I will say while I've loved most of elden ring I'm really glad I'm down to just 2 more main boss fights (malenia + maliketh) before I start the endgame boss fights... whew 😮‍💨
#really gorgeous world but frankly its unnecessarily long. theyre gonna kill me for saying that but its true..#some areas/bosses just become overly repetitive when the game is THAT massive like its unavoidable#they tried rly hard to distinguish every area + honestly its a great effort but it couldve been half the size and just as good#like i just did the elphael ulcerative tree spirit bc i wanted to finish millicents questline. and come on man we didnt need another one#the design is sick + loooove the animation. but its a bad fight not bc of the difficulty but bc its janky as hell#lock on doesnt work properly bc of its size and the way it moves. u cant see shit on ur screen fighting them melee its just hack n slash#and theyre always in the most dogshit arenas possible for them like spaces w no maneuverability. its just not fuuuun#especially after youve fought 5 or 6 already earlier on in the game..#and its cool to have variations like the scarlet rot ones but we already HAD one of those just before lake of rot!! the gimmicks worn off#i did everything except maliketh in farum azula today as well and again. it didnt need to be that long. killing beastmen gets boring#after like the first 20 combat is just mashing buttons.. even the platforming is getting dull bc ive done 120 hours of it now#and theres only so many combinations of ladders and hallways and so on that u can possibly cram in here..#i say all this with fondness like i truly do love it. but it couldve been a lot tighter! regardless ill still 100% complete it#and i get most ppl dont try to get every single armament and talisman etc so they probably dont waste time FULLY exploring like i am#ahhh. anyway ill probably do malenia and maliketh tmr bc im right outside both of their arenas. and then call it quits this weekend#ill get my first ending next weekend probably... and hopefully by june ill have 100% and then i can play something else 😭#ik the dlc comes out in june but ill probably take a month or two break before i get to that#it doesnt even neeeed a dlc.......its excessive as it is just make a new game by this point ahhhhh#anyway its like 1am i need to SLEEP. i said i would go out to watch for northern lights but its overcast and im tired and my roommate#didnt wanna come with.. so i was gonna go to bed early instead but i guess that didnt happen lol#gonna feel like shit tomorrow bc i have to be up early to take my meds and she'll wake me up anyway.. but cross that bridge#typing is getting difficult bc im so sleepy okay goodnight everyone#.diaries

more hero is larks daughter ramblings and predictions under the cut spoilers for s2 of dndads!!!! also this was like. at 1am. so any typos or anything are just bc i was soup brained sorry ;;
people forgetting hero exists drive me crazy. i cannot see a way that norm is actually larks son unless hero was born out of wedlock (bc i think they mention explicitly lark slept with rebecca the night before sparrow married her???? or smth??? let me go back. OKAY WENT BACK AND HOLY SHIT apparently lark just only now told sparrow abt fucking rebecca and larks like “oh i knew but it was too awkward to talk about so i let it slide :)” and lark explicitly states he fucked rebecca while shr was engaged to sparrow) which. idk i feel like. sparrow is so desperate for normality would he really not jsut. marry rebecca the second he realizes shes pregnant with hero?
so to me. i think narratively my prediction. if we go with the hero is larks kid theory. and not scary is larks kid. is that. so hero was an unexpected baby. hero wasnt intentional. maybe she was born on a day that made it plausible she was either of their kid. sparrow, never quite sure and never able to BE sure bc he and lark r twins obv. named hero. well hero incthe most petty move EVER. a constant reminder of what lark Did. not just sleeping with his wife but a reminder of the unsung hero needed to release the doodler. hero is not just a reminder of larks guilt snd mistakes. shes a reminder of *henry*. and maybe that inadvertently makes sparrow distant from her as well. i dont know which way sparrows relationship with henry went. part of me wonders if maybe lark was closer wjth mercedes and sparrow was closer with henry. who knows. im ramblings and off topic but anyway.
maybe sparrows distant with hero bdcause shes not his daughter. becaude he *knows*, potentially, she might Not be his. and sparrow doesn’t want that because thats not *normal* its not *conventional*. this also explains him marrying centrist rebecca (does not explain what wa sin her pussy to make lark wanna hit it too if im correct abt him being closer to mercedes. maybe im off and he was closer to autumn. idk). maybe hero already felt eldest daughter syndrome, compounded by the fact that her birth dad feels shame and guilt not just bc of her name and the circumstances of her brith but also bc he just doesnt feel worthy of bejng a father. arms length and all that.
and so. NORMAL. normal is guaranteed sparrows son now. in this version of events. and its perfect now its fine because normal is his normal is his son and not larks. sparrow is happy. forget about hero she doesnt count because shes mayeb not his. forget her. and then normal isnt. normal. hes weird. he wears a mascot suit all tbe time. he doesnt realize people laugh at him not with him. and thats not okay. thats wrong. thats Out of the Ordinary that interrupts the daily flow and its JJST BARRY AGAIN. its JUST barry but maybe even WORSE. because barry believed his son superior. sparrow thinks his son is lesser.
sparrow likes his son fine but hes not proud of him. he doesnt wanna show him off. LARK. though. uncle lark is Everytbing. theres no shame attached to normal liek there js to hero. hero’s his brith child and hed mess it up but hey. he cant do worse to normal than sparrow has. and maybe lark sees a bit of himself in norm. sees a kid who wasnt accepted by his father. who wasnt as Respected because sparrow was a love wolf and lark wasnt. lark looks at normal and can see him get crushed under a giant pyramid. lark looks at normal and worries hed be the next lord of chaos.
so lark. co parents. he cares for norm. he pretends fo be his brother to apologize for the bullshit he said. he does—in his fucked up, traumatized way—his best to prepare norm for things he might experience. theres no shame attached to norm like there is hero because hero’s birth almost ruined sparrow. ruined his perfect life with hsi perfect wife. so lark can step up when sparrow. cant. or doesnt. lark supports norm. maybe to make up for whst he cant do for hid actual daughter.
also im biased but i like lark having a daughter a lot. in a show where everyone has sons ofc the one who has a daughter (a BIRTH daughter, too, so still a first even if i love terry and scary) is LARK. fhats prob why i prefer lark ebing hero or scarys dad to norms. anyways.
where does that leave hero? who doesnt have sparrows adoration and attention because she might not be his. who doesnt have larks because she MIGHT be.
well…………………. maybe scary breaks free from willy’s manipulation. maybe willy needs somebody to help him pull the strings from his side. maybe willy can step up not for taylor, but for somebody else. somebody who has TWO male adults in her life who push her aside for her baby brother. and willy really needs daddy magic. so maybe. maybe just maybe.
willy finds an unsung hero in a different way.

chapter 5, page 48
first - previous - next
[image description: an sac webcomic page. "seems like a normal kitchen. coast's clear, but it's locked." jade says, off panel. theres a view of the kitchen from the outside. no acual kitchen appliances are shown, but there is a island counter, and a few shelves in the back with various items, notably camera equipment, cleaning supplies, and assorted boxes. "we'll have to break in here, everything else is boarded. you remember what i taught you about breaking glass?" she continues. "yeah. it'll be loud though" lewis replies. "we'll just have to take whoever hears us." jade states, the panel now showing jade hiding to the side of the window, looking at it out of the corner of her eye, while lewis has wandered off and is kneeled down to pick up something off the ground. "this glass seems sturdier than the wine glasses lewis practiced with... can he do it? i've never been able to get the frequency right, but surely any glass will break with a loud enough noise?" jade thinks to herself, looking through the window, still to the side of it, while frowning contemplatingly. she seems to be unaware of lewis behind her, raising the brick he just picked up like one would when preparing to pitch a baseball, and sticking his tongue out in concentration. end id]
yall are getting a treat with me drawing actual backgrounds the past few pages! my computer fucking hates it and has tried to crash my art program many times but im not losing to a fucking machine so the page is ready to go! and yeah i didnt think to google what a broken wire fence looks like until typing this
anyway some life updates. next page may be a little late, i have a convention this weekend (if anyone is headed to animeleague london anime and gaming festival this weekend feel free to say hi! its the one with the star fairy lights and like. my art in it? yeah. also for the same con in birmingham in a couple weeks)
also ended up getting those wooden pride cat pins! or the charms, i need to glue the actual pin bits in and that tomorrow's task!! and even more importantly, i've started the process of trying to make sac into an actual printed comic!! so far it seems like im just going to start with chapter 1, because with the printer im thinking of using, anything over 76?ish pages is automatically more expensive so currently only have the funds for chapter one (50ish pages inc bonus and prologue).
also because turns out theres more work than i thought. theres some things like getting the colours cmyk ready and fixing typos and other errors, there is some size problems (the first 6 pages in particular need to be redone entirely but not much of a loss. they look.... Not Great. maybe prologue too). also some "accidentally lost some files and the backups of said files in an external drive related incident a couple years ago" but i've got my best experts on the case (asking my dad for help). i also need to change the font since the old pages are using the old version of the font. also a front cover because i never made a cover for chapter 1. anyway. its a start
anyway this was long i really needed to sleep a few hours ago lol. its only 1am but its been a day

Lina!! While I stew over your title (well actually I'm going to sleep because it's like 1am here) I thought I'd give you one of mine to swap now so that you don't have to wait until I'm done lol
How do we feel about "lavender mist" ?
this... is likely not what you imagined when you came up with that title. unfortunately I’m not sorry :) anyway, check out casey’s original drabble here (it’s super fucking cute), and I hope you enjoy this reinterpretation of the title <3
half inspired by a post apocalyptic universe @sleepyowlwrites shared with me some time ago - thanks for that, sleepy 💕💕
wc: 1.7k ~ no pairing (main characters: taehyun and beomgyu) ~ apocalypse!au ~ triggers: cursing, mentions of blood and guns, character death, zombies ~ txt masterlist
~ As the world falls, Taehyun keeps moving on.
Tumblr media
[ lavender mist ] The end of the world isn’t as barren as Taehyun thought it would be.
Every apocalyptic movie he remembers - and to be fair, his memory is a bit fuzzy after years of trudging along cracked sidewalks and empty streets - painted the world as something gray, dusty, bleak, as though with the collapse of humanity, the earth would collapse too. Taehyun would watch, heart in his throat as survivors did everything they could to continue living even though the warm embrace of Mother Earth had long turned cold as marble. With the loss of her favorite children, the human race, she had lost the will to live as well. 
What bullshit.
The earth survived perfectly fine by itself for millions of years before humanity decided to encroach on its territory. It never needed mankind, probably never even wanted it - one glance around at the overgrown grass and flowers and trees, weeds shooting up from sidewalk cracks and tangling around abandoned cars and homes, tells all. 
The earth never needed humans. Probably never wanted them, either. 
And if that’s the case, Taehyun doesn’t really know why he keeps trying to survive. 
But then again, there are a lot of things he doesn’t know. Why he isn’t dead yet. Why everyone around him is gone but he still stays. Why the sun beats so ungodly hot during the summer and the wind whips so unbearably cold in the winter. Why he keeps moving instead of staying in one place, running from ghosts that don’t exist. 
Why he keeps an empty can of lavender scented Febreze in his bag, its mist long since dispersed into the world from the day Beomgyu plucked it off a mostly barren supermarket shelf and, despite Taehyun’s raised eyebrows and obvious concern for the state of his sanity, shoved it in his bag. 
“I don’t know!” Beomgyu had said, hands raised in mock indignation when Taehyun asked him hours later after the generally unsuccessful supermarket raid. “Don’t interrogate me!”
“I wasn’t interrogating. I just want to know,” Taehyun had replied, deadpan as ever even as he tried to hide a smile. Things may have changed, but Beomgyu was always the same - loud-mouthed, chaotic, random, always fueled by some desire to care, even if he didn’t know it. 
The hands came down but Beomgyu’s smile stayed even as he shrugged. “I don’t know,” he’d repeated. “It was just there, so I took it.” Taehyun had snorted at that (that’s the most Beomgyu reply ever), but he wasn’t done. “I guess I just... didn’t want to leave with nothing at all.”
“Do you even know how it smells?”
“... Look, it has to be better than whatever the fuck is outside.”
It is better, but mostly because it’s hard not to be better than the stench of rotten corpses mixed with the tang of dried blood and coupled with the scent of blooming flowers in the wind that somehow makes it all worse. Strong, too - clearly a year of sitting unused on a shelf hadn’t done much to dampen its scent. The first time Beomgyu sprays it, more on accident than anything else, he and Taehyun have to stifle coughs and sneezes for too many minutes as the mist tickles their noses.
And yet they keep it.
Which is weird, because most useless things that Taehyun (and Beomgyu, despite his inner child) would put in the same category as questionable Febreze get left behind. There’s no space for luxuries in their bags, no jewelry or money or anything that would’ve had value before the world went to shit - even the two dingy string bracelets braided with five different colors that used to dangle around their wrists have since frayed to the point of falling off. Things like Febreze should never have held a place in their lives.
But Beomgyu carves a place for its too strong flowery sweet scent, a tiny puff into the air nearby when they’re finally safe from a zombie attack, a small spray to freshen up their latest shelter as much as they can after sweeping one too many piles of dirt out the door. And as they keep struggling through the barren world, emptying the can on their way, Taehyun has to wonder - when humanity has completely fallen and another race takes up the earth, what will they be remembered by? Will it be broken braided bracelets threaded in five different colors fallen by the side of the road? Will it be photos of the dead left in abandoned frames in abandoned homes, or stuffed in dirty bags and soiled by dust and rain? 
Will it be an empty can of lavender mist at the bottom of a survivor’s bag, the strong, sweet scent of home still a wisp in the air?
Beomgyu had always had more hope than Taehyun. He believed that maybe one day humanity would return, would learn from its previous mistakes of greed and fortune to create a world better than this one. Taehyun asks him about this more than once - it’s fascinating to him, Beomgyu’s patient optimism even as the world seems to grow harsher and more unforgiving of humanity’s transgressions with every day that passes. His answer is always the same. 
“I think we still have good in this world.” Taehyun can picture dark, playful eyes staring into his, the barest wisp of a smile on Beomgyu’s lips. Beautiful as always, not in spite of the dirt caking his skin and the exhaustion weighing down his face but because of it - the struggle that forged a diamond sparkling in the ashes of the earth. “We’ve survived this long, Taehyun. I have to believe that someday, we’ll come back.”
Relentless optimism, even where Taehyun only saw death and disaster in every street they passed, every horde they escaped, every undead life they took to ensure the continuation of their own. No matter what he said in his moments of despair, Beomgyu always gave him comfort in the weight of his hand in his, in the press of his body against Taehyun’s during cold nights, in the brief dusting of lavender mist into the air...
And one day, the scent isn’t too strong. It isn’t too sweet. It’s a break, a respite, a piece of the old world that miraculously wasn’t lost even in the wake of disaster. 
It smells like home.
When Taehyun looks at Beomgyu then - really looks at Beomgyu - as he sprays small bursts of mist into the air of their new makeshift shelter, it only takes him a minute to realize that Beomgyu feels this way, too. That he’s probably felt it for a long time.
Maybe that’s why Taehyun isn’t surprised to find the empty can in Beomgyu’s bag, long after he’d sprayed the last of its scent into the air. He blinks a little when it comes out in his hand and for a moment he thinks he should be surprised, given how the two of them had gotten rid of waste wherever they could, but somehow this souvenir of sentiment surpasses that. A reminder, however small, of home. 
He tries the valve, even though he knows it’s empty. Nothing comes out.
It’s been three days since Beomgyu has gone. Three days since he showed Taehyun the bite, three days since he guided the gun towards his head, three days since Taehyun pulled the trigger and watched Beomgyu’s body collapse to the ground, a final small smile on his face.
Only then, with the empty metal can in his hand, does Taehyun finally cry.
For his parents, who were at work when the outbreak got to them and never managed to get out alive. 
For his friends who passed first, three of the five strings that frayed over the years until the knotted bracelet fell off his wrist, one of them disappeared, the other two confirmed dead.
For Beomgyu, the fourth string, his only family left, his last thread of hope in this apocalyptic world.
For him, Taehyun, the fifth string and the last one alive, so far from home and never to return.
Taehyun cries for the hope Beomgyu carried that was destroyed three days ago with the bullet he shot with his very own hands. A bullet that took the last of everything he had, leaving him with -
Nothing.
(What will the world remember him by when he goes?)
When Taehyun wakes the next day, eyes red and cheeks sticky with tears, something in him begs to stay still. What use is there in forging on, in living when everything else has been lost, when there’s nothing left to survive for? 
(A crumpled family photo drenched by rain?)
Is there even a point?
(Or a braid of five frayed strings, buried under the dust by the road?
But he rolls over. Stands. Places the empty can back in Beomgyu’s bag, picks it up along with his. Slings them over his back.
And starts walking.
(Perhaps a can of lavender mist at the bottom of a beaten-up bag, a scent that belongs to loss, but that also belongs to hope.)
Maybe Taehyun does know why, then, why he has to keep going. Because while there is nothing left for him, there is still something left for Beomgyu. A hope. A dream. A wish. A prayer whispered on lavender scented air, too sweet and too strong and still smelling of home - a prayer that the world will come back someday.
And if it does, even if it’s only in the last moments of Taehyun’s life, he has to see it. For Beomgyu.
So as the sun beats harsh on his brow, branches catching on his clothes with the snarl of animals and the undead alike sounding faint in his ears, all Taehyun can do is forge on through the strangling arms of Mother Nature, slogging through overgrown grass with sweat in his hair, cuts on his skin, tears in his eyes -
And the scent of lavender mist in his nose, no matter where he goes.
Tumblr media
If you enjoyed, please don’t forget to reblog and leave a comment to tell me what you thought! Thank you for reading and have a lovely day <3
(1 reblog = 1 hug for Taehyun, also 1 prayer for some fluff thoughts bc I have too many angst ideas and I need some softness in my life)

