Seasick→pt. 10 Peter Parker

Summary→ when you give one lie to your mom that you have a boyfriend, she ends up buying an extra ticket for a cruise you guys are going on. Now you’re stuck looking for a fake boyfriend and eventually drag peter in. Except you and peter both like each other and don’t know how long you can last pretending.

Warnings→small amounts of smut, mostly fluff

A/n→the way I thought I posted this a long time ago-anyways here is part 10 and I hope to put part 11 out as the final part! It has been so much fun thank you all for everything 💗💗

Masterlist for seasick

When you wake up, your vision is blurry. Your eyes puffy from crying and the bed is cold. Peter is nowhere to be found. The bathroom door is wide open and his phone and shoes are gone. One more full day until you were back in Miami, getting on a plane back to New York. All you two needed to do was last one more full day.

“Peter?” you call out hoping he's still in the room.

Nearly falling out of bed you grab the nearest pants near you. Pulling them up and grabbing your phone to go out and find him.

“Woah!” He opens the door with two coffees and a bag in his hands. He sets the bags down and you fall into his arms.

“Where did you go?” you hold onto him.

“To get breakfast....sorry i didn't think that it was a big deal i just--” you shake your head and rub your eyes.

“No, sorry, thank you i just...i think i was still dreaming when i woke up,’tis all.” you tell him and he wraps his arms around your waist.

“Are you okay?” he asks and you nod.

“Yeah, I'm okay.” you tell him and he smiles softly.

You let go of him and look over to the coffee.

“Regular black, two sugars, pump of hazelnut on the left.” he tells you and you smile picking it up. After all those late night studies at each other's house, he has your coffee order down. Everyone has everyones coffee orders down within your friend group.

“Thank you.” you take a sip before setting it back down.

“Your family have anything planned?” he asks, kicking off his shoes.

“Not that I know of, then again it's only 9:30 in the morning so all of them are still dead asleep. except for maybe my aunt and mom, they like to work out in the morning and then have these weird juice cleanse.” you tell him and he sits next to you on the bed.

“So our last day is a free day?” he asks and you shrug.

“I dont know.” you tell before his phone goes off pulling you from your moment.

“Whos that?” you ask. Ned blow up his phone with texts.

Ned: did you guys die?

Ned: you can thank MJ for buying her the red bikini!

Ned: are you guys like a thing yet?

Ned: okay i know your not dead, shes posting things

Ned: dude answer!

Ned: oh, right, phone on silent while you two fuck. Making up for all the years i bet

“May.” He lies swallowing hard, not wanting to answer Ned with you by his side. “She wants me to bring her home a mug.” he throws his phone across the bed to not deal with it anymore.

“Aw tell her i say hi!” you tell him before getting your coffee and slipping back into bed.

He joins you back in bed, laying on his side and keeping his distance.

“Y-yesterday, you told me you wanted to transfer for me. Were you being serious?” he asks and you roll over to face him.

“Yeah. i already told you it was stupid to try and transfer because i had a crush on you. I'm not going anywhere. I'm really happy at Columbia.” you tell him and his hand goes to pull the strap of your tank top up.

“So you actually like me?” he asks looking down at your lips. “For real?”

“Yes peter, why would i joke about this?” you reach your hand and brush his hair with your hand. He likes it when you touch his hair, even when it was in study sessions and you came by and messed up his hair as a tease.

“I just can't believe all these years I've waited for this moment and it's happening on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, with your family who probably hates me, with the most painful sunburn on my back.” he tells you and you laugh a little. You reach over to place a kiss to his shoulder before one on his neck and come up to ghost over his lips.

“You know,” your hands trail down his arms and fall just in front of his sweatpants. “We never finished last night.” you tell him and his eyes wide a little, you make him nervous, he doesn't want to hurt you.

“I don't want to hurt you.” he whispers under your touch and you plant a kiss to the corner of his lips.

“You won't,” you start to move on top of him. “I promise you won't.”

Before you can even get on top of him he pushes you into the bed and crawls on top of you. His hands find their way under your shirt to take you all in.

“Tell me if i'm too much?” he asks as he takes off his shirt and starts to work on your sweats. His hand reaches into his sweats to find wallet he brought with him to get coffee and pulls out a condom. You let out a small laugh and he looks up at you with a scared look.

“You always carry condoms for when you're hooking up with girls in hotel rooms?” you ask and he smirks a little.

“I mean only the ones that I've had a crush on for years and tell my feelings to.” he teases.

“And how many girls have that been?” You playfully ask and he strokes your cheek softly before pressing a soft kiss.

“Just you.” his lips are soft as they meet yours, he tastes softly of coffee and mint toothpaste but you like it. You like the softness of his lips and you like how gentle he is with you.

Maybe years of waiting, years of lying in bed where you wished it was him with you and all the times you watched him run off without someone you knew wouldn't last was now over. All your waiting is now over.

-

“I don't want to go to lunch.” you roll over reaching for your phone. You lie naked in the bed, wrapped up in sheets; it was the first time Peter truly saw you like this. The kiss in the ocean was basically nothing compared to this as you now felt his arms wrap around you. “Or dinner, or anything that involves them.” you move away from checking the time to rolling back over to him. His hair chocolate brown as it sticks to his forehead but also fluffs up at the top. His hand comes over and strokes your cheek softly as he presses a soft kiss to your nose.

“Actually,” you continue on. Your eyes meet his and for the first time it gives you the strangest butterflies. He makes you feel something you've never felt before, love. As cheesy as it sounds, he makes you feel pure love for the first time. “As strange as this sounds, i don't want to leave. Its surreal that you actually came. That moment you said yes when I was basically crying and ready for my humiliation and downfall with my family, as dramatic as that sound. i was filled with joy but i was also so scared. I didn't think you ever liked me. That this would ever happen you liked girls like Gwen that were blonde and social, got along with everyone and it was like a couple out of a movie. I liked you since I was a freshman in highschool but I was so scared of loving you at the same time. That weird phase you went through where you were constantly ignoring everyone I thought you hated me, then you go and date Gwen and everyone knew you had a crush on MJ at one point.” you laugh and so does he.

His hand finds yours, it moves away from your cheek and finds yours and interlocks his fingers with yours.

“Mj and i really never would have worked out.” he admits and then looks back up at you finding your eyes again.

“But I knew I liked you ever since the day you gave me half your sandwich because May forgot to pack mine. Or that time when we went on a field trip and I got mud on my new shoes and you stayed behind to help me wash it out. But most recently europe when you asked me if i was okay when i was-” he caught himself. Maybe you weren't ready for that part of his life yet. It was too dangerous and you were too sweet. “I was sick and couldn't go to the opera.” he swallows his words thinking of a quick and believable lie. He thinks that was his excuse back then because Ned had told everyone he had the stomach flu and flash made fun of him for a week. If only he could tell everyone who he was.

“You didn't miss much, but it was concerning that you were missing from the opera when there was a huge threat in the city.” you shrug and he looks down.

“When we get back,” he asks, this time a little more worried. “Will we be friends or more?” he asks. It was a stupid question honestly and he knew the answer in a way but wanted to hear you say it.

You don't say anything, you softly move to plant a kiss on his lips. He grows a soft red and you want to laugh at this effect you have on him.

“Peter parker.” you say with a straight pretending to be serious face. “Will you be my boyfriend for real This time?” you ask trying to hide the nerves running through your muscles. A goofy smile forms on your face as you thought asking peter to be your boyfriend would be different, would be home in New York. 

“Will you be my girlfriend for real?” he teases and you nod. He doesn't say anything more before reaching in and covering your face in kisses. Soft laughs escape your lips and on your last day in this what felt like a cursed cruise, you for once were happy. Happy in peters arms and everything felt real, no fake kisses, no fake touches, nothing was fake anymore it was just you and him.

****************************************

The sun peeked through the curtains of the chateau,making me squint before rolling over and tucking my head deeper into the pillow groaning deeply as i heard a a low chuckle and John b’s voice echoed through the house seemingly louder then it was,

“Morning Sunny,” he said laughing at how I rolled myself deeper into the makeshift bed as he headed outside, most likely to chill on the hammock. I grumbel to myself and sat up, rubbing my eyes before I leaned back, stitching my back, hearing a couple of pops before sitting up and cracking my eyes open. Swinging my legs over the side of the couch, setting my feet on the trash covered ground moving an empty beer can with my toe so i could set my foot down. Standing up, letting my shirt that i had wore yesterday fall back over my jean shorts as i stretch my arms up above my head letting a small tremor roll through my body while my muscles finally woke up, i let my arms drop back down letting a small sigh out before shuffling into the kitchen, around the bar counter heading straight towards the fridge, pulling the door open leaning down before reaching my hand in shuffling around past the cases of beer looking for something a less likely to edge on the headache was already starting to form in the front of her head. I set my sights on the orange juice that was near the back of the fridge, grabbing the neck of the bottle dragging it out of the fridge,praying it isn't out of date. Knowing the boys it most likely was but hey why not be an optimist right? I turned leaning my hips onto the counter unscrewing the cap and bringing it to my lips, before tipping it up taking a big swig. I can say that was the worst decision i made that day, i quickly leaned towards the sink spitting it out as fast as i could quickly turning on the sink, sticking my face under the faucet bringing the water into my mouth swishing it around before spitting that out leaning back up head still tilting down towards the sink. I reached up my arm and shut the sink off before grabbing the bottle of orange juice and emptying it out in the sink. All i can say is fuck optomistic people they are crazy and dont know the fine line betwen optimisum and insanity. I let out a grumble as I worked my way around the chateau, thinking I could just take a walk to the store and grab a tea or something that was actually digestible. I grumbled to myself as i suffered to the guest bedroom in the chateau, before slamming my fist against the door a couple time,

“ i left my wallet in there so i'm giving you 3 seconds to get decent then i'm coming in for it “ i say loudly, my voice still scratchy from the lack of sleep i had gotten last night. thanks to the pogues party habits it was hard to get sleep during summer, not that i minded i'm always down for a party, the aftermath still sucks major ass let's be honest. I grab the handle turning it quickly pushing in the door and walking in the room quick heading straight for the dresser near the window spotting my wallet easily i swiped it off the dresser turning on my heels, my eyes were meet with the blue ones of jj, him and another girl, i hadn't seen this one before and i didn't really care enough to stay and figure out what she looked like. I simply smirked knowingly at jj before waving off his wink strutting out of the room, closing the door on my way out. JJ and i have a odd history i can tell you that, but that never stopped us from being close, we had a lot in common when we had first meet and had remained close ever since, maintaining a almost more than friendly relationship but never anything more than a flirting glace was ever shared between us. I head back to where i had made my makeshift bed, plopping down on the bead throwing my socks and shoes that i had put beside the bed on, placing my wallet in my back pocket and snatching my phone of the ground by the pillows before strutting out of the house, seeing john b. peacefully sitting on the hammock,

“Your going to poison people with the shit in your fridge, i'm going to the store to restock i'll be back in a little” i call out to him, seemingly starling him out of whatever thought he was in.

“Can you grab some skinny pop?” he called back sitting up, i put my thumb up in the air so he could see as i walked off towards the store already lost in my own thoughts. Before i knew it my feet had brought me to my destination, snapping me out of my tance of scrolling through instagram lost in thought. I looked up from my phone, tucking it in my back pocket and grabbing my shitty old leather wallet i had gotten from my dad for my 14th birthday decorated with pins from where he traveled do for his gigs, him being a famous musician and all he wasn't always home leaving me to do whatever i wished, he would text and tell me to be safe but other than hard drugs and teen pregnancy he was fine as long as whatever i did i did it safely or told him before or after doing it. He is just chill, and we got along great because of it. I pushed the door open causing the bells on the door to jingle, and a faint

“Hello, let me know if I can help you find anything” from the direction of the counter. I let out a small hum, giving a closed mouth smile in that direction, heading to the snack aisle, grabbing two bags of skinny pop, a bag of nacho doritos, and a bag of salted almonds, before heading to the drink aisle grabbing 6 arizona teas, and two snapples for myself knowing that a snapple can fix a hangover if mixed with a vitamin c packet, correctly that is. I shuffled back up to the front, gently putting everything up on the counter, looking up smiling at the boy at the counter, he smiled back before scanning my items quickly,

“wait “ i called out louder than expected making him flinch and look up, i quickly stuck my hand in back pocket pulling out the lump of yarn unfolding it revealing a crochet bag, widespread between each knots, holding it out the the young boy before smiling,

“Can you put my stuff in here? You know how bad the pollution can get with those plastic bags and the ocean” i giggled as he nodded slowly gently taking the bag from my hands, smiling a small smile at me before loading my stuff up and telling me a price, i fished out the money and payed him before grabbing my bag slinging it over my shoulder and walking out of the store, heading back to the chateau.

----------------------------------------

When I arrived back at the chateau, John b. Was still laying out on the hammock, i gently walked over to him , reaching into my bag and pulling out a skinny pop and handing it to him, before smiling as he tore it open like a starving child and dug in,

“Thank you” he said popcorn bits flying out of his already full mouth, causing my nose to scrunch up in disgust, i simply shook my head and headed back inside waving at him. As i walked in the house i saw kie still asleep on the couch, i giggled quietly at her before moving around the couch heading to the kitchen to find pope searching the fridge,

“Dude don't bother i already tied and got poisoned by the orange juice” i giggled setting the bag of snacks on the counter grabbing two arizona out and pushing the bag towards him, pope turned and examined the goods before grabbing the bag of doritos and a snapple, before smiling at me

“Thank you, you are truly and life saver” i giggled at the comment before heading back to the spare bedroom to see the door open, i strut in to see jj leaning back on the pillow hair a mess, no shirt just his boxers barely covered by the thin sheet on the guest bed, his vape in his hand.

“Sup loser, i brought you sum tea” i said to him strutting to the side of the bead he was on, holding a hand out with the tea in it, jj looked up, his ocean blue eyes meeting mine before a sly smirk spread across his face,

“Come ‘ere” he said grabbing my waist pulling me down onto the bed, both of erupting into giggles as i land on my back next to him his torso still leaning over me, his hair dangling down, framing his face perfectly, his dimples in his perfectly tanned face,his- NO damit sunny stop it he's your friend, i had noticed both of our laughter had died down and we were both just smiling at one another. I scrunch my nose up before dropping the Arizona in one of my hands before using it to shove it his face away from me groaning at the smirk he gave me when he leaned onto his side, raising his eyebrows at me.

“Just shut up and drink your damn tea” I said , handing him one. Grumbling to myself as i popped the lid of mine open and took a sip from it, i sighed laying back onto the bed and closing my eyes just enjoying the sounds of nature , and jj gulping down the cold beverage like no tomorrow, i sighed, rolling over to the side of the bed, swinging my legs over the side looking down when my feet hit something thin and soft. My eyes gaze down to see JJ's muscle tee laying on the floor, sighing. I reach down, swiping it off the ground and balling it up. Turning slightly to see JJ scrolling on his phone and a crushed, now empty, Arizona can sitting on the bedside table beside him. I ball up his shirt before throwing it with a little power behind it, it flew through the air and fan itself out as it plopped on his head causing him to pick off the piece of clothing on his head and give me a look of confusion.

“Get dressed i'm sure everyones ready to go out on the water for the day already and you're lagging” I say standing up and flashing him a smile before heading back to the kitchen to get some chips before the other pogues ate them all.

