DO THE THING
OH BOY THAT MANY LETS SEE
First of all im still salty how Ushio just keeps popping everywhere, every show I watch, every book I read, every game.. There's neverending amount of small and bigger AUs solely because this man does not know when to not exist, when to leave me alone! He's like special interest through which I look at life and process everything!
SHIT ACTUALLY.. HE IS
I also have this tiny DL2 AU where I meet him for first time in Villedor and he just helps me for no good reason (he def has crush) and we just parkour all days but not nights bc I hate dark zones and night time as he'd accidentally learn. I just make him protagonist of any game I watch bc I want him to be hot badass.
I'm always bit surprised how he sounds in canon it's much more rough and scratchy idk how to explain but in my head he sounds deeper and different. Maybe its just bc he sounded more mean and like idk evil so maybe im just imagining his voice as it sounds in ep 154? He sounds so ❤❤❤❤ there ya know? He doesn't sound unhinged as he does in beginning.
God I really need to list all eps he appears in for when I need to see him but dont have energy for 5ds rewatch as whole series (last time i tried i got to ep 20 lol).
The coat over shoulder thing he does in s2 is soo attractive ❤❤ but as corpse party game veteran it also just reminds me of kizami and makes me annoyed bc i hate the guy.
Wish they'd made his signature color yellow instead of gray and white bc his scarf in early eps no one else had it so it must've been his! Why he wears it anyway? I always imagine him to be rly warm naturally but maybe he wanted to stand out? Have something that makes him individual? I just have the scarf be iconic item for him in my mind and i actually own yellow scarf bc it reminds me of him and I playfully think he bought it for me ❤

Tumblr media
you and peter worked in different areas of stark industries. you only knew him as mr. stark’s intern and briefly saw him in your peripherals as he passed by the medical labs on his way to mr. stark’s office. you didn’t pay him much mind, as you were often too busy with your own tasks such as experimenting with the limited alien tech your team was provided. but, occasionally during lunch, when sitting with your peers in the mess hall you would catch him sitting alone, eating a sandwich from delmar’s and staring at you. you would give him a small smile and he would blush and look away, and sure you found it cute but that's all. he probably just had a harmless little crush.
it was a thursday evening, a little past clock out time when mr. stark himself strolled into your lab. when you looked up, you found that it was more than a few minutes past five and nearing 7pm. surely, he was here to scold you for staying so late.
“dr. stark! i am so sorry, i didn’t even realize how late it was--” you start, heat rising on your cheeks.
“dr. stark… that’s different,” he interrupts, “appreciated, but just call me tony.”
you nod, “of course….tony…. again, i apologize--”
and he shakes his head and waves his hand as a dismissal, “totally fine, you’re not in trouble. in fact, i do admire the work ethic… shows you’re passionate about this stuff. but anyway, i’ve got a date in about…” he checks his watch and grimaces, “15 minutes ago, and my partner is going to kill me. i came by to formally request your presence in my lab and help my assistant out with this project we’re working on. shouldn’t take long, we had a long awaited breakthrough this morning.”
your heart definitely leaped in your throat at this, the excitement and the nervousness pairing into a wonderful couple that left you speechless. tony stark wanted you to work in his lab! how amazing was that? and you guess you were speechless for a little too long, because the man whistled as if trying to capture your attention.
“errr.. i know, huuuge deal, yeah. but i’ve uh, heard good things about you y/n, my assistant thinks highly of you and i trust him, so...” he shrugs. “interested?”
and at this you nod frantically, hoping it doesn’t come off as too frantic, “yes! yes, of course! i would love to.”
“cool, cool. i’m gonna head out, friday will lead you to the lab, see ya!” he says, already out the door when you can mutter to yourself:
“who the hell is friday?”
-
with the help of the kind ai, you make your way to the lab in a secluded area of stark tower. upon entering, you see a figure hovered over a desk full of papers and slowly make your way to them.
“hi! you must be mr. stark’s assistant, im--”
“y/n,” he finishes for you. when he stands from his hovered position and faces you, you’re pleasantly surprised.
it’s just:
“peter,” you greet, “intern turned assistant,” and he nods, visibly swallowing. and if you weren’t so busy realizing how attractive he actually was, you would have noticed how he nearly broke the pencil in his hand while he was clenching his fists.
“i uh--” he starts off quietly, “i didn’t realize you.. you knew my n-name…” he stammers, unable to stop staring at the browns of your eyes.
you laugh breathlessly and look away, “and i didn’t realize you knew mine,” you counter playfully, placing your bag on the ground and taking in the desk of papers. “but yeah, i mean-- you’re kind of a big deal around here.” you turn away from the desk and roam your eyes across the vast lab space, “tony stark’s assistant and all.”
he nods, “y-yeah… i guess so,” watching your figure as you turned away from him… you had such a nice body. he didn’t get to see you from behind often, mostly just your face… and occasionally your breasts when you wore a form fitting top. but your backside just made him ache all over... as if you couldn’t be anymore perfect. he finds himself biting the inside of his lip to the point where he nips himself, blood coating his tongue. you were so close to him… he could-- he could smell you, and your sweetness from up close. your perfume, hints of your body lotion, and whatever sweet-scented products you put in your passion twists. he could only imagine the euphoria he would experience if he had the pleasure of burying his face in your neck. to just—
snap.
the breaking of the pencil shakes you both out of your reveries, he shoves the broken pencil in his pocket and clears his throat. “let’s… let’s get t-to work.”
you find that peter speaks quietly, so you have to sit close to him to fully hear what he’s saying. if you were still suspecting a crush, you were sure of it now. and it’s not as if he was bad looking, so you bat your eyelashes, bite your lip when he speaks directly to you, brush your hand against his when pointing at a distinct design. but, time seems to pass slowly and you decide what mr. stark and peter do in this lab is not as exciting as you thought. your innocent flirtations truly become innocent flirtations as the week’s stress caught up to you. usually at this time, you were home, curled up on your couch while catching up on your favorite show. so when peter leaves for a water break, you do your best to fight back yawns as your eyes become heavily lidded before you slip into a peaceful nap.
peter comes back quietly after asking friday what you were doing; she kindly supplied that you had shut your eyes for a moment. peter swallows when he sees your sleeping figure, silently grateful for the opportunity to stare at you unabashedly. your dark brown skin, long eye lashes, lips pouting as you slept. you had taken off your sweater and shoved it in your bag earlier, better exposing the swell of your breasts fighting the material of your tight blouse… they look so soft… he swallows again, fighting against the urge to touch you while you were unconscious. that… would be wrong.
so instead, he touches himself.
he’s thankful for the desk that hid his hardon these past few hours, from the moment he had laid eyes on you tonight, pre cum had been leaking in his briefs.
he takes the seat next to you; slowly and quietly unzips his pants.. watching you as you exhale through your lips, as your chest rises and descends. he palms himself through his briefs and hisses through his teeth, jaw clenching uncomfortably. you look… so adorable. he cannot wrap his head around it, how effortlessly you do it.
he pulls himself out of his underwear and his flushed, leaking cock pulsates in his grip. slowly, he strokes himself trying to savor the moment, knowing that he probably will never get this opportunity again. he’s touched himself to the thought of you before, he imagines the smiles you give him during lunch, your hunched over position when he walks past your lab. he imagines you watching him— as he touches himself, telling him he’s doing a good job, telling him to speed up— to slow down.
you sniff in your sleep, and god, you’re so damn cute. he bites the inside of his lip again, already healed from the previous cut and tries to stifle his moans, he needs to make this last so he can imprint this memory in his mind forever. his cock is so sensitive, every stroke making his toes curl. it’s getting hot and— and overwhelming, he quickly undoes his tie and unbuttons the first few buttons of his dress shirt as sweat starts to bead on his forehead. you always had this effect on him, making his heart accelerate to dangerous speeds when you simply just look his way. his head was starting to spin now, eyes becoming heavy lidded, breath becoming labored. he tilts his head back, hoping for some air as his eyes roll to the back of his head, his fist tighter around his cock as he picks up the pace.
the pleasure is almost too much.
he hears you groan, and his eyes make their way to your pretty face once more, noticing that you’re starting to wake up. he should stop. he should definitely stop, but he really can’t bring himself to. he finds himself entranced by the way you awaken. the confusion on your face, the pout on your lips, the way you try to wipe the exhaustion away with the back of your hand. you don’t notice him at first, but when you do, you freeze. body tensing as you come face to face with peter parker’s massive dick.
you never expected him to be so well-endowed.
later, you will blame the remnants of sleep tugging at your willpower when you ask yourself why it took you so long to look away, why you found yourself getting aroused by just the sight of it. but, as reality catches up, you’re filled with disgust and a bit of shock when you realize that peter was just jacking off to your sleeping form.
“it’s not what it looks like,” he explains, “i’m not--, i wasn’t going to--”
“and you’re still touching yourself,” you murmur, struck with a strange sense of wonder. peter was…. odd.
a small whimper emits from his mouth and you want to hate the way your body responds to that, “i don’t have any bad intentions,” he tries, “you’re just so beautiful.. i- i couldn’t help myself.”
and so here you are, watching peter parker pant and whimper while he jerks his massive cock to the mere sight of you. and truthfully, you’ve never seen anyone look at you the way peter has, filled with pure adoration and wonder.
this could be fun.
you stand then, and slowly make your way over to his trembling form and when you reach him, you press your hand against the wall behind him, effectively caging him. he watches you, as your brown eyes bore into his, and you’re so close… he can smell your perfume, hints of your body lotion, and whatever sweet-scented products you put in your passion twists and… your arousal… his mind clouds as he takes it in, his jaw clenches as his mouth waters… you were just so damned perfect. his eyes rake over your face, your body… you’re so close, he could just--
he grabs your hand in his, placing it on the reddened tip of his cock, and squeaks out a moan. you feel better than he could have imagined. his fantasies never last this long, your beauty and small smiles are always enough to get him through his lonely nights. “p-please,” he pants, guiding your hand to stroke his cock.
after pushing away your initial shock, you do stroke him, but you are not gentle. tugging roughly at his sensitive cock, you chuckle at the tenseness it brings about in his body. “come on,” you husk, your lips hovering over his. “let me hear you,” and hear him you do as the gates open. he moans, he whimpers, he growls, and he hiccups; each sound arousing you further and further. you watch him as he nears his release, the way his jaw slackens, the way his eyes roll back, the way his head tilts forward—his forehead pressing against your cheek, the choked off moans and whimpers that fall from his red bitten lips shamelessly. “you like that?” you taunt, flicking your thumb painfully over his tip. after that, it doesn’t take long for him to cum, the white ropes are seemingly never ending as you continue to stroke him to the point of over stimulation. it’s the least you could do. after all, he was jacking off to you while you were sleeping; he deserved to be punished, at least a little.
his orgasm lets his entire body snap, like a rubber band. the over stimulation making him squeeze his eyes shut tight and his toes curl. he is completely at your mercy, and knows that he would let you do whatever you wanted, all he can do is beg. your hand feels glorious on him, to be trapped under you like this is a dream surpassed. he feels giddy knowing that you’re sharing the same air and that he’s panting onto your lips. he’s never been so close to you before and for reasons other than his orgasm, it’s making his head spin. he feels as if he’s slipping, losing control especially as you continue to stroke his spent cock, his begging falling on deaf ears. but, as he opens his eyes, to maybe plea with them, he sees you’ve moved even closer, and your lips are right there--
and he kisses you, so strongly and passionately that your grip on his dick falters. his kiss takes you by surprise and what he lacks in finesse he makes up with enthusiasm, a weak arm wrapping around you and bringing you to straddle his lap. and you moan then because, all of this has you really fucking turned on. hearing your sweet sounds spur peter and his kisses. you taste even better than he imagined and your kisses were so sweet, hearing you moan was enough to get his dick to twitch weakly under your skirt. his other hand comes to your hair, gripping your twists, and causing you to moan again.
forcibly, you push yourself away and rest your head on his shoulder, breathing heavily. your hand trails from his neck to his bare chest stopping at his waist. you raise your head to find that peter is already watching you, the same look of pure adoration and wonder in his eyes. slowly, you bring your soiled hand to his lips and without prompt, his tongue flicks out to lick at his cum. his eyes are heavy lidded as he sucks your digits into his mouth, and you can’t help but get further aroused at his ministrations. so aroused that you pull your hand away and plant your lips against his once more. this kiss slower and deeper than the last, you taking the lead. you taste his sex on his tongue and find that he tastes pretty good… better than what you’ve experienced before.
while you let him explore your mouth, peter decides that he wants to taste every single crevice of yours, to see if there are variations of how sweet you taste. he wonders if your neck tastes as good as it smells, if your breasts taste as good as look. and your arousal, with the way he is heady on your most carnal scent now, he wonders if he could truly get drunk off of tasting you in your most private area.
you give him one last kiss before pulling away entirely, appreciating the daze you had left him in. his eyes are unfocused as they meet yours and he pants heavily while his hands tighten around the spot they’ve found on your waist. “this was fun,” you sigh, running your hands through his soft brown curls, then find yourself gently kissing him again. mostly because you love the way he is looking at you, “you should clean yourself up. i’m gonna head home,” you say as you get off him, your legs only shaking slightly. you bend over to grab your stuff, fully aware that peter is checking you out, and make sure your hips sway a bit more as you make your way to the exit, “ill see you tomorrow, peter.”
-
on your way home, you can’t really understand why the hell you didn’t just slap the shit out of peter and leave the minute you caught him jerking off to you. and as creepy as it was… ugh, you couldn’t help but feel a bit flattered? that was bad, right? liking the feeling of being objectified… as a black woman nonetheless. you shook your head and sighed, hopefully you could sleep this off and wake up with a sound mind tomorrow morning.

Regained Passion -Harry Hook x reader - part 1 - The dance studio
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
=
-canon deviant, after D2; Ben invites more vks over, including Harry and Gil-
Harry huffed in frustration as he forced himself to walk to the dance studio building, FG had made the newest set of VKs go to counselors and his had decided he needed something to burn off his energy, but it couldn’t be sword fighting or tourney as it ‘amplified his violent tendencies’ and he needed ‘a calm environment that tempered him’
“Dumb counselor, dumb FG, dumb dance class” he muttered to himself, shrugging the duffel back on his shoulder to sit correctly as it slid from its spot slightly. The studio was just off campus, being connected to a huge auditorium that had a large stage for their dancers to…well dance.
He stopped in front of the building, grimacing up at the sign that hung off the front of the building “Esmerelda's dance hall” he read, sighing he looked back down at his clothes.
Evie had signed herself up to make some new clothes for him to dance in, and at the moment he was in a flowy white t-shirt, slightly baggy black sweatpants, and wearing his new converse. (he had a feeling he would have to change out of them though) “Let's get this over with” he muttered, walking up the steps and into the building.
He stepped through the doors and looked around, to the left was a reception desk, at least that’s what it looked like, and to the right was a café looking room, with vending machines and a mini kitchen. “Hello! Welcome to Esmerelda's dance hall! Are you a new student?” Harry turned back to look at the desk, now a middle-aged blonde woman sat in the chair behind it, a kind smile on her face.
“I guess” Harry muttered, walking up to the desk and handing her the paper the consular had given him to give to ‘Ms. Smith’ and the woman behind the desks nameplate read ‘Mira Smith’ so he guessed she was the person who he had to give the paper too. “I was told ta give this ta yeh” Mira nodded and took the paper, humming to herself and typing on her computer.
“Yep, got you right here, Harry Hook. You’ll be starting out in the beginners class for teens since we assumed you had no prior dance experience” Harry quirked his brow. He had dance experience just…not the type they did in this school probably. “The school is paying for your classes so you won't have to worry about any payments, follow me!” Mira stood and walked out from behind the desk, leading Harry down the long hallway of doors, each having a number and letter on the wood.
“Your classes, for now, will take place in D-A, with Mr. Bert. Hes our beginner teacher, all our students love him, they say he makes everything very fun and entertaining” Harry didn’t respond, looking at the walls and through the small windows to the rooms. “Well, here you are! Have fun Harry” Mira opened the door and gestured inside, where a good group of teens his age stood, all getting ready for the class. Some were stretching while others just talked to their friends.
Harry stepped through the door, pressing his lips together as some of the teens turned to look at him, brows raising bit. He could recognize some of them from Auradon prep. Harry held down a flinch as a hand clamped on his shoulder “You must be Harry, eh?!” Harry turned to look, seeing a kind-looking man with black hair and blue eyes, a smile on his face.
Harry wasn’t one to trust someone as soon as he saw them but this man just had odd energy that Harry felt like he could trust. Harry felt himself relax and nodded to the man, who held out his hand to Harry. “I’m Bert!” Bert had an odd Boston accent, which again, made Harry feel oddly safe. Harry shook his hand, yelping quietly as Burt pulled him into the group of teens “Now, grab a pair of those black ballet shoes, don’t worry they’re new and ya get ta keep ‘em, and get em all tied up on ya’, and the same ta’ the rest of ya’! get all ready and stretch!” Bert released Harry's hand and walked around the room, helping some of the younger teens stretch and put their shoes on.
Harry looked for his size in the shoes and found one pair left ‘how convenient’ he thought, grabbing the pair and moving over to the wall that had only one other teen sitting against it. He took off his bag and slid down the wall, taking off his converse and replacing it with the ballet shoes.
As Harry got his shoes changed, Bert announced to the new students that had also joined that day; that beginner classes were only an hour-long, and there was no lesson plan, for now, it was learning basics and just having fun with dance. He also said he would teach them to dance along to a song called ‘step in time’. But first, stretching.
Harry mindlessly followed along with the instruction; Harry didn’t want to be here in the first place so he didn’t really feel like trying. “uh, Harry?” Harry looked up, seeing Bert staring wide-eyed at him “have ya ever had any previous dance experience? Gymnastics even?” Harry shook his head, not knowing why Bert was asking “You’re about a half-foot away from a full side split” Harry looked down, raising his brows in slight shock.
It was true, Harry's legs were almost horizontal from his hips “well would yeh look at tha’” Harry muttered, leaning forward a bit, hearing some of the girls of the class gasp in slight jealously.
“How the heck is he doing that! I've been doing gymnastics since I was two and I can't even do that!” a black girl with Bantu knots whispered to her friend, who started starry-eyed at Harry.
“I know… it’s kinda hot” the friend whispered back, laughing slightly as the first girl gently tugged at her hair “I’m sorry it is!” the first girl smirked and smacked the second's thigh.
“You are such a simp” she chortled turning her attention back to Bert and Harry, to which Bert was testing Harry's flexibility, to Harry's slight embarrassment.
“Do you feel any pain like that?” Harry looked down at his almost full side spit and shook his head, he didn’t even realize he had done it. “Could you try to do a full one?” Harry stared at Bert for a moment then shrugged, spreading his legs further and now sitting in a full side split “Well butter my britches” Bert laughed, rubbing his head “and they told me ya were a full on beginner!”
Harry sniffed and moved his legs back into a normal position, now sitting cross-legged as Bert patted his head and went back to stand in the front of the group, clapping his hands to gain his attention “Alright! Now let's start with the basics!”
-
If Harry had been taking the class willingly? He would have enjoyed it wholeheartedly because Mira was right; Bert did make the class very fun. But due to Harry being forced to take the class, he had hated every second. Bert had seemed to realize Harry wasn’t into it and left harry alone most of the time, but he still checked on him during the hour of class.
“Remember to grab the schedule on your way out! Class is same time same place tomorrow! Have a good day!” Harry finished tying up his shoes and stood, shuffling his new dance shoes into his bag, and made his way out of the class, giving a halfhearted finger wave to Bert as he walked out.
He walked behind his class, not wanting to mingle with any of them. He stopped, looking to his right as he noticed an open door. He blinked in slight surprise, inside was a whole group, much more experienced than his class, practicing what seemed to be ballet, the girls wearing shoes that allowed them to stand on their toes.
His eyes locked onto a particular girl, wearing a light blue leotard and an even lighter blue sheer skirt that almost looked silver.  Her skirt flared as she performed a set of spins, her head almost sticking to one spot as she did.
Harry had never seen ballet before, at least in person, so he stood slightly mesmerized as she danced, she stopped her spin and moved gradually on her toes, moving about the room in a way that Harry could only describe as ‘flowing water’. The girl turned once more, bright (e/c) eyes locking with his.
Harry felt his breath hitch as a sudden rush of butterflies erupted in his gut, flying about his body and filling his mind. ‘wha-‘ Harry mentally stuttered, taking a step back from the class as he felt his face heat up. The girl still had her eyes on him, but they were filled with slight confusion and interest. ‘I-I I have to go’ Harry turned and ran for the exit, not noticing the girl's classmates walk over to the door and look after him, some of them giggling to themselves.
-
“Oh he’s pretty!” “Think he’s a new student?”
“Oh def, did you see his outfit!? Besides, I heard that Mr. Bert got a new student today from Auradon prep, I think that was him”
“(y/n), do you recognize him?” Anita Beaucop turned to you from the door, she wasn’t from Auradon prep so she couldn’t have known who Harry was.
“Yes,” you mumbled, resting against one of the beams against the wall. “Harry Hook, one of the new villain kids, Chad calls him a filthy pirate” Anita rolled her eyes and sauntered over to you, grabbing a water bottle from her bag and cracking it open.
“Well,” Anita huffed, her French accent strong as usual “your brother is an asshole, both of us know not to trust him, if Chad doesn’t like Harry, then you should make friends, piss him off and all that” you giggled at that, covering your mouth as Emma, another one of your class friends who didn’t go to Auradon prep, leaned into your space, her eyes drifting back toward the door.
“Do you know If Harry's single?” she purred, her smirk dropping as you shrugged.
“I don’t know, he hangs around Uma a lot, and from what I see he seems really into her” Emma pouted, and crossed her arms.
“I got no shot with that hunk then, Uma’s hot as fuck.” the entire room agreed, including Javis and Saki in the corner of the room, who were both very much into men. “See, even Javis agrees!”
“Just because I don’t like anything on the menu doesn’t mean I can’t apricate it” Javis snorted, downing a granola bar as he did a small stretch session. You snorted and rolled your eyes, fixing your skirt and getting back into the starting position as Esmerelda looked back up from her cd player.
“Okay! Let's run it from the top again! Last round ladies! Then we can all go home and relax” As the gentle music began to play and you started to dance, you couldn’t help but think about the striking ocean blue eyes that sent a spark through your soul.
-end of part 1-
Part one of a new series, not gonna be a long one, maybe 5 parts at least-most…dunno which it's gonna be but, yeah! If you couldn’t guess, (y/n) is Chad's sister (fraternal twin but since its x reader you look like you and not automatically a female version of Chad) and isn’t like him, takes more after her mom n stuff. And yeah we got some simps in (y/n)s class lol.
Hope you enjoyed and will enjoy the next parts (to which I have no clue where this fic is actually gonna go I had a beginning and ending part to it and that was all lol, so lets see how this turns out)

crash and learn | myg, kth, jjk
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: yoongi x reader ft. maggie x taehyung, dani x jeongguk
genre: fluff, college au, the misery chick au
rating: pg15
wc: 2.3k
warnings: swearing, not really edited
summary: you and yoongi just want some time alone OR maybe jeongguk and taehyung will finally stop crashing your dates
Tumblr media
a/n: haha i bet you thought i forgot but i didn’t! its drabble week and i will be posting one every day this week (weekends debatable)...this one is a part of the misery chick universe but also you don’t have to read it to get it because...

