find my king simon masterlist here and read from the beginning. also thank you to @alwaysshallow for the inspo for a scene, you'll know &lt;3
the travel was long, just like the secretary had warned, but the day was surely worth it. the train station was bathed in golden moonlight as it snowed soft, white flakes. you marveled at the whimsy of it all, the train station was quiet at this time of night, it just seemed so idyllic. as simon’s men unloaded all the luggage from the train cars, you took a moment to just take in the beauty around you.
-
“your highness?” the secretary questioned, noticing the king staring off after exiting the train car.
“yea’,” the king grunted, barely paying attention, eyes still focused out in the distance.
the secretary thought the king was taking in the scenery, the snow that was falling. snow hadn’t fallen yet back at the kingdom. “beautiful view, ay?”
the moonlight illuminated your features wonderfully, highlighting all of his favorite parts of you. your eyes looked tired from the long day, but your features were still so soft in the light. “yea’.”
-
you don’t expect much from this trip, you and simon are constantly surrounded by people, going from one place to another. the days are long and dreadfully boring, the only upside for you is the beauty of this new city. it makes you long for freedom. in all of your years of serving the king you had never felt trapped before, but unlike now, you felt like you had simon to lean on back then. now, not so much.
you began to resent your’s and the king packed schedule within the first few days of the trip, early mornings spent getting the king ready for breakfast with some politicians, and long, drawn out dinners with diplomats. you had no time to yourself, falling into bed immediately after being dismissed from simon’s quarters for rest. you and the king didn’t have much alone time either.
you had presented a challenge to him just days before your departure and you weren’t surprised that he had spent the last few days withdrawn from you. albeit frustrating, it was not an outright bad sign. you knew and understood that simon had difficulty knowing and expressing his feelings, and even though your patience was running thin with him, you didn’t want to give up on him completely. that bastard would always have a little piece of your heart reserved just for him no matter what he did.
your only reprieve of the trip came during your last full day, a diplomat having to cancel his post lunch meeting with simon last minute. simon’s secretary broke the news while you and the king were in the middle of a near silent lunch. you both had an early morning, the silence wasn't unwelcome.
“-now you have a few hours to yourself, your highness.” the secretary explained.
simon set down his fork, not even looking up at the secretary, instead fixing his gaze towards you, across the table from him. “would you like to take a walk with me? explore the city for a bit?” he requested.
it would be your first time being alone this entire trip, and even with your contentious moments the past few days, you don’t hesitate to say yes. you needed a break from meetings and meals with important people who barely even gave you a glance. and as much as you were conflicted about your feelings towards simon, you missed spending time alone with him.
you find a park not too far from the inn you're staying at and bundle up in heavy wools and scarves. luckily, it wasn’t snowing that day but the air was cool and crisp, making you tuck your nose into you heavy scarf. simon nudged you with his elbow as you two made your way towards the entrance of the park, you loop your arm through his easily, feeling his natural warmth through all of your layers.
you two are quiet for a while, just taking in the sights and sounds of the foreign city. no matter how much tension brewed between you two, how many sharp words you flung at each other, your time together never felt awkward. you could always lean on each other, no matter the circumstances. it was one of the reasons that made you think it might actually be love.
“how did you like it ‘ere?” simon broke the silence.
although you were starting to miss the familiar walls of the castle, you had to admit you were sad you were leaving this place tomorrow. it was new and different, a change you felt like you needed, but you barely got to experience any of it. “wish we had more time.” was all that you could say.
“yea’,” he agrees, thinking for a moment, “maybe we’ll come back in the spring, in time to see the flowers bloom.”
he says it so casually, yet full of conviction, we’ll come back. we we we. “we’ll come back?” you find yourself having to clarify.
“yea’,” he confirms, his footsteps coming to a halt. he looks down at you with a humorous smirk on his face, “think we deserve a bit of a vacation.”
your lips tugged up into a smile, feeling a familiar sense of fondness in your chest for the man stood beside you. but something nags at the back of your mind, spring? it was barely even november and he wanted to wait until the spring for a vacation. “why such a long wait?”
he seems caught off guard at your question, his eyebrows raising and his mouth opening without any sound coming out at first. good, you think. “well,” he starts, “you know how tightly my schedule is written, we both know there won’t be a substantial opening for months. there’s so much to do between now and then.
what you both know is that simon doesn’t know his own schedule, simon barely knows what he’s doing tomorrow. he leaves all the schedule stuff to you, you know what he’s doing on a daily basis. simon has never cared about sticking to his schedule, canceling plans and events he didn’t feel like going to just because he can. his old secretary used to scold you for allowing the king to get away with such childish antics, but it just meant you and the king got to spend more time together away from others.
how was he to know what was planned for him in the upcoming months? even if he did know, you would have liked to think that he would cancel whatever plans were stopping the two of you from getting away from the castle and your duties. as you to resume walking down the chilly path side by side you realize just how long you’ve spent waiting for him. waiting for him to change, waiting for things to be different. you had finally grown tired of waiting.

Tumblr media
“Hi, welcome in! Let me know if— Oh.”
Your voice falters, recognition and maybe even something similar to embarrassment flits across your face, and a split second later, you go back to smiling like nothing’s wrong. Like the two of you haven’t spent the better half of this month actively avoiding each other at all costs, even though the sprawling acres of the University of Tokyo suddenly feels too small. The entirety of Japan has felt too small ever since it became his mission to never cross paths with you ever again. 
This mission of his started just a little over two weeks ago, on the very same day you decide to use his heart as your own punching bag. The worst part of it all, though, is the fact that he doesn’t even hold any type of contempt for you. It’s a cruel sort of joke; sometimes, Atsumu Miya feels like everything bad that happens to him is just some sort of sick punchline in a sitcom instead of real life. 
Usually, when girlfriends find out their high school sweetheart is going to be a wildly successful (and rich) professional athlete, they’ll do anything in their power to hang onto him.
You decided to snip the invisible string tying the two of you together, and you did it so effortlessly, so quickly, that Atsumu had to make sure that he hadn’t been imagining the last four years of your relationship. 
He’s got his hands shoved in his pockets, and he’s torn between staring at you like a total creep or looking at everything in the campus bookstore but you. He settles for the former, scared that this will be his last opportunity to really look at you. 
Neither of you is saying anything. It’s a Saturday and so no one else is even in the bookstore this morning, and Atsumu wants to say something, anything, but he’s never been that great at carefully picking his words, and he’s scared out of his mind that he’ll say something stupid and prove once and for all that you had been right to break up with him. Better yet, he wants you to say something. He wants you to give him a better explanation instead of the bullshit you told him in his apartment. 
We just want different things.
What does that even mean? He thinks he would have shouted out that question, if only your little break up speech hadn’t caught him so off guard. Different things? The two of you wanted different things? Sure, Atsumu likes to sleep in a freezing cold apartment, and you need the room to actually be at a reasonable temperature. And maybe Atsumu has a penchant for overly fried, greasy foods when all you want (and deserve) is a fancy dinner. Maybe Atsumu wants to be at a sports store instead of browsing aisle after aisle in Sephora, but he doubts these different wants have accumulated so much that you felt you had no choice but to break his heart. 
“Hey, Miya.” You say it softly, dropping the perky customer service voice you greeted him with before you turned around and realized who he was. And he flinches. He fucking visibly cringes at the way you speak to him, walking on eggshells and going back to formalities like he’s barely above a stranger to you.
Miya.
(Did you know that he wanted to make that your last name?
Do you know that he still does, even now?)
“Hey,” he replies back, curling his fingers into fists inside his pocket. He thinks his voice comes out all scratchy, like how it always sounds when you don’t use your voice nearly enough. He clears his throat awkwardly. Everything feels awkward; everything feels wrong. He says “hey”, but what he really means to say is please don’t call me Miya; you know the color of my toothbrush, you don’t have to call me Miya. 
“Were you looking for something?” 
You.
Subconsciously, Atsumu finds himself seeking you out. He walks by another girl on campus and almost breaks his neck with the speed he turns around to catch a whiff of the perfume wafting from her body because he swears it’s the same fragrance you favor. He walks by the building that houses all the classrooms for your specific major, even though it’s located on the opposite side of his own classes because he secretly hopes against all hope that he’ll run into you, and you’ll see him and fall in love with him again. He goes to the same restaurants the two of you frequently ate at together, and he orders your usual because you can never finish your entire meal and always have him finish off the leftovers for you (and the food is always good, but somehow it doesn’t taste the same when your utensils haven’t touched it first). And he doesn’t even need to be here, doesn’t even care enough about his stupid class to go out of his way to buy the study guide, but he knows you’ve started picking up the weekend shifts at the campus bookstore, and suddenly, he cares enough about passing to get the damn study guide. 
He shrugs. “Just some stupid workbook to study for an upcoming exam, but it’s not that serious.” 
“Oh. Is Dr. Furata giving you a hard time again?” 
“How do you do that?” Atsumu blurts out, wanting to kick himself for giving too much of himself away. You already own every centimeter of his heart and maybe his soul. You don’t need anything else from him; he’s almost certain there’s nothing left for him to give you, but he can’t help but impulsively ask the damn question that’s been running through his mind ever since you left him behind. 
Did you know that when you’re confused, your brows furrow together, and you get this adorable, endearing crinkle in between them? Do you know that he still finds that same expression as cute as he did when you still called yourself his girlfriend? 
“What are you talking about?” 
How can you just stand there and act like you never crushed his heart? How do you wake up in the morning and not feel like your life is missing something important, like you’ll never feel whole again? How can you keep him wrapped around your finger, and then have the audacity to not even realize it? How did you let him go so quickly? 
Practicing caution, he swallows hard before clarifying, “How do you know everything?” Because if you can act like he’s just a polite acquaintance, like he’s nothing more than another fellow classmate, he can try to play pretend too. He can act like there’s not enough history between the two of you to fill up every damn textbook in this stupid store. “Yeah, Dr. Furata’s been on everyone’s ass. Somethin’ about midterm grades being worth a quarter of our overall grade.” 
“Believe me, you’re not the first victim of Dr. Furata’s to come wandering in the store. I think I have a few more of the workbooks he suggested in stock. Let me go check.” 
It’s instinct at this point for Atsumu to just follow you. If he uses his imagination, it’s almost like he’s back to browsing in a makeup store, walking aimlessly in every aisle, following you loyally because he’s happy to have you lead the way and he doesn’t care where he ends up, so long as you’re there with him. 
But this isn’t an afternoon date with you. This is him following a bookstore employee. After you find that study guide, which is really nothing more than his flimsy excuse for seeking you out, you’re going to ask him “card or cash?”, ring him up at the register, and he’s going to walk out that door and have to act like he’s still not in love with you. All the while, you’re doing fine. You’re fine right now, and you’re going to be fine when he leaves, and you’re probably going to be fine, five years down the line, when you’re happy with someone else and Atsumu is alone because in this little hypothetical, he still hasn’t gotten over you.
He is trailing behind you in this bookstore, and your back is facing him, and he’s panicking because he doesn’t think he’s capable of not loving you. 
Just two weeks ago, you knew him better than anyone else in the world, maybe even better than Osamu, perhaps even better than he knows himself. Now, you just give him a polite smile as you grab the small stool to reach the books located at the very top of the shelf. 
“God, I hate the way we organize everything in the store.” You say, lightheartedly complaining. He knows you do. He knows because he’s known you for nearly a decade. The two of you have grown up together. You made this same complaint sprawled out on the couch in his apartment. 
When he doesn’t reply, you look down to see if something’s the matter, only to do it too quickly that you find yourself losing your balance. Before you can come crashing to the floor, Atsumu is quick to catch you, and you pretend that his protective embrace isn’t comforting. You pretend not to notice that he’s wearing the cologne you bought him for Christmas last year, and you continue to pretend that you don’t miss him at all, that you don’t still love him. 
And for a second, the two of you both pretend that you’re still with each other. That it’s perfectly okay to savor this intimate moment, that his arms wrapped around your body right now isn’t awkward in the slightest. He’s staring at you with a sort of starstruck, boylike wonder, and it’s so familiar, so sweet, because it’s the way he always used to look at you. His lips part slightly, like he’s about to say something, and—
The loud ring! interrupts whatever moment the two of you are sharing, and you nearly jump out of his arms. You hear the distinct footsteps of another student, and you adjust your shirt before remembering where the two of you are — what the two of you are. Not a couple. Barely even friends. Just a bookstore employee and a student that needs a book. That’s all the two of you are allowed to be.
“I should probably go check up front and make sure they don’t need any help.” You tell him, biting down on your lip. “Anyway, did you need anything else, or would you like me to check you out right now?” 
He blinks a few times, as if still in a daze. “Uh, yeah, sure.” The tips of his ears are flushed a light pink. “Y-yeah, I’m done here.” 
The two of you practically race each other to the front of the store, and you step behind the counter to scan his workbook. He drums his fingers, looking around the store. When he’s nervous, he likes to be moving. You know this. 
Just looking for an excuse to use his hands, Atsumu mindlessly picks a pack of gum off a nearby rack and slides it towards you so you can also scan it. You know you shouldn’t say it. You know it’s supposed to be a clean break. Instead, you tell him, 
“Actually, if you want, I have the fruit variety flavor.” 
“Huh?” This catches his attention. 
You reach into one of the boxes that have just been shipped to the store, rummaging through a tiny one before revealing a shiny, new package of gum, this one advertising all the flavors based on tropical fruits. “Would you rather have this one?” 
“Oh, yeah!” As if truly forgetting what the two of you actually are (exes, strangers with too much history, two people still pretending like they’re not in love), his eyes light up. “How did you kno—” He doesn’t finish the question. He knows the answer to the question. 
You’re quick to finish ringing him up, the “polite strangers” illusion being completely shattered. It’s obvious, really, that there are always going to be parts of Atsumu that still live deep inside of you. You can only hope that this isn’t the case for him. 
You hand him the bag, and when he grabs it from you, your fingers just barely graze each other’s. Atsumu is scared — scared that this might be the last time he ever feels your touch. 
And because you’re a glutton for punishment, you find yourself telling him,
“Don’t be a stranger.”
You can’t tell who’s more devastated: you or him.

73 questions | Jamie Campbell Bower x y/n
if you’d like you can reblog my original work, but please don’t post it without credit. if you take inspiration from my ideas please tag me, I’d like to see how someone else would write it
Word count: 0.8k
warnings: pregnancy, twin pregnancy, pda a little ig, breastfeeding, ?
inspo/credit: @angelst4re
summary: Jamie does the 73 questions interview with vogue
“Hi, Jamie Campbell Bower. I’m here to ask you 73 questions,” the interviewer said and Jamie chuckled. He opened the door wider and said “sure, come on in,” There was a few toys on the table and some laundry waiting to be folded which Jamie apologized for but obviously the interviewer didn’t truly care, the house was in good shape for a having an energetic little 15 month old running through it all the time.
“Look who’s up from his nap- oh, oh I’m sorry…” you said and chuckled, accidentally interrupting the interview. Jamie smiled at you, involuntarily giving you heart eyes as he said “no, no it’s okay, sweetheart, don’t worry. Let’s see the little guy”
Jame carefully took Adam into his arms and smiled as his son wrapped his arms around his neck, burying his face where it meets his shoulder. You smiled and kissed your boys’ heads, leaving to let Jamie continue the interview.
Eventually they got back to the living room and found you sitting on the couch with old reruns of “Friends” playing. You turned it off and Jamie said “sorry, sweetheart, he really wants to nurse. He’s been saying “momma milk” for 3 minutes”
You chuckled and put a cover on and let him latch, but as soon as he did you took off the cover so it’d be easier to keep an eye on him. “Are you nervous about having 3 under the age of 2 soon?” He asked and you sighed.
“Yea, yea definitely. But I know y/n is an incredible mother and I try my hardest and we’ve learned so much from having the little man but it’s definitely going to be harder with 2 of them. It’s already been harder for you, hasn’t it?” He asked, running his hands through your hair.
