💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!
i see you talk about those funny kids from fnf (talk about lotsa characters itll be fun im interested)
"lotsa characters" you say 👀? alright, you asked for it /lh
this is gonna be decently long, cause it'll be a mix of headcanons (in bold) and other nonsense
so let's start with my personal favorite: pico (my beloved)!
-this orange haired man has rotted my brain entirely.
-oh my GOD i just want him to be happy
-canonically schizophrenic which i actually didn't know until now
-he's totally at least partially latino and can speak spanish change my mind
-he/it pico lives in my head rent free
-he can actually sing really well but usually doesn't around people
-secretly a massive theater kid but shh don't tell anyone he has a reputation to uphold
-taller than blake (bf), the same height as nene, NOT taller than gabby (gf) and darnell
-didn't formally graduate high school for obvious reasons but he did get his GED
-IN A HAPPY POLYAM RELATIONSHIP WITH BLAKE AND GABBY SHH THIS ONE'S CANON IN MY HEART
-they encouraged him to go to therapy
-learned sign language for blake the first time they dated
-taught sign language to gabby
-i think he's genuinely a very responsible gun owner. i normally don't like people who open carry in public but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much this time
-he canonically would have majored in computer science if he went to college i hate that he was robbed of the opportunity
-he goes back to college after he starts dating blake and gabby, at their encouragement
-he graduates top of his class
-he picks up ukelele as a hobby while he's in college because i think it suits him
-canonically wants to be a dj
-successfully becomes a dj as a side gig after graduation
-I SO DESPERATELY WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY
alright this post is gonna literally only be about pico if i don't stop so let's move on
the little beep bop man himself, boyfriend! (i call him blake):
-canonically bi we love that for him
-i know that his name has pretty much been confirmed to literally just be boyfriend but i refuse, i cannot call him that
-for some reason i seem to be the only one who wasn't surprised to find out he was 19
-a lot of people seem to think he was like 15?? i don't see it
-his concept art originally had bright pink hair what a king
-half japanese
-i accept the "miku is his sister" bit as canon it's just cool and fun okay
-the blue hair runs in the family
-he's CONFIRMED to be autistic and adhd i just found out i thought that was just a headcanon of mine but it turn out that i'm right as i always should be
-frequently nonverbal, communicates a lot with sign language
-japanese is his first language
-he learned spanish for pico bc it's pico's first language and LOOK im a sucker for "person learns their partner's first language for them"
-trans (but everyone knew i headcanoned this right? how could i not)
-he's actually the one who broke up with pico the first time around bc fuck those boring ass "pico breaks up with bf to keep him safe/bc he thinks he's not good enough/doesn't deserve him/whatever" hcs and fics, those are boring
-breaking up with pico was hard on him, but he did it because he recognized that pico was not ready for a relationship emotionally with regards to his trauma and everything, and staying would only hurt them both
-he was right, but that didn't make it any easier
-is him being a college dropout canon? i dont remember if that was canon or not
-i think his parents are probably not bad people, but they're the kind of parents who let work come before their kid. they were there, but not really THERE. trying to win him over with gifts and stuff when he just wants to spend time with him
-but they turn themselves around when he gets older and they realize "oh shit we actually weren't there for most of our son's life"
-it doesn't fix everything, obviously, but they put a sincere effort in and adult blake has a much better relationship with his parents than he did when he was younger
-hm maybe i'm projecting my own desires a bit with that last one haha what i didn't say anything
anyway
girlfriend! (i call her gabby):
-once again, it seems like a bunch of people thought she was younger than she is and i don't get it
-lost her SHIT when she found out that blake and miku are siblings
-she's a huge miku fan
-she tried to learn sign language on her own, but really struggled with it until she started getting lessons from pico
-she once dyed her hair blue to match with blake
-most people assume she's the fashionista of the poly trio, but she literally just wears her mom's clothes, shes not the fashionista
-she's also not the "brains of the relationship" like many people seem to think. that's just weird creepy language that i reject.
-SHE'S NOT MANIPULATING BLAKE FUCK OFF
-blake was her first partner, and she knows so little about being human, so when things got... let's say intimate for tumblr's sake, between them she needed a lot of guidance on what was good, what was painful, what walked the fine line inbetween, etc
-i mean, you should having those conversations and communication with your partner about intimacy regardless but especially when they're a demon who's never dated a human
-even outside of the bedroom, blake has taught her a lot about being human, and really helped her grow as a person
-it's growth she COULD have done by herself, sure, but it's a lot easier and faster when someone's helping you through it
-SHE IS ALSO CONFIRMED AUTISTIC AND ADHD EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU PHANTOMARCADE
-her parents homeschooled her
SPEAKING of her parents
the dearests! (i don't have names for them lol):
-lumping them together because i really only have one thing for them and that's that
-they're really not bad people either. they love their daughter to bits, and if they had someone to guide and teach them the way blake did to gabby, they would absolutely come around. they honestly think they're doing what's best for her. obviously this doesn't make it RIGHT, but they do say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
okay moving on
the spooky kids, skid and pump!:
-i'll be real i don't know much about them or their source material
-i just think they're cute
-they stay on good terms with blake and gabby after their appearance in week 2
anyway
senpai, our favorite slender bishonen ;) (i call him seth!):
-HE'S NOT DEAD FUCK YOU
-canonically an entirely different character from spirit, which is good, because idk fuck all abt spirit
-i want him out of that video game right now
-when i tell you this guy gives me such "gay and homophobic" vibes...
-he's also trans
-i accept "monika is his sister" as canon in my heart
and rounding off with...
tankman!:
-i dont know anything about tankman. literally zero.
-HOWEVER.
-he has this line of dialogue
Tumblr media
-which implies that he either dyes his hair or at least used to, and has gotten hair dye in his eyes
-i love that for him
-also he's canonically asexual. king.
-like yeah the tweet that confirms it is a little bit mocking but confirmed representation is confirmed representation.
-okay i like tankdad a little bit
-i saw a really good tankdad fic with him apologizing to pico about the school shooting comment because that was genuinely fucked up
-look i just want pico to have a father figure of some sort because his actual (unnamed) father is implied to be a shitty dude who doesnt love him and
-dammit, i'm talking about pico again
-i went back like 6 times to add more stuff to the pico part of this post and now i can't even keep it contained to one section

marvins room - zendaya x fem!reader
Pairing: Zendaya x Fem!Reader
Warning: angst, swearing
Request: i’m in my feels rn so can u do an imagine based off of ‘marvin’s room’ - drake w/ zendaya x reader?
Marvins Room
I may or may not have been crying while writing this. Marvins Room is my shit. It always gets me in my feels.
Tumblr media
“Are you drunk right now?” The words rang through Zendaya’s body, her eyes were closed. Phone pressed against her ear as she tried picturing what you were doing right now. Trying to remember the curves of your nose, the arch of your brows, your lips. All of it. 
But the alcohol was fogging up her brain. She remembered where she’d been a few minutes ago . before she was sitting at the edge of her bathtub. Scrolling through her phone looking for the little red heart next to your name. 
