Give me your honest opinion on Mondo and Rantaro 👀👀👀
Oo okay (I'm so sorry that this has been sitting in my ask box for so long)
Mondo:
Favorite Thing: I love it when the big intimidating characters like smaller animals. Like you think this guy would like Pitbulls or Rottweilers or something, but nope. Also, I would kill for his jacket, it looks so cool!
Least Favorite Thing: This is difficult for me, I don't necessarily hate anything about his character (other than his hair, he's all you would be getting from me if I could draw his fucking hair). I guess that he's a little quick to choose violence, poor Chihiro (and Makoto). Definitely chapters 1 and 2 Fuyuhiko vibes.
Favorite Line: He has so many funny lines in the anime but I'm gonna stick to the game. Going through his voice lines, he's so fucking useless during the trials but he has a lot of funny back-and-forths with other characters. I like the one at the beginning of the first trial where him and Taka go back and forth a little bit. "Don't be a goddamn idiot. Why the hell would they raise their hand?"
BrOTP: Already said him and Leon for Leon's. I would love to see him interact more with Sakura and Aoi, though. Maybe they can teach him there are better ways to release your anger. Okay, maybe Sakura can teach both of them that lesson.
OTP: Ishimondo is an obvious one, absolute sucker for enemies to lovers. Though he mentions that he yells when talking to someone he has a crush on iirc and homie is always yelling so I am inclined to believe that he's had at least the passing thought of "oh, they're attractive/cool" with all of his classmates whether he likes it or not (bisexual struggles ig)
NOTP: Idk, I don't really like victim x blackened ships, so Chihiro, I guess. They can be besties, though
Random Headcanon: iirc in his graduation event, he tells Makoto he'll build a house for him once they get out, so I like to think he's a yes-man when it comes projects. You make an offhand comment about needing more storage? Bam! He's on your doorstep the next day with a homemade chest to keep all your shit in. His love language is definitely gift giving.
Unpopular Opinion: His and Rantaro's are going to be similar, but the butter jokes get old after seeing it constantly (admittedly, I am guilty for making these jokes when I first joined the fandom and I still make some out of habit every now and then). Jokes about his hair are always welcome, though.
Song I Associate With Them: I haven't thought about this too too much so these are off the top of my head. Bad Bad Things by AJJ, Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths, and Shit by Bo Burnham
Favorite Image: I couldn't find it, but I think it's like a promotional art or something where it's just a bunch of characters sitting around, and he's just like patting Taka on the head. Very cute 10/10 (I pray you guys know what image I'm talking about). Also this one is so funny
Tumblr media
Rantaro:
Favorite Thing: He's so cryptic, and it's so good. He doesn't give us shit in the time he's around (minus FTEs), and I love it!
Least Favorite Thing: I don't dislike anything about him personality or writing wise tbh. His side profile haunts my nightmares, though.
Favorite Line: I would go with the classic "You wanted this killing game, so you have to win no matter what" but instead I'm going with "I was just thinking, what you said back there would have pissed off whoever's running this. They definitely don't want us holding hands, workin' together...They're going to come for you, Kaede. With everything they've got. I'm a little worried about you. You're just so...straightforward." Rantaro is secretly the Ultimate Clairvoyant lol
BrOTP: Him and Kaede are mlm and wlw solidarity and you cannot convince me otherwise.
OTP: I don't really ship him with anyone, but I really liked his Salmon Mode with Shuichi
NOTP: Him and Tsumugi, hands down
Random Headcanon: I like to think he is constantly dying his hair. It's just a faded green because he hasn't been able to redo it for two seasons, and he's going insane because of it.
Songs I Associate Them With: I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire by Kerrin Connoly and Ship in a Bottle by fin
Unpopular Opinion: The fucking avocado thing. Like, I don't mind comparing characters to things, but it gets annoying.
Favorite Image: NO LOOK OUT

Hi hun! I saw you write oneshots, and I wanted to request one for Fate, if that’s alright? Something about Riven with a reader (maybe a water fairy?) who’s every bit as stubborn as he is, and it kind of goes from enemies to lovers. Like, they can’t stand each other at first, but then end up getting closer and stuff. And literally everyone else already sees where this is going and they don’t know whether to find it adorable or be annoyed by all the mutual pining. You get the idea lol.
Feel free to ignore this if you’re busy, but thanks already! Hope you have a lovely day/night <3
Hi, I would love to! I hope you enjoy!
-----
You hated him, with your whole heart. The way he was parading like the whole school was his, his smirk and that arrogant walk he had, you hated it all.
As you were walking to your next class, you saw him. Riven. He was a Specialist and best friends with Sky, who was dating Bloom, who was kinda your best friend. You sighed and ignored him. Because of that, you didn't saw him glancing quickly towards you before heading to the classroom. As you walked in, a new surprise awaited you.
The teacher stood behind her desk and was deviding everyone into pairs.
"Ah, Y/N there you are! You can form a pair with Riven."
"What?", you exclaimed.
She was kidding, right?
"Is there a problem?"
"No, miss," you answered through gritted teeth.
You made your way to your table and already saw Riven seated, with the usual grin on his face.
"Hello love."
"Don't call me that," you hissed angrily.
"We are going to have so much fun together," he grinned sarcastically.
Over the weeks, you tried to avoid him as much as possible and you only talked to him when it was absolutely necessary. Now was one of those moments.
You were standing in the grass, with folded arms. Riven was lying down, with a joint between his fingers.
"You know you're supposed to do your part of the task, do you?"
"We still have time, love."
"The deadline is due midnight!", you yelled.
"So? That means there's still time."
"God, I hate you!"
"I hate you too," he grinned.
"I swear to God, if you mess this up I'll kill you!", you snapped.
"That'll be fun."
That was the final strap for you. You jerked the joint out of his hands and looked down on him, furious.
"Do you want to say something, love?"
"I hope you burn in hell."
He didn't answer right away, which gave you enough time to grab your stuff and walk back to the building. Once you were in your room, a frustrated yell filled the room.
"Is everything okay, Y/N?", Bloom asked.
"No! He's a freaking nightmare and I hate him so much!"
"Riven?", she guessed.
"Yes! He's a total piece of shit and doesn't do anything for our group projects!"
"Did you confront him about it?"
"Yes, and he doesn't fucking care!"
You sighed deeply and fell onto your bed. You heard Bloom laughing and looked up, confused.
"What are you laughing about?"
"It's so obvious!"
"What is?"
"That the two of you are falling in love!", she exclaimed.
"Are you on drugs?"
"No, I'm not," she giggled.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
You shook your head en laid down on your bed. Bloom was definitely doing drugs.
A few minutes before midnight, a shook at my shoulder woke you up. Groggily, you opened your eyes.
"What the fuck, Riven?"
You were wide awake when you saw him sitting at the edge of your bed. He was wearing sweats and looked extremely calm.
"How the hell did you get in?"
"Sky has a spare key."
"What do you want? I want to sleep," you moaned irritatedly.
"I want to tell you I did my part of the task."
"And that couldn't wait till tomorrow morning?"
He grinned sheepishly and looked a bit uneasy.
"I also wanted to see you."
"Why?", you asked.
"I don't really know. Just a gut feeling I guess."
"Are you high?"
He shook his head.
"You sure?"
"Positive."
"Then explain why you're here."
"Because you make me feel something I haven't felt in a long time."
"Which is?"
"Feeling alive, I guess. I want to feel that more often, even if that means getting along with you."
"Riven, you're really not making any sense," you sighed.
"I know, Y/N. I really do. Can I just kiss you please?"
What the actual fuck? That question overwhelmed you so much, you weren't able to answer. Riven took that as a sign and leaned forward, to press his lips on yours.
To your surprise, it felt good and almost familiar, like he had kissed you tons of times before.

LEONA, JADE, FLOYD, ROOK’s ↷
reaction when S/O gets jealous and protective
Tumblr media
notes: I notice us writers mostly write about—usually the canon male/female—being dominant and the other party is timid and shy, while I love that concept and idea since I’m a submissive bitch myself, I feel like we should get more S/O or reader who gets protective and goes grr
: gender-neutral reader!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
So there’s this crazy bitch who’s all over Leona ever since he was fucking born
They’re from a neighboring country and have been obsessed with Leona when they first saw him (honestly same) and as much as Leona didn’t want to admit it felt like heaven to attend Night Raven College because they’re AWAY from him
Magift is a nightmare because it’s open for everyone from everywhere to attend so he had already expected them
He planned to ignore them and steers clear of them as usual but they were extra persistent today
If they’re a guy Leona would have no problem scaring them away with a growl and possible threats
If they’re a girl though, it’s not going to be easy for Leona since he was raised to treat females with respect but then again, he knows that she does not deserve it
He also knows that you’re seething with anger
Your crossed arms while shifting your weight from side to side showed your frustration and impatience for them to get off
At this point he’d try harder and uses more of his energy to deal with them (he was a little lazy before) and tell them to go away but they just kept clinging and clinging
Leona’s eyes widened when you shoved them away, hard but not hard enough to make them fall on the ground and scrape their knee, just enough to keep them away
Your own arms wrapped around his and you stuck close, head resting on his shoulder, nuzzling your nose against his neck or trail your fingers a little lower on his waist than usual, anything to send the message across as you stare boredly at the ever persistent troublesome person
“Piss off.”
Normally people would get embarrassed/awkward after this and they’d leave but if they’re still on about it, pull Leona in for a kiss
A long, deep and passionate kiss from you sends him off the edge as he grabs you, smirking slightly at your behavior and also at the outsider staring at the both of you furiously
Will never let you forget this because he teases you almost everyday about this
If you're naturally a timid and shy person it's gonna be hell for you, because Leona is going to tease you ten times more
"Hey remember that time when you-" You smacked his head, hard.
"I don't regret it though, they were too close and I don't like it." Your adorable pout and red blush from his teasings only made his grin wider, and his heart racing faster
Proud of his herbivore, 100/10, would definitely want to see you getting protective again
Tumblr media
JADE LEECH
They shamelessly flirted with him in Mostro Lounge, right in front of you
Constantly asking for Jade's assistance, ordering more and more just to have Jade serve them and if he's not available, they'll throw a tantrum
Of course Jade know about boundaries, he'd never want to make his lover upset, but then again, he's also curious as to what you'll do
Will you sit there and watch? Pout and wait for them to finally go away when Mostro Lounge closes? Be extra clingy with him afterwards? Silently cursing them? Or will you choose the popular trope of getting back at him by being physically close to another person?
Whatever you chose, he sure did not expect you to have a smile on your face as you call out to him, you are sitting just two seats away from them on the stool, so it is fairly easy to catch his attention without you trying to desperately cut off the one-sided conversation
You did what they couldn't. Holding his hand loosely as you talked about something semi-private (?)
"Hey, Jade. Where did I put my clothes again? That cream colored one. I know it's in your room but is it on the bed or bathroom? Have you seen it? Gotta go check it later..." To indicate that you've been to his room, countless of times
"Ah! I think you left your jacket in my room. Be sure to take it back before you go back to your dorm, okay?"
While Jade watches you and reply with an amused expression
This got them clenching fists and gritting teeth, and Jade can't exactly ignore them when they call for him since they're a customer, even if he's enjoying this a lot
You'd also pull on your clothes, kind of like flapping them when you're hot—even though it's quite chilly in Mostro Lounge—just to show them the bite marks Jade left the day before
*Thought I'd put this out just in case anyone misunderstands, y'all didn't have sex lmao because Jade is under 18, but he does leave bite marks every now and then ;)
When he does get away from their conversation and goes to you, like with Leona, you'd linger your hands a little lower on his waist than usual, or brush the bite marks you left that escaped the covers of his shirt collar
Nevertheless, expect Jade shaking his head when Mostro Lounge finally closes and them finally gone, though he can't hide the smile on his face
"My, my, I never knew you'd get to this point to drive them away."
He will forever remember this moment and the act you've pulled, truly memorable
Tumblr media
FLOYD LEECH
The basketball team is having a friendly match with another school and the other school's team happen to have a manager
And man were they PERSISTENT
Offering to refill NRC's water bottles too when they went to refill for their own school's
Of course you're thankful for their help and thought it was out of pure kindness, but when their fingers brush over Floyd's for a little too long to hand him his water bottle and stays longer with Floyd than with other basketball players you knew something was wrong
Are they hitting on Floyd???
Ace and Jamil picked up on it and glances over you, with Ace shit talking about them and "If they're gonna do it, at least try to do it right." while criticizing their lame flirting skills and Jamil disapproving of their actions when Floyd clearly has a lover
Even if they're from another school, saying you didn't know is a lame excuse, not with how painfully different Floyd is with you than with others, it was obvious you two are together
Floyd, of course, is not dumb and oblivious and he is beyond annoyed at their constant touches and babblings he had no intention to listen to
Before Floyd could threaten to squeeze them to death, you're wrapping arms around his figure and called them out on their antics
"Don't you have your own team to attend to? Stop flirting with my boyfriend, he's not interested, take a sign."
Ace spit out his water and choked (yes he laughed)
Poor student scurried back to their own team's side and stayed there, as they should
Floyd would not care about attention as he picked you up in his arms, hugging you tightly and nuzzling close to you
"Shrimpyyy~! I love this side of you! Why haven't I seen it before?"
He probably already forgot about that student's existence as he only thinks of your jealous gazes and protective arms around him
Expect him to ask you to act like that again randomly, being all brave and calling people out, he loves this side of you!