You took a deep breath and said “oh, yea. Being pregnant with twins is no joke. I thought my pregnancy with Adam was hard, boy the pain is no joke when there’s two of them. But I do hope I get to carry them as long as possible, I really want these babies to be healthy”
“Do you plan on having more kids after this?” He asked and you and Jamie chuckled. You rubbed your bump a little and Jamie said “maybe 1 more, we’re already gonna have our hands full for a while so maybe in a couple years we’ll have one more but for now we want to have these two and take a break. We always wanted our babies close in age but now that we’re about to have 3 in less than 2 years we’re gonna slow down a little”
You smiled and he wrapped his arm around you, smiling as Adam was grinning up at the two of you as he suckled away for milk. “Are you going to move into a bigger house in preparation for your daughters?” He asked and Jamie shook his head.
“No, no this house has 6 rooms and unless we end up having more kids we really like this house and want to stay in it as long as possible” he said, caressing your shoulder. He asked a few more questions about your little family, and then Jamie’s music, and other projects.
You winced and said “sorry…the girls love to kick at my ribs” “oh…do they kick often?” He improvised, and you chuckled. Jamie placed a hand on your belly and you said “yea, they do. But they calm down instantly once they hear Jamie’s voice or he touches my bump”
“So it’s safe to say they’ll be daddy’s girls?” He improvised as well and you nodded, fake rolling your eyes and pretending to be annoyed. They both laughed and Jamie continued massaging your belly trying to make sure you were comfortable.
Eventually Adam fell asleep, and so did you and then the interview finished. “Sorry, I-I know this was kind of supposed to be just him,” you said when you woke up after Jamie moved to walk him out.
“No, no it was great, I think the producers will be very happy that you were involved as well” he said and you smiled a little. Jamie led him out and you got up (definitely not on the first try, but we don’t need to talk about that) and put Adam in the nursery.
A few days later…
The video was posted and the fans literally went insane. It had gotten to 10 million views after 24 hours, and there were thousands of comments. You’d even already found some edits and videos of fans pointing out little things like looks between you and Jamie, or the way he smiled at you, or the way he looked at you while you fed Adam, and the way his big hand still can cover most of your bump, even with two babies in there this time.
“aren’t we just so in love?” He mocked slightly, chuckling as you two cuddled up on the couch to watch it. You smiled and said “I guess we are…” He smiled, kissing your head and rubbing your belly, holding all three of his girls in his arms with the biggest smile on his face.
As of now I’m writing for
Eddie Munson
Joseph Quinn
Jamie Bower
Steve Harrington
Robin Buckley
Eddissy
Maya Hawke
So just comment the taglist you want to be added to and I’ll add you :)

Hi!
First off, I LOVE your story. You’re so strong and every obstacle you over came made you into the beautiful person you are.
Second, I have a question, you don’t have to answer .. but does writing about your life eve trigger old emotions or make you sad during the harder times? I just always wonder how a writer feels when they’re writing their stories esp. when it’s a personal one.
I adore you. 🤍
Hey, friend! 🤗
Thank you sm! This is so sweet! 🤧 💜💜💜 and I apologize for my "long" absence. This week school started and well, was a bit hectic and stressful.
And of course, I’ll answer your question. You can ask me anything!
To your question. When I started with that Simself thing (2 or 3 years ago), I didn’t think anything serious about it. It was just some kind of... gameplay fun?
I remember having Sandra’s Simself in my library. Seeing her Simself made me so sad. I came up with the idea to tell her/our story. By now, most of you few, who still follow my story after all this time, know, that Sandra is no longer with us. 😞 Sandra was a part of my life. We were together all the time. But somehow I couldn’t understand certain things Sandra did or experienced. I'm simply not her! But I will tell what happend to S.! Soon. I just have to.
And the more I started to tell about myself, my family & Sandra, the more... complex it became. And I remember how unpopular Nico was at the beginning.🤭 A nice person here, was even worried about me and my little son. 😬 She knew I was still with him. But I wasn't offended or upset. I understand, some topics are serious and I certainly have often expressed myself incorrectly. My English was totally shitty, bad & embarrassing. 😶‍🌫️🤦‍♀️
Over time, however, I decided to write about my addiction. This was hard! I was ashamed and totally nervous when I first posted it. But I got a very nice message from another Simblr here. She had the same issue and we even become friends. But unfortunately, she is no longer active here on Tumblr. Idk what happend to her? ☹️ Maybe some of you know who I mean?...
Back to the topic: As for my addiction, I noticed that I can write about it without getting/having this ....craving for that drug. I totally forgot after almost 7 years, how it even feels to be high. And do not intend to do this shit ever again!
As for my feelings and emotions, yea, I cried when I told certain things. It made me sad, but I knew the future and this fact made it possible for me, to continue. That I could write about Nico's & my break-up, I only succeeded, because I knew this wasn't our end. He was right next to me, in the room next door, while I was writing about it.
As for Daniel, the whole thing looks totally different. When I started to write about this... triangle thing between Philip, Nico and me, I didn’t want to tell/write about Daniel a little later in the future. I was afraid I’d be considered crazy. I mean, this is insane and also embarrassing, what I have experienced and done with those 3 men. I thought when I started telling you about Daniel and that I even got married to him, nobody would take me seriously anymore. How can I fall in love with 3 different men, in just one damn year? You know? But when I played with Daniel’s Simself, I realized I couldn’t do this to him! 😭 I felt so bad, that I decided to just tell the truth. Even if people don’t take me seriously afterwards or think I’m a lunatic, hidding the truth or changing reality, is just weak and cowardly. Also why I wasn't sure, if I should tell about Daniel is, I was afraid of the feelings I still had for him. I knew, once I remember Daniel and the time with him... my life, my reality, will become complicated. But it was too late anyway. Daniel was already in my mind and heart, before I mentioned him here. And actually last year, I went through a very though time. I was depressed. It was hard for me to write about my life. I just didn’t see any hope. Mainly, because of my illness. My leukemia levels have worsened. As it looked, I had to take a new drug which has very serious side effects. So I got panic attacks again and was afraid to leave our home. The only task I could do alone was to pick up my son from kindergarten. I couldn’t do anything outside our four walls by myself without help, without Nico or someone else by my side. I was just scared...
I decided to continue my story. I thought, if I can do that, I can continue IRL too! The chapter Daniel went on forever. 🥵😔I noticed that I can’t let go of Daniel, neither in Sims nor in my reality. I just wanted to move on and finally close Daniel's & my chapter. But it was hard. IRL I started to withdraw. I didn’t let anyone get to me. All the feelings and emotions that have been triggered by writing my story have made something clear to me. I had to see Daniel! And I swear, seeing him and having him with me, helped me get out of my depression. The darkness that surrounded me faded, thanks to him. ❤️
So yes, writing about my life definitely brought up emotions in me and also opened up old wounds. But some wounds that I thought would never heal, are gone. Just because I told and wrote about it, I was able to reflect on some experiences and conclude with them. Especially my relationship with Nico has become more stable.❤️
Anyway, telling my story taught me one thing! After every difficult, hard life phase, follows a good one. Last year was hell, but I managed to take care of myself and my health. And I also got good news about my illness last month. My leukemia levels stabilized and I didn’t have to change my medication. Even if everything seems hopeless, small miracles can happen. And so that these little miracles don’t fall into oblivion, I write about them. Certainly not perfect and flawless. I am still learning. And I lost a lot of time last year, because I wrote and posted so irregularly, but I hope that I will get better in the future and my posts will be shorter again. 😬
Thank you sm for this ask. You also inspired me to improve my storytelling skills, reading your stories helped me a lot and I love Delilah. I’m always excited when I click on your posts to catch up on Deli’s life.💜🤗

hey lalil ^^
it's me from that last anon ask of Bruno, Abbacchio and Diavolo kissing hcs, remember? I ended up forgetting about Mista :') so I wanted to see if it's ok for you to write, in addition to his part, a nsfw part of all of them too. Like, the parts of their fem!s/o's body they like to kiss, for exemple 😳
I love your writing <3
OOOOOOH I'M GLAD THAT UR BACK! I just enjoyed so much writing ur last request! And thank u for liking my writing🥺👉👈
Bucciarati, Abbachio and Diavolo kisses hcs✨💋(They're all sfw, but a little suggestive)
Mista
His kisses are...lively? Like, you can feel his love just by pressing your lips a little, ya know? Also, he l o v e s to hold your waist while kissing.
SOFT lips, they're even a little shiny if u ask me😌
Love pecks! In the forehead, neck, tip of your nose and especially in your cute checks!
Is a must to kiss u kn public, like "YEA, THAT'S MY GIRL, KEEP WALKING BRO" For him, be with you is surely a honor.
He is the type who trow you on his arms and give u a movie kiss. He's a romantic, but also a provoker~ Will bit your bottom lip after a passionate kiss🥴
NSFW
Tumblr media
Bucciarati
As said in the previous post, he's a provoker. He just like it so much when he kiss your neck and hear your sighs, but, surely, he wants more than that.
The private kisses are the best and i know u can guess why 😏 He loves to place long licks on your neck while his slender, yet warm, fingers slight play with your entrance.
Be a good girl and beg him for it🤭 Don't worry, u don't need much effort, he just like to hear that u want him.
His kisses during sex are also filled with love, for him, sex is 100% meaningful. Obviously chooses positions where he can see you face and kiss it💙
Cuddle time kisses are all lovely dovey! At every interval of his "kisses attack", he praises you.
Abbacchio
Best places to kiss you: neck and tighs
Loves to leave lipstick stains on your pretty skin, they suit u so well! My my, this guy loves to bite too~😋
His hands easily travel your body and stop by your waist, pulling you closer and closer until you can feel him against you😏
Sex kisses are absolutelly full of desire, they're hot, just like our silver haired boy. After all that he likes to admire your body. Well, more like what did he do with it.
This boy seems so cold, but his heart melts for you…He loves to kiss you, fell you and hold you…He knows that he doesn't say it oftem, but he loves you deeply💜
Diavolo
Ohohoho, this man~ U already know how it works, right? Ur his and u must be thankfull for it🤭
His kisses make u go after him, if u want it u must behave well and maybe he will give it. His kisses are pure poison, but a sweet one, that make you addicted to it.
Your tighs, neck and breasts are his favorites, always leaving marks on it, and don't u dare to hide it, darling🤗
Easily take your clotches off while ur into the kiss. Intense, hot, powerfull; his kisses are always like this, implies dominance. Your body is just like a doll's one on his hands.
He let u sleep after and took this time to look at your figure by his side. You're so fragile, he can break you anytime he feels like it, but something stops him…He wonder what is it🥺
Mista
He loves to kiss, literaly, every inch of you, his favorite place is all of you. Well, but surely during something more spice he goes for tighs and lips.
You can feel his eyes on you while kissing, he's with lust on his eyes, soon his soft lips start to go down with his hands and in a snap your shirt is off.
Oh this boy loves to fell that your desiring for his touch, he wants to see your begging fot it, but the poor boy can't even hold himself back😫
He easily travels on the kiss, this felling is just like pure euphoria for him🧡 His kisses are a little sloopy but also very sweet.
After, he just doesn't believe that ur with him, he just loves you so much! MORE KISSES INCOMING!

Draken HC's that made my teeth rot.
Tumblr media
𖤐 Shut up, no one read these. They’re soft as shit and honestly, a lil ooc?? But I don’t care HSJWHJ it’s for me 😌 I caved and posted these strictly for Kenny lovers. Will I add to it? Porbably. Will I make an NSFW one? Duh.
𖤐 Warnings: you’re gunna have a heart attack cause these are so soft and stupid and gross. Honestly don’t even read this. Pass it by. You don’t need it it’s fine
Putting 18+ MINORS DNI just cause I don’t want ya here. Go away. Shoo.
Tumblr media
He wakes up first not because he wants to, but he has to for work. Some mornings when he’s feeling a little too sleepy and grumpy he’ll pull you up against him
His palms rest over your tummy, his nose is pressed into the back of your neck, face lost in your hair
Only squeezes you tighter if you try and squirm away, will mimic your whines too
“Quit whinin I’m fueling up.”
Once he finally gets up, he tries to be quiet for your sake but he has a heavy step and doesn’t even realize it 💀 man stomps like he’s 400 pounds. So you’re up up before he leaves
If you’re awake enough he’ll ask you to braid his hair before you leave, if not he’ll put it in the ponytail <33
Doesn’t make you breakfast per se but makes you a coffee (how you like it, of course. He’s memorized it but won’t admit it) but he does cook you eggs cause he claims you always break the yoke
Fucking loves the weird little trinkets you collect him even though he stares at them blankly when you give them to him
Find flowers for him? They'll be on the shops reception desk till they die <3
You buy him a cute lil kitty keychain, one that matches the one on your phone? It’s on his motorcycle keys
You give him a cute little hello kitty sticker? It’s on his helmet
You make him a bracelet with bright coloured beads? He’s wearing it to work and Inui feels his wrath if he makes fun of it
Really likes when you can come into the shop to eat lunch with him
Especially if he’s dealt with shitty customers, your cute smile and little wave is enough to get the grin back on his face
You ramble when you eat but he’s completely silent, nodding along to what you say
Only speaks up when you choke
“Goofy, you’re gunna choke”
Wipes food from your face with his napkin or uses his thumb 🥺
Will mumble something like “messy” or “use your napkin” but only when he feels like flustering you
when y’all are in public, he keeps his hand IN UR BACK POCKETTT 😩
And if you don’t have a pocket he likes interlocking pinkies <333
Man has a natural resting bitch face and when you call him out like
“Kenny, you’re scaring ppl…”
“M’not even doin anything”
So many fucking forehead kisses my LORD he can’t even help it. Y’all are waiting in line somewhere, he’s looking at your phone screen over your shoulder? Expect a forehead kiss. He’s getting up to use the restroom during dinner? Gives you a forehead kiss. Hello’s and goodbyes? Forehead kisses. Period.
You FaceTime him a lot when he’s at work and he answers every time like
“😠 hey. You eat yet? What, yea my days boring— did you eat yet?😠”
Sometimes he likes to watch you do your makeup, cause he really likes the concentrated looks you make when you do your eyeliner or when you do pretty eyeshadow
It’s so fucking cute sometimes it even makes him blush a little, tips of his ears going pink first
Rubs his thumb over your pouting lower lip in literally any situation. If you're pouting while y’all are playing around he’ll push on it a bit with a grumble. If it’s cause you’re asking for something he’ll smooth his thumb over it once before tapping the middle gently. “You’re so spoiled…”
The boys tell him this, that he spoils you. He’s like 🤨 obviously she is? Why the fuck would I not spoil her?
Call you little love (shut the FUCKUP—)
Once he notices your blushing/getting flustered he will grin, continuing what he was saying or touching you a little more.
“Oh yea? That’s gettin to ya huh? M’just complementing ya baby…”
Rests his chin or cheek on the top of your head all the time 🥺
OKAI LISTEN HSJBSSJ you know that tiktok of the guy talking in baby talk to his girl and then he realizes he’s being filmed and his voice goes all deep and he’s like “ayo delete that shit”
TGATS DRAKENNNNNN
HE BABY TALKS YOU. I KNOW IT
Holds your purse/backpack/shopping bags for you <33
He buys you specific stuffed animals he knows you want or knows you’ll like
Tries to act cool about them when he buys them before work and keeps them in the shop
The boys: “what is that thing?” Him: “oh it’s a squishmellow—“ “a what…?” “Ah— I dunno it’s a plushie alright—“
He rolls his eyes when you ask him to take pics with you, cause he doesn’t really like selfies, but he still does that little smirk of his you love to see in every pic <3
Very much likes to take pictures of you though
Has to ask you though cause he kinda feels bad not asking?
“Hey babe, can I take a picture of you right now? You look really pretty”
This one he doesn’t even mean to get you flustered he genuinely means it
He only has one really serious rule, he has to open the door first. He doesn’t trust a closed-door, cause he never knows what might be lurking on the other side. So he always opens the door first, always.