HELLO CHECKERS. IM SO FUCKING SORRY. IM HERE AGAIN JVJFNVFNVJV. listen. whenever anything tragic happens to me i feel like i need to report back to you, its a tradition to me. anyway, this actually happened a few days ago but i was so emotionally distraught and so embarrassed of myself that i was avoiding telling you about it but here i am. im sorry to you and your followers for making u read this shit but i was going through an arc.
SO ANYWAY. after the lucas apparition my dear friend rebo became suddenly obsessed with what happened. you need to understand she's relatively normie, like, she knows abt the weird shit i get up to but she knew nothing abt the enceeteeverse, i think she was deliberately ignoring it for her sanity. but the lucas apparition devastated her and i think as some sort of coping mechanism she tried to find meaning to our shared trauma. so she was wondering. why did lucas choose us. what do we have in common. for some fucking reason she got the idea to combine our discord colors and she got lilac. she then googled lilac enceetee (IM TRYING NOT TO SAY THE ACTUAL NAME BC MY ASKS TO YOU SHOW ON SEARCHES AND IF ANY NORMAL PERSON SEES THIS I WILL DIE) and apparently they released A SPECIAL VERSION OF STICKER THAT WAS LILAC???? so my friend was determined. she decided to listen to the WHOLE ALBUM. i joined her eventually. our thoughts on the music are irrelevant, but what you need to know is that at some point we started looking for clues on the lyrics and if something reminded of us a song we would jump to that song and try to find a meaning to it. we called it the nct arg. this went on for A WHILE. eventually noxia and our friend lynx and joined us and we were all just fucking around deciphering the clues.
we got so into it. and at some point we did actually find what you could call a message if you want to, except it was in all in our heads. its such a good example of the way the brain searches for pattern.
after a long search, our clues lead us to this video. i can still remember the way we were all screaming at like 1am... you need to understand that at this point i was so invested in our made up story that for one small second it didn't compute that this was a a prank. like my heart dropped to my stomach vnjfvfnvjvnjv OBVIOUSLY I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT THATS HOW FAR GONE I WAS...
so the rest of the night was us trying to figure out who the fuck made the video. i was so tired at this point, so while everyone was arguing i was just looking up dumb shit on youtube. and i thought haha wouldnt it be funny if i looked up "lucas horror game." so i did. checkers.... i found a game called LUCAS THE BASEMENT. I THINK THIS IS WHAT BROKE ME. IDK WHAT HAPPENED BUT THAT GENUINELY MADE ME SO UPSET??? I FELT SO OVERSTIMULATED AND IRRATIONALLY ANGRY, ITS VERY FUNNY LOOKING BACK BUT THE HORRORS FELT SO REAL... i calmed down. sort of. and then i keep looking up dumb shit, as if i hadn't just learned what that gets me. i looked up "lucas the hedgehog" bc idk i thought it sounded funny. the first fucking result had the word STICKER in it. THIS MADE ME FEEL WORSE. I WAS SO GENUINELY UPSET NVFJNVJFVN
eventually it was revealed that it was both noxia and lynx fucking with us. i was so tired, i just left call and went to bed. but you need to understand the distress was so real to me i genuinely didnt sleep well that night. like i woke up and it felt like i didnt sleep at all. THIS IS GOING TOO FAR, IM TIRED.
anyway. do NOT listen to encee fucking tee, it ruined my life, i want to escape. i keep seeing patterns everywhere. its consuming me. i cant remember when this was but one day a mutual saw me having an enceetee breakdown and said "im starting to genuinely feel bad for you" NOOOOO JFVNJFVNNFV. im ok. im fine. lucas isn't real.
Oh ghskfkskfks I forgot abt the asks showing up in searches based on keywords, rip. Every time I get another ask like this I think the lore can't get any worse AND THEN IT DOES. I can't believe they pranked u, that's so funny but so 😭😭. Also someone should make a meme out of this w the dominoes falling and the first step is becoming obsessed w the lucas in the basement jokes and we still haven't reached the last step. Anyway thank u for keeping me updated on this, at least ur pain and confusion had a purpose (sending me funny unhinged asks abt encetee shenanigans)

just finished writing this and realized how long it got oh jeez i am so sorry. i promise it is just me rambling about nothing and does not require a lot of thought.
i made a playlist of r5's entire discography and am listening to it (in order) because there is something wrong with me. if only it had their very first ever ep on it (ready set rock ep you may have been slight garbage but i don't love you any less for it). oh god i realized i fucked up and didn't add the songs by "ross lynch and r5" from the austin & ally soundtrack. i'm already three songs into louder and they would have been between louder and say you'll stay. what do i have to do is actually one of r5's best songs and i'm pretty sure i remember ross calling it one of his favs fairly recently?? which was so valid of him. anyways. this is now an r5 song ranking. i'm bored and avoiding doing assignments. i'm going to name my top 10 r5 songs off the top of my head. source: me trying to remember every song they've ever released.
no. 1: easy love. nothing comes close. my fav song they ever made. they haven't made anything that even compares since (this is /hj. tde has some valid songs).
no. 2: wishing i was 23. what do you mean i only love this song because of my nostalgia bias no i don't.
no. 3: what do i have to do? i will not elaborate i do not know why i adore this song as much as i do it's just a cute song.
no. 4: repeating days. THE END. THE FUCKING END AFTER THE SONG ENDS THE "all i've got is cheap wine" PART ross sounds so vulnerable and him with just the guitar makes me so :(((((( it's so gorgeous that part makes the whole song and that makes it top 3 for me.
no. 5: i want u bad. THAT SONG FUCKS LIVE. I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT LIVE AGAIN. (speaking of concerts i can't believe you bought concert tix and fucking forgot??? that is actually so fucking funny bella it made me laugh i will not lie)
no. 6: dark side. so so valid of them. it just fucks. it's so good. it makes u want to dance. u named a fic after a lyric from it which was so valid.
no. 7: did you have your fun? i love this song. no i will not elaborate. it is a sexy song. what's that one lyric from it that's hot. "love me, leave me, left me numb" some lyrics you love for no particular reason and for me that's one of those lyrics.
no. 8: f.e.e.l.g.o.o.d. this has alwayysss been one of my favs by them. since it dropped. some lore about it: the like crowd yelling that's in it they recorded live at a festival they played and i remember there being hype about this being an unreleased song when they had the crowd chanting "f-e-e-l-g-o-o-d" with no explanation. also another fun fact is that the final version of this is just a demo?? source: my slightly faulty memory remembering ross saying something about some demos being so good that you keep them as they are and it later being revealed this was the song he was talking about.
no. 9: i know you got away. sexy song. they released a vocals only version of it (that has apparently since been deleted?? i went to look for it on youtube and couldn't find it?? wtf r5) that has stuck with me ever since.
no. 10: loud. but more specifically the acoustic or live version. this was their encore song that they played to end every show. i MISS IT. it holds a special place in my heart.
honorable mentions: hurts good (a good song and THEIR LAST THEY EVER RELEASED VV SAD), wild hearts (fun fact almost picked a lyric from this song as my senior quote till i found out they didn't write this song), fallin' for you (YOU LIKE MISMATCHED SOCKS WITH POLKA DOTS YOU LIKE YOUR PIZZA COLD I THINK THATS HOT i never saw this song live and i'm still fucking pissed about it ok), do it again (it's such a sweet song :(((( "listen to the airplanes as we count the stars" gives me the same vibes as six feet under the stars), things are looking up (generally just a cute song!! this whole ep is just very good and very cute!! when i saw it live one time during the bridge ross was like "everyone shut up this is my favorite part >:(" and that was so valid of him) i can't say i'm in love (it's just a fun song!! it was a bonus track on sln from another country), trading time (this is the only song from the new addictions ep that i listed and u know what i'm Not sorry)
ok. i will spare you and stop rambling. other honorable mentions: if you have never listened to cool girl (feat. the driver era) by new beat fund i highly recommend. it's an okay song but it was one of the first songs released after they rebranded as tde and includes ross saying motherfucker with his whole chest. i will never again feel what i felt the first time i heard that song having listened exclusively to them as r5 whose songs they couldn't curse in because they were on a disney label.
in conclusion. i miss r5. ross saying fuck is kinda hot. i listened to the entirety of louder while writing this. i am sorry to dump this in your askbox. i still have multiple assignments to do and should probably go to sleep at a decent time. it feels fitting to finally stop writing while easy love is on. when i was 12 and this ep came out i thought "dirtbags" was a curse word and was scared to sing it. they changed it to "douchebags" live.
that's all. goodbye. have a lovely night. listen to r5's discography for clear skin thriving crops etc etc. sorry to lovepost about them in your askbox i only have (1) former r5 mutual that i still talk to (a very interesting but long story. she's the gemini bestie) and she will only lovepost about r5 once in a while. feel free to ignore my ask calling cody bellinger hot i was a different person when i wrote it i am now a changed woman. LOVE YOU MWAH - bella but she misses r5
hi hi im going to answer this with minimal thought because im tired but i dont wanna leave this sitting in my inbox forever but for the record all your r5 opinions are valid. ok lets go
1. easy love slaps ive heard it a couple times over the last few days (it played in the car today while i was driving sam n meghna to the airport) and it does fuck i can see why it's your fave
2. i do not know this song
3. A BOP A WHOLE FUCKIN BOP
4. oh i do love repeating days great choice i would have to hear it a few more times to get it in my head but i remember really liking it when i listened to the album it's on
5. also a banger and i'm glad my concert tickets situation made you laugh it made me laugh too imagine being this useless gldskfjgs
6. DARK SIDE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS GIVE IN TO YOUR DARK SIDE YOUR DARK SIDE IIIIIIIII SEE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT MEEEEE
7. ANOTHER FUCKING BANGER this one is probably among my favorite r5 songs maybe top 5 LOVE ME LEAVE ME LEFT ME NUMB (guitar moment) DID YOU HAVE YOUR FUUUuuuuUUUUUNNNNN i feel the same way about this lyric as you
8. oh shit thats pretty cool i dont know this song tbh i cant remember how it goes i know ive heard it once or twice but. id have to listen to it again so i will keep you posted on that