“Are you sure you wanna drink that?” Jacob’s hand was reaching for the shot glass making its way towards Zendaya’s lips. Before he could stop her, the cold glass hit her lips. The tequila burning her throat in the process. Her brows furrowed with disgust, but satisfaction. 
Before Jacob could get another word in, the second shot glass was attached to her lips. Head tilted, eyes shut as the liquid disappeared from the glass like a magic trick. Zendaya groaned, slamming the second glass on the marble counter. 
“Yo, Z. I think it’s time to stop.” Jacob was concerned. He pushed the glasses away from her, his hand reaching for the bottle snatching it from the table and out of her reach. 
He’d never seen Zendaya this way. She was usually the babysitter of the group. Yeah, she enjoyed having fun. She wasn’t a prude. But she didn’t drink. Well, she didn’t get drunk. It just wasn’t her. 
“Jacob, I’m fine.” Zendaya dragged out each word longer than necessary. He could smell the alcohol dripping from her mouth. She was drunk. Her forehead falling on his shoulder, body slouched. She was taller than him, but she needed the support. 
It was clear Zendaya’s mind had exited her body. One hand was clutching to the edge of the marble countertop, the other was on Jacob’s shoulder as her head rested on it. She was wobbling. 
She didn’t know what came over her. The sudden urge to puke all the alcohol she’d consumed? No. Definitely not. The alcohol was numbing the pain. The pain. That was what came over her. The hurt she felt in her heart. The heart that only beat for one. For you. 
“Uh, yeah. I mean I just might have drank a little.” You could hear the amount of shots she’d taken. You could hear the vulnerability. The pain. 
“Okay.” You didn’t know what to say. How do you respond to that? 
“You didn’t come,” her words stung. Not because she’d said something hurtful. But because it was true. You didn’t. You’d been invited, not by her. But you knew about the party. You weren’t as strong. You couldn’t bring yourself to get ready. To drag yourself out of the comfort of your home to a place that would just bring back too many memories. Too much pain. 
“Is she there right now?” Zendaya asked, the familiar feeling of having her heart twisted and crushed filled her body. She didn’t want to know. But, boy, did she care. She cared so fucking much. 
“No.”  
“Do you still think about us?” Zendaya was pushing the boundaries. She would never been this bold. Hey, I guess that’s what tequila does to you. 
“Z...” your voice trailed off not knowing how to respond. She was drunk. Not in a right state of mind. Did you think about her? Hell yeah, you thought about her. Every day. 
The touch of her fingers on your cheeks while she pressed her lips against your own was overwhelming. You felt like you were going to burst. The love, the pleasure it was all too much. It was always too much with her. But a good much. 
Your hands were lost in her hair, pulling on it gently as she pushed you towards the bed. The moment was heated, passion filled the room. 
You tumbled on to the bed, her legs straddling your body as the kissed deepened. Noses brushing, teeth clashing, tongues wrestling. You swore you could live this like forever. 
Your eyes were closed shut. The tears forming in your eyes stung and you tried swallowing the knot in your throat. 
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have. I just-” Zendaya cleared her throat and you knew she was on the verge of tears too. It didn’t take long before you heard her gasping for air, her soft sobs clear through the phone. She sniffled, clearing her throat before finishing her sentence. 
“I just wanted to check up. I’m gonna go now.” She whispered, wiping the tears from her eyes before hanging up. 
The beep was daunting, leaving you with your thoughts. The memories and the soreness of the pain. 
Zendaya’s head was pounding. The extra shots of tequila had been a bad idea. She knew that now. She reached for her phone. 2:43AM. She groaned letting her head fall back on her pillows. 
“You’re up,” your voice echoed through the silent room. Zendaya sat up, searching for your voice. She felt a tug on her comforter as she got up and she knew you were laying next to her. But she didn’t know why. Or when you’d gotten there. 
“Darnell called. Said you were really drunk and he was worried.” You cleared your throat, your voice was raspy. Yeah, you were there because he didn’t know who else to call. He knew you were the root of her drinking that night. But, you were there because you’d heard the pain in her voice. 
You patted the spot where she’d been sleeping before. Urging her to lay down. You could see the confusion in her face through the dim light entering from the window. 
“How much did I drink?” she asked resting her head on her pillow, facing you. Her moves were calculated. Arms close to her chest, eyes searching your face. 
“Enough to call me,” you whispered. 
Zendaya closed her eyes. They were stinging. Her head still pounding, almost as hard as her heart was.
Your hand reached over to the hair that had fallen on her face, pushing it back softly revealing her face. Her mascara was smeared from the crying. You ran your thumb along the marks feeling her body relax against your touch. Your thumb traced her cheekbone, running all the way down to her lips. You had memorized those lips. But your thumb traced her top lip and then her bottom one, engraving the shapes it in your mind. 
Zendaya opened her eyes. They met yours instantly. The pull was strong. She couldn’t hold back. Not anymore. Whatever had happened between the two of you was not as strong enough as her urge to feel you again. 
You felt the same. Because before either of you knew it, your noses were touching. Her hands were behind your thigh pulling you closer and yours had made themselves at home in her hair pulling her face towards yours until your lips connected. A rush of electricity coursed through both of your bodies. 
The kiss was sloppy. Filled with the pain and longing you both had been feeling these part few months. It was desperate. 
You knew this wasn’t right. You knew you had to talk about it. You knew this could end many ways, but right now you didn’t care. 
Her lips were intoxicating. Almost as much as the alcohol she’d consumed that night. And you were addicted.

Big Hero 6/OUAT AU
Okay guys--so I worked this whole big AU up in my head while I was at work today, inspired by @honeyxmonkey ‘s Tangled the series OUAT AU and @greensword101​ ‘s accompanying ask to me about Fred finding Hiro and giving him a hug once the curse was broken! Now, sadly I think I accidentally left my page of notes at work, or else they’re just lost somewhere in my bag, but I’m going to type of everything that I remember and hope for the best--here we go!
Backstory of how everyone got dragged into the curse: So I’m not even going to try to go into weird multi-versey type shit and try to be detailed with this but what you need to know is that Fred/Tadashi and Honey Lemon/Gogo are the main ships here, and Fred’s mom/Gogo’s parents are not happy about this, like at all. I have this headcanon that Gogo’s parents, while not as wealthy as Fred’s parents, are pretty well off (business owners? doctors? I’ll leave it up to your imagination) and are not at all happy with Gogo’s lifestyle choices/were probably emotionally and psychologically if not physically abusive to her, which is why as soon as she could she ran away to live with Honey Lemon’s family, and she and Honey Lemon eventually got together. Definitely not the match her parents wanted for her and they’re still mad that she wasn’t this perfect feminine daughter that they wanted. Fred’s mom is kind of the same way but mostly she’s just homophobic as shit and also wanted to marry Fred off to some rich girl like her and Fred’s dad’s parents did to the two of them. When it came down to choosing, Fred’s dad chose his son over her and divorced her, so she’s pissed because of that. 
Moving forward before this gets too long: Long story short, Gogo’s parents and Fred’s mom kind of knew each other from moving in the same social circles and when they somehow find out about the curse (which wasn’t going to hit most of San Fransokyo, if at all) they either go to Regina or (more likely) Rumpelstiltskin and make a deal so that they can get not only themselves and their families pulled into this other world where they can have the lives that they wanted, but also pull in the friends and other people who encouraged Gogo and Fred to be themselves and “punish” them for what they did. 