HANDSY DRUNK HANDSY DRUNK
hand on your hip, low on your hip. Kisses to the corners of your lip and on the backs of your shoulders, murmurs of how sexy you look in your dress, pulling you into his lap when at a bar stool, pulling you back further into him when you grind on the dance fLOOR—
Has a tendency of knowing what you need before you tell him
“Baby? I bought you tampons today since you’re getting your period soon— no i don’t think you’re moody, it’s cause you’re having cravings dork.”
Super respectful when he meets your parents. But he does still swear sometimes and every time he does he’s like “shit— sorry” 🙃
Speaking of periods he lays his head on your tummy and rubs it when you have really bad cramps
Also offers to massage your back or feet or whatever makes your muscles less sore
His gold chain has your name engraved on it
He only has one other tattoo other than his dragon tattoo, and that’s a little heart tattoo you both have on your ring fingers
Is the type to come up behind you and scare you just to snort when he hears you squeal, but also the one to cover your eyes when a scary commercial comes on cause he knows it scares you
Even though he’s way too long for the bath he likes taking baths with you, it’s just relaxing. Even though his legs stick out I'm--
Plus he loves washing your hair. Sure he loves when you wash and run your fingers through his, but it’s just— washing your hair is one of the best ways he can show he cares about you 🥺
Buys the cheesiest store brand birthday cards 😭😭 and same with the vday ones
One of his favourite things that you do that he literally LOVES is when you trace the lines in his palm. Using the tip of your fingers so gently as you follow his lifeline across his palm
“Baby, your lifeline is kinda short…”
“Oh yea? Well how long is yours?”
“Hmm… longer.”
“Impossible, it’s gotta be me keepin your goofy ass alive.”

pairing: bff!calum hood x fem!reader
summary: a drunken text meant for your ex shows up on calum’s phone and leaves him questioning everything he’s missing out on with his best friend.
warning(s): talk of a previous bad relationship, y/n’s ex body shamed her, mentions of alcohol, insecurity, smut, cursing
word count: 4.7k
Tumblr media
You’ve decided that 3 glasses of wine is your happy medium, but even a sip into the 4th and there’s no telling what you’ll do. 
So, naturally you were finishing up your 5th glass on Friday night while angrily scrolling through your exes instagram when you got what seemed to be an incredible idea. It was simply too tempting not to, your mind was feeling hazy which made your confidence skyrocket, and you truly did just look good. 
A day of pampering had left you in a black floor length silk robe with nothing but your favorite deep cherry red lingerie set underneath. Your face was bare and glowing after a refreshing and illuminating face mask, and your lips were left glossy and plump from a new scrub. 
You had posed in front of the floor length mirror in your living room, giggling between snaps until you had taken the perfect shot. It was classy but provocative, the dressing gown slipping from your shoulders exposing the lace of your bra and a tasteful amount of cleavage. You had also left the bottom open, allowing a clear shot of your thighs and the curve of your ass from where you sat on your knees. 
With a mischievous glint in your eyes you selected the picture into a message, typing a cheeky, “take a good look at everything you’re missing”  and sending it off to your ex (or so you thought). 
But you really couldn’t be blamed for your mistake, Cam and Cal were far too similar for your drunk brain to decipher the difference. You also couldn’t be blamed for the fact that you dozed off on the couch immediately after sending it, before you even had a chance to recognize your humiliating mistake. 
You were awoken by the ringing of your phone at around 9:00 am, way too early for your liking. Before even registering who it was, you brought the phone to your ear and groaned a sleepy, “hello,” 
“At your door.” a voice you recognized as your best friend responded. 
“M’coming” you said, scooting off the couch. On your way to the door you registered that you were still scantily covered, the robe falling off of you as you walked. You clutched it around you as you swung the door open to a wide eyed, Calum Hood. 
“G’morning.” he smirked, looking you up and down. 
“Shh” you hushed, pulling him in by the arm. “Why in the world are you here so early?”
He lightly laughed while taking a seat at the kitchen table, eyes following you while you moped over to the fridge and pulled out two water bottles. 
“Well,” he sighed as you handed him one. “I got a very interesting text last night and I figured I just had to come over and see, y’know everything I was missing.” he spoke in a teasing tone as he gestured a hand down your body.
You tugged your eyebrows together in confusion. There was something familiar about what he was saying, but not familiar enough for you to put the pieces together. 
“What are you talking about?” you questioned bringing the water bottle to your lips. 
Calum shrugged his shoulders, a smirk still glued to his face as he took out his phone and began looking for something. After a few seconds he extended his arm to hand you his phone. You accepted it and glanced down absentmindedly as your body slumped against the counter.  
The second your eyes hit the screen it all came back to you, your mouth fell open and you straightened out, suddenly very awake, not to mention very mortified. 
Calum on the other hand was buzzing. Actually, he had been ever since his phone dinged last night awakening him from his sleep. Well, buzzing and extremely, extremely sexually frustrated. 
When he first opened your message and saw the picture that would now be making a regular appearance in his wet dreams, he had nearly choked on his own breath. He knew that it was most likely a drunken mistake, and while that slightly saddened him it didn’t stop his dick from plumping up at the sight, straining uncomfortably against his boxers. He seriously debated wanking to the tempting image but decided against it, thinking it would be a gross violation of your privacy since it wasn’t even meant for him. Oh how he wished it was. Unfortunately that meant he had been sporting an exceptionally sensitive halfie since then. 
“Oh my god.” you groaned, sitting the phone down on the counter and covering your eyes in humiliation. “Cal I’m soooo sorry, I was drunk, and overly confident, and I meant to send this to Cam and now I’m just, I’m sorry.” you reiterated. 
‘Hey, don’t apologize on my account.” he countered. “Plus, you should be thrilled you sent it to me and not that asshole, doesn’t deserve ya.” 
“I know, you’re right. Doesn’t change the fact that I’m mortified though. S’bit ridiculous, get a little alcohol in my system and I have a god complex all of a sudden” you rambled, running your hands through your hair nervously. 
Calum stood and pulled you into his arms, resting his chin on the top of your head. 
“You think too much, y’know that?” he quipped. 
You turned your head, pressing a cheek against his sweater clad chest and mumbled, “Yea I’ve been known for that.” 
Calum softly chuckled at your words before pressing a chaste kiss to the top of your head and pulling apart. 
“S’really no big deal, y/n.” a teasing grin plastered on his face. “Besides I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.”
“Calum!” you scolded, swatting a hand at his arm. 
He dodged your hit just in time and held his hands up in surrender before taking his seat again. 
“Why'd you let that dick bother you anyway? Y’know you’re way out of his league.” 
Your jaw clenched at the question, your mind wandering to every time you had come to Calum crying after your ex had done something to hurt you. Everytime he commented on your “stomach pudge” as he liked to call it, when you wore a tight dress to go out. Or when he would ask if you were really “that” hungry, even if you hadn’t eaten much at all. And each time you would feel absolutely wretched and end up sobbing in Calum’s arms, but refusing to tell him why you were so, so sad. 
“He texted me the other day y’know?” you muttered under your breath, while fiddling with the coffee machine. 
“Really? What’d he say?” Calum responded, watching your back with narrowed eyes. 
“Uh, he saw me the other night, when we were at that bar with the guys.” you said, shaky fingers pulling out a mug. 
“And?” he spoke flatly. 
“It’s stupid really,” you sniffled, willing your voice not to break. “He said I put on a few pounds, that he was glad he got out when he did.” your bottom lip traitorously jutted out as you turned to face him. 
“Fucking dick.” he hissed. 
Calum wasn’t necessarily proud of the violent images that flashed through his mind at the thought of that asshole finding yet another way to hurt you but, the sad little quiver of your lip allowed him to reason without a doubt that they were fair. 
Before you could even blink he was holding you again, arms impossibly tight around you. . 
“He’s wrong, y/n. Fuck, I don’t know how to even...he’s just so wrong.” he said softly, his hand rubbing your back reassuringly. 
“I know.” you whimpered, holding tears back. 
He pulled back enough to look you in the eyes, arms still firm around your waist. 
“No you don’t. It’s...It really fucking pisses me off that he makes you feel like this. It’s like-fuck you’re just like-” he moved his hands to cup your cheeks. “You really are gorgeous.” 
Your heart fluttered at his words, and your whole body felt warm as you stared at his big brown eyes. His words felt sincere, everything about him felt so sincere. 
“Thank you, Cal.” 
He pulled you back into his chest, “Really wish I could just, like hug away all his bullshit.” 
“M’used to it.” you mumbled. 
“You don’t deserve any of it.” 
“Yea, well what can you do.” you sighed, moving out of his embrace. 
Calum’s eyes were still glued to you as you stirred a spoonful of sugar in your coffee. 
“I hope you don’t let anything he says get to you.” 
You let out a breath of exhaustion. 
Confidence wasn’t something that you used to struggle with. I mean sure, there were spouts of insecurity here and there but you knew your worth, and you considered yourself pretty, hot even. That had all changed a few months into your latest relationship. First it was the backhanded compliments which quickly turned into passive comments, and then outright cruel insults. People really underestimate the toll their words take on others, especially when the person that’s making you feel so ugly and worthless, is one that you adore and who’s supposed to adore you right back, no matter what. 
“I try but, he can’t just be making it all up.” you were ashamed. When did you become the girl that lets a guy affect how she sees herself? That just wasn’t you. 
“He is. He’s insecure and a douche. He was probably trying to destroy your confidence to the point that you felt like you couldn’t leave him.” Calum assured. “But you’re way too strong for him, dumped his sorry ass anyway.” 
You smiled gratefully at his words, taking a seat next to him. 
“Yea, so strong I tried to send him half naked pictures for reassurance.” 
Calum shook his head, “I wish you could see how hot you are.” 
Your eyes widened at the compliment, your head dropping to avoid his stare as blood rushed to your cheeks. 
“I’d be happy to reassure you whenever you want.” he continued, bumping his knee against yours under the table. 
“Doesn’t count.” you dismissed, before sipping your coffee. “You're my best friend, you’re obligated to tell me I’m pretty.” 
“Doesn’t mean I don’t mean it.” he muttered back quietly, his expression dropping slightly. He hated when you deflected his compliments. All he ever wanted to do was make you feel good, and you made it very difficult for him when you blocked every swing he took at the wall of insecurity that Cam had built around you. He would kill Cam if he could. 
You let out an apologetic sigh, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your face in his shoulder. 
“M’sorry, you’re right. I love you for that, the only thing keeping me sane.” 
Your heart squeezed as he hugged you back. 
Calum was perfect, he was sweet, and funny, and quite literally your favorite person on earth. Not to mention you had been hopelessly in love with him since practically the beginning of your friendship. But as his best friend you had heard over and over just how uninterested he was in a relationship. Everytime you would ask about his love life he would just respond, 
“I’m just not the boyfriend type, m’not cut out for it.” shrugging nonchalantly. 
Which you thought was laughable because anyone would be lucky to have him as a boyfriend, in fact sometimes you would let yourself pretend he was yours. 
Like,in a busy club with his hands on your hips, guiding you through the crowds. So close behind, you could feel each exhale on the back of your neck, as his eyes darted around the room to ensure there weren’t any potential threats to your safety, in the form of drunk overzealous flirts. Or after a night out when he got cuddly and clingy, and would find his way from the couch into your bed. You’d wake up with his cheek pressed against your chest and his arms snaked around your torso as he released soft breaths that caused goosebumps to rise on your exposed skin. You’d let yourself imagine that you had this every morning and that he would wake up any minute to smother your face in kisses and tell you he loved you. And of course, here he was again this morning being so thoughtful and kind and everything you wanted in a boyfriend. And here you were again swimming in his praises and physically having to restrain yourself from kissing him. 
Begrudgingly, you pulled away and stood up. 
“Gonna get changed.” you spoke. 
“I’m making us breakfast.” Calum called as you walked away. You hummed in response and slipped into your room. 
Once in the privacy of your own room you quickly pulled on a pair of leggings and a hoodie before scurrying to the bathroom sink and splashing cold water on your face in hopes of ridding yourself of any romantic thoughts towards your best friend.
Although you weren’t aware, Calum was doing the very same thing just a few feet away. Internally reminding himself repeatedly that it was never gonna happen with you. He wasn’t good enough to be anyone’s boyfriend, let alone yours. You didn’t want him that way and he could almost trick himself into believing that he was okay with that.
You hastily finished brushing your teeth before returning to the kitchen. You were greeted with the sight of Calum’s back, he stood over the toaster cutting an avocado and humming a song you didn’t recognize quietly to himself.  He looked over his shoulder as your footsteps approached. 
“Hungry?” he questioned. 
“You have no idea.” you affirmed, as he fixed a plate for you both. 
“Good. I was thinking we could watch something while we eat,” 
“Fine with me.” you responded, hoping he wouldn’t notice the distraction laced in your voice. Your focus had easily been stolen from the conversation to how easy it was to see his back muscles flex through the thin material of his jumper. 
But of course he did, it was Calum after all. 
“Y’alright?” he said, handing you a plate. 
“Uh, yep.” you rushed out. 
“Not still thinking about Cam, are you?” 
“No, not at all.” you answered honestly, walking to the couch, Calum trailing closely behind you. 
“Then what’s got you all flustered?” 
“You” you thought, taking a seat in the furthest corner. 
“I’m not flustered.” 
“Bullshit” he countered, sitting practically on top of you. 
You let out a huff, and motioned to the other  completely empty side of the couch. 
“Is there a reason we aren’t practicing personal space right now?” 
He laughed softly at your question and nuzzled closer into your side. 
“Yea, you’re all pouty, looks like you need a cuddle.” 
 “I’m really fine Cal.” you shoved him lightly but saw no results, he just scooched in even closer and bit into his toast. 
The two of you sat in silence while some newly released action movie played on your TV. Calum’s arm was wrapped around your shoulders keeping you tight to his side, and although you could’ve sworn that you had been in this exact same position hundreds of times, you felt as if this were the very first time. Every single one of your nerves were on fire and the warmth that had flooded your body was making you antsy. 
Feeling overwhelmed by your senses, you allowed your eyes to flutter close with a deep inhale. 
“You okay?” Calum whispered, dipping his head down slightly to reach your ear.
You opened your mouth to respond but didn’t trust your voice to protrude through your shaky exhales, settling for a subdued nod instead. 
“You sure?” his words were long and drawled out, despite your eyes being closed you knew his proximity from the feeling of his breath just behind your ear. 
Before you could speak up his hand secured itself just above your knee, and your muscles flexed involuntarily at the contact. 
“Relax, y/n” he continued, his thumb beginning to run repeatedly over a spot on your inner knee. 
Everything in your brain was screaming at you to excuse yourself, maybe even kick him out, anything to gain some space and hopefully some clarity from the cloud of sexual tension that was looming over the two of you and blurring boundaries at lightning speed. But you were essentially frozen in place, petrified that any movement would alert Calum to the way he was affecting you. 
Your head lolled back to rest on his forearm which was lying behind you on the couch and finally peeled your eyes open, staring up at the ceiling. 
He watched you from the corner of his eye, taking note of every rise and fall of your chest, every thick swallow of your throat. 
If there was one thing Calum was well versed in, it was his ability to read you, he liked to think he knew you better than anyone else in the world. He could tell exactly how you were feeling just by watching you, your face, your breathing and he was more than shocked when he started getting the feeling you were no longer upset but something far more appealing. 
Were you turned on? Right here in his presence? The thought made blood rush to his dick, which twitched in his pants when another breathy sigh passed your lips. 
“What’re you thinking about, love?” 
Everything in you urged you to answer honestly, just tell him the truth. “You, I’m thinking about you. I’m always thinking about you.” But you couldn’t do that, so instead you deflected. 
“What’re you thinking about?” you countered, meeting his eyes. 