nothing on you - mason mount
part 2 of not yours ITS HERE IM SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG AND I HOPE ITS OKAY
for @mounthavertz bc i didn’t want to ruin ur life <3
Tumblr media
Mason hated being in a fight with you, even small petty fights he’d feel bad and would grovel more than necessary and then the two of you would be talking again. But this wasn’t just a fight over who cheated at Monopoly, this was a full blown he’d royally fucked up fight and he didn’t know if he could ever fix it.
He knew from the very beginning that sleeping with you would be a mistake, not because he didn’t really want to, but because he knew that once you broke that barrier there was no going back. Mason knew from that very first night you spent together that he’d never be able to give his heart to anyone else. And he’s an idiot for not telling you that, he’s an idiot for keeping his feelings a secret for fear he’d ruin your friendship because he went and did that anyway.
He never meant for it to seem like he was thriving off the attention of the girls in the club, he really wasn’t, the entire time he’d been thinking about you and how those girls could never compare. He didn’t want to draw attention to the two of you, your relationship was kept incredibly quiet and he knew if he put his hands on you in that dress he wouldn’t be able to take them away. So he’d distracted himself by making small talk and sneaking glances at you at the bar.
Something had flipped inside of him when he’d saw you with Chilly. He should be the one allowed to touch you like that, he didn’t want anyone else to have that privilege when he already knew just which buttons to press to have your legs shaking. But then Elle had asked him to go with her and Mason knows that’s what really upset you. The thought that you could be easily replaced by a one night stand and then he’d come crawling straight back the second he had his trousers zipped up.
Mason had sent you over one hundred messages since the night before and had called probably just as much but every single one of his pleas to talk had gone unanswered. He felt like he’d lost something and didn’t know where to look to find it, his mind was a mess of thoughts that you’d never forgive him. He didn’t care about the sex, he just couldn’t lose you as a friend.
He let out a frustrated groan into his hands, after attempting to call you yet again. He wanted to see you in person, wanted to tell you everything but he still didn’t know where you’d ended up last night. He pulled his phone toward him again and pulled up Hannah’s contact, your best friend answering on the third ring.
“If it isn’t the man of the hour.”
“Where is she?”
“Hmm. I don’t think she’d want me to tell you.” Mason strained to hear if you were in the background but it sounded like Hannah was at work at the coffee house.
“Hannah, please.”
“You fucked up, y’know.”
“I’m more than aware of what I did. I need to talk to her.” Mason rubbed his knuckles into his eyes, chest tight with the fear of you really hating him.
“If she wanted to talk to you, Mason, she would have by now.”
“I need to fix this. Let me fix it.” He heard Hannah huff out a breath and his heart picked up a little.
“She’s at work till 1AM then she said she was going straight back to her flat.” Mason was nodding even though Hannah couldn’t see and he was flicking his gaze up to the clock on his wall. It was still only 6PM.
“Thank you. I’m sorry I called I just… She’s not replying and I need to see her.” He pushed himself up from the chair at the kitchen island.
“If you’re just going to hurt her again Mason, don’t even bother going. Don’t put her through more than you already have.”
“I never meant to hurt her.”
“Maybe not but you did. I have to go, if she comes crying to me just know I will rip your balls off.” Mason couldn’t help the little smile that pulled at his lips.
“I’m not going to hurt her. But thanks, Hannah.”
Mason parked his car outside of your block of flats a little before 12AM, unable to sit in his house and wait any longer. He switched turned the engine off and settled back in his seat, pulling the sleeves of his hoodie down past his fingers to avoid the little chill still in his car. He’d texted you a few times since the phone call with Hannah but you still hadn’t read the messages and he hadn’t told you he was coming tonight.
He texted Declan while he waited, letting his best friend rail road him for being such a dickhead but he must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing he knew he was being jolted awake by someone whacking their fist against his window. At first he thought it was the police and someone had called them complaining about a weird man lurking out front but then his eyes had focused and it was you glaring at him through the window. Despite the look on your face Mason’s heart thumped. He scrambled to get out of the car, almost tripping in his haste to be face to face with you.
“Why are you stalking me?” You asked, completely ignoring his gaze so you could rifle through your bag for your keys.
“You were ignoring me.”
“Of course I was, I don’t want to talk to you but that doesn’t give you permission to linger like some weirdo.” You successfully found your keys, finally glancing up and meeting his eyes. Mason noticed the way you were shivering slightly in the cold air and wanted nothing more than to wrap you up against him.
“You walked home?”
“No, I got a taxi. Go home, Mason.” He shook his head and took a step forward but you flinched back and Mason’s stomach plummeted.
“(Y/N)..”
“I was ignoring you for a reason, I don’t want to see you so go away.” You turned and started up the walkway to your building but Mason quickly followed, clicking the lock on his car over his shoulder. He stepped in front of you, hands on your arms.
“We need to talk.” He tried not to flinch away from your harsh glare, he knew you were angry but he just wanted you to listen to him.
“I don’t want to talk. I want to go to bed because I’m exhausted and I don’t have the energy to have this out with you. I’m sure you can find someone else to fuck. There were plenty of girls passing out their numbers last night.” You started forward again and Mason trailed behind you like a lost puppy, willing his heart ache to go away for just five minutes. “You can’t follow me all the way inside, Mount.”
“Please just let me explain.” You spun around at the front entrance, traces of anger replaced with a look of bone deep tiredness.
“What’s there to explain? You like the attention you get from girls, myself included and I was stupid to think that I was the only girl who had your whole focus. You just wanted to fuck me and whenever you had better options you used them.” Mason opened his mouth to speak but you cut him off. “You were a prick to me. You fucked that girl and then got mad at me for dancing with a guy. We aren’t dating, Mason, we were just sleeping together, it’s fine, we can do whatever we want.”
Mason shook his head, arm reaching past you to grip the door handle so you couldn’t open it.
“I didn’t sleep with Elle.”
“That’s bullshit. The two of you disappeared and you can’t deny how smug you seemed when you first came back.” Your eyes had gone a little shiny and it made Mason’s heart clench painfully.
“I didn’t sleep with her, (Y/N). I haven’t slept with anyone else since you.” He watched as you shook your head this time, disbelief clouding your features. You shoved his arm away from the door and took off inside.
“You’re a liar.”
“Why won’t you believe me?” Mason followed after you, unable to keep the panic from his voice. He kept on your heels as you started up the stairs and he briefly noted that they still hadn’t fixed your lift.
“Because I see the way you are around girls, Mason. I see them throw themselves at you and you act like it’s nothing.” You were slamming your feet against the each step and Mason was worried someone was going to come out and start yelling.
“I act like it’s nothing because it is nothing. I don’t care what they do. Have you ever actually seen me go off with a girl?”
“You went off with one last night! Right in front of me.”
“No I didn’t. I went to the bar because I was sick of seeing you rub yourself all over my best mate.”
“Yeah well I was sick of you flirting with everything that had tits so.” Mason clasped his hand around your wrist when you made it to your floor, spinning you around to face him.
“So you did it to make me jealous?”
“So what if I did? It doesn’t matter anymore.” You tried to pull away but Mason was ridged, eyes burning into yours.
“Why would me flirting with girls piss you off, (Y/N)? I thought we were just sleeping together?” He mocked you slightly with your previous words and he watched you falter and fumble. You blinked at him a few times before answering.
“Because it was shitty of you to do it right in front of me and then just expect me to go home and have sex with you. Because it was wrong of you to always act like that but get mad at me for a bit of dancing. We were just sleeping together so why does it even matter anymore? I’m sure you can find someone else.”
“I don’t want to find anyone else.” You shook your head at this, finally pulling your arm away.
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“Pretend like you care about me as more than just a shag. I’m not doing that with you.” Mason made an exasperated noise, pushing his hand through his hair.
“God, (Y/N), it was never just about the sex for me how can you not see that?” You were still shaking your head, moving down the hallway.
“Please go home, Mason. I don’t want to do this.”
“Will you just stop and listen to me?”
“I’m not being hurt by you again! You string me along like I mean nothing to you! I’m just here when you need someone to stroke your ego.” The two of you are nearing your front door and Mason feels sick with the thought that you’re going to go inside, lock the door and never speak to him again. He can’t lose you.
“You’re an idiot.” You spin around to face him, key ready to go into your lock.
“Excuse me?”
“I’m fucking in love with you.” Mason stopped dead in the hallway, eyes widening slightly as he watched you rear back.
“Stop.”
“(Y/N)-“
“No, no, stop it. Mason, please don’t.” Your voice was small and you turned to fumble with your lock, key slipping in your fingers. You felt Mason carefully come up behind you, hand covering yours to help steady it. “Please don’t say things you don’t mean.”
“I love you. I was never with you for the sex, (Y/N/N). If that was the only way I could have you then I’d take what I could get but it was never about that.” Your hand shook slightly under his. “It’s always only been you.”
You took in a shuddering breath and unlocked your door, pushing inside but leaving the door open. Mason figured you were letting him in so followed behind you, tracing your steps into the kitchen where you went straight to the fridge.
“Why wouldn’t you tell me?” Your voice was barely a whisper. “Why would you let me torture myself thinking I was just another stupid girl who you could keep hanging on?” You slowly turned to face him, lips turned down slightly.
“I was afraid.”
“Afraid of what?” You closed the fridge and leant against it, your eyes glued to his.
“That I’d tell you and it would ruin everything and I’d lose you completely. It was easier to just keep pretending it was just sex that way I could keep you in my life.” He took a small step towards you, hands stuffed in the pockets of his jumper.
“You’re a dick.”
“I know. And I’m so fucking sorry, (Y/N). I’m sorry that I ever made you feel like your weren’t important to me.”
“Do you know how much that hurt? Even as your friend, Mason, thinking that in your eyes I was easily replaced and easily thrown away. I’d let you hurt me by being around all those girls and then I’d still end up back in your bed.” You ran your hands over your face.
“Tell me how to fix it. Tell me I haven’t lost you completely.” Mason knew his voice sounded desperate but he didn’t care. He just needed to know he had some sort of chance to make things right. “Forget about the sex and everything else, just as a friend. Please tell me I can fix that.”
You shook your head, stepping away from the fridge, your eyes darting from Mason to different points in your kitchen.
“I don’t want to be your friend, Mason.” His heart plummeted, eyelashes fluttering a few times but before he could say anything you continued. “I’ve been waiting three years for you to tell me that you liked me. I’ve hurt myself thinking that I could never have you how I wanted because I was just another girl who you could use out of convenience. I don’t want to be your friend.”
You’re only a few steps away from him, close enough so that if he wanted he could reach out and pull you closer. He clenched his fists, tilting his head as you took another couple of steps.
“Then what do you want?” You stopped directly in front of him, head tilted to meet his gaze.
“I want you to know that I love you too. That it hurt so much seeing you with other girls because I wanted to be the only girl in your life. I wanted to be the one that you showed off and flirted with and looked at like I hung the moon. That I danced with Ben because I knew it would hurt you and I wanted to get you back for being with that girl.” Your chests were practically touching and Mason could feel the heat from your body.
“I really haven’t been with anyone else since you. I always only wanted you.” He watched as your eyes fluttered closed and you took in a deep breath. Your cheeks were slightly pink and Mason finally reached out to touch you, smiling softly when you leant into his hand.
“I still hate you for making me think I was replaceable.”
“I deserve it.” He cups your jaw in his hands, tilting your head to him. “There will never be anyone like you. Tell me what you want.”
“I want to do it right. I want to forget about the sex and everything that we did and I want to go out with you. On a proper date.” You told him, reaching up to grip his wrists.
“I would be honoured to take you out. We’ll do it properly this time, like everyone else.” Mason dropped a soft kiss against your forehead, heart warming when you melt against him.
“Do you want to stay?” You whispered, eyes closed and you felt Mason nod.
“I’d like that.” He brushed your hair back off your face. “None of those other girls had anything on you. There’ll never be anyone who makes me feel the way you do.” He tilted your head again, eyes burning into yours. “I love you.”

jake as your boyfriend
Tumblr media
a/n: I wrote this while very sleepy so I apologise if there are some grammatical mistakes </3 also this is 95% gender neutral apart from one point (:
open to read <3
honestly the boyfriend that anyone wishes they had
very very caring and sweet with you ):
CONSTANTLY boasts about you to the members, but in reality is pretty shy in front of you when it comes to truly describing how he feels about you, to you
jake is your number one simp and yes very openly admits it
you know how he often posts mirror selcas on twitter? YEAHH well he also takes them with you
saves it as his lockscreen photo (:
and will he stare at said photo at 1am when he cant sleep?? thinking about you?? yes
has a shared spotify playlist with you where you both can add songs to it
likes to just sit and vibe to music with you
you have SO many inside jokes with him, literally
you’ll both be around the members when someone says something and you two will just look at each other and giggle about a reference no one else but you and him understand
jake is the type of boyfriend to randomly show up at your house in the middle of the night after practice just because he misses you
jake is very cuddly!!! 
he also wears hoodies vv often so it makes cuddling with him extra comfy and soft ): not to mention how nice he smells 😳
likes laying with his head either on top of your chest or in the crook of your neck, your hands running through his hair softly ):
he is the biggest koala youve ever seen i stg
will NOT let u go as soon as he holds on,, seriously
once that man has attached to you, you know that its gonna be a while before you’ll finally be allowed to get up lmao
will beg you to come cuddle with him saying it’ll only be for 5 minutes when by the time you realise its surely been longer than 5 minutes its actually been nearly 30 minutes
will even cuddle you in front of the members. will spot you across the room and open his arms wide, beckoning you over to him on the sofa
at first it was very shy skinship in front of the others since jake only really likes sharing such precious moments with you when youre both alone, but soon enhypen adjust to it and instead it becomes a regular occurence to see u and jake sitting next to each other half draped across one another lmao
it’s embarrassing for you but its jake sim. how could you even reject your boy?
if youre in school, our smart boy will like to take interest in whatever youre studying!
sits and watches lectures with you and reads your notes lol
asks you questions to do with what youre learning and helps you revise
honestly just likes learning new things since he misses it, so he likes to pay attention with you to help you study and also for him to learn new things too! 
expect cheesy good morning texts and pickup lines whenever he is not busy lmao
also expect him to not-so-discreetly leave his hoodies at your house ever since he first saw you wear his grey one
always sends snaps(?) to you of selfies and generally updates just for you on his day. 
yes he will make them cheesy by for example saying “we are eating bibimbap for lunch today. but i wish you were here too~” or “today is so long, i hope to see your face as an energiser 😍”
he uses the ‘😍’ emoji all of the time in his tweets so expect him to use it all of the time with you too lmao
😍😍😍😍😍
yep. the emoji pretty much sums up how he feels about you tbh
doesnt mind buying you something if you ask him for it
but you never do
but will your rich boyfriend still unnecessarily splurge money on you? yes
kisses!! with jake :D
at first he will ALWAYS ask for your permission to kiss you
even after youve dated for a while he will still 95% of the time ask for your consent
mainly is because he is very very shy when kissing you
but also because he never wants to make you feel uncomfortable!! at all. NEVER. not on his watch!
very very soft, breathy and giggly kissing 🥺
likes it when you kiss his nose 🥺🥺
many giggles,, many many giggles during soft kissing hours with jakey
also likes it when you hold his neck/jaw
and as for not so soft kisses 😳
loves loves loves it when you run your hand through his hair and tug on it
soft groans from him
will deepen the kiss by holding onto your jaw to angle better
he likes french. no more comments
whenever you kiss jake its literally heaven. butterflies in your stomach,,  always !!
idk but there is just something. about the way that he leans forward and gently drops you to the bed before he’s soon on top of you and quite literally caging you between him and the bed
whenever this happens you swear you nearly pass out every time by just how simply intoxicating jake sim is. his cologne, his kisses, his hands, his words, his heat
and quite quickly is goodbye to shy, flustered jake
...anyways
NEVER lets anyone hurt you
if anyone ever disrespects you he can become pretty scary.. will get in their face and directly confronts them. but that rarely ever happens so dw!
(if youre a girl) jake is the type of boyfriend that makes no issue from you accidentally staining the bed from your period
will pause and ask you instead if youre okay, if youre in pain, if you need to go get you anything or buy you pads
will then help you change the sheets and while he waits for you to finish showering, he’ll in the meantime make the bed extra comfy and will choose a film for the cuddle session you two have after you come out 🥺
literally will do anything you ask him to
is WHIPPED for you. literally a puppy when it comes to you
Talking about puppys,, constantly shows you photos of layla
you very soon become layla’s mother in his eyes despite you not even having met her yet lmao
‘one day,’ he says. one day 😔
he really wants to take you to australia one day and show you his hometown
he even has a section in his notes app where he’s written down all of the different places he would take you to if you both did go ):
Overall such a kind and considerate boyfriend
The type of boyfriend that just makes you feel so so safe and warm. He is your home and he never fails in making you feel comforted
And same thing for him! He simply loves being around you, staring at you and complimenting you
You are his favourite person <3 and he always puts you as one of his main priorities. Always.

