what sports i think the metkayina trio + spider would play modern au headcanons!
second part to what sports i think the sully children play!
slowly but surely trying to get thru this writer block & hiatus 🤞🏽
Tumblr media
ao’nung
swimming and/or water polo
— he probably just naturally has a build built for water sports so he excels in it & is super cocky about it too (#blessedgenes)
— was defeated not given the choice on which sport he’d play when he was younger. both of his parents probably did either sport so they’d want him to also do it as well. or they at least wanted him to do one
— i don’t see him being the team captain but he’d def be co-captain or an alternate. he loves the sport don’t get him wrong but not to the extent where he’d be team captain. he already has enough pressure to perform well & doesn’t need that kind of title placed on him
— def see him being a butterflyer or a backstroker. like he much rather do those strokes in a swim meet than the other two
— is 100% the type of kid to have “eat my bubbles!” sharpied onto his arm or lower back during meets. probably begged his mom to write it on there too 😭
— also has to have the order of his races written on his arm so he doesn’t forget the order & where he’s supposed to go
— sees no point in wearing a swim cap
— always challenged himself by trying to score a point higher from his last game in water polo or get a better time in whatever stroke for swimming. he’d make sure to ask his parents to like reward him or something so he’d have the drive to do it. but even then, he’s still able to do it without the prize
— wears sandals everywhere. period. no arguments.a
— has such a bad swim trunk tan line. he really tries to get it even in the summer or during swimming season by wearing speedos lol
tsireya
volleyball (indoor, sand, + grass)
— girl is graceful asf on the court
— position would probably be setter or outside i feel like. she might not have the height for it but def has the hops. like a secret weapon of sorts. you’d never expect it
— is 100% the team captain
— she is so supportive of her team & always makes sure that one of her teammates is not stuck in their head or blaming themselves for a bad play
— i can see her number either being 1 or some random ass number, like 49 or 27
— always has the best hair-dos on the court. she seriously goes all out
— def the designated braider of the team so she has to make sure her girls are looking fresh asf on the court too 🫶🏼
— very humble about her accomplishments & wins. she very much believes that an individual does not win a game, a team does so all of that congratulations should be projected to the team rather than on an individual level
— probably has this pregame ritual where she gets there super early to get used to the size of the gym/court. peppers by herself & gets into the zone 100%
— does volleyball literally all year around. so she’ll do school & club for indoor, sand in the summer, & grass for fun. it’s her whole life tbh
— ronal is 100% the team mom. no questions asked
swimming
— i can also see her doing swim, but like only for a club during the summer when she doesn’t have anything for volleyball
— her & ao’nung are the best sibling duo in this sport 100%. they’re always paired up for a medley relays
— she likes free style more than the other strokes so that’s her main event during meets usually
— isn’t as passionate about it as her parents or brother. would much rather do & play volleyball than swim
— is also the kid to have “eat my bubbles!” written somewhere on there body lol
rotxo
soccer
— i can def see him playing soccer & being like a striker or a forward
— is def the one that annoys the coach to no end & ends up causing the team to run laps bc of it. sometimes it’s totally not intentional. it just happens lol
— team clown 100%
— he doesn’t really score a lot of goals but he does assist his teammates in their scoring. has the most assists on his team (idk if that’s a thing in soccer)
— has the most weirdest celebrations ever whenever he does manage to score
— been playing since he could walk fr
— jersey number is probably something like 14 or a random even number. bro likes even numbers for some reason
— is a really versatile player & if need be, can play goalie or be a defender if a player is out sick or injured
— def plays for his school & local town club
baseball
— can def see rotxo playing this as well
— most definitely a catcher (idk why but i just see it)
— probably only got into it to work on his soccer skills somehow or to work on his eye & hand coordination since he’s quite good with his feet & eyes
— only plays for his school since soccer usually takes up most of his free time
— lowkey has a wicked curveball
— he likes the catcher uniform bc it looks like he’s an autobot from transformers lol
— surprisingly somehow became captain & doesn’t know what to do with that title most times
— really good at determining calls for the pitcher & suggesting what they should throw next
spider
hockey
— no one would expect someone like spider to play this sport so everyone’s shocked when he says what sport he plays
— probably a defenseman & has the most penalties on his team lol
— ^ will literally fight everyone on the ice if need be. he plays dirty & truly doesn’t give a single fuck
— not a team captain but probably one of the alternatives. he’s more on the silent side regarding his “captaincy” but has the ability to talk his teammates up when they aren’t playing very well. bro has a way with words fr
— a lot of people think he’s a playboy hockey player but that’s FAR from the truth. he barely has enough confidence to talk to a girl on & off the ice. poor boy just shuts down
— since he’s like 6’0+, his build is really intimidating & he uses it to his advantage. def slams others into the boards as hard as he can when they’re down however many points. like, just imagine a 6’0+ dude like spider skating down the ice at literal lightning speed to slam you into the boards. i’d be shitting my pants fr
— started playing at the age of like 4 or 5 probably
— he loves skating so much that he goes to the rink or puts on rollerblades & just skates around to calm down or let out some steam. it’s really his outlet
— his number is most definitely 69 or 96. some funny shit like that
— will also defend his teammates with his life on the ice if someone were to fuck with them. that’s his family. he’d do anything for them
— ^ especially their goalie. bro is only gentle with their goalie & if anyone fucks with them, you best expect his gloves to be thrown & knuckles bloody from how hard he punched. ride or die fr
— nicknames probably consist of spider (obvi), kilometer (for miles lol), socks (for socorro), ironfist (for how much he gets into fights), & oreo/orro (for socorro)
— has the talent & ability to potentially go to college for hockey. he puts so much time & effort into his skills & the sport & it def shows through how he plays

Random Metalocalypse Headcanons
Tumblr media
It’s about time I make content for those idiots/aff 🖤🥰
Murderface loves anything with cheese. Mac n Cheese, grilled cheese, cheese pizza (with stuffed crust), cheese fondues, cheesecakes, you name it. He would slather them with extra cheese if he has too. Unfortunately, he’s lactose intolerant. But does he care? Hell no. Murderface just LOVES cheese.
His bathroom is gonna stink for the next few days. I feel bad for the Klokateer in charge of cleaning that.
If Nathan ever gets a pet crocodile, he’ll probably name it something cool like Jaws or Slash. But he’d also go for something more ‘cute’ like Buttons or Spots.
Skwisgaar vaguely remembers watching Moomins when he was a kid. It was when Toki bought a few Moomin plushies that he suddenly remembers a bit about the cartoon. He didn’t care about some kids show from his childhood but surprisingly, he stuck around when Toki infodumps about them.
Toki on the other hand, never saw Moomins as a kid. **cough cough** abusive childhood **cough cough** When he first heard of the Moomin park, Toki was excited to go there. It was when he find out that it based off a cartoon so he binged watched the whole series in one night. Now he won’t shut up about it when he wants to talk about Moomins.
Then Toki begged the rest of the band to take him to the Moomin park and Skwisgaar ended up giving in first.
After Pickles told his mom to go fuck herself, he did some thinking for a while and realised how fucking awful his mother was to him growing up and that he can never satisfy her no matter how hard he tries. So he finally cut her off. Thank god cuz his mom sucks
That didn’t stop Molly from pestering Pickles again. Whenever she tried to call him after that incident, Pickles has the klokateers block her number.
The same thing goes for Seth too. Pickles tries really hard to ignore his calls or block his number from Australia. But since Seth now works for them, Pickles had to end up paying him back even if he didn’t want to. He still had to this feeling he owes something to Seth despite knowing how much of a shitty brother he was to him.
Toki LOVES Squishmallows. He bought a whole collection of them for his bedroom until it didn’t fit his room anymore. His favourites are the cat and bunny ones.
Every Dethklok member is neurodivergent one way or another. Don’t change my mind.
Skwisgaar’s guilty pleasure music is ABBA but he would never tell anyone about it. But then Toki looked through his playlist and snitched on him to his band mates. They all made fun of Skwisgaar for a while.
Toki makes a flower clown for his bandmates once. They all complained that it’s gay but they all kept it on nonetheless. Toki also made one for Charles, Dick Knubble and Abigail.
Unsurprisingly, Murderface loves visiting antique stores and cabinet of curiosities. He particularly loves taxidermy, old artefacts and bone collections.
Nathan and Pickles competed against each other in a burger eating competition once but it ended in a tie since they were both too stuffed.
Will make a part 2 soon after I think of more headcanons

alice, on a wednesday
"revenge porn? he fucking revenge-porned you?" alice was furious. after a brief make up conversation from their fight last week, annie had blurted out the whole story, and now there were no walls between her and alice again.
"it's like, it would almost be hot if it hadn't been ryan. but because it was him, it sucks," annie said.
"oh, i totally get it. like your angry himbo man you were fucking. if he was just posting your pictures without your permission to brag about you?"
"yeah, that's hot as fuck."
"totally agree. but the idea that he was trying to shame you... ugh, i don't like it. i fucking hate him. i want to kick his ass for you."
alice was relieved to hear that most of annie's friends had rallied for her. there were a few people, annie was still learning, who had gone the other way. she'd unblocked all the numbers that julia had blocked on her phone and read their shitty messages. it was upsetting. alice had a lot of experience in this regard.
"i've fucked a couple of married men in my time," alice said. "and things got messy. kind of on purpose. i was big on drama in my 20s. but by acting out as much as i wanted to, i learned who my real ride or die friends were!"
"well, julia is my ride or die and i fucked her boyfriend."
"well, just don't tell her. it'll go away."
annie knew this was bad advice but she took it anyway.
she met her dad for coffee that afternoon. he let her know that ryan had emailed the photos to him but that he'd only seen the first one and then deleted the message.
"i appreciate that," annie said. "but also i'm not shy, you can see me naked."
"i do feel a bit like, by telling you i thought sex was the only important part of relationships, i had a hand in causing this."
"well, what if you're right?" she said. "when did you last fuck mom?"
"this morning, in the shower," he said.
"hot," annie said, and laughed. "i have this patient who is so annoyed by her parents, but one thing i hear from her is how horny they are for each other, her dad is always filming her mom and stuff... i think it's nice."
"i don't think everyone in the world is hard-wired to be primarily sexual," he said. "but i think i am, and your mom is, and you are. but it's not surprising that your patient is averse to thinking about her parents fucking."
when annie got home, she got stoned in the bathtub and called jonah again. he came over before she was even out of the tub, and gave her two long, exceptional fucks. annie quite liked being on her hands and knees for him. he was so tall, his torso towered over her body. annie was 5'9", not that tall, but tall enough that it was an unfamiliar sensation to be dwarfed by a man.
he came on the front of her body both times even as she requested he cum inside her.
"why didn't you cum inside me?" she asked after the second time. "i was begging for it."
"i don't know, it seems too romantic," he said.
"not to me," she said. "it feels like... maximum dirty."
"are you on birth control?"
"no," annie said.
"well, that's another good reason why not," he laughed.
"you don't want to fuck a baby into me?" she asked, laughing.
"you did so much cocaine yesterday. i would not recommend getting pregnant. but you know, i never became a doctor."
"i never paid attention in sex ed," annie said. "i always got too horny to pay attention."
annie went to see carlos the next morning. she updated him on the whole ryan revenge porn fiasco. he seemed unsurprised. "he crossed a line, but you pushed him there," he said.
"fuck you," annie said.
"the mouth on you," he said. "you're definitely in some kind of spiral right now. just try to slow down."
annie absorbed this. "you're right," she said. "i am losing control."
"but if you can see that about yourself, it's a great sign," he said.
"isn't it kind of a sign that i'm potentially a sociopath?"
carlos sighed. "yeah, it can also be that sometimes."

Jasico prompt:
Nico as a VA who does ASMR recordings and Jason is his devoted fan/follower who listens and comments on everything he posts.
His voice was just soothing. He naturally spoke soft like a summer breeze, but he was good with accents too. He could mimic to the best of them. Still, Jason much preferred Nico's natural speaking voice. It filled him with a gentle air that had him floating as he laid down and listened to the soothing sound of whatever script Nico was reciting. Sometimes Jason didn't even hear the words. Just let himself soak in the clouds of Nico's voice, only taking in the gentle sounds he spoke.
--
Nico had a fan. A very rabid fan. Not rabid as his volatile but just. Rabid as in there. Every post Nico made, he could be certain if he doubled back hours later that fan would have commented on it. Liked it.
If Nico put out a tip jar, that fan was usually one of the first to donate and always had such a heavy amount. It felt overwhelming the first few times - almost like he was going to owe this person something for all the attention they were pouring into him. Sometimes he hovered his finger over the block button.
But he never pressed it. Just backtracked and breathed.
This fan wasn't like the others. They didn't come storming into Nico's DMs demanding certain content. They didn't email him begging him to voice act some indie project they had going on for free. They didn't desperately scream for information on projects he was working on, information he couldn't give out, and then berate him wildly for refusing.
This person was just there. It was kind of like having a sugar daddy that just genuinely wanted you to be happy, instead of your pants down and ass up.
Nico settled at his desk. His equipment was still set up for later, but he ignored it, choosing to lift his laptop lid and sign into his computer. Copying the link Walt texted him earlier, he began to type out a new message to his followers - and any strangers who stumbled across his posts.
Hey guys, my friend Walt is kickstarting his first indie project. It will be a RPG pixel game based on Egyptian gods. You can find more information at the link below. If all goes well, I will be voice acting as the Narrator and a couple secret characters.
He flapped his wrist, willing the pain to disappear before he kept typing.
As a bonus incentive to help my friend fund this project, I will be offering a customized 30 minute ASMR recording of your choice to the person who donates the most to the campaign. Screenshot your donation and submit it through the contact form on my website. I will only be doing this upon completion of the funding period. If you withdraw your donation for whatever reason, your submission will be taken out of consideration.
He submitted the post with a link to Walt's project and sat back. For a minute, he contemplated. His rabid fan... They never did request anything, even when Nico opened the floor to suggestions. Other people did. Then some got frustrated or upset when he didn't do them.
But this fan always seemed eager to please. He wondered if he should text Walt to keep an eye out for their username. Even if they didn't submit their screenshot for consideration, they'd probably still donate a ridiculous amount of money to back the project. Just because Nico asked.
It was weird to have this kind of power over one person. Maybe sugar daddy wasn't the word for what they were. It was probably something else - Bianca would know.
But she'd also make fun of him for it somehow.
--
Jason wrung his wrists nervously. He had spent... Well, it was certainly a number that would have his step-mom calling him once she did her quarterly review of his trust fund account, but it was worth it for the "Hi, Jason Grace, you won a customized recording from Nico di Angelo, aka The Ghost King. Please send a script or concept over for him to develop and record for you."
Hazel sometimes featured in the background of Nico's videos. He said she was his sister, slash assistant, slash business manager, because he was "shit with money" and "would probably live in a cardboard box without her".
Jason had been kind of hoping that Nico would email him personally, but he didn't mind seeing Hazel's name at the bottom. She always seemed so pleasant. She had a nice voice too. Just... not as nice as Nico's.
His eyes flitted nervously to the time at the bottom of his computer screen. Just one more minute.
His request had been sort of... unorthodox. He knew most people would probably have something in mind. Either a fully blown script or an idea - just like Hazel had requested. And technically Jason did have an idea.
It just.
Wasn't what most people would think of.
His concept was just. A chat. A talk. He didn't want Nico to play some character or act in any which way. He just wanted to hear him talk about anything. His day. His life. His hobbies. The colour of sky. Anything.
As soon as he emailed that that was what he wanted, Hazel had sent back a quick, "Are you sure?" He responded with an enthusiastic "yes", and she'd replied back with some dates and times for a video conference. He didn't think that would matter. Since he just wanted to hear Nico talk, there wasn't much to discuss.
But he wasn't going to turn down a chance to meet him face-to-face.
Well, over video, but it would be different this time. Nico didn't really do "lives". People had asked and he just said he didn't like being actively seen. At least with his videos, they were passive. He didn't feel like he needed to keep an eye on the audience.
The clock struck 3pm and Jason immediately clicked the link Hazel had emailed over a few hours earlier. He would've clicked it as soon as she sent it but he didn't want to seem too eager for it.
It took a few seconds but Nico's face emerged on the other side. Jason resisted the urge to gape. Nico was always pretty - it was half the reason he picked up followers so fast. But in his videos, even in photos, there was always shadows, dim lighting, something to disguise him in mystery and darkness, to really sell his moniker as The Ghost King.
But now he was swathed in soft pastel lights. Instead of his usual hoodie, he wore a comfortable dark crewneck sweater with an embroidered skull on the chest. His hair was partially tied back, still a large volume of hair spilling out. What did Piper call that again? A half ponytail.
It pulled his bangs back, showcasing his warm brown eyes.
Jason swallowed dryly as Nico looked around calmly and said, "Hi, Jason! Can you hear me?"
Jason was about to fucking have a heart attack. "Yes," he said quickly.
Nico grinned and Jason's heart soared. The smile was a wicked thing - wider than it had ever been in any photo. Nico didn't really smile in his videos, focused on the things he was saying. But some photos captured a half smile, peaking out around shadows - more smirk than grin most of the time.
Here he seemed content, pleased. "That's great. So... Hazel said you just wanted to hear me talk? She said-" He paused and turned, picking up a black phone. "-anything that comes to mind is fine."
Jason nodded rapidly. Already his pulse was beating fast. Nico's voice was so angelic, even just saying regular words with no intent behind them. Why wouldn't he want to hear Nico talk
Nico cocked his head curiously. "You sure that's all you want? No character you want me to imitate or persona you'd like me to act as?"
"No," Jason croaked. His mouth was dry. "I just- I really your voice."
A pleasant rosy hue spread across Nico's cheeks. Jason stared before he remembered that staring for so long was unsettling to people and blinked away. Nico didn't seem all that bothered by it. Instead he was regarding Jason with a curious gaze and amused eyes.
"Okay, let me just start recording then..." His voice trailed off as he clicked away at the screen. "Okay! Um." His eyes flickered upwards. "Well, Walt surpassed his funding goals and he's starting reaching out to people who said they were interested in working on the project. I can't reveal too many details right now, but the development is going well so far." His focus turned back to Jason. "Are you sure there isn't anything you'd like me to say?"
"No." Jason fought the urge to lay his arms down on his desk, rest his chin on his arms, close his eyes, and listen intently. Nico might think he was falling asleep if he did that. Instead, he just reclined comfortably in his chair and adjusted his headphones. "You can just talk about whatever."
Thirty minutes of Nico's voice would be enough. Plus he'd get a free recording, and at the start Nico would be saying his name.
He'd replay that moment over and over again until he'd memorized the sound of his name in Nico's beautiful voice like a permanent brand in his ears.
Nico crossed his arms over his chest and took a deep breath. "Okay. Let me know if you change your mind." He leaned in a little closer to the microphone. "Yesterday I went to the grocery store with my sister, Hazel. We were looking for garam masala. Hazel wanted to try this new recipe for butter chicken. I like it, but for some reason, I can never get the sauce to thicken properly. It's fine and good, but it is very liquid compared to what you get at a restaurant."
As Nico talked about his adventures with hunting down garam masala and frustratingly attempt to get the butter chicken sauce to thicken up, Jason soaked every word in like it was pouring rain on a long walk home. Every hitch of his breath, the change in tone, the softness, the roughness, the gravelly annoyance, the euphoric brightness - every iota of sound that he made plunged perfectly into Jason's ears, warm and soft like honey.
Desperately he didn't want it to end, but soon the clock flickered that thirty minutes had passed. It dragged on by a few more seconds, just to round out Jason's 30 minute recording, but then it was over.
He stiffened up as Nico trailed off then said, "Oh, time's up."
His heart sank into his chest. He didn't want it to be over. Wanted to hear Nico speak to him for as long as he could. "That was nice," he said instead.
He wouldn't whine. He was not owed Nico's time. Wasn't owed his presence. He won the time he won and he had the time he had.
That was enough.
"It was," Nico agreed brightly and Jason smiled. "You are a very easy audience, Jason."
Nico's laugh and the sound of Jason's name rolling of his tongue had him going warm. It spread hot through his chest and down into the pits of his belly.
"I'll send you the recording of this later today," Nico said. "It was nice to meet you, Jason." He waved and Jason waved back, hoping his hand wasn't moving too fast, that he didn't look too sad. "Bye."
"Bye," Jason echoed.
Nico vanished off the screen. Jason wilted and flattened his arms across the desk, one right over the other. He buried his chin between them, closing his eyes. Concentrating hard, he pulled the sound of Nico's voice saying his name and replayed it over and over again in his mind.
Maybe if he was lucky, Nico would do this again.
And he'd made sure that once more he was the highest bidder.