Tumblr media
ROOK HUNT
Rook is a social butterfly and will talk to anyone in anywhere
Much like Jade, he never intended to hurt his lover and upset them, but he's itching to know what you'll do. He has extremely good eyesight and knew you were close by, listening in to their conversation, possibly with a frown
Ah, a frown on your lips. That's not a sight he'd want to see! But the urge to reveal what kind of moves you'd make is stronger, so he refrained from walking away and chatted on
A smile played on his lips as he watches you stomp over, not sparing a glance to the other person as you locked your arms around his waist, tightly, then began to attempt to lift him up
...it didn't work
You didn't have enough strength so instead of lifting him over your shoulder (like what Rook usually do) you grabbed his gloves hand and dragged him away
Rook was certainly surprised, a big grin on his face as he laughed his heart out, bidding goodbye to the random student who had their mouth wide open
This only made you tug on his arm harder as an annoyed grunt and groan escaped you
When you looked back to them and sent a glare, that's when he lost it
He's sure he fell in love with you even more
When the two of you are alone he'd have your cheeks in his hands, staring at you lovingly, your squishy cheeks, furrowed brows and pouting lips are just too cute for him!
He will assure you that he will never do this again not telling you he was doing it on purpose to see what you'll do because you'll probably hate him his sweet words would surely calm you down
If you ever see Rook suddenly having a smile on his lips, you know that he's thinking about this incident again, and it freaks Vil out

I'm from a different dimension actually Chapter 8 Damian x reader
Tumblr media
The school is shut down for a week ironically because of an attack by The Joker and Two-Face, that Robin and his team took down. The teachers sent out a notice with homework attached and told us to stay inside. Nightmare came back somewhere in the morning I couldn't tell the time because I apparently fell asleep along with Boy Wonder before the end of season 1 of The Highlander. I gently placed him down on the couch, gotten dressed, and made some breakfast, I only had eggs so I made some scrambled and put them on a plate for him and me. Nightmare got the last of the bacon. I put a plate over Robins while I ate mine sitting at the small table in the kitchen going over my homework. Sadly I finished my homework before my eggs and they have gone cold. I silently morn my eggs eating the cold carcass. "You stare any harder at that screen and you might break it." I jump, my head shoots upwards and I sigh, but then my eyes drop on my cat. My jaw drops the furball is purring in the arms of a masked stranger who is petting his head. Robin was petting my cat holding him like a baby and the demon is purring. Robin still had his eyes, and limbs not even a bite mark was seen on his skin.
"You traitor, you barely know him." I playful scold the feline, he meows nuzzling his face in Robin's chest.
"Your monster seems friendly."
"Nightmare looks like he's been introduced to catnip."
"Just a few scratches here and there." He smirks taking a seat next to me."Thank you for breakfast."
"Mhm." I turn back to the screen, "Will you be going back today Robin?"
"I might."
"Hmm." I finish the last problem for today closing the device, "Well I have to go to work, your welcome to stay if you want." I smooth out my clothes tossing one last look at the melting ball of fur. I quirk an eyebrow but move out to the door. I stop Halfway through the doorway and look back putting on my meanest face. "If you break a single window in my home I will find where ever you are and break you. Bye Nightmare, love you, I'll be back in a few hours."
_____________________________________________________________
"Nightmare! I'm back!" my keys skitter across the floor but no black fur is seen. He's still in the arms of Robin though it's not Robin, Green eyes. My stomach sinks and my mouth goes dry. "Damian?" His is just as much shock as me, he puts down Nightmare and rushes to me the door slams behind me. And I'm being dragged then forced to sit, his hands grip my shoulders. "Your early, why did you arrive early, you not supposed to be back for another half hour." I hardly heard him, I scold myself now realizing the obvious. Why else would Nightmare feel comfortable around him he had been here before multiple times noticed how I treated Damian and that's why he was a purring mess in his arms. I said be nice to him when he was over not Robin, but of course, they smell the same Nightmare associated with both people. I should have spotted it sooner, the voice, the height, the tone of his speech. Dear God, I can mom telling how oblivious, like she did when she won Clue. It was right there, he asked the right question and baited me for answers. I don't know why this is a shock to me. Now that I think of it I have to stop myself from laughing
"What the hell," my voice quivers. "Damian, Damian Wayne. You help Gotham." I start snickering, pulling my hand over my face. I throw my head back laughing then fall over to the side. "Nightmare you knew didn't you! Haha, that's why you were you were melting like butter."
"Your laughing!"
"Did you assume I wouldn't!" I wheeze, my breath nearly coming out to form words. "I can imagine you fighting, but saving people that's something else entirely."
"Do you think so little of me?" He sounds disappointed.
"I don't mean it to offend you but what else can I say. I didn't expect this." I sit up, clearing my throat and looking him dead in the eye. "Can I just call you Damian now, or do I still have to you different names."
"Why aren't you more surprised?"I Smile sadly.
"I thought you would have read up on me, do you know who killed my parents that day at home." He stiffens, he opens his mouth but continues. "My Father's sister, my aunt, killed them both during dinner. All because my mother wouldn't let her see those journals you asked about. After that it many people took off their masks."
"That's all it took?"
"What should it take, she killed her own brother because she didn't get confidential knowledge. To be honest, I don't really care anymore."
"You need professional help." I shrug.
"Probably, but getting sessions is expensive and I don't enjoy answering "and how are you feeling?" questions. I had enough of that already from everyone else."
"Where's your brother, Emil?" I feel myself frown.
"He's with someone I trust, I can't tell you who, sorry."
"The file says you died, you also made a miraculous recovery, recovery from what?"
"I prefer not to answer that question, It's rather personal." I don't want to explain that either, I know the doctor was shocked to see me come back. They had to call the professor to have him take me and my brother. After that this entire fiasco.
"You know I'll find out either way."
"Listen, I don't know how I made it, I was tortured by my she who will not be named and left for dead. I prayed for anyone and everyone who would hear me, someone did, the police found me and I was rushed to the hospital. I decided to take a nap, and I woke up to the sound of Emil crying. He cried, even more, when I woke up, screaming even, the good doctor nearly fainted. I was plugged into wires of all sorts, and my uncle was holding a plug, I assume he pulled, tackled me. My body lit up in pain and felt like I was run over, the next I am separated from my family and rushed into a place where they check on me every three months. At least I got to choose the place, they pay for the school, and I cover everything else." I give in, it feels nice to tell someone, something even if it's not the whole truth. But it seems to shut him up. "Please don't go looking for Emil, they haven't caught my aunt yet. I don't know if she's looking for them next, I would prefer not to stand over another grave knowing she got them too." I stare at him gauging his reaction, his face is still stone, unmoving in the uncomfortable silence. I pick up Nightmare, who has been rubbing against my leg for a bit, and scratch his head as he wants.
"Fine, I won't push further but I have terms."
"Really?" What would he need terms for?
"1, you don't reveal my identity to anyone. 2, you will not acknowledge that you know my family’s identities. 3, I come whenever I like as Robin or as Damian. 4, I add terms whenever I please."
"Why would I agree to any of that? I'm the one who has your identity." He smiles.
"Because I will tell Batman this information, and he doesn't talk as kindly to people hiding something. You obviously still are, but for now, I'll let it slide I'm sure by now you've decided to watch the news, so you know what he does." I gulp, I did see his more recent victim and he looked traumatized.
"Alright fine, but I binge so if you fall asleep tough luck, I'm not going back."
"Fine," he reaches back and pulls out his mask which he puts back on, walking out to the kitchen. "I back in a bit, pull out your couch bed while I'm gone. I will be staying here a while." I get up after him.
"Hey, that offer is for when I thought you were some homeless bums who fights crime, gets money from villain's wallets. You have a perfectly good bed at home!" He turns back one foot on the railing and a grappling hook in hand. "Term 6, I will stay as long as I like." he jumps off like before, not giving me a chance to speak.
"Bastard! I need my alone time!" He's gone I don't even know if he heard me. I grumble pulling out the spare sheets and blankets to set up the bed. "He better be paying rent, smug rich kid."
"Meow." Nightmare looks over at the window Robin left of.
"Yes, he's coming back."
"Meow"
"No, I'm not going tell him, not until I have to."
"Merrow"
"Shut up." I kick the side of the couch holding the two large cushions that lay on it, the bed springs out and makes a satisfying thud on the floor. "Go and see if the data has finished downloading, then put it back in the box I'll make you something in a how you feel about tuna our downstairs grandparents gave me a can."
_____________________________________________________________
The sheets are made, the cat is fed and now I am going over how I was going to cover for another person. How much would he eat, can he survive on pastries, ramen, and eggs. How long was he staying, would his family come asking about him seeing as he was here before. At both times, when he broke my window, and when they came for coffee.
"Hey, open the door." The voice is cold but still recognizable. I get up slowly taking my time getting there along with opening the door. He hurries in, dressed in some normal-ish clothes that still look expensive, but he still dressed like he came out of a photo shoot. He not only has a suitcase but some grocery bags, I frown at those. He seems to notice because he forgets his suitcase and charges into the kitchen. "Hey!"
"Y/N I am not eating ramen and eggs for god knows how long. I will cook a decent meal and you will have something healthy."
"How did you know I only had eggs and ramen?"
"I went through your fridge," He places a bag of tomatoes in the bottom drawer where I see green onions and various other veggies.
"I make stir-fry once a month, you have bought enough greens and reds to make that for two weeks. I don't even have rice."
"You don't like it when people spend money on you, do you?"
"I don't need other people's money," He opens his mouth, but I stop him raising a finger cutting him off. "And before you mention Molly, she remains the exception. Not that me telling her not to stops her."
"And why is that." He stops putting the food in the fridge.
"Because I've been friends with her longer," I look back at his bags and frown. "How long do you plan on staying again."
"For as long as I please."
"Won't they come looking for you? Your family I mean, the Detective stops by almost every day."
"Grayson won't be a problem, I left them a trail that leads to several other places." He stuffs the last of the food in the fridge, getting up and looking out the balcony window. "Should take a long while." I can hear the smugness in his voice.
"Your happy you tricked your brothers aren't you." He turns around forcing himself to frown but the corners of his lips twitch.
"Ho, you're a bastard Wayne."
"You're really gonna curse me?"
"You didn't tell me I couldn't Damian." I grab my computer and open Hulu putting on Star Trek; Next-generation where I left off. "Hope you enjoy space adventure, because I'm not starting this over its seven seasons and 4 movies. I'm halfway through season 3, if you want context just ask." I glance up signaling that I am waiting for a response, he leans on the wall in front of my kitchen. I can't read his face, but his face of neutral displeasure wasn't much better. "So, your done feeling good about yourself, or is there something else you need."
"It's been something I've been wondering for a while now, those iridescent pieces you fed me."
"Part of my mother's work." Not a complete lie,
"Was that what those missing journals about?"
"No." More of a lie but not wrong. He groans anyway, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Man, you really like to cut in deep and waste time. Just come here and watch some Star Trek with me I need someone else to groan in pain about Counselor Troy's and Will Riker's on and off slow burn romance." Begrudgingly he walks over plopping down next to me.
"Your tastes in tv are odd."
"You have no idea, my tastes in something go everywhere, after this and Highlander I have several old cartoons next. First, I might have to gather what you know about the Quack pack, Goof troop, Ducktales, and all that pizazz. Though I have a feeling that you would like Darkwing Duck more, or it could possibly be too relatable." He gives me a look.
"How could I relate to a duck?"
"We are a long way from that now, at the moment we must bear witness to Captain Picard and his adventures commanding the USS Enterprise."
"Has anyone told you how unbelievably weird you are?"
"Sir, you have entered my life for what looks to be the long run. You will experience the kind of weirdness only Molly has ever seen. But now that you are basically my roommate you might see more." I pat his shoulder. "So, buckle up, because this is now you've got a seat on this roller-coaster, and you can't get off till the car reaches a complete stop. Now can we please get back to the show I want to see some cosmic action?"
_____________________________________________________________
"Was that a statement or a question?"
"He can achieve the perception of feeling with a chip that goes into his hyper-advanced brain, lets his brother take it but can't make his own."
"I lent you my computer to catch up to where I left off for one night and that's what you're hung upon."
"Yes," his eyes look serious while he shoves some oatmeal in his mouth. "You are the one who can't stand the slow burn."
"Touche."
Before we got to the last season, Damian had asked he could see the rest of the show before the finally. I didn't expect that he would binge because it was a weekend, he even made extensive notes on character weakness. He still went out on patrol every night but came back with no one tailing him. That's what he says at least. He looks tired, with bags under his eyes and just lacking energy altogether.
"While I'm at work please go to sleep, you look like you fought an energy vampire and lost."
"I wouldn’t have lost to a vampire, they’re not that hard to kill.”
“But they drink blood they need to get close; energy vampires are more psychic they don’t even have to be a real monster.” He stops eating/
“How so?”
“They could be emotionally, physically, and mentally draining people. You know like Deity Skimmer, the girl in our science class. You can’t kill the energy-sucking vibes she gives off, can you.” He snorts behind his hand.” I mean it, even creatures of the night need sleep.” I drop my dishes off in the sink. I walk off to the door putting on my boots, I hear the chair slide and I feel his judging eyes digging holes in the back of my skull.
“Once again your conditions said nothing about teasing you, suck it up.” He scoffs. “I’ll be back around 5, don’t break any more windows while I’m gone.” I close the door before I hear any remarks once more about the incident. Though I laugh to myself, I straighten out my outfit and head down to the wonderful smells of the coffee shop. I walk slowly down the stairs looking out to the crowd that had been seated in the lounge. My managers were out by the couches talking to one of the regulars. Pull me behind the counter and relieve my coworker Meg, she looks exhausted and excuses herself. She takes what I assume is her coffee and puts away her apron and rushes out the door. I finish out what she didn’t clean and wait for anyone to come up to the counter. *Ring* though it is loud I hear the bell for the door ring.