You set my world on fire---Dante x Female Reader

So I’ve been listening to this song for over one year now,Rapture Rising by JT Music, about BIOSHOCK and i was thinking,if i could do the same thing as i did with Vergil,with the lyrics and setting,could i make this blow by adding a lot more drama?(i will replace it with another song because hell it does not fit the romantic theme) well I’m here to find out! make sure you survive folks and this is when Dante was still a dipshit teenager,about 16 or 19 we will see -Ruka T/W: slight mentions of murder and cannon gore ---------------------------------------------- I lose my breath whenever I see you You stole my heart, what is it that you do? you shuddered,you mother had always hated your father,but never had you thought she would make you stay in the underwater city people claimed to be ‘paradise’, yeah, a paradise for monsters and murderers, you were a teenager now, the only thing keeping your sanity was the broken teddy bear and building blocks,you did get an education,but you hadn’t had contact with anyone,or anything for that matter for a long time My life was grey 'til you added colors Like the moon needs the sun, we don't care about the others you were sitting beside a small hole in the bottom of the hall,placed to that the water did not overflow or get in,your father had been missing for so many years,so were your sisters,but ‘mother’ would still watch your every step,oh how you wished to just jump into that hole and swim up to the outside world,the world the others say is free of greed,pain,boredom.... You set my world on fire You're my heart's desire Suddenly the water in the gap moved,which caught your attention,nothing had moved underwater for so long,so what was the water doing now,was it just that below your tunnel another cracked and let out air? then you saw it, the beings that crawled into your nightmares, its long,slender fingers bent as it pulled itself into the tunnel,then it saw you I just wanna love you, just wanna hold you Just wanna be with you 'til we grow old You subconsciously moved back,giving it even more hints that you were a living being,and you were ‘kill-able’,it screeched and reached out to you,only to get pissed off when you turned on your heels and ran,the (favorite color) bow’s ends flapping off your (black/white) dress,you ran,and ran,and ran,but it wasn’t that stupid, and surely was not as slow as you Please tell me you'll stay or take me away I want you for myself every single day you ran into a dead end,turning around to find the monstrosity in the tunnel right in front of you,you were on the verge of tears,you didn’t want to die,you couldn’t die,no,not here,not till you see the world above,you were now on your knees and covering your eyes, expecting to either be met with the sickly warm blood coming out of you, or to be turned into one of the yellow-eyed dolls,no ther weren’t dolls,but they acted like ones... You set my world on fire You set my world on fire but instead of the two,you heard a loud thud,and a metal click,you looked up,your cheeks pink from your tears,that’s when you first laid eyes on him,your savior,and also your curse...Dante...younger son of Sparda...his icy blue eyes met yours,yours were filled with shock and hope,whilst his were filled with mischief and love, “take a picture,it’ll last longer” he commented,giving you a smug grin which left you flustered,in search of words I don't know what I'd do without you You make me smile, what is it that you do? “I-im sorry,my names (Y/N),(Y/N)(L/N)...” You introduced yourself,extending your hand for him to shake, “Dante,nice to meet you beautiful~“ he held your hand with is gloved one,giving you a kiss on your knuckles,he then pulled you in and draped a hand over your shoulder,kicking the anomaly out of the way as he lead you through the tunnels,back to that sick,dark,little playroom you spent most of your life in My life was grey 'til you added colors Like the moon needs the sun, we don't care about the others “That’s your stop I’m gue-” Dante stopped talking after seeing your upset face,you didn’t want to be here,you wanted to break all the windows,break free from this underwater prison,but it would cost you your life “Hey...are you alright?“ he questioned,holding both your hands , his voice was coated in worry,you had been walking for a few days in the tunnels,meeting many more creatures,dolls, and dead ends,you got to know him personally through those few days,he was a fun guy,and you fell for him,you fell into a dark ocean,with no oxygen,you snapped out of your thoughts,not noticing the tears swelling up in your (eye color) eyes,he looked at you with a serious and worried expression,still holding both of your hands as if to say ‘I’m not letting you go till you’re ok’ You set my world on fire You're my heart's desire You came closer as he let go of your hand,embracing one another as you silently cried “I-I don’t want you to leave,I don’t w-want to be here a-anymore!” you whispered,you truly didn’t want to leave his side,he lit a flame in your candle heart,made you feel loved...you wanted to return the favor, “sweet pea,I can’t really have you going on wild hunting rides with me,but i can stay for a few da-” you couldn’t help yourself and cut him off with a kiss,you were ashamed,that you couldn’t have waited a little longer to confess... I just wanna love you, just wanna hold you Just wanna be with you 'til we grow old Please tell me you'll stay or take me away I want you for myself every single day but he didn’t push you away,instead he pulled you even closer,returning the soft show of affection,sure he had flirted a lot,and had a playboy attitude,but he didn’t really have experience,but he knew,at that moment,that the feeling that kept him from leaving you behind isn’t just his conscience.A minute later you both pulled away,you looked away,a rose red blush appearing on your face,as he gave you a daredevil grin “oh (Nick name),if you wanted a kiss you could have asked” Dante teased,to which you responded with “so do you um...li-” you felt a finger on your lips,making you stop talking You set my world on fire You set my world on fire “love you?” the son of Sparda finished your question for you,”will this answer your question?“ He chuckled before giving you a peck on the nose,you took that as a yes and nodded,but there was a problem if you two were to be together,after all,this town is full of tunnels,killers,monsters,dolls...”dont worry your pretty head about how it will play out,I’ll keep you safe“ dante promised,pulling you closer to him,and the cursed playroom seemed to finally regain its childhood warmth and light I just want you, I just need you I don't know what it is you do I just want you, I just need you I don't know what it is you do....

What if Marinette had a Retired Police Dog Part 2

I've have had so many request for more Captain, so here you go. Also I just want to say thank you to the maribat community for adopting Captain into the community. Hopefully I do him justice.

Damian really did not want to say goodbye to Marinette yet, but as the sun dipped behind the buildings Marinette had to return to her hotel

Standing in front of the doors of her hotels they said their goodbyes

Marinette: Thanks for the great time Damian. Captain and I had a blast

Damian: I'm glad to hear that and really the pleasure was all mine

Damain bend down giving a kiss the the back of Marinette's hand

Marinette felt the blush grow on her face

Marinette: Will I be able to see you again?

Damian: Of course Angel maybe we can meet again tomorrow I can bring my dog Titus.

Marinette: Sure here's my number I can text you when I have free roam

Damian: I'll be waiting Goodnight Angel, Captain

Damian gave a little salute to the german sheperd

Captain gave a bark in goodbye while Marinette gave a little wave before heading into the hotel

Damain watch her walk away with a dreamy smile on his face until he couldn't see her any more.

Turning around Damian was met with the sight of his brothers all with teasing smiles on their face

Damian now scowling: Shut up morons

Dick: We didn't say anything baby bird

Damian: Your face did

The rest of the way home was spent teasing Damian about his lady love and Dick dramatically called her

Once Marinette had settled down after their day out she settled on her bed and made a call that was meant to be made earlier in the day

Dialing the number she looked up earlier she waited for the person on the other end to answer

Receptionist: Hello thank you for calling Wayne Enterprise, this is Cheryl how can I help you?

Marinette: Hello, I'm sorry for calling you so late, but I'm going to be in the French school trip group coming to tour the building tomorrow and I just had a quick question

Cheryl who was told by Dick earlier about Damian's little girlfriend knew exactly what to do

Cheryl: No problem sugar let me transfer you over to your tour guide. He can answer any question you might have.

Cheryl put Marinette on hold before she could protest about bugging the tour guide and made a call to Dick's cell phone

Dick: Hey Cheryl what do you need

Cheryl: Hey Dick so that girl you were telling about called me, with a question

Dick: No way. Connect her

Cheryl: Right away

Dick to his brothers: Guess who's on the phone

Jason: Damien's girlfriend?

Dick: Ding ding ding we have a winner

Marinette from phone: Hello?

Dick: Yes hello this is Mr. Grayson. How can I help you?

Marinette: Hello I'm Marinette and I'm so sorry for calling so late, but I had an important question to ask.

Dick: Don't worry Marinette, what's your question

Marinette: Well you see thanks to unforeseen circumstances my dog is actually with me on the trip. He's not a service dog, but he's really well trained and well behaved, and I was wondering if I could bring him with me on the tour. If the answer is no that's totally okay

Dick *thinking*: Omg she's adorable

Dick: That's completely fine. We have employees bring their dogs to work all the time. One more dog in the building won't make any more trouble

Marinette: Really thank you so much. And again I'm soooo sorry for calling so late. Have a goodnight

Dick: You too, I look forward to seeing you and your dog tomorrow

Dick: omg Baby Bird your girlfriend is sssooo adorable she was so sweet and shy and polite. I swear if I was talking to her in person I would have squeezed the life out of her

Damian: Don't you dare. You would just freak her out and make her never want to talk to me ever again

Tim: So you want to see her again?

Jason: It's sound like our Demon Spawn has found his true love

Damian could feel his face turn red

Damian: Shut up you idiots

Marinette: Good news Captain you're going to be able to come on the tour tomorrow

Captain gave Marinette a lick on the cheek to show that he understood and was happy about it

Marinette: Goodnight Captain. Goodnight Tikki

Tikki: Goodnight Marinette. Goodnight Captain

Marinette wrapped her arms around Captain snuggling her face into his fur as Tikki laid down on top of Captain

The next day

The class all gathered down in the lobby Marinette and Captain came down last but on time

And of course since Marinette looked happy and had Captain with her Lila had to throw a hissy fit

Lila: What are you doing Marinette. They probably don't allowed dogs at Wayne Enterprise

Ms. Bustier: She's right Marinette you shouldn't bring your dog with you. Captain will have to stay here.

Marinette: But Ms. Bustier I made sure to call ahead of time to make sure it was okay. And you wouldn't want Captain to be locked into a small room all day would you

As Marinette said that Captain looked to Ms. Bustier with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could muster

Ms. Bustier looking into Captain eyes and just couldn't say no

Ms. Bustier: Fine, but he's your responsibility Marinette, and I don't want to see any funny business between either of you. If I see either of you step a toe or paw out of line Captain will be spending the rest of his time in your hotel room. Am I understood?

Marinette: Yes Ms. Bustier! Thank you so much.

Marinette gave a big smile to her teacher before heading back to the class. Standing in the back of the group little away from every one.

Marinette: Dont worry Captain we just have to get through the tour then we can go meet up with Damian again, and we get to meet his dog Titus this time.

Captain gave her another quick kiss on the cheek when he heard somebody approach them

Adrien: Marinette why do you have to cause so much trouble. Captain would have been perfectly fine in the hotel room for a day

Captain forced his body between Adrien and Marinette not wanting the rude boy near his girl

Marinette: well good morning to you too Adrien. I don't see how having Captain with me is causing any problems. He literally only interacts with me. And for your information Captain would not be okay in the hotel all day today and then have to do it again tomorrow. Yesterday I made sure to call all the places we're going to over the trip to find out of Captain could along or not. Since we're spending all day tomorrow going to different museums he won't be able to come with us it would be cruel to lock him up all day 2 days in a row

Adrien: But he's still upsetting Lila, you know could happen if she gets too upset.

Marinette: I don't think a butterfly could fly across the Pacific Ocean Adrien, much less in the time frame we'll be here

Ms. Bustier: Okay everyone let's all get on the bus

Marinette: you better go ahead Adrien. You probably want go sit with your FRIENDS

Adrien catching onto what Marinette was hinting at gave her a small glare, but still ran to catch up to Nino, Alya, and Lila

Captain pressed his head into Marinette's side and tikki did the same.

Marinette: Thanks guys I'm okay

Marinette put one hand on Captain's head and the other on top of her purse

Damian checked over him and Titus one more time to make sure they both looked good

Bruce: I don't suppose your suddened interest in how you and Titus look have anything to do with that little French girl you met the other day

Damian: Don't be ridiculous father-

Dick: It totally does! You should have seen how those two looked at eachother. It was like love at first sight

Damian: GRAYSON!

Jason: it was so ridiculously sweet and she evan has her own dog, a german sheperd

Damian: TODD!

Tim: I did a bit more research, you know to make sure she wasn't a villian in disguise, and according to the adoption records his name is Captain and he use to be a police dog

Damian: DRAKE!! Would you all just stay out of my love life!

Bruce: They just care about you Damian. Weither you like it or not. You should have seen them when Dick first brought home Cori.

Once they got to Wayne Enterprise the family went their separate ways to complete their duties

Damian and Titus hung around Dick waiting for Marinette, Captain, and her class to arrive.

Cheryl: So I heard that you met somebody special yesterday Damian

Damian: wait how do you know about Marinette? Dick???

Dick: Well I had to tell her in case Marinette called yesterday I wanted to be the one she talked to.

Damian: Do you have to share my love life with everybody you know

Cheryl: It's just because we love you Damian. Now tell me everything.

Damian was about to respond with a sarcastic comeback when the class arrived

Dick: Hello welcome to Wayne Enterprise, I'm Dick Grayson I'll be your tour guide today. And this is my little brother Damian and his dog Titus. I hope y'all don't mind but he'll be joining us on your tour today

Ms. Bustier: Not at all it's always nice to make new friends when you're some where new

Damian made his way towards the group his eyes set on Marinette who just walk in after making sure Captain did his business before the long tour, but was intercepted by Lila.

Lila: Hello I am Lila it is nice to meet you

Lila began to speak with a heavy Italian accent.

She was the worst at speaking English in the class

The rest of the class finished introducing themselves when Marinette made it to the group

Damian: It's nice to meet you all, Marinette mentioned she was here with her class.

Alya: Marinette?

Marinette: Damian?

Damian flashing a charming smile: Hey Angel, I hope you don't mind but I found out my brother giving the tour for your class and asked if I could come along.

Damian walked over to Marinette and Captain with Titus following him

Damian: Hello Captain, how are you doing buddy?

Damian slowly lowered his hand giving Captain plenty of time to move away incase Captain didn't want to get a pat from him

Captain decided he would allow it partly because he had to admit he kinda like this kid, and partly because he knew it would freak out some of her class

Kim: Ah he touched Captain

Kim sadly learned the hard way that it took a while for Captain to warm up to someone new

Marinette: And this handsome boy must be Titus

Marinette held her hand out to let Titus sniff her.

Titus being the loving goofball he is gave her hand a big lick before snuggling his head into her hand

Marinette giggling: Well he's a friendly boy huh

Alya: You two know each other?

Marinette: Yeah we met yesterday at the park and just hit it off

Lila with a strained voice: Well isn't that great that you were able to make a new friend.

Damian and Marinette noticed the strain in Lila's voice but it didn't seem like anybody else had or if they did they ignored it

Dick: Alright everybody with introductions out of the way let's get started

Damian and Marinette fell to the back of the group so the can walk side by side with their dogs

While this was going on Titus and Captain were sniffing eachother out as they walked together

Captain: Hello I'm Captain

Titus: I'm Titus. I have just met you, and I love you

Titus gave Captain a big lick on the side of his head

Captain: That's great... So he's your boy

Titus: Yep he's been my boy for years now. He acted like he didn't like me at first but I knew he loved me

Captain: Is he your first human?

Titus: Yes, his father gave me to him when I was 7 months old. What about you, is she your first human?

Captain: No, my girl didn't find me until I was 3 years old. Before her i was a police dog. My partner was my first human. He was a great man and a great police officer. He always made sure I was well fed and when it was a slow night he would take me to the park and play fetch with me...

Captain trailed off his mind going back to the night he lost his partner

Titus: What happened to your first human?

Captain snapping out of his memories: I don't like to talk about it

Titus: Well what about your girl, how do you like her?

Captain: My girl is the best. She saved me from the pound. Her parents brought her there for one of the adoption events, at the time I didn't even know if I wanted another human. I was there for a couple of months, and didn't really have much hope to find a new family. Most people just go for the puppies. So I was just sitting in a corner away from everybody else when this girl comes walking towards. She seemed so sad at the time, like me. She asked me if I wanted to be alone together with her, and i looked into her eyes and something just clicked you know? Like she was also suppose to be my person. After that life turned around for me. My girl just has so much love to give.

Titus: I know what you mean it was the same with me and my boy. Do you have any siblings or a mate?

Captain: No my girl and her family live in a small apartment, so one big dog is their limit. I wouldn't mind having a mate one day though. I do have a couple of friends in Paris and the local dog park, and there's Fang, who's crocodile

Titus: you have a crocodile as a friend cool. I have one older sister Ace, no mate myself yet. I do also have a cat and cow as a friend

Captain: Nice

During the tour Damian noticed that some of Marinette's classmates (Alya, Adrien, and Lila) kept shooting dirty looks back at his Angel

He did his best to not glare back at them, but when Adrien did it for the 10th time on the tour when Marinette wasn't doing anything but softly giggling at stuff Damian whispered in her ear Damian had enough

The next time Adrien looked back at her Damian gave him the scariest look he could muster, which is very scary

Adrien widened his eyes and turned his head around quickly not looking back for the rest of the tour

Dick seeing about half of the interaction assumed that Damian glared out of jealousy and shot him an amused looked when he caught Damian's eyes

After the tour Marinette convinced Ms. Bustier to let her go off with Damian for their free roam

Ms. Bustier let her but made sure she wore the tracking bracelet so incase something happened she would know where Marinette is at

Damian and Marinette decidind to go to a near by dog park to let the dogs roam free

On the way out Damian noticed Adrien quickly walking over to them with a determined look on his face

Not wanting to deal with the annoying blonde Damian quickly guided Marinette outside and into the car

Marinette already figuring out whi Damian really was didn't question it and just let Damian lead her into the car

Damian: I thought you'd be a little more shocked about it

Marinette: I kinda figured it out when Mr. Grayson said you were his little brother

Once they made it to the park the dogs started to run around together and seem to play a game of chase even though Captain seemed a little more reluctant to act a bit crazier like Titus

Marinette: Well it seems like they like eachother

Damian watching Titus give Captain a big lick on the side of his head before running off leaving Captain with what could only be described as disgruntled look on his face.

Damian chuckling: Yeah they sure do

The pair spent another 2 hours at the park going back and forth with sitting in the shade watching their dogs run through the nice dog park and playing fetch with a stick the dogs found

They spent the rest of the afternoon wondering around Downton Gotham Damian showing Marinette all the best sites

As sunset came Damian found himself once again standing in front of the hotel holding Marinette's hands as Captain and Titus watch the interaction

Damian blushing: I've had a great time today Marinette

Marinette: So did I

Damian: I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night, like a date?

