Friends With Benefits (Jeff Wittek Imagine) Part 6
Summary: Jeff and Y/N have been hooking up for a while. The whole vlog squad assumes they’re dating and Y/N does too but Jeff doesn’t like labels. He eventually starts to express interest in Natalie.
Note: Planning on making this a multiple part series, depending on how good it does.  You’re 21 & Latina in this (maybe) series. Also, I’d like to apologize for the typos, if there are any. I’m just illiterate lmao.  
-I’d also like to say that I am SO sorry about not updating the series in 8 months. I started writing this the week school started last semester. I attempted to do it during Thanksgiving & Christmas break but I didn’t have the energy to do it. I know that we’re all struggling in quarantine and going through withdrawal because David has only 1 video in almost 2 months. I’m going to *TRY* to update this 2 times a week.
Warnings! Pregnancy, smut, nsfw, 18+
Don't read this if you don't like smut
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Word Count: 1.5k
You and David have practically been dating soon after the gender reveal and finally made it official but you don’t plan to announce it on social media anytime soon. He’s been helping you a lot. Since you’ve found out you were having twin girls, you went straight to planning on how the nursery would look like. Everytime David comes over, he brings stuff like baby toys, clothes, the whole shabang. I know that David isn’t the father but he’s very excited about the babies. You thought your first trimester was difficult and it was but there’s a big problem when in the second trimester…. You’ve become horny 24/7; before pregnancy, you had sex often and you loved it. But since being pregnant, you’ve been deprived of it! You bought a bunch of dildos and vibrators cause you just couldn’t handle it anymore. You would rub yourself, fuck yourself with the dildo or use the vibrator several times just to get through the day.
Texting Kylie:
Y/n: “why didn’t you tell me the second trimester makes you super horny”
Kylie: “GIRL STOOOP. Looking back on my pregnancy, that was the funniest part. Your hormones are just all over the place. I used toys and it helped but I also was with Travis”
Y/n: “I’ve been using them but it doesn’t feel the same as actually fucking someone.”
Kylie: “Why don’t you ask David? ;)”
Y/n: “Whaaat noo! I can’t”
Kylie: “Why not? Isn’t he your boyfriend? It’s not like he would turn you down and plus, it’s not like you can get more pregnant than you already are.”
Y/n: “I mean true but idk. I just feel weird. I’m fat and pregnant with twins. I love my girls already but why couldn’t they just be one baby”
Kylie: “blame Jeff’s super sperm”
Y/n: “I also blame myself. We were fucking all the time, anytime, anywhere”
Kylie: “Anywhere?”
Y/n: “Yeah… remember Zane’s earthquake challenge video at target? Jeff and I may have had a quickie in one of the dressing rooms…”
Kylie: “What the fuck”
Y/n: “Yeah. I know. Not my proudest moment”
Kylie: “but girl i’m serious, ASK DAVID”
Y/N: “Ugh fine. But if he says no, I’m moving away and changing my identity because this shit is embarrassing”
*On the phone with David*
Y/n: “Heyy, can I come over?”
David: “Yeah, of course. Are you okay?
Y/n: “Well… technically yes but… ummm…. I’d rather just discuss this in person”
David: “Sure”
*Y/n arrives at David’s house*
Y/n: *Gives David a quick kiss* “Hey Dave.” David: “Hey babe. You sounded a little weird on the phone.” Y/n: “I mean you’re not wrong… I just have a little tiny problem and I’m going to lose my mind if it isn’t resolved” David: “what’s the problem?” Y/n: “Ugh this is so awkward I don’t want to ask” David: *David wheeze laugh* “Dude just tell me”, Y/n: “Okay umm… i’msuperfuckinghornyandi’mwonderingifyoucanhavesexwithmeifnoticompletelyunderstand.” David: “Can you please say it slower cause I only understood like 2 words.” Y/n: “I said that I’m super fucking horny and I’m wondering if you can have sex with me if not, I completely understand…” David: “Like, how bad is it?” Y/n: “Ooo boy it’s baaad.” David: “Well, we’re technically together and I wasn’t sure if you were thinking about taking that step because you’re pregnant.” Y/n: “I’m open to ANYTHING rn. I just need to be fucked HARD.”
David: *Grabs y/n’s hand and leads her to his room* Y/n: “Is Natalie home? I don’t want her to hear us.” David: “Don’t worry. She’s at Todd’s.” Y/n: “At Todd’s?” David: “Yeah, Todd had a thing for her before Jeff did and he basically went for Natalie when Todd told him that he was going to ask her out.” Y/n: *pulls in David for a needy kiss and moans* David: “wow you really are horny.” *Pushes y/n on the bed and takes off her shirt* Y/n: *unclips her bra* “Do anything that’ll make me cum please.” David: *looks at y/n’s tits and sucks on the right nipple* “Wow. Your tits have gotten… wow.” You cry out in pleasure, letting your head fall back, your mouth open. They were so sensitive that every twirl of his tongue made your pussy even more wet. Y/n: *smirks* “You’ve noticed?” David: “okay... I may have had wet dreams about you.” Y/n: “good.” David: *gets undressed and pulls off your pants* “you have no idea how much I’ve dreamt about eating you out.” Y/n: “please. Do something.” David: *His fingers reach your clit.”  Y/n: *You gasp at the feeling of him pressing down on your clit* “mmmm oh my god. Please suck on my clit.” David: *David twirls his tongue around your clit and fingers you* “babe you’re so wet. I can’t wait to fuck you sensless.” *David sucks your clit and fingers you faster* Y/n: “please don’t stop. I NEED to cum.” David: *feels her walls pulsate and she squirts on him* Y/n: “oh my god. Please make me cum like that 10 more times tonight.” David: “are you sure you want to do this?” Y/n: “I haven’t been this sure about something in a long time.” David: *aligns himself with your center and slowly thrusted into you.*  Y/n: *moans, almost screams* “holy fuck. I know your going slow not to hurt me but Dave, I want you to fuck me until I can’t walk.” David: *he hears you out and the lust took over and started pounding into you fast and hard* Y/n: “DAVID OH MY GOD PLEASE KEEP FUCKING ME I’M SO CLOSE.” David: “Shit I’m close too babe” *pounds y/n as fast as he can and cums inside her.” Y/n: *cums right after* “oh...my…” David: *pulls out and sees his cums drip out* “Damn. I don’t think I’ve ever cummed that hard.” Y/n: “If you keep fucking me like that, it’s going to be hard for me to keep my hands off you haha.” David: “I would not have a problem w/ that at all.”
(it’s getting close to thanksgiving and Jeff decides to fly home to Staten Island early and the only people who kind of know about the situation are his siblings)
Jeff: “Hey ma.” Jeff’s mom: “Hello Jeffrey. Natalie couldn’t come?” Jeff: “yeah no. We’re kind of on a break rn.” Jeff’s mom: “Oh well that's too bad. Hopefully she’ll come for Christmas.” Karyn (Jeff’s older sister): “hey Jeff. Can you help me out w/ shopping? I have to go to Manhattan” Jeff: “Sure.”
*On the Staten Island Ferry*  
Karyn: “Okay so now that we’re alone, can you actually tell me what the fuck did you do.” Jeff: “Excuse me? The fuck you talking about?” Karyn: “I know that made up bullshit about y/n getting knocked up by a rando and Natalie asking for a break is a damn lie. Y/n was in love w/ you but you ignored all the signs and Natalie, she would only ask for a break if you were being a fucking idiot. I’m your older sister. I know when you’re lying.” Jeff: “Ugh fine… Y/n is knocked up w/ my kids and I basically said some horrible stuff that wasn’t true. As for Natalie, she was there to see me say all those horrible things and she dumped me on the spot, in front of the whole friend group…” Karyn: *stares at Jeff dumbfounded* “Excuse me did you say KIDS as in PLURAL??!” Jeff: “Yeah… She’s pregnant w/ twin girls…” Karyn: “Oh Jeffrey why the fuck did you act that way. You’re such an idiot. If mom and dad found out about this, they’d literally murder you.” Jeff: “I don’t know… I think it was because I got into something so serious less than a year after being dumped by Cierra; I panicked and I sabotaged myself. I know I’m wrong but I already fucked everything up. Everybody hates me.” Karyn: “I thought you changed Jeff when you got out of Prison.” Jeff: “What do you mean you *thought*” Karyn: “You have trouble w/ responsibility. When we were at your trial, you said you were not guilty, even when you got to prison, you still said you weren’t guilty but you were.” Jeff: “That’s different.” Karyn: “How?? You’re refusing to accept responsibility for those 2 babies. Jeff, you’re almost 30 years old. It took you 4 years after you got out to come to terms with what you did. Is it gonna take you until your 34 to realize you fucked y/n and those twin girls over? What is she gonna say when they ask for their dad huh? Sorry, daddy didn’t care about you? You either fix things with y/n ASAP or I’m gonna tell mom and dad.” Jeff: “what the fuck are you 5?! Why we gotta bring them into this?” Karyn: “so they fucking knock some sense into you Jeff and you know they are 100x worse than I am. I ain’t doin’ nothing to you rn because we’re in public. Imma give you until New Years... if you don’t tell them, then they gonna hear it from me...”
Karyn was never afraid to tell Jeff and their other brother how it is. Jeff knew that Karyn was right but he had no idea how he could possibly apologize for being a horrible human being to you. Will Jeff apologize before New Years? Will y/n forgive him?