“I’ll be with you in just a moment, I need to clean the nozzle here.”
“That’s fine, I can wait.” I flinch but catch myself, so it looks like I flicked something. I turn around with the best smile I can pull off. The sleep-deprived brother of Damian, peers at me from under his hair a frown tugging on his face.
“Oh hey! You came here with detective Grayson last time. Is there anything you would like?”
“Coffee.”
“Any particular kind?”
“Anything that will keep me from sleeping on this counter.” He knocks on the surface twice.
“I Can recommend our D&D potion bottle, it’s a personal favorite of the owners.”
“Why not, how much?” He fumbles around for his pockets, I stop him.
“How about, I make get it for you, and then you pay.” He brings his hands back on the counter and nods.
“I will only be a few minutes, please make yourself comfortable.” I pull out the ingredients for our powerful concoction, the pho fried ice cream, a large potion bottle with a straw, and 20-sided dice. I place the potion bottle in front of him and the ice cream but hand him the dice. He stares at the shiny plastic unmoving.
“I would roll that.” He does what I say and lands on a nine. “Well, sir after this one you can either have another potion or chose two desserts of any kind from our display or menu.” He takes a sip from the straw rather slow; his eyes perk up a bit.
“How Much did you say this was?”
“Oh! That will be $9.23?” He pulls out the exact amount, and I put it away in the register, placing it in the compartment marked D&D.
“And I would like another one of these to go.”
“Sure, would you like it now or before you go?”
“Well now should be nice, I’m leaving in just a bit.” I pull out a cup that is relatively the same size as the potion bottle. I go to give him his cup and notice that he finished the bottle and ice cream. Confusion hits me, but I don’t stare too long to turn to clean the mess. “Have you seen Damian at all?” And there it was.
“No, not since the Gala? Did something happen?”
“There was a…disagreement so he ran out, but if you see him,” He handed me a piece of paper with a string of numbers and an email. “Tell me. That is my number and email.” He does not say anymore and walks out the door, the bell signaling his departure.
_____________________________________________________________
When I got back, I told Damian what happened, he isn’t pleased and is currently pacing the floor.
“My guess is that he knows.” I sigh over my tea and stare sadly at the replaced window.
“No doubt.”
“You know I was rather hoping not to be having another visit from the Batman. What will happen when they find out that I know about the caped crusader thing.”
“He’ll either force into secrecy, turn you into a child crusader, or confine you to the manor.”
“So in other words no privacy.”
“None.”
“As lovely as that would be you told me this was temporary, so why can’t you go back?”
“At the Gala I was supposed to keep you entertained at the table so that we could trap you into to talking about those journals.” I knew it.
“So, you lied to me.” I look at him, faking shock and betrayal.
“It was for the sake of the investigation; I didn’t think that I would end up-.” He examines my expression and face palms. “What’s wrong with you.”
“I like to call it “I laugh in the face of danger” Syndrome, in a moment of despair I crave comedy.”
“You're worse than Grayson.”
“I like him, so I’ll let this one slide.” I sip the warm liquid feeling soothed at the pumpkin spice. “What are you going to do now?” Nightmare jumps on the table noticing my concern and waiting for his answer from me. He walks to the corner where he put his bag then went to the closet pulling out my suitcase. He then grabs his outfit Robin outfit from the coat rack and his other materials. “Get packed, we’re leaving. I’ll grab Nightmare’s things gab whatever you need. And I mean need, don’t pick it up unless it’s necessary.”
“What? I can’t just leave, what about my job? School?!” He Pulls out my backpack and puts some food in it. “Damian!”
“Just trust me, I’ll take care of it! I don’t want you tangled up in my family’s nonsense.” He looks at me something odd swirling in his eyes. “Please.”
“Fine,” I grab my suitcase and pack my box and my compiece which hasn’t gotten back to me on its progress. I throw a few sets of clothes. I open the box to make sure the journals, the scales, and everything else, then I hide it under the clothing and my laptop in the front pocket. I thank myself for making sure to get a suitcase that has a double use as a backpack. In the living room, Damian is all packed the bag is strapped across his chest and he’s holding Nightmare.
“Let’s go.” He hands me Nightmare and pulls me to the balcony. He pulls out and belts with a ring pultruded out on one side swiftly put it around me connecting the loop to his belt. “Hold on tight, and don’t let go till I tell you.” I Sling an arm around him and grip on to Nightmare, he doesn’t hesitate and shoots across the balcony with his grappling gun. I screw my eyes shut. And wait to stop, my heart beats wildly in my chest Nightmare begins purring maybe in hopes to soothe me. I feel something wrong, but it would mean I was away from the Crows. I’m running again, even if it’s not me who chose this it still feels wrong. Because in the direction he’s going it seems that we were leaving Gotham. And for some reason, I feel like it would be a while before I returned.

Pairing: Daryl Dixon X Reader
Word count: 3 K
Summary: Daryl found you surrounded by the dead, stuck in the backseat of a car. You were wishing for death to take you away for quite a while now, but, as you slid back and forth into consciousness, there was only one thing keeping you alive. Him, the man with blue, worried eyes and kind voice. Your beaten up body was ready to give up, too wounded and broken to keep going. But this man, who went out of his way to save your life is the only thing in the world holding you up. And, because of him, you feel something you haven't felt in a very long time: hope. Wherever he's taking you, you want to get there, and not only to be buried. For what it feels like the very first time, you want to live. He takes you back to Alexandria, but even there, the nightmares and the terror from all the torture and pain you've been through keeps creeping closer, and Daryl, your hero, is the only one who can keep that all away.
Warnings: Mentions and description (not graphic) of past abuse; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); some violence at the end of the story (a little bit graphic, but not so much); blood.

I want to thank my awesome friend @jodiereedus22, who helped me (and still does) a lot to get this story done. She's also a writer and she's amazing so please go check her work!!
×
If You Love Me...
You've seen death. Often, cruel, cold. From afar and from up close. You felt it, in many different ways. At first when your family passed away, then your friends... And you felt it in your body too, in the months you spent held captive, wishing for it. And in the car, as you waited for it.
But it's different now. You were holding onto Melanie when she stopped moving, stopped breathing, the second after the baby cried for the very first time. Her whole body went numb, turned off. She knew her pregnancy was dangerous. Melanie is old, and she had a heart condition. That was the reason why she never tried for a baby before. But now, with the world on its end, she decided to try. Death is certain, she told you once, and if she died in the process of delivering her child, she'd die happy. With a purpose.
But of course, you never thought it would actually happen.
The commotion that followed happened in a blur. Carol passed you the child in a hurry, pushing you out of the room.
You know what happens now. Daryl told you a while ago. Everyone who dies comes back. Everyone is infected. You try not to think about it, to focus on life instead of death.
And that's what you're holding in your arms now. Life. Tiny and fresh, his little cries making your body move out of instinct, slowly swinging from side to side until he's quiet again.
When it's done, and Melanie's dead body won't raise up again, Carol comes and you help her clean the baby. Luke, after her late husband. Denise is quick to gather all the baby supplies needed, and she starts telling you and Carol what to do. Carol already knows, of course, because of her daughter Sofia.
It's quite obvious Carol will take care of the child. It's implied by how Denise is so focused on her, talking fast, gesturing a lot. She's a little funny actually, and easy to talk to. Once little Luke is clean and dressed in his first clothes, in a pale shade of blue, Carol picks him up and he starts crying, with powerful lungs. She starts mumbling, talking to the baby, but he doesn't stop.
“Alright, alright.” She whispers. “Shh.”
“Does he need anything?” You ask, watching as Carol bounces him slowly.
“We did everything. Maybe he's in pain.” Denise removes some of the hair that has fallen on her face. “Let's take him to the infirmary so I can take a look.”
“Ok.” Carol agrees, raising her voice above the baby's cries. “(Y/N), can you carry him? These bags are too heavy for you and–” You quickly step forward, once again welcoming the baby into your arms “–you still need to be careful with your...” Her voice fades as Luke stops crying, his tears shining on his cheeks.
He's so light you feel like you're barely holding anything. “He stopped,” Denise mutters. “I don't think he was in pain.”
Looking down at the baby, you stand there, motionless. “What do you think it was?” You ask in a low voice.
“Uhm, I don't know. Maybe he likes you.” She mumbles, hands on her hips. “Carol, do you think you can take care of him? If not we'll have to find a family willing to adopt.”
“We can.” You burst out, because suddenly the idea of giving Like into another family sounds absurd. “Can we? I'm sure you can teach me and I'll help.”
“We sure can.” She affirms, and you smile. “Let's get going now. They will soon come to bury Melanie.” Her voice gets darker in the end, heavier.
The whole city attempted to Melanie's funeral. You stood there, beside Carol, little Luke in your arms. You felt anxious when some people came to meet the baby, offering you their condolences and any help you might need now. But eventually, she's buried, and you can't help but let a few tears roll down. Melanie was always kind and wise, and it breaks your heart that Luke won't get to know his mother.
In the next days, Carol has been teaching you everything about babies. Teaching you how to look after him. The baths, how to prepare the baby bottle, how to deal with fevers, and stuff like that. You make a hell lot of questions, eager to know every single thing you can.
Your days revolve around Luke, what is good because you don't have time to think about Daryl and the possibility of him not wanting anything with you. The possibility that those warm nights in his arms are over.
Carol helps you get into a good schedule with the baby. You take turns waking up when he starts crying at night, but despite him growing used to Carol, she takes longer to rock him to sleep again. Luke feels better around you, she says. And honestly, you don't mind one bit. Carol assures you the cryings will get worse. Newborn babies sleep a lot, and with time, he'll need less sleep and that's when things will get hectic. But you're ok with it. You're mesmerized by him, so tiny, so innocent. A beacon of light in such a dark world. It's like a miracle to have a baby here, in an Earth where now the dead can walk again.
As the days pass by, you notice that you easily learn your way with Luke. Carol calls it mother instinct, but you never thought you had it in you... You never really thought about kids, but now... Maybe you could have one...
This thought reminds you of Daryl. Having a baby means you'll have to be very intimate with someone. And you can't imagine being intimate with anyone who isn't Daryl. Sighing, you look through the window of Luke's bedroom. It used to be Daryl's, but since he's sleeping in yours, Carol thought it would be ok to change things. So all of his stuff were reallocated to give Luke his space. Even though he doesn't need much now, being so little.
You haven't told Daryl about it yet. Your talks are always brief, just enough for you to know he's alright and for him to know you're alright as well.
Today, another sweet and slow morning, you're at the couch, a sleepy Luke in your arms. Carol is doing the dishes and getting some stuff ready for lunch. The kids will be coming, so she has something special planned. You'll help her in a few moments when Luke is asleep enough so you can leave him in his crib upstairs.
“I'm going to make cookies for the afternoon. What do you think?” She asks from the kitchen in a low voice.
“The kids will love it.” You say, turning your head to look at her. “When are you going to tell me your secret ingredient?”
“Never, obviously.” She answers and you giggle. “You would have to–” Her voice fades suddenly, and you listen as she puts something down. “Honey, I think they're back.”
“What?” Your heart skips a beat. “Are you sure?”
“Let me check.” She says and walks out, leaving you alone with your thoughts.
Well, not alone. Looking down at Luke, you smile when he moves his hand, grabbing something in his sleep. He's so oblivious to the war happening in your heart now. In your brain. This is it. He's back one day earlier than planned, but even though you knew the time was coming, you couldn't prepare yourself for it. Breathing deeply, you caress Luke's forehead, very lightly as if he's a fragile little thing. His mouth moves a little as if he's trying to speak and you giggle.
“What are you dreaming about, little one?” You ask him, wondering if babies can even dream. Maybe Denise knows, you'll ask her later.
“(Y/N).” His voice startles you, and you immediately look up from Luke, meeting Daryl's blue eyes as he stands by the door.
“D.” Smiling you quickly scan through his body, relieved not to find any sign of injury. “You're back.”
“Aye.” He mumbles. “Ya always have a kid with ya when I come back” He adds, stepping closer to the cough and giving the baby a look. “Who's this?”
“This is Luke. Melanie's baby, she... She couldn't make it.” The happiness fades a little, and Daryl seems a little sad as well.
“Was it her heart?”
“Yeah. It just stopped.” Sighing, you keep your eyes on Daryl. His face softens a little. “She told me once you know... That she'd rather die bringing her child to the world than in any other way but I never thought it would actually happen.”
“Who's gonna take care of him now?”
“I'm the designated mother.” You mumble, smiling.
Daryl looks up from the kid, eyes meeting yours. “By who?” You see a hint of anger in his eyes and you know why. He thinks someone pushed into it, and Daryl hates when people push you into things. Since the very beginning. He did have a fight with Rick when he first showed up here, wanting you to speak about your past. Now it's just a little bit worse. Daryl is very protective, and you can't help but smile to know this hasn't changed. Not yet.
“By him.” Tilting your head to the kid, you giggle when Daryl's face changes, softening again. “Kid likes me, what can I do?”
“Huh.”
“Wanna hold him?”
“Lemme shower. ‘M covered in mud and I don't wanna to give ya or the baby an infection or anythin’.” He says, already moving upstairs.
“Alright.” Settling down again, you bounce Luke a little, but by the looks of it, he's in deep sleep already. “What happens now, little one? Can you please tell me?” In a low voice, you ask him. If only anyone could answer that...
“Where's Daryl?” Carol asks as she comes inside, closing the door.
“Showering.”
“Let me put him in his crib.” She comes to the couch, and you carefully lies Luke in her arms. “You two need to talk.”