[drabble masterlist]
[the misery chick]
Tumblr media
One date turned to two and two to three, needless to say that months later and Min Yoongi still finds room to swoon for the girl who thought him puffing smoke before the start of the period. The misery chick isn’t gone, but the words are forbidden within a radius of the two of you, more likened to prolonged stares and the occasional glares of those wondering about the developing development of your arms locked and stares stopping on your respective pupils dilated in the glare of the midday sun. 
Though those passersby who let Yoongi pass by for too long without a positive step in the direction of his natural charms hold their tongues, the boys that fill the round of the courtyard picnic don’t hesitate to gag into half eaten sandwiches and dribble the purple fizz from the cans perched at their lips. 
“This is a little excessive, no?” Taehyung, the least bothered of the present, pipes up. He slurps from a straw that traces the length of his arm, wrapping the sleeve of his half buttoned button up. No one dared ask about his latest purchase, Jeongguk who was slurping from his juice box even eyeing with envy the can perfectly placed atop a tuft of grass, feeding into the straw at Taehyung’s lips. “When you invited us on a picnic I was hoping for a little more ‘we time’ and a little less ‘you time’.”
“To be clear, we didn’t invite you.”
“I like to think it was an open invitation,” Jeongguk shrugs, falling back against the blanket spread beneath you. 
Yoongi kisses his teeth, his own position resting against your chest, the perfect avenue for the pass of a grape from your fingers to his lips. He’s too content to bother with the bothersome nature of his uninvited roommates, both found minutes before his departure scavenging the lunch he’d spent the better part of the morning putting together. It was only the delighted pitch of your giggles that stopped him from scolding the two and sending them on their way when they followed you out of the door. He even caught you sneaking a few extra snacks into the basket for the fiends. 
“The point is, I will not hesitate to press my face to Yoongi’s because this is supposed to be a date.” 
“Press your face? That’s fuckin’ weird can’t you just say kiss?” Taehyung snatches the grape from your hand midair, sending Yoongi a smug smirk when he pops it past his geometric lips humming along with the satisfactory burst of the skin against his tongue. 
“No, because it makes you uncomfortable.” You tut, quickly replacing the grape to remedy the pout pulling at Yoongi’s cheeks. “This’ll teach you two to stop crashing our dates!” 
Dates is, in fact, plural because the tag along of your spritely comrades has been less and less few and far over the course of just a few weeks. You aren’t blind to the odd trend, not missing the attachment of Jeongguk specifically with each expected visit. Only recently had Taehyung begun to fill the void at Jeongguk’s side, previously partnered with any member of the house available at the time. 
What you’ve failed to account for with every impromptu double date is Jeongguk’s wise up with each stand in. He began to worm his way with Hoseok, clear that Yoongi would never turn down his best friend and you would never turn down Jeongguk. He would then try his hand with each member of the house, the worst of them being Jimin who had them sent away without even a morsel of the pizza you and Yoongi planned on sharing that day. 
It was that evening that Yoongi stood barefoot in his doorway, scratching at his brows toeing the reason behind Jeongguk’s sudden interest in you to which Jeongguk sputtered and blushed Yoongi out of the door with the assurance that his interest in you still remained platonic despite your commonalities and attraction. 
Jeongguk would never disclose the reason for his sudden interest in the almost daily escapades of Yoongi and yourself for fear that the blush painting his cheeks would be due to the teases and pressures of his friends, much the way he heard his hyungs pressuring Yoongi just months ago. He reasons that the position served Yoongi well, his eyes often traveling to the trace of your hand against Yoongi’s and frequent pecks to his forehead, his cheeks, he averts when you ‘press face’.
He wouldn’t dare admit the lift of his heart when you utter a defeated ‘I’ll just call Maggie and Dani, we can all catch a movie or something’ or when you plan ahead, which you’ve been doing more often, and the two meet you at your destination. The assumption of his appearance for the consumption that is often his source of a meal was accurate at the start. Your weekly dinners increasingly put on hold in place of a date with Yoongi, a point that Jeongguk used to his advantage the first night he beat Yoongi to the front seat of his own car while you snickered on the passenger side and Yoongi grumbled his way to the rear. 
His tactic had been to spend more time with his friend busied by love’s intoxicating hold, but his routine was struck by the catch of his own wrist in the hold of the bug. It was subtle before all at once, just an insignificant flutter passed off as a change in the weather, allergies. It was the not so subtle jab of Hoseok’s elbow into Jeongguk’s ribs after a particularly festive frolic through the spring festival that hipped him to his blind intentions. 
“Dude, you’ve been eying Dani for like three weeks and I’m tired of going on dates with you.” Suffice to say that was the last time Hoseok was glued to his side and Jeongguk only hoped the few feet between him and Dani just ahead provided a gap gaping enough to save her ears from Hoseok’s assail. 
It was a constant trial and error leading up to the night just a week ago that conjured Taehyung in stride, far too dressed up for casual with a confident glint in his eye. 
“You made the right call, I don’t know why it took you so long to make it, but I’m here now. The doctor is in.” Taehyung surveyed the small span of the restaurant's front entrance that day, confident in his abilities to  nudge Jeongguk ever closer to the girl he’s been crazy about for the past few weeks. He found it endearing that the youngest was having a hard time, especially when he was often the target of straying gazes and the not-so-subtle flirtations of all shades. 
It didn’t take long for all involved to realize that the doctor inconveniently called in sick from the moment Yoongi showed up with three ladies en route, one familiar from a photo Jeongguk scrounged and the second filled with a familiarity not quite familiar to Taehyung. You were quick to introduce her as Maggie, and Taehyung couldn’t form a sentence coherent enough for the rest of the night. 
If it weren’t for the quickened explanation on the drive home, Jeongguk would’ve been a lot less forgiving about his botched date, but here they are two weeks later, both lovestruck idiots jumping with each sound of crumpled grass while you and Yoongi are none the wiser to their intent. 
“So, what are we doing tomorrow? Aside from watching you two be all lovey dovey.” 
“I don’t know,” Yoongi’s head tilts, eyes squinting in the face of the sun’s rays. “What are you two doing tomorrow? I personally plan on spending the day with my girlfriend, preferably alone at some point.” 
“Huh, well there’s this horror marathon at the drive-in tomorrow and I was thinking we could all go!” Taehyung nudges Jeongguk’s leg, the younger immediately onboard with the suggestion. 
“Yeah! We could even invite Maggie and Dani so we have someone to talk to when you two inevitably claim the backseat for making out or whatever.”
You eye the two, eyes as wide as fresh puppies and smiles spanning the length of their cheeks. You aren’t completely blind to the trend of the past few weeks, but you haven’t been keen enough an observer to call them out on it until now. You’ve joked with Yoongi in private about your impromptu triple dates, most of the time brushed off with the shift of his lips to your own, too exhausted to think about anything but the moment he finally has you to himself. 
You nudge him with your knee, catching his eye with the minute dip of your head and the draw of your brow. 
“Ya know, you guys could always just go yourselves. I could give you their numbers,” You don’t miss the exchanged glances and tinted cheeks, Jeongguk’s eyes averting to the opposite end of the grass, one hand lifting to tug at the lobe of his ear. “I know Maggie is really into horror and Dani will def tag along if you ask nicely.” 
“Oh...they’re your friends though, I don’t think they’d wanna hang with us.” Taehyung sputters, nearly knocking the can at his side. Yoongi scoffs, head lolling from its place on your thigh. 
“You’re kidding right? The way those two act around you is not exactly subtle.” 
“What do you mean?” Jeongguk’s body leans forward, pupils doubled in hopeful curiosity. 
“I guess you’ll just have to see for yourself.” Yoongi shrugs. 
“And there’s no time like the present!” Your hands flag at something beyond the scope of their heads, Jeongguk freezing on the spot, but Taehyung’s neck craning to capture the bodies bounding over and moments later plopping in the convenient spaces between. Maggie squishes herself between you and Jeongguk while Dani takes the spot beside Taehyung. 
A panic flashes in both of their eyes when they note the unmatched arrangement of bodies. There was no specification as to who Maggie or Dani harbor unspoken feelings for, or what kind of feelings they are,  and the time to question has since vanished. 
The group falls to routine, broken conversations and voices piping in, Taehyung notes the lack of attention the girl that has a grip on his bursting appendage has paid in the past twenty minutes. A simple nod of the head or half smile is the only acknowledgement to his thoughtfully witty remarks. 
He doesn’t miss the drop of her hand to Jeongguk’s arm when he tells a funny joke, her head thrown back with exaggerated laughter and he fights to send a glare his way but thinks better as Jeongguk is too entranced by Dani who has barely said a word since sitting. 
“So, Tae was just telling us about this horror marathon they’re having at the drive-in tomorrow night. He and Guk wanna go.” You fill in once the six of you fall to comfortable silence. You catch Maggie sending a smirk Taehyung’s way, recovering at once when she peeks your gaze out of the corner of her eye. 
“Oh yeah?” 
“Yeah, Yoon and I could use some alone time so I thought you guys might wanna go with them.”
“Horror?” Dani speaks up, gently shifting to shield herself from Jeongguk’s wandering eyes. ���That’s cool, but I don’t know that’s not really my thing.” 
“That's okay!” Jeongguk startles himself with his words, lowering his voice with a nervous chuckle. “I mean, we don’t have to stay the whole time, I wouldn’t mind leaving early. We could get some food or something.” 
“Hey, not all of us are chicken. I wanna stay the whole time,” Maggie pokes her tongue in Dani’s direction, earning the same in return. 
“I’m not chicken. There’s just only so much nuclear family, last girl blah blah blah that I can handle.” Dani shrugs, turning her attention to Jeongguk for the first time that he’s aware of, since she arrived. “It’s okay, you guys should just go without me.” 
“No, I wanna hang with you. We could go to this new pizza place in town if you’re interested?” Jeongguk is pleased to note that you and Yoongi have gone back to your regularly scheduled program, pretending as if your date hasn’t been crashed for the millionth time. Taehyung and Maggie, on the flip, are watching you two as if they’re already tucked into the boot of a car with popcorn between their fingers. 
“Um...I mean, if you really don’t mind. I don’t wanna steal you or them away from the movies.” 
“I’ll stay...ya know, Maggie and I. We could stay and watch the movies and you two could go after the first one or two.” Taehyung glances at Maggie whose eyes are already taking him in, flashing away the moment pupils meet. 
“Yeah, that’s always an option.” She agrees, flashing you a thumbs up. 
“Great!” Four heads snap in your direction, Yoongi is finally sitting upright and you’re all smiles, neatly folding your blanket to pass off. “So it sounds like you guys have a lot of planning to do and we have a lot of kissing to do, so we’ll be seein’ ya!” 
“Wait, don’t you guys wanna finish your food?” Maggie gestures to the half eaten meal left resting in the basket.
“No no, you guys have it. I’m actually in the mood for pizza now so we’ll probably grab some on the way home.” 
“Okay...bye, I guess.” Dani watches with scrunched brows and Jeongguk and Taehyung send Yoongi the same look he’s been sending for weeks for a completely different reason. He sends them a smirk, arm slung around your shoulders as the two of you leave your date crashers in the dust with potential of their own. 
“Have fun!”

Daffodil, Laurel, Lily, Sunflower, Violet, and Wisteria? Also Begonia but I'd like to know your favorites of the old covers and the newer/reprint covers. And the Russian Warrior Cat covers too! Some of their art is quite pretty.
laurel, violet and sunflower answered previously
Daffodil: When did you first start reading the series?
Start of third grade when I was 8 years old, which I believe was 2007!!  .......so like literally most of my life I have given to these cursed cat books. I remember The Sight was the most recent release. It was the first real book series I ever read, and I think I went through the first 2 series within a couple months.
Prior to that I just read stand-alone books and I only read because I wanted to win “accelerated reader” points....i couldn’t do sports, so reading was the only thing I could win at AND I DID WIN. but warriors was the first thing I read that I was actually like...into. and realized I could read for reasons OTHER then winning the most points.
Lily: If your five favorite characters were foods, what would they be?
asdfghgfdxs I honestly have no idea how to answer this question, in part because I don’t think I even have 5 favorite characters. I suppose Firestar is doritos out of obligation. What else can he be?? I mean ok flaming hot cheetos maybe seems more fitting on the surface because ~flame-y~ but lets be honest, Firestar is a bit too bland a character to be spicy. He is one of my favorites for nostalgia sake, I mean it’s Firestar, how can I not be fond of him?
I also have a soft spot for Scourge just because of the sheer ridiculous audacity of him. I wish he’d come back as an evil ghost. Anyway, when I was about 9 and going through my brief (incredibly unfortunate) twilight phase (I was just jumping on the popularity bandwagon tbh) I went to Hot Topic right before one of the movie premieres and they had this...edible bag of blood? it wasn’t actual blood obviously, but I remember it was advertised as being really high in iron to mimic blood, but it was really this sickly sweet mystery juice packaged inside of a fake hospital blood bag. I of course bought it because I went through my edgy phase early, and for some reason thought it would look cool to pretend I was drinking blood. It was the most disgusting liquid i have ever consumed but hey it did also have the unpleasant metallic tang of blood because I guess they were going for authenticity over edibility, so it’s not like I didn’t get what I paid for (or rather what my mom paid for, because i was 9)
Anyway, Scourge is that. He’s awful fake blood juice from the Hot Topic in the mall.
 That's all I got.
Wisteria: Are you looking forward to the Warriors movie?
YES ABSOLUTLEY!!
don't get me wrong, I fully expect it to be terrible. Embarrassing even. I expect they will try to change it for a wider audience appeal, and of course it will end up bad, BUT IT WILL BE SO FUNNY!! I have this inescapable morbid curiosity about it, like I really want to see what they try to do. Like watching a train crash. I can't help it.
Warriors is a silly series. I have a feeling this is why a movie hasn't been made yet, even I would have no idea who to market it for. Yes it's violent and touches on very dark topics, but the fact that its about cute little cats with very dumb names coupled with those dark topics in a way makes it look even MORE silly. I don’t think Warriors will ever have wide appeal outside of its fanbase, the concept looks too ridiculous if you’re not someone already into animal xenofiction like this, but a movie is inevitably going to try to have wider appeal anyway because that's what movie studios feel they need to do. They will either water it down, or worse, try to go a more family friendly comedy route since that’s how general audiences are used to seeing animated talking animals and they think that's the only “”safe”” way to market an animal movie, which will 100% ruin it either way. The second one is more likely, I mean why else do you think they hired the guys who wrote kung fu panda, and the recent alvin and the chipmunks and Spongebob movies to make the script?? [no shade to kung-fu panda, it’s good in it’s own way, but it is not the same vibe as warrior cats at all]. For me, this is simultaneously the absolute best and the absolute worse scenario, because like, it’s horrible, its an insult to everything I love about the warriors world, i have surreal nightmares about it, but it’s so horrible it f*cking hilarious ya know? how can you not be a little curious to watch that train crash (and the outraged reaction posts that will inevitably follow)????
A warriors movie will be bad, I can't see any way that it won't be bad, and honestly? I think that's ok. I don't need a good movie, I simply need a good laugh, and then I'll go back to watching fan animations which will always be more interesting anyway because they don't feel the need to have ~mass appeal~
Listen, we don't actually need a good official adaptation. In some ways, a good adaptation might be bad for the fandom. The fandom is cool because of how wildly different and creative it is, the series is so bare bones with no consistent official art that people can go nuts with it. I worry on the off chance we get a really good adaptation, it might take over the books. People might be less likely to draw/create with their own wild bonkers interpretations of canon in favor of sticking closer to what the official adaptation presented us with, and idk if I want that. I also def don't want to deal with searching "warrior cats" for the rest of my life to only bring up gifs/discussions of the movie/tv show, rendering material and fan creations for the books almost impossible to find. This is something i've suffered with when other books i like get popular adaptations, where as series with bad adaptations (like percy jackson) I have less trouble finding content about the books. 
Begonia: Which book cover is your favorite?
So of the old covers I admit i have a soft spot for the darkest hour, it was my favorite as a kid and I know I tried to redraw it several times. Warrior covers have a tendency to blend together, there’s only so many ways to draw mysterious cats fighting, but I think this cover is one of the most memorable for me, if only for the center art (shout out to the old Fire and Ice cover though, I also really like the center art on that. I wish the box had kept being used for more than just a single cat face in the later series)
Tumblr media
but now that i’ve gone and looked, I really really like the full cover art for Tallstar’s Revenge, the colors just look super nice and match his eyes and everything. Tallstar having a fun and more unique looking design gives it extra points. Maybe I just like warm tones idk. And shout out to Wayne for also imagining the moor as a golden-brown field even though it’s probably supposed to be green.
Tumblr media
out of the new covers, I like the vibe of Dark River, it just looks spooky and mysterious......and I think this artists cats look better from the side, they are always a little crooked from the front (honorable mention to Place of No Stars cover, I really like the colors and the ominous vibe, it definitely had an impact when I first saw that cover, I just don’t love the look of the cats faces blown up close from the front. The more I look at it the more off it becomes, but the colors are cool)
Tumblr media
and I definitely agree the Russian warrior cats art has a very charming look to it, I like seeing it whenever it comes across my dash, but unfortunately I’m having trouble finding a catalogue of it to look at so I can’t pick a favorite

Reaction of the Sakamaki/Mukami brothers to a girl who is an introvert, has a resting bitch face,quiet,likes to read the things she interested in and sleep, doesn't like being around people and stuck with conversations with them rather she prefers being alone in a room doing her thing and also who is a night owl.🖤👀
hellooo ! thank you for your request anon, sorry to you (and the rest of you guys who i love so dearly! <3) for disappearing. but !!! i felt like writing a few days ago, so i just looked at my latest request and just. .went with it! i hope you like it! and i hope i can make some more content, i’m on a writing kick i think ??  love you !!  ❤️️
Tumblr media
Sakamaki’s:
Shu:
honestly? this sounds like a perfect match for him?? he won’t admit it but he definitely likes her (platonically and/or romantically(?)) 
seriously though if they make an effort to like.. be with him (again, platonic or not, doesn’t matter) he will DEF be cool with it, especially if they kind of just does their own thing
it sounds like a nice time to him- he can just lay down and listen to music, or,, whatever else he wants to (eheh-) and they can just vibe on the couch next to him
he literally doesn’t mind having them around as long as they’re not noisy and talkative. besides, he doesn’t mind having some fresh prey around either
oh and also the rbf ?? he lowkey likes it lol, the more intimidating you look, the less likely someone’s going to bug you, so it’s just another reason to keep you around
Reiji: 
not too much of a deal for him, but it doesn’t sound bad.? introverts are cool, quietness is even better, and reading is *top tier* lol
however, he’s still going to be as strict as he is with anyone else. once your like.. truly in reiji’s life, he’s in control of you now-
as always, he does have some complaints about a few things. to him, sleep is annoying and anyone who sleeps,, too much,, is too much of a reminder of his brother, so he would like that to change
he actually doesn’t mind that they don’t like to talk with others and stuff. he will earn their trust, and then they can be his. he wouldn’t have to worry about others trying to steal them, especially if they don’t want to talk to others
all in all, he’s a bit pushy in trying to kind of.. make them ‘perfect’ in his standards (which isn’t possible, and he knows this, but he likes to make the people in his life a bit better, if it’s possible) 
this would probably include him criticizing some of their reading choices, their sleep schedule, (however i feel like definitely understands being a night-owl)
Ayato:
well.. at first he’s a bit bored with them, but it’s tempting for him to like.. break them and open them up, if you understand. he’s determined to have them come out of their shell one way or another
and honestly that’s pretty much it? they probably wont really catch his eye, or  anything, after all, it is ayato, and he can only notice someone as great as him (cough cough)
that being said, they probably always look like they don’t want to be bothered, which could drive him into wanting to interact with them. he likes to push buttons, and he’d have some fun bugging them lol
if, however, they don’t end up giving him any sort of reaction, kind of just ignoring him all the time, he might just like.. either continue even more,, maybe encouraging a reaction with a nice, vampy suck skdjfhksdfh
regardless, blood is always good so.. yay, food for ayato !
Kanato:
well. . he's pretty judgmental. he might like straight up say he doesn't like their face, *if* they somehow ever start talking
i can't really picture him wanting to interact with them, he really doesn't care about others and they don't stand out, which is kind of a positive thing in kanato's eyes
all in all, it could work, his favorite thing about them would probably be their quietness and introverted self.
his only problem with that would be that they have to talk to him. he doesn't really get it, especially if they're like ???no thanks kanato i dont wanna talk
he'll throw a fit over it lol. i do see them being friends though, at least a bit if they allow it.
Laito:
has the same mindset as ayato. introverts are a fun time for him, a challenge if anything. the fact that they look so.. bitchy too is even more exciting to him
honestly i can see them being friends as well, it kinda depends on how he met them anyways ? kinda ??
he'll still.. be laito though. he's gonna try and mess with you, friends or not- he's not too bad but like. . friends with benefits eh? ?? (he’ll be pushy about it forever if it never does happen so um,,,-)
honestly he’s just gonna bother them all the time, that’s pretty much it
Subaru: 
it sounds pretty good to him, honestly. lowkey he thinks they sound like him in a way, which is perfect. don’t expect him to interact with though, the only way they could possibly have any sort of relationship is with them interacting first
otherwise, it’s unlikely. however!! if the relationship starts to bud, it’ll be super compatible. they can just be quiet, and so can he. that is, if he even wants them around. 
even as a friend he’s not fond of having people around, he doesn’t want to do anything that he doesn’t want to, and the best way to prevent that is by not being around at all
so, really it’ll take a lot of effort from them, as subaru will just mind his own business, but it can definitely work out, as they sound pretty chill to subaru, anyways
Mukami’s
Ruki:
honestly, he’s not impressed or anything ? they don’t stand out to him, and he’ll continue with his business as usual. 
kinda like laito, it depends on how they meet each other. if it has something to do with like.. a bride or something, then he’d like them a bit more, but if it involves meeting like.. in a random public place he’s likely to not care, if you know what I mean ?
anyways, it actually sounds perfect for him, in his eyes. the only thing he might prefer is to have them out of their room a little more often, and he’d encourage them to do so
he’s fond of the idea of reading together, too :>
Kou: 
another one who really wont notice them at first. they’re boring, but like ayato it might be fun to try and open them up and get them out of their shell . 
in order to do so, though, he needs to interact with them first which is .. highly unlikely as he’s always dealing with fans
that’s it, really? unless they can actively entertain him in one way or another, he probably wont want to be around them unless he’s like.. reaallly bored or something
again, going with the bride thing-y, he’d probably just hand them off to ruki
Yuma: 
well, it’s not the worst. they remind him of that idiot waste of space neet, buuut .. it can work! i’ve repeated this so many times i think but either buddies or lovers, he’ll be okay with it all
they sound really low matienence too so that’s kind of even better? he’ll get to do whatever he wants, and then just barge in and bug you whenever he feels like it
he thinks books are stupid, and most likely will wake them up the moment he sees them like.. napping and it’ll be really annoying ngl but like..umm,,, 
if worst comes to worse, he’ll just like.. use them as a bloodbank (if that’s not the case already ...?)
Azusa:
i.. am not sure whether this is a good or bad thing? he likes how quiet they can be, but really is lowkey intimidated
he thinks that they remind him of ruki, which. .ya,, intimidating- 
so it might take both sides to break out of their shells ? ? i can’t see azusa just like.. openly speaking to them because he doesn’t want to bother you, but if it ever happens, he’ll just talk about how much you remind him of his brother (how cute~)
also, if they like. . actually respond do him, he’ll be very happy and think that you’re his friend now!! which makes him very happy!! very!! he’ll show you allll his knives and cuts, which.. ehem,, ,,- regardless of their reaction, you’re his friend now, and he’s not going to just let you go

