. I followed behind him, not daring to look back at his friends as we walked to the back of the parking lot before he stopped to face me.
He didn't say anything for a moment as I looked up at him and he scanned me head to toe before murmuring, "That's my sweater."
"Yeah. I left it on my bag all week but I didn't have any clean hoodies for today," I explained and he hummed as I picked at the skin around my fingers, my nails too short to bite now that I had been picking at them all week. I nervously chewed on my lip before I said, "I'm sorry."
"It took you a week to say that?" he asked, his voice quiet but his words laced with pain.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I know I reacted to what you said horribly but I just-" I cut myself off as I took a breath and looked down at the gravel below us, "I haven't had anyone take care of me the way you do. It scares me. I'm sorry."
I squeezed my eyes closed, chewing on my bottom lip far more aggressively than I intended but my heart raced as I waited for his response. I felt his hand fall under my chin and he lifted my face to look up at him, noticing now that he was slightly closer to me. He used his thumb to gently pull my lip away from my teeth as I fidgeted with the hem of the pink sweater.
"Why didn't you just talk to me?" he asked, his tone softening as he looked down at me and I shrugged dumbly.
"I am bad at talking about that sorta stuff," I answered quietly, my throat closing from the sadness that invaded my body as I looked up at him. I had no right to be upset right now, I was the one who fucked up and made this so difficult, but I felt guilt invade my entire body when I realised I didn't want to push him away. It was habit and I was always bad at breaking them.
"Don't do that again," he demanded softly and I pursed my lips as I pushed my sadness down the best I could as tears sprung to my eyes, "Or I swear to god I won't talk to you again and I don't want to stop talking to you. Ever."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you away. I just don't know how to deal with everything I'm feeling and I know it's shitty but I promise I'm trying. I have no right to be sad right now because this is my fault but I feel so horrible for making you upset. You deserve so much more than that and if I can't give that to you I understand if you don't want me to be around anymore," I rambled out all of my feelings and conflicting voices in my head but I was cut off by his lips on mine.
I paused for a moment to register what was happening before my body melted into his, his arms wrapping around my lower back as I snaked my arms around his neck. I pulled him into me, missing the way his body felt against my own more than I anticipated. It felt like a breath of fresh air after being stuck in my room for the past week with smoke-filled lungs. He gripped my hips, pulling me impossibly closer to him as I tangled my hands in his hair before he pulled away to breathe for a moment.
"You're an idiot," he mumbled before he leaned back in to kiss me gently again.
"I know," I mumbled against his lips and he ran his tongue against my rough lips, the sting of his saliva hitting the open splits on my lips from chewing them. I hissed and pulled away as he looked down at me.
"You need to stop biting your lip," he muttered as his eyes travelled all around my face, "And stop picking your nails. You're not gonna have any left soon."
"I've been stressed the past week. I can't help it," I whispered as I looked up at him in awe. I had forgotten the pure oxytocin that ran through my system when I was with him and I refused to let it go again.
"Pretty girl," he gave me a sympathetic look and I shook my head as I pulled away from his face slightly, my arms still slung over his shoulders.
"Don't feel bad. This was my doing and I will make it up to you," I answered sternly and his face broke into a small smile. I sighed, the weight being lifted off of my chest now and my body tingled with joy.
"All I'm asking is that you talk to me next time," he whispered, leaning down to place a peck on my lips and I let it linger before I pulled back and nodded.
"I will try," I scratched the nape of his neck lightly and he bit his bottom lip as my face dropped, "Don't look at me like that before we have to go inside. I'll drive us back to your house right now."
"I don't see you for a week and you're ready to jump my bones already," he chuckled and I raised my eyebrows.
"How else can I make it up to you, ya know?" I joked as let my mouth form into a smirk and he shook his head as he pursed his lips, "Does this mean I can come to your game this week?"
"Of course baby," he smiled down at me and I felt the butterflies erupt in my stomach again, promising not only him but myself to never let myself ruin this again.
"By the way," I let my right hand trail from his neck to his chest, playing with the necklace that sat comfortably on his collarbones, "Allie's brother was just dropping me home. He tried to flirt with me but I shut it down. I wasn't lying about that."
"I know. I overreacted. I'm sorry about that," he said softly and I shook my head, twiddling the pendant between my fingers as I looked up at him.
"I know how it looked. I would've been just as upset. You don't need to apologise for it," I mumbled, trying hard to convey my feelings as best I could to which he didn't respond verbally. He instead placed another kiss against my lips and smiled against me as he squeezed my hips.
"Matt!" I heard Chris's voice call from only a few feet away and we both broke apart to look over at him, "You guys done? We gotta go to class."
"I forgot about that," I joked and Chris just gave me a deadpanned look as Matt chuckled.
"We'll be there in a sec," he called to his brother who just rolled his eyes and spun around to walk back to his friends, "They're more pissed at you than I was."
"I can tell," I mumbled as I watched their eyes pour directly into me, "Allie messaged me though."
"She was the only one defending you," he told me honestly and I hummed as I looked back up to him, "I'll talk to them."
"Don't sugarcoat it. You can tell them I'm a dumbass who doesn't know how to deal with her emotions," I stated and he shook his head with a smile, placing a kiss on the top of my head before swinging his arm over my shoulders.
"Come on," he said nodding towards the group and I hesitantly began walking with him by my side. Their eyes stayed glued to us as we approached and Mia gave me nothing but a scowl with her arms crossed, "Chill out. We talked about it."
"That didn't seem like talking," Mia spat and I remained silent, letting Matt handle the situation as I looked at Allie who gave me a sympathetic smile.