Marinette also blushing: I would love to, but can Captain come along

Damian: Of course beside Captain is going to be stuck in your hotel room all day tomorrow it wouldn't be fair to make him stuck in a small room for even longer.

Marinette gave him a beaming smile: Thank you for understanding Damian

Damian: Of course I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7 wear whatever you like.

Marinette hugged Damian goodbye giving him a peck on the cheek as she pulled away

Marinette: I can't wait! Goodnight Damian I'll see you tomorrow

Damian in a dreamg voice: Goodnight Marinette, Captain

Once Marinette and Captain were out of site Damian jumped up and gave a whooped of joy completely forgetting that Alfred could still see him from the car.

Bonus

Alfred on the phone with Bruce: It looks like Damian just asked her put and she said yes

Bruce on the other side of the phone silently fist bumped the air mouthing yes over and over again

Bruce in a monotone voice: That's good

Dick: omg you guys I wish you were there! They spent most of the time quietly whispering to each other and Damian glared at a boy who kept glancing at Marinette it was the cutest thing.

Summary: you and changbin have been friends for years, you’ve always had a soft spot for this kid.  You have always had those lingering thoughts in the back of your mind that maybe one day this friendship could turn into something more..

As the summer winds down and the sense of the cool breeze fills the air, i know soon enough that the fall semester is coming closer.  i dont mind school all that much, its even better that i get to spend the day with one of my closest friends changbin.  we’ve been friends for gosh knows how long and we act like brother and sister at this point. But nonetheless, theres always that feeling of “what if” in the back of my mind.... what if we did end up dating? I always feel like a puzzle with a missing piece.... I want to find someone to complete the puzzle.  As i shove those thoughts to the back of my mind i hear my phone buzzing on my bed.

-Binnie 6:30pm-

what u doing tonight? are you free??

-Y/N 6:33pm-

i have a hot date with a bowl of ice cream and the couch tonight, but i guess i can rain check. whatchu got planned?

-Binnie 6:37pm-

Wanna go to the beach with me and the boys? we plan on chilling and watching the sunset with a fire and a few drinks.  whaddya say you in?

-Y/N 6:40pm-

count me in...pick me up in 30

-Binnie 6:45pm-

shweeeeet see u then

As soon as i see that text, i put my phone down and change out of some comfy clothes and change into shorts and a cropped tee.  I should probably bring a hoodie but i know Changbin has a few in his car.  I swear that man has a whole closet in his car.  I put on a pair of slip on shoes so that way i can take them off when I’m at the beach.  As I’m putting on shoes i see Changbin’s car pull into my driveway.  After grabbing my house keys and purse I head down the driveway to get into the car where Felix and Han are in the backseat giving me the front seat.

“Glad you gave up your hot date with ice cream to hangout with us tonight” Changbin says as he heads down the road to get to the beach.

“You know i was gonna finish Avatar tonight and cry over my love for zuko but NOOOOOOO i’m gonna become a babysitter for 9 kids as they throw each other in the ocean” i say with the slightest bit of sarcasm

“Oh c’mon Y/N, the ending of avatar can wait. theres supposed to be a comet tonight!!!!” Felix chirps from the backseat

“Yeah Y/N the sky is supposed to be clear and we’ll be able to see it pass by, you wont be able to see it for another 100 years!” Han chimes in.

“They’re right Y/N, it’s a perfect night to watch it.  When will you ever be able to say you’ve seen a comet pass by in your lifetime?” Changbin adds to the conversation.

“I’m pretty sure I saw a comet that time where we were all star gazing on Minho’s roof last summer” i say to them as changbin pulls into the beach parking lot.

“Y/N i hate to break it to you, but that was an airplane.” Han says while Felix giggles.

I turn back at the giggling fools and give them a glare.

“I SHALL STAND BY THE FACT THAT IT WAS A COMET YOU TWO” i say back to the boys as Changbin puts the car into park.

We meet up with the rest of the boys who are currently setting up a makeshift fire pit and setting out some foldable chairs, thats when i realize theres 9 chairs but 10 people.  Guess I will have to sit in the sand.  I don’t worry about it too much when i see Chan currently chasing Seungmin with a dead jellyfish on a stick trying to poke him.  We haven’t been here a total of 5 minutes and there’s already chaos.

-

-

-

After an hour or two of the boys running around in the sand, throwing each other in the water, and a quite competitive game of tag, the sun starts to turn the sky the most beautiful shades of orange and red.  Chan runs to his car to grab a speaker and Hyunjin starts a fire.  Pretty soon the boys gather around the fire when Jeongin says 

“Guys theres only 9 chairs and 10 of us...”

“I’ll just sit on the sand.” I say as I get ready to sit in the sand.

“Y/N, just sit on my lap” Changbin says quietly as you didn’t hear him walk up behind you

“Nono Binnie it’s fine I-”

“No excuses, now come on” he says as he drags me with my hand in his.

While I’m sure no one saw that encounter, I’m pretty sure they see the huge blush that has crept across my face.  Sure I’ve sat on changbins lap before, we do it when theres movie night at Woojins place.  It’s nothing new between us but my feelings for Changbin push through my mind and soon enough, I’m sitting on his lap trying to make myself comfy on his thighs.  Changbin casually snakes his hands across my waist and i suddenly freeze up.  Well thats new, he normally never does that. I try to relax my body and for some reason, it feels natural.  I suddenly feel safe in his arms. 

“Does anyone know when this whole comet thing will come??” Minho says as the music plays in the background.

“According to my phone, it says that we’ll be able to see it pass through around 10 or so.” Felix says as he looks it up on his phone.

“Well since we have time to kill, how about a friendly game of truth or dare?” Hyunjin adds to the conversation.

the group and I nod our heads in agreement as the game of truth or dare starts.

“Seungmin, Truth or dare?” Hyunjin starts off.

“Dare” Seungmin says non chalantly.

“I dare you to run into the ocean with your shoes on” hyunjin says while everyone giggles

“Really? I just bought these shoes ughhhhh” Seungmin sighs as he gets up from his chair and runs towards the water

“I hate this i hate this i hate this” he says as everyone by the fire laughs hysterically 

Once he returns back to the shore where the fire pit is, he takes off his shoes and sits down with a huff.

“alright lets see, Y/N truth or dare?” He says as his eyes direct towards me and changbin.  

I’m not one to play these games so i decided to play it safe

“Truth” i say

“BOOORRRRRINGGGGGGG” Han says from the other side of the fire

“Hmm, when was the last time you kissed a boy?” he says and the group falls silent

Shit, when was the last time i kissed someone? well besides my cat Lucifer i don’t think i’ve ever kissed anyone? Do I lie and say last week? or do I tell the truth and say no one?

“uhhh never” I say in a quiet voice as everyone eyes are glued to me still.  I can feel Changbins gaze on me as he tenses up a little bit, squeezing his arms a little tighter around me

“You really haven’t kissed anyone? Not even that kid you were seeing last semester?” Changbin whispers into my ear

“No we went on two dates and he was a total square and was really boring, he never initiated anything anyways” I say back

“Alrighty Y/N, you can ask a truth or dare or have someone else pick” Seungmin says as he waits for my response

“uhm, Changbin can pick who goes next” I say as I look down at the sand, my feet becoming more interesting

“Can I dare myself?” Changbin says as the group shares a puzzled look with eachother. It’s quiet for a moment before Chan says

“I mean it’s not a rule that you can’t do it but I guess go ahead buddy”

“Alright, I dare myself that I go on a walk with Y/N for a bit. You guys can keep playing” he says and I perk my head up and turn around facing him, giving him a puzzled look.

“Why would you wanna dare yourself to do something so casual?” I say as I get up off of his lap. My waist feeling empty as I grew used to having Changbins arms wrapped around me

“It was beginning to get boring anyways, plus my leg fell asleep from you sitting on it” he chuckles

As we two walk away from the guys who are giggling and laughing, their voices become faint as all I hear are the waves crashing along the shore. It’s peaceful, it’s quiet, and it’s just Changbin and I.

It’s silent for a few minutes before Changbin exhales and stops for a moment to look at the water and the stars up in the sky.

“How come you never told me you haven’t kissed anyone? Cmon Y/N we’ve been friends for years. We tell eachother everything” Changbin says and I look over at the water avoiding his eye contact

“I just didn’t think it was that big of a deal. How lame is it that I haven’t even had my first kiss and my younger sister has for gods sake? I sound like a loser saying it. It’s easy for you to say, I bet you boast to the boys on how many girls fling themselves at you.” I say with a hint of jealousy at the end.

“I don’t think it’s lame y/n, you’re just saving yourself for someone special. And no I do not brag to the boys about “all the girls I get” when in reality I have a different girl in mind.” He says as he goes and steps in front of me. Faces inches away from each other.

I take a few steps back to get some space between us. He’s acting different. It seems like this girl is really sweet from the sounds of it. I try not to act jealous when I start to ask about her

“Who’s this special girl in mind huh? How come you never brought this up to me? Do I approve of her?” I start to spit fire questions at Changbin before he starts talking again.

“I’ve never brought it up to you because I don’t want to ruin anything that I already have with her. I’ve been so nervous to fully confess my feelings because there’s that thought in the back of my mind that maybe she doesn’t like me back.” Changbin rambles when you cut him off

“Why don’t you man up and do it already? I mean the worst thing she could say is no right? Who knows, maybe she does like you back.” I say and Changbin blurts out

“I like you a lot y/n, like a lot a lot”

Holy shit

Seo Changbin, my best friend of 11 years

Just confessed

That he likes me????

“I- I- really? You’re kidding right? Changbin don’t play with my feelings-“ I say before he cuts me off

“Y/n I’m serious, I’ve liked you for a long time and I didn’t know how you would feel, but I know it was stupid of me to confess you know? I probably ruined everything and now our friendship is ruined and nothing will ever be the same again and I-“ before he rambles himself into oblivion i cut him off.

“The feelings mutual binnie, I’ve liked you for god knows how long” i say as he looks up at me.

“I’ve liked you since that day when I jumped off the jungle gym in 3rd grade and you helped me to the nurses office. I’ve always had those feelings for you but I always pushed them back in my head because who knows how you would feel right? So whenever you went and saw other girls it made me the slightest bit jealous. Always wondering if that could be us someday. So then I went on dates with guys but nothing lasted for more than one date. They weren’t you Changbin. It was always you” I say so fast i almost run out of breath

We look at eachother for a few moments before Changbin wraps one of his arms around my waist, taking his other and tucking a few strands of loose hair behind my ear. We look at each other for a few moments as my hands snake up around his neck, definitely a feeling I could get used too. His eyes go from my eyes, down to my lips, then back up to my eyes.

“Since you never had your first kiss, may I?” Changbin says as he’s looking at me like I’m the finest piece of art in the world. Taking in everyone of my features.

“I’d thought you’d never ask” I say with a grin.

He closes the distance between us and both of our eyes close. His lips are warm and soft. Although I’ve never kissed anyone before I start to follow his lead and mirror what he’s doing. It’s a slow and adoring kiss. Not anything fast or sensual. We take our time to see how our lips mold into one another. We break away for a few moments and Changbin puts his forehead on mine.

“You know for not kissing anyone, it seems like you knew what you were doing” he says with a childish grin

“Eh from all the rom coms I’ve watched I feel like I had a good grasp of what I was doing” I say back before he kisses me again. 

I kiss him as if he’s going to disappear from me, pretty soon he has both of his hands around my waist, squeezing my sides earning a quiet yelp from me.  We break away the kiss again and i see him look up in the sky.

“Y/n there it is!!! It’s the comet” he says as he turns me around, hugging me from behind. His chin rests gently on my shoulder as we look at the comet pass by.  

“I don’t think I’ve seen anything more jaw dropping than this before” I say as i look closely at the comet passing by.

“Oh trust me princess, this comet is pretty. but nothing will compare to you” he says as he pecks my neck with kisses.

“We should probably go back before the guys round up a search party for us.” i say while leaving his touch and grab his hand, heading back to the crazy bunch of boys.

Once we make our way back to the gang they look at us with questioning looks, we’re both smiling like idiots and our hands are intertwined.

“What took you guys so long??? You missed the comet, you should’ve seen it!” Jeongin says

“Do i even wanna know what happened?” Chan says, raising a brow at us.

“Don’t worry guys, we stopped and saw the comet too. Nothing crazy happened.” Changbin says with a sheepish grin and I start giggling 

“Did you two confess to one another yet? I’ve been waiting for this.” Hyunjin says as the boys nod their heads in agreement.

“Yeah Bin, did you finally grow a set and confess? I was getting sick of the late night texts saying “ooooo im in L word my guy” “bro she looks so good today”- UGH” Han continues to ramble while Felix elbows him in the gut. 

Changbin and I look at each other and start laughing, he leans down and pecks me on the lips. Earning a few “awws” and an “ew” from Jeongin.

“Does that answer everyones questions?”  Changbin says as we sit back down by the fire. 

We sit back down and start chatting at the fire, talking about the comet and small talk in between. For the first time in my life, I feel content with everything. Content with these 8 crazy boys I can call my friends. And Changbin, everything feels so right finally. It feels like all the puzzle pieces have been put together

Changbin was my missing puzzle piece. 

And now the puzzle is complete.

Questions and Answers Part 1/2 (DonnyxFem!Reader)

@owba-chan @inglourious-jules @war-obsessed​

Let me know if you want me to tag you in these! :)

It was a cool night. The grass was damp. The campfire was welcoming. The coffee was....disgusting.

Just like every other night.

Aldo was laughing, Omar was telling a story. They all were. It was about their little....conquests...around Europe... a few basterds listened cheekily, thinking of the one true love they had waiting at home.

"What about you, Donny?"

Donny chuckled as he took a drink of whiskey. He started to laugh about the fun he had since he got deployed.

Hirschberg was unimpressed, "Yeah, yeah, but what about home?" Donny took a drink. 

He stood still, and shook his head once. "I'm a free man. Don't gotta girl to worry about," he laughed as he passed the bottle to Wicki.

Donny could hear everything the basterds were saying, but he wasn't listening.

He was remembering.

He dropped you off at college in September of 1936. He kissed you once, and smiled in pride as he watched you go up the steps. His heart sang when you waved to him. You knew he was upset you wouldn't spend every day together anymore. You promised to visit soon... And you did. But you knew it wasn't the same. Donny wasn't the same with you than with other girls. You knew he wouldn't step up...and it hurt you. Donny caught a glimmer of that sudden heartbreak the last moment your eyes met. He drove back home. He didn't listen to the radio. He went straight up to his room...

He missed you.

MIT wasn't too far from home, but he always felt too far from you. He had spent most of the days of his life with you. You'd gone to the same schools since you were toddlers. You snuck into the same bars and clubs together. You had been best friends from the moment you could speak...

In the end, that didn't matter.

He lost you.

Donny was splashing some water on his face that night, after the laughter and fire died down. He looked at the small crooked, cracked mirror.

All he saw was you. He could see you smiling, the rays of sunlight fleeting through your hair on a summer day in Boston.

He smiled for a split second, then it faded with the memory.

He saw Aldo's reflection behind him, "Boy, I know you got something to get off your chest."

"What?" Donny scoffed, "Come on, Aldo, it's nothing."

Aldo sighed, shifted his weight on one leg, and he shook his head once, "I may be old, but I sure as hell know a thing or two, son."

Donny sighed, "There is....there was a girl...once."

"Yeah, I just about figured." Aldo chuckled as he took a seat.

"I dropped her off at college back in '36... she...she was going places ya know?" Donny smiled with pride, which warmed Aldo's heart as he listened to the lovestruck sergeant.

"I knew her all my life. Every day, I'd tell myself I'd tell her I loved her tomorrow. Never did." He tossed his boot aside and untied the other one.

"I never did. I never called her, I never even wrote to her." Donny felt like screaming at himself every time he remembered it. "She'd come around to see me when she visited her family, almost every weekend...she was a good kid, ya know. She'd come down the other side of the neighborhood, say hi to my mom, stop by my old man's barber shop, just to say hi to him,...see me if I was in working. I didn’t talk to her like I should’ve. I didn’t go out wiht her, I didn’t do the things I should’ve... Eventually...she just... she stopped coming around." He sighed again, looked down at his clasped hands, "Can't blame her."

Aldo frowned...that wasn't the Donny he knew... sure, that was quite a few years ago. And Donny was older now, and a sergeant. Aldo didn't doubt that Donny might've changed, and grown up a little since then, but...he was still Donny Donowitz. He just couldn't believe that. "And you never went back to see her?"

"No." His voice was stern, just like a sergeant, but his heart was broken, like only his could be. 

He was scared to confront you, you weren't like the other girls you he went out with. You knew him. 

 Well...everyone knew Donny Donowitz in your town. He was a star ball player in school. The neighborhood boys loved rallying around him. The girls just adored him...

But you...

You knew his favorite color. 

It was that fleeting scintilla of salmon streaks in the sky, just as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. 

You knew his favorite food. 