Softly, Barely a Whisper -- Daryl Dixon x fem!reader (part one)
Tumblr media
Softly, Barely a Whisper — Daryl Dixon x fem!reader (pre apocalypse) (part one)
Part One/ Part Two/ Part Three
Description: (Name) moved in with her uncle, the Sheriff of a little town in Northern Georgia, to escape an abusive household. While living with her uncle, she meets Daryl, a redneck with a heart of gold and a life very similar hers. Fluff and angst and awkward shy Daryl Dixon ensue.
⚠Warning⚠: great amounts of bad language, past mentions of abuse, past mentions of rape, there's probably more, this'n's kinda a mess. Don't read if you get triggered easily.
Genre: angsty fluff?? Hurt/comfort?? I've no idea. Is awkward Daryl a genre?
Pairing: teen!Daryl Dixon x teen!fem!abused!reader
A/N: hey, sorry I've been gone for forever, I suck at commitment. I also suck at naming things, hence the title. I wrote another long motherfucker of a "oneshot" and therefore am breaking it into chapters like I did with Impromptu Cuddles, so look out for the other chapters soon enough. Enjoy.
Words without A/N: 3242
<—————————————>
"Sure thing, Daryl. You can use whatever ya'd like, just make sure you put it back afterwards. The doors unlocked and yer more than welcome to go in for a drink or anythin' if ya need it." Bill Coleman, or Sheriff Coleman, as most knew him by, called out as he moved to open the door to his cruiser.
The Sheriff was an interesting character to the youngest Dixon. He had hardened features and a voice like a gravel truck that immediately implied a harsh disposition, his eyes were constantly squinted into a look that resembled judgment, and the vibe he gave off was just generally unpleasant; but, in all reality, Bill Coleman was probably the gentlest man Daryl had ever met. He understood the workings of the Dixon household without ever having to be told, and did what he could to make life any bit easier for the teenager. Whether that be arresting the senior Dixon whenever he found possible, or offering Daryl a place to stay in his home over the weekend. Bill was, all in all, a genuinely kind human being. Something, Daryl found, was rather rare in his life.
But, even though the Sheriff had his trust, and he knew the Sheriff trusted him the same, it still came as a bit of a shock to him to see the officer willingly let him, a Dixon, have open access to his house while no one else was home.
Everyone knew not to trust a Dixon. Nobody in the town was willing to make eye contact with him, let alone trust him to their house and belongings while they were away. Will, his father, had done a fine job of destroying the family name in his drunken escapades, and his brothers addictions did nothing to help. This, combined with the confusion and disbelief that coursed through his system, explained the gawk the boy's eyes held as he stared in awe at Mr. Coleman's retreating figure.
This had to be some kind of trick, right?
"Oh," the Sheriff called. There it was, the part where he'd laugh it off and say "just kidding. Like I'd let a freak like you into my home without supervision."
Once again surprising the young man, his expectation was the farthest thing from what the greying man actually said.
"I fergot ta mention my niece, my sisters kid. She'll be here soon enough, gets off work in a half hour or so. She's been stayin' with me since, ah–" he trailed off a bit, one leg up in the cruiser, the other still planted firmly on the ground as he looked at Daryl over the door's window, looking mildly uncomfortable "–well, she's jus' stayin' with me. She's real sweet, you'll prolly get along with 'er. Jus', eh, just be soft, ya hear? She's a bit skittish, and real shy, too, so don't be too offended if she avoids ya, she don't mean it rude like."
And what on earth could he mean by that? The avoiding that he'd done when describing why she was here, what had happened that he didn't want to talk about? Daryl had a few theories already.
"'Till later, Daryl. Take care, and remember what I told ya, boy." With a wave and a caring (or warning, he could never quite tell with the old man) smile, the grizzled man pulled out of the small driveway and onto the road leading out of the trailer park to go do his civic duty, leaving a still heavily confused, and now slightly concerned, Daryl Dixon standing outside of his garage.
This man, knowing his family's history with bad habits, was not only willing to let the teenager into his home without a watchful eye, but was also perfectly okay knowing he'd be there, alone, with his (skittish and shy) niece?
Maybe the old man is finally losing it, he thought.
Still in shock, the young man turned on his heel, and began the short trek back to the shedd to continue working on the pickup that he had been working on fixing up. Though it was really nothing but a shell sitting on bricks right now, he knew that someday it'd be his pride and joy.
Some uncounted amount of time later, Daryl was finally pulling himself out from under the hood. His throat itched with dryness, and he was covered in sweat from the never-ending harshness of the Georgian sun, but, nonetheless, he couldn't help the little spike of pride that ran through him as he looked down at the beginnings of the new-made guts of his pickup. Allowing himself the luxury of a small smile, he decided he'd finally take the old Sheriff up on his offer, and moved to head into the house to grab something to wet his throat, and maybe even a rag to wipe off his face, if he was feeling risky.
He found, upon entry, that the house was relatively clean. Cleaner than it had been the last time he'd been in there, at least, and only as clean as an old trailer house could really get.
Still, where before there had been newspapers scattered, now there were none, and in place of the cluttered kitchen was a clean countertop and a basket of fresh apples. He didn't dwell on it a whole lot as he moved to the sink to fill up a plastic solo cup, though he did wonder if Bill would mind if he stole an apple. The young Dixon couldn't really remember the last time he'd eaten.
Filling his cup, he was quick to chug it down, the cold a dramatic (but welcome) shock against the harsh dryness of his throat. He let the water run into the sinks basin as he filled the cup up again, again, and then one more time, and only on his fifth return to the water did he realize the difference in sound. A few inches of water was backed up in the bottom of the sink, refusing to go down the drain like it should, and completely changing the sound the water pouring from the faucet made as it headed downwards.
Quickly setting the cup aside and turning off the faucet, he watched the water make its incredibly slow decent into the drain, and decided he needed to pay back Sheriff Coleman's hospitality. It was the least he could do, after all.
Opening the doors that lead to the plumbing beneath the sink, Daryl set himself to work.
~~~~~~~~~~×~~~~~~~~~~
"Good night, (name)!" Mr. Sennet's overly cheery voice called to the young woman as she moved her way through the front doors of the diner.
Calling out a quick goodbye to him as well, she hurriedly climbed into her rig. A shitty little Honda though she was, she still got the young (name) from a to b, and (name) would be forever grateful to her uncle for gifting it to her.
Dusk was just beginning to settle as she took off towards her new residence, and she worried slightly if her uncle would be angry that she was out later than usual. The diner had been busier tonight than normal, and instead of getting off at seven, as per usual, it was now closer to nine.
Taking a calming breath, she reminded herself aloud:
"He's not like they were, he won't be mad at you. He's not like them, he won't be mad."
Though she really did believe it, she still repeated it aloud to herself the entire way back to the house, as if she thought she could will it into existence if she hoped hard enough.
It was silly, she knew, but she didn't really care. After all she'd been through, she thought she deserved a little self reassurance.
The drive to her new home was short lived, though she didn't much mind. She hated to be alone now, it gave her too much time to think, and far too much time to overthink. A regular pastime of hers, it seemed.
It was odd, really. Before, when it was just her and the chromed glass house and the bruising voices, before she was taken away by her uncle, she loved to be alone. She cherished the times of peace she had between the hurt. Now, if she was alone for more than thirty minutes, it was likely she'd be found having a mental breakdown in a bathtub.
But, enough of the depressing stuff.
As the scarred girl pulled into the driveway, she didn't notice the second pair of tracks that accompanied her uncles, as she was far too wrapped up in her head. Something she'd be sure to kick herself for at a later date. She didn't notice the single light that was on in the kitchen, either, nor did she pay mind to the tools that lay neatly around their box as she passed the shedd that functioned as a garage, and she simply put the shell of a pickup truck that sat just outside off as another of her uncles pastimes. Opening and stepping through the front door, she didn't even notice the smudge of mud off the sole of someone's shoe that was left on the carpet.
She did, however, definitely notice the way the hair on the back if her neck stood to attention at the sound of a voice that most definitely wasn't the Sheriffs cursing angrily from the kitchen. Metal clinking to the ground and a tapping on something that echoed like tubing followed behind the exclamation, and (name) felt herself seize up in fear.
"It can't be them," she reminded herself silently, "it isn't them, it can't be."
Swallowing her fear, trying desperately not to let the tears that branded the backs of her eyes build enough to fall, (name) forced herself to move farther into the room, grabbing the aluminum baseball bat that resided behind the door and dropping her bag by a table near the door as she did.
Thinking back to the little bit of self defence that Bill had taught her upon her moving in, she pulled the bat to her side to keep it close enough that no one could easily pull it from her grasp, but could still cause some damage if shoved forwards hard enough.
Sneaking around the corner of the refrigerator that hid the person from view, she took a deep, calming breath before poking her head around to take a peek.
He was young, she could tell, likely not much older than herself. Shaggy, brown-blond hair nearly reached broad shoulders, and even though he was hunched over beneath the kitchen sink, she could still tell he was much larger than her. Muscles flexed under a sleeveless button-down shirt as he twisted a wrench against the plumbing under the basin, grunting lightly as he did.
He didn't seem like he was there to cause trouble, she figured. Who in their right minds broke into a house just to fix their backed up sink? Oh dear, maybe he's not in his right mind? What if they sent him and he's here to kill the girl? What if he was there to bring her back to them somehow? But they were away, they couldn't hurt her, could they? Even from the depths of prison, or the entrapment of the psych ward, the girl didn't really doubt that one of the two could get a word out to have her hurt (killed?) for getting them put away. She was going to die now and she wouldn't even be able to fix the meatloaf that she had planned for tonight's dinner. She felt her body begin to tremble (or perhaps it was already, and she only just then noticed) and her eyes glazed themselves with tears, to her dismay.
Could she swing and knock him unconscious? Could she at least discombobulate the man long enough to escape? Could she really even hurt somebody like that?
Before she could come to a decision, however, the decision came to her.
Away in the living room, a phone rang. The shrill tlrrring! making both bodies jump slightly, and causing the boy bent beneath the kitchen sink to take notice of young (name).
Blue eyes widened as he caught sight of her, baseball bat clutched in hand, and he threw himself backwards and away, slamming his body into the ovens door. Instinctively, his arms moved to guard his face and torso.
"Fuck! Fuckin' hell, girl!" The loud exclamation startled the girl, and she jumped again, shoving against the refrigerator hard enough to make it rattle dangerously.
~~~~~~~~~~×~~~~~~~~~~
Fixing the plumbing turned out to be far more difficult than Daryl had originally assumed. The bits holding the stuff to the things was rusted on, making it difficult to loosen the thingy mabob and clear anything clogging the that thing.
Putting all of his focus into wrenching the bits away from the stuff, Daryl completely failed to notice the other presence in the room with him, and when the phone in the other room shocked him out if his thoughts, he found his mind immediately assuming it was his father standing there with a weapon in hand.
As his back hit the oven and his arms moved to guard his head, he caught full sight of the person, and quickly came to realize his mistake. His heart beat harshly against his ribs, and he couldn't help but exclaim his dislike for the situation.
"Fuck! Fuckin' hell, girl!"
At his shout, the girl flinched away from him so harshly that he thought the refrigerator was going to come crashing down on top of him, and he immediately felt guilty, for some odd reason.
She looked absolutely terrified. (Eye color) eyes big as saucers, glazed with fear and glossy with tears, shaking hands gripped the metal of the baseball bat so hard her skin turned white, and her entire body was shaking like a leaf. Her eyes never left his form as he slowly stood up from the ground, one hand still held out in front of him, whether to ward off an attack, or to show he meant no harm, neither really knew. The girl was down right terrified of him, and he hadn't so much as said a word to deserve it yet.
This had to be the niece the Sheriff was talking about, he decided. The scared look she was giving him as she slowly backed away from him made him feel downright awful, and he knew he needed to do something to show her he meant no harm. So, remembering her uncles words, Daryl worked to make his voice a bit less gruff than usual, and tried to keep the edge out of his tone.
"Uh-uh, I ain't here ta hurtcha, girlie–" she took another quick step back "–I'm a friend of Bill's. I was jus' comin' in ta get a drink, I ain't here ta hurtcha."
There was far more that could be said, he knew, but words never really were his forté, and he wasn't sure how much he could talk before he made her more uncomfortable. However, the little bit that he had said, mostly naming her uncle, he thought, had made her shoulders un-hunch a bit, though she kept her distrusting posture. Smart girl.
Slowly lowering the bat until it pointed at his chest she grabbed it with both hands and hesitantly backed out of the kitchen, beckoning him to follow her. Keeping him safely at the end of the bat, and moved to pick up the still-ringing phone and gingerly press it to her ear, her eyes never leaving him, and the bat never wavering (though it did shiver along with her tremors.)
Her eyes relaxed a bit more at the voice on the other end of the line, and though Daryl couldn't much hear the words that were being said—aside from the mumbled tone—he could still tell it was the sheriffs deep voice that spoke.
"Yeah? Uh-hm, good, I uh, I guess... I did. Of course," as she spoke to the formless voice, Daryl couldn't help the small spike of fear that ran up his spine. What if the Sheriff didn't want him there now that he'd scared the girl? He had warned him, he thought. What if Bill made him go back to his shit-hole house and wouldn't let him come back again? This place was one of the few he had to escape that hell, he didn't want to lose that. What if the officer freaked and called Daryl's dad to come pick him up? He'd have hell to pay if he let that happen. He was sure he'd end up with a few more scars at least if his dad were to find out that someone knew of what went on behind closed doors. The Sheriff, no less. What if he–
His spiraling thoughts were disrupted when he caught the sound of his name coming from the other end of the phone line and immediately tuned back in.
"Uhm, uh, yeah, I–I guess. I mean, yeah, yes, he's still here... Oh, no, he's, uh, he's been nice enough," was she even still talking about the red-necked youth? "Yes, of course it's okay, uncle Bill. Sure-sure thing, yeah, that's okay with me. I was thinking about making meatloaf tonight, anyway, that usually makes enough for more than just you an' me."
Wait, what?
The girl had lowered the weapon, though she still kept a tight grip in it, and gave him a shy, almost apologetic smile, before finally letting her eyes dart away. Daryl stayed frozen in his spot. What was even happening?
"–oh," she suddenly looked dejected at whatever had been said on the other side. Scared, almost. "Yeah, no, no, that's-that's okay, uncle Bill, sure thing. It's okay, promise," she suddenly donned a small smile, and though he knew imediately that it was fake, he still found himself startlingly light-of-breath at the sight.
"Yeah, of course, see you tomorrow, uncle, stay safe." Tomorrow? What? Why was all this so confusing to the youngest Dixon? Why was the disappearance of her smile making him feel so hollow?
The sudden change in the expression that the smaller figure wore was dramatically startling to Daryl. Going from sad and scared and sorry and a bit regretful to blushing and wincing and all together uncomfortable in the blink of an eye, the girl shriekingly exclaimed:
"Uncle Bill! No! Ew, gross! Don–Don't say things like that, ya nasty!" Daryl couldn't help but find her blush and stutter quite endearing.
Even from the few paces away that he was, he could still hear the loud laugh that erupted from the other side of the phone.
"Alrigh–alright, uncle Bill," the girls face was still flushed intensely, "I'm hanging up on you now... Yeah, yes, okay—thanks for that." She winced again at whatever he'd said, and she somehow flushed even harder. In a softer voice, now, "I'll see you tomorrow, then. Stay safe." Her last words were barely a whisper.
Slowly pulling the phone away from her ear, the girl placed it gently on the receiver before turning to glance at Daryl, though he took note that she never once fully looked at him again.
"I'm, uhm, I'm sorry," she whispered, grimacing softly.

Because I’m an angsty bitch, could you do a head cannons from the seven with a terminally ill MC? Or at least really, really sick. Thanks! Love your writing 💕
PROMPT: “If Only We Could Have More Time…”
Rating: SFWWords: 600-700Characters: Demon Boys + MC / Gender-Neutral ReaderNotes:  Hi! I tried not to make the situation all much worse by means of pressing too hard with the subject in a sense, but to end it with something both parties could cherish. I hope you will all enjoy it!~Oh! And this is written in their perspective.~
Lucifer
Shit..Shit..Shit..
F*ck..
Screwsaving face, the Avatar of Pride himself soon began sprinting through the palehallway, missing to register himself by the lobby as his eyes were fixated bythe red beaming light under the sign; emergency room.
It was imprudentto put his phone to silent at his meeting with the prince of Devildom. Heshould have known better not to… otherwise, he would have read your messagehalf an hour ago, their voice replaying in his mind as his feet quicken itspace.
“Heyumm.. Luci? I know itis a bad time to call you.. but umm.. I’ll be having my operation again in anhour according to the doctor. I hope you’ll take it easy with those meetings and take care!”
“I’msorry sir but you could not enter from this point on. I’m afraid you have towait at the waiting area.”
“But Ineed to see them! Are they already there?” The light-bringer tried to reasonwith the man in a white coat but to no avail. His fears only heightened whenthe doctor reminded him of the day’s operation and how it could grave it couldgo further..
“They do tend to get worse every cycle..”“Why?”“Because each infusion gets harder and the doctors say that Ishould expect that I’ll get weaker every moment.”“Then why place yourself in that situation..?”
Thosebitter words clung into the air as the embodiment of Pride could no longer holdhis composure as one of the nurses by the station assisted him to take a seat.With his fingers entwined together, letting his chin rest on it, his feetclearly indicate how uneased his spirit was as the sole continues to move upand down as though it were to pounce to the emergency room.
 Lookingthrough his surroundings, there were also people under his shoes. Hands claspedtogether with their forehead close to it, mumbling under their breath as thoughthey are talking to…
 God?
 Prayingat every second spared before the judgment on the other door. And…
Should he do the same?
 “Ma’amChase?”“Yes?”“Yourdaughter is doing fine now. The operation was a success thanks to Dr. Pomatter.”“Oh thankGod! Can I go see her now?”“Yes, ma’am!This way.”
Thank God?They are thanking… Father? 
He hadresented any forms of communications within the Celestial Realm, only forming aprofessional relation to Simeon and Luke under Diavolo’s rule yet… why are histhoughts claiming otherwise?
No.Why should he ask for mercy?He is Lucifer.The eldest and the leader of his pack.A fallen angel to whom prowess never left, despite his glorytainted by the burning sulfur.Yet here he was, incapable to put Death far back on his drawingboard for picking his human for its next kill.Unable to take his human out of it…
Takinghis focus away from the mortals that surrounded the waiting area, thetelevision played a soap opera and with no remote to control its channels, itwas projecting a tragic scene with the woman dead on her lover’s arms.
 What if their life would be cut shorter than it already is becauseof this operation?
Could he ever digest the thought that within those times they weretogether, he did not spend it wisely because…Because he let his pride in between? Because he considered hisreputation more than..
Closinghis eyes once more, taking in a series of deep breaths, he, the Avatar ofPride, has always seen the display of empathy as a visage of helplessness andit was their little exchange student that demonstrated it to him otherwise.
Nonetheless,with his human weak.. why should he too, present himself in the same conditionjust because of his worries?
It wouldnot be right.He doesnot want to see his human frown just so his face is.
Maybe there is something he could do.. He thought to himself. Ifhe could not bail his human out of the cold-lighted room, perhaps he could maketheir stay un-cold. Something that could make him see them smile again.
Lookingthrough the window as the room itself has proven itself unable to distract thedemon on his own thoughts drowning his own rationality, there was a signagebeaming with fluorescent lights that made him stand and read; 
“Seven..Eleven..”“I wonderif there have any ice cream there..”
 Mammon
 For being the Avatar of Greed, he sure do brag about bein’ their little human’s first to ever make a pact with. He ain’t letting it pass on as just that.
Just to see his brothers sneer and hiss from mentioning it.
It’s like this bullet that could penetrate even to the thickest skull out there.
An accomplishment and for once, it was a pact he felt that wasn’t a curse. The witches should def. take down some notes from his human~
Yet…
He thought to himself…
There’s no one like his human.
 Recalling how his human would ride along to every trouble he creates, every idea he makes, it was this exchange student who was only staying a year that somehow, taught him companionship. And…
He couldn’t take it out of his chest, that he, the Great Mammon, had failed them.He was their first demon to ever make a pact with yet he didn’t do much being one.Perhaps, thinking now, most of them did more than he.Showed more care. Provided more care.And all he did was to get himself out of troubles and the consequences of his actions.Correction: It’s his human that would bail him out… like a mom.
But then, was there anything he could do to being with?
“Dang.. How much am I going to pay you now?”
His human has never even once mentioned of this illness resulting to Death..Well, all diseases would lead to Death but not with this higher rate of going to Death.It‘s like a parade to Death with his human the star of the show.
“I knew I should have bought Boardwalk the moment I landed on it the first time round!”
Maybe he should be the one to blame here.Maybe he didn’t ask more. Known them better.To think even money could betray him because there’s no known cure yet for them.Just like what the doctor said.
“Rent revenue of 50 dollars plus a three houses, umm..”
“Mammon?”
 …
“Mammoney?”
 …
“MonMon!”
“Ya?” Clearing his headspace, the Great Demon of hell went straight to his Boardwalk card. Sure thing that the visit was expensive. He’s getting all the money from this human plus his property, that’s… for sure..
“Is there something wrong?” they asked, their eyes piercing and hoisting only the truth on the sea of lies, he had come up of saying; “For you not to be interested with mone–“
 “I wish I could have known this sooner..”
“Mammon..”
“I could have not wasted your time too much with tossing you from one chaos to another.. and—“
“Mammon…” taking his hand with theirs to entwine with, their little cash-based board game folded in half as they inched closer;
“Why didn’t you ask me to make it go away?”
Did his voice just crack?
“Mammon..”
“I’m the first demon ya got to make a pact with. I got some witches and we might have been able to conjure some potion to get ya ou—“
“Because I just want to spend my time with you..
I do not want our time to be spent on looking for a cure when we could have so much more fun alone.”
Pause.
“Before meeting you, for a while, I was in your shoes too. Looking for a cure that was not there and I am glad that I snapped out of it meeting you.”
“Ummm…” the Avatar of Greed gulped down.
Did he just screw up?
“Because if it were not for you, I would not have enjoyed living. Having fun. Making troubles. I felt alive.”
 For someone whose lifeline is in the near end… a demon, a particular avatar of Greed demon could only comprehend so little. Here was a human, frail and like the money he knows would soon be gone out of his pocket, talking of living life to the fullest with him..
Because of him…
 “So.. are we still playin’ Monopoly or we’ll just snuggle ‘til the nurse bails you out of visitation hours?”
Leviathan
“What do you think we should play next?” Looking to his rightside, his little human was watching intently at the monitor of his laptop,completely ecstatic as he was able to defeat the final boss of the game. He wasable to manage to get through the final boss because of the UR armour pieceshis human was able to pick whenever he has to decide which crate he should openafter completing another level.
“Shall we go for.. Ruri-Chan Idol or A!3?”
“Whatever you decide on, Levi! As long as I’ll get to watch you.”
His eyes tried not to leave theirs but with his eyes inevitablytracing the cord from the IV down to their hands, injected for how long theycould have been admitted, playing video games became much more of a distractionfor him than it was for his human.
“Levi?”
“Y-y-yes?”
Making his eyes return to the person staring back at them, hecould definitely see a glistening spark as their lips curled, reaching theirears.
“Are you afraid of needles?”
Needles?Afraid of needles?Why would he be afraid of needles?
“Me? Afraid of needles? ROFL LMAO. The only thing I’m afraid of isnot having enough diamonds to purchase another UR Ruri-chan for the next event.”
It wasnot the needle that he was afraid of..But rather, on how swollen their hands are.It must have taken a lot from them..
“Then why are you looking at it like it’s some boss level at oneof your video games?”
Just as there were no room left to insert an excuse from hisinventory, he shifted his attention back to his folder of video-games that hewas able to install for offline playing purposes when he heard them laugh oncemore.
“Look at my hand, Levi! It looks like a balloon. I can’t move it..”
“Let me get the nurse then.”
“Why aren’t you saying ‘lol’ or ‘lmao’?”
Leviathan dead-panned looked at his human for quite some time, hiseyes fixated on theirs going to their hand and back again;
“You want me to lol when your hand looks like it weighs a ton?! Ifthis were an otome game, your intimacy with me would go down!”
“I am just kidding.. hahaha”
That laugh. That silly laugh that even a shut-in could not helpbut be flustered every time his ears are graced with it.
“I already rung the nurse station. Someone would come assist meanytime soo-“
“Good day, how could I be of assistance, sir?”
A woman dressed in all white looked at him before it was able todetect the cause of her call.
Her hands soon untangled the weave by his patient’s left hand, askingto keep their hand still as a ball of cotton soon veiled how the needle wasejected from…
And that was when he turned away from the scene and gave the nursesome space as he went through once more to his file of games..
Whichgame would best distract me?
He could always trust his video games.Video games has always shut him out of facing the outside world.Had always been his comfort blanket.But with him always in this comfort blanket, could he be truly there to supporthis human?
“You could look now, Levi!”
Why arethey smiling? What is there to smile? One hand told to be careful and anotherstuck on a board so it would not bend and have the needl—Maybe he is, sort of, afraid of the needle…Because of how it could be dangerous to them!
“How could you be so chill in all of this?”
“Because, I’m used to it?”
“But you see me with every boss level. Yes, I am used to gameshaving boss level but it is still different..”
“Well.. it was quite painful..”
Then whyare you so chill about it?Is this perhaps.. jealousy with how their human could handle things that ademon couldn’t?Him shutting in and them.. facing it?
“But today, I feel fine today.~”
“How come?” the Avatar of Envy looked once more to their hands,knowing how their left hand would soon be swollen too after a couple of IVs anddays..
“Because I have you.~”
Thishuman..
Sensing his cheeks go crimson red in heat, he tried concealing hisface with one hand, hearing once more that silly laugh, making him moreflustered. “Warn me next time when you’ll go cheesy, human.”
“How about this.. I’ll play a game and you will watch whileresting on my shoulders.”
“What will you be playing?”
“Do you have that game where the owner of a fast-food restaurantof chickens in a dating simulator?”
Satan
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Watching his human finish the last spoonful of their supper andpausing a video from their phone, it was prominent to his tone how angry he wasto himself. Mixed with frustration as his efforts of spending more time at thelibrary, looking at every bookcase for a book with a solution to theircondition, wasted as he found none.
Of all the spells and ancient writings, Devildom is provided with,none could enlighten the Avatar of Wrath on how he could just make theirillness non-existent which only added fuel to the fire considering how there isa book that could swap two entities to the other’s bodies but none about makinga mortal’s terminal illness gone.
“What were you listening to?”
Trying to put the subject or reason of his tardiness to rest bymeans of bringing up another conversation, right now, what the devil wants, isto turn his brain from overthinking off, and more on thinking about them.
“Oh! I was listening to a podcast with a holographic fanatic.”They beamed as though they had spent their time fruitful compared to his. “Youlook a bit tired..”
“A bit tired?”
Are hiseyebags prominent once more? He most definitely would not like to put his humanin worries or to even look tired.That he took from Lucifer.
“But still pretty charming.~”
“Now that is cheesy.”
Putting the food tray and the food container that looks similar tothose at the cafeteria away and near to the door, he saw his human shiftingmore towards their left, a clear invitation for him to be nearer, resulting toSatan putting his coat by the sofa readily available for a visitor.
“What was the podcast about?” He asked as he kept on shifting toattain that perfect and comfortable position to lie down next to them. The bedwas not relatively bad, much to his surprise.
“Just mundane stories that I just missed while being in here.”
If only asickness could tremble and run with his wrath, he would have done it in a snap.Why does sickness have to constrict someone from living?Especially them?
“I’d rather hear about you.~”
Surprised, his features were much more of confusion, somethingthat made his little human laugh and smile as though they were not in such confinedsituations.
“About me?”
“Mhmm!”
There itis again. Those kitty-like eyes.Those eyes that would make him fall for them once more.And make his cheeks flustered and in heat.
“What about me?”
“Anything. Childhood, fondest memories, life as a student..anything! I just want to hear more about you.”
“There is nothing to tell.”
“Eh?”
“Well, there is nothing interesting about me, darling.”
“Don’t say that!”
Hethought he was the Avatar of Wrath..But with his human angry at his reply..He could be dethroned with that title and just be the VP of being the Avatar ofGreed.
“You are interesting!”
“Darli—“
“You truly are! You are interesting to me.”
Interestingto me.
Sensing his ears getting hotter and hotter, he looked up by thepale ceiling, the fan spinning round and round when he felt an arm wrap aroundhis abdomen, warmth coursing through; “Pleeeeaase?”
“All right, all right. Maybe I could tell you how Asmodeus taughtme how to lie to save a kitty.”
“Yay!”
Asmodeus
“Asmo?”
Sensing his fingersentwined further to theirs, the Avatar of Lust fluttered his eyes open, seeingtheirs holding a reflection of himself making his body jerked itself to functionand boost up at once.
“You’re awake!”
How long was he asleep?
“Good morning, beautiful.~”
Beauty?Now now, little human..Let the Avatar of Lust handle the flirting.Although hearing their compliment was definitely  more boosting than any reserved slot or timefor spas and saunas.
“How are you feeling,dear?”
Looking through his phone,it was already 4am by his lockscreen, garnering how the Beauty himself wouldalready have underbags on his eyes. But that is something a cold slice ofcucumber and sleep would cure. Unlike theirs, where the operation was rather concerning in regards of how their body would take it. How the body will heal and take in the changes..
“How long have you beenhere, Asmo?”
This human..When will they ever learn to answer before asking?
“Just an hour ago. Then Ifell asleep instantly.~”
Lies.He had been there for hours and perhaps a day?It had been so long since he moved from his seat from their operation and truthbe told..His buns.. his “ass”ets are kinda flat by now.Nevertheless..He would not miss being the first demon his human would see when they wake up.Never.
And to think he was out-waken by his human.
“Was there a nurse thatcame to visit me?”
“There was one that replacedyour IV and checked pressure while ago.”
Both eyes were soon by theIV with its fluid contents were nearly empty, something his lies however, couldnot cover.
“Wow.. Only a while ago withmy IV already up to be replaced? Asmodeus..”
Oops?
“Fine..I have been here formore than a while..”
Pouting their lips with theireyes gazing afar from his to the round décor by the wall, it was evident how hehad spent overnight beside them without any flinch or reconsidering even tomove from his seat before he could see his reflection once more on their eyes.  
“You have dark circlesunder your eyes already.. Do you want to switch places? I will take a seat andyou will lie down on my bed?”
“You are not yet advised toeven sit up, darling.” The demon argued. “Dark circles could be remediedeasily.”
This human just woke up and their first concern is him?Or more specifically, his looks..Truth be told, the same could be said with him but They now come in second.His main priority is them.
“But..”
“No buts now, dear.”
Smiling seeing theirfeatures an upside down reaction to his, he nudged his seat closer to them, hesoon let his pressed his lips against their forehead before stroking a fewstrands of their hair that were, unfortunately, bit too sleek to his liking;
“Darling?”
“Hmm?”
“Want me to help you.. wash?”
“Asmo!”
Blushing at his suggestion,it was more of a concern rather than his usual evocative invitationsconsidering how several cords would hinder the progress, not to mention how thenurse would dutifully remind him of how their hand where it is injected to,should remain unmoved otherwise, blood will come out and ascend to the tube;
“I am quite serious.”
“Eh?!”
“I could wash my darlingbefore breakfast. What do you say?”
“Asmo…”
Finding this all amusing,it was quite difficult to put the talk into a more serious tone but with thenurse coming in an hour or two for their breakfast, it seems the Avatar of Lusthas to surrender it all;
“I could get a towel and abowl so you could work clean yourself while I will be in charge of cleaning anddrying it What were you thinking, silly?.”
“Oh..”
“It looks like someone ishaving a different idea. We could always do that.~”
“Asmo!”
Oh it is good to have them back.
Beelzebub
“Is this what they have inthe cafeteria?”
It was then, that even theAvatar of Gluttony found food unappetizing. They were looking rather bland andfrom the faces of the people eating, they seem to care more about filling inthe void there is at their guts rather than actually enjoying the food.
He would most certainly beable to tolerate it, especially when he sensed his tummy rumble when his palmrested on it but, for his human to also have the same experience?
It was a big no-no.
With an hour and a halfbefore the nurse or staff would give their meal for the noon, the Avatar ofGluttony followed his second brain to scout and find stores that sells betterfood.
Tastier food.
Just the thought of it hadhis stomach grumble as his nose then sniffed out, making several stops near thehospital’s vicinity, surprised with what mortals could do with simple and fewingredients that the demon presumes to be readily available.
Perhaps he should come around and know their delicacies more?He had always heard stories from them about some food that are spoken not tohis language despite being Gluttony himself.
With goodies in a largebag, truth be told, he was not accustomed to what his person would call “terminalillness”. It was a shock and the thought of it became overwhelming. His pacewere gradually slower as his mind could not erase their confession of theirailment, how they warned him, but did he listen?
He did.But he did not want to let it hinder them.And he will never let it be.
“That’s all for you?!”
At this point..
His eyes were fixated ontheirs, breaking its trance with the sound of the door shutting, making hiseyes travel lower down to their figure. They have been getting thinner thanthey were when they were introduced, having his rear colored with dark blues.
Perhaps, it reminded himtoo much of famine.. Seeing it onto the privileged’s eyes as they take what is supposed to be shared to others.
Taking the moment to settlewhat he had brought over by a small bedtable, his lips subconsciously drew asmile, refraining himself from making a comment or two about it.
“Why is that what you wouldalways say..”
With a giggle or two, therewas already a feast laid out on the table, making no room for the food providedby the facility, something he would just have to eat all to himself to trickthe staff, his eyes reflecting how swell they looked from sensing the newvarieties offered on their plate.
“Didn’t I mention we would have lunch together?”
“Yup. And I always get myusual hospital food.. But not anymore!~”
“Now hold on before diggingin..”
Munching the food away toreplenish the sense of famine within him, diverse yet complimenting flavors overwhelminghis tongue, it was obvious the Avatar of Gluttony could not help either to moanto compliment the divine food he just purchased or continue munching as thoughthey were alive and would run away.
“Umm.. Beel?”
“..Yes?”
Hearing them laugh ascrumbs went onto his shirt like a waterfall, his eyes fell too onto theirplate.
They have not even touched their plate..
“Could you help me slice upthis chicken?”
Is this why they are so thin?Because the food is rather inaccessible for a one-hand person?
“Of course.”
It took quite a while forBeelzebub to settle his fourth hamburger and mince to their favored sizes.
If that is the problem..Maybe he could offer them a solution instead.Him.
“Now say ahh..~”
“Beel!”
“Hmm?”
“I could do it on my own..”
“Not when I am holding yourfork, you couldn’t.~”
Belphegor
Violently shaking what heheld dearest onto his arms, not even a flinch or any movement came about totheir chest, making himself tremble, holding them closer to him.
It couldn’t be true.This is just a dream..He needs to wake up.
Belphegor could take on anyhardships there is, burden there is, but not facing the inevitable yet.. He wasnot ready yet.
And probably never will.
To an Avatar of Sloth,wasting time had been his forte, and to spend it efficiently.. is this what hisdream is communicating him with?
“Nnnn…”
“No.. no..no…”
“Nooo…”
Sensing his consciousnessseeping through, his body felt like being electrocuted by the door creaking anda stranger’s voice entering.
How long has he been passed out?
Usually, he could care lessabout such trivial matters but feeling like sleeping schedules and body clocksbut with someone’s life given with a countdown…
“Good evening. Is he your guardian?”
Turning his head to facethe voice, his vision soon could interpret the man as the hospital’s securitywith his record book at hand and a pen, his eyes for a moment, on Belphegor’sstate.
“Yes he is.”
There they are, sitting onthe sole chair provided for the guest with the metal rod or pole accompanying them,assisting the flow of the IV through their veins.
“Will he be stayingovernight?”
“He will be.”
“On it. Seems like he’s thepatient rather than you are. Ta-ta!”
“That’s not true…” Hemuttered, dark hues reappearing on his rear just as they were visible in hisdreams.
“Are you okay, Belphie? Youwere sleeptalking again..”
“I was?”
Shit.
“Just a random dream, Isuppose.”
By the looks of theirfeatures, it did not take too long for Belphegor to know how his response wasunpleasant.
So much for someone who just woke up..
“I just had a nightmare.The curse of sleeping too much.”
He dare not bring up hisown troubles. That would be insensitive nor does he wish to press an issueregarding their limited lifeline.. Truth be told, humans are mortal beings butwith an illness pressing them down towards the inevitable further…
“Would you like to tell meabout it?”
Tell them about it?
“It is just nothing..”
“You’re not really a goodliar, Belphie. How about we get to talk to it with a cup of coffee?”
Though the mattress wasrelatively comfortable and the pillows plump with the scent of theirs, like acertain paradise created for him, his body voluntarily get up and made them coffee.
“Don’t you think my habitsis just wasting your time?”
Crap.. What was he thinking?This is why he should have coffee first before even saying anything..Caffeine before making a mess out of himself.
“What do you mean?”
Too late. He dug himself deeper into this.
“Well..” his back facingthem as the kettle was settled down to two mugs, the powdered mix adding hue tothe pouring hot water; “I am the Avatar of Sloth and I tend to take naps moreoften.. sleep, you know… waste ti—“
“No.”
“No?”
“Because any time with youaround is time spent worthwhile.~”
Bewildered with howcheerful a mortal could be despite their lifeline drawing thinner by everyshift there is on the hands of their own clock?
“I do not understand..”
Parting his lips to gentlysway the heat away from the cup, their hands touch as they reached out for thecup, something with their heat warmer than a hot cup of coffee could provide…and it is rushing towards his cheeks;
“Because I get to hear yousnore.~”
Excuse me??Snore..Have his human mistaken him for Beelzebub?
“I do not snore!”
“You do! And yousleeptalk.~”
“That’s another thing!”
Giggles turning tolaughter, made it all the more embarrassing should he, indeed, does snore. Hishuman was someone who could not lie convincingly, at least for someone who istrained efficiently to sniff the BS out of his brothers;
“I do not snore..”
“Yes you do!” And theyproceeded to imitate it.. or make it looklike he does..?
“Okay, that’s enough..otherwise, I would make sure you get to sleep first before I do.”
“Noooooooo” and theyproceeded to sip their cold coffee, preparing themselves for the battle on ‘who gets to stay awake longer to witness the other fall asleep’.