"Don't Mia," Matt deadpanned and she only scoffed with a roll of her eyes, "We talked about it and I don't wanna hear it."
"Only took you a week," Nate raised his eyebrows as he spoke and he looked at me. I pursed my lips while glancing between them.
"At least it happened," Matt retorted before the bell rang and he sighed, "We'll talk about it later. Let's go."
He began walking with his arm around my shoulder still and I followed suit, Chris moving to stand on the other side of Matt as everyone else followed behind. We made our way to our classes and once we sat down, a weight fell back on my chest.
Not only did I have to make it up to Matt, I had to win back his brothers and his friends.
+++
Pretty boy where did u go?? 12:23pm
You 🚬 be there in a minute 12:24pm
I locked my phone, sliding it into my pocket as I finished off my cigarette, throwing it onto the ground before I wedged it into the ground with my boot. I made my way back inside and straight to the cafeteria where I saw the group of friends sitting together.
"Hey," Allie beamed as she scooted closer to Mia to make space between her and Matt for me to sit. I smiled at her as I swung my legs over the bench and sat down. Matt placed his arm around my lower back as he continued his conversation with Nick.
"I don't want to wear a tie. That's why I got the red shirt," Matt groaned and Nick gave him a deadpanned look.
"It's prom. You're supposed to look fancy with a tie," Nick stated and Matt ran a hand across his face.
"We're all wearing a tie. Don't be a bitch," Nate pointed out and I tuned them out as Allie tapped my shoulder to gain my attention.
"You okay?" she asked quietly and I nodded with a hum.
"Yeah. Thank you for checking on me," I answered in a hushed tone and she shrugged with her sunshine smile that warmed my heart to know she wasn't annoyed with me.
"Of course. That's what friends are for," she said casually before she turned back to listen to the group conversation. I let her words hang over my head like a cloud.
That's what friends are for.
I don't remember the last time I had a genuine friend and her simple words struck me right in my heart. She had always been kind to me and from the moment we talked, she had been such a light in my life. I realised I not only wanted to share my emotions and feelings with Matt but also with Allie to show her that I appreciated her.
I wanted to be better for both of them.
"How long do we have to stay there?" Chris whined as he threw his head onto the table dramatically and Allie rolled her eyes.
"You're acting like you're being held hostage. If you don't wanna go it's fine," Allie responded, her tone quietening at the end and I could sense the slight sadness at Chris's distaste for prom.
"Al, I told you I'm going and I'll stick to that. I just don't wanna be there for five hours," he lifted his head up to look at her and she shrugged, eyes glancing at the table.
"We can leave early and go back to my house," she offered and Chris's mouth broke into a smile as he nodded.
"Works for me," he said triumphantly before sitting up again, resting his elbows on the table in front of him.
"How are we getting there?" Mia asked, looking around at the group and I just sat there in silence, deciding to go along with whatever plan I knew Allie had already set up.
"Meet up at my house at five thirty so we can take photos and make sure we have everything and then we will leave at like six-thirty to get to the hotel," Allie explained the plan and everyone seemed to hum along in agreement. I felt Matt's arm snake further around my back as he scooted closer to me.
"How are we getting there?" Nick asked and Allie smiled as she adjusted her ponytail.
"I got us a limo," she announced happily and Mia showed her first sign of happiness of the day as she squealed excitedly, "You guys won't drink right?"
Matt and his brothers shook their heads with a firm no and Allie turned to look at me and I shrugged, "Depends on what it is."
"Bottle of champagne in the limo?" Mia asked Allie and Allie nodded causing Mia's smile to widen.
"You're dad won't arrest us if we drink?" Nate asked, the half-hearted joke not landing well with Mia as she rolled her eyes.
"Not if he doesn't know," she pointed out with a slight smirk and Nate raised his eyebrows before nodding in agreement.
"Did you find a dress?" Nate asked, turning his attention to me as he attempted to make conversation. I assumed that in the time I'd been in my other classes and was outside Matt had talked to Nate, Chris and Nick since they weren't glaring at me anymore but they still felt slightly standoffish.
"No. I'm just gonna make my own," I explained and he nodded, his smile in a downturned smile.
"Mad impressive that you can do that," he complimented me and I gave him a half-hearted smile as Matt traced circles on my hip with his thumb.
"Thanks. I just hope I can finish it in time," I explained and I could sense Mia's disgust towards me radiating off of her but I was learning to tune her out like I had always done before Matt came into my life.
Suddenly the bell rang for our next classes and everyone began getting up. I stood up from the table before Matt spun me around and kissed my lips gently. I froze for a moment, shocked at the fact he did that in the middle of the cafeteria but I quickly reciprocated the action before he pulled away.
"See you after school pretty girl," he smirked at me before he walked away and I stood still for a moment as I watched him walk away with Nick, Chris, Nate and Mia.
"You guys are so fucking cute it makes me want to throw up," Allie rolled her eyes playfully beside me and I looked around to see people staring at me once again. I pursed my lips, my cheeks tinging red as I hid a smile and shook my head before I began walking out of the cafeteria.

the prophecy
➝ jenson didn't want money, just someone who wanted his company. is that too much to ask for?
➝ word count: 4k
➝ warnings: mentions of death, alcohol, and a particular bad time for jenson
➝ author's note: well, the last two weeks have been horrible, i completely doubted my ability as a writer and my health decided to abandon me in every way. i still don't feel very good and i really think i should give up everything, but ally won't let me, so here we have another one-shot that i had shelved out of frustration with myself. enjoy!
Driving down that street was bittersweet.
