Danny ran away.
The classic reveal didn’t go right/ the GIW is hunting to him/ everyone is dead. You pick.
He’s alone. In Gotham. With nothing.
Staying in the city makes sense, right? Except for the crazy rogues he doesn’t want to get involved in or the straight up normal humans dressing up to fight them. Danny wasn’t touching that with a 10 foot pole. So he travelled further to the outskirts where he hoped to find a cabin some rich family only stays in for the summer.
Instead he finds rich mansions hidden back in the trees with big tall gates keeping everyone out. Most had people living there (he checked), all except for this one.
He’s only seen a kid, maybe ten, go in and out for school and sneaking out late at night.
Danny thinks he’s smart, sneaking in to snag some food and rest a bit when he knows the kid is gone. He doesn’t account for if the boy comes back earlier than normal.
Wide, surprised eyes meet wide, panicked eyes. Danny doesn’t even shove the next bite of Mac and Cheese in his mouth before he’s booking it to the nearest window.
“Wait!” Danny doesn’t wait. “You don’t have to go!”
Danny slows to a stop. Um, what?
He turns to give the boy a look but he doesn’t cringe back. The kid steps forward, almost impulsively.
“You’re the one who’s been stealing food and sleeping in the guest bedroom in the west wing, right?”
How the heck did he know where Danny was taking a nap? He always made sure to fix the bed when he left.
The boy continues without any answer.
“You don’t have to keep hiding. You can stay. I’ll provide you food and clothes and you can pick whatever room you want to stay in.”
Danny doesn’t know what’s gotten into the kid, but he suddenly feels flat footed and so off balanced.
“Why?” He asks incredulously. Why do all that for him? Why trust a strange teenager in his home? Why bother with him? He’s obviously homeless and has been stealing from him.
The boy’s lips thin slightly like he doesn’t want to say. Like he’s embarrassed.
Instead he says, “You had dozens of chances to steal any of the priceless artifacts in this house, but instead you only steal enough food for yourself and to rest.”
Okay. Yea, that was technically true and he could see the boy is thinking he figured out Danny’s personality by just that (it reminds him of Jazz how confident the kid is), but that doesn’t mean he’s trustworthy!
He goes to tell the kid off for thinking he knows anything about some random teen that keeps breaking into his house, but then notices the way the boy is holding himself.
“You’re hurt.”
The boy jolts like he wasn’t expecting Danny to notice at all. He looks down and adjusts his weight a bit.
“Uh…”
“Did you twist your ankle?” Danny guesses.
The boy mutely nods, looking at him with wide eyes with too much emotion to decipher.
“Well come sit down, don’t keep standing on it, dummy.”
The boy quickly makes his way over to sit delicately on the edge of the couch cushion. Danny goes to the freezer where he knows he saw an ice pack once when he was going through it.
Danny helps the kid turn and lay back until he can elevate the foot under a pillow and set the cold ice pack over the sock. The boy is still staring at him with those wide, intense eyes.
“Ice it for a while and after you take a shower I’ll wrap it for you. Where’s your first aid kit?”
“The first floor bathroom.”
“Which one? You have three.”
“Four actually. You missed the one in the laundry room.”
Danny gives him a look.
“Kid.”
“Tim,” the boy corrects happily. “My name is Tim. Timothy Drake.”
Danny just looks back for a few moments at what is undoubtedly a flicker of hope in those blue eyes. He sighs.
“I’m Danny.”
And a weird friendship was born. Or more of a sibling-ship? Brotherhood? They teeter over the line of friend and family daily.
Danny did stay and Tim was thrilled to have someone else in the house, someone that wasn’t cold or professional towards him. They played games together and joked and taught each other things.
Danny was good at fixing anything that was broken and was the one to do any errands while Tim was at school. He was also the one who had to teach Tim how to be a brother.
Tim on the other hand seemed to be good at everything but letting himself relax. He was a hyper and intelligent kid whose mind was always active, so Danny had to accommodate and come up with crazy games and tasks for the boy in the disguise of requests, but he also made the boy sit down with him to watch crappy movies and just relax together.
They had fun, but they also had bumps and misunderstands. Danny nearly blew his top when Tim snuck out to spy on Batman and Robin without telling him (and wasn’t that a conversation to remember when the Danny found out what he was really doing at night). And Tim had a problem with lying to try and make Danny not worry, which ended up doing the opposite.
They got through those hiccups together though because they were both too possessive to let the other go that easily.
Tim created a fake identity for Danny saying they were cousins. The same black hair and blue eyes kinda sold it with a backstory of Danny’s mother being disowned by Janet’s parents. Jack and Janet weren’t home enough (or invested enough) to confirm or deny.
It was funny though watching Tim stare after Jason Todd-Wayne longingly for a while, but enough was enough. If Tim secretly wanted to befriend his idol, then Danny would make it happen. And he did of course. He made friends with the butler after ‘losing’ a frisbee in their yard and asked if they could get together for dinner one night so Tim and Jason could hang out outside of school. Alfred obviously knew Danny was pushing for Tim’s sake, but he still agreed easily enough.
So became a normal for the Wayne’s and the Drake’s to eat dinner together at least once a month. And after many meetings Danny mentally checked them off as ‘okay enough for vigilantes’ and stayed behind while the two younger boys ran off to go play a game before they headed home next door.
“Mr. Wayne?”
“Come now, you know you can call me Bruce, Danny,” the man smiles. It’s a little too wide, but Danny understands he’s still trying to put on the Brucie mask. He really wish he wouldn’t.
“Right, Bruce.” He fidgets for a second with his hoodie strings and he can feel Bruce’s attention zero in on the motion. “I need to ask you a favor.”
The air turns tense with the silence after that.
“What’s wrong, Danny? Is everything okay?”
“Everything’s fine! Promise. I just- I just need you to promise me something. Please.”
Danny felt so awkward. He has never relied on an adult before, always doing everything himself or with other kids, something Tim and him have in common. So to turn to Bruce Wayne was out of character, but he wasn’t really. He was asking Batman, and him Danny could trust a little more.
“Promise you what?”
Danny could hear the barely covered suspicion in his voice.
“If- If something happens and I’m not around anymore, I need you to take Tim in,” he states, looking at the man full on to show how serious a matter this was.
The man stares back equally serious.
“What would happen to you? Are you in some kind of trouble?” Bruce asks.
Danny shakes his head hard.
“I’m not into drugs, Bruce. Or a gang or gambling or anything like that okay? I don’t owe any debt someone’s coming after me for. I just need insurance, some piece of mind that if something did happen that meant I couldn’t take care of Tim, there would be someone to look after him.”
Bruce stares back, thinking, for several moments.
“Tim has parents, Danny, I don’t know what you expect me to do. And what do you mean you take care of him? Don’t you boys have a caretaker?”
“Of course we don’t. We look after each other, but I’m the oldest. His parents are never home. I’m not exaggerating, they were in Gotham for only fifty-four days last year. They missed Tim’s birthday, holidays, everything. He’s still a kid, he needs someone to be there for him and if I’m suddenly gone then he has no one. Promise me that won’t happen. Promise me you’ll take him in, that you’ll figure out a way to keep him with you so he at least has Jason and you and Alfred.”
Bruce is silent for a while and Danny knows what he’s struggling with. He didn’t really want to use his trump card, but desperate measures.
“We already know who you are. You don’t have to worry about him finding out your secret.”
All traces of the Brucie mask drops at that confession and Batman analyzes him.
“How?”
“Tim is a really smart kid,” he just says with a fond smile. “He’s known for a while too, so you know he won’t go blabbing to the media or whatever.”
“What about you?”
“If I wanted to blackmail you, don’t you think I would have led with that? I don’t care what you do in your free time, but it’s not my business to tell.”
Danny shrugs and tries not to squirm under being scrutinized.
“Since you know who I am, if you are in trouble or ever need help, you can come to me.”
Danny blinks.
“Yea, that’s what I’m doing. So do you promise?”
Bruce nods once, very controlled.
“Yes. I promise you that I will take care of Tim Drake if anything happens to you,” the man vows solemnly.
Danny smiles back, shoulders sagging in relief.
“Thank you.”
When Danny somehow saves Jason from dying, and two months later goes missing, Bruce has to honor that promise while also tracking down the teenager to bring home to a very distraught Tim.

In The Break | Mat Barzal
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: the Barzal house is at its breaking point without their key member their to save the day.
request: yes/no
warnings: swearing, grammar that I think a four year old would use.
word count: 2.09k
authors note: this is officially probably one of my favourite (soft) things that I’ve written. Like I can’t get over how cute everyone is. But like weirdly enough I can’t tell if I acc like this so I’m just going to how that it had the luna stamp of approval.
Tumblr media
You didn’t think would had ever been more excited to have Mat back home as you were in that moment.
Tilly had been teething and James wanted his father at every waking moment.
Your energy was practically nonexistent as your one year old wasn’t sleeping through the night and that meant that you weren’t either.
It seemed that all three of you were at your wits end and as both kids were sat in the playroom with Tilly sporting her red swollen cheeks. James had gone on about how he couldn’t wait to see his father you knew you were being stupid but it hurt you hearing his praise as he had done nothing but spew the negative words that were in your four year olds Arsenal.
You tried to brush his hair wanting to get him ready for the day “I’m home!” Mat called out as he opened the front door making both kids turn their heads in the direction of him.
Before you knew it you were shoved to the ground as they both seemed to finally behave as they stopped their negative moods “hi baby!” Mat cooed as he crouched down and wrapped his arms around the boy.
Tilly waddled after her brother causing her father to gasp at her improved abilities at walking “where is mama?” The hockey player’s eyes lit up as he saw you tuck your hair behind your ears.
A smile formed on Mat’s lips as he so effortlessly held the children to his sides “hi pretty lady.” It seemed that he didn’t take note of the dark circles that lay under your eyes “was thinking we could go get ice cream with them?” His words cause the kids to cheer as Mat kissed your lips.
That was honestly the last thing you needed to hear. Both kids had won the battle of avoiding nap time until their father got home “Til hasn’t had her nap yet.” You pointed out with a sigh.
You weren’t expecting any shut eye during this time as Mat had been gone for two weeks and you did miss your husband. But you knew that if both kids didn’t try for their naps you would be the one to truly pay the price later on “they won’t be that bad.” As all three sent you a smile you couldn’t help but sigh as you nodded conceding defeat.
It was almost like you could have been a fortune teller. Tilly had cried herself to sleep as she was so grumpy without her teddy that not even Mat’s arms could put her mind at ease.
And your sweet little James had been sat on his fathers lap with every chance he could get.
So now you were not only sleep deprived but you were also feeling neglected.
Mat loved seeing how his kids looked up at him but as he held James in his arms and had Tilly in the carrier as you walked ahead of them to the front door.
Getting Tilly to sleep was easy as you simply placed her in her cot where Mat offered to take over in changing her into her pyjamas. James on the other hand began to have a fit as he realised that his father was nowhere in sight as you sat down on his bed with a book “daddy daddy daddy!” He complained kicking his legs “J daddy is with Tilly right now.” You sighed opening the book.