for the road (2/2) steve clark x reader
+++++++++
part 1 part 2
sorry this took so long, like i had mentioned in the other post, our internet cable was cut and it took a few days for it to get fixed. on top of that i had a few essay finals to finish and just didnt have time to get back to this. it is here now though and i hope you all like it!
she edited for the most part but if i missed anything, sorry, lol.
again i dont usually add songs from the artists to their own chapters but i think this one works pretty good with the story so youre getting it anyways lol
Song: stagefright by def leppard
tag list: @cynic-spirit @lifeisabitchandsoareyou
+++++++++
as soon as i turned around from locking the shop there was a taxi outside, parked on the curb with a woman leaning against it. she offered me a smile.
"are you y/n?"
she asked and i nodded.
"the band is waiting for you."
she said opening the door for me. i politely thanked her before sliding in and buckling the seat belt. the car smelled like apples, making me feel much less nervous than before. the ride to the venue was pretty silent though and i watched out the window as we passed by the tall city buildings. as the venue came into view my eyes got wide, i had never actually been to this part of town before. I looked at the venue in awe, it was much larger than the places I usually attended concerts at. the metal gates opened in front of us and she drove in, straight to the back doors. a large man in all black was waiting there with his arms held together in front of him. i was definitely back to being nervous again. he opened the door and peered down at me.
"You here for Steve?"
He asked and I nodded, pulling the ticket out of my pocket and showing it to him.
"yeah uh, he gave me this."
he looked over it before helping me out of the cab.
"Right this way."
He said, hand moving to be placed gently at my back as we walked inside the venue. I was a little unnerved at first, being alone with the man and all but marched along anyways. the halls were brightly lit as we walked, the white concrete shining against the floor tiles. i watched as roadies and crew members walked around us, gaining my attention as the man kept pushing me forward. When he reached a door at the end of the hall I smiled, seeing Steve sat against the couch's arm rest with his guitar in his hand.
"Here we are."
The man said, dropping his hand from my back and standing firmly beside the door. He never looked back at me as I stepped into the room shyly. I waved to the guys before Steve noticed me.
"Y/n!"
He said excitedly, standing and offering me a hug. I gladly took it before he escorted me to sit at the couch.
"Was the ride here alright?"
He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, for the most part. Thanks again for inviting me. I'm excited to see you guys play!"
I said, wide smile on my face.
"I'm happy to hear that, i really hope you like it. we've been working on something new for the set."
i made an impressed face.
"sounds exciting."
then i heard one of them laugh.
"you say that like shes seen our other sets."
he had darker curly hair.
"so?"
steve said sitting a little closer to me, his arm falling behind my back to rest on the couch.
"im sav."
the man offered his hand and i shook it.
"y/n."
steve cleared his throat.
"right, thats rick savage he plays bass, my partner in crime phill collen, plays guitar, rick allen who is our man behind the kit, and of course you already met and talked to joe elliot our lead singer."
they all offered hellos around the room as steve introduced them.
"its nice to officially meet you all, i appreciate you guys coming into the shop earlier. i put the record in the window after you left and six people stopped in to buy a copy."
i joked, making steve laugh lightly.
"happy to help."
sav said. then a man with a clip board and mic around his neck stepped in looking rushed.
"alright guys its time to mic up, its almost show time."
they all nodded before leaving the room one by one to follow the man.
"hey ive gotta go but ill be back right before the show starts so you can come with us to the side of the stage okay?"
i nodded as he stood.
"okay."
he touched my shoulder lightly before walking off. i sighed to myself for a second before getting up and walking around the room. it was super neat. the painted bricks were covered in signatures from all sorts of rock stars. they were littered about in varying colors of permanent marker, some of them with small messages and dates next to them. part of me wondered how long it would take to fill before they had to paint over it or start on a new set of walls. then i heard a knock at the door, it was steve with a guitar now around his neck.
"hey, you ready for the show?"
he asked with a wide smile.
"lead the way."
i said stepping out of the room and following him back down the hallway.
"so i know this isnt exactly date material but how are you so far?"
i let out a short laugh.
"im doing great, this is all fantastic."
he seemed content with that answer as we stepped up to the side of the stage.
"im glad to hear that. if you arent busy afterward would you maybe wanna go get something to eat? before we have to head out?"
i twisted my body a little in excitement, holding my hands in front of me, smiling like an idiot.
"id love that."
he touched my arm gently.
"great!"
i leaned forward and kissed his cheek lightly, making him blush.
"alright guys, showtime."
the man who had called them out earlier was back, ushering them into a line.
"ill be here when youre done."
i said, earning a nod from him. i watched as they all ran out one by one, the crowd screaming as the backtrack blared through the speakers. they all just lit up as they began playing, joe speaking into the microphone and asking how the crowd was feeling. it made be giggle, not being to contain my excitement anymore.
°°°°°°°°°
when the set was done steve was quick to get offstage and into a new set of clothes. he was all sweaty under the stage lights during the show so i could understand why. he had grabbed my hand and practically ran with me down the hall and out the back door, making me laugh. when we were in the cab i had arrived in he calmly told the woman where to take us, his arm making its way behind me to hold me around my waist. the drive to the late-night restaurant was filled with small conversation and light smiles, he really was an interesting person. when we pulled up he helped me out of the cab and walked with me on his arm inside.
"two?"
the waitress asked, him nodding and following her to a booth across the diner.
"so, what can i get you two to drink?"
she said, setting the menus down. i looked at her and smiled.
"coffee please."
she nodded and looked to steve who look at me a little curiously.
"two coffees i suppose."
he let out a short laugh before she walked away.
"its a little late for coffee dont you think?"
he asked, looking over the menu. i sent him a look.
"says the person who ordered one as well."
he laughed and shook his head.
"i guess we all have our vices huh?"
i smiled at him, looking over the menu.
"hey, ive been meaning to ask you-"
"you two ready or do you need some more time?"
i looked from steve to her.
"cheese fries please."
i said, handing her the menu as she wrote it down.
"same."
he said with a smile, handing her his menu too. she nodded before walking away.
"now, what was it that you wanted to ask?"
he folded his hands together and leaned into the table, giving me his full attention.
"well i was wondering what the rest of tonight would look like."
i laughed light heartedly.
"its not exactly like you guys are staying here. i know you said it was a date, and i really like you but i dont necessarily wanna have too much fun, ya know?"
he nodded slowly, the waitress bring us our food and us thanking her.
"ive kinda been thinking about that too. and i really like you too and would love for this to happen."
he motioned between the two of us.
"but i dont want to make you wait for me."
i laughed a little bit as i ate.
"i dont think id mind too much. waiting that is, ive been single this long its not like it would be much different."
i joked, making him smile at me as he took a drink.
"so, what? we do this? for real? keep in contact until tour is over and then what?"
i shrugged.
"we make it work."
i said matter-of-factly. he studied my face for a second.
"okay, so we're really doing this."
he said with a wide smile. i nodded.
"i guess we are."
then it hit me.
"oh, here!"
i grabbed one of the survey cards out of the napkin holder and began writing.
"heres the numbers you can reach me at. the top is my house and the bottom is the shop. if you need me ill be at either of those places."
he looked over it before folding it and stuffing it into his pocket.
"hopefully you dont get too tired of me before tour is over."
we both laughed.
"i dont think i will, if you wanna call everyday be my guest. id love to hear about the places you visit. makes my small corner of the world a little bit bigger."
he sent me a genuine, heart melting smile.
"then i will absolutely do that for you y/n."
we both finished our drinks and got up, taking the ticket to the register and him paying the waitress. we said our thanks before climbing back into the cab out front. the drive back to the venue was full of cuddles and soft touches, talking back and forth about what he would be doing and where he would be going in the next couple weeks. it all sounded so interesting and i wished i could go with him. when the cab came to a stop at the back door we both got out, his hands making their way to my waist as i leaned into the car.
"ill be looking forward to seeing you next month."
he said softly, pushing my hair out of my face.
"likewise."
i said back, looking over his face. he seemed so soft. his thumb grazed my cheek before he leaned down and kissed me gently. the moment our lips met i knew that was it. the wait would be worth it for sure. when he pulled away we both sighed as he rested his forehead against mine.
"ill for sure be looking forward to another one of those."
he joked, both of us smiling at each other like a couple of teenagers.
"well then, before we both have to go, heres one for the road."
i said before pushing forward quickly, kissing him again. it was deeper than before as he pulled me into him. i wanted to feel that forever. when the back door creaked open we both pulled away, it drawing his attention as the body guard stood there sternly.
"i guess thats my queue."
he grabbed my hands as he backed up, dropping them as he got further away. i watched him walk to the door, waving back to me before he was ushered inside. i covered my mouth for a second before bouncing up and down with excitement. i could wait a month, if that was the hardest part of this then surely i could handle it. and now i had tour adventure stories to look forward to. i smiled like an idiot as i slid back into the cab, telling her where to take me. i couldnt stop smiling the entire car ride. i couldnt wait for the month to be up.

def do not like rachel's i won't give up. it's not a bad performance, but that song is so beautiful and emotional and the context they used it in infuriates me because they could've done so much more with it.
Oohh! Interesting! Yeah - I think standing alone, I’d give it a B+, but that was the time in season 3 where if I heard one more angsty Rachel solo I was going to throw something, so I feel ya there!

Episode 10: The One with ANOTHER Moonlit Rooftop Moment
Still surrounded by dead bodies, guys. There is, unfortunately, an abundance of plot this time
But let’s slog through it BC OUR BOYS ARE WORTH IT
So right now we meet Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen, and Song Lan
Love ya guys, but we’re not here for you today
(even tho xxc is the most beautiful elf prince of a boy i’ve ever seen; no wonder xy gets all obsessed with him and song lan falls in love)
(yes, song lan and xxc are in love, no i will not be taking comments)
Moving on!
Plot plot, xy and xxc have a sword fight, plot plot
Oooh, wait there is an itty bitty piece of WangXiantics here
Wwx uses his Magic Rope of Binding/Bonding to reel XY in like a fish and proceeds to yank him about while he tries to have a sword fight with xxc
(NO ONE’S ALLOWED TO HAVE ROMANTIC SWORD FIGHTS IN THE MOONLIGHT EXCEPT ME AND LWJ -- wwx, probably)
So he does this, and then throws a little grin at lwj and teases “lan zhan, are you still bored?”
Ahhh, wwx, you might as well have shouted: LAN ZHAN, DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID? WASN’T THAT CLEVER? ISN’T MY INVENTION USEFUL?? AREN’T YOU IMPRESSED???
It’s okay, we all got the message anyway
Except maybe lwj bc he is still a Disaster Gay™ even if he now knows he is In Love and Soulmate’d for Life
I’d like to pause a moment to let you all know that wwx has a HILARIOUS 'disgust' reaction to xy.
Xy is all captured and xxc is all CONFESS and xy is all yeah okay i killed all those guys and it was fun
Wwx’s face gets all twisted up like when you smell something rotten
AND THEN DOES A FULL-BODY TWITCH AWAY FROM XY LIKE HE’S TRYING NOT TO PHYSICALLY PUKE 
IT’S SO FREAKING FUNNY
I mean i shouldn’t laugh bc that’s probably a reasonable reaction to a unhinged killer saying that murder is just a fun hobby of his, BUT GOD, I HAD TO REWIND AND SEE THAT REACTION PLAY OUT TWICE, I WAS CRACKING UP
Anyway
Xy is all tied up and captured and everybody talks plot stuff (after introducing themselves and doing the whole “wow, you’re awesome,” and “no, no, you’re awesome” thing)
Xy laughs because he’s a murderous lunatic and wwx is like “what’s so funny asshole”
Wwx is def posturing here
I think he’s threatened bc they have similar sense of fashion
Like, hell no, this murderous bastard is not gonna steal MY look
HE’S GIVING BLACK ROBES A BAD RAP, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!
Lwj: Give us the Plot Device
Xy: idk what you’re talking about bro. I just came out here to have a good time and attack people right now
Wwx: lan zhan, don’t bother talking to him!!
Yeah, wwx is DEFINITELY feeling threatened lol
Like, omg why is lwj listening to this guy? Why did he get closer to him and start talking to him? LWJ HE’S NOT AS PRETTY AS ME!! I LOOK BETTER IN BLACK ROBES, LWJ, STOP LOOKING AT HIM
Wwx: i’ll search him, here hold my sword
Lwj: *pointedly does not reach for wwx’s sword*
None of this is a euphemism guys, get your minds out of the gutter
Wwx: right right, i can search him AND hold my sword at the same time, nbd nbd
Wwx: *proceeds to molest xy*
and in that moment, all of us suddenly wished to be a murderous lunatic
Xy: woah there, mr. handsy, people will talk!!
Wwx: bro, i am the KING of gay chicken, don’t try me
MEANWHILE, lwj is watching all this go down very intently
WHATCHA LOOKING AT LWJ
WHAT’S THE MATTER
R U JEALOUS RN??
‘Nooo, that’s supposed to ME under wwx’s sexy wandering hands’ --lwj, probably
we feel your pain, bro
So that’s the first wangxian moment of the episode
Lwj being jealous again
Altho to be fair, i mean, anybody would be miffed watching their soulmate feel up someone Not Them, right?
Right.
Plot plot plotty NHS and Meng Yao appear conveniently plotty plot plot
Xxc and SL get invited to Qinghe to witness Justice Get Served to XY
Xxc: yeah no, we’re not doing that. Clan politics not really our scene
Xxc: we prefer to be alone together and travel the world, right, boyfriend, i mean Song Lan?
SL: *is handsome and stoic*
Then wwx has a Same Hat moment
Wwx: OH, US TOO, ME AND LAN ZHAN DO THAT TOO
Lwj: you should give us your contact details 
Lwj: in case we need you.
Lwj: for stuff.
LOOK AT LWJ BEING ALL SOCIABLE
I’M SO PROUD OF YOU BB
(he really did ask them how to reach them tho)
Lwj rightfully saw xxc & SL and thought, now there’s a gay couple i can bond with
Then the group splits up with XXC and SL go their own way
I mention this because we get a shot of LWJ staring longingly at the pair of them as they walk off
You know why?
You all know why
IT’S BC HE’S DAYDREAMING OF HIM AND WWX DOING WHAT THEY DO
JUST TRAVELING TOGETHER AND PUTTING GOOD INTO THE WORLD
*SOBSOB*
And then WWX breaks the daydream with a simple “let’s go?” and lwj just turns around and follows him with barely a pause
BC HE LOVES WWX AND WILL GO ANYWHERE HE WANTS!!!! 
We arrive at the Unclean Realm for Plot Reasons
Plot plot, NMJ makes a Badass Entrance, jc & wwx fanboy over him, plot
More plot stuff
More non-wangxian stuff
So much non-wangxian stuff
Why, show, why
Foreshadowing Plot Stuff
AND WE’RE AT THE 30 MINUTE MARK OF THE EPISODE WHEN WE FINALLY GET A SUBSTANTIAL WANGXIAN SCENE
OH GOD, IT TOOK SO LONG
I ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE IT GUYS
BUT HERE I AM!!!
Okay, okay *deep breath* we’re good now
WWX IS ON A ROOF!!
RIGHT NEXT TO LWJ’S ROOM!!!
Bc he’s drunk and can’t find his way back to his own rooms so he thought sleeping on the roof was a good option?? JOIN A HELP GROUP, WWX
LWJ was peacefully meditating in his room and when there arose such a clatter that he had to grab bichen and was ready to cut a bitch
But just kidding! bc he hears wwx’s voice and immediately relaxes
Wwx: these roof tiles are much rougher than the ones in gusu, so rocky, so uncomfy
He says this as if it was done to purposely inconvenience him specifically
Again, he’s drunk here guys
But he’s a poetic drunk!!
Wwx: the world is a room, i’ll take the sky as my quilt and the ground as my bed
A very pretty way of saying I CAN’T FIND MY ROOM, GUESS I’LL SLEEP OUTSIDE
Wwx then shows us that he can’t drink properly from a jar of wine and just pours it into his mouth and sloshes half of it down his neck and on his clothes
Ooooh, but that’s a nice shot of his jawline
And oooh, his neck’s all glistening now
I APPROVE
I APPROVE VERY MUCH
And then ~THEIR SONG~ STARTS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND as lwj exits his rooms and walks outside to see wwx lounging on the rooftop like a particularly handsome raccoon or smth
Wwx: lan zhan, i’ll sleep on your roof tonight *passes out drunk but in a ridiculously cute way*
FOR REAL, HE JUST SPRAWLS OUT ON THE ROOF AND THEN ~GENTLY~ LEANS HIS HEAD ON HIS HIS HAND AND DRIFTS OFF ANGELICALLY
STOP BEING SO CUTE WWX
LWJ: wei ying, i have to go
He says SOFTLY and with LOVE and then PROCEEDS TO ABANDON HIS SOULMATE TO GO OFF AND DO STUPID PLOT THINGS
But guys, it was still beautiful
He says that and EVERYTHING goes all slo-mo as he walks away
I mean, the shot of him walking away is done so that we can see wwx perched on the rooftop above him and lwj does that stately strut he has
And then the camera gives us a shot of wwx’s face as the WIND GENTLY RUSTLES HIS HAIR
STILL IN SLO MO
WITH ~THEIR SONG~
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ugh gross, this beautiful scene is followed up by that wen chao 
Plot plot
Suddenly a wen vs. nie battle is happening
For Plot Reasons, blegh
Omg so many Dramatic Twirls everywhere
Okay, okay, unfortunately we gotta listen to Wen Chao for a moment to get a breadcrumb’s worth of wangxian here
Wc: hey, wwx, since you’re ~sooo~ interested in GusuLan stuff, let me tell you something
Wc: *proceeds to brag about his big brother destroying the cloud recesses*
(even the bad guys know wwx and lwj are obsessed with each other, YOU’RE NOT SUBTLE BOYS)
Wc: if lwj manages to make it home, he’s gonna find it in ruins!!
(seriously FUCK THIS GUY)
Wwx: *the most ferocious glare we’ve seen him do so far*
Looks like somebody just won first place in wwx’s shit list
Then more plot stuff happens, we see nmj and meng yao break up, blah blah blah
And that’s the end of ep10!!!
This was...so hard, guys. So difficult. A trial, even. I had to wait for an ENTIRE HALF-HOUR TO GET A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF WANGXIAN PIE. 
I mean, yeah, i got to see xxc’s beautiful face, but GOD, AT WHAT COST??
Also, are you guys starting to notice a Thing about rooftops?
Because it’s there.
We’re def gonna have more Rooftop Moments
Stay tuned!