The night was beautiful. The sky was spectacularly clear and the silver light of the moon illuminated the gentle waves of the Mediterranean. The pleasant breeze disguised the heat that had been on the French Riviera all day.
However, you weren't looking at the goosebumps in your arms or the stars twinkling in the sky. Your eyes were fixed on the large butter-colored house that stood discreetly among the shady trees just to his left.
As you stopped the MINI you had rented at Nice airport, you allowed yourself to roll down the window and contemplate those familiar walls.
It felt like an eternity since you had last been there, walking up the stone steps, the gray mixed with red. You closed your eyes, trying not to pay attention to your stomach, which churned at the memory. However, it was something you couldn't help.
After all, that had been your last sight of John Button.
You clearly remembered the day you had met him. Wearing a white shirt and with red cheeks from the heat in Melbourne, he approached you and your boss, Richard, with a wide smile. After some typically English jokes about the intense sun, he invited the two of you to join him at the table where he was sitting with his daughter-in-law, Jessica, and son, Jenson.
It was with that moment in mind that you noticed something strange in the house.
With the swaying of the tree branches that covered the facade, you could see that the front of the residence was illuminated, as if there was a light on. In addition to being sure that no one was in the house, you were almost certain that you hadn't left any lights on the last time you were there.
β€œSomeone broke in”, you thought, rummaging through your bag for your house keys.
After typing a message to Jenson, stating that you had seen something strange at John's house and that you would check out what was going on, you made your way to the main gate, finding it ajar.
β€” My God β€” you murmured, as you followed the path in silence. With wide eyes, you were trying to make out the sharp sound that mixed with the rustling of leaves and the waves of the sea when a particular loud noise made you jump.
Taking your phone from your pocket, you rolled your eyes when you read the name on the caller ID. β€œBad timing”, you thought, as you dragged your finger across the screen and brought the device to your ear.
β€” Now I can't, Jenson, I'm here at John's house…
However, instead of a humorous comment or an ironic question, you heard a loud sob.
β€” Y/N β€” Jenson murmured, taking a sniff.
β€” Are you crying?
β€” I'm here, Y/N.
β€” Here? Jenson, where are you?
β€” Here β€” he stammered, before crying again, this time louder.
So loud that you realized what he was talking about.
Walking a few more meters, you saw the staircase that led to the front door of the house, as well as a man sitting on the steps, accompanied by a half-empty bottle of whiskey and his face wet with tears, leaning against the wall next to him.
β€” Jenson! β€” you exclaimed, hanging up your phone and running towards him. Climbing the steps two at a time, you approached the driver practically out of breath, your heart almost coming out of your mouth β€” Jenson, are you okay? What happened? What are you doing here?
He looked at you with a blank stare.
β€” Y/N…
β€” Jenson, tell me, what are you doing here?
β€” I want my father β€” the driver replied softly, the words dragging on his tongue. Holding his face, you noticed more tears falling from his eyes β€” Where is my father?
β€” Jense β€” you murmured, before pulling him towards you for a hug. With his head buried in the crook of your neck, he cried loudly, his gasps making his entire body shake and your eyes filling with tears. You allowed them to fall from your eyes as you blinked a little harder, tightening your arms around him.
β€” He wasn't supposed to come alone β€” he stammered against his shoulder, before looking up and sniffling β€” He couldn't, he shouldn't…
β€” I know, Jense, I know β€” you replied, running your hand over his face to dry the tears.
β€” He died alone, Y/N β€” Jenson murmured β€” He died without anyone by his side. My father died alone, without anyone…
You pressed your lips together, feeling more tears streaming down your face. It was ironic and particularly sad, considering how loved John was by everyone around him. Dying like that, in the open and completely alone, was something you didn't wish on anyone.
β€” I don't want to be alone β€” he continued, rubbing his nose β€” I don't want to be alone, I don't, I don't…
β€” You won't be alone β€” you said, trying to calm him down, as the driver reached for the bottle of whiskey, taking a large gulp before you could protest or stop him.
β€” I will, Y/N β€” he replied, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand β€” I will, I know I will...
β€” No, you won't β€” you said, as Jenson brought the bottle to your mouth, only for you to abruptly remove it from his hand β€” And you're going to stop with that whiskey now.
He tried to retrieve the bottle, but you tipped it over the steps, spilling the rest of the contents onto the stone.
β€” No β€” the driver protested, as the amber liquid ran down the steps.
β€” Yes β€” you returned β€” You can't keep drinking, Jense.
β€” I can…
β€” No, you can't and you won't β€” you said, your tone somewhat harsh, almost like a mother scolding a naughty child β€” I'm not going to watch you drink yourself into an alcoholic coma with my arms crossed. Now get up.
He looked at you with an expression that mixed confusion and sadness.
β€” Y/N β€” he stammered.
β€” Come on, Jense β€” you said, giving your hand to help him get up.
The task of taking the driver into the house was not simple. Far beyond the darkness of the rooms, courtesy of the curtains that covered the large windows that faced the sea, Jenson seemed determined not to cooperate with your efforts to take him to the main suite to take a shower.
After some struggle to drag him up the marble stairs to the second floor and tripping over a painting that was leaning against the wall as he slurred about how much his father liked that place, you managed to make it to the spacious bathroom. of the room that had once been John's. Asking Jenson to lean on the white stone sink, you allowed yourself a few seconds to breathe before continuing on your mission to save the driver from the worst hangover of his life.
β€” You can take off your clothes β€” you said, seriously.
β€” For what? β€” he asked, frowning.
β€” So you can take a shower. You reek of sweat and cheap whiskey.