kiss and tell
angel reyes x gn!olvidado reader, 2369 words
for day 25 of whumpril: ‘we’re being watched’
a/n: this is in a world where adelita and angel never had a thing, because why not, AND who doesn’t love a fake date trope! muah (also love u élise, mi jefa)
tagging: @cositapreciosa @drabbles-mc @hausofmamadas​
Tumblr media
You shouldn’t be here. You really shouldn’t be here. Of all your dubious moral mistakes, this might just be the worst one, right? Going behind Adelita’s back, to talk to a Mayan, of all people, who’s working with Galindo? Yeah, you’ve fucked it. You’ve really missed the mark with this one.
He isn’t even a close friend, really. A friend of a friend of a friend. Someone you bickered with in high school, an Angel totally undeserving of the name. Payaso copied your answers in more exams than you can count, and now he’s after them again, begging you for info you know you shouldn’t give. Well, you assume so. The text he’d sent hadn’t been specific, but what else could he want? 
You haven’t spoken to him in years, but, fuck, you’re here, aren’t you? You agreed to his suggestion and let him pick the meeting place. You’re walking toward him now, like you couldn’t be any fucking happier to ruin your shit, any more willing to disrupt what Los Olvidados have been organising for months. God, if anyone knew about this. If Adelita knew about this.
It isn’t worth imagining. Besides, you might not tell him anything at all, right? He might ask you for something you know nothing about. There’s still a chance of that, still time for fate to stand by your side.
Angel’s leaning against the tree closest to the park’s entrance, one tall beanpole in the sea of kids and moms pushing empty prams. He doesn’t blend in by any means. He didn’t even bother to take his kutte off.
‘Hey.’ He nods as you approach, only clocking you once you’re within talking distance anyway.
‘You wanna be any more obvious, man?’ you snap over him, looking past him, then over your shoulder. ‘May as well have brought the rest of your stupid club with you.’
‘Wow, relax.’ He looks like he wants to laugh. ‘Is it that serious? S’not like you got rules against socialising and shit.’
He’s wrong, of course, because that’s exactly what you do have. Especially when it comes to socialising with Galindo affiliated groups. ‘Can we move, please?’ you ask, ignoring the remark. ‘Away from the fucking Mom’s club.’
Then he does laugh, face crumpling like you’re certifiably insane, but he does stand straight from the tree he’s on. ‘You wanna walk?’
‘Sure.’ That’s better than this, at least. You watch him shove his hands into his pocket, before gesturing with his elbow for you to lead the way. Which you do, begrudgingly, traipsing further into the park with him beside you.
‘I can’t talk for long,’ you tell him, flicking him a look. Then it’s back behind you, over your shoulder, and to the right over the grass.
‘Damn,’ he’s watching you scan the surroundings, ‘you’re way less fun than you used to be.’
‘I didn't realise we ever had fun, Angel.’
He scoffs. ‘Really? Thought we were cool.’ He throws you a smile. ‘Homies.’
‘You stuck gum to my backpack and cheated off me relentlessly,’ you answer, not bitter, but bored instead. ‘Might’ve been fun for you, but.’
‘Okay,’ he laughs, ‘so I was a shitty kid. You really gonna hold that against me?’
‘I’m here, aren’t I?’ You pass a woman jogging, flashing her a smile just to see if she’ll return it—she does. ‘Would’ve blocked your number if I was holding it against you.’
He sucks a breath in, like he’s scratched his knee or some shit, wincing with it. ‘The fuck are they feeding you at those camps? Los Olvidados got a rule about being friendly now?’
‘Yeah,’ you nod, and you hate that you’re almost laughing with it, ‘that’s actually the whole thing, dumbass. We’re not trying to make friends.’
So why are you here then? Walking through a park, birds chirping like a fucking Disney movie, with Angel of all people. You were supposed to be making this quick. You shove your hands in your pockets like he has, pulling your hoody closed over your torso. No more chitchat.
‘So,’ you say, ‘can we get to the part where you beg me for information?’
You aren’t looking at him still, but flitting around again. There’s a dude on the bench you’re walking by, reading the newspaper. He doesn’t pay any attention to either of you. Doesn’t look up as Angel’s boot throws a stone in his direction.
‘Information? Nah.’ Angel shakes his head, the movement catching in your periphery. ‘You think that’s what I’m here for?’
You shrug. ‘Well, yeah. What else would you want?’
You’re on opposite sides, really. Hired hands or not, the Mayans are working for the man you and the rest of the group have fucked over, multiple times now. All you can offer him is information he shouldn’t have. Not that you will, of course, not that you will. But you at least want to hear what he’s dumb enough to ask for.
He’s slowed to a stop, for some reason. His brows are pinched together as he looks at you. ‘Y’know, I almost feel like saying fuck it and leaving you here.’
You turn, in front of him now, and shrug again. ‘What d’you mean?’
‘I’m here to help your ass not, fucking, beg you for information.’ He looks offended, actually. Genuinely offended. ‘I mean, come on, you really think I’m that stupid?’
Maybe, but you aren’t about to admit that to him. ‘Sorry,’ you stumble, ‘I don’t know. Guess I figured you had some allegiance to the dude paying you.’
He snorts. ‘Yeah, that’s not how this shit works.’
‘Okay,’ you prompt, ‘then what is it? Why am I here?’
For the first time, he chances a look behind like he does actually care, like he’s as nervous about this as you are. Well, almost. ‘Thought you guys might want to know Galindo’s planning to go ahead with another shipment,’ he says.
‘Oh.’ Your brows go up. ‘Damn. Fuck, that’s useful.’
‘Yeah,’ his voice goes thick with sarcasm, ‘I figured.’
Your gaze slips past him, looking for the man with the newspaper again. Only, he’s not there now, and has been replaced by another man, sitting with his arm over the back of the bench. He’s slouching, knees wide. Dressed in nothing but jeans and a garish shirt—which is weird, because it’s a cloudy day. Cold enough that you and Angel are both wearing two layers at least.
‘But why?’ You flick back to Angel. ‘Like, why help us?’
There’s something familiar about the man, about his very fucking familiar face. You can’t shake it. You can’t even focus on what Angel’s given you, the opportunity of another shipment to disrupt.
Angel sighs, oblivious to the mental file-o-fax you’re pawing through. ‘I know you think I’m a dick,’ he says, ‘but I do actually, y’know, care. About this shit.’ He gestures between the two of you. ‘The rebel shit, I’m with it.’ He pauses, you still aren’t paying attention. ‘And I fucking hate Galindo,’ he adds, souring. ‘Uptight fuck.’
You look back to the bench. He’s scanning the park now, in a very non-casual, casual way. Like you were—like you are. He skims past you quickly, pretending he hasn’t just made fleeting eye contact with you, and then it clicks. Finally. Fuck. It’s not just some dude, it’s Tiago, one of the many meatheads in Galindo’s cartel. You’ve seen his face a million times, in black and white, pinned to the boards at camp. You recognise it now, because it’s obvious. Scar through his eyebrow, thick moustache, ugly fucking shirts.
He isn’t relaxing in the park, enjoying the breeze, he’s waiting for you, watching. He’s holding out on you spilling secrets you shouldn’t—or maybe it’s not that at all. Maybe he’s watching Angel instead, keeping track of Galindo’s assets. They’re trying to avoid another incident like the last, looking for the leak in the in the seal, the rat amongst the dogs. And Angel’s clueless to it, standing and waiting for your reply. His face clear as day for Tiago to watch.
‘Kiss me,’ you say, blurting it as quickly as you can.
‘Wha—why?’ Angel frowns, lips pulling down at the corners. ‘Kiss you?’
‘We’re being watched.’ You step forward. ‘Kiss me.’
He’s taking too long to process it. You can feel Tiago staring now, attempting to read your lips. The longer Angel stands there looking lost, the longer Tiago has to profile you, to paint you as a notable figure. To pin blame to the badges on Angel’s kutte.
You pull him in by the back of his neck, before any more damage can be done. Hide his face with your own, make this look like a date, a walk in the park between one Mayan and his crush. He doesn’t kiss you back, of course, it’s stationary lips against stationary lips. Is it convincing? You’ve no idea. You can’t pull back to check yet, not without making it look suspicious and desperately false.
He says your name, or tries to, against your mouth. When you don’t break away to let him say it properly, there’s a moment of pause, just a breath, and then he’s kissing you like he means it. His hands come up to your waist, his lips part. You turn, pulling him with you, until you’re angled away from Tiago, Angel’s back a firm wall in his vision. He’s either cottoned on, at last, and is trying to make this look like a real thing to avoid suspicion, or his testosterone has kicked in and accepted a kiss for a kiss. His body reacting the way it normally would.
For a second you enjoy it. But that’s beside the point.
‘Okay,’ you pull back, hands to his chest, and look over his shoulder, ‘I think that…’
Tiago’s turned away again, scrubbing a hand over his moustache and looking as awkward as anyone would after watching two people kiss.
‘The fuck was that about?’ Angel asks, out of breath but unable to shift the smugness from his face. ‘Who’s watching us?’
‘Fucking Galindo,’ you mutter, ignoring the slight thrum in your chest.
‘He’s here?’ He attempts to look behind, but you catch him before he can, hand to his cheek.
‘Don’t fucking do that.’ You drop it again, fidgeting back behind the shape of him. ‘You can’t look, but it’s Tiago.’
His brows flex together; he’s wondering how you know who he is, how you’re using the guy’s first name like you’re familiar, but now isn’t the time to go into it. Really, you know more about Galindo’s crew than he ever will. There’s no cap on information for you, it’s find out all you can, everything you can. For him, it’s only what Galindo allows them to know. The bare minimum to get them to do what he needs.
‘He probably thinks you’re the rat,’ you say, continuing when he laughs, an I am the rat, expression on his face. ‘It’s better he thinks this is a date. For you, I mean.’
The smirk isn’t shifting. He’s staring down at you like you’ve actually asked him out. ‘So you’re helping me now?’ he says. ‘Saving my ass from Galindo?’
‘Yes,’ you snap, ‘and the desire to keep doing it is running thin.’
‘Alright, God.’ Still smiling. He’s still smiling. ‘Tell me what to do then, Olvidado.’
You have half the mind to leave, abandon him like that kiss was the farewell, and let Tiago track him alone. Follow his stupid bike around town until he finds some other way to incriminate him. But you need him, actually. You genuinely fucking need him and what he has to say. Another shipment would give you another chance to dent Galindo’s organisation, to strip more money, and more power, from him, in the most frustrating way possible. It’s an opportunity too good to miss.
‘You see that café ?’ you ask, knowing it’s in his eye-line, over your head. ‘We’re gonna go there, like we’re on a nice fucking date, and you’re gonna tell me what you came to tell me.’
‘Alright.’
‘So,’ you gesture toward him, ‘make it look like you actually like me, or something.’
He rolls his eyes, head tilting with it, and you almost reach to snap it back down again, but then he gets it together. He takes your hand, the right one, bringing it up as he steps around to lay the same arm over your shoulder. It’s more than he needed to do, putting you by his side, with your joined hands sitting against your collarbone, but you can hardly complain about it now. Tiago could be watching still—you look, eyes over Angel’s forearm—he is still watching. Leaning forward on his knees now, like he’s deciding whether to follow or not.
‘You’re gonna have to be careful,’ you say, facing front again. ‘They clearly suspect you.’
He shakes his head. ‘Flaco’s paranoid, probably thinks all of us are out here spilling his secrets.’
‘Fine, be like that. But it’ll get you fucking killed, Angel.’
‘Says the rebel trying to take him down.’
He has you there, but the difference is Galindo, Tiago, doesn’t know you yet. Doesn’t even realise that you’re anyone worth knowing. Thankfully, hopefully, your quick thinking has planted ‘love interest’ across your face, and ‘dead end’ over Angel’s. There’s nothing innately suspicious about two people going for coffee, no matter how Tiago swings it.
‘Let’s just get this over with,’ you tell him, increasing your speed and pulling Angel along with you. ‘Before one of us ends up in the gutter.’
Angel laughs, nodding.
‘What?’
‘Nothing,’ he shrugs over you, ‘just that this is the weirdest fucking date of my life.’
‘It’s not a date.’
‘Fake date,’ he corrects. ‘Weirdest fake date of my life.’
‘And last one, too,’ you add, because if he ever texts you to meet up again, you’ll be leaving him on read. Information or not, it isn’t worth the hassle, he isn’t worth the hassle. You’d rather struggle to gather information for yourself, than go down with the Angel Reyes, traitor to Galindo, disaster of a ship.