That One London Wish
Bestfriend!Shawn.
Where Valerie doesn’t tell Shawn about her diagnosis, and he can’t help but feel heartbroken when he finds out, but like the good friend he is, he helps her get through the hard times. In the end though, he’s the only one who’s heartbroken and damaged.
WC:10k
Warnings: Blood Cancer, Blood, Angsty, Cursing.
I hope you guys enjoy reading this!
----
Valerie was diagnosed with Stage 2 blood cancer about 9 months ago. Since then, she had been getting treatment, she didn’t tell alot of people about her diagnosis, she didn’t want the extra attention, she didn’t want to be the sick person. She didn’t want special treatment from her friends just because she was cancerous. 
She was getting enough attention from her family, anyways. Valerie hated being vulnerable, she hated when people sympathized for her. She also hated when people worried about her. Shawn, her best friend, told her that people worry because they care about you and that they love you. Valerie on the other hand thought that was bullshit. She always thought that she was being vulnerable by having people worry about her. She knew some people like her family and her best friend, Shawn, would never stop worrying about her. But she still tried her best to not worry people.
That’s why she didn’t tell Shawn about her diagnosis. He wasn’t in Toronto most of the time anyways, he wouldn’t find out, he also wasn’t smart enough. She thought about telling him on multiple occasions, but always stopped herself. Shawn was going to freak out and would be on her ass 24/7 about her health. Whenever Shawn would visit home, Valerie would have to be careful around him, but it wasn’t that hard. She would let Shawn talk about his crazy, amusing life. And then whenever Shawn invited her to hangout at the bar, she would just make up an excuse, which Shawn believed for the most part.
One day, he confronted Valerie about her not wanting to hangout out with him. Shawn thought she didn’t enjoy hanging out with him anymore. He was genuinely hurt. Valerie told him that he misunderstood the situation and that she wanted to focus on her last year of University, rather than party. That was the biggest lie, and she hated lying too. When she first got diagnosed, the first question she asked was if she could still drink. The doctor said it wasn’t good for her body, and could potentially hinder with her treatment. Guess cancer drugs and tequila don’t go well together. 
She was super bummed out, she even thought that she was going to die anyways, might as well die drinking. But that wouldn’t have been fair to her family, and her little sister who looked up to her, so much. It wouldn’t have been fair to the doctors either, who were working their asses off to save her. They tried especially hard on her, she was young and a lawyer to be. Now they weren’t going to fuck with a future Judge’s life. She could sue them. Lol.  
It was March break, Valerie decided to spend those 2 weeks with her family, even though her dorm was close by, and her family basically checked on her everyday. Sleeping at her parents' house was still different. 
Valerie was also powerful, she grew up like that. Sometimes people would give her shit for being too full of herself, but she loved herself, and she wouldn’t let a person bring her down, without even knowing half of her. She had those times where she thought she wasn’t pretty enough, but she never voiced those opinions out loud. She wasn’t going to let people know about her weak points. Everyone had their bad days, that didn’t make them weak. The only thing that made them weak was saying how they feel ugly in front of people. People use that shit against you, she always thought.
She was having one of those days right now. She stood in her childhood bathroom. She made sure to lock the door, she didn’t want anyone seeing her like this. She stood in front of the big bathroom mirror, it had a half ripped Cinderella sticker at the bottom left corner. She observed herself, she saw her hair thinning. She reached for the back of her skull, she wanted to feel how thin her hair had gotten. She dragged her fingers through her hair, and in return she only got a bunch of fallen hair tangled up in her hand, they were too thin to hold onto her scalp now.
She dragged her fingers against her scalp again, only this time, she found more hair tangled up between her fingers. Valerie’s eyes started watering, “how pathetic,” she thought, but she was allowed to cry, she was allowed to feel like this. She was allowed to tear up over the fact that her luscious black hair, wasn’t so luscious anymore, it was just dry, it wasn’t shiny and thick or bouncy anymore. 
She threw out the fallen hair in the trash can, and wiped away her tears. She stood in front of the mirror again, she stared at her reflection. Valerie debated whether she should lift up her hoodie and examine her body. Her hands had a mind of their own though, they lifted up the hoodie. 
She noticed that the little belly she always called her “food baby” wasn’t there anymore. She was proud of that belly, it made her human, that belly showed the universe how she was healthy, how her body was healthy. Now, all she saw was imprints of her ribs. She had lost 11.3 pounds in the past 5 months. Now she was sobbing, pathetically, as she called it. 
She just stood there staring at herself, she doesn’t know how long, but long enough for her mother to come worrying about her. Valerie’s mother knocked on the door, asking if she was alright. Valerie found the strength to reply, and then she let go off the hoodie, letting it cover her body again, quickly rinsing her face, and heading out. 
She headed downstairs, making sure to watch her steps. She headed to the dinner table, finding her seat. Her older brother ruffled her hair, as he took a seat right beside her. Her father sitting at the head of the table, her little sister climbed into the seat that was right beside the one that was reserved for their mother. All of them ready for breakfast.
“Val, you have an appointment today at 4 with Dr. Wilson, don’t forget, okay?” Her mother said as she took a seat.
“Mom I know, I didn’t forget.”
“I’m sorry I can’t take you, work really sucks sometimes.” Her mom said apologetically.
“Mom, it’s oka-”
“It’s okay, I’ll take her. I’m gonna be free anyways,” her brother commented.
“Alex, you don’t have too, I’m still physically able to take care of myself right now. Help me when I'm not able to walk because every body part of mine has given up on me.” Valerie commented jokingly.
“Baby, don’t think like that. That won’t happen,” her father tutted.
----
She got into the car with her older brother, Alex. She was excited to spend time with her brother, her favorite person in the universe. They weren’t always close, and they had their fair share of fights, but no one understood her like her brother, not even Shawn.
“Val, don’t you fucking dare die on me. I need you there to bitch about my girlfriend,” Alex said as he took a turn and got onto the highway.
“Nah, don’t worry, your not gonna find one anyways,” she joked.
“Oh fuck you, you can’t even say that to me, the guy you’re fucking in love with has a girlfriend.”
“Okay, first of all, I am not in love with Shawn. He’s like a fucking brother to me.”
“Why the fuck are you swearing, imma tell mom,” Alex commented seriously, but jokingly. Sigh. Brothers.
“I’m gonna tell mom that you were driving over the speed limit, dumbass, what are you trying to do kill me?” she questioned jokingly.
“If I wanted to kill you, I would’ve done it a long time ago,” he replies glancing at her.
They exit the highway, driving towards the downtown area of Toronto, where most of the Cancer Research hospital’s were located. It was quiet, a comfortable silence fell over both of them. After sometime Alex spoke up.
“Val, you know I love you right?  I know this shit is fucking hard for you, and I don’t even know half the shit you go through. And I’m not always around and fuck I always tell you how your privliedged and that people listen to you cuz your have cancer and shit, but fuck I can’t even imagine my life without you. You are the one fucking person who lights up my entire week. Fuck- It really had to be you? Just don’t ever fucking die on me, I love you so much, even though I don’t say it enough.” Alex said, voice getting weak by the end.
“I know, but stop acting like Shawn,” she chuckled, “You’re the bitchy one, not the sentimental one.” She laughed, even though her eyes were watery because of her older brother’s little speech.
“Can I tell you something,” Valerie continued.
“Mhm.” Alex hummed.
“Just so it doesn’t come as a shock when the doctor says I'm even more fucked up than before, I have been feeling worse,” She says lightly, not wanting to ruin the vibe.
“Fuck you, I keep telling you not to fucking die on me, and you just say that. What a bitch.” Alex says making a joke. “But no seriously, I’m here okay. No matter what happens. But you really are a bitch for getting cancer,” he continues as he parks into the hospital parking lot.
----
Alex opens the car door for Valerie as she takes a seat on the passenger side of the car. Both Alex and Valerie more dejected than ever.They both don’t know how to react to the news that was received. 
Valerie wanted to cry, but all she got in return was that horrible feeling, when your in extreme pain but no tears come out, nothing could be worse than that feeling. She was begging for tears, no tears were miserable.
Alex on the other hand wanted to comfort his baby sister, his best friend, the strongest woman he has ever known. But he couldn’t, nothing he would say would change the fact that she was even closer to dying.
Valerie found out that the cancer had now progressed, the chemo and the drugs did nothing but make all her hair fall off. The blood cancer had now been progressed to stage 3. The doctors said that it was an abnormal growth, which they didn’t see coming. Ofcourse! She tried her hardest to keep herself together, and thank the doctors for their help. 
But now she was in the car, and finally the tears started coming in. She sobbed miserably, beside her brother. Alex pulled the car over, immediately hugging his baby sister, keeping her close to his heart. He kissed her hair, continuously repeating “I love you”s and “I here for you”s. 
“Shh. It’s gonna turn out alright in the end,” Alex whispered, as if he was reassuring himself. His eyes were watering now, too. 
Val just kept close to her brother, cherishing every single moment she had with him. It was cliche, but she was also dying. And she would only be this emotional around her brother, she would only let her older brother, her security blanket, see her like that.
“I’m dying, I don’t want to die cus’ my body is shitty. This isn’t fair. It isn’t fair to any of us.” Valerie finally spoke, breathing heavily. She couldn’t deal with this bullshit anymore. Life.
----
Alex and Val pulled up into their parent’s driveway. Both of them still deeply disappointed, but trying their hardest to turn their frowns upside down, right now though, it seemed impossible. 
Valerie walked into the house, hearing an all too familiar voice. Shawn. What was he doing here? He’s supposed to be on tour? She thought to herself. She wasn’t upset because of his arrival, just upset because of the wrong timing. 
She walked into the lounge where she saw Shawn having a conversation with her dad. Both of them too involved in the conversation that they barely noticed her. But they did. 
“VAL!!” Shawn exclaimed, jumping off the couch and walking fast to hug her. He picked her up, and turned her around, and for a second everything was okay. Only for a second, though. 
“Put me down,” her voice muffled in his shoulder, she was laughing though. She was happy, happy to see him after 2 whole months. The Iphone screen had gotten annoying now.
“I’m taking you with me tonight, and you cannot stand me up, cus’ I’ll end this friendship if you do,” Shawn said, putting her down.
“Dramatic much,” Val said as she headed towards the kitchen, grabbing some orange juice.
As she was done pouring the juice in her glass, Shawn grabbed it, before even giving her a chance to touch the glass. “I’m being serious, plus you can finally meet my girlfriend.” He babbled as he drank the juice, Val smacking him on the shoulder, for that bitch move.
“I can’t go though,” she replied, grabbing another glass to pour her juice in.
“Why?”
“Cus’ I’ve got stuff,” she said casually.
“Wow, I see. That stuff is more important than me. Not gonna lie, I’m kinda hurt,” Shawn hoped his emotional blackmail would work.
“You can’t blackmail me!” She exclaimed.
“Yes I can. It’s been years since we last met!” Shawn whined like a 4 year old child.
“Correction, 2 months. But no seriously I can’t.”
“Valerie, please. I’m like here for 3 weeks before I have to leave again.”
“We can meet up tomorrow, during the day. You are gonna get drunk tonight and forget about me anyways. And then you’re going to fuck your girl, so it’s better if we meet up tomorrow, hmm?” Valerie said as she booped Shawn’s nose and headed towards the couch.
“Okay, I promise I won’t drink and I'll spend time with you...please?” He said giving his best puppy dog eyes.
“Shawn I can’t, please. I promise we can hangout tomorrow.”
Shawn frowned, as he plopped beside Valerie. Clearly upset. She wanted to hang out with his best friend, but she couldn’t. She still had to break the horrific news to her parents. She didn’t want to, but she had too. Shawn would never understand, simply because he had no clue what was happening in her life.
Shawn got up from the couch, and headed towards the door. Valerie got up, following him, making sure he wasn’t too upset. But obviously he was, what could be more important than him? he thought. Maybe she had a boyfriend now? he thought further. Or a better friend who had now replaced him.
“Shawn, please. I promise I’ll spend the day with you tomorrow. We can have breakfast and hangout.”
Shawn huffed. Still pissed. His overthinking not helping him one bit.
“Shawn,” she grabbed his wrist, making him stop. “Atleast you can get shitfaced tonight,” she suggested, raising her eyebrows.
“Yea,” he tried to hide his smile, but Val already knew she won him over. “But don’t you dare bail on me tomorrow.” 
“K, and bring Ava and Brian with you too, it’s gonna be fun!” She squealed as she let go of his wrist. 
She stood in her porch, and watched him drive off in his jeep. Never in a million would she ever believe that the Shawn she knew was now known by millions. She kind of hated the fact that her Shawn, was now known by millions, but she was also glad. She was glad that people knew a person like Shawn. The sweetest, most loving person she has ever come across in her life.
She walked inside, going back to the T.V show she was watching. A little while later, her little sister, Olivia, sat beside her, and started watching the show with her. As time passed, her brother and father had joined them as well. 
Her father wanted to ask what happened at the doctors, because she seemed upset, but he resisted. Instead he asked his son, Alex. Alex told his father what happened, both devastated. Her father didn’t know how to react though, he was definitely upset but this news had shocked him. It seemed as if his brain shut down on him. He had to pretend he didn’t know though, in front of Valerie until her mother came anyways.
----
After a while, it seemed like minutes, but after 2 hours, Val’s mother walked through the door. She was happy, she was expecting amazing news. She wasn’t prepared for what was to come. 
She went over to her family who were all busy watching the T.V, and took a seat beside her husband, hoping to get the best possible news. “So what happened? What did they say?”
Valerie fixed her posture, grabbing the T.V remote and lowering the volume. She looked over to her mom, sadness reflecting in Valerie’s eyes. Her mother got the idea, but she still wasn’t ready for what was to come.
“Well, they said that- um- it has gotten worse,” Valerie spoke up, “And that chemo and radiation and the drugs didn’t help much.” Her little sister listened to her speak, intently.
Valerie looked over to her mother and saw the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She continued though, she wanted this to be over with. “Well, now they’ve diagnosed me with Stage 3 Lukemia, and they’ve given me more drugs and stuff, so that it could get better. But they said that there were low chances of recovery now.” She had tears in her eyes now too.
The room was eerie. Everyone too scared to speak. Everyone too busy feeling heartbreak, unfairness, disappointment, but most importantly feeling Valerie’s presence, not knowing how much longer she’d be present amongst them. No one would ever say that out loud, it would make it true, as if it wasn't already. But they were scared, even Valerie, the strongest woman anyone in her family had come across.
---
Valerie woke up from her phone buzzing on the nightstand. Shawn. He was facetiming her. Valerie answered the phone, before thinking twice. The call answered to a well dressed Shawn. 
“Oh my god, did you just wake up?” Shawn exclaimed.
“Heyy…” she replied groggily, “what can I say, I had a long night.” She tried winking at the end of her sentence.
“Holy Shit Val, we are supposed to meet in like 10 minutes, and ur princess ass just woke up.”
“Okay! Okay! I’m getting out of bed!” she gave him her best wide smile, “are you gonna pick me up?”
“Yea! I’ll be there in 20, your ass better be ready!”
“K, bye,”
She intended to get up, but she thought that 5 minutes of laying on the bed wouldn’t hurt anyone, she never meant to fall back asleep. But there she was in front of Shawn’s eyes, snoring. 
First, he thought about letting her sleep and going to lay beside her, like old times. But that thought was stolen, by the fact that Brian and his girlfriend, Ava, were waiting for the both of them. Then, he thought of a better idea. Screaming.
Valerie woke up, definitely scared, not knowing what happened, but someone was screaming, so it was definitely something bad. She rubbed her eyes, and then saw Shawn screaming.
“Shut the fuck up!” She exclaimed loudly.
He stopped, but then started again. She got out of bed and smacked his chest, hardly. And then he finally shut up.
“I thought you were supposed to be ready by now,” Shawn exclaimed.
“Can you let a girl live, for fucks sake!” she said as she headed to the bathroom.
Shawn found himself at ease, as he laid on her double bed. Her familiar scent lingering on the sheets. Rosewater. She always smelled like that, it didn’t match her outspoken personality, but Shawn always knew she was delicate like a rose, no matter how hardcore she came off. 
---
Valerie headed out the door, not forgetting to grab her 2 bottles of pills. She didn’t know how, but she had to sneak them inside her after every meal. She bid her mother a good-bye and headed towards Shawn’s Jeep. 
Ava was sitting in the passenger seat, and Brian in the back, right behind Ava. Shawn opened the back door for Val, and shut it for her when she got in.
“Hi guys!” Valerie exclaimed as she made herself comfortable in her seat.
“HEYYY!!!” Brian and Ava bursted together, Brian hugging her for a good ten seconds.
Shawn had now pulled out of Valerie’s driveway, a smile sporting on his beautiful features. Ava shifted her body, so she could look at Valerie with ease. 
“It is so nice to finally meet you. Like Shawn wouldn’t shut up about you, it got kinda annoying, no offence, but now I know why!” Ava said with a bright smile on her face.
“Really? He likes me that much?” Valerie chuckled, “But no seriously he needs to learn how to stop talking about you! I thought I was the only girl in his life.” Ava laughed at her comment.
“Well boo, now that we have each other we don’t need Shawn,” Ava exclaimed.
“Hey! That's rude. And for your information, both of your life would’ve been dry without me,” Shawn exclaimed.
“I was doing pretty well, without you, Shawnieee,” Valerie teased, Shawn frowned at her comment but smiled knowing she missed him, alot.
Before they knew it, they were at a little cafe in downtown. Valerie, Brian, and Ava headed to the little patio, that was owned by the coffee shop, some girls spotted Shawn, and he was held back. Brian and Valerie sat beside each other, while Ava sat opposite to Brian, and the seat beside her reserved for Shawn.
After a couple of minutes, Shawn came and took a seat, ordering their breakfast. All four of them busy talking. Everything seemed normal, even with a new member in their group. Valerie found out, Ava was raised in Mississauga, another town close to Toronto. They both had a lot in common, she genuinely liked Ava. 
“Val, What happened to your hair?” Brian questioned out of nowhere.
Ah Shit, she thought.
“Oh, I don’t even know, it just started to die and like I think its cus’ of the stress and stuff? I don’t know but something like that,” she tried to convince him, and Shawn who now took notice of her hair, and started examining her. Her whole body.
“You also lost a lot of weight too, everything fine?” This time Shawn questioned, voice full of worry.
“Again, Prolly cus of the finals and the stress and stuff,” Valerie replied, feeling very uncomfortable.
Shawn nodded, even though he didn’t believe her, he let go, but both Shawn and Valerie knew, Shawn was going to inspect further, later. Valerie hoped he didn’t though.
---
After eating breakfast and roaming around the streets of downtown Toronto, all four of them ended up in Shawn’s penthouse. Val was still awestrucked by his place, not believing the little boy who talked her out of losing her virginity at the age of 16, owned that big of a place. 
Shawn grabbed Ava’s windbreaker, hanging it up in the little closet beside the door, then grabbing Valerie’s adidas jacket and hanging it up as well.
“Hey pass me your bag too,” Shawn said mindlessly. Valerie already occupied in a conversation with Brian, passed her purse to Shawn without thinking twice. Oh boy.
Shawn grabbed her purse placing it on the little table placed opposite to the door, but his clumsy self dropped the purse. The contents of the purse falling out. Lipgloss. A tiny mirror. Eyelash thing -the thing that Shawn didn’t know the name of. A scrunched up receipt. And pills. 
Pills? Shawn picked up the two little bottles up. Why does she have pills? Shawn questioned quietly. He rotated one of the bottles in his hand and saw her name on it. Valerie Russo. Take 1 pill with meal each day. Was she okay? He thought further. Busulfan. Shawn quickly snapped a picture of that one bottle, not caring about the other one. He was going to search up what it was used for, before he accused her of something. For all his dumbass knew, they could’ve been vitamins.
Shawn quickly stuffed the fallen out contents in Val’s bag when he heard Brian calling out his name. He walked into the Living Room, putting on an act.  He sat opposite to Valerie, examining her. He noticed the little eye bags, and her face a little more paler than the last time he saw her. He notices her oversized hoodie, wondering what else she’s hiding under there. She looked bonier than before. 
“Let’s go swimming!” Ava said, pulling Shawn out of the dark train of thought.
I don’t feel like it, you guys go, I’m gonna hang around here.” Valerie said with an apologetic smile, though this only worried Shawn more, Wasn’t swimming her favourite thing in the world? He thought.
“Kay, Brian go with Av, I’m gonna hangout with Val for a bit,” Shawn said, in his best possible normal voice.
Brian and Ava were busy splashing each other, while Shawn was busy searching up Busulfan, the medicine he found in Valerie’s bag. He only wanted to know why she had it. Was he going behind her back? He was too confused. A little heartbroken over the fact that Valerie didn’t let Shawn know about whatever was happening in her life. But again they might just be vitamins. He hoped for the latter. 
“Busulfan is a chemotherapy drug used before a stem cell transplant to treat blood cancers. It may also be used to treat other blood-related disorders and cancers. Busulfan can be given by drip into a vein (infusion) or as tablets.” That’s the first thing he read on his phone. Shawn’s heart sinking further and further and read each word. Blood Cancer? That’s not possible right? Shawn kept asking himself. He moved his gaze from his phone to Valerie, who was too busy looking at Ava and Brian. Not paying any attention to Shawn. 
Shawn didn’t know what to say. Why couldn’t they just be vitamins. He felt as if something was stolen from right under him. Hell, it wasn’t explainable. It was so much more worse than all the heartbreaks he went through because of shitty girls.
Valerie was his person, she was always there for him, supporting him through everything and anything. Why was this happening to him? Was he going to lose Valerie? Shawn’s mind was going crazy with the overthinking.
“Shawn, want something to drink?” Valerie had asked him this question about three times and finally this time she got an answer but she was taken aback.
“There is something you’re not telling me,” Shawn declared after the five minutes of silence.
“What?” She questioned.
“You’re sick!” Shawn exclaimed loudly, Valerie startled, not expecting that.
“Shawn I don’t know what you’re talking about,” She said, scared.
“Oh fuck you and your fucking act. I saw the fucking pills in your bag. Do you fucking think I’m some 10 year old, who you can fool?” Shawn said still talking loudly, moving closer to Valerie.
“I- Shawn-” She was speechless, she really was though, she didn’t know what she was going to say, she wasn’t prepared for this moment.
“When were you going to tell me,” Shawn asked quietly this time. Heartbreak evident in his voice.
He was met with silence though, he already knew the answer though. Never.
“How long ago were you diagnosed?” Shawn questioned, throwing his head back against the back pillows of the couch, rubbing away the prickly tears that were forming in his eyes.
It was quiet for an eternity, at least it felt like it. “About 10 months,” Valerie finally spoke up, voice still quiet though.
Shawn chuckled. “Ten. Fucking. Months.” He inhaled sharply continuing, “Am I that inconsiderable?” he questioned, now definitely heartbroken.
“I was scared,” Valerie spoke, voice breaking.
“Scared of what? Of me thinking I would get cooties from you?”
“I don’t know. I was scared of you finding out.”
“Right, well guess what, I still fucking found out after nine fucking months. You kn- I- Fuck. I don’t even know what to say to you anymore. I can’t even look at you the same. I fucking trusted you, I was suppose to be your fucking bestfriend. I am the one who was supposed to be there for you. I was the one who was supposed to be the person who you came crying to. Fuck Val, I was suppose to be the first person to know, and you couldn’t even bother letting me know you were ill for ten fucking months.” Shawn’s eyes were bloodshot red by the time he stopped talking.
“No don’t you fucking say that to me. Do you fucking realise how hard it is to tell the people you love, that you are fucking dying. Shawn there were so many fucking nights when I called you, and then you answered and you were all happy, I wasn’t gonna ruin that because of my sickness. I tried so many times, I fucking tried so many times, but you fucking tell me how you are suppose to tell the one person you chose to be apart of your life, the one person you chose as your family, how was I suppose to tell my bestfriend I’m dying, that the fucking doctors have given up on me. There is nothing they can do, Shawn. It’s like they are fucking handing you your death certificate,” Valerie replied fully breaking into sobbs.
“Well guess what Val, No one is happy. You fucking tried to keep me happy and now look where I am, the saddest I have ever been in my life, not cus’ my bestfriend is dying, but because I have never felt more betrayed in my life. I trusted you more than anyone in my life, and you couldn't even be bothered.” Shawn stated, rubbing away his tears.
“Shawn-” Valerie went to touch Shawn’s arm, but he shrugged her off.
“You know, I legit have no control over my life, everything I’m supposed to do, all the decisions made about me are not taken by me. I don’t know what my management would want me to do when I go back. I have no control. But when it came to you, my fucking family, I thought I would be apart of the decison making, I thought that I would have a say, I thought I would be important. Fuck making decisons. I thought I'd be important enough to at least be told things, to know what was happening, to not be left in the dark.” Shawn said, voice quiet as ever, Valerie knew she broke him, because she never saw him like this. Not even after he broke up with his girlfriend of 2 years.
Valerie tried to hug him, knowing hugs helped him when nothing else did, but he pushed her off of him. Never in a million years did he think he’d be this hurt over a girl. A fucking girl who betrayed his trust. But it was Valerie, the girl he went through puberty with, the one he’d call at 12 am because he was nervous for his date the next day, the girl who let him copy her notes, the girl who’d call him everyday telling him about everything. Everything. Well not everything for the past 10 months, atleast.
It was quiet, both of them not knowing what to say. They had never been through this big of an argument, if you could even call this that. All you could hear were sniffles coming from the both of them, and Brian and Ava’s voices in the distant. Both of them happy as ever, not having a clue of what was going on inside.
This world is such a weird place, Shawn thought. Someone was probably having fun, like Ava and Brian, or this might be the best day in someone else’s life. Maybe they were getting married, maybe they knew their forever, even though it didn’t exist. Maybe they had a child, but they were happy. Happy. Satisfied. 
But then there was the other half, having the worst day of their life. Maybe they lost someone. Maybe they found out their significant other was cheating on them. Or maybe they found out they were losing someone, that, that the one person they loved so much was slipping right away, and they couldn’t do a single thing to help them, to stop them from slipping away. Like Shawn.
“So, what do the doctors say? Can they remove it?” Shawn questioned gently, not knowing what was to come.
Valerie inhaled sharply, deciding it was better to come clean. “I went yesterday, and… they said that, well I got diagnosed with stage 3 lukemia yesterday.” 
Shawn breathing became laboured. She really was dying wasn’t she?
“And they said, um the doctors. Yea well they said that it has been spread to other organs, and that well basically they told me that I'm dying and that they can’t do anything to help me,” Val continued.
It was quiet. Eerie quiet. Shawn was too busy thinking. Valerie hoping he would just say something. Both of them scared as fuck, though. How is a person supposed to react? Boy did they both wish this was a movie, or a nightmare. A long long nightmare. It was too scary to be true, right?
“Shawn, say something.”
Valerie was only met with silence though. She tried again.
“Shawn, please, just-”
“What do you want me to say? Congrats on dying? Or congrats over the fact that you successfully hid this from me for ten whole months,” Shawn exclaimed, raising his voice.
Valerie stayed quiet, sobbing away her pain. Shawn had never seen her like this. Weak, physically and emotionally. He had never seen her sob like that, those heartbroken sobs. And neither had he seen her this boney. If that was even the right word.
He moved closer to her, pulling her close to his chest. He rested his chin on her head. “We will figure this out. I promise. I’ll get you the best doctors in the world. I promise you are gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright and then when you’re perfectly fine, I’ll finally take you to London. And we will tour Europe together, I promise you. Just don’t give up on me, please,” Shawn said desperately, tears rolling down his cheeks.
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Shawn.”
----
It had been three weeks since Shawn found out, and for the past three weeks, Shawn tried to get in contact with the best Oncologists. He has went as far as trying to get a hold of professors at Harvard and Stanford, for the first time using his fame to get through things. Big things, atleast. He even cancelled his promo tour, Andrew was upset but right now he couldn’t possibly give less of a shit about Andrew’s pretty feelings right now.
Valerie, on the other hand was trying to stop Shawn from trying to get ahold of every doctor in existence. She could feel herself slipping away, she was starting to give up, everything became too much. A little too much. Her monthly visits to the doctor now became weekly. The doctors advised her to stop going to university. She didn’t listen to them though, until she almost fainted while going up the stairs. Walking more than a hundred metres had become a nightmare. But she pretended to be okay.
Everyone kept saying how she was so brave, but no one knew how she was slowly slipping away, well except for her brother. He noticed, but he didn’t say anything, just cracked some jokes to see a smile on her face. Shawn was too busy trying to save her life to even notice how she was worse than before, he kept calling and calling, not realizing he wasn’t getting anywhere. At some point Valerie thought, he kept “calling” because he couldn’t even look at her, forget about looking her in the eyes. 
Though, Val’s worst nightmare was coming true. All of a sudden she was just a sick girl, no more future lawyer. No more, brave, strong, or the cold-hearted bitch. She had slowly become the centre of attention, and oh how much she hated that. Why couldn’t she just be normal, why did life do her this dirty.
Her baby sister on the other hand, was quiet. Really quiet. One day, Valerie approached her, asked her why she was so quiet. She ignored Val’s existence, as if she was already dead. After a couple of days Val approached Liv, her sister, again. As she walked into her room, she saw her quietly sobbing. She asked what was wrong, but the question Liv asked was unexpected. 
“You are dying aren’t you? And I don’t get why everyone is trying to sugarcoat it… but I just want the truth,” Liv sobbed.
“You sure you can handle the truth?” Valerie questioned.
“I know I won’t be able to, but the truth is better than sugar coating the worst thing that has ever happened to you.”
“Yes, I am. At Least that's what I think, but you never know, I might be immortal,” Valerie replied winking at the end.
Olivia chuckled, for the first time in weeks probably.
Valerie layed back on her bed, “You know mom and dad, and Alex and even Shawn, they all are trying so hard to keep me alive, but I don’t know, it’s like I don’t want to be here. Like all of sudden, everything has become too much, too much for me to handle. Everyone is so busy trying to stuff pills and drugs inside me that they don’t even notice me wishing to not be here. My life has become a living nightmare.
“And I just feel like a nuclear bomb, you know. Like right now I’m a bomb threat, everyone is on high alert. Just waiting for the bomb to go off any second. And when the bomb finally goes off, I’ll have this forever impact on everyone, a negative impact. Like, you know, when you are thirty and have a guy or kids or whatever, I’ll still be haunting you, you know. It just sucks being that person. I hate being that person,” Valerie said, deep in thought, almost forgetting her 10 year sister was sitting right beside her.
“Well, when I am thirty and have a guy or kids whatever,” Liv chuckled, quoting Val, “I’m gonna remember you as the best person I’ve ever come across. Val you aren’t a bomb, you aren’t harmful, and I know you think that, but all of those people are trying hard, really hard, to keep you alive. Cus’ you are special and cus’ you mean so much to them. If you were a bomb, they would’ve let you go a long long long time ago. 
“I didn’t try talking to you, cus’ it was hard. It’s hard for me to look at you and not think if you are gonna be here a week from now. And I hate thinking that, I hate thinking that you might not be here in the morning. I hate thinking that, but I can’t help it. I can’t help but think what life would be like when you’re not here, before I go to sleep every night. And I promise myself to not think like that ever again, cus’ you’re not going anywhere, but then I wake up and see you are not you anymore, and then all those thoughts come back.” Liv finally stopped tears marking there way down her cheeks.
Valerie looked up at her sister, who was seated beside her. She pulled her to her chest, so she was now laying in Valerie’s arms. Valerie kept Liv close, knowing Liv would never forget this night, no matter how old she got. Then Val finally spoke, “Hey you know, it’s okay to think that. To think about the future. At Least you aren’t being delusional like Shawn, who is trying to get a hold of doctors who live thousands and thousands of miles away from us. It’s okay to think that, you know why,” Liv shifts her head, now having a view of her older sister’s drop dead gorgeous face, “Cus’ it’s good to know what’s to come. It’s good to think about the reality and what’s actually supposed to come when everyone else is being delusional.”
With that both of them fell asleep into their peaceful slumber, both of them getting some sleep for the first time in days.
 ----
A few more days went by, until that one Wednesday where Val woke up to her throwing up blood. Alot of blood. She didn’t know what to do or who to call, except to run to the bathroom and spilling all her blood in the toilet. She couldn’t hear or feel anything. All she heard was the sharp ringing in her ears, that was starting to cause a headache, and all she could feel was blood gushing out of her system. The sharp ringing in her ears resisting her from thinking. She knew vomiting blood was normal, but throwing up this much blood was definitely not normal.
Shawn was suppose to have breakfast with her, that Wednesday. He was patiently waiting for her in her parent’s lounge, until he got impatient and walked up to her room. He was pissed off, they were supposed to leave 10 minutes ago, he couldn’t help but be frustrated. He thought she probably wasn’t even awake, he thought about all the ways he could wake up Val, maybe pouring a bucket of water on her, he thought.
But the second he walked in, he saw an unmade bed, and heard disturbingly inhumane noise coming from the bathroom. Should he go in? He thought. He was deep in thought for about ten seconds until those voices got worse, and he decided to walk in would be the best thing to do.
As he opened the bathroom door, he saw Valerie puking blood, her hands covered in blood, and Valerie herself limp against the toilet. He headed over to Valerie flushing the toilet for her, and then rubbing her back. He held her hair for her, and then he finally saw her face, pale as ever. And that’s when he knew to call the ambulance because it was so much more complicated than normal puke.
The ambulance was here in a couple of minutes, taking Valerie and Shawn to the nearest hospital. Shawn was freaking out, It had been twenty minutes since Shawn walked in on Val, and she was still unstable. Was this finally it? Shawn thought.
As soon as the ambulance reached the hospital, Val was taken into surgery. The doctors gave very little information to Shawn, and that was only freaking him out more. While Val was in surgery, Shawn called her mom and dad, and her brother. All of them completely losing their sanity.
----
Valerie made it out of surgery, okay.  Not the best but okay. The doctors were keeping a close eye on her and so were her loved ones. After much convincing, Shawn stayed with Valerie for Friday night. He couldn’t sleep for the past two days, whenever he closed his eyes, all he saw was a Valerie covered in blood. 
He sat beside Valerie, she was asleep. But he was looking at her, intently. Even when she had wires hooked up to her, she still looked as beautiful as ever. Shawn grabbed her hand, kissing her knuckles gently. He kept telling himself, that she would make it, that she was strong, the strongest person he ever came across. But he knew that was far from the truth.
Valerie stirred as she felt something wet on her hand, opening her eyes she saw Shawn with teared up eyes. She squeezed his hand, Shawn finally noticing her. 
“Hey, sleeping beauty, you woke up at the wrong time.” Shawn commented.
“Well maybe you should stop crying and let go of my hand, then I can probably fall asleep and not wake up until the morning,” Valerie added weakly, giving him a weakened smile.
Shawn got up from his chair, and motioned for her to move over so he can lay beside her. As Shawn got into the hospital bed with her, Valerie rested her head on his built chest. They both felt them falling back in time, Shawn was leaving to tour with Taylor Swift, both of them a little scared and heartbroken, not knowing if they’d still be friends, if Shawn would forget about Valerie, if Valerie would find a better friend. The night before Shawn left for the 1989 tour, they both layed like they were laying right now. Except Shawn was more built now, and both of them were 4 years older, but both of them were still scared. That didn’t change.
“You know, Brian dumped a bucket full of ice on Alexa yesterday, and she was screaming and it was crazy. But he was super drunk, I don’t think he remembers.” Shawn said after awhile of them just laying around.
“Alexa?! Is he crazy, why her out of all the people? Does he have a death wish or something? Or does he want a rumour spread about his dick being too small?” Valerie chuckled.
“But his dick is small, so it wouldn’t be a rumour, would it?” Shawn replied with a smile on his face.
“How would you know? Mendes are you trying to tell me something?” Valerie side eyed him with a grin.
“Jesus, do you realize how hard it is to talk to you!” Shawn exclaimed.
“It’s okay, Shawnie I accept all kinds of people.” Valerie added, cheekily.
“Oh shut up. Your opinion doesn’t matter,” Shawn adds.
“Oh really? But you’re does. And ladies and gentlemen that’s what we call white privilege,” She adds, raising her right eyebrow, and giving him a glare, jokingly.
“Val, you look white too, okay! Stop trying to be different,” he said, moving a little so he’s a little more comfortable.
“Um, I don’t think so. First of all just cus’ I have a white mom, it doesn’t mean i’m white. I’m proudly Italian.”
“And what, Italians are purple? Or are they pink, or even better blue?”
“Oh shut up, you will never understand the hardships of an olive coloured girl,” Valerie replied, jokingly.
“Whatever you say, Ma’am. But still, you fucking look white,” Shawn says with an amused smile sporting on his features.
“Good boy,” Valerie says while ruffling his hair.
It got quiet after that, for a while. Both of them feeling eachother lay beside each other. They didn’t want to be emo or anything, but fuck, were they feeling alot of things right now. Shawn held her close, he didn’t know if she was going to with him tomorrow, or even the next minute. He still thought she would recover though, because that’s who she was, proving everyone wrong. Valerie wasn’t thinking though, she was at that point in her life where she was okay with dying or living. She didn’t care anymore.
“Hm, you’re making everything so hard on me,” Shawn mumbled, into her hair.
“Oh no, what did I do, what did I do to make the Shawn Mendes’ life hard,” Val joked.
“Well first off, you decided to get sick, then you decided to die on me,”
“Hey I’m not dead yet, stop trying to kill me before the movie ends,” she said, putting her hand on heart, being jokingly offended.
“Movie?”
“Yes obviously my life is a movie! Are you kidding me, I’m in bed with Shawn Mendes but we aren’t naked. That stuff only happens in movies, my friend,” she responded, patting his chest.
“So you wanna get naked with me?” Shawn questions, confused.
“Oh hell no. I already know you’re horrible in bed. I like manly men. You are just… you,” Valerie added, looking at him, smiling widely knowing she hit that one spot.
“Hey! I’m manly, correction, you like bad men. Men who give you nothing but chlamydia.”
“Whatever, but I know you’re really bad in bed,”
“How?”
“Cus’ look at you. The guys who have the most hype around them, are the worst ones.”
“Well for your information, I’m amazing in bed, some might even say mind blowing,” Shawn said cheekily.
“Whatever helps you sleep at night, kiddo,”
“Stop calling me kiddo, it’s embarrassing.”
“But I love you, so it’s fine,”
“I love you too,” Shawn says gently pecking Valerie’s forehead, both of them drifting off to sleep, soon enough.
----
Shawn woke up to Valerie peacefully sleeping on his chest. He slowly slid out of the hospital bed, making sure not to wake her up. He stood beside the bed for a good ten seconds, making sure she was still asleep. Then he headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
He headed outside, to grab a cup of coffee and a croissant, he was hungry. It was Shawn we were talking about, he was hungry all the time, he just couldn’t help it. He sat in the little coffee shop, scrolling through his phone, and replying to messages from Brian and Ava, until a group of girls approached him. 
He was about to head back to the hospital, knowing the doctors would be on rounds soon, and he didn’t want to miss on what the doctors had to say. He wanted to excuse himself, but he couldn’t. He was scared people would start calling him a bitch. It wouldn’t be the first time, but he wanted to avoid that situation.
About twenty minutes later, with the crowd only getting larger, Shawn finally headed back to the hospital. He was in a good mood. He felt as if good things were coming today. Valerie was feeling better yesterday, or so he felt, but all he hoped was for good news from the doctors.
He pressed the elevator button, he felt as if it was taking forever. He thought about how he was going to surprise Valerie with tickets to London. He had already bought them, everything was arranged, Brian and Ava were coming along too. Shawn was so excited, it was so hard for him to hold back last night. But it wasn’t confirmed last night, and then this morning Shawn had gotten a text from Andrew that everything was arranged. 
The elevator arrived, and took Shawn to the fourth floor, the ICU. He walked through the cold hallways, feeling a little sad, and disappointed seeing all these families so desperate, hoping that their family member made it. He was thankful though, Val might’ve been sick but at least she was here with him. As he reached Valerie’s room, he saw multiple doctors. Nurses blocking his view, when he tried to walk inside her room, the nurses pushed him out.
He didn’t know what was happening, it wasn’t normal, something was definitely wrong. He tried entering the room again, but was pushed out again. 
“Stop fucking touching me! And let me see her,” Shawn yelled.
“Sir please head outside. Wait outside her room until the doctors come out,” one of the nurses said, patiently.
Shawn heads outside, mumbling a couple of “fuck you’s.” He waits outside, time becoming his worst enemy. He becomes highly fidgety, not knowing what to do, or who to call. He tries pushing the worst thoughts out of his head, but he can’t help it. He can’t help but think the worse. But then his extremely tired brain reassures him. “Everything is going to be okay,” he keeps repeating like a prayer.
After about 5 minutes of living hell, not knowing what was happening to his best friend, the doctors walk out of her room. He can’t tell from their facial expressions, but he knows they are not smiling. Maybe doctors just have a poker face? He thinks. 
“Hey Shawn,” Dr. Wilson approached him. “Um, I don't know how to say this,” Shawn’s heart sinks, “But um, Valerie passed away at 10:52.” Shawn’s ears started ringing, he stopped feeling, “she had a heart failure, we tried to revive her, but it was already too late. Um- we- well we don’t know what caused the heart failure, but we will find out, after the autopsy. I’m so sorry.” With that Dr. Wilson walked away. 
Shawn just stood there, he didn’t know what to feel, he stopped thinking until he felt something wet on his hand. Tears. His tears. He zones back in, finally realising what had happened. He walked into Valerie’s room. He sees her helpless as ever, never had he ever thought he’d see her like this. He walked closer to her, gently caressing her cheek. He finally sees her, the Valerie he had grown up with. She isn’t sick anymore, she’s peaceful, as if she’s out of pain. 
He grabs the chair from the corner of the room, and brings it closer to the bed. He takes a seat and grabs her hand, he kisses her knuckles, somewhat hoping she’d wake up, like she did last night. But all he’s met with is silence. And then the waterworks start. He can’t stop the tears. They just keep coming and coming. He’s sobbing by now, but he hasn’t let go of her hand. 
“Val, we are going to London, please wake up. You can’t just walk out on me like that. Val, please, love- please wake up,” he desperately pleads, hoping this is just some kind of prank, but all he’s met with is silence.