Your observation made him take a step forward, losing his balance and placing both hands on your shoulders.
β€” It’s not cheap whiskey, it’s a very good brand…
β€” Which you probably bought for five euros in some dodgy liquor store in Monaco, right? β€” you asked, as you took your hands to the white shirt he was wearing and started to undo the buttons, revealing his chest.
β€” But it was a good whiskey, you could have tried it β€” Jenson murmured β€” But you threw it all away...
β€” It was either throw it away or let you keep drinking it until dawn.
β€” That was my plan.
Your hands stopped at the last button of his shirt, your lips pursed as you lifted your face to look at the driver. The seconds of silence that stretched inside the bathroom made your heart sink. After swallowing hard, you asked him to take off his shirt, which he did without saying a word.
Next, you moved on to his belt, unbuckling it and undoing the button on his pants.
β€” What are you doing?
β€” Taking off your pants.
β€” For what? β€” Jenson asked in a naive tone.
β€” So you can get in the shower β€” you replied, bending down slightly to slide his jeans down his legs, leaving him in just his underwear β€” Come in.
β€” And the underwear?
You felt your face heat up.
β€” I definitely don't need to see your dick today, Jenson. Now go to the shower.
Balancing himself with his hand on your shoulder, he carefully entered the bathtub, sitting on the edge. Watching you turn on the shower, he hissed as he felt the cold water splash onto his legs. However, that didn't stop you from placing your hand on the driver's tattooed shoulder to encourage him to get wet.
β€” No, Y/N β€” he grumbled β€” It's too cold.
β€” The cold water will help you…
β€” I don't want help.
β€” Come on, please β€” you said, bringing your face closer to his β€” You'll feel better after the shower...
Turning his head to you, his gaze seemed empty.
β€” I'm not going to get better, Y/N β€” he said in a low voice β€” This is me now, this depressed and pathetic thing that no one wants around...
Something about those words made you adjust your posture, irritation rising up your neck in a hot wave.
β€” Get in the shower, Button β€” you said, harshly, pushing his shoulder.
Silently, he stood up and placed himself under the cold spray, letting out a loud grunt. After searching the cupboards and only finding some soap forgotten in the corner, you returned to the shower to clean Jenson's skin and hair. β€œIt’s going to look terrible without conditioner”, you thought to yourself, as your fingers rubbed his scalp. After rinsing off the soap that was on his skin and hair, you turned off the shower and wrapped him in a towel.
β€” Can you dry yourself? β€” you asked, earning a positive nod from him β€” Okay, then I'll make the bed.
Leaving the driver to dry off, you went to the bedroom, testing the lamps that flanked the bed, which looked somewhat imperious with its canopy, and condemning yourself for having forgotten that there was no power in the house. The furniture was old style, however, contrary to what you would expect in a lived-in place, the cupboards, shelves and desk were empty. You knew that this was the result of a day's work by Jenson and his sisters with the intention of keeping their father's memories.
Removing the sheet, you felt relief fill your chest when you discovered that there were still pillows and a blanket on the bed. You had just thrown the dusty fabric in one of the corners of the room when Jenson appeared in the bathroom door, completely naked. Staggering, he dropped face down on the bed without any ceremony.
β€” Jense, I was finishing…
β€” No need β€” he murmured, his face against the pillow.
Pursing your lips, you dropped the blanket onto the mattress, making a conscious effort not to look at his butt.
β€” Okay, so β€” you stuttered, while the pilot fidgeted, turning his head towards you β€” I'm going to see if there's another blanket for me to take to the couch downstairs...
β€” Why?
β€” Because I'm not going to leave you alone here.
β€” So stay.
You gave a small smile.
β€” I'll stay, Jense, but downstairs.
β€” Stay here β€” he stammered, stretching a hand across the bed.
β€” Here?
A positive grunt was the only response you got, heavy breathing indicating he had fallen asleep. Facing his calm expression, you didn't have the courage to deny his request, especially at that moment. Settling down on the mattress, you felt Jenson shift next to you, grunting in reaction to your movement. Then, he placed an arm over your stomach, as if he was trying to hug you or just make sure you stayed there.
And you stayed.
The sun was rising over the horizon and entering the room through the window without any ceremony when you woke up. A little confused, you rubbed your eyes, focusing again on the ceiling, realizing that the checkered pattern was from the fabric covering the canopy and not an eccentric painting choice by John. The memory of the man made you look to the side, finding Jenson still lying down, sleeping soundly, a string of drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The scene made you give a restrained smile. The habit of drooling was something you had already used to upset Jenson, who claimed that it was a lie and that he had never drooled in his life. However, his denial didn't make you stop your jokes.
Rubbing your eyes, you stood up carefully, making your way to the stairs slowly, evaluating the way the sun entered the rooms and illuminated the spaces.
β€œNo wonder John loved this place”, you thought to yourself, as you passed through the dining room towards the kitchen.
As you expected, there was nothing in the cupboards or refrigerator, something that seemed obvious considering the house had been empty for six months. However, at the same time as you could feel your stomach growl, you didn't feel comfortable with the idea of leaving Jenson there, especially after what he had said to you during the cold bath you had given him.
Jenson had mentioned that he was afraid of being alone and that he didn't want that for his own life. However, inside the bathroom, the driver said that no one wanted him around because he was sad, going so far as to say that he was pathetic for that. As you approached one of the windows, you pursed your lips tightly as you remembered the way he had said those words, as well as the pain that permeated them.