When I was a teenager- somewhere between 14 and 16, I was talking to a friend about homework, and I complained about how hard it was to focus on homework, or to do it even when I wanted to, and how did the teachers expect us to be able to do homework when it was so hard?
My friend didn't really understand what I was talking about. "I can sit and focus on it if I want to, but it is pretty boring" was the gist of what they said.
I blinked. That didn't seem like my experience of things, at all. "Yeah, I mean, tests are pretty boring but they're easy- but homework? You can focus on that?" I asked.
I was good at tests. For the most part, minus math, where the numbers just make my head hurt.
"I mean, tests are boring too, yeah, but homework isn't any harder."
And I was baffled. As I do with a lot of things, I went to other friends and asked. Some, like my best friend at the time who remains one of my closest friends now, had similar problems to me. It wasn't quite exact. They didn't get the creeping, dark pit of dread every time that homework gave me, but it was similar enough, and did say it wasn't hard when they could actually remember to do it.
But they were the only one who experienced the phenomenon of homework the way I did.
As with most things like this, I began to ask myself what was wrong with me. My parents called me lazy about it, I sometimes would cry in my room because even though I wanted to try it felt like an insurmountable wall and I couldn't. My blue carpet scratched at my elbows because I was afraid if I would cry on the bed my parents would hear it creaking as I sobbed. (My dad and grandpa had once told me crying was for the weak. That's another story, though)
So. I looked it up, online on the home computer in our computer room. And increasingly, the one thing I found that fit what I was feeling- and seemed to explain other parts of my life I hadn't ever considered to be problems.
ADHD, though back then it was broken into ADD and ADHD.
And so I begged my parents to let me get tested. My dad thought it was bullshit, but told me "I'll pay for it, your mom will take you."
They found a specialized a few towns over. We went. The moment I walked in the lady, tall and thin like a reed, looked down her nose at me and I had the feeling she was one of those doctors. One of the ones who hates when a patient self diagnosis, one of the ones who thinks their word is law.
I knew I couldn't tell this lady that I was sure I had ADD or ADHD. I had to let her make the decision. And so I acted out of my ass about it.
"Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me, it's so hard to focus- I never seem able to do anything, can you help me doctor, oh please"
and I put on my saddest, wettest face. It probably helps that I have the face of a literal baby and my eyes are huge.
"Well! You've come to the right place, I am an expert!" She said in that sort of voice that hid a sneer. The sort that let me knew I'd been right all along about her.
We did tests. We did an assessment. At one point she hooked my brain up with little electrode pads to a monitor that showed my brain activity like waves on a heart monitor.
Every ten minutes my brain flatlined, and every ten minutes I would get distracted by the mountains becoming a loud angry plain. I can't even remember the inane tasks I was doing now. Something with blocks? And some sort of book?
And all tests came back positive. I had ADHD- and my attention span was sadly only ten minutes. I tried not to be smug that I had been right, my mother seemed surprise I had.
I failed at not being smug on the way home. BUt that was alright, I had a reason I wasn't like everyone else. A reason homework was hard, a reason focusing was hard, a reason everything was-
It didn't stop my parents calling me lazy, and the medications repeatedly made me sick so I stopped taking them. (Maybe, someday, I could try again, but that day is not now and I am a grown ass adult who has some coping mechanisms)
The dread I got when doing homework, and the way my heart raced?
Yeah anyways turns out that part was a general anxiety disorder. Got hit Twice Baby

hi are u still taking prompts from that list🥺 maybe number 13 for bratpack if u feel up to it ?? lots of protective gia&kenny and their angel synthia ❤️
I’m sorry since u didn’t specify if there was a specific au or anything I did a part of the little childhood friends to lovers type au that we talk about sometimes bc I just needed to write them as sweet besties 😭😔 i had to <3
13. "You're safe, I promise."
——
Synthia excitedly bounced on her heels as she watched out the window, waiting for Gia and Kendall to arrive. Finally 10, her mom had agreed to let her go trick or treating alone with her friends, her flip phone charged and in her bag just in case.
“Synthie,” her mom called, walking in the room, taking in her precious daughter in her white angel costume, “oh, don’t you look precious. Are you absolutely sure you want to go without me? I trust Gia and Kendall very much, but if you want me to still take you guys, I can. You don’t have to grow up so fast.”
“Mom,” Synthia groaned, “we’ll be fine! You promised we could go this year!”
Ms. Kiss sighed, tucking a strand white blond hair behind her daughter’s ear. “I know, honey, I just don’t want you to feel like you have to if you’re not ready.”
“I’m ready. We’ll stay together, I have my phone and Kendall has one too.”
“Okay, baby, you know how to get ahold of me if you need to, it looks like your little friends are here,” she replied, gesturing at them walking up the driveway.
Synthia shrieked with excitement, hugging her mom before bidding her a goodbye and running out the door. Ms. Kiss shook her head affectionately and watched them walk down the driveway until they were out of sight.
Walking with their arms linked, Synthia babbled on and on about how excited she was that they finally got to go trick or treating without her mom, even though Gia and Kendall’s parents had been letting them go alone for two years now. Synthia was somewhat of a late bloomer and being an only child to a single mother didn’t help.
They made it through most of the night without any incident, until it was half an hour before Synthia was due home and a house on the end of the block had set up a huge haunted maze in the front yard, letting trick or treaters go through to get their candy.
“You guys! We have to go though, it’ll be so much fun,” Synthia begged, yanking them toward the maze.
Kendall and Gia shared a look, even at such a young age, they were protective of Synthia and hated more than anything to see her upset. Gia had been through haunted houses like that before and Kendall was always watching horror movies with her older sister, but Synthia was a different story. Most of the time it seemed as if the wind blowing scared the poor girl.
“Synth, are you sure we should? It might be pretty scary,” Kendall tried to reason, uncertainty in her voice.
Gia nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it looks really scary.”
“Oh come on guys! Don’t chicken out!”
Neither wanted to hurt her feelings and admit they were reluctant to go in because of her, so they agreed, linking their arms together and going in with her.
They walked through the cracked archway, walking into a darkened cooridor, the sound of creaking and chains rattling following them. Each step made nerves gnaw in Kendall and Gia’s stomachs, constantly looking over at Synthia to check on her. She still seemed to have a smile on her face, even with lights flashing and a brief jump scare.
Relieved they were almost at the end, that quickly changed. Someone dressed in an all too realistic costume, jumped out from behind a wall and screamed in their faces. Glowing eyes and a terrifying scream had even Gia and Kendall jumping back. Though, Synthia was another story, her skin pale frozen in place, hands shaking as she tried to stifle her tears.
“Synthia,” Kendall cooed, trying to get her to snap out of it, tugging on her arm but she stayed still, shaking like a leaf.
“Gi, what do we do?” Kendall whispered, “she’s like stunned or something!”
They could hear screams ahead of them, signalling there were more scares ahead. “Grab her arm,” Gia instructed, taking her other.
“Listen up, fuckers, if anyone else jumps out at us, I swear to god,” Gia screamed down the corridor as they motioned for Kendall to walk her along.
Synthia was now crying, fingers tightening on Gia and Kendall’s wrists as they took baby steps to get her out and Gia continued to threaten anyone that came near them.
Finally, they made it out and Synthia crumbled against them.
“I-I’m s-scared,” Synthia managed to get out between sobs, “I-I want m-my mom.”
“Kendall is gonna call her, can you take deep breaths with me,” Gia coached her gently, their usual loud voice somehow soft.
Gia had no idea what they were doing but they remembered their teacher telling them about breathing exercises to use when they were angry and they only hoped they’d work for someone who was scared.
Synthia took breaths alongside Gia until it worked, calming her down enough to just be sniffling weakly against Gia while Kendall rubbed her back.
“You’re safe, we promise,” Kendall assured her, not letting go of her until her mother’s minivan was pulling up in front of the house they were at. Even then, they both walked her over the van and held her hand once they were all buckled in.
“I’m sorry,” Synthia mumbled as they pulled up her driveway, “I ruined Halloween because I’m such a baby.”
Her mother opened her mouth to speak, but she stopped herself as she heard little whispers coming from behind her.
“You’re not a baby, that was really scary. I was scared too,” Gia said.
“Yeah, me too, and you didn’t even scream, you’re so brave, Synth,” Kendall added.
Synthia giggled. “Really? You think I’m brave?”
In unison, they both agreed, sincerity behind every word.
Synthia’s mom smiled to herself, thanking the universe that her sweet daughter had some of the best friends in the world. Though, as she watched in the rearview, Kendall and Gia laying kisses on each of Synthia’s cheeks, she wondered if someday they’d be more than just the best friends in the world.

Looooong personal post warning :)
My parents divorced when I was 6. My mom was seeing one of my dads coworkers and as soon as she moved out she moved in with him. They weren’t supposed to live together by court order until the divorce was finalized (my dad and stepdad were in the military) so when my brother and I went to visit my mom they told us we couldn’t tell my dad that my stepdad (at the time future stepdad) was there or my dad would make my mom would go to jail and we’d never see her again. Narratives like this continued and my dad ended up moving states when I was 8 to be closer to his family to help raise my brother and I. It was a bit chaotic; we lived with my grandparents for a few months and had to find a new house and a new school. I didn’t see my mom for about 6 months. When my dad decided to go back to let us visit, we talked to my mom on the phone. My stepdad told us we were ungrateful, horrible kids for not knowing my moms cell phone number and calling my mom more during this time. I was 8, my brother was 4. When we saw them again, my stepdad put me on a bed and screamed at me for over an hour, while I sobbed and begged to be let go, until I could recite her cell number back. Things never got better. Over the years, any thing that he saw as an offense meant he would absolutely ream us verbally. If we sent a birthday card that didn’t arrive on time, we were “ungrateful spoiled little bitches who didn’t care about anyone else in the world”, if we slept in too late when we visited we were “the laziest motherfuckers in the world and would never amount to shit.” When I was 13, I was overweight and he screamed at me for ten minutes to “just stop fucking eating.” I ended up struggling with an eating disorder for years. I spent my highschool years begging God to save me, to send someone to save me from it. I was so scared everyday that I would fuck up and he would call to destroy me verbally and the next time I saw them I’d get it again in person. This has been 20 years of my life. The verbal assaults weren’t just limited to my brother and I; my mom and half brother have been victims too. Last October he raised his fist towards my brother during a fight. A few weeks ago he called my mom a “disgusting, spoiled, pampered bitch.” It is completely impossible to convey the wrath and fear that his fits create. When he isn’t angry he is okay to be around; but when he gets angry, it’s over. My mom has been talking about leaving him this year after each fight, but she won’t. She doesn’t care about how he’s treated my brothers and I. I finally realized God wasn’t going to send anyone to help me. Praying helped no one except my stepdad. So I told her I was done and I wouldn’t be coming to see them anymore. She can come visit us by herself if she wants. Im blocking his number. I used to be so afraid to say or do anything like that. I thought I would have to kill myself to escape it. But it turns out the person I was so desperate for all along was me. I wish I could go back and do it earlier. I wish 13 year old me, 18 year old me had the courage to stand up for herself. But at least 27 year old me did it. And I hope 13 year old me and 18 year old me and 25 year old me are cheering.

So my dad left before I was born. Apparently the second my mom told him she was pregnant with me, he just ran off.
Anyway to this day I am wondering… what if he’s still out there? What if he found another woman and had another child?
What I am saying is that, imagine if I suddenly bump into someone who almost looks like me, is also from Italy and then turns out to be my half-sibling or something.

That reminds me, when I was smaller I randomly got the feeling I had an older brother or something. But I feel like it was just an ”only child wishing they had siblings” thing.

Did anyone elses’ guardian give them ”the talk” by using flower metaphors? I’m trying to figure out how (not) normal my childhood was, and if anyone else can never see daisys the same way ever again.
🌟 supernova-number-one Follow
Mine did not give me any. Rather she just expected me to know. I got to learn by reading and hearing girls talk in school.
Also when I got my period and told her, she sighed and scolded me for being so ”late” 🤨 (I was 13 how is that late)
💍 queenoftherink Follow
Haha. Uh.
So I got the talk when I was 12. Age I got my period? 11.
Did not know what it was. Thought I did something wrong. Refused to tell her because ”she would never understand and probably scold me for not being careful” or something.
She found out on her own, probably because she noticed a stain somewhere, and I was almost crying, begging her to not be mad and she was like ”😐 I knew this would happen, so I don’t see a reason to be mad. I just didn’t know it would happen so soon 😐”. She then gave me pads and told me to use them whenever this happened. She also gave me a small smile and stroked my hair slowly. Then she said ”I should have known you were an early bloomer… 🙂”
I had no idea what that meant until a YEAR later when when she finally gave me the talk. And then it was all in metaphors of flowers.

So like. I dream about the future and stuff.
I dreamed that I was pregnant.
And like. That may happen at some point. In the future. But my dreams that predict the future are often stuff that happens basically the next day.
Not that it… would make sense for me to be pregnant right now…
Or, well…
I’m buying a test.

I usually joke about myself being the most distracted person in the world, but at times it feels like everyone looks down on me for it. I know that is not the case, but sometimes I feel like it.
Because I am like that, I easily forget stuff, and having to have people remind me, it sometimes feels like people don’t take me as seriously? Like they see me more as a child than someone their age. I mean, sometimes I feel like my friends act like I am their baby sister just tagging along and ”not knowing as much”. And I know they don’t actually see me like that. I know that’s just how I feel. But… ugh. I wish I could concentrate more on things, I wish I could not forget stuff so easily. I wish I could keep my mind focused on what people want me to focus on, and yet my brain does not let me.
I wish I didn’t feel like I somehow missed a manual on how you’re supposed to act in life. Why does everyone know how to behave in social situations except for me?
🏳️‍🌈 creyendoenmi Follow
Hey Luna? I know you tagged this with ”may delete later” and all that, but I need to assure you, yes, that is only in your head about us seeing you as ”someone younger who does not know as much”. We do not see you like that!
In all honestly… we’re all on the same page when it comes to ”maturity” I would say. Trust me when I say, I can be very distracted too. You just have not seen it yet, but trust me.
I guess I can sort of relate to ”not knowing how to act in social situations”, but I guess when there’s more of us, we act in our own way that we then percieve as ”normal” but then we meet someone else who never would act that way.
Anyway, we love you Luna, and you’re not alone with thoughts like this 💜
✌🏼 arodarmivida Follow
Luna I need you to know, if you ever feel ”childish”, just know I am way more childish than you.
Seriously, I’ve been in situations where I go out of them feeling like I acted like a toddler and everyone else was so mature and cool in comparison.
You should just KNOW about all the antics I’ve had that you haven’t witnessed. If there is someone who does not know how to act in social situations it’s me.
🎸 beanie-guitarist Follow
Luna sometimes I’ve felt like I am younger than YOU. Seriously. I don’t know how anyone has ever seen me as mature 🤣
And I may joke that you’re distracted, but I never look down on you for it 🩵 Because you’re also at the same time very focused on what you want, when you get an idea there is no stopping you! And I admire that so much about you 💖
🛼 rollerskatingonthemoon Follow
Oh my gosh, guys… I really was about to go delete my vent post because I made it under such a spontaneous rush and then it felt weird to just write all of that.
But I feel really happy by your messages, and that I am not alone 😅 💕💕
I still wish I wasn’t distracted in the way I am, though.
🛼 rollerskatingonthemoon Follow
HELP, it’s so wild finding this post now like 4 years later?
I’m happy I never feel that insecure about why I can be so distracted and all over the place anymore. Because I did look into it and I did get an explanation 👏🏼 And honestly I really should have done that earlier because 😅😅 there was some CLEAR signs.
But it did feel validating hearing people had similar thoughts as me, especially about feeling like you’re more ”childish” than what society expects you to be.

People are asking why my ”childhood rival” is my childhood rival and if we are still rivals:
Basically I was born 2 days before her and, while I of course do not remember this, I have been told we met the first time in the hospital when I came for my 48 hour checkup. I really imagine newborn me seeing her screaming her lungs out after just being born and thinking ”what a drama queen”.
Idk, we just provoked each other by existing. There is a picture of us on a playdate when we were around 9 months old, and I chew on her arm. I guess the adults thought this was cute and that we played, but I am sure that I was attacking her.
From the memories I do have, we have had epic fights like on the christmas party where we caused a mayhem, we fell down from a tree together during a wrestle game, we poked and teased each other so much at school that an assigned teacher had to be a guard at recess so that we would not interact… and then there was all the things that happened when we were teens…
Is she still my rival? Yeah. But I guess it’s ”playful teasing” now more than actively hating her.
If I hated her, I’d ignore her. And we have never been able to ignore each other.