Characters Involved and Their Lives After the Curse:
Fred (new name: George): Engaged to Gogo (a match set up by his mom and Gogo’s parents), his dad in the cursed world doesn’t even fight his mom on things so he had no one to teach him to fight for himself and so he’s just sort of letting life get away from him and hiding in his fantasy stories and comics to escape reality.
Gogo (Edith): Engaged to Fred, never actually rebelled and never ran away from home so while she’s still got her fighting spirit on the inside it’s mostly been stamped out and she spends her days going to social events she hates and acting like she’s the perfect daughter she isn’t.
Honey Lemon (Heather): Works in an overly busy dress shop trying to earn money for college but is so underpaid she barely makes rent, let alone being able to save anything. She does all the tailoring on Gogo’s dresses and other clothes, including working on the wedding dress (which Gogo’s mom is never happy with, she’s probably made fifty dresses by now.) She and Gogo are secretly having a bit of a relationship (fitting rooms = closed doors and privacy with limited clothes for at least a short period of time) but no one can know. (More on the relationship below.)
Wasabi (Darnell): Honey Lemon’s roommate. Also trying to earn money for college (also failing at it), he works cleaning Fred’s family’s house--he’s great at the job because he’s so detail and cleanliness oriented, but he hates being around any germs, and the biggest part of the curse for him is having to clean Fred’s room.
Hiro (Nico): Hiro is a foster kid being “raised” by a horrible man named Montel (a.k.a. Yama) who forces Hiro into stealing things for him to “pay his keep” (and Hiro has the scars to show what happens if he disappoints him.)
Aunt Cass (Rachel): Works as the cook of Fred’s family, Fred’s mother delights in ordering her to make ridiculously elaborate and detailed meals, whether they have company or not, and then criticizing every part of them. Rachel would probably leave except she has a young son, Max, to look after and she can’t afford losing a job and having him taken away from her. (Red herring name alert: Max is actually a human version of Mochi, but if I ever turn this into an actual story it will be fun to throw people a bit off the trail! Also the reason Fred’s mom pulled Aunt Cass into this is because she felt Aunt Cass encouraged Tadashi and Fred to get together, being bi herself, and so she has an especial and very misplaced hatred for her.)
Tadashi (Shiro): Tadashi was found on the outskirts of town unconscious and covered in horrific burn scars. No one new his name except a few letters on a very decayed medical alert bracelet that looked a bit like Shiro (Tadashi Hamada--the “H” and “a” were pretty smeared kind of looked like “r” and “o”, the rest were completely illegible, so they guessed a bit on his name.) He was put in the hospital and put into a medically induced coma while he continued healing. When Emma came to town and time started moving again, Tadashi recovered enough for them to wake him up, but he has no memory of who he was or who his family was, and as his burns were still very severe and had gotten infected he’s still in the hospital for a very long time. (Explanation for Tadashi being alive: back in BH 6 world Fred’s dad, being a superhero, rescued Tadashi but since Tadashi was in such bad condition was still trying to get him back to being stable before letting anyone know that he was alive in case he didn’t make it. Fred’s mom did not count on this being a factor when she made the deal!)
Baymax (Mike): Baymax is a nurse in the hospital where Tadashi is being kept--in Once Upon a Time fashion, he did become human once in our world (I imagine his appearance being a lot like Aziraphale’s, only his irises are dark brown/almost black.) Another glitch in the curse (this time a literal one): even though Baymax’s memories were changed/rewritten for the curse, as a robot his system had backup storage for his memories. Robot brain being combined with a human brain was not quite compatible, so Baymax still talks/moves a bit like a robot which means a lot of people make fun of him for that, but more importantly, while he doesn’t remember everything, Baymax does have flashes of memories from the other world, and somewhat remembers being a robot. Of course anyone he tries to explain this to acts like he’s crazy so he’s learned to keep it to himself, but needless to say he feels a very strong connection to his patient, Shiro (who he at least on some level realizes is probably Tadashi), and is very, very protective of him. 
(This started getting long so actual story development below the cut!)
Story Ideas:
-Fred and Gogo, while resigned to their eventual marriage,are still both incredibly gay in spite of being forced into the closet, so their general secret arrangement is that they’ll be married for their parents’ sake but both are free to privately have lovers or partners (as long as their parents don’t find out about it.) Gogo’s first choice, of course, is Honey Lemon. Honey Lemon is totally in love with Gogo, but she’s torn as to whether she’d truly be happy spending her life as someone’s mistress and not truly married to someone she loves.
-Fred and Hiro meet for the first time when Fred catches Hiro breaking into his room, having been sent by Yama to loot the house. Fred almost calls security, but he sees how skinny Hiro is and how beat up he is and takes pity on him. He wants to call CPS but Hiro begs him not to, afraid of being sent to an even worse home (he has curse memories of being in even worse homes to keep him from ever leaving Yama.) Fred would gladly try to take Hiro in himself but he’s too afraid of what his mother would say. So instead he and Hiro make a deal--any time that Hiro wants to, he can come by the house, and Fred will provide him with money or whatever else he needs to take back to Yama to avoid getting in trouble, and then Hiro gets to secretly spend a few hours with Fred, playing video games, reading comics, doing all the fun kid stuff he never gets to do at home--and of course Aunt Cass makes it her mission to make sure that Hiro always gets at least one good meal while he’s there, even though she doesn’t understand why it hurts so much to see this teenager she doesn’t even know leave to go back to his foster home.
-Hiro and Baymax meet when Hiro’s class goes to the hospital to help decorate it for the patients (remember when Henry went and met “John Doe”? Same visit, even though Hiro is of course in a different, older class and also probably in a different wing of the hospital.) Baymax sees Hiro and, with his glitchy memories of the other world, remembers Hiro, but unfortunately Hiro is only freaked out by this stranger calling him Hiro (”My name is Niko!”) and acting like he knows him. Finally Baymax has to give up on that. Still, he “conveniently” sends Hiro to decorate the room of a sleeping patient in the burn unit. Hiro is grumbling about how stupid all of this is, how decorating a room won’t really help anyone, when he hears a voice saying, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is a waste.” He turns around to realize that the sleeping patient has woken up. 
The patient introduces himself as Shiro, and even though Hiro feels weird talking to this guy who’s mostly covered in bandages, somehow they end up talking all the same, and Hiro finds himself spilling his whole life story to Shiro, who turns out to be a great listener. When Hiro’s teacher tells him it’s time to leave, Hiro finds he actually doesn’t want to go! But Tadashi asks him to wait for a moment, and then pulls a small bag of gummy bears out from a bag by his bed, saying, “Here. My nurse brought these for me and I was saving them for later, but I think you need them more than me.” Which almost makes Hiro cry because he loves gummy bears but he can’t even remember the last time that he had them. (A.K.A. Hasn’t had them since being sent here by the curse.) He promises to come back to visit Tadashi as soon as he can, and he makes good on that promise. He and Tadashi can’t do a lot for each other, but they always find ways to do small things, like how Tadashi will always save the desserts from his meals to share with (or more often give to) Hiro, and Hiro will check out books from the library that he thinks Tadashi would like and reads to him. “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is a waste” becomes their motto. 