hi hi! it me, leonie ( mariangels mun ), with my second muse luna! unlike mari who’s a total lawful good, luna is more of a mixture of chaotic good and chaotic neutral who’s very much just starting out in life because her mom’s a cray cray rich lady. more on that below, pals. feel free to leave a LIKE and i’ll come to you for plots! OR! feel free to message me on discord at ( emeravdes#9932 ) since i’m not in the gc bc i get overwhelmed very easily. thanks for coming to my ted talk & feel free to read this ridiculously long essay i’ve come up with. <3 @frostfordstart​
Tumblr media
TW: MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE
full name: luna raquel santos
nicknames: lu, lulu or raquel (but only her grandparents call her that bc they hate the fact that her parents named her luna lol)
birthday: april 30th
current age: twenty six
sexuality: bisexual, panromantic
personality (+): benevolent, adventurous, free spirited, appreciative, energetic, fun loving
personality (-): sheltered, reckless, outspoken, stubborn, envious, attention seeking
luna was born and raised in frostford to yuliana and marcos santos - both of which are of brazilian roots but their families have been living in the us for decades. her family is rich rich and it stems back for a few decades. don’t ask me how they made their fortune because i actually have no clue as of right now. we working on it.
she was the youngest child and only daughter to yuliana and marcos which meant that she was instantly their pride and joy. their princess. their doll. 
she has two older brothers - jax (32) and santiago (35) - who love their little sister to pieces and have never really been a big fan of the way their mother treats luna,
INCOMING MOMMY ISSUES
yuliana was the kind of girl that wanted to be in pageants growing up but her family never allowed her the chance because they valued education over anything that had to do with glamour despite having the money to blow on the fancy aspects. so! the moment yuliana found out that she was having a daughter, she was ECSTATIC. she could finally get to live the life of pageants that her parents robbed her of and she was thriving.
so comes my baby luna
from the moment she was born, her mother had her in fancy dresses and from the moment that she could walk, yuliana made sure that her daughter could perfect the pageant walk before she could perfect walking like a normal human being. if she did something right, she’d drown luna in affection. if she did something wrong, she’d scowl and tell her to do it again. often times this resulted in her crying - especially when she was still a toddler.
over the course of her childhood, she continued with the pageant life and slowly it became something that she lived and breath. she felt like it was the best way to connect with her mother and a part of her really did have a love for the whole ordeal. for a while. by the time she was eight, her mother essentially had the picture perfect pageant girl and she’d completely forgotten that this girl also needed love and a mother to help her through life.
but her dad? a sweetheart, a gem, the most affectionate dad that she could have ever asked for and she loves him to pieces. calls him every single day. or texts. santos fam group chat is her, marcos, jax, santiago, and her maternal grandparents. ANYWAYS! WE CONTINUE!
despite yuliana’s instance that her kids go to private school, her parents convinced her to just send her kids to public school because it would offer the kids a chance to actually get to know people around town that weren’t in their parents circle of rich idiots. this was luna’s saving grace. in school, she made genuine friendships and she finally found a sense of comfort. 
not that that lasted long because yuliana was instantly up her ass telling her that those kids from school weren’t real friends and that she had to focus on her priorities aka pageants. only pageants. always PAGEANTS. so... that’s exactly what luna did. 
can you tell that her mom is a demon yet? ‘cause we got more!
moving on to high school! things were essentially always the same. luna would go to school, live her life, make some friends but eventually she’d lose said friends because of her mom or because luna put up a wall since she knew that she’d lose them anyways. 
she was in a car accident with her older brother jax when she was sixteen which resulted in her missing a pageant which made yuliana BIG MAD. 
it was in her senior year of high school that yuliana set luna up with one of her friends sons and essentially forced her to be in a relationship with someone she had no connection w/at all. 
she dated this person for a while (again, to make her MOM happy, not herself) up until her mother started talking about getting married which was when luna was like LOL ABORT MISSION and broke up w/the dude. did she like him? sure. but she wasn’t going to get married after high school. no thanks. 
yuliana, naturally, was furious. got mad. was mad for a while. oscar the grouch mad 24/7.
THEN CAME COLLEGE! LUNA WAS FINALLY FREE! well... not really because her mother picked her school for her as well as her major; columbia university with a major in business. why? because she knew people who worked at the school that would be able to keep an eye out on her daughter. 
SOMEHOW? luna still managed to find a sense of freedom the moment she stepped foot onto campus and was away from her mother. she was studying something she hated but she finally could live a life where she didn’t feel like she had to constantly please her mother or worry about falling out of line. it felt amazing.
this was where she discovered hook ups and friends w/benefits and BOI OH BOI was she thriving!
it was in her senior year of college that she had a long talk with her grandparents about what she wanted for herself and where she saw herself going. they wanted what was best for her and that meant getting her out from their own childs clutches who only saw luna as someone to parade around. it took her a while but the words from the talk stayed with luna until she was twenty two and she finally stood up for herself and told her mother NO MAS. 
yuliana was like BITCH WHAT but luna was like YOU HEARD ME even though it was a bit less... blunt that i just made it seem. 
at twenty two, she stopped competing in pageants and went off on an adventure to europe with her grandparents. her grandparents were really only with her for a month as they settled them into a nice place in italy but after that, she was finally happy. 
she lived in italy and traveled around europe until she was twenty five which was when she moved back to frostford because she missed her grandparents, dad and older brothers. when she moved back, her grandparents helped her find a cute little home and she even got herself a red husky named kida - since she’d never been allowed to have a pet before in her life. 
her dad still gives luna anything and everything she could ever want bc we stan a man who watches out for his child but luna also wants to make a life for herself outside of her parents money so she went and got a job. it was harder than she expected but she finally was willing to get one thanks to june diaz so now she’s a waitress at the whole enchilada and has been since she got back a solid year ago. 
did i mention she’s been back one year? i feel like i should have mentioned it somewhere above but oh whale. 
her new found freedom (its new even after four years OKAY) has also left her with a bit of a reckless streak. she is, in fact, a lot to handle at times and there’s other times where she falls back into that docile behavior her mom basically morphed into her. so... yeah!
FUN FACTS!
she wanted to be a cheerleader in high school but her mother was like NOT ON MY WATCH YOUNG LADY
her very first shift working at the whole enchilada resulted in her accidentally dropping a customers food on the floor and getting yelled at which resulted in her hiding in the bathroom to cry
she’s fluent in english, portugese, italian and french
she’s a flirty drunk which means she will probs try to get w/you if she’s drunk. unless you’re taken bc she knows her boundaries and she says NO to taken men. 
anything she does regarding men is mainly to spite her mother bc she doesn’t really think she’s capable of falling in love. thanks to her mom basically making her feel worthless all her life :)
she’s a harry potter nerd and spiritually identifies as hufflepuff with slytherin tendencies even though pottermore told her 12 times that she is, in fact, a gryffindor. but she refuses to accept that. nope. not happening. 
her hair is currently dyed a lavender purple. it’s almost always lavender purple. just assume it’s that color 24/7 lol. 
CONNECTIONS!
i put together a wanted connections page for luna but it’s probs gonna get reworked like... two more times because i’m a perfectionist and am obsessed with providing too much detail. too much for my own good imma be hoe-nest. but feel free to hit me with anything! KTHNXBYELOVEYOULOTS<3