like you used to. jjk
Tumblr media
“So kill me like you used to...”
part two.
pairing. ex boyfriend!jungkook x reader genre. angst, mentions of smut, toxic exes warnings. very toxic depictions of relationships, hints at infidelity, drunken mistakes, they’re both very toxic for each other and just can’t stay away, brief mentions of smut word count. 2.9k note. this is just a lump of angst that my mind conjured at 1am last night, i just love angst and messy relationships that are destined to fail 😌(its not edited so if u see a typo no u dont)
Tumblr media
It always started with a phone call. 
Whether it was from you or him always changed. Sometimes he’d get the call at two in the morning, vision blurry as he brought the phone to his face and saw your name illuminated on the screen, that old goofy selfie you had together still set as your contact photo. He’d hesitate for a moment just to keep you on your toes before pressing accept, already getting up and putting pants on because he knew just what you were calling for. 
Tonight was your turn to be on the receiving end, laying in bed comfortably as you scrolled through random posts to try to help you sleep, the flash of his face fills your phone, it’s a random close up photo of his eyes staring right into the camera, crinkled up in a smile. Even though his name is changed in your contacts, no longer having the cute bunny emoji tacked to the end, you know you’ll still pick up in a heartbeat. And you do. 
The second you press accept you’re met with the familiar sound of his voice, slurred and thick as he speaks so jumbled up you would barely be able to understand him if you didn’t already know what he was saying. It was the same things he always said whenever he got like this, proclamations of love that only cut up your freshly scabbed over wounds, salt rubbing into them when he cries about how he misses you, promises to change. 
They get cut off when the phone is yanked away from his grasp, the second familiar voice belonging to his buddy Yugyeom now speaking into the receiver. “You gotta pick him up Y/N.”
The annoyance is evident in his voice, the babbling of Jungkook still heard in the background along with the dull beat of whatever place they were outside of. 
“He’s not my responsibility Yugyeom.”
He simply sighs into the phone, staring at his mess of a friend before rubbing his jaw, sore and aching from where he had just been socked after attempting to force him into an uber. “Yeah well he won’t let anyone else take him home, he’s drunk as fuck. I’ll send you the location.”
Not waiting for a response he hangs up and sends you a pin of where they’re at, thrusting the phone back into his friend’s hands before getting into that uber and leaving Jungkook alone while he whines against the dirty bar wall, crouching down onto the filthy sidewalk as the car drove off. 
Yugyeom knew you would come to his rescue like you always did, never once saying no and letting Jungkook fend for himself because on the rare occasions where you’d call him drunk and crying he’d do the same. 
Getting into the car still dressed in your pajamas, shoes thrown on without being laced up, hair still messy, it felt like routine now from how often it happened. Jungkook called you sober, text you while in a sane state of mind, but without fail at least once a month he’d get absolutely shit faced and call you, leaving you what he thought were heartfelt voicemails if by some chance you didn’t answer. 
It was the same bar every time, a bar you used to frequent with him, knowing the location and all the small side streets to get you there without needing directions. Doing this felt like such a normal part of your life it almost made you forget that you and Jungkook weren’t together anymore. It’s been a year since you split and you still find yourself thinking if things could be different. 
Would it have been best if you never confessed to each other, never admitted to the small inkling of a crush before it was able to fully blossom? It was hard not to wonder how different life would be now if you had walked away the first time things went south, if he had walked away after the first argument. 
Whenever he called you, pulled you in with those drunken promises it was easy to convince yourself that your relationship was perfect, that it was worth all of the struggles. Your brain morphed each fight, each time you cried alone, twisted it around and molded it to make it easier to consume, easier to believe you were meant to be. 
You thought you were soulmates, and maybe you were, two people destined to be together, meeting at the wrong time, under the wrong circumstances. What was meant to be perfect puzzle pieces connected had slowly turned into jagged edges that no longer clicked regardless of how hard you tried to jam them together, foolishly thinking you could spill your love into the gaps to mend the spaces, making the pieces whole once more. 
Love was never enough. 
Love made you stupid, made you blind and gullible, smiling through lies to avoid arguments, going to bed angry until he was hovering over you, coaxing you into forgiveness with soft kisses and gentle touches. It always went this way, regardless of who’s fault it was without fail he’d end up slot between your legs, the only time the puzzle pieces connected perfectly, allowing him to fuck you as if he’d never see you again. Murmurs of love and adoration were passed between panting breaths, sloppy kisses, shared moans to mask the empty promises you made every time.
Staying away from each other was a hard habit to kick, the two of you stuck on an endless game of seesaw, neither of you having the guts to get off and move on. All it took was a simple drunk phone call for you to go his way, the slur of his voice as he cries into the receiver about how much he loved you, missed you, needed you next to him, wanted to try again. It reeled you in so easily, winding you up until you were hauling your sloppy ex boyfriend off the dirty floor and into your small car. 
He remembers none of this, he never did, not fully anyways. Small tidbits of words he said flash in his mind as he comes to, drool on his cheek and neck sore from the unfortunate position he had slept in, groggy and unaware of his surroundings. 
He knew your apartment too well, recognized the green wall he had helped you paint, now holding endless pictures of you and your friends. None of Jungkook anymore. 
All of those photos were gone now, not burned or shredded in some ritual to get over him, simply tucked into a box and shoved so far into your closet you hoped you would forget it. You never did of course, the way the box laid dust free made it clear how often you pulled it out and sorted through the photos whenever you had too much wine, whenever you had off days where you just felt so alone and wished you could go back to the times you had convinced yourself were better. They weren’t, you knew they weren’t once you sobered up and balanced out your emotions.
Jungkook doesn’t feel bothered that not a trace of him remained visible in your home, he knew his presence lingered in the cracks, buried so deep in the crevices of your mind he knew you would always think of him. 
He groans softly as his eyes roam the interior of your home, the throbbing in his temples making him stop and shut his lids, not needing to analyze the place he was at less than two weeks ago when you had called him over. Jungkook briefly wonders if he should sneak his way out, not used to waking up on the couch instead of in your bed right beside you, maybe he had said something last night that crossed the line and landed him on the couch as a punishment. 
As you finally emerge from your room his plan of escape is put to a stop, his eyes gravitating towards your bedroom door, seeing the way you cautiously step out. Having heard Jungkook wake up since you had already been awake for the past hour, your body not allowing you to sleep while knowing he was in the other room, it took a few minutes of courage before you were able to face him. 
Spotting him on your couch shows how much he doesn’t belong, the pinned leather jacket he wore looking so harsh against the light coloring of your furniture, his dark disheveled hair contrasting with the tidy way you organized your apartment. He senses it, the skin crawling sensation that spreads the longer you stare at him, how he felt so out of place somewhere he used to call home at one point. 
“Thank you for picking me up.” He chooses to break the silence, voice raspy, his internal self screaming at him for always doing this. His eyes are sincere, genuinely meaning it, knowing just how messy he got when he had too much to drink, how his friends could never handle him when he crossed the line and began to call for you. 
Like always his words were routine so he expects it when you huff and say, “You need better friends Jungkook.”
“I know.” Because he did, he knew his friends enabled him, riled him up and once he became too much they pushed him onto you, knowing Jungkook’s grip on you was still too strong for you to ever say no. 
“What if I hadn’t picked you up? Would they have left you on the side of the bar to fend for yourself?”
“Probably,” he shrugs, from past experiences he knows very well they would have. His friends had dealt with Jungkook crying over you far too much, their patience fully stamped out, no longer able to tolerate him when he became like this. 
Not even realizing when he begins to smile as he thought of the nights you didn’t pick up, how he had ended up in the most random locations because he refused to go home to a place you weren’t, he snaps out of it when you scoff. “It’s not funny Jungkook, you could have gotten hurt or something.”
There it was, the reason you were upset. Not because he had called you and spewed the same bullshit he always did, no that you could tolerate. You were upset, and worried, that you’d get a following call from someone stating he had injured himself while calling for you. 
“I know.”
You pause to breathe, his short responses not irking you like it should, arms crossed over your chest as you observe your ex boyfriend still sitting on the couch, looking like a scolded child. 
“You can’t call me anymore Jungkook.” How you have the nerve to say that to him is funny, acting as if ten days ago you weren’t the one doing this to him, telling him you missed him, securing your anchor around his foot and dragging him back under with you. 
This is the checklist you needed to go down, a formality of the morning after so he doesn’t mind it. Instead he frowns at the way you continue to say his name, the way it rolls off your tongue makes him wince, missing the way you’d call him Kookie, playful pet names like Bunny, something he swore he hated but secretly loved. Jungkook wished he could hear you say it again, humor you with that damned bunny eared headband he’d wear to hear you laugh, squeal as he posed and dance for whatever silly video you recorded as you shouted out the ridiculous nickname. 
The last time he heard those words spill out of your mouth had been too long ago. 
“I’m sorry.” he admits, he knew he had to stop, couldn’t continue to hold onto the past, knowing how wrong you were for each other but he wasn’t the only one. Those were the same words you told him ten days ago, apologizing with guilty eyes for asking him to come over when you were lonely, needing a familiar body to occupy the space next to you, wanting his hands to soothe you, make you feel whole again just for a night. 
Once the sun came up it was back to normal, the two of you having the repeat conversation you had every time, the exact one you were having now. A formality. Nothing more, just mindless words that you would both agree to just to move along, to make you both feel better, more secure with yourself until the next time the phone rang. 
Your heart twists in your chest as you look at him, the same toxic love you had for him brewing in your heart, spilling over and burning you but you ignore the pain, convince yourself you don’t feel it as you breathe in. That same rope latches around Jungkook’s ankle as you avert your eyes for a brief second before looking back at him with a small sigh. “Do you want breakfast? I know how you get when you have a hangover.”
He smiles for the first time, charming as always, looking up at you through the subtle waves in his hair. “I probably shouldn’t.”
You know this. He definitely shouldn’t because breakfast will turn into words exchanged, civil at first, flirty the next, a coin flipped to decide if a petty argument would begin or if you’d reminisce about the good times. Regardless of the outcome, what always followed ended with you moaning out his name as he rocked into you, those same empty promises spilling through his lips that you swallowed with a kiss. 
A brief moment of bliss, a small dose of the past that only serves to hurt you further but you crave it, loving the small rush that came with arguing, the roughness of his hands as he pushed you around before sliding home, burying his face into your neck as he broke you down all over again. 
Normally you’d try to convince him further, but as your mouth opens to protest you get flashes of the night before, how you had carried Jungkook up your flight of stairs, hearing him ramble about nonsense so slurred together you paid it no mind. You would have had him sleep in your bed beside you like you always did but when you fish his phone out and begin to slide his jacket off it buzzes to life. 
Always being nosey you type in his password, smiling when you realize it was still your old anniversary but when you unlock it and see a flood of messages from a girl named Natalie, calling him babe, asking where he was, the smile falls from your face as you start to snoop. 
It doesn’t take much scrolling through their thread of messages to easily discover she was his girlfriend, blissfully unaware that he was shit faced and calling you, confessing to his love for you while she laid at home and wondered if he was having fun with his friends. She reminded you of yourself, of the way you used to be with him and it left a sour feeling on your tongue. 
“Yeah you probably shouldn’t.” 
He stands up now, following you slowly as you approach the door, heavy boots thumping on the hardwood as he reluctantly steps closer to the exit. He doesn’t want to leave, wants you to try to convince him to stay, not knowing that you knew the dirty secret he was hiding buried in his phone. 
You don’t decide to tell him you know, it was pointless. That was just how Jungkook was wired, so much love to give he had to spread it out, give everyone a fair share of it, choosing to pretend he wasn’t being selfish. It was naive to believe it, to think all the love he held was strictly for you, it was why he was able to pull the hood over your eyes so easily. 
Even when you pull the door open and give him a tightlipped smile he knows you’ll still call him, forget all about Natalie when you’re lonely once more. So when you look him in the eyes and sigh, “Goodbye Jungkook.” He knows it’s not for long, maybe a week or so, maybe less. 
He simply smiles, stuffing his hands into his jeans as he shuffles out, turning to face you as he steps backwards. “See you later Y/N.” And his words sting in a way he doesn’t mean, knowing just how right he was. 
Jungkook would never mind how heavy the anchor you hooked on his ankle was because he knew you would forever be a sucker for him. 
As you shut the door behind you it feels like a small weight starts to hang from your shoulders, the same tug starting from your chest, guiding you into your room until you’re pulling out the cursed box and sorting through those damned photos. With stinging eyes you flip through them for a moment, focusing on all the laughs captured on film, blurry vision moving to your phone beside you, hands already itching to call him again. 
It’s as if he knows, still inside your building, lingering in the lobby to give you a moment and it doesn’t take long. Once his phone starts to vibrate he smiles, staring at the photo of you as you call him like clockwork. With a clear of his throat he answers the phone, barely saying hello before he hears a small sniffle through the speaker. 
“I miss you Kookie.” 
Jungkook lets his eyes shut as he presses the elevator button, loving the feeling of being needed by you, already knowing to head back up because this was routine. 
“I know you do baby, I’ll be right up.”
And just like that you’re once again desperately trying to make those stupid puzzle pieces fit together, hoping that maybe this time love would be enough.

hq!! boys and the walkie talkie feature on the apple watch
- characters: tsukishima, bokuto, atsumu, kageyama
- warnings: some cursing, tsukki calls you a weirdo but in a loving way, atsumu says “peepee”
- wc: 293, 238, 257, 239
a/n: i saw a tiktok earlier where a wife and her husband connected with each other on their apple watches to use the walkie talkie feature and it lets you say anything to the other person any time without any warning so she turned it on and said ‘penis’ after he got to work and it made me giggle
Tumblr media
TSUKISHIMA
#! either you were the one to convince him to connect, or he wanted to so that he could watch over you
#! despite being nonchalant and acting uninterested most of the time, he cares a lot
#! if you were the one to convince him, he would act like he didn’t care and pretend like it was stupid
#! but he replies to everything you say. his replies range from a quick and simple, “ok.” to calling you one of his endearing petnames, “weirdo.” and occasionally he would reply normally with answers to your questions
#! if he was the one to suggest the idea, he would use it as another way of his that shows you he cares
#! uses it to remind you to drink water, to eat, to take a break if needed, to shower at a timely manner, to not sleep at 2am (i type as it’s 1:15am)
#! he would never outright ask you how you’re doing though. it feels weird for whatever reason, so he sticks to just giving you daily reminders and he hopes you can see his efforts
#! “yn?” it was currently 1am and you hear him softly calling your name
#! “hmm?” you hummed, letting him know you were still awake
#! “why’re you up?” he immediately asked, but before you could answer he spoke up again, “whatever, i made you a playlist.”
#! it was silent for a bit, he genuinely thought you fell asleep while he was talking
#! “keiii why must you be like this? i hate you, go to sleep.” you finally spoke up, voice a quiet whine
#! you hear him snicker and then it just ended, indicating that he released his finger off of the watch
BOKUTO
#! cutie.
#! wanted you to connect with him so he could give you compliments all the time and remind you that he loves you every few minutes
#! but that quickly just turns into him treating it as if you guys were spies
#! whenever he raises his watch up to his lips, he always whispers (well, as quietly as he can) so he could pretend like you guys were those cool secret agents sneaking into official government buildings
#! “i’m in! where are you?” he loudly whispers, a tiny bubble of spit dropping onto the tiny screen
#! BOKUTO SPITS. this man is loud and his volume control is so bad. he doesn’t mean to spit, he promise, but he can’t stop it 😫😫 he talks too hard 😭
#! “bo,,, i’m at base. you’re at practice, please go before you get yelled at,” you whisper back
#! despite finding the play pretend a bit silly, you still go with it to make him happy. plus it’s lowkey fun
#! “ok babe! i love you! stay safe! i’ll be back in no time! i love you!” he ends with a loud wet smooch into the speaker
#! you laugh at that and tell him your ‘i love you’s before finding something to occupy yourself with
#! bokuto likes to end all of his talks with you with at least two ‘i love you’s just to emphasize his point
ATSUMU
#! begged you to connect with him
#! doing the whole flopping around, body draping over you, whining voice shtick
#! “baaaabbbyyy, please connect with me. ya gon’ make me cry.”
#! “then cry.” he did
#! you eventually agreed though, he was practically leaping off the walls
#! as soon as you guys were connected, atsumu took advantage of it and spoke to you every second of the day
#! and i mean every. second.
#! “hey! what’re ya doin’?” his whispered voice is heard through your watch
#! “‘tsumu what the fuck, you’re laying on my lap.” you looked down at him, who currently has the goofiest smile on his face with half-lidded eyes boring into you
#! he would be the one to say unsuspecting dirty words to surprise you
#! it’s been days since you guys connected your walkie talkies, the memory starting to make its way to the back of your brain
#! until a loud, “peepee!” was screamed from the device on your wrist
#! if atsumu could see you right now, there would be physical “?!” animations popping out of your head
#! “h-hello?” you whispered, pretending to not know who was on the other side of the screen
#! “babe? it’s me. yer ‘tsumu. did ya forget? hello?!”
#! “shaddup.”
#! he purposefully keeps his finger on the button while letting out a loud gasp to let you clearly hear it
#! basically,, turning on walkie talkie with atsumu will make you immediately regret ever getting together with him
KAGEYAMA
#! was absolutely petrified when he suddenly heard your voice coming from his watch
#! he was on his morning run, earbuds in, head in the zone
#! last thing he expected to hear this early in the morning was you through his watch saying, “hey sexy.”
#! your lazy smirk oozing through your words and he could see it in his head
#! “yn. do not scare me like that. why are you up so early anyway?”
#! him on the outside: 😐🤨
#! him on the inside: 😟😖
#! is him being jumpy ish canon? idk but i see him as a somewhat jumpy person, mainly cuz he’s kinda clueless sometimes idk
#! you giggle to yourself hearing him reply stoically before pressing down on the button to say something back, “morning, i’m going back to bed i just wanted to scare you.” he could hear you snicker before the watch went silent
#! rolling his eyes, he quickly glances around him to make sure no one was near before raising the watch up to his lips and whispering, “boo!”
#! “did that scare you?” he snickers, oddly proud of himself
#! “tobio.....go back to running.”
#! “fine. mean.” he pouts
#! you ended up staying awake a bit longer than intended and every few minutes would cheer corny words of encouragement while he was running lmao
#! his cheeks were flushed but he blamed it on the cold