At that moment, you didn't know what to say to him, limiting yourself to putting him under the cold spray of the shower. However, the answer didn't come with a night's sleep, much less with a walk around the house or long minutes of contemplation of the Mediterranean that stretched blue and infinite between the trees. You knew it shouldn't be so difficult, that you could limit yourself to a few words of comfort and a hug, but it didn't seem like much.
β€” Good morning β€” you heard someone say behind you. When you turned around, you found Jenson standing in the middle of the room, his hair completely messed up as he rubbed his eyes.
β€” Good morning, Jense. Did you remember that underwear exists? β€” you gave a little smile. Looking down, the driver assessed his own underwear for a few seconds before looking back at you.
β€” I thought I should redeem myself after what happened yesterday. In fact, I apologize for β€” he hesitated for a few seconds β€” Everything.
β€” I appreciate your intention, but you don't need to apologize for yesterday.
β€” But I…
β€” It's alright. These are things that friends do.
A smile appeared on Jenson's face, but something told you he wasn't entirely sincere.
β€” Have you done this for other friends of yours?
β€” To some. You're not the only one I know who likes to drink, Jense.
β€” Lucky them to have you β€” he said, running a hand through his hair β€” And me too.
β€” Yeah, lucky you too.
The silence lasted for a few seconds until Jenson let out a sigh.
β€” Is there anything to eat in this house?
β€” I didn't find anything.
β€” I think Natasha cleaned the kitchen that day β€” he murmured, placing his hands on his hips β€” Do you want to go for coffee?
β€” In your house?
β€” Yeah, I guess β€” Jenson replied, with a little smile β€” I'm going to get dressed and we go, okay?
β€” Okay β€” you said, crossing your arms as he turned around and headed for the stairs.
You headed to Monaco in your rented MINI, navigating the tight, winding streets at a leisurely pace. This was clearly not something Jenson was used to, considering he was shaking his leg non-stop. However, you preferred to remain silent, trying not to get lost in the tiny entrances spread across the city.
You finally spoke up as you parked in front of the building, a white structure neatly placed against the hill that squeezed the city against the sea.
β€” We’re here β€” you smiled.
β€” Yes, we're here β€” Jenson murmured, without much excitement.
β€” Let's go up?
He hesitated for a few seconds.
β€” I don't know if it's a good idea.
You raised an eyebrow.
β€” Jense, you live there.
β€” But I don't know if I can...
β€” Why couldn't you go up to your apartment?
Passing a hand over his face, he merely muttered a swear word before exiting the car with heavy steps. You followed him in silence, particularly confused. Greeting the doorman, you walked down the hall to the elevator, which opened its doors promptly. Inside the metal cubicle, you could see the tension in the way Jenson clenched his jaw.
Tension that dissipated when he opened the apartment door and found that the place was empty.
β€” Thank God β€” he murmured, running his fingers through his hair.
β€” For what? β€” you questioned him.
β€” What?
β€” Thank God for what, Jense? β€” you repeated, seriously β€” What happened? Does it have something to do with what happened yesterday?
β€” Y/N…
β€” I know this is a complicated time, but I need you to trust me. You know I'm here to help you, it's always been like this, Jense.
β€” I know…
β€” So tell me. Tell me what happened and I will help you.
Jenson walked to the sofa, laying down between the pillows with oriental prints.
β€” It's complicated, Y/N...
β€” How complicated?
β€” Complicated in the sense that you can't fix it β€” Jenson replied, looking impatient β€” In fact, I don't even think I can do that...
β€” Tell me, for fuck’s sake! β€” you shouted, irritated by that damn suspense he was making.
β€” Jessica broke up with me! β€” he returned in a scream that seemed to carry all his anger and sadness β€” And before you ask, it wasn't friendly or anything like that.
You stared at Jenson for long seconds, carefully thinking about your next words. Something told you to try to talk to him to better understand the situation, perhaps even to orchestrate a reconciliation, however, you remembered something he had said the night before.
β€” Was she the one who said you were pathetic? That no one wants you around?
The question hit him in a sensitive spot, his blue eyes filling with tears. Upon seeing that reaction from the driver, you didn't hesitate to put yourself in the space between his legs and hug him tightly, his head against your stomach. Jessica had said that to him and, in a way, it filled you with anger.
Jenson wasn't pathetic, much less someone nobody wanted around. In fact, there were days that you just wanted him to be close to you, making you smile with his good-natured comments about trivial things. In your view, Jenson was like the sun, brightening even the grayest of British days. And he didn't deserve to be erased, especially by someone who didn't appreciate him the same way you did.
β€” You know it's a lie, Jense...
β€” But I can't stop crying β€” he murmured against her body β€” I don't feel like I used to, I just feel...
β€” Sad?
β€” I miss him β€” Jenson replied, looking up at you β€” I miss him all the time...
β€” This is normal…
β€” Not for Jessica. She doesn't want a guy like that, who keeps crying all the time, sad, missing his own father. She wants the happy guy that likes to party, have fun and stuff...
β€” But I don't want to β€” you murmured.
Suddenly, he raised his head, looking startled by his response.
β€” No?
β€” I want Jenson. And know that, whoever truly loves you, will always be by your side, no matter if you're happy or sad β€” you said, running a hand through his hair.
The driver gave you a small smile before hugging you again, his head against your belly. The scene could even seem romantic, considering the stunning view from the apartment and his almost intimate touch on your waist. However, any suggestion went out the window when you heard an uninteresting sound.
β€” I think you're hungry β€” Jenson murmured, looking up at you. The comment made you laugh.
β€” I came here because someone promised me breakfast β€” you replied.
β€” Well, if you insist β€” he said, letting go of you and getting up from the sofa.