Calum questioned his next words very carefully, debating whether or not he could recover if he was wrong about what you were feeling and you shut him down. It was pointless though, he knew he would never recover from your rejection. He also knew that spontaneous combustion wouldn’t look very good on his tombstone and that’s exactly what would happen if he spent one more minute not kissing you. 
Fuck it. 
“That pretty little set you had on last night.” he confessed. 
That you weren’t expecting. 
A quiet whine rang from your throat and you were far too affected to feel embarrassed. 
And that did it, Calum was now impossibly hard in his pants, no doubt leaking precum onto his boxer briefs. He needed to get his hands on you, now. 
His hand started to slowly travel up your thigh, goosebumps rising on every centimeter they passed. 
“So gorgeous in red, aren’t ya y/n?”
“Cal,” you hissed when his thumb brushed the sensitivity of your inner thigh. 
“Mm.” he hummed. “It’d be pretty hard fo’me to stop right now, but I will if that’s what you want. Is that what you want, love?” 
He was sure he’d cry if he had to let go of you now, but he needed to hear you say it. 
“No, don’t wanna stop.” you whined, turning your body flush to his.
“Whaddya want then, baby? Hm?” You could feel his every word on the flushed skin of your neck as he leaned into the crook.
“Want you.” 
He could’ve came then and there. 
“Then I’m all yours.” he admitted before crashing his lips on yours. 
Your heart was in your stomach as his tongue entered your mouth, explorative and eager. He was too busy memorizing your taste to notice your fingers tugging at his sweater. You attempted to push it up desperate to feel his skin under your hands. You were able to pull the fabric up about halfway before they were blocked by his arms that were holding you close against him.
Calum laughed when you pulled apart from the kiss, giving him a disappointed look. 
“Want it off?” he teased. 
You couldn’t bother to be embarrassed when you nodded eagerly in response. He didn’t waste any time peeling the fabric off of his skin, and you were quick to lightly run a finger across the ink feather just below his collarbone. 
Now it was his turn to tug on your clothes, “Level the playing field?” 
You nodded, lifting your arms and allowing him to lift the sweatshirt over your head leaving your chest completely bare. Calum groaned at the sight of your tits, his hands quickly finding your waist and tugging you down to lay on your back in one swift motion. 
Once you were laid out in front of him he took the opportunity to explore the new skin. His hands left a lingering warmth as they dragged across your stomach and despite the kind words and endearing demeanor that he always upheld with you, you found yourself shying under his gaze, wanting to curl away from him. As your hands began to wrap around your stomach in an attempt to cover yourself up he quickly pushed them away, locking them in place on either side of you. 
“Wanna see everything baby, all of you.” he cooed in your ear before nipping at the lobe. 
His kisses began to travel down your neck, sucking a few marks to your collar bones and the surrounding areas. When his fingers grazed over a fresh bruise in the dip just between your neck and shoulders you hissed lightly. 
“You look so pretty marked up for me. All mine, aren’t you baby? Not Cam’s, mine. Say it.” 
“Yours, Cal.” you admitted, feeling your body sink further into the couch. You had never felt drunk off of someone’s words before and the experience was leaving you sputtering, completely compliant to your best friend. 
He hummed contently at your confession, his large hands gripping at your hips, before slowly peeling your leggings off.
“Y’feel so good in my hands, like you were made for me.” his thumbs poking at the soft skin, just beneath your panties. 
The feeling of his hands so close to where you needed them, but not quite there was driving you crazy. 
“Cal, please.” you begged. 
He groaned before tugging at the cotton covering you. “Cam’s a fucking idiot, y’know that? He had the prettiest girl in the world and treated her like shit. I’d never do that, wanna worship you baby.” 
It was ridiculous how overwhelmed his words were leaving you, all desperate and squirming. As his fingers met the soaked expanse of your cunt you couldn’t hold back the throaty moan it elicited. 
A pornographic sigh followed close behind, one that made Calum want to pinch himself to ensure he wasn’t in the midst of a haunting dream. 
“Soaked f’me darling.” he mused, running his fingers up and down your folds to completely coat you in your arousal. You whimpered at the feeling, bucking your hips up desperate for friction. 
Tutting while shaking his head, he used one hand on your lower stomach to press you back down to the couch. 
“Stay still for me won’t you, love?” he cooed, continuing to run his fingers over your core lightly. 
When you bobbed your head up and down in agreement he lifted your leg to his mouth, pressing a kiss to your calf. 
“Hm, good girl.” he praised, softly laying your leg back down. 
Calum hovered above you, dipping his head down every so often to peck at your chest, his fingers still unrelenting. The knot in your lower stomach tightened every second that passed and you felt like you could scream at any second, yearning to be full. 
Calum felt like he could burst any minute himself but was determined to make this experience the best of your life. He wanted to give you something to remember, a reason to want more. 
Your soft moans and frustrated grunts alerted him to your neediness and he was just about ready to give in for the both of you. 
“What do you need from me, baby?” he said against your shoulder before peppering kisses across your collar bones. 
You could only respond with an airy moan when his fingers found your clit. 
“Hm? My fingers?” You shook your head aggressively. He knew exactly what you wanted, the tease. 
“No? Want my mouth?” he teased further, leaving an opened mouth kiss in between your tits. 
“Cal,” you sighed. “Fuck me, please.”
He groaned at your words, nipping lightly at the skin before ridding himself of his pants. 
“You’re a fucking dream, y’know that?” he praised, desperately searching for a condom in his pants. When he finally located one he held it up to you as if it were a prized possession, smiling proudly at his own preparedness. 
He hastily freed himself from the constraints of his boxers and rolled the condom on, never once taking his eyes off of the blissful expression on your face. 
“Ready?” he questioned, his tip lightly pressing at your entrance. You nodded and sucked in a breath, bracing yourself for the stretch, your eyes falling closed in the process. 
When a few seconds went by and nothing happened you opened your eyes to find Calum staring down at you in awe. 
“Cal,” you whined. “what’re you doing?” 
Your words seemed to break him from his trance, he shook his head and muttered an apology to you. 
“Sorry, fuck you’re pretty. You’ve got no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this.” 
“Then stop waiti-” your words were cut off by a sharp hiss that couldn’t have been prevented as his length finally pressed into you. 
“Fuck.” Calum groaned his head falling back. You felt too good around him, seriously he was fucked, completely ruined for you. 
You felt the exact same as your silky moans filled the room. You had never been filled this good and you questioned how you had gone so long without this. 
“M-move” you sighed, clenching around him. 
You could hear his breath catch at the feeling and he grunted out a strained, “Need a minute.” 
He held himself in place for a few more seconds until his breaths began to even out once again before pulling nearly all the way out and slamming back in. 
You yelped, pulling your lip between your teeth in hopes to drown the sound. 
He continued slamming into you at an unrelenting pace, taking notice of each time your eyes would roll back when he brushed against your g-spot. He could write a book about how good you looked all fucked for him. 
As his thrusts grew closer together you could feel your release creeping up on you.  
“Cal, need’ta cum.” you stuttered out. 
His hands tightened around your hips, pulling you even closer to him as his head poked at that spot again. 
“Go on baby, let go.” he encouraged, willing himself to hold out a little longer as your walls fluttered around him. 
Once you had came it only took him about three more thrusts before he was painting the condom with his release, groaning your name as his hand searched for yours to intertwine them as he came down from his own high. 
  His body flopped next to yours on the couch, both of you struggling to fit next to each other in such a small space, not that either of you minded the close quarters. 
Your fingers remained laced together as you caught your breath, Calum peppering kisses to your shoulder and mumbling praises into your skin. 
“You’re an angel. God, I just- I love you.” he said, causing your head to snap in his direction. 
He looked like a deer in headlights when you asked for him to repeat himself. 
“I love you?” he obliged.
“Is it a question?” 
“No, I’m just not used to saying it.” he admitted, vulnerability clear in his eyes. 
You wanted to kiss away the worried crease in his forehead but instead pressed your lips to his, pulling apart a fraction of an inch to speak after a few seconds.
“I love you too.” you ensured. 
Calum eyes widened, not expecting you to say it back, at least not so soon. He had so much he wanted to say to you but figured all of it could be summed up by another kiss to your soft lips. So he closed the distance once again, using a bit more force this time in hopes it would convey the strength of his feelings for you.

text: I feel honored to work and make a collab post with cookiefics, this was extremely fun to do and working with her was one of the best decisions I made! This is my first collab post and I am happy to say that I am glad and proud how this turned out! Important point please support and check out my friend’s cookiefics post for Eren and Reiner, you won’t regret it😩💖 (her work is amazing- and I admire her writings and ideas a lot so check her account please :,)✨)
Levi:
‘Okay I’m gonna do it! No more backing away.’ Y/N thought as they took a deep breath while turning the door knob to enter the bedroom. They are gonna do the prank on Levi tonight.
Y/N entered the bedroom, and the first sight they see is Levi, their boyfriend, sitting on the chair while his legs were crossed and sipping his tea.
He would always wait for his partner before going to bed, he never once went to bed without first Y/N going to bed. He was that loyal and such a gentleman, and also because he is deeply in love with you.
He can’t even relax or lay on bed if you are not by his side! You are his everything, and he will not and never have a goodnight rest without you being by his side because you matter to him a lot.
Oh how you feel bad doing this prank on Levi, your great boyfriend...but you had to, you wanted to see how he would react!
“Love...I was waiting for you.” He sounded so glad, and happy once you entered inside. But, he realized you were a bit late and the next thing shocked him.
You just walked past him with a stolid manner, and did not even reply to him as you went straight to the bathroom. You took your toothbrush and started to brush your teeth.
Levi picked that up QUICKLY and would try to figure out what is wrong with Y/N, while still sipping his tea but now he has uncrossed his leg (cause this sudden act from his partner made him worry). Watching Y/N, observing them in his own sherlock style.
“Hey...Something wrong?” Levi would say as he laid his shoulder against the bathroom door which was open.
When you finished brushing your teeth, you were washing your hands and coldly said “No.”
He lowkey starts to get nervous and then he would probably start to think he is the problem why his lover is acting like this. He will think and be like ‘The hell? They don't love me? What am I to them….?’. He clearly starts to doubt himself and overthink. You gave him no sort of clue what was going on!
When you left the bathroom and went into the bedroom, you started to change into your nightwear, still giving Levi your back. 
Levi is quick and smart to catch on things, especially if the vibe is not the same. ‘Fuck did I actually mess this up’ He tries to initiate the conversation by asking you “Hey Love, did you drink the tea I made for you?”
“Hm, Oh yea.” Y/N said, still with her stolid manner and then proceeded to brush their hair. ‘What?!...Something is definitely wrong, this is the second time I'm saying love to them and they haven't once said love back.’ Now he is getting concerned and he started to come closer towards you, he is conflicted also to hug you or not. (you noticed that and that broke your heart-)
“Y/N, Something is wrong...was the tea bad!?” Levi said out loud in his unease tone. 
He turned around and went to his drawer to get the tea box to check if there was anything that was mentioned that could be bad.
He was ready to sue this tea company, ‘I want to end this company’s whole career...how dare they.’
“No Levi….it was not the tea.” You said all worried, ‘What tea is he even talking about?! And why does he look ready to murder someone’ You thought as you looked at him, but also trying to hold your laughter.
He gave out a sigh, relieved it was not the case. Now, he can sleep with you right? He went to change into his sleeping outfit and he was all thrilled to hold his Y/N and sleep with them. It was indeed his favorite time of the day.
But...Y/N wasn't moving towards the bed? And they begin to say “Hey Um...I wanna sleep alone tonight. So, could you leave?”
Levi had a sinking feeling in his stomach, his eyes widened ‘What..?’
He turned around to look at you all confused and...hurt by what you said. “No.” He said after 3 minutes of silence, he was trying to process what the hell was even going on. (poor man-)
“No? Okay, I’ll leave and go sleep in the other guest room we have.” But, before you could even go near the door to leave.
Levi would block the door by standing in front of it, not allowing his lover to leave. “If..” He started to look at you and raised his eyebrows, being all serious. Then, he said in a serious tone. “You go there, I swear to you I will kick the door down and break it.”
You had to hold back your laughter, and tried to control yourself because you know for a fact your man will do that and it would be a lie if he is not clingy. Cause, he is.
“Why! Tell me.” He looked at your eyes, searching for any sign of answer on your facial expression. One hand cupping your side cheek and the other hand rested on your shoulder as he gently stroked it. 
“If it is about the tea, I will try my best to drink those damn bubble teas, frappuccino or whatever they are that you like so much with you!” He gave you a look, that was determined and he was ready to go out and get one even if it was midnight just to prove it to you.
He is actually kind of shocked and he would stand there waiting for your response. But inside, he is sad and hurt about this all cause he is blaming himself this is happening because of him!
“L-Love!! It's a joke, a prank okay?” You couldn't hold yourself and you finally said it was a joke, you just missed not saying love to your boyfriend and you wanted to hug him again and express your love towards him cause you know he was hurt!
Levi would get irritated and annoyed, and let you go. He heads towards the bed. After, he would say. “Again, with your fucking pranks hm? No one is laughing here.” He is clearly pissed at how he fell for this but also, lowkey glad it was not none of the things he was thinking about.
Y/N surprises their boyfriend and would finally say it to make it up for Levi. “Hey...Um” Y/N stood there, all shy while looking down and holding their arms. Levi turned around to look at them, “What? Again another prank? Because that won't wor-”. You ran towards him and brought your arms around his neck while hugging him tightly “Ugh No, I love you!” While you said that, you kept your face on his shoulder and he felt your face burning up.
After you finally say those three words, he goes all soft and starts to even get butterflies. It was the first time he heard you say that out loud, because he knew you are usually shy.
He would think about it again the whole night and that makes him forget you even pranked him.
He hugs you even tighter tonight and kisses their neck quite a lot, he was showing you some of his rare affection and love.
Levi would later say “so you still like sleeping with me...hm? You didn’t say anything about that.”
He wants to make sure his s/o loves and cherishes him, and also he started to show more love tonight to you. 
Jean:
To start the prank with Jean, you decided to give him the silent treatment, and that upsets him to unknown levels for you. He was a really soft boy and small things like this really overwhelmed him!
“Babe...Do you want something?” Jean tried, he really did. To get any sort of reaction from you, he softly rubbed both of your shoulders as he was behind you. He was about to kiss your neck when you said. “Jean...I want to sleep alone tonight, maybe you should go and sleep on the couch because-” You were about to continue when he made you turn around quickly and held both of your arms.
“First of all, who is Jean? I don’t know any Jean! I’m babe for you, remember?” He was highly strung, and tried to pretend he did not hear you say his first name. This guy would always crave and was eager to hear you call him by his pet name. It really boosted his ego up and he loved it the way you always say it. He was deeply in love with his Y/N.
You couldn't bring yourself to laugh yet, because it was kind of cute to see Jean like this and it made you want to tease him even more! “Okay but I wanna sleep alone tonight, Jean.”
‘Wait, wait, Wait! My girl is upset! Shit, what the heck did I do? STUPID JEAN’ He would think while putting his hand on his forehead, trying to think while having an existential crisis on the couch in their huge bedroom. Then he jolted up and said, “Maybe...is it because I ate the ice cream that you left for yourself??!”
‘Um, what the fuck is with this man? And what ice cream is he even talking about!’ Y/N would think as they had a confused look. They couldn't even focus on the prank anymore and were wondering which ice cream it was.
You then turned around, grabbed a pillow and was about to leave the room but Jean was hugging and holding your waist from behind, not letting them leave and he would yell out saying. “No! I won’t let you leave babe! Will you forgive me if I buy more ice cream RIGHT NOW?” Your man was more than ready to go out with his pajamas and his slippers to get you all the ice creams from the nearest corner shop.
He really was willing to do and try literally anything to get you not upset with him and sleep with him tonight, he can’t go on the night without you!
Since Jean is really upset about this prank, y/n had to make it up for him and break off the prank.
“Calm down! It’s a prank babe.” You said giggling, and rubbing his biceps (he really likes that).