SERIES MASTERLIST | MASTERLIST
“My bedtime is the darkest, that’s when I’m brokenhearted. The nighttime is the hardest. It’d be easy, if I hated you.” —FLETCHER, If I Hated You
FEBRUARY 13th
It was Valentine's Day weekend, which sucked this time around. Every year for the past three years Y/N looked forward to Valentine's Day, but that was when she actually had someone to spend it with.
Well, someone she actually cared about, anyway... Whether or not Spencer actually knew it, she did really care about him. She was just stupid and didn't say it when he needed to hear it the most.
And now Valentine's Day was on Saturday and Y/N was still without him. Not alone, but still without the man who'd spent the significant holiday with her for the past three years. Memories of their dates and 'afterparties' flooded through her mind as she got ready for work like a montage, a cheesy love-song playlist she'd found on Spotify acting as the soundtrack.
Eventually she sighed and turned it off, opting for something more loud and obnoxious, and therefore not tainted by Spencer's memory. She applied what was left of her makeup and added a pair of earrings before turning the music off altogether and shoving her phone in her bag alongside her keys and other necessities.
Even though she wasn't emotionally prepared for all the cheesy Valentine's things she'd see and hear and experience throughout the weekend, it was still kind of nice to see that things in the bank never changed during the holidays— Everything in her life was so severely different at the moment, that if Marjorie had somehow decided to throw out all her elaborate decorations for each holiday, no matter how small, Y/N would have thought the world was truly ending.
Speaking of, she was met with Marjorie's brighter-than-the-sun smile almost immediately once she set her things in the breakroom.
"How's my little macaron this morning?" she chirped, Y/N chuckling slightly at the nickname— She brought macarons from the bakery down the street on her first birthday she spent at the bank, and ever since then, the older woman had adorned her with the namesake.
"She's alright, Marj... Better now that she's seen you..."
"That boy still on your mind, hon?"
Obviously Marjorie's intentions were good, but Y/N couldn't stand to think about the situation at all, least of all at work... So, setting her jacket on the rack, turned away so that her coworker wouldn't see the visible discomfort on her face, Y/N squeezed her eyes shut and cleared her throat. "So, what are your plans with Geno tomorrow night? Anything special?"
There was a brief pause before Marjorie cleared her throat as well. "Nothing short of our usual dinner plans, my dear. He's been so caught up with work at the Mill lately, I think we're just going to spend the night relaxing."
"Hm," Y/N said shortly, finally turning around and giving her the best smile she could. "Maybe I should take a page from your book and stay in..."
"You weren't going to?"
"No... Britt's been nagging me about getting out there so we're going out tomorrow night. We both haven't been single in a long time, so... Should be fun."
Marjorie didn't look convinced. Either way, she nodded with a smile and walked over to Y/N with something glittery and bright red in her hand— A cheap beaded necklace to clip her nametag onto. She draped it over Y/N's neck and patted her shoulders. "Well, I want you to have fun. And remember that you still have to come to work on Monday. Whatever shenanigans you get into should be reserved for Saturday night only so you can rest properly on Sunday, got it?"
Y/N laughed, thankful for the playful tone in Marjorie's voice. "Yes, Ma'am."
"Oh, I joke, I joke," the older woman said with a bright laugh, turning to walk out of the break room. "A little..."
The smile on Y/N's face only really lasted until after Marjorie was out of sight, then she went into her bag and clipped her nametag onto the red beaded necklace with a sigh.
Was she excited to have a good night out with Britt? Of course. Hell, had it been literally any other day of the year, she would have been practically bouncing off the walls with excitement at the idea of going out to a bar, letting men hit on her until she finally let one of them take her back to his place for the night.
But it just felt like it was too soon.
Either way, she was glad that she'd get to see Britt again, after she'd been on vacation for Christmas and New Year's to see her family and only got back a few weeks ago. She'd seen her on Facetime of course, and they met up once for coffee right after Britt got back from her trip, but a well-needed night out and quality time getting ready together was something that had been missing from their friendship for almost a year.
Y/N knew Britt would most likely spend her time trying to hook them up with end-of-the-night dates, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
Even still, sleeping alone the night before was probably one of the worst spells of loneliness she'd ever had. It was normal to be sad spending the first Valentine's Day in years away from a significant other, but knowing how things ended between them—bitter and stained with words left unsaid—this time was just... cold.
And that was putting it lightly.
Y/N laid in bed that night, her eyes wide open and staring at the plastic glow-in-the-dark stars that adorned the ceiling. They used to give her comfort, but now they just reminded her of all the nights she'd spend with Spencer, listening to him tell stories about the constellations. They were some of the most peaceful memories she had.
And now those, too—those stars that had grounded her pretty much all her life and reminded her of the better days—were tainted by her inability to properly communicate.
She almost thought about taking them down.
But if she was really going to get over him this time, for good, then she'd have to learn to make new memories with the stars. Even if it was painful. Even if replacing those memories and writing new ones over them absolutely tore her soul to pieces.
And, as if that pain wasn't enough, that night Y/N dreamt of him, making love to her amongst the stars in every galaxy, only to wake up the next morning cold and alone.
FEBRUARY 14th
She promptly decided that she hated his guts.
It was Valentine's Day, Y/N was respectfully buzzed, and courtesy of two beers and four shots of tequila, she'd just deleted Spencer's number from her phone.
"I'm done," she said, waving a hand at Britt and shoving her phone in her purse. "He doesn't deserve my wallowing."
"Yeah!"
Britt was significantly the more drunk of the two, resulting in a fit of giggles after gaining some stares from the people around them at her sudden outburst.
Y/N smiled, finishing off another shot and shaking her head. "We need more!"
"More shots!" Britt hurried off to grab them, leaving her friend behind with a half-drunken smile that also only felt half-genuine.
Sure, she decided she hated Spencer's guts, but her heart didn't exactly agree well with that sentiment. Even after deleting his number from her phone, after downing all that alcohol, her heart still ached.
Y/N knew deep down that getting over him was going to take some time. A lot of time... But maybe one night of distraction would help.
So the shots kept coming, and by the end of the night, Y/N was just about at her limit.
Which was near black-out drunk. And when you're that drunk you tend to make decisions you wouldn't soberly condone.
Britt got into a cab, and she begged Y/N to come with her, but she assured her friend that she had someone to come pick her up. Eventually the cab driver got tired of their inability to decide, and when Y/N told him to go, he did, leaving her alone on the side of the street at 1am.
Unfortunately, it was incredibly cold, and she didn't really have anyone to come pick her up. And that's where the bad decisions started.
Y/N pulled her phone out, a long sigh escaping her as she dialed the number by heart.
Would he even pick up? He hadn't answered any of her calls or texts before, so why would it have been any different now? Not to mention it was Valentine's Day Weekend. With her luck, he was probably in bed with someone else. Someone who wasn't her. As she listened to the dial tone repeating in her ear, images of him wrapped up with somebody else—sleeping in the bed she'd slept in many times before—clouded her drunken brain and made her more angry than anything.
Her gut twisted, and she almost hung up.
But then the low buzz of the dial tone abruptly stopped and in its place came his voice.
"Y/N?"
Her name on his lips, even through the phone, was grounding, the anger in her system melting away and revealing a coat of drunken relief.
"Spencer! You answered!"
"Yeah... Are you— Is everything okay?"
"Pff, yeah, 'm-fine. Just really fucking cold."
"You're not outside, are you?"
"Duh, I'm outside... I wouldn't be cold in-side... Besides, I didn't call t'alk bout the weather, I need you t'come pick me up."
There was a brief pause, and for a moment Y/N didn't think he was going to say anything she wanted to hear. She swayed on the sidewalk, shivering and praying that he would throw her a bone, even if she'd regret it all in the morning.
"Where are you?" he said finally, and despite herself, she smiled.
FEBRUARY 15th
Spencer couldn't believe he was picking her up at near two in the morning.
Honestly, he'd initially thought about ignoring her call again, but remembering the day it was and taking note of the time, he figured she was most likely in some type of inebriated trouble.
His instincts were right, of course, but he wished that he could have been wrong. He wished she'd only been calling to drunkenly ramble on about how she missed him or maybe how he was stupid and she never wanted to see his face ever again, because that was normal. At least then he could have hung up after she was done and never thought about it again— it was a normal step in any relationship that helped move things along. They could have gotten on with their lives and it would have all been over.
But of course it was never that simple.
Y/N was never that simple.
He pictured her on the street near some bar, alone and cold and drunk, and of course he would have been the only one she could call to rescue her. After all, he'd been pretty much the only thing she'd ever known to make her feel safe.
Still, he wished he was capable of only giving her a ride home and then leaving.
But again, it was never that simple.
It was easy getting her into the car— that wasn't what he was worried about. Rather, it was the fated moment where she'd ask him to stay after he finally got her tucked safely into bed that worried him. Because it was bad enough that it was Y/N... It was her in all her alluring glory, and he'd never been able to deny her anything no matter how badly he tried or wanted to.
Now add on the fact that she was drunk, and most likely sad on their first Valentine's Day apart, and it was a recipe for disaster.
Even if she'd broken his heart, Spencer still cared about her.
Which is why he inevitably agreed to stay, at least until she fell asleep.
He knew her well enough to know all the ways she'd try to get him under the covers with her, so it was a familiar amusement that settled in his being when he was finally able to get on top of the covers with her underneath. But as he entertained her silly little questions with the right answers until she fell asleep, Spencer noticed something else accompanying that amusement.
Guilt.
And then anger for feeling guilty about her sadness— sadness that could have been avoided had she just gotten over whatever was holding her back and either returned his "I love you" or  told him she wasn't feeling the same way just yet.
All she had to do was talk.
He had a right to feel upset about Y/N holding back when he'd been nothing but patient, spending almost every year of their relationship trying to make her see that she had nothing to be afraid of. He'd given her every chance to talk about what she was feeling, whether it was happy or not, and every time she pushed it all away in favor of sex.
That wasn't what he wanted in a relationship, so he ended it. And there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.
So why was he feeling so fucking guilty?
He blamed his good nature and innate need to please people, to make them feel good and happy. But he also blamed Y/N and her adorable drunken sleeping face.
He watched as she slept, willing himself not to forget the way she hurt him. She'd completely stolen his heart and shattered it at the same time, and if he was being honest, she still held some of the pieces. But he couldn't get them back, not if he didn't want to risk shattering her own heart in the process.
It felt like they were tied together by some strong, invisible force that wouldn't break unless both of them broke right along with it.
So... maybe he could afford to leave those pieces of his heart with her. He'd have to if they were going to get out of this alive. Not unscathed, sure, but alive nonetheless.
Once he was sure she was deep in sleep, Spencer quietly and carefully got off the bed and navigated through her apartment, getting her a glass of water and leaving it on the table next to her bed. And because he couldn't help it, he cleaned up some of the clothes that were scattered around her floor, depositing them into the hamper and straightening out a few more things that were out of place.
He looked over at her sleeping figure one more time, sighed, and then left, keeping her bedroom door open just a crack.
***
Spencer knew he shouldn't have stayed longer.
Despite his better judgement, he'd plopped himself down on her couch after making sure she was sound asleep, hoping to catch his breath and sort through what he was feeling before he got behind the wheel. But of course, it was 2am and he was exhausted, and he couldn't stop himself from closing his eyes and drifting off.
And now he was sitting up, looking around the apartment through the lens of morning.
Though the curtains were sheer, they didn't provide much light, but enough of it showed him just how familiar the space was. Y/N hadn't moved anything around. The same art was on the same walls, the potted ivy plant on her mantle sat un-watered and withering, and every book and record and DVD on her shelves was in the exact same spot as they'd all been the last time he was there in December.
Meanwhile, after the breakup he'd re-arranged everything. He was so sure that they were through for good this time around that he wanted a clean slate. Not that he wanted to rid himself of her memory completely, but if he was going to move on from the hold she'd had on him, he had to do something...
And yet, he ended up at her apartment the morning after Valentine's Day all the same.
He heard the shower running faintly a couple rooms away. You didn't have to pass the couch to get there, so maybe she hadn't seen him sleeping and he could get away cleanly.
Spencer scrambled off the couch, thankful that he hadn't removed his jacket or his shoes and that he could just sprint towards the door without having to find any of his belongings.
But as luck would have it, the second he took a step, the shower turned off. He had to get out of there quickly, but if he did then she'd definitely know he'd stayed overnight. But if he went quietly, he wouldn't have enough time before she caught him.
Maybe I could hide...
He shook the thought with a roll of his eyes, settling on the clearest course of action, which was to make as quick of a getaway as he could. He'd try to be quiet as well, though the creaky door was going to be nearly impossible to get through without a sound.
His hand was on the doorknob when he heard her voice.
"You didn't think you could spend the night and then leave without saying goodbye, did 'ja?"
The pure amusement in her tone made his stomach churn, and it wasn't unpleasant in the slightest.
Spencer turned and smiled softly, avoiding looking at her completely. "Sorry. Didn't want to bother you."
"You're never a bother."
That sentiment held less amusement and more sincerity, which was what guided his eyes to meet the woman who said the words.
His stomach twisted again when he saw her, exactly like he knew she'd be— wrapped in nothing but a thin towel with near-dripping hair cascading down her back. Her legs were bare and exposed, the towel not only thin but short, which meant that her chest was also practically spilling out of it. Despite the obvious and inevitable hungover look in her eye, there was also a good splash of that mischief that'd always been there— the kind that spelled out trouble.
He needed to get out of there.
"Well, um... I'm glad I got you home safe," he said, clearing his throat. "I should... I should go."
"You sure you don't wanna stay for breakfast?"
Spencer could have sworn she was teasing him, dangling her body in front of him like a meal they both knew he wouldn't be able to resist. But then she added, "I've got everything I need for your favorite omelet," and he exhaled with a small smile, exhausted with his own mind for convincing him that she was out to pull him back in.
Still, he declined. "No, I... I shouldn't. But, uh, thank you..."
"You sure?"
This time when he looked up at her, she was closer. She was gently striding forward to meet him, and he half thought about backing up towards the door until he realized he was already there.
"I—I'm sure. Really."
"But you drove around all night just to take me home when I was drunk, the least I can do is feed you..."
"Eh, it's alright. It's... Nothing I haven't done before."
She stopped then, her eyes briefly dropping to the floor. It was like her whole demeanor changed—just for a second—from the prowess she'd always been, to what seemed to be a woman filled with sadness and regret. It didn't last long though, just enough for Spencer to notice it before she looked back up at him with that wicked gleam in her eye and a remark right at the tip of her tongue.
"Still. I feel bad, making you do all that for me... Especially now."
He wasn't sure what to make of this... It seemed like she was sincere, but she was also alluring, calling to him like a siren leading him to his ultimate demise. And while he'd come to know that as merely a part of her nature, he couldn't help but shake the feeling that she was doing it on purpose.
She was in a skimpy towel, after all, and she definitely knew how to use that to her advantage.
It didn't help that he didn't have the courage to leave. Everything inside of him right then longed to drop that towel and indulge himself once more. Putting aside all the heartache and the differences they shared, all he felt in that moment was the need to touch her— to get lost in her and never be found again.
She was his fatal flaw, and it was painfully obvious.
Spencer knew he shouldn't have stayed longer...
He was over to her in just three strides, throwing off his jacket and tossing it aside before cradling her face with his hands and bringing their lips together for the first time since Christmas Eve.
The small whine in her throat signaled that she hadn't expected it, but welcomed it all the same. The moment she lifted her arms to wrap around his neck, the towel fell to the floor, and there was no going back.
"What about breakfast?" Y/N breathed out once they pulled away for air.
Spencer contemplated, studying her face, seeing the way her eyes sparkled, and decided on the two words that sealed his fate.
"Screw breakfast."
Their lips were melded together almost as soon as the words left his mouth. And it wasn't long before every other part of their bodies were melded together as well.
Y/N helped him take the rest of his clothes off as they danced around the entryway and the living room. Everything was open, no walls separating the living room from the kitchen, so to compensate for the lack of breakfast they'd be eating, they migrated to the kitchen counter once Spencer had off everything but his boxers.
He trapped her against the cool marble of the countertop, her back hitting it solid and sending a shiver up her spine. Meanwhile his hands roamed her body, unsure of where to be other than on her at all times, whether it be her waist, her stomach, her arms, her breasts, or her ass. He wanted to feel all of her, and quite frankly she wanted the same.
She even told him so, in her own way, by bringing one of her legs up and wrapping it around his waist, pulling him closer to her as she wove her fingers through his hair and tasted his tongue with her own.
The action elicited a groan from his mouth, low and desperate. Spencer settled his hands on her waist and gripped it tight, silently telling her what to do.
So she jumped up and he helped guide her swiftly onto the counter. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist again, and he found himself grinding into her hips, urgent to feel every part of her. And thankfully she was feeling rather desperate herself, because she rolled her hips up into him in return, breaking their mouths apart just briefly to speak.
"Fuck me..."
There was so much he wanted to say to her in that moment— how badly he was feeling about keeping her entertained while he was slowly deteriorating inside from her emotional detachment and rejection, how much she frustrated him, and more prominently, how she was so goddamn impatient and that he was getting there...
But all that he could manage was a broken, desperate whisper of her name.
It was all he'd ever known.
All that frustration... All that anger, heartache, passion, and time apart combined beautifully into those few syllables that made up her name and tore him apart from the inside out.
And his hands were just as destructive.
Spencer deftly dropped his boxers to the ground and pushed forward, almost losing all sense of self the moment the head of his dick finally made contact with her cunt. He made his way inside of her and then used both of his hands to grip her waist and bring her closer, their mouths connecting harshly as they found one another once again.
His grip was bruising— not possessive in any way, but desperate, like he had to cling to her for dear life or he wouldn't live to see another day. He held himself inside her, sighing and whimpering into her mouth as she clenched around him. It was so familiar, so comfortable and exhilarating that he almost didn't even want to move. He thought about staying there, still inside her forever.
But as always, Y/N was insatiable.
She wrapped all her limbs around him and held on, rolling her hips and seeking friction in any way possible when she briefly tore her lips away from his.
"I need you, baby, please..."
Even as his heart started to rumble in his chest, well aware of the fact that she still probably didn't love him the way he loved her, Spencer gave her everything. He pulled out and snapped his hips forward again, setting a strong, steady pace that had Y/N's eyes rolling back, and the payoff of hearing her sigh out his name was more than enough to keep him going.
Her nails dug deliciously into his shoulders, the faint sting adding something reminiscent of gasoline to a fire. The flames grew taller and brighter the more he fucked her, and with each gradual increase of volume and intensity, it was a wonder the whole kitchen around them hadn't literally burst into flames.
That's how they always were.
Together like this, so lost in the high of each others' bodies, it was easy to forget the things that made their relationship so hard. It was easy to let all the negativity slip away into the throes of pent-up, well-needed sex. The high they gave each other was merely that— A high...
A distraction.
And while that's exactly what Y/N needed, what she preferred in most cases, it's what Spencer recognized as completely unhealthy, despite his coming back to it every time.
It's also why he dreaded the moment ending. Because once they came down from the high, all that's left would be sadness, regret... Guilt... Their fire burned hot, brightly and wildly, but in the aftermath would lay only a thick layer of deadly smoke between them— hard to navigate, and nearly impossible to breathe in without suffocating.
So they simply burned and burned and burned...
Spencer gripped her so tight he was sure to leave her with bruising. And in turn Y/N dragged her nails down his back and dug them into his ass, her palm laying firmly over the muscles that aided in fucking her into the marbled surface. She whined out curses and moans, and he cried out broken whispers of her name, pet names, and curses alike.
Even once she'd come, he kept going, willing himself to hold on as long as he could. She whined into his ear at the overstimulation. And rather than keeping her legs wrapped around his body, she decided to spread them wide, perching her heels up on the counter as far as she could go and anchoring her fingers through his hair.
And though she might not have had enough orgasms in her to keep up with him, she welcomed it all the same—She welcomed the burn just as much as he did.
Even still, no fire can burn forever.
All concept of time was lost by the time Spencer finally collapsed forward, completely spent and barely standing on weak legs after coming twice. Y/N held onto him tightly to keep him upwards, lightly massaging his scalp with gentle fingers and closing her eyes as she focused on his breathing— the way it fanned over the skin of her bare shoulder and how it sounded, perfectly in time with hers...
It was the most peaceful she'd been in a long time.
She felt him pull out of her, the both of them groaning at the feeling, and a little at the mess it would make.
Spencer gently peeled his body off of hers, sniffing once and avoiding her eyes. "Sorry... You just got out of the shower..."
"It's fine," Y/N breathed. She begged him silently to look her in the eye, but he remained still... Most likely thinking. She could practically see the cogs turning in his brain.
So, in an effort to lighten the mood a bit, she added with a breathy laugh, "Besides... It's nothing I haven't done before."
The callback to his words—and memories of all the times they'd found themselves in this position before—got Spencer to laugh a little, but he still wouldn't meet her eyes.
Finally, he cleared his throat. "I'll... I'll grab the wipes?"
"Oh. Sure," Y/N returned with a thankful smile. It was hopeful, too, though the moment he was out of eyesight, it turned rather sad.
She'd known that behavior before, seen that hesitation in his movements and that sound in his voice.
It was guilt.
Regret.
Probably a bit of self-hatred, too.
When he returned, a pile of her clothes in hand and the bag of wipes on top, she took them from him with a kind smile and cleaned herself up while he put his clothes back on.
The silence was more uncomfortable than anything either of them had ever experienced.
So much so, that Y/N couldn't even muster up the courage to ask him to stay for breakfast— and she always did after one of their post-break hookups.
Maybe this time really was different.
Spencer was just at the door again when she stopped him.
"Thank you," she said. Her voice was so small, he almost didn't hear it. "For bringing me home..."
But he paused, turned, and finally looked her in the eye.
He almost sunk to his knees right there...
Seeing her, arms crossed like she was trying to keep warm, as her head hung low and she looked up at him through sad, hooded eyelids...
It reminded him of the woman he fell in love with.
But in his peripheral, he saw the towel on the floor and was reminded of the woman who'd shattered his heart.
Spencer cleared his throat. Once upon a time he might have returned her thanks with, Anytime, but... Honestly he wasn't sure there could ever be another time. For his sanity, he'd have to avoid 'anytime' at all costs.
So, he settled on, "You're welcome."
He was glad to see her return his kind smile with one of her own, even if it was tainted with sadness, and a small wave goodbye.
Maybe this time it would stick.
Even still, as he closed the door behind him and made his way to the parking lot, for some reason it didn't quite feel like goodbye.
And some of that deadly smoke that settled in his lungs as he drove further and further away from her apartment was inclined to agree.
***
Neither of them could sleep that night.
While Spencer stared out the window of the jet, a little annoyed to be called out on a case so late but at least thankful for the distraction, Y/N laid in bed, staring at the stars on her ceiling.
The same constellation caught their eye.
Columba.
The Dove.
She hadn't even meant to arrange the stars like that, but one night after a date, they were laying in her bed and Spencer pointed out that the cluster of plastic stars right in the corner of the ceiling looked like Columba.
Y/N fondly remembered Spencer telling her about how it was originally named to represent Noah's dove, which searched for dry land during the great biblical flood and returned carrying an olive branch to make news of its recession— of peace at last.
The memory made her smile. It tugged at her heart and made her dreams of him even more vivid.
All the same, Spencer noticed the constellation outside the jet window and remembered that same night. The smile on her face as he told her the story, the feel of her fingers gliding softly over the bare skin of his forearm...
It was the first night since he'd met her that he thought it.
I love her...
He almost told her then, too, but he was afraid it was too soon. So he refrained.
Looking back, Spencer was starting to regret that— Maybe without that extra time together, breaking up would have been easier. But instead, he gave her more time. He gave himself more time to fall deeper in love with her, and in the end it still wasn't enough.
Now they were both looking at the same constellation, one made of plastic and the other of gas, wondering if their flood would ever recede.
And in the event that it did... Who would be the dove, and what would be their olive branch?
“You know I dream about getting back together in the future, I could focus on you. But if I leave right now, I hope that you don’t find someone that touches you the way that I do...”

