Bokuto SFW/NSFW Headcannons
Everyone involved in this fic is aged up/18+; continue scrolling or block if you aren’t into this
Warnings; oral sex (blow jobs/pussy eating), car sex, riding, small amount of anal play (Bo teases your ass while he eats you out), mating press, kissing, praising
Note; I wasn’t originally planning on posting but I’ve had a rough night and I just love Bokuto 💕 This is my first time writing for Haikyuu so I hope I can do him justice. Please enjoy 🪽
Second Note; I think I’m gonna have to write one for Kirishima next, s-so many ideas about him 😮‍💨
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Koutarou who is the sweetest man alive, who you’re unconditionally in love with, but…is an airhead (i.e. he loses his phone all the time, forgets plans he’s already made, somehow drops his wallet down a hole at the top of a parking garage that’s 30 feet deep while planking—but miraculously finds it laying on a car below??) who you’ll always help find his shit either way—he needs AirTags
Koutarou who likes to wear lots of colors, whose favorite color is blue, who once got his face painted with a rainbow on it at the fair (he did look pretty, plus the vibrant colors represents how bright his personality is)
Koutarou who practically vibrates with excitement when he sees you watching his games from the stands, who smiles so wide his cheeks may split, who waves at you in the middle of a play (he ran into the net by accident, but he didn’t miss the next spike!!)
Koutarou who turns a sweet shade of pink when he sees you wear his jersey to his game, who picks you up in a sweaty, bear hug (squishing the air out of your lungs) after they’re finished, chatting excitedly in your ear as he carries you a few feet (he only sets you down when Hinata rescues you by reminding him they have to go change)
Koutarou who gets into certain self-deprecating moods sometimes, who lets you help him feel better, letting him talk it out, spending time with him, whispering words of support and encouragement as you poke the dimples on his cheeks (which gets him to smile and giggle almost every time)
Koutarou who likes listening to hip hop and surprisingly—hair metal, who loves singing in the car, who has an astonishingly good singing voice (you love watching him as he drives, he gets so into the music, wiggling in his seat—it’s like your own personal concert) and who loves Paramore—because you showed them to him
Koutarou who takes up half your bed when he sleeps, he’s so fucking tall—and thick🫣(but you love it and use him as your own personal blanket, but he does get really sweaty in the middle of the night so you have to roll away before you melt to death)
Koutarou who loves holding your hand, lacing his warm fingers through yours and tugging you in different directions, no matter where you are, who leans in so close to speak to you, you can see his eyelashes (it never fails to make warmth thickly pool in your belly, traveling up and making your cheeks burn—he always looks at you with stars in his eyes)
Koutarou who is literally always the life of the party—everyone loves the fucking ace, he radiates positive and happy energy—people are drawn to him like moths to a flame, they always want to talk to him and you’re proud of it (plus you don’t mind—besides he always comes home with you at the end of the night)
Koutarou who introduces you to Kuroo, who he has remained friends with after high school, Kuroo, the sly bastard who you’ve grown quite fond of & have become close friends with (instantly clicking over your combined efforts to tease Bo)
Koutarou who loves, loves taking hot showers with you, he likes to hug you under the warm spray, letting it relax both of you and talk about his day (sometimes you end up on your knees, but who can blame you?)
Koutarou who looks so unbelievably hot when his hair is down, no gel in sight as the soft strands frame his sweet face (you can’t help but stare at him until he asks if there’s something on his face, you tell him just how goddamn good he looks—which in turn makes him flush bright pink, dragging you into his lap to make out with him)
Koutarou who really loves when you call him by his given name —don’t get him wrong, but…he can’t help but feel a flash of heat shoot between his legs when he hears your sweet voice calling him Bo (you absolutely know what it does to him)
Koutarou who loves you so fucking much he feels his heart may burst at the seams, who is your best friend, who you can be completely yourself with, who supports you in everything you do, who you know, in your bones, is your one and only, who has been secretly planning on proposing to you for awhile now (FYI— you say yes, Bo definitely cries)
💕NSFW Below This-You Have Been Warned💕
Koutarou who is fucking buff, who is wayy taller than you, who is packed with muscle and his cock is, to say the least…thick, but just long enough to keep from hurting (but lets be real, the thickness is what counts)
Koutarou who gets rock hard so damn fast whenever you kiss his neck, gasping, whining, squirming underneath you when you sink your teeth into the muscle covering his pulse point, tilting his head and melting when you leave a couple hickies (he really tries to cover it up the next day, but Miya Atsumu teases him at practice anyways—he takes it in stride, only blushing a little bit)
Koutarou who only really curses during sex, unable to stop the nasty words from leaving his mouth (you think it’s the biggest turn on when he can’t help but whimper a soft f-fuck when he gets his dick inside you)
Koutarou who loves when you suck his cock, who likes when you’re laying on your back and he straddles your chest, controlling the pace as he thrusts into your mouth, who loves when you grip his ass and help him fuck your throat, who braces a hand against the wall, one hand in your hair as he watches his dick shine with your saliva as it repeatedly disappears between your warm, soft lips, who sees stars when he fucks along your tongue like a track made to make him blow
Koutarou who likes to suffocate between your thighs, always asking you to sit on his face, who grips your hips and forces you to rub your clit over his tongue, who covers his finger in your slick, teasing your asshole until you cum on his tongue, fisting his hair between your fingers (you choke on your moans, pleasure sticky and gooey gushing through your limbs)
Koutarou who was nervous at first when you suggested having sex in his car, but now he’s addicted, who can’t do anything but hold your waist, whimpering mhmm—fuck, that’s it pretty thing, as you hold onto his shoulders, using your feet & thighs to bounce on his cock in the drivers seat that’s been pushed all the way back
Koutarou whose toes curl, cock twitching as his eyes either stayed glued to where your pussy sucks him in or the way your tits bounce in his face (you love it just the same, tilting your head down to watch while you fuck yourself on his dick)
Koutarou who likes to let out high pitched whines & moans in your ear when he fucks you in missionary, who tells you your fucking pussy’s s’good, so tight, gonna make me cum so hard, while he has you folded into a mating press, shivering while he tries to hold back from cumming too quick (it feels like he’s in your throat, he makes you squirt in this position, thumb rubbing your clit roughly)
Koutarou who sits back on his calves, gripping your tits, fucking into you and curling his hips upwards, who makes you inhale sharply, gasping Bo! as you cum, fingers gripping his forearms, who says love when you cum on my cock baby girl, taking my dick so fucking well (you groan through clenched teeth as warm tingles take over your body)
Koutarou who almost cums instantly when you tell him he’s so good at fucking you, making you cum so many times during one round of sex (bro definitely has a bit of a praise kink)
Koutarou who whispers how much he loves you, face flushed when he starts to cum, whose heart thumps wildly in his chest as he groans about how good it feels to fill you up, pussy hugging him so tight (you tell him you love him just the same when he buries his sweaty face in your neck)
Koutarou who can never resist resting all his weight on you afterwards, snaking his arms around you and snuggling you tight as you both soak in the post orgasm glow, who helps you clean up and gets you water before you both take a nap or go to bed for the night

We’ve Got a Secret (Dad!Eddie x Mom!Reader)
Tumblr media
Read Part I here!
Warnings: lil bit of language, pregnancy, anxiety, weight gain, literally so much fluff your teeth will hurt
WC: 1.6k
Taglist: @dylanmunson @tayhar811
April 1992
“Babe, you ready?” Eddie calls from the living room where he’s slipping on his Dio vest. 
“No, I’m not going!” you respond back, nearly in tears.
“So I’m just supposed to tell everyone about you being pregnant...without you?” he teases gently. A frown forms on his face when he doesn’t hear you say anything; just the sound of light sniffling coming from your bedroom.
“What’s going on?” He peers in to find you laying back on the bed, struggling to close the button on your favorite jeans. “Oh, sweetheart...”
“They...don’t...fit!” you cry out, giving up and letting the tears fall. You’re only three months along, but you’ve gained a little weight, and it must be enough that your pants don’t fit anymore. “I don’t get it! They just fit last week.”
Eddie chuckles and presses a kiss to your temple, then to your pregnant belly. “You’re growing a whole human. You have to be kind to yourself.” He pauses for a moment. “Wait here.”
He rummages through the bathroom and you hear a small “a-ha!” as he closes a drawer. He holds up a hair tie in his hand triumphantly. “You can use this to keep your pants up while they’re technically unbuttoned.” You give him a confused look. “Steve told me about it,” he explains sheepishly.
“What is he, the pregnancy guru?” you ask, but you take the hair tie and it works. Your shirt is a little big, so it covers your handiwork. “Huh. Would ya look at that.”
“Now, c’mon, let’s go,” Eddie whines. “We gotta stop off at Wayne’s before dinner and tell him!” You’d already told your parents, who were ecstatic at the idea of a grandchild. Your mom called you this morning to let you know she picked up some baby clothes because she just got so excited.
Eddie holds your hand as he drives to his uncle’s house. His left leg is bouncing and he keeps looking over at you with a grin.
“He’s gonna freak out in the best way,” Eddie can’t contain his excitement. He stops at a red light and grabs your face, punctuating the kiss with an exaggerated mwah!
You giggle. “Eds, I’ve never seen Wayne do more than crack a smile. He didn’t even cry at our wedding.”
“Just you wait and see, Mama Munson,” he says. His new nickname for you fills you with giddiness and warmth. 
~
Eddie raps at the trailer door frantically. 
“Stop it! You’re gonna scare him!” you hiss. In your right hand is a small gift bag. You clutch it tightly, like it’ll float away if you don’t. “Sorry, Wayne!” you call out. “It’s just us.”
Wayne opens the door with a roll of his eyes. “What the hell is wrong with you, boy?” He pokes Eddie in the chest, but your husband just laughs.
“Sorry. Just have something for ya.” He takes the gift bag from your hand and gives it to his uncle.
“’s not my birthday...” Wayne steps back so you and Eddie can come in. Eddie takes your hand and squeezes it inconspicuously.
“Just open it!” he practically shouts. He’s just a ball of nervous energy; he’d probably be bouncing around the trailer if you weren’t holding onto him.
Wayne shoves the tissue paper aside and pulls out a mug. “Oh, good. Don’t got enough of these,” he says sarcastically.
“You have to read what it says,” you offer, watching as his eyes scan the text plastered on the front of the mug.
“World’s Best Grandpa...” he reads. It takes half a second for him to process it, and then a huge grin spreads across his face. Eddie looks at you, his facial expression screaming I told you so.
“I’m gonna...you’re--” Wayne turns to you, and you can only nod to confirm. Tears spring to your eyes and you’re 100% sure it isn’t just the hormones. “This is the happiest day of my life, and I bet it will be until that baby of yours arrives.”
“I’m due October 25. Can you wait until then?” you ask through your tears. Wayne hugs you, then grabs Eddie and hugs him too.
“You two are gonna be the best parents,” his voice catches and he clears his throat. “And whenever you need a break, just send ‘em over to Grandpa Wayne’s.”
The three of you spend a few more minutes talking about how you’ve been feeling, your plans to get a two-bedroom apartment, and potential baby names until your stomach growls embarrassingly loudly.
“Eds, looks like the baby needs to eat,” Wayne jokes, and you say your goodbyes as you scramble back into the van. 
While you were excited to tell Wayne about your pregnancy, you’re nervous to tell the “kids” (they were all in college now, but they would always be Eddie’s little sheep). What if they got upset about something taking Eddie away from them? They still met up on school breaks to play Dungeons & Dragons. Would they be upset if Eddie had to cancel because the kid had a fever?
Eddie senses your anxiety and puts his big hand on your thigh, rubbing his thumb over you. “What’s eatin’ ya, baby?”
You shake your head. “Nothing...just worried about how everyone else is gonna react, ‘s all.”
“Are you kidding me? They’re gonna lose their shit! Did you know that every time Dustin sees me, he asks me when he’s gonna be an uncle?”
“No way!” you laugh, but you know it’s the truth. 
“I’m serious!” Eddie’s laughing, too. “And I keep reminding him, ‘you’re Andy’s uncle!’ but you know that kid--it’s in one ear and out the other.”
“Sounds like Dustin,” you agree. Leaning back in your seat, you relax just a bit, though your nerves aren’t fully settled, and they won’t be until you can gauge everyone’s reaction.
~
Everyone’s at Steve and Nancy’s when you arrive. Dustin, Lucas, and Max are chasing after Andy, who never seems to run out of energy. It makes you wonder how much chaos your little one is going to cause. Will, Mike, and Eleven are helping Steve with dinner, while Nancy is setting the places at the dining room table.
She gives you a knowing smile. Eddie had to tell Steve that he was right, that you are pregnant, and Steve told Nancy--and Robin, who wasn’t able to make it tonight, but had called you as soon as she heard the news.
“All right; dinner’s ready!” Steve calls, pulling a pan of roast chicken out of the oven. Mike brings over the salad, Will grabs the rice, and El grabs a few bottles of salad dressing from the fridge.
“No marinara sauce,” Steve whispers to you teasingly. You mouth thanks and sit down next to Eddie. As soon as everyone else is seated, Eddie clears his throat.
“Before you all start boring us to death with your complaints about midterms and roommates, I just want to let you know that there will be a new member of Hellfire joining us for future games,” he starts. 
Mike looks up worriedly, always concerned about newcomers in the group. “What? Who is he?”
“How are you so sure it’s a guy, Mike?” Max shoots back, getting a giggle from El.
“How many girls do you know who are trying to join Hellfire?” he retorts and turns back to Eddie. “When is he starting?”
“Probably around October,” Eddie answers before Lucas cuts him off this time.
“October? Why is he gonna take so long?”
“Damn, Sinclair. We don’t want this baby coming too early.” you pipe up from your seat. Eddie runs his fingers through your hair.
“FINALLY!” Dustin jumps up, nearly knocking over his glass of water. He shoots Nancy and apologetic glance before continuing. “This is gonna be the most metal kid ever!”
“Wait, can we throw you a Dungeons & Dragons themed baby shower?” Will asks. He joined Hellfire after moving back to Hawkins, and Eddie quickly accepted him into the group.
“That sounds awesome. Just nothing too scary,” you reply with a smile. Will nods, and you can basically see the wheels turning in his head. He’s always been the most creative of the bunch.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” asks Eleven.
“We want to be surprised,” Eddie answers. He pushes a lock of hair behind his ear, making his beaming smile even more visible.
“This kid definitely needs a Hellfire onesie,” Lucas adds, and Dustin nods in a agreement.
You turn to Mike. “What do you think, Wheeler?” Mike has been the most resistant to you. When Eddie told them he was proposing to you, Mike asked him if he was still going to play with them.
Mike smiles, melting your worry. “I think he--or she--will need a Hellfire blanket, too.”
You stand up to give him a hug, and everyone else joins in.
“Careful! Don’t squish the baby!” Dustin says suddenly, which sends everyone into a fit of laughter.
~
After dinner, you and Eddie head home. The pregnancy fatigue, combined with the high emotions of the day, leave you exhausted. You’re yawning in the passenger seat as Eddie talks to you.
“You feeling better now, sweetheart?”
You grab his right hand, which is resting on the gearshift, and squeeze it tight. “You know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? Well, we have the best village there is.”
“That we do, baby,” Eddie brings your hand to his lips and kisses it. “That we do.”

PLEASE reblog and reply! I love seeing your feedback and thoughts :)

costar reader and bella messing around on set of tlou?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
costar! reader, platonic and romantic, gnreader!,
i adore this idea <3 making this for some of us who just wanna be friends with bella.
platonic
i know damn well everyone would be looking for you guys on set just to find y’all in a corner making tiktoks. i can’t be the only one who thinks bella would 100% be down to make funny tiktok dances with you. lmaoo i can see them doing the “my blickyyy uponnn the dresserr” trend.
boredom is something you and bella have banished from set. you have a 2 hour wait in the middle of the woods. y’all are picking up sticks and fighting each other. playfully obviously but someone’s definitely gonna get hurt in the end. it’d start by you finding a big stick and challenging bella with a “HUSSAH” and she’d immediately match your energy, running off to find her own stick. y’all would get told off for getting ur clothes dirty (you end up rolling around in mud and dirt). bella simply shrugs it off reminding them you’re both literally on the set of the last of us. bless ur stylists fr
the perks of being on the set of tlou is that you guys get to shoot in some really cool places. when bella can she rlly loves using the camera you got her for their birthday. always makes you lose in front of the pretty views with big mountains in the back. has embarrassing an embarrassing video of you spilling down a hill and getting your entire ass handed to u. you’ll get her back by sneaking photos of her and pedro sleeping with their mouths open lmaooo. you two are always sneaking photos and documenting the whole experience, smth everyone will be grateful for later on.
romantic
although you both try to remain as professional as possible and not let ur relationship get in the way of ur actor duties. you guys r the cheesiest and cutest mfs on set. will steal kisses right before director yells “action” (can u guys tell ik nothing abt being on a set lmaoo) you guys are famous for taking ur naps together when you have time and are exhausted. two idiots, sleeping in their chairs, hand and hand.
giggle attacks. i know the crew is SICK OF YALLLL. you’ll say one stupid joke and you’re both GONE. cut the show, end it, done for the day yall r menaces. bella will try her best to hide her giggle into your shoulders but it’ll just make u laugh even more. will shush you, finger to her lips. tries everything she can think of to get u to stop. puts both of their hands on your face and tells you to take a ‘deep breath’ and whilst making eye contact. YALL WERE ROLLLINGGG ON THE FLOOR.
if you forget a line, even once, you’ll never hear the end of it from bella. they’ll find it the funniest thing on the planet and will tease you relentlessly for it. silent treatment mode activate‼️‼️ will genuinely beg for ur forgiveness once u don’t budge “babe no pls i’m sorryyyy, cmon tell me what will make this better? cmon how can i get you to forgive me hmm?” lots of pouting they’re soo cute. but you’re STUBBORN. “hmm how bout some kisses?” boom you got her exactly where u wanted her. she’ll attack your face with kisses until you break out in giggles. will continue to do so until you pry her off you. “yeah? my prtty bby likes kisses?” you give her one big long kiss before pulling away. “yes idiot, i do like your kisses but istg stop making fun of me now”
bella is so gf it acc makes me blush deeply sometimesss. i love writing about how it would be like to be around cuz they seem so fucking lovely

Most likely to with some trainees please?