He let out such a long sigh and was relieved to hear that, like this guy kept thanking the world it wasn’t because of the ice cream. “Damn it, you scared me there!! Babe, please you will end up giving me a heart attack with these pranks.” He said with such a calm tone and hugged you.
“But you know...I can’t sleep without you.” Y/n said in a soft tone and went near Jean as they put their head against his chest. “You know I love you anyways...”
There was silence, he pushed your shoulders to look at your face that was red right now. “Wait...did I hear that right.” Jean just stood there, and was taken aback by what you just said. You were a blushing mess right now, and looked away. “Nothing Babe!! Let’s go to sleep now, okay?”. You tried to hurry back to your shared bed but he held onto you from behind again.
“Say it again...you made me suffer now with your stupid prank, so you’re going to repeat it! I heard it!” He was holding you so tightly and Jean was not going to let you go until you say it again.
Y/N gets all red and shy, while Jean is just too excited and takes this to his advantage. When you said it again after he was persuading you, he grabbed your hips and picked you up and you both were on your shared bed and he kept tickling you. Love and laughter filled the room and that melted Jean. He loved seeing you laugh, smile and being happy, it meant the world to him.
He showed you and gave you so much love that night you both did not sleep that evening.
We hope you ALL enjoy and love it <3 and if you do please leave a like, reblog or you could let us know what you think about it in the comments or asks🥺💕

synopsis: in which joe and cherry take care of your drunk ass
pairings: joe x reader, cherry x reader
warnings: drinking, getting sick, suggestive themes, swearing, slight spoilers in joe’s part
notes: i separated the joe and cherry head canons from the langa and reki ones because I thought I was gonna make these a lot more suggestive,,,but i did not 🤥 i apologize in advance for any grammatical/spelling errors!
Tumblr media
JOE
will laugh at you
in a good natured way, of course
he just thinks you’re so cute, he can’t get enough of you
joe and you go bar hopping for date night this week, which y’all have done in the past so it’s nothing too crazy
except this time around, you overdo it 😗
and joe thinks it’s the most endearing thing as you cling onto his biceps as you sway on your feet
he holds you by your elbows, grinning down at you as you blearily smile up at him
you both are standing near the dance floor, as you struggle to maintain your footing
“you good?” he calls over the music and you nod slowly, grinning even harder
“yea! you’re a great dancer!” you shout back at him and joe chuckles
“we aren’t dancing, baby cakes” he says, giving your elbows a squeeze
you frown
“oh...i knew that! i meant in general...” you murmur, eyes struggling to stay open.
joe purses his lip at you, before wrapping his arms around your waist. “i think you need some air, babe” he suggests and you nod sluggishly
guides you outside the bar and takes you across the street
the crisp night air doesn’t help you out all that much
you get sick and joe can’t even hold your hair back because he has to hold you to keep you from falling face forward
“okay, babe, let’s get you home” joe chuckles,
not even one bit worried
has a lot of experience with drinking/drunk people up his sleeve
honestly maybe the best person to care for you while you’re drunk
joe doesn’t panic or even if he IS concerned, he’s good at keeping a straight face (i’m thinking of the episode when ad*m hits cherry in the face and he’s the only one who doesn’t flinch)
he takes you in his swole arms (that man is built like an ox 😩) and carries you bridal style all the way home
entertains your babbling and carries a conversation with you no matter how nonsensical it is
if you think you see someone even looking at joe, you try cussing them out msnxjshwdghd
and joe’s like “haha, darling, my sweet dove, ☺️” and then turns to whoever you’re cussing out and says “they’re drunk, sorry about that!”
joe definitely takes you to his place
makes you take a shower! but he showers with you because he doesn’t want you to fall and break your nose or something
stands behind you, with his arms wrapped around you for support
rubs a loofah down your arms and torso
every now and then he’ll press a kiss against the side of your neck <3
joe wraps you in a towel and gently dries you with another towel
he makes you sit on his closed toilet seat and kneels before you to dry your legs with a smaller towel
he glances up at you to see you staring at him, slightly swaying and wrapped in a towel
“you like watching me work, don’t you?” he smirks
“i like watching your back” you reply, the alcohol numbing your shame and joe laughs at you
makes you brush your teeth
he places a hand over your forehead and holds you up by your arm as you brush
joe: “are you...are you swallowing the tooth paste??”
you: “...no...not on purpose”
okay, joe maybe slightly concerned
pulls one of his shirts over your head and laughs when your hair gets messed up
when you finally get in bed, you sleep in between joe’s legs with your head resting on his naked chest, arms wrapped around you
doesn’t mind if you drool on him <3 he just fondly smiles at you
CHERRY
HE IS NOT HERE FOR IT SKDUSKSJDJD
does not like being around drunk people—like he avoids it with a passion
someone he knows could be drunk as helll and he’d just be like “...and what the f*ck does that gotta do with me?”
obviously he won’t let anyone DIE, but prefers to take preventative action such as cutting someone off from having any more drinks than to deal with their drunk asses
and obviously, he’ll make an exception for you 😙
he’s not impressed tho 😗
like if your tipsy, he may find that endearing
but if you’re like—DRUNK DRUNK, like belligerently so...he’s gonna be like “*sigh*”
you probably don’t get drunk in public when you’re out with him to preserve his the respect of his business
so he’s probably having a night in, no S, no dinner with joe
he’s catching up on reading when his doorbell rings and he’s like “??”
cherry goes to peek out the peephole and — holy shit is that you? and who’s standing next to you??
he opens the door to see you, drunk off your ass, and barely standing on your own as you friend wraps their arm around you for support
when you see cherry, you perk up and smile “kaoru!”
“does this belong to you?” your friend grins at cherry, who’s just staring at you wobble on your feet like a newborn deer
“yes” he says slowly, a little surprised at how drunk you are
he reaches out for you and you all but collapse in his arm, cherry slightly straining under the weight
“okay, then! my taxi’s waiting, bye babe!” your friend calls to you and you sluggishly wave at them while hanging off of cherry’s waist
cherry makes sure you friend gets in the taxi safely before turning to you
“what have you gotten yourself into?” he sighs, hoisting you up and carrying you into his house
“just had a few drinks!” you chirp, wrapping your arms around cherry’s neck
“a few...” cherry echoes you flatly
“ maybe a couple!”
“...”
“ okay, maybe a lot”
doesn’t even wait for you tell him if you feel nauseous, he just carries you to the bathroom and sits you down in front of the toilet
ties your hair back as you babble nonsensically about how dangerous it is that he rides a skateboard
if you get sick, he gently rubs your back and murmurs soothingly to you
makes you wash your mouth out and brushes your teeth for you (he’s grumbling as he does it, BUT HE’S STILL DOIN IT)
he’s gonna save the lecturing for tomorrow so he just resorts to muttering under his breath, but he’s still very gentle with you
he bathes you! but then you tell him that he looks like your mother as he does it and he’s just like “😐 okay bath time over”
get’s you a silk robe and guides you into his bed
he runs to get you a class of water and when he comes back, he hears you sniffling as you lay with your back to him
“what’s the matter, love?” he asks gently, sitting down the bed next to you
he brushes your hair back to see you are, in fact, crying
you take a shaky breath as you struggle to sit up and look directly at him
“are you cheating on me with carla??” you ask wobbly, stealing yourself for his answer
cherry: “😐😑😐”
he just hands the glass of water to you and doesn’t say anything bc he’s TIRED
when you finish your glass, he places it on his bedside table as you sink into the sheets
“you didn’t answer” you murmur glumly, staring straight ahead
cherry looks down at you and tilts his head, brushing your hair back from your face, kinda smiling for that first time that night
“no. how would cheat on you with a skateboard?” cherry asks, slightly teasing.
“you literally make heart eyes with it...don’t laugh!” your lower lip begins to wobble as cherry slightly chuckles
“you’re so drunk” he smiles at you softly
you weakly nod in agreement as cherry continues brushing your hair back
“yea, ‘won’t do it again tho...thank you kaoru, i love you” you garble out, sleep overtaking you
cherry waits until you fall asleep to give you a kiss on the forehead,
he stays up a to watch you before he slides in next to you and sleeps facing you with your hand in his

Summary: You and Scarlett are in love and nothing can stop the both of you as long as you have each other, right?

Word Count: 2.7K
A/N: here’s the second part of Symphony! This is inspired from Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg [which means Y/N will own the song for this fic]!
I decided to do one more part after this and there’s a hint of what’s the song inspiration for the next and last part! I hope you guys enjoy!!
part 1, part 3
Tumblr media
“You may now board for flight BA0765 to London”
“Finally, I thought I’d pass out before we could board” you jokingly say as you stretch, yawning in the process. You hear a chuckle beside you making you smile. You stand up as you face the person beside you, offering a hand to help her up. “You ready?”
Scarlett smiles at you as she nods, taking your hand as she stands up. You spent the weekend getting to know Scarlett in between rehearsals and shows around LA. It has been the best two days for the both of you to the point that Scarlett decided to go with you to London for a few weeks. You were worried at first that you two were going too fast, but Scarlett reassured you that she needed a vacation anyway and that two weeks will be nothing since she has Hunter taking care of Rose and she doesn’t have anything to film till then. You reluctantly agreed with her reasoning after a little more negotiating on her end.
You both walk hand in hand to the gate and managed to check in with ease. You sit down on your seat while Scarlett puts your bags in the overhead compartment. You look out of the window, wondering what you’ve done these past years that lead you to this exact moment. You feel Scarlett’s hand gently holding yours, bringing you out of your thoughts as you face to look at her.
“You okay?” She asks curiously, tilting her head slightly to the side. You smile softly as you give the back of her hand a soft kiss. “Yea, just thinking about us”
“Hopefully not bad things” she teases making you chuckle slightly.
“I was wondering what I’ve done these past years that led me to today, that’s all” you explain as you fiddle with the ends of her bracelet, playing with the small rose charm it has at the center.
Scarlett pauses for a moment to think, holding your hand in the process. “I feel like it’s not on what we’ve done, but more of how long we had to wait till we finally got to meet. I feel like it was destiny, as cheesy as that sounds, but who knows right?” She smiles at you making your heart melt at her words.
“You feel that it’s destiny?” She hums in response as she gives the back of your hand like what you did earlier, making you blush in response. “Yea, I feel like it’s destiny”
You chuckle slightly and hear the pilot saying we’re leaving in a bit. “You ready to see my world?”
“I’m ready to be part of your world”
Tumblr media
After a long flight and a horrible nap, you two finally arrive in London where you and Scarlett plan to spend your post-concert break together. You both walk to where you parked your car in the airport parking lot, putting your bags at the back. You sit at the drivers as Scarlett slumps at the passengers making you laugh.
“Tough flight?” You tease earning a grunt from the actor. It’s currently 9 pm and you know Scarlett’s dead tired and jetlagged so you quickly make your way back to your apartment.
“Oh I forgot to tell you something,” you say as you park your car in your flat’s parking area. “I have a dog in my apartment, I hope you don’t mind”
“You do?” Scarlett’s tired eyes light up at the idea of a dog, making you laugh.
“Yea, his name is Sparky” you smile as you both make your way to your flat. “He’s normally with my friend when I go on international tours but she just dropped him off at my place so he’s probably tired anyway to bother you”
“No please I love dogs I want him to bother me” you burst out laughing at Scarlett’s begging tone as you reach your flat, already hearing the little commotion Sparky’s causing inside. You open the door and get tackled to the ground by your corgi puppy, laughing as he licks your face.
Scarlett smiles at the scene in front of her, loving the idea that you got the most British dog you could get in the UK. You get up with your dog in your arms who are looking at Scarlett with curious eyes.
“You wanna pet him?” You offer with a smile as Scarlett lets the dog sniff her hand. He gives her a little yap in response, fidgeting in your arms as he wants to go to Scarlett. You pass the dog to her and he attacks Scarlett with licks and sniffs, making the actor giggle in glee.
“Oh my god I love him, I’d do anything for him” she says in a dreamy tone while hugging the little puppy. You chuckle, letting her go into your flat as you bring in the bags. You check over the things around the flat as Scarlett explores a little with Sparky in her arms who is getting comfortable around the actor.
“You can go freshen up first while I make something for us in the meantime. You okay with a bit of pancake?” You call out then proceed to cook some pancakes when you hear Scarlett’s approval.
Scarlett puts Sparky down so he could toddle around the apartment and starts to genuinely look around the apartment. You have a decent flat considering you live alone, not super fancy since you do go on tours a lot but nice enough that it’s comfortable when you do stay long enough. She noticed the various picture frames that range from concert stills when you go on tour to family pictures. You have older siblings, making you the youngest so you’ve always been close with your father and siblings. Your mother, however, is a different story. Scarlett could tell you’re not close with her since you barely have any pictures together, seeing as she’s only seen informal family pictures.
She gently picks up a picture of you and your siblings as kids at a birthday party, smiling at the dopey grin on your frosting-covered face. She didn’t notice you until she feels your arms wrapping around her waist from behind, your chin resting on her shoulder.
“I think we’re around 5 or 6 at the time. They thought it would be a great idea to smash my face onto the cake” you chuckle slightly, kissing Scarlett on the cheek softly.
“Where are they now?” She asks while looking at the picture.
“They’re living their own lives with their own families. We come to visit the parents a few times a year” you explain as Scarlett puts down the picture frame to get another. This time it's your family photo.
“You never talk about your mom” she mutters quietly, worried that she’d offended you.
“We’re never close, but I can tell you about her some other time okay?” You turn her around so she’s facing you, smiling at her. “Come on I’m hungry and tired, you probably are too”
She smiles at you, happy that she didn’t offend you in any way, and puts the picture frame in its proper place. You both make your way to the kitchen, Sparky following along and start to eat with Scarlett.
Scarlett sees Sparky eyeing at the bacon on her plate with the cutest puppy eyes ever. She looks at you for a moment to see that you’re checking something on your phone. She grins slightly, breaking a small piece of her bacon, and turns to look at the drooling corgi.
“You want?” She asks softly to the dog who nods excitedly at her with his tail wagging happily. She chuckles slightly, tossing the bacon piece at the dog who catches the bacon with ease.
“You did not just give my fatass of a dog bacon”
She jumps as she heard your accusing tone, smiling shyly at your mischievous look. “He wanted it”
“Of course he does, he’s a fatass for a reason” you jokingly say making Sparky yap happily. “He’s my dog for a reason, he can charm his way into anyone’s hearts to get whatever he wants, especially food”
Scarlett chuckles at your observation with the dog, resting her elbow on the counter so she can look at you with her chin on the palm of her hand.
“Oh really now?” She smirks slightly at you, making you grin.
“Isn’t that how I got you in the first place?” You tilt your head slightly, challenging her with a smirk.
“I thought it’s because I wanted a trip to Lon- ow!” She exclaims as you hit her on the side, laughing at your huffing figure. She pulls your chair closer to her so she could wrap her arms around you. She smirks slightly as you cross your arms, leaning in so her face is inches away from yours.
“Lemme change that. I thought it’s because you’re hot and I’d do anything to get into your pants” she says softly but seductively, making you gasp and blush furiously. You two haven’t done anything beyond making out since you two technically just met but it didn’t mean you never thought about it.
You push her back slightly as a smirk forms on your face.
“Keep it in your pants, Johansson. You need to take me on 3 more dates before you could get anything else” you say, challenging the blonde as she smirks back at you.
“Deal”
Tumblr media
It’s been two weeks since you two landed in London and you’ve been taking Scarlett out to go site seeing. You’ve taken her almost everywhere in London from tourist attractions to hidden gems you love to visit with Sparky and honestly it has been the best week of your lives.
You’re currently walking in the park with Scarlett, enjoying the afternoon breeze and the first signs of fall coming to the country. You feel a blow of the cold breeze, making you shiver slightly.
“Jesus I wish I wore another layer” you grunt slightly making Scarlett laugh who proceeds to remove her scarf and wrapping it around your neck.