emily (part one)
Tumblr media
Of course she had feelings for him. How could she not? Van was fucking perfect. But she didn’t want to tell him that. Emily was so used to being alone mostly, only casually dating guys, cutting things off if it seemed like too much. And she really, really didn’t want to let him in. But Van was doing his best to work his way into her life.
word count: 11k+ 
warnings: language, some smut, drug use etc
notes: i am so so sorry that it took me this long to post!!! i’ve honestly been just kind of relaxing since finals ended and it took me a while to edit but here is part one! also this isn’t a song fic i just didn’t know what else to name it hahaha and this is def not my fav story but it was the first piece i wrote so here ya go :)
Emily always loved parties. She loved them in high school and even more so now that she was a few years into college. Although she didn’t prefer to be the life of the party per se - she wasn’t quite outgoing enough - she just loved the atmosphere. All of the people drinking too much, dancing, making mistakes and living out their youth. Her mother always gave her the same disappointed look when she went out on a Saturday night in high school. Emily would roll her eyes, grab her jacket, and groan, “Mom, don’t look at me like that.” Emily’s mom would just shake her head and mutter something about how at least she had good grades. 
Tonight was no different. It was the last Saturday before fall semester started, the last chance to let loose before classes and endless schoolwork began. Emily sat in front of her bathroom mirror, applying mascara while her friend Mary fumbled around with the speaker. “Mary, I’m dying in this silence. What the fuck are you doing with that thing?”
Mary let out a frustrated groan. “The bluetooth isn’t working. I swear I’m gonna fucking break it!” Suddenly rap music started blasting from the small speaker. Mary let out a little scream which drew a chuckle from Emily. “Finally,” Mary muttered. She slid into the bathroom behind Emily, plugging in her curling iron. 
“I can’t believe summer’s over already,” Emily said, finishing up her highlighter. She gave herself one last glance in the mirror and figured she looked good enough. It was still so hot being early September she couldn’t even think about wearing a jacket, especially knowing how hot the frat houses would be. 
“Ugh, I know. And we only have one year left after this!” Mary whined. Both Mary and Emily were juniors at their college while their other roommates were all sophomores. This led to them feeling really old and nostalgic often, even though they were really only halfway through their college career. Carson, one of their younger roommates, always teased them about being old women. Mary and Emily would object to this immediately, of course, putting up a fight about how they couldn’t even legally drink yet. 
Emily nodded sadly in agreement, spraying on a little perfume. She left the bathroom and ran down the stairs, tightening the little pigtails she had put in for the half-up look she was digging lately. 
Carson and Spencer, the other roommates, were all downstairs drinking already. They were playing some video game and occasionally shouting at it. Just as Emily passed the door at the bottom of the steps, it opened. Emily jumped, laughing when she saw it was Spencer’s girlfriend, Sarah. “You scared the shit out of me!” Emily said as Sarah giggled too.
“My bad,” Sarah said. She walked in, taking a seat right next to Spencer who wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning over to kiss her. The two were high school sweethearts and very much in love, which disgusted pretty much everyone else in the apartment. But they were cute and so happy together that the rest of their friends put up with them.
“Hi babe,” Spencer said, kissing her one more time before going back to playing. Emily fixed herself a drink and hoped to get a little buzzed by the time they left.
---
The party was in full force by the time the five of them arrived. Emily did manage to get a decent buzz going which helped when she looked around at the disgusting scene of the party. Frat parties were like no other, people grinding throughout the whole dance floor, couples making out wherever they wanted, and the floor was always sticky. Emily and Mary snagged a couple drinks from the makeshift bar in the kitchen that was really just the island and made their way into the dance floor. The DJ was playing very questionable music which was annoying to Emily since her favorite thing about parties was dancing. 
Despite the shitty music that consisted of mostly shitty remixes, Emily and Mary danced hard to every song. After a few minutes, they bumped into a few people they knew who were complaining about the summer ending. They chatted for a bit, trying to discuss their upcoming schedules for the school year when they were interrupted by someone on a microphone. “Alright so clearly, Dylan here sucks as a DJ. This was his tryout and he failed. So my boy Max is gonna take over!” The crowd cheered and Emily almost felt bad for poor Dylan until the new DJ started playing some really good throwback songs. Immediately, Emily and Mary felt much better, dancing way harder and sweating even more. The other thing about frat parties is they were always so fucking hot. 
Emily noticed that Carson seemed to be interested in this really short girl near them, which was pretty funny because Carson was 6’5. She was happy to see him lean down and start talking to her, and within a few minutes she was standing in front of him somehow managing to dance despite the height difference. Looking around, there were definitely a few attractive guys but none that particularly stuck out to Emily. Oh well, the night’s early. 
After a few minutes, Emily’s hair started sticking to the side of her face and she knew she needed a break. “Do you wanna take a shot?” Emily shouted at Mary who nodded eagerly. The two trekked through the crowd, weaving their way through all the sweaty people. They reached the bar, passing Spencer and Sarah in the corner, giggling to themselves. “Do you guys have tequila?” Emily shouted at the bartender who nodded. She put up two fingers and smiled, “thanks!” He poured some tequila into two dixie cups and shoved them over.
“Tequila? You’ve got to be out of your mind, love.” Emily nearly choked on the shot in surprise. Love? She managed to swallow again and looked to her right. Leaning against the wall was a tall, almost ridiculously attractive man. His large hand engulfed the red solo cup that he took a sip out of. He pushed his hair back with the other hand, leaving it annoyingly perfectly tousled. He smirked at Emily. 
“What’s wrong with tequila?” she questioned, leaning on the bar with one hand. 
The guy wrinkled his nose. “Can’t stand the stuff. Got real fucked off it one night and well, y’know.” 
“Yeah, that’ll happen. One of my friends took a shot of it once and then threw up all over the dude next to her,” Emily laughed.
The guy chuckled and took another sip. “Glad you didn’t do that to me.” Emily couldn’t help but marvel over his accent. Definitely British - plus the whole ‘love’ thing. She also wondered how the hell he was wearing a button down shirt and jeans with how hot it was in the house. 
“Yeah that’d be fucking disgusting,” Emily snorted. More people were trying to come into the kitchen for drinks plus it was obnoxiously loud, which meant she had to move a little closer to the random guy. She realized she could have just left the crowded area but for some reason she didn’t want to. 
“I’m gonna go back,” Mary stepped over to say. She had been talking to the bartender but she just shot Emily a smile and headed out. 
“So what’s your name then?” The guy asked, bringing Emily’s attention back. She leaned up against the wall next to him.
“Emily.”
“I’m Van,” he stated with a grin. Van? Emily thought, weird name. 
“Like Van Morrison or what?” she shot back. He chuckled and nodded. 
“Exactly.” Emily wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol or if this guy really was that attractive but she knew she didn’t want to leave him yet. His eyes were so mischievous and his smile was so cute she just felt she had to get to know him better. 
Van just sipped his drink again and Emily wondered why he’d even been standing here alone in the first place. “Sooo... you wanna take a shot with me?” Emily smirked. 
Van scoffed in response. “Oh, of tequila I suppose?” Emily nodded. “Alright then, I guess so. Hey, Ryan could we get two shots of tequila?” he directed at the bartender who nodded.
“Yeah, I got you.” Van pushed off his place from the wall and Emily followed, moving right next to him on the bar. Ryan poured the shots and pushed them across the counter. 
“Thanks, mate,” Van said before letting out a sigh. “Why am I doing this again?” he laughed. 
Emily shrugged. “For me, I guess?” Van debated this and then nodded. 
“Yeah, guess so. Alright, cheers,” he muttered before he and Emily downed their shots. Van cringed, making a nauseated face. “Fucking disgustin’.” 
Emily laughed, feeling pleased with herself for being able to drink it so easily. “What’s your drink of choice, then?”
“I dunno, probably just a beer. Or maybe vodka,” Van replied. He caught the bartender’s attention again and motioned for two regular drinks. More people were trying to come into the kitchen, nearly shoving the two out of the way. Emily quickly grabbed the drinks from the bartender. “Shit,” Van mumbled when a guy bumped into him, bringing his hand to the small of Emily’s back and gently pushing her back to the wall so they could lean again. 
“So you’re British, right?” Emily questioned, handing him his drink. 
“Yeah, I’m from Wales, moved here for school though.” He nodded his head along to the song which was actually quite good. Max was doing much better as the DJ. 
“And why’d you come here?”
Van shrugged. “I dunno, I really always wanted to come to the states, I suppose. Actually one of my good mates from back home was close with a guy who came here for uni and he made it sound so amazing I thought, fuck it why not try it out? And course I love it ‘ere,” he rambled then looked down at Emily who was smiling softly up at him. Was it the tequila? Or did he somehow even hotter? Emily wanted to jump him right there. “What about you, where are you from?” Wow, his eyes are so fucking blue. And those eyelashes… Emily felt all squirmy as he stared down at her. 
Emily laughed. “You’ll never guess.” 
“Oh, bet I will. You’re from… New York.” Was he leaning closer to her? 
“Nope.” He definitely was. 
“Texas?” Was he?
“Nope.” He smelled so good. How did he smell that good in a grimy, nasty frat party? 
“Okay, I give in. Tell me,” Van grinned.
“Minnesota,” Emily replied, letting out a laugh at his raised eyebrows. 
“Wow, I never would’ve guessed that. I can’t say I’ve ever met someone from Minnesota, don’t think. The place with all the snow, yeah?” 
Emily continued sipping on her drink. “Exactly.” Van shook his head, probably in disbelief. 
“And what are you doing in California?” he mused. 
Emily couldn’t help but just stare at him. God, he was fucking hot. He kept pushing back his hair or tucking a little bit behind his ear, which of course was golden brown and a little longer like she loved, curling up at the bottom of his neck. “This is a really good school. Plus, it’s always warm and the beaches are just,” she leaned her head back thinking about them, “amazing. And the parties, come on.” 
Van chuckled, nodding in agreement. “Makes sense. So what year are you then?”
“I’m a junior. You?”
“Ah, well I’m actually on exchange here. I’m in my second year here, so what a sophomore? And I’ll go back and finish the other two years back in the UK.” So he was younger than her? Surprising.
“Ah so you’re young still,” Emily smiled. 
“Yeah, but I love an older woman,” Van smirked and took a drink. Jesus. 
The two continued to talk for quite a while, bantering back and forth and refilling their drinks a few times as well. They continued to move closer to each other as well, nearly pressed up against one another until Van shot out the age old question: “Do you wanna dance?” Emily nodded and grabbed his hand, leading him through the kitchen back out to the dance floor which was still lively. By now, even more people were making out and things were somehow even messier. 
Emily was solidly drunk by now so she really didn’t care what was going on around her. She shot Van a small smile before turning around and pressing up against him. His hands immediately dropped to her waist, bringing her in closer. He was so warm and so much taller than her and Emily loved it. The alcohol definitely helped as she grinded on Van, him gripping her hips tightly. They danced together so well and they had a lot of fun too, singing along to the music. At one point, Emily felt Van’s breath on her neck and she almost couldn’t take it. She was about to turn around and kiss him, honestly, when he whispered in her ear, “Do you wanna come outside with me?” She nodded and he slipped his hand down to hers, interlocking their fingers and leading her around the kitchen and up the flight of stairs - she didn’t even know there was another floor in this house - past a few stray couples to a balcony. Van pushed open the door. “After you,” he gestured. 
Emily stepped out into the balcony, glad to finally be away from the hot, sticky air inside the house. She tilted her head back and breathed, leaning her arms on the edge of the balcony. She heard the door shut and then turned to see Van fishing through his back pocket. She was surprised to see him pull out a pack of cigarettes. He put one in his mouth and then dug around more in the pocket of his black jeans for a lighter. Emily watched him light it so carefully, putting one hand near the end so the wind wouldn’t blow it out. He took a long inhale, his cheekbones sucking in and Emily couldn’t help but look at his lips wrapped around the end. Van kept the cigarette in his mouth, exhaling while he spoke. “Want one?” He asked Emily.
She shook her head. “No, I’m good. I’m kinda surprised you smoke,” she stated, continuing to watch him without really caring. Van looked exponentially hotter while smoking a cigarette, she decided. 
He took another long inhale before finally pulling it from his mouth. He blew out a long stream of smoke, making sure it was away from Emily. “I know, it’s a nasty habit. But everyone back home smokes and I just couldn’t bring myself to stop.” Van laughed, looking over at Emily. They were standing really close, sides pressed up against each other. Tingles ran through Emily’s body at every place they touched.
Emily bit her lip. “Could I just actually take a hit of yours?” Nothing wrong with a little drunk cigarette right? Plus, when someone of his caliber was offering… Van nodded, taking one more long drag and to Emily’s surprise, bringing the cigarette right up to her lips. She couldn’t inhale nearly as long as Van so she didn’t try to. She figured if she hadn’t been as drunk as she was, she probably would’ve coughed too. Vans finger grazed her bottom lip as he pulled it away, smirking. Emily felt like her skin was melting off. 
He put it back in between his lips and gave it a few more long pulls before finishing it. There was even a spot for cigarette butts and the ends of joints on the balcony so Van tossed it in there. The two looked out on the balcony which had a pretty spectacular view. A few blocks away, they could see the ocean. Some people on the street below were stumbling out of the party and laughing or screaming. It was like something out of a movie. The music could still be heard, though it was muffled. Van sang along to an old Fall Out Boy song quitely, nodding his head to the beat and Emily couldn’t help but be impressed. “You’re like, good,” she mumbled, turning to look at him, resting her head onto one of her hands.
Van chuckled. “Eh, not really but thanks.”
He looked down at her and Emily’s stomach jumped. Without even thinking about it twice, Emily leaned up and kissed him. Van kissed her back immediately, dropping his hands to her waist. Emily wrapped her hands around his neck, curling her fingers into the ends of his hair. She felt a little bit of stubble scratch her face and she wasn’t sure if it was from the alcohol or just how attractive he was but fuck, Van was a really good kisser. He tasted like tequila and smoke and bad decisions. Emily nearly melted in his touch as he pulled her even closer. She felt so small as he pressed her against the edge of the balcony, towering over her, his hips digging into her stomach. Emily gently bit his bottom lip and a little noise emerged from Van’s throat, which caused Emily to let out a little giggle.
“What?” Van whispered, pulling away and resting his forehead against hers. She stared up at him, unable to hide her grin. She leaned in and just kissed him again lightly, for a few seconds. His hands moved up to cup her face, moving her hair behind her ear. Their lips moved slowly before Emily pulled away and leaned her head onto his chest. She breathed in - maybe a little too deep - but Van didn’t say anything, just wrapped his arms around her waist. “You wanna go somewhere?”
Emily leaned back and gazed up at him. Her vision was a little clouded but she was mesmerized by the way his eyelashes framed his eyes that were so light blue it wasn’t even fair to the rest of the world. “Yeah,” she replied, biting back a smile. Van shot her a small smile back, revealing the tiniest dimple. He reached down and intertwined their fingers, pulling Emily behind him. He led her down the stairs, through the house, nodding ‘hi’ to a few people all while keeping their hands tight to his back. At one point, someone cut in front of Van causing him to abruptly stop, which meant Emily ran right into his back. “Oof”, she muttered as Van chuckled, rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand. They finally reached the back door, a cloud of smoke coming along with them. 
“Fuck, think I just got stoned too,” Van laughed as he and Emily stumbled onto the street. Emily giggled, agreeing with him. 
“So where are we going?” she questioned, holding his arm and leaning on him. Van slung an arm around Emily’s shoulders, keeping her close as they walked down the sidewalk, narrowly avoiding crying girls and guys who looked like they were about to vomit in the street. Van reached into his pocket and squinted at his phone, then slid it back and exchanged it for another cigarette. He lit it with one hand, keeping the other around Emily.
“You hungry or anything, love?”
Emily debated this. Of course she was hungry. There was nothing better than some drunk food plus she hadn’t eaten in many, many hours. But usually when you leave with a guy he just wants to take you straight to his place, not stop for food. “Yeah, I kinda am. Is that okay?”
Van chuckled, “‘Course, I’m quite hungry as well. Where do ya reckon we should go?”
And that’s how the pair ended up in a McDonalds at 1 AM, stuffing their faces with french fries and chicken nuggets. They were probably too drunk to be in public but honestly, so was everyone else. This McDonalds was notorious for being the place students went to after parties or bars because it was open 24 hours and in the perfect location. 
“So ya were pretty hungry then,” Van laughed, nudging Emily’s foot and causing her to giggle. She had barely even spoken to him since she got her Happy Meal. 
“Yeah, I guess so. I realize I didn’t eat dinner,” Emily paused and thought about it, “or lunch.”
“That’s terrible.” Van shook his head. He leaned back stretching an arm out on the back of the booth. Emily just shrugged and sipped on her Sprite. 
He finished his food almost right away and Emily was kind of impressed. “You know, you don’t really look like a frat boy or anything,” Emily blurted out, leaning forward on her hand. 
Van smirked. “Oh you don’t think so do ya?” Emily furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head. “Nah, I’m not in one. My roommate last year pledged and then I became quite close to ‘em all, they’re all pretty good lads. Only thing that sucks is I couldn’t live in the house with ‘em.” 
“So where do you live?”
Van motioned his head backwards. “A couple blocks that way, I got one roommate and he’s alright, not real close to him or anything but he stays out of my shit which I like. Plus he’s always willing to share his weed so can’t really go wrong there I s’pose,” Van rambled on, waving his hands around. He was so animated when he spoke. Emily was trying to figure out of it was the alcohol or if he always babbled like this. Either way, she loved listening to him talk, loved the way his account sounded so thick when forming certain words. 
“Mhmm. So do you think I should just go back home or…?” Emily was still pretty drunk and so was Van, meaning if one of them didn’t make a move soon they’d probably just pass out in the booth. 
“Uh, if you want but I was gonna offer you to come to mine, if you wanted,” Van said seriously, his voice seeming to lower a bit. 
Emily nodded, “Yeah, sure.” So the two continued to roam the streets, hand in hand and laughing with each other until Van brought them to an apartment building. He dug around in his pockets to grab his key and once they reached the elevator, Emily couldn’t help but lean up and kiss him. He was slightly surprised but he kissed her back eagerly, only pulling away once the elevator doors opened to reveal an angry looking older guy. Emily and Van tried to stifle their giggles as he rolled his eyes and pushed past them. “Oops, he looked fucking pissed.”
Van fumbled with his keys, trying to unlock the apartment door for a good few seconds. “Christ,” Van mumbled, finally pushing it open and letting Emily go in. His hand rested on her lower back, leading her into the living room first. It was small and a little messy but considering only two college guys were living there, the apartment wasn’t terrible. “Want any water or anything, love?” Van asked, walking into the kitchen and flicking on the light as Emily plopped down on the couch.
“I’m okay, thanks.” She couldn’t help but pull the soft blanket that was on the back of the couch over herself as she stretched out, leaning her head back. She heard some banging in the kitchen and wondered what Van could be doing. 
After a few minutes, Van turned the kitchen light off and came back into the living room, chuckling. “You look comfy,” Van mumbled, sitting on the end of the couch a few inches from Emily, his right ankle resting on his left knee. Emily set her phone down and held back a yawn. She nodded, looking at him and waiting to see what he was going to do. Van almost seemed to be avoiding eye contact, picking at his nails. He was nervous. Emily found it adorable.
Emily pondered the situation for a few minutes. She knew she was going to lose her buzz soon - the opposite of what she wanted in this moment. Yeah, she was tired and comfortable under the fuzzy blanket but she was also inside a hot British guy’s apartment, alone with him on the couch. She would be insane to not make a move. 
“Come here,” she mumbled, reaching her hands out and motioning for Van. The corners of his mouth lifted up as he scooted closer, Emily moving her legs slightly so he could fit right next to her. Emily bit her bottom lip slightly, smiling. 
Van finally leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, ever so slowly. She reached up and put her arms around his neck, tugging at his hair. Van moved the blanket over a little and started rubbing the inside of her thigh gently, his other hand on her waist. Emily tried kissing him faster but Van seemed insistent on keeping it agonizingly slow, his tongue moving into her mouth teasingly. Emily let out a little whine which made him chuckle against her lips. “Hm?” 
Emily decided to take matters into her own hands, pulling back and lifting Van’s hands off her, then pushed him back so he was laying on the couch. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do since he was clearly a lot bigger than her but he seemed to like it when she straddled him, putting her hands on his chest. “You’re killing me,” she whispered, leaning down and pressing a kiss on his neck. Van’s eyes fluttered shut, bringing his hands to her waist, rubbing her sides up and down gently. She leaned to the other side, hair brushing along Van’s nose but he didn’t seem bothered as he let out the smallest moan. Emily started kissing down Van’s neck, not hard enough to leave a mark but hard enough to make him squirm. She pressed kisses up his neck and across his jaw and then was about to switch back to the other side when Van leaned forward, pushing her back again and kissing her hard. Fucking finally. Van’s hands were moving everywhere and Emily could tell he was worked up, meaning her plan was successful. 
“Should we go to my-”
“Yes,” Emily cut him off immediately. She climbed off him and let Van lead her to his bedroom. He shut the door and quickly pulled some clothes off the bed, tossing them in the corner. Other than that, his bed was made nicely and he even had some cute fairy lights plugged in. Emily wasted no time crawling onto the bed and pulling Van on top of her, pressing her lips to his immediately. Eventually, Emily brought her fingers to the buttons on Van’s shirt, slowly undoing them. Van started edging his hands up Emily’s shirt slowly, nearly leaving burn marks on her skin and she pulled away, tugging her shirt over her head immediately. This drew a slight chuckle from Van as he looked down at her, biting his lip. 
“Christ,” Van muttered, leaning back down to kiss Emily again. 
---
“Oh my god, Mary turn that fucking thing off,” Emily mumbled, curling up tighter in bed. Of course her alarm would be going off so early even though it was the weekend.
“Sorry, love, forgot to turn it off. ‘M not Mary, though.” Emily opened her eyes and had to think for a second before she remembered where she was. That’s embarrassing. She was currently lying underneath Van, her arms wrapped around his neck as he leaned carefully over her to turn the alarm off on his phone. He shut it off and then laid back on Emily’s shoulder. “But that is me mum’s name.”
Emily snorted, rubbing her eyes carefully. “I must’ve slept like, really hard,” she muttered. Van buried his head closer to her neck, sighing softly. He mumbled something, probably in agreement.
Emily closed her eyes again and replayed the events back in her head. They didn’t end up having sex, which definitely surprised her. There was some hand stuff and whatnot but that was about it before they went to bed - except Van was being exceptionally cuddly and touchy. “What time is it?” She asked.
“‘Round nine,” Van replied, “you have a cute morning voice, y’know. All scratchy.”
“Mm, thanks,” Emily smiled. “I think I have to get going though.” 
Van shifted a little bit so he was laying on his side next to her, putting an arm across her stomach and pulling her a little closer. “Why’s that?”
“I work at 11.” He looked almost disappointed. 
“Oh, alright. Too bad.” Emily laid next to him for a bit, trying to not make it seem like she was ditching him right away but she felt like she probably should get up soon. 
She cleared her throat, “Yeah, I gotta get going.” She snuck out from under Van’s arm and sat on the end of the bed, reaching for her shirt. She slipped it on and scanned for her jeans too. She spotted them hanging off the corner of the bed, so she grabbed them and slipped them on, then grabbed her phone off the bedside table and looked at a few of the notifications. Emily could feel Van’s eyes on her but she tried to play it off. She sighed, shoving her phone in her pocket. 
Van moved to sit on the edge of the bed, still only wearing his underwear. He reached forward and grabbed Emily’s hand, tugging her down close to kiss him. She pulled away after a few seconds and looked down, “Well, thanks for the fun night but I really don’t wanna be late,” she said, glancing up into Van’s eyes. His eyebrows were furrowed and he still looked sleepy and cute, which was making this more difficult. 
“Um, yeah I had a really nice night with ya. Could I get your phone number or somethin’ then?”
“Oh yeah, here,” Emily murmured, handing him her phone with her Snapchat open so he could type in his username. Van handed it back and stood up, bringing his hand to her lower back. 
“I’ll walk you out, love.” Van guided her to his front door before resting an arm against it and leaning down to kiss her. “See you soon, then, Emily.” He gave her a sleepy smile, hair messy and cheeks flushed.
“Bye,” Emily replied, staring at his eyes for a second before slipping out the door. 
---
Emily nearly threw up when she walked outside and looked up at the sun. It was way too bright and too nice out for how she was feeling. She realized Van’s apartment was actually really close to hers, so she just decided to walk home rather than pay for an Uber. 
She pulled out her phone and ignored the many texts she had missed, instead immediately calling Mary. “Pick up,” she mumbled. 
After it rang a few times, Mary’s morning voice came through the speaker. “Oh my god, hey,” she mumbled. 
“Hi,” Emily laughed, crossing the street. “I’m on my way home now.”
“Already? I kinda thought you were really into this guy so I thought maybe there’d be a little morning  action,” Mary chuckled. 
Emily bit her lip. “Yeah, he was cool but I didn’t wanna stay there forever, you know. I told him I had to work at 11.”
“Ah, okay. Well, I’m in bed so just come cuddle with me and you can tell me about it,” Mary replied with a yawn. 
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Emily was climbing the stairs and hopping into Mary’s bed. The shades were still drawn and it was nice and dark. “So what happened to you last night?” Emily started. 
Mary buried her head in her pillow. “I don’t wanna talk about it.”
“Mary, you didn’t.”
“I did,” she sighed. Mary had a habit of almost always hooking up with her ex, JJ when she was drunk. Well, and when she was sober too. It always went like this: JJ would text Mary about how he missed her, she’d go to his place, and then he’d text her the next day that he was glad they got to see each other one last time. This had happened probably ten times, at least. 
“Why do you do this? He treated you so bad,” Emily replied. Which was true. JJ and Mary met freshman year and dated until about halfway through sophomore year until she found out he had been cheating on her with multiple girls in the sister sorority to his fraternity. 
Mary groaned. “I don’t know, I can’t help it. Whatever, let’s stop talking about me and talk about you and this hot British guy.” 
Emily tried to hold back a smile. “Um, yeah. So his name is Van, he’s like, an exchange student here. Very nice, funny. And he was hot.” Mary looked so eager to hear more about him. “What?” Emily laughed. 
“What, that’s it? Give me details.”
“Okay, okay. So basically last night we ended up dancing and then he took me out on the balcony at the house, we like made out there and then we left and stopped at McDonalds,” Emily laughed, “and then he invited me to his place which is like very close to here.” 
“And?”
“And that was pretty much it. We didn’t have sex, just like other stuff you know.”
Mary raised her eyebrows. “Oh, really? Why not?”
Emily debated this. She wasn’t even sure herself. “Um, I don’t know, he seemed like he didn’t really want to, honestly. Like he was… really into doing other stuff and like never brought it up and I just kind of went with it.”
“Do you think he was a virgin or-”
“No, definitely not,” Emily cut Mary off. “He was way too good at everything. It’s hard to say, I guess.”
“So are you gonna keep talking to him or what?”
Emily shrugged. “Um, I don’t know. I would probably hook up with him again, y’know, but I don’t know. I’m not gonna reach out to him first. He’s cool, but like, you know.” 
Mary nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that makes sense. Do you think he’ll message you?”