It was a secret. He couldn't bear to break his mother's heart. His favorite food was  the risotto from Mama Allegra's italian restaurant. 

You knew his favorite season. It was winter because the smell of firewood made him feel at home. You knew his favorite song, (though he had lied to you about the reason).

It was How Deep is the Ocean, but only if Paul Whiteman was singing it. He said it was because he saw the ocean 'so many goddamn times.' The truth was it was because you walked with him around the docks and the beach more often than not, nearly every day of his life since he could remember, and it reminded him of you...

You knew Donny.

And it scared him. 

It scared him because he thought that maybe you wouldn't like him because of that. Because you knew him, you knew his flaws. You knew he was an angry young man, you knew he held grudges. You knew every name of every person that ever wronged him because he never let anything go... You didn’t know he put his own name on that list, and would never forgive himself for letting you slip away. You knew what he was scared of. You knew he was scared of losing people he loved... you didn't know he was scared that maybe the one person that didn't love him was the one he absolutely needed...

He was angry at himself for letting you be the one that got away.

You were just so perfect to him. Even though every dough boy said that about the loves they had back home, it was the absolute truth to him. The way you laughed was always music to his ears, even if you sometimes snorted...it brought him joy, knowing he'd been the one that made you laugh. Your eyes were brighter than the moon on the darkest night. Every time he saw you come around, you absolutely never failed to make him smile.

He missed Boston, he missed his family, and the Red Sox...but he missed you most of all.

He'd missed you since before the war. He'd missed you from the second he understood he lost you...

It all just happened so slowly, but somehow all at once, and it scared him.

It had just been so long...

"Ever?" Aldo was in disbelief. He knew his boys. They always gave it their all, especially Donny.

"I enlisted the day after we got into the war. I got shipped out in January... I was gonna say goodbye to her the night before. She hadn’t seen me in a year or two by then..."

"And you didn't go..." Aldo didn't believe that. Donny always gave everything one last hit.

"I found out she was with a sailor. Someone else had the balls to tell her the things I should've."

Aldo crossed his arms as he listened. He didn't hesitate to tell his boys what he was thinking. "You should go see where when this is all over, Donowitz. Sounds like a real special girl." He never saw Donny get so worked up about a girl before.

Aldo smiled a little, wishing nothing but the best for the young sergeant in the end.

"What?"

"Well, what the fuck else you gonna do?"

"I can't." Donny shook his head.

"Why the fuck not?"

"I don't want to see her with somebody else," he held onto his bat, looked down at it, and then set it aside as he clenched his teeth, wondering what he would do...

"That ain't the Donny I know."

"I dont wanna go back to Boston, show up to a nice house that got a fuckin' Cadillac in the driveway, kid running around, and a fucking  sailor opening the door, and getting pissed cause I asked about his wife."

"You dont know that."

Donny looked back in the mirror to avoid looking at his lieutenant. "I know she loved him."

"You ain't even talked to her, son. How'd you know a thing like that?"

"I saw them. She loved him." Donny sighed, wishing he could go back in time. "Nice guy, ya know. Went to school together. Name was Samuel...she called him Sammy. He used to make her laugh. He was a good looking guy. A boxer when we were young. He joined the navy right after high school. Why wouldn't she?"

Aldo smiled a little, "Well, that don't mean she forgot about you."

Wicki and Hugo walked in, and Aldo changed the subject, Donny glanced at him gratefully. Sometimes, Aldo wasn't the most tact person, but he was a good lieutenant, and a better friend.

Still, he wasn't Donny's best friend.

That elusive title somehow still belonged to you after all these years.

It wasn't the only title that belonged to you either.

You were a trained pilot, and an aero-space engineer. In 1935, you were only 17, and "Donny's girl" to most of Boston, but he never was yours, at least not in your eyes. By 1936, you were just a college kid, expected to drop out. No one thought you'd be one of the 3% of women to get a degree then. Especially not from MIT. By 1940, you were an aero-space engineer, in your own right. By 1942, you were designing and building planes for the military.

It was 1943, and you were flying them.

It was 1943, and you were flying over nazi-occupied France.

It was 1943, and your life, and the life of everyone on your bomber, was about to change...

You were shot down, the radio stopped working. No one knew where you were.

That wasn't the thing that worried you and your girls.

It was the fire devouring the wings you had designed yourselves, the bullets firing through the metal you welded yourselves, the debris stripping off the plane you had built yourselves.

The nazis picked off those that survived, and interrogated you all.

You lost crew members to the nazis’ sadism as they lost their patience.

Eventually it was just you.

The only reason they didn't kill you too was because they still needed information.

A week had gone by, and somehow, you managed to get through it all. You couldn't imagine the war without your girls...

Sometimes you couldn't imagine the world without war. 

It had just been so long...

They spat at you, and beat you, they screamed at you in German, in broken English, but they never broke you.

They'd never have that satisfaction.

"FOTZE."

The right side of your face slammed against the hard, cool soil, littered with twigs and the fallen green leaves of summer.

It was getting harder and harder to get up.

You were still for a moment longer than you'd been the first thousand times.

Blood dripped from your nose and mouth. Your eyes wandered beyond the trees' highest branches, toward the blue sky you loved.

You waited defiantly in silence for the next hit and the next question. The mocking and shouting contorted into one sick distorted blare. It took you a few moments to realize that they were screaming, but not at you.

You laid flat on your back, your arms sprawled out. You didn't care what was happening. You couldn't remember the last time you ate, or had clean water, or slept. You couldn't remember what it was like to not be in pain. You could barely stand before the final beating. Every part of you was either numb or in pain. Your heart was aching for the ones you couldn't save...

You closed your eyes, listening in on the indecipherable nightmare...

That was...until you heard English.

 A perfect, good old....southern accent?

 It was an American. It had to be... "Wicki, ask em who they got with em."

"Wer ist in deinem Lager?" Wicki held a rifle in his hands, and a steady glare.

"Sechs weitere Gefreite und ein Sergeant"

Wicki looked back at Aldo,  "Six other privates and a sergeant."

Aldo narrowed his eyes, spotting tattered and bloody cloth, strips that he suspected to be parachutes, hastily covered by leaves and dirt.

A silver ray of light caught his eye, and he glanced beyond the bloodied, brutal, untimely burial, toward the nazis' supplies.

Dog tags.

American dog tags and boots strewn around carelessly.

Aldo picked one of the boots up. It was a little smaller than he expected. He looked back at Wicki, "Ask em again...." He looked to the rest of the basterds, "Boys..."

The Basterds then called on one Sergeant Donny Donowitz, and employed his presence as a scare tactic. He raised his bat.

In sheer terror of facing the wrath of the one and only Bear Jew, he screamed "A GIRL. THERE'S A GIRL."

Aldo nodded as he walked toward the nazi shielding himself from Donny's bat. "You speak English."

He was laying on the ground, curled up on his side, and covering his head, shaking in terror. "YES."

Aldo stood over him, and pushed him over with the heel of his boot, and looked him in the eye, "You gon' tell me bout them parachutes, boy. You gon' tell me bout the girl. And you gon' tell me right now."

"That girl. There." He pointed beyond a line of trees over a small ridge. The smoke from the dying fire was still flitting around. "We shot down an enemy plane. One crew member. It was only her aboard."

Aldo and the basterds glared at the coward in suspicion. They doubted that a bomber flying that deep behind enemy lines would be manned by one woman.

Omar collected the dog tags and read the names...

Rachel Cohen Gina Sorrentino Reyna Ruiz Jacqueline Brown Jessica Vuong Alana Stan Teresa Kennedy Katherine Li Pearl Rosenberg

He looked at Utivich. He was a pilot in the army before he was a basterd. "It takes 10 to fly a B-17 over enemy lines." His eyes narrowed in on a spare part the nazis had kept as a trophy. "I'm assuming it was a B-17... those take ten. There's one missing."

Aldo crouched by the Nazi again, "Tell me bout the one girl, son."

The nazi glanced at the Bear Jew towering over him and shook as he gulped back his terror, as he lied again. "She flew a screaming helldiver! No one else was onboard!"

Aldo narrowed his eyes, "The fuck's that??"

Hugo stood by them, "It's what they call a North American A-36 Apache."

The nazi nodded gratefully, hoping that his lie would be his salvation.

Aldo glanced at Donny, then back at the coward before them. Aldo rested his boot over his chest until something popped. " Trust me, I know a thing or two 'bout apaches if I do say so myself. And them Apaches," he pointed to the sky, "only get one crew member, and one only. Now, son, correct me if I'm wrong, but I see nine dog tags over there. You aint shoot down no Apache, you aint get just one goddamn fly-boy. Where's the crew?"

Struggling to breath, he coughed, "Alright! Alright!"

Aldo stepped off his chest, and the nazi told the truth, "My sergeant tried to intimidate the crew, get answers and interrogate them. All ten of them. They never said anything. He wanted to scare the crew, killed them off one at a time, but no one said anything. They never would. He realized that when there was only one!"

Aldo squinted, "The one you tried to pass off as the sole crew member of the A-36?"

He nodded, gasping for breath as he clutched his possibly shattered ribs.  "We have the pilot, by the fire! She's alive!"

Aldo nodded. He looked back and nodded, "Smitty, go check it out. Take Omar and Hirschberg with you. Tell me if what this nazi shithead says is true."

Moments later, Hirschberg tumbled through the trees, "She's alive."

Aldo smirked as he took out his knife and looked down at the nazi. "Well, boy, you're in luck. Got us a soldier back there hurt real bad. But she's alive. It's only fair we leave one of you alive. You run on back and tell em nazi fuckers what you seen. Go ahead. Take one good look around."

He shakily raised his head, and eyed his dead team.

He'd heard the rumors...

He watched in defeat as Aldo's blade hovered over his forehead. He clenched his jaw, and gripped the grass below him as he felt the tip of the blade sink into his flesh.

You heard an agonizing shriek as you struggled to get on your feet. Two sets of steady hands wrapped around your arms.

"You feel ok? Can you walk?"

"I can walk..." You smiled weakly as you looked into the soldier's worried eyes.

The youngest basterd smiled, gestured to the patch on your jumpsuit, "82nd Airborne Division?"

You nodded. What else could you say?

Smitty smiled kindly, "101st Airborne Division."

One of the other ones, the one they called Omar spoke up, with a chuckle, "He's a basterd now. We all are."

"Bastard?"

The third man, Hirschberg, smirked "The Basterds."

You understood then. They were The Basterds.

As far as you knew, they were just a rumor.

As far as you knew, you were dreaming.

Or worse.

They led you beyond the trees, pulled your arms around their shoulders as you shivered, splattered in your own blood.

It was definitely worse.

Because there stood the one and only basterd you ever made the mistake of letting into your life.

Sergeant Donny Donowitz.

"Donny?"

He turned away from his lieutenant, mid compliment about the latest carving, and slowly lost grip of his bat.

He managed to murmur, "Y/n..." he took a step forward, "Is that really you?"

You never thought you'd be so happy to see anyone. You never thought you'd miss hearing a Boston accent...

You never thought you'd miss Donny... You'd denied it for so long, yet there you were.

  Smiling... Smiling after everything...

Without your realizing it, his arms were wrapped around you, and you were quite a few inches off the ground as he swung you in a circle.

Just like the summer of 1936...

And every year before that.

It didn't change the fact that you lost your team, or that you could hardly stand on your own...

But you saw the look in his eyes.

It was like nothing ever changed. The years hadn't gone by. The war hadn't sent both of you away.

Almost as if nothing ever changed.

"Donny..."

He took a step back, realizing how ridiculous it was of him to somehow expect everything to be back to normal.

It almost wasn't too ridiculous.

Not in war.

It seemed almost ridiculous that you finally got an answer to a question you had been asking yourself for seven years: What would you do if you ever saw that basterd again?

You'd asked yourself that from the moment you decided you'd stop visiting him, stop hoping he'd call you, and stopped wishing he'd do right. Seven years passed, and you finally had an answer...

The answer was: You smiled.

Now, after seven years you asked yourself a new question...

"Why?"

To be continued...

Shouting In Cafes: Chapter Two

Downsides Of Revenge

If possible, second impressions go even worse. And this time, he doesn’t even have the excuse of being hungover. As much as he wished he was.

AO3 LINK

Neptune laid in bed, phone on his chest, hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling. His hangover had finally worn off and he was starting to regret everything. Why had he initiated anything? He should’ve just acted passively annoyed and let the guy - Sun right? - figure out how much of a dick he was being by himself.

Why the hell did he tell him he had nice pecs?

He wasn’t in his right mind when he was hungover. That was apparent.

So, now he was debating whether he should actually call this girl and get one last blow in. It was a shady move. Using a girl for petty revenge. Was he really that kind of guy? What had Sun really done to him?

Neptune considered opening the bottle of replacement-wine he’d just bought.

No. Stop. He needed to stop. He wasn’t using a girl to get back at a guy he met once who kind of pissed him off. He needed to sleep. He needed to get his shit together.

He’d take care of it in the morning.

“Well, hello, sunshine.” Jaune greeted a drowsy, rumpled Neptune with a broom in his hand and a flower from one of his sisters stuck awkwardly into his blonde curls.

Morning light streamed through the windows of the empty coffee shop, the smell of fresh coffee and Jaune’s careful sweeps across the tile floor the only indication that the building was open. Neptune checked his watch. 7:05 AM. They didn’t get customers until around nine. They had some time to kill.

Neptune rubbed at the bags under his eyes with the heel of his hand. “Do I look that bad?”

“Yes.”

“Thanks.” He shoved his card into the slot to clock in with a little more force than needed.

“Not enough sleep?”

“I went to bed at like nine but kept waking up in the middle of the night.”

“Nightmares?”

“Stress dreams, more like.”

“Are you still trying to be mad about that guy?”

“I’m not trying! And no. I don’t know.”

“Did you get your revenge?”

“I’m not going to sleep with somebody’s girlfriend out of spite. Even if she’s dating a douche. She seemed pretty nasty herself.”

“Hm. She did give you her number while she was on a date, didn’t she?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you even know her name?”

“No.”

“Well then, that settles that!” Jaune plucked the flower from his hair and tucked it behind Neptune’s ear, poking his friend in the eye in the process. “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure you’ll never see either of them again, anyway.”

Jaune’s soft smiles were one of the only things that could warm Neptune’s heart. He tried not to show any emotion other than general annoyance whenever he could, but Jaune never failed to see right through him. He appreciated that sometimes.

But right now, Neptune couldn’t tell if he wanted to be annoyed by Jaune’s optimism or not. He settled on giving him a soft smile. He tried harder than most people he knew. “Thanks, Jaune.”

“No problem. You’re on register today.”

“God dammit, Jaune.”

The day was slow. Slower than usual. By three in the afternoon, they had only had five customers. Neptune caught himself falling asleep a couple times while standing up, which could not be healthy. Had he done his homework? God, he didn’t remember. All he remembered doing last night was staring at his phone and contemplating whether he wanted to be an asshole or not.

No homework then. He could do it before class. After work. How much longer did he have?

The door opened. Shoes smacked against the floor.

“Welcome to The Daily Grind. What can I get for you to-”

It was the dickhead. And his girlfriend. Again.

Neptune took a breath. Cleared his throat. “Welcome to The Daily Grind. What can I get for you today?”

The guy- Sun? -hunched his bare shoulders up to his ears. He was wearing one of those tank tops that had nearly the entire side of them cut out of them so you got a healthy dose of chest no matter what angle you were looking on from. They were nice shoulders. He didn’t deserve nice shoulders.

Thankfully, his expression took away from his body. Cocky and whimsical and snarky, like he knew everything you didn’t. “What? Not hungover today? No sleazy remarks?”

God, he commented on how nice his pecs were yesterday, didn’t he? No. God, no, of God why. Why would he let him have the upper hand like that? Bad move, bad move. Wine did bad things to him. Never again. Or at least he’d settle for never that much.

Embarrassment flooded to his cheeks and he tried to choke it back down. “Could I please take your order.”

Sun forced his palms against the table, winking and flashing a toothy grin. “What? No guts now that you don’t have some booze in you?”

“I’m working. Please keep your voice down.” Neptune let himself wonder if Sun could ever be quieter than a jackhammer.

“You were working yesterday, too! But that didn’t stop you from saying that my pecs were nice!”

Neptune leaned forward. “I like complimenting a handsome man when I see one, but no matter how nice your body is, your personality reeks of frat boy and beer.”

Sun’s date appeared beside him, grinning at Neptune from ear to ear. Sun’s face melted into pouted lips and a worried brow, like Neptune had actually offended him. Neptune felt victorious for a moment, before more heat rose to his face.

He was at work. All three of their other customers were staring at him.

Neptune coughed and picked up some cups and a sharpie, staring straight at the plastic. “What will your orders be today?”

“Grande white mocha and a plain cappuccino,” Sun said.

“Right.”

There was a silent exchange of a credit card and a receipt. Neptune’s blush was finally fading away. Just as Sun and his date were walking away, Sun turned back around and asked, “Are you gay?”