“Yeah.” You mutter, watching as she moves upstairs.
You don't want to talk to Daryl. Maybe you shouldn't have spoken to him about your feelings. What if it's too early? Things were perfect before and you don't think you can take it if he wants to... End things? Change things? “Shit.” Quickly, you get up, leaving the house. Running away is not your thing. Not when it comes to Daryl. The only running there is, is when you run into his arms. But now, you just can't. And you don't know where to go. So you just start walking downstreet, trying not to think too much. There isn't anywhere to hide here. If Daryl wants to find you, he will.
“(Y/N)!” Someone calls, and after the usual terror, you recognize Maggie's voice, turning on your heels to look at her. “Daryl's back. Go see him.”
“I-I know.” Stuttering, you look at the street, making sure Daryl isn't anywhere he can see you before you make your way over her. “I just...”
“I thought you two were ok. Before he left I swear to God I thought you'd kiss him.” She climbs down the few steps of the porch, but you gesture for her to go back inside.
“We are.” Maggie has become a close friend. And if you don't talk about this things with someone, nobody will be able to help. “Uhm... I...”
“C'mon in.” She opens the door and steps aside. “Glenn isn't here so don't worry.”
“Ok.” Sighing, you step in, moving to the couch and taking a seat.
“Now...” Maggie comes and sits beside you, a leg folded under herself. “...why aren't you in Daryl's arms right now?”
It's not a secret anymore, Daryl and you. It eventually got out of the house, you don't really know how. “Because I... Goddamn it! I told him I wanted us to be a couple. Right before he left so he could think about it and now I'm terrified of what he'll say and I'm running from him.” You speak fast, hands covering your face. “I freaking love him.”
That's it. The words just came out. You freeze, breathing fast, the weight of the acknowledgment making a few tears roll down. You lie back on the couch, eyes on the ceiling.
“So... Do you want me to act surprised?”
“I want him to love me too.” It comes out as a whisper because this can't be heard by anyone. Not even by Maggie. But that already happened.
“Daryl allowed you to touch him. In public. And he touched you. Again, in public.” Maggie touches your leg, shaking it a little to get your attention, only stopping when you sit up again. “If he didn't love you back, that wouldn't happen.”
“Daryl... May like me. He's very protective and I love that since... Well, since all that shit happened but... Maybe this is it.”
“I don't think so. Daryl always makes sure everyone is safe, but with you it's different.”
Sighing, you wonder if you should believe that. Maybe, if you keep your hopes low, you won't get hurt.
No. You'll get hurt anyways. “I think I should go...”
“Yeah, he'll come here looking for you.”
“Maybe...” Pushing yourself back at your feet, you take a deep breath. “I'll... Take a walk.”
“You know he'll find you, right?” She says, following you to the front door.
“I know... Thanks, Maggie.” Smiling at her, you walk away, always careful in the steps before heading to the garden on the West side of the city.
There are some people here, not much though, but you still keep a distance. By the wall, there's a small square, if you can call it that, with some benches and threes. The kids come to play here some days, but it's not their favorite place. Taking a sit, strategically by a three so it'll hide you, you cross your legs. The wind makes you shiver since the thought of bringing a coat didn't even cross your mind. But it's beautiful here, and lonely. Few people come here, and you rather be alone. At least now, to think.
“Never thought ya would run from me.” His voice makes your heart skip a bit, and you do feel a little guilty. You're not sure why though. Silently, you watch as he comes to stand before you.
“I'm not...” You're were running away. No reason to try to dissimulate. “I just needed some time. Thought you would need some too, so...”
“Had plenty of time out there.” Raising your head to look at him, you can't shake the feeling he always brings you. Safety, warmth, home...
“Yeah... But you don't have to... I mean, what I said before, you don't have to...”
“We need ta’ talk. But not here, c'mon.” He reaches out his hand and you take it, pulling yourself up. “Ya need me ta’ carry ya?”
“No, I can walk.” If he's about to end things, the best you can do it put some distance already.
You walk at the fastest pace you can, eager to just end this. To know what happens now and work from there.
The moment you get to the house, Carol leaves, telling you Luke is asleep and he won't be up for a few hours.
So you go back to the couch, sitting down and bracing yourself, preparing for the worst. Daryl sits beside you but doesn't say anything. Bouncing your leg, you curse yourself for what you did. You know Daryl isn't the one to talk about his feelings, and you don't want to push him to.
“I'm sorry for what I said. I shouldn't have–”
“Ya wanna be with me. Why?” He bursts out, and you look at him. Daryl has his elbows on his knees, eyes on the floor.
“Because I–” Are you really gonna say it? Can you tell him that? Isn't it too soon? Or too late? “I really, really like you... More than a friend or a protector.”
“Ya shouldn't. ‘M way older than ya and yer–”
“Daryl, it's not up to you to decide what I should or shouldn't do. Or feel.” Cutting him short, you turn your body towards him, touching his arm, relieved when he finally looks up into your eyes. “I know you think very low of yourself. I'm well aware of the age thing, but I don't care. What I need to know is how you feel about me.” Making a pause, you take a deep breath. This isn't easy, but you have to talk. To somehow make it easier for him, if that's even possible. “It's alright if you don't. I-I know you don't like talking about this, but I just need to know if... If there's anything else... If you feel this way about me too...”
“I like ya, (Y/N).” He says in a very low voice, you can barely hear it. “And ya shouldn't have feelings for me.”
“Daryl...”
“Nah, lemme talk.” He cuts you off, faking an angry tone. Raising an eyebrow, you nod. “Ya shouldn't. Yer... Young an’ pretty an’ I can't ruin ya. Ya deserve someone better than me.”
“I don't want anyone else, Dixon.” It breaks your heart when he talks like that. You wish he could see himself through your eyes. Who he really is, not this messed up an image he has of himself. “And you won't ruin me. I don't even know what you meant by that, but that's not true, Daryl, I... If you want this... If you want me, you won't ruin me. You'll make me very, very happy.”
You're happy you managed to say all that, despite the many pauses and all the stuttering. There is much more to say, but the time will come. For now, everything you need is to know how he feels.
“I think yer making a mistake, but... I've been thinkin’ and... I don't like bein’ away from ya.”
A smile starts making its way to your lips. “Does it mean that...”
“Yeah, I guess it means that.” He affirms, still not wanting to say the words.
“...Are we going to be a couple?” You have to be sure before celebrating it.
“Yeah.”
“Like... boyfriend and girlfriend?”
“Ya need me ta’ drawn it to ya?” He bursts out, an annoyed expression on his face.
Giggling, you raise an eyebrow. You love this side of Daryl and you hope to see more of it. “Sassy Daryl is one of my favorite Daryls.” You say, moving to his lap, straddling his hip. A second later you realize what you did, your cheeks burning. Daryl is red too, and he's not sure what to do with his hands, but you soon feel them on your waist. “So... Oh, I don't know if you noticed but your room was claimed by a newborn child.”
“Yeah, I noticed the crib.”
“So you're now permanently stuck in my bedroom. Hope it's not a problem.” Smiling, you wrap your arms around his neck. You then realize you haven't kissed him yet. And, hell, you want to.
“Not at all.”
“Can I kiss you?” It comes out suddenly, too fast, and you look down, wondering if he can listen to your heart since it's beating insanely fast.
“Ya want to?” He almost stutters, his voice barely a whisper.
“Yeah...” Nodding, you move closer, eyes closing, and your skin burning in anticipation.
You jump to hear the front door opening, head immediately turning to find Carol. Her eyes go wide at the sight of you and Daryl like this...
“I–”
“Carol, I need you to go away. Like right now.” You tell her, urgency in your voice. You don't want the moment to pass, and you just need to kiss him. Right now. It's like a matter of life and death. “Please.” You decide to add.
“Alright, alright.” Raising her hands, she quickly goes upstairs, and you settle down again, hoping Daryl hasn't changed his mind.
“Ok... Can I–”
You feel his lips on yours before you can finish, and you don't mind at all. Pushing yourself closer to him, you deepen the kiss, completely inebriated by him. The pace is slow at first, as if you're getting to know each other, feeling each other, but then it changes, faster, full of need. You get the sensation he doesn't believe this is happening, by the way his arms hold you as if you would disappear. You won't. This is where you want to be, right here, with him.

An AU where Luke was telling the truth about why he left and actually kept in touch with you.
Tumblr media
Pair: Luke/MC Rating: G Word count: 1310 Synopsis: As much as you wanted to believe that nothing was going to change, it was inevitable. There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
Also on AO3.
It was perhaps late spring or early summer. You could remember how your nose was mildly itchy from the pollen as you found him sitting by the windowsill yet again. The breeze had felt warm, and the trees outside were rustling. It was supposed to be just like any other day until you heard the news that Luke will be moving away. In a week, nonetheless. It was surprising, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. Luke has always been a genius. You often teased him for being a nerd (affectionately, of course, to which he'd respond with a pout, and, oh, of course, you just had to pinch his cheek). Why wouldn't the National Central University, the country's top university, want him?
Promises were made. You're free to read Luke's Sherlock Holmes collection that he left at his parents' house. You'd call. You'd keep each other updated, about your lives, about your reading progress on his books, about all the food the capital has to offer. His moving away isn't going to change anything. You'd take good care of yourselves, even without having the other around, even without Luke chasing off any geese who would harass you, even without you apologizing to the grumpy neighborhood grandpa for the ruckus Luke had made. You two were going to be just fine. Right?
As much as you wanted to believe that nothing was going to change, it was inevitable. There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. You know that. You sighed and closed Luke's copy of The Boscombe Valley Mystery. Ever since the age of five, Luke's presence has always been a constant in your life. Now you're left anxiously waiting for him to call.
Luke had told you earlier this morning that he'd be rather busy today, what with all the classes he got, and he's not even done with settling in. Despite his tight schedule, he still managed to take the time to text you several times throughout the day. Luke sent a picture of the egg sandwich he had for lunch. Apparently, he was in a rush in between classes, and the meal from the convenience store was all he could manage. He then complained about how it wasn't enough for him, how he regretted not getting more.
He promised he'd call once he's done with one of his assignments. You weren't expecting it to take this long. It was past 10 already. You had finished your homework hours ago, and that's why you're left in the state you are now. Laying in bed, The Boscombe Valley Mystery still sitting on your chest because you couldn't be bothered to get up and put it away. Is college that much harder? Luke must have been exhausted by now. Not wanting to keep him up just so that you could talk to him, you decided to text him to wish him luck on his work and that you two can just call some other time when he's less busy. You considered adding a cute sticker of a bunny with pom-poms but decided against it. You're a high school student now. Using stickers seems kind of childish and silly, doesn't it?
You finally got up, put the book away, and went to the bathroom to wash up before bed. By the time you came back, you notice your phone screen lighting up, informing you of a missed call from Luke. You hurriedly dialled him back. Within two rings, you finally heard his voice.
"Hey." There wasn't much energy to his voice. "Did I keep my Watson waiting?"
As odd as it may be, despite you never going anywhere and staying in Stellis, hearing Luke's voice made you feel like you're finally home once again.
"You're busy, Luke. I understand. You could have gone to bed right away, you know?" It really wasn't a big deal. Sure, you missed him, but you'd rather have Luke be well-rested.
"Oh, uh, well," you could hear a nervous chuckle from the other end of the line. "I'm not done with work yet, actually. It's much harder than I had anticipated." A pause. "I just wanted to make sure I could hear how your day was before you go to bed," his voice softened.
You let out a long sigh. Luke putting yourself over his own wellbeing. That's one thing that hasn't changed, huh? You couldn't admit that you thought that he was being very sweet and that you're honestly happy about it. You can't enable this behavior of his, can you? He seriously needs to put himself first.
"Okay, we'll make this quick then. You really need to take better care of yourself, Luke. Make sure you get enough rest."
"Alright, alright, I get it."
This is how it's always been. You two worrying and nagging each other, to the point that it may seem overbearing.
"So, the braised pork granny made for lunch, we still got plenty of leftovers left, so we also had that for dinner." You could hear Luke groaning in jealousy. Granny's braised pork was great. "I also read a bit of The Boscombe Valley Mystery."
"Oh! How are you liking it so far?" Luke clearly perked up at that.
"I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'm curious to see how they're going to prove James' innocence. All the evidence seems to be pointing at him right now."
A hearty laugh. Oh, how you love the sound of it. "You'll soon see, my dear Watson."
It's Luke's voice. It's clear it's Luke's voice. You'd recognize his voice anywhere. It's just, it doesn't sound the same over phone calls. Obviously, there's the slight noise, it's not a bother, but you do miss how clear his voice sounds in person. There's also the fact that his voice doesn't sound as deep, but that's fine, this is fine, it can't be helped. You're just glad you could still hear his voice to begin with. You're glad he'd make time for you instead of making you feel like you're left behind.
"How about you, Luke?" you asked. "What are you working on?"
"Oh, it's just some stuff on engineering chemistry. I also had to review some stuff for my engineering physics class tomorrow."
Science has never been your best subject, so when Luke explained further all the things he had to do, you were honestly feeling a bit lost. You loved hearing him talk about it so giddily, though. It reminds you of all the times when you'd have a nightmare disrupt your sleep and Luke would come over to your room and tell you the lamest science facts to distract you and get you back to sleep.
Luke seems to have noticed your quieter yeahs and mms to his stories. "Hey, you should sleep." You couldn't see it, but you got his gentle smile perfectly imprinted in your mind. That's probably how he looks right now.
"Sure, but," normally you'd be too embarrassed to ask for something like this. But you're too sleepy and you can't think straight so you went ahead with it, "Is it okay if we stay on the phone like this?"