Boys planet MLT’s; a thread!
Tumblr media
featuring: gyuvin matthew s.hanbin keita junhyeon zhang hao seunghwan honghai gunwook jay
fluff!
a/n: i use mlt kind of loosely, making every question less of a rant of most - least but more one option - another option
being pampered vs pampering
being pampered
honghai, gyuvin
i mean it’s kinda obvious
honghai is a total baby
he just wants to be little spoon after a long day of work and can u blame him :(
gyuvin LIVES off praise, he needs to hear from you hes doing it right even if it’s just simple things like cooking or doing chores
both of them spend nights giggling kicking their feet twirling their hair biting their finger over sweet texts you send
just clingy
so incredibly clingy
the more i write the more i realize gyuvin is so bf coded ☹️☹️
gunwook, matthew
now you might be wondering
how is gunwook not with the former??
to that i say he’s totally pamper you to as a congrats
you aced an exam? he’s out buying you ice cream and best BELIEVE he’s gonna be feeding you
if you can’t sleep he’ll tuck you in and sing you a lullaby <33
matthew has no preference
you just happen to end up spoiling him more often
you just can’t resist his aegyo ☹️❤️
he uses this to his advantage
“babbbbyyyyy can you pleassseee make ramen for me” while batting his eyelashes
jay, junhyeon
it’s very unpredictable w them
theres no set dynamic w either of them
you want him to buy something for you? sure!
he’s feeling little spoon in the moment? you’re big spoon 🫵
neither of them care very much
if i had to pick one way or the other jay is more likely to spoil you and junhyeon is more likely to be spoiled
potentially unpopular opinion..
junhyeon seems like he’d be very calm and chill in a relationship
he uses all his energy and humor with his friends youre his little safe area to recharge his social battery
jay is just always a very down to earth guy
he doesn’t really care either way 90% of the time
keita, zhang hao
they just have very motherlike tendencies
they’ll naturally buy things for you cause “you’ll run out soon anyways”
keita writes songs for you all the time
if morning texts were a love language that’s what zhang hao has
he hasn’t missed a single day of saying good morning and good night to you even if there was no other conversation that day
keita likes paying
i cant explain it but anytime you’re out you might as well not bring your wallet cause he’s gonna fist fight you before you’ll ever buy anything around him
the ONLY time you’ve paid was on your first date where you split the bill
seunghwan, hanbin
seunghwan moreso than hanbin
his face would curl in disgust at your attempt of big spooning
“what do you think you’re doing?? come over here” he wraps arms around your waist, leaving you as mush in his hold
hanbin is also very motherly
would literally make a lunchbox for you everyday if he could
both of them are just so good at indulging and pampering like i’m at a loss for words
i cant even explain on paper it just makes sense okay
i’m right my word is final!!!
pampering
easily jealous vs secure
easily jealous
gyuvin, gunwook
not necessarily possessive??
but they’re the type to death glare ANY guy that comes your way
gyuvin is probably a lot more pouty and gunwook
like gyuvin would be so clingy if he felt threatened in your relationship
hes just a lil insecure and needs reassurance but it’s okay cause we love him for it 💔
gunwook says he likes pda cause he likes physical touch
hes lying
it’s so he can basically let everyone around the two of you know you’re off limits
he feels like you’re too good to be true
he needs to fight for you yk
if you tell either of them to knock it off they def will though
junhyeon, keita
they’re more willing to let things go
like if it’s just someone checking you out they’re chilling
it’s when flirting starts that drives them mad
i think keita would be more vocal about it
he’d do something immediately
“you’re just so stunning-“ “arent i lucky?”
junhyeon would watch on the sidelines then scold you afterwards
once you give a friendly reminder they’re perfect for you theyre back to chilling
not nearly as much guard dog energy as the other two
but don’t mistake that as chill
keita has def said some things in the moment he wish he could take back
honghai, hanbin
the pouty boys
it takes a while for them to crack, it wjen it happens they’ll be SO WHINY
hanbin is so petty
“how does this look on me?” “why don’t you ask ___?”
hai isn’t passive aggressive he just gives you the silent treatment
most of the time some rando isn’t gonna hurt their pride
it’s your friends thatre a lil too close to you…
which results in full blown fights
it gets resolved though cause communication is sexy 🙏
zhang hao, jay
it’s not that they don’t get jealous
they just handle it pretty well
instead of being like gunwook who’s practically holding you or like keita who makes sly remarks theyll be silent in the moment
afterwards they rationalize it in their head and their fine
it’s not that there’s no communication
they just realize you’re loyal and they don’t have to worry 💯💯
i think hao is more likely to say something
not a whiny or petty comment but just a genuine “do you realize ___’s intentions with you?”
very down to earth men
they don’t wanna fight they just wanna head empty love partner
and we love that tbh
seunghwan, matthew
SO SELF ASSURED
like they would argue with their friends over their lack of jealousy
“why would i be worried about ___? they’re not the one kissing y/n are they?”
they genuinely cannot fathom a possibility where you cheat
which is reasonable cause let’s be real youd FUMBLEEE if you lost one of those two 😵‍💫
seunghwan might have doubts here and there but overall he can realize how important he is to you and that solves most issues
secure
going out vs staying in for dates
going out
junhyeon, seunghwan
it’s like an adventure to them
so many more possibilities on things to do
junhyeons fave dates are when you go out late at night and see what’s open
will you end up spending 4 hours at a theatre hopping around random movies at random times? will you find a cool dinner spot? will you scavenge through an abandoned building? it’s always an adventure!
seunghwan likes going to romantic places
takes you on picnics, going to a carnival, renting a karoke bar, bowling
he would totally have a bucket list of cliches he’d want to fulfill
he also just likes showing you off to the world <33
the best part is when you guys go home together both exhausted and rambling about everything you experienced throughout the day
taking showers after spending a hot day in the sun in the summer 😵‍💫 or a warm bath if it’s a cold winter day ❤️
*WALL*
jay, gyuvin
definitely prefer staying at home
does not mind going out though!
gyuvin has made it his personal duty to find the best cafe in town with you
you both have your own ranking you bicker over all the time
secretly his long term goal is learning your perfect pastry and trying to recreate it
he’s not telling you though itd ruin the sincerity of the coffee shop nights
jay wouldn’t mind every once in a while
it would get draining after like the second time a week though
has a soft spot for places like an aquarium or an arcade
places that might come off as childish
those jay could go to all day everyday
still doesn’t beat a nice cuddle session while watching a movie by a LONG SHOT for either of them
hanbin, keita
homebodys at heart
would do it for you though
especially if they have super outgoing s/o’s
very easy to convince
will react in very opposite ways though
if hanbin ends up agreeing on a date night out hes making 100000 steps and plans
he knows exactly where you’re going and when you’re going down to the minutes
he wants it to be perfect for you!
keita though
he lets you pick
“you wanted to go out! so where should we go??”
very easygoing though
down for literally anything you’d wanna do
except like rock climbing sky diving or axe throwing
that’s a hard no
matthew, gunwook
i honestly have nothing to say here
it just makes sense okay
im tired
bare with me
zhang hao. honghai
okay homebody by ph-1
their ideal date is making a lil dinner for you then playing a board game or video games
simple men
they just like being with their safe person in their safe space
zhang hao will show you all his fave tv shows and want your reactions
hai will spent HOURS just scrolling on tiktok with you next to him
it’s like a game to see how synchronized your fyps are
if either of them have a pet they’d love playing with their pets w you
if you have a pet theyd have play dates
doesn’t matter the species
you guys will make it work
like who says it wouldn’t be iconic to have a dog and bird friendship??
staying at home

Astrology Observations (Cardinal Rising Sign Edition)
Below are my observations based on personal encounters with people who are a/an xyz rising.
1. I have only met 2 Aries risings in my life and boy were they bold. When I first met them, I felt as if I had to keep up with what they have and who they were. I’ve had on and off vibes with them just because of how impulsive they were. When they get to decide really well, where things are put through and their minds are at a ‘calm before the storm’ phase, they really get what they deserve but when it’s the total opposite, they can be such a mess and suddenly the world turns black and white for them. It’s so up and down. They’ve got a pretty rbf too and when you get to know them, they’re so spontaneous and loving by nature. I noticed that they get gossiped a lot too and some of those things I heard are literally far from being true too like there was this one time, one aries rising friend of mine had been gossiped around, saying she was bullying one of her friends in her own circle and it came out to be a lie after a year and the truth was actually the opposite 😭 it was such a messy thing back then. She was so furious about till now but she has forgiven everyone involved in it already. Her damn big heart.
2. I don’t think I have ever met a Cancer rising before but there was this guy who gave off so much of that energy or character—appearance wise. He was so selfless, friendly, and fun to be with. At first, I thought he was genuinely just gonna be a quiet person but nope. We’ve gotten close and he’s now laughing and crying a lot lol. He’s also the type to sleep during the day too and stays awake at night for who knows how long. It’s like he’s the total embodiment of a moon who just stays up at night instead of sleeping. I also noticed how he’s only extra goofy when it’s night time but only when he feels like it. He loves to stay at home so much his friends just comes over a bunch of times to hang out. His home is extra cozy too so it’s really cool. Are any cancer risings like this too? I just don’t really know lol.
3. Next, Libra rising babies! I only know one who has this as their ascendant and they’re my favorite person ever. They’re just so easy going, smart, and charismatic! They’ve help me with my confidence too. They just radiate soft and ‘I have your back’ energy. They love taking pictures of every moment too and I find it really cute about them because they just wanna store memory and have it as a reminder of how everything are well spent. I swear, they have so much grace in them. And yes looks can be deceiving, some of them are really cunning to the core too. But that’s only when they’re sensitive spots are provoked. They’ll give you the taste of your own medicine for sure.
4. There’s only one Capricorn rising I know and it’s one of the people I’ve been friends with for so long. They’re so low maintenance as a friend and I love how they just know what they’re talking about every time. Most of the time they get misunderstood and mistreated for no reason but I think it’s just out of others’ insecurities or issues projected onto them most of the time. Not that this is generalized for every capricorn risings but this does happen to this person a lot. The only thing they can do about it as a response is to not give a fuck actually. They stay on their grounds and remain poised no matter what. They absolutely know their worth despite how life has been a dread to them at such an early age. High on privacy. “What you see is what I allow” energy. They’re also obsessed with the idea of finding stability and living life to the fullest too. That’s why money is heavily associated with capricorns in general bc of that and it’s a lot of pressure.

Everybody Hates Lila (And Why It’s Concerning Sometimes)
Lila Rossi is not a stranger in the Miraculous fandom. In fact I’d argue she’s more infamous than Gabriel in some cases. She’s despised by nearly everyone and while some reasons are more justifiable than others, she’s all around not a good person and a mid at best character.
But here’s my deal with it. The fandom hates this girl to I’d like to say an….unhealthy degree. Like the amount of salt this character gets is unmatched. And I feel like the causation of all of this salt doesn’t really live up to the response.
Lila is a liar who causes characters to act out of character very often. And not only that but she also is Marinette’s main rival now and is a jerk to her. She’s underutilized and her lies aren’t that convincing and yet the story wants to convince us she’s more important than she really is pre butterfly miraculous.
This is Lila’s character summed up. At the most I’d expect is frustration mixed in with mild dislike. Reasonable but not over the top. Instead though, I see SEVERAL people make so many salt fics and talk so much shit about her that I just have to sit down and say….y’all need to chill. You all seriously need to chill.
The fandom talks about this character like she’s the spawn of Satan, something we’ve been criticizing Astruc for doing with Chloe, all because she doesn’t have as many redeeming traits as her. Did we forget that they’re BOTH kids? Both of them still have room to improve on themselves.
And I’ll admit it, I was one of those people who kept on saying “Why demonize Chloe when we have Lila” but thinking on it now, neither of them deserves to have that fate. If we REALLY need a character to do the whole “people don’t change” thing, why not Gabriel?
It’s so much better to have this lesson taught to adults to not be like Gabriel, to accept change and loss and to be better. To teach how heavy the impact of a lost love can be and how old age isn’t an excuse to be “stuck in your ways”.
Plus the lesson works better for someone who’s older than for teenagers who’s literally at the stage of their lives where change is everything. And I’m not saying Lila needs to be redeemed or she isn’t allowed to be a villain. What I’m saying is that the over salting on her character, a character that can be easily fixed and patched up, is kinda dumb and kinda annoying to see…especially when some people do like Lila.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, don’t think I’ve forgotten what happened years ago with that one fan that claimed that they loved Lila. That’s what happens when you take salting on a character WAY too far. And I can say that it’s only gotten a little better.
I just don’t understand why people can’t spend their energy talking about how to make a character better instead of salting on them 24/7 and this goes for all of the characters in ML.
I’m gonna be in the minority when I say this but Lila doesn’t deserve to be salted in as much as she does. She deserves reevaluation and a true villain arc. The constant bashing and insulting her at any chance ain’t it.
But you wanna know the thing that frustrates me the most about the Lila salt? How she started getting salted on in the first place. Aka, her being another barrier to Adrienette.
If y’all don’t know already, I don’t like the lovesquare and even back then I didn’t like it. And when I started seeing people hate Lila for this reason, I got very annoyed. It’s the same reason as to why people hated Kagami and it’s a stupid reason (imo). At least the other reasons why she’s hated had some foundation and sense.
TLDR: Lila is a mess but she’s not a mess that’s beyond repair but the constant salting on her and her character isn’t going to do anything. (If you really wanna salt on someone, salt on the writers for making her writing so subpar)

I started whb recently and frankly I’m glad I found blogs like yours that focus on headcanons, lore and writing. This sounds dumb but I find the actual WHB MC from the game really unrelateable but I think it’s not because they’re a blank slate(which would be better in this case), but they’re just two things: Solomon descendent and 24/7 horny. Nothing else, no sense of self or decision in anything. It feels railroady with zero choice in dialogue.
Like we’ll use Raphael’s first story because that was available for preview: I personally wouldn’t be happy that Beel gave us very….interesting items as a gift. The game makes you elated to have them but like that isn’t my cup of tea yknow? I mean that section would have been perfect for a dialogue choice to show that you love it or are weirded out, which could make the story interesting because you end up using them on Raph so it’s like, better use of the present sort of scenario. I get this is a h-oriented game but not everyone is into certain things, or hypersexual and that’s where I feel the story falls flat and I just ignore the mc and pay attention to everything else. I hope that makes sense.
Hi anon, welcome welcome!! I hope you find everything you need with the blogs you interact with, including my own because believe it or not I understand what you mean here about the MC. I rarely run into MCs that are relatable, and when I do it's such a breath of fresh air. In this case, this is why I made my own because the MC for WHB is just...phew idk they disappoint me sometimes and then the 'choices' we get in the game are barely there. In the exmaple you provided, I literally made this reaction when I found out he gave that to MC
Tumblr media
because like Beel, honey...did you even check to see if MC even likes anal beads? Or even wanted a sexy outfit when everyone else got like wholesome gifts that matched their interests? But...Beel is Beel and I'm sure that's why Bael is always stressed out in the first place lol. Back to your point though, MC just brushes it off and made the best of it, which fine, but I would of liked to see the option of rejecting the gift because I really wanna see how the Kings react when you tell them 'no' and who actually respects boundaries. Just like I got excited when MC showed a bit of backbone with Satan telling him "he's done worse" when he got all pissy at them for interrupting him without meaning to. But they backed down at the end and I was like NO KEEP THE ENERGY TELL HIM ABOUT HIMSELF. I would. I know what's happening later for being mouthy, but still he's gonna hear it. I think I'd like MC more if they were like "I'm literally only doing this because I wanted my friend back alive, so I'm not just gonna roll over because you're demons." and then use the fact that their the descendant as further proof that no one else can do this or break the bonds but me, so ya'll act up if you want to I've got time. You know? I went on a ramble anon, sorry but I totally get it.