Randi
Cameron’s crying woke me up early in the morning as usual. I started to get up but Cayden mumbled, "I got him," and got up from the bed. I looked over at the clock. It was 8am. Cayden would be leaving for work soon and I'd be going to drop Cam at my moms. I was trying to slowly get back to going to work, a couple of times a week anyways. Cayden worked a normal 9-5 schedule now, the ride share app he had invested in had blown up and now he was a cowener in a big time company which kept him busy. He really loved what he was doing which made me happy. I was co-owner of 2 salons now. After almost 2 years of back and forth, a second location was up. That required me putting in more regular hours though, which meant leaving Cameron. I felt guilty about working for months after He was born, but now a year later, Cayden and Ms. Williams,my therapist, both convinced me that working was good for me and that i wasn't evil for doing so. He was 1 now and I felt better about leaving him with someone else. I wasn’t breastfeeding anymore and he didn’t need 24/7 attention. But i couldn't deny being a mom came first on my list of priorities and consumed most of my time and thoughts, and i was fine with that.
"You going into the salon today?" Cayden asked, coming back in the room with Cam. I smiled reaching out for him. Seeing him in the morning was the best part of my day because after sleeping for a few hours I missed him. His face lit up when he saw me and he giggled, bringing out his cute dimples. When I looked at him I thought about the fact that I almost missed out on this because I was set on not having kids. I also thought about everything I went through to give birth to him and the fact that I’d do it all over again.
"Good morning mommy's baby," i cooed, nuzzling his face. "Yeah, i'm going in. I have so much to do for tax season," I said.
"My mom taking him this week?" he asked. I nodded. Our parents switched who would watch him. It was perfect because they all didn't work anymore. God knows i couldn't leave Cam with strangers. Cayden took his shirt off to go shower, revealing his perfect chest, well perfect except the gunshot wound under his right peck. He leaned down to kiss me and i met him. He kissed me for a long time and Cam started crying.
"You need to get ready, and i gotta get him some food," i said. We went separate ways and went about our morning routines.
At the door Cayden gave Cameron some last cuddles then handed him to me. He kissed my forehead.
"Imma see you tonight beautiful," he said. I smiled and nodded. I watched him get in his car and go. Then i had to get Cam and myself in my car and drove to Cay's mom's house. On the way there I thought about how normal life was now, Cayden going to work in the morning, to a legit job, m dropping of our kid, and going to work. Life was so different now.
I got to the salon later in the morning and went back to my office. I sat down and immediately checked my phone. It was habit now whenever someone else was watching Cam. I checked for texts or calls about him. When i saw nothing i reluctantly got my computer on and started pulling up my files. I worked for about 2 hours before i cracked and checked grabbed my phone to call Cay's mom. She didn't answer my call and i put my phone down angrily.
"He's fine Randi," i said to myself, turning back to my computer. The separation anxiety i felt with him was hard to explain. It was different than with Cayden. When he wasn't with me i got that feeling like when you think you're forgetting something really important, but constant. It was weird not hearing him cry or laugh for so long, it put me on edge. I wasn't sure how Cayden was able to just go to work like it was nothing.
Jada came in then.
"Hey, I put all those receipts on your desk, did you see them?" She asked.
"yeah," i said with a sigh. I glanced at my phone again.
"Whats up with you?" She asked.
"It's Cameron," i said.
"Why is he sick?" she asked with a frown.
"No. But Cayden's mom won't answer my calls. I just want a picture of him so i know he's ok," i said.
"She's probably busy watching him, it's a good thing she not on her phone," she said. She had a good point. "You worry too much," she said, leaving the office. I knew i worried too much, i didnt wanna be like this. It just came with the whole mom thing.
Later a knock came at my door and i looked up. It was a delivery guy.
"Mrs. Jones?" he asked.
"yeah, thats me,"i said. He gave me the clipboard and i signed it, looking around for the package.
"Package is out front," he said. I thanked him and went out to the front desk to check what is was. China turned to look at me.
"I hate you," she said. I was confused, then i saw the huge bouquet of flowers. I smiled like an idiot, jumping up and down a little. I picked up the card.
--->To my beautiful wife, because i can't stop thinking about you. Im sure you're thinking about Cam not me but that's ok. P.S he's fine, stop worrying. From: Cay and Cam
I teared up and held the card to my chest. I loved how thoughtful Cayden could be. That gave me the motivation i needed to get through the day.
I picked Cam up around 3 and made my way back home. Cole called me on my way saying that he was coming over. He beat me home and was waiting in the drive way when i got there. He helped me get Cam out of the car.
“My little man!” He said, taking him from his car seat.
“He just put on a show on the way home, cried the whole ride. He's so tired.” We went inside.
“You on your own?” He asked.
“Yeah, Cayden still at work.”
“Damn, he really taking this CEO shit serious. You can always leave him with me if you need a break,” he said.
“I’m seriously gonna take you up on that, but anyways, so bachelor party. I have everything set, just need to know what time you want the limo.”
“Like 10 probably. I plan on being drunk by then so it don’t really matter,” he chuckled, letting Cam play with his fingers.
“Ok. I still need an outfit, I’m always scared to be out dressed by the strippers,” I said. I was gonna be the only girl at the bachelor party, I wasn’t planning on staying too long anyways, I knew I’d be missing Cameron and I wanted to let Cole hang with his buddies.
"Aint that weird? Going to a strip club with your man?" He asked, putting Cam's pacifier back in his mouth.
"Not really. Im used to it," i said, "but he doesn't even go anymore. This will be the first time he's gone since Cam was born. But why are you going to a female strip club when you don't like girls is the real question?"
"Male strip clubs aint the same," he shrugged. "Only thing is i know Ty attracted to females so that's gonna be a bit weird." I went around the kitchen making something to eat for all of us. I started cutting stuff up for a salad and warming a bottle for Cameron. Cole came to sit at the island.
"Im sure he'll behave himself," i said. "He's marrying you, so clearly he's not checking for anyone else, male or female" i assured him. He nodded.
“Did you get nervous before your wedding?” He asked. I nodded.
“Hell yeah. You know i was a mess leading up to it. I had a panic attack day of too," i laughed remembering. "You getting nervous bout it?"
"A little," he shrugged. It was odd to see Cole unsure or worried about anything. He was always so care free, go with the flow type of guy.
"It'll go away once you see him on the day," i assured him. He nodded in agreement.
"One more week to go," he said.
Tumblr media
Cayden
I was in meetings all day today which was tiring. Sometimes this job was more tiring than drug dealing, which i ever expected. I really liked doing something different though. When i thought about it, i kind of did the same thing when i was in charge of the warehouses, i handled all the business behind the dealing. Negotiated with cartels, contracted people, allocated supplies. That's pretty much what i did now, just not with drugs. I was really into the whole tech thing too, the dudes i worked with were crazy smart, inventing apps and shit.
After my meetings i went to my office to check my emails. I checked my phone too and saw the message from Randi thanking me for the flowers.
There was also a message from Keisha which I opened.  It was a photo of her son after a basketball game. Yes, i had stayed in touch with her, because that was my nephew, and the circumstances didn’t change that. Randi was all for it and we’d even have him over sometimes. So I’d see him here and there and she kept me up to date on what he was doing. I chuckled a little at his big gap smile, he looked so much like Trey it scared me at times. The more I was getting to know him the more I saw Trey in him, and that made me feel like my brother was still here.
After replying some emails I finally made my way home. It was an hour past Cameron’s bed time which meant I wouldn’t get to hang with him before he slept. I walked around downstairs and when I didn’t see Randi I went upstairs. I could hear her in the nursery. I walked over quietly and stood by the door. Randi was bouncing Cameron in her arms while he was fussing. She was so small he took up her whole torso now and he was only 1.
“Shhh, Mommy’s got you Cam ” she said softly,rubbing his back in circles. He finally got quiet and she went to put him back in his crib. She turned on the rain machine for him because he loved that shit and couldn't sleep without it. She finally turned towards the door and she jumped when she saw me, putting her hand to her chest.
“Jesus Cay, how long you been standing there?”
“Not long, but I can watch you with him all day,” i said, going up to wrap my arms around her waist.Her hair was all messed up, coming out of the bun she had, and she was wearing sweats, but she still looked fine. I looked over her head to Cam in his crib. “I tried to get home before he went to sleep," i said. I had stayed at the office later than usual.
“You just missed him. He woke up from a bad dream,” she frowned.
“I know what you’re thinking. We didn’t give him bad dreams Ran, he’s a baby, probably just wanted some attention” i could read her mind. Randi had this theory that Cameron inherited bad dreams from us because sometimes he would wake up crying or screaming. We both had a history of bad dreams so maybe it was possible but I still assured her that wasn’t the case.
“You don’t know that,” she mumbled. I tugged a piece of her hair.
"Come on, you gonna wake him up," i said, pulling her out of the room. I dragged her into our room so i could change. "I talked to Ty today, the suit is ready. Can you pick it up tomorrow for me?"
"Yeah, i have to go pick up my dress anyways," she said. "I'm so excited, I can’t believe this is finally happening" she smiled, folding her legs.
"Im just surprised neither one of them backed out yet, i thought for sure Ty would have wigged out by now," i said, taking my shirt off.
"Cole is the one I was worried about. He came over earlier, he was freaking out a little," she said, grabbing my shirt and straightening it out. "But i told him that was normal. I was loosing my shit before our wedding, but if i made it down the aisle, he can."
"True. I deadass thought you weren't gonna show up to our wedding,"i laughed remembering.
"Thought about running, my dad dragged me out of that room though," she laughed as well.
"Your ass lucky i still married you after making a nigga self conscious and shit," i mumbled. It was easy trying to lock her down. She grabbed my arm.
"I been lucky since the night you drove me home from the club," she said, referring to the first time we met. I thought back to that night and where we were now. "Even though you didn't say one word to me that whole car ride."
"I was having a bad day," i chuckled, "it wasn't personal. And i showed up to your house the next day didn't i. And day after that, and pretty much everyday after."
"You were,” she nodded. I sat down beside her and pulled her in to me. “I think that’s why I liked you. You were consistent, and I needed that,” she said like she was deep in thought. “Who would have thought back then that we'd be married and have a kid together?"
"I thought so," i said with a loud laugh. She looked at me like i was crazy. "Dead ass. I knew after that first day, that was it, you was the one. I never just wanted to be around someone all the time before,” I played with her hair.
“Why do you say all the right things?” She said softly, looking back at me.
“I also say the wrong things sometimes,” I reminded her. “You was just mad at me yesterday.”
“That’s true,” she gave me a  side eye remembering the petty argument we had gotten into. We didn’t really fight like that anymore. Having a kid together made other things seem irrelevant, and we had a different level of respect for each other now as his parents.
“You know what’s weird? Like a year ago we probably would have been sorting through duffle bags of coke right now,”I said randomly. She laughed.
“Yup, I’d be counting, estimating profits,” she shook her head, “that feels like a life time ago.”
“You was really ride or die for a nigga,” I said, “even when shit was hot,” I looked at the scar on my rib and thought about how she had taken care of me.
“I knew what I signed up for. It was hard for me after the shooting though, I can’t lie. After that day...I knew I was done. Then I got pregnant, and that just pushed me to say what had been in my mind for a long time, it was all about Cam from that moment on,” she played with my hand in hers. “Do you miss all that?”
“Nah. I was done with that part of my life. I was already starting my plan to get out before you told me, but that just made it that much more important to do it. I knew the life you wanted and I wanted to give it to you, and to our kid” I looked over her face. She nodded and we sat in silence for a little bit. After some time she looked down and put a hand to her stomach.
“Sometimes I miss having him inside of me,” she smiled. I raised a brow.
“Does that mean you ready for a second one?” I said excited, pulling her closer in to me.
“Hey don’t get excited. We talked about this, we said next year,”  she reminded me, pushing me away.
“We gotta start now if we gonna get 5 out the way before we old,” I said. She leaned back and looked at me like i was insane. I tried to kiss her and she was trying to run away.
“Cayyyyy” she complained as I planted my lips on her neck.

Cole
***a week later***
Today was the day, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. I had never been this nervous to step out on the football field, or even when I came out to my family. This was different. I knew I wanted to be with Ty forever, but it was the idea of ‘marriage’ that made it all so fucking scary.
It was funny to me because this was all Ty’s idea. He had asked me to marry him. It had crossed my mind too but I wasn’t sure he wanted all that. I was happy to just be whatever we were. Living together was the main thing I had wanted and I got that.
Our families now loved each other and we were both in good places with them. My mom and I were the closest we had ever been, which I wouldn’t have expected 3 years ago after all the family drama. But this wedding was a big part of why we came together. She wanted to be there for me and was happy to see me happy. She was helping me tie my bow tie, and crying while doing it.
“I’m really happy for you Cole” she said, “I can tell Ty is in love with you, and it’s clear you love him.”
“I do,” I said.
“All I’ve ever wanted was this for you. I know it may not always have seemed like it. I just hate that we weren’t on good terms for so long,” she wiped a tear, “when you’re my only son. I know now that I was wrong,” she said.
“I was wrong too mama. I was so angry I couldn’t put my pride aside and fix things with you,” I admitted.
“Well, that’s all in the past now. The important thing is everything is how it should be now. Just me and my baby,” she said with a smile.
“I love you mama” I said, kissing her cheek.
“I love you too baby,” she patted my cheek. “There, you look handsome as ever. That Ty is so lucky he scored you.”
“You ready to walk me down the aisle?” I asked, holding my arm out. Both of our mothers were walking us down. Ty was supposed to go first and I knew he was already there and waiting for me. That made me excited. The music started playing then and my stomach flipped.
“That’s our cue,” my mom said, opened the doors to the ceremony room.  
I could see Ty standing there on a suit, something I hadn’t seen since Cayden and Randi’s wedding, anxiously waiting. He was touching the cuffs on his shirt but then looked up and made eye contact with me. We both smiled and the nerves and anxiety melted away.
The reception was lit. We had a DJ and all our friends and family were on the dance floor. A slow song came on and Ty grabbed me to dance with him. I had been separated from him for a while talking to people.
“I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever,” he said. I smirked.
“Awe you missed me?” I said. He rolled his eyes.
“Maybe,” He said.
“Well you bout to be stuck with me for a real long time now if that makes you feel any better.”
“I still can’t believe we’re married, that’s kind of lame,” he said, looking at the ring on his hand.
“Yeah but it’s cute. We still gonna be the same so,” i shrugged.
“Yeah, I’m glad we did it. For our families too,” he looked around at the people around us and I did the same. There was a lot of people happy to see us happy, and that touched both of us since not everyone was ok with our life style. I spotted Randi then, standing just off the dance floor holding Cameron on her hip. Cayden had his arm around her. I winked at her and she winked back. Both our lives had turned around in a matter of a couple years, and we were happier than ever. It made a nigga a bit emotional. I had been at her wedding and now she was at mine, that was some movie shit.
“I hope your winking at your mother, or else I’m throwing hands,” Ty said, following my gaze. “Oh it’s Randi.”
“You jealous?” I teased.
“Y’all petty niggas deserve each other,” he said, shrugging. “The friendship still confuses me though,” he said.
“Me too. But I just know she been there for me like nobody else, other than you. She was my family when I wasn’t on good terms with mine,” I explained.
“I get that,” he nodded.
“Now i have it all, my family,my friends, and you,” i smirked. He smiled back at me and pulled me in to kiss me.We kissed like it wasn’t a room full of people.
Randi
Tumblr media
I was standing watching Cole and Ty be cute when my mom came and took Cam from me.
“You two go dance,” she said, nodding at the dance floor. Cayden took my hand and pulled me in that direction. He put his arms around my waist and I put mine over his shoulders.
“This reminds me of our first dance,” I said, grinning like a little kid. “I’m just missing the dress, and I have an extra 30 pounds on me now but other than that,” I laughed. He slipped his hands to my butt as if we weren’t in public.
“I like the way you look now,” he said, “you sexy as hell to me,” sliding his hands around to my hips, “Shit, i been thinking about taking that dress off all night,”
“Thank you Baby,” I said, “you make me feel sexy.” He really did, even when I was pregnant and blowing up, or now when my body was still not the way it used to be.
When we got home I wanted to take off my makeup and shower so Cay signed up to put Cameron to sleep. I took a quick shower and then went to peak in the nursery wondering what was taking him so long. Cayden was sitting in the rocking chair with Cameron in his lap and a book in his hands. I stood outside listening for a while and i laughed quietly at the voices he gave all the characters. Creating a human with someone changed the relationship forever. Yes i loved him even before i had his baby, but loving Cameron together on top of loving each other was a strange and powerful thing.Plus him being caring and protective was such a turn on and made me wanna give him 5 more kids. He was such a hands on dad too, which i knew he would be. When Cam was first born all I really did was breastfeed or pump, Cayden changed all the diapers, got him cleaned and dressed, and took him when I needed sleep. That’s the kind of husband and dad he was.
"Randi I know you eavesdropping" he said once he was finished the book.
"What?! how did you know?" I moved into view and then walked inside the room.
"I could hear your ass laughing," he said, "You just salty he likes my reading better."
"You are really good at story time," i smiled, sitting on his lap beside Cameron. I looked at his adorable face and took him in like i did several times a day in disbelief at how perfect he was. The best part was he now had freckles coming in slowly just like Cayden’s. I touched his cheek and then Cayden's, comparing.
"Why you not in bed?" Cayden asked.
"Well, I had to tell you something really important," i said seriously like i was gonna drop some big news. His brows came together in confusion.
"What?"
"I been wanting to say this for a while..." i said, dragging it out. "But i wasn't sure how."
"You can tell me anything," he said, rubbing my arm. I sighed then paused.
"Ok, here it goes," i said, "Cayden, i...love you" i grinned. He kissed his teeth and tried to push me off him. I laughed and grabbed on to his neck to stay on. "Babe!" i pleaded, fighting to stay on while he was pushing me.
"Why you waste my time like you was gonna say something important," he said annoyed. He was really mad. I giggled and cupped his cheek.
"Im sorry," i said. "But i really have been wanting to tell you how much i love you," i said. His face changed to a little less mad. “I know I don’t always show my appreciation for you, and I’m not good at the romantic stuff like you, but I just wanted you to know that i do thank God everyday for you. You keep me grounded, and you're my rock” I finished. His cheeks were pink which was so adorable. He hated being complimented and never knew how to respond. He closed the space between us and kissed me tenderly.
“I told you i always got you, and I love you too." Cam grabbed my shirt then and i smiled down at him and picked him up. I held him close to me and he immediately closed his eyes. I looked from him to Cayden, and then back at him and i felt everything I couldn’t years ago during the darkest period of my life. I was filled with hope, and joy, and a fierce love for life.