“Honestly, probably. He was like, very cuddly and stuff which was just weird. Guys are usually so not like that.” 
“Yeah, definitely. Well, I’m probably gonna go back to bed for a little bit honestly, I feel like shit,” Mary chuckled, pulling her blankets up to her chin. 
Emily laughed, “Yeah, I’m gonna shower and then go back to bed too.”
A few hours later, Emily was still lying in bed when her phone buzzed. She had just woken up from a nap and by now it was around 1 PM. She grabbed her phone off the night stand and almost dropped it when she saw the notification that read “van is typing”. “Shit,” she muttered to herself. After a minute or two, she got a message from Van. Emily tried to ignore it, going and checking her other social media for a while. She eventually decided to text Mary and have her come into her room and help, depending on what Van had said. 
“Okay, open it.”
Mary sat next to Emily on her bed, waiting. “It’s a chat,” Emily said. 
hi emily just wanted to let you know i had a really good time last night. glad to have met you and i hope i can see you again soon xx
“Oh shit,” Emily murmured. 
Mary nearly snorted. “So he’s definitely into you. I don’t even know what you say back to that.” Emily groaned, flopping back on her bed. 
“I don’t know either. The thing is I don’t wanna, like date him, obviously but maybe I should just talk to him a little bit and we could hang out in the future.”
 “Yeah, so true.”
Emily began typing her response.
yeah i had a good time too :) 
“I’m just gonna leave it at that.” Mary nodded, approving.
A few minutes later, Van replied, asking how work was. Of course, Emily had almost forgotten that she told him she was working, so she had to come up with a fake reply about it being boring. Van continued to respond fairly quickly, asking her questions about her job and then about school, and other things like that. Emily would reply, albeit not super enthusiastically, keeping the conversation going at least. 
This went on for a few days. Classes started but Van continued to message Emily, switching over to pictures. Emily would open his Snapchats and bite her lip, because of course he always looked really good in them without even trying. He was really, really attractive. And he was so funny, too. He often made jokes that made Emily giggle while she was alone in bed at night. But she tried not to let this affect her. 
It wasn’t until Thursday afternoon that Van hinted he wanted to hang out again. Emily was just about to start getting ready to go out with some friends.
what are you up to tonight? x 
Van always ended his messages with an x. Must be a British thing. 
i’m going to bars w some friends. are u going out? 
Emily bumped her head along to the music Mary was playing as she slipped on her jeans. 
think so. where ya heading? x
Emily responded with the names of a few bars she and her friends had discussed they were going to stop at. At around nine o’clock, Van responded with an adorable picture of him smiling, beer in hand. 
Emily looked at it for a few moments before replying with a picture of herself drinking her own mixed drink. She wondered if she’d see him out. 
---
About two hours later, she didn’t have to wonder anymore. Emily, Mary, and Carson finally got into their favorite bar after having to wait outside a while. The place was packed, so Emily didn’t see Van right away.
“Thought I might see ya here.” Emily was leaning on the bar, credit card in hand and waiting to order. She looked up to see Van next to her, looking ridiculously attractive, of course. His hair was pushed back, looking perfectly messy and he was wearing all black, just like her but he just had on a crew neck sweatshirt with his black jeans. He had a nearly empty cup in his hand and his eye was nearly twinkling as well. 
“Yeah, me too,” Emily replied. She was a little drunk by now, already having pregamed and been to one other bar for a few drinks. 
“Let me get you a drink, love,” Van said, setting his cup down and reaching into his pocket for his wallet. 
“Oh, no you don’t have to.”
 Van shook his head immediately. “What are you drinking?” 
So Emily was caught in a bit of a tough situation. She had to stand by the bar waiting for the drink which meant she had to talk to Van. It was a little weird, after only texting back and forth for the past week. But she was still extremely attracted to him, of course. After the drinks arrived and they cheersed, Emily said, “I should probably get back to my friends,” she gestured to Mary and Carson who were laughing across the bar, “but I’ll see you later?” 
Van looked a little disappointed, his eyebrows furrowed. “Yeah, yeah, sure. I’m probably staying here for a while, so.” Emily smiled and walked away. 
“Wait, is that the British guy?” Carson questioned as soon as Emily was near them. She nodded. “Actually, my buddies in Theta Chi have mentioned a dude from England. Bet that’s him.”
“Yeah, probably.”
“Now that I’m thinking about it, Lenny and Miller are like, really tight with him. They said he’s like, super funny and a really good guy.”
Emily leaned her head back and groaned. “Don’t say that shit to me.” Carson just laughed, knowing how she was. Emily was never one to get feelings involved with the guys she saw. It was too messy. 
“I think he’s slightly attached already,” Mary pointed out. Emily shrugged, trying not to think about him. 
But of course, an hour later, Van was all she could think about. Funny what alcohol will do to you. It was after midnight now, and Emily was scanning through the bar for his tall, lanky figure but she couldn’t see him. “I wonder if he left,” she mumbled. 
“Who?” Carson mused, smirking. 
Emily rolled her eyes. “Van, duh.” Mary and Carson exchanged a look, eyebrows raised. 
“Thought you weren’t really into him?” Carson questioned.
Emily shrugged. “I’m not but I’m drunk and he’s hot, so y’know. I’ll just message him.” 
She pulled out her phone and squinted at it. 
hey you still at jordan’s? 
Emily double checked it for spelling errors before she hit send. She responded to a few other messages before she saw he replied. 
bathroom. you? xx
Emily messaged him back quickly, describing where she was in the bar and waited for him to show up. Which he did, only a couple minutes later. 
“Hey,” Van said as he slid in to stand next to Emily at the table she was at. 
“Hi,” she smiled. 
“Hello,” Van said with a grin, directing it at Carson and Mary who were almost laughing to themselves.
“Oh yeah, this is Mary and Carson. Two of my roommates.” 
Within a few minutes, Van and Carson were nearly best friends. They apparently had a lot in common. They were talking about soccer at the moment, which Emily had little to no interest in. She leaned on the table, sipping her Vodka soda as Mary chattered on about what JJ was texting her. “God, he’s such a dick,” Mary muttered, angrily typing a response. Emily snorted to herself, knowing that she would probably be going to his place later. Emily dragged her gaze over to Van and Carson who were watching some highlight video that Carson had brought up on his phone. Emily debated about what to do in this situation. 
She decided to reach out and rub Van’s back gently, making him turn quickly and look at her. He had been laughing at something Carson said so he was still smiling at her, eyes shining bright.
“Another drink?” Emily asked, biting her lip as she touched his arm just for a second. 
Van’s whole expression changed. “Yeah, let me get ya one, love,” he said in a low voice, giving her a small smile. Van turned and scooted away towards the bar to order. 
“Dude, he’s so funny. I think I’m in love with the guy. I don’t know how you aren’t,” Carson laughed. Emily rolled her eyes but she wasn’t really listening, instead just watching Van as he talked to the bartender and laughed, his charm coming out. He was so good with people. Van returned with two drinks but within twenty minutes, he, Emily, and Carson were heading back to their apartment. 
Mary was going over to JJ’s of course, and Emily was walking down the street, hand intertwined with Van’s. Carson was telling the story of how he had just gotten rejected by this girl at the bar he had apparently liked since last year and how he’d be spending the night with a bottle of lotion. “Carson, ew.” Emily laughed, nearly tripping over a curb. Van kept a tight grip on her hand, making sure she wouldn’t fall. 
When they got inside the apartment, Emily slipped off her shoes and led Van up the stairs right away. Carson saluted them and headed into his own room for the night, to do God knows what. Emily quickly plugged in her fairy lights and flopped down on her bed, slipping her shoes off. 
Van had his hands shoved in his front pockets, looking around at her pictures on the wall and other things. He looked particularly interested in her old record player. “This is class,” he said, carefully inspecting her records. 
“Oh, it was my Grandpa’s,” she said, leaning her weight back on her hands. Van was smiling, apparently enjoying the music she had. 
“Can I play somethin’?” Emily nodded. He fiddled with the record player for a second and then Emily’s eyes widened when she heard a song by one of her favorite bands ever, Turnover, start playing. 
“Holy shit,” she whispered as Van came and sat next to her.
“What’s that?” 
“You like Turnover?” Emily questioned, staring at him as he slipped his boots off. 
“Oh yeah. Absolutely class. This album is unbelievable,” Van replied, turning to look at her. 
At this moment, it was safe to say Emily was mesmerized. Yes, she was drunk again and yes, he clearly felt a lot more for her than she felt for him, but she didn’t care about any of that as she stared at him. 
“What?” He whispered, eyebrows furrowing. Emily just leaned forward, grabbed his face with one hand and started kissing him. Van responded immediately, kissing back gently. He put one hand on her waist, sighing into the kiss. The music played quietly in the background but it somehow made everything better. Emily felt even more drunk off the taste of his lips as she shifted, pushing him to move back on the bed and he took the hint, lying down. Emily broke the kiss and straddled him, his hands rubbing along her legs and up to her waist.
Van looked nearly entranced in this moment but honestly, Emily felt the same way. She couldn’t stop staring at him, his eyes were hooded but still sparkling and he kept licking his lips. Eventually, Van leaned up and pressed his lips against hers, cupping her face in his hands. Emily shifted a little, which drew the softest groan from Van. Emily thought she had never heard something so beautiful in her life.
After a few minutes, Emily flipped the two over so Van was hovering over her. He seemed to be intoxicated by her as he leaned down and started kissing down her neck. He switched to the other side, running his hands along her body while biting her neck ever so gently. 
“Fuck,” Emily moaned out quietly. Van stopped, biting his lip and then stared at her eyes. He kept staring as his fingers reached down to graze the hem of her shirt, which she helped to pull off right away. He kept staring as his fingers worked down, gripping onto her belt and slowly unbuckling it. Emily felt like she was about to explode as he tugged her pants off. He just kept staring at her while he slipped her underwear off, too. She had both of her hands on the side of his head, running through his hair. Emily almost squeezed her eyes shut but she felt like she had to keep them open, staring at him. 
After a few minutes, Emily was a mess. She was sweating and so unbelievably turned on. “Van,” she mumbled, pulling his head up to look at her. 
“Hm?” He licked his lips. 
“Do you wanna fuck?” 
Van shifted, leaning forward to kiss her then pulled away and started, “Love, I...” he let out a small sigh, “Emily,” he whispered. Emily’s eyes had so much want in them, it was driving Van insane. “I, ah, want to, of course I do. But I think maybe we should just wait.” 
Emily bit her lip, feeling a little rejected almost. “Oh. We can stop, then.” She started to sit up. 
Van gently pushed her back down on the bed. “No, no, I want to keep doing this. Emily, ah, well I fancy you a lot. Really, you’re just fucking...Christ, somethin’ else. Please, don’t think I don’t want this,” he muttered. “Just wanna wait for the whole sex part, yeah?” Emily just nodded, leaning up to kiss him again. 
After about an hour, Emily was laying on Van’s chest, his arm around her, thumb rubbing up and down her arm. “Mm, I need a smoke,” Van mumbled, rubbing his eye with his other hand. 
Emily’s eyes were closed, her fingers gently tracing across the lines on his stomach. “If you want, you can just open my window and smoke in here,” she murmured. 
“You sure?” She nodded. Van slid out from underneath her, carefully. He reached down to slide his underwear back on and then grabbed a cigarette and a lighter out of his pocket. Emily laid on her side, watching as he pulled open the blinds and cracked open the window and lit the end of his cigarette carefully. The window didn’t have a screen so Van just flicked the ashes right outside. Emily stared at him, admiring the way the orange glow from the cigarette highlighted the details of his face. Her eyes trailed over the curve of his shoulder blades, the bend of his elbow, the little dimples at the bottom of his back. Fuck.
Van blew smoke out the window carefully, his eyes focused on something outside. He finished off the cigarette and looked around, clearly unsure of what to do with the butt. “Put it in there,” Emily whispered, gesturing to a cup on her bedside table. Van nodded, dropping it in. He leaned over to the record player and flipped the record over, as it had stopped a while ago. He turned the music down a bit and Emily held the blankets up so Van could slide in next to her. She immediately snuggled up to him, feeling how warm he was and trying to ignore the spark of his skin against hers. Van leaned down and dropped a kiss on her forehead and Emily closed her eyes, needing to remain unaffected by it all. 
“Night, love,” Van mumbled, reaching his hands up to stroke her hair slowly. Emily fell asleep within a minute of this. 
--- 
The same thing happened on Friday night. Emily was at a party with Carson - Mary at work, sadly - dancing and enjoying herself when Carson lightly hit her arm. “Hey, there’s Miller. Oh, and Van!” Carson immediately turned and walked over, grinning as they did that weird handshake thing every guy does, the three of them laughing. Emily’s eyes were drawn to Van, him wearing all black once again but she was surprised to see he was wearing a short sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up a little. He was rather skinny, and quite pale, honestly, but his arms did have a little outline of muscle. 
Emily decided to make her way over to the three, greeting Van with a ‘hi’, who wrapped an arm around her shoulder, bringing her in for a small hug. They ended up all talking, dancing, and drinking for a while. Emily was honestly having a really fun time. Van, Miller, and Carson got along so well but Emily felt like she fit in too. 
“Alright, I gotta head out. My girl’s texting me, so,” Miller said, slapping hands again with Van and Carson, nodding at Emily. 
“See ya, mate,” Van said as Miller made his way out of the party. Emily realized that Van had probably come with Miller, and now here he was with Carson and Emily only. 
So it was down to three. Until Carson started dancing with a girl who was quite tall, way taller than Emily but still shorter than him. 
“Oh shit,” Van laughed as Carson and the girl started kissing right next to them a few minutes later. Emily laughed along with him, feeling a little grossed out by the sight. Van shook his head and turned away from the couple, then leaned down by Emily’s ear. “Dance?” he asked quietly. Emily nodded, turning around and standing right in front of Van. His hands slid down her sides, holding her hips tightly. They danced like this for a while, a little slowly, Emily leaning her head back a little onto Van’s chest. At one point, she turned around and reached up to kiss him. Van didn’t even hesitate to kiss her back, bringing his hands from her waist down to her ass. Emily pulled away after a few moments, totally breathless. Van’s hair was sticking to the sides of his face and a little sweat dripped down his neck because of how ridiculously hot the basement was. But Van still looked so good. 
A while later, Van, Emily, Carson, and the girl whose name Emily hadn’t learned yet were walking home. Carson was absolutely hammered, stumbling down the street and laughing about something. The girl was trying to hold his hand but he was weaving around aimlessly, and he tripped slightly over the curb. “C’mon, mate,” Van chuckled, letting go of Emily’s hand to put an arm around Carson, helping him stay upright. They eventually made it inside Emily and Carson’s apartment, Carson heading straight to the bathroom. The girl sat awkwardly on the couch in the living room as Van asked Emily where their glasses were to get Carson some water. 
“That cupboard, yeah,” Emily murmured, leaning against the counter. Van filled the glass with water from the sink. 
“He’ll probably be needing this, yeah? But he’s fine, I think,” Van said with a little smile. Emily watched as he turned and headed up the stairs to take care of Carson who from the sound of it was puking his guts out. It was pretty sweet to see him acting like this, taking care of one of Emily’s friends when he really didn’t have to. 
Emily made a disgusted face as she went to sit by the girl on the couch. “Carson’s not usually like this,” Emily said with a laugh. 
The girl just smiled, looking a little unsure of herself. Emily heard Van laughing upstairs. “Your boyfriend’s a good guy.”
      Emily looked up from her phone, “Oh, no, he’s not my boyfriend. He’s uh, yeah, no,” she laughed awkwardly.
“Oh, really? You guys seem so cute together,” the girl replied. 
Emily bit back a smile. “Thanks but no, we’re definitely not together.” She stood up and climbed the stairs as Carson came bursting out the bathroom. 
“Is Lauren still here?” he asked, Van standing behind him, trying to hide his laughter. Emily nodded and Carson pushed past her. 
“Carson, did you brush your teeth at least?” She whisper-yelled at him as he ran down the stairs.
“He did,” Van said with a chuckle. He flicked off the light and walked out of the bathroom, grabbing Emily’s arm and pulling her close to him. He brought his hands up to her face and just stared at her for a second. “You’re quite beautiful, y’know,” he murmured. His eyes were a little squinty as his cheeks flushed from the alcohol. He was glowing. 
Emily smiled, looking away. “Stop.”
Van ran his thumb across her cheek, then tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. “No, I’m serious. Absolutely class.” 
“Thank you,” she whispered, then leaned up and kissed him. 
---
It went on like this for a while. Van got Emily’s actual phone number and started texting her everyday. Almost every weekend, the two met up at a party or bar and then spent a night together, unless they had an exam or work or something else going on. Van tried making other plans quite often, asking Emily if she wanted to go for coffee or dinner or something, but Emily always came up with an excuse. There was a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, growing worse each day. She attempted to get rid of it by ignoring Van’s requests for dates and keeping it strictly sex between them. But it wasn’t easy. 
“Emily, you totally like him. Why won’t you just admit it?” Mary questioned Emily on one Saturday night that they actually decided to stay in. All of the roommates were home, watching movies and just relaxing. 
They were on the topic of Van and how great he was. This happened quite often. Mary and Spencer had taken a liking to him, almost as much as Carson had. Ever since Van had taken care of him when he was throwing up, Carson basically worshipped the ground Van walked on. 
“Yeah, for real. I’m telling you, I have feelings for him. And I don’t even like dudes,” Carson said, shoving popcorn into his mouth. 
Emily rolled her eyes. “Guys, stop. I’ve told all of you this. Yeah, he’s cool and whatever but I just like hooking up with him. I don’t like him like that.” 
Carson, Mary, and Spencer let out a collective snort. “Yeah, sure,” Spencer said under his breath. Emily shot him a dirty look.
“I’ve never even hung out with him unless we were drinking first so I don’t know where you guys are even getting this from.”
“Oh my God, Emily. Van tells me all the time that he wants to take you out on a real date but you always avoid it. He also told me you haven’t even had sex, so I know that’s not why you keep hanging out with him.”
“Carson!” Emily shouted, feeling a little blood rush to her cheeks. Carson just shrugged, eating more popcorn. “Look, I know he likes me, okay? He’s told me. And yes, he asks me all the time to get dinner and stuff, but I don't know. I just don’t date people, okay? I don’t like the idea of being with just one person. And I don’t believe in relationships.” Spencer rolled his eyes at this, most likely thinking of how much he loved his girlfriend Sarah. 
Mary scoffed. “Dude, have you even hooked up with anyone else since you met Van?” Emily didn’t respond. “No. And I know that guys are still hitting you up and wanting to hang out. So what the hell?”
Emily just shook her head. “Stop trying to make me like him! It’s not gonna happen. I haven’t even really been around him when we were sober.” 
Carson and Mary exchanged a look. “Okay, so invite him over,” Carson replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. 
“I’m not gonna invite him over, we’re having roommate bonding.” 
“Jesus Christ, Emily. We’re watching fucking Cars right now. Invite him over, I swear to God, before I get pissed off,” Spencer shouted from the kitchen, grabbing himself a beer. 
“Fine. I’ll see what he’s doing. But I’m not inviting him over til later.” Emily rolled her eyes and opened the last text she had gotten from Van.
From: van
what you up to x 
From: emily :)
not much, just watching some movies with my friends. hbu?
From: van
i’m at home, just bought some weed off my roommate. you interested? 
About an hour later, Emily was in the bathroom, brushing her hair out when she heard a short knock and then the door to her apartment open. She could tell it was Van, him laughing loudly along with her other roommates right away. He could really draw anyone in with that laugh. It was contagious. She sprayed a little more perfume on before shutting the light off and jogging down the stairs. 
Van was sitting next to Carson on the couch, who was updating him on what was going on with Lauren, who he seemed to be catching feelings for. Van turned and looked at Emily when she reached the bottom of the stairs. His face lit up and Emily tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach it gave her.
“Hi, love,” he said with a grin, patting the spot next to him on the couch. 
“Hey,” Emily replied, sitting next to him. Van squeezed her thigh gently and then kept his hand there as he turned to keep talking to Carson. 
“Yeah, we went out to dinner last night. I dunno, I think I do actually like her,” Carson said, shaking his head. “And she’s a freshman! What the hell is wrong with me?”
Van chuckled. “Nothing, mate. Can’t help who ya want.” Emily bit her lip, looking down at Van’s large hand on her leg still, his thumb gently stroking across it. 
“So you guys wanna smoke?” Van asked a few minutes later. There was a chorus of ‘yes’s’ and Van smiled, standing up to get his jacket. He pulled out a bag of weed, a few wraps, and his favorite lighter. “Mind if I do it here?” He asked Emily, gesturing to the coffee table.
“That’s fine,” she responded, getting up and heading to the kitchen. She grabbed a piece of paper towel, bringing it to Van.
“Oh, thanks, love.” He got to work, emptying the wraps and sprinkling the bud inside, then rolling. Emily pretended to not watch as he brought each of the blunts up to his lips, licking them to seal them. That’s... hot, she thought to herself. After a few minutes, the windows were cranked open and Van handed a blunt to Emily. “Wanna start it?” Emily nodded, putting it in her mouth and grabbing the lighter off the table. She lit it carefully, sucking in and making sure the end stayed lit. She exhaled and then brought it up to her mouth again, hitting it one more time before passing the blunt over to Van. Emily tried not to stare as he inhaled it for a long time, then blew a couple of o’s. He licked his lip and passed it to Carson. 
When the first blunt was finished, Van immediately lit up the second one. By the time the five of them had all finished it, they all seemed decently high. They all had pretty distinct high personalities. Carson and Spencer were laughing so hard no sound was coming out of them. Mary had been staring at the TV for so long, entranced by some dumb show she always liked to watch while high, hand shoved in a bag of Cheetos. 
And Van, well, Van was just a more lowkey version of himself while high. He was a little quieter, but he was really, really touchy, and his words a little drawn out, his voice raspier. He was laying on the couch while Emily was getting a drink. When she came back, he held open his arms and made grabby hands. Emily smiled at him, setting her cup down and sitting on the couch by him. They had to adjust a little, Van sitting up more and Emily leaning back on him. Vans eyes were barely open, but that had happened almost immediately after he had started smoking. “Hi,” he said quietly as Emily laid her head on his shoulder. 
“Hi, Van.” Van wrapped his arms around her waist, grabbing one of her hands and intertwining their fingers. He stretched his fingers out, highlighting how long they were compared to Emily’s. 
“Like when you say my name,” he mumbled.
“Yeah?”
“Mhmm. But I just like you.” Emily shut her eyes. She could see faint designs dancing behind her closed eyelids. It had been a few weeks since she had smoked, so she was feeling a little different than usual. 
“I’m so fucking tired.” Emily opened her eyes to see both Carson and Spencer standing up. “Like, I’m about to sleep so good,” Spencer said. 
“Well, goodnight then,” Carson said, yawning. They both headed upstairs leaving only Mary, Emily, and Van downstairs. 
“You wanna go up?” Van asked, rubbing Emily’s arm softly. She nodded, not one to speak much while under the influence. 
So they got up, hands locked together, said goodnight to Mary, and ended up lying in Emily’s bed. The window was cracked open so sounds of the traffic below filled the room, along with a record Van had put on. Emily was lying on Van’s chest, eyes closed as he sang along to The Killers. 
“I don’t mind if you don’t, I don’t shine if you don’t,” he sang quietly. Emily was so impressed. 
“You’re so fucking good,” she mumbled against his chest. “You should be in a band or something.”
Van chuckled. “I am in a band, love.” 
Emily’s eyes opened wide. She sat up, staring at Van. “Wait, what? You’re in a band?”
Van reached his hand out, tracing his thumb along Emily’s arm. “Mhmm. Didn’t I tell ya that?” Emily shook her head vigorously, clearly in shock. “Yeah, well. We’re not real big or anything. Played at a couple bars, done a couple competitions, that type ‘o thing. I was in one back home too, but obviously that’s kinda on hold.” 
Emily’s mouth was still wide open. “I can’t believe this. That’s literally so hot, Van,” she groaned, lying back down on his chest. Van chuckled, pulling her in tight.
“If I would’ve known you’d react like this, I’d ‘ave defo told ya sooner.” 
“What’s your band’s name?”
“Catfish and the Bottlemen,” Van replied, his voice so raspy. 
“Hmm, cool name. I wanna see you perform sometime,” Emily said. 
“Yeah, I’d love that, honestly. How ya feeling?” 
Emily shrugged. “Okay, I guess. Starting to come down so I’m getting a little tired.” 
“You wanna go to sleep?” Van asked. 
She shook her head. “Mm, no not yet.” She leaned her head back to look at Van who was already staring down at her. His eyes flicked down to her lips then back to her eyes, searching them. 
“Em?” He asked, licking his lips. 
“Hm?” 
“How come you never want to do anything normal with me? I, you know, ask you to dinner and stuff but you always say you’re busy. But then I see you every weekend, usually only when we’re drinking or somethin.’” Emily turned her head, laying back on Van’s chest. She let out a small sigh.
“Van, I... uh, I don’t really know.”
“I like you a lot, Emily. I really do. We met, what a month ago? But I think about ya all the time. And I’d really, really like to take ya out sometime on a proper date. I wanna spend more time with you.” 
Emily was quiet for a moment. She sat up again, biting her lip. Van sat up a little too, staring at her. “Van, I just… don’t know what to say,” she whispered. She looked into his eyes, which were full of expectation. She could feel her own eyes starting to water just a little so she started blinking quickly, looking at her hands. Van ran his hand up her arm, around to the back of her neck. She shivered slightly at his touch. 
“Hey, it’s okay. You don’t have to say anything,” he murmured. Emily chewed on her lip for a second before looking back at him. 
“Okay,” she whispered. She felt so vulnerable and she knew why. Of course she had feelings for him. How could she not? Van was fucking perfect. But she didn’t want to tell him that. Emily was so used to being alone mostly, only casually dating guys, cutting things off if it seemed like too much. And she really, really didn’t want to let him in. But Van was doing his best to work his way into her life. He knew she was closed off. He knew that she had slept with a lot more people than he had. He knew that she liked to party maybe a little too much. But he didn’t care. “I’m sorry. I wish I wasn’t like this,” she muttered, quickly wiping a single tear away. 
“Come here, love.” Emily crawled up closer to Van so they were only about an inch apart. “‘S okay, honest,” he mumbled before pressing his lips against hers softly. Emily’s eyes fluttered shut, kissing him back. She fell apart under his touch, Van’s hands roaming up and down her body slowly, his fingers finding their way underneath her sweatshirt. Emily was straddling Van now, but letting him be totally in control. He pulled away to tug her sweatshirt over her head. Van stared at her body for a moment, eyes wide in awe, just like he did every time she removed her clothes. It made Emily’s stomach flutter every time, too. “Flip over, hm?”
The two switched positions and Van leaned in to kiss her neck, then down her body slowly. His lips brushed against her stomach and Emily squirmed a little. He looked up at her, eyes hooded, full of want. He tugged her leggings off, tossing them onto the floor, then moved down to press kisses against the inside of her thighs. Emily was shaking as he brought his hands up to tug off her underwear, then pressed her hips down against the bed. 
A few minutes later, the two had swapped positions again. Van had just let out a groan that made Emily’s eyes almost roll back into her head. “Love, do you... Should I grab a-” Emily looked up at Van, his lips swollen and hair messy from running his own hands through it. 
She nodded. “If you want to, Van.” They hadn’t talked about sex since Emily had asked him the second time they hooked up. Emily never wanted to push anything and she was fine without it. But she would be lying if she said her heart wasn’t pounding right now, her stomach jumping at the possibility.
“I do, yeah.”
A few hours later, they were still awake. The record player had stopped a long time ago but neither of them seemed ready to sleep. Emily was lying on her back, Van on top of her, one arm wrapped around her waist and her arms around his neck, every part of their bodies intertwined. She was running her hands through his hair, him letting out a hum every so often. “I really like ya, Em. I really, really do,” Van mumbled against Emily’s skin. Emily smiled to herself but didn’t say anything back.