A New Family
Robin sighed. She was buttoning up her dress and going through all of the possible ways she could reply to snarky remarks without making a scene. Leorio was sitting on his and Robin’s bed, reassuring her that everything would be alright.
“I know you hate your family, but won’t it be cool to prove them wrong?” Leorio asked. “They didn’t believe that you could get a boyfriend if you continued shifting gender so much, but you did anyway! Maybe they’ll be less…”
“Dickish?” Robin finished. “And even if I prove them wrong, I don’t think they’ll stop making fun of me. They didn’t want me to get a boyfriend, they wanted me to conform to their standards. I don’t know why you wanted to arrange dinner with them so badly.” Another sigh, and Robin dropped her hands down. “I finished getting dressed. Let’s go, so that we can get out of there quicker.”
Leorio gave a little chuckle. “Alright, alright. I’m sure they won’t mind if we come a little early.” He stood up, grabbing Robin’s arm and walking with her to their car. Once he got it started, and him and Robin buckled up, he started driving to Robin’s childhood home.
“Your leg is bouncing more than usual,” Leorio said to Robin. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl grab her leg and hold it down. “Look, I know facing your family is hard, but if they say anything that cuts too deep, I’ll stand up for you, alright?”
“We can always turn back, you know,” Robin said, in hopes of changing the subject. “The only thing that’ll happen is that I’ll have to block my mom’s number for a few days, then tell the police that I’m okay once she calls them.”
“And probably beg for them to make up a believable story for your mom so she doesn’t know you were just ignoring her.”
“Actually, what if you drop me off here, and I go take a taxi back home? That way you can tell my parents I’ve been kidnapped, and we can postpone the dinner. Maybe indefinitely.”
Leorio laughed. “It’s convincing, but I’ll have to pass. You’ll do great, I promise.”
Robin groaned, but said nothing else the entire car ride. After a few minutes that felt like hours to Robin, the two arrived at their destination.
“Remember, deep breaths,” Leorio told Robin as he unbuckled. “Stress can lead to a stomachache, and your mom can make some killer beef stew.”
Robin let out a stifled laugh. “I am excited to eat her cooking again.”
The two walked up to the door, arms looped together, and Leorio rang the doorbell.
Upon hearing her mother’s voice come from the other side of the door, Robin had a chill go down her spine. Deep breaths, she repeated in her head. When she heard the door being unlocked, she put on a big smile.
“Oh, Robin, Leorio!” Robin’s mother, Tashachel, chimed. “It’s so good to see you two, especially your female half, Robin!”
“Hi, Mom,” Robin managed to say through gritted teeth.
“Good evening, Mrs. Morwell.” Leorio unlinked Robin’s arm to squeeze her hand. “May we come in?”
“Of course!” Tashachel said. She sidestepped out of the doorway to let the couple in, then added, “Honestly, I’m just so glad my baby girl didn’t come in a suit and tie.”
Leorio squeezed Robin’s hand again before letting go to take off his shoes. He heard Robin give a halfhearted laugh, so he decided to do the same. “Oh, something smells really good in here,” he said, changing the subject.
“It’s a casserole, one of Robin’s favorites!” Tashachel said. From the kitchen, a beep was heard. “And you’re in luck,” she continued, “because it just got done!”
For the first time since yesterday, Robin’s face lit up. She extended her arm, grabbing the edge of the counter closest to the stove, then shrunk it back to regular size, letting her socks slide on the floor and claiming her spot as first in line for food.
“Hey, no fair!” Robin’s little brother shouted. “Mama said she doesn’t like you using your Nen for personal reasons!”
“It’s okay this time,” Tashachel laughed. “After all, she didn’t use it to shapeshift into a man.”
Robin held back the urge to roll her eyes, cutting out a piece of casserole and sitting at the table. Soon after, everyone else took a seat, and started eating.
“So, I hear you and Leorio have been living together for the past few months?” Robin’s father asked. He looked at Leorio as if he was trying to shoot lasers out of his eyes.
“Well, it’s a lot cheaper that way, you know,” Robin quickly said. “It’s not like we sleep in the same bed, you know.”
“But we-” Leorio started, and it was Robin’s turn to try shooting lasers out of her eyes. He quickly cleared his throat. “But we have been trying to cut expenses in other ways, as well,” he said. “Like, we make sure to live off of cheap foods instead of expensive ones.” Robin’s laser eyes went away, and so did her father’s.
“Ah, yes, I remember my early college days, too,” Tashachel sighed. “That was how I learned to diet on a budget. Sometimes the only thing I would eat all day was a carrot!”
Both Leorio and Robin gave nervous laughs.
“Oh, but of course you two aren’t in the same bed!” Tashachel said. “After all, I’m sure Leorio gets repulsed simply thinking about sleeping with that male half of yours, Robin!”
“No, no, that’s not it at all.” Leorio attempted a smile while waving his hand dismissively. “We’re waiting for marriage, of course. Speaking of-”
“Do you really need to insult my boy form every chance you can get?” Robin mumbled.
“What was that, honey?” Tashachel asked.
“I mean, seriously,” Robin continued, a little louder, “I’m presenting as a woman specifically so that I avoid any conflict dealing with it, and you continue to bring it up?”
“Oh, Robin, you’re overreacting,” Tashachel laughed. “I’m just looking out for you. You know I only want your happiness.”
“I am happy!” Robin yelled. “I’m happy when I decide to present the way I want! I’m happy that I found someone who loves me, no matter what gender I am at the moment! I’m happy that I get to live how I please when you’re not around! In fact, I think I’d be happier knowing that our ties were broken!” And with that, she left the rest of the casserole on her plate and started putting on her shoes.
“W… wait, Robin, what does that mean?” Tashachel asked.
“It means that I’m not a Morwell anymore,” Robin said, much calmer than she was moments ago. “I’m not your daughter, nor your son, nor your child. I’m not attached to this family anymore.”
“Robin!” Tashachel exclaimed. “You’re not actually disowning us, are you? Robin!”
“I’ll be waiting in the car, Leorio,” Robin said, then closed the door behind him.
The Morwells looked over to Leorio, who closed his eyes and rested his chin on his hands. “You know, I’ve always had to keep up appearances in front of you, but now that Robin’s free from you, I can finally speak my mind.” He took an exaggerated inhale, and a vein was suddenly visible on the side of his head. “You two are the worst parents I’ve ever met! How can you possibly see your child happy and try to shut that happiness down just because they’re not happy the way you want them to be?! You’re lucky Robin’s all grown up, because I would’ve called CPS on you if we’d met any earlier! You’re both abusive, manipulative assholes who will probably never change, no matter how much we spell it out for you!” After his outburst, he went to put on his shoes, as well. “And for the record, Robin and I have slept in the same bed!”
Once Leorio left the house, making sure to slam the door as hard as he could, he calmed himself down, making sure that Robin wasn’t the one doing the comforting. He looked inside the front window of the car, and could see Robin crying. He entered the driver’s seat, not saying a word.
“I did it,” Robin sniffled. “I actually did it.”
Leorio started the car.
“But what if that wasn’t the right choice?”
He started to back out of the driveway.
“I mean, if I think about it, my parents always made sure that I was fed and clothed and cared for. Even if their beliefs are a little outdated, maybe I was a little harsh.”
He drove out of the neighborhood, keeping careful watch over signs.
Robin took a choked breath. “This isn’t the way home.”
“That’s right,” Leorio finally spoke.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Robin said, although her voice was really nasally.
“Because I’m taking us to a good place to talk.”
“Mkay,” Robin sniffled, and continued to cry.
After a few minutes, Leorio stopped the car at a beach. “Come on, let’s destress in the sand.”
Robin nodded, getting out of the car. However, as soon as she walked to the front, Leorio came up to hug her as tightly as he could. “I love you,” he whispered in Robin’s ear. “I love you so much, and I’m so proud of you for the choice you made tonight. Personally, I think you made the right choice, but if you need me to, I’ll drive us right back over and you can make amends right now.”
“No, no, I don’t need that,” Robin laughed, her tears starting to fade. “I think I made the right choice, too. I love you, too.”
The two stayed that way for a little while, until Leorio exclaimed, “Oh! Right! There’s… another reason why I wanted to bring you out here, actually.” He let go of Robin, fumbling around his pockets. “You see, um, the… the reason that I arranged that dinner was to, um, get special permission for something. But, uh, that ended up being irrelevant, because of, well, you know.”
Robin watched as Leorio stopped hastily checking all of his pockets, keeping one of his hands in the back pocket.
“You know… I… I noticed that you don’t, uh, have a last name anymore. Is there anything you want to change it to in particular?”
“Leorio…” Robin whispered. She could feel tears starting to form in her eyes again.
“Like, uh, maybe Paladiknight?”
“Leorio, are you really doing this?” Robin asked. She covered her mouth with her hands.
“Look, what I’m trying to ask is… well…” he got down on one knee, finally pulling out a velvety box with a ring on the top of it. “Will you marry me?”
“Yes!” Robin yelled as soon as Leorio finished his sentence. “Yes, yes, yes, I will!” Without thinking, she tackled Leorio to the ground, hugging him tighter than a few moments before and planting kisses on his face.
“Robin, are you okay?” Leorio asked. “You’re crying again.”
“Of course I’m crying!” Robin laughed. “I’m happy crying because there’s nowhere else for my emotions to go but my tears.”
The two layed down in the sand for a little while longer, until Leorio said, “Can we get up so I can put the ring on you?”
“Yeah, we can do that,” Robin said, voice still wavering. They got up, and Leorio slipped the ring on Robin’s finger. The two shared one more kiss before going back to the car, and even then, Leorio had to focus his whole mind on the road, or he would glance too long at his sleeping fianceè. Fianceè. It was hard to wrap his head around using that word to describe Robin, so he opted not to while he was responsible for getting them home safely.
“You’re safe now,” Leorio whispered to Robin. “You can be true to yourself. I’ll still love you. I’ll love you ‘till the end of time.”
The two made it back home, and Robin was still asleep. Leorio got out of the car, then lifted Robin out of her seat, carrying her to their bed. She was sandy, her eyes were puffy, and her dress was in need of some touch-ups, but seeing her like this only compelled him to repeat the phrase:
“‘Till the end of time.”

I got my period-- like really got my period. now i know why my stomach hurt. My supervisor was pissy with me today. i am sure it was because i called out. i have sick time so i dont see what the big deal is. i wasn't feeling well. as much as i like him that is just the way he is. i did not go running today- i ran yesterday an my plan is to go tomorrow. my Mom is texting me how she is lonely and needs me.. she loves me so much but cant be kind to me. she said she is going to need an exe for her will.. she already told me she wasnt going to have her loser daughter ( me) do it. i dont really give a fuck anymore- it is what it is and im just fucking done. she conveniently forgets everything she has ever said to me- just like x- i never said that.. i am the crazy one
So i feel kind of guilty for not going ot the park--- it was all i thought about at work.. when im finished and can breath again- i want to do it again.. i am tired and i went yesterday and i'll go tmw.. and maybe the trick for the weekend is to get there early. And i blocked that creep and he messaged me- so i blocked his number.. and i beg God to please send me a good man.. and i know the dating apps are no good for my mental health and i know i will have to delete them. and i know i know nothing-- i still worry about my future- i am trying my best and that is all i can do-- i'll just keep doing that until i cant anymore-

Tumblr media
"Hi mom"
"Y/n, where is my food, bring it to me righht now or I'll throw you out for the night for being useless" you heard your mom's voice from the kitchen and hurried, you burned your hand because you were so scared, she was on some drugs again and you had no idea how to deal with her when she was like this, you did everything she asked so you won't be beaten up. You served the dinner you made and took it to her "mom here it is, please eat" you placed the plate in front of her and she took the first bite, chicken and rice, that's all she had in the fridge so you didn't have much option. You hoped this would be enough for her but it wasn't.
She spat the food out of her mouth as soon as she took the first bite, she threw the plate right next to you, it almost hit your head and then slapped you so hard, you fell down "mom I'm sorry I'll make it again pleaseee" You cried, you were so scared of her, you were just nine at the time, you did whatever you could have "You call this a meal? I do so much for you and this is how you show appreciation you ungrateful bitch?" She grabbed your arms and started to drag you on the floor "Mom please mom I'll make another, ill make it good I promise please mom" you begged to her to not throw you out of the trailer, but she didn't listen, so you slept outside all night. She ordered pizza for herself but didn't give you any, you slept outside hungry and cold, waiting for her to open the door.
You snapped out of the the flashback of memories you have worked all these years to forget, you compartmentalized so efficiently that you almost forgot how your life was like with her before she abandoned you completely but now that she's here, her face reminds you of it all, you can't believe your eyes, she's here, after all these years she's here, why?
"Oh my sweet y/n , look at you, what a fine young woman you have become" she tried to hug you but you stepped two steps backwards "how did you find me?" When you ran back from the foster care, the only person who knew about your whereabouts was your best friend shauna, and it's not like your mom would have cared anyways, she abandoned you "Why does it matter my child? I know I have disappointed you as a mother but I want to fix it now" she tears up at that but that's not enough for you, she can't just barge in like this or get to decide when she can be your mom "Just go mom, I'm working and you're wasting my time" you turned around and ran, you ignored her voice as she called and ran till you reached the stock room, you were about to have a panic attack, you shoved all these emotions down for all those years and all of a sudden seeing her has brought them back, the beatings, the verbal abuse, everything. Your mind felt so blank and your legs felt wobbly, your surroundings started to appear very dark and you felt like you won't be able to breathe for long, You needed comfort, you needed safety, you needed him.
You dialed Loki's number on your phone and he picked it up very quickly "Princess I was just going to call you, on my way, have lunch with me?" He smiled, he knew you'd have to be on your break sooner or later, so he wanted to spend some time with you, this case has kept both of you so stressed "Lo..." You sniffed as you said his name, he froze almost instantly, he knows that voice and he hates hearing it especially when he's not with you, you're hurt, something is wrong "Princess I'll be there in two minutes, just stay where you are, are you safe my love?" He asked you softly and you mumbled, he was thankful he was right outside your store "yesh..I'm in stock room, please need you lo" you cried and it absolutely broke his heart, who hurt you like this? If it's Carla he would kill her today, fuck the case, but she can't be there, they won't let her enter inside. He parked the car and ran inside the store and towards the stock room.
"I'm almost there my love" he assured you, he was so scared, worried and angry at the same time, when he reached there, he saw you crouched in the corner, you were on the floor with your feet folded up and your head between them, he could hear you sniffing and crying "Princess" he ran towards you and you raised your head up, the look on your face hurt him so bad, who hurt his princess like that? You raised your arms up like a child so he could lift you and he pulled you up instantly, you put your head down on his shoulder and he wrapped your legs around him, he needed you to feel safe, whatever was bothering you he will find it out later, but he needs to calm you down first. You were shaking and he needed to relax you.
"I'm here love, calm down sweetheart, you're safe I promise, im here, I'm here" he whispered softly hoping you'd listen to him, he couldn't take the sound of your cries, it absolutely shattered him deeply, he caressed your head with one hand while other one rubbed your back in a soothing manner, he was there, you were safe, he won't let you get hurt, you would never be alone, or left out in the cold, hungry and shivering, he won't let you feel that way again. You kept your head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, and it calmed you down a little bit. He continued to caress you and spoke soft assuring words as he rocked you side to side slowly. He felt you relaxing in his arms and it relieved him but only a bit, he needed to know what made you so upset that you had a panic attack like this, you haven't had one before atleast not in front of him.
"Y/n, my love, what's wrong? You want to tell me please?" He asked softly and you lift your head up to look at him "I'm sorry lo, I panicked" you were apologising to him for this? You're so strong and brave all the time that sometimes he forget that you have had such an awful life, something must have triggered you "my mom..she is..my mom was here, I don't know why, why is she here lo, why did she find me again..I saw her, she's here" you didn't want to cry again but you couldn't stop the sobs from coming in.
Your mother is here, that's why you felt so hurt and upset? The only thing he knew about your mother is the fact that she totally failed you at being a decent one, he knew she did drugs and he knew she abandoned you completely when you were just 12. Why is she here to hurt you again, she have no right to just show up like this "I'm sorry about that princess, but you don't have to be afraid okay? I am here and you're safe with me, and I'll keep you safe I promise" he whispered softly and you nod your head, you needed him so bad after seeing her, all those memories made you feel like that nine year old y/n again "Just relax baby, can you close your eyes sweetheart, I'm going to see something is it okay? are you okay with me being in your head right now? I need a firm yes or no okay? I won't press it further if you say no" You have never told him about how you were abused by your own mother, you just told him that you had a tough childhood and one day she just abandoned you.
He would hate seeing your memories, he would hate seeing you so weak, but maybe he deserves to know, you know so much about his past life, maybe you should share too "Loki I.. I want you to know..but I don't..I don't think you would want to see that, I don't want to hurt you" you're still worrying about him? Moments like this makes him want to keep you so close to him all the time that nothing would ever dare touch you or hurt you ever again, but it's not realistic, you would want to stay independent, you wouldn't want to be chained like that "I need to know princess, and you always tell me that sharing helps right? And I always do and I do feel better after that so let me help you this time okay? Let me take care of you my love, let me protect you from whatever it is that's hurting you so bad in this moment" you nod and hug him tightly before you close your eyes, he puts his forehead on yours, as he held you "just relax my love, I'm here" he assured you again.
The memories from your childhood filled his head, everything he saw made him more n more enraged, how could your dad hit you when you were just 5? And your mom? She should be ashamed of herself, how could she treat you like that when all you wanted to do was take care of her when she would be high and drunk, she was supposed to feed you and take care of you, not otherwise, how could she leave you cold and alone to sleep outside. How could she ever lay hands on his princess, you were so small but you were still so willing to give love to your awful parents, could one even call them that? How did a precious princess like you was born out of such awful beings, you deserved none of it, you have been through such awful times, he'll make sure not a day goes by in your life again where you feel unloved, he have hurt you before but he would die before he ever let you get hurt again, no more suffering.
He also thought of how he lived a lavish lifestyle while you were truly suffering here, all alone, after they abandoned you, you got hurt again by someone you thought you loved, your ex, someone you thought would be a friend of life, your best friend, you have been hurt so much and he added to it recently but he can't change your past as much as he wants to, however he'll make sure you'd never have such people again in your life. When he opened his eyes, tears cascaded down on his cheeks, he felt your pain, your loneliness, the hurt of it all, it crushed his soul. He wanted to give you the best ever life, he wanted to fulfill all your dreams, give you all the love you would ever want and more.
"Lo" you wiped his tears with your thumbs, he can't fall apart in front of you, you need him, and he have to be strong for you, just like you have been for him all this time whenever he had a moment of weakness. "I promise you my sweet princess, never again in your life, you'd feel the way you have been made to feel before, I Just want you to know that you were born as a blessing, it's not your fault that your screwed up parents couldn't see what they had when they had you, but I can, I always did, I always will, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that suffering in your life but no more, never again I promise my love, I promise, anything you need, anything you ask for, or even think of I'll give it to you and I'll serve you all my life my goddess, someday, I don't know how far in the future it would be, I'm gonna give you a family you deserve to have, me and you, our little kids, just us" he kissed you softly as he finished and you sobbed a little as your mind registered everything he said. Ofcourse you want it all with him, a marriage, kids but a family? You already have it "I have a family lo, I have you" you sobbed as you spoke.
Seeing your mom did bring bad memories over the surface, but you are truly lucky to have found him and you get to share the rest of your life with him, he's the most thoughtful person there ever could be, and in that moment you felt nothing but so loved, so cherished, so cared for "I love you lo, more than you can imagine" you whisper softly as you kiss him. He kept whispering between the kisses "I know ..you do ..and I'll love you till eternity" he held you so close like that until you calmed down and returned to him mentally and emotionally, you're the strongest person he have ever met and he's so proud of you for not giving up even though the circumstances were so rough, he wouldn't have survived if he was in your place.
"I have to work atleast three more hours" you speak softly and he smiled at you, so brave, so strong you are "So I can't take you home and make warm sweet love to you?" He sucked a mark on your neck and you moaned in response "mmm as tempting as it is, I can't take a leave lo, took a day off on my first day just few days ago remember?" You tell him and he nods, "I'm not going anywhere though, gonna stay in the cafeteria and around you, then I'll take you home and give you all the love I have in me" you moaned as you felt his hands gently grazing over your hips "mmmm yes please" he soaked in your reaction, you're his everything "Let me feed you first okay?" He asks you and you nod.
You went back on the floor hoping your mom was gone and you didn't see her around so you felt relieved, you didn't want to see how loki would react to her being there after he saw your memories and as promised he stayed around, you felt safe with him around you. People recognised him instantly and they kept him occupied, you saw him clicking pictures, that huge adorable smile that you love, alot have changed in a year n half, when he came to see you the second time, at that time people were still wary of him but after Carla's situation and Thanos incident, people have started to see how nice he is and of course how easy on the eyes he is as well, girls and boys audibly squealed as he would smile at them or talk to them. Beautiful beautiful man, and he's all yours to have.
Though you still wondered how your mom found out where you were, you didn't leave anything behind when you ran, did someone clue her in of your whereabouts? You can't handle another stress so you just pushed it aside in your head and finished your hours. He checked up on you in between, as much as he could without distracting you from work, After that loki took you home and fed you again, then he gave you a bathe, and washed your hair, then he laid you down on the bed gently and undressed himself, you really love watching him strip, the way his muscles flex as he pulls his shirt over his head, the way his torso gets sucked in, that defined v line that you love tracing your lips over.
"Tell me what you need love" he asked you as he got on top of you, his voice whispery and soft "need you close lo" you whimpered as you felt his lips sucking on your breasts "I am close princess" you moan as he sucked a little harshly "closer lo, need you in, inside me, need to feel you" you beg as you felt him moving lower n lower, he teased you until your brain was nothing but a mush, the only thought you had in your head was him and how good he felt inside you. After he made you cum several times, you were so exhausted and relaxed that you almost fell asleep while he was still in you "lo...baby..stay in.. don't.. don't pull out" you mumbled, your eyes were closed, you were almost out.
His breath hitched at the request, do you want to sleep like this with him? With his cock in you all night? He was hard again just at the thought of you letting him stay in even when you slept "I just have to for a second so I can do this" he pulled out and you whined before you felt him quickly turning you over so he was on the bed and you laid on top of him , you look at him with your sleepy eyes "need me all night?, even in your sleep?" He asked again and you nod before hiding your face in the crook of his neck "come here sweet girl, so perfect, I love you" he angled your legs and pushed his cock slowly inside you, inch by inch until he was all snugged and wrapped in your warmth, he pulled your thighs up so you'd lay comfortably all night.
You mumbled a soft love you in return, feeling so full and warm as you drifted completely, it was really hard for him to fall asleep this way, the urge to move inside you was too strong, but you both have never discussed this and he didn't want to cross a line, you felt safe with him, he never wanted to do anything to make you feel otherwise, it would kill him. You needed him like this and he'd give you everything you'd ever need as he promised himself. Next morning you woke up first and looked at him. And then you realised he was still inside you, the fact made your face heat up. When he woke up you pampered him in the best way you knew how, and he loved each n every second of it. You also told him that the next time he can just take you in your sleep, you gave him your consent, just thinking about waking up to him thrusting in and out of you made you feral.
You were making breakfast in the kitchen when you heard your doorbell ring, so you asked him to see who it is. As soon as he opened the door he was shocked to say the least, her face made him furious, everything he saw in your head replayed in his head. If she wasn't a woman he might have done something worse, also this was the most inopportune time to be shirtless "What do you want?" He asked, his voice hinted the tinge of annoyance and he was absolutely infuriated just by looking at her.
"You're loki..So it's not all rumours then? Very Well then, where are your manners son? this is not how you should address your possible mother in law right?"