-Hiro, spending time with both Fred and Tadashi, and having started seeing both of them as older brother/almost dad figures, plus eventually finding out that they’re both gay, starts dreaming of a life where Tadashi heals enough to leave the hospital, then meets and gets together with Fred, and the two of them adopt Hiro and they all live their happily ever after together. Hiro never manages to get Fred to physically come to the hospital with him, but somehow convinces him to become pen pals with a “lonely guy with no family or loved ones to look after him (he totally pulls out the puppy dog eyes guilt trip) and somehow despite anyone’s best efforts to keep it from happening, Tadashi and Fred start to fall in love all over again :)
The Curse Breaks (a,k.a. the one part of the story I actually wrote):
Hiro races towards the center of town, running as fast as he possibly could. He’d through that Montel was evil--he’d never imagined that things could possibly get worse, but when Yama’s memories had returned Hiro was pretty sure it was only the delayed shock of getting all his memories back at once that had let Hiro get away with little more than a bloody nose (and his life.) Hiro had no idea what the hell was happening--how he was here, in some town called Storybrooke and not in San Fransokyo, and how he had these two completely different lives and memories living in his head and currently at war with each other--but all he really knew is that he needed to get somewhere safe. Somewhere that Yama couldn’t find him and hurt him. 
“Hiro!” Hiro almost kept running when he heard someone shouting his name, too terrified of Yama catching up with him if he stopped, but then he suddenly felt arms wrapping around him and, after a moment of struggling, he realizes that he knew the person holding him.
“F-Fred?” Hiro gasps, looking up at the older man.
“Yeah, Hiro--it’s me,” Fred answers, a look of relief in his eyes as he smiles down at Hiro.
“Y-You remember?” Hiro cries, glad that this was at least some sort of proof that he hadn’t gone completely crazy.
“Of course I do.” Fred hugs him tighter. “I-I’m so glad that you remember too, I was afraid that you might not--”
“No, I remember.” Hiro shakes his head before adding with a shiver, “A-And Yama does too...”
“Yama?” Fred repeats only to gasp after a moment. “Holy shit! I-Is that who you’ve been living with this whole time?” 
“I think the answer is obvious,” Hiro answers, pulling away and gesturing to his bloody nose.
“Oh my God.... Oh my God, Hiro I am so, so sorry,” Fred whispers, his voice full of horror. “I can’t believe-- I-I should have gotten you out of there a long, long time ago, but the curse...”
“Curse?” Hiro repeats in confusion. “What curse?”
“Apparently that’s what’s gotten us all here--a curse that took us from home and put us here, and gave us fake memories and made sure that we’d all be as miserable as possible. And it’s not just people from San Fransokyo, you won’t even believe who some of the people living in this town really are...” Fred answers before adding quickly, “But I can explain more on the way--all of our family and friends are back at my house, apparently my mom and Gogo’s parents have something to do with all of us getting wrapped up in this.”
“So everyone’s there?” Hiro asks hopefully. “Aunt Cass, Wasabi, Honey Lemon?” He’d have asked about Gogo too but Fred had already mentioned her so he could only assume that she was.
“Yes, everyone--even Mochi, can you believe that he’s actually Max?” Fred laughs. 
“Whoa... That is pretty crazy,” Hiro says, shaking his head, trying to wrap his head around the idea that Aunt Cass’ cat had somehow become a human child.
It was as he was thinking this over that another thought occurred to him. 
“Wait, Max...” he says slowly, and then gasps as the realization fully hits him. “Holy fuck, Baymax!”
“Hiro, I-I’m sorry, I don’t know where Baymax is yet, everyone coming out of the curse has everyone pretty scrambled up...” Fred starts to say apologetically, but Hiro cuts him off. 
“No! I mean, I think I know where Baymax is!” Hiro cries, tugging on Fred’s hand. “C’mon, we have to go get him!” 
“...The others can wait,” Fred after agrees after only a moment’s hesitation. “Let’s go get Baymax!”
A few minutes later, both of them rush into the hospital--things were in such a disarray that they didn’t even bother to stop at the nurse’s desk, Hiro leading the way up the stairs to the burn unit where he hoped that he’d find...
“Baymax!” Hiro lets out a huge sigh of relief when he sees the man in his standard white scrubs--it was still incredibly weird to think of the marshmallow-esque robot that Tadashi had made was somehow human, but all that really mattered that he was here and that he was safe. 
“Hiro!” The man turns to Hiro, a bright smile on his face, quickly putting to rest any fears that Hiro might have had that this wasn’t actually Baymax.
“Wait, that’s Baymax?” Fred cries in surprise.
“Fred, hello!” Baymax answers cheerfully, waving to him. 
“I... Uh... Hi?” Fred waves a bit awkwardly.
“I’m so glad that you’re okay,” Hiro says gratefully, hurrying into Baymax’s open arms and giving him a tight hug. 
“I am very well, thank you,” Baymax answers, hugging him back, before letting him go and continuing, “There is someone else here who would like to see you!”
“Someone else?” Hiro repeats in confusion. Who else could be here that he knew?
“Hiro!” 
That’s when Hiro hears a voice--a voice that, even before the curse, he’d given up on ever hearing again. No. No, it couldn’t possibly be--!
That’s when he sees Shiro, sitting in a wheelchair next to his hospital bed--the burn scars had greatly changed his appearance, it was true, and his hair was a bit longer than it had been before. But there was no mistaking those eyes, or that smile. 
“T-Tadashi?” Hiro whispers, tears welling up in his eyes before he could even fully process what was happening. “I-Is it really you?”
“It’s me,” Tadashi answers, looking a bit teary eyed himself, and, without even thinking about the consequences, Hiro launches himself at Tadashi, landing in his lap and wrapping his arms tightly around him, never wanting to let him go, only to find his hands wandering over Tadashi’s features--his arms, his hands, his face--trying to prove to himself that this was real, that Tadashi was really here with him. Tadashi was doing much the same, half laughing, half crying, stroking Hiro’s hair and kissing away the tears as they fell down his cheeks. 
“H-How?” Hiro whispers. “How are you here? “
“I don’t know,” Tadashi admits, shaking his head.”I-I don’t remember anything that happened to me after the fire... But I’m here, and I’m with you, and that’s all that matters.”
Hiro decides that questions can wait for later--all that mattered was that he had Tadashi back. 
“D-Dashi?”
Hiro suddenly remembers that he wasn’t the only one here who had a very good reason to be glad that Tadashi was alive.
“Fred?” Tadashi cries, looking up at Fred with what could only be described as joy in his eyes, and Hiro wisely chooses to move out of the way just in time to avoid being caught in the middle as Fred pulls Tadashi into a deep, passionate kiss. Maybe back in San Fransokyo his old self would have found this gross or made a joke out of it. But not anymore. This was something he’d been trying to get to happen for months, and it felt like his dream was finally coming true. Shiro and George--no, Fred and Tadashi!--were finally a couple, and maybe with this stupid curse gone, they could get married and adopt him so he could finally be away from Yama!