Yet that seemed to aggravate your son further “I want daddy not you.” Again you knew that James didn’t know the gravity of his words but in that moment you wanted to just break down.
You tried to ignore him as you began reading “I hate you momma where’s daddy!” Having children was another moment of learning how to bite your tongue and you had been doing so much better “you think I want to be here either!” You yelled back finally letting your anger go “I’m tired and for the last two weeks you have treated me like I’m not here!” As James flinched your eyes went wide.
Not once in the four years of being his mom had you ever raised your voice “J I’m-” before you could reach out to apologise Mat walked in “daddy!” James cheered.
Mat sent you a look of concern as you got up “think he wants you to read this.” You mumbled shoving the book into his hands as you let the door shut behind you “momma always said this was a book huh?” Mat smiled as he nestled into the mattress as James rested against him.
Guilt drowned you as you sat with your hands around your knees letting the warm water from the shower land on your back before the droplets slowly dripped down your skin. Tears painted your cheeks as you so badly just wanted to wake up and see that this was all just some bad dream “baby?” Mat called out as he walked into the bedroom.
It didn’t take him long to realise that you were in the shower “shit y/n!” Your husband didn’t care that he walked into the shower with all of his clothes still on.
In one quick movement Mat helped you up before he pulled you into a hug “Mat!” You cried as the hockey player reached behind you to turn the shower off.
Your tears soaked his shirt as you realised all the things you are frustrated about, not being able to make Tilly feel better as she teethed, James deciding that he hated you and how you let it get to you. But most of all how Mat came in and ruined the schedule you set with the kids.
Usually you wouldn’t have cared if they missed a day but you were tired and felt unloved and for that you let it irritate you today.
So you pushed Mat away as he handed you a towel “baby?” He was surprised to see the glare you sent him as you wiped your eyes.
Mat stood there with wide eyes “you went against me today.” The only rule you had about being parents was that you two had to remain united and that’s kind of hard when he ignores your scheduling.
He remained silent as you continued “how am I meant to keep it together here when you come in and play god or some shit becoming their favourites all over again.” You knew you were being stupid but it made you want to cry as you thought about it when your throat grew tight.
The hockey player scoffed “sorry that when I don’t see the kids for two weeks I want to go do something fun with them!” He felt like your statement was beyond aggressive as it quickly turned into a screaming match “Mat I told you that they needed to sleep and you still went with what you wanted!” Before he could even think about his rebuttal the baby monitor went off.
Tilly’s cries pulled your attention away from your husband “I would go but I’d hate to fuck with her sleep schedule.” Mat’s words had you rolling your eyes as you wrapped the towel around your body “fuck off Mat.” You spat shaking your head as you walked out of your room and down the hall to hers.
Her eyes grew full as she turned her head to see you “hi my love.” You cooed picking her small body up letting her head rest against your shoulder.
Usually you weren’t one for picking her up and rather just showing her that you were there but tonight you needed a hug from someone who seemed happy to see you.
So you two stood like that for fifteen minutes as your gentle swaying of your body caused her to finally settle “good night my girl.” You placed her back into her crib before you brought your fingers to your lip kissing them before you let them press softly on her forehead.
The darkness of the hallway back to your room reminded you of the state that of chaos that you had left Mat in.
You nervously chewed at the inside of your cheek before you took a final deep breath and pushed the door open.
Mat seemed like a shell of himself as he had the baby cam in his hand as he replayed the footage of you humming some random rhyme as Tilly fell asleep “I never know how you do that with her.” Mat blurted out as you were always the one to save them when the kids woke up in the night.
It was a taken that Mat could never even fathom as he tried everything but most of the time their own tiredness would come back and bring them into a deep sleep.
Wanting to discard the towel you found one of Mats shirts that you had folded that morning so you put that on instead of your own clothes. You remained quiet as you brought the towel to the bathroom unaware of how Mat followed you “I don’t mean to always play good cop with them it’s just that I’m not always around in the season and-” Mat rambled on as he ran his fingers through his hair.
Now your guilt about lashing out at him came out “it’s fine babe.” You shook off his thoughts as you turned to face him “no it’s not.” It was clear that the hockey player wanted you and the kids around more than he got to see you “you’re their great mom and an even greater wife to me.” His hands wrapped around your neck as you hugged him.
Somehow that contact felt different to the one from thirty minutes ago. This time it was with love and care as he watched you smile when his lips pressed against your head “you deserve to be treated better than you are.” Mat had tried coming up with the lecture for James but he didn’t know how to do it without getting angry at his son.
Sure two years ago James was a total momma’s boy who refused to be with anyone who wasn’t you but Mat knew that if James spoke to him the way he had spoken to you, Mat would have lost it.
Maybe it sounded stupid but you had both gone through your insecure moments with the kids and you were now realising that “can we go to bed then?” You yawned finally wanting that sleep that you had waited so long for.
Mat laughed as he nodded “let’s go.” He watched as you pulled him out of the room back into your bedroom where your bed was a sight for sore eyes.
The next morning you woke up to the sound of giggles and Bluey blaring through the speakers of the tv downstairs. Mat wasn’t next to you so he had obviously woken up to spend time with the kids.
You yawned stretching out as you smiled to yourself letting your back comfortably rest on the mattress “momma?” A soft voice came from the door causing you to look up.
James stood there with his plushie that Tito had brought him back from Vancouver over the summer “hi J,” before you could say anything more your eldest was running into your room as he jumped onto your bed and quickly into your arms.
The sight warmed your heart “what is it my baby?” You cooed running your fingers through his hair “I love you,” James looked up at you with tears in his eyes causing you to frown.
Your finger wiped at his cheek “I love you so much love why are you crying?” You didn’t mean for your words to come out confused as you tried to soothe the boy.
James fiddled with your bracelet, a habit he picked up watching you do it when you were nervous “sorry I yell at you in room.” Your mom had told you that you were going to have moments where you knew you were a good parent and this felt like it was that.
You gave the boy a squeeze as you kissed the top of his head “I’m sorry too.” You mumbled with both you turning to the door as you heard someone walk up the stairs “you two got room for two more?” Mat asked as he pressed a kiss to Tilly’s cheek drawing a giggle from her lips.
The sight gave you so much joy as your heart felt full “always.”

Can I request the brothers reacting to mc saying i love you to them for the first time.
yessssss ❤️
Saying "I love you" for the first time
Lucifer:
You have been dating for months and you are yet to tell him you love him. It doesn't matter as your actions tell him every single day about your devotion. In your defense, he is also too proud to say it out loud. Maybe you two deserve each other after all, Just Say It Already, Damn. Today he could manage to take you out for dinner, ushered you home and made sure you felt good&loved, if you know what I mean. You were laying on your side, your hand holding your head up as he was getting under the blanket to put himself away.
"I love you, Lucifer. Thank you for today, I enjoyed every minute."
"I'm so glad. I love you too, y/n."
Now that it is finally over, he will be sure to remind you every day; he loves you, most ardently.
Mammon:
You were taking a stroll around town with him; you were a little tipsy which made you a little braver than usual. He took you to a place up top, where you could see the entire city from.
-Careful y/n, anything you say here echoes in the city, so keep quiet!
- Nu-uh, stop being so silly, no way it echoes here... see... I LOVE YOU MAMMON!
-What- Shhh- Human what you doing- damnit-
-Want me to do it again?
-....... you kidding me? sure but... this time only I wanna hear it.
Before you had the chance to say it again his lips were already on yours, his arms pulling you really close to him. (It did, in fact, echo on that part.)
Leviathan:
It was time for the annual cuddle break from his game. It took him weeks to get this comfortable with you, he sure did believe you were faking everything to prank him, for days. It took you consistent effort to prove him otherwise; that's why you were careful not to say it too soon. His head was laying on your chest, all was quiet for a second, both of you feeling peace surrounding you for once. Perfect timing.
"I love you." Then there was silence. You felt him squeeze you a bit, as if you could get any closer to him. He mumbled something you couldn't catch.
Satan:
He took you out to a local cat coffee. The date went really well, the cats were playful and the company was perfect. On the way home it started to rain; you might have stayed longer in the coffee than you intended, so of course you got caught. Thankfully he had an umbrella on him; you suspect he was expecting this situation to happen. You scooted very close to him to fit under his only umbrella. He haven't said anything for a couple of minutes when you broke the silence.
"I love you so much."
His steps slowed down a bit, turning himself to look at you.
"And I love you even more." He gave you a quick kiss on your forehead.
Asmodeus:
He had a long day today, he had to buy new clothes; the new season is here and he must keep up with fashion! You were at his room as he was giving you a spontaneous catwalk show in his new clothes. Of course he looked adorable in everything. You were sitting there cheering him on, - Another 10/10, you look so stunning Asmo!
- You think so? Don't you think green would look better on me?
- Oh come on now. You are breathtaking in every color. I love you.
He smiled, a very genuine smile in fact, and didn't hesitate to kiss you then and there.
Beelzebub:
He was strong enough to pull you closer to him as you were just a bit too far, both of you on the couch of the Common Room, watching a comedy. He kept stealing short kisses from you the entire time, needing your touch the most.
"I love you, you know." You could swear you saw his eyes tear up just a little bit.
"I love you too." He made sure you wouldn't see his face for the rest of the movie. Was extra cuddly with you that night.
Belphegor:
Today was awful for you and at this point all you wanted was a nap with your favourite person here. He promised to help you fall asleep; laying behind you he was stroking your hair from the front to the back, slowly and carefully. You were almost asleep when you quietly muttered;
"I love you." You couldn't see his expression but you sure heard a giggle from him.
"I love you too. Now, just relax and fall asleep."

BIG BROTHER'S HERE ● Older brother!Suguru & Baby sibling!Reader
Tumblr media
You've been having nightmares about monsters lurking in your closet for a couple of days now. Suguru, your older brother, knows something is wrong with you.
Pairings: Platonic Geto Suguru & Baby sibling!Reader
Warning: Not proofread. Expect mistakes and edits!
If there's one thing Suguru had always been sure of, is that he knew you
Your parents had you when he was nine, most ten, so innocent and excited to be a big brother
He got to see you when you were just a bundle of hospital cloth, loud whines, and large eyes
No, really, your eyes took half of your face
You were the cutest thing he'd ever seen
From that day on, Suguru had sworn to be the best big brother to ever exist
He'd teach you everything he knew, help you with anything you wanted, and always protect you
Family and friends even called him your "second dad" whenever they saw Suguru putting you to sleep or feeding you or playing with you or...