Neptune tensed, mouth slack in shock. Finally he managed to stutter out, “Your order is almost ready, Sun.”

They stared at each other for a moment more before Sun spun on his heel and walked away.

“He asked me if I was gay,” Neptune said in a hushed voice, fingers pressed to his temples, head bowed to the floor. “Is this real life? Did someone just ask their fucking barista if they were gay?!”

“Were you acting gay?” Jaune asked.

“Jaune!” Neptune hissed, sounding scandalized.

“It’s a genuine question.”

“I said I liked complimenting handsome men. I kind of implied that he was a handsome man.”

“That’s pretty gay.”

“That’s not the point!” Neptune nearly yelled before gathering himself. “You don’t ask your barista if they’re gay! What?! No! You don’t do that. Who the hell does that? This guy, apparently!”

“Neptune.”

“I’m sorry, dude, but honestly what the fuck. I can’t believe this. Who acts like this?”

“Neptune, I understand, but calm down. Take a breath.”

“I have to retaliate.”

“No, you don’t.”

“I’m texting his girlfriend.”

“No, you’re not.”

Neptune pulled out his phone. “Then tell me what I’m doing right now.”

“Oh my god.”

He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out the crumpled straw wrapper, plugging in each digit into his phone. He thumbed the text icon and typed out a message.

Ocean Man: Hey this is the barista at the daily grind. I never caught your name.

“Sent it,” Neptune said and waggled the phone in front of Jaune’s face.

“I can’t believe you,” Jaune sighed.

“I’m probably going to regret this later.”

“You definitely are.”

They both watched as Sun’s date sipped her coffee, set it down, and looked at her phone. Sun was too engrossed in his own storytelling to notice the smile that pulled on her lips or how fast her thumbs typed on the keyboard.

A few seconds later, Neptune’s phone buzzed. Neptune puffed out a sigh. Guess he was doing this.

No Contact: Aria. And you?

Ocean Man: Neptune vasilias. Nice to meet you aria. Quick question. Why are you going out on a date with that guy? You dont seem to like him.

No Contact: He’s hot and he asked me out. Quickly finding that his personality sucks. You’re cuter. Wanna hang?

Neptune gave his phone a sour expression. No matter if the guy was a dick, you should at least finish the date before setting up a new one with someone else.

Jaune read over his shoulder. “Yikes.”

“Yeah.”

Neptune looked up and across the cafe to find Aria looking over her shoulder, smiling, and waving at him. No.

And Sun was glaring straight at him. No.

Was this what he wanted?

Sun stood up, nearly knocking his chair over backwards as he stomped back to the bar.

“Is this what you wanted?” Jaune asked, echoing his thoughts.

“What do you want exactly?” Sun questioned, pushing a finger into the middle of Neptune’s chest. “To piss me off? Is that why you’re flirting with my date in front of me?”

“Look. You might be an ass but she’s the one who gave me her number while you two were here yesterday. You might want to find someone who actually likes you.”

Neptune could hear Aria squeak in outrage from the other side of the cafe.

“Fine! But that doesn’t explain why you actually texted her!”

“I think I wanted to make you mad.”

“What the hell!”

“You asked me, your barista that you don’t know the name of, if I was gay!”

“You were acting pretty gay!” Sun exclaimed, as if that explained everything.

“So what?!”

“I dunno! But you obviously aren’t because you’re flirting with my date!”

“Why do you still care? She doesn’t like you!”

Jaune stepped to the side of Neptune. “Dude, you might wanna stop.”

Neptune didn’t stop. “I’m not having the best time right now! I got dumped two days ago, got painfully drunk and hungover and have had to deal with you repeatedly!”

“Neptune,” Jaune warned.

“You’re just a shitty frat boy! Why the hell are you in a tiny coffee house on a date at three in the afternoon?”

“I get free coffee here!” Sun yelled. Not that it made a difference, his only volume setting was yelling.

“No, you don’t, you id-”

“My mom owns this place!”

Neptune went quiet. He stared at the fury burning in Sun’s eyes, white teeth bared, flimsy tank top threatening to fall off.

For once, he had no words. Well almost no words. Thank you Mama Vasilias, for your words of wisdom for these troubling times. Words that had helped him through many hardships before. Words straight from the old country.

“Merda,” Neptune muttered, his eyes wide and his jaw hanging open.

Basically a review of OP episode 503 ig

Currently rewatching post-war arc (in the dub so I don't have any screenshots for u guys sry) and theres a few things id like to point out.

During a conversation Dadan once had with Garp, they were talking about Roger. Garp said that even if they were facing powerful enemies, he would never run away because he wouldnt dare leaving his comrads behind; it wasnt an option for him. Obviously we see this in Ace. But ALSO, isnt this what he did with Katakuri? It was a little different cuz of the setting mostly, but he separated himself from his crew to fight off katakuri, and lied to them about being okay so they didn't worry (he was already getting his ass kicked by then, so he just made that stupid smile and told them not to worry (or smth like that, I can remember the exact line) (that smile was so gross and fake cuz he fucking sucks at lying). Also he said roger destroyed a buncha soldiers cuz they mouthed off his men. That's what Ace tried to do but instead he died. :(

"The pain he went through just made him hold on tighter to the ones he loved" -Garp, about Roger. "Despite his flaws and his bad reputation, his crew still trusted him completely." -also Garp, about Roger. These both sound a lot like Luffy AND Ace.

When Dogra got home and told everyone about Sabo's ship being shit down and him dying (which we all know didnt happen, thank fuck), (by the way the absolutely lost looks on Ace's and Luffy's faces with the sudden silence hurt like a bitch), Luffy started crying and said "WE SHOULDNT'A LET HIM GO, IT'S ALL OUR FAULT". Which fucking says something about him (thinking of episodes 913-915 when he goes fucking berserk, but before that he learns that Kaido probably killed Tama and he says "I should've escorted them..!" (*ugly cries*)). Ace also reacted pretty similarly-- "Sabo...why didn't we go back into town and bring him back here?! We're so stupid!" And he gets mad and asks where he could find the bastard that killed him (obviously not getting a good answer since it was a fucking celestial dragon ugh). That is what Luffy does, in present time. He results to anger first, not sadness. Not sure when he learned to do that but I'm 99 percent sure it was from Ace. Also the blaming himself thing? High chance thats ALSO from Ace. Who else would teach him that self hating behaviour?!

Dadan pins Ace down to stop him from going after the Celestial Dragon to calm him down, telling him he cant do anything, he's not big or strong enough to do anything and he'll be killed as soon as he tries anything, especially since it was the whole country -the whole WORLD- that killed Sabo. He can't do anything. And then they tied him to a tree outside to let him cool off. Oh yeah then he also told luffy to stop crying like a little girl or else he'll- (and he didn't finish the sentence). ...Ok maybe thats why luffy started being more angry than sad.

This is where things get a little more :( . Ace reads the letter Sabo sent them before he died. As he reads, he walks to the end of the forest, to a cliff overlooking the ocean. And starts fucking bawling (btw the voice actor who had Ace's childhood part did not do a very good job, no where near as in character and real as Coleen Clickenberg did with all of Luffy's crying scenes. She was spot on.) ...do you see where im going with that? He isolated himself before letting himself feel sad. It was all rage and then calm beforehand. Y-you see where im going with that. Dont make me say it.

"How's Luffy doing, is he any better?" "Well...he hasnt been eating much, but he still eats twice as much as we do". Oh look, That's what happened after Ace died too. There's a behavioral pattern that hasnt gone away. Not sure why it wouldve tho.

Luffy is mopeing, lying on the ground in a similar setting ace was at when he cried. Hes thinking about some of the things Sabo said, like how theyre gonna sail the seas together, and he clenches his hands into tight, shaking fists. After Ace shows up and hits him, and talking abt some other stuff I don't feel like relaying, Luffy tightens his grip on the straw hat and tells ace, whimpering, he wants to get stronger (and stronger, and stronger, and stronger and stronger and....) And he wants to be the strongest in the world. "And then, I'll protect everyone. I won't lose anyone I care about". He gets stronger mainly to protect the people he loves. And then he asks ace to promise he won't die. To which he hits Luffy again and tells him he should be more worried about himself dying first. And then the famous line that hurts like a bitch- "I'm NEVER going to DIE!" And then this hopeful music comes on (fucking damnit funimation, u gotta do this? Really??) Also he says he wont die as long as he has a wussy little brother to protect. ...FUCK. Ok, the fist clenching is a thing he does all the fucking time, usually when he gets mad. This was different because he wasnt mad, he was sad. He clenched his fist because thinking about it hurt. Which, huh, sounds a lot like his whole episode after waking up from his 2 week coma on the polar tang. To try and stop the mental pain of those horrendous memories, he resulted to physically pain. He hurt himself. So, He clenches his fists in times like these to fight off the mental pain and the urge to cause himself physical pain. Guys, our boy is bad at emotions, help him. ....ok this paragraph is longer than I anticipated so ill dumb down the rest of it ig. Next part, him asking ace to promise he wont die. The music, the body language, the over change in mood- this comforts him. He stopped hiding his face and silently sobbing after ace said this. OH YEAH! didn't he tell jinbe not to die when they parted ways in Totto Land? And then, hes missing still in Wano and we see Luffy is worried....but convinced Jinbe will show up. Again, this comforts him. Hes nervous cuz someone KOFF KOFF ACE broke that promise once. But jinbe is his crew mate so he trusts him, thank god.

"-But whoever did it, they must be opposed to freedom." The whole freedom thing? That runs through Luffy's blood and spirit.His brothers fought for it, his dad is the man who strives to give everyone freedom basically, and Luffy himself has seen enough of the OPPOSITE of freedom to be so, so much more than just against it. Hence why he of course was so eager to free the slaves in Sabaody, the kids in punk hazard, the toys in dressrosa, the country of Wano from Kaido's tyrany. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree huh.

I dont think Luffy would remember his promise with Shanks if it werent for his brothers putting feul to his dream. It was a stupid bet at first; he just wanted to beat Shanks, right then. But after meeting Sabo and Ace, he found the opposite of freedom and human rights. And then he wanted, REALLY wanted, to become the free-est man in the world; the pirate king.

Last one i promise ok? This one is less connected to whats going on in the episode at this point, but something I noticed (its so obvious everyone has seen this ok) was when luffy cries, his posture is always open. He doesn't curl in on himself like many people would do (I know I would, lol). He doesnt hug himself, protect himself. He's just, opened up to whoever is watching, literally. This has a little more to do with something I haven't talked about much in this post yet; his self-destruction issues. I said he tried to hurt himself when he felt mental pain, which is definitely similar. But he cries and doesnt try to protect or comfort himself, like he doesn't have that programmed into his mind. Reminder that he only wants to live because of his dream, and if he doesnt have his dream, he wants to die. (Whoa.). Ok, so no self preservation mechanism at all rlly. Hes basically ride or die. So, when things hurt so much that he cries, he has no hope left. He just kinda...dies inside. So this was mildly different after sabo died. Yes we saw him just standing there, sobbing. But the next day he's still crying, and instead he's laying on the ground. I saw that and the voice in the back of my head told me he wanted to be a part of that lifeless dirt beneath him. Then, Ace walked over. And his words made him feel the hope that I told you about earlier, and he sat up into a sitting position. And HUGGED HIS LEGS TO HIS CHEST. There's some self preservation! Some hope! Some will to exist, to live! Something we saw none of as he sat in front of his brothers corpse, shutting down. He sat there, open to his enemies, incapable of protecting himself. Practically anyone couldve killed him right then and there. I think he mightve liked that, at that moment. Like thank god he has that stupidly good luck cuz if he didn't I swear someone couldve thrown and axe or FUCKING ANYTHING AT THAT MOMENT and hed be dead becuase he never physically or mentally prepared himself. On purpose.

Our poor boy needs some fucking attention and therapists. (Insert my rant post about how jinbe is on the crew primarily for anger management and therapy, not just being a helmsman.) Ugh, smh ugly cries

Aaaaand thats about the end of the episode. Theres so many little tics and peesonality traits that you notive thru this episode, and I only noticed them cuz im rewatching this part of the show for like the third time. I don't react as much as the first time of course but some things are definitely sadder after knowing what's going on and what will happen later on.

Moral of the story (post)? I think luffy is almost equally as alike -if not, more similar to roger as ace is. Also, high key genuinely think Luffy met like NO ONE but Garp before he met Shanks and his crew. What the fuck was his first like 5 years of being alive like? (He wantd to be a pirate cuz Garp didnt want that. Rebellious baby asshole. And then shanks made things worse, in a good way for luffy. And then ace and sabo made that worse thing worse for a good reason. Luffy lives...for those influences. And that is fucking it. Why.

Oh thanks tumblr for moving my picture to the bottom of the post u fucking idiot

"Shouldn't you be with him?"

"I can't sleep, can I stay here?"

It was a cool evening as you sat on the hill that was just outside the park with your friends, waiting for the fireworks to start. There was a cultural event happening and at the end of the evening, they were going to set off the colourful explosives in the sky.

"This is taking forever." Whined Chris, a guy your friends were trying to set you up with. You had met him through them and they invited him along to try and push you two together. He was a good guy, but he did complain a lot. It had been taking a while, but there was a set time they were supposed to go off at.

Ten minutes had passed and you heard a 'Hey' behind you. Looking up, you saw Jotaro looming over you. Smiling, you stood up to greet him. "Hey! You came!" You had invited him when he came into the little cafe you worked at; he was also your neighbour a few doors down from your apartment, nice guy, but very quiet. You introduced him to your friends. Your girlfriends eyed him up and down, not being subtle about it at all.

Chris scowled at him, intimidated by his physique and good looks. When you sat back down, Jotaro sat next to you, causing Chris to scooch closer to you and put an arm around you; showing him that he shouldn't try anything.

"So how do you two know each other?" Lisa, one of your girlfriends, asked.

"Jotaro comes into the cafe every morning for coffee. We also live in the same building." That comment made Chris narrow his eyes.

Jotaro didnt pay much mind to the looks he was getting. He just stared ahead to where the fireworks were supposed to go off at. Truth be told, he didn't want to be here. He only came because you asked him to.

The last few months, he had come into the cafe more frequently; every weekday morning, to be in fact. He ordered the same thing, black coffee and a breakfast sandwich, made by you. When you struggled to bring up your groceries from the car to you apartment, he was there to help you so you didn't have to make a number of trips. But under that hard exterior, he was scared to ask you if you wanted to do something together. So when you invited him tonight, he had to keep cool as he said 'sure'. Seeing this guy with his arm around you, crushed him inside. Had he known you had a boyfriend, he wouldn't have shown up.

Finally, it was time for the show. It was absolutely beautiful; the colours and design patterns went so well with the corresponding music. You leaned back, keeping yourself propped up with your arms. Jotaro turned his head towards you slightly to look at you. Your eyes reflected the explosions in the night sky, making them sparkle. He smiled ever so lightly.

"This blows." Chris muttered, grabbing your hand and pulling you up with him. "I'm hungry, lets go get food."

The others got up too, except Jotaro, he remained seated. "Jotaro, do you want to join us?" Lisa asked.

Jotaro just glanced up, catching a vibe from the other male who wasn't subtle about how he didn't want him to go with them. "Thanks, but no. I'm just going home."

Your eyes turned sad. "Are you sure?" It looked like Jotaro was about to say something but was cut off when Chris pulled you away to leave.

"That was really rude, Chris." You scolded, walking next to him as you all made your way to a late night resturaunt. "Jotaro is a good friend of mine and you were just rude to him all night."

"Whatever. He didn't seem that nice, anyways. Plus, I didnt like the way he was looking at you."

"What?"

"Oh, come on, you didn't notice? If I wasn't there, I bet he'd be all over you. It was a good thing I was; guy like that would easily sweep you off your feet. This was supposed to be a date."

Stopping in your tracks, your mind started to spin. Was Jotaro interested in you? If you were honest with yourself, you were into him as well. And you knew him a hell of a lot better than you knew this prick who was dragging you. Shaking your arm free from his grasp, you stood your ground. "Let go of me!"

Your girlfriends stopped as well and stood just off to the side, looking scared and uncomfortable.

"You know what, you're an asshole. I dont want anything to do with you." Looking to your friends, you apologized and told them you were going home, asking them to leave you alone for a while.

---

How long has it been since you stopped counting sheep as you laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling? Your mind wouldn't stop thinking about the man who lived just two apartments away from you. The longer you thought about him, the more you realized the signs. How he started coming into the cafe every morning after you told him you worked there. The exact time he would know when you would get back from shopping so he could help you. He even remembered your birthday and gave you a card. So on and so on.

You had to talk to him.

~

Jotaro woke up to the sound of knocking on his door. Growling with annoyance, he glanced at the clock and pulled on a pair of lounge pants and stomped to the door, opening it. "Yare Yare Daze. You better have a good damn reason to- Y/N?" He looked down the hall to see if anyone else was there but found no one.