The meal preparation was simple, with some scrambled eggs, toast and a cup of coffee each, courtesy of Jenson's inability to make anything more elaborate. Sitting at the kitchen counter, you were eating practically in silence when the driver broke the silence.
β€” Thank you for finding me yesterday.
β€” Oh, there’s no need to β€” you replied, taking another sip of your coffee.
β€” I need to, Y/N. I don't even remember how I ended up there without using a car, especially with that horrible whiskey.
β€” Yesterday you said it was great β€” you laughed.
β€” So you could see that I wasn't doing well β€” he replied, bursting into laughter along with you.
When the laughter stopped, you looked at each other for a few seconds.
β€” Any problem?
β€” None, I just remembered something my father said β€” Jenson replied.
β€” About what?
β€” About Jessica.
You rolled your eyes, picking up your coffee cup.
β€” Are you going to talk about her again, Jense? β€” you questioned, punctuating the sentence with a sip.
β€” No, it's just β€” he said quickly, hesitating a few seconds before continuing β€” He had told me once that she wasn't the right woman for me.
β€” When?
Jenson poked the scrambled eggs with his fork, somewhat disinterested.
β€” I think it was after I went to McLaren. It was a conversation we had after an argument I had with her. And he said that Jessica wasn't the woman for me and that there was no point in insisting on that relationship.
β€” No?
β€” β€œIt’s a waste of time to continue with this girl, she doesn’t care about you”, he told me β€” he continued β€” But I didn’t listen. I thought it was nonsense of him, but he kept talking...
β€” Talking?
β€” That the perfect woman was right under my nose and that I was ignoring her.
You raised an eyebrow.
β€” And you were?
β€” I like to think not, but β€” Jenson hesitated, looking at you β€” I think he was right. Again.
You just smiled.
β€” John always had a good eye for these things. Especially when it came to you.
It was the driver's turn to smile, without saying a word. And in a way, it didn't need to. John knew his son like no one else, and if he said something was better for Jenson's life or career, he was almost always right. β€œMaybe that’s why he misses John so much”, you thought, turning your attention back to your plate.
After finishing your meal, you helped Jenson with organizing the kitchen, before checking the time and realizing that you were quite late.
β€” I need to go β€” you murmured, heading towards the door.
β€” Do you have any engagements?
β€” I have to pack my bags at the hotel.
β€” I thought you had them at the car β€” the driver said, with a small smile at the corner of his mouth.
β€” No, they're in Nice. I had gone to visit a friend here when I stopped by John's house and, well, everything happened β€” you explained β€” But now I can't stay, my flight leaves in the early afternoon.
β€” Where are you going?
β€” London.
Jenson pouted.
β€” What a shame, I thought youI would take the opportunity to make a stopover in Ibiza.
β€” No, I need a guide to the best parties and he's not available at the moment β€” you returned, in the acid tone that you knew disarmed him every time. And just as you expected, he laughed.
β€” In fact. So, I guess I'll see you later.
β€” Yes, you have to be in Woking in a week.
β€” Thank you for reminding me β€” he said, approaching you for a goodbye hug β€” Have a good trip.
β€” Thanks.
You were arranging your bag on your shoulder when Jenson said your name.
β€” Yeah? β€” you said, looking back.
β€” My father was talking about you.
A hot wave rose to your cheeks, your hand tightening on the door handle. Your heart was pounding inside your chest, almost as if it had suddenly come back to life.
β€” I imagined β€” you managed to say, before leaving the apartment.

How would Littlebug react to characters like Doofenshmirtz? Or Jack Fenton?
(In Doofenschmirtz's living room...)
(Doofenschmirtz and Littlebug are having tea.)
Doofenschmirtz: …all that to say, I am kind of off the market for an arch nemesis, though I do appreciate the offer! But I promised Perry the Platypus that I wouldn't take on another arch nemesis and then I promised my daughter, Vanessa, that I would stop my acts of villainy after she made me see that it wasn't actually healthy or what I really wanted in life. And now I'm helping out at OWCA, supporting my daughter, and sharing my non-evil inventions meant to help the world instead of trying to settle petty grudges. So I am sorry, but I hope we can still be occasional rivals or maybe allies?
Littlebug: (Confused)
Littlebug: (Looks down at List)
Littlebug: (Looks up at Doofenschmirtz and points to name on the List)
Doofenschmirtz: (Looks at the name) Oh! I see where the mixup is! I'm Dr. Doofenschmirtz! Mr. Doofenschmirtz is actually my father!
Littlebug: (Tilts head)
Doofenschmirtz: Well you see, a lot of my villainy has been related to my backstory…backstories. You see, back when I was…
(15 Minutes later.)
Doofenschmirtz: (Still going)
Littlebug: (Eye twitching)
Doofenschmirtz: And then there was the time I was shamed for not jumping off the high diving board andβ€”wait, where are you going?
Littlebug: (Leaves)
Doofenschmirtz: Okay! Well feel free to drop by again sometime! What a strange girl.
(Suddenly, Perry the Platypus bursts in.)
Doofenschmirtz: Perry the Platypus! I'm not evil anymore! What are you doing coming in through my window?
Perry: (Chitters and pulls up a screen showing Littlebug)
Doffenschmirtz: Oh, the little living doll thing. Yes, she just left.
Perry: (Looks around warily and chitters)
Doof: What? No! She was perfectly nice!
Perry: (Gestures to Doof)
Doof: Oh, it turned out she actually wasn't looking for me, she was looking for my father.
Perry: (Worried)
Doof: What? What harm could she do?