Yeah, the kid loved being glued to you
Sure, he still had friends and his own interests like any other kid his age
But Suguru would rather be caught dead than to give up chances to spend time with you
He even begged his parents to let him take you outside in your stroller for sunlight and fresh air
It took then a little bit, but they eventually allowed him
Their neighborhood was safe, there were rarely any kidnapping cases around, and they only let him once you were one and he was eleven
As you grew up, Suguru definitely honored his promise by being the closest person to you
Always near, always helping, always nurturing
He knew your favorite type of baby food, the exact warmth you liked it at, the blankets you favored and the toys you never allowed anyone to take
Suguru would take naps with you on his chest, sing you to sleep when you woke up screaming, and play with you until you exhausted yourself
He was always there for you, especially when your parents were busy
So much so, in fact, that your first words weren't mama or papa
It was gu–gu
Yeah, some could say you were just being a baby and babbling, but he knew better
Because you had looked up at him, grabbed his hand with your tiny ones, and said it with a big smile
Don't tell anyone, but he definitely cried while hugging you
You'd eventually be able to say Sugu, then Suguru when you learned to roll your tongue, but Suguru would always hold that memory dear to his heart
And so, years passed quickly
Perhaps too quickly for your big brother, who would always feel his heart ache a little when his baby sibling didn't need help to do basic things anymore
But he was happy, overjoyed, that you grew into a happy and healthy child, always so energetic and ready for any play or challenge
Of course, you two had your disagreements at times, because kids will be kids and Suguru reached puberty when you were four and learning how to be bratty and contrary
However, compared to so many other siblings in the world, Suguru was proud to say you were definitely the closest of siblings
There wasn't a single thing he didn't know about you
That's why, now that you were seven and learning taking a more introverted personality like his own, your big brother immediately knew something was wrong with you once you started getting sleepier throughout the day
Blinking slowly, barely eating, nodding off whenever the two of you watched cartoons
And, now seventeen and keenly aware of so much evil in this world, Suguru immediately sought to fix the problem
The moment Suguru picked you up from school he knew he was going to talk to you about what was happening. It didn't seem to be the kids or teachers in your school, since the moment you walked out and saw him you were smiling and happy like aways, that rush of energy still in you from playing with your friends.
"Suguru!" You called out for him, quickly saying your goodbyes to the kids around you and running towards your tall big brother who stood out in the middle of all the waiting moms. "You're early!"
Suguru picked you up the moment you got close enough, making you squeal and giggle as he settled him on his broad back, smiling softly at how your small hands settled on his shoulders.
"We got let out earlier," He explained and waved a quick polite greeting at your teacher before leaving, beginning the trek back home. "Satoru wanted to go to the arcade but I missed my baby today."
You giggled again, a sound that never failed to make Suguru relax and forget all his troubles, if only for a moment, and rested your head in the crook of his neck. "'Toru is a big baby, not me!"
"Hmm, maybe you're both babies?"
"No, not me, 'Toru," You shook your head and Suguru avoided people walking around easily, being so tall and nimble had its advantages. "I'm getting bigger and bigger, and Toru acts like a child when I do not."
Well, he couldn't argue with that.
Instead, Suguru started asking you about your day like he always did and, like he expected, you couldn't even make it through half of your rant about the teacher taking away the yellow sharpies from everyone before falling asleep on his back, completely out.
Which, that in itself wouldn't be bad, but you used to spend hours after school talking his ears off, drawing, and insisting to watch cartoons. He sighed and moved you to his front, hugging you to his chest protectively, so worried he could feel a headache stab the back of his head.
Suguru was a special grade sorcerer, top of the class, and the most reliable when it came to problem solving skills, but most of all Suguru was the best big brother there is and he was going to fix whatever was wrong with you.
Like he always did.
That day, after you napped for a couple of hours, Suguru sat you down on the couch once he made sure you ate and showered
While he detangled your hair from the mess it had became in School, he started slow
Asking you if there was anything going on these days
If you were having any troubles in school
Maybe a bully or a new interest that was keeping you up?
It took a bit of digging, because Unfortunately, you two were very much alike
Which meant you also hid your anxieties and problems, even if Suguru always ended up finding out anyway
With a couple of deep breaths, you explained why you hadn't been able to sleep these days
Every night for the past week, you were getting nightmares
Nightmares about monsters, hideous creatures that would suck people's happiness then eat them bit by bit
And every time you woke up gasping and afraid, the door to your closet was open the slighest bit
Hesitantly, like you were afraid of being called a liar or made fun of, you told you brother you swore you saw something inside
Watching you. Waiting for something. Hungry.
And Suguru?
Not once did Suguru stop gently brushing your hair, keeping his hands steady and movements soft, which had a calming effect on you
But god, he could feel his body shaking under his skin
Fury threatening to bubble and spill over
Because those vivid nightmares, your exhaustion, the way you always looked so drained each morning...
He knew exactly what that meant and he couldn't possibly be angrier
Instead of scaring you with the face he was doing, Suguru started drying your hair, and once you finished talking, he hugged you close, comforting you
"It's alright, little one, I got you, big brother's got you."
That night, Suguru easily convinced you to have a sleepover in his room, full of your favorite stuffed animals and blankets
And when you were all tuckered out after talking tons and watching your favorite movie, snoring softly under Suguru's heavy covers, the teen left his room quietly
Slowly, he made his way towards yours
Shadows followed his every step, licking at his feet and dancing with each breath he took
The air shifted as he made his way inside, closing your door behind you, like it knew he was there
He pulled the door to your closet open, his movements ghostly as rage made his purple eyes almost glow in the night
The curse inside, a weak, puny thing he hadn't been able to sense, trembled under the taste of his erratic cursed energy
So pathetic and small
Fucking inconsequential
That thing dared to mess with his baby sibling
Make his baby sibling lose sleep as it sucked happiness and energy
So he did it slowly
Ripped it in pieces, bit by bit, until it was but a splatter on the floor
That night, he went back to his room after washing his hands and face, heart beating fast from the hatred coursing through his veins
Suguru lifted the blankets and tucked himself by your side, pulling you gently until he was curled around you
Then, only then, as you slept fitfully in his arms, safe and peaceful, he was able to calm down and relax
He would do better, grow stronger, kill every curse that dared to step food in a 100 mile radious of you
But Suguru knew there needed to be change
Curses had to disappear completely, one way or another
And Suguru would find a way, if not for the safety of his friends, then for yours
He would never let anything hurt you
No matter the cost

could you do a robin buckley x theatre kid!reader?? i think it would be so cute if maybe robin has seen her in the school musicals and stuff but was always too shy to talk to her!!
Spotlight
Tumblr media
summary: robin sees you in one of your shows and gets a little crush on you... warnings: fem! reader, theatre kid *vine boom sound*, I wrote this on my phone while at my show’s rehearsal too lol (which means this is also not proofread) word count: 1k notes: as a theatre kid, thank you for this request lol
Robin didn’t want to necessarily see the musical, but if it meant getting out of math class, she didn’t mind. She was sat in the middle of the audience and thought she was going to take a quick nap, then the music started and you came out. Alone, in the spotlight.
As you started to sing, Robin was immediately hooked. Not on the show, on you. Your voice, your presence, your looks. She felt her heart race and her face blush as you continued with your song, pacing the stage as your cast-mates joined you.
She didn’t even think about a nap or anything else while you were on stage. Your performance was captivating, holding not only Robin’s attention, but everyone in the audience’s. Even if you weren’t singing or apart of a scene, if you were in the background, Robin’s eyes were on you.
Intermission came and went, but Robin couldn’t wait for act two to start and to see you perform more.
Robin didn’t consider herself a big theater fan. She loved movies, but she wasn’t interested in seeing live theater that often. Maybe if Steve or the kids dragged her, just not on her own free time.
Act two came and went. Robin stood with everyone else as they applauded, her eyes locked on you as you took your bow. You and your cast-mates left the stage and the lights came back up. Robin filed out of her row and into the isle, following her peers out of the auditorium.
Once in the lobby, she started down the hall to go back to class, but she stopped when she saw you. You were walking arm-in-arm with a co-star, laughing and still in your costume. Robin’s heart skipped a beat as her feet planted her where she was.
When you passed by her, she finally spoke up.
“Hey,” she said quietly, but it caught your attention. You stopped and turned to look at her, a soft smile on your face. “Y-you did really good.”
Your smile grew wider. “Thank you.”
You held her gaze for a few more moments before your co-star pulled you into the crowd, leaving Robin blushing and falling for you.
———
Robin suddenly wanted to go to every show, more specifically, the shows you were in. It didn’t matter if you were the star, the supporting role, or in the ensemble, Robin wanted to see you. She didn’t know any of the shows, but it was worth it.
Steve noticed her new hobby, and brought it up one day as he drove her to work.
“So…you’re into theater now, huh?” He asked, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.
“Yeah, I-“ Robin started, but quickly stopped herself. “Why are you bringing this up?”
Steve hummed, “I think someone has a little crush.”
His sing-songs voice made her roll her eyes.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I do, though,” he replied. “Your actress crush came in to the store on your day off with a friend. I overheard them talking about you, specifically she was talking about you.”
“And? What did she say?” Robin quickly perked up.
“‘Don’t know what I’m talking about’, huh?” He teased, earning a slap on the arm from her. “Fine! She thought you were cute and wanted to talk to you after her shows, but you always leave before she can.”
Robin leaned back in her seat, her gaze turning to the window. Maybe there was a chance that you liked her back, just a little bit. The thought of talking to you gave her butterflies, you had left her a bit starstruck.
“Earth to Robin!” Steve said loudly, waving his hand in front of her face.
She blinked and looked back over at him. “What?”
He laughed. “You’re totally head over heels for her.”
“I’m not!”
“You are!”
The rest of the ride consisted of Steve and Robin arguing over her little crush.
———
You excitedly scanned the crowd the best you could when you first went on. Even with the stage lights in your eyes, you spotted her in the middle seat, where she always is. Robin.
Your friend had a class with her and told you everything about her the moment you hinted at even liking her. You noticed her at your shows and you were developing a little crush on her, but she always left before you could see her after the show.
The rest of your performance went by quickly and you were the first one off stage. You were determined to catch her before she left. You raced out the door and down the hall to the lobby, watching the stream of people exiting the theater for her.
You spotted her and smiled, pushing your way through the crowd to get to her. You reached out and tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn around.
Her eyes widened and her mouth opened, but no words came out.
“Hi,” you said timidly.
“Hi,” she replied in the same tone. The crowd moved around you two, making it seem like it was just you and her.
“Y-you were great.”
“Thank you,” you answered, “I’ve seen you at all my shows, but I never catch you afterwards.”
“Yeah, I, uh, I usually have to go…” Robin said, lying through her teeth.
“Well, I’m happy I was able to catch you. I’ve been wanting to talk to you.”
“About what?”
You smiled wider and blushed. “If you want, I…I’d really like to hang out with you sometime.”
You noted the blush that dusted her cheeks.
“I-I, uh, I’d love that!” She quickly answered, stumbling over her words with how quickly she said them. She returned your smile and the two of you slipped your way away from the crowd.
“Um,” you glanced around before snatching a program from a stand and a pen. You quickly scribbled out your number on the piece of paper then handed it to her. “Here, call me and we can figure out the details.”
Robin smiled and took it. “Okay, great.”
You two stood there smiling at each other for a moment, then she pointed her thumb back. “I…I should get going.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later,” you said as you waved her goodbye. You watched her leave and sighed.