But wait. No, that wasn’t right! Hiro shakes his head. That was Niko’s dream, when he was stuck here, not Hiro’s dream! Hiro never would have dreamed of his older brother and his brother’s best friend getting married and adopting him! ...Would he have? More to the point, though: if a curse had somehow sent them here (and he couldn’t think of a more logical explanation at the moment), and it had indeed been broken--shouldn’t they be back in San Fransokyo? Shouldn’t they have gone back home?
Hiro feels a cold shiver pass through him. What exactly was going on here? And who would have the answers? 
“I have heard that there is a relief center being set up for those who are trying to find loved ones or who have questions about the curse,” Baymax pipes up, in the uncanny way that he had of almost reading Hiro’s thoughts. 
“Well, that sounds exactly like that place we should go,” Tadashi says, turning towards them, with Fred’s hand firmly wrapped around his own. 
“It does--maybe then we can bring some more information back to the others,” Fred agrees.
“Dashi, is it okay for you to leave the hospital, though?” Hiro asks a bit worriedly--he knew that Tadashi had been recovering, but he hadn’t left the hospital since being here!
“I can come with to monitor his condition,” Baymax offers.
“That would be great, thank you, Baymax.” Tadashi grins up at the other man.
“You are welcome!” Baymax replies, looking pleased to be of assistance. 
“Well... If Baymax is coming with us, then I guess it should be okay,” Hiro finally relents. 
“So, are we ready to go?” Tadashi asks, looking first to Fred and then to Hiro.
“Yeah,” Hiro agrees, taking Tadashi’s free hand as Fred continues to hold the other and Baymax begins pushing the chair forward. “I think we are.”
As long as he had his family and friends by his side, he was ready for whatever the future had in store for them.
((Random future story bit: The group running into Yama and Baymax giving him a good punch in the nose since Tadashi can’t stand to do it himself. “I no longer have programming, so I am no longer prevented from injuring a human being :)” (Protective Baymax is SCARY AF and also totally awesome!)))

June 8: The Man Trap
My mom and I started our long-overdue rewatch of Star Trek TOS (aka the best television show of all time) today so here are some liveblog-ish notes on 1x01 The Man Trap:
Kirk talking about Bones’s love life in his official log--so inappropriate. He’s such a gossip. I know this wasn’t intended to be the first televised ep but I love how he’s introduced being adorable and joking with his friend.
If Darnell thinks the young blonde woman is McCoy’s ex-girlfriend, he must assume that McCoy had a love affair with a literal child lol. Use your brain, boy. Darnell is who people who don’t like Kirk think Kirk is.
PLUM.
P L U M
Every single shot of Kirk is so romantic.
He knows all the regulations by heart. So far confirmed: gossip; romantic; nerd.
Oh no she ate Darnell.
Uhura is Certified Adorable.
Vulcan has no moon.
Spock is definitely undeniably worried that the killed crew member is Jim; I will not be taking criticism on this post. I feel so bad for him all the time. Everyone thinks he doesn’t feel but he Feels So Much. (This is going to be a comment on every single episode I can tell.)
Okay someone’s died so we’re done gossiping now.
They’re trying to figure out what happened to all the salt in Darnell’s body and I’m just like...... guys........ someone ATE the salt, obviously.
Everything Kirk says is flirty. “I’m not counting [your mistakes] Bones.” Certified bi because Shatner could not stop flirting.
“Stop thinking with your glands.” Lol.
It’s pretty hilarious that Yeoman Rand was eating Sulu’s food. And he didn’t notice.
That plant (Beauregard/Gertrude) is so obviously a hand in a puppet.
I find it so touching that Uhura wants to speak to someone in her native language. It doesn’t come up all that often but a lot of these people (arguably all of them, if you imagine as I do that “standard” and “English” are not synonymous) are not speaking their first languages most of the time.
Salt Monster McCoy!
They’re going into quarantine lol.
I get a lot of enjoyment watching Kirk and Spock run and hide and crawl among the sand and ruins.
I feel like Spock is getting way more distracted by the buffalo story than Kirk is.
I also get a lot of enjoyment out of the irony of this scene where everyone sits around talking about where the salt monster might be and she’s literally right there, discussing herself. Like I was also listening to the words, mostly, but I just was really tickled by the whole scenario.
That’s an interesting hypothesis FOR A SALT MONSTER.
I wonder how much stock to put into Kirk’s ideas about what Crater got out of his relationship with the salt creature. Is that just his opinion or is it supposed to be narratively true? Much to think about.
She ate Crater.... So much for needing love.
Spock goes absolutely feral every time Kirk is in danger. Every single time. Wild as hell.
You know I used to be moved by the buffalo comparison but now I think it's not really right. The buffalo are animals. The salt creature is more like a human. I assume they were the dominant life forms on the planet? The ones that built all the stuff?
This isn’t really a criticism of ST because I don’t do that but maybe it’s just easier for Crater, and Kirk et. al., to think about buffalo than to think about humans themselves dying out for lack of resources. If it’s hard to kill anything that’s the last of its kind, then it’s doubly hard to kill the last of a species that could have been humans themselves.
This story is really wild and it gets wilder the more you think about it. The archaeologist  wants to learn about a long dead civilization, except somehow one member of the civilization is still alive (not sure how since she needs so much salt) and she kills his wife and he's like 'okay I'll just marry the salt creature instead' and they just live together for a year.
I mean I guess another possibility is that the salt creatures weren't the ones who built the ruins and maintained the civilization, that they WERE like buffalo, but if this level of skill and intelligence is what their "animals" were like, then what could the "main" inhabitants have been? Like imagine Earth but everything is dead except one buffalo.
My mom and I were also wondering what happened to the salt. The whole planet looks very desolate. The ruins are big and occasionally ornate but also sparse--like there used to be a lot more. Maybe a totally different environment. Or possibly, the ruins are from an older civilization still, that did not overlap with the salt creatures. Alternately, they did overlap, in which case--what were the others like, to live with beings who can shapeshift, read minds, and hypnotize other beings. (Just immune?) Were they adversaries? Did they destroy each other?
The thing is there are many possibilities, because the planet is such an unknown. It doesn’t even have a real name. It’s quite a sad episode, really.

Millz
Here I was, sitting in my beautifully decorated living room watching the kids play with their toys while Darnell rambled on about her wedding when some loud banging on the front door fucked up everything up.
Going to the front door I peeked outside to see Nikki on my steps with Raven behind her. Two questions ran rapid through my mind, what the fuck did this bitch want and since when do these hoes know each other?
“Hell no, I know this bitch didn’t come to my front door with this bullshit.” I mumbled under my breath. I wanted to open the door and smack the bitch but I couldn’t do that. I already got into one fight pregnant I wasn’t about to get into another one. Neither one of these whores are worth my child’s life, plus I wasn’t about to have Trouble on my ass again.
“NuNu can you take them upstairs for me please, put them in the boys’ room they’ll be fine.” I said when I walked in the living room.
I wasn’t worried about leaving the kids upstairs alone because every room was baby proofed to the max, plus I got baby monitors all over this bitch; I hear everything.