Maneater au where oscar is just like her little trophy boyfriend.
Theres an even she was invited to? Oscar is on her arm. Theres an annoying ass photoshoot at six am? Oscar is sitting there with an energy drink watching her get all her pretty pictures. She wins a race? Oscar is waiting and watching her from under/is on the podium with her.
He’d honestly just be so happy to be there for her. She can do literally no wrong in his eyes. She shunts into someone in turn one knocking both cars out because they said something bad about him? He’s instantly like “Oh baby, you did so good and im so proud of you. Lets get takeout and watch your favorite movie” and if they happen to have dirty nasty sex on the couch while the movies still playing he’d never complain.
-🥰
(lmao yeah the 😍 emoji is lowkey scary)
he’s her trophy boyfriend!!! he goes everywhere with her and you bet she’s the one dressing him for any event they go to. i can imagine lewis noticing he’s dressing well and complimenting him and he’s like haha yeah my gf dresses me! kinda sheepish because he feels silly when he tells people but she deserves all the credit. she loves doing it and he knows he looks good bc of everyones compliments, so he doesn’t really mind. then suddenly his girlfriend is besties with lewis hamilton bc they bond over fashion. the three of them go to fashion shows that lewis and his gf get invited to and he’s tagging along, mostly clueless, while they chat up designers and models and even though he’s surrounded by gorgeous people, he’s just in awe of his girlfriend and how good she looks in the vintage or custom designer. there are memes, like gigi hadid is on the runway and gf and lewis are watching gigi, but oscar’s watching his gf like she’s the one on the runway.
them getting a podium is everyone’s favorite thing bc they shower each other with champagne and its always weirdly erotic plus there’s one time they make out after she gets her first win. he pours his champagne into her mouth and momentarily forgets they’re on live tv and have a massive crowd watching them. he's taken aback by how hot she looks as she swallows the champagne and then licks her lips and he pulls her down for a kiss on their podium steps. everyone is screaming and cheering, the third person on the podium is still spraying them with champagne and it’s like a vmas best kiss. iconic.
he’s so obsessed with her she can do no wrong. and she’s so protective over him when she sees a mclaren on the side of the track she’s radioing in like “did someone hit my bf??” as if she’s gonna take them out in revenge if someone did. if someone really did, then as soon as she’s out of her car she’s seeking oscar out to make sure he’s okay, holding back her anger until she knows he’s safe. after the first time he learns to hold her in place after she hugs him because her second stop after checking on him is whoever crashed him out, to yell at them and ask them what the fuck is wrong with them. he thinks its cute how protective she is over him, but not everyone finds it so endearing. he’d calm her down and convince her to just leave with him after their media duties and she promises she won’t do anything.
but then she sees them during her interview and she’s calling them out like, “hey! did you apologize to my boyfriend yet? no? go fucking apologize!” they immediately find him and apologize and then tweet an apology publicly bc she scares them. once they’re back in their hotel room and cozied up for a movie, she’d crawl onto his lap and start telling him how glad she is that he wasn’t hurt at all, but she needs to double check and make sure the doctors didn’t miss any bruises. he thinks she’s serious until she takes his shirt off and starts kissing his chest.

hello!!
i love your writing and was wondering if i could request where the reader and marc are like partners in crime but they’re like major frenemies and act like they hate each other and then on a mission they meet steven for the first time and he kisses her and marc gets upset bc he wanted to do it first 😊
AHH that means a lot thank you ❤️ i'm literally obsessed with this idea thank you so much for requesting!! i had so much fun writing this and i hope you enjoy :)
pairings: marc spector x reader, steven grant x reader
warnings: angst!! very much angst!! fluff!! suggestive content!! language!! marc being slightly infuriating, steven being adorably awkward and reader being down bad :) 
word count:  5.4k words ahh 
PART 2 is out!! :)
Tumblr media
“Well, he wouldn’t have got away if you had just done what you were supposed to. Or what, you can’t listen to simple instructions now? Huge surprise.” Marc scoffed, throwing his small penknife on the ground as he paced away from where you stood, anger radiating off you.
“It’s not my fault you’re not fast enough.” You groan, nails digging into your palms as you mentally scream. 
“If you hadn’t let him get away, I wouldn’t have had to chase him!”
“For fuck sake, your infuriating-”
“-I’m infuriating? You’re the one who messed up-”
“Oh, here we go again, like a broken record, over and over-”
“Fuck you!”
“ENOUGH!” Neither of you had noticed the god appear until his voice boomed out, making you jump slightly. Marc groaned, and you were about to call him childish when Konshu continued, “I don’t care for this foolish bickering. The both of you failed-”
“But he let the them-”
“SILENCE! I will not have this. You mortals,” Konshu rubs his bony temple in stress, stress that his avatars, the ones who carried out his duty, couldn’t always get along. He thought there was progress one fateful night when the two were celebrating, drinking. That night, the energy was different. Lighter. But there was something heavier underneath, an undeniable force which compelled the two to star at each other a moment longer than usual, that had their cheeks heating and hearts skipping- and not just from the alcohol.
Alas, all it took was a failed mission to bring it all crashing back down.
“Need I remind you that everyone is replaceable. You need me.”
“Fine. I’m sorry.” You force out, kicking a stone with your shoe to distract from any form of eye contact.
“What do we do now? Harrow got away.”
“Really?” Sarcasm was laced in your tone and Marc smirked mockingly.
“You serious? We gonna do this shit again?” One look from Konshu shut you both up, knowing he wasn’t lying, that he had full control over everything.
“You must find him. Get back what’s mine. Or so help me…”
“We will. Promise.” You stuck your pinkie out, earning you a weird look from both Marc and the God, to which you awkwardly cough, putting your hand down. And then, after a final warning, Konshu was gone. “Let’s just get back to the hotel.” You mutter as Marc agrees, refusing to even look at you as he stalks away. You can’t help but roll your eyes at the nothing short of infuriating man in front of you.
This was going to be a long week.
The front desk was empty, and your exaggerated push of the bell was left to no avail. You groaned, feeling the tiredness and dirt settle into your bones as all you could think about was sleep. “Looks like nobody’s here.” Marc muttered.
“No shit sherlock.” He shot you a look and you didn’t have it in you to offer anything else. After a roll of his eyes and a tut, he was going behind the desk to look for your keys. “Wait, what if they catch you?”
“What, you scared?” He teased, and you glared at him. “Relax, sweetheart, I got it.” Woah. Okay. The petname made your stomach clench and heart miss a beat of it’s now quickening rhythm. You watched as Marc grabbed two sets of keys and effortlessly climbed back over the counter. You snapped out of your trance long enough to whisper,
“Show off.”
“You love it.”
“Oh yes, I love the heroic show of manliness when you throw yourself over a 4-inch counter to save the night.”
“Hilarious. Gimme your hand.”
“W-what?” He huffed, gently taking your wrist and squeezing so that your palm opened. He kept eye contact as he placed your room key in your open palm, stroking the skin with his thumb once, smirking as he felt your pulse quicken.
“Let’s go to bed.” You swore you had a brush with death as your heart all but burst. You were trying to muster up something witty, some kind of comeback against his charm, but you found yourself following him along the hallway until you reached your rooms.
He was teasing you and you didn’t know why. A moment ago, you were engaged in a near physical altercation with the man, and now… this? You inhaled shakily as you raised your key to unlock your door, the simple human action failing you as it fell to the floor. “Shit.” Marc, of course, was already in his room, stepping back out, however, when he heard your frustration. His features were graced with the most annoying teasing grin as he noted you bending over for the keys.
“Well, didn’t expect all this, would’ve accepted a sorry.” You instantly straighten up, nearly dropping your keys again out of shock. You all but jam them into the door, as you find your voice again.
“Oh, you’d love that, wouldn’t you?” You nudge the door open with your feet, turning to offer a smile to Marc, “Shame you’ll never get… an apology.”
“And what makes you think that?” He took a step closer, and your painfully aware the distance between the two of you is lessening.
“Well…” Keep your confidence, there we go. “If you wanted an apology, you’d have to make me.” He’s so close to your face now that your sharing the same humid air. His eyes darken slightly, and that same smirk is on his features, but it’s different somehow.
“Hmm. How on earth could I do that?” oh shit. Your skin is on fire as he reaches a handout to drag down your arm. “I guess I could make you scream… your apologies.” You gulp as he leans closer, hand leaving your arm to reach behind you. Just lean over, you think, and your lips will be touching. Your eyes flutter in anticipation and only did you realise how much you craved this. His breath fans over your lips as he whispers, “ ‘s a shame.”
And then he’s using the hand behind him to open your door, stepping away from you. You practically fall forward as his touch leaves your body and your mouth hangs open as he walks away. “Sweet dreams, Y/N.”
“Asshole! What the fuck was that?” You start, the feelings you had felt a mere second ago being replaced by the familiar anger and annoyance you experienced purely at the sight of his face. But he’s already in his room, door shut, leaving you aching, needing more, needing him. But another side of you, the stubborn side, vows to never give him that. He really just left.
You didn’t sleep, not well anyway. You were planning what you would say to him, do to him after the stunt he pulled. At least, that’s what you were telling yourself. In truth, it was his lips. How close they had been to your own. So close, you had tasted the coffee in his breath. It ignited a feeling in your body you’d never felt for him before, and in the corners of your mind, left you begging for more.
The light coming through the cracks in the flimsy hotel curtain woke you up from sleep. You weren’t sure what time is was when you eventually put aside the thoughts of Marc Spector and drifted off, but you were sure it was late, based on the tiredness still wedged in your limbs.
You groan at the sound of banging on your door, and force yourself out of bed, lugging your body to the source of the noise which opens to reveal he himself. You gulp at the sight of his features, a rush of adrenaline sourcing through your body, prompting you to stand a bit straighter. He looks as though he’s been up a little while and you can’t help but wonder if he was plagued by thoughts of you as much as you were with him.
“So,” he starts and here it is, the confrontation. You mentally scold yourself for not waking up earlier and making yourself presentable, even doing your teeth, on the off chance he wants to pick up where he left off, “How are we gonna get Harrow? We need a plan. According to Konshu-” You can’t help but scoff at his words and he stops, raising his eyebrows. “I’m sorry, is somethin’ wrong?”
You can’t stop yourself as you say, “You’re not even gonna talk about what happened last night?” He fakes nonchalance which makes your blood boil as he shrugs.
“I’m sorry for saying your not a fast runner. I know it’s hard-”
“God, your such an arsehole!”
“Oh, right, I forgot.” He steps closer and you hate yourself for not even trying to move, “It was the broken record line, wasn’t it, sweetheart?” You scoff, placing your hands on his chest and lightly shoving him out of your door frame and shutting the door in his face. You hear him attempt to apologise, but you cant tell if it’s sincere, and you chose not to care, instead focusing on getting ready. Marc Spector can wait.
                                                            ~~~
“We take him by surprise. If we surround him without his goons, then we can get the scarab back, easy.”
“Only problem is, last time, someone let him get away. What if that happens again?”
“It won’t. Either way, get your running shoes on, you need all the help you can get.”
“Hilarious. I’ve never laughed so hard.” It was as if last night was forgotten. You were back with your sarcastic commentary and Marc was on form with his mocking. Konshu was just about sick of it, demanding it be done, not caring how, before exiting the conversation.
“Let’s just focus, yeah? Sooner it’s done, sooner we can leave.” You sighed, actually agreeing with him for once before devising a plan. Only a few hours later were you in position, situated beside a rather large building. You were situated in completely different areas, Marc in his Moon Knight suit, ready in case of a rash escape, you there to confront and distract.
“Spector? Can you hear me?” You tested the earpiece technology, to which you got a sharp ‘yes’ in reply. Harrow was supposedly returning briefly to retrieve something, and you had studied him long enough to know the route he was sure to take. After escaping you both the first time, you’d be surprised if he wasn’t even more careful.
“It’s time.” Marc suddenly said and you straightened up, holding your weapon up as you ready for combat. But as you do so, you notice a familiar figure emerging from behind one of the buildings on your left.
“I have eyes on Harrow..”
“How many are there?” He asks and you peek your head round the wall, doing a quick body count.
“Including him, 4.”
“4? Where’s the rest of ‘em?”
“I don’t know, clearly.”
“Somethin’s wrong. Stand down, I’m coming.”
“I’m sorry, stand down? What, ‘m just expected to listen to you and comply?”
“Not now, Y/N, look, this is a safety precaution. You can’t take them on your own.”
“That’s not fair! You’re the one who-”
“Let him get away, yeah, yeah, I know, be more fuckin’ original.” You scoff, peeking out again to see Harrow stopped in his group. You could take them.
“I’m doing it. They aren’t ready right now, he’s an open target.”
“Absolutely not. Harrow feeds off this shit, if he’s out in the open right now, it’s cause he wants to be.” You should listen to him; he’s your partner, after all, and he’s being rational. But alas, your pettiness and eager to prove him wrong take control.
“Your just saying that cause you wanna get him.”
“What? Your being delusional, look, I’m on my way, stay put.”
“I don’t need your help!” You didn’t mean to shout it quite so loudly. You look back around, but it’s too late; he heard. “Shit.” You whisper, but Marc picks up on it.
“Fuck, just, hold on!” You feel slightly nervous as you ready yourself, hating that you possibly messed it up, just like you’d been berating Marc for.
“Good evening,” his voice was distinct, chilling, cutting through the air before he came into view. You inhaled slightly before meeting him halfway.
“Harrow.” You greet, “Goons,” you mutter, to which they step forward.
“Now, now.” He talks them down, smiling calmly, eerily, “I know you don’t want to hurt anyone.”
“Give me what I need, and I won’t.”
“You know I can’t do that, as tempting as the offer is.” You note his staff, and the weapons the others are carrying and feel general nerves fill you.
“Your wrong, you know.” You start, trying to stall until Marc arrives, “What you’re doing, it isn’t helping the world. It’s destroying it.” Harrow keeps the same stoic smile, but he’s walking toward you.
“You might feel differently when you discover your fate. Wouldn’t you want to know who your going to become? Don’t you want to see if your scales balance?” You let your self be distracted for a moment, falling to the power of his staff, as if in a trance. “Let me show you.” He whispers, and now’s your chance to take him down, get the scarab and run… but you don’t.
Harrow’s about to reach you when he appears, falling from a building and landing perfectly in front of you, fully suited. You break out of the trance, shaking your head as the goons suddenly spring into action. You hardly have time to react as one of them go to hit you, which Marc deflects.
“What are you doing? You could’ve been killed!” Another goes to stab him, but he expertly sweeps under their legs, so they fall.
“I-I was handling it!” you lie as you find your fight, dodging a hit and delivering a rather hard punch to a jaw, resulting in collapse.
“Right, sure looked like it.” You were about to retaliate when you noticed Harrow getting away- again.
“Shit!” You motion to where he’s running and Marc instantly sees, knocking out the last two of Harrow’s crew in one go before motioning with his head for you to stay.
“I got Harrow, you stay and make sure none of these go anywhere.”
“Wait, no, I can help-”
“Stay.” His tone is demanding and final, and you almost listen as he chases him down an alleyway. But you don’t, running the opposite way, putting all your push into your feet as you realise you can cut him up from the other side.
You can hear his footsteps bounding closer as you approach from a different end, and you run faster, pushing yourself to the limit. You hardly have a chance to react as your body collides with his, the force knocking the both of you as your body falls onto his. It takes a mere second, however, for you to realise that it wasn’t Harrow.
“What the fuck? I told you to stay put!” He sounds furious as his mask disappears, and his features certainly match his tone. Your frozen above him until he all but pushes you off him, your feet meeting the hard, cobbled floor. He begins pacing, hands pulling at his hair in frustration until he’s delivery a punch to the wall.
“I was trying to help! I thought I could cut him off in the alley and stop him-”
“Well, you thought wrong. So fucking useless, I swear!” The words cut through you, leaving you feeling winded with hurt, but that soon shifted to match his angry tone.
“That’s rich, as if you weren’t the one who let him get away last time!”
“This again? It’s getting real boring, hearing the same fuckin’ thing over and over.”
“Yeah, well, it’s true. This is your fault.”
“No, this is your fault. If you had just listened to a simple instruction, I would’ve got him.”
“You don’t know that.” You were trying to remain confident, but it was faltering drastically.
“Well, you know what I do know?” He was inching closer, but it was different to last night, thicker tension for other reasons. “The only reason you keep bringing up what happened last time is cause you know you’ll always be second best to me. Konshu knows it, hell, even Harrow knows it, which is why he used you. Your just tryna lie to yourself and convince everyone around you that you don’t completely suck.”