You quickly and turned to go back to your dressing room. You wanted to get out of costume and go home.
You couldn’t wait for her call.

Mc showing the brothers their senior yearbook photo, and the quote at the bottom of their picture says “Should have burned this place down when I had the chance”
“(Brother of your choice)! Come look! I found my High School yearbook from Senior Year!” You shouted. Everyone heard it, but only the brother you had called responded. You seemed so excited as you flipped through the pages to find yourself, all done up.
Tumblr media
Lucifer
He was about to comment on how nice you looked in your picture when he noticed the quote underneath. 
He let out an exasperated and exhausted sigh of disappointment. How did your school even allow this?? Surely there was some sort of error??
Don’t you dare give any of his other brothers any ideas either! The last thing he needs right now is Mammon putting something equally as stupid as his quote as well
Plus, how could you enter something like that and still have a full smile on your face whilst knowing that the quote would be underneath in the picture??
Tumblr media
Mammon
Immediately noticed the quote and started laughing because he felt the same exact way about school. He hated school with the entirety of his demonic heart
But how did you get away with this as your quote?? Didn’t you get in trouble (just wait until he finds about the trashy school systems)
He most definitely draws inspiration from your senior quote and would put something similar, which makes Lucifer angry
You both have the biggest smiles in the yearbook as well, which pisses off the eldest brother even more than he already was.
Tumblr media
Leviathan
He was about to have a nosebleed from how gorgeous you looked in the picture when he read the quote beneath
That’s when he almost started crying because he was laughing so freaking hard. There was no way your school actually allowed it
He doesn’t do anything like that for his own quote because he knows that it’s permanent and Lucifer would string him up by the tail.
He might do one of those things where you both partner in your quotes, but it will be funny instead of anything romantic.
Tumblr media
Satan
Also lets out a sigh, but it’s one of both exhaustion and amusement. Sure, it was ridiculous, but it was also funny
He does question how you were able to get that quote through the school administration, the photographers, and the people who put the yearbook together
He also doesn’t do anything like that for his quote because he would prefer to have a more romantic quote
Would probably put something about you, like how you managed to see through his anger and realize that he is Satan and not Lucifer nor Wrath
Tumblr media
Asmodeus
Honey, no! You shouldn’t have ruined such a beautiful picture like yours with the quote you put underneath!
How did your school even accept that as your quote?? Burning schools doesn’t seem very good in a yearbook
He most definitely does not do anything like that for his quote. He will have something romantic and probably about himself
That, or “bitches put on a little bit of makeup and spend the rest of their day obsessed with themselves. It’s me: I’m bitches”
Tumblr media
Beelzebub
Mans thought you looked so freaking nice in that picture until he saw the quote. Then he could see the pain behind your smile
It was a very funny quote, don’t get him wrong. But he could see how you covered your eyebags with concealer
By the way, he’s so freaking confused at how you managed to slide by administration with that as your senior quote.
For his, he would probably do something based on food… like “All pizzas are personal pizzas if you try hard enough”
Tumblr media
Belphegor
You woke him up… for this? For this ridiculous quote that you just needed to show him as he was taking one of the best naps he has ever had?
It totally wasn’t about you and him with about 2 kids, a wedding ring around your ring finger a
Sure, the quote was amusing, but why? And more importantly: how? How did you manage to get this approved?
Anyway, he’s not even going to put in a senior quote and would probably have Lucifer pick something out for him.

Miles didn’t grow up around animals or small children so he just… isn’t comfortable around either. He doesn’t know how to handle them so he tries to keep his distance. Even the friendliest of dogs makes him kind of nervous and all cats love him but they literally have knives on their feet so he doesn’t touch them, thank you very much. One time a cat crawled onto his lap when he was taking a rest on patrol and he literally sat with his entire body clenched for the entire hour it took a nap on him for. (He had to admit the purring was really cute and he started leaving out some food for the local strays after that, but he never gets too close).
Hobie, on the other hand, grew up chasing down the neighborhood dogs and trying to befriend and take home all the stray cats. He also babysat a lot because he was nice and involved in his community and all the moms loved him. Even now, he helps out around with babysitting and taking care of the street animals whenever he can. Kids and animals are just easy to read and understand and they have no concept of what society wants for them, they’re just purely themselves and Hobie digs it.
When Hobie finds out about Miles’ aversion to kids and animals, he makes it his personal mission to change his mind. He offers to babysit Mayday any chance he gets and always ropes Miles into helping. He teaches him how to hold a child properly and the tips and tricks to help understand them and their needs. (“They’re just little people, Miles. Nothing too complicated about it, really.” “Hobie. They shit their pants and eat their boogers and cry for no reason and are so fragile they shouldn’t even be able to survive. Babies are complicated as hell.” “You saying you’re scared of a bit of boogers, love?” “Fuck you.”) He slowly gets better and more confident and Hobie melts every time he sees Miles relaxed and in his element, just holding Mayday and explaining what he’s doing when he’s cooking or cleaning or just walking around the house and holding her up to see all the places she can’t because he saw people doing it for their cats on the internet (“Hobie, she’s never seen above the fridge!” “Miles, love, she literally crawls on the ceiling, I think she’s seen it all.” “Yeah well, she’s never seen it right side up, so suck it.”)
Animals are a bit harder for Hobie to introduce Miles to but he says screw it and decides to adopt a stray cat that he names Miss Anarchy and carts her around with him wherever he goes. The first time Miles sees her perched on Hobie’s shoulder he practically flings himself across the room and refuses to get closer than 5 feet (“They can leap, Hobie! No way am I getting in the blood circle.” “Miles, Miss Anarchy is not going to leap at you claws out. She is a sweetheart and a pacifist.” “… You named your stray cat Anarchy? Why am I not surprised.” “Well, she’s not really a stray anymore, is she?” “You’re impossible.”) Hobie conveniently forgets to tell Miles that Anarchy was declawed until she finally catches the nervous boy off guard and lays directly on his chest and starts making biscuits (“Hobie. Hobie help. Your little monster is… wait. Where are her claws?” “She don’t have any.” Miles is outraged on her behalf. So maybe he’s been doing some research about cats in his spare time and came across an article about declawing. Sue him. “Hobie, we have to find her previous owners and avenge her.” “Now you’re speaking my language, love.”) Miles ends up befriending Miss Anarchy and slowly gets more comfortable with the idea of other animals.
Hobie is fucking proud.

Can you write a story about Brooklyn giving a gag gift? Like Brooklyn gives Jack a bad gift on purpose to see his reaction before giving him his real one 🤭
"Gag" Gift
Tumblr media
For the most part, Clay was a very good influence on his nieces. He was a big kid at heart, and while Jack lovingly had his reservations, as any older brother would, you both loved having Clay around and both Brooklyn and Aaliyah loved to spend time with their "favorite" uncle.
It was Christmas eve and you were starting to feel the stress of getting everything finished before tomorrow morning, so when Clay offered to take the girls out for the day and take them off your hands, you were grateful to have time to yourself and finish wrapping presents.
It wasn't until they got back and you saw the smirk on Clay's face as the girls told you about their adventure that you knew something was up his sleeve.
"Uncle Lay got us ice cream! I got strawberry!" Aaliyah was bouncing off the walls on a sugar high, a new stuffed animal she had gotten in her arms. You gave Clay a smile as he silently tried to apologize. "Oh boy, daddy is gonna be happy when he has to put you down for a nap soon."
Brooklyn was noticeably quiet, hiding a bag behind her back, avoiding eye contact with you. "B, did you get ice cream?" You asked nonchalantly, because knew your daughter well, and she had a guilty look on her face so you knew she was about to crack. She was a terrible liar like you. "B, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Clay said that it was okay! He said Daddy wouldn't be mad!" She quickly handed you the bag, which you recognized from a store in the mall. "B, he's not gonna be mad, he's gonna think its funny." Clay assured her. You peeked in the bag, seeing a small box wrapped in shiny red paper. "What is it?"
Clay let you in on the joke: it was no secret that Jack and Clay liked to pull pranks on one another, they had since they were kids, and recently Brooklyn had taken an interest in their antics. She was still very little, so the "pranks" were very innocent; scarring Jack when he woke up, or replacing sugar with salt in his morning coffee. Jack would laugh it off and Brooklyn would have a great big smile on her face knowing she had pulled off the prank.
"We were shopping and came across a silly prank shop. Brooklyn thought it would be funny to get Jack a gag gift. Its a rubber spider." You couldn't help the giggle that slipped out at the thought of Jack screeching when he saw the spider. He hated all insects and pretty much any small rodent or reptiles. "Do you think Daddy will be mad?" I don't wanna do it if he'll be sad on Christmas."
You pulled Brooklyn into a hug, patting her back. "No, baby, he's gonna think its very funny. I promise you." You could see that Brooklyn looked relieved and started getting excited about the prank. You saw her face quickly changed when everyone heard Jack's keys in the front door. "Go, go! I'll hide the gift." You shooed the girls to their room so Brooklyn wouldn't have to hide the secret from Jack.
"I am never going out on Christmas Eve again", Jack let out a huff as he closed the door and slipped his sneakers off, stopping in his tracks when he saw you and Clay standing still as statues. You had the present behind your back. "What are y'all doing?" Jack asked, narrowing his eyes at you.
"Clay was just dropping the girls off." Clay was threateningly close to blowing your cover, barely able to stifle his laugh. You pushed your brother in law out the door, making him trip over his feet, quickly turning your back so Jack didn't see the bag in your hands. "I don't like you two spending time together", Jack joked, moving toward you. He leaned in to give you a kiss, but you dodged him completely, making him scoff. "What's wrong?"
"I-I just don't feel good. I'm gonna lay down okay?" You were shuffling down the hall so quickly Jack didn't have a chance to question you. "By the way, Clay got the girls ice cream, so you might have a hard time putting Liyah down for her nap." Jack scowled, rolling his eyes.
****
The next morning, the living room was covered with wrapping paper as the girls opened their gifts in front of you and Jack, their grandparents and Clay and his girlfriend. Most of the presents had been opened when Brooklyn ran over to you, sitting in your lap. "Can I give Daddy his gifts now?", she whispered, giggling to herself. You nodded, running out to get the gift from the hall closet where you hid it. You handed Brooklyn the bag, and she slowly walked over to Jack.
"Is that for me, B?" Jack asked, pulling Brooklyn in for a hug, placing a kiss on her cheek. She ran back to you as Jack opened the box, taking off the wrapping paper. "Why does everyone look so nervous? Is it a new car or something?", he joked, lifting the top off the box.
The scream that left Jack's body when he saw the spider was a lot higher than you expected as he jumped up from his chair, throwing the box and rubber insect across the room. "Ugh!", he shivered, "was that a spider?" The entire room erupted in laughter, especially Clay who was rolling with laugher, never passing up an opportunity to scare his brother. Jack flipped off his brother when he knew the girls weren't looking, knowing 100% he was the mastermind behind the gag gift.
"Daddy, did you think it was funny?" Brooklyn was hesitant, she didn't know how to read Jack's reaction. "Did you do this, B?", Jack let out a hearty chuckle as he sat back down. "Yeah, Uncle Clay helped me pick it out."