Life After Death
Tumblr media
Pairing: Kyungsoo x Reader
Genre: Zombie! Au, Enemies to Lovers
Warning: Death, Blood, Smut, Swearing
Word Count: 9k
Summary: The morning you woke up, everything seemed normal, until it wasn't. The world is turned upside down the government and the World Health Organization have shut down, zombies around every corner and only the strong survive. You meet a few friends along the way, and lose even more as you continue to fight for your life. You never thought you'd meet someone under these circumstances but here you were, happy while surviving life after death. Though you should have known, there's never a happy ending in an apocalypse.
A/N: This is part of the collab started by @biaswreckingfics! Go to her page to see the other stories written by terrific creators!
"I'll see you later." You whisper to your sleeping boyfriend before you place a light kiss on his cheek. You open the front door to your apartment, looking back and around at everything, making sure you weren't forgetting anything before you left. As you close the door, you realize you forgot to turn off the radio when you hear one of your favorite songs playing. With a sigh, you glance at your watch and you see you're going to be late, so you leave it, just missing the important message that interrupted everything.
"Breaking News: The World Health Organization has announced extremely serious side effects from the recent vaccinations of batch number 0506361. If the numbers 0506361 are on your vaccination cards please report to your nearest hospital to seek medical treatment."
You don't notice anything different or weird as you walk down the pathway from your apartment building to your parked car. The sun is shining, the air smells crisp, today was going to be a good day, you could feel it. You slide into the driver's seat of your car, turning it on and immediately syncing your phone to play your favorite playlist to amp you up for the day of work you had ahead of you. As you continue to drive to work you notice the streets seem a lot busier than they usually were, especially for 7:45am, some people in their suits running down the sidewalk screaming. Your stomach twisted as you continued down the street, your eyebrows furrowing as you tried to watch the people and the road, slowing your speed. You look out your window and see a man laying on the ground, with another man on top of him. You rolled down your window to yell at them, but when the man turned to look at you, panic ensued. His eyes were white, his face was covered in blood, veins pulsating in his face. Nothing about him seemed human. He looked directly at you, and stood up. Your hands shook as you rolled up your window as fast as it would go. The man suddenly now bolted towards you, snarling. With your window up and both hands now on the steering wheel, you try to breathe through the lump that had appeared in your throat. As you keep driving, you see more and more of people being attacked, tackled and ripped into, people running away crying and screaming, vehicles crashing, buildings and cars up in flames. You could hear the blood curdling screams from inside your car. With shaky hands you switch the station of your radio to see if anyone was reporting on what the fuck was happening.
"..If the numbers 0506361 are on your vaccination cards please report to your nearest hospital to seek medical treatment.. there's a virus.. It's zombies. Zombies are attacking the city.. everyone seek shelter.. oh god.. please no."
You quickly turn your car around, speeding back to your apartment as you try to swerve off the undead as you rush back to your boyfriend. You may not know much, but you've seen enough zombie movies to know that you need to get supplies. You drive your car up and over the curb, parking directly on the lawn in front of your building and run inside. You were lucky you lived right on the ground floor of one of the first apartments in. You struggle to slide your key into the lock, the cries of residents pleading filling the hallway. Your key finally slides into the lock, quickly you turn it and shove your door open before slamming it behind you.
"Jaebum?" You whisper as you scrounge through the front closet looking for the duffle bag that you knew was in there. "Jaebum." You hiss again, running to the kitchen. You pack all the perishable food items and then begin filling up every jug you could find that had a lid with water. You tore through your junk drawer grabbing the flashlights and batteries, and any candles you could find as well as your butcher block.
"I'm serious, Jaebum. You need to answer me now." You hiss, bringing the bag into the living room. You guys needed to leave quickly, which meant you needed to pack even quicker. It wasn't like him not to answer you, it made you worry. You glance to the front door and his shoes were still exactly where he had left them the night before. You crept up to your closed bedroom door, with your hand hovering over the door knob. Your heart felt like it was beating out of your chest as you grabbed the knob, slowly turning it. You push the door open, expecting to see him, but he wasn't there. You quickly changed out of your work clothes, and grabbed everything from all of your drawers and shoved it into the bag. It wasn't until you had finished grabbing what you needed and you had a second to listen that you heard the shower running from down the hall, but for whatever reason, something didn't feel right. You tiptoed quietly down the hallway, standing in front of the door, you pressed your ear against it but heard nothing other than the sound of the shower running.
"Jaebum?" You whispered, gently knocking on the door, but there was no answer. You turned the knob, and opened the door. You saw your boyfriend standing there with his back turned to you. "Oh my god, Jae, we have to go! There are fucking zombies outside!" You gasp, still having a hard time believing those words that were coming from your mouth. In a split second he turned around, his face was beginning to contort, one eye was pure white.
"Y/N.. somethings wrong." He chokes out, spitting out blood before he falls to the ground, his body spasming while he froths at the mouth.
You let out a loud scream as you slam the door shut, running down the hallway to grab the duffle bag before heading out. You swing your door open to run out and crash into a man who falls into another group. You turn to apologize but already there were zombies staggering down the hallway at a quick pace. You whisper an apology before you run out the front door, his cries and pleas for help making your heart sink. You release a big breath seeing your car is still there. You climb in your front seat, closing the door as fast as you can and locking all the doors before turning your car on. Just before you were able to put your car in reverse and speed away, a man began banging on your window.
"Please miss, please open your door." He asks. You look at his face, he's sweating, blood splattered all over his face. His fists and arms remain pressed against your window, smearing blood across it. Your eyes drift down and you see a fresh wound - a bite mark and a chunk taken from his arm.
"You were bitten.." You say to him through the window.
"I'm fine. It's fine.. it's not a bite.. please." He begs. He turns to look behind him and looks back at you, panic written all over his face.
"Please miss, they're coming.. please." He cries.
"I can't." You yell, turning your head away from them. You put the car in reverse, stepping on the gas you pull away from him, knocking him to the ground. As your car stops so you can switch it into drive, you watch as the man gets mauled by a herd of the undead. You felt bad, but you couldn't have helped him, even if you wanted to.
You drove towards the freeway, thinking your best bet is to get out of the city. Your eyes were glued to the road and watching the mirrors, you watched as people panicked while driving, crashing into other cars trying to merge first, crashing into medians, and going in all directions. You could feel a panic attack coming along as you finally realized you were all alone. You had no one to talk to, no one to help you and that was terrifying. You glance down at your gas gage, seeing you had almost a full tank, you knew you would be able to make it to the one place that was probably the safest, your cousin Ray's.
You're stuck in traffic with your doors locked as you see a few people running to cars, trying to get in. There's a man, crying and panicking. No one would let him in, a herd of zombies following behind him. You needed to make a quick decision, so you rolled down your window motioning them over to you. "Here, get in." You yell, unlocking your doors. A man climbs into the backseat of your car, and you quickly lock the doors as soon as the door closes.
"Thank you." The man cries
"Have you been bitten?" You ask, turning to look him over.
"No.. no I haven't. Some men.. they pulled me out of my car, and took off, leaving me out there to die." The man explains. "You're the first person who offered me any help."
"I'm glad I could help." You smile through your rear view. "My cousin has a farm just an hour or so up from here. My family is heading there now. He's been preparing for an apocalypse for a long time. We should be safe there." You explain.
Earlier you had gotten a frantic call from your mother, her asking if you had seen what was going on. You couldn't understand why she thought you lived under a rock and didn't know anything. You did leave your house and listen to the news, contrary to popular belief.
"Thank you, thank you." He cries. You just smile as you continue to drive to Ray's farm.
**
An hour later you take a left turn, driving down the gravel road that leads you to the farm house. You drive slowly, seeing your mom's car, your aunt's car and a few other relatives. You sighed a sigh of relief, knowing that your family was safe. The two of you get out of the car and quietly make your way to the door. You softly knock but there's no answer. You turn the door knob, pushing the door open and it's empty. You walk down the small hallway and hear nothing. Your mom isn't talking, Ray wasn't yelling, no one was making a sound and that was very unusual for your family.
"Hello?" You call out.
You hear footsteps coming from down the hall as the two of you stand around the kitchen. "Hurry up." You laugh and cry.
As the footsteps got closer, you could hear snarling. Your laughter stopped as your cousin Ray came out of the back room. "Zombies." You whisper, backing away.
Not far behind him was your mom, dad, and aunt all coming out, rushing towards you all. "Run!" You scream, heading towards the door. You pull it open, the man behind you trying to get out the door, but he falls, crying as the undead come closer. He's doing his best to fight the zombies off but more stagger out from the back room, there are too many for him. "Run! Save yourself! If you meet my wife, her name is H/N, tell her I love her and our daughter." He yells. "I was trying to get home to them." He yells.
He's trying so hard to fight them, but he's bitten, he screams in agony as he's being ripped to shreds, his body being mauled by the undead.
His screams are now silent, the only sound filling the room is the sound of flesh being torn through.
You close the door, running back to your car. You see a gas can on the side of the house. You rummage through your car, knowing that you have a lighter somewhere in there. You remembered the argument you and Jaebum had gotten into about smoking and he tossed his lighter in your car.
Found it, under the passenger seat. As you went to get out of the car, you noticed something in the backseat.
A wallet.
You grabbed it, opening it up to see the license. It was the man's.
"Kim Jongdae." You whisper. You felt sorry for him, but you couldn't take long to mourn. You needed to be alert and get back on the road. You take your lighter and run to the gasoline. You pour it all over the front of the house, seeing your undead family banging against your windows broke your heart but you needed to do this. You flick the lighter, igniting the flame and throw it onto the ground. The house lights up, the flames quickly engulfing the house. You walk back to your car, slide into the driver's seat and sit there, tears pouring down your cheeks. You have no family, no friends, you have no one.
No one is coming to save you. You watch as your family and the house burn to the ground, exploding in the process.
That made you laugh a little bit, thinking of all the illegal shit your cousin Ray had in his basement.
A while later you get yourself together and drive over to the barn. If you knew anything about your cousin, it is that he always stored something in his barn, besides his pride and joy of a car, his old bronco, Monty. You pull the doors open, and take the tarp off the car, revealing its shine. Just as you remembered it. You peaked in the driver's side and sure enough, the keys were dangling from the ignition.
You began walking slowly to the back of the barn, opening another door, and here you found the jackpot.
Guns.
From a machine gun, to a pistol, to a shotgun. You gathered them all, putting the guns and the ammo in the backseat of Monty. You grab your bags from your car, tossing them in as well before looking around to see if there was anything else you could take. You notice a radio, but don't think much of it at the moment.
You climb into the driver's seat, and pull out of the barn, feeling safer than you have all day. You keep driving down the deserted highway. Abandoned cars everywhere, a few bodies laying around but most of all, no zombies but also no humans either. You're barely paying attention to the road, when you hit something, causing you to swerve, and the car to make a funny noise. You get out to check and see your front tire, flat as fuck.
You didn't have a spare. It was getting dark and you were exhausted. You moved most of the guns to the floor of the back seat, grabbing a blanket and some food and water. You change your clothes, wiping yourself down before having a snack. Laying down in the backseat you try to plan out your next move, but your eyelids get too heavy, and you can't fight it anymore. You doze off completely, and for a little while, forget about the disaster you're in.
You stayed in your car for weeks, never coming across anyone human. You missed talking to someone, talking to yourself wasn't the same. At times you almost forgot what your own voice sounded like. When it was safe, you'd get out of the car and wander around the forest, collecting sticks and branches to make fires with, so you could heat up some of your food. You have some, but you were starting to run low and you didn't know what you were going to do when it ran out. You were limiting yourself to one meal a day but even that didn't seem to help.
You learned when zombies came near the car, in a few or a herd, you needed to hide yourself very well. No moving, light breathing and packed under a lot of things. You were sure if they couldn't see you then they would continue on their way and leave. It almost always worked.
Life in the apocalypse was lonely and exhausting. That night you went to sleep, hoping for a miracle.
You're woken up later, by a frantic tapping on your window. Your eyes adjust to the sun as you look directly out your back window. A group of men stand there, all looking terrified as one of them taps on your window harder. You crawl up to the front driver's seat. You know you can't go anywhere, not with your busted tire. You turn the car on, rolling down your window just a crack.
"What?" You ask, side eyeing all of them.
"Please, we won't hurt you.. we just need a ride. There.. there's a military base a few miles up, but we just can't walk anymore. We haven't come across anyone, human in a while." He stutters.
"My tire is flat." You explain. "I don't have a spare."
"I can change it for you, just gotta take one off another car." A man pipes up.
You didn't feel uneasy from these guys and you were one to always trust your instincts.
"You change the tire, I'll give you a ride." You say. A military base? Maybe it would finally be somewhere safe for you to be.
The man nods and gets to work. By the time he's done the sun is beginning to set, and then you're on your journey to hopefully find somewhere safe.
You're driving down the highway, doing your best to follow the men's map that has every military base mapped out in the 100 miles surrounding the area. "What are your names?" You ask.
"I'm Changbin." The one in the front seat answers. "I'm Chan, and this is Felix." One in the back answers.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Y/N." You say with a smile. As you continue to drive, it quickly becomes night time, everything is black, except for the dim lights coming from your headlights. The two men in the back continue to loudly talk and argue over something, making it hard for you to concentrate. You hated driving at night, especially near wooded areas, you never knew what was out there.
"Can you guys stop?" You ask, glancing to the back.
They continued and got louder. Changbin was asleep in the front seat as they continued their bickering, making you get even more flustered. You turn your head to look back at them, telling them again to stop. They look at each other as you look back at the road and see something standing there. You get startled, yanking the wheel to try and avoid it, heading directly into the woods. The car heads straight on towards a tree and crashes. You hit your head hard on the steering wheel, knocking you out.
What feels like hours, but only seconds later you gain consciousness, just in time to hear Changbin and Chan crying. "She killed him." Changbin cried. "I'm gonna kill her." He yells.
You're struggling to open your eyes, your head is pounding.
You can hear some rustling between the two. "Don't." Chan says. "Leave her. She's in no condition to go anywhere. The undead will get her. She'll get her suffering, ``he says. "Let's take what we can and leave."
"No." You whisper. "Don't."
They can't hear you.
You can hear them rummaging through your car, collecting your guns, your food, your water, everything you had.
"Let's go." Changbin says, they both take off, leaving you there to die as you lose consciousness once again.
**
You're startled awake, surrounded by darkness. You unbuckle your seatbelt, getting out of the car with your head pounding. Your headlights are still on, and you see Felix's body laying on the ground. He had flown through the windshield from the impact of the crash. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt. You begin to cry, this was too much for you.
And then you remember. You look up and see a herd of zombies staggering towards you. They were quicker than you thought. You turned towards the road, running as fast as you could, your leg was throbbing. You run across the road to the other side of the woods. You can hear the snarling behind you as you do your best to navigate through the trees, branches breaking beneath your feet.
You stop, hiding behind a tree, trying to control your breathing. You listen, you can hear the sounds of them walking through the forest, searching for you. You take a second before you take off again, trying to zigzag through the woods in your best attempt to lose them.
You look up, seeing a fire. You run towards it, the flames becoming closer, you can hear the sound of faint words.
Then everything goes quiet. Suddenly the fire is put out and you can hear the sounds of guns clicking.
"Don't shoot." You yell out. "Please."
"What do you want?" A woman yells back.
"I'm.. there's a herd following me. I need help. I was in an accident, I was robbed. I haven't been bitten." You stutter.
"We don't need anyone else." A man yells. "Keep moving."
"Please.. I just need some help. I'm all alone." You cry.
"Move along, before I put a bullet in your head." He yells.
You let out a sob as you turn, beginning to run a different way. You hope you can find a safe place and a group of people but for tonight, you just hope you can survive the night.
**
It had been months.
Months since the outbreak, months of being on your own, months of fighting, scavenging, and hiding. You had come across a few groups, but they wanted nothing more than to take what you had and leave you defenseless. You had learned to hide from most people, giving yourself the advantage of a surprise attack. Most of the time you were successful and they just took off but sometimes they also fought back.
A week ago you had come across a small town, and had found some food and water and a place to stay, but you knew better than to stay in one place for too long. You quickly packed up your belongings into your backpack and grabbed your large spear. You learned awfully quick how to take down a zombie with it, finding it to be much more efficient than a gun, especially with having spears on both sides.
As you walk through the forest, your eyes and ears are open, listening for any signs of the undead. You stop in your tracks, hearing the sound of grunting and yelling, sounding close to you. You walk towards the sound, and come into view of four men trying to fight off a herd. They looked to be struggling, and although you don't usually like to insert yourself into others' fights, you felt like being nice and lending a hand. You run towards them, spearing a few in the head on your way.
You quickly join the fight, taking down a few zombies, as they get a little distracted, seeing another person helping.
"Focus." A man yells, bringing them out of the confusion.
A few minutes later, the last one is stabbed in the head, his decaying body dropping to the ground. The four men turn to look at you, two of them with a smile on their faces, one looking a little confused and the other one looking right angry.
"Hi." One with brown hair and a large smile says.
"Thank you." The blonde one grins.
"No problem." You laugh.
"I'm Baekhyun, this is Chanyeol." He introduces. "And that's Suho." He says, pointing to the confused one. "And that's Kyungsoo." He finishes, pointing to the angry one.
"Nice to meet you all." You say. "I'm Y/N."
"Are you all alone?" Chanyeol asks.
You nod your head.
"What's your story, Y/N?" Suho asks.
You smile awkwardly as you look at the four men who surround you. "My boyfriend turned into one of them when this whole thing started, so I was on my own from the beginning, in a sense. I met a man on my way to my cousin's farm, where my family was gathering, and when we got there they all had already turned. He..he tripped and he fell while trying to escape and he was bitten." You shudder. "I gathered supplies and I took off, and ended up with a flat tire a few hours away. I stayed in my car for weeks, managing pretty well on my own. I met three guys who offered to change my tire for a ride to a military base but when we finally got going.. it was dark and they were arguing in the back." You explain. "I turned around to tell them to stop, but they wouldn't listen and when I looked back at the road, there was something there and I swerved." You sigh. "We hit a tree, and one of them flew through the window. The other two robbed me of everything I had and I've been alone ever since."
"Well not anymore you're not." Baekhyun smiles. "You can join our group."
"Yeah!" Chanyeol exclaims.
"No." Kyungsoo grunts, walking past you, glaring at you. "We didn't need your help. And you're not joining us." He spits. "You're not going to let her join, right?" He asks Suho.
"I don't know." Suho sighs.
"Suho, everyone around her dies. She's bad fucking luck and if you bring her with us, we're all as good as dead." He spits.
"Meeting." Suho announces.
The four men huddle around, whispering to each other. You can make out Baekhyun and Chanyeol saying yes, and Kyungsoo saying no.
Seconds later they all stand up, Kyungsoo looking pissed with the other two looking happier than a pig in shit.
"If you would like to, we would like to invite you to join us. We know it's tough out here, and I can't imagine what it's been like to be alone." Suho says.
You look between all the men, even if one hated you for no reason, you were tired of being alone, and being scared alone.
"Yes." You announce. "Thank you."
"Come on, our camp is this way." Chanyeol smiles, waving you along. Three men begin walking away, but Kyungsoo walks towards you.
"I don't trust you." He murmurs, moving in close. "If anyone from this group so much as gets a splinter, I'm coming for you." He growls into your ear, his tone is low and very threatening. Goosebumps cover your skin as you feel his hot breath on your ear.
You nod your head.
He turns away from you, running towards the rest of his group.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea?
**
You felt like your legs were going to collapse as you continued to walk behind the group. Baekhyun turns around, smiling as he announces you have arrived. You look around and see a bunch of trees, but no camp, except for the small campfire pit that sat on the ground.
"It's.. nice." You smile.
Chanyeol, Suho and Baekhyun start laughing.
"Look up." Chanyeol says.
You tilt your head to the sky, and see a decent sized tree house sitting between a few trees. Your jaw drops, this was one thing you had never expected to see. "Come, we'll give you a tour." Baekhyun says, beginning to climb up the swinging ladder. You follow behind Baekhyun, the rest coming up behind you. When you get inside, you're honestly still amazed. It wasn't much but it was safe and it was out of the way and off the ground.
"We pull up the ladder when we're here, and when we all leave we just hide it." Suho explains. "We have food, water and sleeping bags. The most important things. We all pitch in around here, whether or not it's repairs, runs, or fights, everyone helps." He says, looking at you.
"Of course. Whatever I can do to help, I will." You assure them.
"Or don't, I'm not ready to die." Kyungsoo mutters, setting his stuff down.
Your eyes darted over to Kyungsoo, giving him an offended look. He looks back at you, not caring if he's hurt your feelings. You can sort of understand why he's weary of you, but it's not like you killed these people for the hell of it. You were determined to prove that it wasn't you, that you weren't bad luck. How you were going to do that, you had no idea.
**
That night you sat around a campfire, your belly fuller than it's been in a while, while you listened to stories Baekhyun and Chanyeol shared about their friend group. As it turned out, there were a total of twelve of them when this first started. Some of them were unfortunate to be ones who had gotten the batch of vaccines, a few they had lost while traveling, some died in fights, or took off to find their loved ones.
"Have you come across any of them?" You ask.
"We've looked, but no luck so far. There are two we're still looking for. Oh Sehun and Kim Jongdae." Suho says.
Your heart stops. Your head darts up, looking at him with wide eyes.
"What?" Chanyeol asks.
"What was that last name?" You whisper.
"Kim Jongdae? He was one of our best friends." Suho tells you.
You gulp, there's a ball forming in your throat. "What?" Kyungsoo yells. "What do you know?"
"I.. He said he was trying to get back to his wife and kid.. h-he told me to run and save myself. I wanted to help him b-but I didn't know how." You choke out.
"The man that was bitten at your farm. That was Jongdae?" Kyungsoo asks.
"I saw his license in his wallet.. he had dropped it in my car when we got out. I'm so sorry." You cry.
Kyungsoo rushes towards you, tackling you to the ground, straddling you.
"You fucking bitch, I knew you shouldn't have joined us. It should have fucking been you. You should have died, not him." He screams in your face, spit flying from his mouth as he hands pin your shoulders to the ground.
You're bawling as Suho and Chanyeol pull Kyungsoo off of you, he's still crying and yelling. "It should have been you!" He yells.
Baekhyun helps you off the ground, guiding you to go up into the tree house. He sets out a sleeping bag for you, tucking you in as you cry into the built in pillow. 'I'm so sorry." You whimper.
"I know. And we know it's not your fault. Jongdae was a clumsy motherfucker so I'm not surprised he tripped. Don't take what Kyungsoo says to heart. He's been through alot and he's not warm to new people. Just give him a bit." Baekhyun tells you. He gives you a half smile before climbing down the ladder and sitting back around the fire, helping to calm things down. That night you fell asleep with tears staining your face.
**
Days bled into weeks, and then into months, until this new life and these men were all that were at the top of your mind. Chanyeol had finally been able to make contact with the ham radio that had been found on one of many expeditions. There seemingly were whole groups of people like yourselves out there, sticking together and trying to survive. You reflected on the wonder of it all as you cleaned the rabbit you had caught, the best you could.
Kyungsoo had become different with you, he didnt give off a hatred towards you anymore. His words didn't cut quite as deep. Slowly you were becoming closer, and you enjoyed it.
Suddenly, you feel a presence behind you, waves of hot breath covering the nape of your neck, sending chills down your spine. He didn't even need to speak, you already knew who it was. "You're doing it wrong." Kyungsoo breathed, his body close to yours.
"I'm not." You retort, continuing to skin the dead animal. You tried to ignore his presence, and that fact that he made you feel so many mixed emotions whenever he was around.
You both hear a crunch of leaves behind you, making Kyungsoo step away from you and turn around.
"What are you guys doing?" Baekhyun asks, raising his eyebrow.
"She's skinning the rabbit wrong. She's going to take off all the meat with the fur." Kyungsoo announces.
"I am not.. shit." You spit, looking on the ground, seeing hunks of meat still attached to the fur.
"Told you." He mumbles, walking away and into the forest to try and find more food.
You stick up your middle finger at the man who drove you crazy day in and day out.
"Y/N." Suho calls out to you, a few hours later. "If you want to take a bath, go to the stream now. It's going to be dark soon."
You nod your head, climbing up the ladder to grab your things. You slide back down, just in time for Kyungsoo to be protesting something.
"We've all got other things to do, you're the only one free." Suho tells him. "Y/N, Kyungsoo will be keeping watch for you."
"I really don't ne.." you start.
"Yes you do." He says, looking at you. "And you will go. That's it."
With an aggravated groan, Kyungsoo stomps off towards the stream, with your speed walking to keep up with him.
As you finish up your wash, you dry yourself off with your towel, pulling your jeans on over your damp legs. You bend down to grab your shirt, when you hear a rustling from behind you. You stand up straight, your heart pounding in your chest.
You hear it again, the sound now closer to you. "Fuck." You scream, running towards Kyungsoo. Your body collides with his, your breasts pressing against his hard chest. "There's something out there." You whisper.
You both hear the sound, Kyungsoo holding onto you as his eyes dart around, taking in the surroundings. Seconds later a deer walks out of the bushes, grazing and you can feel your heart slow down.
"It's a deer." He announces, looking at you. You look back at him, your eyes trailing to his heart shaped lips. Your own set of lips parting slightly as you look back at him, his eyes haven't moved from your face. Without thinking you inch yourself forward, which causes Kyungsoo to inch back. Your stomach sinks. You cannot believe you just did that. Why did you think that he would return a kiss?
"We should head back." He says, avoiding eye contact and clearing his throat.
You feel so embarrassed. You quickly whisper an apology before grabbing your things and taking off, hearing a faint "wait." From behind you. You're running through the words, desperately trying not to cry as you can hear Kyungsoo running behind you.
You finally slow down, trying to catch your breath as your lips quiver. You hear a stick break behind you. You turn around with a sigh, and come face to face with a zombie, snarling as he reaches out for you. You scream loudly as you try to fight it off, tripping in the process. You fall back with him on top of you as he tries to go in for a bite. Black bile is seeping from his mouth, his breath is rancid.
"Help!" You scream out, one hand trying to reach for something, anything that would help you take him out.
Suddenly his body goes limp and you hear the sound of a sword coming out of his head. You roll the body off of you, and see Chanyeol smiling above you.
"Thank you." You sigh in relief. Chanyeol puts out his hand to help you up, when he's attacked. Another zombie staggers up to him, latching his teeth to Chanyeol's neck. He screams out in agony as the monster devours him before your eyes.
"No!" You cry. You take Chanyeol's sword, putting the blade right through the zombie's skull. Chanyeol sinks to the ground, sobbing while he holds his neck. "I'm sorry." You cry. "I'm so so sorry."
"It's.. not.. your...fault." He breathes. "Tell them.. I love them.." he stutters.
Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and Suho rush to Chanyeol's side. Baekhyun is sobbing while Kyungsoo and Suho hold back their tears.
"I didn't.. I didn't know there was a second one." You sob.
Kyungsoo walks over to you, his face stone cold. He wraps one arm around you, pulling you in close to him. "It's not your fault." He murmurs. The two of you stand there, watching the life drain from Chanyeol's eyes.
Baekhyun announces he will be the one to put Chanyeol down, but would like to do it in private. Three of you walk away from the sobbing man, your heart full of guilt.
**
The next day, the camp is quiet. You were busy making wood spears, like Chanyeol had taught you a few weeks ago. You couldn't even look at Baekhyun. You knew the two of them were best friends and your heart hurt so badly that Chanyeol died while trying to save you.
Had you not been so stupid and tried to kiss Kyungsoo, then this would never have happened. You knew this was your fault and there was nothing you could do to make it better. You can't bring Chanyeol back and you really wish you could.
"Careful." You hear from behind you. You turn your head and see Kyungsoo leaning against a tree. "If you keep sharpening it like that you're going to end up slicing your finger off." He tells you.
"This is how.. Chanyeol showed me how to do it." You say. You could barely speak his name.
Kyungsoo chuckles. "Yeah, he wasn't the best at doing it either." He crouches behind you, wrapping his arms around you to show you the proper way of doing it. Your heart still flutters as he touches you.
"Thank you." You whisper.
"Anytime." He says, standing up and walking away from you.
Fuck. You were so fucked.
**
That night you couldn't sleep. You stared at the empty spot beside you, where Chanyeol used to sleep. You could hear the small whimpers coming from Baekhyun and you just couldn't take it. You slowly slid out of your sleeping bag, slid on some shoes and climbed down the ladder. As you stand in the forest, you take a deep breath of fresh air. You need to gather your thoughts and heal yourself. You begin walking through the woods. It's quiet, and you didn't plan on going very far. As you're walking, you stop to listen. You hear a noise coming from in front of you but you didn't know what it was. You tried your best to hide behind the tree, limiting your breathing as you continue to listen. You can heat twigs breaking and leaves crunching. Your heart begins to race in your chest, you squeeze your eyes shut.This was a bad idea, you should not have left the tree house.
"What are you doing?" You hear from in front of you. You open your eyes and see Kyungsoo standing in front of you.
"I thought.. oh my god." You sigh. "I thought I was going to die."
Before he can say anything you both hear groans and snarls but you're not sure where from. You unintentionally let out a squeak. Kyungsoo covers your mouth with his hand, pushing you up against the tree. His body presses hard against yours, you can feel his hot breath against your neck.
The two of you stay like this for what feels like hours. When the sound is finally gone he pulls away from you.
"What are you doing out here?" He growls.
"I needed some air, and to think." You explain.
"You could die out here. This has to be your stupidest decision." Kyungsoo scoffs.
"No." You begin. Before your brain can tell you not to say anything, your mouth begins to move. "My stupidest decision was trying to kiss you." You say, turning away from him to walk away.
"I was surprised." He announces. "I didn't think you'd try and kiss me. I didn't think you'd even like me. I treated you terribly." He tells you.
"That's probably why I like you unfortunately." You sigh, making him laugh.
As the two of you are walking back towards the house, you hear whispers coming towards you. You both stop, hearing the sound of a gun loading, making you stop in your tracks. Kyungsoo pulls you behind him, moving both of you towards a bigger tree to hide behind.
"Show yourself walker." A man screams. "I know you're out there."
Neither of you say anything. Kyungsoo is against pressed up against your body, shielding you from any danger.
A while later you see a light flashing. It flashes towards your tree, making Kyungsoo push into you more, trying to keep the two of you hidden. The light passes the tree you're behind and continues to walk away. Neither of you move until the light is completely gone and out if sight. Both of you let out a sigh of relief but Kyungsoo doesn't move away from you. His face hovers close to yours, you can feel his breath on your face.
You wait. You wait for what you hope will happen but you don't think that it will come.
Until it does. Kyungsoo presses his lips to yours. You're shocked at first, until he begins moving his lips against yours and you get into it. You wrap your arms around his neck as he slips his tongue into your mouth. You moan into the kiss, making him groan.
"I want to fuck you." He says, his lips still just barely touching yours.
"I want you to fuck me." You breathe.
Kyungsoo turns you around, pushing you up against the tree. He kneels down, pulling down your sweat pants and underwear.
"Spread your legs." He demands.
You spread them as far as you can. You can hear the sound of his belt unbuckling behind you. Your pussy throbs in anticipation. You don't know how big or small he is, but you hope he destroys you. You couldn't even remember the last time you had been fucked at all.
Kyungsoo steps up behind you, taking two fingers and searching between your lips for your hole. He chuckles when he finds it, he can feel your juices dripping from inside of you. "So fucking wet." He groans, slowly pushing his two fingers inside you. Immediately you clench around them, it feels so good. "I needed to make sure you were wet enough, and fuck are you ever." He whispers in your ear.
He pulls his fingers out of you, and lines his cock up with your hold. You're bracing yourself on the tree as he pushes himself inside you. Your eyes practically roll back into your head as he stretches you out.
"Oh god." You cry, your fingernails digging into the tree bark.
"Shit." He cries, slowly pulling out of you before snapping his hips and harshly pushing his cock back inside. "It's gonna be quick." He groans.
That was fine with you, you knew you could rub your clit twice and cum, it had been too long.
Kyungsoo has his hands holding onto your hips as he snaps his, grunting and groaning from behind you. You reach between your legs, touching your clit. You begin to slowly rub it and you can already feel your intense orgasm already building up. You feel like you're going to cum already. His cock feels so nice sliding in and out of your pussy, the sound of his grunts and moans, with the feeling of his hot breath covering you and giving you shivers.
"Cum." He grunts. Your tighten your pussy around him as you orgasm washes over you, leaving your body feeling weak.
Kyungsoo moans loudly as he pulls out of you, jerking his cock to cum all over your ass. He lets out a string of swear words as he releases his load, breathing heavily as he works through it.
You both pull up your pants, and get situated. "We better get back." He says, walking back towarsa camp. You follow closely behind him, confused about your feelings for him, but more so his feelings for you, if there were any.
**
The next day you wake up with the thoughts of what happened last night over flowing through your head. You didn't know how to process this, or what was going to happen now. You decided to see how the day was going to play out and just go about your normal routine.
When you got downstairs you said hi to Suho, Baekhyun and Kyungsoo. Two of them said goodmorning back to you, and one did not. You tried to stop thinking about it but it was hard and you knew he wasn't the type of man to tell you his feelings.
However, all day he ignored you. Anytime you tried to say anything to him, he walked away, he refused to answer you and honestly you felt extremely disrespected. Your eyes burn as you fight off the tears, watching him talk and laugh with Baekhyun while you just get ignored.
Suho on the other hand most definitely noticed something was going on because a little while later you see Suho quietly yelling at Kyungsoo.
"I don't care what you did." Suho spits. "Fix it. I refuse to have a hole in our team because one of us is being a dick. Fucking fix it." He murmurs again before walking away.
**
That night you laid in your sleeping bag, wondering if this is what it was going to be like. You having feelings for Kyungsoo, and him taking advantage of it. Fucking you when it's convenient for him and ignoring you the rest of the time. Even after death, life was still so fucked.
You feel something pressing against you from behind. You slowly roll over and see Kyungsoo laying beside you in his sleeping bag.
"Can we talk?" He asks.
You nod your head.
"I." He begins. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you, I'm sorry for the things I said and for the way I acted when I found out about Jongdae. Its been hard to lose people, and it's even harder to accept new people into the group. You're doing a great job here and we're lucky to have you." He whispers.
"Thank you." You smile. But you really want to know why he ignored you all day. "What was going on today?" You ask.
"I enjoyed last night. I, um, had a girlfriend when this whole thing started. We got out together, we met up with Suho and Baekhyun and Chanyeol and she really helped build alot of this. I lost her a while ago, and it's been hard. I didn't think I would meet anyone, or fall for anyone else and then you came along. I feel guilty for liking you so much, like I'm cheating." He explains. "I was convincing myself it wasn't cheating."
"I get that. I was in a relationship when this thing started. Unfortunately for me, he ended up being one of the ones who received that does of vaccine. I had to leave him in our apartment and take off." You whisper. "You'll always have her memory with you and it's something you'll treasure. I didn't know her, but I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be sad and mourning her."
"You're right." He sighs. "It's hard to let go, but I do like you, Y/N. I want you to know that."
"I like you too." You smile.
The two of you lay there, whispering to eachother, laughing and enjoying the night. You couldn't have asked for anything better.
**
Over the next few weeks, the others had changed. With Chanyeol being gone, it took a toll on Baekhyun. He often sobbed at night, crawling next to you so you could rub his head while he cried. Your heart went out to him.
This life wasn't easy.
Suho had become much more grimmer and sullen. He barks orders at people, never engaging in coversations anymore. He's tired, everyone is tired with very little of hope for the future. Fighting for your lives everyday, scrounging for food and water is a struggle, however none of this stopped you and Kyungsoo from sneaking off when you could to be together.
Neither of you really talked when you weren't fucking and that was okay with you, you knew he still had feelings for you. It was the little things he did for you when no one was looking that reassured you. You both knew that announcing your relationship to Suho and Baekhyun would not end well, so keeping it between the two of you would be the best.
You announced to Baekhyun and Suho that you were going to the river, they both just nodded while Kyungsoo offered to be your watch.
It didn't take long for him to be pulling off your shirt and for you to slide off your pants and panties. Both of you walked into the cool water, soaking yourselves before Kyungsoo pulled you towards him. He lifts you up, letting you put your legs around him as he leans in for a kiss. You can feel his cock sliding against your pussy, waiting to be pushed in. He breaks the kiss, leaning down to pepper kisses along your neck as he thrusts, pushing himself inside of you.
You throw your head back as he holds you, fucking you harshly. There was never time to fuck slow, you always needed to be quick and get it done, just in case.
He pumps himself into you, his hand reaching between you and him, touching your sensitive bud and rubbing while he pounds his cock into you.
"Fuck baby." He groans. "You feel so fucking good."
You hold him close as your orgasm builds, biting your bottom lip and your hands gripping his hair. "Just like that." You breathe. "Don't stop." You grind yourself on him as you begin to cum, intensifying your orgasm. "Oh god yes." You moan, breathing heavily.
"I'm gunna cum." He moans, thrusting harder. Seconds later he releases himself, shooting his cum inside of you, his head resting on you as he catches his own breath.
"Fuck." He breathes pulling out of you. "I love you." He whispers.
You stare at him with wide eyes. This wasn't something you had been expecting at all, considering you did your best to hide the relationship at all costs. "I know it might be too soon, but I do and I need you to know that."
"I love you too." You smile.
You're brought out of your sweet moment when you hear screaming from Baekhyun and Suho. You both rush out of the water and get dressed as quick as you can before running back to camp.
"What?" You breathe. "What happened?"
Baekhyun and Suho grin as they stare at the radio. "Listen!" Baekhyun yells.
“Our dear citizens, to those who have survived. The WHO has created what promises to be a vaccine. We are asking all our citizens to make their way to the nearest hospital facility. Troops are being deployed along with helicopters and planes to transport as needed. Today … we have hope in the world again”
You all burst into tears. You did it, you survived and met some wonderful people. You have a love you had never thought you'd get again.
Kyungsoo embraces you tightly, crying into your shoulder as you do his. Quickly Suho and Baekhyun join your hug, all of you feeling such relief and happiness, for the first time in a long time.
As quick as you all can, you gather what you need to make the trek to find a hospital. You say a quick goodbye to your site that has kept you safe for so long, before taking off, hand in hand with Kyungsoo, and Baekhyun and Suho on either side of you.
It wasn't long into your journey, when you hear the familiar sounds of zombies wandering through the forest. The four of you prepare yourselves for a fight but as they come out, you realize there are more than you all had anticipated. You try to fight your way through the crowd, but somehow you're separated from the group, trying to take on more than you can. The others are distracted, they aren't paying attention to your calls for help. A zombie lunges at you, knocking you back. You're crying loudly but no one is coming to help. The other zombies kneel beside you as you keep trying to fight them off, but one takes a chunk out of your shoulder. You scream in agony as you lose your strength to fight. They're devouring you as you're fading into the darkness. You can hear Kyungsoo yell no and all the pain stops. You see him standing over you as you spit up blood. He's crying over your body, asking you to stay with him but you can't. You're tired of fighting, you want to let go now.
So you do.
You open your eyes and see a film over everything. Your body is sore, the scent of meat makes your mouth water and your stomach cramp. Everything feels stiff but something smells so good. Your hearing is better than ever, picking up the sound of a rapid beating heart and the sound of crying. Wait…Where’s my heart beat? You look with horror at the meat...
“I’m sorry,” he whispers, “I love you.” You reach out to stop the knife but your body is stiff and I responsive as you watch the knife plunging towards you. It’s me you scream in your head as it all goes dark
There is no happiness in life after death.

Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing 
Champagne Problems
-
March.
-
Harry wasn’t exactly sure when you and him had drifted apart. Logically he knew every relationship had points where things may feel repetitive or where both people struggle, but the two of you had never felt this cold. 
That doesn’t stop the guilt that sinks his stomach and causes his lungs to constrict when you hang the phone up. “Y/N?” He asks in response to the obvious dial tone. 
The guilt doesn’t stop him from staying at the pub. Niall had left hours ago with a hurried goodbye. Jennifer had declined going out at all, saying all she wanted was rest. All who was left was Mitch, Harry, Ally and their semester law intern, Hannah. 
“Everything okay at home?” Ally asks kindly as Harry slips into the booth. Mitch raises his eyebrows as Harry shrugs. “She sounds pissed, but no emergency.” 
“If she sounds pissed why are you still here?” Mitch laughs. It sounds uneasy to Harry as his friend looks him up and down confused. “I remember when you used to refuse going out with us because you didn’t want Y/N upset.” 
Harry takes a sip of his beer and looks away. The pub was mostly filled with other suits. More lawyers from the firm who worked in offices Harry never visited. Doctors from the hospital two blocks away.
He turns his head back to look at Mitch when he feels a hand graze his knee. “I think you deserve a break.” Hannah says quietly. Harry watches as Mitch shakes his head, but turns away before his friend can say anything else. 
(Because Mitch’s stare just forces the guilt up Harry’s throat and he’s afraid it’ll come out in vile. Things were never supposed to go this far with Hannah. It was supposed to be stupid flirting and compliments. Nothing that could break you. It was never supposed to break you.)
(Harry hadn’t done that good of a job.) 
Harry wasn’t drunk. He hadn’t been drunk since law school. He was an adult. With a high paying position at a sought out law firm. He didn’t get drunk. 
You didn’t leave the porch light on though, so it’s a little hard for him to focus on getting the key in the door and also being quiet. But he’s not drunk, so he can do it. He does it. 
He pauses as he drops his keys onto the entry table. The entire first floor is dark. He slips his shoes off as well and leaves them by the door in order to avoid trying to find the correct cubby for them. 
You had left the hallway light on upstairs, so most of the staircase was illuminated enough for Harry to make it up them without missing a step. That didn’t stop him from stumbling up the last three though. 
He can see the bedroom light had been left on as well. He listens for the sound of you talking to Jack or even just the baby’s giggles, but when all he hears is silence, he assumes you had fallen asleep writing. He pushes the door open. 
You’re sitting on the edge of the bed and twisting your ring around your finger as you gnaw on your bottom lip. Your head shoots up when you hear the door open and Harry’s eyes widen. “Y/N?” He feels his eyes squint at the bright overhead light feeling much harsher with your glare. 
He ignores the pit in his stomach as he lifts his wrist the check the time, “Why are awake? It’s almost three in the morning. (He never meant for this happen. He was never supposed to be in this scene.) 
You shrug and let out a laugh that Harry could only describe as empty. The pit in his stomach grows as you whisper harsh words, “I’m well aware of how ridiculously late it is, Harry. I figure I should be awake though, it’s the only time I’ll see you.” 
Harry looks away as he pulls his jacket off and lays it on the bed beside where you were sitting. “What are you talking about?” In order to avoid your stare he focuses his attention to his white button up. He hands fumble and he notices you stand in his peripheral version. 
His hands pause for a moment, like he expects your hands to steady his shaking ones like they normally did. You almost do, he notices, but a look crosses your face and your arms cross over your chest defensively. 
“The kids missed you.” You say quietly. 
Harry knows what’s coming as his hands fall completely away from the shirt and he finally looks at you. He feels tears rush to his eyes as the guilt from earlier in the night returns tenfold. “I missed them too.” He says quietly. 
“Seph asked me if you were leaving us.” The words feel like a punch to the gut as you just watch him stand and process them. Seph asked that? Had he really been gone so often his first daughter, his best friend, was worried he wouldn’t come back one day? 
“She what?” Harry flinches when he hears his voice crack. “I would never leave you guys, I love you.” 
You look away. “Do you?” And if your words about Persephone had felt like a punch, these felt like a gunshot. Pain splintering from his chest throughout his entire body. 
“What?” He almost yells. But he knew the kids were asleep. He never wanted to wake his kids up to fighting. He feels like he’s sobering up fast and it’s making him nauseous. He takes a hesitant step towards you before placing his hand gently on your cheek. 
Or at least, attempting to. You flinch away and Harry’s hand falls to his side. “Y/N,” He starts quietly. “Don’t think-”
Your laughter cuts him off as your eyes flick angrily back to his. “if you wanted me to believe that, you wouldn’t come home smelling like another woman.” Harry’s heart freezes as his eyes widen. You pull his left hand up, “You wouldn’t leave your wedding ring out for me to see every time I was my hands.” 
Harry tries to pull his hand back, ashamed at the idea of his ring haunting you, but your grip only tightens. “You wouldn’t have a hickey. One I didn’t give you considering we haven’t had sex in months.” Your other hand is point hard into his chest to where a mark lays covered partially by his shirt. 
You let go of him as you fall onto the edge of the bed and look up at him with tears. He feels his chest constrict as he sits down next to you. He pulls both your hands into his, “Y/N...” He says quietly. “I am so sorry.” 
Tears threaten to spill from his eyes as you try to pull away from him. “Am I not good enough?” You ask quietly. He pulls you to him but you thrash in his arms. “Seventeen years of my life. Four kids. Everything. I gave you everything.” You’re crying but your voice is cold. 
You’re thrashing stops and it’s silent. Harry reluctantly lets go of you and you immediately stand up again. You look at him expectantly and Harry feels like he’s going to throw up as he looks down at his hands. 
“It didn’t mean anything.” he says quietly. Truthfully. “It never meant- I love you.” He stresses. He falls from the bed to his knees in front of you. “You’re the love of my life.” He thinks of college. His law school graduation. He thinks getting promoted and buying your home. 
He thinks of divorce papers as you look away from him. “How long?” You ask quietly. 
“Please.” Harry begs. Where would he go if you kicked him out? Mitch would tell him he was an idiot. He loved you. Would his mom take your side? She should, he thinks. Gemma would want to kill him. 
“How long?” You ask coldly. Your face has steeled itself. Harry can see the tension in your jaw and almost feels his dinner coming up. 
“A month.” He wraps his arms around you. He nuzzles his face into your stomach. He sees your hand twitch, almost like you want to run a hand through his hair. “It meant nothing. Y/N. I’ll end it right now.” 
Stupid. His head screams. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. 
“Okay.” You unwrap yourself from his arms and step away. Harry watches you confused as you move towards your side of the bed. “I’m going to bed.” You rub a hand over your face before laying down. 
Harry stands awkwardly unsure of what to do with himself. He knew he couldn’t sleep in the bed. That something like that was probably the last thing you wanted to do. 
“Take a shower. Sleep in the guest room.” Your back is facing him and he sees your arms wrapped around yourself. This bed is too big for one person, he thinks. That’s selfish of you; His conscious tells him. 
He moves quickly to get pajamas from the closet. He debates showering in the ensuite, maybe he’d be able to see you again before sleeping, but he turned out of the room. 
He would shower in the kids bathroom. 
-
The guest room was cold. It was the only bedroom downstairs and that made it felt ten times lonelier to Harry. It was rarely used too. Gemma would stay in it when she visited L.A, but she had gotten her own apartment in the city and it was no longer used frequently. 
Your parents lived only an hour away and had no need to spend nights at your house and his mother was rarely able to make the flight over the ocean. It felt like something staged for the sale of a house. 
Harry sighs as he sits on the edge of the bed. With his head in his hands he thinks over where he went wrong. He had never meant for this to happen. For any of this. 
The distance had been a byproduct of the stress. He was worried about the kids. He had done the numbers and sure you two were well off, but four kids was expensive. You had stored any more you’d made from your book in savings. A rainy day fund didn’t calm Harry’s nerves.  
So he worked more. And he went out after work for a drink or two. And he talked. That’s what it had started out as. Just talking numbers over with Hannah, who helped him work them out. She wanted to be a divorce lawyer. Or maybe it was just broad family law. 
Harry thought that was ironic now that his marriage would probably be over. It was running through numbers. Maybe there was a hand on the knee or feet that were just too class together. Things he had brushed off as accidents and completely unintentional. Then it had been him walking her to her car. Then she had kissed him and well- Harry isn’t blameless. 
It would be ridiculous for him to say he was. 
He falls back onto the bed and lets out a shaky breath. How had he been so stupid? 
He sits back up immediately and pulls out his cellphone. He hadn’t even saved her number. They almost never texted and would usually just see each other at the bar. It had only been two weeks since they had kissed by her car. They had only-
He can’t believe he had let it get this far. He can’t believe he’s sitting here justifying himself with onlys. 
He’s unsure of what to say. Should he apologize? It wasn’t anymore her fault than it was his own. 
I have kids and a wife I love. This was wrong. I’m sorry. 
Harry flinches. He felt gross and guilty. The shower hadn’t done anything but sobered him up. He felt everything over and over. Nausea, a headache bound to come on, guilt and just pain. 
He pulls up Mitch’s message strain. Won’t be in tomorrow. Not feeling great. 
He responds within minutes. Hope she doesn’t leave your ass. I’d take her side. 
Harry lets out an empty laugh. Wouldn’t everyone? His mother loved you. She had since the two of you had met in college. When you had found out you were pregnant a semester before graduation his mother had been nothing but supportive; Especially when your parents had poorly hidden their own disappointment. 
Gemma thought of you as the sister she never had. Her and Harry were close, but over the last almost twenty years you and her had grown closer. 
His mind drifts to the kids. How could he do this to the kids? Force them go through what had been devastating to him. He may not practice family law, but he knew how it worked. You worked from home all the time and had been taking care of them their entire lives. 
They would ask the kids where they wanted to go, they would refuse to leave their mother. Harry would too, you were home to everyone in the family. Life without you sounded meaningless. 
Why did you do it then? He shakes his head. He doesn’t know. It wasn’t like you had stopped giving him attention, there was no time for sex and work got in the way of dates. It was his fault. 
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. The word repeats itself over and over again in his head. . Even if he could find ways you had ignored him or cast him to the side it would be pointless. It would be placing blame on a blameless person. It was his fault. 
He crawls under the comforter. It’s nowhere near as soft as the one you had chosen for the bedroom. The sheets weren’t slept in so they didn’t feel as soft and worn. Harry thinks of having to find his own sheets and bed, his heart drops. 
He doesn’t sleep. Unable to stop the back and forth of how do I fix this and will she even let me try? 
-
Harry’s fingers tap incessantly on the drivers wheel as he makes his way home from Serena and Oliver’s school. Persephone had been pretty silent to entire drive to her high school, but Oliver had done more than covered for her with his stories. 
How had it gone from breakfast together at least once a week and and family game nights to Oliver wanting nothing more than to be in his mother’s car and Persephone sitting in pure silence. 
Harry’s mind trails back to you as he drives. You had barely spared him a second glance as you sat down to join them at the breakfast table. He had felt his hesitant smile drop when you looked away from him. And even though talking to the kids all morning had caused his happiness to jump, there was still pain steadily flowing as he thought of what your plan was. 
Would you kick him out? Selfishly, he thought that was his biggest fear. Not having you and the kids to come home to everyday and losing the comfort it had always brought him. he had taken advantage of it and now that it could slip through his fingers at any moment he felt disgusting. 
The drive allows him to wallow in his thoughts, but pulling into the driveway is a far worse feeling. Knowing that you were inside and could give him news that would kill him.
Was he allowed to feel that way? He asks himself. Like you leaving him would kill him, when it would be because of his own choices. He takes a deep breath and forces himself to straighten himself out as he steps out of the car and begins the walk towards the front door.
He mumbles apologies and empty words as he walks up. Unsure of what he could say to you to break the silence. When he opens the door, you’re sitting with Jack as he babbles and plays with his toys on the floor. 
“Forgot how much Olly could talk.” Harry settles on starting with. He lets out an awkward laugh as you stand and lift Jack up before placing him in the play pen. You lean down and tickle him gently. “Please don’t escape, little Houdini.” Once you let him go and step away the young boy crawls away with a giggle. 
You make your way towards the kitchen silently and Harry walks behind you with a nervous buzzing feeling in his chest.
You take a deep breath and Harry watches as you slide a piece of paper over the counter and towards. As his eyes scan down the list he feels a sliver of hope creep into his heart.
“What’s this?” He asks quietly. It’s names and phone numbers that have his heart beating a million miles per second.
“A list of marriage counselors.” His eyes follow your finger as you point towards each name and number. “For us to see once a week.”
The hope in him is growing by the second as words keep coming out of your mouth. “You’re not leaving me?” He blurts out in shock.
Your stance turns defensive and Harry takes a deep breath trying to calm himself. “No.” You answer quietly. “Not yet anyways.” Harry can’t help the furrow of his brow as the words hit him. It wasn’t definite and this was a test. You sigh which forced Harry to move his attention back to you. “We have four kids together. A life. And no matter how much you hurt me, I still love you.”
Harry bites back the smile threatening to cross his face. Because despite everything, you love him. You still did. You both glance at your ring finger when he notices you twisting the ring around it. “You’re the love of my life. I don’t want to throw that all away without trying first.”
Harry can’t stop the smile this time as happiness bursts inside him. “Y/N.” He says quietly.
He kind of zones out as he watches you go over what you want to do from here. Counseling and cutting hours back at the firm. Neither a punishment in Harry’s mind.
“I’m not sure if you like, ended it with her.” You start and he nods hastily. “I have. I did last night. I’ll never talk to her again.” He promises. He feels guilt again but part of is held back by the unadulterated hope he has now.
He debates taking the steps towards you before finally deciding it was necessary. When you don’t move away, he pulls you into a cautious hug, one that he’s shocked to feel returned.
“Thank you.” He whispers and you nod.
He would fix this. He swore it. This wasn’t a maybe in his head, it was necessary.