It took a while for Luke to respond, but he finally said, "What do you mean?" as if in disbelief of what you're asking of him. That's fair. It is a ridiculous request, after all. It almost makes you want to take back what you just said. Almost. It must be all the K-drama you've been watching.
"You can get back to work, and I can go sleep, we just leave the call on."
"Alright," Luke said. "We can do that."
As you settled in bed, you could hear him tenderly say, "Good night, my dearest Watson."
This is nice too, you thought. Things aren't the same, but you two are going to be just fine.

Let your moots know how you fell in love with whatever you stan on tumblr (and send this ask to the last 7 people in your notifications. If you want.) No pressure!!!!
Oh my, thanks for asking.(:
I've already told the story of how I fell in love with Stranger Things - so I guess I'll let you know how I fell in love with Byler.
To be honest with you, it took me quite a while.
Until the very end of season three to be exact.
What if viewers - those who really pay attention - still miss the Byler hints?
Not possible!
Tumblr media
^ Well, it pretty much isn't possible, is it?
IF you pay attention, you will recognise their special chemistry.
But - that was the whole problem. Well, kind of. Let me try to explain: I really wanted to pay attention to the set up, the structure, the dramaturgy.
But I think a fair amount of people who've seen the show can relate: You'll end up being utterly overwhelmed.
There was just too much going on. The character development, the whole upside down thing, Will's struggles, Eleven's struggles, everyone else's struggles, the music, the scenography, the cinematography...
I keep telling people who say they've seen the show once that this basically means they haven't seen the show at all.
There's way too much happening at once. That's why I love the show and that's why I didn't immediately realise that Byler exists, plays a major role and is probably more than essential for the main plot.
Anyway, first-time-watching-me got slightly upset when I realised that M*leven wouldn't ever get a happy ending. I felt so bad for Eleven. She's been through hell and I wanted her to be happy so badly. (I mean, I obviously still want her to be happy so badly.)
Back then, I was in the state of being confused almost the entire time. I felt misunderstood and eventually decided to isolate myself. The result: I (obviously) got quite lonely and began to tell myself that no one would ever be able to love me. I found myself thinking (romantic) love was the only way to gain happiness. = I would never be happy. = If I can't be happy, let - at least - other people be happy.
I obviously realised that no one in Stranger Things was really "happy" - and every time they were "foolish" enough to be happy,... well, you know.
I obviously realised that Will was far from being happy. I simply failed to have faith in his happy ending. I can relate to him in many ways and expected his life to be an eternal nightmare - or something.
Perhaps I didn't even want him to be happy back then. Not because I hated him and wanted him to suffer, but because I wanted him to always be and stay the one I can relate to. (Does that make sense? Probably not, but like I said, I was in a weird state back then.:D)
The not possible scene, though, was so obvious and I couldn't help thinking: oh well, I guess, he'll be happy. (Like I said, mindset: love=happiness)
Luckily, I managed to eventually grow out of that state. I "accepted" that he (hopefully) may end up being happy. (how generous :D) I also figured that happiness isn't all about love.
I already had my mind set on rewatching the show and would have done this nonetheless, but the discovery of Byler and the urge to find out if there were more Byler hints made it even more pleasant.
...and they lived happily ever after. 😋

Fluffy help (part 1)
Throughout the day, the Killer did not behave normally. He looked tired all day, and it bothered him a lot. He couldn't compose himself, couldn't remember the script, got confused in words, and got scolded for it. It was obvious that he had been distracted just today, and at the wrong time, they had a lot of work planned for this day, and he could not collect his thoughts.
"- Hey, Kill -" knight shouted, "- You're a little confused today, are you all right? -" Nightmare asked with a little excitement, this behavior is strange for his boyfriend, usually he is collected when they are on set.
"- I don't know, I've been feeling tired all day, -" the Killer replied, rubbing the back of his head with his hands. "- And now I have a little stress because of the huge number of failed takes, the Director is clearly not happy with me today -" he looked calm, but who knows what is on his mind now.
While the two actors were talking in the other corner of the stage, a timid trainee entered the hall and began to approach the workers who had previously asked the Barista for a certain coffee. Surprisingly, our coffee boy remembered what kind of coffee one or another employee ordered. Now he had gone through almost everything, and there were only two glasses of coffee left on the tray, intended for the monsters he likes.
Ccino had noticed during his rounds that the Killer and Nightmare were talking about something, and to his surprise, it was the Nightmare who took the initiative, and usually the Killer tries to get Him to talk. "- Is something wrong? -" it flashed through his mind as he approached them. He decided that he would definitely ask them about it, but probably later, but for now he tries to smile, and not give away a certain embarrassment and confusion.
"- Hi guys -" a little timidly greeted the two actors, the Barista.
"- Oh, hi, Ccino -" Nightmar said, smiling slightly as the Intern approached them.
"- Hello, baby- " the Killer tried to act natural in front of another favorite monster.
Ccino tried not to show his embarrassment at the Killer's response, but the flush on his cheekbones betrayed it.
"- Y-your coffee. Knight you asked for your regular coffee without additives. And the Killer asked for an espresso with a double dose of caffeine, right? -" of course, he is sure that he remembered everything correctly, but always clarified.
"- Yes, thank you, Ccino -" said Nightmer, still smiling slightly as he took his drink from the tray.
"- That's right, thank you -" the Killer also kept up with the Night and took his glass. Then they simultaneously moved closer to their trainee and kissed on the cheeks from different sides. Ccino, who had not expected such actions, started at first in surprise, and then, as it dawned on him, his face flushed again, and he froze in place, trying to recover himself.
"- Heh, you're so embarrassed again, you should get used to it by now, -" the Killer said with a light laugh, taking a sip of coffee. "-But you get even nicer at times like this -" he continued after a short pause. Nightmare just grinned, as if agreeing with his second boyfriend.
" -B-by the way, -" Ccino said, still looking at the killer in confusion, "- You usually drink coffee with additives, but today you decided to drink the same coffee as Nightmare, with double caffeine." He tried to change the subject to one that bothered him more. "- I noticed that you are silent more than usual, in conversation the Nightmare spoke more than you, something happened? -" Ccino was already looking at his boyfriend with concern.
"- W-wow, you're really observant -" the Killer was actually confused and pleased to some extent, the idea that his boyfriends noticed his condition, even though he tried to hide it so that he could focus on work.
"- I said it was noticeable -" Nightmare said with a grin.
"- Hey, I'm worried about you and the Nightmare, of course I'll notice the changes -" he managed to confuse both himself and the two actors at the same time, but Ccino wanted to know what was going on with the Killer today, maybe he got sick or something.
"- Ccino, the Killer probably overworked recently, this is the result of the actor's hard work -" said the still slightly confused Nightmare.
"- So...are you tired because of stress? -" the barista asked.
"- Most likely -" the Killer replied with a slight smile, finishing his coffee, the drink should help him relieve fatigue until the end of the working day, and then the wave of fatigue and drowsiness will cover him with a vengeance. By the way, Nightmare had almost finished his coffee.
"- Have you thought about taking the day off? -" Night threw the empty glass in the trash and looked at the slightly cheerful Killer.
"- I can't, there's a lot of work, have you seen the script at all? -" a little indignantly asked the Killer, remembering how many times today he forgot words or dialogues until they finished shooting, it was some kind of show.
"- Then you can rest in the evening -" the Nightmare continued after the Killer's response.
"- We can spend this evening together, -" the Intern suddenly suggested. There were slightly surprised looks at him, but he continued, "- I mean, we could help the Killer relax and de-stress this evening, so that he can have a good rest and go back to normal work tomorrow. -"
"- Hmm, this idea could be tried, -" Nightmare was more interested in how it would come out and what it would lead to. "- What do you say, Killer? Would you like to spend the evening with us? -" he was smiling maliciously.
"- Tempting offer -" in response, he also smiled maliciously. "-It still depends on what we will do -".
"- We can spend the evening at my place, my apartment is small, but I think that's enough for us -" it seems that at the moment Ccino is not embarrassed by his own proposal, but who knows if he will regret it or not?
"- Are you sure? -" the Killer asked doubtfully.
"- Yeah, it's all right. I will enjoy your company. By the way, you haven't really been to my house that often, have you, Killer? -"
"- Well, Yes, it is -" he said.
"- I have animals at home, cats -" on the word "cats" the Killer perked up a little "- I think they will help you to relieve some stress. As far as I know you like cats too -"
"- Yes, it is. Only now I'm envious -" the Killer replied, slightly offended.
"- It's starting -" Nightmare said softly, a little irritated. The Nightmare does not allow the killer to bring home animals, especially since it is a big responsibility, and they still need to take care of this animal, and they do not have time for all this. They disappear all day at work, they come home almost at night, with this mode, the Nightmare doubts that the animal will survive with them.
They were saved from even more questions by the Director's voice calling for them to return to the set.
"- Well, we're leaving, they're waiting for us -" the killer said in a more cheerful voice, throwing away the empty сup of coffee he had drunk.
"- Yeah, it's time to get back to work. -" Nightmare agreed.
"- Well, I'll see you tonight, baby. -" the Killer said, and gave Ccino a quick peck on the forehead. Nightmare also kept up and gave the Barista a quick kiss on the nose.
Ccino stayed where he was, feeling his face start to burn again with embarrassment. He was happy, there was no doubt about it, but he also wanted to cheer up the two guys who were already walking away from him and talking about something.
"- I'll regret this -" Ccino thought. - "Hey!", he shouted, running up to them. They turned and looked at him in slight surprise, about to ask something, but the trainee silenced them with a quick kiss on the lips. When they realized this, they were at first slightly shocked, they did not expect that their coffee boy, who was always embarrassed by any kisses and words, would climb up to them to kiss himself.
"- T-this is to c-cheer you two up when you're on set -" Ccino tried to explain his action quickly and confidently, as it delays them, but with each word he blushed more and without saying anything else quickly left the set.
Nightmare and the killer only looked slightly surprised as the trainee left, then went to the set in high spirits.
"- You're a bad influence on him -" Nightmare said.
"- As if you don't like it when I do it or he does it -" the Killer replied, laughing a little.
"- Fuck you! -" nightmare exclaimed in embarrassment, quickening his pace.
"- Come on, I love you -" the killer exclaimed, catching up with the nightmare and giving it a quick kiss on the temple.
"- Me too... -" he replied, calming down a little, and the Killer's smile widened.
Well, the evening promises to be fun.
(To be continued ???)
I finally finished this part. I really worked on it, and I hope someone likes it. Please excuse the mistakes, my English is not so good. (QwQ)💦
I was inspired by these people: @zu-is-here , @help-im-a-gay-fish , @yuriyuruandyuraart , @kotikaleo , @jann-the-bean .
Thank you for your inspiration and for loving this ship. ( UwU)✨💜💜💜

So guess who made RSA ocs!
it's me, I did. I've been thinking about RSA since they were first mentioned in the story and I couldn't resist.
I haven't looked much at other people's interpretations so any similarities are pure coincidence!
I haven't totally figured out all the dorms I want to include but I'm starting with Alice in Wonderland for obvious reason.
Here goes~
This first dorm is called Wonderfall, based on Alice in Wonderland :)
Wonderfall is full of interesting characters and it seems like there's no correlation between them besides the fact that they're all insane from an outsider's view. They have a dorm leader that approves every idea resulting in a dorm that's just a mess of colors and ideas, no real rules, and themed parties that go on until daytime. There are constant rumors that all of them are on drugs but they're really just weird. Being in their dorm is like living a dream (or a nightmare!)
Dorm Leader, Elvin Twist:
Tumblr media
(twisted from Alice herself)
Age: 16
Height: 5'2
Dorm: Wonderfall
X First year
~~~
Elvin is Wonderfall's dorm leader and even he's not totally sure how he acquired that position but he's doing a good job regardless.
The others in his dorm really appriciate him since he approves pretty much everything they ask of him, which results in a lot of weird things.
He's known for being quite clumsy and gullible, but us an all around caring and honest dude who just goes with the flow. He's also very curious and asks a lot of questions about everything.
Vice dorm leader: Leveret White
Tumblr media
Age: 17
Height: 6'0
Dorm: Wonderfall
x second year
~~~
Problem is he never wants to stop. Guy doesn't even seem to need sleep. He complains when people want to quit.
Likes to draw pictures of people.
Almost everyone in Wonderfall is the "Party Animal" type but it's Leveret who fits the term best. He's the life of any party and is great at keeping things fun and interesting!
Terrace Fenry
Tumblr media
Height: 5'8
Dorm: Wonderfall
X Second Year
(twisted from the mad hatter)
Age: 17
Terrace is always full of interesting thoughts and ideas, making each interaction with him a totally different experience. He comes off as odd and a little intimidating, but he's polite to everyone. He speaks somewhat cryptically and one might not understand what he's saying most of the time.
Alchemi Alchemivich Pinka/Che'nya (You already know him!)
Tumblr media
(All of this is HC for now and I dont want to write a personality because I'd feel uncomfortable doing that with a character that isnt mine)
Age: 18
Height: taller than terrace but shorter than Leveret
Dorm: Wonderfall
X Third Year
(I didnt mean to have two purple themed kids in this dorm it was an accident 😭)
Extra things
Everyone in the dorm gets along for the most part, if there are ever disagreements it's probably because Leveret isn't letting someone go to sleep.
They often get in trouble For playing loud music late into the night.
The inside of the Wonderfall dorm is a mess of abstract colors and shapes. The furniture never fits and nothing matches at all. It's a result of every dorm member having a say in how the dorm looks with no override. It also changes often because tastes change often.
Like I said, they (probably) aren't doing any drugs but the place does smell weird. Even the members aren't totally sure why.