boyfriend! kang daniel
how you meet kang daniel and what kind of boyfriend he is
school!au
so kang daniel is your classmate, and he’s that super popular but also funny person that all the students and teachers love
daniel is always surrounded by a group of fangirls, which naturally results in malicious rumors about how he’s a fuckboy
but daniel is in your math class and he sits right in front of you
at first you kind of had your preconceived opinions about him like “oh shit he’s a fuckboy i ain’t talking to no fuckboy”
but you’ll eventually start talking to him after he forgets his pencil one day and turns around to ask you for one with a pleading smile
and then you guys begin your miraculous friendship which consists of lots of debates about dogs vs cats, and you realize how much of a loser he actually is??
like where’s mr. popular i-play-3-sports guy??
all he talks about is cats, and he always shows you pictures of his cat
you guys start texting and 90% of your texts consists of arguments 
like you’re a dog person but daniel is an aggressive cat advocate
“cats are way cuter than dogs”
“haha bET. who’s gonna be crying on your deathbed? not your goddamn cat bc that unloyal hoe is running off to find the next person to feed him”
daniel’s actually really spacey sometimes 
like once after class when everyone was packing up, his hands fly to his pockets and he digs through his backpack in panic
and you’re just like “what’s wrong??”
and then he wildly looks around and says “i lost my phone”
but he actually gave you his phone to look through his cat pic album like 5 minutes ago and totally forgot
so you just wave his phone in front of his face and give him the “are you an idiot or are you an idiot” look
and he just sheepishly laughs and scratches the back of his head in embarrassment
that’s when you realize how fucking cute his smile is
and your heart is racing a little but you give yourself a pep talk like “no i am not falling for no goddamn fuckboy”
but of course love never goes the way you want it to and suddenly you start noticing that you stopped paying attention in math and started daydreaming about daniel
and one day daniel asks you to tutor him in math since he’s failing and desperately needs to pass the next test in order to not flunk the class
but in this world it’s give and take so you’re like “what’s in it for me”
by this time daniel knows you pretty well and he’s just like “free food + starbucks every day you tutor me”
and you’re thinking like “shit he’s loaded. pls be my sugar daddy”
so you start tutoring him after school at the starbucks across the street
you realize that daniel naturally picks things up right away but that he was just too lazy to study 
50% of the time studying, other 50% arguing 
daniel feels super comfortable with you now and he really appreciates that you see him as just kang daniel not mr. popular
since you go there everyday after school, the barista knows your names and orders already 
and one day the barista goes “you guys are such a cute couple!”
and you’re too shocked to say anything but daniel immediately replies “thank you! we get that a lot” 
after you get your drink, you turn to him and say “wtf was that?? stop joking, you piece of shit” while punching him lightly
but he just laughs and you notice how his eyes crinkle and you can’t help but laugh too 
and then he whispers “but we could be a real thing if you want” and winks
you just laugh at him now bc you assume that he’s just messing around again “i hate you stfu”
but you miss the flash of disappointment in his eyes bc he was kind of testing the waters to see your hypothetical reaction
so now he’s convinced that you don’t like him and is really really disappointed ;;;
the next time you show up to class, he’s seems a little more distant
like he won’t laugh at your stupid jokes as much and you’ll be like “is something wrong,,,” and he’ll just shake his head and brush you off
and this continues for like the next few days so you know something is wrong
but you decide to leave it alone since you respect other people’s privacy (cough cough)
he’ll probably tell you when he’s ready right?
anyways at lunch you’re just chilling with your friends, minding your own business and trying to forget about daniel, but ong seongwoo comes out of nowhere and drags you to the nearest hallway 
and you’re like “woah what’s up”
and he gives you this disapproving mom look 
“did you really just reject daniel?”
“um what the fuck? where did you get this fake news from”
so ong has to explain to your oblivious ass that daniel likes you
but you’re like “um sorry no your jokes are not funny”
better being pessimistic than getting played amirite
and so he literally drags you to daniel who is sitting alone and listening to his emo playlist with his bangs over his eyes looking like a fucking member of my chemical romance or some shit bc the only girl he liked thinks he’s a joke
“tell her already jesus christ stop listening to that goddamn emo shit”
and ong leaves you two alone
you just end up staring at daniel wondering what kind of drugs he took today to end up like this
and then daniel ends up spurting some incomprehensible confession, “sorryireallylikeyouandididntknowwhattodobecauseithoughtyouhated me???”
he kind of turns red and gets embarrassed and really pouty 
but you’re just thinking of how cute he is and how much you really want to poke his cheeks
“wtf did kang daniel just say he likes me” never goes through your head bc you’re a boss ass bitch and everyone fucking loves you okay no need to act surprised
and when you don’t say anything he’s just like “i just ruined our friendship didn’t i”
“um sorry but what’s in it for me” is your response, and you give him a wink 
he immediately looks relieved and starts laughing “free hugs and cuddles and kisses from me”
and daniel is such a sweet boyfriend
like he always notices the littlest things about you and puts you before anything else
loves cuddling and back hugs!!!!
likes resting his head on the crook of your neck
nap time with dan is a thing with lots of cuddling
you wake up all the time wrapped in his arms
v protective,,, makes you walk on the inside of the sidewalk, always holds the umbrella for you, 
gets jealous sometimes and just gets all pouty before you reassure him that there’s nothing to be jealous about
kind of touchy
not afraid of pda
smells like a mix of cinnamon and vanilla
aesthetic coffee shop dates!!!
“reminds me of the place where i fell in love with you”
dogs vs cats argument is still a thing
“okay fine dogs are cute too, but you’re still the cutest” 
y’all are cute you have matching stüssy outfits (daniel’s idea)
blasts exo music 24/7
“daniel pls stop doing the kokobop challenge. we’re in public”
“choGIWA”
“chogiw—e’re breaking up”
“wait no i’m overdosed on your love!!”
biggest exo-l ever
that’s right my type is his favorite pick up line
cute mochi!!!!
like that pink peach thingy with the buck teeth is actually him
when he smiles, his buck teeth show, and it’s honestly so adorable
he wanted to get them fixed but you were like “um no?? how dare you even suggest that”
kind of insecure about his physical appearance sometimes bc of what happened in his past :(
but you assure him that he’s the sexiest mochi ball you’ve ever laid eyes on
okay but you were low key ready to get on the nearest train to busan and jump daniel’s former bullies
no but for real you were ready to clock some bitches 
“what’s their kkt babe imma bout to track them down and make them catch these fucking fists”
“aww you’re so cute :’)”
notices small things about you
buys ice cream for you when you’re sad,
knows all your favorite foods so he can bribe you make you happy :)
overall 10/10 best boyfriend ever

So How About Them New Episodes, Ammirite Ladies??
here’s what i thought of the new episodes via live reactions as i watching them!
overall, it was kinda underwhelming but there were parts that i really did like! and if you liked these episodes, that’s awesome!
MAYOR DEWEY WINS
was this title a reference to the movie/book John Dies at the End, cause if so then i’m shocked i caught that
apparently it is, would you look at that. btw i kinda liked the movie.
damn, Sadie took this hard. and Steven never told Lars’ parents. so i guess Sadie has to do that herself.
why tf does Steven care if Dewey wins?!
OH, IT’S BECAUSE HE DON’T WANT SHIT TO CHANGE AND HE THINKS HAVING A NEW MAYOR WOULD BE BAD WTF DEWEY DOES NOTHING
ok wow, there’s only 24 people in Beach City and he never noticed that Lars was gone!?
“is that why the donut shop was closed?”
“we’ll hire a new donut boy!” DEWEY. DUDE. ARE YOU FOR REAL?!
“high school mayor” lmao
how did he run unopposed for 10 years!?
LARS’ MOM KEEPS A SHITTON OF TOMATOES IN HER PURSE SHE READY TO THROW DOWN ALL THE TIME
i don’t like that Steven is so adamant on Dewey winning.
jesus, Steven, let Nanefua win. she’s obviously the better person for the job
“i’m done pointing my finger at you, and now i direct all my fingers on both my hands to the citizens” top 10 anime deaths
NANEFUA WINS, OH MY GOD YES
STEVEN, DUDE, REALLY?! LEAVE CONNIE ALONE!
“i don’t know what you’re talking about, but i need to get a new job” 2018 mood tbh
episode rating: 2 tomatoes out of 5. i can’t stand Steven in this episode at all. but hey, NANEFUA WON!!!!!!
RAISING THE BARN
....was Lapis’ main concern that Steven dropped his phone on Homeworld? not the fact that he was... idk... ON HOMEWORLD?!
ok Lapis is ready to bail immediately and tbh i dont blame her
did she just uproot the entire bard wtf?! 
BARN THE DIAMONDS, BARN THE DIAMONDS, BARN THE DIAMONDS!
episode rating: 1.5 barns out of 5. BARN THE DIAMONDS, BARN THE DIAMONDS, BARN THE DIAMONDS!
GEMCATION
Tumblr media
^ mfw Amethyst basically spat an egg out her mouth (it was kinda gross)
well. Greg got some kinda house.... still don’t get why the crew is so against having Greg get a house
also, where’s Peridot?
“remove all shoes before entering” Pearl fucking THROWS A RANDOM ASS PAIR OF SHOES
OKAY PEARL SCREAMING “PARTY GUY, NO!” WAS ACTUALLY KINDA FUNNY
S H O W M E P A R T Y G U Y Y O U C O W A R D S
“Steven, you should join me. become a raisin” ok Garnet
did. did Steven completely cut Garnet off as she was talking about Pink Diamond and the Gem War with the whole, “yeah, yeah, i get it, Mom. i already heard this story” kinda thing? B R U H that ain’t okay
AND GARNET JUST SHUTS UP AND WAS LIKE “good, you understand”
PEARL WAS GONNA STRAIGHT UP ADMIT TO SOME HUGE THING AFTER HER “THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO EXPLAIN” LINE AND HE CUTS HER OFF WITH “CONNIE HATES ME”
WHY COULDN’T STEVEN AT LEAST TELL THESE FOUR THAT HE WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT CONNIE HATING HIM?!
I’M KINDA GETTING SICK OF SEEING STEVEN MOPE LIKE THIS FOR 3 EPISODES STRAIGHT AND I HOPE HE DOESN’T KEEP THIS UP FOR THE NEXT 2
OH NO, PLEASE DISREGARD ALL OF THE MESSED UP THINGS YOU SAW ON HOMEWORLD CAUSE CONNIE IS (rightfully) UPSET WITH YOU. LARS D I E D.
GUITAR DAD SAVES THE DAY
i love Greg Universe
how would you not notice if you aren’t getting any service on your phone? your phone tells you when you’re getting service or not
bruh you almost made your dad drive off a cliff for you to get phone service
Greg Universe is a ride or die kinda guy
this ending shot is cute, i’ll give you that. 
Tumblr media
episode rating: 2 party guys out of 5. Party Guy should’ve bitten Steven’s phone and his shit attitude. also PEARL WTF ARE YOU TELL US ALREADY
BACK TO THE KINDERGARTEN
Connie i miss you
“of the three things i have to do in the sink now, this is the one i least mind you seeing” B R U H
 Peridot listens to country music, this is disgusting
HOLY SHIT AMETHYST IS TOSSIN’ PERIDOT AROUND LIKE SHE WEIGHS NOTHING AND I’M CRACKING UP
“can i bring my music?” “NO.” damn Amethyst you already threw Peri around like she ain’t nothin’, let her bring her music if it’ll help her
aaaay, they’re in the train again!
dang, Peri really loved the barn.
i kinda like that Amethyst is going around trying to figure out which member of the Famethyst came out of which part of the Kindergarten. kinda cute. 
so everything is seriously determined by the nutrition, right down to the style of a Gem’s hair? ...huh. iron deposits determine hair styles.
damn, Peri went with a sucker punch to the gut with her little speech about how Kindergartens kill off life and are just “lifeless husks” once all the Gems are done being formed. and Amethyst feels awful about it, dang.
ok. there’s a flower growin’ in the Kindergarten, and that should technically be impossible due to all of the nutrients in this one area being used up. this could be interesting.
ok, so now the trio is gonna farm & see what happens. ok, ok, i can roll with this i guess.
FARMING MONTAGE
Tumblr media
look at them flowers
they proud
don’t make Peri live here
Tumblr media
why the flamingo thingy taller than both of them
gods i didn’t need to see Steven happily showering
they’re talking about how the flowers are probs gonna look beautiful i bet they all died, they’re too positive about this. $5 them flowers are dead.
them flowers are dead,
...now they’re arguing, cause Peri blew up on them. alright. this ain’t good.
aaaaaaaaaaaand Peri crushed the original flower that grew here. both Steven & Amethyst made pained whimpers. ok. this ain’t good.
oh it’s a Gem creature- haven’t seen one of those in a while!
IT ATE PERIDOT HOLY FUCK
SMOKEY QUARTZ IS BACK
ngl i like Smokey’s theme music
btw there’s no dialogue from Smokey, just a quick 2 second thing
Peri doesn’t reform with a star on her
ok, that was kinda cute. and having a technician that also likes gardening is cute too
episode rating: 3.5 dead sunflowers outta 5. it was an okay episode & i did like it. 
SADIE KILLER
heh, i get it. cause lady killer.
oh god, that looks bad
WHY IS THAT MOP SO BIG
instead of reading off a long-ass list to the overly worked employee, just hand Sadie the list so she won’t fuck up?
“and a coffee. hold the coffee.” same tbh
oh. he’s in a band with the Cool Kids. WE GET TO SEE THE COOL KIDS!
“...i hope he [Lars] is safe and all, but working all these shifts by myself has been a huge drag” GIRL, LARS DIED IN SPACE AND IS STILL THERE
Steven stealing all the napkins is something i’d do tbh
man, i love the Cool Kids
is my girl Jenny rockin’ the bass? aaaaaaaaaaay!
Sour Cream, what the HECK IS RAP-A-BILLY?
“Doo-doo. Butt. The government corrupts” Buck is the voice of this generation
Tumblr media
welcome to EB Games
they... they admitted to following her home from work....
“doo-doo. i think i broke your bed” Buck wtf
also, i guess them watching all of Sadie’s horror movies gave them inspiration to do that weird donut-brain-eating song. weird.
“we are the working dead, and we lurch for minimum wage” same Sadie
......ok, she’s freaking everyone out. and they look uncomfortable. Sadie, seriously stop. they’re concerned.
...she. put lipstick on her eyes.
see, if she wasn’t freakin’ everyone out with this, i’d say this song is a bop. 
ok they’re fine now & thought it was lit ok cool cool cool. i ain’t a big fan of the lyrics tbh, but i do like the song.
 “aww, doo-doo”
ok so Steven’s askin’ for advice on how to write horror-themed songs from Sadie. how about LARS DIED ON HOMEWORLD
SADIE’S ADVICE IS:
LOSE YOUR LIFE TO A BORING JOB
LOSE THE ONE PERSON YOU WERE CLOSE TO
LOSE YOUR MIND WORKIN A TON OF SHIFTS
GIRL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Steven puttin’ Sadie on blast, good lord he just sang an accidental roast tryin’ to sing shit like she does
HE STOLE ALL THE NAPKINS AGAIN
“you can’t help being cute no more than i can help being cool” Buck, you’re a blessing
“yoooooo, what if this is all a dream?” Buck, wtf?
oh. Sadie’s goin’ with them. okay. 
OH. SHE QUIT HER JOB. UM. OKAY?
episode rating: 3 funky riffs out of 5. Buck Dewey is great.
KEVIN PARTY
I DO NOT WANT TO WATCH THIS EPISODE, BUT IMMA DO IT ANYWAY
DIDN’T EVEN START THE EPISODE AND I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE
let’s just get this over with...
why’d Steven wait this long to track down Lion?!
Tumblr media
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, here he is......
gods, i still hate him
stop being gross to kids, leave Steven and Connie alone ya freak
at least he knows they use they/them pronouns. 
how did he find out where Connie is? doesn’t she live far away from Beach City? did he track down these two kids just to “invite” Stevonnie?!
“no one turns down an invitation to a Kevin party” i sure as fuck would
lmao Kevin has an old phone
“your name’s Steven? weird, i thought your name was Clarence” OI, DON’T INSULT CLARENCE LIKE THAT
rude, Steven brought snacks and ya just toss ‘em into the void?
ok. he’s creepily obsessed with Stevonnie cause apparently they make parties and shit like that hella fun. um. stop? being obsessed with kids??
WTF WHY IS LION AT THE PARTY
Connie actually showed up. and had Lion the entire time. that’s. super fucked up. Lion is the ONLY way to get to Lars directly!
and also, there’s TWO KIDS AT A PARTY WITH OLDER PEOPLE?! NO ONE BUT DERRICK QUESTIONS THIS?
Kevin’s gonna try to get them to talk to each other... so they can form Stevonnie... so his party won’t suck...
also, he keeps calling them 7-year-olds........ siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, ok Kevin.
KEVIN YOU IDIOT LET THEM TALK TO EACH OTHER SO HE CAN SAY SORRY DON’T GIVE HIM YOUR “COOL GUY” BULLSHIT
“i need those old people to whisper my name when they die” tbh goals
“who’s Sabina?” Kevin got all red in the face and almost lost his cool
so Kevin’s gonna try to make Steven look like he’s moved on from Connie or some shit. this won’t end well.
NO, NOT DERRICK’S JACKET
now we get a montage of 2 kids being uncomfortable surrounded by older people at a party they should’t be at, ok.
at least Connie looks cute. and she got a haircut! so cute!
Tumblr media
NOT CUTE NOT CUTE NOT CUTE
Tumblr media
GOD, I HATE KEVIN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Steven, what are you doing?
Tumblr media
STEVEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ok, quick recap cause i didn’t mention this: Kevin thought Steven & Connie were dating, so, Connie only went to the party to see if Steven’s okay and if they could talk. Steven decided to follow Kevin’s advice for some reason, and Connie thinks Steve’s new BFF is Kevin, and Kevin has no concept of what friends are.
so. Connie didn’t text Steven cause she preferred talking face to face about this, and that texting him wasn’t good enough to work out these issues. very fair point. still don’t get why you legit stole Lion from him, but the not texting back thing makes complete sense.
ok, she rode Lion to his house while Steven, Greg & the Gems were away (the episode Gemcation). and that’s when she bumped into Kevin and got the invite. ok. now Kevin is slightly less creepy, but still disgusting nonetheless.
oh, yay! they’re talking it out! and Steven isn’t disregarding Connie’s anger!
yay! they’re friends again!
don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie, don’t form Stevonnie.
LMAO GET FUCKED, KEVIN, THEY AIN’T FORMIN’ STEVONNIE
episode rating: 1 Lion out of 5. least fave episode, tbh. but hey, we got Connie back!