"I can't sleep, can I stay here for a bit?" You tried not to look at his bare torso. It certainly wasn't helping with the things you were thinking of earlier.

"Y-Yeah, sure. Come in." He moved to the side and held the door open for you to enter. "Is everything all right? Where is that Chris guy? Shouldn't you be with him?"

You rolled your eyes, crossing your arms in a huff. "Forget that guy. I'm sorry he was so rude to you."

"I'm not worried about it." Jotaro went into the kitchen and poured you a glass of water. "I just didn't really care for the way he treated you."

Blushing, you accepted the water he handed you. "Thank you." Taking a sip, you gazed around his apartment. You had never been inside before. It was well decorated, with books on ocean life on a shelf and pictures he took on trips he went on. Setting down the glass, you ventured further inside.

"Y/N? Are you sure you're okay?"

Running a hand through your hair, you let out a long sigh. "I-I honestly don't know. Something happened tonight and I can't stop thinking about it." Trying your best, you couldn't help but look at him. You always knew he was fit, but actually seeing his muscles and how the pants hung off his hips lit a spark deep inside you.

Jotaro noticed how you were looking at him. He had long for you to look at him this way, his crush on you going back eight months ago. Taking a bold move, he closed the gap between the two of you, moving a stray hair behind your ear. His intense, yet beautiful, turquoise eyes locked with yours, making you feel intoxicated. "You can't stop thinking about it?" His face came closer to yours. "I have always thought about it."

Your stomach did flips. Your heart pounded. His nose nuzzled yours; lips hovering over your own. You haven't felt this excited in a long time. Taking a dare, your arms wrapped around his neck the best they could. He reciprocated by wrapping his own around you and lifted you up, putting your legs around his hips. Your fingers traced the sharp features of his face- he was so handsome. "I want to kiss you." You breathlessly whispered.

Jotaro couldn't help but grin. Was this real? Were you really in his arms, wanting to kiss him? This was like a dream. One he didn't want to ever wake up from. "Then kiss me." The kiss was soft, tender and loving. He held you ever so gently in the middle of his living room.

Out of breath, you pulled back and rested your forehead on his, staring into his eyes. Without words, he seemed to have asked you a question, to which you nodded your answer. Kissing you again, he carried you down the hall and into his room, placing you softly on his mattress on your back and climbed on top of you.

His hand traveled along your side, up your shirt and over your skin, giving you goosebumps as you lifted your arms to help him take off your shirt. Traveling around your back, he unhooked your bra and removed that as well. He took a moment to burn your image into his mind before leaning in to kiss your breasts, giving them an equal amount of attention.

Sitting up, he grabbed the waistband of the pajama pants you wore on your way over to his place, pulling them down slowly and throwing them off to the side. He pulled his down as well, freeing himself. Going over to his bedside table, he grabbed a condom and rolled it on.

Wow. You stared, your legs squeezing together at the thought of his cock going into you. Something that size you would definitely have to take in slowly.

Jotaro caged you with his massive arms, his hips parallel with yours. Bringing them down, he rubbed his cock against your wet sex while he kissed your lips and stroked your hair. He was so loving and caring; taking his time with you so that you both enjoy every second of this. He could easily take you roughly and animalistic, but he didn't want to do something like with you quite yet. He wanted to show you how much he loved you.

Looking down between your legs, you both watched as Jotaro slowly entered you, pushing himself all the way to his base and then pulled back. Oh, God, what a feeling!

No words were said as you two made slow and passionate love. The only sounds that could be heard were from your shared panting and gasps and the sounds of your limbs sliding over the sheets.

The muscles in Jotaro's back tensed with each thrust he gave you. He couldn't help but pick up his pace a little when he felt his release coming. Your arms snaked under his, splaying your hands over his back; you were getting closer as well.

Now his hips were snapping wildly against you, he couldn't take it anymore, and neither could you. Smashing your lips together, you kissed deeply as you came around his cock, your body seizing through your orgasm. Jotaro kept going, the feel of your walls clamping down on his cock brought his release, the condom filling with his hot cum. Coming down from the high, he burried his face into the crook of your neck.

Jotaro heard a strange sound come from you. Raising his head, he saw you with a hand over your mouth, trying to suppress your sobs and tears streaming from your eyes. "What's wrong?" He looked at you with worried eyes. "Are you okay? Was that not-"

"No, Jotaro. I'm wonderful, really. That was just so..." You smiled as you tried to calm your sobbing. What you two did was just...beautiful.

Rolling off of you, Jotaro laid next to you and pulled you on top of him and stroking your sweat soaked hair. "Shhh... Its alright. I'm glad you enjoyed it." Squeezing you tight, he kissed you on the top of your head.  It was almost 4 in the morning, you were both exhausted that you two quickly fell asleep in each other's embrace.

This night was the start of something that you definitely wanted more of in the future.

ive had my own idea for a sonic movie that would still be live action and a generic child-friendly action-comedy just like the “real” sonic movie is (presumably) gonna be

IN SHORT!

The main character that makes a duo with sonic for the majority of the movie is a young girl named June.

The overall plot is very similar to sonic x, but altered to fit the time span of the usual one and a half hours movie length in movies like that.

detailed description, explanation of the pictures and character info under the cut!

Through a mal-induced chaos control eggman and sonics friends get transported into the real world. this time space rift causes some really weird stuff to happen and June gets seperated from her dad, who was just on his way to bring her to school.

at first she thinks its cool to meet a talking blue hedgehog in a really pretty nature-y place and skip school to play with him, but soon they notice that they are not alone. Eggmans robots got transported to our world too! June gets captured because she is seen with sonic and therefore identified as a threat by eggmans robots! Sonic runs after her towards what seems to be eggmans base.

meanwhile the dad was transported to a really high place, whihc is bad cos he’s  got fear of heights. Luckily tails and knuckles appear and offer to help him down

both teams start looking for eachother, but get interrupted by various obstacles. June and Sonic get hold off by eggmans schemes, while Dad and Sonics friends stumble upon amy, who just escaped a military research facility. she hoped that cream would be with the others, but it seemed that they had to go back and save her. the Dad used to be a hobby boxer, but since he’s a lawyer he doesn’t really do that much anymore. it surely helped him when taking out those government officials. its funny how a lawyer breaks the law, right? there’s many jokes on that and his character development goes from strict father figure that doesnt allow fun and insists on obeying the law to a wild and free man who does what’s right, even if  he has to break rules. (also he screams “sorry” every time he KOs someone because hes that kinda guy)

June and sonic manage to infiltrate the egg carrier that was transported into our world and set it to crash and render all his stuff useless!

However, the ship is on course for the city which they didnt realize until it started losing height. eggman pretends that he can still stop this if the people are willing to make him their unquestionable ruler, but sonic and june are determined to stop the ship themselves. sonic keeps eggman busy while June is in the command center trying to find a way to make the ship change course and go crash in the ocean.

in the end everything is exploding and falling apart and eggman is fleeing, June managed to change the ships course and runs up to sonic telling him he needs to run, sonic says that she doesnt have to tell him twice and they go.

sonic gets blown to the side by an explosion and trips over debris, making his knee bleed a little (u cant see blood bc this is kid friendly hes just hurt like theres dirt or smth lol) and he tells june to run and not worry, but she comes back and lifts him on her back and is determined to run as fast as she can to get outside

when she reaches a door she screams because she’s scared. they are close to the ground, but not close enoguh to make it alive if she jumped... then sonic hugs her from behind and says “jump on my command” and shes like. no way. but he says “trust me we’re not gonna get hurt if we hit water” and shes like “but i cant swim that well” sonic chuckles “me neither” and then she gets the memo and is all determined and ready and they make it and its magical

they might also have a scene thats a nudge to 06 where sonic is very Positive and gives good life advice.

while everything seems like its perfect eggman is starting plan B of his conquer the others were all alarmed by the crashing egg carrier and therefore came speeding in the modified car tails rebuild for Dad (it can turn into a fucken plane. Dad and June are finally reunited and he thanks sonic for watching after her, and sonics like nah ur daughter totally watched after me shes a hero.

and then they work together to stop eggmans final boss robot and save the city.

at some point they all found chaos emeralds somewhere. and sonic can turn super to finish eggman off. yeah that sounds cool.

that also makes him and the others fade back into their own dimension, bc hes Got That Power

in the end its just him, June and Dad iin midst of a park in the city with debris and shit and June is like. sonic dont go we jsut became friends

and sonics like. treasure the memories you make and live life to the fullest bc u only got this one shot and u gotta make the best of it. n her dad is all agreeing and shakes his hand and is like. thanks sonic

and June hugs him and cries but smiles and sonic says nice smile bc im kinda getting emotional writing this all out and then he disappears in a flash of light and in that moment it cuts to the mom on the side of the park in her car with the window down going “what the-” and credits roll

thanks for reading

okay i know most of this was really silly and unfinished but granted i was making this all up as i went on and on about this and like. yea. i brainstormed this in like. 2 horus time completely from scratch, only using sonic X as basis for the plot and the humor of popular and successful action comedies as inspiration for the tone of the movie

as for the characters i just thoguht a carefree girl thats tired of being stuffed into a mold meeting sonic and learning that its okay to be herself and do what u think is right, learning that kindness really is the most powerful thing on earth and that friendships are precious??? hell fucking yeah!

also child character is more relateable than a fucking cop. kids will be able to relate to June, while adults (long time fans most of all) will be able to see their past self in her.

as for the dad, a lot of adults might see themselves in this dad role who just wants the best for his  kid, while being stuck in a boring job that doesnt really fulfil them, but pays the bills and the lifestyle the family has.

I also really wanted characters that you have not seen before. Whenever i see a black dad he has a shaved head and thats kinda boring its just. basic. nothing agianst dads with shaved heads but why is Every Single(black) Dad Bald/Buzzcut? so i gave him dreads because why not? looks cool when he does action shit. whoosh whoosh

i knew i wanted a kid and i knew i wanted a girl. im really fond of puffy pigtails and i decided to go with a black girl just because! it was the very first thing that came to my mind when i was looking for an adventurous girl that wants to go on adventures with a blue talking hedgehog.

plus loving black dads that lov their girls rly rly need rep u_u

as for sonics design, i tried to compromise with the movie’s need for a more realistic sonic by making him overall fluffier to hint at texture, but keeping his core design and proportions.

the same goes for all the other characters.

I’m still very thinking emoji about eggman, I think it would be best to have him be either played by a fat person. Like Really Fat Person to resemble his original design (hes fat okay who cares abt slanky legs) or have him be CGI/partially CGI due to the fact that he’s from another dimension.

and uh. that’s all i have to say for now! it’s 1am and i should get to bed!

is it too late to come on home? by volchitza 9,347

Karen worries her thumb with her index fingernail, absentmindedly picking at her skin. The azure glow of her laptop screen reflects on her face in the dark of her silent office; it's too late for anybody else at the Bulletin, but Karen doesn't feel at home anywhere much these days. The Word document she has open on the screen is blinking regularly at her, as if expecting to be filled, but she has no words to describe the emptiness eating away at her from the inside, scratching at her, digging a hollow in her middle, little by little, with every aimless step she takes, every time she sits at her desk and feels further and further from the person she was before. She doesn't know how to inhabit this new paradigm of her life: a new job, a new house, without her old friends and their evenings at Josie's. A new Karen, changed, in ways she hasn't yet explored.

Try and Try Again by silbecoo 18,544 

The night after the Punisher's funeral Karen is approached by a strange woman and given the opportunity to change the past and give Frank Castle back his future.

Losing Sleep Tonight by PunkyNemo (TheVampireCat) 42,501 wip

She's standing on his doorstep and she's asking for redemption.

He doesn't know if he has any to give.

The Punisher

Sunny Days on Sunday by Study_in_Scarlett 534

Frank and Karen grocery shopping! Or something else painfully domestic

next time by rcmsw 856

“Hey,” he hears in that voice he knows well now, that voice that is, well, something.

Frank turns to see Karen there in the doorway, standing out against the dingy walls and muted colors.

“Hey,” he responds, and feels the smile tug at his lips. He can’t help it. He’s not surprised she managed to find him here, she’s a damn good journalist after all.

The elevator scene, but with a much needed addition.

Explosions have a way of revealing one's priorities byAlison_Ocean 755

"Where does that end?", she’d asked. Where the hell did she think?

Bottom of the Ocean by silbecoo 1,235

Frank has no one left to punish but himself.

Perihelion by evil bunny wolf (evil_bunny_king) 1,567 

“I’ve had, I’ve had a hell of a week, but that, I think, might’ve been part of the worst of it.”

She clears her throat, and then again, drawing her knees in. Her eyes shine a little in the lamplight. “Yeah. I was scared too. For you.”

Three to Five by homesickblues, StellarRequiem 2,064 

Karen and Frank's moment in the elevator as how it felt, not just how it looked, and the silent conversations they had there.

A Perfectly Good Opportunity by A Crimson Phoenix (cw151) 3,960

“Sorry to disappoint but Karen and I are just friends, sweetheart,” he said. “What? Why?” Leo looked at him dumbstruck. “’cos we are,” Frank shot back. “And that’s that. You’re too young to be askin’ me questions like that.” “Not too young to see a perfectly good opportunity when there is one,” Leo murmured back.

Leo is determined to make Karen and Frank happen. A power couple, just like Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Finding Home by LaMorenaReina 11,733

“Growing up sucks, Leo. I wouldn’t recommend it.”

Or: Karen faces the truth of after while trying to live her life. Leo and Karen become friends. Karen and Frank figure some things out.

Best Revenge Is Your Paper by laiqualaurelote 15,581

"Karen." It's Bob, the night copy-editor. "Why haven't you been answering my calls?" "Someone tried to kill me. Now I'm half-dead in a ditch." "Right," says Bob, unimpressed. "You've got queries in your story. Plug them, please." "Want me to shoot him?" inquires Frank. "Jesus!" shouts Karen. "Do not shoot the copy-editors for doing their jobs, Frank!"

In which Karen Page gets a bunch of bylines, pisses off a lot of people, tries not to fall in love with her newsmaker and fails. Spans post-Daredevil Season 2 through The Defenders to post-Punisher Season 1.

The Winter King by Yggdra 26,063

Karen Page is tired of being hurt and threatened. When Wilson Fisk threatens to claw his way back into civilisation, Frank Castle steps in to offer her a safe escape.

Breaking Free (I Feel Violent) by Will_Write_4_Coffee 29,557 

After getting blown up (twice), shot at, held hostage, and saying goodbye to the one person she felt most connected to, Karen Page needed a break... Or so Ellison told her. With Christmas right around the corner, it was shaping up to be a bleak and lonely holiday, until a familiar face shows up...

Loss like the sharp edges of a knife by fandammit 33,605

“Is she a friend?”

He shrugs, though it’s a stiff movement. He knows he should just say yes, because it’s not untrue, because it’s the easiest way to explain what Karen is to him. But it also feels wrong, because friend seems like such an easy word to hold the complicated swirl of emotion he feels when he thinks about Karen. It’s both too much and too little to describe what she is to him -- a person who has been ally and advocate and antagonist all rolled into one, whose name has been both an invocation and affliction, whose memory sets off a warning light behind his eyes and a low, steady burn of longing across his veins.

Frank Castle, after.

Now we're young enough to try to build a better life bytuntekorpp 38,963 wip

Karen said she wanted an after for Frank. Maybe she needs an after for herself too.

AU

Ink & Petals by onebatch2batch 11,261

When Karen Page's grandmother suddenly passes away and leaves her a business to run in an unfamiliar city, she realizes how lonely a place can be. That is, until she develops a crush on the handsome guy that comes into her shop fairly regularly. AU. Rated M for future chapters.

your bruises spell my name by samssalvation

after nearly two months apart, karen is certain she will never see frank again. of course, that all changes when her article crosses paths with his war.

The Shadow of Him by Bitumz

He mirrored her darkness and she reflected his past. Where Karen Page chose to go, Frank Castle would have to follow.

When I Look In The Mirror (I See Only You) byPrimarybufferpanel (ArwenLune)

The AU where Frank Castle is the cop who finds Karen moments after she has shot James Wesley, and ends up in a complicated tangle of feels, cats, and aiding and abetting a fugitive despite his best attempts to be a clean, law abiding cop

The Fall by ghoulsngunz

"I need a favor.”

A favor? Karen crossed her arms over her chest. She had to be dreaming. There was no way that after three months of silence the Punisher would be standing in her kitchen asking for a favor. “What kind of favor?”

Frank rubbed his temples. “I need you to help me find my dog.”