“You’re a stubborn brit who didn’t listen to me when I said that it’s gonna be really cold today” she teases lightly making you pout. She kisses your cold cheek gently, warming you up slightly making you smile.
“I think I saw a cocoa stand ahead, go sit down I’ll meet you back here?” She offers and smiles as you nod in agreement. She makes her way to get you two some hot cocoa as you sit down on the nearby bench.
You watch the kids play around with their parents making you smile at their giggles and squeals from the fun. You take in the environment you’re in, getting a sudden wave of inspiration for a new song to come at you. You quickly take out a small notebook you keep in your pocket for situations like this and start jotting down your ideas.
Scarlett walks back to you with the two cups of hot cocoa in her hands as she notices your hunched-over form, writing furiously through your notebook. This isn’t the first time she witnessed your writing process since it comes to you at random times. Although despite that, she still can’t help but smile and admire how good you are at your field, and no matter where you are, you can find inspiration anywhere.
She sits down beside you, trying not to disturb you as she takes a sip from her cup. You look to the side slightly, humming slightly to acknowledge her presence, and look back at your notebook to write down the last bit of inspiration from your mind down to the slightly wrinkled pages. You put your pen away as you finish, smiling at your progress.
“Sorry about that, I thought of something for a new song” you explain as you take the cup from her and taking a sip.
“It’s alright, is it a top secret that I can’t have a glimpse?” She grins cheekily making you laugh, standing up and offering your hand.
“I saw a public piano a little down the park, lemme show you?” You smile as Scarlett’s eyes lit up at the idea. She stands up and the both of you make your way to the public piano while you finish your hot cocoa. You throw your cups away before sitting down on the piano, playing a few chords to get the right tone in your mind.
“This is rough so no judgments okay?” You warn as Scarlett leans over the piano, resting her chin on the palm of her hand as she watches you play a bit. “Never”
You take a deep breath and start to play, a very sweet tone enveloping the two of you into a world you’re creating. Scarlett watches you in awe as you play the introduction of the song, feeling a strong sense of innocent love from you.
I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
You start to sing as you look at Scarlett with a smile. Her heart melts at the look of your eyes, swimming with love and adoration you have for the blonde. You start to channel your feelings for the blonde as you look at her while singing.
Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you
Scarlett notices that you’re not as stiff as you normally play. You’re normally sitting up straight despite the gentle flow of your hands, but now you’re gently swaying through the music you’re creating. You look like you’re enjoying what you’re creating and it brings a smile to Scarlett’s face knowing that she’s the cause of it. Your fingers gently pressing down on the worn-down piano as you allow the music to flow through you for the first time in your life. You think about the time you two have spent together this past week, thinking how lucky you are to have met someone like Scarlett and wondering what the future has in store for the both of you.
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down, I want to come too
You two didn’t notice a small crowd forming around the two of you, drawn by the beautiful piano you’re playing. Unconsciously, they were also drawn by the small bubble you two have created where they can visibly see the unspoken love you two have for each other just flowing and circulating you both.
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
She chuckles softly at your use of a coffee shop, understanding that you’re using that instead of the park because of how cheesy falling in love at a coffee shop is, just like your meet-cute. You smile slightly as you hear Scarlett’s chuckle, making your heart melt at the beautiful sound she created.
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
You play a little bit more, trailing the music since you didn’t get the chance to write more past that. You and Scarlett look at each other with loving eyes, floating in nirvana at how much you two love each other without saying I love you. You both jump in shock as you both hear claps from the crowd you two manage to create, blushing furiously at their cheers.
Scarlett chuckles slightly through her blushing complexion, walking up to you and bending down to look at you in the eyes and smile lovingly at you. “Gosh I love you”
You smile back at her, cupping her cheek gently. “I love you too Scarlett” you lean in and kiss her as the crowd cheers for the two of you. You both pull back to chuckle slightly, giving you a chance to stand up and taking Scarlett’s hands into yours.
“I may be imperfect, but you allow me to try. I was lonely and messy before I met you but you still gave me a chance and I can’t thank you enough for loving me. For making me believe that love is all true”

As Soon As I Can
Nestor Oceteva x F!Reader
Request from @alienstardust​:  Umm All the angst in those childhood prompts. I’m a fan! Yes! <3 Maybe something with Nestor? 💫 thank you
I went with this prompt from This Post: When Person A and Person B were kids, Person A broke their arm and had to wear a cast for a while. To make them feel better, Person B decorated it by drawing a bunch of doodles and quotes all over it. When Person A finally got the cast off, they asked the doctor if they could keep it. Years later, Person A takes the cast to a tattoo artist and gets all of Person B’s doodles and quotes tattooed onto their arm so they can wear them forever.
Warnings: language, angst, hospitals

Tumblr media
You and Nestor were sitting in your back yard, sprawled out together under the one tree that managed to survive so many years in the California heat. You were laying on your back, cast-bound arm lying rigidly out to the side. You were staring up through the leaves as you listened to Nestor talk.
“At least they let you pick the color,” he was next to you, laying on his stomach as he dug through his backpack.
You laugh was heavy with sarcasm, “Yea, if I’m not gonna be able to move my arm for the next eight weeks it’s the least they could fucking do.”
“You sound bitter.”
You looked over at him, “I am bitter.”
He chuckled and shook his head, he was about to come back with a witty remark when he got distracted by finding whatever he had been looking for. He smiled as he pulled it out, “Aha!” he held up his pack of Sharpies.
“What’re those for?” you nodded towards the markers.
“For your cast.”
“You’re gonna decorate my cast?” you had to laugh.
“Yea,” he was carefully choosing a few different markers to start with, “Maybe it’ll make you feel better about totally eating it falling off your skateboard the other day.”
You laughed as you reached over and shoved him with your good arm, “Shut up—like you haven’t fallen a million times.”
“No casts for me, though,” there was a cocky smirk on his face.
“No casts for me, though,” you mocked as you tried not to laugh.
You watched him in semi-silence as he started at your wrist and slowly but surely made his way up your cast, covering it with all sorts of doodles and quotes. Sometimes you forgot how artistic he could be. You went back and forth between watching him and just resting your head back and closing your eyes. Neither of you kept track of the time as he stayed sprawled on his stomach beside you. the two of you probably would’ve stayed out until dark if your mom hadn’t stuck her head out and said that Nestor’s brother was there to pick him up and bring him home. Nestor threw all of his things back into his bag before helping you up.
Once he was gone, you took some time to actually look at the cast. You smiled at the amount of work he put into something that you were only going to have for a couple months. Your fingers traced lightly over the many marker lines that now covered your cast. Your mother looked over your shoulder at the artwork, a smile passing over her lips for a moment.
“Did Nestor do that?”
You nodded, not taking your eyes off of your arm, “Yea.”
She nodded, “That was sweet of him.”
You scoffed trying to suppress the smile on your face, “I guess.”
The next eight weeks passed by. And, despite the fact that having your arm in a cast was incredibly inconvenient, it could have been a lot worse. Nestor walked with you to all of your classes, offering to carry your backpack despite the fact that you told him that your busted arm had nothing to do with your ability to carry a bag. Whenever the two of you were together and things were quiet, he would keep adding onto the tiny mural that was your cast. Sometimes you wondered how much more he could fit on it, but he always found a way. For as much as you wanted it off, you were going to miss the bonding time for the two of you. And you were going to miss the artwork, too.
“So,” the doctor smiled and nodded at you, “you are all good to go. We can get the cast off and you’ll be as good as new.”
“Yea?” the thought of having your arm back made you feel giddy.
“Absolutely.”
You felt like a new person once your arm was free of the confines of the cast. Letting out a sigh of relief, you rotated your wrist a few times and carefully ran your fingers over the freshly-exposed skin, glad to feel like you were back in control of your own body.
“I can get rid of this,” your doctor held up the cast he’d just finished so carefully removing, “Unless you want to keep it as a momento.”
“Um, actually,” you felt your face heating up as you avoided eye contact with your mother, “Could I keep it?”
The doctor nodded, smiling as he handed it over to you, “It’s quite the work of art at this point—I understand wanting to hold onto it.”
On the drive home, you felt your mother glancing over at you every couple of minutes, a knowing smile on her face. You tried to ignore it but eventually you broke.
“What?” you were careful of your tone.
She laughed quietly and shook her head, “Nothing. Just, I think it’s nice that you’re keeping it, that’s all.”
“Mhm,” you tried to ignore the heat rising in your cheeks again, but that only made it worse.
You never told Nestor that you kept the cast. You never really knew exactly why you didn’t tell him—the two of you told each other pretty much everything else. The two of you spent almost all of your free time together, and as soon as he found out that your cast had been removed he was dragging you right back out to do things that could potentially break your arm all over again, and you let him. He never asked about the cast, so you never brought it up. There were moments, as the two of you got a little older, where you wanted to mention it to him in passing that it was something that you kept, but the moment never seemed quite right. Each time you went to clean out your room and your closet you would come across it, and each time you were faced with the decision of whether or not you wanted to keep it, and you always did. You always told yourself that you didn’t know why, but you knew.
--
“Alright,” you were trying not to let yourself get too emotional as you sat cross-legged on his bed watching him pack “You can’t do anything stupid while I’m not around to yell at you for it, alright?”
He chuckled as he shoved another shirt into his bag, “Trust me, there will be plenty of other people around to yell at me. That’s the whole point of—”
“But they can’t do it as well as I can.”
He glanced over at you, a small smile on his face. He knew how upset you were despite the fact that you were still being supportive. Him going into the Navy was something that you hadn’t seen coming. The thought of him being gone for so long after the two of you had spent so much of your lives practically joined at the hip was a bit jarring. You knew the ache in your chest was caused by more feelings than you were ready to admit to him, or to yourself.
“It’s not like you’ll never hear from me.”
You huffed, “Snail mail is not the same as bothering you in person,” you flopped backwards on the bed, “And for the record I still think it’s bullshit that you don’t get to call me.”
He laughed as he stood up and sat on the bed, looking down at you, “Don’t be dramatic. I’ll be in basic for less time than you had that stupid cast on your arm.”
“Yea but it’s not like you’re coming right home after that.”
He nodded, his expression sobering a little as he continued to look at you, “I know.”
“You’ll come home to visit me as soon as you can?”
He chuckled, nodding, “As soon as I can.”
For a moment you thought about spilling your guts—telling him everything that you were thinking and feeling. There was something about the way that he was looking at you that made you feel like maybe he felt the same way. But the confidence that shot through you went away as quickly as it appeared, and the moment passed as he continued to pack his things.
True to his word, you got letters in the mail. You saved each one, kept them stashed away in your closet alongside the cast that was still there collecting dust even after years of being shuffled around. You sent more letters than you received, not that you really minded. You figured that he needed them more than you did.
However as the months ticked by, you waited for him to say he was coming home, but he never did. It was one thing right into the next and the more time that passed by, the more you wondered if this was how he slipped away from you, even though he swore that that wouldn’t happen. He reached out when he could, when he had the time. And you knew that he had other priorities, and realistically you did too. But there was still part of you that felt like things were changing too much.
Your heart sped up inside your chest when you got a late-night phone call from him. You scrambled to answer it, “Hello?”
“Hey,” he sounded exhausted.
“Hey,” you pulled your blanket up to your chin as you spoke to him, “H-how are you?”
“I’m alright,” he sighed, “It’s good to hear your voice.”
You smiled despite the weight settling in your chest, “It’s good to hear yours too. I miss you.”
“I miss you too.”
You didn’t want to push and pry, but you couldn’t help asking, “When are you coming home?”
There was a long pause before he spoke up again, “I, uh, I don’t really know.”
“Don’t they give you guys leave or something?”
He let out a tired chuckle, “Yea. But, um, I’m not sure if I’m going to be coming home for leave anytime soon.”
Your heart crumped inside your chest, “Why not?”
“Got some shit that I’m working on lining up here. Doesn’t hurt to stay close.”
You hated that your bottom lip was beginning to tremble, “Right.”
He knew you too well and you could hear the shift in his tone, “I’m sorry.”
“No, no,” you replied immediately, “Fuck, don’t be sorry. I’m proud of you, really. Keep…keep doing your thing.”
“Thank you for always being there. It’s been…it’s been nice knowing someone is in my corner when no one else seems to be,” there was a beat of silence, “You seen my family lately?”
You took a deep breath, “No. Why, everything alright?”
He sighed, “Wouldn’t know.”
You pressed your lips together into a tight line—things had never been simple for him when it came to family, “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I’ll be home to see you as soon as I can be, alright?”
Your breath was shaky as you exhaled, “Alright,” you were about to say goodbye but your brain betrayed you, “Hey, Nestor?”
“Yea?”
“I love you,” the words fell from your lips, free of their confines after so many years of locking them away.
It might’ve been you projecting, but you could’ve sworn that he let out a sigh of relief, “I love you too.”
--
That was the last thing that you’d heard from him. He went radio silent after that. You wondered if it was just you that he was ignoring, but no one seemed to have heard anything from him—his own family included. The only things that were running through your mind were terrible. All of your calls went unanswered, all of your texts went unopened. The letters that you sent didn’t get kicked back to you but you never got responses to any of them either. He had blipped off the radar seemingly without a trace and you had no idea why. You lost a lot of sleep over it but at the same time, life didn’t stop for anyone. You had to keep moving forward while a very large part of you was stuck in the past.
You were packing up your room, getting ready to move into your own apartment. You were throwing things from your closet into random bags and boxes—organization had never been your strong suit. As you were leafing through everything, pulling things down off the top shelf of your closet, you were smacked in the face with a stack of papers. You managed to catch them before they hit the ground, tears instantly springing into your eyes when you realized what they were. Your heart sped up inside your chest as you stood on your tip-toes, reaching for the very back of the shelf. The feeling of the plaster underneath your fingers sent a shock through your body as you pulled it towards you. Looking over it, you were bombarded with an onslaught of memories.
Packing fell by the wayside as you sat on your bed, reading through the letters and looking over all the artwork that was still holding up on the cast. How you managed to keep your tears from falling, you didn’t know.
There was a light knock on your door and you looked up, trying to make yourself look much less upset than you were. The smile immediately dropped from your mother’s face when she saw what you were doing, how it was upsetting you. She leaned against the doorframe as she tried to figure out what to say to you to try and make things better.
“I’m sorry, honey,” her tone was sincere.
You shook your head as you set your cast to the side, “Don’t be. You don’t have anything to be sorry for.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
You hadn’t really spoken much to her about it all—there wasn’t a whole lot to say. You didn’t have any answers and with each day that went by it was less likely that you would ever get them. It was difficult to tell whether or not it was more reassuring for you that no one had heard from him, not just you.
“There’s nothing to talk about. He just fucking disappeared, I guess. I just need to accept it and get on with my life.”
“He was your best friend—you’re allowed to be upset about it, you know.”
Even though you knew it, it was nice to hear her say it to you. Wiping the tears from your eyes before they could stain your cheeks, you nodded, “I know.”
She lightly drummed her fingers on the door frame, “You keeping those?”
There was a long pause before you finally nodded, “I think so.”
She nodded, “I’ll go grab you another box.”
--
“This thing looks like it’s been through the wringer,” your tattoo artist chuckled as she looked over the cast you’d brought with you.
You managed a smile, “Because it has. I’ve had that thing since I was in, fucking, like eighth grade I think? Long time.”
“What made you decide to get this done now?”
You shrugged, “I don’t know. Figured it’ll be better than moving it from one closet to the next over the course of my life.”
You could tell by the look on her face, that she wanted to ask for the story behind it all. But the fact that you didn’t offer it up, made her not pry. You’d always been open so if you were keeping something to yourself, she respected that. The two of you talked about the logistics of it, and the changes you want to make to clean it up a little bit. You were excited to come back and get it done, though.