Bros and undateables react to MC who bakes in the middle of the night when stressed
I read this and my brain was like "so Beel's dream MC?". Of course, doing it out of stress isn't good, but Beel would definitely enjoy midnight sweets~
Anyway, will do, Nonnie! Please enjoy 😊
Also, like always, I'm splitting this into two parts: one for Brothers and the other Undateables for space reasons.
~
Lucifer:
Was heading to the kitchen to get himself more coffee to continue his paperwork.
When he saw the kitchen light on, he expected to catch Beel raiding the fridge.
Instead, he found MC at the oven, pulling out another set of cookies to add to the already monstrous pile of them on the counter.
"MC, what are you doing?"
The human jumped at his voice then gave an awkward laugh.
"Baking..."
"Yes, I have eyes, Love." He tells them. "What I mean is, why are you baking at 1am?"
"...I dunno."
The man sighed before approaching the human and turning off the oven.
"Regardless, I believe you've made enough cookies for one night. It's time for bed."
The human didn't move however.
"Darling?"
"I can't sleep..."
MC proceeds to explain how they get bad anxiety at night and how usually they can power through it, but with some school stressors on top of it, it became overwhelming and they just needed to do something to distract themselves.
The demon frowned.
"Love, you should have just came to me if you were having issues."
"But you're busy with your work--"
"That doesn't matter if you need me though."
The firstborn smoothed down their human's hair, which was messy.
"Now follow me to my room. I'll make sure you get some rest."
"But what about the cookies?"
"I'm sure Beel will wander in and take care of them for you."
Mammon:
Just got back from a party and was heading to the kitchen to grab a snack before heading up to his room
Only to find MC awake and... icing a cake?
"Oi! Human! What's with the cake?"
"I baked it."
"Well duh. But why?"
The human finished icing it, making the cake a colorful one with all of the brothers' colors.
"Because I wanted to." The human shrugged, not meeting his eyes. "Do you want a piece?"
"Uh.. sure." The demon mumbled.
He hopped onto the counter next to them as he watched them grab a plate and cut a piece for him.
MC handed the plate and a fork to him.
"It's red velvet." They said proudly.
"Yeah, yeah..." The man mumbled, taking a bite.
His eyebrows raised.
"Man, this is good!" His face went red at his words so he dialed back. "I mean, its okay... ya know."
MC gave a small smile, but it quickly fell into a heavier look.
"Hey, what's with that face??"
MC quietly hopped on the free counter next to him.
They didn't answered, just lightly kicked their feet as they stared at the floor.
"Oh c'mon, Babe, talk to me 'ere!"
MC sighed.
"I'm sorry. My anxiety is just bad tonight... I wanted to keep busy."
...oh.
The Avatar of Greed sat the plate down and put his arm around his Human.
"I don't get why you went to straight to baking..." The demon thought aloud. "But it doesn't matter. I'm home now, got that? You don't have to be anxious on your own..."
MC gave a soft smile.
"Thanks, Babe."
"Nothin' to thank me for. Now just let The Great Mammon take care of you!"
Leviathan:
This boy's sleep schedule is kinda fucked up
So it's not unusual for him to be up at 3am.
The Avatar of Envy ran out of pop in his room so he ventured out to the kitchen to get some more.
Which is how he found MC in the kitchen with like... seven cheesecakes???
"...What am I looking at?"
"Cheesecake."
"Well duh, normie." The demon rolled his eyes. "But why did you make cheesecake at like, 3am?"
Silence. Levi was suddenly worried that they hurt his Human's feelings and the look is their eyes definitely wasn't filled with the positivity that he's used to.
"Look..." He came up and hugged them close. "I just don't get it. Please don't be upset."
MC laid their head against their boyfriend's chest.
"It's fine." They mumbled. "I'm sorry... I just couldn't sleep so... I just came in to bake and this was the outcome."
"You should have just came to my room." He pulled back to look at them. "You could have been watching me play Rune Factory or something."
MC turned away from the demon, wrapping their arms around themselves.
"I'm not too clingy... right?"
"I... what?"
MC sighed.
"I didn't go to you because I was worried that you just wanted time to yourself and I'm always with you during the day..."
Levi just shook his head at every word they just said.
"Look... I always want my Henry with me." He blushed. "And yeah, I like my time away from other people, but that doesn't include you; just other normies."
"Are... are you sure?"
"I mean, yeah." He mumbled. "So... just don't worry about it, okay?"
Satan:
This man usually has a better sleep schedule but tonight he had stayed up reading just a bit too long.
He started heading to the kitchen to get some water and found MC with counter surfaces covered with cupcuakes while they looked really stressed and teary-eyed down at the one they were drawing on with icing.
"Kitten?"
MC jumped and quickly raised their hand to wipe their eyes.
Satan strode over and stopped them, looking down into their eyes.
"Kitten, what's wrong?" He wiped away a fallen tear.
They avoided their boyfriend's gaze.
"It's not working..." They mumbled.
"What are you talking about?"
"The cats aren't turning out right..." Their gaze falls to the dozen cupcakes with cat faces drawn on them in icing, but didn't meet the human's standards apparently.
The blonde raised an eyebrow. Surely they weren't in the kitchen crying over cupcakes because their designs weren't coming out well?
He sighed.
"Give me your hand." He took the human's hand with the bag of icing and brought it over a cupcake. He guided them with the design and helped them make a cleaner-looking cat.
"Thank you." MC sniffled.
Satan pressed a kiss to their forehead.
"Now what's the real issue, Little One?"
MC didn't say a word, just lightly sat the icing bag down and stared at the cupcakes.
Their boyfriend waited patiently and just rubbed circles on their hand with his thumb.
"I... I'm not gonna be sent away if I fail a class, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
MC shifted their gaze to the ground.
The blonde sighed once more and wrapped his arms around their waist.
"Talk to me, Kitten."
They sniffled.
"I'm failing my Hexes class." They mumbled. "This semester got so much harder and my grade took a nose dive... and the requirements to stay in the program say I gotta keep my grades in a certain range..."
"MC... you should have told me sooner." He tightened his embrace around them and set his chin on their shoulder.
"B-But you can't always help me--"
"Yes I can, Kitten. I'm always ready to help you when you need me."
"Satan..."
He kissed their cheek.
"And trust me when I say I would never let anyone take you away from me." He told them. "I'd fight the whole Devildom to keep you by my side."
He placed one last kiss on their temple.
"I'll help you study tomorrow. For now, let's clean up and get some rest."
Asmodeus:
Another one who just came home from a party and was heading towards his room when he heard a frustrated sigh come from the kitchen.
The demon poked his head inside and found MC staring down at... something. Whatever it was supposed to be, it just looked like charcoal now.
"Doll? What are you doing up?"
MC sighed.
"Baking." They eyed the black brick on the counter. "Or well... tried to anyway."
Asmo stepped inside and immediately went over to kiss his human.
They smiled a bit.
"Welcome home."
He smiled back and gave his Doll a big hug.
MC relaxed into the hug.
"My anxiety is just bad tonight for basically no reason." They explained, burying their face in the crook of his neck. "I was waiting for you to come home."
"Aww, Dolly." He pulled back and kissed their check. "You should have texted me! I would of been home sooner!"
"No, no, it fine." They pulled away. "Did you have fun?"
"Yep! Of course, I would have had even more fun if you came me, but I still made do~."
He gave them another kiss, this time on their nose.
"Now why don't we lay down now, hmm?"
MC smiled.
"Okay, thank you, Azzy."
Beelzebub:
Midnight kitchen raid. A usual nightly occurrence.
This time however, the Avatar of Gluttony's nose was greeted by a sweet smell as he approached the kitchen.
"Oh Beely!" The human displayed their plate full of fudge squares to him. "Please try them and tell me what you think."
Was he dreaming? The man felt like he was dreaming. Still, he didn't hesitate to accept the human's offer.
He made quick work of the fudge and smiled happily at his Muffin.
"Good?"
"Amazing." He stepped forward and hugged his human.
After a moment though, his smile fell.
"Wait...what are you doing up?"
Silence.
"Muffin?"
MC broke away and sat the now empty plate in the sink.
"I dunno. I just couldn't sleep." They explained. "I guess I just..."
The demon stared down at them, waiting patiently.
"Ugh..." MC let their face fall into his chest.
He stroked their hair quietly, brows furrowing in concern.
"I got a test on Friday and no matter how much I study for it, I can't stop stressing about it." They sighed.
"What class?"
"History..." They mumbled. "Why do we have to cover a whole century of events in one test?"
Beel patted their head and hugged their human close.
"Can I sleep with you tonight, Beely? I don't think I wanna go back to my room."
He kissed the top of their head.
"Of course, Muffin."
Belphegor:
Believe or not, its common for Sleepy Boy to be up late at night.
He sleeps so much during the day that he's usually awake starting from after his dinner nap to about 4 or 5 am.
Hence him being awake at 2am and heading towards MC's room, only to notice that their room was empty, but there was noise coming from the kitchen.
He found his Human sitting on the floor in front of the oven, staring into it.
"What are you doing?"
"Waiting for the brownies to bake." They said dully, not looking away from the oven.
"Are you baked?"
MC lightly hit his arm, but broke out into a small smile.
He smirked.
"Come on, I mean, who bakes brownies at 2am and just stares at them?"
Their smile fell, as did their gaze; they stared down at their bare feet.
Belphie frowned.
"Okay, what's the problem, Butthead?"
No response. He gave a small flick to their head.
"Ow..." The human rubbed their forehead, looking to the Avatar of Sloth as he stared expectantly at them.
They sighed.
"I've been getting nightmares lately... at least I think I have been."
The demon raised an eyebrow.
"You think you've had nightmares?"
"I... can't actually remember them." They mumbled. "All I know is that I'll have them and wake up crying with my heart pounding... but I can never remember why. Like, what the dream was about..."
"How long has this been going on?"
"About... two weeks I think?"
He flicked them on the forehead again.
"Ow!" They rubbed their forehead once more.
"Dummy. You are literally dating the demon whose an expert on sleep and stuff."
Silence. He sighed.
"Come here." He pulled them in for a hug. "Come to my room. I'll keep the nightmares away, got it?"