"You got me so good, baby. That was very funny!" He gave her a big smile as he peppered her face with kisses, making her laugh.
"That's not your only gift, babe. Brookie also picked this out for you." You handed him a larger box, wrapped in silver paper, a metallic bow on the top. "I'm afraid its gonna be a spider or something", Jack hesitantly took the box in his lap. "You're really gonna like this one, Daddy." Brooklyn was beaming, knowing she had picked a gift that she knew Jack had wanted for a long time.
He opened the box to reveal a vintage Boston Celtics jersey that had been signed by current players on the team. "You're kidding!", Jack couldn't believe what he was holding, being a long time Celtics fan. "Brooklyn came up with the idea all by herself." Jack's eyes darted between you and Brooklyn, still in shock. "Thank you so much, baby! This is an amazing gift."
In all the commotion of cleaning up gifts while the girls were playing with their new toys, Jack didn't even notice Clay come up behind him, trying to place the rubber spider on his shoulder. "Clay, I swear to God, if you try me today, I will hurt you." Clay let out a sigh, realizing he'd been caught. "You're no fun."

With the recent heat wave, I'm curious about how the various cast would be taking a temporary vacation with a beach day? What kind of swimwear do they prefer, favorite beach activities, ect.
In case of deceased characters like Viktor, Cara, and Baba Alina, do they have any fond memories of their first trips to the beach, or first time they're kids saw the ocean?
Although Ash and Rin both seem like they'd sunburn easily so they probably both try to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.🤔
Aww this is so sweet and fun! 🥺❤️ Let’s start with the ROs first and then we’ll move to the rest of the cast!
Ash
Ash is an active person, so they’d definitely love to do physical activities, such as swimming, beach volleyball, riding jet ski (if available). They’d probably try to get MC to join too.
Also, as you mention, Ash can get sunburn pretty easily, so, it’s up to MC to help them lather the sunblock properly on areas they can’t reach, of course 😏
Rin
Rin would be spending most of their time under a shade, leaning relaxingly in a beach chair with a book on their lap and probably a margarita or a refreshing drink in one hand. They’re not really the biggest fan of beaches, but wouldn’t complain if invited. Just don’t expect them to join in on any physical activities.
Santana
Would be up for a little dip in the water and maybe to a round or two of friendly volleyball games, but probably would spend most of the time just relaxing and maybe catch some nap (God knows they need it 😂). Also, would love to do some BBQ for the whole group.
Skylar
Funnily enough, they’d be the other active person in the group (excluding MC if your MC is one), so they’d be the one who probably would do a lot of physical activities with Ash.
Soon, those activities will be vehicles for the two of them to continue their rivalry, even though none of them would explicitly state it out loud. Who would be able to swim the farthest or the fastest? Who would be able to score more in the volleyball game? Ash would probably do a lot of smash moves against Skylar during the game too 🤣
But once the sun starts to get low, they’d cease the physical activities and choose to chill instead and would start taking pictures of the sunset, the surrounding, and maybe some of the gang.
Luka
Not interested in doing a lot of beach activities and plus, he’d probably be prone to getting sunburn. So, he’d spent most of his time probably drinking over in the nearby beach bar/lounge. Would probably step out for a little while if Jackal, MC, Ash, Cara, or Viktor drags him away 😆
Jackal
Would love to go swimming for a while and would make sure to drag Luka with him. After all, he won’t pass up the rare chance of seeing Luka in his swimwear 🤭 After that though, he’d probably accompany Luka in the nearby bar or lounge.
Grandpa
Similar to Luka and Rin, not a big fan of going to the beach. He doesn’t like sand; it’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. But would still go just to spend time with his family. He’d probably spend a lot of time out of the sun and in the nearby bar or lounge instead.
Takashi
Hell yeah, he’d enjoy a day at the beach with his family and friends! Be careful when playing volleyball with him though. If he gets excited enough, he might accidentally use a bit of his super strength in his shots (a lesson that Luka learnt the hard way once).
Also, totally would be the BBQ master 😂 And he’d probably be a pretty good one too since he’s decent in cooking.
Viktor
One of his most fond memories was going to the beach for the first time with little MC, Ash, Luka, and Cara during one summer break. He never let the kids out of his sight and he helped little MC and little Ash build sandcastles, and hold on to them while they swim in the shallow water.
He also packed a duffel-bag worth of towels, clothes, shampoo, soap, and all other stuff that might be needed and made sure that both MC and Ash put on sufficient sunblock.
He had a lot of fun and just like Skylar, he also took a lot of pictures, but instead of the view, he was more interested in documenting the memories, focusing on MC, Ash, Cara, and Luka.
Cara
Same as Viktor, this family holiday to the beach was one of her fondest memories. Seeing her child and little MC playing happily with no worries in the world made her happy as well.
She accompanied Ash and MC searching for pretty seashells along the beach. And once the two of them are getting tired, she whipped out the picnic basket she had prepared early in the morning.
It was a really beautiful memory that she often looked back on. Whereas Viktor had this obsession with immortalizing memories through photos, for her, just carving it into her heart is enough.
Grandma
Sadly, she never had the chance to go on a beach holiday with MC. But, she had one with Viktor, Luka, and Grandpa a long time ago, back when both of her sons were still little.
Honestly, she was also not a beach person, just like her husband and her youngest son, but Viktor had pleaded with her and Pavel to spend at least a day there during one summer break, and she agreed, convincing her husband to join too. What she wouldn’t do for her sons…
Of course, she made sure a picnic basket was prepared for the day and she and her husband spent most of their time under the shade, watching her two sons play around the beach.

Transcript:
Atlas: You’re here. I wasn’t expecting you until—Whoa!
Atlas: [high-pitched voice] Jasper! What are you doin’ here buddy? What’re you doin? Asher: Is this alright? Atlas: Sure. You’re early and you brought the dog, is everything… shit, Ash.
Atlas: What happened to your face? Are you okay? Asher: I’m fine. It’s not that bad. Atlas: Come here, tell me what happened.
Asher: James showed up at the house to see Spence. The social worker wasn’t there yet, so I told him to wait outside. He lost his shit and shoved the door open on me. Hence, my face. So, to keep him from getting too far, I stuck my foot out and tripped him. He went down hard, smacked his face on the floor and broke his nose. Which would have been hilarious, except Spence woke up from her nap and saw the whole thing. Atlas: Oh no.
Asher: Yeah, she was pretty upset. Now, Iris is pissed at me. She fucking went off on me and then took James to the hospital. She’s the one who told me his visits had to be supervised and not to let him take her. Atlas: Was he trying to take her?
Asher: I don’t know. I wasn’t going to give him the chance. Atlas: … [phone buzzes] Asher: Atlas. Atlas: Hm? Asher: I really need you on my side here. [phone buzzes]
Atlas: It’s Dawn. She wants to come over. Asher: Really? Now? Atlas: It’s fine. I’ll tell her it’s not a good time.
Atlas: Do you want something to eat? Asher: No. Atlas: … Asher: … Am I the asshole? Atlas: No, you’re not. Asher: Then, why won’t you look me in the eye? Atlas: [sighs] Did you provoke him?
Asher: What?! Atlas: C’mon Ash, you antagonize him any chance you get. I know he’s a prick and you don’t want him around, but I’m starting to think you want him to attack you. If he gets another assault charge while he’s on probation, then he’ll end up back in jail and lose any chance of seeing Spencer again. Asher: Well, if he loses his shit over my little jabs, then maybe he shouldn’t be around a three-year-old. Atlas: That’s not up to you to decide. It’s his kid, Ash.
Asher: I can’t believe this. Atlas: Look, I know you mean well. But if he’s as unstable as you say he is, then I’m sure he’ll fuck up on his own sooner or later. You don’t need to put yourself in the middle. Asher: I guess I’d rather he punches me in the face than break Iris’s arm again.
Atlas: [sighs] Asher: You weren’t there, Atlas. It was awful. And if anything were to happen to Spence…
Asher: I hate this. Atlas: I know.
Asher: I shouldn’t have tripped him. If I hadn’t, maybe him busting into the house and doing this [gesturing to his face] would’ve been enough. Atlas: Maybe. Asher: How was I supposed to know he’d go down face first? Dipshit didn’t even try to catch himself. Atlas: [snickers] I do kinda wish I’d seen that. Asher: [chuckles]
Atlas: For the record, I’m always on your side. Asher: Thanks. Can we stay here tonight? Atlas: Yeah, of course. I’ll put some food out for Jasp. You sure you don’t want anything? Asher: No, I’m good.
[phone buzzing] Asher: Sounds like you sister’s blowing up your phone again.
Atlas: She can wait. I’ll call her tomorrow.

Title: Their older sister
Character(s): Azul Ashengrotto, Jade Leech, Floyd Leech (Twisted Wonderland)
Summary: You are the older sister they always adore, someone who cared about them and gave them affection. It is only natural for them to cling to you so.
Warnings/tags: Fem!reader, the reader is probably like around 5 years older but very is vague, platonic yandere themes so obsessive and possessive themes but most of it is just fluff, you are the older sister to Jade and Floyd but Azul also sees you as his older sister.
Tumblr media
They always adored you even when they are troublemakers to others, to you they will stop whatever they were doing when you call for dinner and they would curl around your arms almost like puppies as they take their naps on your lap.
Even since they could remember they always went to you when they have a chance. You were their older sister and they always asked you to play with them bothering you when you had to study or had to do another task. You always let them have what they want within limits of course. When Floyd nagged for your hugs you will give them to him, when Jade asked for your affection you will give them to him.
It was amusing to watch when others looked at you and the twins, as you nagged them for playing so rowdy that their hair had become a mess. You were the only one they would listen to. They will stay still as you comb their hair out with your fingertips, leaning closer to you.
Others have tried to do the same, they found children adorable and your little siblings were so. Yet when they tried to reach for them their hands would be harshly slapped away the two merboys did not want any physical affection from others.
You saw it happen a few times before while sometimes they would try to stand still when your eyes were on them. Floyd only had so much patience towards the coos of the older mermaid, while Jade could only do so much with his sharp tongue when he was displeased.
At the end of the day, you have to apologize to others for their rude behaviors and later at home reprimand the two. They always felt a little guilty at first, saddened that their older sister was angry at them yet Floyd can't help but gasp in excitement while Jade smiled as you told them that you will be buying some dessert and if they want something.
Quickly they swam to catch up to you each taking one of your hands as you head to the store.
While you were at the store you sent them to the playground while you pay and from there they meet a little aggressive octopus hiding inside a pot. You and they tried to get the little octopus out of his pot but weren't able to sadly as you glanced at the spells written on the pot's inner wall.
As they grew they started to notice something while their love for you was still the same it seems that the world thought differently about it. While they were small they were allowed to cling to their older sister's arms others would often make remarks about how adorable you guys were yet now while they compliment you and their relationship they could see how unsure their eyes were while they ask your parents if it was really okay for them to continue clinging on to you this much like this.