Whatever fake confidence you were clinging onto drips away at his words, leaving you breathless with tears filling your eyes. You don’t say anything, words failing you as you shove past him, rushing away. Because he’s right. Your not good enough. And it’s your biggest fear.
Marc felt a bitter taste rise in his mouth as the anger diminishes slowly. That was harsh, Really harsh. And he hardly meant it. It was a result of the requited anger, the frustration at the situation. They had failed Konshu a second time; they would be lucky if they even got a third. Soon, he felt overwhelmed, saddened, and his head was spinning, swimming. And his eyes were rolling into the back of his skull, and the tension in his head was released as he rendered control.
                                                             ~~~
The harsh sun consuming the day had gradually shifted to a clear night sky, a stark contrast from the UV rays with intent to destroy. You had been walking under the night sky for a while now, wanting to avoid the hotel, to avoid Marc and his words. That was, until you spotted him. He looked confused, as if in a daydream, and the very sight made you angry once again.
“What the fuck are you doing out here?”
“Huh? I’m sorry, are you talking to me?”
“Who the fuck else? Look, I came out here to be alone. Don’t need you following me like a lost puppy all the time.”
“I-I’m terribly sorry but I think you have me mistaken.”
“What? Wait, what’s with the accent?” You get a good look at his face, and though his demeanour is slightly off, it’s definitely him. “I’m not in the mood for your games, Marc. Leave me alone.” Marc’s face shifts in some sort of realisation.
“You think I’m Marc! So, you must be Y/N, his infamous partner in crime, eh?”
“What are you… is this some kind of joke? Or pick-up line? Cause it isn’t working, nor is it in any way funny.”
“I’m not Marc. I’m Steven. With a ‘V’. Wasn’t meant to meet you yet, if ever, but something happened, and I guess Marc gave control of the body? Dunno, bloke ‘s hard to read.”
“The body? What body? Oh shit, did you kill someone? I’m not helping you hide a body, Marc.”
“Blimey. Look, I’m Steven. I share a body with him.” You look at his posture, his features, the way the wrinkles of worry in his forehead aren’t as prevalent, the way he looks more relaxed in a slightly awkward way. He doesn’t feel like Marc. The aura around him and the way he carries himself is certainly different.
“Your serious?”
“As serious as a heart attack!” you raise an eyebrow at the man who shuffled awkwardly on his feet, rubbing the back of his head. “Forget I said that last bit, but yeah, I’m dead serious, yeah.”
“Okay, Steven with a ‘V’. So, what are you doing outside?”
“Well, Marc’s room is way too hot and a bit messy already, silly thing. Needed some air. Our head’s a bit crowded, as well. Think somethin’ is bothering him.” You feel slightly guilty, knowing it was your prior argument, all the tension build-ups. You felt the urge to apologise, but remind yourself that this isn’t Marc, just someone with the same body as him. That body-
“That’s fair. I’m going to find some food… you can come if you like?”
“Oh,” he seems flustered at your offer, until he’s suddenly looking over to the shiny lamppost located next to you intently. You peek at it, just seeing his confused reflection, but by the looks of it, he’s talking to someone. Oh. Eventually, he’s facing you again, slightly flushed as if he was involved in a confrontation. “I’d like that, yeah.”
The two of you walk along the desolate paths. It felt as if the city was silent, asleep, leaving only the two, well, three of you awake with a night full of possibilities. You were laughing at all of Steven’s jokes, intently listening to his stories of his three-finned wonder, Gus, and his horrid boss, Donna. And soon, you had developed a soft spot for your partner’s alter. His face, which once brought feelings of irritation and yearning, was evolving to one of sweetness and tenderness. It was strange; this was the same face you were arguing with mere hours before.
“Oh, aces, I see a place, right up there!” There was, indeed, a 24-hour store open, fluorescent lights shining in welcome. Steven surprised you by grabbing your hand, grinning. “C’mon, let’s get you some food!” You felt light as air as you ran, giggling, to the store, not missing the way his hand felt in yours. It was all you wanted, under it all; to hold his hand. But now, your thoughts were corrupted. What did you want? The line between hatred and desire was becoming blurred as you realised the depths of Marc, of them.
You had found an old bench down the road from the store, located on some patchy grass. Steven had brought a vegan sandwich, which you found interesting considering Marc certainly wasn’t a vegan, and you had settled for a wrap. “Taste test, you ready?” You asked and Steven nodded.
“It’s on,” you both took a bite, and you couldn’t help but laugh as you both bit off more than you could chew. “It’s delicious.” Steven said after he’d finished his mouthful and you agreed, even though the bread was slightly stale and the lettuce soggy- it was the best thing you’d ever eaten, probably because of the company you were enjoying it with.
“Just what I needed.” You said honestly, recounting how good it felt to have a break after the week you had endured- and it was far from over yet.
“Woah, look,” he said suddenly, and you followed his finger as it pointed up to the sky, more specifically, the stars. “You see that, there?” You nod, “That’s Orion, the embodiment of Osiris, you know, the god of death and the afterlife. Cool, innit? How it’s all the way out there, in space, and we’re here, watching ‘em. Stars don’t even know how beautiful they are, funny, hmm?” Your not looking at the stars anymore, but at him. at the way his eyes, which you’ve seen many times before, are literally glistening in the starlight, twinkling with passion.
“Your so different.” You whisper, and he turns to look at you, confused. “From him, I mean. He’s just… he acts like he hates me and then the next minute he’s… you know what, never mind.”
“He doesn’t hate you. He just has a hard time opening up to people. It’s a coping mechanism, you see.” It is? You always thought it was you. Up until last night, he had never even tried to act on the tension bubbling between the two of you, and you thought it was because only you felt it. He hated you…. right?
“And what about you? What do you think of me?” The question leaves your lips faster than it formed, but it’s out now. He hesitates, calculating his answer in his head.
“I’ve grown rather fond of you,” he starts, and you chuckle.
“You have?” he nods bashfully and your heart squeezes, “Well, Steven Grant, I’m rather fond of you too.” Your looking from his eyes, oh those eyes, and those lips, ones that were so close to you last night, and you find yourself leaning in. But, this time, you’re the one hovering. It’s his choice.
He glances over to the handle of the bench, the metallic one which shows his reflection. It’s as if something is pulling him away, beckoning him back to a reality which neither wanted to remember presently. It’s over, you think, as you begin to lean back to save at least a shred of dignity. But then his hands are on your cheeks, and he’s puling you towards him, and his lips are on yours.
They aren’t what you thought they’d be. Their soft, slightly chapped, but certain in their actions. Steven kisses you like you thought he would; slow, passionate, testing the waters with his tongue and his hands. You smile into the kiss, hands finding his hair as he hums in excitement and approval.
You forget about Marc. Forget about what he did yesterday. Forget about every argument and every comment and every time you wanted to give in and fall to him. Because this isn’t Marc. This is Steven. And perhaps it’s wrong to kiss him. Because you could never be together, not with Marc there, Marc who, no matter what his alter said, hated every fibre of your being, every aspect of your existence. He didn’t want you, he wanted to tease you, to edge you on, to play with your feelings and keep you on your toes.
But Steven, it was clear by how he was kissing you that all he wanted was to please you.
And you loved it.
You didn’t know how long had passed when he pulled away, breaths meeting each other in short, blissed bursts. “Wow.” He whispered, and you smiled in agreement, almost sure he could feel the heat your cheeks were radiating.
“Wow, indeed.” You sat like that for a moment, relishing in the small, finite reality you had just created.
“We should probably get back. You need to rest before whatever the bird has planned for tomorrow.” You agreed, stomach dropping at the subtle reminder of actuality. A comfortable silence followed you on the walk back, and you were certain the smile would remain forever etched on your features.
“Tonight was… good. Great, even. Thank you, Steven.” He grinned lopsidedly; cheeks flushed in unwarranted contentedness as he nodded.
“Yeah, it’s been wonderful. I shall hope to see you soon?” You almost forgot the man you’d see tomorrow wouldn’t be the one you’d just shared such an intimate moment with.
“I hope so, too.” He offered one last smile before shuffling into his room, and you followed suite. As soon as your door shut, you released a breath you didn’t realise you’d been holding, leaning against the door frame for a second as the events came rushing back to you.
You kissed him.
But not the ‘him’ you had dreamt of kissing, no. But it had fulfilled something inside you, some carnal desire to have his lips on yours in a way you could’ve never envisioned. The thoughts filled your brain, residing as butterflies in your stomach and sweet swelling in your heart. You all but collapse into bed, a content smile etched into your features as you drift into a much-needed slumber.
It was the curls you felt first, the unruly black curls tickling the inner plush of your thighs, reminiscent of when those same curls trailed a course down your neck, your chest, your stomach. His calloused hands were rough on the surface, but feather like in their touch, trailing the bare crevices of your skin. It was then you saw those eyes peeking up, brown and dominant, inquisitive as they bore into your own. You go to call out a name, but you hesitate- is it Steven? But then that familiar smirk resides on his distinct features, and you know it’s him, it’s Marc. “Missed me?” He asks, and you can’t find it in yourself to reply, just nod desperately as his eyes disappear in between the depths of your legs, smirk getting closer and closer and-
You wake up with a start, a thin layer of sweat coating your features, and body  flushed to it’s core. It was as though your feelings were in overdrive, rumbling around your brain, ready to explode. And it was because of him, them, you didn’t even know anymore.
Being attracted to Marc wasn’t a necessarily a new thing. You had dreamt of him before, both in your sleep, and awake. You wanted to tease him, to push him, to see him scoff and smirk. But a part of you craved his attention, his praise, the genuine smile that hardly ever came out- that was Steven.
But the question was engraved in your brain, almost shameful as it repeated over and over, like a mantra; would you ever be more? More than partners and avatars for Konshu? More than two people who bickered and fought and argued like teenagers? More than the overwhelming sexual tension the both of you refused to act out, partly out of provocativeness, but also fear?
Steven was there now, too. A stark contrast to the body you were used to. He was cheeky and soft and kind. You’d kissed him. Not Marc. So why did you feel the overwhelming urgency to knock on Marc’s bedroom door and passionately dance your lips with his?
Suddenly, you realised the mantra had shifted. You wanted them both. It came to you like waves crash the shore, like puzzle pieces connecting after time jumbled in a prison. It wasn’t just him anymore.
But did Marc feel the same way? Yes, he initiated the flirting, was a main instigator of the burning tension between the both of you. He was the one who all but pinned you to the door, you reasoned. But he also called you useless. Had said harsh words to you, harsher than he had ever said before, the literal night after you thought he would kiss you. He was near impossible to read. Even after all the time you’d worked with him, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Was the prolonged eye contact as a result of burning desire, or was he, or you, just daydreaming? Were the brushes of his fingertips on your skin a seduction technique or an accident? Did he dream about you, too?
You hoped against hope that he did.
Turning in the slightly squeaky hotel bed, you tried to forget for just a moment of Marc Spector and Steven Grant.
He hadn’t slept. He couldn’t. It was plagued in his mind permanently, and with it, a mass of insecurity and… jealousy? Surely that wasn’t the right emotion. It didn’t feel right to be jealous at his alter, the one who helped him unconditionally, the one who was a hopeless romantic, and of course couldn’t stop himself from falling for the perfect specimen that was you.
You with your quick tongue and witty comebacks. You with your stupid lips, that could expertly pull off a smirk or a soft, adoring smile. Fuck, maybe he did want you. No- he needed you.
But it was too late.
You couldn’t see him in the reflection of the bench in which you and Steven had shared a stolen first kiss. You couldn’t hear his voice, one he almost didn’t recognise, fast and rushed. Steven couldn’t register it either, or perhaps he subconsciously refused, too lost in your presence... and who could blame him?
Yet if you were able to see him, able to hear him, you would’ve clocked the sheer desperation in his tone. The words he had rejected ever since you had introduced yourself that first day, the day he had decided to start an unspoken feud, simply because he refused to let himself get hurt by someone else. Someone like you.
“Give me the body, Steven. Fuck sake, just… wait. That should… that should be me. Please.”
But nobody had heard him. He had cultivated the thoughts in his mind, willing them to scream them at his alter, or build up a final strand of courage and say them to your face. Alas, they didn’t.
So, he tossed and turned on the cheap, unreasonably loud mattress, plagued with thoughts of you. And amongst them all, the ones of your smile, the ones of your moans, the ones of your cry, one remained prevalent.
It repeated in his head like a mantra, but it felt more like a curse: it should’ve been me.

Hey you're literally the only buddie account I trust especially right now since everyone is being… weird about buddie and saying things like they'll be okay with buddie not happening which is...an opinion lol what do you think about that and this interview
Tumblr media
Hello! Awww well that’s honestly so sweet of you to think of me 🥹💜 I don’t think I’ll ever be OK if Buck and Eddie don’t end up together. Like so much of my time and energy has been invested in these two idiots that if they don’t get together like I’m just gonna be sad forever I think lol. But I definitely do think it’s happening, and it is on the horizon because I mean I’ve always believed that if either of the men are going to be queer in canon, then it’s pretty much a guaranteed thing for them to get together. Like you can’t have the chemistry that those two men have, and the fucking history that they share, and think that any other partner is going to be a better fit for either of them in the long run. So I do think that this is a steppingstone for them eventually giving us Buck and Eddie in a romantic relationship. I think we’re on the right track and it might take a little bit more but it’s definitely gonna happen.
In regards to this interview, I have always voiced how they are never ever going to confess to Buddie happening in an article or an interview. They are going to keep this under wraps for as much as they can because they know that this is something longtime fans, and even new fans have been really wanting to happen. Oliver is definitely not gonna give that away in an article that’s for sure. So I feel like what he said in this article is pretty standard way of avoiding, giving us any inkling as to whether or not it’s happening, which is normal because they’re never gonna allude to it until it actually happens. With that being said, I don’t think that this confirms that it’s never not happening either. He actually does say at the end that we’re gonna see Buck start to question things about himself as we go on. Like what else can that mean because if he’s already questioning his bisexuality, and he’s already seemed to embrace it since he’s going on a date with a man, I just feel like the other things he might start questioning about himself, is like any sort of confusing feelings he may be having. Clearly he’s still confused, and he had a kiss with a man that he very much enjoyed. He’s also gonna go on a date with a man and he seems nervous, but happy overall. But that’s not all that he’s gonna be questioning because he still has to question what he really was trying to do in 7.04 when he was upset and trying to get Eddie’s attention. It was misplaced on his part thinking it was all about Tommy when we the audience know it wasn’t about Tommy at all. So I feel like Oliver, mentioning that really can indicate that Buck is going to have a moment where he questions other things about himself, which can very much include his close bond with Eddie, and how they’re codependent, how they act like a married couple, how they coparenting Christopher together, and any and all attraction he may possibly have for Eddie. Because he’s going to eventually question the Eddie aspect of it all. So I think that’s what all might be alluding to with that sentence.
And we all know, well anyone who is media literate, that the entire purpose of that episode and the possible storyline moving forward was all about Buck and Eddie. Like everything points in that direction. So Tim trying not to completely discredit that relationship and mentioning how “right now” is not the right time, doesn’t mean it’s never gonna happen. For all we know he’s literally lying to us so we won’t be on his trail. Maybe it’s not gonna happen right now but as the season unfolds we see more seeds planting that indicates it happening “soon”. Either way I’m just so so so sure that this entire thing is gonna be a win for us Buddies bc like that’s the only logical way either one of their romantic stories end.

ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛꜱ ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ ꜱᴍɪʟᴇꜱ, ᴘᴛ. 2 | ꜱ. ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ
Tumblr media
GIF not mine!
Stephen Strange x Avenger!Reader
ask: Could you write a Stephen Strange x reader one shot (or longer if you feel it haha) where the reader is an avenger and she’s secretly dating Stephen? Like they’re sneaking around and staying at each other’s places (sanctum and tower/compound) and use portals in the mornings to get back where they’re supposed to be. Maybe a close call where Stephen literally kicks her off the bed and into a portal back to her own bed to avoid getting caught. Then later they’re found out somehow by tony/the team?
word count: 9.8k (send some help, please)
warnings: even more fluff, a bit of angst, nightmare, some good ol’ nightmare aftercare proudly presented you by Stephen Strange, more sneaking around the team, the team gets suspicious, cursing, curse words, Stephen being… Stephen, injuries
author’s note: pt. 2 is here!!!! Gosh, I’m still so excited about this ask and have to pour my entire heart into it. Thanks again for the request @clockblobber <3 This one is proofread but ignore mistakes if you stumble upon them – my brain is mush today, and I’m gonna go over it again tomorrow
»pt. 1 is here«
Tumblr media
Typing away on her phone – Stephen had been at Kamar-Taj for quite some time now to deal with the new students of the mystic arts, and she had insisted that he saved all his energy for teaching them instead of visiting her every night – YN entered the living area of the compound after arriving from an intel mission only minutes ago. Scott followed close behind because his adjustable size had been crucial for the success of the mission, and with a deep sigh, he dropped into one of the armchairs unoccupied by the other present Avengers who had gathered for movie night.