NuNu got up and took the kids upstairs for me. Malachi was in his room asleep, I had just put him down ten minutes before this bitch came here with this shit. If she woke him up I was throwing something at that bitch’s head for real because his little ass can cry like no other.
“Who the fuck is that outside?” Darnell asked as she stood with her hands on her hips.
Before I could answer Trouble and the rest of suicide squad came running up the stairs from the basement.
“Why y’all barging in here like that?” GiGi questioned with a confused look on her face.
“Stay here,” Trouble said to me before going to the front door and opening it. I stood in the hallway to watch him go off on her ass but she wasn’t there, instead we heard yelling from outside.
“BACK THE FUCK UP!” I heard Kason shout. That’s when it clicked in my head that Imani went outside right after Kason did. I honestly forgot about those love sick niggas.
I guess it hit Darnell the same time it did me because we looked at each other then rushed to the front door. I went to go down the steps but Vick grabbed my arm stopping me. Haze, Xavier and Kason were on the sidewalk trying to separate Raven and Imani were both on the ground looking as if they had death grips on each other while Trouble was arguing with Nicki’s stupid ass.
They got Imani off of Raven and Kason carried her in the house, over his shoulder.
“I’m not leaving without my son!” Nicki shouted in Trouble’s face.
“I told your ass this morning I was bringing him to you tomorrow, why the fuck are you pulling up in front of my house with this bullshit!” He snapped back at her.  I could tell by the way he was clenching his jaw he was pissed off.
Out of nowhere he grabbed the bottom of her jaw and glared at her hard. “And you got the fuckin’ nerve to be drunk with this bullshit! FUCK YOU THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE HIM TO YOU DRUNK!” He yelled at her.
“I’m not drunk, go get my son!” Nicki yelled then pushed him. He grabbed her arms and pinned them down to her side but she broke away from him and started trying to fight his ass.
Xavier went over and pushed Nicki out of his face then stood between them.
“You on some bullshit, you aint getting him like this. Go sober the fuck up,” Trouble said to her then looked at Raven who was trying to fix her hair. I know her ass was pain because he jaw was still fucked up from me.  “And you got this simple bitch with you? Get the fuck outta here man,” He came up the stairs and once he got to me he grabbed my hand.
“HERE YOU GO PLAYING ME FOR THAT BITCH AGAIN!” Nicki shouted while glaring at me.
“Leave before we call the cops,” Darnell said and I looked over at her confused because nobody over here fucks with the police like that and she had her phone out recording Nicki.
“Fuck you and the police! TROUBLE GIVE ME MY SON!” Nicki shouted again making herself look crazier than what she already was.
“Go in the house,” Trouble said to me.
“DON’T SEND HER IN THE HOUSE! GET MY BABY SO I CAN GO BACK HOME TROUBLE!”
“I’m not giving you shit, go home!” He shouted back.
“You think you about to play house with my baby and this bitch? Fuck outta here! Fuck that bitch! You hear me ho, fuck you! You a side bitch and always will be a side bitch!”
“Damn side bitches get houses and shit?” I questioned then laughed. “You sound real upset ma, what’s wrong?”
“Fuck you bitch! I’ll send you with that pussy ass baby daddy of yours!”
That shit pissed me off and I wanted to go body slam that bitch but I couldn’t do it.
Darnell stopped recording then gave me her phone before she took off down the steps. As soon as her feet hit the sidewalk her fist went crashing into the side of Nicki’s face; I know the shit had impact because you could hear the moment Darnell’s fist collided into that girls face.
When that first hit landed Darnell used her left hand to grab a fist full of Nicki’s hair pulled her head down landed two bone cracking uppercuts then she started kneeing this bitch in her face.
Trouble tried to pull Darnell off Nicki but that shit wasn’t working at all so Xavier had to get into that shit and get Darnell off. All the while I was at the top of the steps laughing my ass off.
“I owed you one bitch!” Darnell shouted as Xavier pulled her ass in the house. She was pissing Raven on the way in and sent a hard right to the jaw making her fall to the ground crying and shit.
“Bring your ass on,” Xavier pulled her inside the house but we high fived before she went all the way in.
Nicki was over on the side crying and holding her face, I’m sure Darnell went and broke something with her heavy handed ass.
“Somebody gotta take them to the hospital,” Trouble said and I heard Vick suck his teeth on the side of me since he was still holding on to me.
“I’ll do it, tell Gi I’ll be back. “ Vick told me as he walked down my front steps. “Haze, follow me in my car so I can get back here.”
“I got you, tell NuNu for me Millz.” Haze said.
“Okay,” Trouble helped Raven and Nicki’s broken face having asses in the backseat of her car.
“Make sure they don’t talk to the police aight, do what you need to.” Trouble told them before coming up the stairs to me. “Come on,” he grabbed my hand pulling me back in the house. “Where the kids at?”
“Upstairs in the room; Malachi should still be asleep.”
“Alright, I’m going to check on them you chill out down here.” He kissed my forehead then went upstairs. I went back to the living and plopped down on the couch.
“Haze and Vick went to take Dummy and Dumber to the hospital they’ll be back.” I told GiGi and NuNu.
“What the fuck was all of that about?” GiGi asked.
“She was drunk and buggin’ out. Somebody had to put a battery in her back for her to pull that shit; she knew he was going back tomorrow. Now that shit is out, Trouble isn’t giving him to her ass.”
Nicki showing up here acting as if Trouble kidnapped the baby and was holding him hostage was bullshit. He spoke to her ass the morning after he took him from the house and told her he was keeping him for a little bit. She agreed and said fine so I don’t know why this bitch felt the need to do a pop up and I wanted to know how the fuck she got our address.
“Imani what happened outside?”
“When she started banging on the door Kason went over there and asked her what was she doing, she said some slick shit so I checked her. Then Raven, who can barely speak hopped in it getting in my face so I hit her and we started fighting. You all came out after that. When is anything going to smooth around here,”
“True, it’s always some shit popping up.” Darnell added in.
“Yeah,” I sat back in the chair thinking about everything that’s gone on since I’ve been back in Jersey.
A lot of things have happened and most of it was either because of me or had something to do with me. This baby mama drama wouldn’t be happening with Trouble if he didn’t leave Nicki for me. Darnell and Cameron wouldn’t have been shot if it wasn’t for Dro shooting at me.
I don’t know what the fuck it is about me that attracts this level of drama but at this point it’s draining me. This feeling right here is the exact thing that made me leave Jersey before. Everything that happened was having a heavy effect on me emotionally and physically so I left to get myself together and I did. Now it’s affecting the people I love and it’s not making me feel any better.  I don’t like feeling as if my family would be better off without me mixed in the equation.

Trouble
Walking into her closet I walked up behind Millz putting my arms around her waist while she folder some clothes. “Why are you in here folding the clothes?” I asked then kissed the back of her neck.
“I wanted to do it, there’s nothing else to do. The kids are asleep, and I want this done before Malachi decides he’s hungry and wakes up.” She answered. “I’m not gonna feel like doing it tomorrow.”
“I got him when he gets up; you just need to go sit down. You’ve been running around like crazy for the last two weeks. I let it slide because you wanted to hurry up and move in here but now you need to slow down.”