I am constantly coming across quotes i want ot remember but i never write them down so yeah...
29.  youtube or netflix: netflix
30.  harry potter or percy jackson: Harry potter but am currently working my way through the percy jacksons series which i do enjoy and rick riordan is an awesome human!
31.  when you feel accomplished: when i remember how far i’ve come from what i was and how hard i’ve fought to be where i am now.

35.  to live in a world without literature or music: that is just mean :P but i’d have to chose literature as my life is based around stories
36.  pastel colours or dark colours: dark definitely!! other people look aweosme in pastels but i don’t like wearing them and honeslty just feel kind of suspicious of them as a colour group (i have no idea why i have such storng opinions on pastels or why i am suspicious...)
37.  tv shows or movies: Tv shows as you go through so much more. Also it suits my attention span better
38.  city or countryside: can i have like a town?? i love the countryside but i also need to be around other people or i get very morbid

41.  cinema or theatre: cinema because i love films but i do enjoy theatre
42.  if you could be any fictional character’s best friend, who’d you be: hmmmmmmmm i honeslty don’t know as my favs are people like me but being around someone like me as a best friend is kind of an odd thought...pass?
43.  smiling or smirking: smiling to me means just being free and comfortable to be happy and smirking in my mind is the silly little in jokes that tyou have with friends in the middle of a conversation or when you’ve thought of something inappropriately funny both of which i do a lot.
44.  are you an ‘all or nothing’ type or are you more consistent: all or nothing probably
45.  playlists or your whole library on shuffle: shuffle because i’m too lazy to make playlists
46.  travelling or staying at home: Travelling,but i like to have a base somewhere. but yeah i get bored of places easily and am not attached to anywhere as a ‘home’ as a concept i’ve never really got that feeling about anywhere? um it’s hard to explain so i’m just gonna stop cos i don’t know what my point is
47.  books or fanfiction: both are literature and they’re both stories and i fucking love stories in all forms! right now i’m reading more fanfiction because when i need to work lets get lost in emotions about fictional characters right?! but seriously i have a bunch of favourite fanfics which i keep rereading and most are novel length so like not much of  a difference!
48.  If you could live in a fantasy world, what world would it be: the chronicles of ixia world probably but like god there are so many that i’d want to be in!!
49. your favorite cartoon: um i don’t really watch that many cartoons... cacn i claim the Dragons tv series that accompanies httyd? it’s animated......
50.  name the weirdest five songs on your itunes, current or past: um ok so i have a bit of  a weird thing about my music in that i don’t like talking about it too much...i’m getting better but yeah i don’t want to answer this :)
51. mountains or plains: Mountains!!!!!!! they give me liiiiiiiiiife
52. favorite anime (or tv show if you don’t watch anime): Yuri on ice is the first anime i’ve watched and honeslty have fallen in love with it and it has ruined my world right now (it’s what my anxieties are currently directed out instead of at my work which i’m cool with) and the only other one i’ve seen is ouran high school host club which i actually watched half of yesterday whilst working as a friend loves it, it’s amusing :)
53. which social media platform are you most like yourself on: err i don’t really do social media much. i have facebook to talk to uni people, a couple of group chats with home people and it’s the only contact i have with my dad’s side of the fam as most don’t live in england but i don’t actually post anything except about work i’ve got donea dn funny photos of my friends. obvs i have tumblr which i overshare about myself way too much but this is probs a very accurate summary of my shit sense of humour, tv shows, and everything else in my head! though i do sometimes get concerned about my oversharing on here cos y’know internet safetyand all D: oh i have snapchat too but i mainly use it to talk to 2 friends one is in germany so i can’t ring her like i used to and the other we pretty much just send each other selfies with a lot of heart emojis! i’ve been debating getting instagram but haven’t decided yet...
54. What are some of your passions:anyone that knows me or reads my frequent oversharing will know i work in costume stuff so yeah i can literally talk about costuming and historic fashions for days and not get bored so yeha don’t ask about that unless you ready to learn!! ;) um i’m also an archery instructor, really love drawing, and just yeah the various tv, film and book obsessions that i go through (currently it’s yoi but i do try and keep my obsession from fully taking ove rthis blog-80% of it is still my shit sense of humour
55. Favourite food: I will fight everyone to get a proper roast dinner with yorkshire puddings and also chocolate.....and pomegranates.....and sugar snap peas......
This was fun!!!

Sixty-nine
Tumblr media
Randi
Cayden and his friends were drinking and doing god knows what else while watching the game. I had agreed to let him host the party here, which i was kind of regretting because they were loud as hell and it made it hard to take my mid day naps. I had left for a bit to go and pick up some groceries so i could make some food for them to eat plus some snacks and such and now i was back home. I walked past going to put the stuff in the kitchen.
“Baby, you back?” Cayden said, getting up and coming to the kitchen.
“Yeah, just went to target,” I said, taking stuff out of the bag.
“How’s my baby?” He put his arms around me to grab my belly.
“Active. He’s been jumping around all day,” I sighed. He moved his hand around.
“That’s because he’s a little baller. Or maybe a gymnast if it’s a girl.”
“Mmhm,” i said, putting my hand over his. Somebody scored and the guys got all excited. We both looked over. I started taking stuff out the bags. Cayden removed his hands and started going back to the living area. I glanced at him and saw his jaw was locked and arms flexed. I was confused. He walked up to Rambo and smacked him on the back of the head.
“Damn man!” Rambo jumped. He turned around and Cayden grabbed the blunt that he must have just lit out of his mouth.
“I told your slow ass not to be smoking in my house when my wife is pregnant. Are you dumb?  That’s my kid you fucking with bruh,”
“My bad Cayden, I forgot,” he said quickly. “I’m sorry man,” he said. Everyone else looked to see what Cayden was gonna do. I already knew what he was planning to do and considering he was China’s man and what not i couldn’t have them falling out or that would make things awkward for all of us. I put the milk I was holding down. I reluctantly intervened.
“It’s ok baby,” i said to him from the kitchen. He looked up at me and I gave him a look to calm down and of course he listened and backed down. He just put the blunt out and came to throw it out in the kitchen. He came up behind me and wrapped an arm around me again.
“Sorry,” He said by my ear just so I could hear.
“It’s ok,” I said, leaning up to kiss him. I wasn’t mad, after all he was right, it was bad for the baby. Cayden had stopped smoking, around the house anyways, all together. It was cute how concerned he was about the baby. He kissed my shoulder and I giggled.
“She’s already pregnant dog, give it a break,” ty said as he came strolling in to the kitchen to open the fridge. I blushed but laughed.
“Hey! I just got those,” I complained. But nobody was listening. He was long gone and they had broken into a play fight, crashing on to the floor and rolling around like children. “You’re 26 years old,” I grumbled, picking my rolls off the floor.
I made some stuff for the guys and then took my food upstairs to eat and watch some shows.
I ended up falling asleep after eating, but woke up a few hours later with terrible heart burn. That was happening a lot now. I would take it over being nauseous 24/7 like in the beginning, but it was still very uncomfortable. I went downstairs to go find some tums and realised Cayden and his friends were gone. I looked at my phone real quick and Cayden had texted me saying he was gonna go in to work. I got some tums and some milk and went back to the bedroom. I decided to give Cole a call because i hadn't talked to him in a while.
"Hi Colebear,"
"Hey lil mama. How you doing?" he asked.
"Im ok, just tired and sick all the time," i complained.
"That sounds horrible," he said. "How much longer you got anyways? Tryna make sure im there when the baby gets here."
"Still have like 4 months. Im ready for it to be over, and i just wanna hold my baby already." I groaned in frustration.
"When we gon find out if its a boy or girl? How am i supposed to buy them some swag if i dont know?"
"I was supposed to find out a while ago but i kept missing my appointments. Im going in a few days, should find out then."
"Word? aight keep me posted."
"I will," i said, "so whats up with you and Ty. He came to my house a week ago and from what he said yall had some drama when he visited." I was being nosy as usual.
"Aint no drama," he mumbled.
"What did you do?" i asked in an accusing tone. He sighed.
"I may have iced him out a little."
"Why?" i asked, confused.
"Things were getting...intense."
"Thats how a relationship works Cole," i pointed out.
"I know," he said simply. I smiled a little bit.
"I get it. I was the same way when Cayden and i started getting serious. It terrified me. It's scary to love someone."
"So what did you do?" He asked.
"Well Cayden didn't really give me an option to run. He followed me every time, " i laughed. "Eventually i just got tired of trying to run away and i just dove in. Now i'm married to the fool and carrying his baby."
"Diving in sounds terrifying."
"It is," i bit my lip, thinking back to when Cayden and i were still dating. "But its worth it."
"Ugh. I cant with this sappy shit right now. Im bout to go to practice and i dont need to be in my feelings while tackling a bunch of dudes."
"Okay fine, ill drop it for now. But you need to just accept you love him and move on. Don't overthink it," i said seriously.
"okay mom."
"Oh God, can you imagine someone is gonna be calling me that soon," i said, more to myself.
"I can see you as a mom. You always taking care of people or helping them fix their lives, even when they didnt ask," he laughed.
"What can i say, i dont know how to mind my business," i shrugged.
"Lowkey im the same," he said. "But i gotta go."
"Okay babe, have a good practice. Ill talk to you later." He said bye and then i hung up.

Cayden
"Yo, How's the shipment going?" I asked him, referring to a deal i had going with Sean. He was organising the order while i handled the logistics and such.
"Man i don't think we have enough here. We gotta bring some from the other warehouse. I was gonna call Pat but i wanted to run it by you," he got up and i followed him out to the balcony looking down to the rest of the warehouse. It was busy with niggas at work like usual, organised by product.
"What he want?" i asked.
"Coke mostly, but he talking about he got some guy wants a bunch of crystal. We got 10, 20 pound max here," he said, nodding at the back of the room where the guys were breaking and weighing a fresh batch.
"Who the fuck wants to buy that much crystal?" My brows came together.
"Man who knows, thats your boy, ask him. Im just saying, thats pretty much all our supply from both warehouses, and we have one cook" he said. I nodded because he was right, but that wasn't my biggest concern. It was just weird to me that Sean was suddenly moving crystal when he had never before. I couldn't help think back to the time Randi asked if Sean could be trusted and wondered if she was on to something.
"Dont call Pat. Not yet anyways. Imma have a little meeting with Sean first," i decided.
"Got it," he nodded.
"By the way, thanks for checking on Randi while i was gone," i said. He shrugged.
"Uncle duties and what not," he smirked, "how she doing anyways? You weren't playing when you said she was emotional."
"She tired all the time, i feel bad. She go off on you?" I laughed.
"Nah, just crying and shit. I don't know how you do it."
"Ill take crying over when she gets angry."
"True," Ty nodded. I checked my watch.
"I gotta go find Keisha, i need her to get Sean here. I aint going to Cali, i just got back," i looked around a bit.
"She was here with Kassie earlier, training and what not. How you get her to come back anyways?" he raised a brow.
"I begged," i chuckled. " Why? you still got a crush on her? Thought you were all about the D now."
"Fuck you Cayden," he said, turning to go back to his office. I laughed and went off to find Keisha.
I ended up just calling Keisha from my office and she came up.
"Hey, sorry, Kassie was showing me around. She just left," she said.
"It's all good. I need you to do something for me though. 2 things actually."
"Sure, what is it?" she pulled out a pen and notepad.
"I need you to get Sean here. ASAP."
"Got it," she nodded.
"Also i need you to book me a trip, for 2. Jamaica, not business. Anytime in the next month or so," i looked up from my phone calendar.
"I'll get right on it..." she paused. "It's sweet. I mean, im assuming it's for your wife."
"Yeah it is. Gotta keep her happy," i shrugged. She smiled. Then she seemed to remember something and pulled out her phone
"Oh before i forget, the accountant is coming tomorrow. Just a reminder. Also, your calendar says its Ty's birthday soon, do you want me to arrange anything?"
"Remind me an hour before tomorrow. Get a gift for me, Randi is doing the rest. She throws unnecessary parties, its kind of her thing," i rolled my eyes.
"Okay then. Ill go start on this," she said, turning for the door.
"How was the training by the way?" i asked. Kassie had been here the whole time i was gone, showing her the ropes
"Good. She was really nice. She had a lot of great things to say about you. But i'm not surprised, you're a nice guy Cayden. I cant tell you how much this job means to me, my son too," she brushed her golden curls aside. "I mean i made decent money at the club, but...this is a lot better," she bit her lip. I nodded.
"You should have called me, I always cared about you Keisha," i smiled at her gently seeing her get emotional. She was all tough exterior, it was rare to see this side of her.
"I was embarrassed," she shrugged.
"You aint gotta be. How people make money is none of by business. Bur don't worry, i pay my assistants a lot. You gotta put up with my ass, just wait, you'll be sick of me soon." She laughed.
"Thanks Cayden," she smiled.
"You're welcome," i said simply. She left and closed the door behind her.
Once she was gone i called Randi to check on her.
Randi
Cayden called me just after id gotten off with Cole. He asked how i was and then he was telling me about what he was doing and when he would be home. Then i heard someone talking in the background, it wasn't a guy though, it was a female voice.
“Who is that” I said.
“Who’s who?” He asked. I sat up straighter in the bed chair.
“The chick talking in the back ground,” i said. I couldn't think of any reason for there to be a girl in his office at the warehouse. I knew there were a few girls who were involved in selling and what not but Cayden didn't spend time talking to pedlars or people lower in the chain, he handled all the big time stuff. I started to wonder if he wasn't really at the warehouse but i didn't see why he would lie.
“Keisha,” he said, as if that meant anything. “My assistant.”
“When did you get an assistant? You don’t like anyone, how’d you even pick someone.”
“I told you months ago that I needed an assistant baby,” he reminded me. This was true but still.
“Hm,” I said simply.
“So we good then? I’ll see you in a few hours,” he said.
“Okay,” i said, hanging up. I had been too annoyed to say bye or I love you.
Why would he get an assistant without telling me? If that even was his assistant. I knew there was always random girls walking around that definitely weren’t assistants, the business kind anyways. I wondered what this Keisha girl was assisting Cayden with and my blood started to boil. I tried to not be this person but pregnancy also had me a bit mentally unstable and I wasn’t particularly confident right now. Was Cayden fooling around with another girl because i was becoming the size of a whale? I panicked and started to get up off the bed and pulled on a sweater.
I wasn’t really sure what I was doing until i was driving for 20 minutes and leaving the city to go towards the warehouse. I never came here on my own and I started to second guess myself as I pulled up and security immediately posted up. I got out of the car and locked it. One of the guys looked familiar though and I was pretty sure I’d seen him before.
“Are you lost shawty?” Another guy said, licking his lips in a disgusting way and looking down at me. I was about to release all my fury on him when the familiar guy spoke up.
“That’s Cayden’s wife you idiot” he said. The previous guy shrunk back.
“My bad,” he said quickly, head down.
“Should i get Cayden for you?” The familiar guy asked. I shook my head.
“I know my way,” I said, motioning to the door. They paused but moved out of the way. I adjusted my cardigan and went in. People stared at me because i rarely came period let alone on my own. Also I was pretty pregnant now which drew attention. I went upstairs to the offices and stopped in front of Cay’s. I debated whether or not to knock then decided against it. I opened the door and walked in.
Cayden looked up and his face went very confused when he saw me. He was in the chair and a girl stood beside him, bent over and pointing to the computer screen.
“Randi? What the fuck are you doing here?” He said. My face must not have looked happy because he quickly got up. “I mean is everything ok? Is it the baby?” He came over and put a hand to my lower back. I immediately checked his hand for the wedding band which was there.
“The baby’s fine,” I said, looking him over for lipstick, makeup, anything.
“What’s going on then?” He asked. I looked up at the girl standing and starring at us. Cayden looked up. “Keisha can you give me a minute with my wife,” she stood for a minute looking which was strange but then she shuffled out. I was looking around his office looking for any signs of anything messy when Cayden put a hand to my cheek. “Baby, What’s going on?”
“Nothing,” I mumbled, feeling like the biggest fool.
“You drove all the way up here for nothing. Nah,” he shook his head. I choked up, I couldn’t say I came because I thought you were cheating.
“I don’t feel good,” I lied. I did feel sick to my stomach all of a sudden but more out of guilt. Guilty that I’d thought he’d do something like that and also because the way he looked worried now that he thought I was sick.
“Maybe I should take you to the hospital,” he said, feeling my forehead.
“No I’ll be okay,” I said quickly. “I think I just need to go home,”
“I’ll take you,” He said “someone will come pick me up after.” I agreed. He held me all the way out of his office and down the stairs. Once we got in the car I was still thinking about the fact that he got an assistant and didn’t tell me. That was still sketchy, cheating or not.
“How do you know her?” I asked.
“Keisha?” He asked. I waited for him to lie because honestly I already knew the truth. I was simply testing him.  “Being 100, we used to fuck but it was a long time ago, and we were actually friends.”
“So is that why you didn’t tell me?” I asked.
“This about to be a problem isn’t it?” He asked. “Wait? Is that why you drove all the way down here?” Well shit.
“Well I heard a girl in your office,” I said, defending myself. He turned to face me then.
“And you automatically assumed I was what? Cheating?” He looked upset. I was supposed to be the one angry. “You don’t even trust me huh? Still,” he shook his head. When he put it like that he made it sound bad.
“It’s not like that-“
“What’s it like? You came running, so that’s what you thought.”
“Well...” I started. “Normally I wouldn’t be scared but look at me,” i gestured at myself. “I don’t look tight and right at the moment. And don't eve play me like you didn't just hire a girl you used to sleep with and not tell your wife about it.”
“You’re insane Randi. You’ve lost your mind. I ain’t even gon fight you cause you carrying my kid.” I got frustrated and was fighting the urge to break into tears so i just glared out the window for the ride home.