YN didn’t even notice, too enthralled by the device between her fingers, and ran straightly into a walking Peter, who almost lost his balance. “Woah, hey there, Peter.” She grabbed his arm to prevent him from meeting the floor on a more intimate level and pushed the phone into the back pocket of her jeans. “Sorry, didn’t see you,” YN apologized while patting his shoulder softly. She always had gotten a soft spot for the young man and always looked out for him during missions, even though he could handle himself pretty darn good.
The brunette shook his head in protest. “It was my–…” But YN didn’t let him finish. “Nah-uh, I don’t wanna hear a single word.” She turned her head to be greeted by seven pairs of staring eyes, curiosity filled their irises completely – and she didn’t like one second of it. “Nevermind. You people prepared some decent snacks, or do I have to do the work again?” Because that had been the case during the last couple of movie nights which ended in ordering pizza and bickering about the choice of film.
They never really managed to watch more than one before it’s gotten worse and worse until Tony demanded the remote control sovereignty because he had paid for everything they used, while Nat and herself booed loudly because the Widows never were a fan of another Star Wars-filled night. Peter was always on Tony’s side – naturally – while Bucky and Steve kept themselves out of the discussion, still not really used to the “new” pop culture they had to face nowadays. At least Wanda, Clint, and Scott counted themselves as a constant part of Team Widow, and Thor, as well as Bruce, loved to hop between camps, always depending on the movie in question. Only Vision was indifferent, but everyone had gotten used to it by now.
It was utter chaos, sometimes even on the brink of anarchy, but YN loved it. She never had something like that in her life – at least, she couldn’t remember having a family – because she was never as lucky as Nat and never had a pretending family. Even though she wasn’t sure if she would’ve liked it very much. She always had lived her life within the confinements of the Red Room, always under the watchful eye of high-ranking generals and officers, always under the influence of a drug she didn’t want to remember. She had killed not only for Dreykov but also Hydra. She had met the Winter Soldier long before he had escaped his cruel purpose. And then, Nat had found her during one of her missions, months after the attack on New York, and Bruce and Tony had managed to get the drug out of her system. They had saved her and given her a life with a purpose, with a moral compass. YN had gotten another chance. And with that chance, a certain master of the mystic arts came into the picture – and the rest was history.
Blinking rapidly, YN escaped her thoughts and turned her attention back to the group. “The food is on its way, but we could use some more snacks,” Wanda told her, an apologetic smile on her face, but YN only rolled her eyes with a grin. “Sure y’all do. I’m gonna get you covered – but don’t you dare start the movie without me!” She made eye contact with Tony, who already held the remote in hand, and cocked not only an eyebrow but her head as well. “Try me, Stark,” she warned, and the man raised both hands in surrender. “We will behave perfectly.” Nodding, YN turned around, phone already in hand again, and trotted through the corridor into the kitchen.
Arriving there, the device started to vibrate, but it wasn’t an incoming text. With a soft smile, she accepted the call and settled the phone between ear and shoulder. “To what do I owe the honor of your call?” A greeting wasn’t necessary between these two anymore. Calling one another was as simple as taking Wilson down in combat training, unlike during the beginning of their relationship. Calls had been an utter nightmare.
A chuckle echoed through the speaker. “Do I need a reason to call the woman to whom I’ve pledged my love and devotion?” Softly laughing, YN grabbed a stack of bowls out of one of the many cupboards and spread them over the counter. “I see, you’ve read a lot of Shakespearian-sounding literature. Anything interesting?” She could hear Stephen’s grin from the other end of the world. “A few works weren’t that bad. I found spells I have never heard of before, and I think they could be useful if mastered properly. What are you up to, darling?”
In the meantime, YN had grabbed an assortment of snacks, and after ripping every package open, she dumped them in the waiting bowls, one by one. “Oh, nothing. It’s Friday, so we have movie night at the compound, and it will be a nightmare after film one. Just the usual.” She almost felt his sympathy physically. “I suppose Stark won’t give up the remote?” Scoffing, the Widow rounded the kitchen island to take a closer look into the freezer. “You can bet your sexy ass on it, love. Oh, yes. Come to me, ice cream!” She hadn’t planned for the outburst to leave her lips, but well.
With an evil chuckle, YN grabbed the last package of ice cream from behind a mountain of frosted vegetables – Nice try, Tony – and opened the foil to start eating it before returning to the living room. “Remind me never to hide any ice cream from you, my evil darling,” he laughed, and YN grinned happily. “It’s his ice cream. I would never dare to steal your ice cream because I love you dearly, my dear.”
Softly humming while eating the sweet substance, the woman leaned against the counter, totally unaware of the young man who stood just around the corner and heard every single word. She and Stephen talked for a few minutes more before they ended the call with the promise of a cozy weekend after she came back from her scheduled mission in Prague.
Meanwhile, Peter stood almost frozen in the middle of the living room, eyes wide and unsure where to start – and if he should say a word about the discovery he just had made anyway. But his mouth was faster than his brain. “Uhm… You always complain that YN is… is vanishing so often?” Instantly, Peter had gathered the attention of every single soul within this room. Steve furrowed his forehead, and even Bucky looked a bit worried while Tony straightened up on his spot on the couch. “Yeah? Talk, kiddo.” Peter scratched the back of his head and shrugged. “I think she has a boyfriend – or girlfriend! I’m totally open for both if she likes women more than men and if her partner in crime is a woman, that’s super cool because rainbows and love and–…” Scott patted his shoulder to silence the young superhero. “Think, that’s enough, Peter.”
The team exchanged glances before a bubbling laugh escaped from Tony’s mouth and let them look in his direction. Tears gathered in his eyes while his body shook with every laughter erupted from him. “YN and… and a boyfriend! Best joke ever!” Still laughing, Tony wiped the tears off his cheeks and shook his head. “Keep believing that, kiddo, but we know her a bit longer than you do. She would never have something like that because love isn’t her thing.” Nat cocked a copper eyebrow. “Love is her thing, but only on paper within books because men exhaust her – and she is only interested in them.” Steve seemed not to be convinced fully, but the creases on his forehead slowly erased themselves and Bucky leaned back on the two-seater they shared. “Not everyone needs love in their lives. Some only need certain needs satisfied, and…–“ Wanda threw a pillow against the former Winter Soldier’s head. “Bucky! He is still a teenager!” He raised both hands before crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“But…” Peter tried, but now it was Clint who patted his other shoulder. “Drop it, kid. She disappears to have time to herself. It gets crowded here, and sometimes, her thoughts run in the wrong direction. Can’t blame her. Everyone needs some peace and quietness from time to time.”
Unconvinced, Peter plopped down onto one of the two beanbags, the other entirely reserved for YN herself, and just a second later, three bowls floated through the doorframe into the living room. Before they could settle down on the coffee table between the seating area and flatscreen, Vision and Wanda took them out of the air and placed them down themselves. YN entered right after that, the other three bowls in her arms and a thankful expression in her eyes. “Thanks, V, Wanda. Wasn’t sure if I could master the landing.”
The red-haired witch smiled at her while the Widow rounded the couch and dropped her body onto the dark blue beanbag. “I told you it would get better with some more practice.” She sounded more than a bit pleased. YN grinned up at her. “Yup, totally.” She didn’t need to know that a certain sorcerer had helped her with the powers she mostly could only use with blunt force because no one in the Red Room had bothered to tame her. Years might have been passed since her escape, but those powers were gone for a while after her mind had reached the surface of consciousness. Probably a self-protection mechanism if Stephen was right with his educated guess. At least she could control them to a certain extent now. It would get better over time.
Another text from Stephen shifted her mood for the better after it had tried to take a detour back to the dark place it loved to sit and sulk. The movie was secondary, and even after the food arrived – sushi and pizza – YN barely looked up from her phone and was awfully quiet as soon as the bickering started anew.
Steve watched her closely and shock settled in his chest at the sight of a smile he had never seen on the face of one of his best friends before. Happy. Full of contentment. Her eyes twinkling and sparkling. She never was unhappy, of course not, but the soldier from another time knew the feeling she had always felt – the feeling of not fitting in. And suddenly, a realization crept up on him: Maybe that feeling had vanished somewhere along the road.
;
It was quiet in the compound. The world’s mightiest heroes had ended the day a few hours prior, soon after the Quinjet with YN and Sam had landed on the tarmac. It had become a ritual to wait upon arriving team members and to drink a soothing cup of tea to unwind from the previous mission and catch up on the gossip inside the compound.
Now, YN slept in the warm and loving embrace of a pair of strong arms, her head laying on a softly rising and falling chest, the sounds of Stephen’s deep slumber always the best method to lull her into sleep. But she started to move, softly at first, barely palpable. She rolled off his chest, and naturally, the tight embrace loosened around her body. Nails dragged over the comforter, ripped loose threads off the fabric while YN’s face contorted in confusion and fear, in agony and horror. Her breathing quickened, the heart within her rib cage started to race, and sweat dampened her forehead and back.
The dreams always hunted the Widow, but oh boy. The horrors of other nights were nothing in comparison.
The first escaping moan didn’t wake Stephen, not even the second one, the man too tired from long hours inside the Sanctum’s library to find one specific spell he had needed.
It was the scream that woke him with a startle.
“NO!”
Stephen didn’t need to turn on the light to see exactly where she was after tearing open his eyes. He pushed the traitorous blankets off his legs to scoot over to the moving and trashing woman. His hands almost didn’t grasp her arms because it scared the man how cold and damp her skin was. She had those dreams not as often as they used to come, but they were never this bad.
The next scream, so full of agony and blank horror, ripped his already bleeding heart to shreds. Stephen grabbed her upper arms softly, stroked them, caressed her face while pleading with her barely conscious mind to let her escape her own personal hell.
“YN, please. Please, wake up. I am here, nothing is going to happen. Everything is alright. It’s just a dream, only a dream. I am here, love. God damn it, let her wake up!” His voice sounded helpless, angry about the universe and himself, and with horror in his own eyes, he could see the light of the corridor suddenly shining through the slit between door and floor. Shaking her gently but urgently, Stephen tried it again while multiple hurried steps came closer to her door. “YN. YN! Wake up, love!”
With a violent gasp, her eyes finally teared open, tears staining her reddened cheeks, beads of sweat tracing her temples and contracting throat. Her eyes immediately found his face, but Stephen couldn’t mutter a single word. Instead, he left the bed in a hurry and hid in the bathroom – not his best move, but he didn’t care at the moment – and just in time, he closed the door only for another door to be opened. Hurried voices echoed through the room, and the sorcerer pushed both hands into his hair, running them through it over and over to calm himself and his rapid heartbeat.
He hated how helpless he had felt and still felt while others comforted his girl. He hated every single second of it and counted the moments until they left and closed the door again.
“Stephen…?”
Her small, shaking, and questioning voice pulled the sorcerer out of his spiraling thoughts, and without wasting another second, he ripped open the door. With a few long strides, he was back at her side, settling into their bed and pulling her flush against his chest. Stephen could feel the tears wetting his shirt, but he didn’t care. She could ruin every single piece of clothing he owned, and he would hold her anyway.
“I am here,” he whispered between kisses on her head. “Nothing is going to happen to you.” He could feel her short but stiff nod, almost as if she was a robot and didn’t learn how to move like a human. Both his hands stroked over her back - up and down, in a never-ending motion. Her body still trembled, and YN dug her fingers into the fabric of his shirt, clung to the man like a drowning woman clinging to a piece of driftwood. “I love you. I love you more than anything in this universe. I will always love you. It’s okay. It’ll be okay. They can’t hurt you.” He didn’t make any sense, but it didn’t matter.
After what felt like a never-ending eternity, YN stopped shaking like a leaf, her breathing slowed down again, and her hold on him was not that crushing anymore. “Sorry,” she mumbled, but Stephen was quick to brush through her hair and soothe the rising anxiety within her tormented mind. “Stop apologizing. There is nothing to apologize for.” He needed her to understand that, but his girl was smarter than anyone else – maybe except him.
She tried to find a more comfortable position but gave up because every single piece of fabric clung to her still damp skin. “Where did you hide?” Her voice was only a whisper, but the silence had settled back over the compound, so Stephen heard every single word and every single breath. “The bathroom,” he mumbled and pressed a soft kiss to her neck. YN’s soft chuckle was a good sign, and it put the beginning of a smile on his face. “Not your best move, love. Imagine one of them would’ve gone in there to get a cool cloth or something. What a sight that would be…”
He may roll his eyes, but Stephen was glad that YN could already joke around. That had always been a good sign.
The sorcerer pressed another kiss to her neck before looking into her barely lit face. “Do you want to talk about it?” Slowly, she shook her head. He knew she would decline just now, but he had to ask nonetheless. “Can’t. Need the sun to be up.” Her illogical fear of getting dragged back into the hell that was the Red Room still present in her overworking mind, and she knew how stupid it was. But Stephen never had judged her, not one single second. “Of course,” he said, caressing her face. “How about a shower?” She nodded against his neck, where she buried her face now, and Stephen picked her up with ease to carry her into his former hiding spot.
And that’s where they spent almost an hour under the warm water jet, her eyes closed, while Stephen softly washed her hair and did her entire hair and skincare routine. It always amazed YN how much attention this man granted her alone and how much he seemed to adore her. It was mind-blowing, really, and she desperately wished that this would be something lasting an entire lifetime.
;
Holding hands like lovestruck teenagers, YN and Stephen walked through Greenwich Village to enjoy one of the loveliest golden fall days they had encountered in a long time. She loved seeing the man next to her in casual clothes – a long dark jeans, grey shirt, and a dark green cardigan – though she wasn’t sure what about it made him look so irresistible. Maybe it was the domesticity of it, the warm feeling of home, and the comforting knowledge that one was deeply loved and valued. Or perhaps it was just his good looks and the eyes full of envy thrown her way by nearly every woman they’d passed so far.
Stephen gingerly pulled her closer to his side and put her hand around his bicep, wanting her as close as possible. Everyone should know that this woman wasn’t just an acquaintance, a mere friend who just happened to walk with him in the same direction. He could see the looks full of longing and the visible drool on some male’s chins. It was only natural that he did something about it, so he bent down and pressed a lingering kiss on YN’s temple to show the world what they needed to know. He was glad that reporters didn’t try to bother them anymore.
At least one thing Tony’s existence is good for, Stephen thought cynical, but different from his thoughts, his mood shone as bright as the fall sun over their heads.
“What are you up for today?” YN beat him to this crucial question. “Lazy walks around the block? A trip to Belvedere Castle? Exploring the new exhibition at the Louvre?” Her eyes looked as bright as the sky above them, and if the world paid close attention to the sorcerer now, they would’ve bared witness to the softest of smiles they’d have ever seen. But the world was blind, so the smile full of adoration and utter wonder over how his life had turned only visible for the one woman in his life.
Humming deep in thought, Stephen pulled one of her hands, which were both settled around his arm and in the crook between bicep and elbow, up to his lips to kiss her knuckles. “I’ve heard there is a new patisserie only two blocks further which happens to sell chocolate strawberries,” the man suggested, and pride and satisfaction filled his chest and body at the sight of her round eyes and the radiant smile stretching across her lips.
His past self wouldn’t believe his eyes. During some days, even he had difficulties comprehending the change he went through in order to become as worthy as possible for the woman next to him. Still, he didn’t believe to be worthy enough and was convinced that better men were waiting for her, but he couldn’t let her go. He was, again, too selfish, but she seemingly didn’t mind.
Maybe the universe granted him the happy ending after all.
“Can we go there? Like… now? Immediately?” Grinning, Stephen nodded but didn’t think of using a portal. He needed to savor every single second he could get with her – just as she did with him. So they walked the two blocks, side by side, softly telling each other about their respective days and just basking in each other’s presence.
The idyll got suddenly destroyed as YN stopped dead in her tracks and stared over the busy street to her right. She needed to bent around Stephen because the stubborn man never let her walk next to the road if he was with her, but she was sure her peripheral vision hadn’t tricked her. And the Widow was right: on the other side were Clint and Nat, talking about something which made the archer laugh.
“Fuck,” was all she hissed for now, and even Stephen caught up to her observation. But he couldn’t form a single word because the woman had already grabbed his hand and pulled him to continue their route for now. Her eyes were trained on the opposite side of the road while she gracefully avoided collisions with every approaching passerby. The sorcerer didn’t know how exactly she did that, but maybe it was her own little magic trick. He only followed her, always alternating between looking to the other pair of Avengers and straight ahead to nudge YN in a different direction if necessary.