“I’m fine, just let me do this.”
“Nah you’re good, go sit down and chill.”
She sucked her teeth but dropped the clothes she had in her hands. When she was about to walk past me with an attitude I grabbed her arm stopping her.
“What’s wrong with you?” I could tell by the look on her face something was on her brain. Usually she would’ve said some smart shit but laughed it off. Now she all in her feelings and that’s not like her.
“Nothing is wrong with me; can I go sit down now?” She snapped at me.
“What the fuck is the problem Millz, because you snapping at me and shit like you’re stupid.”
“I don’t have a problem, I wanted to fold my damn clothes and that’s it. Now you mad because you don’t like the way I leave?”
“Fuck the clothes I’m talking about your muthafuckin’ attitude. I don’t know if you mad about earlier or what but I didn’t know that bitch was going to pop over here,”
“I know that, you think that bitch is on my brain right now?” Millz stopped then took a deep breath. “I’m going to take a shower, just leave it alone alright.”
“Mill-“
“Leave me alone Messiah,” She walked through the bedroom and was about head to the bathroom when she grabbed the door frame as her knees buckled  “Ahh!” she screamed in pain. I rushed over to her grabbing her arm.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
“My stomach hurts!” She cried in pain. Pulling my phone from my pocket I dialed Vick’s number since he’d just left with Gi ten minutes ago.
“Did I leave anything over there? I just left nigga,” he said when he left.
“I need you to come back to the house and watch the kids, I’m about to take Millz to the hospital?”
“What the fuck happened that fast?”
‘I don’t know but she in here crying talking about her stomach hurts, just get here man,”
“I’ll be there in five minutes,” He said then I hung up.
I stuffed my phone back in my pocket then picked Millz up off of her feet. She wrapped my arms around my neck holding squeezing me as tight as she could all the while crying her eyes out. I sat on the edge of the bed cradling her in my lap while she cried into my chest.
“I don’t wanna lose my baby,” she said through her tears. I took a deep breath trying to fight the tears that wanted to fall down my face. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, not just for our baby but for her too. I couldn’t let her see me crying though; it would only scare her more if she saw that I was worried too.
“You’re not gonna lose him aight, both of you are going to be fine,” I kissed her temple tightening my grip on her a little bit.
When I heard knocks on my front door I got up with Millz in my arms and carried her downstairs. I got the door unlocked and Gi was standing there looking anxious.
“Is she okay?”
“We’re about to go see,”
“Vick has the car running go ahead, I got the kids. I called the hospital they’ll be outside waiting for you.”
“Thanks Gi,” I rushed out the door and over to Vick’s truck that already had the back seat door open. I climbed in with Millz and he pulled off as soon as I shut the door.
When we pulled up to the entrance of the emergency room there was about two nurses and a doctor standing there with a gurney. I opened the back door and the nurses took her out of my arms, put her down then rushed her inside the hospital.
Vick parked the car then we went inside and went straight to the waiting room. I sat there with my head in my hands trying to figure out what could’ve gone wrong tonight. She was fine, she wasn’t even mad when that Nicki shit happened or at least I didn’t think so.
Millz isn’t exactly the type to hide when she’s pissed off, the only time she hides what’s going in that head of hers is when her damn feelings are hurt. Instead of just telling me what’s wrong with her, she’ll hold it in like letting it out is going to kill her ass or something.
I thought about calling Darnell and everybody to tell them what was going on but I didn’t feel like explaining shit to anybody. I wanted to focus on this, not worrying about who knows what.
An hour went by before a nurse finally came over to me and told I could go to the room they had her in. When I walked in she was sitting up with her eyes closed. When the door closed behind me she opened her eyes.
Walking over to her I kissed her cheek. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m better but they haven’t told me anything yet, have they told you something?”
“No, she just told me I was able to come back here. Move over,” she scooted over some and I climbed in the bed with her putting my arms around her. “I’m sure everything is good, don’t think negatively.”
“I’m trying not to but it’s hard. I’m tired of everything bad happening to me and the people I love. It’s like nothing can go right for me, it’s always something going wrong.”
“All that shit with that nigga Manolo and whoever else is a done deal. This shit with Nicki is about to be a wrap because with how she acted tonight I’m definitely going for full custody. If she decides to play with me I’ll make it so she won’t even be able to see him period.”
I tried being peaceful with Nicki, I tried to do the whole co-parenting thing with her but she went too far tonight. I’m not about to let this shit slide and wait for her to come back and do something worse. It’s clear she’s not working with a full deck and I’m not about to play with her.
“You’re going to get custody of Karma, have our son and we’re going to be good alright.” She nodded then put her head on my chest.
“How do you know it’s a boy? It could be a girl,”
“I just got a feeling it’s a boy, I don’t mind either way but I know I’m right.”
“It’s already three of them, I refuse to be outnumbered.”
“You said that shit like kids are terrorists or something.”
“Well,”
“Stop,” we both laughed just as the doctor was coming in.
“Glad to see you two in good spirits.” The doctor said getting our attention.
“Something like that; so how is she?”
“Well she and the baby are fine now, but she has to keep her stress levels down. This is the second time you’ve been admitted to the hospital in a month’s time and this time was worse than the last.” He said and I nodded.
“So what do you suggest we do doc?”
“I’m prescribing that she stays on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy.”
“What? I can’t do that, I have three well shit four kids, a business to run and one in the making. I can’t be on bed rest.” Millz ranted.
“You can and you will,” I told her. “Don’t worry about it doctor I’ll make sure she stays put.”
“Good, here’s a list of food she needs to stay away from. We don’t want anything making her blood pressure go up so no fatty foods, no sweets, no-“
“So I’m basically supposed to eat like a bird.”
I took the list from the doctor then shook his hand. “Thank you, I’ll make sure she follows all of your instructions. When can she go home?”
“We’re going to keep her overnight just to make sure she and the baby is okay but she should be able to go first thing in the morning. You two have a good night.” He said then walked out.
“How the hell am I supposed to survive on bed rest?” Millz looked up at me and asked.
“I don’t know but you’ll be alright. We’ll figure it out.” I don’t know how the fuck am I supposed to keep Millz’ stubborn, hard headed ass in a bed for the next five months. I’m definitely going to figure it out though, she’s sitting her ass down no matter what.

Haunt
I absolutely adore how devoted you guys are to this story, honestly! I hope this upload doesn’t disappoint because frankly, I’m not the biggest fan of it. Also, I’m thinking of editing a trailer sort of video for this story and just wanted to see if any of you guys would be interested?
Masterlist – Plot: Zendaya’s now more confused than ever.
Haunt (Chapter Thirteen)     
For a lack of a better word, Zendaya was screwed.
She hadn’t kissed anyone in a few months and she wasn’t ashamed to admit to herself that she missed it. She missed the intimate sensation that kissing seemed to ignite within her. She’d always been one for foreplay, greatly turned on by the lengthy make-out sessions. And as soon as Tom’s mouth met hers, Zendaya was hopeless. She was transported back to a less problematic time. It was like all her current day thoughts had switched off; the only thing on her mind was Tom. There was something so nostalgic and pleasant about kissing him that she couldn’t stop. She was in shock, of course, but she didn’t let him see it. She couldn’t stop whimpering, her brain not fully comprehending the fact that Tom Holland was kissing her again.