I haven't decided who yet but one of them's unique magic allows them to clean things easily. So even though they have messy parties all the time, the dorm is never dirty.
The others in the dorm love Elvin but they also enjoy bullying and teasing him. Simple things like taking advantage of his gullibility (think takashi from cardcaptor sakura) and holding things above his head where he can't reach. They'd probably be upset if anyone else tried that with him though.
No one in wonderfall ever achieves very good grades because they don't study. Also some of them think way outside the box, like Terrace who never gives the correct answer but it's never truly wrong either.
Lastly here's a group picture ^^
That's it! So, I'm actually not all that creative so any ideas or opinions you guys have for my RSA are greatly appreciated :0

Harry Potter and The Wrong Potion
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Chapter 2:
26 weeks
Hermione was shocked. Lately, Draco had been *almost* courteous to her, dropping ‘Mudblood’ for her given name. She wondered if Spencer had anything to do with that. “You okay, Hermione?” Draco asked.
“Not that I'm complaining, but what happened to ‘Mudblood’?” Hermione asked. Draco flushed.
“Dobby gave me a lecture a few weeks ago about being nicer to the mother of my children. I can't believe I was lectured by a house elf!” Draco groaned. Hermione laughed. She couldn't believe Dobby lectured Draco either. “Do you think Potter put him up to it?”
“I don't think so but I won't put it past Harry or my brother.” Hermione admitted.
---
Spencer stroked his girlfriend’s rounded belly. “I know Draco ‘spiked’ the Wiggenweld potion,” he said. His own was nestled against her back. “He seems to have an issue with Hermione and I.”
“He never had brains to the extent of yours and Mione’s.” Y/N mumbled. Spencer chuckled. “Second year, she managed to brew a polyjuice potion. I only found out because I went looking for her on McGonagall's request. She should have been in Ravenclaw.”
“Maybe,” he replied. “Next time, I'm not doing this again.” It was her turn to chuckle.
“We’ll see. We may not want any more kids beyond these two.” Spencer smirked as he caressed her swollen belly.
“I probably could convince you to have more.” He mumbled. She laughed as he tickled her.
---
“Hermione, I can't get rid of them...” Draco sobbed. “And the Dark Lord...” Hermione knew what Draco left unsaid. Voldemort would not allow Draco to carry her children to term. “You’re the most gifted witch in our year... there's got to be something you can do.” Hermione blinked. Was Draco Malfoy asking for her help?
“Malfoy, are you really asking me for help?” Draco fervently nodded. “What would you do to save our children?”
“Bloody anything, Granger!” he snapped. 
“Even marry filthy little ol’ me?” Hermione jokingly asked. Draco knelt.
“Even that.” he confirmed. Hermione gasped. “Father and Mother will be furious anyway but I don't care. I want all four of our children together...”
Hermione absentmindedly rubbed her abdomen, then took out her wand. “Graviditate evanescet.” she said. Draco gasped as his figure returned to normal and Hermione used her wand on her belly, adding, “infans graviditate augere.” Her belly swelled  to the natural size of one who was pregnant with quads. She almost lost her balance but Draco caught her.
“Thank you Granger!” he declared as he lifted her up, twirled her around and kissed her on the cheek, setting her down. “Keep them safe.” 
“I will... And Malfoy?” he looked down at her. “Keep yourself safe.” he nodded and took off.
Spencer came in, staring at Malfoy who was now back to normal. Then he looked at Hermione and stared. “Did Malfoy have an abortion?” He asked. Hermione glared at her brother.
“No, I'm now pregnant with his quads.” Hermione quietly snapped. She felt irritable with her increased girth. “I transferred the triplets to me, Spencer.”
“You did?" Hermione nodded.
“I think it’s safer if Voldemort thinks he had a miscarriage.” Hermione answered as she placed her hand on her belly.
---
Malfoy returned to Hermione reading. “Hey how are you feeling?” he asked solicitously.
“Sore.” she admitted as he sat down next to her “Do you...” Draco shook his head.
“They’re better off with you than me right now. Besides...” he took her hand. “I think I like you pregnant.” Hermione rolled her eyes. “Hermione, I meant it when I said you were the brightest witch in our year... I'm also aware that I'm starting to sound like Potter and Weasley in some aspects... not that I'm happy or proud of it.” Hermione snorted.
“Ron and Harry haven't called me mudblood.” Hermione offered. “I also haven't felt the need to punch either of their noses.” Draco gave a self-deprecating laugh.
“Good, we can keep things diplomatic and civilized,”  he said.
“What's your point, Malfoy?” Hermione asked.
“I didn't want to get mushy but...” Draco paused, thinking. Should he admit he was in love with Hermione? Some part of him had been trying to deny the fact that he’d been in love with her since the day she’d punched him in the nose.
“Hold that thought, one of our children is intent on using my bladder as a trampoline.” Hermione replied with a small smile as she got up.
Draco shot her belly an annoyed look. Here he was trying to confess to their mother that he was in love with her and his children decided to interrupt. Well, this gave him time to think. Would it be best to just blurt it out, like Potter and Weasley would do or to just...show her?
Before he had decided on how he was to do it, Lucius Malfoy appeared. “I heard that Granger is having my grandchildren?!” Draco's father barked.
“Don’t worry Father, that mudblood and her bastard whelps will be finished off within a day or two. I know how to honor the Malfoy name.” Draco replied, acting the dutiful son but secretly shaking with fear and anger inside. However, Hermione - his dear, darling Hermione - had heard everything.
“Good. Those brats will sully our name and standing with the Dark Lord. May I ask how she got that way?” Draco closed his eyes briefly as he hoped Hermione could forgive him. “You didn't have sex with her, did you?” his father asked as he slapped him
Draco scoffed. His eyes were pure rage while he stared at his blurred reflection on the floor. He closed his eyes again while swallowing all that wrath inside his chest. “Father... Do you really believe that I’m truly capable of feeling any desire for that filthy whore? Not even if I wished to do that only for the fun to ruin her, I'd never risk the exact chance of what is happening, to mingle our pure family blood with that mudblood and generate such abomination.”
Hermione felt her heart sinking inside her chest as if part of her soul was being ripped out. She felt the heavy air surrounding her while she was blinded by tears that couldn't stop welling from her eyes. There was not one inch of movement inside her from the babies which made her worry about their overhearing Draco's words.
“Thank Slytherin I was wrong, then.” Lucius shot back. He turned to leave, adding, “Take care of it, or I will and you will be next after them.” As soon as the portrait slammed shut, Draco heard footsteps running away.
"Shit... Hermione, wait!" He shouted as soon as he realized she overheard everything. 
“That’s it, I'm leaving Hogwarts tonight, taking them far away from your evil influence. I don't want them to know you, and I'll do all in my power to stop them from ever meeting you. ” Draco paled. "And!" she said in a way to not only punch him in the stomach but also stab him in the chest. "Guess what? Your and your father's worst nightmare is about to happen. I indeed will stain your cursed family's name with these children and I'll raise them as I was raised. Among muggles, like me and my family!" She emphasized with tears of rage sprinkling from her eyes, her face red as her blood was boiling inside her veins for how she felt betrayed and stupid about believing him, and worst, falling in love with him, although she won't admit that even to herself. "We will vanish, disappear and you will never ever find us."
Draco paled. He had fucked up royally. “Can’t you see that I did that for you and our children? You don’t know me at all, you still think I'm an awful person. I've changed Hermione. I want you and our children!” He tried to argue desperately, losing all his words with the growing panic of losing the love of his life and the fruits of it. 
"Do you really believe you can fool me again, at all?! How dare you?! It's insulting! Or haven't you learned what your bloody mouth had said earlier today that I'm the most smart and intelligent of our year, but to be sincere everyone knows it! How stupid are you to believe I'm the one who can be fooled? You're fooling yourself. If I ever seemed to believe you could change, it is because I was trying for the sake of the children, to find something good in you for them. It was an attempt to give you a chance. But I always knew the truth. Well that and of course, the hormones. Probably it was the good from me in my children that made them want me to find something worthy in you to justify the part of you in them."
“Her...” he tried.
"Sure, act as the coward you always were. Going out in the right way. You don't even have the balls to face your deeds! Easy to in the end, let your father take the blame for your death, because you can't do it yourself! That's so typical of you, right? How could I expect anything different?!" By that time she was yelling out of her lungs. 
The truth is, she was desperate, for many obvious reasons but the worst, she was furious because somehow, deep down, she indeed would care if he died and how dared he blackmail her like that?
“Hermi...” He tried again.
"Go ahead and do it! That will be just the cherry on the top of this cake! Then I can tell your children that you never really cared at all about them! Not even to fucking act as the least regular villain and chase them down till the end of the world, just to maybe turn them to your stupid dark side. You can't even do that?" She stopped. 
She was trying, she really was, after all the hits, he should react. Shouldn't he? But she was starting to feel totally hopeless while her voice was toning down. Suddenly she feels dizzy and her hand tries to find a tree in time so she can hold herself on it. She was about to faint. Draco stopped, stomped up to and kissed her.
Hermione was already feeling breathless and with the kiss she felt like all the air was drained from her.  She kissed back for a few seconds before she realized what was going on. She then opened her eyes wide and pushed him away a bit in a try to understand what was happening and catch some oxygen. "What are you doing?" She speaks almost voiceless.
“I was trying to tell you earlier that I love you when our children and my father so rudely interrupted me. What I told him was not the truth. The truth is that I am so madly, no, deeply in love with you, Hermione Granger.”
She felt her eyes burning. She was sure they were red. She opened her mouth a bit, stuttered, closed it. She didn't know what to say while staring at him. First because her mind was completely empty, not only for the dizziness she felt like fainting or all the recent overwhelming occurrences since the troublesome potion was altered and by who, but now it was all centered on the words he, Draco Malfoy - and how many times she repeated his name now in her head to make it at least tangible to her understanding - himself just pronounced, announced and confessed. “You…” She totally couldn't believe it, and even if she did, she shouldn't, right? But... she saw no lies in his eyes. “You cannot... Why?”
She started to lean back to the tree, trying to find a rational, logical explanation to justify the reason why he was saying that. But of course couldn't it be just the most simple answer, that in fact, he indeed just meant exactly what he said. “It's because of the children.” She suddenly realizes while saying it as a whisper and her eyes looked down on the grass. She smirks a bit. “Right.”
“No.” Draco shook his head. “I’ve been in love with you since the day you punched me in the face.” Hermione blinked and nearly screamed when she saw Lucius Malfoy standing behind Draco.
“You lied to me.” He lifted his wand but Hermione was faster.
“Expelliarmus!” she called out. Draco caught his father's wand. 
“That’s enough!” A new voice called out. It was Minerva McGonagall with Severus Snape behind her. “Malfoy, Granger, inside your common room now.” They both hurried back into the common room.
“I love you Hermione.” Draco repeated.
“I love you too Draco.” Hermione said in return. “My room or yours?”
“Why?” Draco asked.
“Call me a prude if you like, but there is no way I'm having four kids with a man I've never slept with.”
“Mine.” Draco decided.
---
Draco couldn't believe it. In exchange for half of his father's fortune, Draco was never to contact his parents again. ‘Having Hermione and our children will be worth my parents' silence...’ he thought fiercely as he held Hermione in his arms, feeling his children kick. He was lucky Hermione forgave him. Perhaps now he could enjoy being pregnant without Voldemort finding out...
“Don't even think about recreating that potion disaster.” Hermione said with a smirk.
“I was hoping if I recreated it, it would be drinkable.” Draco said simply. 
“Why?” Hermione  asked. Draco shrugged. 
There was plenty of time to tell Hermione about it. What he wanted to make was a cross between the fertility and polyjuice potions to create an insta - preggo potion.
But first, he needed to apologize to the one person besides Hermione that could help him accomplish his goal plus give him his blessing to marry Hermione.

Not Just a Monster
Warning: blood, violence
9: Rescue Mission
It's been half a day and I haven't heard Eun-yoo say anything about me. I see her walking with that one man I saw earlier. He had blood on his face I guess he had beaten up that one creep.
He was now in the Quarantine room with Hyun-Su which I didn't know why but it made me feel Anxious for him. I didn't trust that guy well that what my gut kept telling me not to.
So I made sure not to get too close to him. I didn't care to know his name. Passing their room I saw Eun-hyuk standing in front of the door.
I wonder what he was doing there? Then Eun-yoo words replayed in my head. " you know making you guys do dangerous stuff for other people." Eun-hyuk wasn't going to ask Hyun-soo to do something dangerous, was he?
I was going to quickly pass him but he stopped me, I Scrunched my face up letting out the shit word. Turning around I fake smiled. " can I talk to you for a minute Soo-Nico?"
Not having a choice I nodded, " you have been out there right Or was that just a lie?" He questioned me. There was no need to lie so being the goodish person I am I told him I've been out there.
" yes, I'm still having nightmares from what I've seen out there." It was true, very Horrid Images stuck in my head of things I want to take back. But I wonder where he was going with this I had a good guess though.
" where is this leading to?" I had cut to the chase. Eun-Hyuk kept a straight face like always. " it'll be dangerous but like you said you've been out there so you must know how to handle those things right?"
Yep, I was right, " yes, but I almost had a couple of death Experiences facing them." Who's to say I won't get lucky again if I get into the golden hour. " I'm sure that was scary for you but you and Hyun-soo are the best we got to face them."
What did he want me and Hyun-Su to do? " I'll tell you you're Mission once I get him in here." That's when he opened the door and called Hyun-Su out just Hyun-soo. I could hear Suk-Hyun fussing about not getting out. Hyun-Su walked out through the door and his gaze landed on me but I didn't have the happiest on at the moment he must have thought it was directed towards him because his gaze Shifted elsewhere.