“We need to turn the next one,” YN decided at the sight of Nat and Clint waiting for the streetlight to turn green. “And we need to be faster.” As soon as the words had left her lips, Nat turned slightly and looked in their vague direction. “Stephen, now.” They dived behind a group of tourists and sneaked into an alleyway but didn’t stop. Instead, their steps increased in speed, and YN guided them through a labyrinth of hidden shortcuts, backyards, and a tremendous amount of turns and corners. “You definitely have Google Maps in that pretty head of yours,” the sorcerer decided after another complicated combination of turning and shortcutting, and YN chuckled cheerfully while he had lost track after the second corner. “The first premise is always to know your neighborhoods better than the content of your backpack. And since I’m spending almost more time here than at the compound, I believed it was time to know my way around – just in case.” Grinning, YN guided them through another alleyway, but now, they stepped onto one of the main streets of Greenwich Village, the Sanctum Sanctorum already in sight.
Stephen turned towards her and cocked an eyebrow. “But what’s with the chocolate strawberries?” YN softly shrugged and circled both arms around his neck; his hands almost immediately settled upon her jeans-clad hips, pushed underneath the long cardigan she had thrown over the old band shirt she wore and which was her pride and joy. She rubbed the tip of their noses against each other and kissed him quickly. “We can get them later. What about that trip to the Louvre? I’m tempted to bet that we won’t see any of their faces in Paris,” the Widow whispered temptingly against his lips, and if Stephen weren’t already sold, he would be now.
But before he released her out of his grasp, he bent his head lower to kiss her properly – one hand tangled in her soft hair while the other pulled her smaller body against his. Their lips moved in complete sync, eyes closed at the blissful feeling of warmth and butterflies, breathing labored, hearts beating rapidly against one another.
Smirking, Stephen ended the kiss with one last sweet peck. He wasn’t sure what had happened in the last two and a half years ever since that woman entered his life and turned everything upside down, but he never would want it any other way.
“Now, we can go,” he spoke with a raspy but tender voice, and the portal opened just behind him to lead the couple into the heart of the city of love. He held his hand open, so YN could take it what she did with a bright smile on her gorgeous face. “Madame.” She curtsied with a soft grin. “Merci beaucoup, monsieur.” The reply escaped her in flawless French as she stepped over the golden glittering threshold, and she pulled Stephen with her before the portal closed itself and released the couple into a carefree Parisian afternoon.
;
“Sometimes you have the greatest ideas,” YN sighed, stomach full and on an endorphin high with all the sugar and love in her system. Stephen stretched his long, toned body over the comforter laying atop his four-poster bed, head propped up on one hand, eyes locked on the woman on the other side of the mattress, the remnants of their small indoor picnic between them. “Only sometimes, hm?” He teased her, and YN laughed wholeheartedly while taking one of the napkins and throwing it in the vague direction of his smirking face. “Oh, stop it,” she grinned before stealing the last chocolate strawberry and plopping the sweet fruit between her lips. Moaning, she chewed with closed eyes and let herself fall back into the pillows. “Best thing there is on this planet.”
His hand moved softly through the air, from left to right, his scarred pointer and ring finger sticking out while the rest was balled to a half-fist, and suddenly, the picnic disappeared. The sorcerer knew it would find its way onto the kitchen counter left from the sink. But he didn’t concern himself with the whereabouts of the dishes because as soon as the magic was executed, Stephen rolled himself on top of YN, arms resting next to her face so he wouldn’t crush her under his weight.
“You’re really trying to insult me even more?” It was only a rumble against her lips, and now it was her to smirk up to the sorcerer. “Yes, because I know what those tiny hits do to you – and what it will bring me,” she whispered back before kissing him softly, the sound of heavy raindrops loud on the windows of the Sanctum.
They had planned for a picnic in Central Park, far away from the privacy-invading eyes of nosy New Yorkers and tourists as soon as they lay eyes on the two Avengers. The forecast had been perfect all week long, but then, just after they had gotten ready and opened the doors of the grand building in Greenwich Village, the sky opened its gates, and the heaviest fall downpour in the history of New York made its appearance. Other people would’ve been crushed – other people as in YN – but Stephen didn’t graduate with honors when he would own nothing but simple-mindedness. He had wrapped YN in his arm, brought her back inside, and with a few flicks of his hands, the master bedroom was prepared for a cozy day indoors. They had watched numerous episodes of Golden Girls – YN loved the sitcom ever since encountering it during her post-Red Room recovery under the watchful eye of SHIELD – and she had even etched Stephen to play one of his old interviews for the prestigious Medical Journal. He didn’t like to dive into his old life, but he loved to watch the evident fascination on his girl’s face at the sight of his accomplishments. Stephen was nothing but a sucker for praise coming from this woman.
The feeling of her soft hands on the nape of his neck and her fingernails gently carding through the short hair there was everything Stephen needed or wanted in his life. It reminded him of his childhood, which barely happens anymore, but with her, everything felt light and bright, just as it did back then. Her chuckle at the feeling of his goatee tickling her lips was the sound he almost loved the most. It ranked somewhere between the tiredly mumbled I love you, Stephen when she was on the brink of sleep and the nicknames she used to call him. Nobody had believed that Stephen was a softy, he at the very least. But he was, and he didn’t want to change a thing about it.
“Thank you,” YN whispered between pecks of his lips and rubbed their noses against each other. She loved doing that. It always gave her a heart attack, for sure, especially when Stephen looked at her like he did now – as if she was the most important and gorgeous being on this planet – but it reminded her that her life was a different one now, filled with soft touches and warmth. There was still violence in it, definitely, but it was the good kind of violence. A violence born in the attempts to make earth a safer place, which was the entire opposite of her upbringing and early adulthood. And the man atop of her was a crucial part of it, and she loved every second. “For what?” His question almost got lost in the kiss they shared, lips moving more heated against one another while the tip of YN's tongue teased his soft bottom lip. YN shrugged and let Stephen roll over the mattress and, simultaneously, pull her on top of him. She propped her arms on his broad, strong chest - one of her preferred places on earth - and peppered his chin with soft kisses while searching for the right words. “For showing me love and how it is to be loved, and for always reminding me that this is my life now and not a dream I will wake up from one day and find myself back at square one. You’re completing me, love.” Her last words were barely a whisper, still too shy and insecure about expressing the depths of her feelings for this man, even though they had enough reasons to already know about them.
She was always scared of pushing him away with the intensity of her emotions as if her soul tried to compensate her for all those years without them, and YN probably would be scared for the rest of her life, even though no one had left her so far. Quiet the contrary. She had gained friends and an unexpected family, lifelong companions, and a relationship meant to be until her last day on earth, whenever that might be.
Smiling up to her, Stephen kissed her a second and a third time right after that, his fingers pushing soft strands of her hair out of her face with the beautifully blushed cheeks and behind her ear. "No, darling," he said lovingly and tenderly caressed the side of her face. Instantly, YN leaned into his touch, and Stephen thought his heart might explode right in this instant. "Don't thank me for that. You deserve every ounce of love I, and everyone else, can give you. And don't try to deny it. I know it's true." He looked up to her with seriousness in his bright blue eyes, capturing YN instantly like they always did. The couple just laid there, gazing into each other's eyes, before the woman on top of him cracked a small, shy smile and gently caressed his cheekbone with the pad of her thumb. "You are a wonder, Stephen Vincent Strange," she whispered, blunt wonder and amazement evident in her soft voice. "I will thank the universe for the rest of my life for the path it had put me on." Now it was Stephen who felt the blood rushing swiftly into his cheeks, and clearing his throat, he chuckled awkwardly, not sure how to handle the emotions now rushing through his consciousness.
Whatever she is doing to us, don't let it stop, and don't you dare ruin it, a warning voice spoke somewhere in his head, and the sorcerer almost snorted audibly. As if he would ever destroy the safe haven these two had created together in a world where peace was sometimes hard to find and even harder to hold onto and preserve. He would be quite the idiot if he'd pushed or scared YN away. But to his very luck, this woman was as fearless as an amazon, born out of the stories of ancient times when gods walked the earth and granted individuals the power to conquer anything.
She owned that force of nature within her delicate body.
The fingertips of one hand had started to slowly stroke over the length of her spine, while his other hand had found its home on her right cheek, cupping the soft skin and smiling as YN turned her head to kiss his palm. "I'm not good with words, you know that, but the feeling is mutual, darling. I never had luck with relationships of any kind and nature, never knowing what to do and what was expected from me. But finding you was the greatest gift life could ever grant me because we're learning this together, experiencing everything together, without judgment and accusations if something goes wrong. This-," Stephen placed a gentle peck on the tip of her nose, "-us, is my safe haven. You are my safe haven. I don't need more." A grin formed on her face, and she cocked an eyebrow, doubtingly, and the sorcerer sighed and chuckled. "Well, plus some space for my books," he added, and YN laughed as well. "And for all of your suits and ties. Not to mention the space Cloaky demands in your closet over there."
Pulling her even closer to him - if that was even possible - Stephen growled lowly in his chest before pulling YN's face closer to his to steal another heated kiss. "I'm trying to express my feelings for you, woman, and all you do is continue to insult me. It's not the proper response." Now it was her to steal a kiss from him, and he felt the grin on his lips. "When did you ever care for properness and social expectations, Mr. Strange?" Stephen grinned a devilish smile before he moved his head to start nipping at the soft skin of her exposed neck. "No one had ever spoken truer words, but it still is Doctor Strange, my darling love, even for you."
YN couldn't fight the urgent need to let her eyes fall shut at the tingling feeling that Stephen's lips and teeth on her skin created in the pit of her stomach, and a deep sigh, suspiciously resembling an excited moan, escaped her.
But the mood was ruined faster than hurricane Katrina had reached the North American shore.
The sound of hurried steps, loud voices, and an overall hectic group of intruders let the couple look up and straight to the massive wooden door of the bedroom. YN didn't even have the time to roll off Stephen to find the perfect hiding spot - she already had a few spots in mind - because the familiar sound of voices let her freeze for a moment too long.
What is Tony doing here?! And is that... Steve's voice?
Her mind screamed question after question, and just as the steps reached the floor of their shared bedroom, Stephen did something she would never have expected to be on his mind, or he even dared to think of: He opened a portal right at the edge of the four poster bed and threw her an apologetic look. Her own eyes went wide, and YN shook her head - slowly at first until it became faster and harder with every passing heartbeat. "No. Don't you fucking da-...!" But it was too late because just as the Widow tried to finish the threat laying on the tip of her tongue, Stephen pushed her off his body, off the bed, and straight into the portal.
YN hated the feeling of falling - he knew that fucking well! - and a shriek fought its way out of her throat until she hit the edge of her own bed in her room at the compound. She felt and heard a crack as her back hit the edge of the mattress because this obnoxious, massive, and idiotic specimen of a moron had miscalculated everything, and she hung upside down on the furniture. Her arms were stretched over her head, hands resting on the carpet laying in front of her bed to prevent icy feet in the morning, and a groan escaped her as soon as her back started to protest vehemently.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!"
The portal was long closed, but YN felt the urge to scream her frustration out in the open before another groan left her.
"Fuck."
-
Stephen knew very well that he had a lot of making up to do after what he had just done, but they had never been this close to getting caught by the remaining team, who was still painfully unaware of the couple underneath them.
"Why do you barge into my home on a Saturday afternoon? Are you feeling lonely, Stark? Sorry to break it to you, but I'm neither your wife nor your boyfriend, which you brought here as well, what a surprise. Rogers." The two men, plus Wong and Wanda, almost stumbled over themselves as they pushed open the door and entered his bedroom, just as the portal had closed itself after one movement of his hand. Too close, reminded the voice in his head, and Stephen knew that YN and he had to discuss this very prominent issue in their lives.
The arriving Avengers composed themselves again before Tony spoke up. "If you would have been so kind and answered the thirty-six calls and messages, we wouldn't have to come all the way here, Gandalf. But as you obviously fucked up your phone, because I can't think of another reason for not answering, we had to come to pick you up like a damn lost kid at the information counter in a mall." His gaze didn't even flicker to the phone resting atop the bedside table. The sorcerer had put it in flight mode to have some uninterrupted hours with his girl, but that little habit of his bit them both in the ass. They really needed to talk about the whole ordeal. "So, swing your lazy ass out of this bed and do your job. Earth called to get rescued again."
And with that, Tony left, leaving a sighing Steve behind, while Wanda observed Stephen too closely for his liking. The sorcerer raised an eyebrow, challenging her with a glare to keep doing that, and the witch started to smile a small smile before following Tony down the grand staircase. After a "We should get going" from America's Golden Boy, he left as well, leaving only Wong and Stephen in his room. The other sorcerer shrugged with an expression almost describable as apologizing, and he shook his head before changing into his blue robes with a looping motion of his hand and a snap of his fingers.
Cloaky was right at his side and put itself on his shoulders but pushed the sorcerer to a sudden halt as it motioned into the direction where the portal to YN's bedroom had closed a few moments ago. "We'll check on her, I promise." The ancient artifact seemed pleased for the moment, but Stephen dreaded the future encounter with his girlfriend because he could already imagine her words and could vividly picture the scene unfolding in front of him a few hours later.
And he was right.
-
After a successful mission filled with otherworldly beings - the reason why 80% of the attending team had been able to handle magic - Stephen returned with the others to the compound and delivered his report before slipping away. He needed to find YN to evaluate the damage he had caused with his little stunt, and he obviously wasn't the only one with that thought because the red fabric around his shoulders parted from his master to fly a few steps ahead, even though it didn't know where they should head.
Looking up toward the corridor's ceiling, Stephen contemplated if it was a thoughtful idea to ask Tony's AI. The Stark was nothing but thorough, so it wouldn't surprise the sorcerer if the douchebag made notes after each and every day about what each team member had asked. But he had to take the risk if he didn't want to waste countless hours searching the vast compound by foot.
"FRIDAY? It's FRIDAY, isn't it?" He had never used the AI, not a single time, even though he had been part of this circus for longer than he liked to admit. "How can I be of assistance, Doctor Strange?" At least she doesn't sound like Tony himself, was all Stephen could think at that moment because it would be so typical for this self-loving prick. "Are you able to locate people inside the building?"
Meanwhile, he continued walking without a destination yet. "That is indeed part of my abilities. Who do you wish to locate?" He turned a corner and found himself in front of an elevator, Cloaky already levitating in front of it. "YN," it was almost a mumble, but the AI still understood him. Thinking about it in more detail, Stephen really didn't want to know what FRIDAY could hear inside the personal rooms of the Avengers.
Maybe Tony never took notes because if he would, there was not even the slight possibility that he didn't know about them - and Stephen would be long strangled in a random corner of the compound.
"Miss LN is currently on the second floor, gym 03." The elevator immediately opened its door and Cloaky floated inside, beckoning Stephen to follow it with an almost annoyingly raise of its fabric's edge. Sometimes the sorcerer wasn't sure if the Cloak of Levitation still saw him as its master or if he preferred YN over him. Sometimes it even felt like it was their child and had decided to be a mama's kid after hanging long enough at its father's heels.
Maybe he felt a bit betrayed, yes.
"Thank you, FRIDAY." Stephen could be polite if he wanted. "A pleasure, Doctor Strange."
And with that, the elevator closed and brought him to the second floor to face the mess he had made.
He only had sat one foot on the floor, and the distinct sound of metal rushing through the air reached his ears. Swallowing thickly, Stephen followed the artifact, now knowing where it had to rush in order to check on its favorite person, while the sorcerer dreaded to enter the gym, where YN clearly handled pointy and sharp objects.
Probably with a picture of your face pinned against the bull's eye.
A throwing knife hit the target with a dull sound at the moment Stephen entered the gym, and he could see that YN had already drawn the next one out of the holster at her thigh. She flipped it gracefully in her hand, without even sparing one glance at it. He couldn't tell if she looked particularly angry or just tired, but at the sight of her next throw, he knew that something was off - and he would bet the last bits of his former fortune that it had to do with him. But Cloaky cleared the field for now and saved him from being punctured as it wrapped itself around her shoulders and almost lovingly nuzzled itself against her cheeks.
YN turned to him, cocking an eyebrow and casually playing with the delicate knife between her skillful fingers. "Look who's man enough to show up," the Widow smirked while patting the red fabric around her shoulders. Stephen stepped in her direction but stopped abruptly as the former assassin swiftly spun around and threw the last knife. She was already turned back to face him as the weapon was still mid-air and Stephen stared in utmost wonder as it hit the bull's eye nonetheless.
"You wanted to say something, darling?"
Her sweet smile couldn't fool the sorcerer, and the blunt show of her skill was nothing that scared him because he was certain of one fact: They would both never hurt the other, not even in their furriest rage.
But this game could be played by two.
With a barely visual flick of his right hand, Stephen gained a hold of her body without touching her and pulled her the last couple of steps to him until their bodies stood pressed against each other in the room. He wrapped an arm around her waist and started to play with her braided hair with the other hand.
"I came to apologize."