"They grow at such a fast rate but is it really okay for them to continue on clinging to their older sister's arms? I am just worried that they would not be able to grow at a certain point."
"It is good that they have a good relationship with their sister, I could only wish my own children could get along as well as your kids... but don't you think the twins are a little... much..."
"Are the twins like this at home too? I notice how fond they are of their sister but don't you think they are a little... you know... too obsessive?"
Floyd always seems hostile when it happens Jade knew that his brother was frustrated by their remarks and wanted to bite at them, Floyd constantly asked Jade if he could squeeze them but Jade would only grab him by the should forcing him not to go. They knew if they did something nothing good would happen and someone... someone would drag you away from them.
You haven't heard those talks maybe it was because you didn't care as much as they did or maybe because you never were able to hear them as one of them would always try to drag you away before you could hear the full conversation. Maybe... They didn't want you to hear it... they did not want you to push them away because of what others thought...
They didn't want you to push them away at all.
You were surprised when they came home with a friend. A boy name Azul smiling at him you welcome him to the house. As you watch the three small boys play you can help but mentally sigh in relief. You always worry a little when you see Jade and Floyd having a hard time finding interest in others other than themselves. They would probably tell you that you are another person they care about but you didn't count yourself when you hoped that they could expand their connections with others and not only you.
Maybe they knew about it, maybe they didn't you wondered.
Azul visited often, often enough that you thought they have become pretty close. The three don't let you into many of their conversations they act all sneaky but once in a while when they didn't have something to hide all of them were rather chill take a seat around the table doing homework while you prepare something for them to eat.
While it wasn't often Jade occasionally ask you questions about his homework that you were always willing to help while you put a lot of your focus on Floyd finishing his own work. The boy just refuses to look at his book sometimes really instead choosing to hug your waist whining about how boring this was.
More often than not you just had to wonder if they were ever embarrassed acting like this in front of their friend. You have heard from your friends that siblings weren't really supposed to get along and prefer to ignore one another if they were with friends finding it much more embarrassing to greet each other.
Azul didn't talk to you while he didn't care what the twins do you noticed he kept his distance. And this was the case for a while till you found him alone in the living room, he told you the twins went out to the store to buy something and that he was waiting for them. Seeing as you didn't want to leave the young boy alone you tried to make a small conversation with him. His likes and dislikes, what he often does with the twins (most of which he denied answering) and hobbies.
Azul was just adorable when he tried to look anywhere but you but having your interest in him when it was usually the twins made him flustered. When you asked him about his hobbies he wondered if he should say something about his revenge but instead of saying that he told you that he liked board games.
He flinched when he saw your eyes widen a tiny fraction he thought you would mock him yet instead of doing so you asked if he would like to play a board game with you as you do have them just collecting dust as the twins didn't have much interest in it.
The twins found you and Azul both playing a game both in deep concentration only to be broken when Floyd suddenly grabbed your arm pouting that you would play with Azul but not him.
Azul started to open up to you little by little from there on, while really rare he would ask you questions about his studies as he tried to get ahead of everyone else. Sometimes he would ask to play a game with you before the twins would show up to ruin it all.
But you can't forget that moment when the boy almost called you sister. His red face as he tried to run away while Floyd and Jade adamantly told him that they were absolutely not allowing him to call you that. After some chat, giving Floyd the biggest hug and Jade too telling them that you will forever be their older sister. You told Azul to come out from his hiding pot and that it was okay that he calls you sister too.
You also gave the boy a hug as he tried to cover his blushing face with it but you can see his red ears.
But he liked it... he liked your affectionate attention.
They always hated it as they grew the fact that others would not approve of their clinging nature towards their older sister. They always hated the idea that as time passed there was a chance when you could be taken away from them by someone else when you belonged to them. Your eyes with hearts as you follow that person, and leaving them forever alone.
They hate that they could not really do anything bad else you become rather suspicious of what they do already. The invitation to the night raven academy made you happy for them while they were bitter that there was a dorm system.
Yet they could not say anything when you looked so happy for them. So they made a promise that they would go to the academy and when they finally graduated you and them would forever stay together.
They will make sure that you will be with them whether you want it or not even if they have to use spells and magic or contracts or Floyd's hugs. They will keep anyone who hates their close relationship with you away and trample them where they walk.
They want to stay with you whether the world wants it or not.

First Encounter (Raph X Reader)
Tumblr media
A/N: Hey hey, I’ve returned. I took some time to visit New York, and gosh, if only there were actual mutant turtles to come and save me from the most disgusting streets I’ve ever seen. But that rant is up for another time.
I decided to write something for Rise!Raph. Personal thought for a second: I adore the change in his personality, compared to other versions. I’m more into “red means passionate and impulsive” than “red means anger.” Constructive criticism is appreciated and enjoy!
Summary: Raph finally met an animal that didn’t hate him. The animal was actually your missing pet.
Reader: Gender-neutral pronouns if anything. Second-POV pronouns are used.
Word Count: ~1090
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: Some mentions of kidnapping or pet-napping. 
~
The earliest he met you would have to be when you were searching for your missing pet. It scurried out quickly the moment you opened your door.
Raph was on his night patrol, while his brothers were elsewhere.
As of late, noone tried to murder them, so things felt monotonous.
He sat down off the edge of a building, looking at passing cars and people.
And then, Raph heard a trash bag tumble.
“Finally! Sounds like something’s about to go down toni—.”
In an alleyway, your pet wandered with sadness in its lost eyes.
Oh boy, Raph’s heart ached.
He jumped down, startling your pet with a THUMP.
“Hey there, fella,” the snapping turtle cooed, leaning on his knees. “Don’t worry, Raph won’t hurt ya.”
Your pet stood in place for a while, staring at Raph. It made him nervous, because while he claimed animals love him, do they really? 
“Come on, come to Raph-y.” He gestured with his hand. Your pet stepped closer, interested in this giant turtle. And for the moment of his life, it reached for his hand and nuzzled.
Raph’s eyes widened, and his mouth curled into a huge smile.
This was proof that he has a chance with animals!
He proceeded to scratch its head gently. “I love you too, buddy. Yes, I do. Yes, I do~.” It looked like it returned his smile. Maybe, Raph thought to himself, maybe this is the chance for me to adopt!
“(Pet Name)! Where are you?!”
Raph froze. A human? Looking for something?
He glanced behind him for a second and back to the animal in front of him. No, rather, some-pet. Raph couldn’t believe it; the one time he befriended an animal, it turned out to be someone else’s pet. 
A part of him wanted to pet-nap it. 
“Whoa, whoa, Raph. You can’t just pet-nap it!” Mind-Raph exclaimed.
“I can’t help it. This is a milestone for me!”
“Look, as much as you like animals, you can’t just make someone else feel terrible about losing their pet. You’ll always have another chance, big guy.” Mind-Raph pat Raph’s back before vanishing. 
The snapping turtle groaned. “Never a good day—.” WHACK! Raph was knocked off his feet.
“Get away from my pet, you creep!” you yelled, picking it up. “I know how to use my bag, so don’t you dare try me.”
“W-Woah! Hold on, this is just a big misunderstanding—.”
“I’m seeing everything clearly. You were standing there for a good minute, thinking about whether you should pet-nap (Pet Name)!”
Did he seriously take so long to think!? Raph winced. “Maybe— no, I mean— I was just walking by and I thought he was lost—.”
“He? (Pet Name)’s a she.”
“Right.” Raph winced again. “My bad. 
But I was only thinking about whether I should knock on people’s doors, or put up a found dog poster, or—.”
“What even are you?”
“I’m sorry?”
“Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who dress up in a weird costume to lure and kidnap kids too, are you?” Your grip tightened on your shoulder bag, and Raph well noticed it. “I’ve had enough of—!”
“A mutant ninja turtle!”
You stopped midway in swinging your bag. “...What?”
“Just a mutant ninja turtle!” Raph panicked, waving his hands and all. “Not wearing a costume! Was up on a roof until I heard a trash bag fall over. Then, I saw your pet. I admit, your pet’s really, really adorable. I didn’t mean to make you suspicious. It’s just that I’ve never had any animal be so loving around me—!”
You laughed.
Raph suddenly slowed down. “—and I was gonna... leave it.”
Your hand covered your mouth. “Really, you’re a ‘mutant ninja turtle?’” You continued to laugh. “I’m sorry, the way you blurted it out is so random.”
Raph had no words.
“Fine, I believe you for now.” You crossed your arms. “A panicked speaker is always worth some trust— (Pet Name)?”
Oh god. Did you let go? You quickly scanned around, hoping that she wouldn’t run off on you again. To your surprise, your pet was right by Raph’s foot, snuggling against him.
Even the snapping turtle himself didn’t notice until then. And Raph tensed up.
“H-Hold on... before you—.”
“Relax, I’m not going to swing my bag again.” Your voice softened. “Looks like she does like you a lot.”
You stepped a bit closer to Raph, eyes still on your pet. “She’s very sensitive about others. Only gets near whoever is a good person. So for her to—,” you paused, meeting eyes with the snapping turtle, “—I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made those assumptions and... hit you.” 
Raph watched your expression. There wasn’t anger or bitterness. Instead, there was sincerity on your face. “You’re good. You trust her that much, huh?”
“I know when I should give someone a chance.” You smiled, throwing Raph off guard.
“Oh, and I should probably pay you back for earlier,” you said, picking up your pet again. “I.. do know a good pizza place we could order from. How about it?”
“...” He blinked.
“You.. may need to say something, so I know if you’re good with that.”
“...” He slowly nodded.
“Nice. We should probably meet up another day for it. I have finals coming up soon,” you explained. “Is there a way I can contact you?”
Raph reached for his phone and showed you his number.
You were kind of unsettled by how quiet he was, but his profile picture of Jupiter Jim reassured you. You even chuckled.
“Thanks.” You punched in the numbers and returned the device. “I’ll see you soon, ‘Raph.’ Or maybe ‘mutant ninja turtle.’” You walked off with another smile.
...
And just like that, he was left in the alleyway with a couple of questions. A blush grew on him, and he found himself crossing his arms to “cover” his beating heart. Gosh, was it your smile?
Were you also into Jupiter Jim?
How come he had never seen you before?
Hold on, did you still think he was a human in a costume?
~
Bonus Bits:
Raph develops a fear of your bag now.
April easily figured out that Raph has a crush on someone from his inability to hide his emotions.
Apparently, you and April are close. So when you tell her about an experience with a ‘mutant turtle in a red bandana,’ she connects the dots.
You come to realize that Raph is an actual mutant turtle when he refuses to enter the pizza restaurant with you.

Attuma with the babies - part 1
Listen. I just know Attuma is an extremely involved and supportive husband when it comes to raising his and Okoye's kids.
So just come with me as I write out a few thoughts.