But it wasn't, I didn't realize I still had it on after Eun-hyuk and our conversation. He motioned for us to follow him with the wave of his hand. It was true what Eun-yoo said.
" the Front gate must be barricaded at all times. And we also need more wooden planks and chains Blocking the stairs. Monsters could get through at any moment same goes to the room back there." He finished implying the quarantine room.
I felt my chest swell up, so there making him do dangerous stuff but still going to lock him up and barricade the door? That's unfair.
I could tell Hyun-Su had a knowing look on his face like he just been stabbed through the heart. He knew he was going to use him.
I had to bit back my Tongue before I could say anything to get myself thrown out of this place. " Why do you think I took your side earlier? I'll be straightforward with you. You will be taking on all of the dangerous work from now on."
I can't believe this crap?" if you don't want to I can't help you" Eun-hyuk crossed his arms being Serious. Hyun-Su spoke up. " what do you mean?"
" The guy in room 1408,"
Hyun-Su's eyes went wide with Recognition. I guess I knew the guy, " can you bring him here?" Hyun-Su could say anything I nodded, " sure but what's so special about him?" I asked wanting to know before we go and risk our lives.
" he makes Weapons, my electrically charged spear he made it," Hyun-Su explained so that where he got it from.
Eun-hyuk had left for something I don't know of but I went back to go get my machete as Hyun-Su followed. We had to stop by his room so he could get his bag.
As he was in there getting it, something came over me like I needed to protect him. Because I didn't want people to use him for what he was and risk himself for something they should've been doing.
With thinking it through he didn't need to get hurt by Eun-Hyuk's selfish Decision making. I slammed the door shut so he knew what I was doing and locked it.
While I did Hyun-Su quickly turned around and ran towards the window. His eyes were the Widest I've ever seen. " what are you doing?" I could hear him through the glass, panic was Evident in his voice.
" You're staying here while I go get the guy!" I demanded, not like he had a choice because he was stuck in there. He banned on the window with his hands for me to let him out but I couldn't.
Was I going to risk my own life for someone I don't know to keep someone else's safe? It was stupid of me but it seems like the right thing to do.
" Bye," I smiled at him, just in case this was our last meet. But I made sure that I have to survive so even though I've been through hell and back might as well go again.
I ran off hearing Hyun-Su yelling at me to come back because. Going to the stairs that were Barricaded the guy with the burn scar was there and Seung-wan I found out his name was there Guarding it.
And also Eun-Hyuk seeing me his face frowned, knowing Hyun-Su wasn't with me. " Where's is Hyun-Su?" He questioned so I made up a lie telling why he didn't come with me.
" I Figured, I am better than two since there would have been three of us but that would slow us down if there were too many so I said I would just go and he stays," I explained, in one full breath.
He looked like he was regard to making a Decision but then nodded, " fine, guess that makes sense, but if you're not back in the next hour and a half I'm sending Hyun-Su up got it to Retrieve you."
I agreed even though it wasn't going to be necessary. With that, the scarface guy had opened the door already and I knew he wasn't Accompanying me to go get the guy it was for something else I don't know of.
Jumping over the Furniture, box Crates, and lockers I walked up the stairs with my machete in hand gripping it ready to take down anything that got in my way.
As we made our way Climbing each staircase for me to get to room 1408  managed to make small talk well tired would be the right word he seemed like the quiet type.
Passing a door I felt something like it was living in there never remembering I had this I stopped. Knowing what it was, a monster. This is new I thought, the man had stopped staring at me but I didn't know why.
" you going to go in there?" the man spoke up for the first time, I shook my head not going to start something I don't have to.
" no, I'm just going to leave it be let's go." I began to make my way up her he grabbed me by the back of my sweater pulling me to where I was before. " I think it's better if we clear it out just in case we run upon it." he let go, while I fixed my sweater back.
" But why start something when it isn't harming us?" I may have said this too soon because a Tentacle busted through the door grabbing the mad as it wrapped around his body dragging him into the room.
Hearing him let out a scream I raced in there trying to find out where it took him to. The place was on fire, this was all too familiar when I first caught the place was staying on fire.
Covering my mouth and while holding my Machete tight in my other hand I searched throughout the huge room, I began to cough, then I saw something struggling on the floor.
It was the man he was trying to fight the thing off him, just as I was about to run to the guy I was Forcefully knocked off my feet. I went flying through the air hitting something that shattered.
Not knowing what it was, it was glass no duh but I wasn't Concerned about myself I needed to help the man. Getting up I ran over to him, but he was yet dragged away again.
Running down a hallway there was the sound of something falling to the floor. Looks up there were two people an old man and a young girl that was holding a crossbow.
She had shot down the monster that had ahold of the man. He was laying on the ground unconscious, I hope he was still alive.
The girl with the crossbow Knelt and checked his pulse. " he's alive." She confirmed. I didn't know the guy but relief washed over me. " the monster left him alive?"
The older man questioned shocked, looking over we were right next to a closet and there was a whole bunch of dead people inside. Turning away the girl seemed to notice.
"What's going on?"
I didn't say anything it was pretty Obvious. Going over to him I grabbed his arm with the help of her we lifted him. Then kicking the tentacle-like arm out of our way. Walking to their apartment.
As we did the Sprinklers turned on getting rid of the fire and smoke. Their apartment wasn't that far but I was already getting tired of carrying this man.
What was he pure muscle?
Getting there door the man opened it letting us in. Setting him down, the girl left to dress his wounds. I had taken a seat on the floor I didn't realize but my face began to sting.
Bringing my hand to my face it felt wet, already knowing what it was I wiped it with the back of my sleeve I needed a new shirt.
" Why are you up here?" The man asked getting my attention. " oh, I'm getting a guy in room 1408, he makes weapons." I told the man just nodded and went to go read something from a book.
A few seconds later the girl came back, I could hear the unconscious man stir in his sleep. She went over to him. " here let me dress her wounds now." She was about to fix him up.
" I don't need that shit!" The man cursed and smacked her had away. " yes you do, your bleeding had stopped but you are still injured."
He just got up and walked away, I could hear her signing. " is it okay to let him go like that?" She turned to what to be her dad or grandpa.
" there's no need to worry about him, I bet he could take on I live tiger by himself." I laughed at his statement, Turing the girl looked at me.
" Hey, you look pretty hurt yourself." She began as I started to get up remembering my mission. " oh, that's okay, I'm alright but I'll fix myself later." I smiled.
But the man brought the crossbow up to my face. I backed up, " we're you scratched?" He questioned Putting his finger on the trigger.

First steps back
Standing once again on familiar turf, Luz Noceda took the biggest sigh of relief. Finally, she felt this all too familiar strength return to her.
Luz: "Boiling isles, how I've missed you!"
Taking in her scenery, the woods seemed like a fitting place to start.
Taking off her red beanie, she had to check something.
Luz: "Ok, just like I wanted..."
Clenching her hat and jacket, she prepared her "debut".
Luz: "After a tragic twist of fate, an empress will rise.
I have returned to this realm and let nothing stop me with my dark and forbidden magic."
Proceeding to cast off her outerwear, she used magic to carve her name into the ground.
Luz: "I am... Luz Noceda!"
Empress Luz: " Having fun?"
Stumbling back, she mistook the voice in her head for someone else. She should be used to her new state, thanks to Belos' magic. She couldn't help but still be uneasy about this situation. She picked herself up and remembered why she came back.
A new Luz, a fresh start. No time to reminisce about Eda or the town.
One thing was clear, her immense power had returned. But she hadn't forgotten about its price. She needed her staff.
Wherever it was, she had to get her hands on it.
Luz: "Ok, time to get serious! First, we have to..."
Never having forgotten the first time, she once again became paralyzed. But this time was different. She felt as though her body was buzzing. A purple smoke began to envelop her.
Luz: "What's happening?!"
Empress Luz: "We are being summoned!"
And with that, she was pulled through the air. Terrified, she shrieked towards her unknown destination.
[A few moments ago, at Belos' former castle]
Amity spent the last hour not doing much but stare at the staff in her hands. Still wearing the coven leader outfit, all alone in her quarters. She hoped to feel different one day.
A knock at the door snapped her back to reality. Already knowing who it was and what they wanted, she answered.
Willow( on the other side of the door): "Amity, it's almost time."
Things were different since Luz "went away". Amity's hair had gotten longer and more untamed.
Willow even got a new look.
Everyone who was involved in bringing down Belos and the former empress; received an unexpected response. Their reputation caused people to look to them for guidance and leadership. Due to her high class origins and role in the uprising, the pressure on Amity caused her to keep the coven position. Not everyone accepted, but Willow now served as Amity's personal aid.
Amity: "Yeah, I'm on my way."
Willow: "I'll be down the hall, if you need anything."
Everyday, Amity used the staff to check for Luz's possible return. Willow knew, she always did it at sunset.
Once again alone, she held up the staff.
Amity: "Luz Noceda, I order you here! Appear in this room!"
Dusk seemed to be the only thing approaching. Setting the staff aside, she locked the room with a barrier after stepping out.
[ Present time]
If she had decided not to attend the summit, she might have noticed the screaming projectile heading straight toward her balcony.
Breaking through the barrier(as if it were made of glass), Luz stumbled into the room. Not a very graceful entrance, but no one was around to see it.
Not knowing why or who brought her here, she prepared for any attack. Only to see the staff inside a case on top of a dresser.
Wasting no time, she broke the lock and achieved her prize.
Luz: "Great, now I just have to..."
Glancing to the side, she spotted a picture frame. Instantly piecing things together, she made her way out. But she couldn't help but turn back to take one last look at the photo.
The moment she picked up the grom memory, the door opened. Amity had decided last minute not to attend the summit. The two locked eyes and stared at each other, dumbfounded.
Luz made the first awkward move with a sheepish smile.
Luz: "Uh, hi."
Attempting to make the first strike, Luz's old friend tried summon an abomination. However, hesitation caused her concentration to break.
Amity(beginning to scream): " Willow!"
Quickly casting a spell on her, Amity fell asleep in Luz's arms.
Luz : "Nice to see you, too, Blight."
---------------------
The night sky was on full display.
She woke up to the sound of trees moving to the wind. She almost didn't recognize the latina with a red beanie. Long hair and new outerwear, things really did change.
Luz: "Sleep well, princesa?"
Something covered her mouth and shackles made of a blue light made her situation obvious.
Luz: "I'm going to take that off. I just wanted you to hear me out."
After having the tie removed, the captive witch remained on guard.
Amity( scowling): "So, which Luz am I talking to?"
Luz: "Wow, I haven't seen that face since I caught you reading to kids!"
No response.
Luz: "It's me, carino. The good witch, Luzura! But look at you! Still wearing the outfit. You grew out your hair, though. It looks good."
She tried to reach for her captive's cheek, only to have her flinch.
Amity: "Stop it! You're trying too hard."
Dropping her cheery mask, Noceda sat down next to her green haired "friend".
Luz: "Ok, you caught me. It really is me. I just haven't felt like my old self for a while."
Trying to ease the tension, a wry smile appeared alongside the empress' staff.
Luz: " It might have something to do with this."
Amity lunged for it but was thwarted with one hand.
Luz: " Not yet, I want to show you something first. Think of this our first date."
Amity: " We're not...!"
Luz: "Hold that thought!"
Wrapping one arm around her, the former empress made sure her coven leader was close.
Luz: "Check this out! Lumity, rise!"
Amity: " Lumi-?"
Rocketing into the air, the two traveled the night sky.
Luz: "Guess who mastered flying? This girl."
Amity: "How did you...?"
Luz: "One of the perks that comes with being bound to magic. I learn new spells super quick now."
Amity: "No, how did you come up with Lumity?"
Luz: "It's our ship name. You like it? Because this ship is sailing."
Arriving at their grom tree, Luz landed by the greenery. Planting the staff into the ground, she took Amity's arm.
Luz: "Right this way, my dear."
About halfway towards the tree, Luz activated a plant glyph by Amity's feet.
While her captive's legs became tangled with vines, Luz pressed onward.
Removing some bark, she revealed a portal light emitting from within.
Amity: "Wait, I destroyed the door!"
Luz: "Please hold all questions until after tonight. Here's where I keep my promise."
The plant glyph withered away along with the shackles. Luz held out her hand towards her partner.
Luz: "This is your choice. Do you still want the staff or...?"
Since they were separated,  Amity dreamt about Luz's return. But she'd also had nightmares of this exact dilemma.
Authors note:
Again, this is just my unofficial contribution to the Broken! Luz AU. I wasn't planning to continue this, at first. But I kept thinking about it. I enjoy a good corrupted protagonist trope.

CANDY
WORD COUNT: 3000+
Please let me know if you wanted to be tagged 😊
Summary: Where Colson meets the girl in a strip club and kept thinking of her the whole time. 
Tumblr media
"AAAAAAY!! COME HERE BABY!"
Vegas has the best strip clubs. Dang the girls here are hot. Like with this one and Colson has been staring at her while she perform. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
"What's your name baby?"
Aww what a vixen. She stood out among all the strippers here, and she's the star stripper for tonight.
"Candy."  That's her stripper name but he wanted to know her real name. "Well I'm curious how sweet you taste Candy, wanna have fun tonight?" Candy leaned down in front of him, both hands on his lap.
"Oh? But aren't you a community dick?" His friends 'oohed' by Candy's remark. He felt himself blush too because he was never sacked like what this girl did.
"Sorry Mr. Hotshot, got better dicks to pull." The woman blew him a flying kiss and a wink leaving him agape.