Pour Some Sugar On Me (one-shot)

Inspired by Def Leppard’s song Pour Some Sugar On Me... honestly such a fucking banger! If ya want, listen to it while reading this ;)
Tumblr media
       The house was packed as Y/N and Roger walked inside, her smaller hand tightly held in his calloused one. People cheered and hollered when they noticed Queen’s drummer walk in their midst with his beautiful lady by his side.        “I’ll get us drinks, love!” he yelled over the booming rock music and saw Y/N nod in response.        “I’ll be somewhere on the dance floor!” and with a wink, she was off. The blond bit his lip as he watched her hips sway in that tight little red number that hugged her ass so perfectly it was like the material was a second skin.        She’d worn it just for him. That much Roger was definitely aware of because Y/N knew just how fast it set him off, just how quickly the crimson dress with the deep V-neck cut and barely-there straps made him hard. When she’d walked down the steps of their apartment and he’d seen what she was wearing, Roger had actually bit on his knuckles to keep the groan in.        “You’ll be the death of me, darling,” he’d murmured pulling her body right next to him and nipping at her earlobe.        “But wouldn’t a death like this be just oh so sweet?” Y/N’s voice was sultry, and if Roger hadn’t sworn to Freddie he’d be at the party, he would’ve just ripped the garment off of her and bent her over the counter.        “The sweetest,” he muttered a reply, before detaching and grabbing the car keys. 
       The ride to Freddie’s place was one from Hell. The whole time he kept his hand on Y/N’s thigh and the dress seemed to grow shorter and shorter with every passing minute; it’s like the cloth itself was somehow shrinking and teasing him. There was even a moment where he almost swerved on the road, as he felt her fingers skim against his bicep.        “Love ya, Roggie,” Y/N muttered pressing a kiss against his shoulder.        “Love ya too, darling.” He’d never been happier to reach a destination because one more minute and he would’ve crashed the car.        As he made his way through the crowd, in one hand, he held Y/N’s preferred- gin and tonic- in the other he had the same order.        “Great minds think alike,” she had remarked on their first date when the waiter of the restaurant had come up and asked what they wished to order.        Getting through the mass of people was practically impossible, but somehow Roger managed to do it with minimal spillage. And then he almost dropped both glasses when he saw Y/N dancing.        The flashing lights roamed over her body much like Roger’s gaze. Her legs in the burgundy heels looked delectable, her waist was cinched and just screamed for Roger to dig his fingers in the flesh, and that smile… that smile was vile and cruel and horrible because there was no way they’d be able to sneak off for a quickie. Not when she was dancing with Freddie. Fuck, he was fucked. And he was so fucking glad for it.        They’d met after one of his shows. Y/N actually hadn’t been a fan of theirs, let alone a groupie. Her best friend had dragged her to the concert, the bribe being free drinks and food, and she’d never been able to say no to that.        Roger had noticed her immediately when he’d made his way on stage, and throughout the performance, he kept eye contact with pretty much only Y/N.        “He’s looking at you!” Stevie had yelled in Y/N’s ear, her grin bright and infectious.        “Who?” she screamed back trying to be louder than the crowd.        “Roger Taylor!”        “Who?”        Stevie rolled her eyes. “The blond one! The drummer!”        And sure enough, when Y/N turned back to face the stage he was staring right at her.        Instead of the usual response he got when a pretty girl caught him glancing, she had snorted and shaken her head. Even when he’d winked at her, he got zero acknowledgement.        So, he played more vigorously, kept his eyes on her, but Y/N didn’t budge. She deliberately watched just Freddie, John and Brian, and when they took their bows, Roger’s blue orbs blazing, almost frying a hole in her head, she finally gave in and threw him a wink. That’s when his heart did this weird flip thing.        At the afterparty, he sat in one specific place where he could observe the people coming in and out of the door, but no sign of the Y/H/C haired beauty. Despite the numerous women twirling around, Roger wasn’t interested in anyone apart from the stubborn girl who wouldn’t give him the time.        He huffed and stood up to get another drink when his feet stumbled. There, by the bar and chatting away with Brian was she.        Roger’s brain wasn’t thinking, it was no longer in control as his legs moved on their own accord and brought him to stand beside her.        “Hello, love,” he spoke up expecting for the woman to turn around, but she didn’t. She just put her hand up in a wave and downed a shot.        “Your turn Bri.”        Fuck, her voice. Did everything have to be so appealing about her?        “Ya know, when someone says ‘hi’ usually you say ‘hi’ back.”        “Ya know when someone doesn’t reply it means back off?”        Brian laughed at how Roger was at a sudden loss for words. He wasn’t used to people rejecting him.        “I uh I saw you at the concert,” he tried to make conversation once more. “You were in the front row.”        She simply shrugged drinking another shot and biting on a lime. “Friend’s a fan. Promised me free drinks, though I didn’t think she meant ‘get us into the after party and then disappear with the bassist', oh, uh what’s his name uhhh John. Your friend Brian offered to keep me company while the two go at it.”        Great, Roger thought to himself, even John was getting it on while he was still busting his ass. He leaned on the counter on her other side and smirked. “And what if I kept you some company?”        “I don’t know,” she spun around on the chair and rested her elbows against the table. “You must have a pretty good excuse to pull me away from the riveting conversation I was having.”        “What? Interplanetary space dust?” Roger cackled and looked at Brian who rolled his eyes.        “Actually, how quantum effects allow black holes to emit exact black body radiation. Hawking’s theory.”        Once again Roger was stumped. He hated Brian’s smug grin and the fact that she was mirroring it so perfectly.        “So no,” she said standing up and smoothing down her skirt, “not just interplanetary dust.”        And with a ‘thank you’ to Brian she was sauntering off, but before Roger missed the chance he yelled after her, “What’s your name?”        All he received was a wink. “Wouldn’t you like to know.”        Now, on most nights it was the name he cursed and moaned. The thought of that made him giddy.        “You trying to charm my woman, Fred?” Roger asked as he approached the pair and handed over Y/N her drink. Deliberately, and he knew it was so, she let her tongue wet her bottom lip before it wrapped around the tiny black straw and her rouged mouth took a sip.        “Trust me, darling, she’s the one who’s charmed me and half the guests here,” Freddie’s laugh was loud and boisterous; Roger just rolled his eyes and shook his head.        He knew the effect Y/N had on people, how all eyes turned to follow her as if she was the sun and they were sunflowers. She had this innocent demeanour. As if those lips of hers weren’t pure sin and her eyes weren’t hypnotizing. In a second, she could bewitch anyone she wanted, and they’d fall to her feet and surrender their heart. For whatever reason, she’d gone for Roger.        Y/N kept looking at him the whole time as he and Freddie spoke, catching up as the two hadn’t seen one another in a while. When she bit down on her straw and smiled at him, the drummer pinched the inside of his wrist to keep his mind in a decent place. But then she downed her drink.        In one big gulp, the G&T was gone, and a little sliver dribbled down her chin, trailing a path on her neck and disappeared in her cleavage.        “Fucking hell,” Roger whispered, his blue eyes wide as Y/N threw him a wink.        Freddie having seen that just rolled his eyes and patted his friend on the back. “Just use protection, kids.” Then he was off to mingle with the other guests.        “Something wrong, Roggie?” Y/N asked in a sweet tone that sent blood straight from his brain to his little brain as she swayed her hips from side to side.        “Nope,” he answered pulling her close to him and pecking her lips, “nothing at all. Only you looking as sinful as ever while tasting like dessert.”        In response, Y/N pulled Roger down by the open lapels of his dress shirt and gave him a passionate kiss while grinding against his front.        “What are you trying to do to me, woman?” Roger groaned in Y/N’s ear as his palms settled on her hips, tightly pressing them together. “Do you want everyone to see just how hard I am?”        She smirked feeling the bulge against her thigh. “Now, Roggie, isn’t that meant just for me?”        “Of course, it is, but when you act like the devil you are in front of the crowd, how can I control myself?”        “Mhm,” she hummed kissing his neck, “so it’s my fault now?”        “Always, baby.” Y/N’s satisfied smile was blissful.        Her hand trailed down Roger’s chest and slowly but surely disappeared under the open shirt.        “Darling,” his voice had dropped a few octaves and was laced with a warning, but Y/N only smiled at him, her Y/E/C eyes glinting with mischief as she raked her nails on the toned abdomen.        “Fucking hell, you really want to ruin me, don’t you?”        She only smiled wider when Roger squeezed her ass and slid his palms up her back.        “I mean, you can tell me to stop and I will,” Y/N said it in such an angelic tone both of them could feel his member twitch in the constraints of his pants. “But I don’t think you want me to.”        Her other hand was making a dangerous dip, and before Roger could react, she was palming him through the jeans. He was lucky that the music was as loud as it was, otherwise the whole fucking house would’ve heard the obscene moan that left his lips.        “Was this your plan all along?” he groaned in her ear, hiding his face in Y/N’s neck as she didn’t stop her motions. “Work me up? Tease me? Everyone thinks you’re so fucking innocent, you’re such a good girl… if only they knew… if only they realized what a minx you are…”        And when he pulled back, he saw the biggest smile on Y/N’s face he’d ever witnessed. “Then what are you waiting for?”        Quickly he grabbed her hand and led the way out of the large room. He tried to keep his palms from shaking and knees from buckling as they made their way towards one of the many bedrooms, but Roger was struggling.        On their way up the stairs Y/N snatched a drink from someone’s hand and downed it, but before the liquid could completely make its way to her stomach, she pulled Roger towards her and smashed their lips in a kiss.        He could taste the rum and coke and what seemed to be vanilla as his tongue licked in her mouth, gently teasing the roof of it before tangling with Y/N’s.        “Delicious as always,” Roger smirked as he pulled back.        “I think something else might be sweeter…”        “Why don’t we find out then?”            The door opened with a slam as he pushed Y/N backwards, their lips attached for each and every step as they went inside before he closed the door by lifting her up and pressing the woman against it.        Swiftly Roger turned the lock and smirked. “Don’t want an audience, do we?”        “I don’t know,” she purred, “I like it when everyone knows who you belong to.”        “You, baby,” he kissed cupping her cheeks. “Never doubt that.”        It took Roger less than twenty seconds to zip open Y/N’s dress and have it pooling around her ankles. His jaw dropped at the sight. A deep crimson bralette cupped her breasts and pushed them up together while the garter belt was connected to the black stockings, a red thong the only thing covering the rest of her.        “You like it?” she gave Roger a little twirl because Y/N was fully aware of the impact she had on him, and if there came a time, she didn’t tease her man to no end, it would be the day the world explodes.    “Remind me why exactly did I not rip that dress off while we were still home?”    Y/N smirked wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in to bite at his earlobe. “Because you promised Freddie he’d get to host our engagement party.”        “Yeah, fuck that,” his hands sneaked around her thighs and he squeezed, telling her to jump.        “I’d rather you fuck me,” Y/N gave him a wicked grin as Roger turned around and threw her on the bed, her body bouncing a bit with the motion.        “Oh, love,” he undid the rest of his shirt and discarded it somewhere on the floor. “I fully intend to. But first, I need a taste.”        She whined at his words, but the noise was soon replaced by soft moans as Roger slid the thong down, putting it in the back pocket of his jeans with a smirk, and let his tongue lap around Y/N’s soaking core.    “Like fucking candy,” Roger muttered before diving back in and licking a long stripe right from her centre to her clit.        He worked her for a good few minutes before reverting his lips to the soft skin of her thighs and replacing his tongue with his fingers.        “How many, baby?” he asked, teasing her entrance mercilessly, dipping them in but not fully.        “Roger please,” Y/N whined, and she tried to grind her hips down, but he was stronger. When you play the drums for years, you grow some arm muscle and right now, she was very much so upset about it, because the palm pushing her waist down was very much so in control.        “Words, love,” Roger nipped the inside of her thigh. “How many?”        “I don’t care, just fucking do som-“        In a single move, his middle and pointer finger slid inside. He curled them upwards in a ‘come here’ motion, and Y/N’s eyes rolled to the back of her head.        “If only you could see yourself,” Roger muttered to her, though she was gone. The pleasure of his digits moving in and out accompanied by the delicious rubbing his thumb did on her clit had thrown her brain into another dimension.        “Fuck, you’re clenching so hard, darling,” Roger moaned trailing his mouth up from her hip, then her stomach, her chest, where he left a few blooming marks until he reached her neck, which he assaulted as much as possible before finally moving to her lips.    Her lipstick was already smeared all over her mouth, as it was around Roger's, and the knowledge of that made him grin.        Y/N’s fingers weaved in his blond mop, pulling him impossibly close, and she revelled in the still lingering taste of herself on his tongue. The sounds in the room were obscene, and even when the doorknob jiggled, someone else trying to make their way in, neither cared. Roger was too immersed in how Y/N’s walls fluttered around his digits, and dreaming of the moment he could be inside her while she was trying to keep her loudest moans at bay.        “No, love, that won’t do,” he gently scolded her as Y/N bit down on her knuckles to keep the scream in when his finger brushed against that spot deep inside. “Wanna make sure every fucking person here knows who’s making you feel this good.”        Y/N’s lips tugged up in a smile. “I’ll scream only if you scream.”        The drummer squeezed his blue eyes shut because those words were about to make him cum in his pants. “All in due time, sugar,” he said clearing his head. “But wanna hear you first.”        Now she didn’t hold back. Y/N moaned and sighed his name, and much to Roger’s satisfaction, especially when he got to that particular spot, she choked on a breath before groaning loudly.        “Come on, darling,” he cooed at her in the same tone he spoke to her when Y/N was in a sour mood, and he was trying to figure things out. “I know you’re close. Let go, love. Wanna see you drench my fingers.”        And he didn’t’ have to wait long. With her nails digging in his biceps and teeth biting down on his shoulder, Y/N’s orgasm obliterated all of her senses. She couldn’t feel how hot his skin was or the soothing kisses Roger placed all over her neck and cheeks and forehead. Nothing but white burning bliss existed.        Her body, and especially legs shook at the aftermath, and she couldn’t wait for the next day, when a pleasurable ache would settle between her legs.        “You good, baby?”        How Roger could go from a merciless tease and a fucking sex god to a concerned lover with the eyes of a puppy was beyond Y/N.        “Better than good, love,” she replied releasing a satisfied hum as he gave her a kiss. “But kinda wanna be even better.” With that said her hand cupped his still confined bulge. “What d’ya say?”        “Your wish is my command, sweetheart.”        And her lips as she kissed him were sugar sweet.
Pour some sugar on me Oh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me Get it, come get it Pour your sugar on me Pour some sugar on me Yeah! Sugar me!