This is based in The Sun & The Sky AU. 💓
My thoughts:
The first time Attuma held the twins, he cried. They were so small and precious. From the moment he saw them, he knew that he'd destroy any and every threat that dared to trouble them. Okoye was given many soft kisses and praises for bringing their kids into the world too. Gentle massages, careful assistance with bathing, and homemade meals. You know, all the good stuff. Anything to help her as she healed and rested. Gotta make sure his sun is shining too. 😌
Anytime their babies would cry, he'd sprint to the scene to hold them and soothe them. Okoye is often impressed by how in tune he is with the twins. Sometimes it seems like he's able to sense their distress before they make an audible cry. Even in the midst of his slumber, he'll wake up and go check on their two bundles of joy.
Whenever Okoye has to breastfeed them, he's there helping and being supportive. Whether he's rubbing her back. Holding her so that she's able to rest in his arms. Or feeding her because she's a bit hungry and her arms are full. He read a lot of books while she was pregnant, so he's constantly rubbing her down with salves he read about to make sure she's never sore after breastfeeding and that she's eating properly to keep producing milk.
And as Okoye begins to observe the changes to her body, postpartum, Attuma is always boosting her head up. She doesn't even get a chance to think any less of herself. He's always praising her, drowning her in love, and gifting her things so that she knows she's just as special as their babies. He'll take care of the kids, so that she can go train a little or have some alone time. He'll even plan little picnic dates for them in the living room, while the twins are sleeping, so the romance stays alive. 🥺 He'll bring her home flowers and a baked treat, every time he comes home from patrolling. Eager to relieve her of any stress, she may be feeling from taking care of the twins all day by herself.
Whenever Okoye is napping, he's always walking around with the babies wrapped securely to his torso. Ever since Aneka showed him how to wrap the babies securely and wear them- he saw it while out and wished to learn- he does it as often as he can. He's a proud father. The twins are his pride and the fruits of his love. Why wouldn't he keep them close?
Everyone finds it cute. Such a large and intimidating man wearing two little babies.
Yes, Aneka and Namora take pictures and send them to Okoye. Shuri has been working on building a super cool stroller to earn the title of Auntie of the Year. It's a hard competition with RiRi in the lab. To their dismay, Oni manages to one up them by giving Attuma more patterned wraps made with a longer and stretchier cloth. (Attuma will carry his babies until they are 4. And even then. He'd just move on to piggyback rides. 😭 He feels that they are safer when they are close. 🥺 But he has to get more creative as he and Okoye's family grows. Imagine him with 12 kids wrapped around him. 💀 Jk. 12 kids is my running joke. It does not have to be canon.)
"Man- I know we didn't just get one upped by a piece of fabric." RiRi scowled as Oni and Attuma talked.
Namora was proud of her wife, shooting a small glare at RiRi. "You did. Accept it."
"Those praises do not fall on you. You're just as crappy of an aunt as us." RiRi huffed before laughing when Namora gently nudged her and rolled her eyes.
"He's a simple man." Shuri groaned. "I should have listened to K'uk'ulkan."
"He'll come around." Aneka gently pet them on the back. "You're crazy if you think he's only having two kids with udade. Your inventions will come in handy eventually."
"She is right." Namora hummed. "We all aspire to have big families."
The funny thing about Attuma wearing the twins is that they are so small that they're both able to be strapped to the front of his chest. As they get older, the less chaotic of the twins get to chill in the front. (They don't try to grab ingredients or kick things while he'd cooking. Safety first people.) It's okay. He often gives his toddler on his back pieces of cut fruit to keep their spirits lifted and help them feel involved.
Okoye is always amused to see him talking to the twins while cooking and running errands, even though they're tiny and unable to process what he's saying.
"We are making K'iin food. K'iin means sun." He whispered. "K'iin is your mother. Na' is how you say mother." He'd remind them. "We must make sure she stays bright and healthy." He'd say as he chopped up some ingredients. "So we are making her soup to help her heal, because having two babies took a toll on her. She needs lots of food and rest so that she can continue to be the best mother she already is to both of you." He smiled behind his rebreather. "We will start by cutting up these carrots-"
"Ah." One of the babies would sound out.
"-Yes." He'd grin before pressing a soft kiss into the infant's head. "And we'll add onions, peppers, and chicken. Na' like corn, so we have to add it too."
Sometimes he'll sing to them in mayan. It's not a tune that's laced with strong suggestions like the one he'd drown his enemies with. It's often a song his mother would hum to him when he was small. Something he was happy to pass down to his own children.
And that concludes Part 1. ♡
p.s. I feel like the first set of twins would be identical boys. And they'd end up being mama boys (in a healthy way), because Attuma raised them to respect women. 😤 So, yeah.

Hiya there erin, i was wondering if you could sprinkle some angst and more tension in the single mom universe where little ones bio father comes back on the scene and suddenly wants to be involved, like this puts steves back up a little cause by damn she is his weather he is related biologically or not . Snd single mom is in a bit of a sticky situation because she wants to give a chance to little ones bio father but dosent want to hurt steve - some worried and insecure steve potentially? ❤️❤️ love anon
Man, you anons sure think alike! I have two other similar requests where baby daddy returns, so I’ll be combining them as they all will make a good combo, I think. I’ll be combining yours and these two (hopefully that’s alright!):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This will also take place within the first year of reader and Steve’s relationship making baby roughly a year to 18 months, just for story purposes. Thus, I introduce you to the deadbeat dad named Trent (no offense to anyone named that, just thought it sounded like a douchebag-y enough name lol)
Tumblr media
The Return of The Baby Daddy
Steve Harrington x Reader
(This is a full length fic that takes place in the Dad!Steve x SingleTeenMom!Reader universe)
Your head was pounding, a dull pain settling between your eyes. But nothing was as annoying as the living, breathing headache you were dealing with now.
Or the situation you were in.
Standing in front of you were two men, your past and present currently colliding in a situation you’d hoped never to happen.
Your ex-boyfriend and speed donor—or biological dad, if you wanted to get technical—stood and glowered at your current boyfriend, Steve Harrington. He glared right back at him.
The amount of male ego being flaunted in just the withering glares right now was permeating the room. You could feel how territorial Steve was of you, not that you blamed him, he had every right to. But, if he were a dog, you were sure he’d be peeing on you right about now, claiming his territory.
“What do you want, Trent?” you sighed, already exhausted with this conversation.
“I want to see my child,” he sneered, looking at you like you had the audacity to ask why he was here.
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Steve stiffen.
“Oh that’s rich,” he snorted.
“I hate to inform you, but you’re a little late for the birth. Like nearly eighteen months late,” you said sternly, crossing your arms over your chest.
Thankfully, your baby was taking a nap and you had no intention of letting him see her. He didn’t deserve the right to.
“Look, I know I screwed up. But I have rights to my child you know,” he argued.
“You didn’t even stay around long enough to earn any rights! Do you even know if you have a son or daughter?” you asked.
“I know, I know,” he said emphatically, “But I’ve had a change of heart, I want to be involved in his or her life.”
“I think you threw that privilege away the moment you left her, pregnant and scared,” Steve said.
You’d never seen your kind, caring boyfriend look so angry. Or so mean.
Trent glanced over at Steve, almost dismissively which you knew did nothing but fuel Steve’s anger further.
“Who’s the pretty boy?”
“Steve,” you emphasized his name for good measure, “Is my boyfriend.”
Trent’s eyes did a once over of Steve, clearly amused.
“I’m shocked, Y/N. He doesn’t really seem to be your type.”
“Yeah, it is shocking. Because he isn’t an asshole like you were and he actually knows how to treat me and my child well,” you defended.
Trent had no right to attack Steve like that and you refused to let him get away with that.
“I’m the kid’s father!” he protested.
“Some father,” Steve huffed.
“You got a problem, man?” Trent asked, glaring even harder at Steve.
“Yeah, I do. You don’t get to waltz back in here over a year after your child was born and think you have rights when you left the mother of your child the second things got tough. She was barely a few months pregnant and she had to do it all by herself. Give birth, have a newborn. It took her a long time to accept help, even from me because she’s a damn better parent than you’ll ever be,” Steve ranted.
Trent’s mouth tightened, clearly trying to reign in the anger he felt then turned to look at you.
“Can we talk in private please?”
“No. Hell no. Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of me,” Steve said, arms crossed.
“Steve stays,” you said, “He has every right to hear what you have to say. He’s as much as a parent as I am to your daughter.”
“You had a girl?” Trent asked.
You could’ve laughed. He was so out of touch with the entire situation it was actually comical.
“Yes, Trent. You have a daughter, even though I would say that extremely loosely. She’s almost 18 months old, can walk and talk. She’s the light of my life and thankfully looks nothing like you. She would have no idea who you were if she met you right this moment. You’d just be another stranger.”
His hands tightened into fists.
“What, you playing family with this guy then? Thinking that my kid is his and you all just live happily ever after?”
“Steve has been a better father to her than you ever have been and ever will be.”
You refused to back down. You knew you couldn’t count on Trent.
“What, she calls you daddy?” Trent asked, getting a bit too close to Steve for your liking.
“No, she doesn’t. But I love her like she’s my own. I wish she was my own,” Steve practically hissed the last sentence, “Cause I know damn well I’d treat her better than you ever could. I know I sure as hell treat Y/N better.”
Trent was in Steve’s face now.
“I am not letting some pretty boy douchebag raise my child. Or call him daddy.”
Steve put a hand on his chest, trying to stop him from further advancing.
“You need to back off.”
“Why should I?”
“I think you should leave,” Steve said firmly.
That was when he threw the first punch. No, not Steve. Trent punched the fuck out of Steve.
You shrieked, not being able to process what was happening.
He staggered back, righting himself before he could fall to the floor. He lunged for Trent, getting in a hit of his own. It was turning into a full on brawl in the middle of your living room.
“Steve, stop! Steve, please,” you begged, trying to pull him away.
They ignored you and you were sent crashing to the floor, falling on your behind by an arm that was shot out. You had no idea if it was Steve’s or Trent’s.
That was when you realized Trent was absolutely pummeling Steve and he was slumped against the wall, hardly fighting back at all. He had a black eye, bloodied nose and split lip.
“Trent! Stop it! You’re hurting him!”
You screamed at the top of your lungs, terrified for Steve. Miraculously, you managed to pull the other man off him.
Everything else afterwards was a blur of emotions, mainly concern for Steve, worry for your daughter who had woken up from all the screaming, screaming crying herself and absolute anger.
Although at the moment, you had no idea which man you were more angry with.
Steve woke with a groan. Every fiber of his being hurt. It felt like a safe had fallen on his face.
He opened his eyes and saw he was laying on the couch, head in your lap and you were holding an ice pack to his face. The asshole from earlier was nowhere to be seen.
“You’re an idiot,” was the first thing you said to him.
“What happened?” he groaned, trying to sit up.
You helped him into a sitting position, handing him the ice pack to hold on his own.
“Trent beat the shit out of you. Why didn’t you just walk away? What if the baby had seen you like that? She’d been terrified!”
“I’m sorry,” he winced, the pain he felt coming in sharp bursts, “But I wasn’t going to let him stand there, all high and mighty, thinking he has a right to storm in here and make demands. Especially after the awful way he treated you. We both know I’m her father in all the ways that matter.”
Your silence seems disconcerting to him.