no taking back
summary: it was only fun and games. but steve had other plans.
warnings: modern au, tooth-rotting fluff i guess, little but of swearing
+ olivia rodrigo’s sour album (stream besties), the movie tangled at the end because it just radiates as a comfort movie
yes a modern au !!! i just saw this on tiktok (the sour part, but the rest was my idea!) and thought it was so cute so it gave me an idea to make it as a fic, enjoy !!!
steve harrington x fem!reader
olivia rodrigo’s new album just released and you were thrilled to listen to it and stream it the whole day.
when you finally got to listen to it, you asked your friends—robin, nancy, and the party, if they listened to it and which ones were their favorites.
robin told you that her top three were hope ur ok, jealousy, jealousy, and brutal.
nancy said she really loved favorite crime.
max said hers was also brutal.
el told you that she played good 4 u and traitor on repeat that hopper had to go into her room to turn it down.
when mike comes over to the cabin he can assure that el does indeed play them on repeat and get pissy about it (but he secretly loves the album, but he wouldn’t let her or anyone know that).
and lastly lucas and dustin are fans of deja vu and 1 step forward 3 steps back. max even told you that they would sing the bridge of deja vu on the top of their lungs.
you slightly laughed at the memory of them telling you about it.
however, there’s one more person that you haven’t talked to about it yet.
steve.
your smile faltered and faded when he came across in your mind.
your feelings for him had deepened over the time and listening to the sour album made it feel like you two had broken up, which in fact, is not true because you were never together in the first place.
suddenly, an idea popped in your head. instead of being sad about steve, you thought about texting him, although it’s almost 1AM, you knew he’d still be up.
Sailor Man
You: hey
You: u up?
Sailor Man: duh
Sailor Man: this has been our nightly routine u always bother me when i’m about to go to sleep

Sailor Man: go to sleep we’re dating now that’s how this works
Sailor Man: okay i dont know if you’re still reading this now and i am terrified to say this to you in person like TERRIFIED. might piss my pants if i did. so (y/n/n), my favorite dumbass, my favorite person to talk to at night even if it interrupts my binge watching marathon, you make me so happy to the point that even when i sleep you’re still in my dreams. i like you. i have like the biggest fattest crush on you. and thank you for doing that sour album thing or whatever, because of that i get to finally ask you out
you rolled on your back after you read the message, facing the ceiling as your mind processed what just happened. was he playing with you? was he actually serious about asking you out?
Incoming video call...
Sailor Man
you took a deep breath before tapping the green button and placing it back down on the bed.
“hey,” you can tell that he was tired based on his voice. “can you show your face, please? i miss you.”
ignoring the butterflies in your stomach, you hesitantly lifted the phone and shifted your position to lay on your side. “hey.”
“hey yourself.” steve grins. that stupid grin that makes your stomach turn, that grin you always want to see everyday.
“what’s..up?” you avoided looking at him and started to admire your surroundings and the posters placed on your wall. this was the only time you were glad you weren’t with him in person.
“i just wanted to see if you’re okay.” of course he will ask that. he's steve. he cares about other more than himself.
“i am, thanks.” you showed a smile that doesn't reach your ears and steve knew something was bothering you. “hey, look. i'm sorry about my confession- if it made you uncomfortable i'm sorry-”
“no,” you cut him off, looking back at his face on the screen. “i’m fine, really. you don't have to apologize. i was just, surprised.”
there was silence between the two of you for a few seconds, before you spoke again. “did you mean it?” you voice was only above whisper but steve managed to hear them. “of course,” he answered almost too quick, without any hesitation. “i've been trying to find the perfect opportunity and had been asking god for signs because i can't make a move myself-”
“asking god?” you chuckled and steve smiled hearing them, glad that he somehow lightened the mood. “well, more like begging.” he continues and you giggled.
once your laughter died you both fell into silence again. you still couldn’t believe that out of a fun joke, it would turn into a whole another situation. “so, um.. just so you know, i’m not mad, or upset, or anything. i really was just surprised. it felt like a dream because i didn’t know that you like me back and all i did was just supposed to be a fun joke but—”
“hold on, back?”
“what?”
“like you back. you said i like you back.” steve sat up on his bed and fixed his hair as his eyes widened. “i did...” you said slowly, not catching up.
“does that mean you..”
then it hit you. “oh, right. yeah. i- i like you..too.” you waited for his reaction and once you saw him smile you couldn’t stop yourself from doing the same.
“i knew it. and well, i guess that confirms it. we’re dating now. no taking back.” he smirks then laughs when your rolled your eyes. “don’t flatter yourself, harrington. i did not say shit.” you pointed your index finger on the screen, barely containing your giggles.
“based on your beautiful smile i think you don’t need to say it. i like you, and you like me. we’re dating.” steve gives you a teasing smile. you tried keeping your serious face but it won’t last longer so you finally smiled again. “alright, fine. no taking backs. we’re dating.” you said then laughed as he whisper-yelled ‘yes!’ while fist pumping the air.
he soon joined your laughter and you stayed like that until your jaw was pretty much in pain because of your smiles. when it was all quiet again, you both just admired each other’s presence through the screens of your phones. “i wish i was there with you.” he mumbles. “yeah, me too.” you hugged your cold pillow beside you, closing your eyes for a moment and imagining it as steve.
“are your parents home?”
you snorted at his random question. “i’m actually alone right now, they’re out because dad got promoted at his work so he and mom and i think a few friends went out to celebrate. they should be home by an hour or two. why?”
“nothing.” was all he said before hanging up. you were left confused but then he’s your best friend after all, so you knew right then and there that he’ll do something stupid. after you turned your phone off you suddenly felt watching a movie so you went to the kitchen to make some popcorn.
when it was finished and had been put in a bowl, that’s when you heard your doorbell rang—in a pattern which you recognize, and only one person does that.
you let out a quiet laugh when you realized who it was and set the bowl on the counter before opening the door.
“hi!” steve greeted you with a smile. “uh, hi?” you laughed nervously and stepped aside for him to go in. “i smell popcorn, are we having a movie night?” he says as he steps inside and shrugged off his jacket. “actually yeah, i’m planning on watching—”
“tangled.” he finishes off, you subconsciously smiled upon hearing your favorite movie. “how’d you know?”
steve snatches a few popcorns from the bowl as you both arrived in the kitchen. “(y/n), you have watched that movie 7 times this week and always gush to me about it.”
“well, you’re the only one that is around my age that i can talk to with that movie. robin and nancy aren’t that into it.” you replied, grabbing the bowl and making your way back to your bedroom, steve following your heels. “and you think i’m the best option to talk to about that?” he asks, plopping down on your bed and resting his back on the headboard.
“you’re not complaining.” you shrugged as you grabbed your laptop and sat beside steve.
“yeah, probably because i like you.” it came out of his mouth casually. you froze in place and felt your cheeks heat up, finally nodding your head slowly, “..probably.” as you typed in the movie in your laptop you felt steve scoot closer, making your breath hitch.
you were both in a comfortable silence while watching the movie, except for a few jokes and comments that steve makes and him explaining how similar he was to flynn rider.
“you know, since i’m eugene, you could be rapunzel.” he suddenly says. you eyes were still on the screen but your eyebrows furrowed. “why? i’m nothing like her.”
finally looking at steve, you almost screamed how he was already looking at you. “oh, you are so rapunzel. you may not have the longest hair in the world, but you are pretty much similar.” he replies, smiling and not taking his eyes off of you.
you paused the movie and shifted your body towards him, intrigued by his explaination. “how so?”
“well, first off,” steve starts, resting his hands on the soft mattress. “you’re both sweet, you’re both a huge ray of sunshine, have gorgeous eyes and smile, and eugene is head over heels over you — and since he doesn’t exist in real life, i’d like to be the substitute.” he finished with a confident smile.
after about three seconds, you burst out of laughter. you laughed. as much as he loves the sound of your laugh, he can’t help but pout. “(y/n), i’m trying to be sweet here!”
“i’m sorry!- it’s just- i can’t help but laugh at your flirting.” you managed to say between your laughs. you know he’s kidding but he looked at you like he was offended.
your laughter died down and held steve’s face. “it’s cute, sorry.” you mumble with a little laugh. when he finally smiled you turned to your laptop and continued the movie.
steve gazes at you for a few more seconds before watching the movie with you again. “thank you.” you whisper, glancing at him.
“you’re very much welcome, my rapunzel.” he says smiling before he slides a bit down on the bed so his head could reach your shoulder and rests it there.
you giggled as you heard him whisper,
“thank you, olivia rodrigo.”

Comfort in the Dark
Daniel/Lando Fluff
Daniel squinted at the bright screen of his phone when heard a noise, the time displayed was 1:03am and he was now certain someone was at the door as the knocking continued. It was evidently the sound that had brought his peaceful sleep to a pause. Although he was slightly annoyed by being woken, he knew no one would be at his door at this time without a good reason, which made him a little uneasy. 
With a bathrobe now hugging over his half naked body, he pulled the door open. The frustration built up when he couldn’t locate the culprit, he leaned out of the door, spotting a familiar mop of curls heading away down the corridor. 
“What the fuck man?” Daniel huffed, startling his teammate who clearly hadn’t heard the door opening, his eyes wide at the sound of Daniel’s voice. “Playing knock and run at 1am?” 
Lando winced, strolling back to where he was just a few seconds before, disturbing the Aussie’s sleep. “Sorry I just thought you might be awake, but then you weren’t opening so I just-,”. He continued rambling on an explanation, avoiding eye contact.
“Well I am awake now cause you’re fucking around, mate go to bed we have a race tomorrow.” 
“I wasn’t-,” Lando began, but let out an exhausted sigh, his head shaking. “Nevermind, see you tomorrow Danny.” His tone was so fragile, as if his voice threatened to crack any moment which didn’t go unnoticed by Daniel, just like the way Lando’s fingers were almost pulling apart the sleeves of the Quadrant hoodie he was wearing. 
He had already turned back to walk away again when Daniel softened, his anger replaced by concern and suddenly feeling wide awake. “Wait, are you okay?” At his question, Lando stopped in his tracks with his shoulders slumping even further than before. Slowly turning to face Dan, his head gently shook from side to side in a silent response. That’s all Daniel needed before pushing the door to his room open further and stepping to the side to let Lando in. 
It actually wasn’t the first time Lando had come to him looking as if he was a hug away from bursting into tears. They got on well as friends and teammates, perhaps they weren’t that close off track, though this didn’t stop them from comforting one another when it was necessary. 
It started when Daniel was missing out on Q3 and then not finishing in points for a few races in a row, he felt awful, unable to pinpoint what was going on with him. Lando came to see him that time and instead of the usual ‘I’ll help you with more data if you need it’, he suggested they could hang out, what he didn’t quite expect was for Daniel to just hug him tightly. Lando felt a little awkward, he playfully commented how he could have just asked for cuddles if he needed them. He took him up on that offer the same evening. They didn’t speak about it after. 
The second time it happened, it was after Lando had crashed during qualifying, whenever he closed his eyes to sleep that night it felt like he was about to be thrown around in the car again and he wanted nothing more than to be held. Dan’s room was right beside his, he didn’t know Daniel had stayed up that night, wanting to check up on Lando himself though not quite building the courage to do so, he was relieved when Lando came to him. Once again, they didn’t speak about it after.
The difference between the situations was that both of these were clearly the other needing comfort after a bad experience during the sessions. Though, today Lando had qualified on pole position, his first one in formula 1, so why the hell was he sulking in Dan’s room at this time?
He sat down on his bed, patiently waiting for Lando to tell him what was on his mind. He watched him as he stood in the middle of the room, clearly not sure what to do with himself, tugging the sleeves of his hoodie over his nervous hands then placing them over his face before blurting out. “I’m scared.”
Daniel frowned. “Of?” 
“Of fucking up in the race, fucking up the start, making a mistake, crashing, disappointing the whole team.” He paused to take a breath, his teammate mentally begging him not to continue the list. “What if this is my only chance to win and I fuck it up. It’s all I can think about, Danny.” 
The way he said his name sounded like a beg, a cry to help him stop the thoughts from spiraling. Daniel raised to his feet, stepping closer and using the pocket of his hoodie to draw his smaller frame into his embrace, Lando immediately responded by wrapping his arms around Dan’s waist, his face nuzzling into his chest. Daniel softly massaged out the tension built up in the muscle between his neck and shoulder, a low hum escaping his lips in response to the touch. 
Daniel pulled back once Lando’s breathing had returned to a somewhat calmer pace. “Come on, let’s get you to bed.” He helped him get out of his hoodie before slipping out of the robe himself and both of them settling into the bed comfortably. Surprisingly, Lando didn’t turn away with his back to Daniel like he had done the previous nights they met. Dan figured it was because he felt a little embarrassed about being vulnerable and being cuddled by him, but this time he was facing Dan with his sparkly eyes on him. 
Lando’s eyes closed for a brief moment as Dan’s arm wrapped around him, his fingers brushing through the curls on the back of his head, when his eyes opened their gaze met, sending shivers down Lando’s back. Knowing he had about half a second before Lando would begin to overthink the way his body just reacted, Daniel spoke up. “You know you’ve been amazing all season, you’re capable of getting this win.” Lando winced - even Daniel had high expectations of him, he almost rolled away from him, but Daniel held him still. “But even if you don’t, it’s okay because this is just one opportunity out of many… You’re getting better and better with experience, I’m sure one day getting on pole’s will be a normal thing for you.” 
Lando still seemed unconvinced, a sigh leaving his lips. “You really think I can do this?”
Daniel chuckled, “Of course you can.” There wasn’t the slightest hint of hesitation. “If not tomorrow, then many times in the near future.”
The reassurance was met with a small upwards tug of Lando’s lips, but not quite yet forming a smile. He leaned into Daniel’s fingers which were currently massaging his scalp. He allowed himself to close his eyes and focus on the soothing sensation mixed with Dan’s further whispers of comfort. 
At one point Daniel believed Lando was asleep as he hadn’t spoken or moved a lot, he noticed how long he had been staring at him so he forced himself to reach for the lamp and switch off the light. He absentmindedly moved closer to Lando, his lips pressing to his forehead and he became very aware of what he’s done when Lando stiffened beside him, his eyes now open and very much showing he hadn’t been asleep just yet. Daniel felt his own breath get caught in his chest, he didn’t mean to scare him, now he’s fucked it completely and clearly overstepped some sort of boundary. He moved back, ready to apologise when he saw a sleepy smile slowly form on Lando’s face, the light coming through the gaps in the window curtains allowing him to thankfully distinguish it in the dark. Lando, no longer tense, pressed himself further into Daniel, the Aussie relieved and left with a flutter in his stomach when Lando found his hand and entwined their fingers, whispering a goodnight.
A slam of the door made Daniel’s eyes snap open, letting out a string of curse words when he realised it was Lando who was no longer in the room and apparently wasn’t able to close the door quietly like a normal human being. It was already bright outside so he reached out for his phone to check how long he had left before his alarm would ring. When grabbing the device his hand bumped into something warm on the nightstand that he knew previously wasn’t there, making him slowly sit up to see what it was.
He found a takeaway cup standing on the side, when lifting it closer, the smell of coffee finally reached him, already filling his chest with warmth and switching his mood when he realised how it got there. ‘Thank you.’ Was written on the cardboard with a little love heart underneath, when he turned the cup the other side displayed ‘Let’s get ‘em’ written with the same black marker. 
He stared at the closed door with a fond smile on his face.
In the paddock Daniel couldn’t help but steal glances at Lando to make sure he was doing okay, he was evidently still nervous and Daniel had the urge to walk over to him and hug him. That's why when he had a few minutes spare with still some time before the race due to start and he spotted Lando being left alone in his drivers room, he went over to him. As soon as the door closed behind him and Lando realised who had entered, he walked right over to him, his arms wrapping around his older teammate instantly. Dan whispered a small “hi” before his hand found its way into his hair, massaging his scalp the same way he did last night. 
Lando pulled back to look into his eyes, “Can you do it again?” Daniel frowned at his request, confused if he was referring to him massaging his scalp which he was still doing anyway. 
“Kiss my forehead.” Lando whispered. “You know, like for good luck.” He nervously added, waiting for Dan’s reaction. 
Meanwhile Daniel felt his heart almost leap out his chest with affection. He smiled, pressing his lips to Lando’s forehead and letting them linger for a moment before moving to peck the tip of his nose and carrying on down to his lips. Daniel’s lips hovered over Lando’s letting him pull back if he wanted to, but instead Lando leaned in, capturing his lips in a kiss. 
Maybe this time they’ll speak about it.