You entered the apartment and placed your keys in the dish and jacket on it’s hook, making your way into the kitchen to place your to-go food in the fridge. Jane sat at the island on the computer you shared, and you smiled.
“Hey, I picked up sandwiches for dinner. Hope that’s cool.”
“Yeah, sounds good.”
Your best friend didn’t look up, but it didn’t really bother you. Well, she was your only friend, but still.
You and Jane had been sharing the apartment for years now, The two of you working a good job to afford it and making a livable income. You had been close since high-school, due to your similar social status, but beyond the two of you, nobody was too good at making friends.
From what she had told you, Jane’s mom wasn’t around much when she was growing up. Jane was a teen pregnancy, and ever since she was born, her mom made no time for her daughter. Agatha, was her name.
Agatha came from a wealthy family, though. Her parents (Jane’s grandparents) wouldn’t allow her to use the family money for her child, much less anything else. She struggled with Jane, and therefore the two of them were ever close.
Agatha’s parents died when Jane was in high-school, so her mom inherited their wealth, but their relationship was past salvageable. At least in Jane’s eyes, it was.
Jane was always telling you about how bad of a mom Agatha was and about how you were lucky that you didn’t have to deal with someone like her. Jane didn’t understand though. You would had given anything to have someone like Agatha. Even if she wasn’t around to much, it was still better than nobody at all.