Despite the wait, your excitement and nervousness about coming back didn’t fade. You didn’t regret the decision, but it was still nerve-wracking as you got ready to sit down in the chair. She had you look over the pattern she’d drawn up, and when you gave her the okay she laid the stencil out on your arm and got to work. You watched her as she brought it all to life—it was a little cleaner and more grown-up than the original scribbles and doodles, but it felt right. Tears stung at the edges of your eyes but it wasn’t because of the physical pain of getting the tattoo.
She was wrapping it up in saranwrap as she gave you the run-down of taking care of the tattoo. You’d heard the spiel before but you still listened anyway. You had a hard time taking your eyes off of the artwork as you made your way back out to your car. Sitting down in the driver’s seat, you let out a sigh as you tried to inspect the ink as best you could through the wrap around your arm.
The next day, you were putting on a fresh wrap over your tattoo after your shower when you heard your phone buzzing in the next room. With a heavy sigh, you slapped a piece of tape onto the wrap and scrambled to get to your phone before you missed the call. Looking down at the screen, you didn’t recognize the number. But it was an off-hour for a scammer to be calling so you answered it on a whim. Worst case scenario you would just hang up.
“Hello?”
“Hi, my name is Rita and I work at Imperial Hospital. I’m looking for Ms. Y/N?”
“Um, speaking?” you had no idea where this was going.
“Good morning. Someone was admitted and you are their only emergency contact—no next of kin listed. Do you know a Mr. Nestor Oceteva?”
Your heart dropped into your stomach, “Yes,” you couldn’t get the words out fast enough, “Yes I do. Is he alright?”
“He’s going to be fine,” her tone was calm enough to give you the smallest sliver of reassurance, “But we do need you to come in and answer some questions for us. He’s been in and out of it and we need someone who can give us reliable information.”
“O-okay. Yea. Yea I’ll leave right now. It’ll be about an hour or so before I get there though. Is that alright? He’s going to be okay?”
“Yes, ma’am. He’s going to be fine. Thank you so much for your cooperation.”
You hung up the phone and started flying around your apartment to get ready. You had no idea what you were about to be walking into but at this point you didn’t care. All these years you’ve been wondering about him and he was two towns over. You were as angry as you were relieved.
The line of questions that the nurses asked you seemed endless. You knew that it was all important but there was nothing that you wanted more than to be in the room and see that it really was him, that this wasn’t just some cruel trick from the universe.
Finally, the nurse started walking you back. You only heard half of what she was saying to you about his condition as the two of you approached the room. You heard that he was stable and the rest didn’t really matter to you. your hands were trembling as she gestured to the door to his room, telling you that she would give you a few minutes to yourselves.
You slowly opened the door and a sob lodged itself in your throat as you looked at him. He was passed out, whether the sleep was genuine or from the meds you didn’t know. Truthfully, it was almost difficult to see that it was the Nestor you knew and loved—but you could still see it. Underneath the cuts and scrapes, beneath the braids and the tattoos, there was still your Nestor. The man you knew all those years ago was somewhere underneath it all.
Walking over, you collapsed in the chair next to his bed. You reached out and took his hand in your own, seeing the scars and scabs that covered his knuckles. Whatever he’d been doing all those years, it wasn’t treating him well. You let out a shaky breath as the tears started to fall. You tried to keep your emotions bottled up and quiet, but you couldn’t. There were too many there that you had been battling with and pushing down over the years.
Your crying made him stir. With a quiet groan of pain he opened his eyes and turned to look and see who was in the room with him. His entire body went stiff as his eyes flew completely open, unable to believe that you were sitting there with him.
“H-holy shit,” he coughed, trying to sit up, “Y/N?”
He was conscious and able to speak, so you punched him in the upper arm, “As soon as I can my ass, Nestor.”
He winced and smiled, and you could see all of the motions in his eyes, “I’m…I’m sorry.”
“You fucking should be.”
“I am.”
“Good.”
There were a few beats of silence and then he heard the crinkling of the wrap on your arm as you crossed them and he nodded towards it, “Fresh?”
Heat instantly flooded to your face and you fought the urge to get up and run out of the room, “Got it yesterday.”
“Can I see?”
You hated that he was talking to you like everything was normal, but you couldn’t lie and said that you didn’t miss it. Taking a deep breath, you laid your arm down on the hospital bed for him to inspect. A smile instantly took over his features when he saw what it was. He looked up at you, and when he saw the happiness and hurt both in your expression, his smile dulled a little bit.
“I’m so sorry.”
“What the fuck, Nestor?”
“I know, I know. I should’ve said something.”
“Uh…yea.”
“When they let me out of here, will you let me take you somewhere and tell you all about it?”
“I mean. I guess. But only because I’m nosey,” you managed a smile through the tears.
“I love you.”
The words made your heart skip a beat in your chest, “I love you too.”
“That’s way less clunky than a cast,” he tapped the plastic wrap.
You smiled, wiping the tears away, “Yea, I guess so.”
“I can’t believe you still have the same number after all these years.”
You paused, looking down at your hands, “I kept it in case your ass decided to smarten up and call me one of these days.”
“Hospital calling you on my behalf doesn’t count?”
You narrowed your eyes at him, “No. No it doesn’t.”
He reached over and clasped your hand in his, “I’m really glad that you’re here.”
With a deep sigh, you leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to the side of his forehead, careful to miss all the scrapes, “Me too.”
There was so much more to be said, but it could wait. You tried to soak up the feeling of his hand over yours, smiles appearing on both of your faces despite the lost time and the gravity of the situation. A lot of things had changed, but as you felt the heat from his palm and the way his thumb traced back and forth over your hand, you knew the important things were still exactly the same.

Water under the Bridge (Josslyn II)
A/N: Okay! Here it is!!!! This was fun and made my heart hurt a little but maybe I’m just being emotional. And can you guys believe it’s been over a year since I posted Josslyn?? Where has the time gone?? I don’t think we’re on the sacred timeline anymore........Anyway thank you anon who suggested this storyline, and hope y’all enjoy! <3
Josslyn (Original)
------
We’re going to have the best weekends evr, Regan texts me even though she’s just in the other room. Schedules were released for our summer semester and Regan and I had managed to get Fridays off. Summer was going to be so fun, and after two years doing college together we were experts at managing our workload to have fun on the weekends--even if that meant sacrificing a few nights’ sleep.
We’ll make summer our bitch, I text back. I hear a chuckle from her room.
Help me pick out a fit? she texts. I want to tell her Adam would love her in whatever, but I head to her room instead and watch her try on a dozen outfits before settling on the second. I tease her about Adam--they were going steady since first year, but she still got so nervous about him sometimes. Adam’s college was a train ride away so he would come down at least one weekend a month.
As for my own love life, there’d been no one steady. I did the whole hooking up and dating scene in first year but I was romantically burnt out by second. Nowadays, I could go home with someone if I chose to, but I also didn’t mind if I didn’t. My active endeavor to find a boyfriend had stopped when I realized I was trying to fill a gap. Instead, I was learning to be happy on my own.
“Are you sure I can’t convince you?” Regan asks. She was taking the train to Adam’s college and staying with him, there was this big start-of-summer party and she’d been trying to convince me for weeks.
“I don’t feel like being a third wheel,” I tell her honestly.
“You don’t have to!” She goes over her one argument again. “Gaelle’s roommate isn’t even back until next week so she has a spare room! She said you should come. Plus,” she ties her hair up, “it’s the weekend before the semester starts so have some fun.”
I make a noise, and she turns to look at me, totally judging me. It makes me laugh. “That’s why my version of fun is to.binge Netflix and-”
“Y/N!” She groans.
“Fine! I’ll go.”
Two words that would change everything.
***
By the time we get to the campus, Regan and I had come up with a dozen things we could potentially do this summer. I’m high on excitement as we meet up with Gaelle, and the three of us head to Adam’s place.
The sun is almost set by the time we leave, most of the sky is dark but a streak of orange stays stubbornly on the horizon. I pause to take pictures before we’re rushing off.
We approach the frat house--if you could call it that. It was half glass with a very modern structure. The greek symbol on the side of the house was the only indicator it wasn’t a millionaire’s summer-house.
“Since when did frat houses get so modern?” I ask. “This is...nice.”
“Wait ‘til you see inside,” Adam says. And he was right, even the drinks were fancier with their own guy behind the bar...although he was taking the occasional shot and getting progressively drunk.
We settle in an area close to the music and get swept up into the party atmosphere. Some people were beyond drunk already and I enjoyed the slight buzz of the drink in my hand. The views from inside with floor-to-ceiling windows were amazing.
Pretty soon, Adam and Regan break off. We move towards the centre of the party where the typical party shenanigans were happening. We tip back our drinks and pretty soon I’m straddling the line between tipsy and drunk. I find a cute boy with blonde hair and deep brown eyes and makeout with him until he gets too handsy.
“Ugh!” I give him one last shove and look for Gaelle but I’d lost her too. I search for a bathroom but they’re either occupied or have a lineup. This was a huge ass house, one of the bedrooms had to have one.
I open the first door to shouting.
“It’s called locking the door!” I shout drunkenly as I close it. The next room actually is locked, and the next one isn’t but I wish it was. “Eugh.”
I climb up to the topmost level, three doors--one was locked with the sound of people inside and the second is a bathroom. I was grateful people hadn’t made it up this far.
As I wash up, and touch up the mascara that was crusting under my eyes the door shakes as someone bangs on it from the other side.
“Dip! What the fuck are you doing in there? Everyone’s waiting for you!”
My heart pounds at the sudden noise and the deep voice demanding me to open up. The rush of adrenaline sobers me for a moment as I rush to open the door, “Sorry I didn’t realise anyone was...waiting.”
My words slow down and freeze altogether as I realise the fist banging on the door belonged to...him. Harry. He seems just as surprised as me, straightening up before a smile slowly inches across his face, it was almost sweet bordering on predatory. “Y/N!”
“Hi,” I say awkwardly. There was a lot of history and also not at all. I was also, I decide, too drunk for this. Act sober, this is not the night to run into this fucker.
“You-you’re the last person I was expecting to--excuse me it’s... good to see you! You look--you look as beautiful as ever!”
The events from high school that created this tense history between Harry and I was one of the worst things possible to happen to teenage Y/N. The thing is though, that I’d totally bounced back after I had decided he could fuck himself. Although it was awkward seeing him every day until graduation, it made me tougher. I credit it for making me so casual about relationships now...I stopped expecting so much of the boys I saw.
But leaving high school behind, my world expanded with college, I realised how childish it had all been: I’d had a fling with a player, and he’d played the field...It wasn’t that deep. But seeing him now, It made me aware in a way I wasn’t for a long time. Maybe what they said about distance had some merit. Or maybe I was just buzzed.
“Thanks...I wasn’t expecting you either.”
“You don’t uh, you don’t go here do you? I’ve never seen you around.”
“No,” I look out to the small hall but there’s no one there. The room that was previously locked is slightly ajar carrying male voices. “Adam goes here, I’m...with Regan.”
“Ah, Regan.” He smiles. “You’re still two peas in a pod?”
“Obviously,” The stiffness eases at the mention of my best friend. “So...can I get out of here?”
“Yeah sorry,” he moves aside so I can step into the hall. “Um, we’re playing video games in here room if you...you’re probably not interested.”
I clear my throat, Harry was playing video games when there was a party downstairs? I was curious, that maybe he changed.
“Oh,” he laughs and the dimples I adored make an appearance. “I’ve still got it! My frat just hosts too many parties for me to keep track.”
I guess I said that out loud, I bite my tongue but it really has a life of it’s own. “Did you jussay you still got it?” Oh my god, I was teasing him already. What about Harry made me absolute putty.
“Yeah,” he looks almost bashful. “Uhm, go easy I’m a little nervous here Y/N.”
I don’t know what to say to that, I bite my lip so nothing stupid comes out.
“So you’re just here for the night?” He carries on.
“Staying over with a friend,”
“A fr-” he cuts himself off, pressing his lips together. I realize I’m staring and look away.
“I should go-”
“Wait I-wait uh, how have you been? I haven’t seen you in years.”
“Yea,” I play with the rings on my fingers. “M’good, great. College’s a lot better than high school.”
“It’s not even comparable,” Harry says as he leans his shoulder against the wall. He looks perfectly placed there, and a tipsy voice flashes inappropriate thoughts into my head. “So...any...boyfriends?”
“Um,” that was direct. “No. No, I’m trying out being single...”
“Did something happen?” His expression is still casual but he holds himself rigid.
“No? A girl can’t be single?”
“Sure but someone like you...I’m just surprised.”
“Whatever that means,” I roll my eyes and head past him to go down but he blocks my way.
“Wait, I didn’t mean to offend you...” his voice dies out as I cross my arms. “I also didn’t mean to block you in.”
He steps aside and it feels painful to me but I take the small steps towards the staircase. One part of me--I blame the tipsy stupid part, wants to kiss him just to see if there was still something there, see if anything’s changed. The other was listing all the reasons this was an awful idea, to top it off he was a proven player, has broken my trust once before, and went to a school almost 2 hours from mine.
“Y/N,” Harry’s gruff voice says from behind me. My feet turn without permission and he’s right behind me. “M’sorry. Let me start over.”
I glance at his lips, damn. I can’t meet his eye suddenly. Oh god, I was still pretty tipsy. My mind short-circuits and all I can do is turn back to walk away, down the two sets of stairs, past sweaty bodies and loose limbs. In a great coincidence I bump into Gaelle in what looks like a game room.
“Harry goes here?” I ask--shout at her immediately. Her eyes widen, something passes over her face. “Was no one going to tell me he was going to be here?”
“I’m sorry!” She shouts. “I forgot you two had history!”
“I just wish I was prepared,” I say and she doesn’t hear, I just shake my head when she asks me to repeat. I needed another drink, and Regan. Maybe she could remind me why I stopped caring about him.
As I set off to find her, I’m reminded again how stupid this all was. High school was an ancient dream, we were all different people. I was a different person.
But even though what happened in high school was petty and juvenile, I remember how Harry made me feel. How it felt when we were together--even if it was a joke for him back then, I couldn’t forget the feeling of being seen. Of having arms to fall into, even if I knew they weren’t permanent.
“Regan!” I find her sitting on the dining table while Adam spoke with someone else. Her eyes alight and she waves me over. “I saw him! He...he goes here!”
“Who?” Confusion strings her brows together.
“Harry! From...you know Harry! He was upstairs! I--I didn’t know how to act.”
“Shit Harry! I forgot he went here!”
“You knew?” I throw my hands up.
“I didn’t think it was a big deal! He’s a dick but that was high school?”
“No I-” I sigh. “You’re supposed to tell me he’s still a dick! I saw him and it just got...complicated.”
Regan slides off the table and pulls me into a side hug, we can also hear each other better. “You’re a big kid now, do whatever you want Y/N. Tell him off, kiss his face, take revenge, who the fuck cares? We’re taking the train two hours home after this anyway!”
She had a point. But still...he couldn’t have changed much from the boy who hurt me.
“Adam hangs out with him sometimes,” Regan continues. “Apparently he’s not as bad as high school. He’s...mellowed out.”
“Unreal,” I roll my eyes. Adam was just covering for his friend. We hear a cheer go up behind us and Regan bulges her eyes as two guys help Adam up on his hands to do a keg stand.
Regan swears and heads back to him. I walk away, somehow feeling more and less confused after talking to Regan--do I go back up and see what this leftover emotion was, or ignore it as a drunken need for comfort?
But it’s like the decision is made for me when a hand wraps around my arm as I move from the dining area to the kitchen. I already know it’s him before I turn.
“Can we talk?” he asks. I nod and his grip loosens, slipping down into my palm. “Upstairs?” He motions to the staircase and we climb up the two flights. This time he leads me into one of the locked doors and although I’ve never been here, I’d been in some version of this room before. It’s familiar.
I ignore the ache when he lets go of my hand once we’re inside. I set my drink down on his desk and perch on the window ledge, it’s not big enough to sit on but has enough space for a few of his books and a speaker. His room’s pretty near, but then again Harry was never messy.