YN lifted the other brow. Even though they were in a pretty healthy relationship, it didn't happen every week that Stephen Strange uttered those words or even the magical sentence I am sorry which automatically implied that he admitted he did something wrong. That's why she waited patiently, hands resting on his upper abdomen.
A sigh left him. “I only had your best intentions in mind, primarily because we never talked about how to approach the topic in front of the others, and I figured you would preferrer to crack it to them in a more… neutral environment than our bedroom.” She hummed in agreement but still waited. Stephen eyed her face and let go of her braid to cup her cheek softly. “I am sorry, darling,” he whispered now, and after a deep breath, YN nodded. “Okay. But don’t you dare do that ever again, especially if your mind isn’t fully focused because I don’t feel the need to hit the edge of my bed a second time. My back still hurts, you moron.” And with that, she raised one arm to hit the back of his head softly with an open palm, but it was enough to convey the message.
Instantly, a worried expression settled on his handsome face, and the hand resting on her lower back started to trace her spine underneath the red fabric of the cloak that now clumsily caressed her other cheek. Stephen put pressure on his touch, feeling every vertebra pressing unyieldingly against his fingertips, and Stephen observed her face almost painfully close. She didn’t move a muscle, but he witnessed the slight furrow of her forehead and brows as his fingertips reached the middle of her back, where her spine gently curved.
Right at the lumbar curve, between L2 and L3, he thought while his fingertips continued the pressure in various places. It’s probably the ligament between.
“Does it hurt when I release the pressure?” His question was softly spoken, and YN still looked up to him, eyeing his face attentively. She cocked her head from one side to the other. “Kind of? It’s probably just the bruise, nothing to worry about. But hey, now we know that the bed frame is exceptionally sturdy.” YN grinned up at him, but Stephen only shook his head before taking her hand in his. “We’re going to the med bay to check you out, right now,” he decided, and the sorcerer’s mind was made up.
When it came to her, he needed to be 100% sure that everything was okay.
But they didn’t come far. Instead, they stopped dead in their tracks as the couple faced Peter and Scott, both staring at them with wide eyes after they had processed the meaning of interlaced fingers. Peter started to grin while Scott’s expression didn’t resemble joy over the newly found love. YN knew that mischievous look in his eyes, the glimmer of a stupid idea developing in his mind. “Scott…,” the Widow spoke warningly, but this son of an ant chuckled before spinning around and starting to run. “I will revel in your embarrassment, YNN!” He shouted over his shoulder, but YN couldn’t let that happen. She stopped holding Stephen’s hand, and the sorcerer couldn’t utter a single word before his girlfriend bolted right after the other Avenger. “And I will revel in your screams filled with pain and agony after I broke your flat ass, Lang!” Her angry words traveled over the corridor, and now it was only Peter and Stephen facing each other.
The young man started to grin again after the confusion and surprise had vanished from his face. “I am really happy for-…” But Stephen only needed to shake his head to one side to let him fall silent again. “Don’t, Parker,” was all he said before following the path YN and Scott had taken, the young hero hot on his heels.
This was certainly not how he had thought everyone would find out about them, and he had already played with images of Scott dangling over a cliff or freezing his ass off at the foot of Mount Everest within his mind. It wasn’t himself who the sorcerer was concerned – he couldn’t give less shit on the other’s opinion about him. But he knew how much it meant to YN because this bunch of mostly idiots was her family. Not by blood but by choice, and Stephen had never intended to overshadow anything about that. Now he feared that everyone would give her a hard time and what that would mean for her mental health.
Stephen was nothing but an over-worryingly boyfriend.
With a sigh, he followed the sound of steps and canceled Peter’s voice out entirely because he couldn’t handle all these questions now or ever. He liked the kid, he was a decent human after all, but his rambling nature wasn’t something Stephen particularly enjoyed. Instead, he focused on the shouting and watched after rounding the last corner as the catastrophe unfolded in front of his eyes.
First-row seats for your own downfall, wonderful.
YN panted heavily while hanging on Scott’s back to try and hold his gossiping mouth shut, but he was too used to it with a daughter at home. So, the inevitable happened only seconds later.
“YNN and Harry Potter are a thing!”
Immediately, the entire living area was silent as a grave, every movement ceased, and every single pair of eyes turned to Scott and the other arriving parties.
YN slowly slid off his back and threw Ant-Man a death glare – she would definitely try and step on him during one of their next missions – but she swallowed thickly at the stares moving between her and a certain someone somewhere behind her. The Widow knew that Stephen was here because she could feel his body temperature in her back only a heartbeat later, before his hands settled on her shoulders, softly stroking them with his thumbs.
Nat was the first to speak. “Well, that’s a surprise.” Clint cocked an eyebrow and threw Peter an approving nod. “You were right. Good ears, kid.”
Stephen felt as if he could touch her boiling anxiety under his fingertips and bent down to press a tender kiss to her temple while Steve marched a few steps in their direction before stopping again. His eyes searched her face, tried to read her mind, and settled on the sorcerer to evaluate the situation. But he spoke to YN. “Is he treating you right?” The woman didn’t need to think for even a second. “Better than the Queen of England,” she answered without hesitation, and Steve could see the tender expression in her worrying eyes. So he gave one nod of approval and settled back into the armchair.
Tony, on the other hand, seemed not pleased at all. He marched to the couple and weaseled his way past YN to shove Stephen a few inches back. “First, you insult her at every given occasion, and then you have the audacity to fuck her and play happy family?! Is your ego this massive?!” The Widow had spun around the second he had reached Stephen and had touched him, but instead of relying on violence, she grasped his wrist in a soft hold. She urged him with a pull to turn to her, to look at her and not to Stephen, but her face wasn’t as sweet as her touch. The Stark could clearly see the burning fire behind those irises who once had looked up to him with a terrified expression, unsure of what to expect after being finally her own person and having her very own life.
“You know I love you like the brother I never had, Tons, but if you touch him again, I have to kick your ass, and not even your precious suits will safe you then.”
YN didn’t have to raise her voice to convey the meaning to everyone, but especially Tony, because the Stark swallowed dryly. He had never thought to once be on the other side of the situation – not standing next to her and listening with utmost joy and pride as she threatened others but being the target of said threat. It was an unpleasant feeling, and he didn’t want to imagine how unpleasant it must be to feel her full wrath.
Meanwhile, Stephen stood there, a tender expression settling on his face – an expression never seen before by the others which threw them almost off their feet – and a pleased smile on his lips. “That’s my girl,” he told no one in particular in a mumble. YN heard it, though, and started to smile before throwing Tony one last warning glare and leaving him to stand next to her sorcerer again. “To make it official,” she raised her voice and gestured to Stephen, who already had his arm wrapped around her waist again. “May I introduce you to my boyfriend of one and a half years, Stephen Strange?”
The team’s eyes almost popped out of their holes at the mention of how long this had been going on behind all their backs, and Sam chuckled. “Never accept missions again which require detective skills. We suck at it,” he stated the obvious, while Steve almost choked on his coffee. “And I once called her my best friend.” YN grinned at him and shrugged softly. “I know what a gossip you can be with the right people around you, so… sorry, sweets,” she apologized, and Steve looked at her with a tender expression nonetheless. “I’m just happy that you’re happy. It always was the one thing I wished for you to find.”
Looking up to Stephen, who battled Tony in a glaring contest, a small but loving smile tucked on her lips, she nodded before turning back to Steve, who seemed more than content at the view of his best friend. “I am, Stevie. I really am.” Those words almost got swallowed by Tony’s exaggerated scoff, but Steve had the advantage of super soldier hearing, so he only smiled and didn’t stop observing the new couple while Bucky settled next to him. “She still will be your best friend, punk. Don’t go all brotherly tears now because your baby sister is grown up and finds her own life,” he chuckled while patting his best friend’s shoulder.
Meanwhile, Tony stared YN dead in the eye. “If he ever hurts you, I will end him personally. He only has to raise his voice in front of you, and I’m on my way. If his ego tries some bullshit, give me a call.” And turned to Stephen, he told sternly: “She has my number saved in her favorites.”
YN rolled her eyes. “Yeah, and I can remove said number out of my favorites. Plus, he is on this list, too.” And with that, she pointed to Stephen right next to her. Tony scrunched up his face. “Urgh, then please, I beg you, put me off that list if he is on there.”
“You are an absolute ass without reason.”
“Born like that.”
“It’s a shitty character trait. Do I need to call Pepper?”
Now, Tony stared down at her challenging face and gulped. “No…?” He morphed the one syllable into a question before raising both hands in surrender. “Okay, fine. I approve of this relationship.” The sorcerer scoffed. “We don’t need your stamp of approval,” he clarified, and YN warningly rubbed over his back. “We only told you because YN considers all of you family and didn’t want to lose you. So, toughen up, Stark, and swallow the bitter pill so we can move on from here because this woman deserves a dinner in the comfort of our bed and some episodes of Golden Girls after this day.”
She couldn’t comprehend his words because suddenly, Nat stood in front of her and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. She wrapped both arms around the fellow Widow and felt the redhead’s lips pressing soft kisses over her head. They may be close in age, but YN had always been the little sister in this relationship. “Thank you for choosing us as your family, Солнышко 1,” (1: little sun) Nat spoke in the soft tone entirely reserved for her most favorite people. “Thank you for accepting me, сестра 2.” (2: sister)
Nat squeezed her shoulder before letting go of her, and the Widow turned back to Stephen, one brow raised. “You said something about Golden Girls?” The sorcerer showed his signature smirk, and while a portal started to open in his back, he grabbed YN around her hips and threw her over his shoulder. A squeal escaped the surprised woman, but a laugh followed close, and grinning, she waved the other Avengers while Stephen carried her over the threshold of the portal right into the foyer of the Sanctum.
“Don’t you dare call or text us in the next 48 hours, Stark!”

Title: Orientation
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe you let hyung talk you into volunteering. Let alone a whole day of giving tours to baby freshmen who have proven to be no smarter than a box of rocks and just as annoying.” Hyunjin scoffs as he catches sight of you, tugging on your ‘Department of Sciences’ hoodie. 
Jisung makes a noise of annoyance in his throat, a nonverbal beratement at Hyunjin to stop moving around so goddamn much, and paints another coat of nail polish across the omega’s nail, his tongue stuck between his lips in concentration. 
You sigh and roll your eyes. “You get a class credit for doing it. It’s an easy A.” 
Hyunjin snorts, but stays still this time, giving you an unconvinced stare from the kitchen table. “Still can’t believe it.” 
“And I still can’t believe that you all took bets on my kinks.” Chan enters the kitchen now on the tail end of the conversation, straightening his unruly curls with his fingers, already sporting his navy ‘Department of Music’ sweatshirt. He gives Hyunjin a sharp stare, only given away by the slightly amused twitch to his lips. “So I guess we’re even.” 
Minho appears in the doorway, looking entirely too sleep rumpled for almost eleven in the morning, and scowls at all of you. 
“What the hell are you all doing in my kitchen?” 
“Hanging out.” Hyunjin offers unhelpfully, as Jisung finishes one of his hands with a flourish and an admonishment to blow carefully on the wet nails. 
“I think the freshmen are cute.” Felix chimes in, sliding into the seat next to Hyunjin and resting his head lightly on the other omega’s shoulder. “They’re precious, all wide eyed and innocent and excited for a new year.” 
Minho looks downright exasperated now. 
“Oh my god, is literally everyone here?” 
Jisung scoffs. “You would. Leave it to Sunshine Angel Baby Felix to think the newest wave of fresh meat is ‘adorable.’” 
“I hate the freshmen.” Changbin grunts, sliding carefully past Minho in the doorway, headed straight for the fridge, as he tugs open the door and reaches inside to pull out a bottle of orange juice. “They come into the studio spaces and fuck all the equipment up.” 
He lifts the juice to his lips in an annoyed sort of motion and takes a swig right from the jug. 
“Seo Changbin, I know you did not just drink straight out of my carton like some sort of bumbling, disgusting, uncivilized neanderthal.” 
Changbin looks suitably apologetic as he wipes his mouth on the back of his hand. “Sorry, hyung.” 
“The actual worst thing about freshmen though, is that they don’t know how to keep their stupid hands or thoughts to themselves.” Hyunjin continues with barely concealed annoyance, as Seungmin skirts around the still lurking Minho and tosses Changbin a cup from the cabinet with remarkable ease. 
Minho sighs and scrubs down his face with his hand as if he’s about to commit murder, before he turns and disappears back down the hallway to his room without a word. 
A moment later, a door slams shut.
“Yeah.” Jisung agrees with a vicious nod, digging around in Minho’s pantry and emerging victoriously with a bag of chips in his fisted grip, which he uses to point sternly in Hyunjin’s direction, then your own. “Noona is hella hot-goddamn fine even-and those little cretins are gonna be hitting on her alllllll day.” 
Beside you, Chan makes a sound of betrayal in his throat. 
“What am I, chopped liver?” 
You grin and turn to the put-out alpha standing beside you, patting his cheek a few times, none too gently, with the open palm of your hand. 
“You’re very pretty, Christopher. Now c’mon, we’re gonna be late.” 
********
You pop open a much needed can of Monster on your walk across campus, and Chan immediately gives you a judgmental side eye as you lift the energy drink to your lips. 
“Energy drinks are bad for you, you know.” 
You take a long sip, and stare him down boldly. “Funny, cause you know what else is bad for me? Children. And we’re about to spend the whole day with a fuck ton of them.” 
Chan considers you for a moment, dark eyes thoughtful, and then reaches for the can, fingers curling around your own as he steals it and raises it to his own lips for a quick swig. 
“Touche.” 
You walk in silence for several moments, gravel crunching beneath your feet, and then Chan says, glancing sidelong at you once more, “You look cute, you know? In your department sweatshirt.” 
You roll your eyes and hide the smile that’s threatening behind your teeth. 
Instead, you turn to him and raise a brow, keeping your expression serious. 
“I’d look cuter if it were off of me though.” 
Chan chokes on the sip of energy drink he has just stolen, and you laugh as he hands you back the can once more, coughing, desperately trying to scrub off the spilled stain that now marks the front of his hoodie. 
“Shit.” 
You pull him to a stop, turning him to face you as you knock his fumbling hands out of the way and pat at the spilled energy drink with a napkin from the recesses of your backpack. 
You’re aware he’s watching you, but you purposefully keep your gaze downturned, focusing more than is necessary on wiping away the stain from the navy material. 
You finally chance a glance up at him through your lashes. 
“You’re just too easy, baby. I had to.” You give a little laugh and a shrug as you finally release your hold on him, but don’t step away. “Sorry.” 
Something flickers across his gaze at your words, but you don’t catch what it is before it disappears, and then he says quietly, “Say that again.” 
You tilt your head and stare up at him, confused. 
“What? Sorry?” 
He shakes his own head, curls falling into his eyes, and there is a thin ring of gold around his pupils now, bleeding into the caramel of his irises. 
“No. What you called me.” 
Understanding dawns on you, and you swallow, trying to ignore the sudden heavy scent of rain in the surrounding air. 
“What, baby?” 
Chan hums, a contented sort of rumble in his chest, and your wolf practically salivates at the way his pupils dilate in response to your voice, and that word. 
“Interesting.” You muse, smirking now. 
You take a step closer to him. 
Chan lets out a long, controlled breath between barely parted lips, and shakes his head, and when he looks at you again, there’s no sign of the gold, of the alpha, that plagued his eyes, only moments before. 
He offers you the hint of a sheepish smile as you feel your own wolf retreat a bit. 
“Sorry. It’s been awhile.” 
You study him for another long moment, and then put some space in between you once more.
“Changbin calls you ‘babe’ at the studio all the time. He told me.” 
Chan grimaces as you both continue to walk once more.
“Yeah, but that’s not the same, that’s just in joking. Bros being bros.” 
“Is it?” You query, glancing at him from the corner of your eye, and you see realization begin to cross his face. 
“Isn’t it?” He repeats back slightly under his breath, brow furrowed. 
You groan and roll your eyes, hurrying your steps so he has to catch up to you, still looking deep in thought. 
“God, the music department is so gay.” 
********
“Okay, any questions?” You clap your hands to get the chattering group of freshmen’s attention, as Chan does his best to round them up into one space outside the campus cafeteria. 
One of the girls-Rheena? Raina?-raises her hand.
You point to her. 
“Yeah.” 
She glances at Chan like he’s put the stars in the sky, her pale pink lips slightly agape as she ogles. 
“Is he your boyfriend?” 
Chan looks caught off guard, glancing at you with a hooded expression, one brow raised.
You sigh. “Yes.” You glance around the group, ignoring the crestfallen look on the omega girl’s face. “Any other questions?” 
Another freshman raises their hand, this time, a boy. 
You don’t like the cocky look in his eye. 
“How’d you manage to bag another alpha? Isn’t that like, weird or something?” 
You sigh again, longer this time, and mutter beneath your breath, “I meant questions about the tour, god.” 