part I, part II,
part III
∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°
Back home, Katsuki felt like all he wanted was to let himself fall on something soft and not move for another hours. He hadn't expected school to be this tiring after only one half assed day, but above else it was his heart that went into some rough trial. It felt like a roller coaster but it'll become manageable after a while somehow… After all, he'd been dragging these feelings for a while now.
He was used to these 2am & 2pm emo sessions now. And they were fucking pathetic. Get a grip for fuck's sake.
As he finally let himself fall on the living room sofa, face muffled by pillows and comfy blanket ; he felt something hard unpleasantly in the way. As he muttered about having to get up against his will, he found the object of his discomfort was a pile of paper bind together, wrapped in an ugly sky blue cover bearing cheesy lines for a title. Katsuki recognized the heaviness of a drama script.
"Hey, what the fuck is this ?" he growled as he started flipping through the pages.
Because there was sounds of kitchen utensils clashing together coming from the corridor, Katsuki had to grunt some more because his body considered it too much of an effort to move from the comfortable sofa. At some point, his mother finally passed her head from the door frame.
"What is it, can't you use your legs !"
"What's that."
"You don't know ? It came from the postal service today."
"I said I was taking a break though."
"Do whatever you want, but don't turn your back to good opportunity. This is mrs Park's work, she's renowned for her cinematic work, I was really surprised someone like her would be interested in someone like you for her new drama."
"Shut up, I'm plenty mesmerizing.". She slapped the back of his head.
"Try to get a look at the full story, it could be really interesting for your career. And it might be more fulfilling for you than your previous roles.", she sighed.
"Hey, Ground Zero's the best fucking role !"
"Stop wasting your talent in stupid tv drama and work a bit more on those brat expression!"
He stuck his tongue at her, which she retaliated before leaving for the kitchen. Katsuki sighed, letting the upper of his body fall on the ground while his legs were getting tangled in the sheets. There was close to no chance he was taking that role. Still, he kept going through the dialogue pages. From what he caught up, the story's was about some dumb boy fighting and skipping school, on some stupid identity quest or whatever. Fucking boring.
And yet…
Around the last pages, some scenes sparked off his attention, and after reading thoroughly the honey covered outcome he gazed into the white void of the ceiling.
Then he sighed, before getting up in direction of the kitchen.
"I'll do it if it doesn't take on school schedules," he announced while taking a bite of the snacks lying on the table. "Tell' em."
"Can't you ask yourself."
" You're the one that insisted", he took another bite.
"I'll see for you- hey ! Stop eating before dinner," she went to flick the back of his head as Katsuki shoved the rest of the food in his mouth hastily.
"The fuck, cook faster then- Argh", she put one of her arm around his neck and squeezed hard.
"Smell these good vegetables I'm making and stay put, alright brat ! Huff. And what made you change your opinion about the drama anyway ?"
"Nothing, let me go, the fuck !"
"I didn't know you could show a tender heart under all these spikes. You better not half-ass this, you understand brat !"
"Shut up, the fuck, I- !", he untied himself from his mother's grip. "I won't, shit… "
Katsuki could only stand his mother looking at him, trying to read his words through his eyes, for a few seconds before kicking the door open and leaving. She could be awfully good at it sometimes, and he didn't want her noisy comments on that.
   ∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°
"That was fast, I thought you weren't doing anything new for a while…." Kirishima said, flipping through the blue sky scenario, and Katsuki could hear his tone trying to hide some uneasiness.
"Don't whine, I'm still going to school."
"I wasn't whining !" he retorted, "… but it's cool if you still come to school."
Katsuki hummed as he corrected another equation. Tonight was supposed to be another study night, but Kirishima seemed interested in anything but their notebook. The fuck did he come here for even.
"It's not really your kind though… There's like, no explosion, no action, no guns, no chase… Hey, why'd you chose it ?"
"None of your fucking business, give it !", Katsuki said, forcefully taking the script from Kirishima's hand.
"Hey! Usually, you let me read your stuff", the red hair pouted, rolling on the bed.
"Yeah, well I'm supposed to tutor your dumbass right now, so get back to work", he kicked Kirishima's head that was hanging from his bed with his pen.
It wasn't really mean to be a secret, but Katsuki still preferred for Kirishima to not read all the scenario before he showed it to him.
"But I can't anymore ! My brain's turning into batter", the red hair whined, letting his body fall from the bed. "A bit more and I'm falling asleep right here."
"Well you can just sleep here later, so get the fuck back to work."
"But I can't tonight …"
"Why not, you live just next door."
"Yeah but, I don't wanna let granny alone... She says she feels weak lately so the manly thing to do is to help her, y'know. ", Kirishima slightly lowered his face, eyes darkening all of a sudden.
Katsuki turned around to find Kirishima's gaze. He could be so easy to read on some instance, but Katsuki learnt there was a lot of feelings kept hiding under these smiles. Nevertheless, Kirishima was earnest at heart and his eyes couldn't lie. And right now they seemed agitated. Red seeing red, Katsuki looked through his beclouded eyes and wondered when was the last time Kirishima last talked about his family's struggles, apart from that time in elementary. He frowned a bit at that memory.
"B-but it's nothing much though, just- Huh, what are you doing now ?"
"There's this girl on set, she gave me these", Katsuki said after seeking through his belongings, throwing small packets to Kirishima.
"What do you do with these ?"
"They're fucking face mask Kirishima, what you gonna do ? Fucking eat them ?" Kirishima giggled. "Now come on, Yuriko's (his granny) gonna love them."
"Shouldn't you warn your mom ?" Kirishima said, confused but smiling softly, as he followed Katsuki onto his balcony.
"Who cares, I'll just send her a text or whatever."
Self-aware much, Katsuki knew that amongst his many qualities, he wasn't really the best positivity and encouragement advisor. And that was fine, he sure wasn't going to listen to people's rumbling about their shitty life or whatever ; way too annoying.
But when it became about Kirishima, this uselessness upset him quite a bit. The little fucker deserved the happiest-honey time on this earth and fuck Katsuki for sucking as a therapist, he would never allow dark clouds to dim Kirishima's light.
"Yo granny, how's it going. Hope your bingo's partner'll be ready tomorrow cause you gonna look bomb af while they'll look like zombies, look what we got for you." Katsuki announced, as he kicked Kirishima's living room door wide open.
Thus, Katsuki, Kirishima and his granny Yuriko spent their night time drinking green tea in front of variety shows starring old and young famous people making fool about themselves live, all the while wearing face mask for younger complexion.
And as they were later all falling asleep sharing the same futon hours later, dimly lit by the soft moonlight crossing the window, Katsuki was remembering old memories from elementary in form of a dream. Younger black haired Kirishima and himself, skipping classes on some truancy ; hiding inside playground structures.
                                                                                     《 Mother's day's a dumb day anyway. It's just to suck us into capitalism and buying stuff all the time, it's just lies grown up makes. Wait 'til you hear the truth about Santa ! Plus, mother's aren't perfect at all, they lie and stuff. Mine's an evil old hag. 》
                                  《 Yeah… Mothers can be dumb… They do dumb things like… not being here for mother's day… forever… 》
                                                                Seeing that kid clinging to him, trying to act though when his knees were trembling just next to him. For the first time, little Katsuki, who never paid much interest in other kids his age, –- why would he–-, felt a weird tingly feeling inside his tummy that told him to not leave this kid alone somehow.
                                                                                                          And that feeling still hasn't left him.
∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°∗ˈ‧₊°
"Bakugou, you should try to seem more calm, you see ? You shouldn't feel that annoyed at her, keep in mind that your character's supposed to like her, ok ? The public needs to feel that lingering affection !", seeing as Katsuki frowned his brows, director Kim resumed. "You know what, let's all take some time, recess time for everyone, I want you all to be fresh and ready in 15 minutes !"
Katsuki sighed as he reached for his water bottle, gulping angrily– this session was starting to get on his nerve kinda.
"You sure ain't feeling the best for this role, ain't ya ?", blondie popped onto his vision-field.
"Hah ? Mind your fucking business !"
"You could be def more lit, blondie !", she raised both her thumbs with a stupidly elated expression.
"Shut the fuck up, you're blondie !"
"Ah, maybe you got me lol !"
Katsuki grinded his teeth before this exchange ; the script was cheesy as fuck and his screen partner–- Camie or something… not that he cared about her name–- was such an airhead. He kinda had already been expecting it, that the shooting would turn hard to grasp at first, considering he wasn't feeling his character ; but it still annoyed him.
"Why do I fucking care, anyway.", he sighed as he passed his hands through his bangs.
"You care 'cause it's our motto to do our best for the cam', ain't that right blondie ? Not to sound emo, but I know deep down you took this role because you highkey wanted to do good, righties ? "
"Shut up with the cheesy line."
"No way fam ! You're like real cute, so I want these scenes to be mad hotsy ok~ !",
The finger gun she offered gave him cold sweat goosebumps.
"If it really came down to that, I don't mind being your special someone's substitute tho", she gave him a slight elbow punch but her remark made him blush against his will. "What, you got a bae for realsies ?? The infamous Bakugou Katsuki ? No wayy ! But you seemed so inexperienced ?? Lol, no biggies tho ! "
"Shut you fucking mouth ! It ain't your fucking business !"
This 15 minutes recess was both too long and too short, in Katsuki's tired opinion. Fuck, he needed to focus. And to do better.
"Yooo Bakugou, looking like a zombie ! Your mom told me you were on set all day today, it was that tiring ?"
Katsuki turned his gaze towards the windows from which Kirishima was sneaking in from, <i>good timing</i> he thought. He had been rehearsing his lines for a while now, he needed a break ; and the red hair's company could only help him. He contemplated the boy's face as he was poking his cheeks.
"Shut up, I'll eat you", Katsuki said, abruptly wrestling Kirishima's neck.
"I give, I give !", the red hair giggled for Katsuki to release him. "What's so hard anyway, I thought you were genius actor.".
Katsuki let himself fall on the floor, throwing his highlighted script at Kirishima's face. And, under the filling sound of pages turning, he sighed, remembering blondie's words earlier. Thinking about his character, he eyed Kirishima pensively.
"You bet this be difficult for ya, you actually need to act thoughtful", he teased him.
"Fuck you, I'm plenty thoughtful alright."
"Alright", Kirishima hummed as he flipped the other page.
Katsuki could feel his heart tightening more and more as he contemplated. That definitely wasn't his characteristic to hesitate, damn this boy really had him all fucked up, didn't he.
"Wanna help me on my lines", he growled, as if the words were having a rough time making it.
It wasn't like it was the first time he asked Kirishima to do such a thing ; not that he usually needed help (of course not) but it was quite an efficient way to get in character better. So really, why did he feel his inside dancing around like that ; it wasn't like Kirishima would decline or anything, so keep your inside together damnit.
"Sure, if I can help !" Kirishima smiled, and Bakugou felt all tingly inside. He was really indulging, wasn't he. Saying it was only for the sake of the role…
"Cool." was all he said even though he already started diving his gaze onto those deep red eyes, positioning himself facing head on.
"Wait, do I have to get up ?"
"No, just stay that way… you're good."
Gazing into Kirishima's eyes, Katsuki tried to let his feelings boil without overflowing too much. Just… enough. This was a stupid role, but the character's love interest appeared quite similar to him if he focused enough… The love interest was, someone that had always been close to him, always by his side, never faltering no matter how hurtful he could be… Someone that looked up to him, with dazzled eyes, contemplating him as if he was a shooting star in the night sky but stars were reflecting in <i>his</i> eyes. Seeing him scintillating, Katsuki raised his hands and aimed for his arm, tightening his grip around his wrist, trying to feel if his heartbeat was beating any close to how fast his was in his presence.
"What's your problem, following me around like that.", he initiated.
"Ehm, I… I can't seem to leave you alone…", Kirishima reeled off, sounding rather dully but trying his best. Katsuki could feel his pulse beating slightly faster under his fingers.
"Well you should've, that had nothing to do with you.", Katsuki delivered as his face got slightly closer to Kirishima's, eyes still locked deeply.
"S- Sometimes, I remember the first time I saw you and my heart still beats really fast... You were so dazzling and I knew I wanted to be by your side all the time…", Kirishima seemed hesitant but his eyes appeared glowing. " And I.. I-I", he stuttered, scratching the back of his neck. "I think I'm the best one for you to be with… forever ?", as he said his last words, he lifted his deep gaze into his and god damn he looked even sweeter under the softened light, Katsuki wanted to kiss him violently right here right now.
<i>But he couldn't.</i> Because those weren't Kirishima's words.
Still felt like they were though. His body temperature raised such that he felt blazed, by reflex he gripped Kirishima's wrist slightly harder. So close, yet so far.
"You're definitely the best for me, but I… Can't say the same about me."
It felt as if there gaze were intertwined together forever, when they'd only been confessing a few lines. Katsuki didn't know if it was for him only, but he swore the room temperature definitely intensified, with some new tension amplifying between them. Katsuki's straight-faced mask was unruffled as usual, but Kirishima's was so bad right now ; he burst out laughing awkwardly, hiding his crimson face inside his palms.
"Duuuuuude, this is so embarrassing ! I totally get why you don't like these scenes, aahhh", he let himself fall on his back.
"Definitely the worst scenes…", Katsuki mumbled as he let himself fall as well.
"How can you do that in front of cameras and still look cool and believable !"
"I'm genius actor after all."
"Ugh… Of course you are."

You hadn’t been out with your old friends in a long time, your schedule had not allowed for it until recently. Finally you were back in your hometown for some well deserved time off, so you figured ‘Why not?’ go out to a bar and hang out with the people you grew up with. They named the place and the time, all you had to do was show up.
It felt good to be home, to be away from the fast lane and the pressure of Hollywood. You loved what you did, it was your passion, but sometimes you just needed to slow things down and get back to the roots. You had been to the place before, it was a place you used to hang out before you got your big break. Which by the way your friends never let you live it down, which is another reason why you were more than thankful that they wanted to go out tonight, and not hang out at your place. It never failed, after a few drinks, someone would find your Captain America shield and attempting to quote some of your lines back to you. 
You had gotten a little bit of a late start, so by the time you got to the bar, your friends were already there. There was a decent crowd for a Friday night, but it wasn’t over crowded. You ordered yourself a beer and started catching up with your friends. The jukebox was just loud enough to where you could hear the music playing could also still hear the conversations that were going on. Your friends where filling you in on the little things you had missed since the last time you had been home. That is when you heard her. You turned to the end of the bar where the voice came from. Her voice had you zoned out of everything else that was happening around you. Your friends voice faded into the background when you saw her.
You had never seen her before, but you absolutely wanted to make sure you say her again. Her laugh was what had gotten you to turn her direction, but then you noticed her long, wavy hair that stopped right about the waistline of her jeans was a beautiful shade of chestnut, but when she moved into the light you noticed red highlights dancing throughout. You heard her laugh again, but this time you saw her while she was laughing, whatever her friend had said must of been hilarious for her to react the way she did. 
As her laughter quieted down, that is when you noticed her smile. It could light up the whole city. The crimson red lips matched her complexion perfectly. Just as you found yourself wondering what her name is, one of your friends snapped his fingers in front of your face. Causing you to focus back on reality.
“Earth to Chris, bro did you hear a word I just said” you thought about lying and saying yeah you did, but there was no point.
“Honestly? I was zoned out. I heard this laugh and then I saw the girl that the laugh belonged to” you trailed off.
“Oh look, now Chris is in love with a mystery girl at the end of the bar”  One of your friends joked causing everyone to break out into laughter. Part of you hoped they would stop, the other part of you hoped they were loud enough to get her to look over.
“Guys c’mon. Knock it off” you pleaded with them. “I’m not in LOVE with her, I just wanna know her name and buy her a drink” you told them.
“Alright point her out”  As you casually pointed her out to you friends, you all saw some other guy walk up to her and start talking. Your face dropped, but the grip on you beer bottle tightened.
“Looks like you might have missed your chance, better luck next time”  which earned you a pat on the back as their way of saying sorry.
“Nah bro, I still have a shot”  You said as you watched her face change from a smile  to annoyance. 
You wondered where her friend had just gone, just then you saw the girl that was with her before come out of nowhere and stand right next to this mystery girl. You could tell her friend was the more outgoing one of the two of them. You couldn’t quite hear what was being said, but you could read lips a little bit. You tried to keep tabs on what was going on, but without staring.
The longer you attempted to read lips to stay in the loop of mystery girls conversation instead of talking with you friends, the more your friends noticed. They didn’t say anything aside from the casual joke. You decided it would be a good idea to  walk past mystery girl and her friend,after all you did have to pass where they were sitting at the bar to get to where the restrooms were located. 
“I’ll be right back guys” you inform your friends as you set your now empty beer bottle on the bar “Order me another before I get back, if you can” you say as you walk off.
As you get closer you can actually hear the conversation that is happening
“Let me buy you a drink, pretty lady, then we can go back to my place” you heard the guy say
“You can buy me a drink, but I’m this one's ride home, so I can’t leave” Mystery girl said, you kinda smiled to yourself because 1) she wasn’t interested in him, and 2) she could handle herself. She is absolutely is not from Boston originally, you could detect a slight accent, but it wasn’t Boston’s but yet you couldn’t put your finger on  it. You made a mental note to ask her, once you actually got the chance to talk to her.
Since you didn’t actually have to go to the restroom and your whole plan was to just put yourself in her line of sight, you walked in, checked you outfit in the mirror, smoothed out your white t-shirt, made sure that your flannel wasn’t too wrinkled and since you were wearing your “Guns-N-Roses” Hat, there was no need to fix your hair. You washed your hands, and headed back out.
In the short time you were gone, the random guy had left mystery girl and her friend alone and was nowhere in site. You headed back over to your friends to grab yourself another beer. You needed a tad bit more encouragement before you went over to her. You were just mustering up the guts to walk over there when you say mystery girls friend head your direction. Your mind was racing trying to figure out the reason she would come over to you and your friends. You didn’t have time to come up with any logical ideas before her friend was in front of you and your friends.
“Hello there, My name is Callie.”  She introduced herself, you all politely introduced yourselves to her as well.  “My friend Sarah over there, has never played quarters before, and you guys look like the only non sketchy bunch in this place, so do you guys want to come join us?”  She continued, before anyone could give their answer, she directed her gaze at you and opened her mouth to speak again “or are you just going to keep admiring my friend from afar lover boy?”  As the  words left her mouth, you instantly felt your face get red.Your friends were laughing, and as you opened your mouth to try and defend you “actions” your brain froze. No words were leaving your mouth. Earning a chuckle from Cassie. 
“Relax loverboy, she hasn’t noticed. Only me. Now what do you guys say? Let's teach her how to play quarters and get this one to actually say something to her” Cassie said to everyone made their way over to an open table as Cassie went to grab her friend. “Everyone, this is Sarah. Sarah this is everyone.” 
“Hi Sarah, nice to meet you, I’m Chris” You said as you took her all in now that you have seen her standing up. She had on ripped skinny jeans, which fit her perfectly, and had them paired with a maroon Def Lepard shirt, which she had modified to make it more revealing than a normal t-shirt should be, which you were not complaining about in the slightest.
“Hi Chris, I’m a big fan of your movies.”  Sarah said back you. You were about to ask her which one was her favorite, but before you could Cassie came back from the bar with a big glass of some sort of concoction and started explaining the rules to everyone, but mainly to Sarah since she had never played before.
“Alright, babe, repat the rules back to me, so I know you got them” Cassie said patting her hand on Sarah’s back, and in that moment you wished it was your hand on her back, and not Cassie’s. Your thought process was interrupted when you heard Sarah’s voice again.
“We each get 6 quaters. We have to try and bounce it into that empty glass, one at a time, and it can only bounce once. If you make it, you get to pick someone to drink. First person to get all of their quarters into the glass wins. THe person with  the most quarters leftover has to drink whatever the fuck that fucking thing is” Sarah said with a scrunched up face as she pointed to he drink that was now in the middle of the table. You couldn’t help but laugh at how adorable her facial expression was. “ I would just like to say that is is 100% and COMPLETELY unfair, because I am the only one here who hasn’t played. Meaning I don’t know what the actual fuck I am doing here.”  her statement earned a laugh from everyone at the table.
“ANd you say that I’m the dramatic on in this friendship” Cassie exclaimed.
“Well I mean you were a cheerleader in high school” Sarah whipped back
“You were the one who was in ACTUAL drama!” Cassie threw right back at Sarah. Hearing that she was in theater made you more interested, and your friends noticed it right away too.
“Alright, alright enough chit chat. Let’s play” Sarah stated. Since it didn’t start with her, since you all agreed to let her go last so she could see how other did it, you decided to try and get to know her a little bit better.
“So what brings ya to Boston?”  You asked. You just had to know.
“Well I actually just moved here for a job a couple weeks ago, and Cassie here has been here for a couple years, so she offered to show me around and hang out like we used to.”
“How long have you known Cassie?” You asked
“We meet freshman year of high school so like almost 15 years now” The way she scrunched her face up when she was trying to count back how long she had known Cassie. 
The questions paused because it was your turn to go. Having played this multiple times before, you easily got the first quarter in. Like the rule states, you sink it, you pick one one to drink, this time you picked Cassie since it was her idea to play the game, and to call you lover boy. Sarah laughed, but got serious when she realized it was her turn. She was focused, and apparently when she is focused, she sticks her tongue out ever so slightly, you happened to find it adorable, and chuckled at the sight. Unfortunately for Sarah she missed. She frowned and then stuck her bottom lip out towards Cassie. Before you could get back to asking questions Cassie got her quarter in perfectly and she picked Sarah to drink.
“Love you!”  Cassie smiled in Sarah’s direction
“Yeah fuck you too”  Sarah sarcastically said as she took a sip of her drink while flippign Cassie off. Now it was Cassie’s turn to pout while everyone else was laughing at Sarah’s response. You had managed to get a few more questions off in between turns. You found things out like what plays she did when she was in high school, if she had any pets, and you finally got to ask her what her favorite movie was.
“Wait, do you mean in general, or my favorite movie of yours?” You really had only originally meant for the latter one, but at this point since she brought it up, you figured, why not both.
“Umm, let’s do both.” You replied with a smile. You swear you thought you say her blush, but with the dark lights of the bar, you couldn’t be 100% sure.
“Well as much as I love you as Captain America, I love Push.” Her answer surprised you.
“Oh really now. Okay so now what about in general”  This one had you more curious than the first answer she gave.
“Well. It’s a tie between The Breakfast Club and “  before she can say the second movie, Cassie cuts her off.
“The Princess Bride. She loves that movie more than life. She once put our friendship on hold because I hadn’t seen it yet”
“It’s not my fault that you hadn’t seen it yet. Don’t make it sound like I forced you!” Sarah countered back
“Alright yeah whatever. It’s your turn Sarah, and in case you didn’t notice, your losing”
Sarah just rolled her eyes at her friend, and focused on her turn. This time she made it. She jumped up and down and smiled so big and was so happy that she made it, you couldn’t help but be excited as well. Plus when she smiled her eyes crinkled just a little bit which made you smile even more. You thought she had forgotten that she now gets to pick someone to drink. As you opened your mouth to remind her of the rules you hear her voice
“Drink up bitch!” Sarah exclaims as she slaps her hand on Cassie’s back
“Ya know, if this is how nice you are to your friends, I would hate to be on your bad side.”  you chuckled as you made the joke. Sarah just turned and smiled and set her focus back on the game. Watching her become so focused was worth not getting the chance to ask her where she was from, you just decided you would afterwards. 
You noticed that Sarah was still behind in the game but slowly catching up. Without fail it was like you mentally jynxed everyone at the table, besides Sarah. Next thing you know, everyone has missed their shots, including yourself, and Sarah was caught up. Everyone was now down to their last quarter. It was now Sarah’s turn. She only had one quarter left.   She took her shot and made it. You couldn’t help but chuckle at her reaction. 
“Beginners Luck”  one of your friends says.
“I’m from Cleveland! I know how to make a comeback!” Sarah screamed. Her response sent you into a fit of laughter that had you laughing so hard you were crying.
“What?”  She turned and asked you when she saw you almost crying from laughing “I can’t believe you just said that, are you drunk right now?” You asked her.
“Oh sweetie, it takes a lot more than this to get me drunk.” She said with a wink.
“Oh yeah it does! Dude it’s like in her DNA or something” Cassie chimed in. Causing you to raise an eyebrow.
“IS that so?”
“It is so.” Sarah stated.
“Oh you think you can keep up with me?”
“I know I can keep up with you!” She quickly replied.
“If you really think you can, then prove it”
“You’re on!” 
There was no way this was actually happening. This girl was actually keeping up with you, shot for shot and drink for drink. It completely blew you away that when Cassie made the comment about her drinking more than you, and you just took it as Cassie trying to be a good wingman for her best friend. You were finding out that Cassie was not joking, that she was serious.
“Damn.”  Was the only response that made its way out of you mouth after you watched her down her third tequila shot without making the stereotypical face most people make when drinking tequila.
“What?”  Sarah questioned. At this point she was starting to slur her words just a little.
“You have straight up been through some shit if you can take tequila without making that face that everyone makes” 
“I would like to think a sting of dating narcissistic assholes who made me feel like everything was my fault. So here’s to them for raising my alcohol tolerance” She dramatic stated as she raised her glass. You almost laughed, but stopped when you noticed she wasn’t, and then you heard Cassie chime in
“You don’t need that fucker in your life hun, you are better off without him”  Cassie stated as she hugged her friend. A little piece of your heart broke when you saw how much that affected her, and you wanted to hug her. Maybe it was the alcohol running through your bloodstream, or maybe it was seeing a beautiful girl become slightly broken in your presence, but before you even realized what you were doing, you felt yourself wrapping your arms around her waist. You didn’t say anything, you just held her.
 Before too long, she shook those out of her head and very quickly suggested  moving on to the next activity.
“Alright, pool table is free! Let’s play! But first let’s drink! To new friends!” She yelled as she gave you a wink. You couldn’t help but smile at her. 
You all made your way over to the pool table and occupied they table nearby. 
“Are you as good at pool as you at out drinking me” You joked at Sarah. She giggled.
“To be honest with you, nope. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to pool. Wanna teach me?”  She said seductively
“I would be honored to teach you.”
As you were racking the table, a couple of other guys had made their way over to the table. 
���Hey man, wanna play teams, we wanted to play a game you guys just beat us here.” The stranger said. You looked over at Cassie and Sarah who both nodded and since your friends left shortly after the ‘drinking competition’ started, you figured why not.
“Sure man, not a problem”  you told them.
“Awesome, thanks dude! I’m John, this is my buddy Dave and my other buddy Matt”
“I’m Chris, this is Sarah and this is Cassie. How about we just do teams of three, you guys and us?” Everyone nodded in agreement and the game started.
Before you knew it  you had played 3 games, and had several more drinks. Dave had spent most of the time hitting on Cassie, she was taking it all in and flirting back. At one point you looked over and Matt was trying to flirt with Sarah. It made you mad, but you remembered earlier in the night when she handled herself, bit that was with a significantly lower amount of alcohol in her system. You kept an eye on Matt as he made his way back over to the bar, but it was your turn.
When you were able to focus again, you had noticed that Sarah had another drink in her hand, which worried you. You were  about to go grab it when the song changed to “Porn Star Dancing” by the band My Darkest Days, and you saw her put her drink down on the edge of the table, and make her way over to Cassie who was sitting down.
“I LOVE THIS SONG!” Sarah yelled and started swaying her hips to the music. You became mesmerized by watching her get lost in the music. Before you knew it, you saw her straddle, Cassie in her chair. Cassie put her hands up, clearly enjoying herself. You watched Sarah grind her hips against Cassie, and Cassie running her hands up her friends side, stopping when her hands reached Sarah's chest. and you wished you were Cassie in the moment. 
“How much padding is in your bra right now?” Cassie drunkenly asked Sarah.
“None!” Sarah proudly exclaimed. You couldn’t help but shake your head at what was happening right in front of you right now.
“Holy fuck! I am so jealous of you right now” Cassie yelled at her friend. Sarah just laughed and put her hands on Cassie’s shoulders continuing moving her hips to the rhythm of the song against Cassie.
Sarah pushed herself off of Cassie’s lap and turned around doing the same movements as before, only this time Cassie had her hands all over  Sarah’s behind. You couldn’t help but be even more jealous of Cassie now. As Sarah turned around she ‘bumped’ the table knocking the drink that Matt had gotten for her off and all over the floor
“Oopsy” Sarah said as she looked up and caught you staring at her. Matt was offering to buy her another drink. Sarah just ignored him and made her way over to you. Everything started to fade into the background. Everything but Cassie yelling “Get it girl”  as Sarah reached were you were standing. You remained motionless as Sarah reached her arms around your neck and pulled you closer to her.
“If you liked what you saw, there is more where that came from”
“Oh yeah?” you raised an eyebrow at her comment
“All you have to do is kiss me first, Unless you wanna stare some more” She smirked. 
Before she could say anything else, you leaned forward pressing your lips against hers. The second your lips touched, it was like fireworks went off. Every touch felt like electricity was running between the two of you. You placed your hands on her hips and pulled her closer to you, deepening the kiss as you did. As your hands moved their way lower on her back, her hand made their way to your hair, giving it a slight pull, which made you slightly moan into the kiss. Next thing you know, she pulled away from your kiss.
“If I would have known you were that good of a kisser, I would have sent Cassie over to you sooner.” Sarah stated, letting you know that this whole thing was actually her idea and not Cassie’s.
“Oh is that so?”
“Yes, it is so” She smiled at you
Well if I had known that you were so good at this, I would have kissed you sooner” You smiled as you pulled her for another kiss. Silently thanking your friends for inviting you out in the first place, because if it wasn’t for them, you wouldn't have met Sarah, and you wouldn’t have had the best night that you have had in a long time. That thought caused you to smile into your kiss.
“What?” Sarah pulled away slightly.
“ I was just making a mental note to thank my friends for wanting to hang out tonight, because if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. And I am really liking where I am at right now”  You chuckled and she giggled.
“Speaking of thanking friends.” She paused. “CASSIE!!!” She screamed, causing you to pull away from her.
“WHAT?!?!” Cassie screamed back.
“Thank you for dragging me out tonight. I love you bitch!” She yelled back at Cassie, blowing her a kiss.
“Love you too bitch!” Cassie returned the statement
You couldn’t help but laugh at their most recent exchange and the dynamic of their friendship.
“Now where were we?” Sarah asked, wrapping her hands around your neck once again. You  smiled.
“I think we were right about here” You stated as you placed your hands around her waist, resting them on her hips once again, pulling her for another kiss.
This really was the best night you had, and you were so glad you had come back home to Boston.