“So what do you want-” I start just as he says “Let me get this off my chest.”
“Go ahead,” I cross my arms before uncrossing them, and then crossing them again. With the way he ruffles his hair and crosses to the door and back, he seems just as nervous.
“You can leave at any time. I just want to say I was an asshole, I still kind of am sometimes. And I’m sorry for what I did to you. I know it’s like what--2 years late but all that with...Josslyn and all that...I’m sorry.”
Hearing her name makes me want to grind my teeth but I let the feeling pass. I reach for my drink instead to give me something to do. “It’s all water under the bridge.”
“Really?” Harry regards me suspiciously. “Because the way you were talking to me out there...”
“You’re just you,” I shrug. “Harry Styles, player and sweet-talker. I was just guarding myself against that.”
“Because of what happened between us?”
“No...maybe. I don’t know. But honestly, I’m not upset with you. It feels like an eternity ago. I guess it’s just self-preservation.”
“I guess,” he echoes. “So where does that leave us? If you’re all self-preserved?”
I eye him but he cracks a smile, he was teasing me. “It doesn’t have to leave us anywhere,” I snort. “We’re water under the bridge Harry...”
“My parents split,” he says suddenly and I’m reeling with the direction he’s taken. I open my mouth, and close it when nothing comes out. “Sorry, I know that’s random it’s just I never really talked to anyone about how they were rarely home and when they were they were always arguing a-and we spoke about it a lot. About our families so I just...”
“I’m sorry to hear that, do they still live in town?” I ask, wanting to put my hand on his or show him I cared but they stay glued to my drink.
“My mom moved into the city, it’s closer to her job and since I’m not living at home anymore it doesn’t really matter...”
“You still go home?” I ask.
“I don’t even know where home is?” He looks at me then, and the look in his eyes chips at the wall I’d been trying to build all night. Things had changed, for him.
“Are you--do you have someone to talk to?”
His laugh is dry, “They split last summer, convinced me to talk to some therapist. I don’t know if it really helped I think I’m actually better off. They’re better off and I just feel...free.”
I don’t know what to say to that so I stay quiet. He looks back up at me then, cracks his knuckles, before perching on his bed. “I’m just--sorry I’m not telling you that so you can feel sorry for me-”
“I don’t I just-”
“No it’s okay I just want to tell you that because you knew about that stuff. But I’m trying to tell you I’m not the same guy. Not completely, I’m just trying to tell you things changed and so have I.”
It echoes the same sentiment I had earlier in his conversation, and I remember Regan said he’s mellowed out. Maybe it was true. It still didn’t mean I was going to get together with him anytime soon but my heart hurts for him. I walk up to where he sits, he watches me with a steady gaze.
In the quiet, I hear the party going on outside the window, three floors below us. If I listen really carefully, I can hear sounds coming from the video game being played next door. In the stillness, I reach for Harry’s hand and he obliges, grasping mine.
“I wish I could...help you with the hurt. Not knowing where to call home is pretty shitty.”
“Don’t worry about me Y/N,” he pastes on his classic smile and I return one for his sake. It was getting heavy in here. “I’m just happy I got to talk to you. And I just found out you don’t hate me so...” he holds our intertwined hands and shakes it. “woo hoo!” I laugh as we let go.
“I guess I should go back to the party.”
“Yeah, okay. I won’t keep you.”
“Okay,” I’m a little stung he doesn’t suggest I stay a little longer. Maybe it was all in my head, maybe his intentions really were to make amends and that’s it. I pick my drink up from his windowsill and move to the door. I glance back before I go, he’s laying on his bed deep in thought, gazing up at the ceiling. I close the door behind me.
***
I wake the next morning, surprisingly well. I can’t say the same for Gaelle who’d passed me her keys at some point and told me she’d be home late. I spent the rest of the party trailing Regan until I decided I should just go crash. Harry hadn’t come out to find me, and I tried to hide the sour feeling, excusing myself early.
“Fuck me,” Gaelle croaks from her bed when I step into her open doorway.
“How about coffee, and pancakes?” I ask, returning the favor of being able to sleep here.
“I’ll take it,” she flops back into bed. I busy myself with measuring coffee and water, my thoughts occupied with everything Harry and I had been through since we last saw each other. I demonized him for so long, humanizing him is harder to swallow.
What he’d done to me was shitty, there was no denying. But had he really changed? And most importantly, why did I care so much? It’s not like he was the one.
My phone rings: Regan. She’s talking so fast I hardly hear her, only really understand that it was a party ritual to gather in the student centre the morning after a big party. Endless coffee and free food seemed to be the general consensus for a party cure.
“I don’t know if I can make it there,” Gaelle says when I tell her. “I was hoping for pancakes at home.”
“I already put the coffee on but I’m hauling your ass there if you’re not up in 5. Our train leaves after noon anyway and it’s closer to the college.”
Slowly but surely Gaelle emerges and we make our way, spotting Regan easily as the bright spot in a sea of college students in PJs and last night’s clothing. She’s the only one fully dressed, with a full face of makeup on.
“I didn’t drink that much,” she shrugs when we settle around her and Adam’s friends. “Unlike some people.” She looks pointedly at Adam who’s slumped where he sits. I remember the kegger and laugh.
Life soon flows back into the group around us as does the coffee and breakfast foods. I’m relaxed in the environment until I look down the tables to where Harry stands, looking back at me. He raises a hand and I do the same until an extremely tall angel--she was literally wearing a halo, probably from last night-walks up to him and wraps her hands around his waist. She says something to him and he tears his gaze away.
I look down at my cup immediately, my cheeks burning with humiliation. I’d been thinking about him all this time, thinking about how it might feel if I kissed him and of course he had a girlfriend. She never came up, but he never said he didn’t either. He didn’t make any moves on me yesterday, if I looked at it he only made an attempt to talk. Sure he was flirty but that was just Harry and I...I was a fool. I was such a fool. Things may have changed for him but he hadn’t. He was still the same Harry who chose Josslyn over me. He would always have a girlfriend, I was just the girl from his past who he could trust. I couldn’t say the same about him.
“What’s wrong,” my best friend nudges me. “Are you feeling okay?”
“I don’t know,” I look into her concerned eyes. “I’m just going to--I’ll be right back.”
I head out and find the closest washroom. The tears are instant and I let myself cry--out of frustration, humiliation, or some twisted sense of betrayal...it was all the same for me. I check the time, I just had to hold myself together and avoid Harry for another 2 hours before we were back on the train home. I would tell Regan everything then.
*** Three weeks later ***
“If Adam’s over later...” Regan trails off. She’s sprawled on my bed while I sit in my desk chair trying to read one more chapter before I close the books for the week.
“I have my earplugs ready and a second place to stay,” I roll my eyes. “I already told Kiara I might crash on her couch.”
“I owe you,” she jumps back up.
“You owe me like, 7 and a half.”
“7 and a half?”
I’m about to answer but a knock on our door has her racing out. I try to ignore the voices, I just had two more pages I had to get through--the joy of summer classes.
“Y/N?: Regan’s voice is a whisper. “We’re going now but...you have a guest. If you want me to kick his ass I totally can though.”
Standing behind her is Harry. I focus on him, yes it really was him. Why was he here?
“Harry?” I sound confused because I am. He’s wearing a plain white t-shirt and jeans, and he’d traveled 2 hours just to get here.
“He wouldn’t leave me alone,” Adam says louder as they leave the room. “I’m sorry Y/N...”
“What is this?” I ask. My feelings are at war with each other, I was still feeling slighted by the last time we saw each other but seeing his face was also an exciting surprise.
“I wanted to see you,” Harry says nervously. He still stays at my bedroom door.
“You can come in...” I stand up and realize I was wearing an oversize t-shirt and the scruffiest PJ shorts I owned. “Phones have cameras now, you didn’t have to come all this way.”
He shrugs, taking one step in. “I liked seeing you in person last time. But I feel like we left it wrong.”
He knows I saw him, what conclusions I must have come to. It wouldn’t be that hard. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. We talked it out.”
He comes to life, “Don’t play dumb Y/N I know you saw me with...I know what you thought and-”
“Did you really come all this way to explain that you had a girlfriend? Like, three weeks later?”
“No that’s the thing-”
“Because that’s kind of dumb. And unnecessary-”
“No listen!” He says a bit louder so I do. “The thing is she wasn’t my girlfriend...we’d hung out a few times but she saw me at the caf and got clingy. We’re not an item honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had a girlfriend-.”
“So why are you here?” My voice is higher than usual. I was confused, and upset, and I wanted him to leave. This was starting to sound like Josslyn part 2.
“You know why I’m here. Y/N I’ve been nothing but a dick to you and I know I don’t deserve you but I really like you. I want to clear the air, and ask you if you can see something here I...”
He trails off when he notices the tears trailing down my cheek. It’s just too much for me, as I finally face the emotions from that weekend. I’d shoved them aside after Regan had gotten onto the train worried her and Adam were headed towards a breakup. I’d put aside what happened and never thought about it. But my heart broke a little that morning. 
I knew what I knew: maybe Harry and I weren’t good for each other but we were good with each other. In an attempt not to get hurt I’ve been distancing myself from romantic connections--I found more of myself in doing this, but a part of me was missing without exploring it.
Harry moved closer until we’re nearly touching. I wipe my tears with my shoulder and we stand still on the hardwood floors of my room. An eternity passes before he reaches out to wipe the tear caught in my lashes. I close my eyes to his touch, scared of how much I wanted it.
“Y/N,” my name is a breath on his lips and it makes my heart stutter. My eyes open in slow motion, seeing him so vulnerable right in front of me, and suddenly things speed up and we’re reaching for each other; two waves crashing until they become one.
***
I don’t know how much time had passed in minutes, Adam and Regan are still out but Harry and I had fallen together and crashed apart so many times that I’m dizzy with it.
“You’re wonderful,” he says as we face each other, our noses just nearly touching. He trails a finger down my cheek. “Just...incredible.”
I feel the flush spread through me, “Great vocab Styles. We’re really using the big words.”
“Words are sort of hard right now,” he grins. “My brain’s all mush.”
I laugh, “Not much different to its usual state!”
“I knew you were going to say that!” he tries to reach for me but I skip off the bed with a laugh. “Come back.”
“I have to pee,” I slip on pants and can’t stop grinning the whole time I’m away. When I come back in, the blissful smile on his face tells me everything I need to know. I climb over him but he stops me in place, a knee on either side of his hips.
“I’m happiest when I’m with you Y/N,” he says, his voice roughened with emotion. “I think I always was. Younger Harry liked to self-sabotage.”
I bend down and my hair slips around us. The way he looks at me makes my insides mush. And even though I have proof of why I shouldn’t trust him, he’s here. In my bed. Miles away from where he would be if he hadn’t traveled all this way to see me. And that means something.
“I’m glad you’ve done some growing,” I say to him quietly.
“I had to,” he says softly. “I couldn’t have you like I do now if I hadn’t.”
“I guess we’ve both grown,” I brush a curl from his forehead.
“I know, old Y/N would have punched me if I showed up unexpectedly.”
“Rightly so,” I grin. He smiles back, brushing my hair behind my ear, back over my shoulder. He props himself on his elbow to kiss the shoulder he’d bared. It’s simple, and sweet, but it’s enough to unravel me all over again. And he knows it.
“When does Regan get home?”
“We might have another half hour,” I grin.
“Let’s not waste it,” he mumbles into my skin.
I agree.

gah this is too cute!!!! <3333
- 🌱 anon [i guess that works for a long-term name lol]
GUH <333 GHUH <333 GGHHHGHHH <3 THIS IS GONNA BE LONG AGAIN IM SORRY-
SFW BELOW
(OH AND HERES THE PREVIOUS ASK)
OH GOODNESS <3333 THIS ASK IS GIVING ME SUPREME BRAINROT <333
JUST <333 listen his apartment is pretty small all things considered bc he,, doesn't really need much?? BUT ALSO ITS WAY BIGGER THAN ANYTHING HE'S USED TO??
Like esp if he's Mobile and Repaired it feels,, almost wrong having so much empty space to move around in??? Like at least in the Basement Lab has the background noise of computer terminals and pipes n stuff but,,, his apartment is uncannily quiet??
THIS MEANS HE LEAVES THE WINDOW OPEN AT ALL TIMES. Hearing the sounds of the city?? is so soothing. Also its completely new to him?? <33 so like for the first few nights he just kinda,, sits by the window and listens to the world while he reads.
MNSDMSD I MENTIONED THIS IN THE TAGS OF THE PREVIOUS POST THAT LIKE,, he has this Very Bad Habit of picking things up and then placing them somewhere else that is,, Very Percarious??
BC HES A ~PERFECT AI~ SO LIKE,, he can balance shit perfectly and then balance MORE shit on top of THAT shit and now you can't access the window bc theres smth resembling Modern Art in the way
AND OF COURSE, in his hubris he accidentally like,, stumbles a bit and that Slight Vibration causes several Piles Of Books And Trinkets to come clattering down >:( he'll still insist it was from Myc being too loud
OH SPEAKING OF MYC-
AB is a heavy sleeper he is a very heavy sleeper he could probably sleep through a fucking atom bomb but somehow Myc always seems to wake him up at like 3 am with his nonsense
LISTEN HE DIDNT MEAN TO PUT HIS ARM THROUGH THE WALL, IT JUST KINDA HAPPENED
He woke up suddenly and went to,, Bat On The Wall To Tell Him To Shut The Fuck Up and in his half-awake tizzy forgot that he has super strength and.... well
I mean at least Myc shut off his music after so he considers it a resounding success
YES HIM GETTING A LITTLE KITTEN <33
he didn't even get her on purpose - he noticed her climbing along his windowsill and,,, well he couldn't just leave her out there, she could fall and hurt herself and shes just so tiny it would be cruel to leave her out in the snow all alone and Oh No He Has A Cat Now??? When Did This Happen >:(
She's this,, tiny little white Cornish Rex?? No matter how much he feeds her she stays vv thin and lanky lmao.
Her 'Official Name' is Piper, (as in the Pied Piper bc,,, Jesus Christ He's Pretty Sure She's Killed Half The Rats In Virginia At This Point With How Many She Keeps Leaving Around. She takes after her dads homicidal tendencies I guess)
(ALSO,,, PRINCESS <33 bc she IS his little princess <333 yea he coos little endearments at her but he would never admit that lmao)
She perches as high as she can and just,, stares at everything. It unnerves ppl and he loves it <333 ITS THOSE BIG OL EYES, ALWAYS SUPER SHARP. The only time they get all Big is when she's being ignored and decides Fathers Ankles Need To Be Swiped For This Crime >:(
she doesn't audibly purr but,, like,, when you pet her you can feel her vibrating?? HE ADORES IT <333
YOURE 99% SURE THAT CAT HAS IT OUT FOR YOU THOUGH. LIKE SHE KEEPS GROWLING AT YOU WHEN YOURE JUST,, EXISTING. THIS BATTLE IS NEVER-ENDING SORRY LMAO.
THE PLANTS WERE,, ANOTHER THING THAT JUST KINDA HAPPENED.
It started with Brett getting him a little succulent to 'break in the new home', and he got used to taking care of it and,,, so when Elliot needed to get rid of a few old houseplants to make room for a new desk of course AB was the first one to ask and-
I MEAN HIS PLACE IS GORGEOUS, JUST,,, A BIT CLUTTERED LMAO.
It really does feel like a greenhouse <333 theres plants wherever he can stick them. You're pretty sure he'd have dandelions growing out of the floorboards if you gave him the chance.
LIKE YOU CAN STILL MOVE AROUND BUT YOU ALWAYS WORRY YOU'RE GONNA KNOCK OVER HIS TULIPS OR SMTH. He's very proud of everything and you can practically see him resisting the urge to start explaining all the intricacies of growing each of them.
MSNDMSD ILL CUT THIS OFF HERE BC ITS ALREADY GETTING LONG <333 BUT AAA I ADORE THIS IDEA SO MUCH. ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE.