Park Jihoon

if someone calls him tinkerbell one more time he is actually going to lOSE IT

he is so sick of it

he is a pixie! not a fAIRY!

listen he knows they mean it as a joke,,, but cmon does he look like he wears a bright green leaf and is blonde

actually wait

he is not just aegyo and pixie dust and *magic* he is a MAN

and then you know, he sips milk out of a bendy straw and that argument is forgotten

his fashion sense is... still pretty out there.

really bright colors that do not match

and then he wears circle lenses all the time

(he actually cant see that well but he says its just fashion)

wears large sweaters to cover up wings so in summer hes Suffering™

 “you doing okay there jihoon?”

hes just there sweating bullets but raises a thumb

“never better”

he doesn't let the world besides the Supernatural Hub™ and his close family and friends know hes a pixie

so he seems like a normal human to about everyone

he attends college and works at a cafe and is overall just a normal guy

a very cute guy who jeojangs into girls hearts and they fawn over his boyish appearance and general attitude

“hes so cute, like a lil kid!”

lol if only they knew

dresses up as a pixie every halloween

ha ha “dress up”

halloween is the one day a year he can be free and let his wings breathe in a place other than home

he was asked by a friend one year why hes a pixie every year and he sweat bullets yet again

“pixies are cool!” 

hes just a pixie trying to live a normal life with crazy hyungs and friends who drive him insane

but he loves them though so its all okay

Bae Jinyoung

click clack

“how do you make that sound??? it sounds just like wood!”

“oh yeah my mouth is made of wood ahaha”

“wHAT”

introducing modern day frankenstein jinyoung

he was made after dying a long time ago in a car accident but was recreated into who he is now by his family

he ran away after finding out how crazy his family really is

occasionally has to do stitches on himself to connect parts again

he doesn't feel pain though

he has stitches on various parts of his body where he was put back together and some internal things replaced

a walking frankenstein

bright side he can do that really cool click clack sound with his mouth and not have to ever worry about throwing up cause no hunger or uvula to worry about

downside he cant have food really anymore because he doesn't have a way to digest it

he misses beef

he is still adjusting a bit to being alive again so he moves around a bit slowly

daehwi jokingly calls him a zombie and jinyoung has to hold his tongue to not curse at him

he gets back at daehwi by shaking his hand and it coming off and making the other faint

he doesn't really understand 

he helps sungwoon and daehwi with their magic though! 

he is kind of like the perfect assistant because he doesn't really feel pain and hes strong

hes just a cutie boy who may as well be half wood (i almost made him pinocchio lol) but is still gonna click clack his way into your heart

Park Woojin

“for the last time daehwi i’m a dragon not a lizard”

that’s right

our boy woojin is a fire breathing dragon

who lives in human form because despite how tempting it is to fly from the house to his classes 

he doesn’t think that people will like that very much

“did you hear about that dragon sighting the other day?”

“dude you’re hallucinating, dragons don’t exist”

woojin sweating bullets to the side

woojin is actually a really young dragon 

as in when he does shift forms its,,,

a small dragon

he isn’t a tiny whelpling but its pretty easy to tell he’s young by how small he is

thus why daehwi calls him a lizard 

when he is in his dragon form, he has bright red scales that are shiny and actually pretty soft

he has to be careful because his natural hair ended up being red and he dyes it all the time in vain to stop it

he’s lucky that red is a common dye color otherwise yikes

he isn’t very greedy lmao a lie

he collects pink things but isn’t willing to admit it just yet

halloween comes around and woojin suffers

he is a manly man who likes manly things

children are his weakness he gives out candy to the ones in dinosaur and dragon costumes because they remind him so much of home and family wow let me hug this boy hold on

living heater v.2

everyone goes to either him or daniel if they’re cold

he takes a lil bit of convincing to cuddle however, he is more reserved than daniel is

shy dragon

he breathes fire when scared/angry

on more than one occasion the home was set on fire due to someone scaring woojin

hes a passionate dance major who sets fire to the stage

i’m sorry

love woojin he is just a smol dragon who is learning and loves dancing and pink

Lee Daehwi

*ahem*

Yer a wizard, Daehwi

moving on

somehow he knows everyone, like everyone

he can recite for memory who is who in a family before even meeting them

daehwi doesn’t look any different than the next person

and then you just see him twiddling a wand around before mumbling something and his shirts suddenly pink

he has seen all of harry potter and loves to point out all the inaccuracies such as;

“why are they so focused on their wands?? you can cast spells without a wand???”

“that is so not how you use troll’s hair”

“wHY IS EVERYONE SO OBSESSED WITH ROBES I DONT GET IT I’M CONFUSION”

he helps sungwoon with his potions!

mostly because no one else will nor do they know where the materials for potions are like daehwi

he learned how to teleport and called it apparate because he is that much of a nerd for the movie despite how much he bashes it

he uses his magic so much its a wonder how he hasn’t been outed for a wizard in his school 

he is incredibly lazy because of magic tbh

“daehwi can you pass the pepper”

“oh yeah sure hyung” 

and he just twirls his fingers and the pepper is floating over to seongwoo

“boi”

very knowledgeable in social media and fashion and makes it his own mission to style the members

he works with jihoon on that one

despite their own.... choices in fashion they know whats good on their friends

if daehwi hates something someone is wearing he’s just gonna change it anyways with his magic lol

halloween is fun because he can decorate the store!!

he loves setting up little decorations that are alive and things for kids to enjoy as they pass by the shop window

the store looks so spooky and festive that it gets a lot of revenue during this time and daehwi couldn’t be prouder

he and jinyoung are best pals, as daehwi helps jinyoung with getting used to being alive again and jinyoung helps him out with numerous things 

dresses up in a witch hat and cape every year no questions asked

“i can do magic in public this way”

he is just a very lovable kid who may not understand boundaries at times but he tries and that’s honestly good enough for everyone

Lai Guanlin

our boy came from under the sea

literally

the merfolk and humans actually already know about each other so guanlin doesn’t really need to worry about people seeing his gills or ears because its not uncommon to see merfolk like him around

he is just cautious cause not a lot of people are really accepting of his kind yet

he just wants to learn about the world he hadn’t been in for so long because he was in the ocean for most of his life

silent frustration from wanna one hyungs who want to protect him

guanlin is a very tall merfolk for both his age as well as species 

he ended up living at the Supernatural Hut™ because some kids at his boarding school bullied him for gills 

and daehwi saw him getting bullied when he was coming back to the shop and boy did daehwi act

he is lucky those guys were turned around when he cast an illusion charm on a trash can

made it look like police jumping out. which scared the life outta those boys and they ran

daehwi proceeded to claim guanlin as his own and run off with him

okay he didn’t actually run off with him but he bought guanlin coffee and declared him his child

guanlin is confusion

“you were lost on your way back home but you found home in us”

“ew that was cheesy minhyun-hyung”

“here i am baring my heart and soul for you and i get rejected like this”

he’s home-schooled there because no one trusts those schools who let guanlin be bullied

protect the maknae 2k17

“so is under water like the little mermaid”

“whats the little mermaid?”

“that’s it kid you’re watching movies with us and you’re ours now you need to know little mermaid.”

he doesn’t really know what’s going on 99% of the time.

he learns very quickly though, and pretty soon he knew all the movies and basic “kid” stuff that every kid needs to experience within a week

he goes for swims in the nearby lake every other day and relishes swimming in the pure water, unlike the water in the shower

seonho, his other merman bud, lives at their home basically and eats all their food 

still his best friend though

he looked like a kid in a candy store when he learned about halloween

dressed up as nemo and it was honestly the cutest thing to see

he is just a lovable fishy boy who wants to learn more about the world 

what is this

Classic sans: i think sci. is to smart. dont you?

fresh: ye...i will show him trUe scienCe.

(he´d walk up to sci.)

sci: hello fresh, what brings you here?

everywhere.it's been so everywhere you don't need a where.you don't even need a when.that's how every it gets.forget this.i wanna be something.go somewhere.do something.i want things to change.i want to invent time and space.and i know it's possible because everything is here and it probably already happened.i just don't know when to start.and that's exactly where it started.whoah, i paused it.i think there's a universe now.what's it made of?quarks & stuffah, that's a thing.in a place.don't like it?try a new place.at a different time™.try to stick together, because the world is gonna get bigger.and emptier.but it's not empty yet.it's still very full, and about a kjghpillion degrees.great news!the quarks are now happily married, in groups of three called a proton or a neutron and there's something else flying around too that wants to join in but can't cause it's still too (HOT)great news!the protons and neutrons are now happily married to each other.and some of them even doubled up.great news, the electrons have now joined in congratulations, the world is now a bunch of gas in space.but it's getting closer together.and it's getting closer together.and it's getting closer toge-it's a star~new shit just got made!some stars burn out and die.bigger stars burn out and die with passion, and make some brand new, way crazier shit.space dust~which allows newer, more interesting stars to be made, and then die, and explode into-- even crazier space dust~so now stars have cool stuff around them, like rocks, ice, and funny clouds, which can make some very interesting things.like this ball of flaming rocks for example.holy shit, we just got hit with another ball of flaming rocks.and it kind of made a mess.which is--now the moon~weather update:it's raining rocks from outer space.weather update:those rocks might have had water inside them, and now there's hot steam in the sky.weather update:cooler temperatures today, and the floor is no longer lava.weather

microscopic speck.it lives at the bottom of the ocean and eats chemical soup, which is being served hot and fresh, made from gnarly space ingredients left over from when it was raining rocks or whatever.oh yeah, and it can do that.it has secret instructions written inside itself telling it how to build another one of itself.so that's pretty nifty, i would say.tired of living at the bottom of the ocean?now you can eat sunlight!using a revolutionary technique, you can convert sunlight into food taste the sun~ side effect: now there's oxygen everywhere and the sky's blue.then the earth might have been a snowball for a while, maybe even a couple of times.it's a sponge.it's a plant.it's a worm, and some other types of weird strange water bugs and strange fish.it's the Cambrian explosion"wow, that's animals and stuff"but we're still in the ocean, hey, can we go on land?no! why?the sun is a deadly lazer!oh okay.not anymore, there's a blanket~ now the animals can go on

missed a spot.don't forget to ban europe from the indian spice trade.what? that's bullshit, said portugal, spiceless.well i guess we'll have to find another way to india ¨wait!¨ said christopher columbus, probably smoking crack.if the world is round, let's go this way to india.nah, don't worry, we already got this, said portugal.so chris goes to spain.hey spain, wanna hire me to find india by going around back of the world?no.please?no.please?no.please?ok.so he sails into the ocean.and discovers more ocean.and then discovers the indies.and japan.let's draw a line to decide who gets which half of the world.the aztec and inca empires are off to a great start.i wonder if they know that europe just discovered their continent?the habsburgs are marrying into so many royal families they might have to start marrying each other.move over lithuania, here comes moscow.ivan wants to make russia great again.move over timurids, maybe go invade india or something.persia just made persia persian again.let's make it the other kind of islam.the one where we thought the first guy should have been the other guy.hey christians!do you sin?now you can buy your way out of hell.that's bullshit.this whole thing is bullshit.that's a scam.fuck the church.here's 95 reasons why, said martin luther, in his new book, which might have accidentally started the protestant reformation.you know what would be magnificent, said suleiman, wearing an onion hat?what if the ottoman empire was really big?which it is now.what if russia was big? said ivan, trying not to be terrible.portugal had a dream that they controlled the entire indian ocean, including the spice trade.and then that dream was real.and spain realized that this is not india, but they pillaged it anyway.damn, said england and france.we gotta start pillaging some stuff.then the dutch revolt and all the hipsters move to amsterdam.damn, said amsterdam.we gotta start pillaging some stuff.question 1: can you get to india through north america?no, but at least there's beaver.question 2: steal the spice trade.that's not a question, but the dutch did it anyway.sugar guess where all the sugar's made?in brazil.stolen! and the caribbean.and it's so god damn profitable you might forget to not do slavery.the next thing on russia's to-do list is to get bigger.britain and france are having a friendly discussion about who should control the entire world.more specifically, ohio.then it escalates into a seven year discussion, giving prussia a chance to show austria who's boss.but what about britain and france, did they figure out who's boss?yes they did.it's britain.guess who's broke?also britain.so they start taxing the hell out of america.fuck you, says america, declaring their independence, and fighting for it.and france helps them win, now france is broke.and britain'll have to send their prisoners to a different continent.wait, if france is broke, why do the king and queen still wear such fancy dresses?let's overthrow the palace and cut all their heads off! said robespierre, cutting everybody's head off until someone eventually got mad and cut his head off.you could make a reli- no, don't.haiti is staring to like the idea of a revolution.especially the slaves, who free themselves by killing their masters.why didn't we think of this before?wait, who's in charge of france now?mesaid napoleon, trying to take over europe.luckily, they banished him to an island.but he came back luckily, they banished him to another island.there goes latin america, becoming independent in the latin american wars of independence.britain just figured out how to turn steam into power.so now they can make many different types of machines and factories with machines in them so they can make a lot of products real fast~ then they invent some trains.and conquer india and maybe put some trains there.hey, china! said britain.buy stuff from us!nah dude, we already got everything, says china.so britain tried to get them addicted to opium.which worked, actually.but then china made it illegal and dumped it all into the sea.so britain threw a hissy fit, and made them open up five cities and give them an island.britain and russia are playing a game where they try to stop each other from conquering afghanistan.also, the sultan of oman lives in zanzibar now"that's just where he lives"india just had a revolution, and they would like to govern themselves now.nope, said britain, governing them even harder than before.technology is about to go crazy the united states finally figured out whether slavery is good or bad.it's bad, they decided.and then they continued manifesting their destiny, which is to kill the rest of the natives and take their land and maybe kick out the mexicans too.i know, let's rape africa, said europe, scrambling to see who could rape it the fastest.theynevergotethiopiabritain and france are still hungry.theynevergotthailandthe united states ran out of destiny to manifest, so they're looking for more.hawaii~cuba--wait, spain controls cuba.well, blame something on them and go to war!what should we blame on spain?let's blame the maine on spain.so they blame the maine on spain.now we're in business.to celebrate, they kick panama out of panama and make a canal, connecting the two oceans.britain just found oil in the middle east.itmakescarsgochina is so tired of being bossed around that they delete their old government and make a new, stronger government, which is accidentally weaker and controlled by a guy from the previous government.europe hasn't had a war since the last war.so they start world war 1.look at those guns.it's gonna be a great war.so great we won't need a second one.after it's over, they blame germany.russia went on strike and the workers overthrew the government.now everyone's paycheck is the same.communism in the soviet union~ the arabs revolt and britain helps.now the ottoman empire's gone so we can give the jewish people a place to live~ hopefully the arabs won't mind.let's cut the cake, said sykes and picot, carving up the remains of the not-so-ottoman-anymore empire.except turkey, turkey makes a brand new turkey~ and then the saudis conquer arabia.it just seemed like the right thing to do.hello?yes, it's the 1920's calling.let's get in the car and drive to a party and listen to jazz on the radio and go to the movies.the economy's great and it'll probably be great forever, just kidding.germany's back, featuring hitler, the angry mustache model.and he's mad at the jews for existing.japan is finally conquering the east, and they're so excited they rape nanking way too hard.they should probably just deny it.hitler's out of control.so the international community tackles him and then tries to explain why killing all the jews is a  bad idea.but he kills himself before they could explain it to him.that's world war 2~ bonus round!pacific showdown.united states vs. japan.fight!finish him let's unite all the nations and have some world peace~ seems legit.hi, i'm gandhi, and if britain doesn't get the hell out of india, i'm gonna starve myself in public.wow, that worked?bonus, now there's pakistan.actually two pakistans.one of them can be bangladesh later.the jews and the arabs finally figured out which one of them should live in the holy land.me, they both said at the same time.let's divide up the land so everyone's happy.sike, they both get angrier~ look out china, there's a new china in china.what's on the menu?communism!no thanks, said the other china, escaping to an island.i wonder which one is the real china?there's the korean war, korea versus korea.nobody wins, then it's on pause forever.let's meet the sponsors.oh, it's the two global superpowers.they're having a friendly debate over which economic system is good, and which one is an evil virus of Satan.and they both have atom bombs.fight!wait, no, that would be the end of the world.let's just keep it cool and spy on each other instead.and make sure we have enough atom bombs.i'll race you to space.now let's make some more countries fight themselves.europe is tired of pillaging other continents, so the continents they were pillaging are tired of being pillaged.so here's a new map, with new countries.now you can't tell who they're being pillaged by.the united states finally decided whether racism is good or bad.they decided it's bad, and the world agrees.south africa might need another minute to think about it.let's check the world population.whoa.okay.technology's better too, that might keep happening.the soviet union decides to relax a little, and accidentally falls apart.europe makes a union, so now they can all use the same money, except britain, because they don't feel like it.let's check the mail.surprise, it's on the computer.whoops, someone just attacked america.i bet they'll remember that.phone call.surprise, it's in your pocket.wanna learn everything?surprise, it's on the computer.now your phone's a computer, which is in your pocket.whoops, the economy just crashed.don't worry, the big banks won't fail because they're not supposed to.surprise!flying robots.with bombs.wanna print a brain?some people have no friends.some people have no food.the globe is warming and, the ocean is full of plastic~ let's save the planet! said everybody, not knowing how.let's invent a thing inventor, said the thing inventor inventor, after being invented by a thing inventor.that's pretty cool.by the way, where the hell are we?FIN

sci: wow. how the heck did you know all that!?