You force a smile onto your face and stare down the smirking little shit-newly alpha-as you say tightly, “It’s not weird. Perfectly acceptable actually.” 
The boy looks like he’s about to say something else, but luckily, Chan jumps in before he can speak again. 
“Okay!” He claps his hands loudly and grins at the freshman. “Lunch time! You can enter the cafeteria through the doors behind you, use the cards we showed you to pay for your meal plan, and then find somewhere to sit.” He glances down at the watch he wears and then back to the group of kids before you. “You’ve got an hour and a half, and then we need to meet back here for the final leg of the tour, okay? Everybody got that?” 
There are several nods and murmurs of agreement, and then the group of freshmen disperse and disappear into the swinging doors that lead to the cafeteria. 
You blow out the annoyed breath you’ve been holding and subtly flip little alpha man off behind his back as he leaves your sight. 
Beside you, Chan chuckles. 
“You weren’t kidding when you said you didn’t like kids.” You scoff and shoot him a glare. “It’s not that I don’t like kids, okay? I just don’t like that kid.” 
Chan grins, all flashing pointed teeth, and hands you your sack lunch as you both settle onto the cement stairs behind you, a knowing look in his eyes as he watches you dig around for your sandwich. 
“Fair. But you also have to remember-” He takes a bite of his own sandwich, chewing thoughtfully. “-it sucks to present. He’s probably dealing with a whole slew of hormones from his alpha that he didn’t even have to think about before.” 
You chew sullenly, unwilling to give Chan the point he deserves. 
He takes a sip from his coke and glances at you sidelong, waiting. 
You sigh and crush your own now empty can between your fingers. 
“Fine. I’ll try to give him the benefit of the doubt.” 
Chan grins, tossing his eaten lunch into the nearest trash can, before he leans over and pats your head in an altogether annoying way, which is why it catches you off guard completely when he murmurs in your ear, breath warm on your skin, voice dipping into deep alpha timber. 
“Good girl.” 
You swallow your bite of sandwich, now dry in your mouth, and try not to think about earlier, when he had asked you to repeat what you had said, in that same lilting, deep, commanding tone. 
Say that again. 
You repress a shudder and throw your own half eaten lunch into the same trash can. 
“Well if it isn’t my two favorite nerds.” 
A familiar voice breaks through the tension of the moment, followed by a snap of Autumn in the air, and you both glance up as San, grinning ear to ear, comes into view around the corner of the cafeteria. 
You immediately groan even as Chan stands to give the incoming beta a high five. 
San’s face doesn’t lose its grin as they both settle back down beside you, the beta throwing his arms around the two of you and pulling you close. 
“Sup, alphas?” 
You roll your eyes. “Why am I not surprised that you’re here? Although-” You glance to where he appeared, half expecting to see Wooyoung rounding the corner at any moment. “-where’s your better half? I’d think your ugly mug would scare the children if he’s not around.” 
You offer him a sweetly innocent smile. 
San scoffs. “Please. I’m hot as fuck and you know it.” 
A crisp, cold wave of early Autumn washes over you at his words, and you make a show of pinching your nose. 
“Seriously, Sannie, did he forget your leash? There’s no other way he’d let you wander around on your own.” 
“For your information, I hold his leash, so jot that down-” San leans into you and runs his cold nose along your throat, even as you shove him away from you. He gives you a grin so wide his eyes disappear into crescents. “-and second, he’s rounding up our kids for the second half of the tour.” 
“You let him do that on his own?” Chan asks with slight amusement, glancing down at his watch, even as he stands and stretches. 
“Of course.” San shrugs, dark eyes gleaming now, as he smirks wickedly. “I wanted him to know what the rest of us have to deal with on a daily basis, living with him.” 
“Cruel.” You remark, but there’s respect in your tone, and he knows it. 
“Cruel, but just.” He gives you a wink, and you grin. 
San stands, towering next to Chan, and stretches his own arms above his head, his maroon ‘Department of Dance’ sweatshirt riding up to reveal a tan swath of skin, and the beginning lines of the dark ink of his matching tattoo that he shares with his moonmate, sketched across his hip. 
You stand as well, gathering up the last of your trash, and San gives you a questioning look. 
“Where’s Minnie? Couldn’t convince him to come this year?” 
You snort beneath your breath. “Lee Minho would rather pull out his own teeth than have to deal with freshmen-and you-all day.” 
San makes a wounded face, always dramatic, as you all begin walking toward the cafeteria and the bustling groups of freshmen. 
“Damn. Harsh.” He grins roguishly. “I was really looking forward to us wearing matching couple’s hoodies.” 
“Pretty sure Minho burned that sweatshirt the first week of school. Something about ‘lack of school spirit and maroon isn’t his color.’” Chan remarks dryly from San’s other side, and the beta mocks a pout. 
“He would.” 
San glances over your head and waves wildly to someone, and you follow his gaze, finding a harried looking Wooyoung standing with a large group of gathered freshmen, tapping his foot impatiently and glaring at the beta beside you. 
San whistles beneath his breath. “He looks mad.” 
You nod in agreement. “You’re gonna die.” 
Chan claps the beta on the back. “Hell of a way to go, man.” 
San sighs, and then he perks up again, whirling to face the two of you even as he walks away, walking backward and somehow narrowly avoiding every freshman in his path. 
He points to the two of you. “Oh, hey! We’ve got a freshie in our group that doesn’t belong. Not interested in Dance or anything down that alley whatsoever, but he’s still undecided major wise. Care if I send the little dude to you for the second half? Maybe he’ll dig science or music.” 
Beside you, Chan shrugs. 
“Sure. Send him over.” 
San gives you an enthusiastic double thumbs up, and turns to run in the direction of the still waiting Wooyoung. 
“Think they’ll accept a trade?” You remark sarcastically beneath your breath, as your own group comes into view, cocky little alpha shit right up front and center, your gaze immediately falling to him. 
Chan nudges you warningly in the side, and you bite back a smirk. 
He’s addressing the group of waiting freshmen, when San saunters over with the newest member of your entourage, pulling him up beside you quietly as Chan continues to go over the itinerary for the rest of the day. 
You glance over your shoulder at the beta, and unwittingly, your gaze falls to the boy beside him. 
He’s small, dark red hair falling over the tips of his ears, pointed features pretty and delicate, fox-like, the way he holds himself reminding you a little bit of Felix, unsure and hesitant. 
San is saying something to you, but you’re not registering, because something deep inside-your wolf-is keeping your gaze pinned on the mysterious freshman at his side. 
And then, it hits you. 
He doesn’t smell. He doesn’t have a scent. 
Whereas the rest of the incoming students haven’t quite learned how to control their pheromones yet, their scents strong in your nose, telling you exactly where they fall in the subgender way of things, the boy in front of you smells like nothing-nothing except laundry detergent and maybe a little bit of sweat from the high overhead sun. 
He’s unpresented? Is that even still a thing? 
Curiosity instantly rears its head, and your wolf simultaneously urges you forward without a second thought. 
You hold out your hand, and San stops talking, looking at you curiously. 
“(Y/N).” Your fingers don’t waver, as you watch the boy glance to you in slight surprise, and then down to your still outstretched hand. “And you are?” 
After another brief moment of hesitation, he places his palm in yours. 
“Yang Jeongin.”
San chuckles, giving you a knowing look, which you dutifully ignore, and claps the new student on the back once more. 
“Well, you’re in good hands, Jeongin. I’m gonna get going.” 
And then he’s gone, with one last pointed look in your direction. 
It’s then that you realize your fingers are still interlaced with Jeongin’s, and you pull back abruptly, clearing your throat, even as Chan finally finishes his long winded speech to the other freshmen. 
“Well, Jeongin.” You motion with your head to the group behind you. “Hopefully you think Music and Science are a bit more interesting than whatever those two goons had going on in your old group.” 
Jeongin stares at you for a moment, and then he smiles, and something within you loses breath at the sight, his sharp teeth flashing, eyes disappearing into crescent moons within his cheeks. 
“I’m sure I’ll fit in just fine.” 
You swallow hard, and pull your gaze away from his own, glancing at Chan now, who is staring at the two of you quizzically, one eyebrow raised in silent question. 
You shrug in the other alpha’s direction, and then turn back to Jeongin with a nod. 
“I’m sure you will, Yang Jeongin. I have no doubt about that.”

Let's talk about the "Iris killed Mephisto" situation
With season 3’s possible (and hopeful) arrival, I thought this post might be necessary.  I’ve been going through a lot of old lolirock posts, and the amount of people that seem thoroughly convinced that Iris was responsible for Mephisto’s death is absolutely astounding. Like, have we watched the same scene? You could attribute her a small fraction of the blame, sure. But all of it? It seems to me like some of yall (in a very Praxina fashion, may I add) just want someone convenient to blame. 
Like, I’m all in favor of the “Iris killed Mephisto” jokes, like, keep making them, I love them. But… it should stay that way… a joke. Because some people seem to have taken it quite literally. 
I think I’ve read something similar somewhere before but, Mephisto’s death was not only one person’s fault. That was the point. It was a combination of variables that all ended up going tremendously wrong for the twins, BUT, one in which NONE of the characters involved had any intention of contributing to. 
You wanna blame people? Sure, you could blame Iris. She was the one that allegedly couldn’t control her Shanilla form. She was the one who sent the blast that, when collided with Gramorr’s own energy force, hit and shattered the big, shiny, and mildly explosive rock, that was going to fall onto Praxina, before Mephisto yeeted her away like a ragdoll and took on the blast himself. Wow. Does that not sound far fetched and awfully convoluted? Yeah, because it is. If anything, you could say that Iris indirectly and totally unintentionally contributed to Mephisto’s death. 
And you know what? While we’re on the subject of blaming, why not blame Gramorr? He was the one who started this whole mess for everyone. He is the reason that battle was even happening in the first place. The energy Iris sent collided with HIS magic, causing the blast, so, logically speaking, he should also be blamed, right? Did he mean to “kill” Mephisto? No. Though if I’m being totally honest, he probably wouldn’t have cared either way, but still. I’m not sure he even noticed that was even happening. But it also wasn’t his intention. 
Oh, do you wanna blame someone else? Great! How ‘bout we blame Praxina herself? If she had just left with Mephisto, like he wanted, instead of “wanting to watch” (what the heck was that about anyways? babygirl, i love you but TF?!), they wouldn’t have been anywhere near the blast when it happened. And then, to save her from her own recklessness, Mephisto was the one who got screwed. 
Heck, we can even blame Mephisto himself. He was the one who decided to jump in front of his sister to save her, wasn’t he? No one made him do it. 
See? We can blame pretty much everyone. OR we could rip the page we took from Praxina’s blame book, crumple it into a ball, rip it to shreds, and throw it off of a bridge. No good comes from trying to find a non-existent scapegoat, and that’s something that some of you, AND Praxina alike, are going to have to learn at some point. Sometimes things aren’t just black and white. There are shades of gray (this is so cliché, but it’s true).
But let’s backpedal, shall we? Imagine Iris was actually the one who undoubtedly, yet accidentally killed Mephisto. I’m gonna ask the real question now. Why should she care? I love the twins more than anything else, obviously, they are my favorite characters in the show, and I feel awful about what happened to them. But they’re not exactly saints. I’m not even going to list all the awful things they did to the princesses, and Iris specifically, because we'd be here forever. But I’ll use Princess Brenda as an example. You know, the episode where Mephisto and Praxina basically “killed” all of Iris’s friends, AND the love of her life, just… because. And they did all that, 1) on purpose; and 2) did not feel bad about it in the slightest, and even gloated about it. Like, they were thrilled. So how exactly is this any different? If anything, it’s way worse. Iris indirectly and completely unintentionally killed Mephisto (as stated above), with lots of other people to be blamed for it as well, AND, she even apologized to Praxina, and said she felt sorry about her loss. She obviously didn’t feel good about it.
What I think screwed her over with certain members of the fandom was the “But you can’t blame me for it.” line. Because maybe I don’t know, YOU CAN’T. Also, what was she supposed to do? She knew it wasn’t fully her fault, as she fucking should. So should she just drop to the ground and cry her eyeballs out, and mourn the loss of her enemy who had consistently made her life a living hell for god knows how long? Like, are some of y’all mental? And it’s fucking hypocritical of Praxina to expect anything more than that from Iris as well, considering everything they've done to her (but, then again, Praxina IS a hypocrite, not a single surprise there).
At the end of the day, neither Iris, nor any of the other princesses owed Mephisto (or Praxina) anything. They didn’t owe him their grief, their mourning, they didn't owe him shit. Because, guess what? A lot of yall aren’t prepared to hear this but. Mephisto enjoyed screwing with the princesses' lives just as much as Praxina. No consideration whatsoever about anyone they had to trick, backstab or hurt. Yeah, Gramorr was making them do it. But they sure as hell were having a blast through it all. In fact, only near the end, when Gramorr was yapping about planetary enslavement or whatever, did Mephisto actually start to kinda realize the gravity of the situation (while Praxina was still on cloud fucking nine). Which- props to him, I guess. I think he was realizing that all of that wasn’t just some big elaborate joke. I think I’ve made a meme of this in the past like, “Wait. You guys are actually evil? I thought it was a joke.”, and this basically perfectly sums up what I think was going through his brain at that moment. That’s why he was so apprehensive till the very end. That, and also the fact that he was then starting to realize that him and Praxina were not any different from Lev, or Jodan, or any of the other minions Gramorr lied to and exploited, to do his dirty bidding for him. They, too, had been expendable, tricked into devoting their entire lives to someone who filled their heads to the brim with nonsense and empty promises of grandeur, when, in reality, he wasn’t actually planning on following through with anything. Why would he? After all, they were just cheap, stupid merchandise.
Still, none of that removes the fact that both Mephisto and Praxina were bad people. Yes, they were kids, so there was obviously room for growth if put in the correct environment, but nonetheless. And I agree with people when they say that Mephisto had more good in him than Praxina, but that still doesn’t make him a good person. The problem is that people like to babify him, and that kind of takes away all the complexity that makes his character so beautiful.
You can love a character and believe they deserved better, while also holding them accountable for their actions and acknowledging they weren’t perfect. 
This is going to sound insensitive as hell but the twins made their bed. Now they have to lay in it (well, Praxina has. Mephisto… well, he can't really lay on anything, can he?- because he is- ya know- dead, but… whatevs). 
Iris could’ve even not shown a single ounce of sadness for what happened to Mephisto and she still would’ve been well within her right to do so. Of course, she is objectively “good” so the expectations for her to do “good” are much higher than the bad guys. The villains are “objectively bad” so whenever they do something only slightly itty bitty nice they’re immediately reduced to “misunderstood” or “poor babies omg uwu” or “they didn’t do anything wrong ever”. Because for them the bar is on the floor, the expectations are low, they don’t need to do anything. For christ sake, let the protagonists make mistakes, allow them to not be perfect, to have dimension. Y’all can’t handle it, can you? Either Iris is a bitch for “killing” poor wittle baby Mephisto or she’s a, quote on quote, “Mary Sue”. Like, pick a lane and leave female characters alone. Let them be complex, let them lose their marbles, let them make mistakes and learn from them. This goes for Iris, but for Praxina too. 
She’s gonna fuck up a lot in season 3, we all know it. She’s gonna do unspeakable things, and I fully believe that, at some point, she might even get past the point of no return. Because she’s human too. Because, right now, she’s all alone without the one person that was always there for her, and that she always took for granted. This doesn’t have much to do with the original point of this post, maybe I’ll elaborate on this later, but I think that one of the main conflicts that Praxina is going to deal with this season is GUILT. The guilt of knowing you didn’t appreciate someone enough while they were there, that you took them for granted. She’s gonna think back to all the times she yelled at or hurt Mephisto (yes, most of that was your usual sibling stuff, but she did take it too far sometimes), and that’s gonna fucking break her. You just know she’s going to have those memories replaying over and over again in her head 24/7. And that’s gonna fuck her up badly. 
She’s still a bad person, but she has layers. She is a complex human being, always, but now more so than ever, and y’all better keep that in mind (also, please please please @teamlolirock, you have the opportunity to do something great with this, maybe even something a little darker to get different audiences for the show as well, and peak the interest of people that aren’t all that familiar with the show yet, please do not waste it, DO NOT squander this potential). 
Also, might I add, I loved how in character for her it was that she immediately blamed Iris for the whole Mephisto thing. Like, if there’s something Praxina has never done during this whole show, was take the blame for anything. That’s her Achilles’s heel, one of her biggest fatal flaws (that and her ongoing hypocrisy. pride too), and of course this situation would only exacerbate it. Well played, @teamlolirock, well played. Here, take my hat. 
Anyways, Banes is the true bitch, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he turned out to be the big bad boss, and I don’t see people discussing it enough (I might make a post on this too when I have the time). 
With that being said, if you’ve read this far, thank you, and I’d like to know your thoughts. If there’s anything this fandom is missing is some good old’ character and world building dissection. Have a good one.
XOXO