Why is my insurance going up?
I've been working with my employer for 7 years, as of right now I have employee & spouse coverage, I pay about 150 a month (auto deduct from paycheck) and that amount gets me a $5000 deductible and about a $25-$30 co-pay. this morning in a company meeting we were told that our insurance is going to go up (starting June 1st) now for employee and spouse it is going to be $410 a month (everything else the same as before co-pay and deductible) last year my hubby had some medical issues and we have about $7000 in medical bills (on a payment plan we pay $400 a month) so now when my new rate kicks in (in about a week) I will have to pay a total of $800 a month just for medical stuff... I can't afford this. my employer is very upset and wants to shop around but has been shopping around for 8 months now and can't find anything better than this. why is health insurance rising?? I am thinking about dropping myself from health insurance all together (I am 31 and healthy), also i plan on getting rid of my cable and internet (which would save $140 a month), my husband (with medical issues) will get health insurance through his work (about $160-$200 a month) and I will go without for a couple of years just so we can keep our heads above water...

What should i expect in a auto accident and insurance settlement?
I was hit from behind on Wednesday evening heading to work. The driver was ticketed by the police and their insurance company has admitted full liability. Injury wise, I have whiplash which thankfully, is going away now. My car, according to their adjuster, is going to be claimed as totaled. So, my car is valued at 7400, and repairs just from visual inspection, are 7015. So they are going the totaled route as its cheaper for them. After they buy the car from me, they will sell it to salvage, expect to get 2k from it, and only be out 5400 instead of a full cost of repairs. So I've had the car for a year and half, taken out on a 5yr car loan. I still owe 12k on it. After they cut a check to the lean holder, I'm still responsible for 5k on that loan. The bank and my insurance at the time didn't offer gap insurance. Stupid of me, I let my current policy expire to search around for a more affordable policy. I kept procrastinating, and the accident happened with me having no insurance. Lucky he hit me and is at fault. I'm trying to see what my options are. I've gone to the liable company's website and see their basic plan for my state, law requires 25k in property liability for at fault accidents, plus medical etc. So I'm wondering what should I expect from the lady handling this claim. I'm not fooled when she called me yesterday and said that she is here to work with and for me. Saying that there is probably a lot of talk about lawyers, just know they will take 30-40% of you settlement. Know that I'm here to work for you, try to work with me I'm thinking my head total bull crap. 1, she works for her insurance company first, and will have their interest first, 2, she works for their client and to protect them from me in a suit. In the end, I'm not stuck with a car that they will not fully pay to have repaired, and will still owe 5k after they pay the loan holder the value of the car. My credit is damaged and getting a new loan is probably not going to happen easily. I really don't want to get a lawyer but I now have a car sitting in my driveway that I can't use plus a balance in the end. Anyone got some suggestions as to what I should realistically expect. The lady mentioned a liability settlement, repair settlement, medical expenses settlement, and personal injury settlement. I'm not out to make money on this as that just will not happen. But I have no car and will owe 5k still. I'm just like...f**k""

How should health insurance companies thank Obama?
I just found out that my health insurance, which used to have a $500.00 deductible, will now be MORE expensive and will now come with a 5,000.00 deductible!! Which means, in order to see any benefit at all, I have to fork over $7,000.00 of MY OWN MONEY!! Which basically means, I have no health insurance now yet I still have to pay for it because it is now the law! If I don't, I get garnished. Asking around, I have learned that this is happening to everybody. So instead of getting MORE people covered by health care, Obamacare is getting millions of people effectively kicked off! But because of the law, we still have to pay the insurance companies, while they are free to raise the deductible to the point where their only purpose is to sit back and collect our money. Great. So I think the insurance companies should fork over a big, fat billion dollars to Obama for the all the cash he sent them!""

What car insurance should I get?
I am about to purchase a 1997 Volvo 850R sedan from a private individual. I am in Indiana. I have never had my own car insurance, always being on my mom's plan while in high school and college. Now that I have to set up my own plan, I have received quotes from Progressive, Esurance, Nationwide, and a few others, and everything looks and sounds pretty much the same to me. My mom has given me advice on what kind of plan to get, but I was wondering, is there a good or specific insurance company for someone like me? A male under 25 with a clean driving record and no tickets or violations? Does anyone have any good advice or horror stories from any specific car insurance company? What has worked best with you and your plan? I would like to get the insurance lined up by Tuesday or Wednesday, so any advice on where and how to go about it would be greatly appreciated.""

I dont get what to do about car insurance?
Im 16, and ive had my permit since last august, and im gonna go for my license. I lived with my dad, but i have been living with my mom for a while. Im probably going to go on my dads insurance. But, can i drive my moms cars. So my questions are 1. Can I drive my moms cars when if i am on my dads insurance, is there a policy where I can drive other peoples cars? 2. Can I go on my dads insurance if I dont live with him? 3. Im not on any insurance now, I drive with my parents. They are on the insurance and their cars are covered, so do I already have to be covered with just a permit. 4. Im going to use my moms car for the driving test, do I have to be on insurance by then? I know they check for proof of insurance but i dont know if im supposed to be on it. My parents are divorced and I live in illinois and they have different insurance companies.""