“What? You’re not telling me something, I can tell by the look on your face,” he said.
“Trent and I talked when you were knocked out. He wants to make an effort to get to know her and be a part of her life.”
“You’re fucking kidding, right?”
“Steve,” you sighed, much too tired now to deal with an argument with him as well.
“No, don’t “Steve” me. He hasn’t been around a day in her life. He decided being a father wasn’t going to mess up his life and left you when you were three months pregnant. He missed her first kicks, watching her grow inside of you, her birth, her crawling, her first words, her walking! Her fucking first birthday.”
Steve ticked off each one on his fingers, angrily. He was absolutely furious and you knew he had every right to be, but you knew this was something you had to do, you owed it to your daughter.
“I know, I know,” you said.
“Then why are you letting him back in with just a slap on the wrist? He does not deserve to know what a joy that little girl is.”
“Because I owe it to her. What if I were to say no and it’s a huge mistake that I end up regretting in my life? Or she ends up hating me for because I never gave him the chance to know her. I owe it to him if he truly wants to get to know his child.”
“You owe him nothing!” he shouted, jumping to his feet.
“Shh! I just got her back to sleep,” you warned, peeking down the hall towards the nursery.
He continued, although a notch quieter this time.
“He has done nothing to prove to you that he deserves to be a father to her.”
“Yeah, except make her,” you replied sarcastically, “He’s the one that got me pregnant Steve, not you.”
You both knew it was a true fact, something that hadn’t been a big deal before. Perhaps it was the heightened emotions and anger behind your words that stopped him cold. His jaw tensed, as tense as the rest of him was.
“Yeah, I know. She’s not mine. Thank you for reminding me,” his voiced was laced with anger and hurt.
“Steve, I didn’t mean it like that—”
“Whatever. Do what you want.”
He shook his head, heading down the hallway to your bathroom.
He slept on the couch that night while you slept in a cold, empty bed.
Things had been tense between you and Steve for the entire week. You’d planned a visit for Trent to come meet your daughter and you were getting her ready for the little play date.
“One of mommy’s friends is coming over to meet you today, isn’t that exciting?”
She ignored you, continuing to jabber in her baby talk, lost in her own world for the moment.
Steve had ignored you most of the week. You’d just moved in with him not long ago, but you felt like a ghost in the house. It almost felt like living with a stranger.
You’d had plenty of fights before, sure, but never one so badly that it went on so long. Maybe it was because it involved your daughter as well, this time.
What you didn’t know about was the turmoil of a storm that was wrecking havoc in Steve’s mind.
Steve was so mad at himself. He regretted what he’d said to you, how he’d ended things in that argument, that he’d walked away angry.
Even though he’d meant what he said about Trent, he should’ve been more supportive of you, not alienating you for just trying to do the right thing. What he didn’t want to admit was the deep feelings of jealousy and inadequacy he was feeling.
Not only did he feel threatened by Trent’s presence when it came to his relationship to your daughter, he felt threatened by him when it came to you. After all, you shared a child with him. That was something deep and intimate, a connection he didn’t have with you. That was a link to someone forever, even if they weren’t in the picture.
He knew he wasn’t your little girl’s true father, but how he wished he was. He adored her so much and he was afraid of losing her, losing you, to him.
He watched from the doorway quietly as you got her dressed for the planned play date you’d arranged with Trent when he’d been at the house last week.
Remorse stirred in his gut simultaneously as the love did in his heart. He loved you two so much and would do anything to protect you two. Apparently being an idiot was part of that.
He cleared his throat before speaking, the action drawing your attention.
“Do you need any help?” he asked.
“Do you mind taking her to the living room and setting up some toys for her? Trent should be here soon.”
He nodded, taking her and walking to the living room. Not long later, you joined him.
He was on the floor playing with her as the minutes ticked by.
Then an hour.
Then two.
Afternoon bled into evening, into night. Your little girl had played, had a nap, a snack, cuddles with Steve, dinner and now a bath and Trent had never showed.
It was only after you’d sent Steve off with her to read her a bedtime story when the phone rang.
You rolled your eyes, listening to the person on the other line and what they had to say.
Steve had just walked into the room, catching the tail end of your conversation. He’d been kind enough to not say a word about the absence of Trent, all day.
“Yeah, well do me a favor and tell him to fuck off. Oh and never to bother us again.”
You hung up the phone, maybe with a bit too much attitude as the receiver clanged into the phone rest.
“What was that about?” Steve asked, brows raised.
“That,” you sighed, “Was me being an idiot and you being right.”
He cocked his head, not following.
“That was a buddy of Trent’s. He met some girl and they’re currently on their way to Florida to take a cruise and swim with sharks or some shit. He told his buddy to let me know,” you shook your head, crossing your arms, sighing, “I should’ve known that he didn’t care about his kid. He never did. He just wanted to come around, pretend like he was the dad of the year and never show his face again. I told his friend to tell him not to bother us again. You were right, he doesn’t deserve to be in her life. Or mine. I don’t have time for childish shit like that.”
Steve pulled your arms apart, pulling you into his arms.
“I didn’t want to be right. In fact, I’m sorry. About everything. Him. Me fighting him. Getting into a fight with you. Walking away angry. Giving you the cold shoulder. I’m so, so sorry, Y/N.”
He closed his eyes, resting his chin on top of your head.
“I’m sorry for what I said. I never meant to hurt you,” you whispered into Steve’s chest.
“I have a confession to make,” he said, pulling back to look down into your face, “I was afraid I wasn’t a good enough father to her. Or boyfriend to you. I was afraid he’d take you both away from me.”
“That’s impossible. We love you and only you,” you chuckled, “You’re the best boyfriend and father to her, ever. Thank you for sticking up for us.”
He smiled, kissing you on the nose, then kissing you for real.
You whispered your next statement against his lips.
“You’re all we need, Steve.”

So when I say writing takes me between 5-500 business days I'm not kidding, I'm very sorry dear anon! I've not forgotten about these prompts, just know that each of my fingers is riding a turtle across the keyboard, or something like that.
But thank you so much for this prompt and the opportunity to write something short and cute for my favourite throuple.
Hope you enjoy :)
(You'll also be able to find this fic (and many more) on AO3)
Nace was watching the back of Kris’ head as the blond guitarist made yet another phone call.
He knew Kris was looking out for them and working out back-up plan a-z, but his ever tenser and more clipped growing tone of voice was only serving to make all of them more nervous than Nace thought they really ought to be. 
Jure was napping, against Kris’ side, headphones and beanie helping him stay entirely unaware of the chaos unfolding around him. 
He chanced a glance over his shoulder where Vita, Kiki and Primož were sitting and was met with tense faces and silence. 
“You reckon we’ll make it?” came a quiet voice from beside him and his hold on the smaller man’s shoulders tightened further, head turning to look at the singer.
To his surprise the question had been directed at Jan, who must have woken up while Nace was distracted.
Before they had run into the massive traffic jam they were now stuck in, Jan had leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes, headphones on his ears, clearly needing a little quiet time before they’d get to the busy airport, possibly even meeting fans they’d stop to chat to and take selfies with.
The longer they were stuck in traffic the slimmer were the chances they’d even have time to stop and chat, given they’d still manage to make it to the airport on time. If they were too late for their flight they’d have all the time in the world though…
“I’m sure whatever happens, we’ll manage to sort it.. look, Kris is on it already,” came Jan’s quiet reply and Nace felt the guitarist wind his own arm around Bojan, squeezing in between the smaller man’s back and the backrest of the van. 
Bojan slumped a bit further down in his seat at Jan’s answer, eyes wide and chewing on his bottom lip, small hands fidgeting in his lap. The guitarist carefully threaded a hand through his hair, making him turn his head towards him. 
“Look, I know you’re worried because we’re kind of stuck here, and I get it. But maybe we can make time pass a little more enjoyably, okay?” and Nace saw Bojan nod, an almost imperceptible movement of his head, and then Jan was slowly pulling him in closer, the hand in his hair guiding him into a soft kiss. 
Nace watched as Bojan slowly closed his eyes, a hand coming up to stroke the stubble on Jan’s cheek, his shoulders still tense but his expression already less miserable than a moment before.
The guitarist turned further in his seat, keeping their lips connected in a series of long, close-mouthed kisses and making the smaller man relax into their arms, making him lean against the backrest. 
Bojan sighed into the kiss and Nace watched as Jan gently pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, making the smaller man’s mouth fall open. Jan’s tongue pushed between his lips, licking into the soft mouth and drawing out another sigh. 
Nace instinctively shifted closer, the hand he had wrapped around Bojan’s shoulders finding the nape of Jan’s neck, while his other hand landed on Bojan’s knee, stroking his thigh.
Jan gentled the kiss, going back to simply pressing their lips together before Bojan could let out any of the deliciously needy noises his boyfriends loved so much in the full car.
When the guitarist started pressing kisses to Bojan’s cheek, trailing his mouth towards his temple, lips resting against the side of his head as he caught his breath, Nace leaned forward, pressing his own lips to the younger man’s.
Bojan smiled into the kiss, his hand reaching for Nace’s face now, slowly stroking his cheek.
Nace couldn’t help but dart his tongue out, chasing traces of Jan on Bojan’s lips and delving further, exploring the sweet mouth he knew so well and enjoying the way Bojan yielded so prettily, relaxing beneath them.
When he was about to pull back, sensing the way Bojan’s tiny, quiet sighs were about to turn into needy little whimpers, Kris’ voice cut through the silence of the van. “Oh thank Christ!” 
Nace pressed another quick peck to the smaller man’s lips and looked up, realising they had started moving again at some point, the signs ahead welcoming them to the airport. Jan had also lifted his head and was smiling at Nace while Bojan was bouncing excitedly in his seat between them. 
Kris and Jure were both turning around in their seats, one sleepily blinking at them while the other held up his phone with the flight schedule, quickly telling them how much time they’d have until their flight.
When they arrived in front of the terminal, Bojan beamed at Jan and Nace before dashing around the van, quickly trying to help unload everything. 
Nace sighed and passed a hand over his face, the stress from the unexpected traffic jam and seeing everyone else, but especially Bojan, so anxious still making him feel restless. 
Strong arms wrapped around him, hands burying in his hair and pulling him into a slim shoulder. Jan nuzzled the side of his head. “We better help unload the van,” the guitarist murmured and Nace nodded.
Pulling back he straightened up, reaching for Jan’s face to connect their lips for a moment, chuckling when someone almost ran into them, arms wrapping around the both of them. 
“We’ve gotten everything out of the trunk and Jure and Kiki are getting luggage carts. I’m so fucking glad we made it on time,” came Bojan’s voice and Nace and Jan pulled the smaller man into their sides, hugging him tight.
“I love you,” Nace told the two men, the answering ‘Love you too’s settling the last of his nerves. He could hear the baggage trolleys approaching, Jure and Kiki seemingly racing each other, and they went to sort their luggage onto the carts. 
If anyone fancies sending me more prompts (which I will also fill within the aforementioned 5-500 business days) you can do so using this list.