TV Announcer: This just in! An attack in Gimmelshtump as an elderly citizen is being dangled from a rope off the condemned diving board at the old community pool.
Doof: (Eyes widen) …oh.
-----------------------
(In another universe, in the Fenton household...)
Jack: (Going to the kitchen when he sees a piece of fudge on the floor) Floor fudge!
(As he picks up the fudge, he notices another piece on the floor and proceeds to pick that up as well.)
(Then he notices another piece.)
(And another.)
(He follows the trail of fudge all the way into the basement and leading to the Fenton Stockades.)
Jack: And that's the last piece! (Picks up the piece inside the Fenton Stockades)
(The door slams shut on him, trapping him in the Fenton Stockades.)
Jack: HEY! Who's there?! Let me out!
Littlebug: (Nods resolutely and marks Jack Fenton's name off The List and starts to leave the Lab)
Voice: Ahem?
Littlebug: (Turns)
(Danny is standing there.)
Danny: You're not another ghost sent by Vlad to kill my dad, are you?
Littlebug: (Shakes her head and shows him her Bad Dad List)
Danny: Why is my dad on this list?!
Littlebug: (Gestures to the Fenton Stockades with a flat look)
Danny: Okay, I know that looks bad. But he's a good dad, really!
Littlebug: (Frown)
Danny: Look, I know he's fought me, but that's only because he doesn't know I'm half-ghost. And the times he found out, he was pretty supportive. I mean, there were situations going on at the time, so we didn't really get to talk it out, but he still seemed to care about me. Even in an alternate reality where I accidentally erased my existence.
Littlebug: (Uncertain)
Danny: If you want to look for bad dads, you should see Vlad Masters. He keeps wanting to kill my dad, marry my mom, and make me his son like some sort of twisted setup of Hamlet.
Littlebug: (Eyes widen)
Danny: So yeah, there are already enough plots against my dad, so I'd really appreciate if youβ€”wait, where are you going?
Littlebug: (Holds up The List, now with Jack Fenton scribbled out and "Vlad Masters" written in on it)
Danny: ....you know what? Have fun.
(They leave.)
...
...
Jack: Hello? Anyone?

She saw an opportunity
Tumblr media
Short story!!
@tmntaucompetition @littlemissartemisia
Prev || Next
Claire was getting sick and tired of it all. Chasing after a little science lab brat like Artemisia was proving to be more difficult than she'd first expected it to be. The annoying little kid could dimension hop, and Claire was becoming exhausted trying to keep up with her. She kept leaping from one universe to the other, one world after the next. Claire kept after her, but Misa always seemed one step ahead. And even beyond that, she made allies everywhere she went! She had every advantage, meanwhile Claire felt shortchanged at every turn.
And now this whole competition. Claire had hoped that something like this would be easier for her. She'd had a look around, and this dimension or whatever it was seemed different than the others -- it wasn't a full world like the rest, it appeared that there was only the compound and arena, nothing more and nothing beyond. There were no windows, no exits, just a series of halls and corridors and lanes and stadiums that looped in on each other and curved back to the start. There were some apartment rooms you could access, but even those seemed closed off from the outside. Claire had a sneaking suspicion that there was no "outside". Good, that would make escape difficult for the little mutant, and capturing her would only be a matter of time. She was already past her deadline, and the hunt for her lost experiment was bordering on obsession by this point. She was exhausted, tired, the light was slowly going out. It felt hopeless. But she couldn't give up now, not when she was so close! She'd donned a disguise to hide her face at first, hoping that would help. Sure, the bird mask and hooded cloak were a bit shady, but Claire loved the dramatics. Of course, most people refused to help someone who looked like they were cosplaying the guy from the neighborhood watch sign. Most folks turned her away, some redirected her on wild goose chases, one even tricked her into getting gassed with hallucinogens that made her see her worst fears! She'd eventually (and reluctantly) given the disguise up, and tried again. Still, he failed. Over and over and over and over again. And again. And again. This was getting ridiculous. She would never... find... her?
No way.
No WAY!!
It was her! That irritating little mutant was standing right over THERE, along with several other mutant turtle tots, and one grown one that was talking angrily on the phone while the children played behind him. It couldn't be this easy... could it? Claire snuck closer and closer to the group. She hid behind pillars, watching them carefully. There was a chubby child that kept hugging a slider turtle, and a very messy turtle that seemed the same age as Misa, who was playing with splattered ketchup and potatoes on the floor. Artemisia was dancing after a butterfly that had distracted her, chasing it around the group and slowly distancing from them as she went after it. The teenager in purple turned his back to them all.
It was now or never.
Claire rushed forwards, grabbed Misa, and dashed away.
The little girl started screaming and crying in her arms, kicking furiously as Claire made her escape. With one arm, she pressed her into her chest; with the other she held her head in place. She wasn't going to get bitten again, she'd learned her lesson from before... The children immediately started crying, the fat one sobbing and scrambling closer to the grownup, catching his attention. The messy one was stunned for a moment, confused as to what had happened. The third immediately gave chase.
"MISA!!!" he shouted, running after Claire as fast as he could.
She turned her head to watch as the kid sped up behind her. Dang, he was fast! He couldn't be any older than 7, maybe even younger! But he ran like the wind, jumping up and pouncing on her back. Claire was knocked to the ground, poor Misa was pinned beneath her.
"Get off of me!" Claire yelled, slapping behind her as she tried to stand up.
"LET GO OF MY SISTER!!" Leo screamed, punching and kicking and slapping and clawing at Claire, even pulling her hair as he fought against her.