also sorry about the amount of bad word. its in the video but, reading might not be funny, the video is epic and might make you laugh.

 history of the entire world, i guess-- by: bill wurtz

Imagine a spevies swap with Merman Nick and human Miles

Hokay. Hold onto your butts guys (or Butz). This is going to be a long post.Mer!Phoenix would first of all not really fit the whole deep sea merman thing. So he’s an open ocean merman. He likes staying close to the surface, where it’s bright and pretty and there are lots of fish and corals and cool things to watch like boats!! And birds!!!His tail is blue, covered in almost iridiscent scales. His tail/caudal fin would be slightly longer than Miles’, a bit more flowy. A long dorsal fin goes down his back and tail, with two more shorter ones beside it. They kinda match his silly hair spikes I guess haha. They can move up and down like Miles’ but act more as a dorsal fin than Miles’ sensitive spines, that pick up information momre than anything, so they dont move as much. They function as a sail and really only convey his feelings for really big emotions like they’ll only flatten if he’s really really scared. I kinda see him with the cute fin things at his ears too cos they’re cute hahaha.As a merman that lives so high up, he’s probably an omnivore? He can eat fish and shellfish and seaweed cos they actually exist up there. So he has claws too, to catch prey, pry open clams, and cut through seaweed. His teeth, unlike Miles’, are not all sharp. They’re more structured like a human’s, except he has bigger and sharper canines for cracking open shells and stuff.Now onto the plot…After DL-6, or some equivalent of the event, Miles is adopted by VK and taken away from his home, right? If we look at the anime, he wasn’t whisked off to Germany immediately. He was obviously in some big honking house that was near enough for him to run back to his old home in one night. So let’s say he was moved to somewhere somewhat nearby and stayed there for a few years.So poor sad Miles, still mourning his father and generally having a bad time at the VK estate, runs off to wherever he can when he’s free, just to destress and stuff. He ends up by the sea one day. Phoenix, the overly curious little merman at the time, sees this weird legged creature and immediately swims up to the shore and is like “Hi!!!!” in his own language. Miles gets a nasty shock and screams and Phoenix screams and they both scream.Anyway, they both eventually calm down and they can’t understand each other, but they stay there together. Miles likes the company. Phoenix keeps trying to talk to Miles and Miles doesn’t really want to talk but he gives in eventually. And poor lonely Miles, after that, keeps coming back to the shore when he can to talk to this strange fish boy cos he’s lonely and it’s nice to have a friend for once.The two of them are still pretty young, so they learn quickly. They both pick up enough of each other’s languages to communicate. Miles eventually talks about his dad and starts crying and Phoenix is panicking cos Miles is crying!!! He must help!!! He hugs Miles until he stops crying and they pretty much are confirmed Best Friends after that.Phoenix tends to bring Miles gifts from the sea. Fish, shells, jewelery he makes in his free time. Miles will bring Phoenix stuff too. Interesting stuff from the land, more fish Phoenix can’t get from that area or from the sea.A few years later, the VKs finally move to Germany. Miles is so quickly flown away that he doesn’t get a chance to tell Phoenix. Phoenix is, at first, just kinda disapointed when he doesn’t see Miles at the shore. He thinks maybe Miles is busy. Then days pass and Phoenix starts to get sad. Has Miles abandoned him? Moved on to better friends who are more like him? And then he gets worried instead. Miles would never leave him like that, so something must have happened to him. He comes back every single day, waiting, hoping, wanting to see Miles again and to see that he’s fine.Now all this waiting and searching near the shore eventually gets Phoenix into trouble. He gets caught. And then he’s thrown into a tank in the VK aquarium. Except, this time, it’s a big open ocean exhibit, not a deep sea one like for the merMiles AU.At first, Phoenix desperately keeps swimming around, banging on the glass, wanting to be let out. He can’t be trapped here! He needs to find Miles! What about his family? His friends? They will worry about him! He needs to go home! He gets injured a lot because of all that.And then the acceptance that he’s trapped there sets in. He stops trying to break out and ends up listless and lethargic instead. He’s used to swimming long distances. He’s used to having many friends. This is torture to him. He lies at the bottom of the tank, hardly moving. The staff and guests there often worry that he is dead. But he is fine, the caretakers say. He is technically fine. Physically. But inside, he is suffering.Then, one day, Miles finally comes back. He and Franziska are the head marine biologists at the aquarium, only ranked below VK. Franziska has been having a hard time with Phoenix, always trying to make him less dead, but never succeeding. VK is getting exceedingly displeased with her and that’s not good. But Miles comes back from a long trip to Germany, sees the camera footage of the merman, and looks disinterested but says, “Give it some prawns. And throw in some seaweed. It will be entertained for a while.” Franziska looks at him like he’s mad but the staff do it anyways.A box is dropped in for Phoenix then. He looks disinterested at first, only glancing at it, before finally pushing himself off the bottom to investigate the box a few minutes later. And when he opens it, his eyes get just a little wider, like he’s actually excited about something. And, true enough, it keeps him occupied for a while. He takes each prawn, slowly removing the shells, crunching the shells and eating them, before slicing the seaweed with his claws and rolling the prawns up in that and eating it. With something to do, he looks far more lively than he has in weeks.Franziska is all “Miles Edgeworth. Miles Edgeworth! How did you know that would work?! MILES EDGEWORTH!!” But Miles ignores her and continues to be seemingly disinterested in the merman, but keeps giving them tips on how to make Phoenix slightly less miserable.After about a week, Miles is called down to actually visit the tank cos the merman has been repeatedly saying, “Miles! Miles, I know you’re there! Where have you been? Why won’t you see me? Miles!” And then shouting in a foreign language, assumedly saying the same thing but in another language. The staff didn’t even know he could talk and now he’s suddenly yelling about Miles??? So Miles is forced by Fran to visit him.Miles just has to walk in front of the tank and Phoenix immediately rushes forward and pastes himself to the glass the moment he sees his old friend.“Miles! It’s you! I knew it was you, I- Only you knew- Where have you been? I missed you Miles. I-”But Miles’ expression does not change.“You are under my care now and I will ensure that you are taken care of. The Miles you knew as a ‘friend’ is now gone,” he says coldly before walking off. Then Phoenix’s spines fall flat as he watches Miles walk off.After that, Miles is told that Phoenix spent the rest of the day crying.I don’t really know what happens for the rest of he story, but Phoenix, after getting over his sadness, or some of it, decides to try to reach out to the Miles he used to know. He knows this is not Miles. Something must have happened and he’s going to help. And Miles, secretly, does miss Phoenix. But he has it suppressed. But all this contact with this bright and sunny merman threatens to bring his feelings back.

Nootka Travel Journal

My ride showed up and I loaded my things. Except for my headlamp and Nalgene. Inconsequential. A 1 litre smart water bottle like the pros. Breakfast at Green Gables. Edson, Hinton, Jasper, Mt. Robson, Valemount, all passed in a flash. Driving was fast and efficient. Clearwater for lunch, then past whatever small towns before Kamloops, Kamloops, Merritt, and finally Hope, where I write this in my wind battered tent.

Today felt...strange. Not working on a monday. The product of all that anxiety from the weeks leading here. On and off, confirmed and cancelled. I feel like I am cheating, skipping class. I hope everything at work is functioning without me. I know it is. Tristin is capable. I still feel mentally unprepared to be here, like my mind just wont shift into vacation mode. I feel like vacation mode doesn’t exist. What do I even think vacation mode is? Forgetting my normal life while by background stress dissolved and I laugh and have fun in the sun? Taking time to work out my frustrations in life? As I grow and chase a solution to this anxiety I have been fighting I wonder if there is a new angle I need to consider all together. Because this was isn’t working.

It's soothing to travel and experience all these new geographies and landscapes. Cresting a ridge to see the scrubby valleys near Merritt open up, or the dusty brown hills of Kamloops. Thinking of the unique issues and experiences of these different lives. I wonder what they feel when they're in my town. Its getting to dark to write. I will try to sleep, however the space between my head and Highway 1 is about 15 meters and the noise is insufferable. Earplugs should have been a consideration. I forget the name of the camp but at least on the other side is the Fraser River. My goal tomorrow is to find a way to sooth my mind and relax a bit. I can convince myself I deserve it.

Tuesday 23 Hope-Van-Nanaimo-Campbell-Gold River. Had a late evening and didn’t get to write. I recall loud traffic all evening but I eventually slept. Had a dream about kids harassing us in our tents. On the road early and breakfast in whatever suburb of Vancouver.Had to take some business calls: utility locators looking for keys. Seems to have worked out. Navigating Van was white knuckle. Ended up in Lonsdale Quay to meet Nick's friend. Tall blonde who works in HR for an insurance company.Toured the boardwalk. Floating houses, garbage barges, seals. Had a beer in the sun before heading out to the ferry. Was a nice ride but got slightly burnt.Regret not bringing 360 brimmed hat. Or any hat. Thankful for Buff, long har, and sunscreen.

Georges BBQ was excellent.  Drive to Campbell River felt fast.  Took wrong turn looking for Gold River resulting in a 1 h delay.  Overnight hotel in Gold River.  Stress inducing work related dreams. Thought there would be cell service in town, but there was none. I intended to set a voicemail recording to redirect calls, but that plan was cancelled.  I guess now I am truly disconnected. Upset Amanda before I left and was only able to send a simple late night message to her with hotel wifi. 

Wednesday 24 10:26 - Very poor continental breakfast.1/10.  Drive to Air Nootka was quick. Scenery is just unique enough to be interesting.  It's beautiful, but i have seen plenty of mountains lately. I miss open ranges and horizons. Luckily I am about to meet the biggest horizon there can be. We fly out shortly.

2:35 - Flight into Nootka was short and sweet. Trailhead had lush ferns and ancient giant cedars.  After 1/2 hour of hiking we were at the ocean and grey white sands opened up through the trees. The view was magnificent.  For a while I was at ease that this whole experience was worth the stress it took to get here.Missing is cold beer. The ocean wind is cooling and the sun and sand are warm. I will miss this scene.

Seeing the expansive ocean is a strange feeling.  The endless shimmering and long horizon are beautiful, however there is a sad and empty feeling to it. It needs something to compliment it. A boat or storm clouds. I feel my face getting hot. Need to make sure to stay hydrated. Tent is up and I'll have a short rest.

7:12 - We walked the beach and played in the tide.  The occasional cold drops of rain weren’t a concern then.  But sure enough, the rain came.  Slowly across the horizon like a grey wall of fog. Luckily I just finished dinner so I didn’t have to clean in the rain.  I encountered several problems with my cooking setup: I need more water holding devices OR a better water purification system. Ramen is NOT a good backpacking food. It leaves an oily mess and the smell is impossible to remove. The rice I brought requires too much waiting time and also leaves a hard to remove odour. Recommend just plain rice in the future. Tomorrow and today are feeling like non stop rain. Amanda would love it. I admire her positivity in adverse situations, especially being wet while camping. I like her a lot. I think we still need to learn more about each other and our relationship, but I think it's working. I miss her. I wish I could just say Hi. 

Thu 25 I had a terrible migraine in the night. at first it felt like a headache from being on uneven ground, but it didn’t go away when I rotated.  Agony from 1 am to 7 am when I got out and was able to get tylenol. Was good al day, but was worried about what triggered it. Must hydrate more.

  Rained all night. Not much, but enough to coat everything in fine sand. Packed up and hit the trail quite late. Luckily the weather was favorable.  Everything has dried off now. Today I saw the ocean in the way I hope it would be burned into my memory.  At least a kilometer of firm packed sand at mid tide. Low waves rumbled into the shore, small rolling crests crashing into themselves and then inching their way towards my feet as I walked.

7:57 - Sun is setting and again I am moved by the view. A small beach fire and high tide waves. I will take a photo. The ocean is vast and loud and dangerous but it's simple and I think that’s what I like the most.  It's not to bust to sit back and take it in. No concentration is needed to enjoy the scene. See the clouds. See the horizon. See the waves. Birds and boats provide little extra flavours. With zero hills, the walk has been fairly breezy.  I'm tired now, but not mountain tired.I get paid tomorrow. I have no way to prove or check, but I know I do and I like that. It's been an expensive trip. Worth it? We will see. 

Fri 26/Sat 27 Thankfully the rain didn’t start overnight or early morning while we broke camp.  The walk included large rock hopping and pebbles that would sink you to your ankles. It poured.  This walk wasnt noteworthy. The cabin was a nice feature (Nick's cousins own a cabin and invited us to stay with them). We were greeted with a fire, coffee, burgers, and french toast. Dave, Brian, and Janet were the adults. There were about 8 new high school graduates there as well. They began playing drinking monopoly. Part of me was jealous that I was stuck visiting with the "adults" but it's becoming clear that I have no place in drinking monopoly anymore. My skills have departed from drinking games. I am starting to find myself noticing the dissimilarities between myself and the youth- that is, I feel like I am departing fro being young. 

These girls are young and beautiful. One particularly, Kira, is absolutely magnificent. The boys are fresh faced, modern, handsome.  I feel like I missed out on that stage.  There is a youthful and free energy about them all that I dont think I can replicate anymore.  Perhaps it is less about direct attraction and admiration to the physical appearance and more about the attraction and jealousy of being the type of young man who would have a chance at connecting with these girls.

Our cabin hosts have been so great. Food never tasted so good as it did in the middle of this hike.  Dave takes to conversation like it's an extreme sport.  Charming, personable, funny, and great at telling stories.  Things I admire but never truly developed.  I can just sit on a stony beach and write my thoughts.  As a bonus, dave took me and Nick surfing. No waves, just paddling. But legitimate.  It was unexpected, as I always imagined my first time being in Mexico or California. But the foggy grey Pacific Northwest was incedible, and a memory I hope I hang on to. There were wedding preparations going on at the beach. A guy and a girl who were presumably there early for the wedding in a coupe days were also suiting up to go surfing. The girl, who was very fit, stripped on the beach to get into her wetsuit.  A+. 

This morning, some of the boys and girls went upriver to swim.  A quick glance revealed nudity, and again I was filled with envy for the youth and a growing up I never got to expereince. This cabin is definitely a departure from my summers when I was 18. At one point there was a ziplock bag of weed on the table. Definitely different.

11:34 - Today is sunny and warm again.  Clothes and tents are just finishing drying and we should be on our way soon. One more night on the trail, but the experience has definitely climaxed. Nightmares of work still continue. 

7:37 - I'm sitting on a rock watching the last tide roll in. The last sunset on the ocean that I will see for presumably a long while. And to be true, the actual sunset will be concealed by a cliff to the west of the campsite. We had a black bear encounter.  He was digging through a pile of seaweed seeking out sandflies.  He noticed me first and we stared for a bit.  When the guys showed up, the bear just sat there, scratching himself, unconcerened with us.  We found a way around him. Drinking water was scarce and had to be taken from a hidden little grove. It was tea coloured but seemed to be ok, if you dont think about it to much. I slipped on the logs twice trying to get to it. It was the first night with a clear sky, so I made an effort to stick my head out of the tent once it got dark.  I wish I would have been more awake because the sky was undescribable.  It has been so long since I could see the stars down to the horizon. I could immediatly see the glow of the galaxy spiral arms. Bright stars or planets that I might have been able to identify if i hadnt just woke up. There is something that Whitecourt just doesn't satisfy within my, and that could be it.  Perhaps someday I will find a place to commit my life to. But until then, I will be without home. A complete unknown. Like a rolling stone. 

July 28 8:55 - Outer tents were soaked with condensation.  For the first time, I feel how dirty my hair is and I cannot wait to scrub it. Who knows when that opportunity will be.  At least I have a cleanish set of clothes for the ride home.  My finger and toenails are getting long and dirty.  My facial hair is driving me insane. A wash and shave has never felt more appealing.  Makes me wish I didn’t cancel my anytime fitness membership. Free showers across the country. It is a couple hour hike to Friendly Cove where hopefully we taxi back without much delay. Does the taxi run on sundays? These questions plague me.  Im not sure another day out here would be welcome, just due to the unexpectedness. We will see.     

July 31 Back at home and am recounting the last few days of the trip. We did catch the water taxi back to Air Nootka and the car, but only after experiencing the white guilt served up at the church turned museum at Friendly Cove.  Starting around 7 pm we drove from Air Nootka, caught the ferry in Nanaimo from 10:45 pm to 12:50 am. Got a hotel in Hope.  The following day, drove from Hope and stopped in Kelowna.  Had a beer and watched butts for a while. Continued driving to Vernon where Nick met up with another friend who worked at Predator Ridge Resort. She was very cute.  k_duuub on instagram for anyone wondering just how cute. Continued driving to one of those popular houseboating communities. Stopped and ate. Drove to Golden where I took over driving. Cruised through the mountain parks at night, which was a bizarre experience. Non stop driving til I got home. Now I sit here contemplating if I just burn up the rest of my vacation days this week at home. Thank you for reading.