His eyes were closed as he held her head in place, his tongue trying to force her mouth open. Zendaya’s heart, strangely, was telling her to open up and let him inside; give into him. Her brain, on the other hand, was telling her to think about the consequences of her actions.
She went with the first, following her heart and reciprocating his kiss.
His lips were slightly chapped but still as comforting and as heat evoking as ever and once Tom realised that Zendaya was kissing him back, his vigour increased. His tongue forced its way out of his mouth, pushing through the barriers of Zendaya’s lips before he was exploring every inch of her mouth. She tasted better than he remembered, and he couldn’t prevent the growl that emanated from the back of his throat; raspy and primal. He pressed the entirety of his body against hers, her lips humming against his as their chests met. Her arousal was slowly starting to build, her mind clouded by her now insatiable libido.
Tom took these soft whimpers of Zendaya’s soft as encouragement, the smile tugging onto his lips as he pulled away momentarily. Blinded by her progressive lust, Zendaya pouted as Tom let her up for air, only for her mouth to fall into a groan as he continued his oral assault down her neck. Unintentionally, her body rocked against his and Tom let out his own groan against the slightly clammy skin of her collarbone. His hands trailed down her body as he did so, he edged down to the hem of her trousers. The rational part of Zendaya knew this was moving too quickly, but it had been almost six weeks and she hadn’t realised how desperate in need she was for a man’s touch. Tom grabbed at her thighs and hiked her body up onto his, her legs circling his waist so that she possessed some form of balance.
“Tom-“ Their new position meant that Tom’s growing erection was pressing at Zendaya’s core and unlike all the other times since their reunion, Zendaya wasn’t saying his name in anger or disgust - she was moaning it.
In that one moment, Tom didn’t think he’d ever seen or heard anything or anyone more beautiful. This unbelievably gorgeous woman was moaning for him, her voice cracked and enticing. Her hair was frazzled, and wind swept, and her eyes were closed, rolling into the back of her head as she let him pleasure her with his tongue. He left love bite after love bite against her skin, almost branding her as his own.
“Fuck, Z.” Tom propped her body higher against him and consequently, their bodies grinded against one another yet again. Her body was driving him wild and he wanting to do nothing more than take her up against the wall. “I want you.”
Ashamedly enough, Zendaya wanted him too. The anger and frustration she’d been feeling as they fought was charging through her body and she wanted him to touch her like he once had – both tender and aggressive all at once.  But before Zendaya could even respond to Tom’s comment, loud yelling could be heard from deeper in the penthouse. At first, Tom ignored it, pinning it to be Sam and Harry and their usual antiques. He diverted his attention back to a now surprising looking Zendaya. Her eyes seemed far away, deep in thought, and her whole-body language had changed, despite her still having her legs around Tom’s waist. The disruption from outside had allowed her to gather her bearings – to realise that she had been seconds away from getting into bed with Tom after hating him for so long. It had only taken a second for her to seemingly start second guessing herself and everything that had just happened, and Tom tried to lean back in for a kiss. He wanted to remind her that they were good together. The less she thought, the easier their relationship became.
However, this venture was disrupted by even more loud noises; noises out the ordinary for even his crazy family. The smarter, more agile and skilled part of Tom, placed Zendaya back on her feet and went to investigate the ruckus, Zendaya hot on his heels. With Harrison possibly tracking their every move, at times like these, he needed to think with his head and not his dick. Vowing to himself he would have his way with Zendaya sooner or later, Tom made sure his gun was strapped to him before following the noise.
“I’m not leaving without her-”
“Look, Darnell, we mean no harm-“
“Like fuck you don’t.” As Tom rounded the corner into his living room, he spotted Darnell with his arms crossed against his chest, his face inches away from his brother’s. Harry was trying to keep his calm, but it didn’t seem to translate to a clearly angry Darnell. This image of Darnell was a shock to Tom. This was no longer the teenage boy that was just friends with his girl.
“Darnell, let us explain.“ Tom rolled up his sleeves, straightened out his posture and attempted to act as the middle man in the situation. He wanted to calm everyone down and explain as much as he could to Darnell in regards to Zendaya’s safety. However, as soon as Darnell spotted Tom, all hell broke loose. He stepped away from Harry only to let his fist slam straight into Tom’s nose.
“Darnell!” Zendaya shrieked, grabbing her friend by the shoulder. The room went quiet as the smack echoed, Zendaya’s mouth dropping open in disbelief.
“You don’t get to explain shit.” Darnell pointed an accusing finger at Tom who was moping at the blood on his face with his hand.  “Come on, Zendaya, we’re going home.”
Now that her and Tom had kissed, Zendaya’s emotions were wreaking havoc within her and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to comfort Tom whilst he was hurt or thank Darnell for punching him. She was as confused as ever, and she saw Darnell – once again – as her saviour. His arrival couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. Going home meant getting some space and getting some space meant time to think on her own. She wouldn’t be frivolously jumping into Tom’s bed or fighting with him; she’d have a clear head to think about everything that had happened in a place that she was comfortable.
“I can’t let you do that.” Tom, despite profusely bleeding out his nose, squared his shoulders and met Zendaya’s gaze with an intensity that made her insides melt. “She stays here.”
“I don’t know what your problem is but she’s a grown ass woman who can do what she likes.” Darnell retaliated, his eyes also boring into Zendaya.
“And she wants to stay here, right?” Tom narrowed his eyes at her, his gaze both hopeful and stern. They had had a countless number of talks about her safety and he wanted her to take his authoritativeness seriously, especially after the shooting. There was also a little part of him that hoped the moment they had shared in his bedroom would convince her to stay.
“I’m going home.” After a pregnant pause, Zendaya spoke up again and Tom was quick to say no.
“You can’t-“
“I think she should go home.” Sam, who had been quiet since Darnell had made his loud arrival, spoke up suddenly. “It’s okay, Z, you don’t have to stay here if you don’t want to.”
“Shut up, Sam!” Both Harry and Tom spoke at the same time, their in-sync voices almost comedic. Tom scowled at his brother, silently threatening to give him a piece of his mind once all of this blew over.
“Thank you, Sam.” Zendaya cupped Sam’s cheek for a fraction of a second before heading towards the door with Darnell. As Tom stepped forward to stop them, Sam grabbed his bicep, halting his actions completely.
“Give her some space.” He whispered to his older fuming brother. “She’s had an intense day and maybe spending some time in her own apartment will make her feel better.” Before Tom could interject with a comment about her safety, Sam beat him to it. “I have Jon following her. Him and some of the others will be stationed at her place. Give her time to cool off and then we can go talk to her tomorrow.”
“I think he might be right, bro.” Harry smacked Tom’s back in that boy-ish manner to offer him some comfort. “You know Jon won’t let anything happen to her.”
“Besides, we still need to have a conversation about Trevor Jackson.”
“What about him?” And suddenly, Tom’s attention was snatched away from Zendaya as she walked wordlessly out his front door.