"Yo! What the fuck! Kells you alright?" Slim slapped his shoulders then the gang started laughing again.
That was so mean, shouldn't be strippers throwing their selves to the famous? Then what the hell was that?
Shaking his head and shrug off what happened, Kells looked around to see if there's someone who can give him a lap dance or something to forget that Candy girl.
But he couldn't, so he brought a girl in their hotel and fuck her senseless thinking she is Candy.
---------
The gang just got back to L.A when Colson recieved a call saying he's been invited to Paris fashion week. Even though he barely rested he flew to Paris for the said event, heck he still have hangover.
Some of the guests are A-list celebrities and he feels a bit out of place he thank gods when Douglas is also here too.
"Dude, this is overwhelming." Douglas is pacing back and forth in their dressing room while he's pulling up his tight leather pants.
"Yeah, to think you have to wear this expensive clothing."
Kells is still trying to zip up his pants and when he did he groaned because his bulge is too obvious, for sure everyone in the net will be feasting his package later when their photos will come out.
"Can we fast forward and go to the after party already?"
Kells grinned. "Hell yeah." Kells loves party and he will party hard later and weed of course, he haven't smoked a blunt since he got here.
Douglas and him went to the event running late, they were mob by paparazzis before peacefully entering the venue.
"Now showtime."
They were seated not too far from T-stage and can clearly see the models. Kells started get bored so he scrolled in instagram looking from time to time to the show.
He almost drop his phone when he saw a familiar looking woman walking down the runway.
He even blink his eyes to check of he is not hallucinating.
"Holy Shit. I didn't take any drugs or weed am I?" His mouth in agape while his sight followed a certain someone walking in the damn catwalk. It's Candy.
The stripper from Vegas, the only difference is this one is a brunette Candy was blonde.
Impossible. He shook his head, maybe he was just hallucinating or hangover. Damn that woman, can't get off his mind, he needs a fuck later.
Suddenly he is interested in the show. He waited until the final walk and all models are on stage.
His gaze landed on Candy, and never look anywhere.
"I see you are already interested at someone." Douglas nudged him but his sight never left Candy.
"That's Nicole Mckagan." He look at Douglas this time, brows furrowing.
"She's related to Duff Mckagan?"
She is related to Duff Mckagan, indeed she is.
"Yep. She's the third daughter, she's his wife's niece but the couple adopted her."  No wonder this one has the Susan Holmes edge.
But he could be wrong, this couldn't be her. She is known in the industry and why would she be a stripper?
----
The show was a blast and everyone hugged together backstage after the show. Nicole was overwhelmed by the success and also being part of it.
This was one of her dream, to walk in Paris fashion show though runways aren't new to her anymore. She only wish Mae was with her but her sister is also somewhere doing a show, they are kicking ass in fashion and their parents couldn't be more proud.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get the party started!"
Everyone changed to their after party outfits, Nicole changed into her body con dress pairing it with a high thigh boots and a faux fur.
It was all flashing of lights and shouts from paparazzis when they one by one left the venue. Famous models were mobbed by pops and some A-list celebs.
"Biiiiitchh!"
She turned when she heard that familiar voice. It's none other than her sister/cousin Grace. The eldest among them.
"Grace." Grace Mckagan ran to her and embraced her in a bear hug. Because of her heels Grace looked even smaller. They are all gracefully tall but Grace is the shortest of the three. "Can't believe you flew to Paris." She kisses her sister's cheek.
"Well mom and dad went to NYC for Mae so I came to Paris for you."
Their parents are supportive and never misses when it comes to their big shows so someone must come to watch.
"I love you, now why don't you come to the after party with me?"
They went to Nicole's car waiting. "Yes please. You're killing that faux fur though."
They both giggled. The two catch up while in the car. Grace had been busy with her gigs, she's the only one who pursued music in the family. Mae is good with music too but it is not just her path of career.
Even though they aren't her real parents she is thankful for them for bringing her into their life. She couldn't remember her real parents, because they died in a car crash when she was just a baby and the Mckagans adopted her. Her mom now (Susan) was her aunt biologically but since they adopted her she considers her as her real mom same with Duff.
They arrived at the party and everyone turned their direction to them. They are quiet known but not that famous so its no surprise when there are head turning sometimes.
"Oh my gosh Graceyy!" Taylor, Nicole's friend ran to Grace to hug her.
"Tay!" Taylor is a Victoria Secret Angel and a humble person who really worked their way to the top.
"What's up Tay, nice show by the way." Grace kissed Taylor,  Taylor rolled her eyes. "Well yeah but RIP to my feet. These heels are killing me. C'mon girls let's enjoy the part."
The place is crowded but not in a suffocating way.
"You go girls I'll just go to the washroom."
Taylor and Grace went to their fun while she went to the long line of bathroom.
She is rummaging through her purse when she bump into someone really tall.
"I'm sorry I wasn't look---"
"It's alright Candy."
She stopped in her tracks and look up to see the person she bumped with.
Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Fancy seeing you here eh?"
He knew her. He recognized her. The person she avoided to see ever again.
"Come on forgot me already?"
A smirk formed in his lips. She dreaded this day that they will meet each other again after that stupid dare in sin city.
They were having fun that time in Vegas, she lost in a game and stripping was one of the consequences it was just unfortunate that she encountered Machine Gun Kelly and they meet again today and for sure he already found out who she is. She will be in doom.
"I'm----I--I----fuck damn it."  
Nicole pulled him out of that place and they went somewhere less crowded. She lets go of his hand and face him.
"O-okay first, forget that it happened and I wasn't the person you  met that time. It was------ god just forget it."
Kells smiled. He don't know but he find the situation amusing.
He just wanted to know her and fuck her but Nicole Mckagan is something else. Why was she in that strip club by the way?
"Well Candy---"
"And don't call me that." Nicole cut him off. He grins.
"Okay but Candy, you know I'm not the type of person who forgets easily. Especially when they blackballed me."
Candy--Nicole's jaw dropped again for the second time.
"Please just forget it and---and don't tell anyone."
He isn't like that but he could use it as an advantage in the situation.
"Okay."
Nicole's eyes lit up. "But one date."
She look at him unbelievably.
"I'm sorry what?"
Kells is grinning at her again.
"One date. Tomorrow before I leave Paris."
Even if this fashion week will be over, she doesn't know whe he will be over, at some point they will meet or bump each other again in L.A.
So for the sake of her dignity.....
"Fine, one date. Tomorrow."
Kells gave her a triumphant smile.
"I'll pick you up at 10. Enjoy your night Candy."
He leaned to give her a peck almost kissing her on the lips.
What did herself got into?
----------------
Nicole woke up at 9:30 with a slight hangover. She didn't drink much last night because her thoughts were running about MGK and their date. Which is today. God why did she agreed when she saw how he was with the girls last night.
"Jesus its 9 go back to sleep Nics."
Grace said in groggy voice. She was the one who had really fun last night.
"God. I hate you, now I have to deal with him because of that stupid dare."
She got off from their bed and went to the bathroom. She took a bath and brush her teeth and Grace went inside while she is doing her make up.
"Oh my god. Nicky! It's destiny!" Grace gush while leaning on the door frame.
"It's a nightmare. It was embarrassing...." It was really embarrassing. They met in an odd circumstances if things were different...what? He won't even noticed me Nicole thought, but she shrugs it off.
"It's okay to date Nics after that dick ex of yours."
That's one of the reasons why they were in Vegas. To have fun after her break up.
She changed into one of her turtle necks, a pair of high waist jean and a pair of high heeled boots.
Nicole is doing her hair when there's a knock on their hotel door.
It must be him. She suddenly felt nervous. Relax it's just a fucking date. She convinced herself. Grace open the door for her her sister hasn't even fix herself.
"Oh, I do really believe in destiny." Meanwhile Kells was furrowing her brows when someone opened the door for him instead of Cand--- Nicole.
"Go back to bed Gracey. I'll be back later bye."
She kissed the other girl's cheek before closing the hotel room's door that makes the two of them in the hallway.
"Uh sorry about my sister. She's just hangover."
He checked her out first before responsing. The girl is simple yet elegant and Colson can't help but smile. "No it's okay. Come on."
He made sure not to drink too much last night so he that he isn't hangover for their date. He also have his polaroid camera with him, just to take photos and remember this day in Paris with her.
They had their brunch in a French restaurant near the hotel and to be honest she had no idea where he is taking her.
The two talked about what they did last night, all about the fashion week while listening intently to each other.
"I really thought you were a stripper. Turns out your a model, imagine my shock when I saw you walked on that runway.But if you are a stripper I don't mind its much better." Nicole giggled at Colson. He is a funny guy and a dork. And she didn't label her as Duff Mckagan's daughter, back in high school she was just befriended because she is the daughter of Guns n Roses bassist.
"Well Mr. MGK I believe women should be mysterious."
Colson cringed when she called him MGK. "Dude, call me Colson or kells. And yeah I like mysterious ones especially when they left you blackballed." Nicole blushed, she never thought that he finds her sexy.
"Why are you so after me."
She asked. She's just curious why someone like him (who have girls throwing themselves at him) is interested to an average model like her? Well he's famous, he is good looking and sexy. He is funny too.
"Why not? I like you." He answered in a casual way. Another blush crept to Nicole's cheeks.
"Well...whatever Colson."
She can't help but grin. After their brunch he brought her to Seine taking a boat cruise and having a view of Eiffel tower.
After the cruise they went biking around the Eiffel. They laugh the whole time because they are too tall for the bike especially Colson.
"Yeah, run along chicken legs." She stuck her tongue out at him. Colson is behind her trying to fit himself in the goddamn bike.
"Hey Candy look!" She stop to look back at him. He's holding a polaroid and looks like he's taking a photo of her.
"Hey! I wasn't prepared!" She protested, probably he took the shot where she looked like she is lost in Paris.
"Nice try Candy! Hahahaha." And she was right. Her mouth was open and her brows are furrowed, looking like a lost tourist.
"God I hate you."
Colson keep taking candid shots when she isn't looking. Nicole cursed out, why didn't she brought her camera?
She could take a lot of pictures here, the view is just aesthetic.
"Why don't we do something crazy and stupid?" Colson suggested. That's the last thing she wanted to do. The last time she did it in Vegas it led up to her meeting him.
"Like what?"
And seems like the heaven is listening to him when the rain pours.
"Oh my god!" She held his arm and they both started to run.
"Wait!" Colson halted causing her to stop running to.
"We're wet already why don't we just have fun?"
Nicole look at him like he is crazy but fuck it. They are wet already might as well enjoy the rain.
The two of them soaked in the cold rain of Paris, dancing and playing like children. Nicole never felt this childlike again. Passersby are looking at them like they gone crazy, but this is fun especially when you have someone fun too.
Nicole won't forget this very moment, under the rain with a guy in a leather trench coat, leather pants and a boots.
----------
It was dusk already and they are already dry. The two of them watching the sunset.
"You're fun for a rapper you know."
"And you're fun to be a stripper." Nicole threw her the nerds they are eating.
"Well today was epic. Thank you though." Colson's gaze landed on hers and smiled.
"Nah, I should thank you. Not gonna regret saying yes to the date."
It was her turn to smile at him.
"Why were you at that strip club though?" Her smile twitched and she looks back to the sun setting.
"It was just a stupid dare of my friends. I lost a bet and then I became a stripper with a name of Candy." The dare was just to dance. She was just being reckless to entertain him during that time.
"Oh, well you nailed it." She is flattered by his compliment.
"You're really nice Nicole Mckagan and I'm looking forward to knowing you more."
Her heart raced, she stare into his blue orbs and captivated by its color. She never thought he could be this beautiful and captivating. His eyes never left hers when he lean forward, forehead to forehead and nose touching.
Nicole licked her lips and Colson's eyes landed on itss lusciousness.
She closed her eyes when he moved closer and closer but interrupted when his phone rings.
Colson muttered a curse before leaning away amd answered the phone.
"Sorry about that, its my manager. It's our flight."
Nicole nodded. Of course, he is going back to L.A. She don't know but she is saddened by the thought.
"Well I should bring you back to your hotel though." She nodded again. They made their way back to her hotel but her mind is still stuck of what happened. Were they going to kiss?
If they weren't interrupted maybe? God what was she thinking. You couldn't like a person you just met right? Plus she doesn't even know if he is serious. He said he likes her, he didn't specify if as a friend or what. Maybe she was just his distraction while he's here or he is just bored and took advantage of the situation.
"So I guess this is you." She was deep in her thoughts she didn't realize they are already in her hotel room.
"Thank you, for today."
Colson smiled and went to hug her.
"And for keeping our little secret." He giggled while she blush. "I believe in the saying, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
And today, what happens in Paris stays in Paris.
"Nice to meet you Nicole. See you when I see you."
Nicole smiled. She's a bit sad but she know that they will meet again someday.
"Thank you Colson. Bye have a safe flight." She was hesitant to do this but anyway she tiptoed and gave him a peck on the cheek.
She didn't wait for his reaction and went inside her room leaning on the door while her heart race. She stood there for a minute before realizing she forgot something. She didn't have his number.
She opened her door again hoping he's still there but no. He already left.
With a heavy heart she laid down on her bed thinking about how this trip to Paris went.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket, a piece of paper fell from the pocket of her jeans when she fished out her phone.
Just in case you forgot Candy
+1-***-****
Nicole can't help but smile. He's cute, what a sneaky bastard.
She opened her phone and her notifications are blowing up.
She opened the one from TMZ and her eyes widened when she saw their photo from last night. When he and Colson are talking and the one where he kissed her.
Oh god. Duff Mckagan will lit her ass.