Tumblr media
“hold on- they what?” george said in disbelief. “they b-broke up with me.” sapnap broke down once again. 
“wait what? can you explain?” 
sapnap explained everything. from when you called him over to tell him something to when you drove away. 
“holy shit... that was a lot to process.” 
he scoffed. “yeah, it was a lot for me too.” he slumped back in his chair. “i think i need to get off- to uh- think.” 
“sure’s” and “take care’s” erupted from the call before he left. once he did, he shut his computer down and laid on his bed. sapnap laid there for what felt like years, in reality just ten minutes. 
he finally decided to get up to do... something. he wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, all he knew was that he needed to get you off his mind. 
sapnap walked around his house, trying to find something to do. whether that would be laundry or maybe the dishes. after a while, he found a box. it was a lego set. sapnap sat down and examined the box and its items inside.
he was confused for why he had it, before it clicked. you two had bought it so that you could assemble the lego set and chat with each other, a dumb bonding experience that you weren’t able to do. 
fuck. it reminded him of you. 
“ugh!” he groaned and rested his head in his hands. he stood up and kicked the box in anger. 
if you were there, you would make fun of him for looking and acting like a chil-
it happened again! it reminded him of you,
out of frustration, he lets out a loud screech. it seemed like he just couldn’t get you out of his mind. due to that, he did the only thing he could think of. 
sapnap grabbed his car keys and headed to his car; he drove to the nearest convenience store. 
“will this be all?” the cashier said with no emotion as they scanned his bottles. “yup” he responded, popping the ‘p.’
alcohol.
he knew it wasn’t the best coping mechanism, but he’s going through some stuff. can you blame him? he mumbled a ‘thank you’ and walked over to his car. 
once he got to his house, he immediately opened one of the bottles of beer and chugged it down. he drank about a quarter of it and his throat felt sore. 
even if it was painful, for a split second, he almost forgot about all of his problems. a few more beers wouldn’t hurt. 
right? 
Tumblr media
you drove for hours, unfortunately not finding any motels or at least a random parking lot. it was close to 10 pm and you needed to find one fast. 
after a few more hours, it was 1am and you finally found a parking lot. it wasn’t the best but it would have to do.  
once you got a room, you plopped on the bed. as soon as you did, you went straight to sleep. 
flowers. they were everywhere. it was so comforting yet so sickening, like you wanted to puke. you couldn’t really explain the feeling.
the flowers were specifically daisies, like the ones sapnap got for you on your first date. 
talking about sapnap, there he was in all his glory. he was sitting on a bench, just looking at the flowers. 
he looked up to see you. “y/n! there you are, i’ve been waiting for you since like, forever.” he said with a chuckle. 
you looked at him, baffled. “wha- what? we broke up what do you mean?”
“come one y/n, don’t make jokes about that! you know how much that scares me.” 
you were still confused. what is this place? why is he acting as if nothing happened? 
“anyways, let’s go! i have something to show you.” sapnap grabbed your hand ran towards the sun. you could do nothing but run. 
when you were close to your destination, sapnap covered your eyes. “no peaking! it’s a surprise.”
“alright, in 3, 2, 1- surprise!”
you opened your eyes to your motel room. your eyes darted around confused. “where- where’s the flowers? where’s sapnap?”
dumbass. it was a dream.  
you stood up and used the bathroom. when you finished, you checked out of the motel. 
you drove to the nearest mcdonald's you could find and bought the cheapest meal, seeing as you still had about 2-3 days before you would make it to your family’s house.
you parked in the parking lot and ate away, not really thinking about anything since you were starving. once you finished, your senses came back to you. how you had little money to make through 2-3 days, how long it would take to get to your home again, and sapnap.  
you used to always buy mcdonald’s together. he would always order the same meal, he never changed. 
“i really need get him off my mind.” you whispered to yourself. it just wanted to make you cry on the spot. you missed  him, you really did. but this was for the better. 
right? 
Tumblr media
sapnap giggled at everything he saw, whether that was his sneezes or the moving pixels on his screen. he was currently watching some random miniature kitchen cooking video he found. 
he sighed. “this is boring! is there anything else better?” he clicked on random parts of the screen, trying to find something different to watch. 
somehow, he found his way to old videos of you and him. they were just you having fun and making jokes; they were recorded before you started dating. he saw how happy he looked, how happy you looked. you both looked so happy and giddy he just couldn’t help but cry. he missed you, you were funny, kind, and so many other things. you were amazing. 
he grabbed his phone and dialed your number as fast as he could. hopefully you didn't block him.
after two rings, he heard the voice that always brought him comfort. "hello?"
sapnap couldn't say anything. no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't. "if you're not going to say anything, i'm going to en-"
"wait! no, please. not yet. i uh..." he struggled to find the right words. "uhm. can we talk? are you free right now?"
"hm."
silence. it was pure silence for what felt like forever. you were still on the road, so it would be pretty dangerous to say yes. but you probably wouldn't get this chance ever again.
"no. i'm still on the road, i don't want to crash." you said with a dry laugh. "oh, alright. i'll talk to you later. goodbye."
before you could say 'bye' as well, sapnap had already ended the call. now that ypu think about it. he was probably drunk or really tired because he was slurring his words.
no matter what it was, he was definitely not okay.
sapnap placed his phone on his table and stood up to go to the bathroom. he splashed water on his face, not exactly washing it. it was just to keep himself awake for later.
unfortunately, it didn't work. as soon as he sat on his bed, he fell back asleep.
a dog started to bark at him, it scared him to be honest. he kept backing away, trying to keep distance from the dog. it wasn't long before it started to grab onto his shoe.
he was confused but he assumed that he was trying to lead him somewhere. sapnap followed the dog to a door. it was white and had a golden doorknob.
he hesitantly opened the door and to his surprise, it was a long hallway with a bunch a doors. they were in different shapes and sizes, it was weird.
he walked down the hallway, examining all the doors. there was one that really stuck out to him. it was a light green door that had flowers and vines engraved in it.
sapnap opened the door, expecting another hallway but it wasn't. it was his bedroom and the two of you were lying on his bed, cuddling.
walking towards you slowly, he reached out to touch you, to see if it was real. unfortunately, he tripped and fell forward. he closed his eyes and braced himself.
he opened his eyes to his room and he was lying down on his stomach. you were both gone and he was alone. sapnap groaned and was about to go bacl to sleep before he remembered something. he had to call you back.
sapnap hurriedly grabbed his phone and checked his notifications.
2 missed calls from 'baby💕' 3 hours ago
shit.
the phone rang 3 times before you picked up. "hey, i tried calling you earlier, why didn't you answer?"
"yeah- sorry i fell asleep."
"oh." you sighed in relief, greatful that he didn't purposely ignore you. "so, what do you need to talk about?" sapnap
"okay so," he took a deep breath. "i really miss you and you're great and amazing. please don't take this the wrong way but i hope we can still be friends. i really enjoyed all our times together." sapnap said all too quickly for you to understand.
"what? could you repeat that but slower? you went too fast." you giggled. sapnap blushed and coughed. "sorry. uh- so- okay." he took a deep breath, "i know we ended it rough but i was hoping that we could stay as friends? i hope you don't take this the wrong way." he stuttered.
you blinked. once. twice. you thought about it, you wanted to stay friends too but wouldn't it be it awkward? since he was your ex and all.
"sure." you said softly. sapnap pumped his fist in the air and whispered a small 'yes'.
"okay. well, i have go get going. i'll talk to you when i'm free, yeah?"
"sure. why not. alright." sapnap replied, cringing at himself for messing up. you laughed quietly, "bye, sapnap."
as soon as you both ended the call, sapnap called dream. "dream, we're okay now!"
"who's 'we'?"
sapnap had lots of explaing to do, again. but this time, it was good news.
Tumblr media
"thank you everyone for coming to my stream, bye everyone!" sapnap said gleefully. just right efter he ended stream, the door bell rung.
he stood up and walked over to his mirror. he sprayed some perfume on himself and smiled.
sapnap opened his door and just as he was expecting, it was you. "you ready to go ice skating?" you questioned.
"ready as i'll ever be."
it was still the same with the two of you, the only thing that changed was the fact that you weren't a couple anymore. maybe it was just fate.

First In Line
Jax Teller x Reader
Requested by @rocketqueen
Prompt: “I don’t think you realise just how many people want to date you...I mean you’ve got a queue longer than the one to get into Glastonbury” -
Tumblr media
Looking around your living room, a smile formed on your lips. Tonight was the weekly pizza and beer night. You only had a small house but somehow everyone managed to be comfortable, it was cozy.
You were sitting on the floor between Jax’s legs, this was your spot, always has been and always would be.
“Hit me” You smiled leaning your head back against Jax’s groin, looking up at him.
“I swear its like having a pet” He smirked as he held a piece of pizza in front of your mouth so you could take a bite before taking the slice off him.
“Thank you” You said, sticking your tongue out at him.
Everyone just wished you would hurry up and get together, seen as you both acted like a couple anyway.
“So I was thinking” Juice smiled “lets play a game, we each go around and say two truths and a lie and then the others have to guess which one is the lie”
“How old are you again?” You winked at him.
“For that you are going first” Juice laughed, making you groan.
“Fine” you huffed “right so I have never had a boyfriend because no one shows any interest in me”
As soon as you finished speaking you heard Jax choke on his beer. Leaning your head back you looked at him to make sure he was okay.
“Carry on” he nodded.
“I have always been too scared to learn how to ride and when I was about 8 years old I got stuck in the washer machine” You said resting your head on Jax’s knee feeling him playing with your hair.
“Definitely the boyfriend thing” Chibs nodded followed by everyone agreeing.
“Nope the lie was getting stuck in the washer machine” You said trying to read the room.
“Just so you know there are plenty of people interested in you darlin’” Jax said.
“Well where are they then” you sighed “because I sure as hell don’t see them”
“I don’t think you realise just how many people want to date you...I mean you’ve got a queue longer than the one to get into Glastonbury” Jax whispered running his hands through your hair.
The rest of the room fell silent thinking that Jax was going to confess but it never went any further.
Tumblr media
It was now 1am and everyone apart from you and Jax had fallen asleep where they were sitting.
You and Jax were sitting out on your front porch, a blanket wrapped around the two of you, smoking, drinking coffee and watching the stars, your head was resting on his shoulder and your whole body felt a peace, it always did around Jax. You didn’t have to pretend you were better people.
This was one of Jax’s favorite times, just you and him. In fact in his head he pretended that you were together.
One thing that you couldn’t stop thinking about was what he said earlier that night.
“Can I ask you something?” You whispered.
“Darlin’ you know you can ask me anything” Jax whispered kissing your head “what's going on it that pretty head of yours”
“Just what you said earlier” You said softly “about how I have a line as long as the Glastonbury queue of people that want to date me, were you being serious?”
Jax was slightly taken back by the question, he hated how you didn’t believe people were interested in you for more than just a one night stand.
“Look at me” Jax whispered, placing his fingers under your chin, moving your head so you were looking into his eyes. He smiled lovingly at you, his heart was melting at how beautiful you looked in the moonlight, there was something so raw about this moment.
“I was being serious” He whispered running his thumb across your cheek “and I know your next question is going to be how do you know, I know because I am first in fucking line darlin’, I always have been”
The words got caught in your throat at his revelation. It took you a couple of moments to process what he said.
“But why?” You mumbled “I am obviously nothing special”
“Hey, I never want to hear you say you aren’t special again okay” he whispered, linking his hand with yours, brushing his thumb over the top of your head. You would be lying if you said you didn’t feel sparks and butterflies right now.
“Okay” you nodded.
“I didn’t want to fall in love, or need someone. I really didn’t want anything especially with the life I live. But then you appeared and I started wanting everything, when I look at you, I see the one I love, the one I need, the one I am meant to be with”
Silent tears were falling down your cheeks, you couldn’t believe that the person you saw as your best friend had been in love with you for so long and you have no idea.
“And if you gave me a chance I would spend every single moment showing you how much I love you” He whispered, wiping the tears away with his thumb.
You didn’t know where the confidence came from, you felt a buzz and not just from the beer. Reaching up you place your hand on the side of Jax’s face, feeling his lean into your touch. You took a deep breath before closing the small gap that was between the two of you, your lips connecting with his. And in that moment everything felt right, nothing else mattered right now and it was like it was just you and Jax.
Your lips moved in sync, the passion and love being spoken in words that you didn’t know how to say. Pulling away you rested your forehead against his, a large smile gracing both of your faces.
“You don’t know how long I have been waiting for this moment Y/N” he whispered “so what do you say? Wanna give us a shot and be my girl?”
“Do you think I would have kissed you if I didn’t want to give us a shot” You giggled before letting a long yawn escape your lips.
“Come on lets get you to bed” He whispered kissing you softly.
You were now laid in bed, wrapped up in Jax’s arms, things still felt like a dream and you just hoped that come morning it wasn’t a dream.
“So are you really scared on learning how to ride?” Jax asked as you ran your fingers across his bare chest.
“Yeah” You whispered feeling slightly embarrassed.
“But you ride with me all the time” He said running his fingers down your arm.
“Yeah I know but I’m not in control of the bike” You said looking up at him.
“Do you want to learn to ride on your own?” He asked.
“Yeah I do” You nodded listening to his heartbeat.
“Well then tomorrow, you and me will go for a ride into the middle of nowhere, so its just us and I will teach you how to ride” He whispered, you could tell by the sound of his voice he was smiling.
“Jax I can’t” You mumbled.
“I won’t let anything happen to you darlin’, I will be right behind you until you feel you are confident enough to ride on your own” He whispered kissing your head “Now beautiful, get some sleep”
“Night Jax” You mumbled letting your eyes flutter close, letting the sound of his heartbeat be the lullaby you needed to drift to sleep.
Jax couldn't help it, he stayed awake a bit longer to watch the angel, his angel sleeping peacefully on his chest, he didn’t think this day would come, the day that he could finally call you his girl but here he was, on cloud nine and he only had Juice to thank for wanting to play a silly game.