Misa managed to crawl out from under her chest, crying and screeching as she ran back to the others. Leon continued his assaults, doing as much damage as a six year old could do, scratching and swiping at her and shouting as loudly as he could. Claire kicked him in the back, scrambling out from under him and letting him fall to the floor behind her as she ran away before the grown up could come after her, too. They were more concerned with Misa and Leo, checking them to see if they were terribly injured.
Claire kept going until she was certain they weren't following her. She darted behind a corner and stopped to catch her breath. This was intolerable! How was she expected to get that atrocious little turtle mutant back if she was constantly outnumbered and surrounded by other mutants?! This was impossible! She couldn't even fight against a tot! How was she supposed to do this?
"Perhaps I can help."
Claire whirled around, looking for where the ominous voice had come from. She couldn't see anyone. She felt something tapping against her foot. Looking down, she saw a disembodied hand, the same one that had spored her before. She screamed, and stomped her foot onto it, hoping to destroy whatever demonic thing it was. It vanished beneath her heel.
"Please, there's no need for such emotional reactions," the Hand.PNG said as it crawled out from a shadow behind her. "I simply wanted to offer my services."
"What... what are you?" Claire asked, stepping away skeptically.
"A prompter, if you will. My purpose is to drive the story forwards. In this instance, YOUR story."
"And how would you expect to do that?"
"Simple. How would you like to recapture not only Artemisia, but four extra turtle specimens?"
"How am I supposed to do that when I can't even catch one turtle tot?"
"Patience, dear one. I have a plan. You will have an ally soon, I simply need to change his perspective... as for you, you must contact your 'associate' and invite him to come here, he will be integral to the plan."
Claire glanced back at the hall she'd just run down, as if she could look back and see the turtle she'd lost again through the crowds. She would do practically anything to get her back, and these scratches across her arms and back and the rips in her fading hair were proof of this.
"...Am I to understand that you are promising to capture Artemisa for me?"
"Oh, heavens no, I wouldn't ever dream of doing such a thing! But I can tell you how it can be accomplished. This is your story, not mine. And you won't get just one, you'll get them all."
"I don't need them all, I just want the one."
"Understandable, but what would you do if Misa were to escape again? Who would you use for your studies and experiments? And in any case, if they should be caught together she will be far less likely to leave them. It would be better for you to take them all, wouldn't you agree?"
Claire grinned wide.
"What did you have in mind?"

reallyyyy lazy ref on my new atp soldat :D
a flee response as atp soldat oc lmao. Man with fastest reaction (enough to catch falling colleague before they break their bones, or pull them away from bullets. He does it quite often.) Feel free to doodle my guy or draw them interacting with your ocs i guess. more info:
a nervous touchy animal who'll just run away if he is being yelled at or insulted too hard (being yelled at by allies and superiors feels much worse for guy than any loud noise or gunfire. poor thing) And even breaks windows to jump away from any height and floor. He really doesn't care and ABSOLUTELY ain't afraid of height. Luckily manages to survive. Fucking gymnast-acrobat. But how annoying he is. TO WORK WITH. You just stand close. sneeze at him not gently enough and HE DISAPPEARS. He gets along with colleagues pretty well... Well, by my AAHW metrics. He isn't popular or favorite, but he gets along with others pretty well and nobody avoids him. He is seen as very non-threating and weak. Or cute. However they call it. He is also pretty tactile (may occasionally try to hold hands or hug someone) and gentle in general, friendly fella. Gets along with mags pretty well and tried to comfort one when saw first time. Extremely good at chasing. Somehow manages to bounce around busy roadways and not become a pancake in the road, getting in windows, getting out, survive and not die on missions. Can do tricks on bicycles cooler than many bikers on motorcycles and usually steals any transport of that kind (but gentle enough to put it back after using). Very expercienced as someone who is being chased. Flee just runs out of AAHW casually without even any plan if triggered, breaks any shit on his way on impulse. And then gets back because Flee doesn't really know how he would survive, doesn't have a plan, and really don't want to leave job. Or, well, gets captured by agents and not even getting so far. His hair was torn out by other soldat who tried to capture him at first attempt to run away, but got kicked (Dan). They're becoming bffs later. Why he got such a weird reaction? Well. In my au every atp gets +- unique programs and modifications which makes them extremely mentally ill useful in different ways lol. ATPs gets their brain messed up and minmaxed in worst and unnatural ways, that's why many scared of it. Amnesia also isn't a good part. Flee was created in AAHW, and his modification ruined his fear-response, too much training created steel reflexes like unavoidable instincts, and messed ability to recognize threats. Guy is very fearless about combats, heights, insane tricks, absolutely doesn't care about risks of breaking any bone or dying (still will do a lot so colleagues won't), but will shit himself from fear and overwhelm if you just say smth mean to him loudly. If it would be done by few grunts he will get nightmares and flashbacks even. Because his sense of being punished and shame is also messed up. For the good of AAHW, of course. At first he was threatened and insulted a lot for this defect, because everyone was confused, then he was used on a trainings because damn he's like a cockroach. And then he was given a little safe place to run in it and not just out of aahw on the streets. aka personal space lmao, until they find out to fix it. But many coworkers find doing little pranks and scaring him funnier because the reaction is just too funny with all that jumping on highest surface in room, or running on all walls and then comedically hit head and FALL. Aaand he doesn't beat them up for it, he just runs as first reaction. Can even bump right into the agent who did it, like an NPC trying to run in a wall, pushing the poor guy like a fucking box in a videogame. Extremely funny idiot. So yeah he gets a lot of occasional jokes for not being aggressive enough. Not to coworkers. :D