Bloody Knuckles, Ch. I
Chapter I of "Bloody Knuckles," yet another Essence of Ragnarok story.
This one's kind of interesting, in that I'm introducing a new familiar character who may or may not become a regular, in the later stories.  I guess we'll see what happens.
Word count: 5,982 – Character count: 34,334 Originally written: February 18, 2017 Revised on: September 6th, 2017
Carlos kidnaps Joseph and takes him to an unexpected location for an even less-expected reason.
[ ↶ Prev. Story | ← Prev. Chapter | Next Chapter → | Next Story ↷ ]
    “I’ve been thinking about that fight we had…”
    Joseph winced, his ears folding as he looked at the taller figure of Carlos, a newer… and, very unlikely acquaintance.  He’d come over, unannounced, that evening and seemed to have something on his mind, considering his opening statement…
    “You’re not a real great fighter, Joseph,” the black wolf continued, causing the fox to tilt his head.  “You’re slippery… but, once I got you, you stayed got.”     The fox jolted back as Carlos shoved a motorcycle helmet and some safety gear into his arms.  He took a moment to look it over… then, he glanced back toward Carlos.  The wolf had a stony look on his face.     “Put this on,” he said as he turned toward the motorcycle he’d parked nearby.  “You and I are going somewhere.”     “Uh…”     The taller figure cast a stern look over his shoulder, at the fox.     “Unless you’re busy?”     His tone made Joseph think that answering “yes” wasn’t an option, in that scenario…     “N-no, no…” he said as he started to withdraw and equip the pads from the helmet.  Carlos seemed satisfied with that answer and continued to his bike, then, and after the two had gotten equipped and settled on the vehicle’s chassis, he started the engine and they were off.
    Joseph loosely held onto Carlos’ shoulders as the wolf drove away from his house and headed to the highway.  He didn’t seem to have anything to say and, though Joseph wondered where they were going, he didn’t want to ask.  It had only been a couple of months after they’d fought and gotten to know each other… but, they were still far from being “friends” – at least, as far as he was concerned.  Past interactions had left their mark and, even when Carlos had tried to be friendly toward him, it always seemed a little… forced, to Joseph’s perception.     Maybe that’s why he’s taking me somewhere? he thought.  Maybe he wants to try harder, to be friends?  I’m not sure I’d like that, but…     He looked at the back of Carlos’ helmeted head.     I’m willing to try…  I’d definitely rather be his friend than his enemy, in any case…
    The trip into town was a long, silent, and somewhat uncomfortable one as Carlos drove through the traffic.  The weather was a bit chilly and, unfortunately for Joseph, he hadn’t thought to wear a jacket – something the wolf had done.  As much as he hadn’t wanted to, he found himself curling up to Carlos’ leather-clad backside for warmth.  Thankfully, the wolf didn’t seem to notice… or, maybe he just didn’t care.
    “Off,” Carlos commanded as he pulled into a seemingly random location.  Joseph gave a wince before quickly hopping off the bike.     “You really should have grabbed a jacket,” the wolf continued, noticing he was shivering.     “Y… y-yeah…” was all the fox could say as he tried to keep his teeth from chattering.     “Anyway, we’re here.”     He gave a blink as Carlos walked away from his motorcycle and toward a nearby building.  It was then that he noticed just where they were…
    Joseph was standing in the parking lot of a large, well-lit, two-story building – the front of which seemed to be made entirely out of glass.  He could easily see that there were a number of people inside… but, what further piqued his curiosity was the fact most of the people seemed to be working with various types of personal machinery… specifically, machines and equipment made to define and enhance one’s body.  A quick glance up revealed the name of the location and confirmed his newfound suspicions…
    “‘Mindy’s 24/7 Gym,’” he read from the large, neon letters above.  “Wait a minute…”     “Are you coming or what?”     The fox gave a blink.  Carlos was already standing at the doorway with his helmet under one arm… and, showing a very impatient look.     “Uh… y-yeah, yeah, I just–”     “Whatever.”     Joseph gave a slight scowl as Carlos headed inside.  He was quick to follow, after that.
    “Oh, man… man, oh, man…”     The fox couldn’t help but let his tail wag as he felt the much more temperate air of the gym caress his exposed fur.  It was such a relief, to him, to get out of the cold…  Once he felt a bit warmer, he started to remove his bike gear and continued to follow Carlos.     “Why did you bring me to an all-night gym?” he found himself asking.  However, the lack of response from Carlos made him decide not to ask a second time.  It seemed like the wolf was looking for something, in particular…  A piece of equipment, perhaps?  Or, maybe, he was leading Joseph to a specific area of the gym?  The fox couldn’t know, for sure, until either Carlos told him or they’d arrived, it seemed.
    As Carlos continued to lead him through the gym, he started to look around at all the people inside.  There were a few people lifting weights in one area of the gym and others doing arm or leg crunches in another.  Weight training wasn’t the only thing he’d noticed, though.  There were also pieces of equipment that were much less intensive, such as treadmills and exercise bikes, off in another area of the gym… though, they didn’t seem to be in use, at the time.  After passing through a doorway, the two had arrived in yet another area of the gym filled with a specific kind of equipment.  Joseph could see a rack with boxing gloves sitting near the doorway and some punching bags not too far away from that.  In fact, there seemed to be a lot of punching bags, in that particular room – both small and tall – not to mention a couple of different boxing arenas.  Much like the exercise equipment, though, not a whole lot of that area’s equipment seemed occupied.  However, at least one person seemed to be taking out their frustrations on a tall punching bag… with their bare hands, no less…
    “Hey, Jess!”     The wolf’s voice suddenly caught Joseph’s attention.  He looked toward the wolf… then, over toward the person he’d noticed, before.  They’d stopped hammering on the bag, their own attention turning Carlos’ way.     “Hoy, Car-face!” the figure called in a tough-sounding but feminine tone.  Joseph perked, watching them jog over.  As they drew closer, he had to blink at what he saw…
    Arriving in front of Carlos was the form of what appeared to be a bat girl with very colorful hair.  Her long bangs, situated more heavily over her left eye than the right, were neon-pink in coloration.  Joseph thought it worked fairly well with the rest of her shaggy, reddish-orange, shoulder-length hair.     The girl’s fur seemed pitch black – possibly even darker than Carlos’ own fur – with the exception of her muzzle and, apparently, her belly and what he could see of her small chest.  She also had large, leathery wings hanging from her back and a pair of pointy, thin bat ears – orange inside and black out – poking out of her soft hair.  There was a small curl of flesh poking up from her small muzzle and, most curious of all, her eyes of two different colors… her left being bright green while the other was bright red.  He thought it was very odd and that she might have been wearing colored contacts… but, at the same time, it kind of suited her cute face, too.
    “I told you not to call me that,” Carlos warned the girl with a frown.  She just smiled in response and slapped his shoulder with her tape-covered left hand.     “Who’s ya friend?” she said immediately after, intensely inspecting said friend.     “This is Joseph,” Carlos responded as the bat girl started circling the fox.     “He’s fluffy!” she exclaimed, much to his confusion.     “Whatever,” was the wolf’s reply before he continued.     “Anyway, I need you to punch his lights out – but, only a little.  Okay?”     Joseph jolted in place.  “W… what?!”     “Okay!” the girl chimed, grabbing him by the tail.  Before she could drag him off, though, he took hold of Carlos’ arm, a mix of anger and worry in his golden eyes.     “What the Nether, Carlos?!” he half-shouted.  “I thought we were friends!”     “We are,” Carlos calmly stated with a grin.  “That’s why I’m having Jess beat you up.”     “That doesn’t make any sense!”     “Eh, wot?” the girl suddenly said, stopping in her tracks.  “Ya mean ya didn’ tell ‘im?”     “Tell me what?” Joseph said as he yanked his tail free.     “Jess is the boxing instructor, here at Mindy’s.”     He gave another blink before looking at the bat.  She held open her left hand to him, then, brightly smiling as she introduced herself.
    “Jessica U. Ingmann, boxin’ instructor ‘n general face-puncher, at’cha service!”     “Uuuhh…”  Joseph hesitated… then, carefully took her hand.  “Joseph Lithius.”     “Imma call you… ‘Punchin’ Bag,’ fer now!” she replied as she vigorously shook his hand.  “‘less ya prove otherwise, I mean!”     The fox blanched at that nickname.  “W… what?”     “Don’t mind her,” Carlos said as Jessica let go of Joseph’s hand.  “She’s a little weird but she gets results.  Her methods should turn you into a fighting machine in no time.”     “‘Fighting machine?’”  The fox gave a blink.  “Wait, what?”     “You bet.”  He offered a grin.  “You need training before we have our rematch, Joseph.”     “R… rematch…?”     “C’mon, Punchin’ Bag!” Jessica suddenly called as she grabbed his tail, again.  “Inta th’ ring, wi’cha bad self!”
    Carlos gave a slight chuckle as he watched the bat drag Joseph into a nearby boxing ring.  Then, he took his leave.     Joseph wasn’t exactly putting up a fight, by that point… but, he didn’t seem terribly thrilled by the prospect of getting his teeth knocked out, either.  Luckily for him, it didn’t seem like the bat-girl had any interest in actually hurting him… but, rather…     “We’re gonna gauge where ya stand, kiddo!”
    He gave a blink as she hopped over the ring’s ropes and walked over to the nearby rack of gloves.  He curiously paid attention as she took two pairs down – a set of red ones and a set of blue ones – then, he jolted as she tossed the blue ones his way.     “Hang on t’ those, fer a sec!” she instructed.  “I’mma get’cha a mouthpiece ‘n safety helmet, so’s I don’t break yer fluffy li’l face!”     “E-excuse me…?” was all he could say, to that.     “Ya should’a thought about that b’fore ya stepped inta th’ ring, Josey!” she smartly replied as she got into a nearby box.  It wasn’t long before she withdrew the two items she’d mentioned; headgear and a mouthpiece, as well as another mouthpiece, for herself.  She quickly headed back into the ring, after that, and handed him his gear.
    “Now, this ain’t a knock-down drag-out brawl!” Jessica told him as she started to put on her gloves.  “S’just a li’l ‘exhibition match,’ t’ see what I gots t’ work with!  So, I’mma go easy on ya, ‘til I know where ya stands!  You, though?”     She flashed a little grin and gave a wink, shaking one gloved hand at the fox.     “Gimme yer best shot, Goldie!”     “I… uh… hn…” was all he could think to say as he equipped the gear.  He really couldn’t figure out how he’d managed to get into the situation… but, it seemed like the best way out was to just follow her instructions.  He did pause to ask her something, though…     “Where’s your helmet?”     “Dun need one!” was her grinning answer.     “Isn’t that dangerous?  I mean, I don’t want to hurt you…”     “Oh, trust me…”  That wicked grin returned as she narrowed her eyes.  “Ya won’t.”     “Uuuhh…  Okay…”
    Jessica hopped from one tape-covered foot to the other as she waited for Joseph to finish putting on his gear.  For some reason, he couldn’t help but notice the way her black training shorts rustled but her red halter top stayed against her slim frame as she moved.  She didn’t seem terribly agile… but, she certainly moved with the confidence of a professional boxer.  Or, at the very least, a semi-professional one.  That made him feel a little more concerned…
    “Anytime yer ready, Punchin’ Bag!” she called as he finally finished getting equipped.     “I… guess I’m as ready as I’ll ever be?” was his response, somewhat muffled by his mouthpiece.     “Ya sure ‘bout that?” the bat asked, noticing the somewhat awkward pose he’d taken.     “I, uh… guess so?”     “Mmm… a’right…”  She grinned at him, showing her own mouthpiece.  “Le’s go!”
    Jessica slowly advanced toward the fox, keeping her gloves at chest-level.  It seemed to Joseph like she was keeping herself wide-open as she took half-step-after-half-step, toward him… but, maybe, that was the idea?  She was trying to gauge his abilities, after all… so, maybe, she was trying to let him have the first strike?  Bearing that in mind, the fox slowly advanced toward her, keeping his own gloves near his chest and trying to remain aware of her every move.
    “Ah, hang on, hang on…”
    The fox gave a blink as he watched Jessica remove one glove.  He lowered his own as she walked over… then, he gave a blink and a jolt as she stole the glasses right off his face!     “I– hey!”     “Oh!  These real?”  She asked, sounding genuinely surprised.     “Y– yes!” was all he could think to say.  “Mind giving those back, now?  I can’t see, without them.”     “Oh, hmm… that’s a problem.  Here ya go!”     He gave a blink as she put them back on his face, just as they had been, before.     “What’s a problem?” the fox asked as he watched her leave the ring, again.     “We’re gonna have t’ fit’cha with some protective goggles, Goldie!” was her response.  “Don’t wanna mess up yer li’l spectacles wid m’ fists!”     “Oh…”  He took a moment to adjust his glasses.  “That’s nice of you.”     “Ain’ it, though?”
    It didn’t take long for Jessica to help him into a pair of goggles.  While she was doing that, however, he couldn’t help but notice…     “Don’t you need a pair, for yourself?”     “Oh what, these?” she replied, removing a pair of glasses that sat behind her nose leaf.  He had to blink as she immediately put a finger right through them, giving it a wriggle.     “They ain’t real, Josey!  I jus’ wear ‘em ‘cause they’re cute!” was her explanation.     “Oh.”  He rubbed the side of his face with one glove.  “So, they are.”     “Fake?”  She offered a grin.  “Or, cute?”     He had to blink, again.  The look she was giving him was a curious one… one that made him feel a little shy, in fact.
    “Gloves up, babydoll!” Jessica said after a moment.  The fox perked before raising his gloves, his ears flicking as she bumped her own gloves to them.     “An’, away we go!”
    Once again, Joseph found himself in a defensive stance, just watching as the curious bat-girl slowly circled around him.  She was clearly making exaggerated motions to telegraph her actions as she stepped around and took a couple of slow, controlled swings his way.  As her third punch connected with his headgear, however, he took a swing of his own, aimed at her exposed midsection.
    There was an awkward moment between the two as Jessica stared at him.  She didn’t seem to know what to think…  Eventually, though, she simply asked one question…
    “You sandbaggin’ on me, son?”
    Without waiting for a response, the bat threw a much harder right jab at Joseph’s head.  Though the headgear took most of the brunt of the hit, it was still enough to alarm the fox and cause him to hop back.     “How’m I s’posed t’ tell ya where ya are when ya ain’t givin’ me yer A-game?” she posed as she advanced on him, swinging all the way.     “I just– I don’t want to hurt you!” was his response.     “I a’ready told’ja, ya won’t!  Now, quit screwin’ ‘round ’n throw a punch like ya mean it!  Elsewise, I may have t’ convince ya…”
    As the controlled fight continued, Joseph managed to keep flinching and ducking out of the way of every punch Jessica threw while she danced around the ring, with him.  However, he was quick to notice… her punches seemed to be picking up steam.  Pretty quickly, at that.  It wasn’t long before he had to actually look out for her fists coming his way.     “C’mon, Josey!  Don’t be a posey!” she taunted as she bopped the side of his face with a quick, controlled punch.  “Fight me!”     “I don’t– I mean– I’m not–”     “I.  Said.  Do it!”     A sudden left hook caught the underside of Joseph’s head, causing him to stumble a few steps.  He seemed a little dazed, from the hit… but, once he’d figured out what had happened, he gave a growl.     “I thought you said–”     A solid smack to his goggles interrupted his thought.     “Fight me!” the bat taunted with another swing.     It was becoming painfully clear that she was putting less effort into “going easy on him,” presumably from his lack of cooperation, though she was still cool, collected, and even seemed to be grinning, at him.  For some reason, though… that just made him mad.
    “I said I don’t want to–”  He ducked a right hook, growling again.  “Cut it out!”     “Fight!  Me!” she called again, jabbing his goggles with three short thumps.     “You’re starting to pi–”     A less-than-gentle smack to his cheek shut him up.     “C’mon, chicken-wuss!” she taunted.  “Le’see wha’cha made of!”     “If you’d just–”     Another firm blow to the opposite side of his head interrupted him, again.     “You talk too much.”     He growled, at that, and started to rebut… but, once again, she bopped him!  Strangely enough, that blow was right on his nose… and, much more gentle.  It could not have been more obvious that Jessica was in complete and total control of herself… as well as him.     “Hit me, damn it!” she said with some impatience.  “Hit me or I’ll put’cha on th’ mat!”     She quickly reinforced that threat with a firm jab to the side of his head… followed by another right hook, which made him stagger.  The bat drew her left hand back and let it fly, then, aiming right at his face.  However, Joseph saw the punch coming and ducked.  And, then…
    “Haaa…!”
    Jessica found herself staring down at the fox.  One of his blue gloves had embedded itself into her abdomen… and pretty sharply, too.     “Well, now…” she said with a grin.  “Looks like th’ li’l Punchin’ Bag’s got some fight to ‘im after all!”     “Yeah, well, you–” he started to reply… before Joseph experienced a sudden change in perspective.     His eyes opened wide as he lay on the mat, a ringing in his left ear and an odd lack of sensation to that same side of his face.  When he could finally look up at the person who’d put him there, he noticed that she still had that infuriating grin on her face…
    “Left yerself wide open there, Josey…” she said in an oddly calm tone.     He gave a slightly confused blink, staring up at her.     “Get up,” she taunted as she bumped her gloves together.  “Yer not hurt.”     Not knowing what else to do, he picked himself up and slowly got to his feet.     “How ya doin’ there, Josey?” the bat asked as she hopped from one foot to the other.     “I can’t feel the side of my face… and, I think one of my ears stopped working.”     “That’s too bad.  You’ll be fine, though!  Now, ya gonna actually put up a fight?”     The fox’s eyes briefly narrowed… then, he gave a sigh.     “Doesn’t seem like I have a choice.”     “That’s th’ spirit!  I think?”  Jessica chuckled.  “A’ding-ding!”
    Even though he still didn’t want to hurt her, the bat’s progressively intensifying attacks encouraged Joseph to at least try and fight back.  Eventually, he even started to take a swing here-or-there… often with miserable results.  After being placed on the mat two more times, he felt himself getting more-and-more frustrated…  Between her superior fighting style and her taunts, he was quickly getting angry… and, that anger caused him to make a huge mistake.
    “Hengh…!”
    Jessica opened her dual-colored eyes wide as she felt something solid smash into her side.  It was in that moment that Joseph had realized what he’d just done…     “I… I–”     But, before he could even begin to apologize, he found himself thrown across the ring from a vicious blow to the face!     “That hurt, you sonovabitch!” Jessica said as she walked toward him, holding the side of her midsection with one gloved hand.  “Why’d’ja go ‘n knee me, like that?!”     But, Joseph wasn’t in any condition to respond.  Even though he was still conscious – thanks to the protective gear, no doubt – her tremendous punch had left him with a sharp ringing in his ears and a severe lack of cooperation from his body.  He didn’t seem at all aware of the situation as Jessica pulled him to his feet.
    “Listen, kid…” she said in an impatient tone, “I’m a boxing instructor, not a kickboxing instructor!  I teach ya t’ fight wi’cher hands, not’cher legs!  You kick me like that, again, an’ I’ll have ya banned, from this place!  No joke!  Ya dig?”     She waited for a moment… then, she gave him a shake.     “Hey…  You okay?”     Her brow furrowed as she looked into his eyes…  It seemed like neither of his golden optics wanted to look in the same direction for more than a second…     “Oh.  Hm…  Well… ain’t that somethin’?  Guess we’ll wait, then!”     And, so, the boxing instructor propped her prospective student up against the corner of the ring and waited…  Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Joseph to regain his composure.
    “What… where am I?” he quietly asked.  “What’s that annoying sound…?”     “I punched ya in th’ face,” called a muffled voice.  Joseph looked to his left to see the smiling face of Jessica, staring back at him.     “Oh.”  He paused…  “I can’t even feel my face.  Is that normal?”     “Eeeh… sorta?” she said with a chuckle.  “Be thankful, though!  I kinda hit’cha pretty hard!  S’prob’ly gonna hurt like a bitch, later!”     “Oh, that’s good.”  Joseph paused again… then, he scowled.  “I mean no, that’s not good.  Wait, why did you punch me so hard?”     “‘cause ya kneed me in th’ kidney, ya ruddy street punk!”     “Oh…  I’m sorry.”     “Yeah, well, don’t let it happen again, else I’ll have ya banned from th’ gym.  A’right?”     “That sounds fair enough,” was Joseph’s response.
    “In any case… it seems like ya have some fightin’ experience… so, we ain’t gotta start from square one.  But, if ya wanna learn t’ box, yer gonna need’a learn a few things.”  She offered a friendly smile.  “Lucky fer you, I can teach ya.  Fer a li’l fee, o’course!”     “Truth be told, Miss Ingmann–”     “No-no-no,” she interrupted with a grin.  “Call me ‘Jessie!’”     “Truth be told, Miss Ingmann…” he started, again, “I didn’t come here of my own accord.  I was drug here by Carlos – that wolf guy – without knowing why or where I was even going.  So, uh… I hope you won’t be too insulted if I don’t take you up on your offer.”     “Well ain’t that a bitch?”     Joseph gave a blink.  Jessica had leaned back against the bottom rope of the ring, one leg raised at the knee and one hand on top of that.  She didn’t seem to be paying any attention to the fox, at that time, and was grinning… but, it looked a little less cheerful than her earlier ones.
    “I was gonna give ya a discount, since ya know Car-face, ‘n stuff.  He’s one’a my fave customers!  Taught ‘im everything ‘e knows ‘bout proper fightin’… but, ‘e’s still got a long way t’ go in controllin’ that temper’a his!”     She looked toward the for with a smirk.     “Ya get that from him?”     With a chuckle, she looked back toward the other side of the ring before sighing.
    “Yo, if ya don’t wanna do th’ boxin’ thing, that’s fine.  Ain’ no skin off’a my leafy li’l nose.  But, from me t’ you?  I gotta say, if ya plan t’ fight Car-face again, yer gonna need trainin’a some sort.  Pro’ly kickboxin’d suit’cha best.  Ya seem like ya got strong legs… an’ ya know how t’ use ’em!”     “I don’t… really plan to fight him, again, though.”     “Oh, yeah?”  She turned her eyes his way.  “Why not?  ‘cause he’ll kick yer ass?”     “That’s part of it, yes…” Joseph sighed as he removed his gloves.  “But, I really don’t have a reason to fight him, again, is the thing… and I had no idea he was interested in fighting me.”     “Why did’ja fight in’a first place?”     “What?”  He gave a blink after removing his goggles.  “Personal reasons…  I don’t want to get into it.”     “Sounds t’ me like he wants t’ finish what you started!”     “Yeah, well… that’s Carlos.”
    There was a long silence between the two as they sat there, quietly taking in the sounds of the gym.  Joseph found himself wondering why Carlos had wanted a rematch… and, why he’d gone to the trouble of dragging him to a place to, apparently, get him fighting-fit.  Like the wolf had said, he wasn’t much of a fighter… and, honestly, he didn’t see much reward in risking severe injury against Carlos a second time – especially if he didn’t have a reason.  He then started to wonder if the wolf would bring it up, again, should he just drop the subject…     “Carlos has an odd way of ‘being friends’ with people, doesn’t he?”     “Ain’ his fault,” Jessica replied.  “He was raised weird, I guess.”     “Yeah, well… again, ‘that’s Carlos.’”     And, again, the two went silent, for a while.
    “So, hey,” the bat said after a moment.  “Sorry I clocked ya one.”     “Eh, it’s alright,” was Joseph’s response.  “I deserved it.”     “Heh, yeah!  But… yeah, I don’t take too kindly to assault.  But, don’t let that bother ya much, a’right?  S’just tit-fer-tat, Goldie.”     “No, no… fair’s fair.  And, for what it’s worth?”     The fox smiled over to the bat.     “I’m sorry I kneed you.”     “Oh, if ya ain’t, now, ya will be, later!”     Joseph gave a blink as Jessica brought a finger up and poked him between the eyes.     “Yer face ‘s gonna be sooooore!”     “Heh.  I bet I will…”  He smiled again, his tail wagging.  “You hit like a truck.”     “Only when I means it!” she said with a grin.     “What about you, though?”  The fox gestured to her side.  “Is your kidney going to be alright?  I didn’t hurt you, did I?”     “S’ a li’l tender… but, I heal quick.”  Her grin brightened.  “Don’t you worry, Josey!”     “Alright.”  He gave a sly sort of smile.  “I won’t.”     “Punk!” she said, giving him a nudge.  The two shared a bit of laughter, then.
    “Hey, Jessie?”     The bat perked before turning toward the fox, attentively looking at him.     “I’m not much of a fighter… and, I don’t really want to become one, either… but…”     “Change yer mind?” she guessed.     “I mean… learning a little self-defense never hurt anyone…”     “No one what didn’t d’serve it!”     Joseph gave a chuckle, at that.     “So I mean… I dunno…  Maybe I will take you up on that offer, after all?”     “Great!”  The bat brightly smiled.  “I could use th’ scratch!”     “Shortage of funds after the holidays?”     “Somethin’ like that.  Anyways, let’s go up front ‘n discuss payment plans, huh?”     “Alright.”
    Jessica immediately got to her feet, patiently waiting as Joseph dragged himself up.  She couldn’t help but chuckle a little as he clung to the ropes, still dazed from her punch.     “Need some ‘elp there, Goldie?”     “I–”  He paused… before giving a sigh.  “Yes.”     This got a rather odd reaction, from the girl.  His ears perked as he heard her laugh so hard that she snorted at him.     “Well… I mean… it wasn’t that funny…” he said as he let her drape his arm around her back.  “But, I have to admit… that snort was kind of funny.”     “You want me t’ drop you, smart guy?”     “Aaahh… no.  No, thank you,” he chuckled.  She gave a chuckle, as well, before helping him out of the ring and into to the front of the gym.
    “A’right, so!” she said as she crunched some numbers on a computer, minutes later, “I got’cha down fer th’ eight-week trial membership ‘ere which includes access t’ th’ gym, a personal locker, an’ all th’ facilities on th’ first floor.  After that eight-week thing, we can talk ‘bout silver membership ‘n maybe gold membership which includes th’ second-floor stuff!  As fer yer personal trainin’?  Well, come in twice a week at 8 PM fer a two-hour-long session–”     “Wait, 8 PM…?” Joseph interrupted, giving a blink.     “S’right,” was Jessica’s reply.  “That’s when I work!  Anyways, a two-hour-long session what includes self-defense, weight trainin’, ‘n cardio.  Survive yer first week ‘n I’ll get’cha sit’iated with a diet plan ‘n take-home exercise routines.  Gotta show some commitment, ya know?”     “Fair enough, I guess.”     “Then, ya know, d’pendin’ on yer progress, we’ll make each session past that more intense!  Can’t promise I’ll turn ya inta a lean, mean, boxin’ machine after eight weeks… but, I can definitely tell ya, you’ll notice a huge improvement t’ yer health!  Pro’ly!”     “‘Probably…?’”     “Results may vary ‘n all that donk,” she said with a grin.  “Anyways, that comes t’ 3,400 Rai, fer yer initial two-month membership.  I’ll charge ya fer my services sep’rately, dependin’ on how well ya do or don’t do!”     “Do I still get a ‘friend of a friend’ discount?” he asked as he withdrew his wallet.     “Wid me?  Yes!  Wid th’ gym, itself?  Ah-uh.”  She offered a friendly smile.  “Nothin’ I can do ‘bout that, I’m afraid.”     “Alrighty.”
    Joseph slid a card through a nearby machine and Jessica looked to her monitor, again.  There was a short delay before she turned back, wearing that same, friendly smile of hers.     “Yer all set!” she cheerfully said.  “Expect yer membership card in th’ mail, within a week.  ‘til then, use this throw’way card t’ access our facilities ‘n whatnot!”     The fox watched as the bat printed out a small piece of paper then ran it through a device which coated it in plastic.  He picked the newly laminated card up a second later and slipped it into his wallet.     “Thanks fer choosin’ Mindy’s 24/7 Gym!” she said with a bright smile.  “Hope t’ see ya, soon!  Tell yer friends!”     “I may do just that… if I’m satisfied with my membership,” was his reply.  That caused the bat to grin.  “Now, I’ve gotta go find Carlos…  He’s my ride home.”     “Car-face should be over in th’ weight room,” she said as she walked out from behind the front desk.  “He digs heavy liftin’!”
    “Say, uh… if you don’t mind my asking…”     She perked before offering a bright smile.  “Shoot!”     “Why do you call him ‘Car-face?’  I mean… is there a story behind that, or…?”     “‘cause it annoys ‘im,” she unabashedly admitted with a wide grin.     “I see…”  The fox paused for a moment.  “And… he likes you?”     “Everyone likes me!  ‘cause bitch…”  The fox jolted back, his ears perking as the slender bat took a pose and slapped her small rump.  “I’m fabulous!”     “You’re certainly something, alright…” he commented.     “An’, don’t you forget it!” she beamed.  “Now, you have a nice night, Goldie!”     “You, too…”  He paused again… then gave a grin.  “‘Pinkie.’”     “‘Pinkie?’”  She smirked at that.  “Work on that nickname, Goldie.  I’ll see ya later!”
    Jessica headed back toward the boxing area of the gym, leaving Joseph to wander toward the weight room by himself.  Luckily, it didn’t take him long to find Carlos laying on a bench, lifting what appeared to be a pretty sizeable barbell.     “89… 90… 91…” the wolf counted as Joseph drew closer.  “Hey…  How’d things go?”     “Well… she sold me a membership,” was his immediate response.  “And, she’s also going to train me, twice a week.”     “Good, good…” the wolf grunted as he continued to press the weight.  “You’ll need that, if you want to beat me.”     “Yeah, about that…”     “You know,” Carlos continued without interruption, “I felt kinda bad, beating you up.  I’m much better at fighting than you… so, I figured getting you some training would make things right.  Then, we could finally have that fight you wanted, fair and square.”     Joseph gave a blink as Carlos put his barbell up then sat on the bench with a pant.     “Of course, I still think I’ll win…”  He gave a slight grin.  “But, at least I won’t feel guilty about kicking your ass, again.”     “You… really want to fight me, again, huh…?” Joseph suddenly asked.     “It’ll be more of a ‘friendly spar’ thing, this next time, but… yeah.  Why not?”     “I… hn…”
    Carlos was looking up at Joseph, then.  It was kind of odd… but, there was a smile on his face… almost like he was excited by the idea of fighting, again… and, that made the fox reconsider what he was about to say.
    “If… you really want to have a friendly skirmish, with me, then, I guess…”  Joseph gave a light sigh before smiling.  “Yeah.  We can do that.  Who knows…  It could be fun.”     “That’s what I like to hear,” he said as he got to his feet.  Joseph watched as he then went over to a leg crunch machine and started adjusting the machine’s settings.     “So, what do you think of Jess?” he casually asked before sitting down.     “She’s… quirky,” was the first thing out of the fox’s mouth.  “She also hits really hard, when she means it.”     Carlos smirked as he started working out.  “You tried flirting with her, huh?”     “What…?”  Joseph blinked.  “N-no!  Why would I–”     “Kidding,” he said with a grunt.  “Anyway, yeah.  Piss her off and she’ll clobber you.”     “Have you ever pissed her off?”     “No.”     “Er… then how did you know–”     “Hang on… you almost made me lose count.  Hrngh…”     The fox gave a blink… then, he gave a nod, deciding to let the conversation drop as Carlos continued to work his leg muscles.  He then decided to just quietly wait for the wolf to finish before asking another question.
    “Just curious…  Why do you come to a gym all the way out in Muramasa City when Masamune has good gyms, too?  Wouldn’t one of those be closer?”     “I have my reasons,” Carlos said as he got up from the machine.     “Is Jessie one of those reasons?”     “No.  But…”     The wolf picked up a nearby towel and gave his forehead a rub before he admitted…     “She’s interesting… and, she’s tougher than she looks.  I like that.  Anyway,” he said as he looked toward the fox, “I’m done with my workout so I guess I should take you back home, now.  You can find this place, again, right?”     “Well, yeah…”  Joseph gave a shrug.  “I’m a member, now, and I don’t like wasting money, so…”     “Good to hear.  Let’s go.”
    After a brief stop for Carlos to get a protein bar from a vending machine, the two headed outside.  The weather wasn’t much warmer than it had been earlier, much to Joseph’s discomfort.  However, he found himself rather surprised… when the wolf offered him his jacket.     “Take it,” he said as he gave it a shake.     “Won’t you get cold…?” Joseph asked as he accepted the garment.     “I don’t get cold.”     “Then why–”     “Road rash.”     Joseph understood what he’d meant by that… though, he didn’t quite believe him about not getting cold.  Regardless, he put the jacket on and the two hopped on to Carlos’ motorcycle.  Shortly after, they were headed back toward Masamune City.