You were now setting the table for two as you pulled the sandwiches out of the fridge, also finding some strawberries to place at the table. You now were looking through the pantry for chips when you heard a knock at the door and Jane moving around to answer it.
“Mom?!” You heard at the door while you still had your head buried in the pantry. Your eyes widened at the name, never expecting to hear it in your life (in that context, at least). You thought Agatha was out of the picture. “What are you doing here?” You stayed silent as you listened from around the corner.
“Well, I think it’s long overdue that we had a talk, Jane, honey.” She sounded a little more raspy than you were expecting, but that doesn’t say much about someone who used to be an addict.
“We don’t do that, Mom. Anyways, now isn’t a good time.” You heard your friend sigh. The woman was your literal mother... you could at least give her five minutes, you thought.
“I want to start, honey. Please just let me in?”
“You have got to be kidding me.”
“C’mon, kiddo.” She begged, and you felt a little bad for how Jane was acting. You know her mom wasn’t a great person, but she was still her mom.
You never got to have one of those.
“If this is just you on another one of your sobriety stunts...”
“I’m really trying this time, Jane! I know I fucked up, baby, but please.”
“Fine.” Your friend grumbled. You heard increasing footsteps and your heart raced as you were about to meet the source of Jane’s complaints and drama.
You hurried to sit at the kitchen counter before the two women caught you snooping, but your gaze snaps up just in time to see Agatha Harkness walk into the room.
Jane might have always mentioned that her mother was any and all variations of a bitch, but she failed to mention how attractive the woman was. Her messy brown hair sat on top of an old purple cardigan and worn out jeans, followed by a pair of well-used slip-on shoes. The look together was not extremely flattering, but Agatha somehow pulled it together in a way that made your stomach turn. Your eyes raked her down, but you think she caught you when you met her gaze again. She smirked softly.
“Oh, I didn’t realize you had guests!” She says as her own eyes follow your figure, and you wonder if she’s just doing it to mock you or flatter you. She looks back up with a glimmer in her eye, and you decide on the latter option. Your face goes red, but you try and brush her actions off, not wanting to mistake it for anything else.
“Didn’t I say that this was a bad time?” Jane grumbled.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Harkness. My name is YN.” You smiled as you held out your hand.
“Call me Agatha, darling.” She stared into your eyes. “It’s so nice to finally meet one of Jane’s friends.” You panic under her gaze.
“We were just about to sit down for dinner, if you want to join us. We don’t have any food for you, but-“
“Oh, thank you... I was hoping I could talk to Jane in private, though.” She walked over to the table and took a seat.
“Whatever you have to say to me, you can say it to YN, too.” The two of you joined Agatha at the table.
A long moment of awkward silence passsed between the three of you before your guest finally spoke up.
“I want you in my life, Jane. For real this time.”
Nobody says anything, and dishes stop clattering.
“I know I shoulda done this earlier... hell, I shoulda done this when I got claim to my parent’s money, but I want to look after you. I never got the chance to do that when you were young... cause of all the drinking and working... but I can do that now. I’m ready.”
Jane sat with her mouth open and a half eaten sandwich forgotten on her plate.
“No, Mom, you shoulda done this from the moment I was conceived. You don’t get a second chance with me. I’m not giving you a second chance, or a third or a fourth or whatever number you wanna give yourself. You wanna know why? It’s because I already did that. And you let me down every single time.”
Agatha looked a little speechless.
“Fine, then.” She sighed. “I won’t bother you again.” But it hurt you to watch a daughter turn away her mother, when that was an opportunity that you wanted so badly. “Is it alright if I stay the night, though? It’s a long drive back to my place.”
Jane rolled her eyes, knowing that her mother was being dramatic, but didn’t want to put up with any more of her antics. “I better not see you in the morning. YN can get blankets for the couch.”

“Hey, Jane,” You sighed as you entered her room.
“Hey, YN. I’m sorry you had to deal with the shit show that is my mother. I can’t believe she just walked in here and expected me to accept her pathetic invitation.”
“No, it’s ok. She’s not that bad with me.”
“Well she just met you. I just don’t understand why she thought showing up unannounced would magically make me want a mother again. It’s fucked up.” Jane said, but you couldn’t sit there and watch her tear down something that you wish you had.
“Yeah,” you mumbled and rushed out of her room before she could say anything else.
You walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass, then headed over to the sink for some tap water. The cool liquid rushed down your throat as you held down your tears, thankful that nobody was around.
“Hey, Honey,”
Shit. You forgot that Agatha was on the couch.
You turn around to see her meeting your gaze, although her eyes quickly found the way to the rest of your body.
“You doing alright, babygirl?” The nickname made you heat up. She spoke with concern and care; something that Jane chose to ignore, which made you feel bad for Agatha. You wish that Jane wouldn’t take for granted what her mother was trying to offer her.
“Uh... yeah... I guess.” You sigh, hopping up to sit on the counter as you watch the other woman fill her own glass at the sink. “Jane is just... being a little hard right now.” You chose your words carefully, not wanting to lose the trust of your friend but also wanting to gain the trust of another.
“What do you mean?” You realize the situation you have put yourself in.
“It’s just... I didn’t have a mom at all growing up. Or a dad. I had my shitty uncle... until he tossed me into the foster system. I had it real rough... and it still kinda is... but Jane has been helping. That’s why we’re friends at least. She might view me as a charity project, but i’m desperate, I guess.”
“What does all of this have to do with Jane being hard, hon?” She leaned onto the counter across from you.
“She didn’t really have a mom, either... growing up. No offense.”
Agatha shrugged. “I know.”
“But now that she’s given an opportunity to have one, she turns it down... and it makes me jealous. Mad. Angry.” You pause. “I know I’ll never get the chance at a mom, but she has one. And fuck, I would give so much to have that.”
“To have someone like me? A recovering drunk who treated their teen pregnancy like a joke?”Agatha sighed into her hands, but her words meant so much more to you than she may ever know.
“Yeah. To have someone like you. Someone who cares.” At that, she looked up with a new light in her eyes, but you don’t meet her gaze. You don’t want her to see the blush or desire written on your face, so instead, you pull a cigarette out from your jacket pocket.
She watches you as you hop down from the counter to get the lighter out of the junk drawer, paying attention to the way your body moves. You notice how her eyes follow you, but you don’t call her out on it, knowing you would do the same if the roles were reversed.
“You want a hit?” You lift your eyebrow as you raise the smoke to meet her gaze. A glint of humor is caught on her face, and you smirk.
“Sure... why not.” She says as you join her in leaning up against the counter. You bring the cigarette up to your mouth and click the lighter.
“So,” Agatha starts again, both of you a few puffs in. “How did you end up here with Jane?”
“Uhh... we met senior year of high-school. I was fucked up. Shit grades. Wasn’t going to graduate. Drug money to pay off... no job. Jane used your money to pay off my debt. She found me a job. Tutored me. Like I said, I felt like a charity project. But at least I graduated. We both work now and pay for this place together. Maybe it’s not great but we’re both better off than we were a few years ago.”
“Why didn’t she accept anything I tried to give her? Did she tell you?” Agatha was prying, but you didn’t mind.
“You mean after high-school? She didn’t want any help from you. In her words exactly... ‘She wasn’t there for me for the first 18 years of my life, so why should she help out now...’”
“And what do you think about that?”
“I didn’t grow up poor, Agatha. I grew up with nothing. I would have taken any of your offers in a heartbeat, no matter how guilty they made me feel.”
“Good girl.” She nearly whispers, and you turned to face her, but you couldn’t make anything out of the expression written on her face. Your own skin was hot and something was burning in your core, and you didn’t know what to think.
“I’m sorry... what did you just say?” You watched as she put the cigarette out, now giving you her undivided attention.
“So tell me, honey, do you have a boyfriend? I’m assuming a pretty thing like you would have one. Tell me about him.” Part of you wondered where this conversation was going, but the other part assumed that she already knew which direction you leaned in.
“Uhh... not my type.” You stared at her with curiosity.
“So you got a girlfriend, then?” Her new confidence shocked you a little bit.
“Uhh... no.” You tilted your head, and she seemed to pick up on your confusion.
“Good girl.” Your mouth was dry. “You see, mommy doesn’t want you having a girlfriend... no, she wants you all to herself.”
Your eyes widen in shock, but your core aches and cheeks burn. You stare at the woman next to you as a hand slides onto your thigh.
“Oh come on, darling. You said you wanted a mommy, baby. I wanna take care of you. I see the way you look at me. Don’t deny you want me too.” She spins around and pins you to the counter, and you audibly gulp.
“But- Jane.” You whine, already being driven crazy by the proximity of Agatha’s body.
“Jane is kicking me out, baby girl. And you can come live with me. Mommy has a pretty house, honey. I can feed you, clothe you... make you feel good. I can make you feel special.” And God, your soul was ready to leave your body. You wanted this. You could hardly think as her soft lips grazed over the skin on your neck, and a soft moan escaped your throat. Her tongue and teeth pulled at the skin just below your ear, trying to pull a response out of you.
“Mom!” The both of you jumped at the third voice in the room. The two of you turn to Jane in shock. “What the FUCK are you doing!” She rushed over to the two of you, pulling Agatha off of your body. “You can’t just come into my life and try to fuck my friends after someone rejects you!” She pushes her mom back and turns to you.
“Oh my god, YN, are you ok? I cannot believe that she tried to touch you. God, that makes me sick.” She hugged you, but you still couldn’t say anything.
“Jane, honey, you don’t know-“
“Shut up! I can’t even look at you! Get out of my house, mom. I never want to see you again.” Jane’s face turned red with anger.
“Honey-“ Agatha met eyes with you, but you didn’t know what to do.
“Leave! Now.” She seethed and stomped back to the bedroom, expecting Agatha to be gone when she got back.
The woman in front of you moved silently while you still processed what just happened. When she returned with her belongings, she gave you a note, but headed out without saying a word.
After a few minutes, you finally looked at the piece of paper in hand.
If you ever make up your mind...

“YN, are you sure you’re alright? I really never would have expected my mom to touch you or even make you feel uncomfortable. I’m so sorry.” Jane sighed as she sat on the bed.
“I’m fine, J. You don’t have to apologize on her behalf.” You replied, sitting on the chair opposite her.
“I mean what even happened. Why did she do that?”
“Umm... I don’t know. We were just talking and then she started that.”
“What we’re you talking about?”
“Oh, I was just explaining how we met.” You tentatively answered.
“YN you didn’t have to tell her that. I know it’s personal for you, I can’t believe she forced you to talk about it.
“I uhh- actually didn’t mind. I wasn’t forced.”
“Then why would you trust her with something like that? You know how she is.”
“Because...” You thought about your next words carefully. “She cares.” Jane scoffs.
“That must be a different woman we’re talking about, YN. My mom is a selfish bitch who only cares for herself.”
That tipped the iceberg for you.
“You know, Jane? I understand that you and her might never be besties like she wants you to be, but that doesn’t mean you get to fuck her over now that she’s trying.” Your friend looks up at you in shock.
“Well she fucked me over my entire life, so I don’t see why I can’t do the same.”
“Because! Jane! She’s changed! It’s only right that you give her one more shot in your life!”
She took a pause.
“I’m sorry, YN, are you defending my MOM? After everything she’s done to me, and everything i’ve done for you?!”
“Yes. It is sick watching you throw something away that I can only dream of.” You spat angrily.
“Geez, YN. Just- get out of my fucking house. Keep your rent money for the month. Pack your shit and get the hell out of here.” She nearly ran out of the room.
But you weren’t surprised. In fact, you expected this the moment you chose your side.

The knocks resonate through the large door attached to the even larger house. Agatha has money.
You thought Jane was over exaggerating a little bit, but now you understood that she wasn’t. You sighed as your cab sped away, and now all you could do was wait.
Agatha opened the door, slightly shocked to see you, but nevertheless happy.
“Hey baby, what is it?”
You took a deep breath, taking in the sight of the woman who stood in front of you.
“I want you to make me feel special, mommy.”
